"What? The pony you chose for Lu'er is your own nephew?! ”

Emperor Chu asked Wu Chuan to invite the queen to his study, and after hearing the queen say that the candidate for Xiao Lu was actually the third son of the prince of Zhenguo, Emperor Chu couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter? Do you think there is something wrong with the selection of concubines? The queen raised her hand to cover her lips slightly in a pretended gesture and exclaimed softly. The concubine thought that the eldest princess was the eldest daughter of His Majesty, and the choice of the concubine could not be ignored. ”

The queen looked at Emperor Chu's expression, and then continued.

"There are really not many children in the imperial capital whose identity and age can match the eldest princess, and those widowers and concubines who have a flawed reputation or have lost their wives must not be selected to abuse the eldest princess. It just so happens that there is a third child among the concubines and sisters-in-law's biological sons who have not yet decided to come in, and His Majesty has seen that child. ”

Emperor Chu tried to recall that a few years ago, he had seen several children of the prince of Zhenguo. The boy seemed to be quiet, and he had a bit of a bookish air in him compared to his brothers who were born or born.

Such a person who likes to read books and has a quiet temperament, Emperor Chu thinks that he is really a match for Xiao Lu.

The empress sat on the side, watching Emperor Chu's expression gradually relax.

"Your Majesty, how?" The empress smiled and said to Emperor Chu. "Although the eldest princess is not the biological daughter of the concubine, the concubine is her mother-in-law anyway, and it is very difficult to see that she is over twenty years old and has not yet decided on the concubine."

"Hey~~" Emperor Chu said with relief. "Okay, let's do as the queen has ordered. I can send a message to the Ministry of Industry to build the princess's mansion for Lu'er in the imperial capital. ”

After a few more days, Xiao Xuan got up early in the morning, and Dan Tang led the palace maids in to serve her to wash.

Dan Tang stepped forward to roll up the green gauze tent in front of the bed, and Xiao Xuan in the bed was covered with green silk, rubbing his eyes ignorantly.

"Princess." Dan Tang saw Xiao Xuan looking up at her, and suddenly exclaimed. "Princess, the scabs on your face have fallen off!"

"What?!" Xiao Xuan, who was still so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes, listened to Dan Tangerine's exclamation, and his sleepiness immediately dispersed, his eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly beckoned them to hand over the scope. "Bring me the mirror."

Dan Tang and the other palace maids naturally saw it clearly, but they just smiled and didn't speak, and found the target lens that they put on the dressing table and put their hands in front of Xiao Xuan.

Maybe it was because she was still a little apprehensive in her heart, the target was really sent to her, but Xiao Xuan hesitated and didn't dare to take it for a while.

After taking a few deep breaths, Xiao Xuan took the target mirror in her hand and slowly put it in front of her, moving the direction of the mirror almost inch by inch, her face gradually appeared in the target mirror, and finally her whole face was reflected in the mirror surface of the target lens.

She hadn't looked closely at the injured half of her face, and the skin on the other side of her face was still flawless, almost identical to the uninjured half.

Xiao Xuan looked at himself in the mirror, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

"Princess, can you rest assured now?" Dan Tang smiled and stepped forward to quip. "The imperial concubine ordered us to call the princess to get up early yesterday, the princess should hurry up and put down the scope, and let the slaves and maids wait for you to wash and change clothes."

Xiao Xuan, as a fifteen-year-old girl, how could she not worry about the scars on her face these days. It's just that in front of Emperor Liu's concubine, or Sister Chu, who comes to visit her every day, she has a tight face, and she is always unwilling to show her anxiety on her face.

Now the ugly scab that has been entrenched on the face for many days has finally fallen off, and the healed skin has not left the slightest scar, and because of the careful maintenance of the jade skin Lu given by Emperor Chu, it is a little fairer and more transparent than the complexion before the injury.

Xiao Xuan's heart for many days can be regarded as over, and naturally her mood is much better.

In order to surprise Concubine Liu, after changing clothes and makeup, Dan Tang was originally going to take the veil that Xiao Xuan was still carrying yesterday and wash it.

"Wait, don't panic and take it down." Xiao Xuan called out to Dan Tang and motioned for her to hand over the veil to her. "Give me the veil."

Dan Tang listened to Xiao Xuan's words, and looked at the veil in his hand with some confusion.

"Isn't the wound on the princess's face completely healed?" Dan Tang was puzzled, but still obediently stepped forward and handed the veil to Xiao Xuan.

"It's fine." Xiao Xuan took the veil and stood in front of the dressing table to put it back on. "Let's go, let's go see the concubine."

Concubine Liu Huang had already freshened up and dressed up, and Suihong brought someone over the breakfast of her mother and daughter.

"Mother." As soon as Concubine Liu Huang sat down at the table, she heard Xiao Xuan's voice outside the house.

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Xuan, who was wearing an emerald green dark cloud pattern dress, stepped into the room.

Emperor Liu's concubine followed the prestige, and when she saw that Xiao Xuan, who came in with Dan Tangerine, Green Forest and others, still had that veil on her face, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart.

The imperial doctor said that Xiao Xuan would not leave a scar, and repeatedly instructed that after Xiao Xuan's wound scabbed, he must not use his hands to remove the scab, and wait for the skin under the scab to heal, and the scab will naturally fall off before the injury can be considered healed.

But now, almost a month has passed, and the scab on Xiao Xuan's face has not fallen off. Concubine Liu Huang was also worried in her heart, but her face was never shown in front of Xiao Xuan, for fear of making Xiao Xuan impatient, and if Xiao Xuan couldn't bear to buckle the scab herself, it would not be good to really leave a scar.

Xiao Xuan looked at the gloomy look that flashed on Emperor Liu's face for a moment, and almost couldn't help laughing, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. Fortunately, the veil covered most of her face, so she didn't show her stuffing.

"Mother." Xiao Xuan stepped forward and sat down beside Emperor Liu's concubine, and said in a low voice. "Mother, my face itched so hard last night that I scratched it a few times without holding back, and when I got up this morning, the scab fell off a little, but it was bleeding."

"What?" After hearing this, Emperor Liu's concubine suddenly changed her expression. "Didn't I tell you a thousand times, when the wound heals, it will inevitably be a little itchy, so you must hold back and don't scratch indiscriminately?"

"I didn't mean to, Princess." Xiao Xuan blinked, tears gradually appeared in her eyes, and she looked at Emperor Liu Guifei pitifully and said. "At that time, I was half asleep and half awake, so I couldn't hold back."

"Don't cry, don't let tears marinate your wounds." Concubine Liu Huang looked at Xiao Xuan as if she was pitiful, and helplessly reached out to remove the veil on Xiao Xuan's face, preparing to take a look at the situation first and then send someone to find a doctor to think about whether there was a way to remedy it in time for Xiao Xuan. "Don't move, let the concubine look at your wounds first."

Xiao Xuan put her hands on her knees, and obediently removed the veil from her face by Emperor Liu.

Emperor Liu's heart was hanging, and the movements of her hands were also light and light, for fear that an instability in her hand would aggravate Xiao Xuan's injury.

But when the veil fell, Emperor Liu didn't see the remnants of the scab shell, nor the residual bloodstains, but only a piece of skin as white as jade.

"You kid." Concubine Liu Huang was so frightened that she almost didn't catch her breath, and scolded, scolding and smashing the veil off her hand on Xiao Xuan. "Early in the morning, you came to me to find my pleasure with this matter, and you want to beg for a fight, don't you?"

Concubine Liu couldn't help but laugh as she spoke. After all, there was no scar on her daughter's face, and she was relieved.

"Mother, I just wanted to surprise you." Xiao Xuan handed the veil to the orange beside him, took the initiative to get up, brought the porridge to the concubine of Emperor Liu, and said very attentively. "That's why I thought that this surprise would be the most surprising if the mother revealed it herself."

"I'm still surprised, your mother was almost scared to death by you." Concubine Liu stroked her chest, glanced at Xiao Xuan and said. "I saw that your injuries were just right, and you were angry again."

"I'm naturally in a better mood when I'm injured." Xiao Xuan continued to diligently hand the tableware to Concubine Liuhuang and said with a smile. "By the way, the mother concubine specially instructed Dan Tang yesterday to call me up earlier, is there something wrong?"

"Yes, the queen is going to return to the imperial capital in advance to handle the marriage of the eldest princess." Emperor Liu replied. "We're going to see them off."

"There is a ready-made system for the princess's wedding, and besides, isn't this matter all handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion to do?"

"That was the old days, it's the end of July now, and you know what your father means. The eldest princess is preparing to leave the palace and get married in the spring of next year. Time is really tight, and your father is still angry and unwilling to return to the imperial capital in advance. Emperor Liu said. But there must be someone who can speak to go back to the imperial capital to preside over all things, the wedding dress, the site selection and construction of the eldest princess's mansion, everything is very anxious. However, Concubine Chen has been so sick since that day that she has returned to her own yard that she can't get up, and the future eldest princess is the queen's nephew, so the queen naturally wants to rush back to preside over the overall situation. ”

"Oh, I see." Xiao Xuan nodded when he heard this.

"Got it, let's eat quickly." Concubine Liu Huang gave Xiao Xuan a dish and urged her. "Hurry up and finish eating, we may be in a hurry to see off the queen."

"Mm-hmm," Xiao Xuan nodded repeatedly.

Emperor Liu took Xiao Xuan and led the other concubines to send the queen's car and drove away from the palace slowly.

Xiao Xuan stood beside Concubine Liuhuang and looked at the crowd behind her, but sure enough, she couldn't see Concubine Chen and Xiao Lu.

The county lord of Duansu also led Sister Chu to see off the queen early in the morning, and after the concubines who came gradually dispersed, the county lord of Duansu led Sister Chu to come forward and talk to Emperor Liu'er and Xiao Xuan.

Now that there is no one else on the side, Sister Chu said happily.

"The wound on the princess's face is healed."
