Chapter 152: Loosen your mouth
Xiao Xuan was anxious to sit with Emperor Chu, hugged his arms and said that he wanted to leave the palace and live in the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou for a few days.
"Xuan'er, you are fifteen years old, and you will get married in two years." Emperor Chu said with a smile. "Can't you honestly accompany your father and your mother in the palace? It's so good out there, you think about it all the time. ”
"Father, I'll only go out for two or three days and come back, okay?" Xiao Xuan and Emperor Chu discussed. "My grandmother is very old, and she really needs my caring and lovely granddaughter to accompany her."
"I think your grandmother has enough great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters to accompany her."
At present, the four grandchildren under the knee of the eldest princess of Yongshou have all married and had children, because the eldest princess of Yongshou and Liu Juma are still alive, so the Liu family has never been separated. A large family lives in the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou, and every day is lively.
"Father, is it okay to just go one day?" Xiao Xuan and Emperor Chu bargained. "I'll definitely come back to the palace in a day."
"Okay, it's just a day for you to say it yourself." Emperor Chu immediately agreed. "Don't cheat, stay a day and come back, you know?"
Wu Chuan lowered his head and stood aside, watching Xiao Xuan and Emperor Chu laugh and frolic. Of all the children under Emperor Chu's knees, only Princess Zhaoyue can be so close to Emperor Chu, more like a father and daughter in an ordinary family.
On the second day, Emperor Liu's concubine got up and freshened up, and then sent someone to Xiao Xuan's palace to call her over.
"Niangniang, the person who replied said that Her Royal Highness the princess took the orange and yellow grapefruit around her early in the morning, as well as the Cheng orange of that day, and went out of the palace." Suihong listened to the words from the head of the people. "It is said that with the permission of His Majesty, I want to go to the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou to live for a day."
"Look, and I'll know what she's going to come up with." Concubine Liu Huang was playing with a hosta in her hand. "I secretly hid a little girl of unknown origin, and she still knew some of the severity, so she didn't directly tell His Majesty about this matter. Her grandmother couldn't be more spoiled by her, and she must have wanted to send the little girl to her grandmother's house and beg her to take her in. ”
"Isn't that just right?" Sui Hong smiled and said to Emperor Liu. Niangniang didn't have to take the child's life, but thinking that the child's origin was unknown and it would be a little troublesome to put it in the palace, the princess sent her to the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou. Doesn't it relieve the mother's worries? ”
Xiao Xuan arrived at the princess's mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou, and the road was unimpeded. She has been to the eldest princess's mansion many times, and she doesn't need others to guide her, so she took people to trot all the way to the courtyard where the eldest princess of Yongshou lived. When she arrived, the porter who had come to tell the news would also arrive.
"Grandmother! Grandmother! Xiao Xuan ran into the courtyard and shouted loudly.
The eldest princess of Yongshou, who was sitting in the house, heard the movement in the courtyard and hurriedly asked people to help her out.
"Xuan'er?" The eldest princess of Yongshou walked to the door to take a look, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Xuan standing in the courtyard smiling at her. "Why did you run out of the palace all of a sudden?"
"Grandmother, Xuan'er misses you." Xiao Xuan saw that the eldest princess of Yongshou had appeared, and quickly stepped forward to support her, and said very sweetly. "Xuan'er specially begged her father yesterday, saying that she would come out of the palace to live in her grandmother's house for a day and accompany her grandmother. Just in case my grandmother has so many Yuxue's lovely great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters, the favorite person in my heart will not be me. ”
Seeing Xiao Xuan step forward, the maid who was still supporting the eldest princess of Yongshou stepped back again and again, leaving the position just now to Xiao Xuan.
"How so?" The eldest princess of Yongshou said with a smile. "My grandmother loves you the most. If you can stay today, you can live in your grandmother's yard and talk to your grandmother at night. ”
"yes, okay." Xiao Xuan helped the eldest princess of Yongshou to walk into the house. "Grandmother, I'll help you back into the house."
Waiting for Xiao Xuan to help the eldest princess of Yongshou into the house, Dan Tang hurriedly followed, signaled Huang Yu to take the Cheng Cheng orange in his hand, and followed him in.
Xiao Xuan accompanied the eldest princess of Yongshou and laughed for a while, the eldest princess of Yongshou stroked the handle of the chair, and her eyes gently crossed the body of several palace maids who followed Xiao Xuan out of the palace today. For example, Dan Tang, Yue Zi, Huang Yu and others who have been serving by Xiao Xuan's side, the eldest princess of Yongshou all recognize them. However, there was a little palace maid standing next to Huang Yu, who looked like she was only seven or eight years old, but she was eye-catching.
"Grandmother, her name is Cheng Cheng." Xiao Xuan saw that the eldest princess of Yongshou looked over, and hurriedly introduced her. "It hasn't been long since they came to me."
"Oh, really?" The eldest princess of Yongshou glanced at Xiao Xuan, and she turned her head a little embarrassed. "No wonder I look at her, you rarely use such a young palace maid around you?"
The palace maids around Xiao Xuan, in addition to Dan Tang and Lu Lin, are children specially selected by Emperor Liu's concubine from the Internal Affairs Office, Dan Tang and Lu Lin have an innocent family background, and they are similar in age to Xiao Xuan, and they were specially selected to grow up with Xiao Xuan. In the future, if they don't have anything wrong, they will marry out of the palace when Xiao Xuan marries and leaves the palace.
The two of them, who grew up with their masters, are not bad in the future because they have both affection and decency with their masters. If you're lucky, you might be able to be an official's wife.
Other palace maids like Huang Yu and Yuezi were trained by the Internal Affairs Office to serve in the palaces after they were ten years old.
Most of the little palace maids of Chengcheng's age should still be trained in the internal affairs office, and they should not be assigned to serve by Xiao Xuan's side.
The eldest princess of Yongshou has seen all the personnel in her life, and she can see at a glance that Chengcheng is wrong.
"Well, I just came to serve you?" The eldest princess of Yongshou looked at Xiao Xuan's reaction again, and confirmed that something was wrong with Cheng Cheng. "Come, little girl, come to me."
Huang Yu listened to the words of the eldest princess of Yongshou and immediately looked at Xiao Xuan. Xiao Xuan nodded at her slightly, and Huang Yu slowly let go of the hand holding Cheng Cheng.
Cheng Cheng obediently stepped forward and stood in front of the eldest princess of Yongshou and Xiao Xuan, she had never seen the eldest princess of Yongshou, but she knew Xiao Xuan.
Seeing Xiao Xuan smiling at her, she tilted her head and smiled at Xiao Xuan.
"Grandmother, Cheng Cheng can't speak." Xiao Xuan's body tilted in the direction where the eldest princess of Yongshou was sitting, and took advantage of the situation to hug the arm of the eldest princess of Yongshou, and she was coquettish. "She did just come to my side to serve, but it wasn't the Ministry of Internal Affairs who gave her to me, it was the last time you had your birthday, I picked her up in the palace and returned to Yihua Palace."
"Oh, tell me about you." The eldest princess of eternal life said. "I think it's really Your Majesty who has spoiled you, the rules in the palace are strict, and not everyone can take them in. Do you know where she came from? Do you dare to take her to Yihua Palace? ”
"Back to my grandmother's words, I don't know where she came from, she was cut out of her tongue, she was illiterate, she couldn't speak, she couldn't write, I wanted to send someone to check, but I didn't have a clue for the time being. I can only hide her in my own palace first, who knew that when I left the palace yesterday, she was discovered by the concubine. My mother was so angry that she was so angry with me. ”
"Of course your mother wants to be angry with you, such a big child still does what she wants. Usually inconsequential little things, grandmother was not biased towards you at any time. The smile on the eldest princess of Yongshou all retracted, and she looked at Xiao Xuan and said solemnly. The one in Zhaoyang Palace doesn't know, can you still not know? From the day your mother entered the palace, her eyes were eager to pierce your Yihua Palace. I look forward to your mother's misstep every day, so that she can grasp the handle. ”
Xiao Xuan was lowered by the eldest princess of Yongshou, and the eldest princess of Yongshou looked at her small appearance, and couldn't help but soften her heart.
"And what are you going to do next?" The eldest princess of Yongshou shook her head and asked Xiao Xuan. "Your mother must have let you deal with her own ideas, yesterday's incident, you brought this little girl to my house today, it seems that you have thought of a solution?"
"My grandmother is wise." Xiao Xuan flattered his hands and looked at the eldest princess of Yongshou flatteringly and said. "I thought that the palace would be strictly checked, and I would be in charge of the princess's mansion in the future, and it would be easy to add a little palace maid. However, I don't know when the princess's mansion will be built, but my mother only gave me five days to think about the placement of Cheng Cheng. I really had no choice but to bring her with me. May I ask my grandmother to have mercy on me, to help me, and to take her in for a while? ”
Xiao Xuan clasped his hands together, blinked a pair of eyes, and looked at the eldest princess of Yongshou with watery eyes.
The eldest princess of Yongshou only glanced at her, then ignored her and turned her head away, looking at Cheng Cheng, who was suddenly a little helpless. Cheng Cheng has never been trained, and she doesn't know how to hide when she meets a noble person like the eldest princess of Yongshou, and when she sees the eldest princess of Yongshou looking at her, she also stares at the eldest princess of Yongshou in a daze.
Although there are no rules, he is just an illiterate little mute, and his eyes are clear, not like he is hiding something.
After a while, the eldest princess of Yongshou already had a plan in her heart.
"Okay, let's stay first." The eldest princess of Yongshou spoke. "But I don't have any extra manpower in my house to take care of her, so you have to leave someone to take care of her. If she causes something in my house, I'll get her out at once, you know? ”
Hearing that the eldest princess of Yongshou loosened her mouth and agreed to take in Cheng Chengcheng, Xiao Xuan was so happy that she almost jumped up, just like Feng Lunyin.
