Chapter Seventy-Five: Picking

Princess Mu looked at her young son who was young and tall and outstanding, and she was very relieved.

Young boys and girls are so old, it is the time to know Shaoai. Princess Mu felt that with her son's conditions, as long as she pursued it sincerely, given time, Xiao Xuan would not be unmoved.

At present, Princess Mu has successfully persuaded the eldest princess of Yongshou to make more matches in private and increase the chances of the two children meeting.

However, she thought that she would have to enter the palace again, if she really wanted to achieve Mu Tingyu's mastership, Emperor Liu's concubine still had to test one or two.

Xiao Xuan didn't have much feeling about the arrival of Princess Mu and Mu Tingyu in the palace, after all, the last time she saw Princess Mu, she was still a one-year-old child, and she had no memory of Princess Mu at all.

And although Mu Tingyu is outstanding, she is used to seeing the handsome father and brother when she was a child, and even Duan Shaolan's appearance is not inferior to Duan Tingyu.

However, after Princess Mu left for a long time, Emperor Liu Guifei also retired all the palace maids by herself, and sat alone in front of the bed and wept secretly.

"Mother." A palace maid informed Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Xuan ran back to the dormitory where Emperor Liu's concubine lived when she heard the news.

Seeing that her daughter had suddenly arrived, Concubine Liu was a little flustered and took a handkerchief at the head of the bed to wipe her face.

"Mother, it's a great joy for my aunt to come back, why do you keep crying?" Xiao Xuan ran in with a grin. "Don't cry, haven't you just met your aunt. Next, my aunt can stay in the imperial capital for a few months, and if you want to see your aunt, you can send Suihong to take the sign of Yihua Palace to take your aunt into the palace and talk. ”

"When you want to cry, I just think that although I can see each other more in the past few months, when your aunt returns to Saibei, I don't know when the next meeting will be?" Concubine Liu put down the handkerchief in her hand, leaned on the head of the bed and sighed faintly. "Saibei is far away, the road is long, and your aunt is a family member of a vassal king with a different surname, so she must not leave the fiefdom casually, I am afraid that after this meeting, will there be a chance to meet again in this life."

"Mother, it's because of this that you should live this time happily." Xiao Xuan hugged the slender and curvy waist of Emperor Liu's concubine and said coquettishly. "Mother ~~~"

"Alright, alright." Xiao Xuan is a child who crawled out of her belly, she behaved like this, Concubine Liu didn't think about it, and she knew that Xiao Xuan wanted to leave the palace again. "Xuan'er, now that you are old, I should tell you some things."

Speaking of this, Concubine Liu not only thought of the past few years, but also couldn't help but have a headache through the news from the palace maid she placed next to Xiao Xuan.

Emperor Chu has two daughters under his knees, to be honest, Xiao Xuan is not a little more worry-free than Xiao Lu. From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Xuan has a little temper and stubbornness, but she is still an obedient and good child.

Originally, she was young, and His Majesty intended to let Xiao Yu and Xiao Jun win over Duan Shaolan and his father Duan Chengwen. Concubine Liu Huang had a plan, and also supported her two sons to approach the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion.

Thinking that the relationship between the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion and the queen is just a half-sister and brother, the relationship between Duan Chengwen and the queen's brother-in-law, the prince of Zhenguo, has become even worse after Duan Chengwen has become an adult.

Duan Chengwen was also born as a concubine and married the lord of the Xianwang family.

And if King Xian and King Xian's son can lean towards Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu will have a few more chances of winning in the battle for the throne in the future.

However, Emperor Liu Guifei didn't mind that her two sons and Duan Shaolan were close, but it didn't mean that she could let Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan get closer.

In the past few years, Xiao Xuan can always meet Duan Shaolan when he leaves the palace. Two or three times can be said to be a chance encounter, but every time I can meet it, it can't be said to be a chance encounter.

Originally, Xiao Xuan was young, and she didn't look like she had moved the girl's ignorant mind.

At the moment, seeing that Xiao Xuan was always thinking about leaving the palace, Emperor Liu's concubine had no intention of giving her baby daughter to the queen's nephew.

She was afraid that Xiao Xuan hadn't sorted out her mind in the first place, but if she had told Xiao Xuan about her concerns, Xiao Xuan would have determined her mind instead.

"Well, as long as the mother concubine allows me to leave the palace, I will obediently listen to whatever she asks." Xiao Xuan listened to Emperor Liu's words, and immediately sat up straight, pressing her hands on her knees, looking like an obedient baby.

"Now that you are fifteen years old, you have also done the ceremony, which means that you are an adult, and it is time to find a horse and get married." Concubine Liu said while thinking about the wording in her heart. "Your father and I have thought about some candidates, but we are reluctant to marry you far away, so the first consideration is the children of the imperial capital. But you're only fifteen years old, and the royal princess has always been noble because of her late marriage, and we're not in a hurry to decide on your concubine, but your marriage must always make you feel satisfied, so what do you have in mind? ”

Xiao Xuan didn't expect that Emperor Liu's concubine would say these words in a straight manner. As if he had been suddenly poked in his mind, Xiao Xuan's cheeks suddenly turned red.

Concubine Liu Huang also came from Xiao Xuan's first love, at that time, as long as she thought about the person she liked, she couldn't help laughing and felt sweet, she was devoted to Emperor Chu. It's a pity that the eldest princess of Yongshou had no intention of letting her daughter marry into the court at the beginning, not to mention that she was not just a concubine.

Seeing that Xiao Xuan's youthful and beautiful pretty face was dyed with two pieces of flying red, Emperor Liu's concubine hurriedly sighed badly, it seemed that it was too late.

"Mother, I don't know if I like him." The little thought in Xiao Xuan's heart is also ignorant, she was born in the royal family, and she was almost held in the palm of everyone's hands, and she grew up carefully and delicately.

Except for the queen and Xiao Lu, who seemed to be born with a dislike for her, no one treated her badly anymore.

"Xuan'er, talk to the concubine about him." From the palace maid's daily report, Concubine Liu could probably guess who Xiao Xuan was talking about, but she still endured it and didn't find out.

"Mother, as long as I think about him, I will always be happy." Xiao Xuan said with a red face. "Mother, I don't dare to tell you who he is, because I know that his origin may make you feel bad."

"Oh, it seems that the concubine really guessed the right person." Concubine Liu Huang sighed and said helplessly. "Xuan'er, you know that he is the queen's nephew, so I think I don't like him, right?"

"Mother."

"Xuan'er, Duan Shaolan is a good one, and even his relationship with your two elder brothers is excellent." Concubine Liu gently held Xiao Xuan's hand. "He is a concubine from the Zhenguo Mansion, and he doesn't match you well. To tell the truth, whether it is his origin or his relationship with the queen, I am satisfied that he is my son's friend or a vassal of the emperor's eldest son, but I am not satisfied with him being your concubine. ”

"Mother." Xiao Xuan's eyes were red.

Seeing Xiao Xuan's red eyes, like a bullied rabbit, Emperor Liu's concubine was a little unbearable.

"Okay, you can go back and think about it yourself." Concubine Liu had no choice but to say this, let Xiao Xuan go back and think about it again.

Xiao Xuan didn't expect that he went to Concubine Liu in a hurry, but in the end, he returned to his dormitory in a daze.

"Princess." Seeing that Xiao Xuan was back, Dan Tang and Green Forest greeted him. "Why is the princess's face a little pale, what's wrong?"

Dan Tang and Lu Lin are one year older than Xiao Xuan, and they have always been by Xiao Xuan's side, both master and servant, and playmates, who have grown up together for more than ten years.

"Dantang, I want to be quiet tonight, you don't have to wait for me in the room, let the night watchman sleep directly in the ear room."

"In half an hour, dinner will be served, should the princess have some to eat?" Tachibana asked. "It's okay if the princess wants to be quiet alone, but she can't skip dinner, but don't burn her body."

"Okay, you can bring a copy." Xiao Xuan nodded. "I'll use some."

The dinner brought over was placed on the table, and Xiao Xuan lay on the table, staring at the white mist rising little by little along the edge of the bowl. She raised her finger to coil it, but the white mist slid between her fingers, leaving only a wet mark on her fingertips.

Xiao Xuan originally only met Duan Shaolan by chance when she went out of the palace from time to time, and if she later went out of the palace to invite Sister Chu to play, Duan Shaolan personally sent her sister over.

The boy is always gentle, and it seems that in the short contact again and again, Xiao Xuan thinks about him.

And Duan Shaolan is very good to her, but it is different from the kind of father and brothers, and it is also different from those who are in awe of her identity.

He can always remember her preferences properly, and from time to time he personally sends small gifts or through Sister Chu'er's hand, everything can get into her eyes. Most of those small gifts are not very precious, and some of them were even made by Duan Shaolan himself.

If it weren't for the sudden provocation of Emperor Liu's concubine, Xiao Xuan wouldn't have realized that when she suddenly thought of him in her heart, her heart seemed to be stained with hot, sweet syrup, hot and hot to iron her heart.

Only then did she suddenly realize that she might have fallen in love with him.

But his background is a problem after all, and the identity of the concubine is not a big problem, anyway, he has been recorded under the knee of his mother-in-law Duansu since he was born, and he can be regarded as a son-in-law.

But he is also the queen's nephew, there is no doubt that with the many years of grudges between Emperor Liu's concubine and the queen, even if Emperor Liu's concubine feels sorry for Xiao Xuan, the queen can't figure out that she will use this matter to give Emperor Liu's concubine a dismount.

Xiao Xuan lay on his stomach and found that there were more water stains on the table in front of him. She consciously raised her hand to touch her cheek, and it was hot and humid to the touch, because she didn't know when she actually wept.
