"Go and call me the kitchen manager," the prince said.

After a while, Mrs. Su came over in fear. The master was so anxious but didn't say what was going on. She thought about it over and over again and didn't realize what she had done. She felt very confused and nervous...

"Greetings to all the masters..." Granny Su was really frightened by the people in this room, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Get up!" the prince said, "I have something to ask you."

"Yes" Mrs. Su responded
"There is a girl, the one born in the first month of the first month by my maid Lian'er, but is she at your place?"

Mrs. Su's heart tightened when she heard the prince's question, she didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse, why did she suddenly ask about the poor boy, and the master didn't want to mention it?Why are you asking yourself now?Mrs. Su didn't know how to answer so as not to get into trouble

"Back...back to your lord, that child has indeed been working in the kitchen these years."

"Is she...is she okay?" the prince asked

"Ah?" Mrs. Su didn't understand what the prince was asking. "Okay... okay?"

"You go and call her here," the prince said, "I have something to say to her"

"Go back to your lord, she is not here right now..."

"What?" asked the third lady, "What do you mean by absence? Did you let her run away?"

"Back to the third lady, why is she running away for no reason? She asked me for leave and said she was going to visit relatives"

"Where does she have any relatives? Where did she go to see relatives again?" the third lady asked

"I don't know, I've been gone for more than a month, maybe I'll be back soon." Mrs. Su arrived

"Then you go back first. When the child comes back, you can come back to me immediately." The prince arrived

Mrs. Wang was a little panicked when she heard that the pauper was not here, "What should I do now that she is not here?"

"Why are you so anxious, sister?" the third lady said. "First I asked the prince to go back to the emperor and said that he had chosen the most virtuous and virtuous young lady in the family. I just raised him so old that I couldn't bear to part with her. I wanted to spend a few more days with her. Your Majesty is considerate." I won’t rush you”

"That's fine! That's all." The prince said, "What's the child's name?"

"Call the pauper" The third lady has arrived

"Which one is poor?"

"It's poverty, poverty..."

"What is this name? Who named it?"

"I gave her to her," the old lady said. "She was very unlucky when she was born, so I threw her into the well. It's just that the old god said she was afraid of damaging my good fortune, so I just wanted to keep her life." Blessed is she, she even came to ask me for a name, so I gave her a name casually, who would have thought that she would be here today?"

"How can I go back to the emperor with a name like this?" The prince was a little confused. After thinking for a long time, he thought, "Then let's stick to this pronunciation. Let's change her word..."

Three northwest, Taixu Taoist Temple

Pao'er and the other four people were tired from traveling for days and rode a carriage for seven or eight days before arriving at Daliang City. After asking several people, they found the Taixu Taoist Temple in the city. Unexpectedly, this Taoist temple was actually in the city. The most prosperous street in the city is the Royal Taoist Temple, so it is very close to the Northwest Palace. The Taoist Temple is not only located in the bustling market, but also very prosperous in itself. The mountain gate is towering, there are five courtyards, the houses are all carved and painted, and the main hall has three main halls. The clear Dharma is painted with gold and silver, it is tall and solemn, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going to offer incense, ask for fortune sticks, and pray for blessings...

Several people stood at the door of the main hall and looked a little dumbfounded. "Uncle Master, this Taoist temple is much better than Qingfeng Temple."

"Cough! Cough!" Master Sanyang cleared his throat, "From now on, this place will belong to your uncle!"

"Old Taoist Master, does it seem like you have become rich?" Laibao asked.

When a Taoist priest saw them standing there in a daze, he came over to say hello, "Infinite Heavenly Lord! Is there anything I can do to help you, the Immortal Priest, and the blessed masters?"

"Little Taoist Master, please be polite." Tiedan'er saluted and said, "This Taoist Master is my uncle, Master Sanyang. He is the person who will succeed the master of this temple. Please tell me, Little Taoist Master."

"Infinite Heavenly Lord, it turns out that the master's uncle is here. We have been waiting for a long time. I didn't expect that the master will only arrive today. Please come to the quiet room for tea. The acting master is meeting a distinguished guest. Please wait for a moment. "

The four of them followed the little Taoist priest to the quiet room to rest. They had already drank two cups of tea but the head master had not come over yet. Lai Bao was impatient with the wait and pestered Pao'er to go out with her for a walk. Pao'er couldn't resist her. , I can only tell Master Sanyang to bring the treasure out and walk around in the temple.

Pao'er and Lai Bao unknowingly lost their way while walking and looking around, and walked into a garden in a daze. Although it was not very big, it contained pavilions, waterside pavilions, rockeries, ponds, flowers and trees, and all the things that should be there. of
Seeing this beautiful scenery, the two of them forgot about getting lost and started playing happily in the garden.

Lai Bao was even more happy. He caught butterflies in the flowers, grasshoppers on the lawn, and finally rolled up his trousers to catch frogs in the lotus pond...

When the poor boy looked around, he found a guqin in the pavilion beside the lotus pond, so he walked over and played the guqin in response to the beautiful scenery in the garden.

Although Sanyang Zhenren is usually so out of tune, he is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. As the only master of Sanyang Zhenren, Paoer naturally has the true inheritance. The sound of the piano is melodious and graceful, which is very moving...

At this time, the two people in the garden were so focused on playing that they did not realize that they had attracted the attention of someone in the distance. That person was the distinguished guest that the acting head brother saw as mentioned by the Taoist Priest.
"Sister, look." Laibao folded a lotus and held it in his hand, "Look, how beautiful is this lotus?"

"Be careful near the water. The rocks there are slippery. Be careful of falling into the water." Pao'er stopped stroking the piano in his hand and walked towards her.

"Come here quickly!" Paoer stretched out his hand to pull Laibao
"Sister..." Lai Bao wanted to walk ashore but found that there were smooth rocks all around, and her feet would slip if she moved a little. I don't know how she walked over in the first place.
Seeing this, the poor boy also took off his shoes and rolled up his trousers to his knees, revealing a pair of straight and white calves. "Laibao, don't move. My sister will come and pick you up."

Paoer came to Laibao and carefully supported and pushed her ashore to a safe place.
Seeing that she was on the shore, she breathed a sigh of relief, so she raised her feet to go ashore. Unexpectedly, her feet suddenly slipped and she fell backwards. At the critical moment, she saw a man in Tsing Yi suddenly running over from a distance. , grabbed the pauper by the waist and hugged him, but he came a little late and did not catch the pauper in time. The two of them fell into the water...

In an instant, the calm lotus pond was stirred up by huge waves due to the intrusion of the two of them. Even though the man fell into the water, he did not let go of the hand holding the poor boy. The poor boy was shocked when he fell into the water. , she was still unsteady on her feet. When she saw someone grabbing her, she threw herself into that person's arms. She waited for a long time without daring to move.
"Are you okay?" The man acted particularly calmly when the beauty suddenly threw himself into her arms.

When the pauper heard his question, he realized that he was hugging a man tightly, so he hurriedly stepped back. However, there was too much mud at the bottom of the pool, and he almost fell down before taking two steps, so he could only hold on to the man again. man
"I...I'm fine...I..." The poor boy didn't know what to say in a panic

The man who pulled her was not in a hurry to go ashore, but just stared at her thoughtfully. The poor man looked a little embarrassed and said, "What are you looking at?"

"Didn't you look at me too? There are only you and me in this pool, otherwise what would you ask me to look at?"
