Chapter 459 Looking for a Concubine Named Xiurong

The Empress Dowager had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she kept a smile on her face. It seemed that she was in a good mood.

Shao Wanru seemed to be at a loss and didn't understand why the Empress Dowager was so kind to her.

Rui'an Great Elder Princess knew that the Empress Dowager really liked Shao Wanru, so she was very happy. She hurriedly asked Wanru to thank the Empress Dowager for her reward. "Change" was just a word, no one would take it seriously.

As for the fact that the Empress Dowager said she liked Shao Wanru's jade pendant, no one would think that it was true. Great Elder Princess and Old Madam had never touched this jade with their own hands. Of course, they did not know that this jade was the most precious warm jade. It was warm all year round and was good for Chu Liuchen's illness.

Chu Liuchen was in poor health and rarely appeared in public. Even if he occasionally went into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, he might not encounter these two people. They did not know that the jade pendant of this warm jade was owned by Chu Liuchen. At this time, no one thought that he had something to do with this matter.

Old Madam frowned and looked at Shao Wanru. She didn't like the scene in front of her at all.

How nice it would be if the favored one was her eldest granddaughter!

Originally, the eldest granddaughter was the most outstanding one in the whole mansion and was favored by her. But why did this little granddaughter get the first one?

When Rui'an Great Elder Princess glanced at Old Madam, she found that her face was not good, so she asked with a sneer, "Doesn't Old Madam like Wanru being favored by Empress Dowager?"

"Of course I like her. For Wanru to be favored by Empress Dowagers is the blessing of the entire Duke Xing's Mansion!" Old Madam explained with a smile on her face.

"Then why did you frown just now?" Great Elder Princess disdained Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion, so she spoke more impolitely.

"Great Elder Princess, why are you so aggressive? What else do you want us to do? No one wants the affair of Qinghua and Big Boss!"

Old Madam's eyes turned red, and she spoke with a grievance. Then with the handkerchief in her hands, she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.

She was saying that Rui'an Great Elder Princess was focusing on the past and making trouble for no reason. Shao Wanru lowered her head and showed a trace of irony on her face. Her grandmother would also pretend to be pitiful in the face of the Empress Dowager.

"Well, well, Rui'an, it's really not anyone's fault. No one wants this to happen. Forget it, it's over. Now that I see my lovely granddaughter and grandson, I don't want to argue about it anymore. Otherwise, how can they take it away?" said Empress Dowager, unable to bear it.

Great Elder Princess still wanted to say something. But Shao Wanru reached out and pulled her sleeves.

"Empress Dowager, I don't care. I just want to see them well, and that kind of thing won't happen to them again." Rui'an Great Elder Princess stopped competing for victory and just lowered her head bitterly.

"Don't worry, there won't be such things anymore. The two children will grow up safely. If such things happen again and force the two children to run away, I will make the decision and give them to you."

The Empress Dowager made the final decision.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Rui'an Great Elder Princess was very happy. She stood up and bowed to the Empress Dowager.

The Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion looked a little terrible. It was not because she didn't want to give up Shao Wanru and her brother, but if such a thing really happened, the whole Duke Xing's Mansion would be shamed. Her grandson and granddaughter wouldn't be safe in their mansion, and they were forced to be given to their grandmother. What a disgrace!

"Empress Dowager, don't worry. They won't be in any danger. I'll definitely treat them like treasures."

Madam Dowager had to stand up and respectfully made a promise to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand and gestured to indicate that they should do away with the etiquette. Then, she asked them to sit down again. She looked back at Shao Wanru's face and said with a smile, "I still want to talk to your two elders. You can go to the side hall and sit there. If you feel bored, you can go to my palace and have a look!"

Shao Wanru looked at Rui'an Great Elder Princess with hesitation.

Great Elder Princess nodded to her with a smile. "Quickly express your thanks to Empress Dowager!"

At this time, she indeed had things to do. She had to snatch the rights of Shao Wanru's marriage from the hands of Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion. It was not good for Zhuozhuo to listen here.

"Thank you very much, Empress Dowager!" Shao Wanru stood up and said softly.

The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile. A palace maid came over and led Wanru to the side hall.

Seeing the tacit communication between Shao Wanru and Rui'an Great Elder Princess, the face of Madam Dowager of Duke Xing became more and more gloomy. She was the real elder, but not a patch on Grandma. She felt wronged and disgusted and increasingly felt that Shao Wanru was the same as her mother. They didn't know who relatives were and who they should be close to.

The Empress Dowager was here, so Old Madam couldn't say anything. She even forced a smile on her face.

The Empress Dowager's side hall was very big. There was the door of the main hall in front. The door on the side came from the main hall. It was much smaller than the main entrance.

As soon as they entered the door of the side hall, the palace maid who led the way made a deep bow to the handsome young man sitting there.

"You go back first!" Xiao Xuanzi winked at the palace maid. The maid stepped back quickly and left. She even closed the side door when she left.

"So had Chu Liuchen been waiting for her here for a long time?" Shao Wanru thought helplessly.

"Come here to drink tea. Imperial Grandmother doesn't have much. I heard that they were planted at the back mountain of the Yuhui Nunnery. It is said that the tea has the smell of Buddha, and it is good for people!"

Chu Yuchen poured a cup of tea for Shao Wanru and pushed it to her.

Shao Wanru had no choice but to come over and sit down. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. The taste of the tea was not strong and it had a very light scent. It was even fainter than the usual tea taste.

Shao Wanru used to drink light tea but she didn't drink much of it. She would just put a few pieces of tea to produce a hint of green in the tea soup.

The flavor was very in line with her taste. The taste was mild at the beginning, but the aftertaste was mellow.

"Is there such kind of tea in the back mountain of the Yuhui Nunnery?" Shao Wanru blinked her long lashes and asked in surprise. In her last life, she only knew that Shao Yanru had learned painting in the back mountain of the Yuhui Nunnery. Later, she heard that Rui'an Great Elder Princess became a nun there.

"The Yuhui Nunnery is not an ordinary one. Although it cannot be compared with Huaguang Temple, which is considered as a royal temple, it is also extraordinary. If the Emperor dies, all the imperial concubines in the harem who have no children will all stay in the Yuhui Nunnery. And there have been princesses who stayed there as nuns before."

Chu Liuchen picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and put it down. His body was not good, so he also drank this kind of light tea and enjoyed it.

Shao Wanru thought for a while and asked with a slight change in her expression, "Did the late Emperor's imperial concubines also stay in the Yuhui Nunnery?"

"Of course. Although there were not many imperial concubines before, there were still some. They were all sent to the Yuhui Nunnery, but it was somewhat different from the real nuns' residences." Chu Liuchen slightly lowered his head, and blinked his black eyelashes on his pale and handsome face. Then he slowly raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly. He spoke calmly, as if he were talking about other people's affairs.

Shao Wanru knew that the so-called imperial concubine was his father's. It was said that his mother passed away after being depressed because of his father's death. Everyone would be sad when speaking of such a thing!

However, when he said this, it seemed deliberate for him to change the topic.

Shao Wanru thought for a while, turned the teacup in her hand, and asked, "Is the Yuhui Nunnery big?"

"Yes, the entire Mount Donghua is included in it." Chu Liuchen looked up, and his long and narrow eyes were shining with flickering light, which looked a little gloomy and deep.

The beautiful young man, who was like a painting, looked a little evil at this time.

"Is there anything you want inside?" Shao Wanru thought for a while and asked bluntly. She slowly put down the cup in her hand and sat down with her slim body straight. Since they were talking about serious matters, she had to listen carefully.

"Yes!" Chu Liuchen smiled and bent his pale lips. His lips were very light, and his thin color made him look weak. However, this kind of lip color suited him very well, which was extremely delicate and beautiful. It seemed that this kind of person would only appear in paintings.

Of course, Shao Wanru, who had confronted Chu Liuchen several times, did not think that he was really otherworldly. He was trying to fool others with his gentle appearance. He seemed to be pale but was very poisonous actually.

Since he said yes, Shao Wanru did not dare to ignore him. She thought about it and asked uneasily, "Prince, what do you want? If I have the chance, I will definitely find it for you."

She didn't dare to promise it easily. She didn't know what kind of good thing Chu Liuchen would bear in mind constantly.

"Look for someone for me!" Chu Liuchen said leisurely, resting his chin on his hand.

"The nuns in the Yuhui Nunnery? Or the imperial concubine who was locked up?" Qin Wanru asked more carefully. It was obvious that this matter was difficult to deal with, otherwise, it would not be her turn.

"The concubines who have been locked up are all in the same place. There is a wall separating it from the Yuhui Nunnery, which is equivalent to separating several gardens in the Yuhui Nunnery. The people who live inside are those who are locked up. The gate to the Yuhui Nunnery is locked and the key is naturally in the hands of the nunnery owner. You have to find a way to go in and find an imperial concubine named Xiurong! I have something to ask about those years!"

Shao Wanru was flustered. She bit her lips and moaned in her heart. However, she had no choice but to agree. "Prince, you can rest assured. If there is a chance, I will definitely look for her."

She could tell that this was not a good thing, and it might even have something to do with Chu Liuchen's "big deal".

"Go to the Yuhui Nunnery with Nanny Zheng. She knows the imperial concubine named Xiurong. You can take two servant girls with you. Others are unneeded. Mingqiu Nun happens to be there as well, so she will take care of you when you get there." Chu Liuchen seemed to have made all the preparations for her, which made Shao Wanru more speechless.

"Prince, have you long since thought that I would go to the Yuhui Nunnery?"

"If you want to leave Duke Xing's Mansion, the Yuhui Nunnery is indeed a good place, but you should pay attention to a person!"

"Who is he?" Shao Wanru tightened her heart and asked with her watery eyes wide open.

Chu Liuchen's handsome face suddenly moved closer, and his beautiful eyes rolled. Suddenly, he asked an unrelated question, "Where is my jade pendant?"
