Chapter 56
The emperor is unlucky
Fu Zhiyuan didn't want to deal with this stupid big brother. If he let someone catch a new member during the filial piety period, Prince Xiaoyao wouldn't be standing here today.
He concealed this matter, which was considered as wiping Prince Xiaoyao's ass.
"That's just..." Prince Xiaoyao scratched his head and said sheepishly, "I just couldn't help myself..."
"Brother, there are so many people in your backyard. Even if there is one person a day, it will take a month..." Fu Zhiyuan wanted to preach to him, but he always did it like this, fearing that he would not be able to bear it.
"Third brother, third brother! Stop it, stop it!" Prince Xiaoyao didn't want to listen to his preaching. In order to get a beauty, he said again: "This time, it will be the last time a new person enters my house!"
"Third brother, I want one!" Prince Xiaoyao stretched out his finger and made up his mind, extremely determined.
"Oh?" Fu Zhiyuan didn't believe his nonsense and thought it was a bit ridiculous.
However, he was curious, what was Prince Xiaoyao's intention?
"Third brother, do you still remember three years ago at the Marquis Mansion in Beiping?" Prince Xiaoyao looked excited. He had been counting the days in the past three years and was waiting for this day.
Fu Zhiyuan fell into memories, and that same year, Egret died.
That year, he lost the most important person.
It was also that year that the eldest brother in front of me fell in love at first sight with the concubine from Peiping.
She looks exactly like an egret, but to this day, he still feels that she is not as good as an egret.
No matter in appearance or inside, they all fall into the inferior category.
Fu Zhiyuan also didn't expect that Prince Xiaoyao still remembers this girl.
He clenched his fists and his face became cold. How could a face like an egret end up in the palace of Prince Xiaoyao?
Let him look at the same face as the egret and be affectionate and affectionate with Prince Xiaoyao?
He felt angry just thinking about it!
Can't.
Even if she is not an egret, she looks the same, so he can't give it to anyone else.
Neither Prince Xiaoyao nor anyone else can do it!
He felt extremely sad when he thought about a woman who looked like an egret being in love with another man.
Fu Zhiyuan couldn't accept it...
"I know." Fu Zhiyuan agreed on the face. If this matter might affect the harmony between brothers, he would have to consider it in the long term.
Anyway, it’s still early, so plan slowly.
Aunt Bai came to Zhang Anchu's room. A notice had been posted on the street that there would be a draft.
In the Hou Mansion, there are two young ladies of the right age, one is Zhang Anyi and the other is Zhang Anchu.
Both of them are going to be drafted into the palace.
"Chu Chu, stop reading and pack your things quickly. Madam Hou said that she should arrive in the capital early and set off tomorrow." Aunt Bai pulled Zhang Anchu up from the desk. Even at this time, she could still see.
Write a letter.
Aunt Bai is very panicked now. She has been waiting for this day for a long time and has been prepared for it for a long time. But on this day, she is still nervous.
There is also reluctance...
She felt that if Zhang Anchu left this time, she might not see him again for many years.
Aunt Bai never thought that Zhang Anchu would lose the election. Anyone who sees such a versatile beauty will fall in love with her.
"Auntie, don't panic, take your time." Zhang Anchu saw that she was panicking, so he comforted her to avoid confusion in the rush.
"Yes, Aunt Bai, we are here. The third lady is going to the capital, and she probably won't be back for a long time. Aunt Bai should just talk to her," Siyu advised.
Aunt Bai relaxed and thought of one more thing. Now that Zhang Anchu was leaving, it was time to talk to her.
"Then you just pack up here. Miss Third and I have something to say and go out for a walk." Aunt Bai said.
The wet nurse and Siyu knew that they were about to separate, and they would definitely have to say something private.
"Okay, you can go out for a walk together. Just leave this place to us."
The wet nurse sent the two of them outside the door, then turned back and continued to clean up and salute.
Aunt Bai took Zhang Anchu to the pavilion in the garden before stopping, and said to the maid Jinxin who was following behind her: "We have to talk privately, so you can go and guard over there."
Aunt Bai pointed to the camphor tree in the distance, and Jin Xin obediently walked to the tree.
Zhang Anchu didn't know what happened to Aunt Bai today. If she had anything to say, she actually wanted Jin Xin to stay away.
Jin Xin has been with Aunt Bai for many years and is also the person she trusts most.
"Auntie, what do you want to say?" Zhang Anchu asked doubtfully.
Aunt Bai looked into Zhang Anchu's eyes, which were like a pool of autumn water. She raised her hand and gently touched Zhang Anchu's face, her skin was white and tender.
Her eyes were covered with mist and she said, "I brought you here because I actually have something very important to say to you. You must remember it."
Zhang Anchu only thought that Aunt Bai was worried about her being in the palace and wanted to give some instructions.
"Auntie, just tell me. If I listen, I will definitely keep it in my heart and won't forget it."
Aunt Bai nodded lightly, as if remembering the suffering she had suffered in the past, and said with a bitter look on her face: "They all know that my aunt was born in a brothel, but they don't know why my aunt is in a brothel."
"Huh? Auntie, why are you talking about this?" Zhang Anchu wondered if there was something hidden.
"I still remember that day, my aunt took you to listen to a book, and I went to pay homage to my relatives. You came back and told me that the storyteller was telling the story of Prime Minister Liu Ming."
Aunt Bai looked at her, tears streaming from her eyes. Zhang Anchu had a hunch that Aunt Bai would not talk about this for no reason. She felt something was wrong that day.
"He is your grandfather." Aunt Bai endured the pain and said, "He is my father..."
Zhang Anchu was shocked, this is impossible...
"But his surname is Liu, and his aunt's surname is Bai!" Zhang Anchu opened his mouth to question, and then said: "Besides, Prime Minister Liu Ming, all nine tribes will be destroyed!"
"I take my mother's surname." Aunt Bai recalled the past and said: "In the past, there was a saying that when two boys were born, one had to get rid of one so that the other could be safe. A boy and a girl would be lucky, and twin boys were born.
Women are considered unlucky and will suffer natural and man-made disasters, so they must be eliminated as soon as they are born."
"How could there be such a statement? After all, she is her biological child, how could it be like this?" Zhang Anchu was in disbelief. She didn't know that there was such an outrageous statement in the world.
Aunt Bai nodded lightly and added: "My father was not convinced, so he asked someone to figure it out. The divination is even more strange. If the two girls are alive, they will be detrimental to the emperor."
"The emperor is in trouble? I don't know where to find this person. I think he is a liar!" Zhang Anchu was furious, but they were just two newborn children.
Being disadvantageous to the emperor is not just a casual talk. If the emperor finds out, won't he be beheaded?
"After all, my parents couldn't bear it, but they were afraid that the news would spread, so they sent me and my sister to a Taoist temple for foster care. They often visited us. This is why we escaped. After all, we were not included in any genealogy, and we were not in the mansion.
Lucky." Aunt Bai recalled the past, the bitterness on her face did not dissipate, and added: "Originally, this way I wouldn't end up in a brothel."
