There is Room For the Poor Daughter

At the gate of the palace, Daohua looked at Kang Naixin apologetically: "I've troubled you. Next time you see me in front of the Queen Mother, don't say hello to me again."

Being embarrassed by the queen mother in public, Kang Naixin was not as shy as she imagined, she shook her head, blinked her eyes and said with a low smile, "Don't blame yourself, maybe I got a blessing in disguise this time."

Wu Dingbai is not enlightened. This time she expressed her intentions in public to see how he could play stupid.

Daohua understood what she meant and said with a smile, "Then I wish you the best of luck."

On the second day of the birthday banquet, the queen mother declared that she was ill again.

Looking at Prince Ping who was packing up and preparing to live in the Four Seasons Villa, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang suspiciously: "Usually, when the queen mother is ill, the father will go to the palace to visit immediately. What happened this time?"

Xiao Yeyang looked a little complicated.

He did not expect that after the palace banquet ended yesterday, the father and the king would return to the Cining Palace to reason for him and the queen mother.

"Why else, the previous cognition has been subverted. Father Wang didn't expect that the Queen Mother didn't care about his feelings at all, and I don't think I want to please him anymore."

Daohua: "I think this is very good. Instead of trying to please the Queen Mother, it is better to go to Zhuangzi to accompany Master more."

In the next few days, Xiao Yeyang was busy again.

The emperor began to disintegrate the Jiang family's power. Because he could not guarantee that there would be no Jiang family in Jinlingwei, he sent Xiao Yeyang to secretly deal with some people and things.

On July 22, the Wu family proposed to the Kang family.

Because of the Queen Mother's appearance, everyone in the capital knew that Kang Naixin liked Wu Dingbai.

Princess Huijia's popularity in the capital is good, and the Kang family has never been involved in messy affairs. She is a good matchmaking partner. After Wu Jingyi asked his son and saw that he was also interested in Kang Naixin, he set a date and brought a matchmaker to take the initiative. Came in to propose a kiss.

When Daohua heard about this, she immediately chose two pots of lilies and took the flowers to the Princess Chang's residence to congratulate Kang Naixin.

It was not until evening that Daohua returned to the palace, and upon returning, she heard from Gu Yu that Prince Ping had returned.

Daohua's face was full of surprise: "My father has only gone to Zhuangzi for two days. Why did he come back so quickly? Could it be that he was scolded by the master?"

Gu Yu shook his head: "The servant girl doesn't look like it. If the old man really scolds him, the prince will definitely not be happy, but the servant girl looks at it, the prince seems to be very worried."

Hearing this, Daohua was puzzled. Her father-in-law is not someone who can pretend to be troubled. After thinking about it, he instructed the kitchen to cook a few dishes that Prince Ping liked, and then sent them to Pingxi Hall in person.

After Princess Ma died, Concubine Jiang or Concubine Ji usually accompanied Prince Ping to dinner with their children. It was very lively when it came to dinner, but today Pingxi Hall was quiet.

Wynn saw Daohua coming with a food box, hesitant on his face, as if he didn't know whether to let people in or not.

You know, the two concubines have just come, and the master has not seen a single one.

Daohua saw it and asked, "What happened to the king?"

Wynn is also very puzzled. It is clear that the master has been very happy in Zhuangzi for the past two days. Who would have guessed that soon after Prince Yong arrived this morning, the master returned to the mansion with a sullen face and a word.

Prince Ping heard Daohua's voice in the room, thought about it, and said, "Is it Yan girl, come in."

Daohua carried the food box into the house, saw Prince Ping frowning, and asked with a smile, "Father, have you offended my master?"

Prince Ping glanced at Daohua. At this moment, he understood why his brother was so different to this girl, and said angrily, "Does this king dare to offend him? That old man is even more temperamental than this king. "

Daohua smiled: "That's why my master is angry with you?"

Prince Ping looked at Daohua, but did not hum.

Daohua put the tableware and chopsticks in place and persuaded: "Father, my master is old, the old man has a little temper. You have a lot of people, but don't take it seriously with an old man."

Prince Ping didn't speak, thinking that he overheard the conversation between Prince Yong Lao and Gu Jian this morning in Siji Villa, his expression became complicated, he hesitated for a while, and looked at Daohua: "That. I heard that the old man has another one. elder sister?"

Daohua looked at Prince Ping in astonishment, a little surprised why he suddenly mentioned Granny Gu, although he was puzzled, he nodded with a smile on his face: "My master also has a sister, when I was in Taohua Village, everyone I like to call her Granny Gu."

"Father, why did you think of asking this?"

Prince Ping's expression paused for a moment, then he quickly picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and said vaguely: "I just heard someone mention it, so I wanted to ask more, so as not to accidentally say something and make your master unhappy."

Daohua saw Prince Ping's discomfort in his eyes, and knew that he must have known something, but he wanted to know about his mother-in-law, and she couldn't wait to tell him more about her mother-in-law.

"Father, the mother-in-law is very good. She is very kind to me, especially Xiao Yeyang. My marriage with Xiao Yeyang was all facilitated by her."

Hearing this, Prince Ping suddenly felt in his heart, and finally understood why the royal brother ignored the Queen Mother's objection and did not care that the identity of the Yan family did not match the palace, and insisted on marrying Ye Yang and Yan girl.

It turned out that Ye Yang and Yan girl were the one who nodded.

"Grandma Gu must be very kind, right?"

Daohua nodded hurriedly: "Of course, even if my mother-in-law's face is burned by fire, she is not scary at all. She has a pair of very gentle eyes."

Hearing that Granny Gu's face was burned, Prince Ping asked eagerly, "How did she get burned?"

Daohua shook her head: "It seems that she was trapped in a fire. If Master hadn't tried desperately to save her, my mother-in-law would have died in the fire long ago."

Prince Ping murmured: "Big fire."

He knew that his father's favorite concubine Wan Guifei died in a fire, but he was too young at the time to have no memory of this.

Although the empress dowager is not as good to him as the Jiang family, he also needs to be courteous to get the empress dowager's smiling face, but he always thought that she was the biological mother of him and the emperor.

I didn't expect it to be! ! !

All the doubts accumulated in the heart have been answered at this moment.

Why does the queen mother sometimes look at him with disgust in her eyes, as if he is a lowly person;

Why did the queen mother ask him to apologize to Jiang Shizi after he had a dispute with Jiang Shizi when he was a child, no matter what the reason, he is obviously the prince;

Why does the queen mother care about his affairs far less than the Jiang family's affairs?

She's not a mother at all, how can she really care about him? !

Afterwards, Dao Hua rambled about a lot of things about Granny Gu and Gu Jian, from when they lived in a temple and made a living by helping people heal, to when they fell into the water and were rescued by her and Xiao Yeyang, and then settled down in Taohua Village.

"My mother-in-law fell into the root of the disease when she was young. Even if the master tried to heal her, she still couldn't keep her."

Daohua glanced at Prince Ping, who was in a certain mood, and said tentatively: "When my mother-in-law died, the most worrying thing was her two sons. She hoped that her Xiaowu and Xiaojiu would have a safe and smooth life. ."

Hearing this, Prince Ping stood up immediately, and then strode out of the room.

When Wynn saw it, he hurriedly looked at Daohua. Seeing Daohua looking at him innocently, he immediately ran to chase people.

Daohua stood at the door, watching the back of Prince Ping leaving quickly, stretched out his hand and pressed his chin, thoughtfully.

When Xiao Yeyang came back in the evening, Daohua took him and told him what Prince Ping asked Granny Gu: "I think Father King knows something."

Xiao Yeyang was full of surprise: "How did he know?"

Daohua shrugged and said uncertainly, "Shouldn't Master say it?"

Xiao Yeyang was silent: "It's good to know, lest he keep leaning towards the queen mother."
