After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor
Chapter 58: Old People Emerge
The man was speechless. He pointed at the sun and then at the alley ahead.
Seeing this, Wan Tao quietly walked over to observe and confirmed that there was a teahouse on the right side of the alley. There was a fluttering flag at the door with the word "book" written on it. She was sure that what the man said was true and guessed that they were in cahoots with the teahouse. Because the teahouse was remote and had few customers, they used this method to attract customers.
Wan Tao turned around and winked at Wan Ning to make sure there was no danger around. Mu Xiu helped Wan Ning up from the ground and said politely to the man, "Since the road ahead is not far, let's go there first. Please continue to lead the way."
The guide pointed at Wan Ning with great concern, and then touched his own leg, as if to ask if she could continue walking despite being injured. The guilt caused by the wrong accusation made Wan Ning's trust in strangers increase, and she waved her hands repeatedly for fear of delaying his business. But she still had to act the whole way, so Wan Ning pretended to have difficulty walking and limped forward.
"Can you do this?" Mu Xiu asked in a low voice.
"Oh, don't worry, it's not far ahead anyway." Wan Ning smiled and replied in a low voice with her mouth grinning.
Wan Ning smiled and responded when the young man who led the way asked if he would look back a few more times. At this time, Mu Xiu suddenly walked in front of her, bent down and carried her on his back without any explanation.
"Since your foot is injured, you'd better be careful. There's not much road ahead, so let me carry you." After saying this, Mu Xiu strode forward regardless of Wan Ning's refusal.
After all, Mu Xiu was his client and half-boss in today's society, so it was a bit embarrassing for him to carry him on his back. Meng Zhu and Wan Tao were also shocked, but fortunately they quickly recovered and followed him.
This teahouse was very different from what the vendor had described. From the outside, it looked shabby and in a remote location. When I walked in, I could see that there were many empty seats in the hall, with a few people sitting around.
Adhering to the spirit of being here, the four people stood in the hall and tried to find a good seat. At this time, the teahouse owner noticed them and saw that they were extraordinary and different from the few people who usually sat in the hall to have fun in their spare time, so he took the initiative to greet them and specially arranged for them to sit in the private room on the second floor.
Mu Xiu carried Wan Ning upstairs. Wan Tao gave some money to the guide and closed the door after he left.
"Everyone has finally left, let me go. I really need your help just now, otherwise I don't know how this play can continue." Wan Ning got off Mu Xiu's back, found a chair to sit down, and still regretted: "I am so ashamed, he couldn't even speak, and I actually doubted him. Thank you Prince Mu Xiu for helping me out and not embarrassing me."
"You're welcome. You're light anyway." Mu Xiu replied as he helped Meng Zhu and Wan Tao pull out chairs like a gentleman.
"But this teahouse is so simple, can the story be believed?"
Before he could answer, a loud sound of a gavel hitting the table came from downstairs, followed by a cheer. Several people walked towards the window at the same time. The window here was very large and in a good position. Facing it, you could see a white-haired man dressed as a scholar sitting in the middle of the hall, sitting in front of a table, with a gavel on the right and a fan on the left.
"The last chapter said that because her father died suddenly, the Crown Princess in Nanye City was so worried that she wanted to go back to her hometown. The Emperor sympathized with his daughter-in-law and wanted to bring the Crown Princess' only lover in the world, her sister, to the palace to accompany her sister. But he was in a dilemma about who to take her. If it was a minor official, it would seem insignificant, and if it was an important official in the court, it would be inappropriate. So he planned to find someone from the royal family. Do you know who he chose?"
"Who doesn't know that it was Prince Qi who went in the end?" the audience below asked impatiently.
"Yes, but you all know that it was Prince Qi who went, but you don't know why. At that time, Prince Qi frequently made great achievements in the court, and for a time his popularity even overshadowed that of the then Crown Prince, causing dissatisfaction among many ministers. At that time, there were rumors that the Crown Prince and Prince Qi were not on good terms. In order to dispel this rumor, Prince Qi took the initiative to offer to go on this trip."
The audience began to listen with fascination. The storyteller continued, "Who is the father of the Crown Princess? He was tired of court life in his early years. He did not want wealth and honor, and could not expect to be an emperor. So he retired with his little daughter and returned home early. Their hometown is very far away from Nanye City and far away from the city. He built his own house in the village and lived a very comfortable life. Let's go back to the fact that Prince Qi was less than 20 years old at the time. He was young and energetic. He was exhausted physically and mentally because of his relationship with his brother. In order to temper his character, he decided not to bring guards, but only two ordinary followers to bring back the Crown Princess's sister."
"How do you think this storyteller knows so much and has seen it with his own eyes?" Meng Zhu asked curiously while listening.
"Stories are all artistically processed and can't be taken seriously. Continue listening to what else he has to say." Wan Ning tilted her head to look at her, then looked at the storyteller curiously.
The storyteller said, "Who is the Crown Princess's sister? When the Crown Princess got married, she was just a child in her early teens, with baby fat on her face, and she was timidly hiding behind her father. She had met Prince Qi that day, so in Prince Qi's impression, she was still that child. The Crown Princess was a little worried, after all, girls change a lot when they grow up, and she was worried that Prince Qi would not recognize her, so she gave Prince Qi the portrait of her sister that her father had sent two years ago."
When the storyteller was moved, he picked up a fan from the table and waved it in the air, and began to tell the story with great joy: "When Prince Qi arrived at Pei's house, he was greeted by a beautiful lady. Prince Qi was frightened and thought he had come to the wrong place. Prince Qi bowed on the spot and asked politely, 'Miss, do you know Mr. Pei's youngest daughter, Pei Lan? She is about this tall.' He gestured to his waist.
The young lady burst out laughing and replied, "I am, what do you want to see me for?". King Qi was immediately surprised and took out the album in his hand to compare carefully. He saw that the person in front of him was a hundred times and a thousand times more lively than the one in the album. He was amazed that Miss Pei had changed so much in six years and was as stunning as the current Miss Pei. After explaining his purpose, King Qi was warmly entertained by Miss Pei Lan. Miss Pei even danced a song at the banquet. Her graceful and energetic appearance made people linger. "
Mu Xiu approached Wan Ning and gently touched her hand. When she looked over, he asked in a low voice, "Miss Pei's father just died, right?"
Wan Ning looked over in confusion, but before she could say anything, she heard the storyteller tell her even more explosive news: "One is a suave and handsome prince, and the other is a beautiful and considerate lady. They are close in age and had a great time talking to each other. On the way back to the city, they naturally talked about everything. However, at such a young age, they secretly developed feelings for each other and even did something shameful when they were young and hot-tempered!"
The audience below was shocked. They looked at each other and whispered to each other. One of the audience shouted, "Stop talking nonsense. Everyone knows that Miss Pei is the concubine of the late emperor and has a daughter, Princess Le Yan. I'm afraid the story you told is not false, right?"
The audience in the upstairs box was no exception. It was the first time that Wan Ning learned that her "mother" in this era actually had such a story with King Qi. She looked at Wan Tao in surprise and asked tentatively, "Tao, is what he said true?"
Snapped--
The gavel rang, and the storyteller smiled and said, "To know how this relationship ended and how Miss Pei became a concubine, please wait for the next chapter!"
