Chapter 30: Wind and Rain
After glancing at Qi Xuan with a somewhat strange expression, she entered the house.
The old princess in the house had already gotten up to freshen up, but she was a little anxious to call: "Old princess." "Tell the old princess everything about the night.
But after the old princess heard this, her face did not change much, but said: "Good job, when they come in in a while, you can quickly go out and confess, and let the maids and daughters shut up and don't talk nonsense." ”
"Yes, old princess."
Maybe there was the backbone of the old princess, so she suddenly settled down, walked out calmly, and invited Qi Xuan and a few people into the house.
"The old princess."
As soon as Qi Xuan and the others entered the house, they first saluted the old princess, even the eldest prince Xie Jing and the third prince Xie Wen were also average, and they couldn't say that the identity of the old princess was really unusual.
"The two highnesses are polite, the old body is inconvenient, and the hospitality is not good, please Haihan." The old princess laughed.
"Don't say that, old princess." Xie Jing hurriedly got up again and replied.
"Old princess, you're polite." Xie Wen also got up and said: "I heard that you are in poor health, my father and mother are worried, and I happened to come to visit the prince today, of course, I also want to visit you." ”
"Thank you Emperor Zun, Niangniang and the three princes for your concern, the old man is fine, but the age has come, this major illness and minor illness are unavoidable." The old princess said.
The second prince, Xie Wen, and the old princess took the initiative to talk, but the other three people in the room were quiet, and no one planned to join in the conversation. Among them, Qi Xuan is very understanding, and Nie Suhyun is also silent because the Nie family of Zhenguo Gong and the Beiding Royal Mansion do not have a deep relationship, and today he was forced by Xie Wen.
But Xie Jing is also silent, which is very puzzling, but it is incomprehensible, Xie Jing likes Xie Jing's silence very much, the identity of the old princess is not ordinary, if Xie Jing can not get the favor of the old princess, it is very good.
"By the way, old princess, just now when we came to the west side of Shiji, we saw a few carriages parked at the second gate, do you have a visitor?" Coco Xie suddenly changed his words and said softly.
But Coco Xie's voice was very soft, but it became a thunderbolt in the heart of the night.
Qi Xuan on Xie Wen's side also squinted suddenly.
"When the second prince said this, it seems to be true, but the old man was just taking a lunch break, and when he got up, he saw the two highnesses, and he didn't know who was visiting." Only the old princess smiled faintly: "But since the second prince said so, the old body is a little rude, I don't know what else is going on with the two highnesses?" ”
When the old princess's words fell, Xie Wen paused, and then suddenly turned her head sideways, "I don't have anything to do, I don't know ...... the imperial brother."
Xie Jing was holding a cup of tea in his hand, but when Xie Jing pointed the arrow at him, Xie Jing's narrow eyes smiled, "Old princess, it's okay, I'm just thinking about this one, now that the third emperor brother has nothing to do, then we will retire." ”
After speaking, Xie Jing got up, and Xie Wen, who was watching him from the side, seemed to have not expected him to retreat so decisively, and only got up with a smile after a while to leave.
And with the departure of Xie Jing and Xie Wen, of course, Nie Suhyun also saluted the old princess with an iceberg face and left, but only Qi Xuan, after Xie Jing and the three of them had left the house, he got up and saluted the old princess who did not want to leave him.
"Old princess, I don't know if I will say a word to the prince, okay?" Yan Wan said worriedly, after all, the two "evil gods" only said to retire, not to leave.
"No, Xuan'er must be prepared for the worst, and you didn't see those two just now, but you were standing outside the house and waiting." The old princess said leisurely, "Okay, you go out and watch, and after Xuan'er takes them all out of the west side of Shiji, you will quickly call Sister Rong and a few girls over." ”
After seeing Qi Xuan and the others indeed out of the west side of Shiji, he hurried to the east wing and called Xu Youshan and the four of them to see the old princess.
Inside the East Wing
After learning that Xie Wen was coming, Xu Minghuan's face was not only bad, but her body was trembling slightly, and after a burst of clear voices unique to teenagers came in, Xu Mingcheng even remembered the aunt she and Xu Yourong had seen who had been in the palace for many years when they were young.
Jiangzuo's Xu family is now very prosperous, but in fact, many years ago, the Xu family was embarrassed and embarrassed, and if the Xu family wanted to prosper again, the price paid was of course unimaginable, among which not only the men of the Xu family were in danger, but the daughters of the Xu family sacrificed too many unspeakable misfortunes.
And the indelible sadness that occupies the memories of Xu Mingcheng and Xu Yourong is the person who was sent to the palace by the Xu family.
The pearl hairpin wrapped in silk and red gold, the hairpin flower of white jade Ruyi, the treasure knot of tourmaline stone emerald, the ruby earrings of rice grains, the chain of Dongling jade pearl, the Luo shirt with dark patterns of gold and butterflies, the round neck gown with red and white trim and light gold peony satin, and the rose dress with cloud white pattern brocade and blue ...... The endless rare ornaments and gorgeous clothes are the first things that Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng saw when they saw their aunt for the first time, and the second sight, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng saw the eyes full of life, and the miserable white and purple face.
Then, the two of them screamed in shock, such chilling eyes, how could a young child not be afraid? But then, even now, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng can count the several times that the elders have been harsh and terrifying towards them, even in the Qingyuan Pavilion, the eyes of Mrs. Zheng looking at Xu Mingcheng cannot be compared.
"Shut up, how did you teach you on weekdays, how can you be so rude to your elders, are you still the daughter of the Xu family, quickly kneel down and apologize to your aunt."
Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng remember it too much, even if they don't mention the reason for their aunt, just the grandmother and mother who loved and doted on them so much that day looked at them, they will never forget it for the rest of their lives.
And it can be said that Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng, who are almost the only time to kneel down to others to make amends, hate this aunt very much, they are simply the most hated people at that time, but the time that this hate lasts is a bit short.
Aunt is the concubine of Emperor Xuan, and after Emperor Xuandi died, my aunt should have died of old age in the palace. However, after the Xu family assisted Emperor Hui to ascend the throne, Emperor Hui was extremely favored to the Xu family at the beginning, so when his aunt was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was about to die, Xu Luo and Xu Rong made a fold and respectfully invited their aunt to return to their home and spend their last days.
Therefore, in my aunt's last days, I lived in a quiet courtyard in Xu's Mansion in Dongyang Lane - Fengyuzhai.
Later, because of Mrs. Zheng's aunt's love of children, Xu Mingcheng, who thought that she had escaped, was left in Dongyang Lane, and was ordered by the elders with Xu Yourong to serve her aunt in the wind and rain.
