"I have found your father."
"Really?!"
Yin Xiaorou was surprised.
She quickly pulled Xiao Chongjing's sleeves, with an anxious and nervous expression on her face, and asked expectantly: "Brother Xiao, are you kidding me? Have you really found him? Who is he? What did he say? Why doesn't he come? see me?"
"he……"
Xiao Chongjing was a little embarrassed.
He patted Yin Xiaorou on the shoulder and waited until she calmed down before explaining in a low voice, "This matter is a bit difficult to handle. You really don't know who your father is?"
Yin Xiaorou was stunned and shook her head, "My mother only said that daddy doesn't want her anymore and we are not allowed to mention him."
"He...what did he say?" Yin Xiaorou seemed to have noticed something, her eyes were red, and she looked at Xiao Chongjing helplessly, "Did he really refuse to have us as my mother said? So My mother and I have never changed residences in many years, so why doesn’t daddy come back to find us?”
"No, he has his own difficulties." Xiao Chongjing quickly explained, "It's not that your father doesn't want you, it's because he's too busy and has a special status, so he can't see you..."
"Brother Xiao, you are comforting me again."
Yin Xiaorou lowered her head with a bitter smile, and like a white lotus that bloomed just right, it quickly withered in front of Xiao Chongjing, which made his heart tremble. He quickly hugged her and begged, "Rouer, don't be like this, there is still me. Don't worry, I will definitely do it." Will help you."
"Is it true, Brother Xiao, are you lying to me too?"
"how come?"
Facing Yin Xiaorou's uneasy gaze, Xiao Chongjing smiled and comforted her.
But there was a trace of worry in his eyes, and he couldn't help but recall his scene in the palace today.
At that time, he was playing with the jade pendant in his hand. He was standing at the door of the royal study waiting to be summoned. Eunuch Fu happened to be there at that time. He glanced at the jade pendant in his hand and immediately exclaimed, "Isn't this your majesty's jade pendant?" How could it fall into your hands after so many years?"
"Father, please stop joking. Although the material of this jade pendant is good, look at the workmanship. How could it be His Majesty's?"
As Xiao Chongjing spoke, he smiled and handed the jade pendant to Eunuch Fu, letting him take a look at it clearly.
Who would have thought that after Eunuch Fu took a closer look, he became even more convinced, "This is your Majesty's. When your Majesty was a young prince, he was particularly fond of carving for a while and carved many small gadgets with his own hands. The late emperor once got very angry over this, I ordered people to throw away all those gadgets, but this one was left. His Majesty secretly hid it..."
Eunuch Fu spoke with emotion when talking about the past, but Xiao Chongjing couldn't hear it at all.
He was only curious, since this jade pendant belonged to the emperor, why did it appear in the northwest?
Could it be...
When Your Majesty was a hostage in the northwest, he actually had a child? !
Xiao Chongjing was shocked by his bold idea, but his expression remained unchanged. He just smiled and agreed with Eunuch Fu, and then naturally took back the jade pendant and hung it on his waist.
After entering the imperial study, he carefully observed the emperor's reaction while reporting his duties.
Sure enough, the emperor soon discovered the jade pendant around his waist. He was obviously startled for a moment, and then asked: "Xiao Aiqing, this jade pendant is pretty good, where did you get it?"
Xiao Chongjing felt happy and quickly knelt down to reply, "I was seriously injured in the northwest. Fortunately, I was saved by a girl. This jade pendant belongs to that girl."
"Girl..." The emperor's face briefly showed an expression of reminiscence, but he soon thought of something. He looked at Xiao Chongjing with a sharp look, and said with a half-smile, "General Xiao is very handsome."
"No, it's not."
Xiao Chongjing broke into a cold sweat.
He was afraid that the emperor would misunderstand him, so he quickly explained: "Wei Chen is only holding this jade pendant to help her find her father, and has no other meaning."
"Since she was born in the northwest, why did she come to the capital to find her father?"
"Miss Yin said that before her mother died, she always liked to look in the direction of the capital, and she remembered her father's accent, so he must be from the capital."
"Um."
The emperor nodded in a daze.
He came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Chongjing, saying with appreciation: "General, you are so kind." He rewarded him with something and asked him to retreat.
From the beginning to the end, he never revealed his intention to get acquainted with Yin Xiaorou...
Xiao Chongjing sighed secretly as he thought about the emperor's attitude at that time. After comforting Yin Xiaorou for a while, he hurriedly left the Longyan Pavilion.
When he walked away, Yin Xiaorou's eyes returned to worry.
She turned around and returned to her room. Wen Yu immediately rushed up to ask, "How is it? Is there any news? When can we enter the palace?"
"Shh." Yin Xiaorou was startled and quickly covered Wen Yu's mouth and whispered, "Keep your voice down."
"There is no one. The maids have already been sent away." Wen Yu pried off Yin Xiaorou's fingers and said with an indifferent expression, "Besides, what if they know? It's not something shameful, so why can't you tell the truth?"
"hold on."
Yin Xiaorou looked at her brother distressedly and comforted: "I know it's uncomfortable to live under someone else's roof. Don't worry, it will be over soon."
"We have to wait again?" Wen Yu complained angrily, "After waiting for so many years, how long do we have to wait? He has obviously forgotten us! He thinks we are embarrassed and will not recognize us at all!"
"No." Yin Xiaorou shook her head firmly and said confidently: "He will definitely recognize it!"
"Really?" Wen Yu's eyes lit up when he heard her determined tone, and he quickly grabbed her hand and asked, "Sister, do you have a solution?"
"Yes." Yin Xiaorou nodded and suddenly asked him: "Do you know Mrs. Huiguo?"
"Know."
Wen Yu nodded. When he was in Lingxiao Garden, his sister asked about this name.
I heard that she was the emperor's wet nurse and she was very eloquent in front of the emperor.
But……
Wen Yu frowned in confusion: "We have never even met her, why should she help us?"
"Just wait." Yin Xiaorou smiled slightly, "I have my own way."
Sui Feng Pavilion.
Ruan Yunluo read for a while and was about to take a rest when he suddenly remembered something and looked at Aunt Wan. "Has Mrs. Huiguo's invitation arrived this autumn?"
"Count the time, it's almost time."
Aunt Wan answered with a smile.
She didn't understand why Ruan Yunluo suddenly asked about this. After thinking about it for a while, she felt that ever since the general came back with Miss Xiao Rou, Madam has always been acting weird. I'm afraid this time it's still related to Miss Xiaorou.
So he asked tentatively: "Do you need to inform the two young ladies and the young master? Make them two new clothes?"
"No, they don't like that kind of situation."
Ruan Yunluo took a sip of tea and declined lightly.
In the previous life, it was because of this banquet that Yin Xiaorou saved Mrs. Huiguo's grandson and became Mrs. Huiguo's savior. Therefore, when she and Wen Yu regained their identities, Mrs. Huiguo contributed a lot.
But this time, she will never give Yin Xiaorou this chance again!
