After working for half the night, Xiao Chengyu returned to the house, it was already midnight.

Seeing that Lin Xueman hadn't slept yet, he was lying on the bed with all his clothes waiting for him, and said, "Don't wait for me in the future, you still have to take care of the child, pay attention to rest."

"Why did you come back? I fell asleep!" Lin Xueman yawned and asked, "How is it? Are you done?"

"As long as you have money, is there anything you can't handle?" Xiao Chengyu came out of the bathroom while wiping his face, and said with a smile, "I found a girl from Lanxiangyuan to act as a pilgrim, and the monk really took the bait. , and then, he wiped them all out, the facts are in front of him, and he can't deny it even if he wants to!"

"That monk looks benevolent and reasonable, but he is actually a flower picker." Lin Xueman shook her head in disbelief, and asked again, "When do you plan to repair the temple?"

"I don't care about this, I leave it to Jingkong to do it. I heard that she was originally the host there, but she was just taken up by those senior brothers and sisters, and she has been swallowing her breath. I have already handed over Tenglong Temple to She takes care of it together, two places in one, I believe she knows what to do!" He said disapprovingly, "As for building temples, I think she has more experience than me!"

"Well, I believe she hopes that Qiuzi Temple will become more popular than we do!" Lin Xueman smiled faintly, looked at him, and asked, "In a few days, Linlin will be [-] days old, let's set up a few tables at home , Invite the people from the yamen over for a gathering!"

"Put it at home? It's too simple, right? Let's celebrate this time. Mother said that father and sister will also come. Let's go to the restaurant to set up a few tables and invite more people over!" Xiao Chengyu undressed and went to bed, Lie down beside her, after running around all day, I am really tired!

"I think we can just set up two tables at home. Why do we have to go to a restaurant?" Lin Xueman turned to look at him and said, "We have to spend money everywhere in this big mess!"

"You don't need to worry about this. You didn't have a good time when Linlin was full moon, and you must make up for this hundred days. Not only do you have to do it, but you have to do it." Xiao Chengyu said, with a smile in his eyes, "Don't worry. I have my own arrangements!"

"Big deal? How much money do you have now?" Lin Xueman asked. Although the consumption here is low, everything has to be calculated. Right now, only the restaurant at home has money, but it is off-season.She checked the account books Shunzi brought last time, and it was March.The daily income has dropped a lot. If it is going to be as prosperous as it was when it opened last year, I'm afraid it will have to wait until the weather cools down.

The restaurants here have not yet written off their horoscopes, and they need to spend money everywhere...

"Two thousand!" Xiao Chengyu replied with raised eyebrows.

"Where did you get so much money?" Lin Xueman was a little surprised. Why hadn't he heard about so much money?

"Xueman, listen to me." Xiao Chengyu grabbed her hand.He stroked and said, "I wanted to tell you a long time ago. But I never had the chance. During the Chinese New Year, I didn't come back! In addition, I was trapped on Lingluo Mountain by heavy snow, so the palace gave everyone The official issued 2000 taels of silver bills, saying it was a condolence..."

He paused, saw her staring at him calmly, and hurriedly said: "Of course, it was suggested by Princess Nalan, we went to a total of four people, everyone has, not just me, really !"

Seeing that she was silent, he said again: "Daughter-in-law, I didn't mean to hide it from you. You see, as soon as I came back, I ran into you giving birth. I was in a hurry and didn't remember it. Then I hurried to the capital to take a job, and then When I came to Bingzhou, I wanted to give it to you, but I needed money to recruit soldiers and horses, so I asked someone to exchange it for cash. Besides, I always thought you had money, so I never asked you if you wanted money.... "

"Why are you so nervous? I just asked you casually. It's a good thing to have money. Since it came from aboveboard, why do you feel so guilty?" Seeing him looking at her cautiously, Lin Xueman couldn't help but chuckled, "Even if Princess Nalan suggested it, so what? You haven’t come back for the Chinese New Year, and you’ve been trapped on the mountain for so long, shouldn’t you be given some benefits? In your heart, I’m just so narrow-minded?”

"I'm not afraid that you will be unhappy! Because you ignore me when you are unhappy, and when you ignore me, my heart feels empty..." Seeing a smile on her face, Xiao Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief. He hugged her and said, "Whatever happens to me in the future, I will tell you as soon as possible, and it will never take so long, I swear!"

"It doesn't matter, you can say what you want, and I don't ask if you don't want to, I believe in you!" She smiled lightly, "If I suspect you all day long, I will be so tired!"

"Let me tell you, I'll tell you everything in the future." He grabbed her and whispered in her ear, "I have a lot to tell you now, do you want to hear it?"

"What are you talking about?" Looking at his meaningful eyes, she understood what he meant in her heart, and her face turned red. Although she and this man had long been intimate with each other by skin, every bedtime, she He still feels a little shy, since she gave birth, every time he has sex with him, he is almost as crazy as a wedding night, and it seems that he can never ask her enough...

"Want to hear? I'll tell you right now..." His kisses immediately fell on her face and her neck like a storm...

Ningkun Palace.

The shreds of tobacco from the hollow incense burner curled out, and a faint fragrance lingered in the room, mixed with the fragrance of seasonal flowers placed around, and mixed into a tangy fragrance, which slowly flowed in the palace.

Empress Su was sitting on the brocade couch in a daze with a small red square quilt in her hand. This quilt was dug out from Ma Xingzhi's house, and Ma Xingzhi admitted that this quilt was used to wrap children back then.

The year she gave birth to Nalan Jinxuan happened to be a leap year. According to folklore, a child born in a leap year must be hugged with a red flowerless coarse cloth to ensure safety and auspiciousness.

The red cloth was almost in short supply that year.

Although she is a queen, she is also a mother, and she cannot be refined. Naturally, she also uses this red flowerless cloth to wrap the child.And it's the fabric I bought in person, so it's auspicious!

Everyone in the palace knew this.

But such a small quilt, almost all children born in that year have it.

The real keepsake is the jade pendant, which she personally brought to the child back then. The jade pendant is a unique heirloom of the Nalan family. It can be vaguely seen that Nalan's handwriting is engraved on it. Outsiders are imitating it. No, and there are only a few dollars in the world.

But now.But she was in a state of confusion, the Nalan Jinxuan who came with the jade pendant did not have the original mark on his wrist, could there be something else hidden about this matter?

Or that she misidentified her son?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but startled herself. At that time, the struggle between the Lizhang and Lizhang in the court became increasingly fierce.It was a headache for her and the emperor. At this moment, Hou Zhongyi found his long-lost son, which really made the two of them ecstatic. When they saw the jade pendant, they immediately believed that this young man was his long-lost son.I didn't think of the little spot on his wrist for a moment....

"Since the empress thinks this is suspicious, why don't you pass on the master Yao who is beside Lord Hou. Ask carefully, and the maid heard that he is in charge of investigating Ma Xingzhi!" Standing beside her, Mrs. Liu knew the Queen's Doubtful, suggested.

Liu Shi was Nalan Jinxuan's nanny back then, and she knew that the queen often shed tears over this matter for so many years...

"Quickly pass it on!" Empress Su sighed and said again. "Why do you feel that this room is a little stuffy!"

"Your Majesty, don't get excited. The Marquis of Zhongyi is cautious. You can't go wrong with such a big matter." Liu comforted, and as she spoke, she looked at the incense burner, went out, and followed the eunuch standing outside the hall. He ordered, "Take out the incense burner, it's hot now, just put some flowers, don't burn any more incense."

"Yes!" Several people rushed in and moved the incense burner out.

"Who is she?" Not far away, Yue Wushuang walked over, pointing at the woman standing at the gate of Ningkun Palace and asked.

"That's Mrs. Liu, the celebrity around the queen." said the maid beside her.

"Aunt Liu!" Yue Wushuang stepped forward and called out softly.

"My servant has seen the Crown Princess!" Mrs. Liu hastily stepped forward to salute.

"You don't have to be polite, aunt, I'm here to pay my respects!" Yue Wushuang smiled faintly.

"Your Majesty is feeling unwell, and she has already rested!" Mrs. Liu said calmly, "This servant will tell Your Majesty Ming that the Crown Princess has already arrived!"

"If that's the case, then don't bother me!" Yue Wushuang turned and walked out.

"You mean that Ma Xingzhi has been investigating a family in Dingyuan Town all these years?" Empress Su looked at the person standing respectfully in front of her and asked suspiciously.

"Yes!" Master Yao replied, "I went to Longtan Village to investigate a few months ago, and he was indeed upset with a family surnamed Xiao. At first, the family said that their children were indeed born to their husband and wife. But now there is news from Longtan Village that the third child of the Xiao family was picked up in a pine forest in Dingyuan Town. I don’t know if they are telling the truth!"

"Songlin?" Empress Su was taken aback, "Does Marquis Zhongyi know about this?"

"I don't know!" Master Yao shook his head, "It's the news that came out in the last few days. I don't know why the family suddenly changed their mouth and admitted that their third child, Xiao Chengyu, was picked up by Master Xiao!"

"How old is Xiao Chengyu this year?" Empress Su grabbed her lapel with both hands and asked, "Where is it now?"

"Reporting to Madam, Lord Xiao is the same year as His Highness, and is now in Bingzhou." Master Yao replied, with a trace of doubt flashing across his face.

"Bingzhou?" Empress Su murmured.

"In the past few days, I have been dreaming about Jin'er's appearance when she was a child." After Master Yao left, Empress Su smiled sadly at Mrs. Liu, "This matter is not trivial, and there is no room for carelessness. Maybe the token is unreliable!"

"Your Majesty." Mrs. Liu glanced at the little quilt she was laying on her lap, thought for a while, and then said, "Your Majesty, don't you remember? When we went to buy this fabric outside the palace, it was in a Yue family. Bought from the store that opened!"

"So what?" Empress Su said disapprovingly, "It's all the same fabric, after so many years, how can I tell anything!"

"Niang Niang, it's different." Liushi said, walked up to her and whispered in her ear, "If the fabric of Yueshi is soaked in water, the word Yueshi will appear on the edge."

"Then go and try it!" Empress Su's eyes lit up when she heard this, and hurriedly handed her the small quilt on her lap. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
