"One thing?" The eldest princess of Ziyang raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?" ”

Su Chen lowered his head, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and it seemed difficult to speak. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Xiaoxiao saw that he was so difficult, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Su Chen, just say it, if your mother knows, she will tell you without concealing it." ”

The eldest princess of Ziyang nodded, her posture was elegant, her back was straight, her hands were folded on her legs, she looked up at Su Chen slightly, her face was peaceful, waiting for him to speak.

"Chen'er wants to ask," after a long time, Su Chen finally raised his head, "I want to ask when Nanguo and Xizhou were at war, my father took Zhao Hou and General Qi Zhao and others to Nanxi to reinforce the Xizhou army. After the Battle of Nanxi, Zhao Hou came back, did he bring back anything? ”

As soon as he spoke, he stared intently at the eldest princess of Ziyang, holding his breath, as if he didn't dare to take his eyes off for a moment.

The eldest princess of Ziyang clearly saw that there was a fire in his dark eyes, which was extremely bright, and she waited for her reply with great anticipation. She was speechless for a long time, she couldn't bear his fiery gaze, and finally lowered her eyes, but her hand unconsciously tightened the handkerchief.

Su Chen saw her hang her head, a little flustered and anxious in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, do you know what Zhao Hou brought back?" Though...... Although it has been many years, I still ask my aunt to recall it carefully, and if she remembers anything, she must tell Chen'er. ”

Zhao Xiaoxiao stood aside, listening to his tone, and secretly felt that this matter was not a trivial matter, involving his father who went to war with the army back then. But at that time, she was not yet born and knew nothing about it, so she was extremely puzzled and looked at her mother in confusion.

"I don't remember anything about the past." The eldest princess of Ziyang lowered her eyebrows, and picked up the hot tea again, "How many years have passed, and the property he brought back at the beginning must be a few burdens, how can I tell the ......?"

"Where are all the things piled up now? Can my aunt take Chen'er over to have a look? ”

"You know, I've never seen anything dirty, and those possessions were all owned by the South, but they were snatched back and brought to my house. Therefore, when Zhao Chun brought back the belongings, I ordered them to go down and distribute them to the subordinates one by one, and all of them were scattered, and none of them remained in the mansion. ”

Hearing this, Su Chen was stunned, his eyes were sluggish, and his face was stained with a layer of disappointment.

"Chen'er, you ask this, what are you doing?" The eldest princess of Ziyang spoke lightly and moved the teacup in her hand to her lips.

Su Chen shook his head and said gloomily: "It's nothing, it's just ...... It's just that the three friends in the general's mansion, among them, two sisters and brothers, were old people in the south, and they were bent on finding one thing, and that was them...... Mother's relics. ”

He didn't want to have more children, so he just said it briefly and vaguely, and blurred the matter over.

Who knows, after hearing this, the eldest princess of Ziyang raised her head, looked stunned, and frowned at him, "You mean, among the things that Zhao Chun brought back, there are the relics of Miss Lin's mother?" ”

Su Chen nodded.

The eldest princess of Ziyang looked surprised and seemed to be in disbelief. But after a while, her expression suddenly relaxed, and she smiled softly: "How is this possible, the things he brought back at the beginning were all royal things, could it be ...... That Miss Lin and Young Master Lin are still the heirs of the Southern Royal Family? ”

"It's not the heir of the royal family, it's the one who served in the palace. When the thing was lost, it was naturally brought back by my father's people, but now, my father didn't have it in my father's hands, I didn't have it in the general's mansion, and my aunt didn't have it here, so they were really disappointed. With that, he sighed softly.

"Have you asked your father?" The eldest princess of Ziyang was slightly suspicious.

"I haven't asked, but we haven't found it in the palace yet. Auntie, don't mention this in front of your father, for I'm afraid he will be suspicious. ”

"Okay, aunt promises you." The eldest princess of Ziyang smiled warmly, and slowly put the teacup on the table, "The relic you mentioned, not to mention a drop in the ocean, it is difficult to find, even if it is really in the mansion, how many years have passed, even if this mansion is turned upside down, my aunt is afraid that she will not be able to find it for you." So, Chen'er, you have to be considerate of your aunt. ”

After hearing this, Su Chen hurriedly bowed down and said, "I can't blame my aunt for this matter, it's Chen'er's improper consideration." ”

After sitting in the Hou Mansion for a while, the three of them chatted for a long time. The rain outside the window gradually decreased, the sky cleared, and the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard mixed with the fragrance of the earth wafted faintly, which made people feel refreshed.

"Okay, I'm a little tired, I need to go back to the house for a while." The eldest princess of Ziyang stood up, Zhao Xiaoxiao hurriedly reached out to help, and was held down by her mother and gently pushed back.

"Chen'er, if you have nothing to do, go to the East Courtyard to chat with Yong'er, your brothers may not have seen each other for a long time." She said, "It's just right, take Xiaoxiao with you, her marriage with Murong Han is getting closer and closer day by day." But this girl, you know, has always been timid and cowardly, and you can persuade her a little more. ”

Su Chen also stood up, but was stunned after hearing this, turned his head to look at Zhao Xiaoxiao, but saw her stunned and panicked face, and turned around and asked, "Auntie, Xiaoxiao is really going to marry Murong Han?" ”

"yes." She said lightly.

"Yes...... But is Xiaoxiao willing? ”

The eldest princess of Ziyang took a deep breath and looked straight ahead, "For more than ten years of marriage, it is impossible to say that you will not count if you don't count. ”

A very light word, but it echoed in the room like a bell. Su Chen's face was still stunned, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Xiaoxiao, only to see that her pale little face was red, tears flashed in her eyes, but her hands were twisted together, and the handkerchief in her hand was grabbed out of the strangulation marks.

"Okay, Su Chen knows." He bowed slightly, feeling sorry for Xiaoxiao like a brother in his heart.

On the way to Zhao Huayong's room, the two walked silently on the verandah, and did not talk for a long time. Along the way, Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't dare to look at Su Chen, but just lowered her head fiercely and followed him while wiping her tears. And Su Chen, knowing that Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't mean Murong Han in her heart, but she didn't know how to comfort her, and she was also depressed in her heart.

As they approached the door, they stopped at the corner of the verandah.

Su Chen turned around and faced Zhao Qingqing, hesitated for a long time before he said softly: "Xiaoxiao, actually...... What my aunt said is not wrong, Murong Gongzi is a talented person, and you are a good girl, a talented and beautiful woman, you two are very compatible. As for you, you must be happy, the woman will marry after all, and the sadness is only temporary. Our Xiaoxiao, when we grow up, we can't cry easily......"

As he spoke, he curled his fingers and scratched Xiaoxiao's nose.

At this move, Zhao Xiaoxiao cried even more fiercely, she ignored the shock and worry on Su Chen's face, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, turned around and ran away, in the direction of the boudoir.

Su Chen stood in place in surprise, looking at Zhao Xiaoxiao's figure running away, full of doubts in his heart. (To be continued.) )
