On the second day of the first month of each month, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lu have to go to Zhaoyang Palace to greet the queen.

At this time, Dan Tang had already recovered from his injury, and he and Lu Lin both followed Xiao Xuan to Zhaoyang Palace, but they met Xiao Lu who came with a parrot and a mandarin duck in front of the palace gate of Zhaoyang Palace.

"Hello sister." Xiao Xuan took the initiative to say hello with a smile on her face.

"Hello sister." Xiao Lu also smiled and returned the salute.

The two walked into the Zhaoyang Palace side by side, and Jinxiu got the news that the chamberlain guarding the door handed in, and led people to welcome the two princesses into the side hall to wait for the queen to summon them.

The queen is not in good health, and the summer is especially hard for her.

So after she summoned Xiao Lu and Xiao Xuan in, she simply said a few words and let the two of them leave.

"My sister has always felt that summer is difficult in the past, and her complexion is very bad every summer." Yihua Palace and Yuxiu Palace are exactly two similar directions, Xiao Xuan was about to take someone away, but Xiao Lu suddenly stopped her. "But now is the hottest time, but I see that my sister's complexion is very good, is it not that my sister has encountered something good, so people are in good spirits at happy events."

"However, my mother urged me to go to bed early and get up early, and the ice in Yihua Palace is also sufficient this year, so I have rested well, and my complexion is naturally much better." Xiao Xuan listened to Xiao Lu's words, rolled his eyes, and then covered his mouth and replied with a low smile. "But I look at my sister's complexion is much worse, I heard that Concubine Chen has recently begun to teach my sister embroidery, and my father also received a sister's embroidered purse, and my father also praised my sister's embroidery skills, and I don't know anything."

"It's just a few days and nights, and it's nothing." Xiao Lu said. "Yuxiu Palace is not comparable to Yihua Palace, when the ice is about to run out, I have to find other work to distract some energy."

"Fortunately, my father said that because the heat is particularly heavy this year, the day to go to the palace to escape the summer will be advanced for a while this year." Xiao Xuan staggered Xiao Lu's body and said with a smile. "But sister, don't stay up late, stay up too late and ruin your appearance is secondary, don't break your body."

After that, seeing that Xiao Lu's face suddenly changed, Xiao Xuan stopped talking, and left straight after bowing slightly at her.

"Princess." has been carefully paying attention to the green forest behind him, and said to Xiao Xuan. "The eldest princess just left in a rage."

"Let her be." When Xiao Xuan heard this, he stopped and looked back, Xiao Lu had indeed disappeared. "I thought she had eaten some chops over the years, and she should always learn to be smart, but in the end it was still like this. Thinking that he has got my handle, he can't wait to take my words. ”

"It seems that when the slave accompanied the princess out of the palace that day, the familiar palace maid I saw in the distance at the side door was indeed the parrot brother next to the eldest princess." On the day Xiao Xuan and Lu Lin sneaked out of the palace, Brother Parrot thought that she had hid in time, but she didn't know that Lu Lin had excellent eyesight, and before Brother Parrot found Xiao Xuan, Green Forest had already recognized Brother Parrot. "Brother Parrot seems to have told the eldest princess the news of the princess's departure from the palace, the eldest princess has always been at odds with the princess, will she spread the news that the princess ran out of the palace? When the queen knows about this again, maybe she will take the opportunity to punish the princess and the imperial concubine. ”

"My father has already erased the record of me leaving the palace with a sign that day, and my mother also asked the imperial doctor who diagnoses my pulse on weekdays to prove that I was just suffering from some heat that day, and I rested early." Xiao Xuan's eyes darkened, and he said indifferently. "No matter how clever my sister is, she will never be without this weight. This kind of innocuous thing, most of my father will face me, why should she be bored with herself, make a mean appearance and come out to please her father's disgust. ”

"But the eldest princess can't say anything about people." Dan Tang persuaded Xiao Xuan not to quarrel with Xiao Lu again. "The princess had better not quarrel with her in any senseless way."

"Okay, for the sake of Dan Tang's face, as long as my sister doesn't come to provoke me, I naturally won't take the initiative to provoke her." Because of himself, he was beaten by Dantang, and Xiao Xuan still felt a little guilty about Dantang.

Xiao Lu returned to Yuxiu Palace, and she returned to her dormitory with a fire in her belly, and it was inevitable that she would be angry again, and she smashed a bunch of things in the hall by herself.

Mandarin duck and parrot, who knew the reason for Xiao Lu's delivery, had to take people to guard the door tremblingly, waiting for Xiao Lu to finish venting before daring to go in and clean up the mess.

But today I don't know what kind of evil wind is blowing, Xiao Lu is still smashing the vase inside with the door closed, and Concubine Chen actually brought someone to find it.

"I've seen Concubine Chen." Brother Parrot and Mandarin Duck glanced at each other, so they had to step forward to salute Concubine Chen, and they also deliberately raised their voices, hoping that Xiao Lu inside could hear it.

At this time, a heavy object smashed on the door of the temple, making a dull sound.

"Get out of the way!" Rao is Concubine Chen, and she also heard what was wrong in it, and shouted loudly.

"Mother forgiveness." Concubine Chen's temperament is weak, and the subordinates in Yuxiu Palace have always been generous, and it is rare to have such a fierce appearance, Brother Parrot and Mandarin Duck were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and said again and again. "Concubine Chen's forgiveness, I think the princess accidentally touched something when she was resting in the palace."

"It seems that I am really too generous to you normally, and I am really stupid!" In fact, it is also a coincidence, Concubine Chen is too lazy to take care of the accounts on weekdays, and today is also boring, and it seems that she has wasted time with the account books of the utensils in the Yuxiu Palace Treasury, only to find that the various furnishings and utensils in Xiao Lu's bedroom have to be replaced every once in a while, far exceeding the normal replacement frequency of such objects. "Where is her bed, and when she is resting, she can still hold something and smash it to the temple gate!"

At this time, I saw that the people around Xiao Lu were guarding outside the palace gate, only blocking her way, and Concubine Chen was even more angry.

"Someone!" Concubine Chen rarely gets angry, but after all, she is a concubine with a concubine position in the palace, and she has been on the throne for a long time to get angry so suddenly, which is even more intimidating. "Drag them all out of the way!"

The palace maids and chamberlains behind Concubine Chen received orders one after another, and they were divided into two groups of people, one group dragged away Brother Parrot, Mandarin Duck and others, and the other group of people stepped forward and knocked open the palace door.

Xiao Lu in the hall was angry, and just smashed a jar, and the sound just covered the warning sound of the mandarin duck, waiting for her to react, she looked at the mess in the place, and had to wait for the temple door to be knocked open, she stood in the middle of the fragments, and looked at Concubine Chen standing outside the temple gate.

"Go and invite the princess to my palace." Concubine Chen was so angry at this time, but she still didn't forget to think about Xiao Lu. "The remaining few people will take care of the people around the princess first, and then clean up the princess's dormitory, and order someone to open the warehouse and make up for it immediately if they are missing."

took Xiao Lu back to her palace, and Concubine Chen, who sat down, looked at Xiao Lu with a stubborn face, and all the momentum in her body was dispersed at once.

"I don't know what kind of wrongs I caused in my last life." Concubine Chen skillfully took out the handkerchief she was carrying, and cried and wiped her tears. "It's easy that your father has changed his opinion of you a little bit these days, you are good, do you think that no one will know if you are slamming the door behind closed doors in your palace? If you are unlucky, this matter will reach the ears of your father, so that your father thinks that you have a grudge against him, how can it be good? ”

Concubine Chen cried sincerely, and she didn't know what kind of situation she thought of later, and she cried more and more sadly.

"So what, what if my father's opinion of me has changed recently?" Xiao Lu was full of resentment, and what she said only frightened Concubine Chen, who wanted to fit in, rushed over and blocked her mouth with the handkerchief in her hand. "In the hearts of the left and right fathers, except for the eldest brother, the eldest son of the emperor and Xiao Xuan's daughter, where can anyone else go!"

"Shut up for me." Concubine Chen didn't know how many ears and eyes had been stuffed in the palace, but Concubine Chen herself didn't know, so she immediately stopped Xiao Lu and continued.

"Does the concubine think that if I don't say it, things will change?" Xiao Lu sneered. "Don't forget, concubine, there are two female flag guards in my palace who were sent by my father to look at me, I'm afraid that my father already knows about this. I'm afraid that in my father's heart, instead of going out to find trouble, my daughter might as well make trouble in Yuxiu Palace with the palace door closed. ”

When Concubine Chen heard this, she recalled that in her early years, because Xiao Lu collided with the eldest princess of Yongshou at the queen's birthday banquet, she was punished by Emperor Chu for half a year and confined for more than half a year. After getting out of confinement, he also sent his grandmother and a female flag guard over.

Those grandmothers are very old, and they got the favor of Emperor Chu last year to leave the palace and return home.

But the two female flag guards are still there, but they don't receive work on weekdays, like invisible people, and over time, Concubine Chen forgets the existence of the two of them.

Concubine Chen thought that Emperor Chu might have known about Xiao Lu's venting in Yuxiu Palace for a long time, but she didn't scold or teach, just acquiesced.

Suddenly, his heart sank, and he leaned back on the back of the chair in a gloomy manner.

"Mother, do you think that teaching me to learn from female red, embroidering some purses and handkerchiefs every now and then can please my father?" Xiao Lu looked at Concubine Chen's heart as if she was dead and said. "Father doesn't care about these at all, as long as my daughter doesn't cause trouble. No matter how much I please my father, he will never take me to heart. Look at Xiao Xuan, at the age of fifteen, she had the title of Princess Zhaoyue before she was married. But what about me, I'm going to be twenty, and the marriage is undecided, and I still don't even have a decent title. ”

"Lu'er, your father is not that kind of person." Concubine Chen defended herself. "It's just that he's busy with politics and can't take care of you. It's okay, you still have your mother. In the palace, not only His Majesty can advise you to marry, but our mother and daughter and the queen can rely on it. ”

"Mother, don't be naïve, okay? If the queen really wants to meddle in my marriage, why should I still be married. ”
