Your Majesty, this outer room is painting a pie for you again!

But as a qualified parent, Su Jiao certainly would not favor one over the other. She touched their little heads one by one and said with a smile: "Oh, you are really so well-behaved. You are so lovable just by looking at you!"

In their hearts, they have always claimed to be big kids, but being treated like this by Su Rao today, they were all extremely shy and excited.

The sparkling eyes made Su Jiao think of that warm-hearted golden-haired guy. Didn't he often look at her with such moist eyes?
Su Jiao seemed to be able to handle any problem, but when faced with the wet appearance of the child, she really had no idea what to do.

At that moment, Su Jiao cried out in pain and looked at the old lady as if asking for help.

"Madam, help me, they are so unpopular!"

After hearing what Su Jiao said, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the three children all had red cheeks and laughed shyly.

Su Jiao was just trying to liven up the atmosphere, but when she saw the children became shy, she stopped teasing them.

The children also knew that the adults had important matters to discuss. They were already satisfied just to see Su Rao and then left one by one.

Su Jiao looked at their departing backs, her eyes full of pride!

"These are all really neat!"

Why does it feel so weird to hear this?
Even Fu Yubai frowned and looked at Su Jiao at this time.

What on earth is Jiaojiao thinking about?
Why does it give people such a weird feeling?
The old lady understood this very well. After all, she was also a woman and had no resistance to cute children.

At that moment, the old lady smiled and said, "Do you like it very much? I like it very much too."

Su Jiao nodded vigorously!
There was a bright light flashing in his eyes, as if he had found a like-minded friend.

When Fu Yubai saw this, he looked confused, but respectful.

They are so happy, there must be a reason for them to be happy, and anything that makes them happy is a good thing.

If others saw Fu Yubai lowering his bottom line so low, they would be extremely shocked, but to Fu Yubai, it seemed all this was extremely normal.

After all, the main reason why the man worked hard was because he wanted to see his family's happy smiles, and now he can see the people he cherishes most happy, so he is naturally satisfied.

However, although she was happy, Su Jiao was never vague when it came to serious matters. So she started talking to the old lady about the affairs of the harem.

If you ask why Su Jiao told the old lady, I can only say that in Su Jiao's opinion, as a woman, the old lady would know more about the affairs of the harem.

They now had no better solution, so they could only turn to the old lady for help.

And the old lady couldn't help but frown after hearing what Su Jiao said.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Did Concubine De take the initiative to find you?"

"Ah."

Su Jiao nodded.

"I also feel this is a bit strange. After all, everyone knows what's going on in the harem, and... even if they ask, I always feel like this matter can't be asked to me."

But this is not the case.

In fact, Concubine De really found the fault on her own head.

It's no wonder that Su Jiao is so cautious. After all, if this situation gets out of hand, then all of them will be implicated. Naturally, Su Jiao has to be extra cautious.

But the old lady fell silent at this time.

Fu Yubai and Su Jiao couldn't help but look at each other at this moment, and they both saw a little hint of resentment in each other's eyes.

Is there something in this that they don't know?

Thinking of this, Su Jiao pretended to cough, and then asked carefully: "Um... Old Madam, is there something wrong?"

The old lady looked at Su Jiao, then at her silly son. Her expression was a little strange.

"You don't know Concubine De's background?"

It was obvious that these questions were directed at Fu Yubai.

After all, it’s normal that Su Jiao doesn’t know, but how could Fu Yubai not know?

After these words were spoken, Fu Yubai was even more confused.

But he still thought about it carefully and then shook his head.

"My son doesn't know."

Fu Yubai pondered for a long time, and finally confirmed that he really didn't know.

Su Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up!

There is gossip, there is gossip!

Su Jiao has always been at the forefront when it comes to things like eating melons, and the current situation seems to be very wrong, so Su Rao is very curious about the identity of Concubine De and why the old lady has such an expression.

Fu Yubai was also confused about this.

I really don’t know.

And Fu Yubai also didn't understand why.

Fu Yubai had never done too much research on Concubine De. After all, such a marginal figure in the deep palace could not arouse suspicion, even if her identity was the Fourth Concubine.

The old lady sighed.

But he did not blame his son. After all, Concubine De had always been cautious in doing things, so it was normal for her not to understand.

"When Concubine De was still in the boudoir, she discussed marriage with His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, but it ended in nothing. It's not your fault that you didn't know about it. After all, only a few people knew about it at the time."

After hearing these words, Su Jiao and Fu Yubai were both dumbfounded.

"What? Concubine De and Prince Xuan?"

Su Jiao was so shocked by this melon that she couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief.

Fu Yubai was also surprised. After a while, he said, "This matter... I don't know."

The old lady smiled.

"Otherwise, why do you think Concubine De has been out of favor for so many years?"

Although Li Yanji was a bastard and treated the women in the harem as tools, he was at least nice to his concubines. However, there was only one Defei, who was known as one of the four concubines, but Li Yanji rarely set foot in her courtyard over the years.

That's exactly why.

After all, how could such a proud man accept a woman who was almost engaged to his brother? And that woman was not only his brother, but also his enemy.

Therefore, with the superposition of these two buffs, the marginality of Concubine De can be explained.

After Su Jiao figured all this out, she couldn't help but think of another thing.

"Then... is this Defei Li Ronghao's person?"

If this is true, then they should be more careful.

The old lady shook her head upon hearing this, her face looking mysterious. (End of this chapter)
