As Xiao Xuan knew, there were now five or six families who were in contact with the Wen family at the same time.

A few months ago, Wen Bai had only completed his three-year filial piety period, and although he was a widower who had lost his wife, he had no heirs with his deceased original partner.

Theoretically speaking, in his case, the family will generally see the remarriage candidate he wants to see either a high-ranking concubine or a small concubine.

can't stand Wen Bai's good background, he has a younger sister who is the crown princess, and he has no heirs and he has a good appearance.

At the funeral of the Duke of Zhenguo before, Xiao Xuan also learned from Xiao Yayun, Sister Chu's husband, that now even a little county lord in the Xianwang Mansion has targeted Wen Bai.

There is also Xiao Xuan's second aunt Ouyang's niece, who also entrusted the Ouyang family to leave the relationship with Emperor Liu's concubine, and is now exploring the Wen family's style.

Not to mention the other ladies who have gone to talk to the crown princess through various in-laws, the East Palace has been crowded in the past few months.

Xiao Xuan thought in his heart, and carefully looked at Xiao Lu's face.

"Can I ask my big sister?" Xiao Xuan thought for a while and asked. "How did Big Sister and Master Wen meet?"

Xiao Lu listened to Xiao Xuan's question and raised her eyes to look at her.

"Big sister, if you don't want to talk about it, just do it." Xiao Xuan waved his hand again and again and said.

"There's nothing that can't be said, in fact, when I took Sister Rou to the East Palace to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year this year, Sister Rou almost fell into the lake, and it happened that he happened to enter the palace to save Sister Rou." Xiao Lu talked about her acquaintance with Wen Bai, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly. "He accidentally fell into the water and got sick because he saved Sister Rou'er, and I took Sister Rou to his house to thank him. Sister Rou didn't know why she was very close to him, and she became familiar with this coming-and-going. ”

"Then I listen to the meaning of the eldest sister Fang Cai, and it is not unintentional to Lord Wen." Xiao Xuan asked Xiao Lu tentatively. "No matter how hot Lord Wen is, the eldest sister is the eldest daughter of her father, and she is a perfect match for him. If the eldest sister is really intentional, Lord Wen is now also filial piety, and the eldest sister can take a step forward. ”

"I'm afraid that the people of the Wen family may not look down on me, and they may not be willing to let him be my second colt." Xiao Lu said this, and said in a low voice. "What kind of family the Wen family is, you and I both know it, otherwise my father and the imperial concubine would not have chosen for a long time, and finally chose the Wen family's concubine as the crown princess. Since the Wen family has already produced a crown princess, they may not be willing to take me, a princess, into their eyes. ”

The crown princess Wen's maiden family, the British Mansion, is indeed prominent, and all generations of descendants have children who have married with the clan. In terms of influence in Dazhao, it is not inferior to the Zhenguo Mansion and the Liguo Mansion.

And Zhenguo Gongfu Zhenguo Gong died not long ago, and Li Guogong has been extremely low-key in recent years because of Xiao Jin's previous affairs.

"Big sister, don't be presumptuous." Xiao Xuan listened to Xiao Lu's words, and saw her rare deflated appearance, so she couldn't help but persuade her. "The door of the British Mansion is indeed high, but in our Dazhao, who can still be as high as our Xiao family? If the eldest sister really likes it, and is embarrassed to open her mouth, it is better for me to come forward for the eldest sister and go directly to Lingyun Hall to ask my father for the next marriage. ”

After saying that, Xiao Xuan stood up suddenly, and looked at the roar that was about to go out.

Xiao Lu hurriedly got up and grabbed her.

"Why are you so angry now?" Xiao Lu sat down with Xiao Xuan and said. "Don't you know what happened to me in the past? When I reached the age of marriage, who was the first candidate I valued for the colt, haven't you forgotten? ”

Xiao Lu suddenly mentioned the old thing, and Xiao Xuan couldn't help but be stunned.

Yes, when Xiao Lu's love first opened, the person she fell in love with was Xiao Xuan's cousin Liu Changjun.

At that time, Xiao Lu was notorious and had a bad relationship with Xiao Xuan all the year round, so she naturally wouldn't please Liu Changjun's grandmother, Princess Yongshou.

The Liu family is not an ordinary family, in addition to the eldest princess of Yongshou, there are also Liu Huang Guifei and Princess Mu. With the family background of the Liu family, there is no need to rely on Princess Shang to add glory to the family, not to mention that if it is not because of the inappropriate age, even if the Liu family really wants to marry a princess for Liu Changjun, Xiao Xuan from Emperor Liu's concubine is more suitable than Xiao Lu.

Emperor Chu also respects the elder princess of Yongshou very much, even if he wants to fulfill Xiao Lu, it is impossible to force the Liu family to admit this family business.

In the end, the Liu family even quickly set a family affair for Liu Changjun as a reason for refusing to give marriage.

The twisted melon is not sweet, everyone knows this truth, no matter how noisy Xiao Lu is at that time, it is impossible for Emperor Chu to agree to marriage.

Later, Xiao Lu was punished for hurting Xiao Xuan, so Shaohua was delayed, and in the end, the queen came forward and asked to marry Xiao Lu for her nephew Duan Shaoyou.

Xiao Xuan couldn't help but recall that Duan Shaoyou at that time could also be regarded as an extremely outstanding young man in the imperial capital. His background and appearance are also among the best in the imperial capital, and he is not insulting Xiao Lu as a concubine.

Xiao Lu soon had Sister Rou after marriage, and whenever Xiao Xuan saw their family of three, she always looked like a husband and wife were in harmony and happy, but she didn't expect Duan Shaoyou to make such a thing in the end.

"Things were very different back then than they are now." Xiao Xuan knows that Xiao Lu is no longer the cynical she used to be, and since giving birth to Sister Rou, she seems to have changed.

Except for Duan Shaoyou, who almost raised his sword to kill Duan Shaoyou, who was with the maid, Xiao Lu rarely had any emotions to leak out.

"My cousin did already have a heart at that time, and when the eldest sister found his father to propose marriage, the marriage between him and his cousin-in-law had actually been contracted." Xiao Xuan said very matter-of-factly. "The relationship between the eldest sister and me at that time should also know that my grandmother would not agree to my cousin being your colt at all. With my grandmother's status, even if my father has the heart to fulfill it, it is not good to really hold the will of marriage to suppress my grandmother and the Liu family. ”

"Well, you don't have to explain those old things." Xiao Lu shook her head and said. "I've figured it out a long time ago."

"Big sister, Sister Rou will be at an age where you can talk about marriage in a few years." Xiao Xuan held Xiao Lu's hand with his backhand and encouraged her. "Big sister should take a step forward."

"But ......."

"It's nothing, I just ask if the eldest sister and Lord Wen are really in love?" Xiao Xuan stared firmly into Xiao Lu's eyes and asked. "I still say the same thing, if it is inconvenient for the big sister to come forward, I am willing to come forward to plan for the big sister. Now the father and the concubine hope that the eldest sister can marry a caring person again. ”

"Xuan'er." Xiao Xuan's words, Xiao Lu's eyes couldn't help but redden, and soon tears accumulated in her eyes. "Actually, he told me about this today, he said that he didn't want to see those boudoir ladies arranged for him by his parents, he wanted to be my concubine, and accompany me and Sister Rou for a long time in the future."

Xiao Lu said as she spoke, and her tears couldn't be stopped any longer.

Xiao Lu didn't talk to anyone about it, in fact, not long ago, Wen Bai's mother and the crown princess had made an appointment to meet Xiao Lu when they learned that Wen Bai was in private with her.

Wen Bai's mother and the crown princess spoke very obscurely, Xiao Lu's reputation has been very different over the years, and she and Sister Rou are very much loved by Emperor Chu. Naturally, they can't pick on the things they don't like about Wen Bai and Xiao Lu's dealings, but they just deduce that Wen Bai is widowed and remarried, and he is not worthy of her.

No matter how Xiao Lu has restrained her temper over the years, the arrogance and nobility of the royal family are deeply imprinted in her bones.

But perhaps because he and Wen Bai really had a true relationship, Xiao Lu did not retort at the first time, but was cowardly in his heart.

It's just that as soon as Xiao Lu burst into tears, Xiao Xuan's mind sorted out the general situation almost instantly.

"Big sister, isn't it the Wen-husband-man or the crown princess who told you something?" Xiao Xuan reacted and immediately asked. "Don't the Wen family approve of this marriage?"

"They're not stupid, and even if they don't approve of my relationship with Winber, they can't be too straightforward." Xiao Lu shook her head and smiled bitterly. "The crown princess specially invited me to the East Palace, and persuaded me with Wen-husband-people, saying that Wen Bai was widowed and remarried, and he was not worthy of me, the princess of Nan'an. But they didn't seem to be able to persuade Wynber to give up, so they wanted to talk to me. ”

"Really?!" Xiao Xuan said in shock. "Didn't the big sister say anything to them?"

"What can I say?" Xiao Lu sighed. "Don't say -Wen-husband-person-, it's the crown princess, no matter how you say it's my eldest sister-in-law, what can I say?"

"Big sister, might as well listen to me?" Xiao Xuan took Xiao Lu's hand and said solemnly. "To be honest, the crown princess is my sister-in-law, and my eldest sister is also my half-sister. The concerns of the crown princess and the princess and the husband and the people, the eldest sister must know it. But does the big sister really want to reject a person who really likes you and is willing to treat Sister Rou as her own for them? ”

"But they are his blood relatives after all." Xiao Lu's heart was still uncertain. "I can't ......."

"Nothing?" Xiao Xuan grabbed Xiao Lu's arm tightly at this time and pulled her to get up together. "Come on, dress up for your princess, get the carriage ready, we will enter the palace!"

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Lu was startled and hurriedly asked. "I don't go into the palace."

"No, you must go into the palace with me today!" Seeing that the maids of Princess Nan'an's Mansion could not be called, Xiao Xuan summoned Lu Lin and Dan Tang to come in, and instructed the two of them to take people to open Xiao Lu's wardrobe and makeup box. "There is no princess under my father's knees, and the status of the eldest sister is the same as mine, can people still dislike it in vain?!"

Xiao Xuan pulled Xiao Lu to the dressing table, sat down with Xiao Lu, and took care of Xiao Lu's bun.

"Dantang, come and comb your hair." Xiao Xuan handed Xiao Lu to Dantang, and he beckoned Lu Lin to bring Xiao Lu's jewelry box.
