Returning the pearl, the natural dumb is a cute thing

After receiving the true and false news, Lafayette began to rush back to Beijing from Mount Wutai.Although it is rushing, but because I am old and my body is a little uncomfortable, the forward speed is still slow.

Knowing that Lafayette was about to arrive in the capital, Qianlong immediately arranged for the princes and ministers to meet Lafayette at the gate of the Forbidden City.He also asked the dark guard to tell the news to the fourth master in Prince He's mansion.

The mighty team finally entered the Forbidden City.Under the watchful eyes of the audience, a beautiful girl in palace attire walked out of the sedan chair first, walked to the gorgeous sedan chair at the front, and slowly walked out of the sedan chair with the help of Lafayette.

"I've seen the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has worked hard." The emperor led a group of officials to salute, and then the empress also led the harem concubines to salute.

"Praying for the Qing Dynasty, how can Aijia work so hard. Besides," Lafayette patted Qinger's hand lovingly, "Aijia still has Qinger."

"Qing'er has met the emperor, the queen's wife and all the ladies." Qing'er blessed her politely.

"Good Qing'er, I feel at ease with you by my side. Queen Mother, why don't you go back to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to freshen up and rest."

Lafayette, who was preoccupied with Xiaodai, didn't notice that Qing'er, who had been supporting him, was looking around absently along the way, as if looking for someone.

Concubine Ling, who had been paying close attention to Lafayette, could see Qing'er's expression in her eyes, thought secretly, and then showed a big smile.

Back at the Palace of Compassion, Lafayette excused himself to take a rest after cleaning up and dismissed everyone, leaving only his confidant Nanny Gui by his side.After Qianlong made a false appearance in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he also secretly came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

After everything was arranged, the fourth master and Xiaodai who secretly sneaked into the Palace of Compassionate Peace took advantage of the time when everyone went to the city gate to greet them, and came out from the secret passage and sat on the main seat.

"The concubine sees the Supreme Emperor." Lafayette bowed his head slowly.Qianlong also saluted.

"That's fine, just sit down. You're getting older, so you need to pay more attention to your body." Fourth Master said flatly.On the contrary, Xiao Dai, who was sitting on his lap, was extremely excited, clapping his little hands and calling "sister" happily.

Seeing Xiaodai who didn't change at all, Lafayette felt as if he was young again, and smiled softly, "Now that I'm old, this sister really can't afford it."

After chatting with Xiao Dai for a few words, Lafayette saw Fourth Master's serious expression and sat up straight.

"Mr. Niu Hulu, I always thought you were a smart woman, and I confidently handed over Hongli's harem to you. However, you disappointed me very much."

"I'm terrified, please forgive my sins." Lafayette slowly knelt on the ground supported by Nanny Gui, as smart as she was, of course she understood what fourth master was referring to.After a long time of peace and stability, she really gradually forgot the cruelty of this harem.

"Huang Ama..." Qianlong, who still didn't know what happened, hastily walked to Lafayette, "Huang Ama, Huang Erniang is not well..."

"Forget it, get up." Fourth master waved his hand, not embarrassing her anymore.Seeing Qianlong's filial piety, Fourth Master was still relieved.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He was slowly lifted up and sat down on the chair again.

Under the signal of the fourth master's eyes, Lafayette began to slowly say to Qianlong who was still confused: "Hongli, you were taken and protected by Xiao Dai since you were born, so you have not really been involved in the waves of the harem." You don’t know. When Ai’s family was pregnant with you, there were several miscarriages. Fortunately, God blessed them, and each time was safe and sound. Later..." At this point, Lafayette paused He got down and looked at fourth master, as if asking if he could tell the story.

Fourth Lord nodded.

"Later, there was a time when Ai's family was framed by several concubines and broke into the other courtyard where the Lord had banned him. That time, it was the first time that Ai's family saw Xiaodai. Originally, the master wanted the secret guards to solve Ai's family immediately. , but because Xiaodai was very curious about Aijia's big belly, and after hearing that there was a child inside, he clamored for the baby, so the master let our mother and child's lives go. That's it."

"This..." Qianlong heard these things for the first time, and he couldn't react for a while.

"Hmph, Hongli, can you count for me how many children you have left? Maybe some rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River have more children than you. There are imperial physicians and precious medicinal materials in the palace. Why are there so many children?" So many elder brothers have died?!"

The fourth master's words were like a stick. It turned out that his heirs were not weak. It turned out that his son was killed by his own woman. It turned out that he was born through many gates of hell. It turned out... At this time, Qianlong's mind flashed I have seen a few beautiful shadows—Xiaoxian, Huixian, Jiafei, Lingfei... Many, many women like water that I have loved before, are they all wolves in sheep's clothing?

"Investigate thoroughly, I must investigate thoroughly!!" Qianlong smashed the surrounding porcelain like a madman.

Fourth Master and Lafayette let him vent, while Xiaodai looked curious and kept moving his butt, wanting to go over and play together.

Fourth Master patted Xiaodai's buttocks, "Don't move around!"

"Let's play together!" Xiao Dai turned his face and said seriously, it's not right for Xiao Li to do this, good things and good friends want to play together.Fourth master helplessly pointed Xiaodai's forehead with his fingers, and hugged him tightly with his other hand, lest the over-excited Xiaodai suddenly rush over and get hurt.

When Qianlong finally had nothing to smash, and his mood gradually calmed down, the fourth master said, "Hongli, there is no need for you to thoroughly investigate the past now, so what if you find out? The result will not change .Now you have to think about what to do in the future.”

Lafayette went on to say: "Hongli, leave the affairs of the harem to Aijia. Hmph, Aijia is watching, those harmful things will make her disappear forever!"

After a few more pleasantries, fourth master asked Xiaohua to take the impatient Xiaodai out to play first.When it comes to playing, Xiaodai will think of Yongzheng, so let Xiaohua lead him bouncing around to find Yongxin to play hide-and-seek.

Finally found Yongzheng, but Yongzheng said that he was going to pay his respects to the queen, so Xiaodai followed him to Kunning Palace without any so-called Xiaodai.

This is Xiaodai's first official visit to Kunning Palace, and it is also the first time that he has seen the "Emperor's Lady" that Yongzhen is always talking about.

The queen was obviously displeased with Xiao Dai's behavior of being rude and staring at her, but due to the identity of the other party, she resisted the scolding, but her face was always ugly.But the dull little Dai didn't notice.

Of course Yong Xin noticed the empress's bad face, and quickly tugged Xiao Dai's sleeve secretly, and said quietly: "Davis, you can't stare at Empress Empress like this."

Xiaodai ignored Yongzheng, waved his hand and told Xiaohua beside him to bow down, pointed at the queen, and said: "Smelly, Xiaohua look."

Just when the Queen was about to have an attack, Xiaohua blessed her body and explained in a low voice: "My Lady, the Duke's sense of smell is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people. What Your Highness just meant was that the Queen's Lady might be stained with it." Some bad things..." Xiao Hua's words were pointed.

The fine Nanny Rong immediately came to her senses and asked in a low voice, "The bad things mean..."

"May the empress let the slaves check her pulse?"

The queen nodded in agreement, and then motioned for Nanny Rong to clear out the people in the hall.Xiaohua carefully checked the empress's pulse first, and then took out a needle bag from her waist, "Empress empress, please bear with me when the servant will prick the acupuncture points on your hand." After speaking, she took a silver needle Slowly stabbed down.

The silver needle was pulled out, and the needle turned black, which made the Queen, Nurse Rong and Yongxi who had been watching closely take a big breath.

Nanny Rong was so angry that she jumped up. The sensible queen immediately comforted the impulsive Nanny Rong, and then asked her carefully.

"Empress, this poison is a slow poison, and it enters the human body through the skin. And it will only make the pulse appear weaker when you usually ask for the pulse. You have to use a silver needle to test it out. If it weren't for your highness's sensitive sense of smell, I am afraid that the imperial physicians in the palace will not be aware of this poison on the day when it is poisoned. And you, my lady, have been poisoned for about a year."

Afterwards, after listening to Xiaohua's suggestion, Nanny Rong immediately sorted out all the queen's underwear, rouge, gouache and other items that have been in contact with the skin for a long time.

Xiaohua took the silver needle and checked each sample carefully, and finally found a small amount of toxin in the queen's hair oil.

"Empress Empress, this poison should have been put on this box of hair oil. This servant thinks that Empress Empress just finished using the hair oil just now, so Your Highness can smell it."

Afterwards, Xiaohua didn't want Xiaodai to be involved, so she took Xiaodai and left Kunning Palace.It's just that Xiaodai's love, both Yongzheng and the queen silently remembered it in their hearts.

Nanny Rong secretly reported to Lafayette that the empress was poisoned.When Lafayette was about to clean up the harem, he heard the news and was furious. He ordered Madam Rong not to publicize the matter, and then secretly sent someone to investigate.

After a while, Lafayette looked at the survey results in his hand and trembled with anger. He took a sip of the ginseng tea offered by Nanny Gui, but the anger in his chest had not yet come out immediately.

The high-status and favored concubines in the palace actually have poisonous things in their palaces, some of which are chronic poisons, and some are infertility drugs.And because the relationship in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is complicated, the truth is not going well for a while, who is the poisonous woman who is leading the wire at the end of the day.However, Lafayette firmly believes that there is absolutely no way that there is only one person involved, and many concubines in the palace are probably involved.It's just that they don't know that while harming others, there are also harmful things hidden in their own palaces.

Although it is still impossible to find out who is behind the scenes, Lafayette is not in a hurry. When will the struggle in the harem stop.As long as those people can't bear to make a move again, the secret threads buried in various places will report the news immediately.

However, the fact that there are not many heirs of Qianlong is indeed a great pain in Lafayette's heart.After thinking about it, Lafayette remembered Xiaohua, the maid who was personally arranged by the fourth master next to Xiaodai.Therefore, Lafayette immediately sent someone to the Prince's Mansion to summon Xiaohua, and asked her to develop a tonic to regulate the body, and then infiltrate it into the cream commonly used by concubines.After the cream was developed, Lafayette sent people to gradually clear away the poisonous things in each palace, and then sent the cream to each palace in the name of his reward.

16. Short story ([-]) They...

Speaking of that time, it was the first time Xiaodai came to Daqing.Following the old housekeeper, he traveled across the ocean in order to find a safe refuge.

Different hairstyles, different clothes, different buildings, all the differences make Xiaodai very curious.At that time, Xiao Dai didn't understand Chinese. Fortunately, he had a knowledgeable old housekeeper, otherwise his life in Qing Dynasty would be a problem.

The two first settled in a country hut, and all the gems they brought from England were pawned, and silver was not a problem.Originally, the old housekeeper planned to live in peace and stability like this, waiting for the recall notice from the family.However, Xiao Dai, who is full of curiosity and restless, is not happy to live such a peaceful life.One day, he sneaked out of the house while the old housekeeper was out shopping, but he saw that there were many colorful and beautiful decorations hanging on the street today, and something interesting must have happened.

That day was Qixi Festival.

Fourth Master, or should we call him Prince Yong, suddenly planned to go out for a walk on a whim.So, he took a few guards and went out in casual clothes.

Looking at the lights and festoons on the street, and the happy smiles on the faces of the people, Fourth Master felt that the suffocation he had suffered in the court hall today seemed to have dissipated a lot.

"My lord, why don't you sit in the restaurant over there for a while, I heard that there will be a lantern festival tonight." The guard suggested.

Fourth master thought for a while, and he was indeed a little thirsty, so he followed suit.

When going out, Fourth Master didn't want to make it too special, so he rejected the private room and chose to sit in a place near the gate, wanting to experience the lives of ordinary people.

Fourth master didn't like dim sum very much, so the few plates of delicate dim sum on the table were hardly touched.A few plates of delicious snacks are placed on the table at the door, which is indeed a crime.

Xiao Dai who sneaked out of course did not bring any money.Xiao Dai, who was planning to go home to get the money, found that he had forgotten how to walk back. Every time he came out, the old housekeeper took it with him, and he usually looked around on the road. It's strange that he can remember the way.

Xiaodai rubbed his belly, licked his lips, and wanted to eat some dim sum. Daqing's dim sum was delicious.Suddenly, Xiaodai saw fourth master... the dim sum on the table, that person doesn't even eat dim sum, it's not good to waste it!Xiaodai laughed, and ran over in a hurry.

Looking at the kid standing by the table, Fourth Master could easily tell that the kid was a little foreigner.Fourth Master, who has always been very interested in foreign culture, signaled to the guards not to chase him away, and let the little foreigner approach him.

Finally came to his favorite dim sum, Xiaodai tilted his head, said to the Qing man who had been staring at him, "Eat!" and pointed to the dim sum.After living in the Qing Dynasty for several months, the old housekeeper taught Xiaodai Chinese every day. Fortunately, although Xiaodai was dumb, he had a good language talent. After learning for a few months, he could handle some daily communication.

Fourth Master, who scored 100 points in comprehension ability, immediately knew what the other party meant.Nodded, "Let's eat."

Hearing that the other party agreed, Xiao Dai squinted his eyes with a smile, and the two little dimples on his face were extremely cute.

Seeing Xiaodai eating dim sum, as if he was biting a rare delicacy in the world, the happy look made fourth master, who didn't like dim sum, take a piece and put it in his mouth.

After eating snacks, the two began to chat.Fourth Master's meaning was very clear, he was interested in foreign culture.Xiaodai's meaning is also very clear, he wants to eat delicious snacks every day, but Dante (the old housekeeper) is bad, so he won't give Xiaodai to eat.

In this way, Xiao Dai sold himself for a few snacks and became a little book boy in Prince Yong's Mansion.

Of course, Xiaodai also misses his butler Dante.Fourth master didn't mind raising one more person in the palace, and the old housekeeper was also knowledgeable.

Fourth master is a workaholic, once in court, fourth master will work in the study, and sometimes even work all night long.Therefore, Xiaodai was almost the person in the palace who saw fourth master the longest in a day.

In fact, how did Xiaodai know how to be someone's book boy, fourth master certainly knew it, but he was still very happy to arrange Xiaodai by his side like this.Ever since I got Xiaodai, this study has become my most relaxing place.There is no tit-for-tat in the court, and the tricks are exhausted; there is no hidden needles, flattery, and pretentious plans of those women in the backyard.Xiao Dai's identity is very simple, he is just a child who came to Qing Dynasty to seek refuge from England, and he is a stupid child.Xiaodai never hides his thoughts, so fourth master doesn't have to speculate on people's hearts like he does outside.In the study, in front of Xiaodai, he can try to relax himself.

"Fourth Master, eat!" Xiao Dai handed over the half-bitten pastry.

The fourth master was helpless, "I've said it many times, I can't give the dim sum I've eaten to others, it's impolite."

"But fourth master is not someone else!"

A short sentence without any ups and downs is like a stone, throwing a big wave on Si Ye's heart lake, that hard heart seems to become soft in an instant.

"Isn't Master someone else?" Fourth master put down the pen in his hand, pulled Xiao Dai to him, and asked with his pure eyes.

Xiao Dai shook his head, and answered seriously, "Si Ye is good to Xiao Dai, and Xiao Dai should also be good to Si Ye!" So please Si Ye have some snacks.

"Is that so..." The voice was very soft.

Xiaodai tilted her head, not quite understanding why fourth master became weird.After thinking about it, he felt that fourth master didn't believe what he said just now.So, Xiao Dai leaned forward, kissed Fourth Master on the face, hugged Fourth Master with his small hands, and said under Fourth Master's surprised eyes, "Hello, Fourth Master!"

Manchu people pay attention to holding grandchildren and not having children, and fourth master is not close to his mother. Those women in the backyard dare not be so presumptuous in front of fourth master.Therefore, Xiaodai's actions made fourth master feel a little strange in his heart.

At that moment, Fourth Master pulled Xiao Dai into his arms, "Don't leave, okay?"

"En!" Xiao Dai nodded heavily, "Don't leave!"

The author has something to say: Alas...it turns out that the extra episode is not easy...so, this is a short extra episode...

The results will be released on the 26th, I feel so nervous, I don't want to update the article...

17. Short story (ii) The origin of one by one...

In other words, Xiao Dai and Fourth Master gradually entered the period of captivity and being captive from that half-eaten pastry.Xiao Dai was still a happy little book boy, and Fourth Master also purposely found a secluded small courtyard near the study for him to live in, and sent guards with strong martial arts skills from the mansion around to guard him, and no one was allowed to enter.Therefore, a year has passed, and the relationship between Xiao Dai and Fourth Master is only the relationship between the prince and the book boy among outsiders.

It's the Chinese Valentine's Day again, after the fourth master finishes the work, he agrees to take Xiao Dai out to watch the lanterns.

"Fourth Master, fish!" Xiao Dai opened his mouth wide and pointed at the goldfish lantern hanging on the side of the street.Fourth Master smiled dotingly, and asked his servants to buy a bunch of candied haws, and handed them to Xiao Dai.

Xiao Dai took the candied haws, showed a big smile to the fourth master, bit the candied haws and said, "Shoes are from the master! (Thank you, the fourth master)"

Fourth Master scratched the bridge of Xiao Dai's nose with his fingers, "I told you not to talk while eating, or the little idiot will swallow again."

Tired from walking, Fourth Master took Xiao Dai to the restaurant where the room was booked early in the morning to take a rest.However, Xiaodai's energy was too high, so he sat for a while, and ran down excitedly when he saw an old man who was making a villain downstairs.

Seeing Xiao Dai like this, Fourth Master shook his head, so he had to ask a few guards to follow up and protect him, while he himself looked after him from upstairs.

Xiao Dai squatted in front of the old man, looking curiously at the ball of flour turned into a lifelike little rabbit after the old man's effort.

"Wow!" Xiaodai clapped his hands excitedly.

Seeing Xiaodai's cute appearance, the old man smiled and quickly pinched two kittens of different shapes and handed them to Xiaodai seeing that there were no guests. "This pair of kittens, Mr. Elvis Wang, will be given to the child for you."

Xiaodai took it happily, held it tightly in his hand, and stared at the two kittens with sly eyes. "Uncle, why is the kitten different?"

"Hehe," the old man stroked his beard and replied with a smile, "Because one is a cat husband and the other is a cat lady."

"Sister-in-law? Wife?" Xiao Dai didn't understand this word anymore.

It can be seen that Xiaodai is a little foreigner, and the old man also patiently said to Xiaodai: "When a man and a woman get married, they will be together for the rest of their lives. The husband refers to the man, and the wife refers to the woman."

"Can't two men be together forever?" Xiaodai asked immediately.

The old man didn't know about Xiao Dai and Fourth Master, he just thought that the child had all sorts of strange thoughts, so he shook his head and said, "Two men can't be together. Yin and Yang, only a man and a woman can coordinate."

After hearing this, Xiao Dai lowered his head and returned to the restaurant sullenly. The two kittens in his hand seemed to have become annoying.That night, no matter how fourth master tried to coax him, Xiao Dai kept his mouth shut. After fourth master asked a few more words, Xiao Dai immediately looked like he was about to cry, which made fourth master who was in the courtroom feel like a duck to water with a headache.

In desperation, Fourth Master had no choice but to coax Xiaodai to sleep, and then called the guard who accompanied Xiaodai to see the clay figure to question him.

The guard recounted the conversation between Xiao Dai and the old man in detail. The fourth master had just dismissed the guard, and when he turned around, he saw Xiao Dai standing timidly in the corner with his eyes red from crying, pinching the hem of his clothes.

Fourth master hurried over, hugged Xiaodai on his lap and sat down, and said softly: "Little idiot, don't listen to that old man's nonsense. Fourth master will stay with Xiaodai for the rest of his life."

Xiaodai cried and shook his head, and said sullenly: "Fourth master, I want a wife, Xiaodai can't be a wife..."

"Then Xiaodai will not be a wife, but only Fourth Master's little idiot, Fourth Master's little fool!" Fourth Master kissed Xiaodai who was crying miserably.

"That, that lady... don't tell, don't tell... Xiaodai..." He hugged fourth master tightly as he spoke.

Although Xiaodai spoke intermittently, fourth master still understood Xiaodai's meaning, "There is no wife, just Xiaodai's alone, the only one, okay?"

"The only one, Xiaodai's one by one..."

"Yes, the only one!"

The author has something to say: Alas... the professional gods are the most annoying! ! !It has bothered me all day, and I don’t want to think about it anymore at night, so I just typed it up... Another short story with love~~~
