No matter what happens in the future, at least they are getting together now.
On this New Year's Eve, the General's Mansion was extremely lively.
They finally spent this new year together as a family, and everyone felt a little emotional.
After the New Year, the adults of the Zhu family began to figure out how to keep Zhu Ruiying under Concubine Shu's lap. After much thinking, the old lady had to come forward to take action on this matter.
Zhu Ruiying watched everyone make plans for herself, and she had already figured out how to smash their plans.
【Want to send me away? Huh, no way. 】
Maybe she's a little rebellious at heart?
In short, she doesn't like others to control her life unless necessary.
Mrs. Xu and the old lady glanced at Zhu Ruiying casually.
Huh, it's not up to you.
If possible, Zhu Jiahuan, Zhu Jiasheng and the others would also like to send him away. Their future is no joke.
But these two children are not like Xiao Ruiying, who is a little baby who can fall when walking. They are already very independent. There are some things that cannot be decided by adults.
In the early warm season, the old lady brought Zhu Ruiying into the palace. This was her first time entering the palace after the New Year.
When entering the palace this time, Zhu Ruiying went with the mentality of causing trouble.
The old lady has been dealing with people all her life and has some understanding of Concubine Shu's temperament, so she naturally knows how to speak to please Concubine Shu.
"I had a really good chat with the old lady today. If the old lady is not busy in the future, she will often come to the palace to teach me some valuable knowledge and life experience. I feel that I will definitely use what the old lady said in the future. "
"I really don't dare to teach you the empress, but I feel an indescribable feeling of intimacy when I see your empress. Talking to your empress is a kind of enjoyment."
The first few times Zhu Ruiying entered the palace, she was accompanied by Zhu's family. Later, after the old lady thought about it, in order to avoid suspicion, it was Concubine Shu's people who brought Zhu Ruiying into the palace. When the time came, she sent Zhu Ruiying back, and Zhu's family would not go.
Concubine Shu can also understand this, but now that the Zhu family's soldiers have returned triumphant, there should be less worries in this regard.
Zhu Ruiying ran over, took Concubine Shu's hand and shook it.
"Your Majesty, go play in the Royal Garden."
Old lady: "Ruiying..."
Concubine Shu chuckled and squeezed Zhu Ruiying's hand, with an indulgent tone in her voice: "Ruiying wants to go to the Royal Garden? Can I talk to your grandmother for a while and ask Sister Qin'er to take you there?"
Zhu Ruiying nodded obediently: "Okay."
Concubine Shu looked at Xie Yuan who was not far away and asked, "Yuan'er, do you want to go out and play for a while?"
The person who answered her was that Xie Yuan turned his head and lowered his head as he solved the Nine Chains without being affected.
He didn't want to hang out with bad people.
Concubine Shu sighed slightly and gave Qin'er a look.
Qin'er understood and led several palace maids and Zhu Ruiying to the Imperial Garden.
After they left, Concubine Shu looked at the old lady and said, "Don't worry, old lady. I like Ruiying very much."
The old lady smiled and said: "It is also a blessing for Ruiying to win the favor of the empress."
"I asked the Heavenly Master the day before yesterday to wish the general a great victory and that Ruiying's disaster star destiny has been solved."
The old lady pretended to be relaxed: "In this way, our whole family can rest assured."
Although the old lady said this, the worry on her face never went away.
"What is bothering the old lady in her heart?"
Old Madam: "I'll tell you the truth, I do have something on my mind, but I'm just worried about Rui Ying."
"Rui Ying?" Concubine Shu lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "If there is anything I can help with, my old lady can just say it."
"Then, I will say a few more words to bother you."
Concubine Shu nodded slightly and waited quietly for her next words.
The old lady sighed first, and then said slowly: "I know that my granddaughter Ruiying is not very good at life. When she was born, she was destined to be a disaster star. Fortunately, the emperor Bless our Zhu family and save Ruiying a small life. She is still alive today, but..."
"The old lady said it's okay, but what happened to Ruiying?"
"Hey, I have been having the same dream since the past few days. In the dream, the ancestors of the Zhu family have been warning me that the life of the youngest daughter in the family is in trouble, and the Yinze of the Zhu family cannot protect me. If I stay here for a long time, Zhu Jia, there will be difficulties in life and death."
"this……"
Concubine Shu frowned slightly, obviously following the old lady's train of thought.
The old lady knew that Concubine Shu believed in this, so she said this.
Just as Concubine Shu was about to say something, Qin'er ran in in a panic while shouting.
Qing'er: "What happened?"
There was a thin layer of sweat on Qin'er's forehead, and her face was filled with anxiety: "Mother, Miss Ruiying is missing!"
As soon as these words came out, the old lady and Concubine Shu stood up.
Concubine Shu: "What did you say?"
Half an hour ago, Qin'er took Zhu Ruiying to the Royal Garden. Before they got there, the child started running around happily.
Qin'er and the other maids are not very worried about her. This child has always been very obedient. Although she is a little excited now, she must know the right measures, and they will also be optimistic about her, as long as they ensure that she is not hurt.
But after a while, it was obvious that something was wrong. Miss Zhu Sun started to run, and then ran faster and faster, so fast that they couldn't keep up. They could only shout from behind to slow down, but Zhu Ruiying It was as if she didn't hear him, and in just a moment, she actually disappeared.
"A child, how fast can she run? Why didn't you keep up?"
Qin'er lowered her head and allowed Concubine Shu to scold her. She was also very confused. A three-year-old child's calves were not very high, but how could he fly so fast!
When they were thrown behind, they were all in their own places, staring at the direction in which Zhu Ruiying disappeared for a long time before remembering to go back and forth to Shuyang Palace.
Really, it’s really hard for people to believe it and it’s very embarrassing to tell someone about missing a three-year-old child.
What's more important is that this is Miss Sun from the General's family!
What if something happens because of their mistakes?
Don't say anything else, they all have a lot of brains.
Concubine Shu looked at them all with their heads drooped, and became a little anxious: "What are you doing here? Go and look for me! I will look for everyone in Shuyang Palace. You must find Ruiying!"
"yes."
"Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely bring Ruiying back safely."
The old lady struggled to laugh, her heart sinking.
She was worried, but she was not worried that something would happen to the child. According to what the palace maid said about the scene at that time, the child had clearly abandoned others and ran out.
Her granddaughter is different from ordinary children. What she is worried about is that she is afraid that something will happen to Ruiying.
"What's going on? Why is my concubine so anxious?"
When the emperor just came over, he saw a group of palace ladies and eunuchs running around in a hurry and not knowing what to do. They seemed to be people from Shuyang Palace. Sure enough, the first thing he saw when he came in was Concubine Shu's anxious eyebrows.
"My wife is here to see the Emperor."
"Get flat."
Concubine Shu held the emperor's hand and subconsciously asked for help: "Your Majesty, Ruiying is missing."
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
Concubine Shu lowered her eyes and said with self-blame in her tone: "My concubine's people are useless, so I asked them to take her to the imperial garden to play for a while, but unexpectedly she lost her. How can this be good?"
The emperor said to Eunuch Li behind him: "Go, send more people, and we must find Ruiying within an hour."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"I wish you don't be anxious, madam. I promise, Ruiying will come back safely."
The old lady nodded slightly, but probably only she knew what she was worried about.
About half an hour later, someone finally came over with news.
"Back to the emperor, I saw Miss Ruiying and went..."
In Shuyang Hall, a group of people headed to Lingxiao Hall, each with a different mood.
Concubine Shu and the emperor were thinking the same thing. What was this child doing there?
Concubine Shu thought a little more, which was similar to Qin'er beside her.
They were all thinking about Lingxiao Palace, how on earth did she get there at such a long distance.
After a while, the sedan arrived at the Lingxiao Hall. The emperor helped Concubine Shu down, and several people entered the Lingxiao Hall. As soon as they entered, the first thing that caught their eyes was Zhu Ruiying on her tiptoes, reaching for the luminous pearl in front of the dragon chair.
"Snapped!"
The night pearl fell.
The eyes of several people moved along the luminous pearl, and they only saw it rolled over a few times. There were some slight cracks, and it was shining brightly upwards, catching everyone's eyes.
Everyone: "..."
After Zhu Ruiying finished doing this, he saw the ugly expressions of everyone not far away from the corner of his eye, and suddenly felt that he was very powerful. His somewhat depressed mood in the past two days suddenly improved a lot.
Zhu Ruiying turned around and faced them, showing a cute and sweet smile. She was so happy that her face had dimples when she smiled.
Zhu Ruiying clapped her hands and jumped up and down: "Your Majesty is here to pick me up, it's fun!"
Concubine Shu: "..."
At this time, Concubine Shu and the old lady both looked at the Emperor anxiously.
Two hours later, the old lady returned to the general's mansion with her little ancestor who had played so much.
"What did you say? Ruiying went to Lingxiao Palace!"
As expected, this news made the entire General's Mansion sit still.
The old lady took a sip of tea with a sad face: "Yes, not only that, but she also knocked a luminous pearl in front of the emperor's throne to the ground."
Zhu Xinghong's eyes widened even more: "What? How about that?"
"Broken."
Zhu Xinghong: "..."
Zhu Xinghong almost couldn't breathe. Is this what he asked?
Zhu Yingbo: "The fact that mother and Ruiying came back safely proves that the emperor is not to blame. Mother, what was the emperor's attitude at that time?"
"The emperor only said one sentence..."
The emperor said, this woman is very naughty.
"The emperor sees that the Zhu family has done a good job in protecting the country and does not blame her. However, judging from today's events, Ruiying may not be able to be raised in the lap of Concubine Shu."
