154 Xiao Wan'er
Xiao Guifei's appearance is not ugly, but it is definitely not stunning, at most she can be regarded as a middle-aged person. In addition, she suffered a lot in the North Palace in her early years, and it seems that she is older than her actual age.
Perhaps because of this, she pays special attention to dressing up, integrating all kinds of jewels into one, and her bright and dazzling face. However, everything is too much, and this kind of dress does not add to her beauty, but makes people feel vulgar and unbearable.
If he hadn't seen Xiao Guifei with his own eyes, no one would have thought of it. is such a person, who actually touched all the emperor's minds, what kind of charm is this!
"Jun Qinglan, do you think this palace is beautiful?"
Concubine Xiao's question shocked Jun Qinglan, this is going to ...... How to answer?
"Mother...... mother." Jun Qinglan sighed and said: "Niangniang's temperament and demeanor are naturally different from others, where can it be described as simple beauty and ugliness?" Your charm can make the emperor admire you, which shows that any woman in the world is less than one-ten-thousandth of her demeanor. ”
Although this is a bit of a loss, it is not a lie. Jun Qinglan searched her stomach for a long time, and after all, she could only find a few words to deal with.
"Huh." Concubine Xiao Guifei seemed to be in a good mood, raised her hand to half-hide her face, and said to the woman sitting beside her: "Isn't it difficult for this palace to look at him, now rest assured?" ”
Jun Qinglan frowned, rest assured...... What do you mean? Although this was not said to her, it made her sound so awkward?
"What Niangniang said is that Wan'er thanks Niangniang for her great kindness."
In the woman's delicate and delicate voice, Xiao Guifei laughed: "This palace has always looked at Wan'er as a good person, and it really didn't disappoint this palace." ”
"King Duan, this is Xiao Wan, the cousin of this palace, what do you think?"
Jun Qinglan was very curious about Xiao Wan, she really wanted to see who the future heroine of Duanwangfu was. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at the woman sitting under Concubine Xiao.
This man......
Jun Qinglan took a hard breath of cold air.
She originally thought that Xiao Guifei was a person, Xiao Liang was not amazing, and the appearance of Xiao's children was not very expected. However, Xiao Wan really surprised her. She has just reached the end of this year, and her hair is as green as ink, and she asked the maid to carefully pull the flying bun, and her neck is as slender as jade. There was not too much decoration on her bun, only a crown of peony flowers and beads was pinned in the middle, and her half-fingered long eyebrows fell down, and a vein of pearlescent light swept out at her slender pair of curved eyebrows. Her eyebrows are picturesque, and her eyes are like autumn water.
At this moment, she half-hung her head, only half of her face was exposed, which made people can't help but sigh, the years are quiet, and the quiet woman is beautiful.
Xiao Wan is completely different from Xiao Guifei!
With such a look and demeanor, he should indeed have a good match and be able to bear the identity of being the housewife. However, in the end, she is so short, do you want to be a princess...... Jun Qinglan couldn't help but look sideways at Li Congyao.
What would he think?
Li Congyao also raised his head at this moment, but his long and narrow phoenix eyes collided with Jun Qinglan. Jun Qinglan was flustered for a moment, and quickly opened her eyes, but the corners of Li Congyao's lips were almost invisible, and her eyes were meaningful.
"The cousin of the concubine is naturally not bad." He said.
Such an answer is ambiguous, it seems to be praising Xiao Wan, but it is clearly out of Xiao Guifei's identity. No matter how it sounds, it's not a satisfactory answer.
"What's a good way?" Of course, Xiao Guifei didn't plan to give up just yet.
"Since she is the cousin of the concubine Niangniang, she should know much better than the subordinates where she is a good mother."
Li Congyao's answer was a little blunt, and Jun Qinglan clearly saw Xiao Wan's swan-like low neck tremble. This girl's mentality is still a little weaker. Li Congyao's poison has not been revealed at the moment, and if he can't bear it to such an extent, he is afraid that it will be difficult in the future.
If you want to enter the Duanwang Mansion, the glass heart is absolutely unacceptable.
"This palace knows that it is a matter of this palace." Xiao Guifei's voice also hardened a little: "Wan'er is going to marry into Duanwangfu in the future and be your Duanwang Princess." What's in her good, shouldn't you know? ”
Li Congyao's complexion was light, and he was provoked by Xiao Guifei, but there was not even half a bit of anger in his eyes: "Everything depends on the emperor." ”
This is really not polite at all, as if implying that this is the emperor's forced marriage, and he himself seems to be a little reluctant.
Xiao Guifei squinted, seeing that she was about to have a seizure, Xiao Wan suddenly pulled her sleeve: "Niangniang, Wan'er is suddenly a little unwell, please allow Wan'er to go back to the inner hall to rest for a while." ”
For a girl who has never been in the world, Li Congyao's attitude is an insult, where can she bear it?
"Go ahead." Xiao Guifei patted the back of her hand to show comfort: "Wan'er, just rest assured, Princess Duan is none other than you." There is this palace here, see who dares to say a word. ”
Jun Qinglan lowered her head, sighing in her heart. Xiao Wan is a pure and weak girl, the stronger Xiao Guifei is, the more embarrassed she feels. This girl is really pitiful, she is a good flower-like age, but she has become a victim of political overthrow.
Xiao Wanrumeng got up with amnesty, but looked at Jun Qinglan with a pair of wonderful eyes: "Wan'er wants to ask Lord Jun to take a step to speak, I wonder if Lord Jun can mind?" ”
"He doesn't mind." Li Congyao's answer was faster than anyone's.
"That's great, please please."
Looking at the gentle woman opposite, with a gentle and cheerful smile. Jun Qinglan was completely speechless!
Anyway, she's a man now, isn't she? Is it really okay for a young lady who has not left the cabinet to meet a man in private? Also, why did one or two of you make decisions for others?
People have a temper, okay!
"Jun Qinglan, you can escort Wan'er back for the palace." Different from facing Li Congyao's kindness, Xiao Guifei's eyes were arrogant and contemptuous when she looked at Jun Qinglan, and she seemed to have a little disgust: "If Wan'er has anything wrong, this palace will definitely not let you go." Got it? ”
"The subordinate understands."
Jun Qinglan bowed and saluted, she understood? She doesn't understand anything, okay!
She is not Xiao Wan's father, and she can't fight her. If she doesn't go well, why don't you let her go?
Xiao Wan was relieved at this time, and looked at Jun Qinglan with a smile: "Lord Jun, let's go." ”
Jun Qinglan sighed secretly in her heart and followed Xiao Wan out of the hall. Xiao Wan walked very slowly, and her steps were extremely elegant, and at a glance, she knew that she had undergone strict training. Her maid-in-law did not follow closely behind her, but was half a step behind Jun Qinglan.
This situation makes Jun Qinglan a little vigilant in her heart, Xiao Wan clearly has something to do with her, what is this going on?
"There's a pavilion there, Lord Jun should accompany Wan'er to sit on it." Xiao Wan suddenly stopped, raised her hand and pointed to a wooden pavilion on the rockery near Chi Qi.
Although Xiao Liang's mansion can also be called complete, it is really not worth mentioning compared to the noble families in the capital. Jun Qinglan felt that she had only been walking for a while, and she had already arrived at the garden of the back house. Although the pavilion looks magnificent and brightly colored, it is clearly a new oil paint, and no matter how you look at it, there is a little swelling and fat in a hurry. It seems that in order to welcome Li Congyao, Xiao Liang really made a mistake.
"Isn't Miss unwell and needs to go back to her room to rest?" Jun Qinglan half-lowered her eyes and talked to Xiao Wan, no matter where she looked, she was worthy of the duty of a courtier.
Although she is just an ordinary woman without a title at the moment, she is far inferior to her, the general banner master of the seven grades of the Zhenfu Division. However, she will become Princess Duan in the future, and there will still be a number of courtesies, and Jun Qinglan doesn't want to make trouble for herself. Xiao Guifei is definitely not a person who can be easily offended!
"Don't hide it from Lord Jun, Wan'er's body is fine. When he said that, he just wanted to have a good talk with Lord Jun. ”
Xiao Wan's confession surprised Jun Qinglan. She actually said her purpose so straightforwardly?
"Wait below, and no one is allowed to go up without my command." Xiao Wan looked at the maid who was waiting close and ordered lightly.
After that, he stepped up to the gazebo first. Jun Qinglan couldn't, and had to follow.
The space in the pavilion of the Xiao family is very small, and only four horizontal chairs are inlaid on the four pillars of the pavilion for people to rest, and they can't even fit a table. Xiao Wan picked up a chair and sat down first, and pointed to the chair opposite. Jun Qinglan was not polite to her, and sat down opposite Xiao Wan. However, her hands were always pressed against her knees, which seemed a little cramped and unnatural. She really didn't understand what she could say to Xiao Wan, the future princess of Duan, in front of her.
"Lord Jun has been following the prince for some days, and he should know the prince's preferences best."
“…… Kindness? ”
Jun Qinglan didn't expect that Xiao Wan's opening remarks would be so shocking. What is ...... called? Have you been following the prince for a few days? She...... Do you really think you have that kind of relationship with Li Congyao?
"You don't have to be embarrassed." Xiao Wan smiled and said, "In the future, when Wan'er enters the mansion, she will have to deal with Lord Jun." Everyone is a person who serves the prince, and they should always be closer than the people next to them. ”
Jun Qinglan, hehe, I can't find the words to describe my mood at the moment. Li Congyao! Yours is the real thing!!
"Wan'er comes from a humble background, and being fortunate enough to be Princess Duan is something that she never dreamed of." Xiao Wan hooked the corner of her lips: "Therefore, Wan'er is very self-aware, and she will not be like a secular person." Wan'er can accept and respect Jun. After all, you are a famous figure in our Yanjing City, and you have given many favors to the people, and Wan'er respects you as a person. ”
Is this a compliment to her? What's the deal with not feeling joy at all?
"So, please don't have any grudges. can teach Wan'er what to pay attention to in advance, and don't ask Wan'er to do anything that angers the prince in the future. ”
The woman's eyes were sincere and full of expectation, and Jun Qinglan's heart ached: "The subordinates are really ...... Nothing can be taught to Miss. If you want to know something, it's more practical to ask Rong Xi. ”
Xiao Wan frowned: "Lord Jun is still annoyed with Wan'er, Wan'er really won't be your enemy." Why do you need to be so rejected? Although Gonggong Rong is a eunuch who serves the prince closely, where is there an adult who is so close to the prince. After all....... ”
