Chapter 44 Revealing the Truth
As soon as Cui Xiu said this, Cui Zhenghai and Mrs. Cui looked at Cui Xiu one after another, and then Cui Jin nodded in agreement with Cui Xiu's words and echoed: " Father, have you forgotten that when He'er was a child, he sneaked out behind your back and came to Jingyue Tower to look for us? "
"At that time, He'er was wearing men's clothes and was in Jingyue Tower? "Come and go as you please."
"No one recognized her from beginning to end."
Cui Jin said with a smile on his face, thinking of Xiao Cui Xiu's childhood troubles. When Cui Yu and Cui Chu heard Cui Jin mention these interesting things, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
Cui Xiu was very naughty when she was a child. She always wanted to go out to play with her brothers and sisters. At first, she was afraid that her brothers and sisters would not agree, so she dressed in men's clothes and ran to Jingyue Tower on her own initiative.
The eldest brother likes wine, the second brother likes going to the theater, and the third sister loves food. Every month, they make an appointment to go to the Jingyue Building, book a private room, and stay there all day long. How cool and unrestrained it is.
There is no other family in the capital that can be as harmonious as the Cui family. Most of the children from other families are in harmony with their brothers and sisters on the surface, but in fact they are constantly fighting.
Most of them have their own friends, but the Cui family is different. The brother and sister are each other's best friends and each other's most trusted family members.
Later one time, Cui Chu discovered that Xiao Cui Xiu, who was disguised as a man, was lost in the Jingyue Building. He was squatting in a corner and secretly poking at the little pearl. Cui Chu couldn't bear it, so he I took Xiao Cuixiu to play with me.
When Cui Xiu got older, she still wore men's clothes and went to Jingyue Tower with her brothers and sisters. She would hold Cui Jin's arm every time and block a lot of peach blossoms for Cui Jin.
“Yes, father, don’t worry.”
“They won’t recognize He’er when he dresses up in men’s clothing.”
“Besides, it’s been so many years. None of them have gone, and the housekeepers in Jingyue Tower must have changed their appearance."
Cui Chu spoke to Cui Zhenghai seriously. He was trying to persuade his father, and Cui Zhenghai was also trying. It's not that he is an unreasonable father, it's just that Cui Xiu has a special status now.
Although Jingyue Tower is just a Fengya restaurant, it would be fine if the concubines of this dynasty disguised themselves as men and were not discovered. But if they were discovered, how would they explain it to His Majesty the Emperor?
This grown-up Cui Chu is still causing mischief with his younger sisters. He really needs to be educated.
Although Cui Zhenghai thought so in his heart, he did not directly stop him. Instead, he turned to look at Cui Xiu. She had to decide this matter by herself.
After all, this child is older and has her own opinions. Besides, she is a mother herself, so she still has some ideas in mind.
"He'er, you should think it over carefully."
When Cui Xiu saw her father asking her, she did not hesitate for a moment. She nodded in response to her father and said, "Father, I understand what you mean." Yue Lou’s plan.”
“It just so happens that my second brother and I have a good understanding and have decided to go to the private room.”
Cui Xiu thought to herself that she would leave the palace this time. In addition to having a good time with family, another important thing is to meet a few people, a few important figures.
As for the people she wanted to meet, she couldn't blatantly make appointments to meet them at Cui Mansion, because she knew that His Majesty's eyes and ears were watching the Cui family all the time.
In this case, it is better to lead people to the Jingyue Tower. There are many people in that place, so it is better to cover up.
Cui Zhenghai listened to Cui Xiu's firm answer. Since Cui Xiu had said so, he had no reason to stop him anymore.
After lunch, they took a short rest. Cui Yu and Cui Chu went to Jingyue Tower first. Cui Jin waited for her to change clothes, and then they went there.
In the carriage, Cui Xiu, who was dressed in men's clothing, was also an extraordinary figure. He held a white fan in his hand and his eyes were distant, making him look like a young man from an aristocratic family.
"He'er, I heard from my second brother that you have something to tell us when you come back this time."
"Third sister, can you ask in advance what's going on?" At this time, there were only two sisters in the carriage. Chunfeng and Qiufeng were both left at Cui's house by Cui Xiu. Cui Xiu saw Cui Jin asking her at this time, and she thought For a moment, there was no hiding it.
“I wanted to talk to you in the evening, in the dead of night.”
“Since the third sister is asking now, I won’t hide it. Let’s talk to you.”
Cui Xiu briefly laid the groundwork. Cui Jin looked at Cui Xiu intently, showing special concern for Cui Xiu’s affairs.
"The fifth prince now is not my child, but Ning Bin's."
"My child is now with Sister Yun."
As soon as Cui Xiu said this, Cui Jin's His pupils shrank subconsciously and he stared at Cui Xiu, feeling a little overwhelmed for a while.
Cui Xiu was afraid that Cui Jin would misunderstand that she was being bullied in the palace, so he added two more sentences at the end:
"Third sister, don't worry, the current situation is all caused by me. , I don’t want to change the current situation.”
"Sister Yun, we can trust you. I can rest assured that the child will be raised by her."
Cui Jin was so shocked by Cui Xiu's words that he didn't know how to answer her for a moment. How could Cui Xiu do this? Speak it in an understatement without hesitation.
“The child raised in your palace is not your child?”
“And your child is now raised in Concubine Yun’s palace?”
“That The child is yours, does she know this?”
Cui Jin immediately grasped the core of the problem. This matter is not a trivial matter. If it is not handled well, it will lead to catastrophe. There are many things she does not understand, but the most unclear thing is-
Why To make this happen?
Why would you give your child to someone else to raise when you were ten months pregnant? No matter what, this child is still raised under his knees and kissed by him. If he is raised under the knees of others, he will always be unfamiliar.
"Sister Yun doesn't know yet. She still thinks that the child belongs to Ning Bin." Cui Xiu explained.
Cui Jin was really frightened by Cui Xiu. She felt that Cui Xiu was too bold. She continued to ask: "Why?"
"He'er, why are you doing this?"
"Is someone trying to harm you and your children?"
"Why don't you tell His Majesty." Cui Jin didn't know what the Emperor did I didn't know that the emperor did not favor Cui Xiu.
In Cui Jin’s eyes, Cui Xiu and the emperor were classmates, and Cui Xiu was as beautiful as a flower. He could win the emperor’s heart in any way, so Cui Jin felt that Cui Xiu and the emperor should be Loving.
When Cui Xiu heard what her third sister said, she shook her head and said, "No."
"Your Majesty cannot know these things yet."
"Now is not the time."
If this child is the emperor's, then she can say it at any time, but this child is not It belongs to the emperor, so we can't tell it now. At least until the child grows up, this secret will rot in his stomach.
