Chapter 128: You'll Soon Be a Cousin
Unable to find the portrait, Tao Yao was a little disappointed.
When he came out of Tao Qian's yard, he ran into the Li family.
"Young?" Li Shi was a little surprised when he saw her, "When did you come back?" ”
"I just arrived." Tao Yao replied.
"But come to your father? He is out today, and he is not there. Li said.
Tao Yao nodded, "Well, I just found out." ”
After thinking about it, she stepped forward and said, "Auntie, yesterday's palace banquet, you and your uncle also went, what do you think of the imperial concubine...... Does it look like me? ”
Li Shi was stunned, "Why do you ask that?" ”
Tao Yao paused and explained: "There are many people who tell me that I look very similar to the imperial concubine, so I want to ask my aunt, my mother, do you have other sisters?" ”
When Li Shi heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, held her hand and said: "When your mother was alive, I didn't hear that she had other sisters, don't think about it, there are many people who look like each other in this world, this is nothing unusual." ”
Tao Yao paused and nodded, "That's right, then I don't care." Auntie, I still have to go to Chen Guogong's mansion, I'll go first. ”
"Okay, let's go." Lee nodded lovingly.
As soon as Tao Yao left, Li's brows furrowed.
But it's no wonder that Yao Yao would ask like that, the imperial concubine and Xiao Yao are really similar, just like ...... Mother and daughter alike.
Li sighed in her heart, she hoped that the Shen family was really dead back then, otherwise if the one in the palace was really Shen, how could this be embarrassing for the third brother? How to deal with the premature death?
But in this world, except for twins, who looks exactly the same? And the Shen family has no other sisters.
After Tao Yao left the Tao Mansion, he got into a carriage and went to the Chen Guogong Mansion.
On the way, she frowned.
She always felt that her aunt's reaction was too bland.
The aunt had lived with her mother-in-law, so she naturally knew her mother's appearance and appearance, so she wanted to find the answer from her aunt, but the aunt's reaction was beyond her expectations.
The aunt didn't feel strange at all that she looked like the imperial concubine.
But even though there are indeed people who look alike in this world, her reaction like that is inevitably too bland, as if she is hiding something.
Because normal people shouldn't react that way.
Could it be that Aunt is really hiding something from her?
Tao Yao thought thoughtfully.
When he arrived at Chen Guogong's mansion, Tao Yao learned that the eldest princess had invited Princess Jingwen.
When she arrived, the eldest princess didn't know what to say to Jingwen, and Jingwen looked impatient.
When she saw Tao Yao, Princess Jingwen's face clearly had the word disgust written on it.
Tao Yao didn't care, and went straight forward to salute the two.
The eldest princess hurriedly helped her up, "No need to be polite, there are no outsiders here." ”
Hearing this, Princess Jingwen suddenly sneered, "Grandma Huang's aunt really doesn't treat others as outsiders, but in fact, she is an outsider." ”
The eldest princess said angrily: "You go, don't make me angry here." ”
Jingwen stood up and said angrily, "You called me here, I don't want to come yet." ”
The eldest princess's face became ugly, and she said angrily: "Okay, okay, I won't call you next time, you will get out of me now!" ”
Jingwen snorted, "Let's go." When she passed Tao Yao, she suddenly stopped and smiled weirdly, "Do you know where Lu Guogong left Beijing?" ”
Tao Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "Where did you go?" ”
Seeing her so bland, Jingwen choked, thought of something, and suddenly gloated and said, "Maybe, when Lu Guogong comes back, you will become a concubine." ”
"Jingwen, shut up!" The eldest princess reprimanded angrily.
"What I'm saying is the truth, if it weren't for Lu Guogong not wanting to be the master, how could there be Tao today?" After Jingwen finished speaking, she raised her feet and left.
Tao Yao was confused.
What does it mean that Lu Guogong doesn't want to be the master?
As far as she knows, there is only one daughter in the saint today.
With Jingwen's temperament, Lu Jiuyuan naturally doesn't like it.
But Jingwen's words seem to be the same thing!
She frowned slightly.
"Don't listen to Jingwen's nonsense, things are not what she said." The eldest princess took her hand, sat down on the chair, and said with relief.
Tao Yao came back to his senses and nodded, "Hmm." ”
Seeing this, the eldest princess was obviously relieved.
"My husband left Beijing this time, does the eldest princess know where he went?" Tao Yao asked instead.
The eldest princess thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Jiuyuan was ordered to go out of Beijing to save someone, and I only found out after asking the emperor last night." ”
"Who?" Tao Yao was curious.
"She is the only living sister of the emperor, the eldest princess of Zhaole." The eldest princess said.
Tao Yao was stunned.
The eldest princess of Zhaole?
"Is there something dangerous about the eldest princess?" She asked, puzzled.
The eldest princess sighed, "The fief of the eldest princess Zhaole is in the Yin Mountain of the frontier, and this time I don't know what happened, but I was captured by the Khitans.
The Khitan king came with a letter, asking the emperor to exchange two cities.
This is naturally impossible, but he can't ignore Zhaole's life or death, and after making a decision, he sent Jiuyuan to save Zhaole. ”
When Tao Yao heard this, his heart sank, "Isn't it dangerous for my husband to save him alone?" ”
The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Are you worried about Jiuyuan?" ”
Tao Yao frowned and nodded, "Hmm." ”
How could she not be worried?
I heard that the Khitans were very cruel and cunning, and Lu Jiuyuan went alone, which was too dangerous.
"Don't worry, Jiuyuan is good, and he has infiltrated the Khitan, explored, and is very familiar with the Khitan terrain, he will be fine." The eldest princess reassured.
Tao Yao couldn't feel at ease.
No matter how powerful Lu Jiuyuan is, if he breaks into the enemy camp alone, he is afraid that he will be more than lucky......
"Jiuyuan probably didn't tell you because he was afraid that you would be worried." The eldest princess said, took the tea brought by the next person, and handed it to Tao Yao.
Tao Yao was not in the mood, so he only took a sip and put it down.
"You're so worried, I wouldn't have told you if I knew I wouldn't have told you." The eldest princess regretted it a little.
Tao Yao hurriedly said: "I'm grateful to you for telling me, otherwise I wouldn't know anything." ”
"But if you don't know, it's a good thing, so don't worry." The eldest princess sighed, "Okay, don't think about it, come and walk around the garden with me." ”
Tao Yao had no choice but to restrain his thoughts and get up and follow her.
When he returned to the Lu Guogong Mansion in the afternoon, Dong'er also happened to come back.
"Madam, the matter you asked the slave to investigate has a result." Dong'er said, then took out a bottle from her sleeve.
"What is it?" Tao Yao asked with his spirits.
"The slave and maid searched for several doctors, and found out that what was mixed in the wine was a kind of acacia incense." Dong'er said with a solemn face.
When Tao Yao heard this, his face was stained with a layer of haze.
Princess Jingwen is really vicious, and she actually put acacia incense in the wine, which is to make her ugly in public.
If she had drunk that glass of wine last night, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
The other party has repeatedly made trouble for her, and if she doesn't respect her, she will be too sorry for herself.
