Just as Liu Xuan thought, the singing outside became quieter and quieter, and after a few days, everything was calm again.

In the past few days, Deng Yu has not been looking for her, Liu Xuan has sent Qiu Ju to investigate, and the answer is that Deng Yu went to investigate the mastermind behind the rumors.

When he saw Deng Yu a few days ago, he also said that everything was already in place, but only a few days later, he needed to go out in person, which shows that the main forces behind this are strong and the background is strong.

Liu Xuan really couldn't figure out what big man he had offended, and that person had to put him to death.

After a few more days, seeing that the day of King Ning's expedition was getting closer and closer, Deng Yu finally showed up.

He looked at Liu Xuan with a look of wanting to say something, obviously the matter was not done, or this matter could not be said to Liu Xuan at all.

Liu Xuan smiled at him very clearly: "If there is anything you can't say, or you don't want to say it, you don't say it, this turmoil has passed, and I have not been harmed." ”

Deng Yu showed a complicated look on his face when he heard this, he moved his lips and finally just let out a long sigh: "You can forget about this matter in the future." ”

Liu Xuan smiled knowingly, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Her appearance of being so kind made Deng Yu a little annoyed for a while, and he glared at Liu Xuan: "Aren't you curious at all, who is trying to harm you?" ”

Liu Xuan blinked her eyes and shook her head: "People in the world often say that curiosity kills cats, and I am a person who is afraid of death, so I naturally dare not be curious, not to mention that what can make you look like this must be something I can't ask, since I can't ask, why be curious?" ”

Deng Yu seemed to be choked by her words. I kept my mouth open but was speechless.

Time always flies quickly, Liu Xuan is more worried about the arrival of winter, but this winter seems to come faster, in the blink of an eye, the yellow leaves have fallen to the ground, and the autumn wind is gradually replaced by the cold wind, and the winter that she has never dared to think about finally has arrived.

On the day of the winter solstice, King Ning was personally sent out of the city by the current saint and the crown prince.

Liu Xuan rushed to sew a winter coat for King Ning before he set out on the expedition, and she didn't send it on the day of the expedition.

Not daring to face Li Che is only one aspect. What's more, she couldn't watch King Ning say goodbye to the Holy Lord.

This distinction is the difference between life and death. The Holy Lord must know better than anyone else in her heart, and she couldn't imagine how such a high-ranking king could send King Ning away with a smile.

Li Che once said that if the saint died, King Ning would never live alone. It can be seen how deep the relationship between the saint and King Ning is. Such a parting. She didn't dare to look.

After King Ning set out on the expedition, Deng Yu became even busier, although he was busy, he also took time to see her from time to time. Liu Xuan watched him come and go every time, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What are you busy with every day?" ”

Deng Yu looked at her with an aggrieved gaze: "I have waited for a long time, and finally waited for your sentence, you don't know, how many things the old man threw away to the master after leaving, not to mention the guards in Beijing, the Deng family army outside the capital alone needs to practice every day, and the master is not skilled at all, and he can't wait to have three heads and six arms." ”

Liu Xuan saw that he looked aggrieved, smiled and comforted: "If you are busy, let Dalong and them come to inform, I will make some of your favorite meals and let them send them to you." ”

Deng Yu immediately smiled when he heard this: "Look at the sake of being so distressed by the master, the previous days when he ignored the master, the master was generous and didn't care." ”

Liu Xuan just wanted to roll her eyes at him, but her lips suddenly softened, and when she came back to her senses, where was Deng Yu's shadow beside her!

She looked at the empty courtyard with tears and laughter, and sighed helplessly.

As the weather gets colder and colder, the worry in Liu Xuan's heart is getting heavier and heavier, when the first snow falls on the day, Liu Xuan can only wrap herself in a fox fur, sit in the study every day, and force herself not to worry, not to think, not to ask.

Another year is approaching, and there is no more nonsense outside, and on this day, Liu Xuan received a message from Liu's mother, asking her to go to Caofu with her tomorrow to enjoy the plums.

When it comes to Cao Mansion, Liu Xuan's first thought is Cao Ying, I don't know how she has been recently, when everyone avoided her, Cao Ying came to visit and support her, she has always remembered this kindness, and I don't know if I can see her tomorrow.

For Cao Mansion, in addition to Cao Ying, Liu Xuan thought of the original Concubine Cao, Li Che promised that she would never see that woman again, thinking that the woman would not be there tomorrow, thinking of the only side of the Temple that day, Liu Xuan felt quite emotional.

Since Liu's mother specially sent someone to call her, it must have been the Cao family who made it clear that she would go together, so it was just right, when she was not in Beijing, Liu's mother must have suffered the eyes of many noblewomen, and after she returned to Beijing, there were rumors that Liu's mother must have been affected by her.

This time, I went to fight for face for Liu's mother.

If Liu Xuan in the past would not have such thoughts, but now she is no longer the Liu family Axuan of Shudi, she is still the righteous daughter of Mrs. Liu, and she still bears the mark of the Liu family on her body, and some things are inevitable.

Since she can't be celibate outside the world, she can only integrate into the world.

Early the next morning, Liu Xuan dressed up, put on a fox fur, and stepped into the carriage to Liufu.

Mother Liu was waiting for her in the courtyard as usual, and when she saw her, she had to redress her, this was the way Mother Liu loved her, and Liu Xuan was happy to accept it.

Liu's mother's craftsmanship is as good as ever, and after she redressed, Liu Xuan is even more outstanding.

Mother Liu looked at her and smiled with satisfaction: "After a year, Xuan'er has grown a little more, and this temperament and appearance are even more than before." I'm afraid that no one will dare to call the capital double pearl with you anymore. ”

Liu Xuan smiled: "My stepmother said that she was joking, Xuan'er is already twenty-eight years old, how can she talk about Changkai." ”

Liu Mu patted her hands, and her eyes were full of love: "You, don't you still think that you are old in twenty-eight years?" When you reach the age of your stepmother, and then look at the twenty-eight-year-old girl, you will naturally use the word Changkai. ”

Liu Xuan nodded helplessly and said yes, she must still be a child in the eyes of Liu's mother. Even though she thinks she is the kind of person who is not old and has a decrepit heart.

The mother and daughter went out with a smile, got into the carriage and went straight to Cao's mansion.

When they arrived, there were already a lot of noble ladies in Cao's house, different from last year, all the noble ladies saw Liu Mu and Liu Xuan, their faces had faded a lot, Liu Mu led Liu Xuan all the way to the backyard by the maids, and when they reached the path, Liu Mu snorted softly: "A bunch of stupid women." ”

Liu Xuan immediately laughed when she heard this, she felt that Mother Liu was sometimes quite casual, without the dignified and serious of a first-class lady, she smiled and nodded and agreed: "What the stepmother said is true." It's just a bunch of stupid women. Ignore it. ”

Mother Liu glanced at her when she heard this, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

The maid who led the way in front heard the laughter of the two, and couldn't help but glance back, and Liu Mu noticed the maid's gaze. Immediately smiled, coughed lightly, and said, "The courtyard of this Cao Mansion is really big." I wonder where your second lady is at the moment? ”

The maid also seemed to notice that something was wrong with her gaze. Immediately lowered his head and said respectfully: "The second lady is enjoying the plum blossoms with the ladies and ladies in the garden, and it is not far in front of you." ”

In fact, Liu Mu just talked casually, and when she heard the maid's reply, she nodded and said, "Hurry up and lead the way." ”

The maid bowed her head in response. Then he stopped talking, and led Liu Mu and Liu Xuan all the way to the garden.

When she came to the garden, Liu Xuan saw a few red plum trees at a glance, under the flowers, the second lady Cao was enjoying the flowers, she was wrapped in a green coat wrapped in fox fur, and was surrounded by a group of women, I don't know who found Liu Mu and Liu Xuan first, and whispered, that second lady Cao and everyone immediately looked over here.

Mother Liu took Liu Xuan's hand and walked towards them with a smile on her face.

When they walked not far away, Second Mrs. Cao smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this Mrs. Liu and Miss Liu, they made an appointment to get together, but it's almost noon." ”

As soon as Second Lady Cao's words fell, a woman beside her opened her mouth: "Mrs. Liu is a first-class edict sealed by the Holy Lord, so naturally the shelf is bigger." ”

After the woman finished speaking, everyone who was good friends with Mrs. Cao on weekdays sneered, and those who were good friends with Mother Liu on weekdays immediately greeted her and said, "Sister, don't be angry, my sister is late today, and everyone is talking about you." ”

Liu Mu glanced at the people who were laughing, raised her eyebrows and said: "What do I have to be angry about, what she said is the truth, I am a first-class edict sealed by the Holy Lord, and my identity is naturally higher than them, and it is common sense that the shelf is a little bigger." ”

Liu Xuan never thought that Liu's mother would have such a strong side, and couldn't help but smile slightly, yes, if Liu's mother was really as gentle as she saw on weekdays, how could Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Feng in Liufu have no children under their knees, and how could Liu's mother be comfortable in this noble lady in Beijing.

As soon as Liu Mu's words came out, the few people who were originally laughing suddenly looked a little embarrassed, and Liu Mu didn't care at all, and took Liu Xuan's hand forward.

The woman who came to welcome Liu's mother saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so she smiled and made a round, turned her eyes to Liu Xuan and praised: "Miss Liu is becoming more and more beautiful. ”

Liu Xuan smiled slightly when she heard the praise: "Mrs. Song has won the award." ”

Mrs. Song was slightly stunned and then smiled: "It's hard for Miss Liu to remember me." ”

"Naturally, I remember." Liu Xuan smiled and said, "I wonder if Miss Song has come today?" Last year, I was amazed by the paintings she made. ”

Mrs. Song heard that Liu Xuan praised her daughter, and her smile was even stronger: "She suffered from the wind and cold yesterday, and she is resting in the house today. ”

It was Song Xuanzheng's wife who spoke, when Liu's mother held a banquet last year, Liu Xuan had some impressions of her, especially her daughter Miss Song, who seemed to be a cowardly character, but it was really a matter of time, but she was generous and not stage frightened.

Mrs. Song and Liu Xuan were talking as if no one was around, and Second Mrs. Cao was a little unhappy, she coughed lightly and glanced at a woman beside her, who immediately understood her thoughts, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, there were some rumors in Beijing, I don't know if Miss Liu has been affected?" ”

Mother Liu's attitude today gave Liu Xuan a demonstration, Liu Xuan already knew what kind of attitude to use to deal with these ill-intentioned women, and when she heard this, she smiled and said: "Since this lady knows that it is rumors, how can she use it today, I remember that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that if anyone mentions this matter again, it will be severely punished." ”

As soon as these words came out, the woman who had originally prepared the afterword suddenly shut up, although the prince said that he had withdrawn, but he still understood Liu Xuan's maintenance of everyone, His Royal Highness the prince's prestige had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the woman swallowed her saliva and stopped talking.

With a smile on her face, Liu Xuan raised her head and swept over the people who originally had bad intentions: "If you have any thoughts about those rumors, you might as well ask the prince first?" ”

At this time, those women suddenly shut up one by one, and Second Lady Cao looked at Liu Xuan and smiled coldly: "Miss Liu is a good method, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has withdrawn from the marriage, and he can still let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ignore his identity and go to your Yipinxiang to reason with those students in person." ”

"Second Mrs. Cao's words are wrong." Liu Xuan raised his eyes to look at her and said with a faint smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just doesn't like such nonsense, if anyone suffers such a thing, His Royal Highness will treat the people like a son like a son, do you think this is the reason?" ”

As soon as her voice fell, the woman squeaked and nodded yes, they dared to say yes, didn't they? If not, wouldn't it be nonsense like such a student? If it is not, doesn't it mean that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not love the people like a son?

Liu Xuan asked them like this, and they only dared to nod and say yes.

Second Mrs. Cao's face was ugly for a while, and she was speechless for a while, but she suddenly seemed to think of something, and said with a smile at the moment: "Count the days, I'm afraid that Concubine Wu will give birth in these days, right?" Although Concubine Wu is a concubine, she is the daughter of Zuo Xiang, and she is pregnant with the first heir of the prince. ”

The women around Second Lady Cao immediately smiled and nodded when they heard this.

Liu Xuan suppressed the tumbling of her heart, nodded with a smile: "What Second Mrs. Cao said is reasonable, but it's a pity that the two young ladies of the Cao family are gone." ”

As soon as Liu Xuan's words fell, the smile on the face of the second lady Cao suddenly retreated, and she couldn't even pretend to be kind on her face, she hadn't forgotten how the eldest girl of the Cao family changed from a side concubine to a concubine who could be sent away at any time, and immediately said angrily to Liu Xuan: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Liu Xuan blinked her eyes, not letting go of her anger at all, she looked ignorant and ignorant, looked at Second Mrs. Cao and said, "I just followed Madame's words and sighed." ”

"You!" Second Mrs. Cao was extremely angry for a while, and pointed at Liu Xuan with one hand.

Mother Liu, who was on the side, suddenly snorted coldly: "I thought that Second Mrs. Cao was kind enough to invite me and Xuan'er to come to enjoy the plum blossoms, but I saw that this was not the case, since this is the case, I will stay with Xuan'er for a short time." (To be continued......)
