Chapter 111: Straightforward
After a short while, Green Forest led a man back and forth.
As soon as Xiao Xuan sat at the table and raised his eyes, he saw the tall and thin figure standing behind the green forest.
Dan Tang pulled the green forest who was standing outside the door and snickered with a very good look and retreated.
Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan looked at each other for a while, and only then did they realize the wound on their face. She was so frightened that she immediately raised her hand to cover her cheek, and turned sideways to avoid Duan Shaolan's gaze.
"Don't cover it, I've seen it just now." Duan Shaolan entered the room worriedly, and stood beside Xiao Xuan and hesitated for a while before he made up his mind to hold Xiao Xuan's wrist.
After that, his subordinates exerted a slight force, and pulled Xiao Xuan's hand down very easily.
Xiao Xuan subconsciously looked up at him, her reddened eyes and a long wound on the side of her cheek, looking embarrassed and pitiful.
"Does it hurt?" Looking at Xiao Xuan in front of him who was looking up at him slightly, Duan Shaolan felt ripples in his heart and asked with pity.
"It hurts when I get hurt." Xiao Xuan obediently let Duan Shaolan hold her wrist and replied obediently. "How do you know about my injury?"
"I listened to Sister Chu." Duan Shaolan said. "I was worried about you, so I thought I'd come and see you."
"Sit down and talk." Seeing Duan Shaolan, Xiao Xuan's mood really improved a lot. "You were born so tall, you stood and I sat and talked to you, and I was a little tired with my head up."
Duan Shaolan immediately sat obediently next to Xiao Xuan, and only then did he realize that he had been holding Xiao Xuan's wrist.
"It's hot in the summer, and the wound needs to be breathed more to heal faster." Duan Shaolan slowly let go of his hand with some embarrassment, Xiao Xuan's skin was white and tender, cold like a piece of beautiful jade, Duan Shaolan still had a trace of reluctance in his heart after letting go of his hand.
"Hmm." Xiao Xuan's cheeks also flushed, she nodded after listening to Duan Shaolan's words, but asked again. "If I have a scar on the wound on my face, will you dislike me for becoming unsightly?"
"No, Wei Chen just looked at the princess's wound carefully, and if the wound is not treated deeply, and the good wound medicine is used in time, it will definitely not leave a scar." Duan Shaolan has suffered several injuries since she entered the Banner Guard, and she will also help treat the wounds after the colleagues who went out on the mission together were injured, which can be regarded as very experienced.
"You really are." Xiao Xuan pursed her lips and said coquettishly. "You just can't say two words to coax me?"
As soon as Xiao Xuan's words fell, looking at Duan Shaolan's confused expression, she couldn't help but smile at the corners of her mouth.
Duan Shaolan's hanging heart finally settled down after seeing her smile.
After seeing Duan Shaolan, Xiao Xuan really recovered.
Two days later, the eldest princess of Yongshou arrived at the palace.
Mu Tingyu got out of the carriage first, turned around and helped the eldest princess of Yongshou get out of the carriage.
"Brother Yu, let's go with my grandmother to say hello to Your Majesty first." The eldest princess of Yongshou said to Mu Tingyu.
"Yes, I listen to my grandmother."
When the eldest princess of Yongshou and Mu Tingyu's ancestors and grandsons came to the courtyard where Emperor Chu was staying to ask for a summons, they rushed Qiao Xiao Xuan was also in the courtyard of Emperor Chu.
Emperor Chu was not worried about Xiao Xuan's injury, but today there was a government affairs from the imperial capital to deal with, so he had to order someone to pick up Xiao Xuan, and also sent the imperial doctor to check her wounds.
Fortunately, after carefully examining Xiao Xuan's wound, the imperial doctor said that Xiao Xuan's wound had recovered very well, and as long as Xiao Xuan survived the scab, he would definitely not leave a scar.
Emperor Chu listened to the imperial doctor's reply and put his mind at ease.
"I heard that Duan Shaolan will go over to talk to you when he is not on duty these two days." Emperor Chu looked at Xiao Xuan, who was sitting in the position, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a little sourness inevitably rose in his heart. "Happy?"
"Happy." Xiao Xuan has always been honest in front of Emperor Chu, and if it weren't for Emperor Chu's acquiescence, how could Duan Shaolan appear in Xiao Xuan's courtyard again and again. "I beg my father to hurt me, I thought that when I was healed, I would let Duan Shaolan accompany me to the mountains outside the palace."
"Okay, as long as you take care of the wound on your face." Emperor Chu's request for Xiao Xuan has always been obedient, since he has acquiesced that Xiao Xuan's future concubine is Duan Shaolan, he is willing to create more opportunities for the two to get along. "Father will give Duan Shaolan two more days off, so that he can accompany you well."
"Thank you, Father."
Next, Emperor Chu wanted to review the twists and turns that the imperial capital sent over quickly and needed Zhu to approve, and Xiao Xuan got up very diligently to sharpen ink for Emperor Chu.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess of Yongshou and the third prince of Mu Wangfu are asking to see you outside the courtyard."
"Hurry up and invite the eldest princess in." Emperor Chu handed the red pen in his hand to the side, and Xiao Xuan took it willingly.
Wu Chuan personally welcomed the eldest princess of Yongshou and Mu Tingyu into the courtyard and led them into Emperor Chu's study.
When the eldest princess of Yongshou came in, she found that there was a young girl with a veil on her face standing next to Emperor Chu, and the girl winked mischievously at her when she looked at the eldest princess of Yongshou.
"I've seen Your Majesty." After the eldest princess of Yongshou asked Emperor Chu for peace, she said with a smile. "What is Xuan'er doing, covering her face with a veil on her face."
"Auntie, Xuan'er was naughty and accidentally hurt her face recently, she was so beautiful that she didn't want people to see her wounds, so she wore a veil." Emperor Chu diverted the topic and took the initiative to ask about Mu Tingyu's situation. "Why did my aunt only bring Brother Yu with her, why didn't the children in the family come with her?"
"Brother Yu, don't hurry up and say hello to Your Majesty." The eldest princess of Yongshou came back to her senses and gently pushed Mu Tingyu forward with her hand.
"Mu Tingyu has seen Your Majesty." Mu Tingyu stepped forward and saluted.
Xiao Xuan stayed from then on, accompanying the eldest princess of Yongshou and Emperor Chu to finish talking.
"Seeing that His Majesty seems to have government affairs to deal with, Brother Yu and I are one step ahead." The eldest princess of Yongshou saw the folds piled up on Emperor Chu's desk, and took the initiative to get up and say goodbye. "In a few days, if Your Majesty is not busy, I will ask Brother Yu to come over and talk to Your Majesty."
"Okay." Emperor Chu looked at the handsome young man standing beside the eldest princess of Yongshou with his eyes down, nodded and said. "Brother Yu'er has been back in the imperial capital for some time, and I should have a good talk with him."
On the way to the courtyard of Emperor Liu's concubine, Xiao Xuan affectionately held the eldest princess of Yongshou.
"Tell me, what's going on with the wound on your face?" The eldest princess of Yongshou looked at the veil on Xiao Xuan's face rising and falling with the breeze and asked. "You're not a child anymore, how can you accidentally hurt your face, if it's really a small injury, why do you have to hold a veil to cover your face?"
Xiao Xuan listened to the question of the eldest princess of Yongshou, and when she looked up and wanted to say something, she bumped into Mu Tingyu, who was looking at her for a long time.
"Grandmother, I'm hurt, you don't care how I get hurt?" Xiao Xuan looked away and held the hand of the eldest princess of eternal life coquettishly. "Oh, grandmother, shall we go faster? The concubine knew that her grandmother would arrive today, so she specially ordered someone to prepare a banquet at noon. ”
The eldest prince of Yongshou mainly didn't see that Xiao Xuan was deliberately hiding it from her, but he had to live in vain for so many years.
"Xuan'er, I want to talk to your mother for a while." After finishing the meal, the eldest princess of Yongshou drove Xiao Xuan out. "Take your cousin Yu to go out for a walk, and do your best to be a landlord."
Xiao Xuan looked at Emperor Liu's concubine when she heard this, and Concubine Liuhuang nodded at her with a smile.
"Okay." Xiao Xuan turned around and invited Mu Tingyu. "Cousin Yu, please."
Mu Tingyu is not a childlike like Sister Chu, and she doesn't have so much curiosity about the Royal Palace. It's just that he knew in his heart that the eldest princess of Yongshou probably still cared about the injury on Princess Zhaoyue's face, so he deliberately sent her and him away.
"Thank you, Princess."
Xiao Xuan took Mu Tingyu and slowly walked out of the courtyard, and walked not long before reaching the lake. The wind was blowing on the surface of the lake, and the water was flooded with microwaves, and the sun was shining as if the water was sprinkled with broken gold.
Dan Tang and Green Forest followed, and Mu Tingyu suddenly stopped and stood under a willow tree by the lake.
"Is Cousin Yu tired?" Xiao Xuan took two more steps to come out, and heard the coughing sound of Dan Tang behind her, only to realize that Mu Tingyu did not follow her footsteps, so she had to find it back. "Why don't I order someone to prepare some tea, and Cousin Yu can go to the pavilion not far ahead to rest for a while."
"I'm a little tired." Mu Tingyu knew that Xiao Xuan was going and returning, so he opened his eyes and looked at her, one of his eyes glowed amber in the daylight. "It's up to the princess."
Wait for the two to sit opposite each other in the pavilion.
"Princess, I have a question I want to ask the princess, I wonder if the princess can answer a question for me." Mu Tingyu raised his eyebrows at Xiao Xuan and smiled, and asked.
"Cousin Yu doesn't have to be so polite, if you have anything, just ask me directly."
"Princess, why do you refuse to marry King Mu's mansion?" Mu Tingyu didn't say anything, and his words were amazing.
"If you want me to answer this question, Cousin Yu might as well answer me first, why did Mu Wangfu propose to let Cousin Yu marry me?" Xiao Xuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked rhetorically.
Mu Tingyu obviously didn't expect Xiao Xuan to respond to him like this, he couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.
"Originally, the princess and the imperial concubine refused to marry, and only my mother felt very regretful." Mu Tingyu stopped laughing and said. "I didn't expect the princess to be so smart, I actually feel a little pity."
"Cousin Yu, don't worry about him." Xiao Xuan's face was veiled, and only her eyebrows were out, and she asked slyly. "It's only fair to ask and ask."
"Mu Wangfu is a king with a different surname, who is in charge of military power and guards the frontier all the year round. It seems that the future is full of flowers, but in fact there is a hidden crisis. The corners of Mu Tingyu's mouth rose, and he simply confessed the reason for marrying Xiao Xuan. Asking to marry His Majesty's favorite daughter, there are naturally benefits. ”
