After Gu Changqing left, Tao Yao returned to Tao Ling's courtyard.

"Lord Gu is looking for the second sister, what's the matter?" Tao Shu was the first to ask.

Tao Yao said what Gu Changqing said.

Tao Ling was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "Why should he?" It has nothing to do with him. ”

"Second sister, do you think that Master Gu wants to marry you in order to make up for you? It's not like that, Lord Gu has long liked you and wanted to marry you for a long time. Tao Yao hurriedly said.

"I ...... Not worthy of him. Tao Ling said with a gloomy expression.

Tao Yao was really a little angry now, "Second sister, you are very good, worthy of anyone, don't belittle yourself like this, okay?" ”

"Yes, second sister, why do you think like that? If you don't deserve it, Master Gu won't come to you three or twice, and he will go to great lengths to invite all of us to play together. Tao Shu couldn't help but say.

"My second sister is the best girl in the world, worthy of anyone." Tao Lian also clenched his fists and said.

"The girls of our Tao family are the best, Ling Ling, don't talk about yourself like that, you should be confident." Chen said on the side.

Li touched Tao Ling's hair and said firmly: "Wu'er is worthy of anyone, but he was bitten by a dog, you shouldn't deny yourself for this."

In our minds, you have always been a good girl with ice and jade. ”

When Tao Ling heard this, he suddenly threw himself into her arms and cried.

From the accident to the present, she has been holding back and not crying in front of others, but now, the care of her family has made her break her defense.

She didn't suppress it anymore, and cried happily, venting all the humiliation and fear she had suffered.

Tao Yao and a few others also wiped their tears, but fortunately, after Tao Ling cried, the whole person's spirit was much better.

Tao Ling cried and fell asleep.

Li and Tao Lian stayed in the house to guard her, and Chen brought Tao Shu and Tao Yao out.

"This time, it's really thanks to the untimely death." Chen held Tao Yao's hand and said.

Tao Yao shook her head, "It's good that the second sister is okay now, otherwise I won't forgive myself." ”

"Silly girl, don't say that, you've done a good job." Chen pulled the broken hair from her ear for her and said softly.

"Yes, don't blame yourself, now the second sister should think about it, and we will pay more attention to her and don't let her do stupid things." Tao Shu put his arm around her shoulders and said.

"Hmm." Tao Yao nodded.

"You didn't sleep much last night, tossing until now, you're also tired, you don't have to worry about things at home, with us, you can go back quickly." Chen said in a gentle tone.

Tao Yao is indeed tired.

Since Tao Ling's accident yesterday, her spirit has been tense, and now she is relaxed, and she is indeed a little unable to hold on.

As soon as Tao Shu sent her to the gate of the mansion, a carriage stopped in front of the gate.

Tao Yao recognized at a glance that it was the one Lu Jiuyuan was used to sitting in.

Sure enough, the curtain of the car was lifted, and she saw Lu Jiuyuan sitting there.

She said goodbye to Tao Shu and got into the carriage.

As soon as she entered, the man hugged her.

Sitting on the man's lap, Tao Yao's face burned a little, but he didn't do anything, but said softly: "If you're tired, just sleep for a while." ”

Tao Yao came back to his senses and nodded.

Her heart was warm, and she didn't shirk, and found a more comfortable position in his arms, then leaned comfortably on his chest and closed her eyes.

She was really tired, and in a few moments, she fell asleep in his arms.

She slept very deeply, and when the carriage arrived in front of the Guogong Mansion, she didn't wake up, and was still carried back to the courtyard by Lu Jiuyuan.

She slept this time, and she didn't wake up until the next day.

When she woke up and saw her room, she was still a little confused.

When did she come back?

She wasn't even impressed.

When Xi'er and Dong'er came in to serve her washing, they talked about the incident of last night.

"After the young lady was picked up by Guogong, she has been asleep, Guogong has never left a single step, just guarding you by the bedside, and the official business is directly sent by Wu Ze to deal with it." Xi'er solved her puzzles.

Dong'er also nodded and said, "Yes, Guogong only left this morning, and he also told the slaves and maids to take good care of you." ”

Tao Yao was a little surprised when he heard this.

She's just asleep, what's the matter with him......

But it is undeniable that her heart is indeed warmed.

Lu Jiuyuan is really good to her.

She couldn't help it, she also wanted to be nice to him.

So after washing, she told Dong'er to go to the big kitchen to get some ingredients back.

She planned to make something to eat and treat Lu Jiuyuan.

She can't do anything else, just this cooking, it's okay.

It's just that she didn't wait for Lu Jiuyuan to come back, but she waited for an uninvited guest.

Uncle Chen hurriedly came over to report, "Madam, the imperial concubine is here." ”

Tao Yao was stunned, "Imperial concubine? ”

She hadn't heard of it.

As far as she knows, after the death of the first queen, the emperor did not establish a queen again, so in the huge harem, Zhang Guifei was the leader, and Zhang Guifei was the highest in the harem.

But now, an imperial concubine suddenly appeared......

She was stewing something in the pot, and she was a little impatient with the sudden arrival of the imperial concubine, but she had to go out to greet her, so she had to ask Dong'er to help watch it.

After telling Dong'er, she took off her apron and followed Uncle Chen to the front hall.

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw a glutinous rice dumpling in a brocade dress, standing by the door with his feet crossed, looking around.

Seeing Tao Yao, the glutinous rice dumplings suddenly rushed over and plunged into her arms.

"Sister!"

Tao Yao was knocked aside, and when she heard this call, she wanted to push away the other party's movements.

Looking down, isn't it Heng'er?

"How do you ......"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw a woman dressed in a gorgeous and noble dress walk out of the hall.

The woman looked to be in her thirties, but she was well maintained, her face was as delicate as a peony, and she was full of style, and it could be seen that when she was young, she must have been a great beauty who captivated the country and the city.

But to Tao Yao's surprise, the woman's face was very similar to her.

The difference is that the woman is older than her, but if the two stand together, they will surely be recognized as sisters.

She's Heng'er's biological mother, right?

No wonder when Heng'er saw her that day, she called her mother.

But that's too much to look like......

When she raised her eyes to look at the woman, the woman was also looking at her with a smile.

It's just that the tenderness and love in her eyes made Tao Yao a little confused.

The two haven't met before, right?

She searched the memories of the original owner, but could not find the slightest impression of the woman.

So she was pretty sure the two hadn't seen each other before.

The woman is Rong Niang.

Looking at the girl in front of her, she was in a trance for a moment, and when she spoke, her voice was strangely hoarse, "You...... Is it Tao Yao? ”

"Mother, she is my sister." Heng'er replied for Tao Yao.

Tao Yao came back to her senses and knew that she should be the imperial concubine in Uncle Chen's mouth.

She let go of Heng'er and stepped forward to salute the woman, "The courtiers pay a visit to the imperial concubine." ”

Seeing this, Rong Niang took two quick steps and helped her up.

"Don't be polite, you are Heng'er's benefactor." Rong Niang's voice was very gentle, but there was an imperceptible excitement.

Tao Yao lowered her eyes and said: "The imperial concubine is serious, the courtiers have not done anything, and they really dare not be the benefactor of the little prince." ”

What she didn't notice was that after hearing this, Rong Niang looked at her in a daze, and there was a fleeting wetness in her eyes.
