Xiao Mianmian took Du Wanchun's hand and interjected: "Mother, will we come back in the future?"
Du Wanchun smiled and said: "Of course I will come back."
Xiao Mianmian looked confused and asked: "Why?"
Du Wanchun raised his head and looked into the distance and said, "Because this is also your home?"
Xiao Mianmian's eyes were filled with stars as she listened.
Mrs. Wei thought she was talking about the Zhou Mansion in the capital, and responded with a smile: "From now on, you will all move here, and you can study together with your brothers and sisters."
Xiao Mianmian clapped her hands excitedly, "That's great." ?.?????.ℂ??
In addition to her two brothers, Xiao Mianmian is relatively close to the two children of the Wei family and Xiao Qing'er.
Now Xiao Qing'er has returned to Beidi, and the Wei children are also returning to the capital.
She would really be bored
Du Wanchun rubbed Xiao Mianmian's head, "In the future, when you grow up, they will all come back."
Xiao Mianmian was still young and didn't know what her mother meant, but more than ten years later, when she saw Xiao Qing'er again, she understood instantly.
At the same time, inside the palace.
The seventh prince accepted the emperor's commission and began to search for traces of the queen and the three brothers.
Because he could no longer remember the appearance of the four of them, he specially asked the painter to find a past portrait of the Queen.
He took a closer look and found that the Empress and the shopkeeper Du he met that day were somewhat similar, but where they were similar, he couldn't tell for a while.
After the seventh prince saw the portrait of the empress, he asked the eunuch next to the emperor for the picture of children that the artist had painted last time.
There are three children in the picture, the older one is his eldest brother, His Highness the Crown Prince.
The two younger ones are his second brother and third brother.
The Seventh Prince looked at the child in the painting, and for some reason, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt.
He held the portrait in his hands and looked at it carefully at the light outside the window.
At this time, a young eunuch came behind him.
The little eunuch put down the tea cup in his hand, looked up and saw the portrait in the hands of the seventh prince. He raised his brows, pointed at the portrait and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, we have seen the person in this painting before!"
The seventh prince turned back to look at him, "You are talking nonsense. When my brothers were young, you had not yet entered the palace."
The little eunuch stammered: "No, not before, but a few days ago."
The seventh prince frowned, "You are talking nonsense again. This is obviously a portrait of my eldest and second brother when they were young. When did it become a few days ago?"
The little eunuch's face turned red with anxiety, "Your Highness, no, Your Highness."
The seventh prince took the painting and turned around and entered the room, "I know you are anxious and afraid that I won't be able to find the person, but you can't talk nonsense."
The little eunuch was even more anxious now. He gritted his teeth and said everything he wanted to say in one breath, "No, Your Highness, they are the three children I saw watching the fireworks in the restaurant a few days ago. They are the same as those in the portrait. The people are very similar."
The seventh prince paused for a moment, looked at the portrait in his hand, frowned and said, "You said you were not lying. The three children that day were all girls, but the three children in this portrait are all boys."
The little eunuch thought for a while, then quickly took out the paper and pen from the table, drew the hairstyle of the female doll, then cut it off and placed it on the head of the male doll in the portrait, "Your Highness, look at it like this."
The seventh prince looked carefully and found that the child in the portrait looked exactly like the female doll he saw that day.
While looking at it, he said: "The smaller girl doll doesn't look much like it, but the big one looks exactly like His Highness."
The seventh prince took a closer look and found that it was true.
He had not been a smart person since he was a child, but at this moment he seemed to have an enlightenment and suddenly understood.
"Is it possible that the three children we saw that day were actually the children of my eldest brother and second brother?"
The little eunuch nodded, "Maybe it's true. People say my daughter looks like her father."
The seventh prince immediately put down the portrait and ordered to the young eunuch: "Quick, get me a horse, I'll go to the Zhou family!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
The little eunuch hurriedly prepared his horse.
The Seventh Prince arrived at the Zhou Mansion in a carriage. As soon as Shopkeeper Bo was about to enter, he called him, "Wait a minute, is Mrs. Du in the house?"
Shopkeeper Bo turned around, saluted him, and replied: "Shopkeeper Du has left the capital."
"Leaved the capital?" The seventh prince was surprised, "Where did they go?"
Seeing his panic, shopkeeper Bo was filled with doubts and didn't reply for a long time.
The seventh prince was impatient with waiting, "Quickly tell me, where have they gone?"
At this time, Shopkeeper Bo couldn't speak. The little eunuch behind him came over and said, "Your Highness, I remember that Shopkeeper Du is from Cheng'an County. She should have gone to Cheng'an County."
After hearing this, the Seventh Prince immediately got into the carriage again, "Hurry! They shouldn't have gone far yet, let's go and chase them!"
