Chapter 207 Protecting Mother
The old lady took Yunniang back to her room.
The old master took Rong Che to the study room for tea.
The maid pushed the door open and took out a small box from the cabinet. The key was kept by the old lady herself. After the maid left, she handed the key to Yunniang.
"Go open it and have a look." The old lady looked kind.
"The luckiest thing in my life is to pick you up. I always feel that it was God's will that pushed you to my side." The old lady's eyebrows were gentle and her eyes were smiling.
With a click.
The lock opened, and Xu pushed open the sandalwood box.
The swaddling clothes were slightly yellowed due to the long time and soaked in the blizzard. Xu gently stroked the swaddling clothes with a gloomy look.
"That night, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. When I closed my eyes, I felt extremely uneasy. I could hear a baby crying in my dreams."
"That night, for some reason, I wanted to go out very strongly."
"Who knew that I would actually find you."
"You were only wearing a swaddling cloth, and there was an inner pocket in the swaddling cloth, and the jade pendant was hidden in it. I was afraid that you would lose it, so I lied to you that the Xu family's jade pendant was passed down to girls, not boys." The old lady laughed and joked.
"When I found you, the nanny beside you had frozen to death. Even the purse on your body was turned over, and I guess the silver and money were taken away."
"The only thing that can prove your identity is the jade pendant and the swaddling cloth."
"I'll give this thing to you. If your biological mother comes to look for you in the future..."
"Whether she comes to look for me or not, I'm just a girl from the Xu family." Xu knelt in front of the old lady, resting her head on her knees, with a look of admiration.
"I died on that snowy night. It was my parents who gave me a second life. Yunniang will always be a member of the Xu family. Even if my mother chases me away, I won't leave." Xu pouted slightly, looking like a spoiled child.
As soon as these words came out, the old lady felt relieved.
The old lady touched her hair. It was not easy to raise a frail baby like that.
"Over there... is the royal family of the Southern Kingdom." Xu whispered.
The old lady paused as she held her hair.
"The relationship in the royal family of the Southern Kingdom is complicated. I just hope it won't affect you. Your children must work harder and climb to a higher position to protect you." The old lady only felt sorry for her for meeting the wrong person, but was glad that her four children were talented.
After lunch, Xu Yiting called the three brothers Lu Yanshu to the study.
The children suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
They were eager to climb up, to work harder, and to become the indispensable one in Beizhao.
Only then could they protect their mother.
Lu Chaochao lay at the door, pointing at the house with a face full of accusation: "Why don't you let me listen?"
Aunt San stroked her slightly bulging belly: "You are still young, it's not suitable for children."
"Hey, my dog goes in to listen?" Lu Chaochao wanted to push Zhuifeng in.
Aunt San shook her head: "Chaochao and the dog are not allowed to enter."
Bah, Lu Chaochao stamped her feet in anger.
It was not until the evening that the brothers went out with heavy faces.
Chaochao was still young and emotionally unstable. Everyone was afraid that she would lose control, and they did not dare to offend her with this matter.
"Living in General Rong's mansion is against etiquette after all. I will live back to my mother's house for the time being, just to accompany my mother. We haven't lived together for many years." The old lady's eyebrows were full of joy.
Rong Che knew it was unreasonable, but he couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.
Xu smiled at him, and then smiled and agreed: "Okay, Yunniang also misses her mother."
In the end, only Rong Che left the Xu family alone.
Before leaving, Xu glanced at him and said, "Open a door on the wall, don't climb the wall like a pervert all day long." After saying that, Xu covered her face and left, her cheeks flushed with shame.
Rong Che's eyes were bright and scorching: "Okay, okay!"
Rong Che couldn't close his mouth, and he walked and laughed, leaving like a landlord's fool.
The next day.
Before dawn, the emperor summoned Lu Chaochao to the palace.
Yesterday, Lu Chaochao was frightened, and he didn't dare to take Chaochao away from Xu. He waited until the next day before sending someone to pick him up.
He was afraid that something would happen to Bei Zhao's precious child.
"What a bastard, he actually attacked my Zhaoyang!"
Fortunately, Princess Zhaoyang had great magical powers, so she was spared.
Rong Che did not hide it from the emperor. He found that the emperor seemed to have an inexplicable admiration for Lu Chaochao. No matter how awesome the matter was, he accepted it well.
The emperor was relieved when he saw that Lu Chaochao did not show any abnormality.
"Tonight, accompany me to persuade the queen."
"Wan'er is angry with me. Probably, it's because of Concubine Hui. I don't know why, she has a very bad impression of Concubine Hui and is prejudiced against her." The emperor sighed.
Although he is the emperor, he is also a mortal and has his own selfishness.
He gave the queen status and favored Concubine Hui.
He personally raised the eldest prince and gave him all the warmth.
He personally taught the prince and gave him the glory he deserved, as well as the future of Beizhao.
One occupies the emotions, and the other occupies the reason.
"Concubine Hui is a very good person. If you get along with Concubine Hui, you will like her too."
"It's just that she has a cold temperament and seems to keep people away from her. In fact, she is soft-hearted."
[Is it possible that she only keeps you away from her? ]
"The queen has a deep prejudice against her."
[That's because she always hooks up with the queen, and the queen is worried. 】
"After the reunion dinner yesterday, Concubine Hui went to visit her, but she locked her out. I tried to comfort her, but she didn't appreciate it." The emperor always felt that the queen had a prejudice against Concubine Hui.
[How could she not be afraid when her husband's lover always flirts with her? 】
The emperor held Lu Chaochao's hand and said as they walked.
When talking about the past, the emperor began to talk more and more, and even had some aftertaste.
"Concubine Hui's temperament really hasn't changed in ten years."
"Back then, she was polite to me and never flattered me. This is still the case today." Everyone in the harem praised the emperor, but Concubine Hui was cold and indifferent.
The emperor felt that she was real.
The prince scratched his head anxiously, Chao Chao's thoughts made him feel on pins and needles.
Everyone came to the gate of the Queen's Palace.
Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Concubine Hui's sedan chair parked outside the door.
"Hui'er, it's okay if the queen doesn't appreciate her. Why do you always suffer in front of her door?"
"You bunch of dog slaves, why don't you invite Concubine Hui in? In this world of ice and snow, if you get frostbite, I will make sure you look good!" The emperor felt sorry for Concubine Hui, and saw that there was already a thin layer of snow on her body. How long have you been standing?
"Your Majesty, you are not allowed to rebuke the Queen!" Concubine Hui's eyes were full of seriousness.
The emperor was helpless: "That's all, you are still protecting her. She is the master of the middle palace. Every time you greet me, you can't even enter the palace door. How can you behave like this?"
The emperor didn't understand either.
It is clear that the Queen knows the general situation well and is even extremely tolerant towards the entire harem. Only when he saw Concubine Hui, he avoided her like a snake or a scorpion.
"Let's go, I'll take the decision today and take you in!" The emperor glanced at his grandmother.
Grandma, who wanted to stop her, had no choice but to retreat.
[Oh my god, Shura Field. I have seen cuckolds, but I have never seen them cuckolding themselves! 】
"What are you carrying in your hand?" the emperor asked casually.
Concubine Hui was holding a food box in her hand.
Concubine Hui smiled and said, "These are the snacks I personally made for your empress. They are her favorite chestnut cakes and Bazhen cakes."
"You have a heart."
"You never gave it to me, but you often gave it to her. She doesn't know what's good or bad."
The prince had already started to cover his face.
Can not bear to look.
