During a breakfast meal, the four most noble people in the world gathered around the Lord of Baoning County. All the rules were abandoned. The future of the little County Lord was really immeasurable, and Eunuch Laifu was very clear-eyed.
After the meal and some pleasantries, the Queen found an excuse to take Dongfang Shun away again. Since the Emperor summoned Xuan Bao, he must have something to say to her, and it would not be appropriate for mother and son to be here.
"The queen is the queen. As the lord of the palace, she is upright, generous and decent." The Queen Mother smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, the concubines in the palace can't get past her anyway, right?"
A glint flashed in the emperor's eyes. He was beating himself up. It seems that because of what happened today, Wang Guifei's reputation in the eyes of his mother has plummeted even further.
The Emperor Wang Guifei didn't care, but when he thought of the eldest prince she gave birth to, Dongfang Yao, he was his first son after all, not to mention he was so outstanding. It should be said that in his mind, this son was more outstanding than his second legitimate son Dongfang Shun.
.
A son who knows his father is better than his mother. He was born in the royal family. In fact, it can be said that he knows his son better than his mother. The person who knows each prince best must be his biological mother. Similarly, the Queen Mother also knows her own emperor's son very well.
"The Queen Mother has had many ups and downs in her life, and she has seen through the ways of the world." The Queen Mother said meaningfully, "The most important thing for a person is character. If your character is not good, no matter how good you are, everything else is useless."
"Auntie the Queen Mother is right. The old Taoist master also told me the same thing." Xuan Bao took the words seriously from the side.
Looking back many years later, Xuan Bao realized that a few words he said without any restraint actually acted as a divine assist.
"Old Taoist master?" The emperor caught the key words in Xuan Bao's words, "Didn't you say that he has been gone for a long time?"
"Yes, but I will remember everything the old Taoist master said here." Xuan Bao pointed to his little head.
The emperor suddenly looked around, and the Queen Mother waved her hand knowingly. Soon all the maids and eunuchs retreated out, and Eunuch Fu and Aunt Wen came out of the door to guard the room.
Faced alone with the two most powerful people in the world, Xuan Bao didn't feel the slightest bit nervous or uneasy. The little baby put his chin in his hands and smiled, blinking his big eyes with an innocent look on his face.
"Xuanbao, do you still remember the note you gave to Laifu?" As he spoke, the emperor took out a piece of yellowed paper from his sleeve and handed it to the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager took it over and spread it out with confusion on her face. There were only a few strange words on the paper: "Yao moved the world, Shun established the world, and Yu helped the prosperous age", and there was also a seal.
She lowered her head and took a closer look. When she saw the seal on the paper clearly, the Queen Mother's expression changed drastically.
The emperor had high hopes for his older sons, and named them after the three ancient tribal leaders in ancient legends: Yao, Shun, and Yu. The eldest prince Dongfang Yao, the second prince Dongfang Shun, and the third prince Dongfang Yu.
"It is the seal of the imperial master at that time. The handwriting is exactly the same as the one in the palace." The emperor personally confirmed the authenticity of the paper and then turned to the little doll, "This is what Xuan Bao asked Laifu to give to me.
."
"Xuan Bao, where did this come from?" the Queen Mother asked very seriously.
The little baby blinked: "I found it among the things left by the old Taoist master. I don't know what it means, but I did recognize that the seal belonged to my senior brother. I think the senior brother is the national master, and the seal he stamped should be
I want to give it to the emperor."
The emperor and the empress dowager looked at each other. It concerned the three princes. If it were ordinary people, they would definitely deal with it with monstrous words, but what the imperial master said was different. Although he had passed away long ago, they were really very worried about what he could only predict.
Pay attention to.
"Is this piece of paper useless?" Xuan Bao murmured to himself, "If I had known better, I wouldn't have given it to Eunuch Laifu."
"Why don't you just hand it over to me? Laifu's hair is turning gray because of this worry." The emperor took the thing from the Queen Mother's hand and asked, "Besides this, is there anything else?"
"No more, but..." Xuan Bao hesitated.
The Queen Mother sighed deeply: "You can say whatever you want, my aunt and uncle won't blame you."
Xuan Bao smiled and accepted: "I was just gossiping with my aunt and uncle's family."
"You kid, don't worry. I won't blame you. I'll stick to my word."
The little baby smiled slightly. The emperor wanted to find her old Taoist master when he entered the palace. After returning, the master and apprentice discussed it and found that he had nothing to worry about. The only thing that worried him was the matter of his successor.
She did believe what Xiao Mingzhu said about the so-called mysterious treasures from past and present lives, but she believed more in the victory of man over nature.
Xuan Baoben had a very bad impression of Dongfang Yao when he first met. Since his family members, including himself, would be in great danger after he succeeded to the throne, then he should not be allowed to succeed. The little kid didn't know anything, but he was simple-minded and looked at people with extremely accurate eyes.
It also feels different from ordinary people.
The old Taoist master once said that Dongfang Shun had a vague dragon spirit, which meant that Brother Shun was the serious prince and the one who would be the emperor in the future.
Contacted by the strange things in the Hou's mansion and the mysterious palace in the palace, the old Taoist master and Xuan Bao decided to use their tricks to help Dongfang Shun find a chance to find out.
Therefore, the master and the apprentice rummaged through the boxes and found the autographed calligraphy and painting given by Master Yinqin, the master's disciple who was the master of the country, on the old Taoist master's birthday. After studying it, he cast a spell to figure out the prophecy left by the master Zhang.
The little doll's head was spinning, and what she was waiting for was the emperor's words: "This is indeed what I saw when I was packing up the old Taoist master's belongings. In addition, the master said that the senior brother had his last words..."
At this point Xuan Bao hesitated to speak. The Queen Mother and the Emperor's eyes fell on her tangled little face. They looked at each other and then suppressed their temper and waited quietly.
People who can be the Queen Mother and the Emperor are great. Seeing that they didn't speak, Xuan Bao hesitated for a moment and then said: "Clues can be found in the forbidden areas in the palace."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother and the Emperor suddenly looked solemn. The only forbidden area in the palace was Yi Le Palace. Back then, the late emperor ordered the palace to be closed and made a forbidden area.
The dusty memory was lifted. The emperor actually had no idea why that place became a forbidden area. He turned his attention to his queen mother.
"Did I say something wrong? There are no forbidden areas in the palace?" Xuan Bao asked in fear.
The Queen Mother sighed: "Xuanbao, you are right, there are indeed forbidden areas in the palace."
"It seems that this is a secret in the palace. Auntie and uncle, you guys can talk. Xuanbao will come to the palace to pay you respects some other time." Xuanbao decisively stood up and left.
The little baby was talking about old events. Originally, the Queen Mother still had a slight suspicion in her heart, wondering if she had heard a few words from her grandfather, King Yongchang.
