Chapter 171: Back to the Door
When the Duansu County Lord said this, Duan Shaolan hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and some Hao Ran smiled at the Duansu County Lord.
"Brother, let's go and talk to the princess sister." Sister Chu, who was dressed ceremoniously today, smiled and grabbed the arm of the Duansu County Lord, and said to Duan Shaolan. "Mother, I will accompany me well, brother, don't worry."
Duan Shaolan slowly walked through the crowd and walked in front of Xiao Xuan's brother and sister.
"Wechen has seen the eldest prince and His Royal Highness the sixth prince." Duan Shaolan greeted Xiao Yu and Xiao Jun brothers, and then solemnly turned to look at Xiao Xuan, who was smiling on the side. "Greet Princess Zhaoyue."
When Xiao Xuan saw Duan Shaolan walking towards her, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
Duan Shaolan opened his mouth, Xiao Yu and Xiao Jun hadn't opened their mouths to respond, Xiao Xuan was already busy speaking.
"How are you doing?" Xiao Xuan looked at Duan Shaolan and asked with great concern. "I heard my father say that you are going to Jiangnan, the situation is very dangerous, you are still injured, I don't know how your injuries are now, whether they have healed?"
"It's just a few minor injuries, Your Majesty gave me leave after I returned to the imperial capital, so that I could recuperate in the mansion, and now most of them have healed."
"That's great." Xiao Xuan suddenly took something out of his sleeve and slammed it into Duan Shaolan's arms, and then turned around and ran away in a panic with Dan Tang and Lu Lin.
Duan Shaolan subconsciously lowered his head and clenched the things handed over by Xiao Xuan, and was about to say something, but when he raised his head, Xiao Xuan had already run away with someone.
"Hahaha, show me what you're holding." Seeing her sister run away embarrassedly, Xiao Jun couldn't help laughing, put her right hand on Duan Shaolan's shoulder, and leaned over to see what Duan Shaolan was holding in his hand.
Xiao Jun and Duan Shaolan have been friends for many years, and there are no big rules for talking and acting with each other.
Duan Shaolan originally wanted to put away the things that Xiao Xuan gave him, but who knew that Xiao Jun's eyes were sharp and his movements were fast, and before he could make a move, Xiao Jun had already seen what he was holding in his hand.
It was a navy blue purse, embroidered with a straight green bamboo, but the stitches were not very dense, and even looked a little messy.
Xiao Jun saw it clearly, and Xiao Yu naturally saw it too.
"Sixth brother, stop messing around, let him put away his things. Don't make fun of Xuan'er's craftsmanship, beware of her annoyance. Xiao Yu looked at Duan Shaolan with a smile and said, and stepped forward to pull Xiao Jun's arm. In the end, Xuan'er's father has not yet made a clear decree to inform the world, so it is better to keep a low profile. ”
Xiao Jun has always listened to what his brother said, and he couldn't help but be a little stupid, but he didn't continue to pull Duan Shaolan anymore.
"Thank you, Great Prince." Duan Shaolan got rid of Xiao Jun's constraints and thanked Xiao Yu.
"Alright, you don't have to be here with us." Xiao Yu grabbed Xiao Jun and said to Duan Shaolan with a smile. "Today is also a big day in the Zhenguo Mansion, presumably there will be many relatives and friends who will come to congratulate you today, just go and be busy."
"Yes." Duan Shaolan carefully hid the purse given to him by Xiao Xuan, and then leaned over slightly, turned around and left.
Princess Nan'an's mansion was lively for a whole day, and it was not until the sun set and the moon rose and the stars filled the sky that the crowd descended and dispersed.
The carriage sent by the palace to take Xiao Xuan back to the palace also arrived at the gate of Princess Nan'an's mansion, and Xiao Yu and Xiao Jun personally helped their sister to board the carriage.
"Don't stay on the road, it's not too early, do you know about going back to the palace soon?" Xiao Xuan got into the carriage, and Xiao Yu was still worried about the curtain by the window and instructed Xiao Xuan a few words.
"Got it, big brother." Xiao Xuan lifted the curtain, poked his head out and said with a smile. "Then I'll go back to the palace, the eldest brother and the sixth brother have drunk a lot of wine today, and you have to be careful on the way home."
"Okay, we all got it." Xiao Yu touched her sister's head, and pushed her head back into the carriage with a gentle push.
On the third day after a folk woman gets married, it is customary to take her newlywed husband back to her parents' home.
Xiao Lu, as a royal princess with golden branches and jade leaves, is inseparable from such a custom.
Early in the morning of the third day of her marriage, she and Duan Shaoyou got up early, changed into the official clothes of the princess and the concubine and got into the carriage.
The first thing Xiao Lu and Duan Shaoyou did when they entered the palace was to go to Emperor Chu and the queen who was her mother-in-law.
After all, Xiao Lu called her a queen mother for many years, coupled with Duan Shaoyou's background, the queen gave them the best decency.
After Emperor Chu listened to what the queen said for a long time, he let Xiao Lu and Duan Shaoyou, who had been kneeling, get up.
"Empress Fang Cai has explained a lot to you, so I will say a few more words." Looking at the pair standing in front of him, the male talent and the female appearance seemed to be extremely compatible, Emperor Chu said with emotion. "Husband and wife are even branches, winged birds, and in the future, honor and disgrace and sorrow are tied together, and you must remember that since you have become husband and wife, you must support each other."
"Alright, alright." The queen interjected. "Since the day Nan'an got married, Concubine Chen has been looking forward to her daughter returning to the palace with her husband. There's nothing going on here, so Nan'an will take the horse to ask Concubine Chen for peace. ”
"Thank you, father, emperor and mother."
Today is the big day for Xiao Xuan to return to the door in the third dynasty, and Mrs. Ding'an Hou responded to Concubine Chen's invitation and entered the palace early in the morning to accompany Concubine Chen.
As soon as Xiao Lu entered the palace gate with the newlywed horse, Concubine Chen had already received the news.
Concubine Chen knew that the first thing her daughter would do when she returned to the palace today was to go to His Majesty and the queen to say goodbye, and wait for that to be over before her daughter could return to Yuxiu Palace.
Concubine Chen couldn't sleep well since last night, barely holding on until the sky gradually brightened, she immediately got up and dressed up, and waited in the main hall of Yuxiu Palace for Xiao Lu's return.
Even if Mrs. Ding'an Hou came over later, Concubine Chen was still a little restless, and frequently stretched her neck to look back and forth, only wishing that her eyes could see through the layers of palace walls at a glance.
"Concubine Chen, please wait." Seeing that she was unsettled, Mrs. Ding'an Hou hurriedly persuaded her. "The horse is from the Zhenguo Mansion, and he is related to the queen's mother, so it is inevitable that the queen will teach something as a mother-in-law, so she naturally has to talk more. Concubine Chen's mother is a little restless, maybe the princess will come back in a while. ”
"Sister-in-law is right." Concubine Chen was excited in her heart and said with some embarrassment. "It's just that I'm really worried about it."
"Concubine Chen, please relax, Princess Nan'an will be sensible since she becomes married." Mrs. Ding'an Hou still gently persuaded Concubine Chen. "The horse is from a very decent background, and in the future, the life of the young couple will only get better and better, and Concubine Chen doesn't have to worry too much."
Concubine Chen was easily persuaded by Mrs. Ding'anhou, and the little chamberlain who was sent to the gate of Yuxiu Palace early in the morning to check the situation hurriedly ran in.
"Tell Concubine Chen, Her Royal Highness the princess and the concubine are back."
When Concubine Chen heard this, she immediately stood up, and when Mrs. Ding'an Hou reacted, Concubine Chen couldn't stop and took a few steps forward.
"Concubine Chen, don't mess with the rules." Mrs. Ding'an Hou hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Chen. "Let's sit down and wait for the princess and the pony to come in."
"Yes, yes, yes." Concubine Chen covered her lips and smiled. "Thanks to my sister-in-law for reminding me."
Concubine Chen stepped back and sat down again, and Mrs. Ding'an Hou saw that she had finally sat down, so she returned to her place and sat down with confidence.
After a while, Xiao Lu's figure appeared in Concubine Chen's field of vision.
Xiao Lu entered the hall and saw Concubine Chen sitting on the main seat, looking at Concubine Chen's face full of concern, Xiao Lu suddenly quickened her pace and walked to Concubine Chen's side, and called her a mother concubine earnestly.
Hearing this, Concubine Chen, whose eyes were already shallow, couldn't control it again, and shed strings of tears.
Xiao Lu took out her handkerchief, and it was easy to persuade Concubine Chen to smile again.
Xiao Lu and Duan Shaoyou stood together and greeted Concubine Chen.
"Good boy, get up quickly," Concubine Chen hurriedly asked them to get up, and asked the palace maids to send all the gifts that had been prepared a long time ago. "These are my wedding gifts to congratulate you, they are not very valuable, they are all good mascots. You two got married late, so you have to have children sooner. ”
In the end, it was still the newlyweds who were tender-faced, Xiao Lu and Duan Shaolan respectfully accepted the things, and both of them blushed and did not answer.
"Concubine Chen, the princess and the concubine have only been married for the third day, and their faces are tender." Mrs. Ding'an Hou stepped forward and joked with a smile. "It's best to let the heir's affairs go naturally, and the mother doesn't need to be too anxious. As long as the relationship between the princess and the colt is good in the future, will you still worry about having no heirs? ”
"Yes, my sister-in-law is very right, I am impatient."
Xiao Lu and Duan Shaoyou accompanied Concubine Chen to talk, and after having lunch in Concubine Chen's palace, they got up to say goodbye.
Concubine Chen looked at Xiao Lu, who was ruddy and smiling, and she was reluctant in her heart, but it was inconvenient to stay.
"Go home." Concubine Chen held Xiao Lu's hand, sent them out of the gate of Yuxiu Palace all the way, and sent them out a long way, and Concubine Chen was still reluctant to let go.
"Mother, you don't have to send us anymore." Xiao Lu said. "The mother must have gotten up early today, it is enough to send us here, the mother concubine should go back and rest."
"Okay, I'm not going to send it out." Only then did Concubine Chen stop. "Let's go, I'll take a look here."
Concubine Chen said this while letting go of Xiao Lu's hand, which she had been holding.
"Don't worry, concubine, I will come to the palace to see you in a while." Xiao Lu's hand was let go, and there was a hint of surprise in her heart, looking at Concubine Chen's face, Xiao Lu couldn't bear to say. "You have to be well in the palace in the future."
"Uh-huh, let's go, let's go." Concubine Chen watched them leave.
