285. A bitter and astringent scene

After a while, Su Pincheng and Mrs. Su came to the Xiangfu Flower Hall.

When the two of them saw Su Xiaorou standing with Niannian, they both stayed there like fossils, and under the sudden surprise and joy, they couldn't believe their eyes for a while.

Xiao Rou shouted timidly: "Dad, mother, Rou'er is back." As soon as the circles under her eyes were red, tears rolled down her beautiful cheeks.

Mrs. Su reacted first and shouted in a trembling voice: "Rou'er, it's really my Rou'er." ”

"Mother, it's Rou'er who is back, Rou'er misses her father and mother so much." Su Xiaorou rushed over and threw herself into Mrs. Su's arms.

Mrs. Su hurriedly hugged her daughter, who she had been thinking about day and night, and said, "Rou'er, my mother misses you too, and my mother thinks that you are going to get sick, why are you so ruthless?" I didn't come back to see my mother after I walked for so long. Immediately burst into tears.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's Rou'er who is not good and ignorant, so my father and mother are worried about their daughter. Mother, don't cry, don't cry, look, isn't Rou'er back well, standing in front of you well? Su Xiaorou smiled with tears in her eyes and wiped the tears from Mrs. Su's face, but her own tears poured out more uncontrollably.

Su Pincheng looked at the mother and daughter who were hugging and crying, and he also had mixed feelings for a while, and his eyes were hot.

waited until the relationship between the mother and daughter calmed down a little, and then he coughed and said, "Xiaorou, since you know that you are ignorant in doing this, why are you so willful?" Do you know how much trouble you've caused your family? ”

After that, he glanced at the thoughts that were standing aside and quietly watching their family of three reunite, and his eyes were already wet with tears, and sighed deeply.

"Daddy, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my daughter is not filial......" Su Xiaorou raised her head from her mother's arms, looked at Su Xiangye and choked up and couldn't go on.

"Master, don't talk about her, now that I see Rou'er coming back well, I'm already satisfied. Xiaorou, Niannian, come and sit down together, tell me what's going on? How did you come back together? At this time, Mrs. Su had gradually calmed down from her previous excitement, she wiped away her tears, and beckoned everyone to sit down and talk.

So, Su Xiaorou and Nian Nian told Su Xiangye and Mrs. Su in detail how she came to the palace after leaving home and how she met Nian Nian in the palace.

When Mrs. Su heard the part where Xiao Rou was in trouble in the VIP building, she was so frightened that she couldn't help but sigh again: "Xiao Rou...... My son, why are you so troubled? Thanks to meeting the prince, the prince is really a kind person. Alas, why don't you cherish the relationship between you and the prince like this? ”

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Su suddenly thought that Nian Nian was now the wife of the crown prince - the rightful princess of the country of Xiao, and she suddenly felt embarrassed in her heart.

She glanced at Nian Nian, but Nian Nian didn't seem to care about her words, and there was no awkward or unhappy expression on her face.

Mrs. Su couldn't help but sigh again, happy that her daughter had finally returned, but also sad that her daughter had finally missed the position of the crown princess they had dreamed of.

Su Xiangye didn't say a word, and didn't say a word until he had finished listening: "Xiao Rou Niannian, it's right that you didn't reveal your true identity in front of the prince." If the emperor knew that I, Su Pincheng, dared to use a fake daughter to pretend to be a real lady to marry the prince, then the future situation of our Su family would be unimaginable. ”

Nian Nian nodded and said, "This is all Xiao Rou's idea, Xiao Rou is still more thoughtful than me when it comes to things." ”

Xiao Rou listened to Youyou and said: "No way, the matter has come to this, since my father has arranged for you to marry the prince instead of me, we have to perform this play properly and satisfactorily together." Since I was a child, I have heard a lot about the court with my father and brothers, and I know the truth of 'accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger', since I have come to such a complicated and complicated place as the palace, each of us must be extra cautious in our words and deeds, so as not to cause trouble. ”

A few people sighed again, and Su Xiangye said: "Xiaorou, you still seem to have inherited a bit of your father's wisdom. ”

Xiao Rou's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she suddenly remembered and asked, "Dad, mother, why didn't you see my third brother?" I heard the prince say that the third brother has been sick at home and has not gone to court. Are you still so sick that you are lying in bed today? Then I'll see him now. ”

After that, she got up and thought of the backyard to see Su Junchu.

"Xiao Rou, wait. Your third brother is much better now, and he will definitely be even happier to see you. It's just that Princess Lanxin brought the palace maid to see your third brother early in the morning, and she is still with your third brother, so you should wait for the princess to leave and then go to meet your third brother. Su Pincheng hurriedly stopped and said.

"Princess Lanxin?" Su Xiaorou was a little surprised for a while, but then she understood, and couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, the princess is really good to my third brother." I heard that Princess Lanxin is also a great beauty, but I haven't seen her yet. ”

"Yes, Princess Lanxin is really considerate and meticulous to your third brother, so good that we have nothing to say. Since she knew that your third brother was sick, she would bring some nourishing tonic medicine to visit every once in a while, taking care of and helping, and there was no princess shelf at all, and your third brother is gradually getting better now. Mrs. Su showed a relieved smile on her face and said happily.

"Looks like I'm going to have one more princess sister-in-law soon." Su Xiaorou smiled when she heard this, and said, "Why won't she let me go?" Niannian, let's go see the third brother together, you just say that I am the prince's attendant, this time the prince arranged for me to accompany you back to visit relatives, I don't think the princess will be suspicious of anything. And my third brother, he has always been so smart, as long as the two of us make a little look, he will definitely understand that he will not show his flaws in front of the princess because he sees me. ”

"Xiaorou, have you forgotten that we came back without telling the rest of the palace? If you are going to see the third brother now and meet the princess, how will we explain it when we go back? So you definitely can't go now, if you want to go, you can go yourself, anyway, I won't go. Nian Nian suddenly stood up and said a little impatiently.

"Okay, okay, if you don't go now, then we'll just wait here, and when Princess Lanxin leaves, I'll have a good talk with the third brother for a while." Oh, I miss my third brother so much. Su Xiaorou said compromisedly, she was quite puzzled by Niannian's abrupt attitude, but she didn't think much about it because of the joy of going home after a long absence, and still felt full of happiness.

Nian Nian turned around and didn't answer, not wanting Xiao Rou to see her slightly bitter expression at the moment. However, her heart could not be calmed down.

Su Xiangye knew that Nian Nian had an unforgettable relationship with his son Su Junchu, so he coughed again and said, "Princess Lanxin is also about to return to the palace, you two should stay in the side room for a while first, and then come out when the princess is gone." ”

"Okay, Daddy." Xiao Rou said coquettishly, and pulled Nian Nian into a side room next to the flower hall to hide.

Nian Nian and Xiao Rou stayed in the room, and there was a paper window in the room that faced the curved corridor from the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion to the front hall. So the two of them lay in front of the window and looked at each other, hoping to see Princess Lanxin come out of here as soon as possible.

There are many feelings in Niannian's heart, and I can't tell what I want to see.

But suddenly I heard Xiaorou shouting: "Nian Nian, look, the third brother and Princess Lanxin have come out." Wow, Princess Lanxin is so beautiful, and she is a good match when she walks with the third brother. ”

Nian Nian listened and looked out the window, and sure enough, he saw two elegant and slender figures, walking along the winding corridor towards the flower hall.

The two seemed to be talking softly as they walked, and from time to time Princess Lanxin could be seen looking at Su Junchu and smiling affectionately.

Su Junchu was wearing a moon-white shirt, and from a distance, except for being a little thinner, he had completely regained his previous elegant and handsome bearing, and even looked more handsome and chic than before.

And Princess Lanxin was dressed as if she had discussed with Su Junchu in advance, and it turned out to be a moon-white floor-length dress, with a silver dragon and phoenix hairpin pinned to her hair.

She was shy, smiling, and walking side by side with Su Junchu, the two of them were like a pair of golden boys and girls who were a perfect match.

Nian Nianzhi's eyes were sour, her throat was dry, and she felt as if she had suddenly been stuffed into a ball of cotton, and her whole body was fluttering and weak.

The moon-white clothes of Su Junchu and Princess Lan Xin that reflected each other reminded her of the era she came from, and the once popular couple shirts.

After a while, she muttered, "Indeed...... It's a good match. ”

"Niannian, have you dealt with Princess Lanxin? Is her personality good? I don't want my excellent third brother to marry a rude and willful sister-in-law in the future, I heard that the golden branches and jade leaves who grew up in the palace are not very good-tempered. Xiao Rou didn't notice that Niannian's expression was a complicated color that was both sad and embarrassed, and still looked outside and said excitedly.

"Don't worry, Princess Lanxin's temper is also very good." Nian Nian let out a long breath and retreated from the window into the house.

She didn't want to look any further, as if the two figures outside who were walking together and were incomparably compatible had stung her eyes deeply.

"Niannian, why don't you look at it, but they're also coming to the flower hall." Xiao Rou said something, but she still stayed at the window and was reluctant to leave.

At this time, only a lively greeting was heard in the front hall outside.

It seems that Princess Lanxin is saying goodbye to Mrs. Su warmly, saying that she will come to visit them another day, hoping that Junchu will recover as much as possible and return to the court as soon as possible to help her father and brother share government affairs. Then Su Xiangye and Mrs. Su thanked the princess with trepidation, and asked Su Junchu to go out to send the princess to the sedan chair.

Xiao Rou and Niannian didn't hear Su Junchu answer, but the front hall suddenly quieted down, presumably sending Princess Lanxin out.
