Chapter 588: Grandparents and Grandchildren Talk
After Nan Yaorui entered Madam Nangong's room, he saw four guards following him closely like little followers and not leaving.
His face immediately turned cold: "This prince is just chatting with my grandmother about family matters. Do you guys have to listen in?"
The four guards looked at each other and saw that only Madam Nangong and an old maid were inside. They bowed to Nan Yaorui and stood in two rows at the door of the room.
Seeing that the four of them were very sensible, Nan Yaorui immediately memorized their appearances, perhaps he could keep them for his own use in the future.
"Grandma, Rui'er came here today to ask my uncle about participating in the Four Nations Tournament. I wonder how his preparations are going?"
Madam Nangong glanced at the door of the wing room, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said kindly, "Rui'er, you should wait until Bo Ze leaves the court and then ask him yourself about this question."
"That's right. Grandmother spends her days in the Buddhist temple or strolling around the back garden. She definitely doesn't know anything about the court affairs. Rui'er was reckless."
"Second Prince, I have recently researched something interesting. Do you want to play with me?"
It was rare for Nangong Yu to see someone of his peer coming to his house, so he excitedly pulled Nan Yaorui's arm to sell him something.
Madam Nangong frowned slightly, "Yu'er, how old are you? You're still like a child! All you want to do is play all day long! Rui'er is not as free as you."
Nan Yaorui showed an embarrassment on his face, "Second brother, I came here today to ask my uncle about the Four Nations Tournament, and secondly, to visit my grandmother."
Second brother, the main purpose of my coming here today is to find my grandmother, so please don't cause trouble for me by standing around.
Old Madam Nangong was very smart and she immediately understood that Nan Yaorui had something important to discuss with her.
Then Old Madam Nangong told the nanny to go to the kitchen to get some cakes and tea so that the grandparents and grandchildren could eat, drink and chat for a while.
Nan Yaorui picked up the teacup on the tea table, blew on the tea surface slowly, took a sip, and sighed: "Grandma, your tea is still the best!"
What Nan Yaorui said was true. The tea he was drinking at that moment was a rare and fine tea from Mu Qingqing's hands. It could not be bought outside no matter how rich you were.
Madam Nangong smiled cheerfully, "Rui'er, if it tastes good, drink more! When you return to the palace, bring some back for your mother to try."
Nan Yaorui stood up and bowed to Old Madam Nangong: "Thank you, Grandma!"
"Grandmother, do you know? Yesterday, Rui'er mistook a woman for my mother in the palace. After she explained to Rui'er, she found out that she was the wife of the prime minister of Donglin Kingdom. Don't you think it's funny? When I went back and told my mother about it, she scolded me!"
Nan Yaorui explained what happened to Old Madam Nangong in a joking tone, and looked at her with an aggrieved look as if he was complaining.
When Madam Nangong heard about the wife of the Prime Minister of Donglin Kingdom, she was so excited that she almost exposed herself.
When he caught a glimpse of the four guards at the door, he calmed down again, picked up the teacup on the table and brought it to his mouth to hide the overly excited expression on his face.
How could Yao'er appear in the palace of Nanshun Kingdom when she was not staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Donglin Kingdom?
Old Lady Nangong recalled that Emperor Nanshun, in pursuit of immortality, had captured many miraculous doctors from all walks of life and brought them into the palace to serve him alone.
My heart skipped a beat and I thought to myself: Not good! Did he capture Yao'er to lure out the Penglai Miracle Doctor?
Just at this time, the nanny came in with two maids, carrying exquisite pastries.
Madam Nangong looked at Nan Yaorui with a smile, "Rui'er, these pastries are the latest developed by the chef, you can try them."
Nan Yaorui raised his head and saw that Old Madam Nangong nodded to him. He knew that his grandmother understood the hidden meaning of his words.
He immediately picked up the delicate lotus root pink pastry on the plate and put it into his mouth.
"Grandmother, you are biased! Every time the Second Prince comes, you can't see Yu'er! You only give the good things to the Second Prince!"
When Nangong Yu heard about the Prime Minister's wife, he suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter and deliberately stood in front of Nan Yaorui, pretending to be jealous.
"Second Prince, why is my aunt in the palace of Nanshun Kingdom? Is she okay?"
Nangong Qi, with his back to the door, opened his mouth and communicated silently with Nan Yaorui.
At this time, Nan Yaorui's whole body was blocked by Nangong Yu. Nan Yaorui glanced in the direction of Old Madam Nangong.
He nodded and spoke silently, "My aunt is with a three-year-old child. She is currently detained in Wangyou Palace. She is not in danger of life for the time being."
Old Madam Nangong was extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do. She could only eat snacks and drink tea to hide her inner anxiety and worry.
The delicious snacks that had been praised so highly before now tasted like chewing wax in Madam Nangong's mouth.
Madam Nangong had no idea what she talked about with Nan Yaorui afterwards, she just continued chatting with him for a while as he pleased.
After waiting for Lord Nangong to return home and pay his respects, Madam Nangong quickly sent them away: "Bo Ze, Rui'er wants to see you. You two can go to the study to discuss the court affairs."
Nangong Houye's handsome and elegant face was stunned for a moment: What happened to my mother? Rui'er rarely came to the Marquis' Mansion, why didn't she stay a little longer? Why did she rush out!
The shrewd Lord Nangong followed Old Madam Nangong's words and respectfully invited the Second Prince to go to the study with him to discuss matters.
As soon as the four palace guards followed the second prince away for a long distance, Old Madam Nangong asked the nanny and Nangong Yu to stay in the house.
Madam Nangong calmed down her nervous state of mind and quickly came under the camera.
"Qingqing, Qingqing, did you hear that? If you heard it, please answer! Qingqing!"
"Grandma, you have something to ask me? Is it about mother's matter?"
A moment later, Mu Qingqing's clear voice came from the camera above.
When Madam Nangong heard Mu Qingqing talking about Yao'er, her tone was very calm. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.
"Qingqing, I heard from Rui'er that he saw Yao'er in the palace yesterday. She was accompanied by a three-year-old child, and was imprisoned in Wangyou Palace by that person. How could this happen?"
As it concerns Qin Yao's safety, Old Madam Nangong couldn't calm down at this moment, and her brows were almost wrinkled into a "川" shape.
Mu Qingqing chuckled, "Grandma, don't worry! The three-year-old child following mother is my junior apprentice brother, and his magical powers are comparable to mine. Mother will not be in danger in the palace, so don't worry!"
After listening to this, Madam Nangong's expression became much calmer. "Qingqing, do you think that person who captured your mother wanted to force the Immortal Doctor from Penglai to come out?"
Mu Qingqing hummed, and then said in a brisk tone: "Grandma, these are all trivial matters! In two days, my brother and I will be able to go to the imperial capital to find you! Then we will bring you a surprise! You will definitely like it!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Nangong was overjoyed: "Qingqing, can you really come to visit me in the mansion in two days?"
"Yes! Grandmother, you should ask Uncle to be careful when he goes in and out these two days. The guards in the mansion are adjusted to the first level of alert. I will tell you in detail after my eldest brother and I arrive."
