"Isn't that the truth!" Qiu Ju smiled and nodded: "The prince is angry, but the young lady still looks ignorant, and he is embarrassed to say it clearly, so he naturally wants to leave in anger." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xuan thought about her previous conversation with Deng Yu, carefully recalled his appearance at that time, and said helplessly: "I haven't thought about it at all." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Ju and Dong Mei gradually smiled, and the two of them looked at each other with a sad look in their eyes, Dong Mei hesitated and asked, "Didn't Miss take your marriage to the prince in mind?" The prince has already shown it so obviously, if the young lady is thinking about the marriage, she will definitely be able to see it. ”

Liu Xuan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then shook her head, she understood the meaning of Dongmei's words, knew their worries, she smiled slightly bitterly in her heart and said: "Although I have never thought of marrying him, but the marriage is from my heart, not what you two think, the reason is quite complicated, I am just stunned for a while." ”

Qiu Ju and Dongmei nodded when they heard this, indicating that they understood.

Although the two nodded, they didn't quite accept Liu Xuan's explanation in their hearts, if an ordinary woman was really going to get married, she would definitely be unhappy to know that her marriage was blocked, even if it was a man who couldn't say it clearly, but it must be unhappy, the reaction of the prince was normal, and the reaction of her own young lady was too indifferent.

Liu Xuan naturally didn't know the opinions of Qiu Ju and Dongmei, the singing outside did not stop for a long time, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she listened to it, so she simply went back to the study to read, and after closing the door, the voice outside was much quieter, and she gradually settled down.

Just as Liu Xuan thought. On the second day, there were more people singing outside her, and the sound of singing almost resounded for several miles around Liu's mansion.

In the afternoon, Liu Xuan sat in the courtyard to breathe, and even had the idea of sending some water to outsiders to moisten her throat.

However, she just thought about it, if she sent water out at this moment, she was afraid that not only would she not be able to get the slightest good, but she would be called a hypocrisy, a false righteousness, and an unauthorized use of means.

She thought of this and felt a little funny, she was just an ordinary woman. How could he let people sing like this.

She listened to the sound of singing outside for two days. was a little accustomed to it, and even began to learn to sing along, Qiu Ju Dongmei said helplessly when she saw this: "Miss, don't you think it's not lively enough?" ”

Liu Xuan saw that Qiu Ju and Dong Mei had a look of blame on their faces, so she obediently silenced her mouth at the moment.

In the afternoon, Deng Yu came quietly again. Seeing Liu Xuan, he still snorted coldly. Apparently still annoyed by yesterday's events. Liu Xuan looked at him with a slight amusement, she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I was wrong yesterday." The marriage is delayed for half a year, and I am naturally in a hurry, but I am reserved as a woman, and if I show half a point, it will not make others see the joke! ”

Deng Yu snorted lightly when he heard this, although he snorted lightly, but obviously his anger had subsided, he looked at her and said: "There are no outsiders here, how can you let others see the jokes, and if anyone dares to laugh at you because of this matter, the master will definitely reward him with thirty military sticks!" ”

Listening to his childish words, Liu Xuan had no choice but to echo and nod yes.

The two were talking, but there was a coquettish shout outside, which interrupted the singing voice, Liu Xuan listened carefully, and only heard a familiar woman's voice scolding: "You are such stupid scholars!" What are you singing all day long? A noble person like Sister Liu, is she the daughter of a fox in your mouth?! If you continue to sing nonsense, don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the long sword in my hand! ”

The sound of singing outside was interrupted by this coquettish scolding, but it was only for a while, and as soon as the coquettish voice was heard, the singing sound sounded again.

Liu Xuan heard that the voice was Lu Yan, the daughter of General Lu Xuanwei, and she hurriedly ordered Qiu Ju to invite Lu Yan into Liu's mansion, so as not to have a conflict between Lu Yan and those scholars.

Qiu Ju came out of the house for a while, and invited Lu Yan, who was full of anger, back, and came with her, there was also a girl in red, the girl was handsome and beautiful, she and Lu Yan were holding a sword and a long whip, and they looked up to explain the delicate appearance.

Lu Yan was obviously angry, and saw that Liu Xuan and Deng Yu did not salute, but came to Liu Xuan in three or two steps, pointed the long sword in his hand to the outside of the outer wall, and said with an angry face: "Sister Xuan, how can you allow those poor scholars to slander you like this!" ”

Liu Xuan looked at her angry flushed face and smiled helplessly: "What can I do?" Do you want them to stop singing? The most difficult thing in this world is the mouths of students, if I forcibly block them, I am afraid that this reputation will be even worse. ”

When Lu Yan heard this, she was immediately out of words, but she was still a little angry: "Do you just let them slander my sister indiscriminately?" ”

"I still understand the truth of the fact that everyone is making money and accumulating and destroying bones." Liu Xuan sighed at her: "It's just that I haven't thought of any good ways at the moment, and when I think of it, I won't let them slander it at will, don't worry." ”

Hearing this, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, she calmed down and saw Deng Yu sitting upright wearing a mask, she was a little afraid of Deng Yu, and was slightly stunned at the moment and hurriedly clasped her fists and saluted: "I've seen the prince." ”

Deng Yu hummed casually, accepted her salute, and then ignored her.

Lu Yan had long been accustomed to such an attitude, and stood in place and pouted.

Liu Xuan looked at the red-clothed girl beside Lu Yan, only to see her eyes looking back and forth between herself and Deng Yu, and then turned to look at Lu Yan and said with a smile: "I know that you are worried about me, I am very touched by this heart, and I thank you in advance." Don't keep talking about me, you brought a friend here today, so you won't introduce me to anything. ”

Lu Yan patted his head: "Look at my temperament, I was forgotten by those angry books." ”

She pointed to the girl in red beside her and introduced Liu Xuan: "This is my friend, Yu Qingci, the second lady of the founding Hou family, don't look at a word in her name, but she is not good at dancing and writing with ink like me, and only loves red makeup." ”

Liu Xuan glanced at the long whip in Yu Qingci's hand, and nodded with a smile: "You can see it." ”

Lu Yan smiled, and introduced Yu Qingci: "This is the Sister Xuan I often tell you, as for the one next to her, I definitely don't need to introduce her." ”

Yu Qingci's phoenix eyes turned back and forth on Liu Xuan and Deng Yu. He snorted slightly: "My father and brother both said that this son is a man who stands up to the sky, but I look at it but this is not the case, my beloved woman was slandered by others like this, but he did nothing." This four-character heaven and earth is really a bit elevated. ”

Liu Xuan's eyes widened when she heard this, her mouth opened slightly, and she looked incredulous, how much the generals admired Deng Yu She had seen it with her own eyes, and as the daughter of a military general, she must have heard Deng Yu's name more than once. I must also know Deng Yu's temper. And this Yu Qingci was actually ridiculed in front of Deng Yu!

Deng Yu was annoyed when he heard this, he slapped the stone table and yelled at Yu Qingci: "I don't know the so-called ugly girl!" How do you know that you have not done anything? If you don't understand anything, you just shout here, that's how the founding marquis taught you! ”

Yu Qingci was not afraid of Deng Yu's roar. She raised her head and snorted again: "The prince is in charge of my father and brother." But I don't know what I say. I'm just talking about things. ”

Seeing that Deng Yu was about to get angry again, Liu Xuan hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes and pressed him down. Then he looked at Yu Qingci and said with a smile: "Miss Yu misunderstood, the prince of the world originally wanted to drive those people away, but I persuaded them, as you can see, these people are only singing outside my mansion, if the prince makes a rash move, won't it affect him, and it will also confirm my reputation as a fox." ”

Yu Qingci looked at Liu Xuan with a little suspicion, and saw that she didn't look like she was telling a lie, so she looked at Deng Yu and arched her hand at him: "It's me who misunderstood the son, I'm sorry!" ”

If it weren't for Liu Xuan to stop him, Deng Yu would definitely be angry, he glanced at Liu Xuan who was holding his sleeve, took a deep breath and snorted coldly and said to Yu Qingci: "Naturally, the master will not care about an ignorant and ugly girl. ”

When Yu Qingci heard this, Jiaoyan suddenly became angry, and Lu Yan on the side hurriedly grabbed her, and then smiled at Liu Xuan and apologized: "It's our fault today, we won't disturb the prince and sister, and we will visit my sister another day." ”

After speaking, she pulled Yu Qingci and dragged her out of the door.

The figures of the two disappeared outside the courtyard gate, but Yu Qingci's anger still came: "What are you pulling me to do, didn't you hear him say that I am ignorant and call me an ugly girl?" Where the hell am I ugly! ”

Liu Xuan listened helplessly to the fading voice, sighed, she looked at Deng Yu and said: "Don't talk about the girl's ugly family at every turn in the future, the girl's family cares about appearance, and it will definitely make people unhappy if you say it like this." ”

Deng Yu took off the mask when he heard this, glared at Liu Xuan and said, "She looks ugly, and she is not allowed to say it!" ”

Liu Xuan let go of the hand that was tugging at his sleeve, and stroked his forehead obviously helplessly: "Even if it's really ugly, you don't have to say it, besides, that girl looks good......"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Deng Yu: "If you don't look good, you're an ugly girl!" ”

Liu Xuan raised her eyes to look at him, and didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy for a while, she rolled her eyes helplessly: "Okay, okay, all those who are ugly without me are ugly girls, but can you say this for me not to be a girl in front of others?" ”

Deng Yu pursed his lips and was obviously a little unhappy, he took a deep look at the helpless Liu Xuan, and then tilted his head and said a little unwillingly: "For your sake, the master promised you." ”

Liu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, then Lu Yan must have heard the rumors and came to comfort herself this time, but she never thought that she would end up in such a situation, but she was afraid that she would have to persuade Yu Qingci for a while.

She doesn't have many friends, and it is even more commendable to be able to come to visit her at such a time, she doesn't want to embarrass Lu Yan because of Deng Yu's words.

Not long after Lu Yan left, Deng Yu also left, and it was Da Long who came to call Deng Yu, and it seemed that King Ning had something to look for Deng Yu.

Deng Yu looked at Liu Xuan and said, "Don't worry too much about these bad things, the mastermind behind the scenes already has an eyebrow, and you will know it in a few days." ”

Liu Xuan nodded and responded: "Okay, I'm waiting for your news." ”

Seeing that her face was as usual, and she was not affected by the outside singing, Deng Yu left with the big dragon and the light work.

Liu Xuan thought that she had no friends in Beijing, but what she didn't expect was that she received a message from Princess Xue Jun that night, saying that she would come to Liu's Mansion tomorrow to have a small gathering with her.

Liu Xuan took the post and felt a lot of emotion in her heart, she and Princess Xue Jun were just business partners, and they didn't have much contact after negotiating business with her, but she was able to come to Liu's Mansion at such a time, how could she not be moved by this heart.

At that moment, people replied, saying that they would prepare refreshments and wait for Princess Xue Jun.

She just went back to Princess Xue Jun, but someone handed over the post, but this person surprised her more than Princess Xue Jun, and the person who handed over the post turned out to be Cao Ying!

Liu Xuan looked at the slender font on the worship post, and for a while she knew that Li Che married Cao Ying because she was humiliated at the beginning, and the deal with the Cao family, she knew that although Cao Ying married Li Che as she wished, but she did not live well, she only had the identity of a side concubine, she saw Li Che's mind clearly, and it was precisely because she saw clearly that there was something wrong in her heart.

It is reasonable that she should not like herself, but she still comes to visit her regardless of this, and it is still when everyone avoids it.

Since Cao Ying was kind, Liu Xuan sent someone back, saying that she was waiting for her tomorrow.

Cao Ying and Princess Xue Jun's intentions are very obvious, they are both here to support themselves, Liu Xuan simply made an appointment together, Cao Ying and Princess Xue Jun have no past, there is nothing to see together.

Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Xuan let Qiu Ju and Dongmei lay out almost in the backyard garden, Liu's mansion is not a big garden, although it is small, but elegant and chic, although it is autumn, there are a few maple trees planted in the yard, and the maple leaves are red at this time It is a good time to watch.

Cao Ying was the first to arrive, and Liu Xuan got up to greet her outside the house after being informed by the little maid.

Now Cao Ying has combed the woman's hair bun, and the clothes she came to wear today are the clothes made by the prince's side concubine, but if you have an eye, you can know her identity.

There is still a sound of singing outside, Liu Xuan and Cao Ying didn't care, the two looked at each other and smiled, Cao Ying didn't wait for Liu Xuan to speak, she stepped forward with a smile and said: "I should have come to see you two days ago, but I thought that you had just returned to Beijing and had a lot of things to do, so it was only a few days." ”

Liu Xuan greeted her in the mansion with a smile, and said with a smile: "I should be avoided by everyone here now, and I am very happy that you can come." ”

The two of them are commensurate with you and me, and they are tacitly commensurate with each other, Cao Ying looked at the singing office outside and did not reply, but took Liu Xuan's hand and went directly into Liu's mansion.

It wasn't until she came to the garden and sat down that Cao Ying opened her mouth, a bitter smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Liu Xuan and said apologetically: "Now that I have entered the Liu Mansion, I dare to call you sister, how have you been doing for most of the past six months?"
