Chapter 39: The Future Princess Xiao
Xiao Junluo was in a much happier mood when he heard the front, but her words later made his whole face green.
When everyone heard this explosive news, they were even more surprised, and once again regretted that they should not have stayed to listen to the gossip. It's just that I really didn't expect that King Xiao turned out to be a broken sleeve. No wonder he doesn't like women, many adults want to stuff beautiful women into his house in order to please him, but they are rejected. He didn't even want the beauty that the emperor rewarded him, and the truth turned out to be ...... It's too much to accept. Especially those women who have been in love with King Xiao for a long time, their hearts were broken in an instant.
The gatekeeper was also taken aback, his heart trembled, and he looked at King Xiao carefully.
Xiao Junluo tightened his fists under his sleeves, resisted the urge to strangle this woman to death, and said, "Let her come." "If she is not allowed to come over, I wonder what else this woman can say that will ruin his reputation.
Ignoring someone's cold face of the king of Hades, Xia Xiaoxuan looked at everything in the palace and felt novel. It is worthy of the imperial palace, the splendid palaces, with gold bricks and tiles, magnificent, and really more luxurious and magnificent than Xiao Wangfu.
"Rules."
There were two words around her, and a certain woman remembered that this was Tiansheng's palace, not the current Summer Palace. Hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and looked at him, and behaved obediently. It's just that the corner of her eye peeks from time to time, and she doesn't want to miss the beautiful scenery here, lest Xiaolan ask her what she sees, and she doesn't know when she is asked.
Seeing her curious appearance, the anger in Xiao Junluo's heart gradually dissipated, and was replaced by another complicated feeling. He shouldn't have brought her, and he didn't want to bring her. It's just that the holy order is difficult to disobey, and some things have to be faced sooner or later, so he is very conflicted, and he doesn't know whether he will be happy or sad when he enters the palace this time.
"How do you feel?"
"What do you feel like?" Xia Xiaoxuan looked at him puzzled.
"Do you want to live here forever?" His voice was flat, but there was a faint sadness in his eyes.
Xia Xiaoxuan didn't understand what he meant, but just sneered disapprerovingly, "What's so good here?" It's not a pile of silver yet. Mountains are fake, water is fake, even people are fake. Where is our Panlongzhai with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and pleasant scenery? β
It's all fake here, and people's hearts are even more fake. Because people who are too innocent can't survive here.
Xiao Junluo stretched out his hand and gently shook her, looking at her apologetically, "I'm sorry, Panlong Village is gone, can I accompany you to a Xiao Wangfu?" β
Xia Xiaoxuan was stunned, looking at his good-looking phoenix eyes and looking at her for a moment. This is another olive branch, right? The bait to lure her into falling for it?
"Blue sky and white day, Lang Lang Qiankun, is it really good for you to show your affection in broad daylight?"
A hearty voice came, disturbing the thoughts of the two.
Purple clothes, a pair of peach blossom eyes, full of gossip, hands
With a gilded fan and a smile on his face, it was not the little marquis of the night.
"Is the little marquis's injury healed?" Xiao Junluo's words that sounded like concern actually carried a serious warning.
Ye Ziyu touched his nose boredly and muttered, "Take off your old blessing." β
Xia Xiaoxuan couldn't help laughing, but thinking about how it was because of her that he was beaten, she inevitably felt a little guilty.
"I'm sorry little marquis, you didn't eat the golden carp last time. Next time you come to the palace, how about I invite you to eat braised golden carp? β
When Ye Ziyu heard this, he hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, "No need, I don't dare to eat anymore, and I won't digest it after eating." β
Seeing that he is afraid of this, it seems that it will leave sequelae for the koi. "Forget it, tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you?"
Ye Ziyu thought about it and was about to speak, but he heard someone remind, "Think about it later?" β
"Then I'd better think about it." Xiao Hou Ye secretly swallowed his saliva, it seems that the goods this time are real, he is so nervous, he better be careful. With his understanding of Xiao Junluo, don't look at his usual pure heart and few desires, he doesn't care about anything. But when it comes to really caring about it, he's more serious than anyone else.
The three of them came to the peony garden together, because the queen mother likes peonies, this garden was specially given to the queen mother by the emperor, and the peonies in it were also planted by him. I heard that there are fifty or sixty kinds of peonies here, and what you see when you enter the garden is peonies everywhere, splendid and prosperous. Some flowers are splendid, some are budding, red is unrestrained, the posture is spectacular, the white is pure, and the black is deep...... Purple and red, swaying.
Other flowers have become a foil, only the peony is prosperous, just like the queen mother at this time. Although she hasn't seen her in person yet, she can think of a woman who listens to politics with a curtain down, isn't it just like this peony, graceful and luxurious, the king of flowers in the six palaces.
There have been many famous children in the peony garden, and men and women have gathered in groups of three or five to chat. Seeing them come in, they couldn't help but look over, and the officials of the small rank came to salute King Xiao one by one. However, there are few people who are older than him, except for the regent and the prime minister, there is only the emperor and the queen mother, and even the princess has to salute when she sees him. However, the regent and the prime minister don't seem to be present today, so King Xiao is the only one here.
"Lord Xiao, it's rare to see you come to this kind of event? Why is there Yaxing today? The person who asked the question was an official from the Sixth Ministry, who had already heard the news about King Xiao just now, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the well-dressed woman beside him. I can't help but admire in my heart, what a beautiful and refined woman, this garden full of peonies can't cover her delicate and clear spirit, like a snow lotus blooming on the top of the mountain.
As he asked, everyone's curiosity was also attracted, and one by one they stopped chatting privately and pricked up their ears. In the past, King Xiao rarely participated in this kind of activity, and people like him, who were busy with state affairs all day long, must have felt that this was a waste of time.
I saw King Xiao, who had never been smiling, smiling suddenly, with gentle phoenix eyes, and looking at the woman next to him dotingly, "Invited by the emperor, I just happened to bring the future Princess Xiao to see the world." β
His words were like a depth charge, which was even more unacceptable than hearing him at the palace gate that he had broken sleeves. King Xiao, who has never been moved by women, actually has a fiancΓ©e.
Xia Xiaoxuan also admired this slut a little, this kind of empty talk was just talked about in the palace, and she even went to the palace to talk about it. She's almost going to take it seriously.
Several officials said a few words that were appropriate to the situation, praising them as a natural pair, a pair of land, talented and beautiful. What makes Xia Xiaoxuan even more incomprehensible is that those exaggerated words, alluring the country and the city, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, virtuous and virtuous, and showing off her wisdom, are they really talking about her? She didn't know herself, how did they see it?
It's really boring to face these officialdom entertainments, but you have to pretend to be a lady. You can't talk casually, you can't laugh out loud, you can't make a loud noise.
"Miss Xia, I'm so glad to meet you here."
Xia Xiaoxuan was also very happy to see the visitor, she didn't expect to meet acquaintances here.
"You...... You, you, ......" Why can't you remember her name for a while?
"I'm Yinyin, huh? You don't remember me? "The woman is twenty-eight years old, wearing a goose yellow brocade, with a slightly powdered appearance that is delicate and moving, slim and elegant, and smiles at her gently.
"Yinyin, I remembered it. I'm glad I met you here, I'm bored. Xia Xiaoxuan stepped forward and took her hand affectionately, she didn't expect to meet her here, the girl who was rescued by her in the basement with Luo Qingwen.
The two already had a tacit understanding in the basement, and when they met here, it was even more like a familiar thing.
Xia Xiaoxuan thought that most of all the daughters would be as pampered and arrogant as Qingwen, or they would be delicate and shy and cowardly. But Yin Yin was not, she was very generous to hold her hand, and the eyes that looked at Xiao Junluo were not as obsessed as other women.
"Lord Wang, can I take Miss Xia over there to play? Anyway, you men talk about things, and it's not convenient for us women to be here. β
Xia Xiaoxuan nodded hurriedly, she had long wanted to leave.
Xiao Junluo glanced at Zhu Yinyin and bowed his head with reassurance, "Then please ask Miss Zhu to help me take care of Xuan'er, she entered the palace for the first time and didn't know much about the environment in the palace." β
Zhu Yinyin smiled without being surprised, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Miss Xia." β
Leaving the sight of those men, Xia Xiaoxuan felt that even the air was fresh. Led by Zhu Yinyin, he sat down at another stone table. Surrounded by flowers and fragrant grass, the smell is really intoxicating.
"Thank you Yinyin, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to get out? You don't know the curious eyes of those people, almost trying to drill a hole in me, I just hate it. β
