Xiao Xu smiled and saluted: "Princess Cai's words are serious, I rarely rest at home, Princess Cai is here, I naturally want to come to salute and greet." ”

Xiao Xu and Prince Gong's appearances really don't look much similar, especially after Prince Gong is now middle-aged and blessed, plus Xiao Xu may be more similar to his biological mother, and then think about the rumors outside now, no matter how you look, it seems that Xiao Xu's eyebrows and eyes seem to be more like Emperor Jinghong.

When he doesn't speak, he gives people a sense of nobility and coldness, but when he salutes with a smile on his face, it is the affinity that is most likely to win people's good impressions.

Princess Cai's heartbeat accelerated a little, and she realized what her reaction was, so she hurriedly straightened her mind and coughed: "That's it, the son of the world has filial piety." ”

Chu Junlan listened to it and felt awkward for Princess Cai.

After all, Princess Cai is the same age as her, not as old as Xiao Xu, but now she has become Xiao Xu's stepmother.

"I don't know what Princess Cai has to say when she comes?"

Princess Cai got straight to the point: "What I don't like the most is going around in circles, since you asked, I will say it directly." ”

"Princess, please speak."

"I know your thoughts, although I went to have a big fight with the Zhang slut according to your hopes, but I didn't fall for your trick to stand up for you, but I have always lacked such a legitimate reason."

Princess Cai snorted, looking at Chu Junlan's eyes very unkindly: "Everyone is not stupid people, don't think that you have successfully used it, I feel complacent." ”

Chu Junlan almost burst out laughing.

"Yes, I understand what Princess Cai said."

"It's good to understand." Princess Cai originally wanted to give Chu Junlan a good look, after all, it was not a good feeling to be called as a rafter.

But Xiao Xu and Chu Junlan stood here side by side, but she felt that those mean words were a little unspeakable, and she didn't know what was wrong with her, looking at Chu Junlan's eyes that seemed to know everything with a smile, she felt more and more annoyed and resentful.

For the first time, Princess Cai was jealous of Chu Junlan.

At the same age, Chu Junlan can marry a young talent like Xiao Xu, but she can only marry an old man of Prince Gong's age, and even Prince Gong In addition to her, Prince Gong also has a flat wife and more than a dozen other concubines, she competes for favor with those broken flowers and willows every day, and the troubled days seem to have no end.

If there is no comparison, then it is fine. Anyway, behind closed doors, none of the women in this house have a smooth and casual life, even the identity of Concubine Shu, is not a proper step in the palace?

But Chu Junlan's existence proves that she is just unlucky!

Princess Cai's unwillingness and jealousy, for the first time, spread in her heart like wildfire, and the ground here seemed to be hot feet, so she couldn't stay any longer, gave Chu Junlan a fierce look, and walked out quickly.

Chu Junlan was a little funny, and went out with Xiao Xu to send him off.

Looking at Princess Cai's back as she walked away, Chu Junlan grabbed Xiao Xu's arm: "Thanks to you at home today, if you are not here, I will have to be reprimanded by Princess Cai again." Hey, how did I find out that when Princess Cai met you, her words of reprimand would be a little more restrained? ”

Xiao Xu said: "Xu is afraid that his father will know. ”

"Possibly."

Chu Junlan nodded, too lazy to bother with such matters, and continued to make a list with Xiao Xu, and then ordered the people below to purchase it, and arrange the manpower and things for Chu Huating as soon as possible.

Princess Cai returned to the room, but she was really depressed for several days, and once she thought about it in her heart, she couldn't hold it back anymore. jealous of Princess Zhang, jealous of the rest of the concubines with heirs, and even more jealous of Chu Junlan, who was obviously the same age as her, but was stronger than her in everything.

Everything in the Chu family in Shichahai was quickly arranged, Chu Junlan often went to see Xiang Yixin's pulse and adjust the medicinal diet recipe, and Ziyuan and Ziyan at home were busy making small clothes and hats when they had nothing to do. Although Chu Junlan wants to master the middle feed of the palace, it is not difficult for her, and she can toss some medicinal materials to try to restore Xiao Xu's memory when she has nothing to do.

"The princess," Zi Yuan walked into the door quickly, and said on her knees, "Someone came to the palace, saying that it was the Jade Concubine Niangniang who sent you to the palace." ”

Chu Junlan was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Xiao Xu.

Xiao Xu shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of anything happening in the palace." ”

"Xu is Concubine Yu misses home, and no one can communicate with her, so she came to talk to me."

Chu Junlan stood up and stretched, asking Zi Yuan and Zi Yan to help her prepare the clothes to wear in the palace.

I saw Xiao Xu sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, looking up at her.

From her point of view, Xiao Xu showed some childishness, less of those noble and distant feelings, but like a child.

Chu Junlan couldn't help but touch Xiao Xu's face, and said with a smile in his stunned eyes: "Does Xu Xu know obediently at home?" ”

Xiao Xu was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, and he opened his eyes and said, "Don't call it that." ”

"That's not what I call it, you taught me." Chu Junlan happily turned around and went to the back room, where Zi Yuan and Zi Yan served her to change her clothes.

Xiao Xu looked in the direction of the inner room, and some sporadic images faintly appeared in front of him in his mind. His heart throbbed, and he was about to grasp it, but those images dissipated completely.

Xiao Xu couldn't help but get up and walk to the inner room, standing next to the floor-to-ceiling round light mask, looking at Chu Junlan's back in the mirror, frowning and pondering.

Chu Junlan saw Xiao Xu from the Western beauty mirror, but seeing that his brows were tightly locked, his eyes were empty, and his handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, as if he was immersed in some memories, Chu Junlan didn't bother.

After waiting for him to be dressed properly, Chu Junlan instructed Xiao Xu: "Remember to eat the medicinal porridge stewed in the pot before you go out." ”

Xiao Xu suddenly came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Okay, if there is anything in the palace, you can order someone to tell me." ”

"What can it be? It's okay. Chu Junlan patted Xiao Xu on the shoulder, let Zi Yan and Zi Yuan stay at home, and followed the chamberlain into the palace alone.

Xiao Xu didn't leave the house immediately, sat in front of Chu Junlan's makeup, picked up a white hosta, and looked at a budding begonia on the hairpin head in a daze, some pictures flashed in front of him again, but because the flash was too fast, he couldn't catch it no matter how hard he tried.

Chu Junlan rode the carriage all the way to the direction of the palace gate. The wooden wheels crunched against the ground.

The little waiter who came to pick her up was named Xiaoxi, who had only recently gone to serve by Nuo Min's side, and when he saw Chu Junlan respectfully, he was a little afraid and a little curious.

"Xiaoxi, is everything okay with Concubine Yu in the palace?"

"It's all good, the emperor loves Niangniang, and Niangniang is comfortable." Xiaoxi couldn't help but raise her jaw when she talked about Nuo Min's days in the palace.

Chu Junlan smiled, but he didn't think that Nuo Min's days in the palace would be as glamorous as they seemed on the surface.

It's just that "like a person drinking water, he knows his own warmth and coldness".
