"Your Highness should be talking about a rattle given by the late emperor many years ago..."
Ye Ma lowered her head and lowered her voice: "I remember that when His Highness was just bitten by a mouse, the late Emperor gave him a rattle with a tabby cat painted on it, saying it could scare away the mice... His Highness has always been very fond of it.
I cherish you... but I haven’t seen you for many years, but Your Highness is crying today because you are looking for her..."
How to find this?
Looking at his younger sister with eager pleading eyes in front of him, Emperor Qingming felt a little impatient in his heart.
He knew that she was no different from a real child now, but how could he have so much time to play around with her?
But he didn't reveal anything on the surface, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "Brother, can you ask someone to buy you another one that's exactly the same?"
Princess Jingrong immediately shook her head and said stubbornly: "I want my own one...Brother, can you help me think about where to put it?"
Emperor Qingming became increasingly dissatisfied with her willfulness and could only coax patiently: "Don't worry, big brother, let me help you think about it - sit down first and watch the sweat on your head."
"I won't sit down..."
Princess Jingrong said, her eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, I remembered, I must have buried her!"
Ye Mo, who was on the side, suddenly said: "Yes, maybe he was buried."
Seeing the puzzled look on Emperor Qingming's eyes, Ye Mao hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty may have forgotten that His Highness had a delicate mind when he was young. The late Emperor was fighting in the east and west at that time, and His Highness was also afraid that something would suddenly happen at home.
Come, because I often like to bury my precious things, saying that I am afraid of being robbed..."
Emperor Qingming was vaguely impressed by this, but he never paid attention to such meaningless things.
Even when I was listening to this, I felt like it was just a waste of time.
He had a lot of things to deal with. If he hadn't heard that Jing Rong was causing a lot of trouble, he wouldn't have come here today.
However, Ye Mo's next words caught his attention.
"Before entering the capital, His Highness always buried things under the jujube tree in the old house. When he entered the capital, he dug them all out and brought them to the capital. His Highness is nostalgic for the past and has always kept them."
When Ye Mao said this, he glanced at the eldest princess and his voice was much lower: "It wasn't until the year of the late emperor's death that His Highness reburied those old things, especially those related to the late emperor. Only the
I keep a piece of jade pendant by my side while thinking about it, because I am afraid that it will trigger feelings..."
In what year did the late emperor die?
And what was buried... were mostly things related to the late emperor?
Jingrong seemed to have mentioned this matter to him.
Emperor Qingming was slightly moved and asked, "Where are all those things buried?"
"It's under the jujube tree in the empty courtyard where His Highness ran alone the day he woke up." Ye Ma said: "The courtyard is also built according to the old house - maybe the rattle Your Highness is looking for is really the one.
It's buried under that tree, so I'll ask someone to dig it up and take a look."
"I want to go by myself!" Princess Jingrong's eyes were full of excitement, like a child who couldn't wait to play a treasure hunt.
Emperor Qingming smiled and said, "How about I accompany Ding Ning to look for him?"
"Okay, okay!" Princess Jingrong jumped up happily and immediately dragged her brother's sleeves to go out.
Princess Yufeng saw this and wanted to follow.
The most difficult thing about looking after children is to stay close to them, but if you don't follow them, not only will you not be relaxed, but you will become even more worried and uneasy.
Of course, she also wanted to see what Xie Dingning had hidden and if there was anything she could use to make fun of.
Seeing a group of people coming out with cheers and cheers behind him, Emperor Qingming turned around and said gently with a smile: "There is no need to mobilize people like this. It's enough for me to bring someone to accompany her."
"Yes." Princess Yufeng could only stop.
Emperor Qingming walked forward with his sleeves held by the eldest princess, followed by a group of eunuchs and guards.
Seeing the two brothers and sisters leaving, the maids in the eldest princess's palace couldn't help but sigh in their hearts - Your Majesty is really pampering and pampering towards His Highness. This is because he loves this sister from the bottom of his heart...
Alas, it is a pity that their Highnesses are now in such a confused state.
Speaking of their ignorant His Highness, they really caused a lot of trouble during this period, thanks to His Majesty's protection.
A few days ago, His Highness was angry with the princess, so he packed his bags and insisted on climbing the wall and running away from home. He just managed to avoid the people who climbed up the backyard wall, but did not dare to jump down, so he
Standing in a stalemate with the princess on the wall——
Tired of the stalemate, he opened the bag and took out the pastries and fruits inside and ate it.
The most terrible thing is that he also used an apple to smash the head of Zuodu Yu Shiming, who happened to be passing by on a donkey...
Fortunately, most of the apple has been chewed, so the damage is not that strong.
But the Censor of the Ming Dynasty, who had always loved impeaching their Royal Highnesses, was uncharacteristically not angry. Instead, he kindly persuaded the eldest princess to go down quickly - and did not make any excuses for impeachment as usual afterwards.
Probably because of conscience, I think their Highnesses are too pitiful now.
However, they still felt that the reason why Ming Yushi was so generous was because they did not see the princess inside the wall giving a thumbs up to His Highness and praising His Highness in a low voice - "Well done".
Of course, this is not just the princess's opinion, they all feel the same way.
After all, why would a big man always accuse their highnesses of raising noodles? It can't be because he is not good-looking and has no capital to make noodles, so he can't eat grapes and feel sour, right?
Seeing Emperor Qingming and his entourage disappear, Xu Mingyi slowly loosened the fingers that he had unconsciously clenched in his sleeves.
His nails, which were always trimmed short and neatly, also had red marks on his palms.
Judging from the many signs and coincidences, everything today should be a scene arranged by the eldest princess.
Including now leading the emperor to find the rattle...
But what is the purpose of all this?
Why didn't you forget to invite her too?
Is it to let her see what happened today with her own eyes?
Thinking of a possibility, Xu Mingyi straightened the corners of his mouth slightly, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
"Then let's go in and wait." Princess Yufeng breathed out, "It happens that I can also take a break."
Xu Mingyi glanced again at the direction where the eldest princess and Emperor Qingming left. After a moment, she followed her friend and turned around and entered the room.
If the eldest princess really makes a decision, there is nothing she can do to stop it.
She has no position to stop the other party's choice.
As far as the current situation is concerned, no one can make a final conclusion on what is the right thing to do——
Emperor Qingming and Princess Jingrong quickly arrived at the courtyard.
Because Princess Jingrong likes to run here recently, the originally abandoned yard has been renovated by the servants, and it is now clean and tidy.
"It should be right here!"
Princess Jingrong pointed to the old jujube tree and said.
