Chapter 209: Confession

Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan stayed in the Yihua Palace and had lunch with Emperor Liu before leaving.

Duan Shaolan still protected Xiao Xuan's waist with one hand and accompanied her out.

But as soon as her feet stepped out of the gate of Yihua Palace, she suddenly turned around and saw that Emperor Liu, who had just said that she was going to rest, was standing outside the door of the main hall and looking at her from afar.

Xiao Xuan couldn't control her emotions all of a sudden, and tears the size of beans rolled down all of a sudden.

Emperor Liu nodded at them, and then turned back.

"Okay, stop crying." Duan Shaolan gently wiped away the tears on Xiao Xuan's cheeks and whispered comfort. "It's not that I can't see you again, when the two days are empty, I'll accompany you into the palace to visit the concubine?"

Duan Shaolan knew the rules of raising princes and princesses in the palace, and the princes were still raised by their biological mothers when they were young, but they had to move out when they reached the age of enlightenment. This is the rule of the Jokhang royal family for generations, in order to prevent the prince's biological mother from spoiling her children too much.

This is not the case with the princesses, who stay with their biological mothers until they get married. After more than ten years of getting along day and night, he suddenly got married, and no one could give up Rao.

Xiao Xuan still had a pool of tears in his eyes, and raised his head to look at Duan Shaolan.

"Well, don't cry." Duan Shaolan looked at Xiao Xuan's eyes slightly red, looking pitiful and cute, and his heart had already softened. "Let's go home."

"Okay." Xiao Xuan nodded obediently, let Duan Shaolan hold her hand, and continued to walk out with her.

Green Forest, who was following them, covered his mouth and laughed a few times.

"Look, the princess listens to the colt." Lu Lin covered his mouth, bumped into the orange next to him and whispered.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Dan Tang heard this and quickly glared at her. "Beware of me hitting you in the mouth."

Lu Lin was glared at by Dan Tangerine, and he honestly stopped talking. There's no way, speaking of which is the same age as Dan Tang, but since the two of them were assigned to serve Xiao Xuan together, Dan Tang can always control her.

After waiting for Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan to return to the mansion, Suihong, who stayed in the mansion, greeted her.

"Princess, the parrot brother next to Princess Nan'an is here."

Duan Shaolan went to his study in the front yard, and after Xiao Xuan returned to the backyard, Sui Hong led the parrot who had been waiting for a while to Xiao Xuan.

"The slave has seen the princess." Brother Parrot leaned over and saluted Xiao Xuan.

"Okay, get up." Xiao Xuan asked her to get up and speak. "Big sister, do you have anything to say to me? I heard that my sister in the house was sick yesterday, is my sister feeling better now? ”

"Back to the princess, my sister accidentally caught a cold, and yesterday I invited the imperial doctor to the house to treat my sister, and my sister is fine. It's just that my sister fell ill suddenly yesterday, and our princess really couldn't let go of her sister, so she was absent from the princess's wedding. "Brother Parrot got up and told me about yesterday's events." Yesterday was your big day, and our princess was helplessly absent, and I felt a little guilty in my heart. But today I couldn't get out, so I had to ask the slave to come over and give an apology. ”

Xiao Xuan got married yesterday, and Xiao Lu was absent. After Xiao Xuan arrived at her princess's mansion, Princess Wen of Qin told her the reason for Xiao Lu's absence. It turned out that Xiao Lu's sister was seriously ill yesterday, Xiao Lu really couldn't rest assured, and only stayed in the house to take care of her daughter, so she was absent from Xiao Xuan's wedding.

"Since the eldest sister was absent from my wedding for the sake of my sister's body, I think it's okay, my sister's body is the most important thing." Xiao Xuan ordered someone to accept the gift. "I'm going back to the Zhenguo Mansion with the horse tomorrow to recognize my relatives, I wonder if the eldest sister will pass?"

"As long as my sister's illness doesn't recur today, our princess will definitely go back tomorrow."

"Okay, then you can go back and serve the big sister."

Suihong did not accompany Xiao Xuan back to the palace today to ask for peace, but stayed in the mansion to sort out all the congratulatory gifts sent into the mansion yesterday. Because she was going back to the Zhenguo Mansion tomorrow to recognize her relatives, although Xiao Xuan brought back the gifts prepared for her by Emperor Chu from the palace, Xiao Xuan was also ready to choose some more gifts to bring over tomorrow.

After dinner, Sui Hong sorted out yesterday's gift list and brought it to Xiao Xuan.

The gift list is long, and Xiao Xuan just looked at it. Sui Hong knew that Xiao Xuan was going to choose the recognition gift to take to the Zhenguo Mansion tomorrow, so she selected some gifts according to Xiao Xuan's general description and pointed them out to Xiao Xuan.

"Well, you've made all the right choices." After listening to Suihong's choice, Xiao Xuan folded the gift slip in his hand with great satisfaction and handed it back to Suihong. "Just follow what you have chosen, load the car tonight, and follow me to the Zhenguo Mansion early tomorrow morning."

Sui Hong took the gift list handed over by Xiao Xuan with both hands.

"Yes, Princess."

After washing, Xiao Xuan sat on the bed in a daze.

"What are you thinking?" Duan Shaolan, who had washed up, came over and asked her with a smile.

"Nothing." Xiao Xuan saw him coming, and when he looked up, a smile immediately appeared on his face. "My father said today that he would arrange for you to join the military department when your marriage leave is over, what do you think?"

Duan Shaolan re-covered the quilt that had slipped off Xiao Xuan's body for her, his arms stretched out, and Xiao Xuan naturally leaned into his arms.

"Your Majesty's plan has his own reasons, and besides, Your Majesty is also for you and me. The status of Lord Liu in the Banner Guard is unshakable, he was born in the eldest princess of eternal life, and he is your cousin. Duan Shaolan said. For both public and private purposes, it is my best plan to leave the pennant guard and enter the military department. ”

"If you think it's good, it's fine." Xiao Xuan was relieved. "Let's go to bed early, we have to wake up early tomorrow."

"Well, let's sleep." Duan Shaolan pressed Xiao Xuan to lie down. "Don't worry, I won't move you tonight, let's sleep well."

Duan Shaolan smiled and said that Xiao Xuan's cheeks couldn't help but feel hot, so he had to shyly pull the quilt on his body to cover his reddened cheeks.

"Don't do that, beware of bad breathing." Duan Shaolan chuckled, pulled Xiao Xuan's raised quilt down again, and said. "Sleep."

Xiao Xuan nodded, resting his head on Duan Shaolan's arm. The warmth of his body and the fresh aroma of plants and trees caused Xiao Xuan to be tired, and he fell asleep after a while.

Duan Shaolan looked down at her sleeping face, and the corners of his mouth were raised. He pulled her into his arms again, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Xiao Xuan, who had slept all night, woke up refreshed, and when she got up, Duan Shaolan was already dressed.

"Why do you wake up so early every day?" Xiao Xuan rubbed his eyes and asked him. "Aren't you sleepy?"

"The time is always uncertain, and I have been used to waking up early for many years." Duan Shaolan smiled. "Now that you're awake, get up and wash up, the carriage is ready, and we're waiting for you to get up."

"Okay."

Because of Xiao Xuan's identity, she and Duan Shaolan returned home to recognize their relatives, just like Xiao Lu got married and came back to recognize her relatives.

Everyone was waiting at the gate, including Zhen Guogong.

Xiao Xuan was from a noble background, and the two honorable positions in the main hall were left for her and Xiao Lu to sit on. The daughters of the Zhenguo Mansion who were married all came back with their families, and even the youngest generation in the mansion were brought over, and the main hall was very lively for a while.

Because Xiao Xuan is Duan Shaolan's wife, today Duan Shaolan's mother-in-law, Lord Duansu, stepped forward to introduce Xiao Xuan to everyone in the house.

Although most of the people in the Zhenguo Mansion Xiao Xuan knew each other, the formalities that should be taken still had to be taken, and the county lord of Duansu introduced them to her one by one.

"Today I came back to recognize my relatives, and I also prepared some small gifts for everyone." Xiao Xuan waved to the door, and Lu Lin and Dan Tang took the gifts with the maids and distributed them to everyone according to the prior arrangement.

The gift of Zhenguo Gong was an ancient sword, or Emperor Chu reluctantly cut his love.

Zhen Guogong wants to like these, so he is naturally a knowledgeable person. took the ancient sword in his hand, weighed it, and compared it to the light of the sword, his eyes lit up.

"I wonder if my grandfather still likes it?" Xiao Xuan asked with a smile. "I asked for this ancient sword from my father, and I knew that my grandfather had always liked these in his life, so he deliberately used it to please my grandfather."

Where would Zhen Guogong not like it, he was so happy that he stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

Xiao Xuan turned to look at Xiao Lu who was sitting beside him, Xiao Lu came back with Duan Shaoyou and her sister today. Duan Shaoyou and Duan Shaolan sat together, and the sister sat in Xiao Lu's arms.

"I look much better at my sister's complexion." Xiao Xuan took the initiative to tease the sister in Xiao Lu's arms, she has always liked the children, and she made the sister laugh crisply.

"Well, the doctor is dedicated, and my sister was fine yesterday." Xiao Lu looked down at her sister and Xiao Xuan frolicking. "I should have personally said sorry to you when I saw you today, the day before yesterday was your big day, I should have gone to the house to congratulate me, but I had no choice but to meet my sister's sudden illness."

"What did the eldest sister say, compared to my business, my sister's body is the most important." Xiao Xuan smiled and held her sister's little hand. "In a few days, when the house is empty, the eldest sister will take my sister to my house to sit down and talk to me. I'm really a little unaccustomed to leaving the palace like this, and I feel that the princess's mansion is not as lively as the palace, and it's a little deserted. ”

"Okay, when you are free, I will post to me, and I will definitely take my sister to your house as a guest." Xiao Lu immediately agreed. "It's just that my sister is a little naughty, so don't think she's noisy when the time comes,"

"No, no, I like this kind of kid the most. It's better to be noisy, so that my house can be more lively. Xiao Xuan waved his hand again and again. That big sister must remember to come, I will definitely give a good post to the big sister when the time comes. ”

"Well, as long as your post comes." Xiao Lu said. "I'll be there."
