Liu Xuan sat in the car and rolled her eyes silently, she had known Liu Zhiqing for the longest time, and she had been a friend for many years and was the closest to him, so she naturally understood that although his last sentence was an interesting remark, it was also a reminder to her that she was no longer the orphan girl in Yizhou, and there was still the Liu family standing behind her, and she was honored by Liu Jiarong.

Liu Xuan pouted and said, "Without me, Liufu is also a glory." ”

Liu Zhiqing smiled: "It's more prosperous with you." ”

Liu Xuan was speechless, looking at Dongmei who was smiling secretly in the carriage, she couldn't help but reach out to scratch her, Dongmei hurriedly dodged, Liu Xuan's shot missed, and she had to hate and say to the outside of the carriage: "If you don't make the journey, I didn't follow the holy decree, but you can't blame me." ”

Listening to Liu Xuan's words, Liu Zhiqing immediately ordered to set off, Liu Zhiqing came to pick up Liu Xuan this time and brought eight guards alone, and the pomp was very large, and now the matter of Liu Taifu and her daughter being elected as the crown princess is well known to everyone, and everyone can't help but talk about it all the way, and the most discussed thing is not how Liu Xuan damages her reputation, but the good story of the prince and her love.

Everyone's voices of admiration and envy came in from outside the carriage from time to time, Liu Xuan sighed a little when she heard it, as Qiu Ju Dongmei said, that person is the prince, and everyone's words are different.

If she changes to someone else, just being unmarried and being involved with a man is enough for her to drown in everyone's saliva.

The carriage traveled all the way to Liufu, Liu Xuan got off the carriage with the help of Dongmei, and when she got out of the carriage, she saw Mrs. Liu's mother and the Liu family at the door to greet her, Liu Xuan hurriedly greeted her: "The weather is very cold, how can I work for my father and mother to wait outside." ”

Mrs. Liu looked at her and smiled lovingly: "You have a different identity now, so you naturally want to welcome, although you have not yet married, your status has been decided." Naturally, we can't afford to be lazy. ”

Liu Xuan lowered her head when she heard this: "My father-in-law's words are wrong, since I am not married to Xuan, I am still the daughter of my father-in-law, how can there be a reason for my daughter to return home and her parents to welcome each other outside." ”

Mrs. Liu smiled and didn't argue with her much, but pointed to a thin and slightly dark man on the side and said to Liu Xuan: "This is your second brother-in-law Liu Zhiming, who has been placed outside and loved by His Royal Highness and was just transferred back to Beijing not long ago. ”

Liu Zhiming and Liu Zhiqing are somewhat similar in appearance, but his complexion is dark and he looks very lean, and when he heard Liu Taifu's introduction, Liu Xuan immediately saluted Liu Zhiming: "Liu Xuan has seen the second brother." ”

Liu Zhiming clasped his fists and saluted: "I have seen the righteous sister, my brother mentioned the name of the righteous sister in the letter when he was in office in Yizhou, and the most I heard about the righteous sister after I returned to Beijing is also the matter of the righteous sister, and now I finally see it." It's really a talent and a unique evaluation. ”

Liu Xuan is naturally modest again. It's just that what she didn't expect was that Liu Zhiqing actually mentioned her name in the family letter, and she couldn't help but glance at Liu Zhiqing slightly, but Liu Zhiqing didn't know where to look, she couldn't see his expression.

"It's freezing. Stand at the door and do it. Liu Mu smiled and stepped forward to squeeze Liu Xuan's hand: "Let's go." Talking in the house. ”

Liu Xuan responded with a smile. Everyone talked and laughed and walked towards the house, Liu Xuan is now a fragrant dumpling, and Mrs. Liu wants to pull Liu Xuan to play chess with him. But Liu's mother pulled her to talk again, and Mrs. Liu blew her beard and glared: "Xuan'er often comes to the house to walk around, how many words have you talked to her, the old man just played a game of chess with her." ”

Liu Xuan has never seen the old and dignified Mrs. Liu have such a homely side, and suddenly bent the corners of her lips, Mrs. Qian, who has been following Liu's mother, smiled and opened her mouth to play a round: "The girl has not been placed yet, the old lady has come to grab someone first, the girl wants to live in the house for a few days, arrange to play chess with the master one day, and talk to the lady one day, and let the girl settle and rest today, I am afraid that there will be a letter in the palace soon." ”

Mrs. Qian's words are reasonable, Mrs. Liu and Mother Liu did not dispute at the moment, but Mother Liu led Liu Xuan to settle down, and Mrs. Liu and Liu Zhiqing played chess.

The yard that Liu's mother placed for Liu Xuan is not far from Liu's mother, and the entire Liufu is full of lanterns and red lanterns, Liu's mother took Liu Xuan into the house and said with a smile: "I know you're coming, I sent someone to tidy up this yard yesterday, and this quilt is also newly replaced with a silk quilt you sent, do you think it's still pleasing to your heart?" ”

The yard is clean and tidy, the room is elegant and chic, the newly laid bedding is soft and fragrant, Liu's mother must be carefully arranged, Liu Xuan's heart touched her since she lost her mother since childhood, Liu's mother gave her a kind of maternal love that she had never experienced, if her mother was alive, she would definitely love her so much.

Liu Xuan's eyes were slightly red and nodded and thanked her in a low voice, Liu Mu looked at her and stretched out a finger to poke her forehead, and said in a doting voice: "What kind of thank you are said by your family, you are full of meaning, and your mother is also happy." ”

Liu Xuan didn't say more, and her heart was even more moved, the longer she contacted the Liu family, the more she could appreciate their kindness to her, and now she can no longer be as free and easy as she thought at the beginning, whether Li Che intentionally or unintentionally, she can no longer take into account the feelings of the Liu family.

Liu Xuan actually didn't have anything to place, only some changes of clothes and basic books, and the rest of the things Shi Liumu had already been prepared, the silver coal in the house was burning, and the stove in her hand was also prepared in the morning, and it was still early in the meal time Liu Mu simply pulled Liu Xuan to talk.

Mrs. Qian and Feng are both sitting in the house, and now Feng doesn't dare to be so arrogant when she looks at Liu Xuan, she lowers her head and is obedient all the way, and now she can't open her mouth in this room, she can only watch Mrs. Qian and Liu's mother chatting happily with Liu Xuan.

Feng was left out alone, Liu Xuan, Liu's mother and Mrs. Qian didn't see it, and they didn't say anything to her, Feng only sat like this, until the maid came over at noon and said that lunch was ready, and she was relieved.

Liu's mother held Liu Xuan all the way to talk and laugh and walked towards the dining hall, Mrs. Liu and Liu Zhiqing and Liu Zhiming were already waiting in the dining hall, seeing their laughing appearance, Liu Zhiqing deliberately said to Liu Zhiming: "Look, now that the mother has a daughter, she doesn't want our sons." ”

Liu Zhiming nodded with a smile on the side, and Liu Mu glared at the two: "You two bastards are naturally not as gentle and considerate as Xuan'er." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Zhiqing shook her head helplessly: "Now my sister is my mother's treasure, and we are all roadside grass." ”

Liu Xuan chuckled and looked at their joking appearances, and Liu Mu took Liu Xuan into the seat and suddenly asked, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve." What friends does Xuan'er have in Beijing? If you have one, you need to prepare some gifts to send and talk about your feelings. ”

Liu Xuan thought about it and thought that she didn't know many people in Beijing, just a princess of Xue County, so she said to Liu's mother: "Xuan'er is good friends with Princess Xue Jun, and there is no one else." ”

Liu Mu nodded: "Look at you, you must not know the rules of Beijing, but fortunately, the stepmother has already prepared for it, and she will send it together after dinner." ”

Liu Xuan nodded in response, once again moved by Liu's mother's carefulness and thoughtfulness.

There was nothing to say, and after finishing the meal, Mrs. Liu had to pull Liu Xuan to play chess, and Liu Xuan naturally smiled and nodded. Liu's mother repeatedly told Mrs. Liu: "Don't get obsessed with chess." I'm afraid that the will of the palace will arrive soon, so don't delay the business. ”

Mrs. Liu nodded when he heard this: "The old man will wake up naturally, only for the next plate." ”

After hearing his assurance, Liu's mother was relieved to let Liu Xuan go to the study with the Liu family's father and son.

Liu Xuan and Mrs. Liu played chess, and Liu Zhiqing and Liu Zhiming watched from the sidelines. Liu Xuan showed no mercy. Mrs. Liu, who killed in the time of a stick of incense, automatically admitted defeat. Liu Zhiming praised on the side: "As my brother said, my sister's chess skills have become superb, and I am afraid that there will be opponents in this world." ”

Liu Xuan smiled and shook her head: "If you talk about chess, the prince is the master of the world." Xuan had only played against him once. But only once, Xuan was far from him. ”

Liu Zhiming nodded in agreement, and he sighed: "Your Highness's mind is meticulous and unfathomable, although I have never seen His Highness's chess skills, but I can also think that His Highness must be superb in chess." ”

Mrs. Liu didn't care about this, he was unwilling to lose miserably, and immediately said that he wanted to play another game, Liu Zhiqing reminded with a smile on the side: "Father didn't forget my mother's instructions." ”

Hearing that Mrs. Liu was holding the chess box, he sighed: "It's just a long time, Xuan'er should go back to find your stepmother first." ”

Liu Xuan nodded with a smile and retreated, and as soon as she exited the study, she heard Mrs. Liu's voice coming from inside: "Bastard boy, come and play chess with the old man." ”

Then the voice of Liu Zhiqing sighing came, Liu Xuan smiled slightly and turned around and walked towards the backyard.

Mother Liu saw Liu Xuan coming back and said with a smile: "Your father-in-law is also conscious today, and he has not dragged you for a long time." ”

"My father-in-law was going to play another game." Liu Xuan sat down next to Liu's mother and said with a smile: "But he wanted to rebel against his mother's instructions, so he asked Xuan'er to come back first, and he was playing chess with his righteous brothers at the moment." ”

Mother Liu patted her hand and smiled lovingly: "Your father-in-law has no other hobbies in his life, he likes to play chess, but his chess skills are not as good as his knowledge, even your two brothers-in-law are not willing to play with him, he is a high-eyed person, unwilling to accommodate and play against people with low chess skills, over time, don't say that his protégé is the entire capital and few are willing to play with him, and finally meet you is naturally itchy and unbearable." ”

Liu Xuan covered her lips and chuckled when she heard this: "It is Xuan'er's blessing to be able to accompany her father-in-law to play chess, and it is even more Xuan'er's blessing to be able to bear Huan's knees." ”

"Good boy." Mother Liu smiled and patted her hand, and suddenly remembered something and said to Liu Xuan: "Princess Xue Jun's mother-in-law has already sent someone to send it over, but just now Wu Ying, the daughter of Zuo Xiang, and Cao Ying, the second lady of the Cao family, also sent someone to give a gift, and the stepmother has sent a gift in your name." ”

After speaking, Liu's mother asked the maid on the side to bring Wu Ying and Cao Ying's gifts to Liu Xuan for a look.

Liu Xuan thanked Liu's mother, but she was secretly paying in her heart, she and Wu Ying and Cao Ying had only met once, it was not a good friend, how could they give her a gift? But after thinking about it, I understand a little, now that she is the ironclad crown princess, with Cao Ying's thoughts about Li Che, it is normal for her to please herself, as for Wu Ying, Liu Xuan guessed that she must be friends with Cao Ying, and by the way.

She took the wooden box handed by the maid and opened it, one wooden box contained a small jade ruyi, and the other contained a jade hairpin, no matter what was delicate and valuable.

Liu Mu said on the side: "The plum blossom wooden box was sent by the second lady of the Cao family, and the peony wooden box is a gift from the daughter of the left minister." ”

Liu Xuan nodded to indicate that she knew, it turned out that the jade Ruyi was given by Cao Ying and the jade hairpin was given by Wu Ying, she closed the wooden box and handed it to Dongmei on the side, and then said to Liu's mother with a smile: "The gifts given by the two of them are not light, and the stepmother must have broken the bill again." ”

Liu Mu smiled and said, "You, you fell into the eyes of money." It's supposed to be a girl who smells of copper, why is she still looking like she doesn't eat the fireworks in the world. ”

Liu Xuan pouted: "The so-called people can't look good, it's Xuan'er." ”

Mother Liu smiled even more when she heard this: "Your bad words can be said to you in good words." ”

The mother and daughter were joking, and the little maid outside hurriedly ran over: "Madame has a holy decree from outside, and the lord invites you and Miss to go to the front yard to receive the decree." ”

"So fast." When Liu's mother heard this, she hurriedly got up, Liu Xuan also stood up, and the mother and daughter walked towards the front yard together.

The one who came to deliver the message was an old man who was about forty years old, and seeing that his dress should not be low, the father-in-law saw Liu Xuan looking him up and down, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Mrs. Liu introduced Liu Xuan: "Xuan'er, this is Gonggong Cui, the head of the Great Interior, who is the most trusted person in the Holy World today, and has been following the Holy Master for more than 20 years. ”

When Liu Xuan heard this, she hurriedly saluted Grandpa Cui: "I've seen Grandpa Cui." ”

Father-in-law Cui smiled and helped her: "Today's errand for the decree was asked by the miscellaneous family themselves, in order to see Miss Liu first, and now that I see it, it is really a fairy-like character as said by the outside, no wonder the prince is such a pure-hearted person who has few desires, and he is also moved." ”

Liu Xuan hurriedly lowered her head and made a shy appearance when she heard this, and when Grandpa Cui saw this, she smiled again and said to Mrs. Liu: "Since Miss Liu has arrived, let's pass on the decree, right?" ”

Mrs. Liu nodded yes, and everyone in the Liu family and Liu Xuan knelt down and kowtowed together: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Gonggong Cui opened Ming Huang's holy decree and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I heard that Liu Xuan, the righteous daughter of Taifu Liu Zhengxin, is skillful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance, and the queen and I are very happy to hear it." Now that the crown prince is in his age, when he is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman to match. In order to become a beautiful woman, Liu Xuan will be matched with the crown prince as the crown princess. All etiquette will be handled jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor, and the marriage will be completed on a good day. The proclamation is at home and abroad, and the salty envoy hears it. ”

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Everyone kowtowed and thanked them, and only then did they stand up after being signaled by Grandpa Cui.

Gonggong Cui handed over the holy decree to Liu Xuan's hand and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations to Miss Liu, congratulations to Miss Liu, it should have been the holy decree to come after the dowry, but our prince was anxious, and he actually brought a part of the dowry in advance. ”

As soon as she heard this, Liu Xuan knew that Li Che was cut first and then played, but she was afraid that the current saint would also be annoyed by this, she thanked Father-in-law Cui, and Liu's mother on the side had already handed over the prepared reward. (To be continued......)
