Xiang Lin gently pushed away the maid beside him and strode into the room, his amber eyes crooked and full of smiles. As soon as he entered the house, he saluted Xiang Xuexuan like a maid, raised his head to look at her, and grinned: "Hello to the little birthday star." ”

Seeing him like this, everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh after being stunned, even Xiang Xuexuan shook her head with a smile, and shouted helplessly: "Second brother, why are you ...... casually" but couldn't say the words of accusation. Her second brother has always been informal, even if he talks about him, it will become a wind in his ears in a few days.

Xiang Lin straightened up, and heard Xiang Xuexuan mention the word "casual", but he said with a serious face: "Your second brother and I came this time, but I didn't come casually, I made a special trip to prepare a big gift for you, is it ......" Saying, he paused deliberately, swept the other people in the room, and saw that they all showed curious expressions, and couldn't help but be a little satisfied, but when he swept over Su Xun, his eyes lit up, fell on her, and after several glances, as if he remembered something, he withdrew his eyes, stretched out his hand, and slapped it twice.

"Smack, smack"

With two loud high-fives, I saw four grandmothers outside the door, two carrying a bamboo basket frame covered with red silk cloth, and the other two slowly walked in carrying a small mahogany box.

After the two things were gently lowered to the ground, the four grandmothers stepped aside. Xiang Lin stepped forward, but did not hesitate, leaned over slightly and uncovered the red silk cloth first.

And almost as soon as it was revealed, everyone in the room couldn't help but straighten their eyes.

I saw that the bamboo basket frame was filled with plump and bright red lychees, which were not small, and the branches and leaves connected to them were still verdant, as if they had just been plucked from the tree. Midsummer is indeed the ripening season for lychees, but lychees are grown in the south, so it is not easy to eat fresh lychees in Kyoto. It had to be refrigerated with ice cubes, and then rode fast horses, day and night without stopping. Not to mention the waste of money, it is also very laborious.

Needless to say, this box of lychees was brought back by Xiang Lin in order to celebrate Xiang Xuexuan's birthday. This very thoughtful gift, Xiang Xuexuan looked at it, and naturally felt warm in her heart, don't look at this second brother's rough branches and leaves on weekdays, he is very careful.

Xiang Lin glanced at his sister, seeing that her eyes flashed slightly, he should be very moved, he grinned, and quickly opened the mahogany box, and suddenly a trace of cool air came out, which contained ice cubes that had been clumsed into small pieces. Seeing that he didn't treat people well, Xiang Lin didn't hesitate, he raised his eyes to look at everyone, and said loudly: "Let's all come and eat lychee ice." Then he instructed the grandmothers standing aside to pull their shells and take out the ice.

But after a while, bowls of lychee ice arrived in everyone's hands.

Su Xun sat there, scooped up a spoonful of lychee meat mixed with ice cubes and put it in his mouth, biting and crunching, feeling the sweetness and coldness, his big eyes immediately narrowed comfortably, but at this time, he saw Xiang Lin coming over, coaxed away Lu Baozhu, who was originally sitting on the side, and sat down by himself.

"Yuanyuan, you're here today. Xiang Lin stared at Su Xun with a pair of eyes and said. The little girl is wearing a lotus lotus color full-breasted skirt today, with a flower bud bun on her head, and a pair of honey flower gold silk hollow bead flowers, the more she looks, the more she feels cute and exquisite. It's no wonder that when I saw it for the first time, I couldn't wait to go home and raise it well.

"Well, yes, Brother Xiang Lin is good. Su Xun nodded while chewing on the crushed ice. Seeing Xiang Lin staring at her, he smiled at him slightly. Of course, knowing that Xiang Lin would like her in the future, and he would be stalking, right now, he was staring at himself, Su Xun was somewhat uncomfortable. But in the end, people sent lychees, so you can't treat people coldly.

Xiang Lin saw Su Xun smiling at himself, his eyebrows and eyes seemed to bloom, he thought about it, and ordered someone to take an empty bowl and some unshelled lychees, and plucked the shells himself, and said to Su Xun: "Yuanyuan, I'll allocate some more lychees for you, so that you can eat a few more." ”

Su Xun blinked, didn't speak, just looked at the young man's calloused and slightly thick hand carefully plucking the shell little by little.

On the side of the table, Xiang Xuexuan saw this scene, but the corners of her lips were slightly raised, she also liked Yuan Yuan very much, if in the future, it would be great if the second brother could marry her home. And when she was thinking like this, a maid hurriedly came in and said a few words in her ear, and suddenly, Xiang Xuexuan's little face showed a coquettish smile comparable to her age, she stood up, and only said to everyone that she had to go out beforehand, and then left slowly.

As soon as Xiang Xuexuan left, although the little girls who stayed behind were curious, they were not people with long tongues, they only thought about it in silence, and as for Xiang Lin, he naturally would not interfere in his sister's private affairs, and the room was suddenly quiet.

And in this silence, Su Xun suddenly frowned, and then the little meat hand reached out to his stomach.

Not...... My stomach hurts! I want to ......

Su Xun's face was embarrassed, and he carefully turned around and glanced at Banxia, the personal maid he brought over.

Banxia has also served Su Xun for three years, and naturally understands some of her eyes, and now seeing that the girl's face is not very good-looking, she immediately stepped forward and went over with her ears.

"I want to go to Gongfang. Su Xun said in a low voice.

When Banxia heard this, she glanced at Su Xun's little hand covering her stomach, and immediately understood, she stretched out her hand and was about to hug Su Xun, but at this time, a pair of hands suddenly appeared.

Xiang Lin hugged Su Xun with a smile, he had excellent ear power since he was a child, how could he not hear Su Xun's words just now, he glanced at the girl in his arms with a somewhat stunned expression, and said very seriously: "I am familiar with this house, or let me take her there." As he spoke, without waiting for anyone to react, he strode out of the house.

In the house, when I saw the two of them go out, it was quiet again.

Lu Baozhu glanced at Banxia, who was stunned, and said cautiously: "Yuanyuan, what's wrong?"

Without waiting for Banxia to answer, there was a strange voice in the corner: "Do you still need to guess?

"Jingjiao!" On the side, Liang Jingshu frowned slightly, whispered, and then looked around apologetically.

Liang Jingjiao snorted coldly, feeling a little aggrieved in her heart, she was just telling the truth, why didn't she let her say it? But she looked around, saw that no one paid attention to her, bit her lip, and said no more.

At this time, Su Xun was nested in Xiang Lin's arms, she was looking confused, she raised her head slightly and looked at the handsome face, and said in her heart, do you want him to let him go down, but a burst of pain in her stomach hit her, making her honestly shut up.

When he arrived in front of Gongfang, Su Xun got off the ground, and his calves rubbed the ground and he was about to run in, but at a glance, he saw Xiang Lin standing in place, looking at her intently, without the slightest intention of leaving.

Su Xunxiao frowned, even if she was only five years old now, if there was a man standing outside when she was stinky, she would feel very embarrassed.

"Brother Xiang Lin, Yuan Yuan knows the way, you better go back first. Su Xun endured the pain and squeezed out a smile with difficulty, but a small fleshy face was actually a little grinning because of the smile.

"I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait for Yuanyuan. Xiang Lin grinned and said firmly.

I'm not in a hurry......?!

Su Xun couldn't help puffing out her face, a pair of big eyes were about to tears, she covered her stomach and fluttered her eyelashes, but the next moment, this eye rolled, as if she remembered something, she raised her eyes to look at Xiang Lin again, and said pitifully: "Brother Xiang Lin, Yuan Yuan will come out and want to wash his hands after a while, can you help me prepare some fragrant pancreas and milk?" And here, she believes that there must not be such an exquisiteness.

Xiang Lin was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "So exquisite?" But when he glanced up and down at the jade dumplings, and finally his eyes fell on the hands of the little flesh that was as white as snow and weak and boneless, he couldn't help nodding and immediately turned around and left.

When Su Xun saw that the person was gone, his heart was also relieved, and he hurriedly ran into the Gong room. When her stomach stopped hurting and she came out of it, she tidied up her clothes and washed her hands with water on the spot, but this Lin hadn't come back yet, and Su Xun naturally didn't want to wait outside Gongfang.

Su Xun pondered in his heart for a while, and decided to go back to Sanssouci Courtyard by himself.

Although she doesn't come to this mansion often, in her memory, the original body has also been here several times, so she is still familiar with the road to Sanssouci Courtyard.

Su Xun walked back slowly with his short legs, and when he arrived at a rockery in the back garden, he happened to see Xiang Xuexuan, who was smiling brightly on her beautiful little face, and her eyes were also shining, looking at a young man standing opposite her.

It turns out that Xiang Xuexuan came out to meet people?

And this young man stood with his back to him, wearing a white jade bamboo brocade robe, and his hair was tied up with a mutton fat jade hairpin.

Su Xun blinked, and was thinking about whether to step forward and call out, but suddenly, he heard Xiang Xuexuan call, "Cousin Rui." ”

When he boarded, Su Xunxiao's body trembled, and he quickly shrank behind the rockery, and said in his heart: I almost forgot that Princess Xu was born in the Xiang family, yes, in terms of relationship, Xiao Rui and Xiang Xuexuan are really cousins and cousins. And this young man is not Xiao Rui, who else can it be?

However, she always thought that Xiao Rui had no relationship with the Xiang family. After all, don't say that Princess Xu is dead, even if she is still alive, the relationship with the Xiang family is not very good.

To say that this Princess Xu is also a fateful person, she was sick and bedridden in her early years, and once she got better, she was ordered to be a hard husband, and fortunately met King Xu who fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to accept her as a concubine. But this happiness only lasted for a few years, King Xu was fine, but she fell ill and died. And on the day of her funeral, no one from the Xiang Mansion went, which shows that their relationship is estranged.

But right now, the relationship between Xiang Xuexuan and Xiao Rui is not bad~

Su Xun carefully glanced at Xiang Xuexuan's bright eyes again, and a rumor in his dream suddenly popped up in his mind: Emperor Deyuan knew that the queen had other people in her heart, so he didn't favor him......

This rumor...... Could it be true? and someone else is......

Xiang Lin held a silk bag filled with fragrant pancreatic beans and a sheepskin bag filled with milk, hurried over, and saw a pink meat dumpling nested under the rockery, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

He deliberately slowed down, stepped forward lightly, and then picked up the little man who was in a daze, and when he saw the fleshy face looking at him blankly, his heart moved, and he involuntarily leaned over.

"Smack"

The lips landed unceremoniously on the soft cheeks.

At this time, Su Xun was even more confused, but for some reason, she subconsciously glanced back.

The two people who were strolling in the garden had not gone far, as if they had noticed someone behind the rockery, and they both looked this way. Xiang Xuexuan saw that it was Xiang Lin and Su Xun, so she smiled a little and called out. As for Xiao Rui on the side, he stood there, his posture was straight, his handsome face was expressionless, as if he was ruthless, and his eyes were deep, but he was faintly cold.

His eyes seemed to fall on Su Xun's face intentionally or unintentionally.

Couldn't help it, Su Xun hurriedly turned around, only to feel a tingling on his scalp.
