Chapter 380: Practice Feast
The third aunt nodded hurriedly: "Yes, my daughter-in-law doesn't dare." ”
At this time, Chu Hua, Chu Feng, Chu Yang, Chu Yuan, and Chu Zhan also returned.
Chu Hua frowned and said: "I just went to ask, and the father-in-law revealed that this matter was decided by the emperor on a whim, and as for the attendants used by Sister Lan to go up the mountain, the emperor will arrange it in advance, and the others are not allowed to bring it." ”
The old lady ordered someone to bring a few people a pestle, and after everyone sat down, the old lady said, "This matter is a little strange. Other girls also went to the temple to recite scriptures and pray for blessings before leaving the pavilion, so as not to attract the attention of the emperor like our Lan girl. ”
"Xu is Prince Gong's transcendent status and being favored by the emperor?" The third aunt smiled, "This is also a good thing." ”
"It's a pity that I even have my luggage ready." Xu sighed helplessly, "The emperor doesn't allow others to follow, so I can't go, but if I go up the mountain, it's not even good to not even let a handmaid who serves me closely, right?" ”
Chu Hua said: "The emperor really doesn't allow it, so he only lets Sister Lan go by herself." But I listened to the father-in-law's meaning, it seems that he will go to Prince Gong's mansion to pass the decree to the prince later, although I don't know the specific content, but I guess the emperor wants to let Lan girl go with the prince, and the prince wants to escort Sister Lan. ”
In this way, it is really possible.
"It's just unreasonable, isn't it? Before getting married, the old rule was that newlyweds were not allowed to meet. At least not during the time of preparing for the wedding. The old lady said, "Maybe the emperor has other things to tell the prince, but I don't know." ”
Chu Junlan smiled: "No matter what, we just have to obey the order, even if we think about the rest, it's useless." ”
The people who were still frowning were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then smiled with relief: "Isn't it, we are in love." ”
Xu took Chu Junlan's hand and said, "Sister Lan, are you willing to go?" If you don't feel safe, ask your father to help you figure out what to do, or secretly arrange for someone to protect you. The legend of Tiandao Mountain is very mysterious, and it is also said that Tiandao Mountain has become a half-immortal, and they have lived for more than two hundred years. In short, I don't know if it's a Buddha or a Tao on that mountain, and I really don't feel at ease if you want to go. ”
Chu Junlan grabbed Xu's hand and shook it: "Mother, don't worry, I'm a little girl, and the emperor won't harm me, but will arrange someone to protect me, it's okay." ”
At this time, no matter whether Chu Junlan felt that something was wrong or nothing, the holy decree had been issued, and everyone had no other way.
After the family researched, Chu Junlan had no choice but to go back to the room, although the baggage she had packed in advance could still be taken away, Zi Yan had sorted things out in vain.
"The emperor said a word, the slave and maid can't follow you, girl, I don't know what to do with hunger on the mountain, what if you don't get used to it? There is no intimate person around you who knows cold and hot, and the slave is afraid that you will be wronged when you go there. ”
"Look at you, you can hang an oil bottle with a pouting mouth." Chu Junlan pinched Zi Yan's face.
Zi Yan snorted, rubbed her face, couldn't help laughing, and said angrily: "The girl has always played tricks on me." ”
Chu Junlan was happy when he saw Zi Yan, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
While the two were talking, Mama Guo beside the Xu family came to Chu Junlan's room.
"Miss Lan, Madame instructed the slave maid to come and tell you, and someone from Prince Gong's Mansion told you that this time you go to Tiandao Mountain, and the prince will go with you. Tomorrow the emperor will hold a banquet in the palace for you and the prince, and the prince's carriage will come to pick you up tomorrow afternoon. ”
Chu Junlan nodded: "I know, thank you Mama Guo for informing me." ”
When Mama Guo went back, Chu Junlan sat down and thought about the strangeness.
Going out with Xiao Xu, she naturally likes it, but this time the emperor issued a temporary order, which disrupted her plan, not to mention, and arranged for Xiao Xu to go with her.
Remembering that the last time Xiao Xu went to Tiandao Mountain, and in the end, he didn't hear Xiao Xu talk about what they were doing when they went to Tiandao Mountain, Chu Junlan became even more suspicious.
In the afternoon of the next day, the carriage on Prince Gong's mansion really came to the mansion of Maoguo.
The door warmly welcomed Xiao Xu into the mansion, and Xiao Xu went to greet the old lady of the Maoguo Mansion first.
Xu and Ren were talking with the old lady at this time, and when they heard that Xiao Xu was coming, they hurriedly let them in.
The old lady took the lead in getting up and saluting Xiao Xu.
"The old man and the family of the Chu family have seen Prince Gong's son."
"This can't be done" Xiao Xu turned sideways to avoid it, refused to accept this salute, and knelt down and bowed: "Junior Xiao Xu, please say hello to the old lady, and say hello to the two ladies." ”
"Excuse me, excuse me." The old lady's eyebrows and eyes were crooked when she smiled, and the wrinkles on her face showed a piercing arc.
Xiao Xu said with a smile: "Although the time for the farewell banquet is far away, the emperor often calls someone to speak on a whim, because I want to ask the old lady, can I take Sister Lan into the palace first." ”
"The prince is thoughtful, with you and Sister Lan, we can rest assured." The old lady smiled and looked at Xu inquiringly.
Xu is looking Xiao Xu up and down, she has not seen Xiao Xu before, but people are changing, Xiao Xu may have been tempered during this period of time, and the whole person's temperament is much more calm, which makes people feel that they can be trusted.
"What the old lady said," Xu said with a smile, "I'll tell Sister Lan here." ”
Then he got up and saluted, "The boy will leave first." ”
The old lady and the Xu family hurriedly got up and sent each other off: "The son of the world walks slowly." ”
Looking at Xiao Xu's upright back, Xu couldn't help but smile and said: "I think the prince is much calmer than before, both appearance and character are excellent, and the prince can be loved by the emperor, and it seems that his talent is not bad." ”
"Yes," the old lady said with emotion, "Sister Lan'er's original father is unreliable, and the concubine in the family is turned upside down, but that woman can be regarded as doing a good thing and telling Sister Lan such a family matter." ”
Xu smiled and nodded.
Naturally, they had already investigated Chu Junlan's matter, Chu Junlan was suffering from stupor, and being promised by her aunt to Xiao Xu, who was still a fool, was tantamount to selling her. Who would have thought that God had his own arrangements, Chu Junlan was not only cured, but also cured Xiao Xu, these two young people were talented and beautiful, and Xu felt satisfied with this marriage when he thought about it.
When Xu and the old lady went back to the room to chat, Chu Junlan had already come to the door of the mansion.
Xiao Xu stood beside the carriage with his hands in his hands, and when he heard the footsteps and turned around, he saw Chu Junlan wearing a stone blue cloud brocade cloak, no powder, long hair half pulled, and a light little burden and walked quickly.
As soon as Xiao Xu saw her like this, he couldn't help liking it in his heart, and without waiting for Jing Yu to step forward, he walked over first and took over the small burden the size of a slap in her hand.
"What did you bring? Let's get in the car first, it's very cold outside. ”
Chu Junlan smiled and nodded, jumped into the carriage lightly, and now that she was seated, Xiao Xu sat down opposite her.
"This is the medicine I just caught, I have already prepared it, and I think that the pill I gave you earlier is almost finished." As he spoke, he took Xiao Xu's hand, concentrated on his pulse, and his complexion changed: "What's wrong with your body?" Why is the situation getting worse so quickly? ”
Where did Xiao Xu dare to tell Chu Junlan that he was practicing too much? After he was with Chu Junlan, he watched her fall into crisis several times, he was often powerless, he only hated himself for not being strong enough, so he could only work hard in secret, but he didn't think that the two poisons in his body were not allowed.
Xiao Xu was afraid that Chu Junlan would know about this, so he only smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's okay to have you anyway." ”
"Are you going to be a god or not?" Chu Junlan frowned and said, "Let's stop today, when I come back from the palace, I will first re-examine the pulse for you, and this medicine must also be re-configured." ”
Xiao Xu looked at the little burden and nodded helplessly: "So I will work hard for you." ”
"I don't have to work too hard, but you have to listen to me in a hurry, rest more if you can on weekdays, don't do anything with people, if you want to do it, let those people under your command go, and even if you encounter danger, when you have to do it, you don't use internal force, the more internal force you use, the faster your toxic catalysis, can you remember?"
Xiao Xu smiled and nodded: "Remember." ”
"Just remember that no, you have to do it." Chu Junlan wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at him.
Xiao Xu was afraid that Chu Junlan would see the clues, so he nodded seriously and said, "Okay." ”
As he spoke, the carriage had already driven to the palace gate.
The two got out of the car, and their own attendants came forward to guide the two of them. Because it was in the palace and there were many outsiders present, Chu Junlan couldn't preach to Xiao Xu for a while, so he put the matter aside for the time being, and followed Xiao Xu side by side to the Heart Nourishing Palace.
said that it was a practice banquet, but Emperor Jinghong did not arrange too many people to come. seems to know that Chu Junlan is at odds with Concubine Shu and the six princes, and there are also some disagreements with the second prince, only King Qin and the Nine Emperors came today, and as for the concubines, only Ying Guifei and Jade Concubine came.
Nuo Min came to the palace, as soon as she saw Chu Junlan, her cat-like eyes lit up, and her closeness and love were overflowing, she was not very old, and she was born with a cute appearance, so bluntly expressed her thoughts, and she was timid and did not dare to make a request, which made Emperor Jinghong's heart soften all of a sudden.
"That's your sworn sister, and it's also your mother's family, if you want to talk, just go, there are no outsiders today."
Nuo Min's eyes flashed wide, and his smile was extraordinarily sweet: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
After saying that, he left the emperor's side, got off the Danqi and walked quickly towards Chu Junlan.
Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu hurriedly got up and saluted Nuo Min.
Nuo Min accepted her salute, then took her hand and said, "I finally got the opportunity to see you, I miss you very much, but I don't have the opportunity to leave the palace." ”
Chu Junlan took her hand and shook it, smiling as usual, but secretly surprised in his heart.
Because at this time, when they shook their hands, they secretly stuffed a small ball of paper into her palm!
"How is the Jade Concubine Niangniang doing in the palace?" Chu Junlan quietly hid the small paper ball in his sleeve.
"I'm doing well, and the emperor is very good to me."
Nuo Min smiled sweetly, just like a woman who usually saw her mother's family, that natural tone, Emperor Jinghong couldn't help but smile when she heard it, and Concubine Ying lowered her eyes.
