"Two days ago, your father brought back a girl from outside. The child was found in Zhoujiacun."
Mrs. Su's voice paused, "The child is four years old this year."
Concubine Su frowned slightly, "Zhoujiacun?"
Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she stood up suddenly, not even bothering to wipe the tea spilled on her body, and her tone was slightly trembling.
"Zhoujia Village is..."
"Yes, it's the lower reaches of that stream."
There are several villages downstream of that stream, and Zhoujia Village is one of them.
Over the past few years, they have been searching the area for clues.
"Girl, four years old."
Calculating the time, it just matches the child Su Guifei had back then.
Concubine Su stared closely into Mrs. Su's eyes, couldn't help but hold her hand tightly, and asked in a trembling voice: "Could this child... be..."
Mrs. Su thought of the child's appearance and couldn't help but nodded.
"Mom! Why did you tell me such an important thing now?"
Concubine Su couldn't sit still for a moment, stood up and walked out.
"Where is the child? I want to see her now..."
For many years, she had given up hope and believed that her daughter was dead.
Unexpectedly, she was suddenly told that her daughter might still be alive.
How could Concubine Su not be excited about this.
She couldn't calm down for a moment now.
I just want to see the child quickly to confirm the authenticity.
If it's true...
Concubine Su was so excited that her breathing became disordered.
Then she must take that child close to her, and will not let her daughter live outside and suffer.
Concubine Su could not sit still for a moment and quickly sent someone to ask the emperor for instructions.
The concubine was not allowed to leave the palace at will, and the emperor's permission was required if she wanted to go home to visit relatives.
Logically speaking, it was against the rules, but who allowed Concubine Su to dominate the harem? Her father was a general who held military power.
Tyrants usually agree to such trivial matters.
*
General's Mansion.
As soon as Concubine Su returned home, she went straight to the main hall.
In the main hall, everyone from the Su family was basically gathered together.
"See the Imperial Concubine."
General Weiyuan led the family members to salute.
"Father, there is no need to be polite."
Concubine Su's eyes had already been attracted by the girl hiding behind.
The child looked very thin, with his head lowered, looking timid.
She probably sensed someone was looking at her.
The girl carefully raised her head and looked towards her.
She has a small oval face and slightly upturned fox eyes, and her eyebrows are somewhat similar to Concubine Su.
After seeing the child's appearance clearly, Concubine Su's mind went blank.
She forgot her words for a moment, staring at the girl with her eyes fixed on her, her mind fluctuating.
"Father, this...this child..."
Concubine Su's eyes turned red instantly, but she didn't dare to recognize him for a moment and could only look at General Weiyuan.
There was a hint of hope in his eyes, but also a hint of disbelief.
"Is this, my child?"
General Weiyuan had a solemn face, nodded, and said solemnly: "We are inseparable."
"If the noble concubine doesn't believe it, she can test it with blood, and she will know whether it is true or false."
Concubine Su had already lost her composure. She immediately turned around after hearing this, "Okay, okay..."
She was anxious and couldn't wait to know the result.
At this moment, Concubine Su was completely immersed in shock and the surprise of being lost and found.
Without noticing at all, a strange color flashed across General Weiyuan's eyes.
The girl seemed a little scared and looked at General Weiyuan timidly.
General Weiyuan nodded to her calmly.
…
Qianlong Palace.
Mu Han is painting.
Nuobao sat aside obediently, holding her face with her two little hands, pretending to be a bright and blooming flower.
"Dad, are you okay?"
Half an hour later, Nuobao couldn't sit still anymore and twisted his body unbearably.
It's like there are thorns under my butt.
"Okay." Mu Han made the last stroke.
Nuobao immediately ran over and shouted impatiently: "Let me take a look."
No one knows that the tyrant's hands are not only good at dancing and using a sword, but are also good at ink painting.
It’s just that he had never painted a portrait before.
This is the first time.
The painting is Nuobao.
In the painting, a three-year-old girl sits obediently, with a pair of bright, big eyes that are lively and expressive.
"Wow!"
Nuobao couldn't help but marvel, his eyes sparkling.
"Daddy is so annoying."
The little guy seemed to like it very much and put the painting away with great care.
"Dad, have you given this painting to Nuobao?"
Nuobao confirmed again and again, and after receiving Mu Han's nod, he immediately put the painting away happily.
The cautious look on the painting seemed to be afraid that the painting would be wrinkled.
"It's just a painting, look at your worthless look."
Mu Han said casually, but his thin lips slowly curved.
"If you like it, I'll draw it for you next time."
"Dad, Nuo Bao will also draw you a picture." Nuo Bao excitedly sat Mu Han down on the chair.
"Daddy, don't move, please don't move..."
The little guy warned worriedly.
"Yeah." The tyrant couldn't help but sit upright.
Nuobao held the brush in his little hand. After painting for a while, he raised his head and glanced at Mu Han.
Her young face was full of seriousness.
The queen sat aside and watched this scene with a smile.
Although Nuobao is now being raised by the queen,
But in fact, I still stay in Qianlong Palace every day.
There is no way, who would let a certain tyrant go over to steal the cubs in the middle of the night regardless of his identity.
In order to see Nuobao every day, the queen had to come to Qianlong Palace.
"Okay."
Mu Han originally thought that Nuobao would have to sit here for a whole day to complete her painting.
Unexpectedly, Nuobao happily put down his pen after an hour.
"Dad, I've finished the painting."
The tyrant raised his eyebrows, so quickly?
He wanted to see what this brat had done to him.
The queen was close, and after taking a look at Nuobao's paintings, she couldn't help covering her mouth with a handkerchief and laughing.
When Mu Han saw this, his eyebrows suddenly beat.
Although he did not have any expectations for Nuobao's paintings, but...
"Are you sure this painting is of me?"
After seeing the painting clearly, Mu Han's mouth twitched.
I can't say they are exactly the same, I can only say they are completely unrelated.
He tilted his head slightly, as if it was difficult to look straight.
"Yes!" Nuobao nodded seriously.
She was drawn after her father's appearance.
"Dad, how is Nuobao's painting?"
The little guy looked at him expectantly.
Mu Han:......
He really couldn't boast about it without conscience.
Although it has a nose and eyes, the strange-shaped things in this painting don't look like human beings.
The tyrant firmly refused to admit that the painting was of him.
Could it be that in Nuobao's mind, he looked like this?
Not even a human being! !
"Daddy?"
After not getting the answer he wanted for a long time, Nuobao tilted his head and looked at him with confusion.
Mu Han: "...Not bad, the drawing is very good. Don't draw it next time."
Nuobao naturally heard the disgust in his father's tone.
He suddenly puffed up his face angrily, before he could even condemn this stinky father.
I saw Eunuch De walking in quickly, with a very strange look on his face.
"Your Majesty, the noble concubine asked to see you and said..."
Eunuch De paused and couldn't help but glance at Nuobao.
That look seemed a little strange.
Nuobao didn't have time to think about it carefully.
I heard Eunuch De continue to say: "You said you found the missing daughter of the imperial concubine?"
"Found it?" The tyrant paused while sipping the tea and couldn't help but raise his eyes.
"This..." Even the queen couldn't help but look surprised and turned to look at Mu Han.
"Your Majesty, isn't that child already..."
The queen didn't finish her words.
Mu Han chuckled softly, unable to distinguish between happiness and anger.
"Where did she find it?"
According to what the midwife said back then, the child turned into a white light and disappeared.
Mu Han guessed that the child was no longer alive.
Although I don’t know whether the child is a god or a ghost.
Or maybe it has something to do with Nuobao...
But what is certain is that the child has disappeared.
Now Concubine Su said that she found her daughter?
Where did she find it?
Did you fish it out from the river?
The tyrant's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips curved into a playful smile.
"That's interesting."
