Chapter 68: Soft-heartedness

Usually, because Xiao Xuan was Emperor Chu's favorite daughter, Emperor Chu also put down his words, as long as Xiao Xuan came to Lingyun Palace. Except for the Chu Emperor Lingyun Palace, who was summoning courtiers, Xiao Xuan didn't need to be reported, and could go in directly.

As soon as Xiao Xuan entered the courtyard in front of the Lingyun Palace, he saw Xiao Lu who was standing in front of the hall with two palace maids waiting.

If it was normal, Xiao Xuan would be fine. But she thought that in order to calm things down, she took the initiative to avoid Xiao Lu every time. Xiao Lu is good, and she is getting worse and worse.

Thinking like this, Xiao Xuan didn't want to avoid her, but walked forward with a smile and took the initiative to greet Xiao Lu.

"Hello big sister." Xiao Xuan said.

"Hello sister." Xiao Lu looked at Xiao Xuan, who was smiling all over his face, although he was displeased, but the front of Lingyun Hall was full of people from Emperor Chu.

Concubine Chen forced herself to come over every five days to see Emperor Chu, and wanted to grind Emperor Chu's heart with the kung fu of using water drops and stones. Fortunately, Emperor Chu has always been a person who cherishes children, and Xiao Lu insisted on coming over every five days to say goodbye during this time. Emperor Chu was always reluctant to see her, and she didn't make trouble, she only stood outside the Lingyun Hall for an hour and left obediently.

After working hard like this for several months, although Emperor Chu still did not announce her into the palace, at least he no longer ignored her existence. From time to time, Wu Chuan will be asked to come out to ask questions, and if the weather is bad on a bad day, Wu Chuan will also remind her to leave as soon as possible.

Xiao Lu couldn't get used to Xiao Xuan, why were the two of them not princesses, but only she had a complete life and was proud everywhere, but in front of Lingyun Palace, she had to obediently put down her resentment.

"Big sister, I see that today is extremely hot." It's late spring and early summer, and the weather is gradually getting warmer. "I see that the eldest sister has been here for a while, and my father should know that you have been here. At this hour, the big sister might as well move to the side and stand under the tree for a while, otherwise beware of the heat. ”

"Thanks for the reminder." Xiao Lu didn't feel any discomfort at first, but when Xiao Xuan said this, she felt a little dizzy.

Xiao Xuan watched Xiao Lu's face change, and it happened that Wu Chuan came out.

"Your Majesty invites the second princess in." Wu Chuan saw Xiao Lu and Xiao Xuan, who were standing facing each other, and said to Xiao Xuan with a smile. "The second princess came by chance today, and His Royal Highness the eldest prince also entered the palace today, and she is talking to Your Majesty at this time."

"Big brother has entered the palace?" When Xiao Xuan heard this, he hurriedly looked away from Xiao Lu's eyes. "Do the eldest brother and the father want to talk about official business?"

"It's okay, Your Majesty ordered the servants to invite the princess in, that is, the official business has been discussed."

"Okay." Xiao Xuan walked up the stairs, and after taking two steps, he turned his head and said to Xiao Lu, who was down the steps. "I see that the eldest sister has a bad complexion, so it's better to go back to the palace to rest and rest first, be careful of breaking your body."

Xiao Xuan said, looking at Xiao Lu's ugly face, and entered the Lingyun Hall with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

But it was Wu Chuan, who stayed, looking at Xiao Lu's pale face at this time, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"A bunch of people who don't have the eyesight." Wu Chuan scolded the attendants who were waiting outside the hall. "You gave birth to a pair of useless tricks in vain, didn't you see that the eldest princess was unwell? Hurry up and come out with a chair and ask Celestia to sit down slowly, and bring a cup of hot tea. ”

Wu Chuan counted the waiters in his mouth, and walked down the steps briskly.

No matter what happened to these two princesses, they are still slaves in the end. The favored princess naturally has to be held carefully, and the unfavored princess in front of her must not be treated slowly. No matter how much people are not favored, they can't change the bloodline of the heavenly family, Wu Chuan followed Emperor Chu to serve, and he couldn't understand Emperor Chu's temperament anymore.

For the court and state affairs, Emperor Chu was a very decisive emperor.

For all the princes and princesses, Emperor Chu can be regarded as a very loving father. Although Emperor Chu is the most partial to the second princess, he is also very concerned about other princes and princesses. If it weren't for the eldest princess's stubbornness that annoyed Emperor Chu this time, where would Emperor Chu hang her for so long.

The two chamberlains carried a chair and put it in the shade, Mandarin Duck and Brother Parrot hurriedly helped Xiao Lu sit down, and Wu Chuan personally brought the hot tea to Xiao Lu.

Xiao Lu took the tea weakly, and after a few sips, he barely had some energy.

"Thank you, Chamberlain Wu Nei." Xiao Lu finally learned a little better during this time, handed the teacup to Brother Parrot to hold, and bowed slightly to thank Wu Chuan.

"The slave deserves a thank you from the eldest princess." Seeing this, Wu Chuan immediately bowed and saluted back. "Today, Your Majesty may not have time to see the eldest princess again, and the weather is not good today, the eldest princess may wish to go back to Yuxiu Palace a little more. The eldest princess has been here for several months, and His Majesty has a fatherly heart, and he may summon the eldest princess next time. ”

"Really?" When Xiao Lu heard Wu Chuan's words, she immediately came back to her senses and asked in surprise.

Wu Chuan is the proud man of Emperor Chu's side, and he has always been very strict-mouthed. The fact that he was able to come out and reveal these words to himself today shows that Emperor Chu is really soft-hearted.

"Thank you, Waiter Wunei, for the point." Xiao Lu's heart, which had been hanging for months, finally let go.

After learning about Liu Changjun's marriage, after the lard blinded Emperor Chu for a while, Xiao Lu did not regret it.

She knows that she is a princess, but unlike Xiao Xuan, she has a mother with outstanding background and grace, and she has no brothers from the same mother, and her only reliance can only be Emperor Chu. If she really offends Emperor Chu, she will really have no future.

"It seems that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess understands the words of the minion." Wu Chuan had a perennial smile on his face, and he bowed down to Xiao Lu and said. "Then the minions will go in first and serve."

"I'll go back to Yuxiu Palace after a while, so as not to delay the errand of the Wu Nei attendant."

Wu Chuan entered the Lingyun Palace, where Xiao Yu and Xiao Xuan, brother and sister, were laughing with Emperor Chu. One is the eldest son who is most relied on, and the other is an obedient and pleasing little daughter, and Emperor Chu was still in a gloomy mood.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is ready to go back." Wu Chuan said in a low voice.

"Okay, I got it." Emperor Chu looked at Wu Chuan, and remembered that this eldest daughter with a tricky temperament couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his brows.

"Father, don't worry too much." Xiao Yu saw that her sister Xiao Xuan wanted to speak, but a look stopped her. "Now that the eldest sister is not young, it is time for my father to choose a colt for the eldest sister to marry. Erchen thought in his heart that he would wait for his eldest sister to get married and then have his own children, and the eldest sister's temperament would naturally be more restrained. ”

"It's her temperament that I can't decide on a suitable candidate for the pony for a long time." Speaking of his eldest daughter's marriage, Emperor Chu couldn't help but have a headache.

Princess Shang has been a difficult matter since ancient times, although the Jokhang changed the old practice of the former dynasty that the concubines were only idle, not allowed to participate in politics, and had no real power, and never let the princess and relatives in a foreign country for hundreds of years, the princesses have a remarkable position in the Jokhang.

However, there are still very few of the top nobles in Dazhao who are willing to let their children princess Shang, because there are too many gossips, even if the horse has real talent and learning, it will be said as if he has eaten soft rice.

And some earls and marquises who have begun to go downhill will want to rely on Princess Shang to keep the glory of the family, but Emperor Chu doesn't look down on such people.

Before, Concubine Chen cried and begged, begging Emperor Chu to marry the eldest princess to the son of her mother's Ding'an Hou Mansion. Emperor Chu originally looked down on Ding'an Houshizi, but thinking of Xiao Lu's domineering temperament, it seems that only the Ding'an Houfu married her back in order to keep the title, but could treat Xiao Lu well. After all, Xiao Lu's marriage can keep the title and reward of the Marquis of Ding'an.

When Emperor Chu figured it out, the Ding'an Hou Mansion had another stubble. Ding'an Houshizi, who insisted on accepting a Qinglou woman as a concubine, was angry with his grandmother, Ding'an Hou's old lady.

Emperor Chu was furious and couldn't help but annul the marriage decree that had been drafted.

"Father, do you mind marrying your eldest sister to a child of the side branch of the family?" Xiao Yu thought for a while and asked. "If my father doesn't mind my eldest sister marrying low, there is a suitable person here for my son to tell my father."

"Big brother, who is that person?" Emperor Chu was still thinking about it, but Xiao Xuan hurriedly asked.

"Why are you a girl who has never asked anyone so much?" Xiao Yu counted Xiao Xuan on his lips, but his eyes were pampered, and he said jokingly. "It's you, it's time this year, and it's time for my father and mother to start looking for the horses you want."

"Your eldest sister's matter will be discussed later." Emperor Chu touched Xiao Xuan's cheek, thinking about the pink baby he was holding in his arms on the day Xiao Xuan was born, and then looked at the current Xiao Xuan, and couldn't help but sigh. "Yes, my Xuan'er has grown up, Xuan'er, if you want what kind of colt you want in the future, come and tell your father directly."

Wu Chuan stood on the side with his head down, listening to Emperor Chu's eccentric words, he couldn't help but slander that if he heard this to the eldest princess, I am afraid that the eldest princess would have to make trouble again.

"Father, you can't fool me with your words." Xiao Xuan smiled and hugged Emperor Chu's arm, and said coquettishly. "When I really take a fancy to whoever I want, if I want him to be a concubine, my father will marry me?"

"Xuan'er, don't talk nonsense." Xiao Yu opened his mouth and counted down his sister. "Girls' families, don't talk nonsense."

"It's okay, as long as the person Xuan'er likes is an unmarried man and has no problem with her conduct, I will allow her." Emperor Chu interrupted Xiao Yu's words with a smile and promised Xiao Yu. "But the person Xuan'er looks down on must be good, right?"

"That's nature." Xiao Xuan said. "But at the moment, I don't have anyone to look down on, but I want to go out of the palace to see Brother Yu and them. The mother concubine said, as long as my father allows me to leave the palace. ”

"Okay, I know you're bored for a while, and I'll send a team of pennant guards to escort you in two days." Emperor Chu agreed.

The wish was fulfilled, and seeing that Emperor Chu and Xiao Yu still had something to discuss, Xiao Xuan retired with interest.

watched Xiao Xuan go out.

"Alright, let's talk to me about your suitable colt candidate." Emperor Chu looked at his eldest son and said.
