Early in the morning of the next day, Wan He set off directly from Wanfu and went to the imperial palace to meet the emperor. Now Wan He was no longer the ordinary merchant's son. Who in the palace didn't know that Wan He was a famous person in front of the emperor. Dare to stop him, he just went through the process and then put Wan He into the palace respectfully.
During this period of time, Wan He often ran to the palace. He was already familiar with the palace. After entering the palace, Wan He rushed directly to Guande Hall. After being in contact with Yang Guang for such a period of time, Wan He , Wan He also discovered that in fact Yang Guang was not at all as dissolute and immoral as the rumors in history. Although he could not be said to be diligent, he could be regarded as conscientious. At this time, Yang Guang must have been up to handle government affairs in Guande Hall.
There is quite a distance from the palace gate to Guande Hall. The court robe worn by Wan He is heavy and cumbersome. It is really inconvenient to walk. After walking for a long time, we only walked half of the distance. , and Wan He himself was already out of breath from exhaustion, so he simply found a stone pillar nearby to sit and rest.
Looking around, Wan He gasped and murmured in his mind that the palace was too big. If Comrade Yang wanted to communicate with a concubine, he would be exhausted. , Comrade Lao Yang, isn’t he looking for his own fault?
Just when Wan He was muttering to himself, suddenly, Wan He felt something tugging at the hem of his clothes behind him. Wan He turned his head subconsciously and saw that at some point, there was a figure behind Wan He. I met a little boy. When I saw this little boy, he was about seven or eight years old. He had a tiger-like appearance, but he was very cute. And for some reason, Wan He always felt kindhearted when he saw this little boy. Wan He couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw this little boy who looked pink and chubby, but was wearing the clothes of a chamberlain.
Such a young child was sent to the palace to be a eunuch. Tsk, how pitiful, what did the child's parents think? Such a lovely son was willing to be thrown into the palace. Thinking of this, Wan He I felt more and more pitiful for the little boy. When I turned around, I bent down and said to the little boy: "My child, why are you hiding here alone?"
The little boy also looked at Wan He in confusion, his big eyes blinking, and finally said timidly: "I, I, I want to leave here,"
Hearing the little boy's words, Wan He felt sour again. It seemed that this child had just been sent to the palace not long ago. He didn't know that he was thrown into the palace by his parents, but he still wanted to go home. , What a pitiful baby. It’s a pity that Wan He is just a little marquis, and he is not a child of the royal family. He can’t use a servant in the house. Otherwise, Wan He will definitely take this little boy out and take him to Wan Mansion for good treatment. Take care of him. Thinking of this, Wan He couldn't help but pick up the little boy and put him on the stone pier where he just sat. He said: "Child, you must be careful in the palace. Don't run around. It's easy." The one who causes trouble, you know?"
Wan He's words were obviously a little difficult to understand for the little boy. The little boy tilted his head cutely, with confusion on his face. However, when Wan He finished speaking, the little boy nodded his head vigorously and said: "I know, there are bad people in the palace, mother told me,"
"Oh," after hearing the little boy's words, Wan He immediately guessed that it seemed that the little boy's mother was very good to him. The one who sent the little boy to the palace was probably the little boy's father. , Thinking further, Wan He immediately imagined a tragic ethical tragedy in his mind, but when the little boy saw Wan He's face, he was filled with grief for a while, and then shook his head and sighed. The little boy's face Shang was even more confused. He didn't know why the strange uncle in front of him had so many expressions. After a long time, Wan He finally emerged from the ethical drama world he had conceived. Finally, he looked at the little boy and said with a smile: " Well, brother, I have to go do something very important. You'd better go back quickly. Don't let anyone catch you and escape, otherwise you will be bullied. Be good,"
The little boy finally understood Wan He's last words, and finally nodded vigorously, waved his hand to Wan He, and said, "Uncle, thank you,"
Bang Dang, the little boy's words almost made Wan He fall down. Then he looked at the little boy with a bit of resentment, and then said solemnly: "Kid, remember, people who look mature may not necessarily You are older, you know, so I am the elder brother, remember, be good,"
"Well, I remember, uncle," obviously Wan He's deception could not change a little boy's view of right and wrong, so the little boy still stubbornly shouted out this title that made Wan He very sad and angry. Hearing the little boy's words , Wan He could only hide his face in grief and anger and ran away.
Seeing Wan He running away, the little boy was still standing on the stone pier, looking at the direction Wan He left with a curious expression, as if he was still expecting Wan He to turn around and talk to him. But unfortunately, the little boy That uncle sentence really hurt Wan He's fragile heart, so Wan He never came back. The little boy waited for a long time, and in the end he could only squat on the stone pier with his mouth pouted.
"Gao'er," at this time, a soft female voice came from not far away, and in the other direction, more than ten figures were slowly approaching. The one at the front was a tall, tall man. The woman in palace clothes, but seeing that this woman's appearance was actually that Concubine Xiao who had a relationship with Wan He, she saw Concubine Xiao slowly walking to the side of the little boy with the maids and chamberlain behind her. , shouted softly: "Gao'er, why did you come here?"
After the little boy saw Concubine Xiao, his big eyes blinked several times, and his pouty mouth immediately retracted. He stood on the stone pier and stretched out his hands towards Concubine Xiao, shouting Said: "Mother, mother,"
Looking at the little boy, a smile broke out on Concubine Xiao's face, which added a bit more beauty to her appearance. Concubine Xiao took a step forward, hugged the little boy directly, and at the same time took out a bag from her waist. She gently wiped the sweat on the little boy's forehead with a silk scarf, and said with a smile: "You child, it really makes my mother worry. You are so good, why did you put on these clothes again? If your father sees this, but You will be punished,"
The little boy grinned, showing two rows of snow-white teeth, showing his cleverness and cuteness, and said: "Mom, Gao'er wanted to go out of the palace to play with Sister Yuerong, but Sister Yuerong ran very fast and disappeared all of a sudden. , Gao'er has been looking for Sister Yuerong for a long time, but she can't find her."
Hearing what the little boy said, Concubine Xiao smiled and said: "Gao'er, your sister Yuerong has to get your father's approval before you can leave the palace. You are still too young and you don't have the palace guards to accompany you. Sister Yuerong." Naturally, I won't take you out, but if Gao'er wants to go out to play, then you have to tell your mother that next time you will let Aunt Zhang and the palace guards take you out, okay?"
The little boy was not satisfied with Concubine Xiao's proposal. He pouted again and hummed: "I don't want Aunt Zhang to accompany me. Every time Aunt Zhang accompanies me out of the palace, she just takes me around the palace gate." It’s not fun at all to come back in one lap and not let me touch anything,”
After hearing the little boy's words, Aunt Zhang who was behind Concubine Xiao couldn't help but laugh or cry. In the end, she could only kneel down towards the little boy in Concubine Xiao's arms and said: "Forgive me, little prince. This is for the safety of the little prince." For the sake of thinking, the young prince is rich in gold, how can he touch the dirty things outside the palace casually? If something happens to the young prince because of this, how can I afford it?"
"Okay, Nanny Zhang, I also know that you are loyal, please get up." Concubine Xiao just waved her hand and asked Nanny Zhang to stand up. For this Nanny Zhang, it can be said that Concubine Xiao is here. Of course the most trusted person in the palace would not punish her, but Concubine Xiao thought for a while and said to Aunt Zhang: "Aunt Zhang, since Gao'er wants to go outside the palace to see the excitement, you can do it next time Take him farther away. Anyway, with the palace guards accompanying you, nothing will happen. After all, Gao'er is a prince, not a child of an ordinary family. If he doesn't even know what it's like outside the palace, how can he do anything for him in the future? His father shares his worries,"
"Old slave, I know," since Concubine Xiao said so, Nanny Zhang would naturally not disobey her, even if she just agreed.
The identity of this little boy is now coming out. Yes, this little boy is the youngest son of Emperor Yang Guang, King of Zhao Yang Gao. In fact, Wan He and this Yang Gao had a relationship. That day Wan He was killed by someone. He was framed and almost accused of voyeurism. Later, thanks to Concubine Xiao's wit, the danger was saved. It was at that time that Wan He met Yang Gao once and even hugged him. However, Wan He was dressed as a woman at that time. In order not to After being spotted by others, he deliberately lowered his head and did not look at Yang Gao more than once. In addition, Yang Gao was now wearing the clothes of a servant, so Wan He did not recognize Yang Gao. As for Yang Gao, because of his age He was too young, so naturally he couldn't remember Wan He, whom he had met briefly half a year ago.
With the help of the maid next to Concubine Xiao, little Yang Gao quickly changed back into his own clothes, and immediately transformed from a little chambermaid back to a dignified prince of the Sui Dynasty. Concubine Xiao looked around and finally expressed her satisfaction. He nodded, stretched out his hand for little Yang Gao to hold him, and then nodded to Nanny Zhang behind him. When Nanny Zhang saw her, she immediately shouted in a high voice: "Your Majesty, come back to the palace," as Nanny Zhang said this As soon as he shouted, the more than ten people present also turned their heads and walked in the direction they came from under the leadership of Concubine Xiao. Only little Yang Gao looked back with nostalgia as he walked, as if he wanted to see Let’s see if that weird uncle will come back.
