Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Xiao Fuyuan studied with the female concubine Su Yu very effectively.

Soon the master and apprentice became familiar with each other.

Su Yu attaches great importance to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. Because Xiao Fuyuan has strong receptive ability, Su Yu's teaching progress for Xiao Fuyuan is ahead of others.

Princess Yun'an would also come to Bai's home from time to time to study and audit.

Ten days later, when the family school was on holiday, Zhen and Xiao Fuyuan were invited to Yuqing Palace again by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother's condition has improved greatly and she feels refreshed and refreshed as never before.

Not only has the Queen Mother's health become stronger, but the Queen's old illness has not relapsed.

Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law believe that their good health is due to the blessing brought by the little lucky circle.

Mrs. Zhen took Xiao Fuyuan into the palace. On the palace road, she met Concubine Shao and the second prince who were refusing to greet the Queen Mother. When they saw Xiao Fuyuan, they felt like they were seeing gods, and they were so frightened that they quickly ran away.

When mother and son saw little Fuyuan passing by the fish pond in the Imperial Garden, one koi after another jumped into Xiao Fuyuan's arms, they felt a little bit of fear in disbelief.

You must know that few people can catch the koi in the pond, so when little Fuyuan comes, the koi will automatically fall into his arms.

This had to remind the mother and son of the legend that was popular in Beijing - Princess Furong was the auspicious sign of Nanguan Mountain.

Concubine Shao secretly regretted it. If she had known that this would be the case, she would have let the second prince get along well with Xiao Fuyuan.

Now the eldest prince got the benefit in vain.

Xiao Fuyuan followed Zhen to Yuqing Palace. To her surprise, not only was the queen talking to the queen mother, but Cheng Mei was also there.

Although Cheng Mei was still wearing a curtain hat in front of the Queen Mother, Xiao Fuyuan still recognized her immediately.

"Aunt Cheng."

After Xiao Fuyuan greeted the Queen Mother and the Empress, she ran to Cheng Mei's side and raised her face to look at her.

She hasn't seen Cheng Mei for nearly a year.

Cheng Mei had known for a long time that Xiao Fuyuan was coming to Yuqing Palace, but when she actually saw him, she still couldn't hide her excitement.

"Did you miss me?"

Cheng Mei smiled and rubbed Xiao Fuyuan's head. She had grown taller after a year.

"I think so. I gave my elder brother to cultivate all the crop seeds you brought me from Nanyang." Xiao Fuyuan said to Cheng Mei with a smile.

The person who was equally surprised as Xiao Fuyuan was Zhen.

Cheng Mei was named the head of the merchant ship of Cheng Da by the Queen Mother and she knew that the Queen Mother protected her.

But she always thought that this was just because Cheng Mei controlled half of the Xia Dynasty's wealth, and the royal family naturally treated her favorably.

She didn't expect that Cheng Mei was actually in the Queen Mother's Palace, and seemed to be very familiar with the Queen Mother and the Empress.

"...A Ran's mother is A Hua. Fu'er, do you still remember Ming Hua? Back then, Ming Shu and Ming Cai were the eldest maids in my house." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

Ashu, Grandma Chang, nodded aside.

Zhen was unspeakably excited and said, "Why don't you remember?"

Cheng Mei's real name is Lin Ran. She remembers that Ming Hua was the son of Zhen's family and was also named Lin, but she did not connect the two together at all.

Cheng Mei held Xiao Fuyuan in her arms and said to Zhen, "I didn't expect that our fates would be linked together."

Mrs. Zhen recovered from the shock and asked, "Where did Mingshu and Mingcai go?"

The Queen Mother said: "When Heqin was ambushed at the border, Ashu and I escaped and met the late emperor who was King Jing. The Heqin team saw that I was missing and could not explain to the Xiyue Kingdom, so they disguised A Hua as me and entered the Xiyue Kingdom. She married the king of Xiyue Kingdom and gave birth to A Ran. News about A Cai came last winter. A Cai was exiled to the Rong Kingdom and became a maid of the Yan family of the Rong Kingdom. Later, the king was lucky enough to give birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. This is the news from General Meng from the border. You know that last year Da Zhuang went to the border to deliver food and captured He Lianliang, the third prince of the Rong Kingdom. He is A Cai's son."

Cheng Mei then said: "Sister Zhen, do you know who Mingcai's daughter is?" Zhen shook her head, but her heartbeat was beating like a drum. She always felt that she should be by her side.

"It's the Qiuniang your family took in."

Zhen was shocked again.

Sure enough, as Cheng Mei said, the fates of these people have long been secretly linked together.

Xiao Fuyuan sat in Cheng Mei's arms, listening to their conversation, seeming to understand.

"Both my mother and Qiuniang's mother Mingcai were not favored in either the Xiyue Kingdom or the Rong Kingdom. Like me, Qiuniang's brother and sister were discriminated against and scolded because they had southern blood. I later took my mother with her during her lifetime. His handwriting followed the Shen family's caravan to Ningcheng, the border, and went to the Queen Mother. Qiuniang brother and sister were not so lucky. Qiuniang got lost with Helianliang as soon as she arrived in Ningcheng, and was sold to Huaicheng by human traffickers. .”

Cheng Mei said quietly.

Zhen remembered that Cheng Mei went to her weaving workshop to chat with Qiuniang for a long time in Shenshu Village last winter. She thought she had some textile work for Qiuniang.

I'm afraid that by then, they would already know their respective backgrounds.

"How did you recognize Qiuniang?"

Xiao Fukuoka understood their conversation and asked with his eyes wide open.

"I met He Lianliang when I was young at the border. His pseudonym was Jincheng. Later I followed the Shen family to Huaicheng. He Lianliang asked me to help him find his sister. There was a small sunflower in his sister's arm." Cheng Mei did not hide it from Xiao Fuyuan because she thought she was a child, but explained it seriously.

Xiao Fuyuan understood.

"Sister Qiu did have a small sunflower on her arm." Xiao Fuyuan recalled carefully.

"I didn't expect Qiuniang to be Mingcai's daughter." Mrs. Zhen looked emotional.

"Auntie, why don't you bring Qiuniang to the capital to meet you? There is also Aunt Chang, I think I want to meet her too." Zhen said to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother thought for a while and said: "It depends on her wishes. Her brother He Lianliang will be escorted to Beijing soon. After all, they are brothers and sisters. Her brother is now a prisoner. In case she harbors hatred towards us. "

The Queen Mother said this tactfully.

Zhen was frightened. In terms of the righteousness of her family and country, Qiuniang was now the opposite of Xia.

Although she sympathized with Qiuniang for suffering so much and believed that Qiuniang only wanted to live a peaceful life now, as the mother of a country, the Queen Mother must first consider her family and country, not her personal emotions.

Maybe Qiuniang was already being monitored by people sent by the Queen Mother at this time.

Zhen was speechless for a moment.

"Grandma, Qiuniang is a good person, I promise."

Xiao Fuyuan played her role at the right time and said to the Queen Mother seriously.

She hopes to eliminate the Queen Mother's caution and prejudice against Qiuniang.

"Grandma trusts Xiao Yuanbao's judgment." The Queen Mother nodded, but from the look in the Queen Mother's eyes, Xiao Fuyuan knew that she had not said all her doubts.

Mrs. Zhen looked at Cheng Mei and then at Xiao Fuyuan.

Cheng Mei, that is, Lin Ran is the princess of Xiyue Kingdom, so Xiao Fuyuan has the blood of Xiyue Kingdom flowing in her body.

If Xiyue Kingdom knew that Xiao Fuyuan was the chosen girl, I wonder if she would be taken away from Zhenguo.

She wanted to ask Cheng Mei, but she was afraid that Xiao Fuyuan would know the truth.

At this time, A Zhen's voice sounded outside, and Xiao Fuyuan jumped off Cheng Mei's lap and ran out to greet A Zhen.

Mrs. Zhen took the opportunity to ask Cheng Mei: "Is Xiao Yuan Bao in danger?" (End of Chapter)
