Xiao Rui was thinking hard along the way, passing on the national jade seal? You have lost something for more than ten years. Where can I find it for you? If it is in the hands of my aunt, can Jieli get it? Even if Jie Li is ignorant, there were Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong before. Who doesn’t want to prove themselves by passing on the national jade seal?
This is enough to show that the baby is not in the hands of the aunt, and she has not seen it along the way! That was in Yangzhou. Emperor Daye must have taken Yuxi with him when he was sailing to Yangzhou. In the end, he died in Yangzhou...
That's not right. Since all the rebel kings have dug up the ground in Yangzhou and turned it over and over, but they still can't find it, it means it's not in Yangzhou either. Maybe after the Tang Dynasty occupied Yangzhou, it also turned over it.
If it's not in the hands of my aunt, and it's not in Yangzhou, where will it be?
Most likely, someone took advantage of the chaos and hid her... It's over, now it's really like finding a needle in a haystack.
As a last resort, Xiao Rui could only think of a wild way. Between searching for people and finding things, he chose Xun Gua! Ask the living god Yuan Tiangang for a divination. So I turned around and went to Laojun Temple.
An hour later, Xiao Rui went home dejectedly. Looking at Yuan Laodao who sent him out politely, Xiao Rui had no chance to curse anyone.
Too cowardly? I just want you to help me find something. If you don’t want to help, don’t do it. Just say so. Are you telling me that the cause and effect is too heavy, that the law of heaven will bite you back, and that you will burp before you even tell the result? I believe you are evil. If this is the case, then there will be no fortune tellers in the world. They charge money to tell fortunes, and they all sell their longevity in exchange for money. It is better to just sell blood, which is still sustainable development.
Feeling depressed, Xiao Rui returned to Xiaojiazhuang, where his family had already finished dinner.
"Dalang is back. Why have you been gone for so long? Have you eaten?" Mother asked with concern.
Xiao Yu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "When you go to His Majesty's place, can you ignore the food? If you don't care about other people's things, you won't ignore his."
Xiao Rui was unable to complain and had no intention of eating. He complained: "Mom and dad, what do you care about the food? I was asked to collect debts. Forget it, I don't have the heart to eat. Is Auntie asleep?"
"How can that be done? You can't do it without eating. Mom will ask someone to cook it for you."
"No need, mother, I have no appetite."
Xiao Yu seemed to have guessed something, pointing to the back house and said: "Your aunt has just returned to her room. She must not have slept. Go and ask."
Looking at her son's back, Mrs. Xiao worriedly said: "Husband, Your Majesty has given me some errands for Da Lang. No matter how busy you are, you can't skip eating."
Xiao Yu sighed: "My sister is the queen of the former dynasty. If you want to stay and take care of her in peace, you can't do it according to the etiquette system. Although I am the prime minister, I can't see enough. I can only see whether Rui'er has enough face."
Mrs. Xiao rolled her eyes, "Old thing, you went into battle to offend His Majesty, but you backed down and asked your son to stand up for you. Are you ashamed? Now your son can't even eat, and you are still here watching. Come with me. "
"What to do? How do I know what happened?" Xiao Yu was confused.
"The servants have all gone to rest. I will cook for my son myself. You come over and light the fire. I will bring it to my son when it is ready."
Xiao Yu said with a straight face: "That's ridiculous! You're not afraid of ruining your son's life when I serve him food? Even if I serve it, will he dare to eat it? Xiao Yu feels that this time his son came back and became a champion, his family His status has been reduced by one, and the whole family has to pamper him and give in to him."
Mrs. Xiao changed her words and said: "Then you come here to help. After Rui'er finishes talking to his aunt, we will ask him to come for dinner."
Xiao Yu didn't object this time, and the old couple walked into the kitchen hand in hand, asking the two noble prime ministers and their wives to cook together. At most, they could only cook a bowl of porridge. Doing anything else would be embarrassing for them.
Why don't you wake up the servants? Are you feeling sorry for the servant?
No, Mrs. Xiao knew in her heart that her son couldn't eat it. No matter how delicious the servants cooked it, he still couldn't eat it. Only by cooking by himself and coercing his son with filial piety can Xiao Rui eat a few mouthfuls of cushion.
"Aunt, have you gone to bed?"
"It's Rui'er, no, come in." Queen Xiao liked this nephew very much and had hugged him since she was a child, so she didn't shy away from anything. She opened the door and let Xiao Rui in in her pajamas.
According to the rules of the Xiao Family Village, those who can be independent do not need maids or maids, only housekeepers, grooms, and cooks. No other servants are needed. They have to eat and wash themselves. Empress Xiao has never seen her in these years. Regarding this, It’s not that I’m not used to it, so I’m the only one in the house without a personal maid.
Currently, there are only two people who use personal maids, namely Li Shengnan and Wei Yanran, who are pregnant and raising a fetus. Each person has four maids and women to take care of them, for fear that something will go wrong.
"I'm really sorry for bothering my aunt so late."
"You kid, why are you so polite to your aunt? Tell me, what does the emperor want to do with you today? If it embarrasses you, then you tell your aunt. After all, I am also the empress of the Sui Dynasty. Since the Li family has won the country, as long as they are not afraid of being If you're laughing at her, you don't dare to do anything to me." Under the dim light, her majestic and slightly domineering face was reflected, very much like the great emperor of the previous dynasty.
Xiao Rui felt ashamed and dared not look directly. He hesitated for a moment, but decided to say directly, "Aunt, the emperor agrees that you and Zhengdao will stay here and grant you freedom, but there is one condition."
"What conditions?"
"Pass the country's jade seal!"
Empress Xiao suddenly stood up alertly, but soon realized that she had lost her composure. She sat down slowly and sneered: "That thing has been lost for more than ten years. Everyone is scrambling for it and wants to prove that they are destined by heaven. Since Shou Yongchang. What a pity, maybe God has a vision and has taken back the authority given by God. None of them are inheritors of the national destiny, they are all rebellious officials and traitors! Therefore, no one knows where they are."
"Rui'er, this is clearly the emperor who is deliberately making things difficult for you. Well, since he wants to bully our grandparents and grandchildren, who are orphans and widowed mothers, then let him go. I will go meet him in an official capacity tomorrow."
Under normal circumstances, Xiao Rui should be moved by his aunt's reaction, but he was stunned and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Xiao Rui came back to his senses, stared at Queen Xiao and asked seriously: "Aunt, tell me the truth, where is the imperial seal?"
Queen Xiao's face was full of innocence and confusion, "Rui'er, what are you talking about? I have been wandering alone for more than ten years, how do I know where that thing is? If I knew, do you think Yu Wenhua and that old thief would have Do you want me to leave Yangzhou safely?"
Xiao Rui didn't believe it, "Aunt, you don't have to carry the hidden things with you. Maybe you gave them to others and took them elsewhere to hide them. In the whole world, you are probably the last person who has come into contact with the national jade seal. So nephew I have come to ask you for advice."
Seeing Xiao Rui's unyielding eyes and tone, Queen Xiao became angry, her face fell, and she said in a cold tone: "Asking for advice? Is this the way to ask for advice? You are my closest relative's nephew, and I was in the delivery room the day I gave birth to you. See you born!"
