There were several maidservant mothers standing in the courtyard, but the whole courtyard was still quiet, and everyone stood respectfully, and when they saw Qiao Siwan and them coming, they immediately knelt down to salute.

Yahuan lifted the curtain, Qiao Siwan walked in, and at a glance, Concubine Dong on the chair was magnificent, graceful and luxurious, bright as a blooming peony flower. If she hadn't known Concubine Dong's age, Qiao Siwan would not have trusted the woman in front of her to cross the age of thirty.

Concubine Dong's eyes were as warm as the spring sun, swept from Qiao Siwan's body, and fell on Princess Xiangxue: "Princess, are you feeling better?" ”

Mu Hongxue smiled slightly, with a dignified tone: "Concubine Dong, thanks to you, my body is much better." "The voice is sweet and waxy, and it seems very gentle.

"That's fine, I'm still worried about the future, so I'll feel more at ease." Concubine Dong nodded, as if she was most pleased.

Mu Hongxue said very simply: "If it weren't for Concubine Dong Niangniang sending precious medicinal materials to me twice in three days, and the princess of the county always accompanying me to talk and relieve my boredom, I wouldn't have gotten out of bed and walked so quickly." ”

"The princess is really a well-informed person." Concubine Dong had a hint of satisfaction in her voice. "You were injured for our Wan'er, and doing something for you is also our heart's content. If you just leave it alone, wouldn't it make your conscience uneasy, and if you spread it, you would be poked in the back, Wan'er, don't you say? ”

Qiao Siwan smiled and took a sip of tea, her voice was like a silver bell, but it sounded thin: "What Concubine Dong said is true." ”

Just said so lightly, without any emotion, Concubine Dong frowned slightly, Mu Hongxue felt that her sideburns were sweating, and said busily: "I'm much better at this time, I can move out......"

Concubine Dong smiled, and instantly burst out with a scorching brilliance like the scorching sun, as if she had illuminated the house: "What a stupid child, the court judge just said that you can walk around the courtyard, but didn't say that you can leave the Yanwang Mansion, if you want to go, you will definitely have to take a carriage, your body and bones can't fluctuate." ”

That's true, the wound has just scabbed, if it fluctuates at this time, the injured condition will be aggravated, Qiao Siwan put down the teacup and said softly: "Princess, Concubine Dong is full of enthusiasm, why do you refuse?" If you do leave, the mother will blame us for not summoning us well.

Mu Hongxue's expression turned red and said, "But I'm always here, I'm afraid that my mother will think I'm noisy." ”

Concubine Dong smiled: "Probably, probably, I'm old, and there are no juniors around me, you come to see me!" ”

Listen to that...... It was really a bit of urgency, Qiao Siwan couldn't help but raise her head.

Why did Concubine Dong go to all the lengths to leave Mu Hongxue in Yanwang's Mansion? Such a thought also flashed, and Qiao Siwan's eyes immediately rippled with a smile if there is nothing.

Concubine Dong glanced at Qiao Siwan deeply, turned around and instructed the people around her: "What kind of identity is the princess, how can an ordinary girl be raised?" From me, I will send four more sensible maids to support the princess. ”

Yahuan replied "yes" very respectfully.

Concubine Dong is really caring, didn't she already send two of them? Qiao Siwan thought in her heart and couldn't help but shake her head. This Concubine Dong, first regarded the prince as her own, and then stumbled on herself, and at this time, she was so good to Mu Hongxue, it always made people a little hairy.

At this time, Sun Rouning walked in with a smile, she was surrounded by a sable Zhaojun set on her forehead, surrounded by a sable coat, and a rose-purple silk ribbon tied around her waist, from the stone blue carved silk fur skirt to the boots, and she came back from Shiqing carved silk to her boots: "It's so warm here, why don't you call me?" She saluted Concubine Dong and said, "By the way, today I bumped into a new gadget outside and brought it to relieve your boredom." With that, she turned back and shouted, "Come!" Bring it up! ”

It? All the people in the house looked at the door. After a while, I saw the maid ring next to Sun Rouning entering with a bird cage, and there was a red-billed parrot with green feathers in it, which looked the most energetic.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Siwan had a smile on her face, and her pretty eyes narrowed.

"Come and see, this parrot can speak human words, and it has great intentions!" Mu Hongxue was the first to move, her face was full of joy, and she asked, "Can this parrot speak?" What will you say? ”

She was about to speak, when a loud voice came first: "Master Wanfu, Master Wanfu, Master Wanfu!" ”

Mu Hongxue's eyes widened suddenly, and the tears on her face became more and more pitiful: "I can really speak, Concubine Dong, listen quickly, this parrot can speak human words!" ”

Concubine Dong smiled: "Yes, this kind of parrot is rare, most of them have been domesticated by people for many years, and it takes a lot of blood and sweat to do it!" ”

Sun Rouning said with a smile: "That's right, I heard the domesticated people say that it takes several years of hard work to learn one or two sentences, it's really not easy, and I have to listen to that person's words, so I invited the parrot keeper into the house, and when the prince celebrates his birthday, let it say a few auspicious words, and the prince will be happy!" After speaking, his eyes swept towards Qiao Siwan.

Qiao Siwan still sat there lazily, not standing up, her fair cheeks were particularly clearly outlined by the thin gray sunlight in the afternoon, and she squinted her eyes slightly, as if she was taking it lightly.

Mu Hongxue is a very porridge parrot, she couldn't help but reach out and grab a handful of peeled melon seeds and send them to the edge of the birdcage, the well-bred parrot really came to eat, she didn't want to peck her delicate palm, she sighed, took a step back, fortunately, Sun Rouning supported her on the back, but her face was more and more happy: "It's really fun!" I don't know where to sell it, so I want to buy one. ”

Concubine Dong took a closer look at the parrot, and saw that it was an ordinary parrot as a pet, so she nodded and said, "If the princess is porridge, next time we will find a way to find one for you." ”

Qiao Siwan watched silently, smiling slightly.

Sun Rouning took a cup of warm tea, smiled at Mu Hongxue, and said, "This kind of parrot is not easy to find, if the princess has porridge, just take it away." ”

Mu Hongxue wanted to refuse, seeing that the parrot feathers were shining, and she was in the cage with a bright look, she was a little reluctant, and her eyes couldn't fall in love with the parrot, so she said softly: "So...... Not good. ”

Concubine Dong said in her heart that it was just a parrot, so what was the big deal, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "Since it's porridge, let's keep it." ”

On the table on the side, an egg-white Ru kiln plate made of agate glaze is as smooth as a pile of fat, and it contains all kinds of snacks. Mu Hongxue couldn't help but take the pastry to feed the parrots, Concubine Dong paid attention to investigating Sun Rouning and Qiao Siwan's demeanor, and saw that their faces were indifferent, so she was relieved.

Parrots can't eat this powdered pastry, if a little negligence can be fatal, if there is a mystery behind the parrot, they will definitely not care, look at their minds, is it really a temporary puff to bring the parrot back, it is a parrot, and it can't turn over the flowers. Concubine Dong nodded and slowly put her mind at ease. He stopped, "This isn't what parrots eat!" ”

Mu Hongxue stopped the movements of her hand and looked back at everyone: "Then what does it eat?" ”

Sun Rouning shook her head helplessly: "I don't know about this, I have to ask the person who raises the parrot, and I will send the person to the Furong Pavilion when I turn around." ”

Seeing Concubine Dong's cautious appearance, Qiao Siwan covered her lips with a silk handkerchief embroidered with orchids, and the elegant tassel swayed on her lips, only then did she force back the smile.

This parrot is indeed acting on its own, because the owner of this parrot is Qiao Siyuan, Siyuan later left home to join the army, Qiao Siwan handed over the parrot to others to take care of, at this time...... Naturally, it will be of some use, no matter how much Concubine Dong questions, it is useless, she is not afraid that others will catch the sore spot if she dares to do it, Qiao Siwan's eyes suppressed a deep ridicule, but it did not come up.

Mu Hongxue's face seemed to have two blushes, like a watery rouge blurring on rice paper, and said with a slight smile: "Then there will be more concubines." ”

Sun Rouning nodded with a smile, only looking at Mu Hongxue in fascination, looking at it, the smile on the corner of her lips disappeared.

At this moment, she heard the lid of the teacup in Qiao Siwan's hand ring, and she said softly: "It's time for me to come back, princess, you can sit with Niangniang again." ”

When Sun Rouning heard this, she looked at the sky outside and said, "Yes, I should come back too." ”

These two people left, but Mu Hongxue was not very beautiful and intended to leave immediately, so she said that she wanted to sit with Concubine Dong again, Qiao Siwan listened to it in her ears, and she didn't care, she stood up and left with Sun Rouning.

The parrot, intentionally or unintentionally, was left in the house.

Concubine Dong saw Qiao Siwan and Sun Rouning leaving one after another, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly: "Princess, why do you always want to leave the Yan Palace?" Your mother's intentions, don't you really see it? ”

Mu Hongxue's body trembled, and she seemed to be a little embarrassed and said, "Niangniang, the queen mother wants me to be ...... from the prince and the king of Mingjun I don't want to do this, and King Ming has a deep affection for the princess, he won't cook me. His face was flushed.

Concubine Dong turned around suddenly, and a cold light like frost flashed between her eyebrows: "No porridge......"

Talking about such a topic, Mu Hongxue's head was lowered to her chest, and her voice was like a mosquito fly: "Yes!" ”

Concubine Dong bent the corners of her mouth coldly, and there was a hint of mockery between her eyebrows: "There is another man in this world who is not the number one woman in the porridge universe!" ”

The first woman in the universe, there is another Gao Changguo behind her, who would be stupid enough to refuse such a merit, Jiang Chi is a dazzling man, isn't he aware of this? At this time, she was worried about Qiao Siwan, Concubine Dong couldn't help but laugh when she thought about it.

Mu Hongxue stretched out her hand, gently stroked the parrot's feathers, and said slowly: "Princess Mingjun is a valuable and kind person, although she doesn't like to talk, but I think she is not an extremely cold person. ”

Concubine Dong looked at Mu Hongxue's expression even colder, and she glanced at the nearby maid ring sharply: "Hurry up and help the princess come back to rest!" ”

Mu Hongxue stood up, entrusted someone to carry the parrot's birdcage for her, and led her to say goodbye.

Concubine Dong was expressionless, sitting there quietly, the corner of her eyes swept over the slippery mirror-like green bricks in front of the kang, and the sunlight outside the window was full of fine fragments of light, which were projected on it from time to time.

"Niangniang, the slave has already inquired clearly." Yahuan Xianglian on the side replied in a low voice: "According to your entrustment, the slave and maid carefully investigated the situation after the princess came to the Great Li Dynasty. ”

"Oh", Concubine Dong showed a funny expression.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very indifferent to her, although some advisers have asked the prince to marry as soon as possible, but the prince still has no news, this time the princess was injured, and the prince has not come to visit."

Concubine Dong's eyes were cold: "It's coming, sooner or later." ”

Xiang Lian smiled very solemnly and said, "The slave maid thinks that the prince is just afraid that he doesn't want to marry Princess Xiangxue." And this princess is also very strange, and has never been close to the crown prince. ”

Concubine Dong sneered, Gao Chang's real purpose in sending Mu Hongxue here was to make the relationship between the prince and Jiang Chi, let them start a dispute, and make profits from it, but this Mu Hongxue didn't act for a long time, what kind of intention is it? How could Empress Gaochang send such a person? Could it be that Princess Xiangxue doesn't trust herself, so she expounds so ordinary?
