Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 356 What a face!
Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi didn't care about the behavior of the two children at all. They had already discovered that the two children especially hated books, especially the eldest, but the master who would tear up every time he read a book, didn't care about it. It's not that they don't like reading, but that these two children are exceptionally smart, and they can often remember the content of the book after listening to Baili Junyi read it once.

Although it is difficult to repeat it because of poor speech, and there is not much understanding, there is no doubt that the memory is excellent, and Baili Junyi is always bad-hearted and reads a book many times every time, torturing the two children thoroughly , which made them particularly loathe books.

Catch Zhou ended in a strange atmosphere, Shen Ninghua said: "Bai Ping, Qing Que, take the two children down."

Just as the two were about to step forward, they heard a high-pitched announcement from outside: "Prince De is here!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Prince De went to the northwest for disaster relief. He just came back from the booklet some time ago and said that the disaster relief has been successfully completed. The emperor was very happy and ordered him to return to the capital. According to the date, it should take five or six days to arrive. Why did you rush back today.

Just as he was thinking, Baili Jinchuan had arrived. He was dressed in pale blue uniform, wearing a jade crown, and his face was stern, with a dusty aura: "I have seen my father."

A dark color flashed in Baili Qingcang's eyes, as if a little surprised and a little worried: "Jin Chuan, why did you rush back today?"

"Father, I heard that today is the first birthday of the five emperor's two children. As the uncle of the two children, I have to come back to celebrate no matter what. I also specially brought a gift back to congratulate my little niece. And my little nephew is one year old."

"Hehe, you are extraordinarily caring."

"In Zhoucheng, the fifth younger brother helped my ministers a lot, and even punished the Zhou family. I found out such a big corruption case, and my ministers admired him very much. Besides, my nephew and niece are also very likable. , it’s worth it for me to come back overnight.”

It turned out to be rushing back overnight... Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, this is really showing face to Prince Yi, the dignified prince, even rushing back overnight to participate in the first birthday ceremony of the two children, tsk tsk!

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes, her eyes filled with coldness: Baili Jinchuan is really embarrassed to talk about two children!
Baili Qingcang's expression was so indifferent that no one could see his joy or anger: "What gift did you bring, why didn't you see you bring it up?"

Baili Jinchuan said respectfully: "The gift brought by my son is not convenient to get here. It is a foal born by two thousand-mile horses. It has a gentle temperament and extremely beautiful fur. The two children can play with them when they are older. gone."

Baili Qingcang twitched the corners of his lips, and the light in his eyes meant something unclear: "You, as an uncle, have a heart."

Baili Junyi apologized: "Thank you Erhuang brother for loving the two children so much."

"It should be." Baili Jinchuan said, his eyes fell on Shen Ninghua, and saw that she lowered her eyes slightly, not looking at him at all, the haze in her eyes suddenly darkened her eyes, "The two horses The parents of the little pony are both extraordinarily handsome horses. In order to prevent the two little pony from being uncomfortable when they come to Kyoto, I specially selected two servants who are good at raising horses and brought them here. The foals are well bred."

"Second Brother is really considerate."

"By the way, speaking of it, these two horse breeders are a couple. I heard that these two foals were given to you, fifth brother, so I am willing to come to the capital with them, saying that I want to thank you in person for your help. Where is the benefactor?"

Shen Ninghua raised her head, her eyebrows frowned: They saved tens of thousands of people, what does Baili Jinchuan mean by bringing two people here?
There was a cold smile in Baili Jinchuan's eyes: "Would Brother Wu Huang give these two a chance to thank you?"

Baili Junyi said: "What I do is what I should do, not to save a few people. Besides, I always do things under the orders of my father. If I want to say thank you, I should also thank my father. Here today With so many officials and guests, there is no need to let them come up in person, lest they bump into someone and it would be inappropriate."

Baili Jinchuan smiled apologetically: "It's just that I didn't think carefully, Father, do you think so?"

Baili Qingcang seems to be specifically against Baili Junyi today: "If you want to thank you personally, it means that the two of you are grateful. If that's the case, then let's call up and meet. Anyway, I'm free now."

"Yes, my son obeys the order." A smile flashed in his eyes, and Baili Jinchuan raised his voice, "Bring the horse breeder here."

Soon, two plainly dressed men and women were brought up, and everyone was dumbfounded when they saw it.

The middle-aged man was short and fat, his face was black and red, and his eye sockets were deep enough to see that he was a foreigner on the frontier, while the woman beside him was thin and graceful, with fair complexion. It's also a little haggard, but one can tell at a glance that she must have been a beauty when she was young. Can these two be husband and wife?Or a horse breeder?
"I have seen the emperor."

Baili Qingcang was also extremely curious: "Are you two husband and wife?"

It was the woman who answered: "Report to the emperor, we are indeed husband and wife." The man stayed aside silently, looking at the woman beside him with a smirk, as if he couldn't understand the words of the Central Plains.

The woman continued to explain: "The servant is from the Central Plains. Because of the war, he went to the border to avoid disaster. He almost died when he met the bandits. It was the husband of the servant who rescued the servant. Later, he was found to be a simple and honest man, and he did not dislike the origin of the slave. There are many disasters in the Northwest. Every time he never leaves his servants, so the two of us make do with each other."

Baili Qingcang looked at the woman carefully: "Avoid disaster? To avoid disaster, you need to go to the border?"

The woman's face turned pale: "The status of a slave is somewhat..."

"Is there something wrong with your background?" Baili Qingcang's eyes sharpened.

"I..." The woman raised her eyes and bit her lips slightly, as if she was extremely embarrassed, "My servant knows that the emperor is benevolent, so I simply don't want to hide it, my servant Qi Yuechan, her ancestor was Qi Rong, the former prime minister."

Baili Qingcang was surprised: "Are you a descendant of the Qi family? No, Qi Rong, the former prime minister, had a granddaughter, but she entered the imperial harem as a concubine and gave birth to offspring. She should have died long ago."

Qi Yuechan smiled miserably: "The servant survived by luck, and escaped from the harem with the child. Who knew that those pursuers would not let me go, and chased me all the way to Qiongzhou. I jumped into the river with the child in despair. , Maybe God is merciful, I am not dead, but my child is nowhere to be found, I have been looking for it, but the crowd is vast, where can I find a six or seven-year-old child, and then traveled to the border with a barbarian caravan , and there is no news of it.”

"Then why are you back now?"

Qi Yuechan knelt down to salute, her movements were extraordinarily respectful and thoughtful, and she could see that she had been well-educated: "This time there was a severe drought in the northwest, and the slaves and servants' homes were plundered by bandits. Thanks to His Royal Highness Yi County King, the city gate was opened to welcome the victims into the city. , and also caught the culprit who directed the gangsters to cause chaos, and I have saved the life of the slaves and servants, so I came here to express my gratitude."

"You are kind and righteous."

"Actually, Xie En is the first one, and the second servant also wants to try to find her daughter who has been lost for many years. The emperor is merciful, and since the day he ascended the throne, he has ordered the descendants of the survivors of the previous dynasty, so this servant has the courage to come back."

"Oh?" Baili Qingcang frowned when he heard Qi Yuechan's words, "You and your daughter have been separated for more than ten years, even if you rub shoulders face to face, you may not know each other."

Qi Yuechan pursed her lips slightly: "My daughter is the princess of the previous dynasty, ranked eleventh. At that time, she was young and hadn't had time to get a title, so she just tattooed the word 11 on her wrist. It's easy to find her."

Hearing this, Shen Ninghua's eyes trembled suddenly, and Bai Lu, who had not yet had time to go on, turned even paler.

There is a tattoo of the word 11 on Bai Lu's wrist!

Suddenly, a woman in the female family exclaimed in surprise: "Bai Ji, the maid beside Princess Zhaohua, seems to have such a tattoo on her wrist?"

Shen Ninghua turned her head abruptly, and the woman who spoke was so startled by her sharp eyes that she quickly covered her mouth: "Xing... maybe I was wrong."

Baili Qingcang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Bai Ping? Ning Hua, isn't that woman standing next to you Bai Ping?"

Before Shen Ninghua could speak, Bai Po knelt down with a plop: "Reporting to the emperor, my servant's name is Bai Po, and there happens to be a tattoo on her wrist, but this servant has her own parents. Although they passed away seven years ago, this servant has arrived Now remember them clearly."

"Xiu'er, you are Xiu'er..." Qi Yuechan walked up the hill on her knees, grabbed Bai Ping's wrist, looked at the tattoo on her wrist and cried with joy, "Xiu'er, I am your mother."

Bai Ping calmly withdrew his arm: "Madam, you really misunderstood the wrong person. The servant Bai Ping is not the Xiu'er you mentioned."

"No, no, you are my daughter! Xiu'er, your name is not Bai Lu, your real name is Duanmu Yuxiu, and you are the eleventh princess of the previous dynasty. How can you be a slave for others, you..."

"Madam Qi, you have indeed identified the wrong person."

"No, I won't admit it wrong. I have evidence. You see, the tattoo on your wrist is a little strange, and there are patterns on the edges. This pattern was given by the royal princess of the previous dynasty. Go investigate and find out It is." Qi Yuechan was extremely excited, "Your Majesty, this servant did not expect to meet her long-lost daughter here, please allow this servant to bring her back."

Baili Junyi looked at Shen Ninghua. These girls Baibo have been with Shen Ninghua for a long time. Although they are masters and servants, their relationship is as good as that of sisters, especially Baibo, who takes care of Shen Ninghua the most. Be careful, if she is taken away, I am afraid that Ninghua will be extremely reluctant.

Shen Ninghua's face was calm, but her heart was already turbulent. She knew that there was a time in the past, but she never said anything about it, so she didn't ask. She didn't expect her background to be so extraordinary.

There was a thin layer of sweat on Bai Ping's forehead, and deep hatred was suppressed in her eyes: she knew her past and remembered some things, and she recognized Qi Yuechan as her mother as soon as she appeared, but the truth was not. As she said, she was not lost, but sold by her mother herself for five taels of silver!What is she showing up now, to dig out the matter of the young lady from her own mouth so that she can sell it to the second prince?Don't think about it!
