Standing at the foot of the carriage, Lu Lin carefully helped Xiao Lu's mother and daughter to board the carriage, and saw Xiao Lu leading Sister Rou up, before Xiao Xuan could open her mouth to greet them, Brother Min who was holding her in her arms had already recognized the young lady who was playing with him last time, Brother Min excitedly struggled in Xiao Xuan's arms, and her mouth was still babbling to greet Sister Rou.

"Big sister, take Sister Rou and sit down." Xiao Xuan wanted to hold down Brother Min, who was constantly making noise in his arms, and hurriedly beckoned Xiao Lu's mother and daughter to sit down. "I didn't expect the eldest sister to bring Sister Rou into the palace today, otherwise I would have taken Brother Min to Yuxiu Palace during the day to ask Concubine Chen for a good time."

"It turned out that my mother was quite unwell during this time, so I took Sister Rou into the palace." Xiao Lu let go of Sister Rou'er's hand and greeted Xiao Xuan with a smile. "Who knew that when I came out of the palace, the carriage broke down in the middle of the road, but fortunately I met my sister."

"Hello aunt." Sister Rou obediently walked in front of Xiao Xuan, and greeted Xiao Xuan in a milky voice. "Hello Cousin Min."

"Sister Rou is so good." Xiao Xuan lovingly touched the bag on Sister Rou'er's head. "Brother Min also recognized the little cousin who played with you last time, right?"

"Ahh Yes! When Brother Min saw Xiao Xuan bowing his head and talking to himself, he immediately screamed and nodded.

"Auntie, can I play with my cousin?" Sister Rou raised her head and asked Xiao Xuan obediently.

"Okay, I'll put Brother Min aside, and Sister Rou will sit with him." Since Brother Min was born, all the carriages in Princess Xiao Xuan's mansion have been specially equipped with seats that can fix Brother Min'er's body, Xiao Xuan put Brother Min on his special seat, and Sister Rou immediately happily sat down.

As soon as the two little guys sat down, they immediately played with their heads against their heads, and Xiao Xuan looked away with confidence.

"Since the eldest sister's carriage is broken, I'll give the eldest sister a ride." Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lu smiled and proposed.

"Then thank you, sister." Xiao Lu didn't pretend to be polite and shirked, she agreed, and instead ordered the parrot brother next to her to stay and wait for the people in the house to come and drag away the broken carriage.

"Green Forest, tell the coachman to go to Princess Nan'an's Mansion before returning home." Xiao Xuan raised his voice and ordered the green forest that was accompanying him outside, and the green forest hurriedly agreed, and the coachman immediately turned the head of the car to avoid the broken carriage on Xiao Lu's mansion, and went in the direction of Princess Nan'an's mansion. "By the way, the eldest sister just said that Concubine Chen was sick, right? I don't know if Concubine Chen is seriously ill? ”

"Didn't it happen to be the birthday of the imperial grandmother some time ago? The queen said that the imperial grandmother believed in Buddhism before her death, and asked my mother to copy ten scriptures by hand in five days to provide them in the palace where the imperial grandmother used to live. In order not to delay things, my mother did not dare to slack off copying scriptures during the day and night, but she accidentally caught a cold at night, and it was good to raise her. However, when my mother took the copied scriptures and handed over to the queen mother, the queen mother ordered my mother to go to the residence of the emperor grandmother to kneel for her for a night, and my mother became more sick. ”

When the door of the palace opened early the next morning, Concubine Chen, who had been on her knees all night, was carried out of the palace of the Queen Mother by the palace maid beside her. Originally, it was not a serious illness to have a cold, even if it was more serious, as long as you drank a few pairs of decoctions.

The queen sent a grandmother from Zhaoyang Palace to scold Concubine Chen, saying that Concubine Chen was deliberately sick and kneeling, and she was insincere, just trying to pretend to be pitiful by getting sick.

Concubine Chen endured until the grandmother finished scolding herself and left Yuxiu Palace, then she was depressed and spit out a mouthful of blood and fell on the sickbed.

It turned out that Concubine Chen had been used to forbearance for many years, and she knew that the queen was deliberately grinding herself and giving herself eye medicine, just to warn Xiao Lu, who was increasingly out of the queen's control. Even if Xiao Lu has her own princess mansion outside the palace, Xiao Lu's biological mother, Concubine Chen, is still in the palace and can only be manipulated by the queen.

Xiao Lu's temperament, Concubine Chen, knew better than anyone else, she didn't want Xiao Lu to have a dispute with the queen again, so she didn't let people inform Xiao Lu outside the palace of the news of her illness.

But it just so happened that Mrs. Ding'anhou entered the palace to see her a few days ago, and Concubine Chen was in better shape at that time, so she forgot to tell Mrs. Ding'anhou, and Mrs. Ding'anhou met Xiao Lu again, so she said that she had leaked her mouth in front of Xiao Lu.

For this reason, Xiao Lu took Sister Rou into the palace to visit Concubine Chen.

couldn't bear Xiao Lu's repeated questions, so Concubine Chen had no way out and told Xiao Lu the true reason for her illness. Xiao Lu was furious when she learned about it, and slapped the table and was about to go to Zhaoyang Palace to question the queen.

Seeing that Xiao Lu was about to get up when she was angry, Concubine Chen hurriedly got up and grabbed Xiao Lu regardless of her body.

"It's just that my body doesn't fight." Concubine Chen grabbed Xiao Lu's arm tightly. "I'm almost okay now, what are you going to do? Sit down, beware of scaring Sister Rou. ”

"Mother, she is deliberately making things difficult for you." Xiao Lu's eyes were red with anger, but she was afraid of Sister Rou on the side, and she finally lowered her voice and said. "I have given in to Duan Shaoyou's affairs, and she still treats you like this!"

"Alright, alright, don't be angry." Concubine Chen said with a smile to soothe Xiao Lu. "She can only grind and rub me in these little things, they are all inconspicuous little things, you say that she is at fault, it doesn't matter, if you go to her to make trouble, she covers her chest and says that you are going to anger her, can't she put your eye medicine on your father again? I'll pay more attention to it in the future, don't go looking for her. ”

"Brother Parrot, take Sister Rou to the yard to play for a while, and then bring her back when I call you." Xiao Lu took a few deep breaths and ordered Brother Parrot to take Sister Rou'er out.

Brother Parrot answered, walked up to Sister Rou and said a few words to Sister Rou, and Sister Rou let Brother Parrot lead her out.

"Mother, I'm sorry for you." Waiting for Sister Rou to leave, Xiao Lu said with red eyes.

"You kid, what nonsense, why are you sorry for me?" Concubine Chen said with a helpless smile at Xiao Lu. "In the end, the mother concubine is useless, but I am used to such days, and it doesn't hurt me to endure left and right. I didn't do anything wrong, I forbearance at first, and over time there was nothing she could do to make it difficult for me. ”

"But I think that I am living freely outside the palace, but the mother concubine still has to endure her difficulties in the palace." Xiao Lu couldn't help but burst into tears, wetting the placket on her chest. "My daughter is really unfilial."

"You and Sister Rou live a good life outside the palace, which is the greatest filial piety to me." Concubine Chen hurriedly took the handkerchief on her body and wiped away the tears on Xiao Lu's face very gently. "You and Sister Rou are the only things I miss, if you can find a good person to marry again in a few years, I will be more at ease."

"What did the concubine say, I'm not going to marry again." Xiao Lu smiled. "If only I could take Sister Da Rou well."

"The concubine knows that you are really hurt and heartbroken." Seeing that the topic was diverted, Concubine Chen patiently enlightened Xiao Lu and said. "But the mother concubine can't accompany you for a lifetime, and Sister Rou's family can't accompany you for a lifetime when she grows up in the future, if you find a good person to remarry, how good it is that someone can accompany you for the rest of your life."

"Hey, it's too early for the mother to say this, how old is Sister Rou now." Xiao Lu has no intention of continuing to remarry this topic.

"Okay, if you don't want to now, the concubine won't talk about it." Concubine Chen knew that it was indeed too early to mention this matter, so she didn't go any further.

"That big sister entered the palace today, but did you hear about the queen mother fainting in Lingyun Hall yesterday?" After listening to Xiao Lu's words, Xiao Xuan covered her lips and asked with a smile.

"Naturally, I've heard of such a big thing." Xiao Lu entered the palace today, and the news about the queen's accident in Lingyun Hall yesterday had spread all over the palace, and Concubine Chen, in order to calm her daughter's anger, naturally did not forget to tell Xiao Lu about it. "Don't talk about this matter in the palace at the moment, it is estimated that everyone in this imperial capital knows and everyone knows."

"So, at least in the last few days, the queen mother can only hide in Zhaoyang Palace to hide and be ashamed." Xiao Xuan raised her eyebrows at Xiao Lu and said. "I'm afraid she won't have the energy to embarrass Concubine Chen anymore."

"Hey, it's me who dragged down the concubine." Speaking of Concubine Chen, Xiao Lu has always been uneasy in her heart. "You and I grew up in the palace, and the queen's heart is clear. She just pretended to be virtuous in front of her father, but she was actually very narrow-minded. The mother concubine has lived in the palace for a long time, and her temperament is gentle and weak, and I am always at ease. ”

"But once the father of the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion has made a decision, the prince loses his title in the first room, and the title falls into the hands of the second room, and the queen's waist pole must not be stiff." Xiao Xuan said comforting Xiao Lu. "Although the second brother seems to be resurrected, but until now, my father has not wanted to mention his identity as the king of Qin to the throne of the king of Qin, and the queen mother has to worry a lot about the second brother, Concubine Chen is used to forbearance, and it is not easy for the queen mother to get the fault of Concubine Chen again."

"Yes, the prince of Zhenguo is the queen's brother-in-law, he is dead now, if the title of the Zhenguo Mansion falls into the hands of the second room who has been at odds with the queen for many years, the queen and the second brother will have a headache." Xiao Lu swallowed her anger and thought about it carefully. "If the second brother has only one county throne on his body, I'm afraid that no matter how much the queen does for him, the second brother is afraid that he won't even be able to touch the edge of the East Palace."

Thinking about it this way, the anger in Xiao Lu's heart has indeed dissipated a little.

"The eldest sister is right to think so, and besides, she lost such a big person in her father yesterday, and the queen has to put all her thoughts on the Zhenguo Mansion at the moment." Xiao Xuan lowered his eyes.

"Hehehe, thank you for my sister's enlightenment." Xiao Lu said calmly. "Originally, my mother and I didn't care which royal brother could sit in the East Palace, but now I think about it, how good it would be if the eldest brother sat on it."
