Chapter 52: Contradictions

In a blink of an eye, it was the Wanshou Festival, the first night Zeng personally came to give her some clothes to enter the palace, the little girl's family, often love Sujing, but it is too pure and not good, not to mention that it is into the palace, and it is Wanshou Day, but it is not good to be too festive, like a flower shelf, the palace is full of red, but it cannot be compared.

Zhou Baolu is not a pure temperament, her flamboyant vitality seems to have contributed to her love of flowers, red, and bright personality, Zeng took a peach-colored gold and silver white magnolia gown to her and compared, and said softly: "Madame's meaning, let Sister Yin follow you, you keep a snack by yourself, tell the maids to be vigilant, but if you are not sure of the place, don't go, and watch her closer." ”

This is a strange order, although for a while in the palace, the ladies and elders drank tea and ate separately, but the Zeng family took her outside a lot on weekdays, and did not tell her like this at any time, Zhou Baolu said: "What's going on? ”

Zeng hesitated for a moment, but still felt that she should make it clear, and told her to take precautions: "That day, Sister Yin had a treat at home, and I heard that she was very close to Lin Ge's granddaughter, and she was talking behind her back, but she was far away, and her voice was small, so I didn't know what Lu Dao was talking about." It's only been seven or eight days since this matter was over, and the sister of the Wu family sent someone to send two posts to invite her, both of which were followed by the lady's maid, there is no news from my side, I guess, then the sister of the Wu family is not a safe one, what if something happens in the palace? You are close to her, if there is a mistake, I am afraid that I will be tired of you, you must have a number in your heart, see that there is something wrong with her, you have to stop it, she is a small family, no one remembers her in the palace, there is a thing that is easy to mix up, you are different, how many eyes look at you, that is, you have not done anything, maybe you have to plant her on your head, the cherry next to you is a good one, enter the palace and take her. ”

In the early years, Zhou Baolu was still young, and Zeng often told her some allusions, how did the girls of which family not have them, some of them were inappropriate, some of them were coincidental and had a bad life, and some of them were targeted, fooled, and suffered, and they couldn't say it.

Zhou Baolu's status is noble, but she must not offend anyone, and it is inevitable that some people will treat her as an imaginary enemy or simply jealous.

Teenage children, when they are most careless and bold, have no life experience, and often take it for granted, they dare to do something that even they can't afford to bear the consequences.

Zhou Baolu's mother didn't understand this, but Zeng didn't want the girl he brought up single-handedly to end up, and it didn't hurt to tell her earlier to understand that she had to be more vigilant against people.

In this circle, innocence is often the fatal point.

When Zhou Baolu heard Zeng's words, she understood: "What they can calculate, it's just thinking about how to be in the limelight." I knew what I said, so I asked Cherry to follow me into the palace. ”

Think about the reception turmoil that day, the two of them rushed to climb the high branches, don't look at it, think about it all the way, and the strange way can be said to go together.

On the second day, Mrs. Yang and Zeng's took Zhou Baolu and Gu Xueyin into the palace together, Gu Xueyin was also dressed up very exquisitely, her appearance followed the Gu family, her pointed face, slender eyes were slightly raised, and her white skin was also a beauty.

There are certain rules for entering the palace, what time, which door to take, which place to get off, which palace to enter, which people to see, are guided, but because it is the longevity festival, more than three orders are ordered to enter the palace to congratulate, the number of people is the most, it is inevitable that some are good, and the palace ladies are all kinds of relatives, take advantage of such a festive day, walk around, it doesn't hurt.

Zhou Baolu first followed into the Deqing Palace to meet Concubine Qing, Concubine Qing is the highest-grade woman in the palace today, and the phoenix seal, although she was not crowned the imperial concubine, but faintly has the style of the deputy queen, she treated everyone to see the courtesy, and Mrs. Yang and the Zeng family talked, then pulled Zhou Baolu and smiled: "It's strange today, why didn't you follow the eldest princess in?" ”

A very familiar tone.

Zhou Baolu was actually not familiar with her, but she couldn't refute it, so she smiled and said: "If you go back to your mother, my mother is not in good health, and she is raised outside, and my grandmother thinks I am naughty, and she makes trouble with her old man, so she sent me to live at my uncle's house, and told me that it is the same to follow my aunt into the palace, so you don't have to wait for her old man." ”

Concubine Qing smiled and said, "Are you also naughty?" Coax me, this month I met five ladies who came into the palace to talk to me, and four of them said that you are a good man, saying that the eldest princess is the best at regulating people, and her two daughters have been married to Lu for all these years, who doesn't say good? Now that my granddaughter is also conditioning like this, I am very envious when I hear it, and I am thinking that when our sister is older, I will also send it to the princess's mansion to raise it. ”

As he spoke, the people around him laughed and complimented Concubine Qing one after another. The little princess is always golden and jade, and it is not too much to say good things.

Zhou Baolu just laughed, didn't speak, and Zeng didn't say anything, although no one took it seriously, it often represented a kind of wind direction, and it became more and more impossible to say anything, as long as he smiled to express his appreciation.

Mrs. Yang was unhappy, the two girls stood together, about the same height and shortness, no one paid attention to Xue Yin, Concubine Qing only pulled Zhou Baolu and praised and praised, she smiled and said: "Sister Lu is getting older and more sensible, look at the two of them standing together, it looks like a pair of sisters." ”

There were a few noble ladies who lowered their heads and covered their mouths and smiled, this grandmother's eccentricity was boundless, and she couldn't wait to take one granddaughter to pull the other.

Two granddaughters with such an identity are embarrassed to say that they are sisters? I'm afraid that Jing and the eldest princess won't do it.

Seeing this, Concubine Qing smiled: "Sure enough, he is also a good boy." ”

Then he turned his head and said to Zhou Baolu: "Let's talk, you are also panicked, fortunately, early this morning, the eldest princess sent a grandmother to wait in my palace, saying that you entered the palace, so please go to her room to talk." I'm afraid I'll hold you. ”

When the palace maid next to her heard this, she hurriedly went to invite her grandmother to come, and Concubine Qing smiled and said: "You go over, or the children have something to say together, talk to us, and be bored." ”

Zhou Baolu smiled: "Actually, I also like to listen to my mother's words, but my mother wants to chase me, so I'll go and sit down first." Come back and listen to the mother. ”

The grandmother in the eldest princess's palace is surnamed Xu, and she came to invite Zhou Baolu at this time, Mrs. Yang was busy pushing Gu Xueyin, Gu Xueyin followed, Mama Xu looked back, and Zhou Baolu had to say, "This is my cousin." ”

Mama Xu didn't say anything.

The eldest princess was about to say something, and when she saw Zhou Baolu and Gu Xueyin entering the door together, she opened her mouth and said, "Why is she here too?" ”

Zhou Baolu was helpless, I really didn't know if the eldest princess really lacked heart or false eyes, so she said: "The first time my cousin entered the palace, my grandmother told me to look at her more, so as not to lose the rules and make people laugh." ”

The eldest princess just asked Gu Xueyin to sit, and pulled Zhou Baolu to speak: "Xiaorou said to come later, her sister is newly named the county lord, called Ning Xin, and she wants to take her to the palace to say a word, you know that their family rules are big, and the eldest cousin wants to take Xiaorou and Ning Xin around everywhere, and Xiaorou will not dare to get out of the air." ”

Cheng Wangfu now has three daughters, King Cheng is the first royal brother, and the biological mother has the grace of nurturing with today, the face is the largest, the three concubines have been awarded the title of county lord, the eldest sister Ning Wan is the daughter of the concubine, and now she has come out of the cabinet, Xiaorou and Ningxin are both step-concubines Princess Zhou, speaking of which, Princess Zhou's maiden family is also a distant relative of Zhou Baolu.

Zhou Baolu nodded: "It doesn't matter if it's common horizontally or vertically." ”

The eldest princess said something else, and couldn't help but glance at Gu Xueyin one by one, she had something to say to Xiaolu, why is this kraft candy so blind.

Gu Xueyin actually didn't have much fun sitting by herself, but she refused to leave, for fear that she would lose Zhou Baolu and mess up her plans.

Zhou Baolu knew what the eldest princess meant, but she really didn't plan to listen to her private words, that matter was already in the past for her, no matter what he said, it was useless.

It only adds to the sadness.

Just like the few brocade bags still hanging on the window lattice, silently stubborn in the dark, it only adds to the sadness.

Every three or two days, there will be an additional one, the person refuses to give up as if he is ruthless, and Zhou Baolu still refuses to open the window, and the two of them face each other in such a strange way, and they refuse to retreat.

After a while, Gu Xueyin's maid came in and said a word, and Gu Xueyin said to Zhou Baolu: "Cousin, my grandmother said that we should go to Jingde Palace to say goodbye to Concubine Duan." ”

Zhou Baolu was like being amnestied, and she was so grateful to Gu Xueyin for the first time, so she hurriedly stood up: "Eldest princess, I'll go over first." ”

The eldest princess fell to her feet, why is she so unlucky! It's easy to look forward to her coming into the palace, and she ruins the situation with this fart, this girl is really sticky, and she doesn't have any eyes.

She had to pull Zhou Baolu and bite her ear and instructed: "Alas, I haven't finished speaking, you go back and find a vacancy, come alone, I have something good here, I don't want to show her." ”

Even if you have the Queen Mother's peach? Zhou Baolu thought to herself, I'd better not come.

Today, fortunately, Mrs. Yang was so angry and sent Gu Xueyin to follow her, otherwise the eldest princess wouldn't know what to say again, it was really ...... Why bother.

Zhou Baolu nodded indiscriminately and said perfunctorily: "Well, I know it, I'll try my best." ”

The words were cut short and fast, obviously casually perfunctory, not sincere at all.

The eldest princess sent her out, and when she saw her go away, she turned back to the inner room and said: "I said you deserve it, you did stupid things, and I thought that I was so wise and martial, but now people don't want to hear a word, even I avoid it, and I go fast!" It's really hard for you. ”

While lifting the curtain and entering the inner room, Xiao Hongcheng sat on the kang, his beautiful face was tight, and his body was full of murderous momentum, even the eldest princess didn't want to go over, leaned against the door from afar, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand and eating slowly.

Seeing that his brother didn't say a word, the eldest princess had to continue to speak: "You hide your head and tail like this, who can blame you?" The reputation of the little girl is important, can she be like a gentleman like you? It's not good-looking, it's nothing more than saying that you are romantic, you still marry a daughter-in-law, change to a little girl, and people only have to hang themselves! Don't read too much of the book, why do you want to run at night? To be honest, I think it's really two hundred and five talents, you have seen three or five times, and sent things twice, and people will have to lack the heart and eyes to run with you at night? Unless that's also a book that I've read too much, I think about the handsome book every day and make a romantic story, Xiaolu is really not such a fool, I think she's called killing decisively, that Qisi just showed her head, and she cut off her head, and she didn't see, listen, or pick up things, so she told you your name once, and left a thought for herself, and she was worthy of herself. ”

Xiao Hongcheng Mumu's face almost changed color, the eldest princess finished eating the melon seeds in her hand, clapped her hands, and then comforted her brother: "According to me, this is not a bad thing, if she didn't have some thoughts about you, she wouldn't avoid you so much, if you are like a buddy, you just think you're interesting, then you still need to be like this, naturally it's generous, meet and smile and say hello, talk, if that's the case, I don't think you have to think about it, pick a beautiful girl as soon as possible to be my sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for her, A good child is filial piety. ”

Xiao Hongcheng was choked by her and couldn't speak, she almost looked like she was going to peel off her skin, and the eldest princess was not afraid of death and continued: "Hey, I said, you really do this to yourself yourself, you said that you just hid your head and tail when you met for the first time, and then what did you hide?" Are you afraid that people will know that you are going to eat you? You're not a prince yet, what's the hurry? Hurry up and pretend to be ......" She said smoothly, but fortunately her tail bit quickly, the word didn't come out, and her tongue was changed to a different word: "Big tail wolf!" If you really become a prince in the future, you won't have to cover your face when you go out? Just bring a helmet? ”

She ridiculed her brother for saying that he was happy, very smooth, her brother was not good-tempered, so he grabbed a fruit and smashed it at her: "It's useless to say this, itchy skin?" Didn't I find a chance to talk to her, I never found a good time, I was afraid of scaring her. ”

The eldest princess shrunk her neck, and knew that this was her brother's embarrassment, knowing that she was wrong, but she must not admit her mistake in her mouth, but there was also that factor, she didn't find the opportunity, she was cold, and told people, I changed my face, do you know Lu Dao?

Don't you be frightened by the howls?

The eldest princess then came up with an idea: "I look at you now, honestly let people know who you are, admit your mistake, tell her that as long as she is willing, she can be my sister-in-law, and then see what people say, you are offending people now, you just say it, you have to bow and beg others, it's not authentic, even I can't get used to it!" It's a shame that my father still said that I don't care, why didn't he come to see you, look at what you do, I'm your own sister, I also have to say that you are a mess! ”

Xiao Hongcheng hesitated a little: "That...... What if she doesn't want to? ”

The eldest princess immediately said: "Then you tell her, if you don't want to, then you have to be my sister-in-law!" ”

Didn't she just wait for Xiao Hongcheng to ask this, so that she could say this? At this time, she spoke smoothly, and immediately smiled forward and backward, laughing at her brother.

Xiao Hongcheng really hates the itchy root of his teeth, and when he is idle one day, he has to give her a tight skin!

At this time, he didn't have time to fight a lawsuit with her, Xiao Hongcheng said very depressedly: "Aren't I just waiting here to apologize to her?" She walked fast, and she didn't know where to get a kraft candy, so she followed slimy and asked me to ask......"

"It's useless to ask!" The eldest princess said mercilessly: "If Xiaolu is willing, ten kraft candy sticky can also find a space to see you, people are unwilling, when they see you turn around and leave, do you dare to go up and pull it?" You better be honest, what are some people afraid of, Xiaolu is a measured person, and he will definitely not give you no face in front of people, no one else, maybe it! ”

"Really?"

"Really!"

Xiao Hongcheng always felt that his sister was unreliable, and he was famous for being out of tune since he was a child, and he was very suspicious, but at this time, he really couldn't find anyone to ask.

If you ask Uncle Shen, it's nothing more than that: If you can't do it, go and grab it back, is it enough to give you 5,000 black cavalry guards?

If you ask his father...... Forget it, his father himself is a mess, and there is really no hope of learning from his father.

Xiao Hongcheng thought about it for a long time, but there was really no other way, first go and find out the identity clearly, if the deer is still unwilling, just grab it back!

Thinking about having such a way out, Xiao Hongcheng finally mustered up the courage.

Really, when facing those high-ranking officials, clans, and even robbers and bandits along the road, I have never been so worried. Xiao Hongcheng actually felt that his face was feverish.

This just mustered up the courage, outside the eldest princess's personal palace maid Lilac ran in a panic, Xiao Hongcheng in the inside, she didn't dare to go in without permission, so she ran to the door, and said through the door curtain: "Princess, there is a commotion on the Baolian Embankment, there is a Miss Wu family who fell into the water, and she was rescued and pushed by Miss Zhou of Jinghe Eldest Princess's Mansion, Miss Zhou did not admit it, Miss Wu family cried so much, and kept saying that she wanted to call the palace lady to give justice, this will be indispensable!" ”

The eldest princess was startled, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Xiao Hongcheng, Xiao Hongcheng looked cold, calmly went down to the kang to put on shoes, Lilac saw that she was busy coming in to serve, Xiao Hongcheng kicked her away: "What are you doing here, immediately go out to call my guards, transfer people to seal the Baolian Causeway, and don't alarm the girls." ”

Lilac hurriedly ran out of the house.

The eldest princess didn't speak, leaned to the side to look at him, Xiao Hongcheng was not in a hurry, calmly put on his shoes, straightened his belt, and only snorted lightly: "Dare to bully my daughter-in-law, look for death!" ”

The eldest princess is a spirit, and her brother is angry!

was originally not very happy, but because of his daughter-in-law's attitude, someone suddenly jumped out, whether it was bullying his daughter-in-law or not, and always gave him a place to vent.

Xiao Hongcheng is a person like him, others didn't provoke him, he can still kick twice, not to mention that someone came out to target his daughter-in-law, and it happened to be when the two of them were 'in conflict', and they poked him more and more in the sore spots, so that he was about to come out immediately.

Who hit him in his hand, it's pitiful to think about.

While thinking so, the eldest princess followed behind Xiao Hongcheng with a smile and walked towards Baolian Causeway.
