Poor children

Chapter 100
一
When the fourth prince came back from court at noon, Chengzhe immediately came over to say hello.

"You have been studying in the northwest for many years and don't come back often. I see that you are quite successful, but you don't know how about martial arts and strategy?" The fourth prince Hongshun was talking to Chengzhe, who had just returned, in the main hall of the mansion.
"Replying to my father, although my son is stupid, he still works hard. I can't say how diligently he studied, but he has made some progress." Chenghe stood in the middle of the ground with his hands hanging down and answered humbly.
"You are the most talented among my children. Although your brother is also good, he is too soft-hearted in doing things and cannot achieve great things. Chengda is also weak and sick. You are the only one who seems to be a capable person."

"The child will definitely live up to his father's ardent expectations..."

"Did you bring the poor boy back?" the prince asked, holding up the tea bowl.
"Last time I received a letter from my father telling me to escort her back. Naturally, I didn't dare to neglect her. Now I have settled in the backyard," Cheng Zhe said.
"Go yourself and ask her to come over. I want to talk to her."

"Yes……"

Pao'er and Lai Bao were packing their luggage in their room. Pao'er took out his clothes from the baggage and prepared to put them in the cabinet. When he shook a little, a navy blue men's square kerchief fell out from it.
The poor boy picked up the handkerchief and held it tightly in his hand. This handkerchief was given to her by Tianxing when she rescued her mother-in-law who had fainted in the northwest that day. I don’t even have a son with me

Pao'er doesn't understand why she always tries so hard to forget, but there is always something reminding her not to forget...

"Sister..." Laibao pulled her gently
"Ok?"

"The old Taoist asked me to give this to you when I come back." Laibao took out the crested bead string in his arms.
Paoer reached out to take it and put it on his wrist, "I almost forgot about it..."

"What's on your mind, sister?" Laibao took the clothes from the poor boy's hands and continued to sort them out.

"No, I'm going to deliver some dried fruit preserves to the ladies in the kitchen. You can go ahead and pack them up." The poor boy picked up a few bags of specialties brought back from the northwest and went to the kitchen.

"Look, who is back!" When the cooks saw the poor boy coming in, they hurriedly gathered around him.

"Greetings to you ladies..."

"Good girl, you are back and you miss us so much."

"I brought back some special products from the Northwest for the old ladies." The poor boy distributed what he had with them
"It's so far away, please think about it." Several cooks happily accepted the gifts.
"Hey! Girl, you're back!" Mother Su came in from the outside at this moment.
"Mother Su!" Pao'er leaned over and bowed.
"Oh! It can't be done! It can't be done! My girl, you have suffered so much these years, and good times are about to come this time. Don't take it personally if your mother did something wrong to you in the past... "Mother Su said, holding the poor boy's hand.
"Where did mother say that?"

"Nothing...nothing" Su's mother laughed
"Poverty, I was just looking for you, and you happened to be here." Chengzhe was passing by the kitchen and planned to go to the backyard to find Poverty, but he happened to see Poverty in the kitchen.

When the poor girl saw Chengzhe calling her, she said goodbye to everyone in the kitchen and came out.

"Father wants to see you, come with me quickly..." Chengzhe arrived
"That's your father, not mine."

"Okay, okay, my father wants to see you, will you go?" Chengzhe asked

"I don't want to think about it, so I have to make the decision!"

"Then let's go, sister!" Chengzhe took the poor boy's hand and said, "Dad is not yours. You still have to recognize your brother. You can't be too ruthless."

"Why? I will show you my ruthlessness."

Four "greetings to the prince" the poor child entered the main room and bowed down

"Without courtesy, come in," the prince said

The pauper stood up and walked a few steps forward. He stopped there and met the prince's eyes.

The poor boy's appearance reminded the prince of many past events, "You look very similar to your mother. I still remember her appearance, but your facial features look a lot like mine. You are also nineteen this year, right?"

"I don't know why the prince called me here." The poor man didn't want to talk to him.

The prince also understood what she meant, "There is something difficult that only you can do right now? I want to ask what you mean..."

"Please show me"

"His Majesty, the Emperor Hong En, wants to recognize our girl as a adopted daughter. I know that you have endured hardships here over the years, and we also have our own difficulties. Look at my arms." The prince said as he rolled up his left sleeve. The burn marks on the large area are really eye-catching. "I almost went with your mother that time. I have neglected you for so many years. Don't blame me. I have to take care of this family."

After hearing what the prince said, the pauper was very moved. She actually took two steps forward, knelt at the feet of the prince, and gently stroked the wound on his arm. Her face was filled with self-blame, as if she had done something wrong. What

The prince also caressed the poor boy's head, tears streaming down his face...

"I will do whatever you ask me to do. I just hope that you will be healthy and safe in the future..." The pauper arrived
The prince could not help but nod when he heard the words, "Good boy, good boy, I'm sorry for you!"

"Don't say that. Living well is better than anything else."

The prince's tears couldn't stop. Chengzhe beside him had already started crying. "Father, don't blame my sister. She is not a hard-hearted person. It's just that she hasn't cried since she was a child..."

"I know, I know." The prince pulled the poor boy up and sat next to him, "I'm sorry for you..."

"Stop talking, I don't dare to slow you down, but I am willing to do anything for you."

"You and I both understand in our hearts, and so do I," the prince said, "Are you willing to enter the palace? You also want to marry to the northwest on behalf of the princess. I won't force you. What do you think?"

"I'm going. I understand the stakes involved. As long as I can save you, even the poor man is willing to go on your behalf," the poor man said.

"On behalf of more than a hundred people in this mansion, I would like to thank you in advance." The prince actually got up from his chair and was about to kneel down to the poor boy, and the poor boy knelt down with him.
"Stop saying thank you, I'm very happy to be able to do something for you."

"You move in and stay in the mansion for a few days. After your brother gets married, I will send you to the palace in a beautiful way. On an auspicious day, Northwest will come to marry you." The prince arrived
"Father" Seung Chul wiped away his tears "Tell my sister to live in our yard"

"Well! Your mother has the best temperament. It's good to live in your courtyard. She will definitely take good care of the poor child." The prince took the poor child's hand again and said, "You go to live in Chengzhe's mother's courtyard. If there is anything inappropriate, just let it go." Come to me, by the way! I also changed the word 'poor' in your name to a word with the same pronunciation."

"What's the word?" asked the pauper.

"I often think of the scene when I first met your mother recently. Her quiet look is like a poem, 'More romantic places, a little plum heart, contrasting far away, slightly frowning and smiling lightly.' Just like her, your My mother's personality was always so light. She was sold into a wealthy family because of her poor family, and there was always some sadness on her face. However, she had a tough personality and was kind to others. She was always willing to smile at others, which made her look particularly different. , in order to commemorate your mother, can I give you the word '馦'?" the prince asked.

At this age, this was the first time that the poor girl heard someone talking about her mother. She felt sad in her heart. She was speechless for a moment and could only nod lightly.
