Thinking about what happened not long ago, Xia Yao fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up again, it was already too late, and Lu'er was sleeping on the table, and she was snoring.

Seeing this, Xia Yao clumsily put on her clothes. Then he slapped Lu'er awake and walked towards the place where Xuanyuan Luo and them were playing chess before.

The scene in the courtyard was similar to when Xia Yao left, except that the people playing chess became the eldest princess and the second prince Xuanyuan Hao.

Xia Li sat on the side with a smile on her face and complimented the eldest princess, but her eyes were full of impatience. Xuanyuan Luo sat on the side and picked up a cup of tea, seemingly contemplative.

Xia Yao naturally knew what he was thinking now, but he didn't break it. Instead, after saluting, he sat down generously under Xuanyuan Luo, "Because my body has delayed everyone's time, Xia Yao is really ashamed in her heart." At this point, she covered her mouth and coughed twice.

Seeing this, the eldest princess threw the chess pieces in her hand back into the chess box, "No more." ”

Xuanyuan Hao began to pack up the chessboard and said nothing.

"What's there to be ashamed of, anyway, on this hot day, we can't go out." The eldest princess sat beside Xia Yao, held her hand, carefully measured it for a moment, and then laughed, "This rest, people's spirits are much better." ”

After Xia Yao woke up from sleep, two blushes appeared on her cheeks, and her complexion was obviously much better.

"The temperature has also gone down, so let's go out for a walk." The eldest princess seemed to be asking for the opinions of everyone present, but her eyes kept staring at Xia Yao.

Xia Yao naturally didn't refuse without a face, and of course she didn't agree hastily, but turned her head to look at Xuanyuan Luo, "It's not easy to come out, it's a pity not to go out for a walk, what do you think, Fifth Highness?" ”

"Hmm!" Xuanyuan Luo looked at Xia Yao for two seconds and nodded in response.

A group of five people, plus their respective servants, walked towards the osmanthus forest outside the temple.

The osmanthus flowers in August bloom just right, and you can smell the fragrance from afar. They meander along the gravel path to a quaint pavilion. Five people, Xia Yao and the eldest princess sat together, and the other three sat opposite each other.

The maidservants successively brought all kinds of small snacks from the temple and placed them on the small square table, filling the whole table.

The eldest princess kept pulling Xia Yao, smiling with her eyebrows and eyes, and asked her about her childhood.

Xia Yao combined the interesting stories of her childhood with the current background, and told her half-truths little by little. The eldest princess's mouth was hooked all the way up.

Xia Li, who was left out on the side, had no chance to interject, so she could only stiffly maintain a smirk.

Xia Yao obviously also found that the home field here had been occupied by her, and she suddenly changed the topic and fell on Xuanyuan Luo, "Your Highness doesn't seem to be very emotional, is it a dim sum that doesn't fit?" "Xia Yao hasn't forgotten Jì, she came here to hug Xuanyuan Luo's thighs, and it is good to get engaged early, but she can't lose her big because of a small one.

Xuanyuan Luo was alone in a daze, and was suddenly a little dazed when he was nominated, "Ah! What ......"

"Do you eat osmanthus cake?" Xia Yao brought a plate of dim sum to Xuanyuan Luo's face, and said with a smile: "The osmanthus cake at this time is made with the freshest osmanthus flowers, and it tastes great." ”

Xuanyuan Luo has never liked to eat dry things like pastries, but when he saw Xia Yao bringing pastries to him like a treasure, his beautiful apricot eyes clearly reflected his figure. He couldn't help but blush, quickly picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth, then turned his head and responded with a little nervousness, "Still... Not bad, right? ”

Damn it. Xuanyuan Luo secretly scolded himself in his heart, when did you become so unproductive, just talking to a woman.

After cheering himself up, he turned his head back and stared at Xia Yao for two seconds with a look of disbelief, and then silently turned his head back under Xia Yao's smiling face.

At this time, Xia Yao was also covered with blood by Xuanyuan Luo's children's arrogant actions, and she was dumbfounded! It's so cute, it's good to be my own son.

The eldest princess watched the interaction between the two of them, and there was a moment of nostalgia in her eyes. But it soon disappeared, and then happily sat on the side and watched the two of them.

Under Xia Yao's scorching (?) love (?) With his eyes, Xuanyuan Luo pushed the pastry in front of Xia Yao, "You can taste it too." ”

"Uh-huh." Xia Yao nodded stupidly, picked up a piece of pastry and slowly nibbled on it.

The power of the cute baby is not something that Xia Yao, an old virgin who is already twenty-eight years old, can resist.

You take a bite and I take a sip, and the two of them take the tea, and unconsciously eat all the choked osmanthus cakes into their stomachs. Looking at the empty plate, the two of them blinked, and at the same time their ears were red, relatively speechless.

The eldest princess and Xuanyuan Hao on the side couldn't help laughing, and Xuanyuan Hao teased even more: "Is this plate of pastries really so delicious?" I didn't leave a little for the royal brother to taste. ”

When the eldest princess heard this, she also helped on the side: "...... It's not a good snack, it's a person who delivers something, okay! This was actually a bit too much, but Xia Yao, who had crossed over in modern times, didn't notice anything, but Xuanyuan Luo couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help shouting, "Auntie." ”

The smile on the eldest princess's face stopped, she glanced at the thin Xuanyuan Luo, and turned her head without saying anything.

The atmosphere cooled in vain.

Xuanyuan Luo slowly beckoned the servant to withdraw all the snacks, and said directly: "It's not early, it's time for us to go home." Then he left without giving everyone time to react.

Xia Yao pretended to be at a loss and looked at the eldest princess, and asked in a low voice, "I just ...... Is there something going wrong? ”

The eldest princess touched Xia Yao's head, looked at her with panic in her eyes, and gently comforted: "No, you did a good job." With that, he reached out and took off the fine jade bracelet in his hand, and handed it to Xia Yao with his own hands, "Luo'er's temper is sometimes very bad, please take care of Miss Xia more." This bracelet was given to me by the Queen Mother, and now I give it to you. You'll be in the future! It's my niece and daughter-in-law. ”

Xia Yao hurriedly excused herself, "This can't be done...... How can I take something so valuable? ”

The eldest princess took Xia Yao's hand and put the crystal clear jade bracelet into her hand, "You have to accept this." She patted Xia Yao's hand comfortingly, "This is what I passed to my niece and daughter-in-law, do you say you should accept it." ”

Xia Yao was surprised and didn't touch the bracelet with her other hand, blushing and not knowing how to speak.

The eldest princess looked at the shy appearance of her little daughter's family and nodded with satisfaction.

On the way back, the eldest princess and Xuanyuan Luo rode in the same carriage, Xia Yao and Xia Li were together, and Xuanyuan Hao took her personal maid in a carriage alone. The rest of the servants followed in chariots that complied with the specifications.

Xia Yao and Xia Li looked at each other and hated each other, and the two naturally had nothing to say all the way. Inside the other carriage, there was an argument.

Xuanyuan Luo's biological mother died when he was three years old, and although the saint spoils him today, he is a man after all, without the carefulness and gentleness of a woman. The eldest princess watched him grow up all the way, although she was nominally his aunt, but in fact, in Xuanyuan Luo's heart, she was no different from her mother.

The eldest princess Xuanyuan Jing has always protected this nephew like an eyeball, but today she couldn't help but ask a few words, "If you are angry, don't show your face to show the little girl, I think that child is very good, strange and cute." ”

Xuanyuan Luo's heart was still irritable, and his speech was two points sharper than usual, "Don't you know what anger I have in my heart?" With such a body, why should I delay other little girls. ”

The eldest princess didn't know whether she was angry or anxious when she heard this, her whole body was trembling slightly, and her face was ugly, "Your body!" What's wrong with your body? Yes! Haven't we been calling the Imperial Doctor to watch all these years? Didn't you say that if you take good care of it, you'll be fine? ”

Speaking of this, the haze between Xuanyuan Luo's eyebrows and eyes became heavier, he simply turned his head, and his voice also revealed a little dull, "Don't lie to me, I know I won't live long." This disease that came out of the mother's womb, can it be better and will it be delayed until now? ”

When the eldest princess saw him looking lifeless, she resented God's injustice even more. How could such a good child be sentenced to death as soon as he was born.

She whispered comfortingly, "It's okay, Luo'er, we will definitely find a way." She didn't believe what she said, but she could only do it verbally.

Xuanyuan Luo knew that his aunt was not more comfortable than him, so in order not to make her more sad, he had to turn his head and smile and say, "Okay, aunt, isn't this something I knew for a long time?" Why be sad about it. Then he changed the topic and said, "I think that although the girl of the Xia family is good, she is not suitable for me." In the future, we should have less contact with her. ”

The eldest princess looked shocked, "Why is it not suitable?" "Obviously, when we had a snack together just now, I had a concubine who was interested. Now it's not appropriate in a few minutes? Are you bluffing me?

Xuanyuan Luo leaned on the cushion, looking like he didn't want to say more, "Anyway, I don't think I'm suitable for her, and this marriage hasn't been decided, so it's just like that." ”

The eldest princess frowned and thought carefully for a while, then faintly understood something, and sighed, "You must get married." I have given away all the heirloom bracelets left to me by my mother, and I have already identified her as my niece and daughter-in-law. ”

"What did you say?" Xuanyuan Luo, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes suddenly, and his clear and bright eyes proved that his owner had not fallen asleep.

Seeing this, the eldest princess didn't want to say more, so she directly named the point, "You don't want to get married and you want to hide it from me, aren't you afraid that if something happens to you, she will become a widow?" Since other girls are not afraid, you are a man, what do you look like crookedly? ”

Xuanyuan Luo opened his mouth to defend Xia Yao, "She is still young and doesn't understand ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted again by the eldest princess, "Little? She remembers that the girl of the Xia family is the same year as you, and she will be married next year, is this still young? ”
