After the divorce, my ex-uncle fell in love with me crazily

Chapter 118 The Purpose Is Lu Jiuyuan
"Let's go in and talk." Rong Niang took Tao Yao's hand affectionately and entered the front hall.

Heng'er followed closely behind.

"Heng'er has been begging me to take him out of the palace to find you, and I'm also curious about what the elder sister he said looks like. I saw her today, and she is indeed a beautiful person." Rong Niang looked at Tao Yao with a smile, and said between words Full of appreciation.

Tao Yao could feel that the other party liked her, but she thought it was because of Heng Er's relationship, so she didn't think much about it, "The courtier's wife is rough, so I can't be praised by the empress."

Rong Niang shook her head, "I'm telling the truth." As she spoke, she pointed to the dazzling array of gifts on the table and said, "These are all specially chosen for you, I hope you like them."

Tao Yao saw that there were ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, bird's nest and other supplements on the table, as well as high-quality cloth and gold and silver jewelry.

Each piece is rare and precious.

If it was in the past, Tao Yao would be very moved, but when she saw the beautiful face of the imperial concubine and Heng'er beside her, she paused, shook her head and declined.

"Many thanks to the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine, the minister's wife will not be rewarded for nothing, and dare not accept the reward from the empress."

Rong Niang was stunned for a moment, and then squeezed her hand tightly again, "Why is it useless? During the time when Heng'er was missing, it was thanks to you and the Duke's House for taking care of her, otherwise Heng'er..."

She didn't say any more, but there was a look of fear on her face.

"That's nothing more than a little effort, and the person who discovered the little prince was not the minister's wife, and the minister's wife dare not pretend to be credited." Tao Yao said.

When Rong Niang heard this, she paused, "I know, the person who found Heng'er was your nephew, but the person who took care of Heng'er was you."

Tao Yao still shook her head, "No, it's not the minister's wife who takes care of Heng'er."

"But no matter what, it's thanks to you and the Duke's Mansion that Heng'er is doing well now.

You can accept these things, Heng'er likes yours very much, some of them were chosen by Heng'er herself. "Rongniang's tone became a little anxious.

Tao Yao turned to look at Heng'er.

Heng'er was looking at her with her black eyes blinking, "Don't sister like it?"

"Thank you little prince, but my wife really can't accept these gifts." Tao Yao said unmoved.

Although she also likes the child Heng'er, but he is the prince after all, and the imperial concubine came suddenly today, and gave her so many gifts, she always felt a bit awkward.

Because the one who saved Heng'er was actually Lu Hao, the imperial concubine knew this well, but she didn't mention Lu Hao at all, and put all the credit on her.

She had to think a lot.

After all, behind her is Lu Jiuyuan who holds great power.

The imperial concubine treated her so enthusiastically, could it be for Lu Jiuyuan?
When there was a stalemate, Lu Hao suddenly ran in bluffing all the way.

"Heng'er, Heng'er..."

A smile immediately appeared on Heng'er's face, she turned around and trotted over to meet her.

"Brother Xiaohao..."

The two little guys hugged each other very happily, Rong Niang saw it, and said with a smile: "This kid must be Lu Hao, he and Heng'er get along pretty well."

Tao Yao nodded, "Lu Hao is an enthusiastic child." After that, she walked over and reminded Lu Hao, "Xiao Hao, I have seen the imperial concubine and the little prince."

Only then did Lu Hao let go of Heng'er, and politely knelt down to salute Rongniang.

Rong Niang hurriedly helped him up, touched his head and said, "Xiaohao is such a good boy, thanks to you for discovering Heng'er a while ago and bringing him back, I am very grateful."

"Brother Xiaohao, this is a gift that Heng'er chose for you." Heng'er picked up a box and handed it to him.

Lu Hao took it happily, "Thank you, Heng'er."

When he opened it and saw that it was a slingshot made of pure gold with a few bullets made of silver, he was so happy that he almost jumped up.

He couldn't wait to take out the slingshot, pulled Heng'er, and rushed outside.

"Heng'er, let's go bird hunting!"

Tao Yao just wanted to stop, but was stopped by Rong Niang, "It's okay, let them play."

Hearing this, Tao Yao couldn't say anything more, she was still thinking about the dishes in the pot, and she didn't know when the imperial concubine would be able to leave?

Seeing that she was absent-minded, Rong Niang asked with a smile, "Is it because I came at the wrong time today?"

Tao Yao came back to her senses and shook her head, "It's an honor for us to have the imperial concubine come to the Duke's Mansion, and it's too late to be happy."

"Really?" There was a smile on Rong Niang's face.

Tao Yao froze.

What she said was just a scene, why did she keep asking?

She felt that the imperial concubine was weird, but she could only nod her head, "Yes."

Rong Niang looked happy, and talked to her in a normal way: "Actually, Heng'er and I just returned to the palace yesterday, we are newcomers, we are not familiar with the people in the palace, and there are not many people who can talk to them.

So Yaoyao, can you come to the palace to chat with me more in the future to relieve boredom? "

Tao Yao was taken aback.

On the boat yesterday, after listening to the conversation between the emperor and Heng'er, she vaguely guessed that the mother and son Heng'er had been kept outside the palace by the emperor, and now she was even more certain after listening to Rongniang's words.

It is really strange that the emperor's woman does not live in the palace.

And as soon as she was taken to the palace, she was named the imperial concubine, which is enough to show her status in the emperor's mind.

But judging from the other party's experience, I'm afraid they don't have a strong background.

It might not be a good thing to be suddenly named imperial concubine.

Meeting the hopeful eyes of the other party, Tao Yao restrained her thoughts, and said tactfully: "Thank you for your kindness, but my wife is a boring person, and I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany the empress to relieve her boredom."

Although Heng'er is small, she is still a prince, and it is not suitable for everyone to get too close.

Although she didn't know much about government affairs, she knew that Lu Jiuyuan held a lot of power, and if he had anything to do with the prince, he might be deemed to be standing in line.

She didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for Lu Jiuyuan.

When Rong Niang heard this, surprise flashed across her eyes, and she couldn't help re-examining her.

The girl in front of her was only 15 years old, but she was born delicate and charming, and she was absolutely beautiful in the world, but nothing more than that.

And her eyebrows are lowered, she has the demeanor of her youth...

Rong Niang withdrew her gaze, pursed her red lips slightly, thinking lightly that she might have underestimated this child.

Although she is immature, she is not an idiot beauty who knows nothing...

It might not be that easy to start with her.

The smile on her face faded a little, she got up and said: "There are still some things in the palace, so I won't bother you, I'll go back to the palace first, next time, let's have a good chat."

Tao Yao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

If she doesn't leave, the meat stewed in her pot will burn.

She then got up and said: "The minister's wife respectfully sends the imperial concubine to the empress."

Listening to her alienated voice, Rong Niang felt a little lost, shrouded in her heart.

Seeing the girl's small face close at hand, she moved the hand holding the veil, as if she wanted to reach out and touch her face.

In the end, she gave up.

She nodded, walked out of the front hall, then pulled Heng'er who was having a great time with Lu Hao, and left the Duke's Mansion.

Heng'er looked back at Tao Yao and Lu Hao three times a step at a time, her mouth was flattened, and she was about to cry.

Tao Yao sighed and waved to him.
