The sky was dark and oppressive, and the clouds were dense, covering the canopy without leaving a single gap. www.biquge.info In the courtyard of the red and willow green, the rain curtains are heavy and dense, even in the hot summer, this light rain also brings a hint of coolness.

Under the eaves of the cloister, a middle-aged lady stands proudly, dressed in a brown brocade dress, her body is plump and well-proportioned, her eyebrows are broad and stretched, her eyes are light, her lips are red, her skin is smooth and creamy, and her demeanor is serene like a Buddha.

She looked at the rain curtain in the courtyard and was silent, as if she was pondering something.

This is the eldest princess of Ziyang, the sister of the king, and the wife of Zhao Chun and Zhao Houye. Weekdays live in a simple place, in the Hou Mansion for 20 years, the changes outside the hospital, do not care about inquiring, because there is nothing to disturb, naturally also quiet, not to mention the need to recite Buddhist scriptures every day, self-cultivation, life is also comfortable.

The wind and rain are miserable, like crying, although the rain is not heavy, but it is very close, and there is a bit of impatience.

"Mother." An elegant voice sounded, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman walked out of the room, with beautiful eyes. Wearing a long aqua blue dress, she has a delicate figure, but compared to her mother, she is obviously too thin and thin.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" Ziyang turned around.

"After reading for a long time, my eyes were tired, so I thought about coming out to see the rain." Zhao Xiaoxiao walked to her mother's side, looking at the blue-gray rain from afar, and a smile spread from the corner of her mouth, "The scorching sun was scorching a few days ago, and people didn't want to come out, but today is good, it's raining, and it's much refreshing." ”

"Yes, a long drought will meet with rain. It's time for this rain to ......"

"Mother, where's my brother?"

"Murong Gongzi is here, I'm afraid that at this moment, we are in your brother's room, playing chess together." Ziyang turned his head and looked at Zhao Xiaoxiao with a little deep meaning, "Xiaoxiao, you have to remember that you are married to the son of the Murong family." The son-in-law came to the house today, apparently looking for Yong'er, but in fact he came to you. She sighed lightly, "Your mind is known to your mother, but you can't always infer that you are sick and have no intention of seeing people, right?" Once or twice, my mother can block it for you, but in the end, you still have to marry into the Murong family. ”

Murong Han is the eldest son of Zuo Xiang's family, Zuo Xiang has always been good friends with Zhao Hou when he was young, and the two are in the same breath, and they once set a baby kiss. But in the next few years, for some reason, the opinions of the two high-ranking officials gradually diverged, and unconsciously there was a rift, and the relationship became more divided.

Helplessly, more than ten years ago, there was a promise first, and the matter of marriage was unavoidable. Seeing that the children are growing up, the relationship between Zuo Xiang and Zhao Hou has eased slightly because of this incident, and there are gradually traces of ice melting.

However, Zhao Xiaoxiao's mind was like ice, and no matter how Murong Han lit the fire to warm it, he was unmoved.

Fortunately, Murong Han is by no means a brute person, he grew up with his brother and treats himself like a brother. But she knew very well in her heart that her respect for her brother was not admiration, and her love had already been given to others.

"Xiaoxiao...... Got it. She muttered, a look of sadness flashing in her eyes.

"Eldest princess, a guest is coming." A little girl came in through the doorway, skirted the long corridor, and came to the two, "He is waiting in the main hall, saying that he wants to see you." ”

"Guests? Who is it? ”

He said, ......" the girl raised her head, smiling, and glancing at the young lady, "He said that the eldest princess does not have to ask who it is, as long as you go and see, you will know." ”

The eldest princess of Ziyang was stunned for a moment, turned her head and glanced at her daughter, confused. Suddenly, she laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll go and see who it is who is putting on such a big face." ”

From the backyard to the front yard, you only need to walk a few promenades. The eldest princess of Ziyang was supported by Xiaoxiao, and after entering the main hall, she saw a man standing with his back to them, looking up at a painting on the wall, very fascinated.

"Brother Su Chen......" Zhao Xiaoxiao first let out a low murmur, her crystal eyes widened, and she looked stunned.

The man turned around when he heard the voice, and when he saw the eldest princess of Ziyang and Zhao Xiaoxiao, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward with a smile, his teeth were like snow, his black eyes were like stars, and he said brightly: "Auntie, Su Chen has come to greet you." He bowed slightly, arching his hands.

"Chen'er, yes, it's you?" The eldest princess of Ziyang frowned, suddenly brightened, and reached out to support his arm, "You're back again, all these years, it's hard to see you." Why, this rebellion in the Western Frontier has been calmed down smoothly? Your body ...... Is there any damage? ”

"Auntie, please rest assured, I'm doing well, and the pacification of the western border is also quite smooth, thanks to the precise deployment of the Wu Ben army, as for me, I am only one who fights with the army." He said with a smile, narrowed his eyes, and pretended to look at Ziyang with deep meaning, "Auntie, although you are at home and do not leave the house, you have heard all the things in the world." ”

The two of them laughed, and they both walked to the seat, where the maid had already brewed the hot tea.

"Sister Xiao, are you okay?" Su Chen walked and turned his head to ask.

Zhao Xiaoxiao lowered her head slightly, two blushes appeared on her face unconsciously, and she bowed slightly, "Okay, everything is fine." ”

After taking a seat, Ziyang sat on the upper seat, Su Chen sat on the chair on the right, and Zhao Xiaoxiao stood beside her mother, pouring tea for her mother and Su Chen, pouring the tea cup and putting it in Su Chen's hand, and standing back to her original seat, silent.

The eldest princess of Ziyang picked up the tea cup and scraped the swirling heat with the lid of the cup, but she did not have the tendency to drink tea, but looked at Su Chen quietly, and her tone was flat: "Say, come today, what are you looking for me?" ”

Su Chen just took a sip, and when he heard this, he hurriedly put down the cup and said with a sneer: "Nothing can escape my aunt's eyes, Su Chen came today for two things." One of them is to thank my aunt that day, after receiving Chen'er's letter, she sent her cronies to the prison to secretly bring out the two of them and save Chen'er's urgent needs. For this, I should come to thank you no matter what. ”

As he spoke, he took out two delicate lockets from his sleeves, got up and walked to his aunt, and handed one to his aunt and the other to Xiaoxiao. The two of them caught the splendid locket, and they didn't know what it meant.

"Here, it's the pearl that Chen'er brought back when she went to Dongyinghai. I also invited my aunt and Qing'er to smile and accept it. ”

"The pearl of the East Ying Sea?" Zhao Xiaoxiao muttered in a low voice, stretched out her slender jade finger, and gently opened the eaves of the box, "The world says that Dongying Sea is rich in pearls and jade, and the jade there is moistened by the beauty of the sea and the sun shines all day long, and the pearls and jade are the only ones in the world, unique." ”

"Well, what Sister Xiao said is extremely true." Su Chen stretched out his voice and looked at her with appreciation, "Xiaoxiao, you know a lot, your brother Su Chen is out of reach." ”

Zhao Xiaoxiao still lowered her head slightly, and smiled, "Brother Su Chen, don't make fun of Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao just heard what people said, or saw it from books, where does Brother Su Chen know more about himself." ”

Ziyang smiled slightly, put the brocade box in his hand on the table, and raised his eyes to look at Su Chen, "What about the second?" ”

"The second is ......" Su Chen took a deep breath, his face became faintly serious, and he looked at his aunt, "Chen'er wants to ask her aunt something." (To be continued.) )
