After Xiao Xuan sat down, seeing that Duan Shaolan was about to let go and retreat, he quickly grabbed Duan Shaolan's arm.

"Princess?" Duan Shaolan subconsciously wanted to break away from Xiao Xuan's hand, but looking at her slender, fair wrist, he was afraid of hurting her.

"Okay, then I'll just ask you now, what is the reason why you haven't discussed marriage yet?" Xiao Xuan saw that he didn't break free of her hand, and hurriedly asked him. "Do you already have a sweetheart?"

"Back to the princess, the ministers haven't discussed marriage yet, it's just because they can't be high or low." Duan Shaolan avoided Xiao Xuan's gaze, turned his head sideways and whispered. "The minister doesn't have a favorite person yet."

"I've got you, that's enough." Xiao Xuan laughed and said loudly. "You don't have a crush and you haven't married yet, you don't like me now, I'll try my best to make you like me in the future."

"Her Royal Highness the princess is just the right youth, why waste time on the minister." Duan Shaolan looked at Xiao Xuan's black and white eyes, and looked at her eyes flashing again.

In fact, after Duan Shaolan was sixteen years old, the county lord of Duansu began to look at the marriage for him.

Nowadays, there is no big defense between unmarried men and women in Dazhao, and when men and women look at marriage, as long as they are more enlightened, they will always think of ways to let both parties meet. If you can see the right eye before marriage, it is better than blind marriage and dumb marriage.

Although Duan Shaolan is not the biological child of the Duansu County Lord, the Duansu County Lord has many friends in the imperial capital's elite circle and has an excellent reputation. Everyone knows that Duan Shaolan's biological mother's early death was a child raised by her, and besides, the county lord of Duansu does not have biological children, and now there are only two children under his knees, Duan Shaolan and Sister Chu, who are not biological but better than biological children.

Everyone in the Xianwang Mansion looked at the face of the county lord of Duansu, and they also took more care of the two children.

Not to mention that after Duan Shaolan's father entered the officialdom, his career became smoother and smoother, and he was even more valued by Emperor Chu. On the other hand, the prince of Zhenguo is handsome and incompetent, and he has many children who have children and concubines, but none of them have become a finished instrument.

Now the Zhenguo Gong has completely given up the children of the Zhenguo Gong's family, and does not ask them to be productive and motivated, but only requires them not to act outside in the name of the Zhenguo Mansion.

Duan Shaolan has studied in the palace school for many years, and has a deep friendship with the two princes.

Therefore, Zhenguo Gong turned all his efforts to Duan Shaolan, after Duan Shaolan entered the Jinqiwei, not only made frequent meritorious contributions, but also handled a major case not long ago, becoming the youngest Qianhu since the establishment of the Jinqiwei.

In addition, he is good-looking and tall, and many people really take a fancy to him.

The county lord of Duansu and Duan Chengwen discussed some suitable families to marry with the Zhenguo Mansion, but Duan Shaolan always said that he wanted to start a business first and then start a family, and refused all family affairs.

But only Duan Shaolan knew that he was not really unwilling to start a family early for the excuse of starting a business first, because at the first time he met her, her figure was already deeply embedded in his heart.

He knew that her status was noble, and it was difficult to even see her side.

Fortunately, Xiao Xuan was still young in the early years, and Emperor Chu let her go out of the palace to play. And she has a good relationship with his sister Sister Chu, and will always invite Sister Chu to meet when she leaves the palace.

The mother-in-law, Duansu County Lord, was not worried about the young Sister Chu going out, but as the mother of the second room, she couldn't go out with Sister Chu every time.

Duan Shaolan, who had his own careful thoughts, volunteered to take the next task of picking up Sister Chu'er out

He took the opportunity to pick up his sister, thinking that it would be good to see her more.

His grandfather took him to the court for training, and let him choose between the military department and the pennant guard. He almost didn't hesitate to directly choose the Jinqiwei, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the emperors of the past dynasties. In addition to investigating and doing things for His Majesty, he is also responsible for guarding the security of the inner palace.

When he first joined the pennant guard, because of his junior qualifications, he could only be on duty in the inner palace. He was so willing, because when he was in charge of guarding the inner palace, he could still see Xiao Xuan from time to time.

Today he came by appointment, and saw that the person waiting for him in the room turned out to be her. The ecstasy that rose in his heart for a moment was also suppressed by his reason.

"I think you're worthy of me, I think you're a good person." Xiao Xuan's hand holding Duan Shaolan's arm was slightly forced, tilted his head, stared at his eyes tightly and asked. "Do you really not like me at all?"

After Xiao Xuan left the palace last night, Emperor Liu's concubine has been restless.

It wasn't until the Sixth Prince's Mansion sent someone to send the news that Xiao Xuan had entered the mansion safely, and Emperor Liu's concubine was reluctant to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Since the princess has arrived at the mansion of the Sixth Highness, I think that the Sixth Highness and the Sixth Princess will definitely take care of the princess." Suihong served Emperor Liu's concubine to change her clothes and persuaded her. "When the princess figures it out, she'll come back on her own."

"Jun'er's personality is out of character, he and Xuan'er don't know what they will do when they get together?" Concubine Liu knew Xiao Jun's temperament, and sighed helplessly. He and Duan Shaolan are friends again, and maybe he will invite Duan Shaolan to come out and meet Xuan'er. The children are all debts, and the two younger ones are never as sensible as their elder brothers. ”

"Niangniang, the princess is only fifteen years old now, and it's still too early to talk about marriage." Sui Hong took the comb, held a strand of long hair of Emperor Liu's concubine and combed it carefully, and said. "The princess was only angry for a moment today, and ran out in a hurry to talk to the mother. Thinking about it, even if His Majesty allowed the princess to contact the young master of the Duan family, he was reluctant to marry the princess too early. Young people's likes come and go faster, the mother and the princess are mother and daughter, why bother to ruin the mother-daughter relationship for an uncertain matter. ”

"Xuan'er seems to be active, but she is actually the most dead-eyed child." knows the daughter Mo Ruomu, and as a mother, Concubine Liuhuang knows Xiao Xuan best. "The people and things she identifies, even if anyone tells her that she will not change her mind easily. Let her go. ”

"Niangniang is the person who loves children the most." Hearing the meaning of the loose words of Emperor Liu's concubine, Sui Hong couldn't help but joke with a smile. "Since the eldest princess and Princess Mu are so there, how will the mother explain?"

"Mother and eldest sister have a good talk about it, and I didn't make up my mind with her when the eldest sister mentioned this matter." Concubine Liu Huang probably knew what Princess Mu was planning, but Mu Tingyu, a child, grew up away from the imperial capital since he was a child, and although he and Xiao Xuan were cousins, there was no affection between them. "The Duan family is the queen's mother's family, I'm just afraid that the queen won't easily agree to this marriage."

As a princess, even if she marries a wife, she is different from ordinary women who need to live in her husband's house and teach her husband and children. After getting married, she has her own princess mansion and does not have to serve her mother-in-law and elders.

Therefore, a suitable candidate for the colt is the most important.

Although the eldest princess of Yongshou was moved by the eldest daughter Princess Mu for a while, she was willing to come forward to be a lobbyist in front of Emperor Liu. But in the final analysis, Xiao Xuan is the child who grew up in front of the eldest princess of Yongshou, and compared with Mu Tingyu, Xiao Xuan is naturally more important in the heart of the eldest princess of Yongshou.

"The current situation is that the prince of Zhenguo has given up the first room of the queen's brother Zhenguogong, and the second room is now in the limelight." Concubine Liu closed her eyes and said slowly. "There are two children in the second room, Sister Chu is still young, and Duan Shaolan is at the right age. It is hard to guarantee that the queen will work Duan Shaolan's marriage in order to win over the people in the second room. She has been at odds with me for many years, and she will not sit idly by and watch my daughter marry Duan Shaolan. ”

When Xiao Xuan left the palace with the green forest last night, although she was still angry at the time, she hadn't completely lost her mind. deliberately took the green forest to take a long detour, and walked to the most remote palace gate before leaving the palace.

It's just that Xiao Xuan didn't expect that she deliberately took a long detour, for fear of being found out that she had left the palace with the green forest without permission.

Things are so unfortunate, Xiao Lu's parrot brother rarely has a leave to go home to visit relatives, and when she returns to the palace, she walks through the remote palace gate that she used to walk in the past. When she returned, it was already dark, and she had only left the palace gate not far from when she saw two familiar figures walking briskly in her direction.

Brother Parrot deliberately hid behind a tree on the side, and when the two figures walked past her, she was surprised to find that those two people were actually Princess Zhaoyue and the green forest serving beside her.

Brother Parrot watched Princess Zhaoyue and Lu Lin walk to the palace gate and leave the palace smoothly.

Princess Zhaoyue is deeply loved by His Majesty, and she can often go out of the palace to play, but every time she travels, she leaves early in the morning, and the chamberlain, palace maids, and female flag guards hug each other.

Today, she left the palace in the evening, and she was followed not by Dan Tangerine but by Green Forest. not only gave up her consistent battle to leave the palace, but also picked such a remote palace gate to go out, there must be another hidden reason.

Brother Parrot thought for a moment and decided to hurry back to Yuxiu Palace to inform her master of the matter.

Xiao Lu has been living in seclusion these days, in order to redeem the image she had lost in front of Emperor Chu before, and in order not to let Concubine Chen complain endlessly and shed tears in her ear every day, she has worked hard to pretend to be clever.

Fortunately, Emperor Chu was soft-hearted towards the child, and he didn't snub Xiao Lu for long.

Concubine Chen was good at embroidery when she was in the boudoir, and she was not favored in the palace and picked up the embroidery needle again in order to kill time. Although Emperor Chu forgave Xiao Lu for the collision this time, his attitude towards Xiao Lu was still a lot colder.

Concubine Chen knew that she had annoyed the queen by her previous decision to marry Xiao Lu back to the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and seeing that Xiao Lu was getting older and older, she could only pin her hopes on Emperor Chu.

So she detained Xiao Lu in front of her, taught her to pick up the embroidery needle hand in hand, and started to learn from the most basic needlework, thinking that Xiao Lu would embroider some purses, handkerchiefs and other things, so that she could send them to Emperor Chu to show her filial piety.

Xiao Lu was unwilling, but she couldn't bear Concubine Chen's tears, so she had to obediently pick up the embroidery needle.

Fortunately, Xiao Lu has some talent, and after learning from Concubine Chen for a few days, she can already get started on her own.

It's just that the embroidery seems to be very light to sit still, but it is actually the most abrasive.

Xiao Lu was detained in front of Concubine Chen for a day of embroidery today, and it was easy to get out when it was late, and led the mandarin duck back to her bedroom.

"Princess, you're back." Xiao Lu stepped into his hall, and Brother Parrot immediately stepped forward. "The slave has something to say to the princess, and the princess must be very interested."
