Fake concubine, real queen

The little girl He Baoyin's words were not shocking, but fortunately, when He Rong ran away, she took the maid with her, and besides the father and daughter, there was no third person beside her.

He Gu felt that his head was a little big, but he really couldn't do anything about this little clever ghost. After all, she was a girl, not like a boy who was tough enough to resist beatings, so he had to reason with her earnestly, and whispered: "You are from the He family. Daughter, why did you become Pei Shuangshuang? Didn’t daddy tell you that you can’t tell others about having two daddies, otherwise bad people will come and harm both of you, have you forgotten?”

Although Baoyin is young, she knows how to read people's eyes. She immediately saw that her father was unhappy. She wrinkled her white nose and whispered guiltyly: "... Shuangshuang didn't tell anyone that there are two people. Daddy..."

He Gu had no choice but to be persuasive: "You are Daddy's daughter, a girl from the He family, and the Princess of Fucheng who was personally appointed by the emperor. Of course, your surname is He. If you do something wrong, tell others that it was Pei Shuangshuang who did it. Isn't that right?" Don't tell me, you still have a father whose surname is not He?"

Obviously, Master He Xiaohou's words were covered in clouds and mist, and the twists and turns of father and father had already greatly exceeded the maximum complexity that Baoyin's little head could understand. She stared blankly for a while. Father, with a dazed look on his face, seemed to understand something after a long while, and suddenly said firmly: "...But Bao Yin is not the one who did the bad things, how would others know that Pei Shuangshuang has two fathers?"

He Gu: "..."

Sure enough, it was too early to tell her the child's life experience, such a small milk doll may not be able to understand, now looking at Baoyin, it is obvious that she has not figured out the reason, but she has involved herself first.

He and Brother Heng only have a baby bump like Baoyin. It doesn't make sense that Baoyin calls his father, but he doesn't recognize Brother Heng as the other father. So He Gusi thought about it and decided to tell Baoyin about it. .

Bao Yin accepts the fact that she has no mother but has two fathers. It may also be because she has never seen other children with mothers, so she does not realize that there is a big difference between herself and others. .

The daughter's logic is really strange, and He Xiaohou, who was wandering around for a while, was a little lost. He was thinking about what was wrong, but he heard Baoyin softly said: "Others will not know that Baoyin is Shuangshuang! Daddy, don't worry. Bar!"

He Gu was about to ask her why, but a girl's gentle voice came from outside.

It's Mrs. Yan who's back.

He Gu hugged Bao Yin and turned around to say hello to his grandmother. Seeing this, Mrs. Yan hurriedly supported him and smiled, "No, no, didn't you say that you will be in Jiangluo with the prince this year? Why did you leave so soon? Are you back? You are the only one, where is the prince?"

He Gu rubbed his nose, thinking that although Brother Heng is indeed likable, in just three short years, the attitude of his grandmother towards the "granddaughter-in-law" has changed a bit too quickly...

It's clear that at the beginning, he still looked up and down.

He Gu coughed dryly and said: "He still has some common affairs that he hasn't finished. Two days ago, news came out from the palace that His Majesty's condition has improved. He personally ordered to see me, so I will go back to Beijing first. As for the prince... In a few days, there will be something wrong with Jiangluo, so the prince will come back naturally."

Madam Yan nodded and said, "I see..."

Suddenly remembered something again, frowned and took He Gu's hand and said: "By the way, listen to Cheng'er, these days the officials of Yushitai have made more than a dozen memorials to impeach you, Gu'er, what is going on with this matter?" Is it true or false?"

He Gu was startled, and said: "You already know about this..."

Mrs. Yan said: "You are no different. I told your grandfather that now Dingye is alone in Chenghe, and we old couple can't control it anymore. If you are in the capital, if there is any disturbance, you have to hide it from me and you." Grandfather..."

"Forget it...it's my fault at the beginning, I didn't take good care of Ruo'er... Ruo'er went away, and only left you as a thought for grandma, if you have something wrong..."

He Gu felt dizzy when he heard this, and hurriedly interrupted to beg for forgiveness: "Nothing, nothing! I dare not hide it from the elders, but am I not living in Jiangluo? It's not good to tell my grandparents, right? It's just a few days It’s all just babbling from a speech official who is used to finding fault, not to mention participating in more than a dozen memorials of mine, even if he participates in a hundred of others, he can’t participate in half of my flesh, so grandma doesn’t have to worry about it.”

Madam Yan said, "Really?"

He Gu was about to answer, but Old General Yan's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"You don't need to hide it from me and your grandmother. Cheng'er told us everything. I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter to visit you at Yushitai this time? The papers have been handed over to your majesty's palace. If it's a trivial matter, your majesty is sick. Call you back to Beijing easily?"

He Gu turned around, and sure enough, he saw his grandfather, Old General Yan, leaning on a cane, followed by several long entourages, standing in front of the small courtyard.

He could not help but thump in his heart——

Knowing so clearly, it seems that Brother Cheng has already wiped out his old background, and did not cover up for him at all.

As soon as Old General Yan came in, Mrs. Yan immediately stepped forward to entangle him, congratulating him and said, "It's cold, my grandfather's legs and feet are not good, why did you come out? If there is something to tell the servants, grandson will naturally I went to your yard..."

Old General Yan said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, if your grandfather asks you, you should answer properly. Is everything Cheng'er said true?"

He Gu was silent for a while, then said: "...It's sort of like that."

Old General Yan breathed a little short of breath, and murmured: "That's really the case... Yushitai even participated in eleven memorials... even when the late emperor dealt with rebellious ministers, he didn't have such a big momentum. You still said it's not a big deal …What on earth have you done, why are the officials like Yushitai trying to make things difficult for you?"

He Gudao: "This matter is indeed strange, but before I returned to Beijing, the lord also told me that I have made no major mistakes, and there is nothing wrong to look for. Even if I have to cover an unnecessary crime, there must be a reason, right? Now, no one in the government and the opposition has any grudges against me. I think it’s just that these officials have been unable to find anyone to impeach them in recent years. My grandfather also knows that they always like to find fault with nothing. They just happen to be eyeing me. Go see His Majesty and explain it clearly, then you will know, and grandfather need not worry too much."

Old General Yan was silent for a while, and said: "Gu'er... your grandfather understands what you said, and I also know that now that the prince is in charge of the government, even if the judge participates in you and the prince doesn't express his opinion, they really have nothing to do with you. , It’s just eleven memorials, it’s not a trivial matter, the emperor wants to see you now, it’s not that simple, you must be cautious in your words and deeds when you enter the palace, no matter what relationship you have with the prince now, you must also remember , the lord's reliance on you is the favor of the heavenly family, and you must not lose your sense of proportion, otherwise, if you are cooking with fire today, you may be killed tomorrow, do you understand?"

He Gu said: "Of course I know, grandfather doesn't need to worry."

Mrs. Yan became more and more worried when she heard it, and she couldn't help but whispered: "How about this, tomorrow... tomorrow you will bring Baoyin into the palace together, just in time to greet the empress. If you are really angry, you will still care about your feelings, and you will not be severely punished..."

He Gu hesitated for a while, and said, "This..."

Old General Yan seemed to be still in a trance, he didn't know what to think of, and after a while he said in a low voice: "Gu'er...there are not so many coincidences in this world...how come the officials at Yushitai don't pay attention to other people, but Want to join you? Your Majesty is the most taboo to say that officials form cliques, but now they dare to agree like this, if they say that there is no one behind them, I don't think it may be."

He Gu was startled, and said, "Grandfather means..."

Old General Yan said: "Your Majesty has been ill for the past three years, thanks to all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital who have racked their brains and painstakingly treated them with medication. It's just that fate is impermanent and life is limited. No king in the world can really live forever. Your Majesty has been bedridden all the time. But now I suddenly want to see you, I thought about it, I am afraid that you have followed the prince all these years, and your sharpness is too revealing, which has made His Majesty feel jealous..."

He Gu was silent for a while, of course he understood what his grandfather meant, but in the past three years, His Highness the Third Highness took power for the first time, although the old Chen family, which once responded to everyone and invaded the ruling and opposition parties, has come to an end, but it is not easy to establish a new authority .

In the city of Bianjing, there are dark tides and complicated situations, not to mention the huge Da Yue Dynasty, if the Third Highness doesn't have anyone useful around him, how can he let those moths who are full of selfish pockets know how powerful they are?

The trust between He Gu and Pei Zhaoheng, of course, there is no need to say a word, he has already had a previous life experience, and now he is upright to cut off the good luck for the third highness. Position, in charge of Teng Snake and Qinglong guards, it is natural to do this kind of thing, and I have never felt that there is anything wrong with it.

But at this moment...

The air in the yard was silent for a long time, and He Gucai said: "...It's fine, I will enter the palace alone tomorrow, both of you are still young, I act with a clear conscience, even if His Majesty personally questioned me, why use Shuangshuang's child as a shield ?”

Seeing his expression, Old General Yan, Madam Yan, naturally knew that he had made up his mind, looked at each other, and could only sigh secretly in unison.

Madam Yan said: "Okay, then Gu'er must be careful when he enters the palace tomorrow... Now that Rong'er is grown up and has his own ideas, grandma can't talk to her, just waiting for you to come back tomorrow. Persuade her well, and let Rong'er look for a good-looking gentleman with a good character and a suitable family background."

He Gu smiled and answered yes.

He didn't show any expression on his face, but in his heart he didn't take what Old General Yan said today as a deaf ear.

On the second day, He Gu got up early in the morning, washed and changed his clothes early, and tidied up, but he didn't wear the gold and red robes of the twelve guards. He only wore the most comfortable royal blue narrow-sleeved casual clothes. He went to Zhengye to enter the palace.

It was nearly June, and the air was a little dry. The gardens in the imperial garden were blooming with colorful and vibrant colors, but the noisy cicadas and vigorous vitality became more and more like the bedridden, sick people in the center of the forbidden palace. The old emperor with his bones torn apart formed a stark contrast.

When He Gu arrived at the door of the Lanzheng Palace store, he saw an official in charge waiting there with his head bowed, but when the official raised his head, He Gu was taken aback.

It wasn't the royal official who was next to His Majesty in the past, but Wu Dehuai.

He Gu looked a little hesitant, but Wu Dehuai reacted quickly, and immediately noticed that he was coming, and said with a smile: "Commander He is here, Your Majesty has been waiting for Commander for a long time."

He Gu felt a little strange in his heart. He wanted to ask why Wang Zhonglu had disappeared, but when he opened his mouth, he felt that something was wrong, so he didn't really ask, and only asked, "Is Your Majesty in there?"

As he spoke, he straightened his clothes carefully.

Wu Dehuai shook his head, and said: "Your Majesty is not in the Lanzheng Palace today, and the royal officials are following His Majesty, that's why the slaves are waiting for the commander here, and please come with the old servant."

He Gu was startled, and said, "Your Majesty is not in the Palace of Government Affairs?"

It's strange that the old emperor was so seriously ill that he could still get up and leave the Lanzheng Hall.

Wu Dehuai said: "I also invite Commander He to come with this old slave."

He Gu looked around, and saw a few small internal officials standing around in the lush green garden of the Lanzheng Palace, all of them bowed their heads and looked down, in silence, and no one came out to express any objection to Wu Dehuai's words just now .

He Gu turned his head around, was silent for a while, and could only say: "I beg your father-in-law to lead the way."

Wu Dehuai smiled slightly, turned around as expected, and went to the other side under the corridor of the tall hall.

Although He Gu has been to the Lanzheng Palace many times, and his posture is very rich, he has come in and killed him, but it is the first time he knows that this is a place where the emperor's bed and government are combined. The residence, there is actually a different cave behind it——

In the dog days, it was supposed to be extremely hot, but there was a cool breeze blowing under the winding and winding corridor. He didn't even know if it was his illusion, but he also faintly felt a ghostly wind blowing towards him.Although the scenery in the garden is beautiful, the wind blowing makes people feel a little uncomfortable, and the leisurely feeling of enjoying the scenery will naturally disappear.

He Gu began to feel something was wrong in his heart, but he still remembered what Brother Heng had said to him before returning to Beijing, so he settled down a bit, and still followed Wu Dehuai.

After finally meeting the end of the corridor, bypassing a piece of unique rockery and shrubs, it suddenly opened up in front of my eyes, which was actually a vast and boundless lake surface sparkling and rippling under the sun.

There are rows of green willows by the lake, under the shade is a grand master's chair, and a few internal officials stand beside them without saying a word, who is the leader if not Wang Zhonglu?

It is self-evident who is lying on the grand master's chair.

Wu Dehuai had already silently retreated along the corridor where he came from. He Gu couldn't see the expression of the emperor lying on the grand teacher's chair with his back facing him, but seeing Wang Neiguan glanced at him, he still stepped forward and put his knees together. Kneeling down and kowtowing, he said: "I congratulate you, Gu kowtow to see Your Majesty."

After a short moment of silence by the pool, the emperor's voice rang out. It was not as weak and hoarse as He Gu guessed, but rather calm and full of energy.

"...You were meritorious in rescuing him back then, and I promised you that you would be exempt from prostration, but you have always been cautious, and you never relied on your favor when you saw me, and never forgot these false gifts, why...but why are you unhappy with me? Is this why you don't want to accept it?"

He Gu hurriedly bowed his head and said: "I dare not, and I have absolutely no resentment, I just admire Your Majesty in my heart, so I don't want to give up courtesy."

The emperor smiled and said angrily: "Is it really true?"

He Gu said firmly: "Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty."

... Nonsense, even if it is not the truth, those who know the current affairs are heroes, whoever admits who is stupid right now?

The emperor said: "Zhonglu."

Wang Zhonglu respectfully said: "Yes."

Then he stepped forward and moved the grand teacher's chair with its back facing He Gu.

No matter how stupid He Gu was, he knew that the emperor's visit today was not good. He didn't dare to look up, but saw the emperor's bright yellow dragon boots hanging on the footrest of the grand master's chair, but the body of the boots was already empty as far as the naked eye could see——

The emperor lost more than a little weight.

There was a violent dry cough from the grand master's chair, and the fluttering birds flew away from the grass on the lakeshore with their heads lowered to peck at insects.

The emperor finished coughing, cleared his throat, and then said in a low voice: "I'm sick, and I've been ignoring the government for three years, letting Heng'er do everything, but now I'm announcing you, He Zihuan, do you know why?"

He Gu folded his hands in front of his body, put his forehead against the back of his hands and kowtowed respectfully: "I am arrogant because of my favor, and my advances and retreats are inappropriate, which provoked criticism from courtiers and speech officials. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled lightly, but didn't answer his words, only said: "At the beginning...you sent troops without an order to return to Beijing to save you, and I pardoned you."

"I originally thought that although you had the meritorious service to fight the chaos with your father in Chenghe, and rescued him thousands of miles away, after all, you are still young, and you still need to sharpen your skills as a soldier. I don't want to think that I underestimated you."

"Li Qiushan has been in charge of the Twelve Guards of Xuanji for many years, and he only served in the defense of the forbidden center. You have a unique ingenuity. You have trained the Twelve Guards well in the past three years. You don't need Heng'er to bother, you know how to mobilize the guards of Teng Snake and Qinglong. , to clean up many moths for the court and Heng'er."

With a thud in He Gu's heart, he immediately replied in a respectful voice: "Chen... I only want to share the worries of His Royal Highness Ke, and I never dare to have any other thoughts. Sometimes I do things too carefully, and it is inappropriate to advance or retreat. In the future, I will definitely Reflect more, more..."

The emperor interrupted him lightly and said: "What's wrong with being more aggressive? All these years, by my side, this Da Yue has traveled thousands of miles, is there still a shortage of people who can make peace and practice Tai Chi? I will keep you by Heng'er's side. It's all about you."

He Gu was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect the emperor to change the topic and suddenly sang red face, he was a little confused, and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

He was about to ask a question, but the emperor suddenly said, "Zhonglu."

As soon as the words were finished, He Gu felt something "snap" falling in front of him. He raised his eyes and glanced at it from the corner of his eye, but it turned out to be a thick stack of folded papers.

The emperor's voice was very calm, but the words he said were like knives, and he said: "He Gu, now not only the officials from Yushitai are participating in you, but the manuscripts of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty are not more than eleven memorials. At least, your crimes are as big as beheading first and playing later, punishing officials ordered by the court, as small as riding a chariot for no purpose, disobedience and disrespect, all of which can be traced. One wronged you, right?"

"These memorials to you are added together, and it is not too much for me to kill your head eight times out of ten."

He Gu's throat choked, but he didn't speak.

The emperor looked down at him, and said lightly: "Why, aren't you afraid? Do you think that now that the queen and Heng'er are protecting you, I can't do anything to you?" He Gu: "..."

He had no choice but to say nonchalantly: "Chen... I naturally dare not."

The emperor smiled: "Everyone says you are only brave, but I see now that it is not the case. You are very smart, boy."

The emperor said: "Raise your head."

He Gu had no choice but to raise his head according to his words, and saw the dimpled and white-haired emperor staring at him for a moment with sunken eyes.

The emperor slowly took out a lacquered bamboo tube from his cuff, shook it, and there were two rustling sounds of paper rubbing against the bamboo tube.

The emperor said: "This is my own handwriting. It has been stamped with the seal. It doesn't need to be approved by the Political Council. As long as it is called, it will take effect immediately. Even if Heng'er inherits the Datong in the future, he will not be able to disobey this handwritten decree."

"You can guess what is written in this handwriting."

Even if He Gu is a fool, he now understands what the emperor meant. There must be nothing good in it, most likely it is an imperial decree to confiscate his family and kill his whole family.

The old emperor said lightly: "There is more than one copy of this thing. You don't have to guess where I put him. If I go, you will know what is written in it if you dare to have the slightest disobedience in the future."

He Gu hurriedly kowtowed, panicking, "I... I dare not."

The emperor paused, and said: "...Naturally, if you know how to measure, this handwritten letter will never see the light of day, do you understand?"

He Gu looked panicked and said: "I...I dare not forget, I have remembered them all in my heart."

It's just that Master He Xiaohou showed sincerity and fear on the surface, wishing to show his loyalty with tears flowing down his face, but he was very calm in his heart, it's really not surprising——

Without him, Pei Zhaoyuan and the old emperor are really father and son, even the usual tricks are the same, hit a stick and then give two jujubes, if he is really a stunned young man in his early twenties, now he is treated like this by the emperor Feinting a shot might really scare him off, but the prince in the previous life has come so many times, He Gu is completely immune, and there is no fluctuation in his heart.

After He Gu finished speaking, the emperor stopped talking, and remained silent for a while without saying a word.

He couldn't help but thumped in his heart, and wondered to himself, could it be that he accidentally revealed a little disapproval in his heart just now, and the old emperor saw the clues?

What a mistake, what a mistake...

He Guzheng was racking his brains to think of what to say, how to show his loyalty with tears, and make up for the old emperor's broken trust in him, but suddenly he heard the emperor say: "You will bring blessings into the palace tomorrow. Come on, I want to see this child."

He Gu was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't keep up with the jumping thinking of the emperor, he was a little confused.

Wang Zhonglu whispered beside him: "Commander He?"

Only then did He Gu come back to his senses, and hurriedly kowtowed to accept the order.

He received the decree and was sent away. The emperor looked at his back for a long time, and suddenly sighed slowly.

Wang Zhonglu didn't say much when he saw this, he just picked up a cattail fan from the small stone table next to him very obediently, stood beside the emperor and fanned it gently.

The emperor himself didn't hold back, and said, "Why don't you ask me why I sigh?"

Wang Zhonglu said with a smile: "This old slave is just a leg-beater and shoulder-pumper, he has no skills. His Majesty is the Lord of the World. How dare this old slave guess what His Majesty is thinking? How can I guess?"

He Gu's back had already disappeared at the end of the corridor, and he could no longer be seen. Only then did the emperor slowly move his eyes away, looking at the lake surface rippling with bright sunlight in the distance, and said somewhat disappointedly: "This man is getting old... If I have been ill for a long time, my heart will soften. If it was three years ago, I might not have kept him by Heng'er's side, but after these three years of illness, I have looked at Heng'er, at this child... I can't be cruel. Set your mind to it."

Wang Zhonglu said: "Your Majesty treats you mercifully. Commander He is young and energetic, so it is inevitable that there are some inappropriate things. After being beaten by His Majesty, he must know how powerful he is. He will assist His Highness King Ke well in the future."

The emperor was silent for a while, sighed lowly, and his voice was a little dry: "Maybe it's God's will...God...has the virtue of being good at life, I have...killed brothers and sons, fratricide, God will punish me all these years... , let me in my later years...lonely in my knees, let Arong also break up with me..."

Wang Zhonglu paused for a moment before fanning the wind, and said: "Your Majesty...you think too much. Now His Royal Highness Ke, doesn't he have Princess Fucheng? Besides, His Highness Zhong Wang is not married yet. In the future, the prince and princess will definitely meet I will add many little grandchildren, little princesses, and Ke to His Majesty..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, remembering that the concubines and maidservants that the emperor had sent to serve King Ke in the past two years were all sent back intact one by one, he stopped with a dry cough, and changed the subject: "Your Majesty Too much worry."

The emperor was silent for a moment, and said: "At first, I thought that these two children were just a novelty for a while. Looking at them all these years... Heng'er really pretends to be He Gu in his heart."

"I originally thought that I couldn't keep He Gu, no matter because He Gu's physique was different from that of an ordinary man and he was able to bear children, or because Heng'er fell in love with him so much, but in the past three years, I suddenly felt that I really am for what?"

The more he spoke, the more trembling and dry his voice became.

"Zhonglu, tell me... what is my purpose? How did I get here all these years... You watched all the way, I took one step, I thought about ten steps, counting little by little, walking step by step, I As if walking on thin ice, trembling with trepidation, I finally settled in this position..."

"I originally thought that I would protect A Rong, marry her legitimately, and make her the most honorable woman in the world, but in the end, A Rong and I became what we are now..."

"During those days when I was sick, I dreamed back at midnight, woke up with a cough, and saw A Rong sitting in front of the bed looking at me, so distant...so indifferent, she came to serve the sick, as if she was just doing her duty as a queen , I don't have any friendship with me anymore, do you know how I feel when I see her eyes...do you know..."

At the end of the emperor's speech, it didn't look like he was confiding to others, but he seemed to be talking to himself, rambling, but his voice trembled slightly.

"Did you know...A Rong...A Rong and Zhen are... already strangers, drifting away..."

Wang Zhonglu felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He has served the emperor all the year round, so he can naturally guess the emperor's mind, otherwise he would not be the one who stayed by the emperor's side for so many years, but he has never heard him say every word like this, which is almost mournful To expose the most vulnerable side of oneself.

Wang Zhonglu said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you are too tired, let's go back to the palace and have a rest?"

But the emperor turned a deaf ear, staring blankly at the lake with his cloudy eyes, and asked in a daze, "What is my reason...for what?"

Wang Zhonglu sighed secretly, turned his head and winked, and soon Zhai'er handed over a thin blanket.

The emperor slowly closed his eyes on the grand teacher's chair, and said in a low voice: "I thought... If I kill He Gu... then Heng'er will...be the next Zhen...?"

"I'm getting old... I'm getting old... I don't want to see Heng'er, and go my old way again..."

Wang Zhonglu slowly covered him with a blanket, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, rest."

-------------

Little girl Baoyin has always known that she has a grandfather who is an emperor.

However, Baoyin had seen the queen's grandmother, but she had never seen what the emperor's grandfather looked like, so she actually heard about it from others.

But today, Dad said that he would take her into the palace to pay his respects to the emperor's grandfather.

...Yes, it should belong to her grandfather, but when her father told her the night before, he somehow said it was her grandfather. Baoyin has always been a very inquisitive little girl, so she asked seriously Said: "Why is the Empress Empress a grandmother, but the Emperor is a grandfather?"

Daddy also seemed to notice that he had said the wrong thing, and he was obviously a little flustered. He seemed to be trying to fool her: "Eh... it's my grandfather, Daddy said it wrong."

Yes, according to Bao Yin's usual observations, Dad likes to fool her because she doesn't understand, and every time he fools her, his eyes will wander around like this.

Little girl Baoyin is a very considerate little girl, but she is also a very curious little girl, so she didn't expose the fact that her father was fooling people, but asked humbly: "The empress, who is Baoyin?" Grandmother or grandma?"

Dad said: "It's my grandmother."

Baoyin said: "The emperor and the empress are the father and mother of a beautiful father, and the father and mother of other people's fathers are both grandfathers and grandmothers. Why are Baoyin's father and mother the grandfather and grandmother?"

"..."

Dad was obviously at a loss for words, and the two sword eyebrows on his handsome face were twisted into a ball.

Baoyin successfully stunned Daddy.

In the end, Dad flicked Baoyin and made her brain collapse, and threatened her to go to sleep obediently, so that she could go to the place called the Imperial Palace with him tomorrow, and greet the queen's grandmother and the legendary emperor's grandfather.

Holding the bag on her little head that was ejected by her father, Baoyin fell asleep very aggrieved.

So, is it the grandfather or the grandfather?

The next day, before Baoyin woke up, he was dragged up early in the morning, changed into beautiful clothes, and was carried into the carriage by Uncle Zhengye.

Last night, when Baoyin was half asleep and half awake, she seemed to hear the voice of her beautiful father.

Daddy sleeps next door, and the voice of pretty daddy comes from daddy's room, so daddy and pretty daddy slept together last night.

Baoyin quickly figured out what was going on.

Pretty Daddy came home too.

On the carriage, Baoyin wanted to ask why her father's eyes were dark, but before she could say anything, her father rushed ahead of her and spoke seriously.

"When I met my grandfather today, be obedient, don't talk nonsense, and don't ask weird questions. Do you both remember?"

Daddy's expression is very serious, Baoyin knows that he usually shows this kind of expression, if he confronts him, he will soon get a headache, so he nodded obediently.

It was the emperor's grandfather who went to see him first.

The place where the emperor's grandfather lived was big and empty, and his father didn't know where he went. There were only Baoyin and a few sisters holding her in the whole house.

I couldn't find my father, Baoyin wanted to ask where my father had gone, but remembered that my father said that I can't ask random questions today, so I had to hold back, but when I couldn't see my father, Baoyin was a little nervous, and when I was nervous, I would get thirsty. So Baoyin asked the sister who was holding her for water.

Unexpectedly, Baoyin was nervous, but the sister who was holding her was even more nervous. Before the cup was handed to Baoyin's mouth, it fell to the ground and shattered.

Baoyin smacked his dry little mouth, looking at the broken cup with a bit of melancholy.

But the sister who dropped the cup seemed to be crying.

It's just a drop of a cup, why are you crying?

Of course, the little Baoyin girl who spends all day beating pots and bowls at home can't figure this out.

But she doesn't like to see pretty sisters cry, even if they are still not as pretty as pretty daddy.

"Why are you crying?"

Baoyin asked.

"This is... This is a glazed cup from the Western Regions. One was broken. The aunts in charge found out, and they will definitely not spare me..."

Baoyin doesn't know who the aunt in charge is, but guessing, it's probably similar to the father who wants to blow her brains out, right?

Thinking about it this way, Baoyin can understand why her sister is crying.

"I saw that there was an exactly the same cup just now, and I used it as a cushion, so my aunt won't find out that my sister dropped the cup."

Baoyin said.

The elder sister was obviously stunned, and said: "What, there is only one set of this cup, where is the Princess..."

Baoyin asked her sister to put herself down.

Then, with short short legs, he rushed to the bookshelf on the steps of the big house, climbed up the chair with all his strength, and took out a beautiful glass cup from a certain shelf of the bookshelf.

Baoyin happily ran back to her sister with the glass cup, but for some reason, those sisters seemed to have seen something frightening, and stared at the cup in her hand dumbfounded.

Baoyin was a little strange: "Isn't this cup similar in shape?"

The elder sister seemed to be stuttering in fright: "This... this belongs to His Majesty...Princess, please put it back before His Majesty comes back, otherwise, if His Majesty sees it, he will definitely punish him."

Baoyin remembered what Aunt Rong told her a few days ago——

Aunt Rong is an elder that Baoyin likes very much. The reason why she likes it very much is because she likes her two fathers the most.

Aunt Rong taught her a lot of fun things, she is a very powerful person, Baoyin has always believed in her, so she puffed up her small chest and took a deep breath: "No one will punish Baoyin, because it is not Baoyin. It was taken by Pei Shuangshuang!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I remembered what my father said to her yesterday——

Don't let others discover that He Baoyin and Pei Shuangshuang are alone!

Baoyin thought hard for a while, and suddenly he was so blessed that he tore off the double bun ribbons that had been tightly tied on his head, and said, "Sister, tie me a brother's hair!"

The little maid was at a loss.

The brain circuit of this little princess is really confusing...

Brother's hair?

The little maids looked at each other for a long time, and after a long while one of them finally understood what the little princess meant, patted his forehead and said, "What the princess means is to tie a boy's hair in a bun?"

Bao Yin thinks that this sister has a bright future, her peach blossom eyes are bent into two small crescents when she smiles.

The little maids couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Baoyin's gourd, but she was the princess, so she was obedient and obedient, and tied a sky-high braid for her——

Uh, it's not that they only choose ugly braids. In fact, children of this age also have sky-high braids, don't they?

...Don't say, the little princess is wearing a blue jacket with his father He Tongling today, but now that he has changed his hairstyle, he really looks like a boy doll.

But Baoyin stared at the water in the glass, his ugly hairstyle was printed upside down, and fell silent.

The emperor brought Wang Zhonglu in from the outside, and what he saw was this scene——

The milk doll who looks almost the same as Heng'er and Yu'er when they were young, and the Yingye glass cup in the hands of the milk doll—

That eight-year-old birthday gift that I had cherished for many years and was supposed to be given to Yu'er, but never had the chance to give it away.

One big and one small stare at each other, looking at each other in blank dismay.

After Wang Zhonglu saw clearly what the little princess was clutching in his hand, for the first time, a thin layer of sweat rose uncontrollably on his forehead, just as he was about to open his mouth to smooth things over, but it was already too late.The emperor's eyes stopped on Baoyin, and he said slowly, "You..."

But Baoyin finally came to his senses, raised his head and stretched out his chubby hand to hand out the glass cup, raised his head, blinked and looked at the thin old man in front of him who presumably was her emperor's grandfather, and said seriously: "It's really not Baoyin took it!"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if he should not take the initiative to mention his name——

The thin old man looked at him without saying a word, and Baoyin vaguely felt that something was wrong.

She was quick to wit, and hurriedly remedied: "Yes...it's Pei Shuangshuang!"

The emperor's mouth twitched.

The little maids next to her wished they could pass out immediately.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and said: "Pei Shuangshuang is
