Chapter 81: Persuasion
"Yes, don't worry, grandfather, I'll keep my mouth shut."
Xuan Bao knew that this was many years ago, and that it involved the palace, and his grandfather needed time to investigate.
Li Guang interjected: "Father, you take the time to talk to your aunt." ”
"Auntie?" Xuan Bao's face was full of curiosity, "Is the eldest uncle talking about my mother's aunt?" How could she have known such things? ”
"Xuanbao, didn't your mother tell you? Today's Queen Mother is the sister of this king. ”
"Oh." Xuan Bao suddenly realized, "It turns out that my mother is the queen mother's mother's family, and the second room is therefore jealous, otherwise the Hou Mansion would have been moved out by them a long time ago." ”
"The words are not rough, father, listen to it, how transparent Xuanbao is." Li Guang praised.
The old prince nodded: "Although he is young, he is much more transparent than your sister." ”
"Grandfather, don't praise me like that, I'll be embarrassed." Xuan Bao covered his cheeks and smiled, and his bright starry eyes smiled like a crooked crescent moon, looking very cute.
"If the Queen Mother sees you, she will definitely like it." The old prince was very emotional, "Back then, your mother was as soft and cute as you, and the Queen Mother liked her very much." In recent years, Li Rou's health has not been good, and when I entered the palace with your grandmother, she still asked about it from time to time. ”
Xuan Bao said obediently: "If I have the opportunity to enter the palace another day, I will definitely go to see the Queen Mother." ”
"I can inquire about things, but those mysterious things?" The old prince was still very worried.
patted his chest and promised, "Grandfather, don't worry, there is me." ”
"Grandfather knows you're good, but?"
Looking at the little milk dumpling on the Taishi's chair, although the eldest son repeatedly emphasized that Xuanbao had real skills, the old prince was still very worried.
The old Taoist master in the space mentioned Xuanbao, and the little doll's eyes suddenly widened, and then she said with a smile: "Grandfather, do you still remember the national teacher Yin Dao Chang back then?" ”
The old prince was obviously impressed and blurted out: "I naturally remember that the national teacher Yin Qin Daochang was very strong in spells, could pinch and calculate, and the hexagram was accurate, and he would always ask his opinion when there was a major event in the court." ”
When Xuanbao heard this, he knew in his heart, it turned out that he had leaked a lot of heavenly secrets, no wonder he died young.
"What was my grandfather's age when he met the national teacher?"
"I was only a teenager at the time, and the first emperor was still the crown prince, and as his companion, I often went in and out of the palace, and often met national teachers." The old prince shook his head and sighed, "Later, for some reason, Daoist Yin Qin resigned from the position of national teacher and drifted away, and the royal family couldn't find him after several searches, and there has been no news since then." ”
"Because he's dead."
"yes, all these years." The old prince suddenly reacted, "Xuanbao, how do you know that Daoist Yin Qin has returned to the west?" ”
Straightening his waist, Xuanbao coughed lightly and tried to pretend to be old: "The national teacher Yin Qin back then was my nephew, and his master Xuanhui Daochang was my senior brother. ”
What kind of messy relationship is this? The news was too shocking, and the old prince and Li Guang were shocked.
Xuanbao then explained: "I am a disciple of Xuantianmen, and at present, I should also be the highest ranking in Xuantianmen. ”
"Xuantianmen, by the way, that's right, it's Xuantianmen." The old prince looked at Xuanbao with surprise and joy, he was already sure that what his granddaughter said was true.
Seeing that the old prince was so excited that he stood up and rushed to Xuanbao, opening his mouth but not saying a word, Li Guang hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the old father.
"Don't worry, don't worry, if you have something to say slowly, what a big deal, why are you so excited?"
Syllable! The old prince unceremoniously slapped Li Guang's head: "Shut up!" “
"Grandfather?" Xuanbao put his hands on his knees and looked up at the old prince, looking like a good little doll.
After taking a deep breath, the old prince stabilized his emotions: "That's right, you're right. Master Yin Qin said that he was a disciple of Xuantianmen, and the first emperor, who was the crown prince back then, asked him curiously, and I was the only one present at that time. Where did you find out? ”
"Overheard."
"Is it the national teacher who said it?"
"Senior nephew Yin Qin didn't intend to talk about it with my senior brother Xuanhui Daoist, and someone who was interested happened to hear it."
What Xuan Bao said was reasonable, Li Guang was confused, for him, the national teacher back then was just a legend and had not seen it with his own eyes, but it was different for the old prince, the incredible things that Yin Qin did back then are vivid, and in retrospect, it is as clear as if it happened yesterday.
"Saying these past events just proves that I am Yin Qin's little uncle, my grandfather believes me now." Xuan Bao thought about it and added, "The old monk of Tianlong Temple has a friendship with my master, if I can't solve it, it shouldn't be difficult to ask him to help." ”
Thinking of Xuanbao going to Tianlong Temple, the monks who easily don't see outsiders have seen it, and the old prince has to admit that the little granddaughter is not only capable, but also has a big face, and it is not easy to call the old monk.
"Okay, what does grandfather need to do, just say it, I'll do it with all my might." The old prince is finally completely relieved.
Xuan Bao thought for a while and said: "The first thing is to ask my grandfather to inquire about what strange things happened in the palace twenty-five years ago, and the old monk said that my grandfather took away the bluestone slab engraved with a spell in order to go to the palace to suppress evil things. ”
"I've made a note of this."
"The second thing is to ask my uncle for help and find two skilled maids to protect her by my mother's side."
"It's not difficult." Li Guang was still a little worried, "It's just that no matter how strong you are, you can only deal with normal people." ”
"I know that all abnormal people and abnormal things are left to me."
Li Guang agreed: "Okay." ”
Xuanbao's little head turned: "How is my grandfather's friendship with my grandfather?" ”
"It's not bad, but it's not to the extent of friendship, when I married your mother into the Hou Mansion, I value your father more."
"Because your father Xiao Yuan is good friends with me and Li Kuo, we are often together when we are young, and he often comes to our palace, and your grandfather also watched him grow up and knew his temperament, so he married your mother to him." Li Guang explained.
The old prince stroked his white beard and continued: "As for your grandfather, it should be said that I have a good impression, at least he is a decent person. ”
"When my grandfather was alive, how did the emperor treat him?"
"At that time, the first emperor was still on the throne, because after all, I was the queen at that time, and now the queen mother's younger brother, some things are directly handed over to me for fear of attracting gossip, so he will hand over some things to your grandfather."
"So the first emperor had a good relationship with my grandfather?"
"So to speak."
"My grandfather died suddenly, and the emperor heard anything unusual at that time?"
The old prince lowered his voice: "You can just say this to me, and you must not talk about it in front of outsiders." ”
