"Your Highness, the side concubine has returned to the palace."

Dongfang Xu didn't stop the movement in his hand, but just responded lightly, "Feng Yu has already set a date with the third lady of the Changqing Hou Mansion?" ”

"If you go back to Your Highness, yes, it is said to be the eighth day of the next month."

Dongfang Xu smiled slightly, this third young lady is really impressive, he has always known that Feng Yu's heart is not in the love of children, and he doesn't want to hear their good news so soon. And I heard that this third lady is also a special woman, and she is really happy for his brother.

"Your Royal Highness, the side concubine asks to see you."

The smile on Dongfang Xu's face immediately froze, and after a long time, "Let her in." ”

Du Yuanxiu lifted the hem of her skirt lightly, and she came to Dongfang Xu with her gentle eyes, "Concubine see Your Highness." ”

"Well, how is the third lady's injury?"

"My sister has gotten a lot better, but I'm afraid that there will be traces on my face."

Dongfang Xu was slightly surprised, but it was only a flash, he knew that Feng Yu would not care about such things, "Let the third young lady rest." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, the concubine still has something to ask for."

"Do you want to say that on the eighth day of the next month, let you leave the palace?"

Du Yuanxiu immediately raised his head, just staring at Dongfang Xu. The man immediately flashed his gaze, Du Yuanxiu's eyes were also a little lonely, was His Highness still unwilling to face her?

"I know, I will send a few people to send you out of the palace on the eighth day of the first month of next month."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Du Yuanxiu saluted respectfully, and then quietly withdrew.

Dongfang Xu only raised his eyes then, he still can't forget the events of that day, every time he sees her, it makes a trace of guilt rise in his heart.

"The side concubine has returned to the palace?" Xiyue was a little surprised, and thought that she would stay outside the palace for a few days, but she didn't expect to come back so soon, but that's fine. "Well, if something like this happened to the third lady, we should also go and greet it."

"That's exactly what Niang Niang said."

"In addition, call the second brother and sister, we are a family."

Xinlan's eyes lit up, "Niang Niang is wise!" ”

And the other end.

"The crown princess came yesterday?"

The handsome but cold man leaned on the chair, Wu Huiyun stood quietly next to her, her body shook, "Yes......"

"Oh? Your relationship is so good? This dangerous tone made Wu Huiyun's palms ooze sweat.

Dongfang Rui's gaze fell on her slightly pale face, but in his eyes, it was a sign of weakness.

"No, it's not, it's just that the crown princess cares so much about the concubine for the sake of His Royal Highness." Today's Wu Huiyun doesn't dare to disobey Dongfang Rui at all, where is there still the proud appearance of the past.

Dongfang Rui snorted coldly, becoming more and more disdainful of her obedient attitude, she was really a boring woman.

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and walked straight out, and Wu Huiyun didn't dare to ask where he was going.

In Dongfang Rui's heart, a woman like Wu Huiyun doesn't need him to put a little effort into it.

The door slammed shut, and Wu Huiyun's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

She clutched her chest with palpitations, her face became more and more unsightly, and the palace maid on the side immediately stepped forward, "Niangniang, why don't you rest earlier?" ”

These days, they have also become accustomed to the second prince with such a strange temperament, and in awe, they have a trace of sympathy for Wu Huiyun in their hearts, but they are afraid that others would never dream that as the second princess, they would have to live such a fearful life.

Wu Huiyun's gaze slowly moved to the couch, and she frowned, "No, this palace will go to the lake for a walk." ”

She didn't want to see the bed, even if it was just a glance, she felt uncomfortable.

It's cool and the temperature is unbearable. Wu Huiyun was surrounded by several palace people, who were carrying stoves in their hands, bringing a steady stream of warmth to the surroundings.

The palace people who passed by stopped and saluted, but such an honor did not bring too much joy to Wu Huiyun.

She looked at the secluded lake melancholy, and for a while, she felt that the coldness had penetrated straight into her heart, making her feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar.

It had never been so clear that this palace was nothing more than a gorgeous golden cage, why did she want to enter it so much in the past? Now that she is in it, all she feels is endless sadness and loneliness.

"Mother, the slave will prepare some snacks for you."

Wu Huiyun didn't answer her, just looked at the lake calmly.

Soon, a table of quiet pastries was prepared in the gazebo, but she was the only one sitting quietly, looking very weird.

A sneaky figure quickly swept past the distance and went straight back to the Tai Palace.

"Niangniang, the second princess is now in the pavilion by the lake."

Listening to Xinlan's words, Xiyue turned around, with a bit of light in her eyes, "Who else is there?" ”

"There is only one second imperial concubine."

The corners of Xiyue's mouth couldn't help but raise a deep smile, "Well, at a moment like this, there should be someone by my side to accompany my younger brother and sister." ”

She stood up and walked towards Du Yuanxiu's house.

……

At this time, Du Yuanxiu sat in front of the mirror a little tiredly, for some reason in the past few days, she always felt that the whole person was very easy to get sleepy, and at this time she felt a little drowsy, and she was about to call the palace maid to come in to freshen up for her, but she heard the voice of Xiyue outside.

"Sister?"

The door creaked and slowly opened, and Du Yuanxiu hurriedly saluted Xiyue, "Sister? ”

Xiyue enthusiastically grabbed Du Yuanxiu's wrist, "My sister is really here, I haven't seen you for a day, my sister really misses me very much." ”

Greeted by the intoxicating fragrance, Du Yuanxiu couldn't help but feel a lot more energetic.

"It's all my sister's fault, I didn't ask my sister for peace before leaving the palace......"

At this moment, Xiyue is very dignified and generous, "My sister has something important, why bother with the subsections." Coincidentally, my sister just saw her second brother and sister in the courtyard, and I heard that she was not in good health for the past two days, should my sister go with my sister to have a look? ”

"My brother and sister are not in good health?" Du Yuanxiu immediately frowned, if this is the case, then she should indeed visit in person.

"But isn't it, she hasn't seen her sister yet, we are a family, we should have more contacts on weekdays, and take care of each other!"

"My sister is right, it's my sister who is not doing well. Come! ”

Immediately, a palace person stepped forward, "Get ready, let's go see the second imperial concubine."

By the lake, a table of quiet and beautiful pastries was intact, and the woman with exquisite makeup looked at the lake like that, only when she was alone in this kind of solitude, Wu Huiyun would feel clear-headed.

And the more this is the case, the more painful her heart is, but it seems to be an unstoppable shackle, making her feel so powerless.

"Niangniang......" The palace maid on the side reminded loudly.

Wu Huiyun immediately raised her head, and saw a group of people coming not far away, and at this moment, she actually saw the person she didn't want to see the most.

That happy crown princess!

Every time she sees her, Wu Huiyun will feel that God is making people, and the woman with a happy smile on her face should be herself! knew that this was the case, why did he want to be able in the first place, why did he want to be in the limelight in front of the queen's mother?

Although thinking so, Wu Huiyun had already stood up and walked towards the two of them.

"Oh, why is my sister so polite, come, sit!" Xiyue was the first to stop Wu Huiyun, who was about to salute, "Today, my sister's complexion has improved a lot, my sister is really pleased, although the scenery by the lake is good, but it is really cold, can my sister stand it?" ”

This tone of concern made Wu Huiyun's heart feel a little moved, in this cold palace, she didn't expect that it was the princess of this Yi country who gave her warmth.

"Thank you sister-in-law, my brother and sister already feel much better."

However, her eyes then fell on Du Yuanxiu, and she also came with her today, did she want to show something to herself? Wu Huiyun's slightly arrogant eyes made Du Yuanxiu understand that in fact, she still had some complaints about herself in her heart.

Also, I didn't apologize to her in person, although I really didn't step on her skirt.

"Brother and sister, do you still like the gift that the imperial sister-in-law ordered someone to send last time?" In fact, Du Yuanxiu had already ordered someone to send a gift of reparation the next day, but Wu Huiyun did not respond.

"Gifts? Oh...... In that case, my sister received it, thank you sister-in-law. That was said, but Wu Huiyun's face did not show the slightest gratitude.

Du Yuanxiu didn't say much, just smiled apologetically. "Brother and sister, don't misunderstand, the royal sister-in-law came today to compensate her younger brother and sister." There were too many things that happened after entering the palace, so that Du Yuanxiu couldn't find a good opportunity to come in person, and besides, in fact, Xiyue often mentioned it to her, saying that the second brother and sister asked her not to go over, the two had just finished married, but they would be happy, and Xiyue also said that in fact, Wu Huiyun had already conveyed that she was not annoying herself, so Du Yuanxiu planned to find an opportunity to come in person.

I just don't want to see it today, but it's not the same as I imagined.

"What's wrong with the imperial sister-in-law? Joked ......."

Wu Huiyun didn't appreciate it at all, she had already determined that Du Yuanxiu was uneasy and kind, even if she came to apologize, it was a weasel who gave the chicken a New Year's greeting.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing at the moment, Xiyue immediately stood up and smiled lightly, "It's all a family, brother and sister, your imperial sister-in-law came to compensate in person today, why should the family have so many courtesies, come, let's go over there for a walk, it's really cold here." ”

Xiyue's hand pointed to the attic not far away, and then inadvertently glanced at Xinlan on the side. Stretched out his hand and pulled Wu Huiyun forward, and Du Yuanxiu followed quietly behind him.

No one noticed that Xinlan had silently moved to Du Yuanxiu's side.

On the promenade on the lake, a pair of embroidered palace boots stepped on the wooden bridge, making a pleasant sound.

"Brother and sister have to take care of their bodies, the imperial sister-in-law can't come every day......" Xiyue kept pulling Wu Huiyun to say this, completely ignoring Du Yuanxiu behind her, Wu Huiyun liked the scene very much, she was accompanied by the princess, and the princess could only follow obediently behind her.

Thinking so, she raised her foot and took a step, but she didn't want to feel a force pull at the hem of her skirt, and her body was about to fall forward in a moment.

At this time, someone pushed her from behind, and the whole person immediately fell towards the lake on the side with an unstable center of gravity.

After a burst of exclamations, everyone saw two figures fall into the lake at the same time, one after the other, making two loud noises, splashing countless splashes.

Colorful gauze skirts float on the surface of the lake, and two women struggle.

"Save ...... I don't know how water-based ......"

"Oh no! The side concubine and the second princess have fallen into the lake! ”
