Yao Xi helped the empress dowager to go out of the teahouse against the crowd, but she didn't see the carriage of the empress dowager, and people kept pushing out behind her, so she had to help the empress dowager to the carriage she was riding out of the palace.

"Your Majesty isn't hurt anywhere?" Yao Xi worriedly helped the Empress Dowager straighten her head scarf that was knocked crookedly.

"It's okay." Wan Yu sat in the sedan chair with a dark face, trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.The gang of girls in the teahouse, bumped into her, stepped on her, tripped her, and didn't say anything, but dared to touch Yao Xi openly.When the law of Daxing is a display?When she is dead?

no.Can't take it anymore.

Wan Yu rushed out of the sedan chair and shouted angrily, "Come on!"

"The slave is here." There was a little eunuch guarding outside the carriage, waiting for the Queen Mother's orders at any time.

Wan Yu wanted to ask the government to arrest all those unruly people for the crime of gathering a crowd to make trouble, but after thinking about it, she held back her anger.That girl Yao Xi still wants to come out of the palace to tell a story, if she makes things big, who would dare to come and praise Yao Xi?

"Let's drive back to the palace!" Wan Yu's right foot started to hurt from being stepped on, and she frowned in pain and let out a cold hiss.

"Is your majesty hurt somewhere?" Yao Xi distressedly took out a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat from her forehead, and said with some reproach: "My majesty is too. Why do you squeeze in when you know that the most people in front of the stage are at most? Where is it? Let me take a look for you."

The moment Niangniang fell from the crowd just now really frightened her to death. If Niangniang had something wrong, she would die of guilt.

"Aijia just wants to hear what Tao Xiaolin and father-in-law are talking about." Wan Yu glanced coldly at Yao Xi: "We've been chatting for a long time!" The little thing is quite blatant!He dared to chat with Tao Xiaolin for so long in front of her.

Yao Xi chuckled: "Since your mother cares about Miss Tao so much, why do you want me to come back tomorrow?"

"Don't you like storytelling? Do you want to stop talking because of her Tao Xiaolin? She doesn't have such a big face." Wan Yu's body swayed violently with the bumps of the carriage, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand to protect Yao Xi, Asked sourly: "Elder-in-law, tell me! What have you been talking to her about?"

"It's really nothing." Yao Xi leaned his head on the Empress Dowager's shoulder and said, "Miss Tao wants to thank me for the 1000 taels of silver."

"Heh. How can I thank you? Promise with your body?" Wan Yu pushed Yao Xi's little head away with her index finger in disgust and said, "I didn't explain clearly that the young master and Ai's family were close."

Yao Xi laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha——what are you talking about! Miss Tao means that she wants to count this teahouse as mine, and I will add up to five of the silver earned."

"So generous? Why does the Ai family think that she is reluctant to keep you with her money! Tao Xiaolin did this because he wanted to have something to do with you, right?" Wan Yu's jealousy persisted.

Yao Xi believed that Miss Tao did it out of good intentions, the empress loved her so much that she felt that people all over the world looked after her.But she knew it in her own heart, it was really rare in this world that she was actually only a concubine. "No matter what Miss Tao thinks, I didn't agree anyway, so you don't have to care about it."

Afraid that the empress dowager might not feel at ease, Yao Xi joked, "Besides, I hugged my empress so intimately just now, everyone knows that Mr. Wanxi is good with Long Yang, how could there be a girl thinking about me?"

Wan Yu recalled the scene of Yao Xi protecting her in his arms just now without caring about anything.She hooked her body slightly, and leaned in the arms of Yao Xi who was half a head shorter than her. She was obviously much stronger than Yao Xi, but she remained weak and silent, enjoying Yao Xi's protection.

"Isn't that just right? Tell those crazy girls to give up as soon as possible, so that they don't hurt you again." Wan Yu said with some regret: "Unfortunately, I just hugged you..."

"What do you mean by your empress?" Yao Xi didn't understand the meaning of what the empress dowager said.It's already crazy for two old men to walk with their arms around each other in public, isn't it?She also promised to go to the teahouse to tell a story tomorrow, and she still doesn't know how to face everyone.

Wan Yu hugged Yao Xi, and said ambiguously: "At least give me a kiss in front of those stinky girls?" She said as if to kiss.

Yao Xi watched in horror as the bearded Empress Dowager got closer and closer, and suddenly felt a little panicked... She clearly knew that the person in front of her was the Empress Dowager, but the makeup of the Empress was so realistic that she felt like she was being treated by a stranger. The uncomfortable feeling of male indecentness.

"Don't!" Yao Xi stretched out his hand to cover the Queen Mother's mouth, and hid back in fear.She loves her mother, but she really can't go on kissing her! "Your Majesty, take off your beard first. I'm afraid of pricking it." Yao Xi found a reasonable excuse.

"It's too sticky. You have to apply a hot towel to it for a while before you can take it off." Wan Yu put her arms around Yao Xi's neck and hooked her into her arms, pouted persistently and wanted to kiss her: "But Aijia can't wait to come back. What about the palace?"

"Don't!" Yao Xi resorted to his trump card: "My lady, don't make trouble, okay? My body is still in great pain." She hugged her arm aggrievedly, squeezed out tears, and blinked her eyes. The eyes begged the empress to let her go.

Wan Yu is not stupid, Yao Xi has been alive and well after leaving the palace, the pain may be really painful, but it is so painful that even a kiss is impossible, how is that possible? "Elder-in-law doesn't think he hates Aijia, does he?" Wan Yu raised her hand and stroked the soft and flowing beard on her face.

"Your Majesty is overthinking." Yao Xi couldn't bear to look at her carefully, for fear of being harsh.The empress also worked really hard in order not to be recognized by others, she really put a big beard on her face.

"Really? Then give me a kiss." Wan Yu pouted her pink lips mischievously.

Yao Xi couldn't help it, so he had to close his eyes and move closer... He pecked perfunctorily and quickly bounced away.Worried that the empress would tease her again, Yao Xi quickly changed the subject and said, "Didn't the empress go to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters with the emperor? Why did you come to the teahouse?"

"The emperor is not here." After teasing Yao Xi, Wan Yu easily tore off the beard on his face and said, "The Ai family also wanted to see how the father-in-law is doing outside the palace, so he came here. I didn't expect the father-in-law to be so popular. Weidao always thinks about it." Run outside the palace."

"Isn't your empress afraid of encountering assassins?" Yao Xi felt a little lingering fear when he thought of this. "Your Majesty said that I shouldn't give up storytelling because of Miss Tao, so what if I want to give up for my Majesty's sake?"

If she stayed in the palace honestly, the empress would not even think about leaving the palace.The palace is so big, and there are so many people who hate the empress, no matter how many people you bring along, you can't keep the empress safe.She likes the atmosphere in the tea house, and also enjoys the feeling of being sought after by others, but these are not worth mentioning in front of the safety of the empress.

Wan Yu took Yao Xi's hand and smiled softly: "Silly girl. Aijia often went out of the palace before. Even if you don't go out for the rest of your life, Aijia will go out if you feel bored. Whatever you want to do, do it down-to-earth. , don't wrong yourself because of Aijia, Aijia doesn't want to owe you this kind of favor."

"Yeah." Yao Xi agreed, but made up his mind.She will go to the teahouse tomorrow to give an explanation to the audience, and she will not go there again.She stayed by Niangniang's side for a few days, and learned some skills by osmosis.For example, instead of focusing on what a person said, think about why that person said it.

The empress said that, but she didn't want her to leave the palace, she just didn't want to be her bondage.Yao Xi could hear it.

***

After returning to the palace, Wan Yu saw a maid standing quietly outside the palace holding a thick stack of paintings.

"Your Majesty." The palace maid presented the painting with both hands.

"En. Put the painting on the table." Wan Yu led Yao Xiti into the hall.The people under her were always neat and tidy. They asked them to find out which courtyard had a big banyan tree in the capital, and they found all seventeen of them in one night.Ask a painter to draw all those houses, and it will be done in a few days.

The maid put down the painting respectfully, stepped back and went out, closing the palace door smoothly.

"What painting?" Yao Xi was a little scared.She was afraid that her mother would make Miss Tao jealous, so she wanted to choose a man to dote on her with great fanfare.

After the gate was closed, the back hall was a bit dark, Wan Yu lit the candlestick and moved to the front of the paintings and said to Yao Xi, "Xiao Yaozi, come here and see if any of these paintings look familiar to you?"

According to her order, the paintings were out of order, and only numbered at the back, one for each family.If Yao Xi doesn't find anyone familiar, or if someone looks familiar but it's not the same house, it can only mean that Yao Xi is just dreaming.But if Yao Xi picked out all the banyan tree houses in the front yard and backyard of a certain house from the huge number of scrolls, it would be more than just a dream.

Yao Xi walked over to take a look, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.Fortunately, what the empress showed her was not a portrait of a handsome man, but a variety of houses and courtyards.

"These are..." Yao Xi didn't understand why the Empress Dowager showed her this.

"Didn't you say you dreamed of a yard? See if there's anything in it, and I'll tell you why after seeing Aijia." Before she had a definite answer, Wan Yu didn't want to tell Yao Xi that she was not the real daughter of the Sun family.If Yao Xi's biological parents can't be found, why bother to expose all this and make the child sad?

Yao Xi looked at the empress dowager suspiciously.Is the empress going to interpret her dream?She still had doubts in her heart, but her hands had already turned the pages of the painting involuntarily.Suddenly, Yao Xi stopped flipping the page and stared straight at the big banyan tree on the paper in front of him, as if something had been touched in the back of his mind.

"This banyan tree..." Yao Xi said in shock, "It's very similar to the one in the dream." She clearly remembered the intertwined shape of the roots of the banyan tree in the dream, and it was exactly the same as this one.How can it be?Could it be that the courtyard in the dream really existed?Could it be that those increasingly clear dreams were really Sun Xibao's memories?

Wan Yu moved the painting aside, and said to Yao Xi, "Keep looking. Is there any familiar one?"

Yao Xi read all the way and picked out a few more, some of which he was sure about, while others were not sure.Because some are almost exactly the same as the scenes in the dream, while others have changed a little.

Wan Yu picked up the paintings that Yao Xi picked out, and checked the numbers on the back of the scrolls.

Number Nine... Number Nine... Number Nine...

Tongtong is number nine.

She picked up the brochure presented by the maid again, trying to find out which family No. [-] belonged to.Looking down, Wan Yu's fingertips landed on Kang Wang Feng Xi's name.

Feng Xi... the younger brother of the late emperor, the nineteenth uncle of the current emperor.

The house in Yao Xi's memory belonged to Feng Xi?Could it be that Yao Xi is Feng Xi's daughter?Isn't Yao Xi her niece? ? ?
