Reborn Rongruo

"What? Are you still not happy?" Xuan Ye asked rather embarrassed.

Cheng De quickly calmed down, took the initiative to hold Xuan Ye's hand, nodded and said: "I believe you!"

Xuanye is a child after all, and he still doesn't know how to distinguish the truth from the words. He immediately held Chengde's soft little hand behind his back, and said happily: "I believe you too! I know you told me this story today because you are afraid that I will make friends randomly. Don't worry, I know what kind of people I can make friends with and who I can't make friends with! I never expected that everyone in the world could be my friend. I only like you and Li Xuan, and I won't like anyone else! "

"Brother, I didn't mean that—"

Chengde wanted to explain, but Xuanye already believed that Chengde was worried that he would ignore him if he had too many friends, and before Chengde finished speaking, he took the bait and promised: "From now on, I will put you Put it in your heart, take good care of you, and treat you as the closest and dearest person! Don't think too much, put me in your heart, take good care of me, and treat me as your dearest and dearest man, okay?"

While Xuan Ye was speaking, he came closer and rubbed his forehead affectionately against Cheng De's. Seeing Cheng De's dazed look, he covered his mouth and giggled.

Chengde sighed helplessly in his heart, and finally realized that communicating with children is not an easy task.No wonder teachers are respected by the world, presumably there must be such a relationship.

Because of this matter, the two of them nestled on the bed this afternoon, reading the books that Xuan Ye had learned one by one.Cheng De was worried that the two eunuchs would misunderstand his son, so he deliberately asked Xuan Ye some questions. Unexpectedly, Xuan Ye was able to explain clearly, and even analyzed some questions logically.

Cheng De felt at ease, and asked Xuan Ye if those two eunuchs taught them all, but Xuan Ye didn't nod, but said, some are, some are not.It turned out that Xuanye would write letters to the palace every month since he was practicing calligraphy. Originally, he wrote to Erniang and Huang Ama, but for some reason, it was his grandmother who wrote to him every time. Later, Xuanye simply wrote to his grandmother. When writing letters, I would ask some questions about my studies, and my grandmother would answer them patiently and encourage me in the letter.

When Xuanye said this, his face lit up, and he took out the box containing the letter to show off to Chengde.Cheng De was already secretly startled, he was not surprised by such an anecdote from the royal family, but by the shrewdness and artifice of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, the founding mother.Thinking about it, since Xuan Ye recovered from the acne, the empress dowager had decided to appoint him as the crown prince, and she didn't want people to see her intentions, so she secretly taught the empress and grandson herself without pretending to be human.And staying away from court battles and being in a safe place is not a bad thing for the young Xuanye.

Thinking of this, Cheng De broke out in a cold sweat.If he hadn't misunderstood the empress dowager's intentions, then the news that he was here would have already reached the empress dowager's ears. Not only that, it would not take long before Ama would know about it.Alas, fortunately, my legs and feet are inconvenient, so I don't have the opportunity to act rashly. Otherwise, if I pass on the news to my family, I will naturally be unable to escape the eyes and ears of the Empress Dowager.

That being the case, then let nature take its course.

Cheng De guessed right, since he entered the Jingqian Zhai for five days, that is, on the day of the outing festival, the empress dowager found something to do and called Nalan Mingzhu, the minister of internal affairs.

On this day, Mingzhu was originally Muxiu at home, but suddenly received the Queen Mother's order and was very panicked, so she hurriedly changed into court clothes, and followed the eunuch's eunuch into the palace.When Mingzhu saw the Queen Mother, she knelt down to salute, then bowed her head and waited quietly for orders.Unexpectedly, the queen mother did not speak for a full cup of tea.

Mingzhu was puzzled, and quietly raised her head to look at it, she was so frightened that she immediately knelt down.It was because the empress dowager looked at him too sharply, as if she wanted to see through him.Mingzhu prostrated herself on the ground, not daring to do anything wrong again.

The Empress Dowager then slowly put the teacup on the table, and said slowly, "Ming Zhu, I heard that there is a young master in your house who is called a child prodigy, why don't you bring him here and let me have a look?"

Mingzhu's heart trembled, and she hurriedly replied truthfully: "To tell you the truth, the servant's son was lost five days ago..."

"Lost it?" the Queen Mother wondered, "A good child, why did he lose it? Did he run away by himself, or was he carried away? Was he lost at home? Or outside? Mingzhu, Mingzhu, you If you can't even figure out how your own son was lost, how do you ask me to hand over the House of Internal Affairs to you, I believe you can figure it out?"

"Slave, I don't dare to think extravagantly! Slave is terrified! Empress Dowager!" Ming Zhu's thoughts changed, and she had already guessed that Chengde was probably settled, but the Queen Mother knew about it, so I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

"Okay, what are you thinking, don't I know? Get up!"

"I dare not, my slave! I dare not even have any unreasonable thoughts, I hope the Empress Dowager will learn from her!"

"I know you are loyal. If you hadn't been loyal, you wouldn't have offended others just to save the emperor a few hundred taels of silver! Alright, if you tell you to get up, get up, get up quickly, I will feel bad for you seeing you kneeling!" After speaking, the queen mother helped Mingzhu up herself.Then, looking at him, nodded.

"Okay, Nalan Mingzhu, you are a loyal minister! I thank you on behalf of the emperor! But, you have to listen to me about your son, do you understand?"

"Slave, it's all up to the Queen Mother to decide!"

"Okay! Listen, Nalan Mingzhu, your lost son was taken away by a prisoner who escaped from prison. This death row prisoner is a madman. He has nothing to do with you, Nalan Mingzhu. He has nothing to do with any minister in the court." It doesn’t matter at all! This death row prisoner abducted your son and threw your son into the Jingqian Zhai on Beichang Street on the way, but you don’t know about it, I don’t know about it, no one knows? Understand Is it?"

Seeing Mingzhu nodding, the queen mother continued: "Who lives in Jingqian Zhai, you should know that the little master likes your son and wants to keep your son with him - Mingzhu, you understand what I mean Is it gone?"

"Slave, I understand!" Mingzhu didn't dare to look up, her hands hidden in her hoof sleeves were clenched into fists and were still trembling. From what the queen mother said, he had figured out that the matter of erecting a stele account had offended Jin after all. Zhijun, this caused Chengde to be plundered, but it seemed that the Queen Mother meant to make him pretend to be stupid, as if there was no such thing.Now even though they know the whereabouts of their sons, the queen mother does not let them bring them back, just because the little master likes his son and wants his son to be his companion. Do you want him to keep silent?So what is Cheng De there?Alas, have pity on my Chengde...

The queen mother glanced at Mingzhu again, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, after one year, your son will still be your son, and my grandson will still be my grandson. As long as the emperor accepts his heart and all the illnesses in Chengqian Palace are cured, the Qing Dynasty will still be strong." Daqing, we still have to live a peaceful life!"

"Yes, yes, the slaves are all in the hands of the ancestors!" Mingzhu insisted, but she didn't dare to ask a word with all kinds of doubts in her heart.

"Okay, don't be nervous, just now I was just chatting with you and talking about my thoughts, but some things can only be known by you! You are a smart person, do you understand?"

"Understood! The servant understands!"

"That's all right. From tomorrow onwards, you will be the head of the House of Internal Affairs. I will entrust you with the management of the royal family. Don't let me down, old woman? Ha ha!"

"Slave, thank the Empress Dowager for your grace!!" Mingzhu hurriedly kowtowed and saluted.

"Excuse me, that's it, let's go! Remember what I said, God knows, huh?"

Mingzhu quickly agreed and withdrew.

After Mingzhu went out, the queen mother called her confidant maid and said: "Keep an eye on Chengqian Palace, and report to me immediately if there is any progress in the imperial doctor's side, and see if the disaster can last for a few days!"

The author has something to say: PS:

1. Mingzhu served as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the third year of Kangxi, and some changes have been made here.

2. The "disaster" mentioned by the Queen Mother here refers to Concubine Dong E. Shunzhi only loved Concubine Dong E, and only the fourth elder brother born to Concubine Dong E was in his eyes. Until the death of the fourth elder brother, Shunzhi still said, "I only have this one son in my life."Therefore, Xuan Ye in this period was very pitiful.

3. Nalan Chengde didn't get the name Xuanye, but he got it in a hurry when Shunzhi got smallpox and was about to die when he decided to make a prince.It can be seen how neglected Xuan Ye was before that!
