So Jinxiu relayed the words passed back by the mandarin duck to the queen in detail.

"She'll see." The queen raised her hand and stroked the new wrinkle at the corner of her eye, and said with a frown. "I actually fell in love with the youngest grandson of the eldest princess of Yongshou."

"Didn't Niangniang already have plans for the marriage of the eldest princess?" Jinxiu asked suspiciously. "Will Celestia's move have any impact on Niangniang's plans?"

"Hmph, her little caution is dispensable." The Empress did not take the matter too seriously. She fell in love with others, but the eldest princess of Yongshou was enough to look at her. Her mother, Concubine Chen, is attached to me, and she herself has been with Xiao Xuan all the year round, how could the eldest princess of Yongshou want such a troublemaker to be her granddaughter-in-law. ”

"That's what the mother said." Jinxiu echoed the queen's words.

"But you still have to pass the word to the mandarin duck and let her keep an eye on Xiao Lu's every move." The queen also understands Xiao Lu's character, and now Xiao Lu has only been out of Qingjingxuan for a long time, and she seems to be honest and has a lot of rules, but she is actually still restless.

At this time, if Xiao Lu really did something out of the ordinary, it would not be good.

"Yes, sissy."

In the next half a month, Xiao Xuan was also deeply disturbed.

Because Emperor Liu's concubine repeatedly instructed her not to provoke Xiao Lu again, saying that as long as she was obedient, she would be allowed to go out of the palace to live in the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou for a few days after Xiao Yu's wedding.

Xiao Xuanda has been thinking about going out of the palace to play since he returned to the palace, so he naturally responded.

She simply hid in the Yihua Palace every day and didn't come out, anyway, there was also a small garden in the Yihua Palace, which was enough for Xiao Xuan to pass the boring time.

Or she didn't expect that on the morning of the third day of her return to the palace, Xiao Lu actually came to Yihua Palace.

"Princess, the eldest princess is outside the Yihua Palace." When Lu Lin got the news, he immediately reported that Xiao Xuan was teasing a pair of talking parrots in the palace of Emperor Liu's concubine with food under the corridor, and when he heard the words, his hand shook, and a piece of food that had been fed to the parrot's mouth fell to the ground instantly.

"What is she here for?" Xiao Xuan looked back at the green forest and asked in surprise. "I haven't provoked her since I returned to the palace, have I?"

"Yes, after the princess came back, except for having a breakfast with His Majesty, she never left the gate of Yihua Palace again." Dan Tang smiled and said with a small bowl of bird food. "Speaking of which, this is the first time the eldest princess has come to our Yihua Palace."

"Green Forest, what do you look like my big sister?" Xiao Xuan pondered for a moment and then asked. "Are you here to trouble me?"

"The slave and maid really don't look like it, it seems that the eldest princess is in a good mood, and she is also gentle and soft-spoken when talking to the slave and maid." Lu Lin was also puzzled, in the past, because the relationship between the two princesses had always been the same, the eldest princess didn't have a good face when she saw them, the palace maids who were serving beside the second princess. "Don't say that the princess is puzzled, even the slave maid only feels strange in her heart."

"Forget it, Dan Tangerine help me go out and talk to my big sister." Xiao Xuan is too lazy to compete with Xiao Lu now, and she still remembers the promise of Emperor Liu's concubine. "Let's just say that I had a cold last night, and I have fallen asleep after taking medicine."

"Yes, the slave will go now." Dan Tang took Xiao Xuan's instructions and handed the small bowl in his hand to the green forest on the side.

After Dan Tang left, Xiao Xuan sat down under the porch.

"If the big sister comes back in the future, you will come first and inform me."

Now Emperor Liu's concubine is very busy all day long, and it will be a few months before the day when the eldest prince marries a concubine, and she supervises in the internal affairs office all day long.

As a result, early the next morning, Xiao Xuan had just taken a nap and got up, and Lu Lin came in to report that the eldest princess was here again, and Xiao Xuan still excused herself because she was sick.

Then on the third, fourth, and fifth days, Xiao Lu would come to the gate of Yihua Palace once a day to order.

After that, for half a month, Xiao Lu actually came to Yihua Palace day after day.

It was another early morning, Emperor Liu went to Concubine De's palace early in the morning to talk, Xiao Xuan had just freshened up, and Dan Tang walked in with an obscure face.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xuan saw Dan Tangerine's expression from the mirror on the dressing table and asked. "It won't be ......"

"Princess, the eldest princess is here again today." Dan Tangerine is really out of a way, in the past half a month, they have said all kinds of reasons, today is sick, tomorrow is tired, the day after tomorrow is late, they have used up the excuses that can be used and cannot be used, today the eldest princess came to Yihua Palace again, they really can't think of any fresh reasons to perfunctory the eldest princess. "Princess, how can this be?"

"What else?" Xiao Xuan was also completely worn out of temper, and she had been hiding from Xiao Lu for half a month. "Dan Tachibana go and invite her in."

After Xiao Lu was invited in, Xiao Xuan also waited for a long time to see her.

Xiao Lu and Xiao Yu sat opposite each other at opposite ends of a table, and neither of them took the initiative to speak for a while.

It's no wonder that the two of them have always pinched up when they met, how could they have the opportunity to sit together so quietly.

"Eldest Princess, this is the snacks and tea that the second princess ordered the slaves and maids to prepare for you." Dan Tang led his palace maids to enter with tea and snacks, breaking the silence in the pavilion.

"Yes, big sister, please try it." Xiao Xuan could only speak stubbornly. "These are not snacks from the imperial dining room in the palace, but I brought them in from outside the palace, so let's try them with a fresh sister."

"Thank you, sister." Xiao Lu smiled and nodded, obediently picked up a piece of dim sum from the plate, put it to his mouth and took a bite. "It tastes good."

"Is there anything important for my sister to tell me these days?" Xiao Xuan decided to strike first and asked Xiao Lu. "It's just a coincidence that I haven't had much time to spare lately, and my body has always been unhappy, so I have been delaying until I saw my sister today."

"It's not a big deal." Xiao Lu took the teacup, took a sip and said. "It's just that since I came out of Qingjingxuan, I haven't had the opportunity to talk to my sister well. My father's purpose in Qingjingxuan was also to let me think about how to do my duty as a sister, I thought about the relationship between me and my sister was too poor, and I didn't know how to improve the relationship with my sister, so I could only think about starting with talking to my sister every day. ”

"So it's because of this." Xiao Xuan's eyes rolled around and said to her with a smile.

Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Lu's appearance, obviously having other plans.

It's just that Xiao Lu didn't speak, and she was even more lazy to pick things up.

But after talking to Xiao Xuan for a while, Xiao Lu couldn't bear it anymore.

"A few days ago, I went to my aunt's house to participate in a chrysanthemum banquet, and when I was about to leave my aunt's house that day, I accidentally bumped into a teenager." Xiao Lu looked at Xiao Xuan's expression carefully and said tentatively. "I heard from the maid in my aunt's house that the young man was the youngest grandson under my aunt's knees."

"Well, that's my second uncle's second son, cousin Changjun."

"Speaking of which, I met him a few times when I was a kid." Xiao Lu said tentatively again. "But for many years, my aunt and grandmother have not brought the children in the house to the palace, and I don't remember how old he is."

"My grandmother only has four grandchildren under her knees, and my cousins are getting older over the years, so it is not convenient for me to enter the palace with my grandmother." Xiao Xuan understood that Xiao Lu had come to inquire about the news of Changjun's cousin. "Now the youngest cousin of Changjun is fourteen years old."

After Xiao Lu heard this, she couldn't help but be secretly happy in her heart.

The noble young people in the imperial capital, except for a few who have decided to marry as children, most of them will start to find a suitable family for them after the age of fifteen.

"It seems that the cousins of my aunt's family are not married yet, right?" However, Xiao Lu was not at ease, and still wanted to confirm one or two more with Xiao Xuan.

"Yes, the Liu family has a family motto for generations, a man can only get married at eighteen, and he will only take a concubine if he has no children at forty." Xiao Xuan thought about it and said. "But the two cousins of the eldest uncle's family have been engaged, but the two cousins of the second uncle's family have not yet been married."

Xiao Lu knew all she wanted to know, and after sitting for a while, she took the initiative to get up and say goodbye.

In the evening, when Xiao Xuan accompanied Emperor Liu to dinner, Emperor Liu took the initiative to ask about it.

"Celestia came to talk to you today?" Emperor Liu's concubine seemed to mention it unintentionally.

"Isn't it? The eldest sister came to Yihua Palace every day and said that she wanted to see me, and I asked Dan Tang to perfunctory her at the beginning and avoid her. Half a month has passed, and she still comes every day as usual, seeing that they can't think of a reason to shirk it, I can only see her. Xiao Xuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Liuhuang and said with a smile. Does the mother want to know why the big sister comes to me every day? ”

"If you want to say it, say it, and don't say it if you don't want to." Concubine Liu Huang calmly looked away and said indifferently. "Let's continue eating."

"Ah, mother, you're really getting more and more annoying." Xiao Xuan angrily grabbed a dish with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you." Concubine Liu Huang looked at her daughter's puffing appearance and couldn't help but smile. "Your grandmother wrote to me that when the eldest princess went to her house to attend a chrysanthemum banquet, she once accidentally bumped into your cousin Changjun. Your grandmother thought that this might not come true, but looking at your reaction today, it seems that the eldest princess really has her mind about your cousin Changjun. ”

"Did grandmother say anything else?" Xiao Xuan hurriedly asked. "Isn't my grandmother afraid, my sister, who has always been unscrupulous, will run to my father and beg my father directly to let my cousin marry her?"

"Your grandmother is really not afraid." Concubine Liu said with a smile. "With the personality of the eldest princess, it is natural that she can do this kind of thing."
