"I just didn't think of it for a while." The old lady stiffened her neck and argued.

Chu Junlan nodded, picked up the white porcelain bowl, twisted the bowl lid with his bare hands, and lowered his eyes to see that the tea soup in the bowl was light brown, with a layer of tea stalks and tea foam floating on it.

This is also the tea that the palace can bring to entertain guests?

Chu Junlan is not a picky person, and he also knows that Xiao Xu's status in this mansion is not high, and he doesn't expect the people in the palace to be more polite to them.

Who would have thought that the palace would not even pay attention to the most basic hospitality.

Chu Junlan put down the tea bowl, supported himself with one hand, closed his eyes and recuperated in peace, carefully considered the conditions of Xiao Xu, Ye Yijian and Chu Huating in his heart, secretly thought about how to treat it next, and then analyzed Yuan Kanghu's case.

The old lady and the Zhou family became more and more restless.

"Mother," Zhou lowered his voice and said in the old lady's ear, "What do the people of this palace mean!" Sister Lan will be the one who wants to be the princess in the future, why don't they respect it? ”

The old lady was disgraced, and she was not very happy in her heart, and mockingly looked at Chu Junlan, who closed her eyes and did not say a word.

"Some people are like bullies at home, but when they go out, they become soft-footed cats, and people bully her grandmother and aunt without saying a word."

Chu Junlan sat lazily and reclined, ignoring the old lady's words.

Zhou glanced at Chu Junlan and muttered in a low voice: "It's just a nest of bad seeds." ”

Chu Junlan's posture remained unchanged, and he said without arguing: "You are not bad, you can make a scene in the palace, just messing up the marriage, I don't have to marry a fool." ”

The old lady and Zhou were choked and had nothing to say, and closed their mouths together with purple faces.

The three of them waited for a pot of Gao Mozu that gradually cooled until the afternoon, but no one paid attention to it, and waited for a stick of incense before a sad little girl came to renew their tea.

The old lady reprimanded: "What's the matter with you! To see or not to see! If you don't see us, you can go! ”

"Let's go!"

The little girl pushed the teapot to the table, "The house has invited the heavenly master to catch ghosts, and the princess and Mrs. Ru are busy, where do you have the heart to come to see you?" I don't know how to hand over the post first! There are no rules. With that, he threw up his sleeves and left.

The old lady and the Zhou family were already angry: "How can this be reasonable, it is too much to deceive people!" ”

Chu Junlan was still in that posture, as if he had already settled, but he lightly tapped his slender fingers on his long legs.

Not long after, a terrible scream suddenly came from the courtyard.

"Hell! Ghosts!! There's a ghost!! ”

The scream was particularly terrifying, and it came suddenly, and the heart of the person was trembling, and the old lady and the Zhou family were frightened, and they hid behind the chair with a pale face.

Chu Junlan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the courtyard, only to see a "female ghost" with long hair in white clothes and a long white skirt, "floating" behind an old woman wearing a dark green gown.

The old woman screamed and stumbled forward, but she was so frightened that she didn't obey the call, and her movements were extremely embarrassing. The "female ghost" floated behind her not far away, and the old mother who followed her walked through the front yard and went straight to the direction of the moon gate.

Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows, and chased after him in a flash.

"Hey! What are you doing, you dead girl! Look for death! The old lady slapped the table angrily.

Zhou grabbed the old lady's arm and dragged it back: "Mother! Leave her alone! ”

There was a mess in the palace, a yellow-robed Taoist danced in the courtyard with a peachwood sword, and there were maids and maids who put their hands together and prayed repeatedly, and even more frightened subordinates crashed into a ball and fell into a piece.

Several richly dressed women came out of the crowd and chased after them with the support of the maid.

Chu Junlan watched the "female ghost" chase the old mother into a remote corner of the palace and went straight to the door of "Jingxuan". She raised an eyebrow and flew in with light, tiptoe steps.

Who knows, as soon as I entered the door, I didn't see the shadow of the female ghost, but only saw the old mother sitting on the ground.

There was a rush of footsteps in the courtyard, and someone shouted, "Here, right here!" ”

Chu Junlan was just about to turn back, but was suddenly caught off guard by a big hand and caught into the screen.

Chu Junlan's expression was awe-inspiring, and as soon as the silver needle on his fingertips turned around, he stabbed it, and the crescent white figure of the other party came into view, skillfully defusing her attack, holding her wrists with both arms, and pressing her against the wall behind the screen.

A deep voice was in my ears: "It's me, silence." ”

Chu Junlan's breathing was slightly short, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Xu, raised his eyebrows playfully, his eyes turned brightly, and his smile was bright: "The prince returned the 'wall dong' to me this time?" ”

Xiao Xu didn't know why: "What is 'Bidong'?" ”

Chu Junlan moved his wrist.

Xiao Xu immediately recalled the day they first met, he couldn't even beat the little woman in front of him, and he couldn't fight back when she was forced against the wall.

His face flushed, and he let go of his hand.

Outside the screen, there was a female ghost's cry: "Why do you want to kill me, why do you want to kill me......"

"It wasn't me, I didn't do it! Get out of here, you get out of here! ”

Then a group of noblewomen rushed in and shouted, "The ghost is here!" Guru! Guru! ”

Chu Junlan looked out from the gap in the screen, but still didn't see the figure of the "female ghost".

I saw the old mother running around the house alone, grabbing her messy hair as if she was crazy, and screaming: "It's not me who kills you, it's not me!" If you want revenge, go ***, Miss asked me to do it! It's not me—"

Outside the screen, all the noblewomen and maids all looked at the middle-aged beauty in the red brocade gown.

"Miss, save me, Miss!" The old mother rushed forward and hugged the big legs of the beautiful woman, "It was clear that you asked me to give the Xu family a ...... back then."

"Shut up!" Princess Gongding's face was gloomy, "Mama Zhang, this is a crazy demon, don't take it down for treatment!" ”

"Yes!" Immediately, two stout mothers-in-law stepped forward, covered Mama Zhang's mouth and dragged the person down.

A beautiful young woman wearing a peacock blue dress sighed: "Mama Zhang is your grandmother, why doesn't that female ghost look for someone else, but come to Mama Zhang?" ”

"That's right, princess, tell me, is the Xu family that Mama Zhang just talked about, is it the original Princess Xu?"

"It must be her, Mama Zhang said that you asked her to give Princess Xu something?"

A few beautiful young women, you say a word to me.

Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Xu, and whispered in his ear: "What you have been busy with recently, this is done?" ”

Xiao Xu pursed his lips and bowed.

"Isn't it time to start doing that for us?"

Xiao Xu said suspiciously: "What? ”

"How about I show up for you? My grandmother and I have been hanging out for most of the day, and if we go back like this, I'm afraid my reputation will be completely ruined. ”

Xiao Xu immediately understood, and said with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry." ”

"There's nothing to be sorry about. Let's settle it. ”

"What......" Xiao Xu didn't finish speaking, he felt a little numb in several places on his body, and then his body collapsed to the ground as soon as he became weak.

Everyone's attention was on the princess and a few beautiful concubines.

Chu Junlan quietly blended into the back of the crowd and pointed to a pair of feet sticking out of the screen: "Ah! There are dead people! ”
