Hatsu Tao left the Jiang Mansion with Hatsu Sakura very happily and took a carriage to the Three Kings' Mansion. Chu Tao pointed to a huge palace and said to Chu Sakura: "Sister Sakura, such a large residence is yours, you are really rich, it is good to be a princess." ”

Hatsu Sakura smiled and said, "Everything is mine, it's nonsense here again, you treat the three kings and princesses as air." If you think it's good to be a princess, then you should also be a princess. ”

Chu Tao waved his hand: "Didn't you listen to what my mother said, you will marry me when you are blind." I'm not going to be bored. By the way, Sister Sakura, let's go and see the third princess first, such a big palace is empty, how pitiful the third princess is alone. ”

Hatsu Sakura said, "Let's go, Sister Koto's right sister must miss you very much." But she's not doing well physically and mentally, you have to make her happy more, you know? ”

Hatsu Peach nodded, so Hatsu Sakura took Hatsu Peach to Koto's residence. It's afternoon, and Chu Sakura was worried that Qin You would take a lunch break at first, but after listening to a few little maids at the door talking and laughing, she knew that Qin You didn't sleep. She deliberately did not let the servant report it, and when she got closer, she saw that Qin You was doing needlework.

After such a long time, Chu Tao saw the third princess again, but she was thinner than before, and the hands that stretched out were only skin and no flesh, and the bones in her hands had to break free.

"You're here?" Qin You's voice was still happy, and when she looked up, Chu Tao saw two big eyes on her pointed little face, because she was so thin, she didn't even have any meat left on her face, so her eyes were bigger, and her collarbones were jagged, which made people feel distressed.

Hatsu Sakura saw the needlework in her hand and blamed, "Are you a female celebrity again?" How many times before I left the palace that you are not allowed to do these hurtful work, it seems that those slaves and maids are useless, and they will not listen to me like you. There are so many embroiderers in the family, why are you bothering? Don't I know your mind? ”

Hatsumomo bowed her head, and in her right hand was a cut baby dress, it turned out that she was making clothes for Hatsu Sakura's child. Qin You smiled shyly: "Don't blame the subordinates, I have to do it." If I don't do this, I'll be bored in the house. I only do one hour's work every day, and I will be told to do it. ”

Hatsu Sakura said: "You are only allowed to do this one, and if you do it again, I will really be annoyed." ”

Qin You coughed twice and said, "I promise you." You two came just in time, just to accompany me to talk, these days I feel that I can't sleep enough, my body is too tired, with you here, I can also be a little more energetic. ”

As soon as she said these words, Qin You couldn't breathe, and there were beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, and she called a maid to come in: "Bring that diorama." After a while, the maid used a red tray to present something that the first peach had never seen before, divided into two sides, with a delicate peacock pattern behind it, and a thin, bright thing on the front. Chu Tao stretched out his hand to pick it up and take a look, and saw that a woman with red lips and white teeth was clearly reflected in this thing, Chu Tao stuck out her tongue, and the people inside also stuck out her tongue, Chu Tao realized that this so-called diorama is actually the same as the bronze mirror she usually uses, but this one is a little clearer.

"Wow, what kind of good thing is this, where did the princess come from?" Rao is a well-informed Chu Tao has never seen this thing.

Qin You explained: "This is a gift from the envoy from the West to the prince in the past, and the prince said, I want something from this thing, so he threw it to me." It's ridiculous to say, when I was younger, I didn't like this thing, I found it uncomfortable, and when I got old and wanted to use it, and I found that this diorama showed the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes, so I didn't want to use it. If you are here today, I will give it to you. ”

Chu Tao took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, princess, for cutting love!" But princess, you said that you have wrinkles at the corners of your eyes, why didn't I see it, it's still so beautiful! ”

Hatsu Sakura answered: "Sister is so eccentric, such a good baby is only given to Sister Hatsumo, and she doesn't give it to me, it's eccentric." ”

"Look at her, a mother, and she loves to be petty so much. I ask you, how much have you received for the unborn child? Qin You coughed a few more times.

Hatsu Sakura said with a smile: "Since I found out about the happy pulse, she, every day, try her best to send something to my child, today is a longevity lock, tomorrow is Yu Ruyi, I don't know how many heads my child has grown to wear so many things." ”

Qin You still wanted to laugh again, but he coughed badly, and finally his face was red, Chu Tao hurriedly poured a glass of water for Qin You, worried: "Why do you cough so badly, please come and see the doctor?" ”

Hatsu Sakura also walked over and closed the window, for fear that a cool breeze outside would catch Koto's right. Qin You said: "It's okay, even if Hua Tuo is alive, my illness is like this, and when the doctor comes, he just prescribes some medicine for me to drink, even if it is bitter, it will have no effect if I drink it, so it is better not to suffer from this crime." ”

Chu Tao had no choice but to say: "Then my sister and I will go back first, so as not to disturb the princess's rest." ”

After the first cherry sisters withdrew from the courtyard on the right side of the qin, the first cherry blossom said: "You have also seen, there is no one in the house except me and the third princess, the palace is so big, you can choose a room to live in, there are no other conditions, you are not allowed to get too close to the princess, I am afraid that your lively temperament will make her rest." ”

Chu Tao was overjoyed: "Really? Which one can I stay in? Then I'm going to stay in a guest room. "As for which room it is, it's already obvious, it's the room that used to spend the night with Xue Congjia! Hatsumomo felt that she could find that room with her eyes closed!

Hatsu Sakura felt inexplicable: "You kid, why are you so strange, why do you want to live in a guest room." "When the palace was built, it was considered that the three kings were going to marry concubines and have babies, so there were a lot of rooms, but the palace was not prosperous, and many main courtyards were empty." The guest room is very small, and the things are not complete, I will arrange it for you in the Furong Courtyard, where a lot of flowers and plants are planted, and the sunshine is also very good, do you see it? ”

Chu Tao still insisted with a smile: "I don't think it's very small, what is the house going to be so big, it's scary to be empty, I'll live in the guest room, I like the guest room." ”

Hatsu Sakura is also used to it, and the thoughts in Hatsu Momo's mind are always different from others, since she wants to, let her go.

Xiao Hong and Xiao Zi quickly cleaned up the room with the assistance of the servants of the palace, and Chu Tao rolled around the bed several times excitedly, although after a long time, she still felt that this place was full of Xue Congjia's breath. Tomorrow is the poetry meeting, the location of the poetry meeting is in Jichang Garden, whether Xue Congjiashen participates in the poetry meeting or not, he can go to Jichang Garden to find him! First ask him why he didn't reply to him, and then look at his recent changes, she still has a lot to say to Xue Congjia.

Chu Tao rolled on the bed with a pillow again, and the little maid who came in to deliver things was startled, and quietly asked Xiaohong if she needed to call the doctor to come over and take a look. The furniture in this room is very simple, a bed, a carved cabinet with two doors, a small dresser, a round table with two stools, and nothing else.

Chu Tao didn't care, she casually put the crape myrtle flowers picked outside into the bottle, and the room suddenly had a little more breath of life. Chu Tao was lying on the bed, and she had practiced the words and movements of meeting each other many times, and finally she jumped down from the bed again and said to Xiaohong, "Have you brought all my clothes?" Let me pick out which one to wear tomorrow. ”

Xiaohong opened the wardrobe that she had just cleaned up again, and said to Chu Tao: "These are all you wear at home, if you want me to say, it doesn't matter which one you wear, anyway, Miss looks good in any of them." ”

Chu Tao stuck out her tongue and said: "That's not good, on such an important day tomorrow, I must dress up well." ”

Xiao Zi teased Chu Tao: "That's not it, Master Shi will also participate tomorrow, so how many girls will have to be attracted to come, and they must be desperate to beat themselves one by one." ”

Xiaohong smiled and said, "I heard that Princess Xile also invited Sun Yihao to participate in the poetry meeting——"

Chu Tao sneered: "It's a shame that she wants to get an invitation to Sun Yihao, I'm afraid she didn't mean to disgust me." ”

Xiaohong said: "I haven't finished yet, Princess Xile did invite Sun Yihao, and Sun Yihao was very happy to participate, but--our eldest lady didn't give him a participatory." ”

Chu Tao smiled, too, thinking about Chu Ju's temperament, how could he let him come out to participate in the poetry meeting, let alone let him meet him. Hatsu Tao said, "Where did you hear the news?" ”

Xiaohong said: "I met Miss Shao Min on the street yesterday, she told me. The second lady also quarreled with Sun Yihao because of this matter. ”

Chu Tao nodded, didn't take it seriously, drank two sips of tea and sat on the stool in a daze. couldn't help but think of everything that happened in the mansion again, thinking of Zeng Yuxin, who behaved suspiciously, and the hairpin that was inexplicably sent to the pawnshop, Chu Tao glanced at Xiao Zi and couldn't help sighing.

She remembered that this hairpin was particularly colorful and very precious, she generally didn't take it out to wear, the last time it was taken out was when the first cherry blossom was married, she still remembered that this hairpin was worn by Xiao Zi for herself, and then she didn't know where to go. Chu Tao has a headache, who will take his own hairpin, take it, how can it be such a little money, isn't this an insult to that black jade!

Chu Tao propped up her head and pretended to ask casually: "I suddenly remembered that I lost a hairpin, did you find it when you cleaned up for me this time?" ”

Xiaohong asked, "What kind of hairpin?" I haven't heard Miss mention it, have you? ”

"A silver hairpin with an inky bead embedded in it." Chu Tao said as she peeked at Xiao Zi's face.

Xiao Zi's expression was a little unnatural, and she said with a stiff smile: "That one, I remember...... The second lady wore it on the day she got married. Hatsu Tao nodded and said, "Yes, but it disappeared soon after I came back." ”

"Alas, that's a precious black jade! It's worth a fortune! I lost it! After Chu Tao finished speaking, Xiao Zi's face turned white all of a sudden. e8
