Xiao Xu listened to her relaxed tone, and then thought about the two princesses and the family in Prince Gong's mansion, and the excitement of the approaching wedding date was like being poured a scoop of cold water on his head.

"Qingqing, you don't have to pay attention to those people in the future, we have our own courtyard in the palace, my father has a lot of women, and my father is very flowery, those people who are lonely in the house will have nothing to do, you don't like them in the future."

Seeing that Xiao Xu's forehead was sweating, Chu Junlan sneered and laughed: "Okay, I wasn't talking back just now, I do think that the days in the mansion will be much more interesting." Wouldn't it be great that someone could come and practice my hands for recreation? What's more, when I come to the palace in the future, I have to do something for you, you are the eldest son, and there are many people who see you red-eyed, do you still expect to live a dull life? Besides, listening to what you said before, my mother-in-law died violently back then, which is also very strange. ”

It turned out that Chu Junlan seriously said that he wanted to marry him, and he had already calculated all the bumpy days that might be in the future.

This is not the same as the agreement they made at the beginning, she helped him heal, he gave her shelter, but now it seems that he clearly pulled her into the water, outsiders may think that it is a great honor to become the prince's concubine, but only he knows what the situation is in the palace, Chu Junlan is now living a good life in the Maoguo Mansion, marrying him is entering another battlefield without gunpowder.

"Qingqing......" Xiao Xu stretched out his arms, hugged her in his arms, and pecked her faintly fragrant hair at an angle she couldn't see.

Chu Junlan smiled "hehe", and couldn't help but raise his hand to rub a handful of Xiao Xu's long hair scattered behind his back.

Xiao Xu's hair is straight and hard, this is an extremely stubborn person.

Chu Junlan couldn't help but smile.

If he was not stubborn enough, when he learned that his mother died violently and his father might not be his biological father, he would have been unable to live for a long time, and how could he pretend to be stupid and survive in the back house after being poisoned? How can the second poison be found to counterbalance the first?

It's a simple matter, but only he knows how much pain he suffered. But not only did he grow so far, but he also learned so much.

Chu Junlan is now hugging Xiao Xu, like hugging a miracle of qi.

The two hugged each other quietly for a while, and Xiao Xu slowly realized that he was holding warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, and his face turned red, and he was reluctant to push her away, but he was embarrassed to let him find his stiffness, so he could only hide back.

When Chu Junlan saw his movements, he also let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Have you returned to the emperor about Tiandao Mountain?" ”

Hearing her talk about business, she didn't find his embarrassment, Xiao Xu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his robe and sat upright, and said with a straight face: "I want to tell him about this matter after seeing the emperor's uncle, but I am afraid that it will not be clear in the letter, and there will be many misunderstandings." ”

Chu Junlan saw Xiao Xu being so serious, and he also realized the seriousness of the matter.

"The emperor is in the prime of life, why is he so obsessed with finding the way to immortality? And the legend on this Tiandao Mountain is very fake when you hear it, the emperor is so wise that he will believe it? ”

Xiao Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The emperor actually didn't believe in these things at all in the early years, Tiandao Mountain has existed for more than a hundred years, and the emperor used to only think it was a joke." But recently, the emperor has heard a lot of legends of Qi Shenyi, and he is already obsessed with the immortal formula, and the old man of Qi Shenyi here can't find anyone, and when the immortal doctor has no hope, he pins his hope on Tiandao Mountain. ”

Xiao Xu lowered his eyes and thought about it, and then whispered in Chu Junlan's ear: "The emperor began to believe in Tiandao Mountain, or because he used their elixir. Xu is pill has miraculous effects, and the legend on the mountain is very moving, which makes the emperor really moved. ”

Chu Junlan nodded, and said worriedly: "Earlier, the emperor asked me if I was the apprentice of Qi Shenyi, and I said that I was not sure, and I don't know if there is an immortal formula in this world, if the emperor of Daoshan can't rely on it today, he is so persistent, I am afraid that the disappointment will be too great, and it will hurt the body, and you have to persuade the emperor more after you go back." ”

Xiao Xu also frowned worriedly, nodded and said, "I'll be careful." ”

Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu did not delay any longer, and the next morning, the team set off to return to Beijing, although they caught up with the biggest snowstorm of the year, they still arrived in the capital as quickly as possible.

"Let Jingyu send you back to the house, and General You and I will enter the palace to face the saint." Xiao Xu tightened the fur collar of Chu Junlan's cloak.

Chu Junlan smiled and nodded, waved at him while holding the brass hand warmer, then sat back in the carriage and told the driver to set off.

At this time, the capital was already covered in silver. As the carriage moved, the wheels creaked over the snow-covered ground, and occasionally the wind blew through it, and the curtain was lifted a little, and some snow was swept in.

As soon as Xiao Xu entered the city, he had already ordered someone to go to the Maoguo Mansion to report the news, and as soon as Chu Junlan's carriage turned a corner and passed the archway, the door of the Maoguo Mansion, who was wearing a dogskin hat, cheered, turned around and shouted: "Miss Lan is back!" Then the girl came up to meet her.

"Miss Lan!"

"Hey." Chu Junlan lifted the curtain of the car and said with a smile, "It's a cold day, it's hard for you to wait outside for a long time." ”

"Oh, Miss Lan, you can kill the little one, this is all a small duty, please come in, the prince and the prince have sent someone out to ask several times."

The carriage entered the side gate of the Maoguo Mansion all the way, and a servant woman had already prepared a small sedan chair for travel.

But Chu Junlan was impatient to let people carry him, and his steps were faster, so he simply ordered the servants to retreat and go to the Hanging Flower Gate by himself.

As soon as I entered the second gate, a servant woman replied to the "Chunhui Garden".

Chu Junlan smiled and entered the door of Chunhui Garden, and saw Xu wearing a dark green woven gold cotton cloak, standing under the corridor looking forward to it.

As soon as he saw her come back, a happy smile bloomed on Xu's face, and he walked down the steps quickly: "Sister Lan! It's back! ”

"Mother!" Chu Junlan hurriedly went to salute the Xu family, and then hugged the Xu family and didn't want to let go.

"Mother, my daughter misses you so much." After going out for half a month, she experienced the terrible thing of Xiao Xu's disappearance, and now when she returned home, she felt afraid, especially when she saw Xu, the weakness in her heart was no longer hidden, as if a fledgling had returned to the court, burying her face in Xu's shoulder, and tears almost welled up.

Xu smiled and patted Chu Junlan's shoulder: "Silly girl, it's only been half a month since you went out, and you're homesick like this?" How can I get out of the cabinet in the future? ”

Mama Guo and Su Qin were all laughing playfully.

Chu Junlan naturally wouldn't tell the Xu family what happened outside, blinked his long eyelashes, endured his tears, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid to go out of the pavilion, the prince promised that I could come back to live at any time." ”
