Is the emperor cremated today?

Yu Qiao saw the boy looking at her coldly. Although she was a little surprised as to why he came here, she still asked someone to let him go, hoping that he could leave on his own. Unexpectedly, the boy did not leave, but said nothing. Standing there silently.

Yu Qiao had no choice but to say to the palace attendant who was holding him: "Go find the young prince's nanny and ask her to pick him up."

After speaking, he ordered Yu Hua to take the young prince to the side hall.

Hearing what Yu Qiao said, the young prince reacted. He glanced at the closed palace door behind Yu Qiao, and then followed Yu Qiao to the side hall.

Seeing that he followed him obediently to the side hall, Yu Qiao didn't take it to heart. She just thought that her grandma would come to take him back and it would be fine. She turned around and returned to the hall.

Xu Miaoyin said she was tired, but it was indeed because of her physical weakness that she slept until noon before waking up.

Yu Qiao supported her on the pillow and handed Xu Miaoyin the secret report sent by Ji Weiliang.

"Mother, this is the secret report just sent today."

Since Xiao Duo left, Xiao Qi would ask Ji Weiliang to report the recent information about Duke Rong to Xu Miaoyin every once in a while, and even gave Xu Miaoyin the shadows of the two families to facilitate Xu Miaoyin's investigation. There was nothing wrong at all. She hides her secrets.

Xu Miaoyin was also grateful in her heart, so she was extra attentive to serving Xiao Qi. Only in this way could she feel better.

Yu Qiao said: "My wife hasn't eaten anything all morning. I asked the kitchen to prepare squab. You can use some soup!"

Xu Miaoyin nodded, and then ordered: "Let Yushu send a cup to Qinzheng Hall."

Yu Qiao smiled and accepted the order.

Xu Miaoyin looked at Yuqiao's excited figure and shook her head helplessly. To say that the only one who really wanted her and Xiao Qi to be together now was probably Yuqiao.

After leaning a little, Xu Miaoyin fell into deep thought after reading the secret report.

Xiao Duo has left for almost a month, and Rong Guogong is still staying in Liyang. There is nothing unusual about Meng Juren's mother, so why does he stay in Liyang but does not take any action? Even Yujing is extremely calm. According to his dislike for Xu Miaoyin, it was impossible for him to watch her enter the palace and stay by Xiao Duo's side but hold back and do nothing. This was very incredible.

Xu Miaoyin was guessing about Duke Rong Guo's purpose when she inadvertently saw someone poking his head at the door of the dormitory, so he looked over intently, and the little head shrank back.

"Who is there? If you don't come out, I'll call someone." Xu Miaoyin raised her voice slightly.

Sure enough, the little head cautiously poked out and looked at Xu Miaoyin warily.

Xu Miaoyin is not used to so many people waiting in front of her. Most of the time, the palace people wait outside the palace. This child can appear here without being noticed. He must be smart. As for his identity, Xu Miaoyin After thinking about it for a while, I guessed it. I thought that this child was pitiful. He had grown up in the cold palace for so many years but no one found him. If Xiao Qi hadn't discovered him, who knows what would have happened in the future?
However, she was also a little curious. It was not easy for Xiao Qi to let Xiao Duo go with his ruthless temperament. How could he still tolerate the late emperor's son being raised in the palace?
Xu Miaoyin saw that although he was a little wary, his eyes were timid, so she smiled and waved him over.

"You don't have to be afraid. I have chestnut cake here. Do you want to try it?"

Xu Miaoyin picked up the chestnut cake on the side and smiled amiably.

The young prince looked at the chestnut cake in her hand and swallowed. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly walked to the bed, but refused to sit down. He just stared at the chestnut cake in her hand.

Xu Miaoyin looked at his longing eyes, guessing that he was hungry, so she handed it to him. The boy took it and started eating, finishing a piece of chestnut cake in a few mouthfuls. Xu Miaoyin was slightly surprised, how could this child look like this? As if she wasn't full, she picked up a plate of pastries and said to him, "Come, sit down and eat slowly."

The boy seemed to sense her kindness and put down his guard. He sat obediently on the drum stool beside the bed, staring at the cake in Xu Miaoyin's hand.Xu Miaoyin handed him the plate with pastries, and the boy took it and ate it with satisfaction.

Seeing that he was eating in a hurry, he told him: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

As soon as Xu Miaoyin finished speaking, the boy coughed and seemed to be choking. He stood up and walked to the table. He poured himself a cup of tea, raised his head and drank it. Then he turned around and walked back to the drum stool to sit down. This time I started eating slowly.

Xu Miaoyin thought the child was interesting, so she looked at him calmly until he finished the plate of cakes. He was drinking tea when Yuqiao came in with a jade painting holding soup, and saw the young prince sitting on the bed. While drinking tea, surprise flashed in their eyes.

Yu Qiao glanced at Yu Hua, but Yu Hua shook her head nervously. She clearly watched Aunt Liang take the young prince away, so why did she appear here?

Yu Qiao also knew that Yu Hua always took things seriously and would not make mistakes, so she walked to the bed to explain the reason to Xu Miaoyin and took the young prince down. His Majesty had ordered that the prince should not appear in front of the empress.

Yu Qiao was about to speak, but Xu Miaoyin interrupted her, "Yu Qiao, go to the small kitchen and see if there is anything to eat. If there is nothing, cook two or three dishes. This child seems to have not eaten."

Yu Qiao raised her eyes and looked at Xu Miaoyin. Seeing that she looked normal, she hesitated and answered.

Yu Hua handed the pigeon soup in his hand to Xu Miaoyin. Seeing the boy looking at her, Xu Miaoyin thought he wanted to drink it, so she handed it over. Unexpectedly, the boy shook his head and pushed the pigeon soup back.

"You are different from what I imagined. They all said that you are a demon concubine who deceives the monarch, but I see that you are very sick, and you are nothing like the demon concubine they said. Everyone's mouth is worth their weight in gold, so seeing it is believing. "

This was the first thing he said when he saw the boy. Unexpectedly, he said it like a young master. Although his tone sounded mature, he could not hide his childishness. Even after he finished speaking, he nodded as if he was sure. She agreed with what she saw, which made Xu Miaoyin laugh a little.

Xu Miaoyin smiled a little.

"What's your name?"

"Xiao Lin, my name is Xiao Lin."

Xiao Lin, this name is quite good. I originally thought that Xiao Qi would not treat this child well, but now it seems that he is indeed well raised, but just now he looked like he hadn't had enough to eat for a long time.

Xu Miaoyin asked doubtfully: "But someone treated you harshly? How could you be so hungry?"

Xiao Lin touched his head and said awkwardly: "Mama Liang said that eating too much would hurt the stomach and would not please His Majesty, so she always made me eat half full."

Xu Miaoyin frowned and said, "Aunt Liang is the one who takes care of you? Don't listen to her. You are still growing up. How can you only eat half full?"

As soon as Xu Miaoyin finished speaking, the palace attendants guarding outside came in and reported that Aunt Liang was looking for Xiao Qi.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

Logically speaking, Xu Miaoyin didn't want to interfere with these noisy affairs in the palace, but when she saw Xiao Lin's expectant eyes, she softened her heart and said to Yu Hua; "Go and tell Aunt Liang that Xiao Lin will stay here." I’ll eat here and take him back later.”

Yu Hua took the order and went out, while Xu Miaoyin looked at Xiao Lin who was sitting obediently aside.

After a long silence, Xu Miaoyin said with a smile: "You are really smart and know how to take advantage of my sympathy. You are very similar to your uncle in this regard."
