Chapter 453: Concubine Xiao's Background
Nanny Yao said no more and returned to her room. She quickly opened her shirt and the bruise on her chest made her burst into tears again.
Looking in the bronze mirror, he smeared some healing medicine on his face and chest.
Then she changed into clothes for leaving the palace and tidied herself up a little.
She then took out the token that Concubine Xiao had asked her to manage and hurried out of the palace.
*
Prime Minister's Mansion,
Prime Minister Xiao had no guests to meet today. He was sitting leisurely in the rocking chair in the outer study, thinking about the glory that his grandson, Prince Rui, would have after becoming the crown prince.
Prime Minister Xiao is over sixty years old this year, only seven years older than Emperor Kun, but he looks younger and younger as he gets older, as if he is growing younger in reverse.
Just by looking at Concubine Xiao's appearance, you can tell what Prime Minister Xiao looks like!
When he was young, he was also recognized as one of the most handsome men in Daliang, and Xiao Guifei's appearance was exactly like his.
Just at this time,
The guard outside the study reported,
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Madam Yao from the palace wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Xiao was surprised and said,
"Does she have something to say when she comes here at this time?"
"Replying to Prime Minister, Madam Yao didn't say anything."
Prime Minister Xiao thought for a moment and said,
"pass."
"Here."
The guard turned around and went to ask for help!
*
quickly,
Nanny Yao, wearing a veiled hat, lowered her head and hurried into the study, and then the door was closed.
Before Prime Minister Xiao could ask, Nanny Yao threw her veil aside and threw herself into Prime Minister Xiao's arms, sobbing.
Prime Minister Xiao was confused and said anxiously,
"Ayao, what happened in the palace?"
"You only know how to ask the palace. Have you ever asked me what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Xiao was relieved that nothing had happened in the palace.
I guessed the reason in my heart and said with a smile,
"You, you are so old and still bother with girls."
Then he hugged Aunt Yao and started to comfort her.
*
It turns out that Aunt Yao's surname is not Yao, but A-Yao. She was originally the daughter of Prime Minister Xiao's wet nurse, and was half a year older than Prime Minister Xiao.
The two have known each other since childhood and can be said to be childhood sweethearts who grew up together.
Later, they fell in love and decided to spend their lives together.
Unfortunately, A Yao is of low birth. Even if she enters the inner court of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, she can only be a maid without any status.
Yao Ma was beautiful and had been proud since childhood, so she didn't want to live that kind of life. So she and Prime Minister Xiao became a pair of dew ducks outside the palace.
Cheating became a daily routine for the two of them.
That year, Prime Minister Xiao's wife was pregnant, and it happened that Nanny Yao was also pregnant.
So she racked her brains and tried her best to find a bright future for her unborn child in order to change her miserable fate as a slave.
*
Therefore, Aunt Yao coaxed Prime Minister Xiao into agreeing that the baby would be secretly given to his wife to raise, and she bribed the midwife to pretend that his wife had given birth to twins.
She was lucky in this matter. When she was giving birth, the Prime Minister's wife also went into labor.
Nanny Yao gave birth to a daughter, who is now Concubine Xiao.
The lady, who was secretly given a large amount of oxytocin, also gave birth to a little boy.
Unfortunately, the baby died at birth, and the two midwives quickly replaced the baby.
From then on, Yao Ma's daughter rose to prominence and became the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, surpassing the status of many of her brothers and sisters in the mansion.
*
A few days later, Nanny Yao successfully entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and became the wet nurse of the eldest daughter.
It is said that Prime Minister Xiao treated this legitimate daughter extremely preciously and loved her very much.
On the day when Nanny Yao entered the mansion,
Prime Minister Xiao took his daughter to the outer courtyard to raise her himself, regardless of the fact that his wife was still in confinement.
And it was natural for the wet nurse Yao Ma to live under the same roof with Prime Minister Xiao.
There is no need to elaborate on what happened.
*
Prime Minister Xiao looked at A-Yao who was crying and about to faint in his arms, and said helplessly,
"Look, our hair has turned white, but you still look like a little girl."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Yao, who had been coaxed into crying, let out a "burp" and stopped crying.
After raising his head and looking at Prime Minister Xiao, he smiled embarrassedly.
"Ayao? What's wrong with your face?"
Only then did Prime Minister Xiao see clearly the large slap mark on Yao Ma's face, which was eye-catching.
Yao Mama was pulled by Prime Minister Xiao and sat on a chair.
Aunt Yao raised her hand and touched her cheek, saying a little aggrievedly,
"Her temper is getting worse and worse, and she even hit me."
As he spoke like a complaint, tears welled up in his eyes again.
*
Prime Minister Xiao wiped away her tears and was speechless for a moment.
Aunt Yao looked up at him in confusion.
"grown ups?"
The two of them have always called each other this way. This is the power of women like Aunt Yao.
She had the secret to defeating all the concubines in the Prime Minister's Mansion and enjoying wealth and glory in the outer world.
She humbled herself and praised Prime Minister Xiao highly, and made him pity her with his admiring eyes and flattery. He could not forget her.
Of course, there is also a prerequisite that Yao Ma was also a great beauty when she was young.
*
"Sir? You heard Ruyue hit me, and you didn't even say a word to comfort me?"
"Ah Yao, do you feel wronged now?"
Prime Minister Xiao, however, laughed out loud.
"When she entered the palace, you didn't have to follow her. For your daughter, you actually abandoned me and made the two of us become a pair of lovebirds for the night.
Twenty years have passed in a flash. I am old. My A-Yao is old too. "
Prime Minister Xiao became emotional when he spoke of this.
He stood up, took out the golden wound medicine from the secret compartment of the bookshelf, walked to Yao Mama, and gently applied the medicine to her.
Aunt Yao looked at Prime Minister Xiao doing all this for her and suddenly fell silent.
She shut her mouth, not wanting to mention the kick in the chest.
*
Prime Minister Xiao spread the ointment on her face and said as if with a hint of warning,
"Ayao, since you have chosen this path, I will just be your wet nurse peacefully.
Although Kisaragi doesn't know the truth, you raised her.
At least Ruyue has special feelings for you. Remember, don't do anything stupid. If the truth comes out, the reputation of King Rui will also be criticized.
Do you remember it?"
There was a hint of criticism in Prime Minister Xiao's words, which made Yao Ma shudder.
"All right! The redness and swelling on your face will be gone in less than half a day!"
After Prime Minister Xiao put down the medicine and wiped his hands, he started to behave dishonestly towards Madam Yao.
After a while, the guards outside the door heard unusual noises in the room.
The guards seemed to be accustomed to it. They straightened their backs and observed their surroundings more vigilantly.
In the study,
Aunt Yao's emotions were completely calmed down. She had an extra golden hairpin on her hair and a smile appeared on her face.
Before leaving, Prime Minister Xiao said lazily,
"Let Ruyue take good care of the baby. What happens next is not her business! However, she did make a great contribution by bringing down the crown prince this time."
