Chapter 17: Returning Home and Being Humiliated

"Little ghost," Chu Xiaoxiang just said, at this time, Helianchen raised his hand and touched Chu Xiaoxiang's forehead, although he was only five or six years older than Chu Xiaoxiang, Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly found a feeling of being a parent in Helianchen's body.

After breakfast, Chu Xiaoxiang went back to Tai'an Mansion with Helian Chen, with two or three entourages.

It's just that when Chu Xiaoxiang and Helian Chen just walked to the Tai'an Palace, Chu Xiaoxiang was blocked by the guards next to the stone lion at the gate of the Tai'an Palace.

"Bold guard, don't you know me? Miss Ben is back to the door today, no one will stop her! Chu Xiaoxiang was yelling at the guards.

At this time, the guards in front of the Tai'an Palace, but they were stunned, how could they not know Chu Xiaoxiang? It's just that King Tai'an ordered yesterday that no one can enter the palace without permission before the noble concubine Chu Zhiyun enters the palace.

"I'm sorry, please don't embarrass us. We are just following orders, the second lady will enter the palace tomorrow, the lord ordered yesterday, before the second miss enters the palace, no one can enter the palace without permission. ”

When the guard saw Chu Xiaoxiang, his face turned red, and he looked angry but not threatening, so he inadvertently explained.

"Anyone? Including me? Chu Xiaoxiang couldn't help but shake his head, but at this time, Helian Chen on the side suddenly spoke: "Can't you be accommodating?" Today, according to common sense, is the day when the princess returns home. Could it be that the marriage given by the emperor himself can't be counted? ”

"This ...... The lord also emphasized yesterday that if the county lord comes back, let him go back by himself. The lord also said that the county lord is now married, so he is born as a person in Xiangwang's mansion, and died as a ghost in Xiangwang's mansion. In the future, whether you live or die, you don't have to come back. ”

What the? Chu Xiaoxiang looked incredulous, although she was already married, she wouldn't be completely ruthlessly rejected as soon as she walked on her front foot, and her back foot was rejected by a completely ruthless encounter, right?

Stunned and stood for a long time, Chu Xiaoxiang was reluctant to leave.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of laughter from far and near in the courtyard, which sounded very special and particularly attention-grabbing.

Although he looked puzzled, Chu Xiaoxiang wanted to know what kind of person was acting recklessly in the palace of Tai'an Palace.

Even the laughter was marked by obvious arrogance and unscrupulousness.

Sure enough, when she didn't go far, she saw Chu Zhixue walking out of the palace with three scholars.

Also at the moment when she saw Chu Xiaoxiang, Chu Zhixue suddenly had a faint expression on her face.

As if he had long forgotten the scene when he failed to harm Chu Xiaoxiang yesterday, but was caught and embarrassed, even when he saw Chu Xiaoxiang who was blocked from the door, Chu Zhixue's gaze was obviously as cold as a stranger.

"Who is this person? Guards, how can you allow someone to stand in front of the palace and demonstrate like this? ”

As soon as Chu Zhixue turned around, she suddenly said to the guards beside her.

At this time, Chu Xiaoxiang was already so angry that he couldn't speak, Helian Chen frowned, and said to Chu Zhixue: "You won't really forget, she is your own sister." The regent of the day. ”

Although Helian Chen said to Chu Zhixue, at this time, Chu Zhixue turned his head and looked at Helian Chen, but then pursed his lips and said, "Sister? Oh phew, what about the princess regent. I don't have a sister as stupid as her. My sister is the concubine of the current emperor, where did I know someone like her? ”

Chu Zhixue was talking, and suddenly pushed away the guard in front of him, and then went to the street to buy things as if nothing happened.

Seeing Chu Zhixue's back after leaving, Helian Chen suddenly turned around and said to Chu Xiaoxiang with a regretful face: "I'm sorry." It may not be the right time to really go out today, and I blame this king. I only thought that today should be the day when you got married and returned to the door, but I didn't expect that the plan couldn't catch up with the change, so I ran away in vain. ”

Helian Chen was saying that he was about to leave with Chu Xiaoxiang, but at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang shook his head and said to Helian Chen: "No, I didn't run in vain today. ”

As she spoke, she pursed her lips and smiled slightly at Helian Chen.

At least after today, Chu Xiaoxiang finally knows what the cruel truth is.

In the Tai'an Palace, she is just a passerby without any feelings after all.

Since there was no place for her in that home, why should she care.

For the revenge of that family, she doesn't have to care about anything anymore.

Helian Chen was originally a little worried, staring at Chu Xiaoxiang's face, worried that she would go to extremes and do something she couldn't think of because she was rejected.

But when he saw the casual smile on Chu Xiaoxiang's face, Helian Chen was a little relieved, nodded, and said to Chu Xiaoxiang: "What do you want to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." As long as I don't keep it in my heart, otherwise I'll be really worried. ”

Chu Xiaoxiang shook his head and said to Helian Chen, "Can't think of it? No, but I start today, can I have a reluctant request? ”

"Huh? Say. Helian Chen raised his eyebrows, he really didn't know what he could do, but Chu Xiaoxiang couldn't do it and still had to ask him?

Helian Chen's words made Chu Xiaoxiang nod and sighed lightly: "Actually, I want to ask, can you be my relative in the future?" ”

"What's so difficult about this, Lord Yongning. Okay, I promise you. You are not only my woman, but I will also treat you as a relative and give you warmth and care. ”

Chu Xiaoxiang's expression was slightly stunned, but he said to Helian Chen: "Thank you." I already feel it. It's just that it shouldn't be long..."

What do you mean? Helian Chen's eyes actually showed a glimmer of light, and it was obvious that Chu Xiaoxiang's words just now surprised him too much, especially the sentence "It won't be too long."

Helian Chen was suddenly worried, could Chu Xiaoxiang really make any moves?

But at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly put out the "Three Chapters of the Law", which cannot interfere with freedom as a shield.

Although Helian Chen was stunned, he nodded again.

I still couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Chu Xiaoxiang in my heart.

Since he promised her that he could not interfere with her freedom, this did not mean that he could not secretly protect Chu Xiaoxiang.

After all, in such a secluded and far-reaching place as the Xiangwang Mansion, Chu Xiaoxiang didn't just flatter the emperor's order to marry him.

is also the only person in this Xiangwang Mansion who can know the warmth and coldness and can talk to him.

With her, he will feel that he is not alone and lonely.

Just as Helian Chen was thinking in his heart, Chu Xiaoxiang had already thought of it, and broke into the Tai'an Mansion at night, preparing to explore the truth about the murder in the Tai'an Palace.

She can't let the things of the year happen for no reason.

I can't bear to see that the people under the Nine Springs have died like this, even if they die, they will still be wronged, and she Chu Xiaoxiang will never do these things that have lost their conscience.

Thinking of this, the corners of Chu Xiaoxiang's lips hooked slightly, and followed Helianchen back to Xiangwang's Mansion, but today Helianchen suddenly found that this Chu Xiaoxiang looked more well-behaved than usual.

It's just that it's very easy to get distracted, and he kept calling her name several times, and Chu Xiaoxiang came back to his senses and responded to him.

"What's wrong with you? Is it unwell," Helian Chen couldn't help but ask Chu Xiaoxiang with concern.

At this time, Chu Xiaoxiang was finally a little worried, and He Lianchen would be suspicious of himself, so he nodded: "It's a little, maybe I'm too tired these days." It's hot again, and you know it's about to go into the dog days now..."

Chu Xiaoxiang was talking, Helian Chen stared at Chu Xiaoxiang with deep and clear eyes at this time, and said to her: "Yes, seeing that you are okay, this king will be relieved." It's just that you probably have some heat stroke, so I'll ask someone to cook you some white fungus lotus seed soup and bring it to you to drink. What do you think? ”

Chu Xiaoxiang has always hated drinking white fungus lotus seed soup, and instinctively wanted to refuse, but he couldn't bear Helianchen's expression on his face at that moment when he saw her.

"Okay, then drink a little. It's just that I suddenly have something to tell you. Lord Xiang," Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly spoke, calling Helian Chen's name.

Helian Chen suddenly stared at Chu Xiaoxiang, and then raised his voice to her: "Lord Xiang? Don't call me that in the future," Helian Chen shook his head lightly as he spoke.

"Why?" Chu Xiaoxiang looked surprised, but at this time, Helian Chen said to her, "We are all married now, in the future, the county lord, you can call me by my name, call me Helian Chen or even the word He, just call me Lian Chen." ”

"Lian Chen?" Although Chu Xiaoxiang still felt a little unfamiliar with this title, he thought that it didn't matter, just get used to it slowly, so he said, "Okay, Lian Chen Lian Chen." By the way, Lian Chen, I'm not feeling well today and need to rest a little earlier. "So you see, you haven't promised me that although we are married, there are three chapters of the covenant. So we'd better stay in our own rooms tonight. ”

Chu Xiaoxiang was talking, but he had already thought about it in his heart, and the excuse was to rest a little earlier tonight, because he was scheduled for tonight just because he just acted.

Although Helian Chen hesitated slightly, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he did not continue to embarrass Chu Xiaoxiang.

Anyway, Chu Xiaoxiang, her every move, but if he wants to know, she won't hide from his eyes.

So, Helian Chen agreed a little, nodded and said, "Okay, then it's as you wish." Although I am going to be alone tonight, as long as I can do what you want, I feel that all my efforts are worth it..."

Although listening to Helianchen's somewhat sour words, Chu Xiaoxiang felt for a while that Helianchen felt as if he was being treated as an abandoned woman.

But he brushed the corners of his lips and didn't say much, but everything went according to plan.

So after having lunch and dinner in Xiangwang's Mansion, Chu Xiaoxiang began to sleep in his exclusive room early, until in the dead of night, Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly opened his eyes.
