Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 332 Fake it
"correct."

Zhao Min remembered a matter that had been kept in her mind for a long time, and there was no one at the moment, so she wanted to ask Madam Xiao, maybe he and she could know something and answer the doubts in her heart.

"Madam Xiao knows the origin and experience of Concubine Li in the palace, and I only met her a few times in this palace, but every time she saw me, she always said some inexplicable words, which made people very puzzling. "

Although Zhao Min has left the palace now, and may not have much contact with Concubine Li in the future, the doubts accumulated in his heart have not disappeared.

"Alas..." After hearing Zhao Min's question, Mrs. Xiao first sighed heavily, her eyes dimmed a bit, as if she was recalling what happened a long time ago.

"It's a long story. Back then Concubine Li and Concubine Shu entered the palace together, and the two grew up together. Even after entering the palace, their relationship has always been very good, and they have never had a falling out because of fighting for favor."

"Concubine Shu..." Zhao Min muttered to himself, as if a light suddenly flashed in his mind, "But the original owner of Chunyang Pavilion?"

Mrs. Xiao nodded lightly, "Exactly."

"The two sisters have a very good relationship. Not long after, Concubine Shu gave birth to the fifth elder brother, but not long after giving birth to the fifth elder brother, Concubine Shu hanged herself."

Zhao Min was very surprised. In this harem of intrigues, it is rare to have someone who treats her sincerely. Maybe she saw her playing so happily with Qin Gong, which brought back some memories of her past, so she said that sentence at that time Bar.

"At that time, there was a lot of trouble about this matter. There were rumors that the Queen and Xian Fei teamed up to force Concubine Shu to death, but there was no evidence."

"At that time, the queen wanted to take the babbling fifth elder brother under her knees to raise her. Concubine Li strongly opposed it, and with the help of the queen mother, she was raised under her knees."

"Perhaps because she is used to the intrigues in this palace, Concubine Li has raised Fifth Prince very well, well-behaved and sensible, but she has never shown her sharpness."

Zhao Min nodded lightly, yes, in this harem, being smart is not necessarily a good thing.

Unexpectedly, there are so many origins in it, and Zhao Min felt infinite emotion in his heart.

"It's all old stuff. Besides, it was a big mess at the time. Afterwards, the emperor didn't allow anyone to mention it again. Therefore, only some old people in the palace knew about it."

In the final analysis, Concubine Li and Concubine Shu are also pitiful people, who have become tools for the empress and concubine Xian to fight in the palace.

"It was an extremely correct choice to take you out of the palace during this adventure. The harem is a place that cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. No matter who stays for a long time, it will always be affected, and their minds will become impure."

For Mrs. Xiao's words, Zhao Min agreed very much, so she nodded slightly.

"Anyway, Min'er still wants to thank Mrs. Xiao, you and I have only met once before, and Mrs. Xiao is willing to help me like this, which makes Min'er very grateful."

Mrs. Xiao smiled lightly: "Yes, I only met once. Didn't Min'er still write me the distress letter? Trust is mutual, maybe you and I are destined by fate."

Looking at Zhao Min's face in front of her, Jiang Yanran would always have an inexplicable feeling of goodwill in her heart. Now that the atmosphere is just right, she brings up the things she has been thinking about since yesterday.

"Yesterday in the palace, I told the emperor that I fell in love with you and accepted you as a righteous daughter. It's not just to hide the truth from the emperor, but I really have this kind of thought in my heart."

Zhao Min widened his eyes and looked at Mrs. Xiao opposite, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"If you don't mind, can I have another daughter."

After hearing Mrs. Xiao's words, Zhao Min didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and just looked at her in a daze.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mrs. Xiao thought she disagreed, and then chuckled lightly: "I'm being rude, if... what are you doing?"

Before Mrs. Xiao could finish her words, Zhao Min stood up and knelt down in front of her.

"Godmother, please be respected by my little girl."

Zhao Min's words directly brought tears to Jiang Yanran's eyes, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help her up: "Get up, get up."

With Jiang Yanran's support, Zhao Min stood up slowly, with tears in his eyes: "Min'er has never felt a mother's love since she was a child, and has always been lonely. Mrs. Xiao does not dislike her and accepts Min'er as a righteous daughter. In Min'er's heart Very touched."

Jiang Yanran adopted Zhao Min as a righteous daughter, but she simply liked her, and felt that the two hit each other very well, as if there was a special relationship in the dark, but she never expected that she had never gotten it since she was a child. over motherly love.

"Don't be sad, Min'er, I will be your mother from now on, just treat me as your own mother, I will give you all the maternal love you lack."

Listening to Zhao Min's description of her experience, Jiang Yanran unconsciously thought of her own daughter. She was kidnapped by bad guys at such a young age, and now she doesn't know whether she is dead or alive.

"Mother..." Zhao Min murmured, threw herself into her arms, and cried on her shoulder.

It was rare for Zhao Min to be unable to control his emotions like this, and for some reason now, he just couldn't control his emotions and wanted to cry a lot.

And Mrs. Xiao patted her on the shoulder lightly: "Cry, good boy, it will feel better when you cry."

Nanny Gu, who had witnessed everything, also secretly wiped away her tears.

Zhao Min finally stopped crying, and seeing that it was almost noon, Jiang Yanran suggested: "It's almost noon, Min'er don't go back either, let's eat at the godmother's place."

Zhao Min nodded, a smile finally appeared on his face: "That's very good."

Just after dinner, Zhao Min and Jiang Yanran were chatting.Seeing Xiao Yichen walking in, he was slightly stunned when he saw Zhao Min: "It turns out that Princess Ling is here, which is just right, and saves me from looking for you later."

I saw Xiao Yichen took out two letters from his sleeve, and handed them to Zhao Min: "You have already left the palace, so you sent the letter directly to the General's Mansion, it was from King Ling, and there is another one for the Ninth Princess Yes, if it is convenient for the princess, I will hand it over, if it is not convenient, I will find a way to send it to the nine princesses."

Zhao Min cheerfully accepted the letter that Gu Lingqing had written to him, but did not receive the letter to Princess Jiu.

It must have been written by Jia Mingyun, the Ninth Princess should be eager to read it.

In troubled times, the queen must not want the princess to go out with her more now. If she handed it over by herself, she doesn't know when she will be able to hand it over to her.

"Brother, please deliver this letter to Princess Nine."

"Okay." Xiao Yichen took the letter back, and it took a while before he realized, "Why does the concubine call me?"

Zhao Min and Jiang Yanran looked at each other and smiled: "Yesterday in the palace, didn't elder brother hear what the godmother said? Since the godmother has accepted me as a righteous daughter, then you are my elder brother."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Min got up and bowed to Xiao Yichen: "Your sister is polite."
