Glory all the way

Chapter 215
Bai Yingluo recalled that day when he was talking about Bangcheng with Huang Wenbin, he had inadvertently mentioned that the villagers in Zhuangzi not only included local people, but also a small number of people drifted from distant islands.

Those people have shoulder-length curly hair and glazed eyes. At the beginning, they were regarded as monsters in the sea by fishermen.

Of course, what you said about drifting was all from the grandfathers. Nowadays, the village no longer has such obvious foreign characteristics, but the children born to those foreign people and local women have retained their special curly hair and Glass-colored eyes, nowadays, these characteristics are no longer called weird. On the contrary, the children born of intermarriage are handsome and elegant young men, and smart and charming young girls, which are beyond the reach of local men and women.

At this moment, listening to Master Yao's description of the appearance of the twin sisters who are different from ordinary people, Bai Yingluo asked curiously: "Where did they get picked up? Both the prince and the princess have the heart of a bodhisattva, don't they think of taking care of the children?" Looking for biological parents?"

Master Yao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Before the two children were brought back, the lord and the concubine communicated that no one was allowed to express curiosity about the two children, and also, no one was allowed to inquire about the children's background in private. The concubine said, The two children will belong to the palace in the future, and anyone who dares to gossip in private will be dragged out and sold."

On the one hand, she lamented that the two children had lost their lives and lost their biological parents when they were born. On the other hand, she lamented that their fate was good. After meeting such kind-hearted people as King Nanyang and Princess Nanyang, Bai Yingluo sighed and said, "It's unfortunate , but now, it can be regarded as God's compensation for them. With the care of the prince and concubine, their life is probably smooth and healthy."

After hearing Bai Yingluo's words, Master Yao's face suddenly showed a trace of regret, "It's pitiful, those two children are actually a pair of mutes, they can only understand what others are saying, what's in her heart, But it can’t be said.”

Bai Yingluo froze in astonishment.

It's just a bad fate, isn't it?
"What about now? What's the situation in the Nanyang Palace? It's the first time for the two children to come back to the capital, right? When they arrive at the Palace, can everything be adapted?"

Bai Yingluo asked with concern.

Once she has a body, she will be a mother. Bai Yingluo's mind is a thousand times more delicate than before. When she thinks of such a thing happening to two young children, she feels as uncomfortable as a mother.

Master Yao said with a wry smile: "The servants in the deep house, there are those who are kind, and naturally there are also those who are hateful. Nowadays, there are naturally all kinds of people. However, with the prince and concubine here, those who don't like it If you hear it, you can just pass it on in private, but it can't reach the ears of the two children. It's a pity, hey..."

It's a pity, naturally, it will be their long life in the future.

Lamenting the misfortune of the two children, and secretly curious about their true identities, Bai Yingluo looked at Master Yao inquiringly, "In a few days, I will go to the Nanyang Palace to meet the princess, I don't know, I may see you later. To those two children?"

Master Yao shook his head uncertainly, "The princess doesn't let them meet strangers, for fear that those people's curious eyes will hurt the child's self-esteem. Therefore, only family members, or people who are close and reliable to the princess, can see them .”

Bai Yingluo pondered for a moment, but her heart was bubbling like water that was about to boil. She always felt that these two children might have some connection with Bangcheng.

After seeing Master Yao off, Bai Yingluo asked Huang Wenbin to be called again.

Hearing Bai Yingluo say that the two children had curly hair and glazed eyes, Huang Wenbin became uncontrollably excited, "Ma'am, girls who married Fan people in Zhuangzi gave birth to children, regardless of gender, with curly hair and glazed eyes. , there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.”

"Then, have you seen a village where some people lived? If they also drifted to other places and gave birth to children, maybe they have the same characteristics."

Fearing that the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment, Bai Yingluo said coldly.

Huang Wenbin nodded discouragedly, "Yes, we can't rule out this possibility. What's more, they are just two children who can't speak yet. Even if they are really from our village, her parents are probably already dead. Among them."

Bai Yingluo nodded in response, but in her heart, she still had the idea of ​​going to see those two little girls.

Bai Yingluo didn't bring up the investigation of the Bengcheng massacre. She was just passing the time with nothing to do. It's not sure if she can find out the slightest bit. If she thinks about it, she wants to go to Nanyang Palace to see the To the twin sisters, Bai Yingluo only said that she was curious, and never mentioned their appearance characteristics that are different from ordinary people.

The autumn wind is rustling, and the weather is gradually turning cooler. After mid-October, every day when you get up early, there will be many fallen leaves in the yard for no reason, which makes people feel sad.

Near noon, Du Xuan came back from the outside, bringing a young man with him. After asking, he found out that it was actually Mr. Du's pharmacy in the city.

Because of the same surname, Du Xuan met Dr. Du when he first arrived in the capital, and gradually became acquainted with him in the past few years. Recently, Du Xuan specially invited Dr. Du to come to diagnose Bai Yingluo's pulse.

Dr. Du didn't talk much, he took out the pulse pillow from the medicine box he was carrying and put it on the kang table, and took a look at Bai Yingluo.

When Bai Yingluo put her hand on the pulse pillow, he lightly raised his arm to feel his pulse. Immediately, he turned his head and said to Du Xuan who was staring at him nervously: "Your Madam's pulse is steady and strong."

After all, he didn't leave a single prescription, and didn't give any extra words, so Dr. Du went straight out the door with the medicine box on his back.

Du Xuan shook his head helplessly and smiled, and hurriedly followed.

When she came back again, she saw Bai Yingluo instructing Chen Xiang to prepare a gift box.

"The doctor just said that the fetal image is stable, so you plan to be restless?"

Jokingly speaking, Du Xuan snatched the gift list from Bai Yingluo's hand and looked at it. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Yingluo in confusion, as if asking: Which house are you planning to go to?

"I'll go to the Nanyang Palace to see the princess, and I'll take a look at the embroidery that Master Yao pointed out. You know, Master Yao's skills, I don't know what to do, so I have to go and see."

Knowing that Bai Yingluo has been bored in the Zhuangyuan Mansion for more than a month, Du Xuan did not stop her, but repeatedly told her to be careful, turned around, but with a serious face, Chen Xiang and other maids who served Bai Yingluo personally They beat all over.

Waking up early the next day, Bai Yingluo went back to the Marquis Mansion first, talked with Old Madam Bai for a while, and then took the carriage to Nanyang Palace.

After receiving the post from Bai Yingluo, outside the gate of the palace, there was a woman who had already got an errand to wait attentively.

The carriage drove to the second gate before stopping, got out of the carriage, changed into a soft sedan chair, and carried it all the way to the courtyard of Biqiu Palace where Princess Nanyang lived.

After getting out of the sedan chair, the woman still had a smiling face and helped Bai Yingluo under the eaves in front of the hall door before giving up.

The Nanyang Prince's Mansion is not big, but the population in the mansion is simple, and it is not crowded at all.

Princess Nanyang had two sons and two daughters. The two daughters were married to Pingnan Mansion and the other was married to Quhua, which is close to the capital.

Now, apart from the prince and concubine, the Nanyang palace has only the eldest son Lu Fuhuai and his wife and the second master Lu Fujiang's wives and concubines.

When Bai Yingluo entered the main hall, the eldest concubine Han and the second grandma Tan were talking with Princess Nanyang. Beside Princess Nanyang, there were two girls sitting on one left and one on the right. They had exactly the same faces, and generally had clear and bright smiling faces. , Just looking at it like that makes people unable to move their eyes away.

Bai Yingluo hesitated for a moment, and at the top, Princess Nanyang smiled and waved at her, "Come here, and all these formalities will be avoided, not to mention you are still healthy, come and sit quickly."

After all, Bai Yingluo still bent down and performed a blessing ceremony, then got up again, and saw the two sisters staring at her intently, Bai Yingluo smiled at them.

The two girls were taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly showed bright smiles, their snow-white teeth made their faces even more lovely.

The two sisters were wearing the same pink dresses, and they wore the chirp hair that little girls often comb, and tied two plain white beaded flowers. The hair behind their heads was not as smooth as ordinary girls, and the bangs on their foreheads , and even curled into a row of small circles, making their baby faces even more lovable and cute.

Around their necks, each wore a red gold collar, under which was adorned an identical piece of cloud-shaped suet jade. There seemed to be strands of crimson in the jade that freely changed its shape with the light, adding more color to it. Fantastic colors.

Bai Yingluo became more and more sure that Nanyang King and Princess loved these two children very much, and they didn't dislike them because they were picked.

"Our Ruozhen and Ruozhu also like Mrs. Du?"

Seeing that the two sisters had been looking at Bai Yingluo without moving their eyes since she entered the room, Princess Nanyang couldn't help feeling amused, she lowered her head to look at the two of them and asked.

The girl sitting on the right side of Princess Nanyang nodded, stretched out her hand and gestured a few times.

Princess Nanyang laughed more and more, looked up at Bai Yingluo and said, "Ruozhu said, you look good and your smile is beautiful, she likes you very much."

As soon as Princess Nanyang finished speaking, the girl on the right side shyly buried her face behind her, but her pair of agile eyes still secretly looked at Bai Yingluo.

"Your name is Ruozhu? Your name is really nice. You look better than me. I like you too."

Following the children's words, Bai Yingluo finished speaking softly, took out two purses from her sleeve pockets, and handed them to the two children.

Princess Nanyang was worried that the two children's appearance would be different from other children in the capital, which would attract suspicion and gossip from others, so she never brought them to meet guests. Knowing that Bai Yingluo came, Princess Nanyang didn't know what she was thinking, but He didn't think about avoiding her, so he just let the two sisters sit beside her all the time.

At this moment, seeing Bai Yingluo's normal complexion, she was not surprised at all, and the smile in her eyes was also revealing sincerity, it could be seen that she really liked the two sisters, and Princess Nanyang was filled with indescribable joy.

Pointing to the two children, Princess Nanyang introduced: "The one on the left is my older sister, named Ruozhen, with a quieter temperament. The one sitting on my right is called Ruozhu, and she is my younger sister. She is usually more courageous, and when she becomes lively, she will Like a monkey."

Ruozhu, who had just received the purse from Bai Yingluo, immediately hid behind her in embarrassment after hearing Nanyang Wangfei's words. Ruozhen pursed her lips and smiled sweetly. Kind of playful.
