After I was reborn, I became the queen mother by fortune telling

Chapter 241 Father and Daughter Reunion

As soon as they entered the door, the clerk of the inn warmly greeted them and asked them if they wanted to stay in the hotel and how many rooms they wanted.

"Our young master and wife are visiting the capital from other places. We plan to stay for a while and want the best room." Qiao Qi said.

"Yes! Yes! We are the best inn in the whole capital."

"Then let us go in and have a look. If the room is good, we will book it." Qiao Qi looked around.

The clerk was very enthusiastic: "Please come in, please feel free to look around. Our inn is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, and there is a big garden inside. All the guests who have stayed here have agreed. Even the envoys of the Ningqiu Kingdom live here now. .”

"Oh? Then what room do they live in?" Qiao Qi asked quickly.

"They live in the Tianzihao room. The Tianzihao has an east courtyard and a west courtyard. They live in the east courtyard, and a few of them can live in the west courtyard if they like."

When the man saw that the business was coming, he led Jiang Yu and the others to the Tianzihao room.

Jiang Yu had been to this courtyard before, and it was the place where he and Yin Yan sat drinking tea and chatting.

The yard was quiet, as if there was no one there.

The little girl Meimei seemed to remember something, and told Yang Ruojia who was leading her, "Sister, my father and I live here."

Only then did the guy notice the little girl they were leading, and he couldn't help but turn pale with shock: "A while ago, the envoy of Ningqiu State told the boss that the daughter of a distant relative who went to Beijing with him was lost. It’s too far away to take a look, isn’t it this young lady?”

Mu Qingyuan and Jiang Yu looked at each other, and at the same time thought of an almost impossible thing.

Jiang Yu then asked: "This is the little begging girl we met on the road. She is about to take her to find a suitable family for adoption. It would be best if she finds her biological father. So is that distant relative still there?"

"Yes! Why not? He lives in seclusion every day, and he is rarely seen going out of the room. I didn't see him go out with that Mr. Yin today. He should still be in the room."

The clerk also felt that he should go to himself to confirm this matter, so he led Jiang Yu and the others to the door of a room on the second floor, and knocked on the door: "Guest officer, are you in the room?"

After a while, a middle-aged man's voice came from the room: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"The little one is a buddy, I need you for something, please open the door, please."

"coming."

The door of the room opened with a "squeak", revealing a wrinkled face of a middle-aged man with half black and half white hair.

Although it had been a long time, Jiang Yu still vaguely recognized the young man who was rescued from the outline of the middle-aged man.

She turned her head to look at Yang Ruojia, who nodded at her almost imperceptibly.

On the contrary, Mu Qingyuan didn't know the eldest prince.

He hadn't entered the palace when the eldest prince went to Ningqiu country as a hostage, and he hasn't seen him since.

Jiang Yu approached Mu Qingyuan, and pulled his little finger, indicating that he had recognized this person as the First Prince.

The little girl Meimei had already rushed over and threw herself into the arms of the middle-aged man.

"Daddy Daddy!"

The middle-aged man squatted down suspiciously, carefully identifying the little girl's face: "Mei Mei? You are really Mei Mei!"

Suddenly, his face was covered with tears, and he hugged the little girl tightly.

After a long time, he straightened up and said to Jiang Yu and the others: "You guys brought the little girl back, right? Thank you very much! If she gets lost in the capital, I don't know how to explain to my wife and her brother in my hometown."

He thought about it, and felt that it was unreasonable not to invite his benefactor in for a cup of tea, so he stepped in and said, "Come in for a cup of tea, please."

Jiang Yu went in and saw that the room was quite spacious. On the table was a little girl's favorite flower drum, which should have been played by the eldest prince when he missed his daughter.

"My surname is Xia, Xia Chunqiu, this is the little girl Xia Mei."

"To tell you the truth, I'm from Ningqiu country. Because I have some distant relatives with the envoy, I want to go sightseeing in Beijing with me, and see if I can do some business by the way."

"Who knew that the little girl was naughty, and I never came back after I went out. These days... Alas, fortunately, all the benefactors sent the little girl back."

The eldest prince, whose alias is Xia Chunqiu, said that he was about to kneel down and thank him.

Mu Qingyuan stepped forward to help her up: "You don't need to be too polite, there are always various difficulties when you go out, but fortunately Ling Aiji has her own aura."

Xia Chunqiu poured him and Jiang Yu a cup of tea and invited them to drink tea.

"This is Ningqiu's special tea. It is very fragrant. Please don't be too polite and taste it a lot. I will give you a generous gift later."

Seeing Qiao Qi and Yang Ruojia playing with Xia Mei, Mu Qingyuan said, "Mr. Xia's accent doesn't quite resemble Ningqiu's accent, but it looks more like Ling Ai's."

Xia Chunqiu was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "Young Master Qin, I don't know. My parents are from the capital. Because of their business relationship, they lived in Ningqiu country all the year round. After my parents passed away, I settled down in Ningqiu country. My wife is from Ningqiu country, so my daughter's accent is more like the accent in Ningqiu area, but I have always carried the accent of my hometown."

After all, Xia Chunqiu sighed softly.

"Mr. Xia never thought that Ye Luo would return to his roots, return to the Great Xia Kingdom, and return to the capital?" Mu Qingyuan asked after taking a sip of tea.

Xia Chunqiu shook his head: "If I go back ten or twenty years, I really think about it. But now I have taken root in Ningqiu country, there are family and relatives there, here..."

"Are there no relatives in the capital?"

A strange light flashed in Xia Chunqiu's eyes, but he shook his head and said: "There is no more. Even if there is, it is a distant relative. Oh, by the way, the ambassador is a distant relative of my wife, so I entrust his blessing , come to Beijing together. Today he has something to go out, otherwise I can introduce you to the two of you."

He stood up, walked to the side cabinet, opened a drawer, and took out a wooden box.

"I'm in the jewelry business. I brought this from Ningqiu country. Let's give it to you two as a thank you gift. Don't refuse it, or I won't feel at ease."

With that said, he opened the box.

Inside is a pair of crystal clear jade bracelets.

Ningqiu country has always been rich in emeralds and jade, so what Yin Yan said about doing jewelry business was half true and half false.

Maybe, the eldest prince who is aliased as Xia Chunqiu is in the jewelry business in Ningqiu country.

This pair of bracelets is emerald green all over, and the water head is excellent, so they should be a pair of treasures.

"We didn't send Ling Ai back to thank you, Mr. Xia, please take it back." Mu Qingyuan rejected the gift.

"This...how can I feel bad about this!"

"As long as Mr. Xia raises Ling Ai well in the future, Ling Ai grows up well, and never leaves her parents' side again, that is the reward for our little effort today."

These words made Xia Chunqiu a little dazed, he looked at his daughter who was playing with Yang Ruojia, his eyes were red again.

Mu Qingyuan was worried that Yin Yan would go back to Debao Inn, so he stood up and said goodbye.

"Why don't you two live in the West Courtyard here? It's very clean here, and there's someone to take care of you." Xia Chunqiu warmly suggested.
