Xiao Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard the words of the Duansu County Lord.

"That's what my aunt said." After Xiao Xuan helped the Duansu County Lord to sit down, he turned around and found a place beside the Duansu County Lord to sit down. "The imperial capital is so big, she and I were born in the same palace, how can we meet each other. If I really want to hide from her, I can only hide in Yihua Palace for the rest of my life. Besides, I don't lose money to her, why should I keep avoiding her? ”

"yes." Lord Duansu covered his lips and chuckled. "My sister Chu is afraid of the eldest princess, and yesterday I got the news that the eldest duke was going to the mansion, so scared that I immediately sent her to the Xianwang Mansion to hide. I still gave up after knowing that Your Royal Highness the princess was also here. ”

Xiao Xuan thought that Sister Chu had always been brave, and the first time she entered the palace at such a young age, she met such a bad star as Xiao Lu. It's no wonder that after so many years, Sister Chu is like a mouse seeing a cat whenever she wants to see Xiao Lu.

"Then let Sister Chu stay in her yard first, I think the eldest sister will also come to visit my aunt in a while." Xiao Xuan said with a smile. "If Sister Chu comes over now, maybe she will bump into my eldest sister, which will frighten Sister Chu."

"Just the princess."

After Xiao Lu and Mrs. Shizi of Zhenguo talked for a while, she got up and was personally led by Mrs. Shizi to the second room.

The Duansu County Lord, who was waiting in the main hall of the second room, saluted Xiao Lu with the support of the maid, Xiao Lu hurriedly asked the Duansu County Lord to sit down, and her eyes secretly patrolled around the main hall.

"Aunt Duansu." Xiao Lu asked seemingly casually. "Didn't my imperial sister come over just now? Why is it not there now? ”

"Back to Celestia." Lord Duansu gently stroked his palm on his lower abdomen, leaned slightly, and said to Xiao Lu with a smile. "Princess Zhaoyue and Sister Chu have always been good friends, so she accompanied me for a while, and then went to find Sister Chu."

Xiao Lu smiled, and did not continue to ask, but looked at the slightly bulging lower abdomen of the Duansu County Lord, and asked the Duansu County Lord about his recent physical condition very kindly.

Lord Duansu answered the questions one by one.

"Your Royal Highness the Celestial Princess, my pregnancy is tiring, and the doctor in the house has told me not to sit for a long time." Accompanying Mrs. Shizi and Xiao Lu for about half an hour, Lord Duansu said tactfully. "Forgive me for not being well entertained today."

Mrs. Shizi heard the meaning of Duansu County's words, and Xiao Lu could also hear it.

The birth of Lord Duansu was difficult, and even the emperor and queen personally inquired about it, and Princess Xian couldn't wait to come to see her daughter every day.

Mrs. Shizi and Xiao Lu had to get up and say goodbye, and after the two of them were sent out of the second room by Mama Liu, Xiao Xuan, who had been standing in the back hall, walked out happily with Sister Chu.

"Mother." Sister Chu ran to the Duansu County Lord and stood still. "Are the eldest princess and aunt gone?"

Sister Chu'er is timid in temperament, afraid of the eldest princess Xiao Lu, and also afraid of the eldest aunt of the prince of Zhenguo.

"Well, they're all gone." Lord Duansu touched Sister Chu's head.

He talked with the county lord of Duansu for a while, and stayed in the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion for lunch.

Xiao Xuan looked at the Duansu County Lord's expression and was indeed a little tired, and offered to leave.

"Aunt Duansu, when I went to Lingyun Hall today to talk to my father, my father said that the case in Jiangnan has almost been investigated, and he should be able to return to the imperial capital for the New Year." The county lord of Duansu sent Xiao Xuan to the door of the second room, and when Xiao Xuan was leaving, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and approached the county lord of Duansu and whispered.

"Really?" Hearing the news, Lord Duansu was overjoyed. "Thank you, princess, for sending the message."

"It's okay, Aunt Duansu, it's just a trivial matter for me to inquire about this news." Xiao Xuan said. "Knowing that he will return safely is also conducive to Aunt Duansu's body and the fetus in her womb."

When Xiao Xuan got into the carriage and was about to go back to the palace, the green forest, who didn't know where to go, jumped into the carriage after Xiao Xuan sat down.

"Princess, the eldest princess is still talking to the princess." Green Forest said in Xiao Xuan's ear. "I heard that the son who wants to be the princess's concubine is also over there, saying that this son is usually studying in the academy outside the city, but I don't know why he suddenly came back today."

"Oh, that's right," Xiao Xuan nodded.

No wonder the queen mother wants to arrange for Xiao Lu to come over to the Zhenguo Mansion today, it turns out that she wants to arrange for the eldest sister to meet the future big horse before marriage.

Xiao Xuan has never seen the son of the prince of Zhenguo, but she has seen the prince of Zhenguo and his wife several times. Mrs. Shizi is a dignified beauty with a good temperament, in addition to the problem of being full of good wine, the skin is not bad, I think the appearance of the son of the two of them should not be bad,

And Xiao Lu, who was still in the Zhenguo Mansion at the moment, looked at the handsome young man sitting opposite him, and said in his heart for a while whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.

Her future concubine is called Duan Shaoyou, the third son of the prince of Zhenguo and the wife of the prince, compared to the above two brothers who are also dyed with a gentleman's habits. Duan Shaoyou has a handsome appearance and a bookish air, when he was called out by Mrs. Shizi, Xiao Lu didn't recognize him as another person.

If it weren't for the parrot brother who was following beside her, seeing that her face was different, and nudged her shoulder, she would have almost called out the name of another person to Duan Shaoyou.

That person was the person he fell in love with at first sight when he was young, but he never even knew what she was thinking from beginning to end. He was married a few years ago. Xiao Lu once heard people say that he has a good relationship with his wife from an ordinary background, and they often go out together with love, and they have both children and daughters for a long time.

Xiao Lu lowered her head as if smiling shyly, but she wanted to hide a flash of water in her eyes.

There is no possibility for himself and that person for a long time, Duan Shaoyou in front of him is the husband arranged by the queen for herself, and the father and emperor have made a will to marry early. Whether you are satisfied or not, this marriage is already imperative, and you have no room to refuse.

But now that he looks at Duan Shaoyou, who is a little similar to that person's temperament and appearance, Xiao Lu is not so resistant to this marriage in her heart.

Anyway, they all have to get married, and there are still some benefits to marrying someone who is somewhat similar to him, and living in a princess's mansion that can make their own decisions after getting married.

Xiao Xuan returned to the palace, and Emperor Liu's concubine immediately sent someone to summon her over. The person who came to pass the word turned out to be Suihong with a serious face, Suihong saw Xiao Xuan, who had just returned to his palace and was about to rest for a while, and only said that Xiao Xuan should hurry up and go to Emperor Liu's concubine.

Suihong didn't say what happened, only that Emperor Liu's concubine was on fire.

Xiao Xuan had no choice but to sit up again, let Dan Tang lead someone to wait, dismantled the bun on his head, and only pulled up his long hair and fixed his hair with a simple white hosta.

"It's just a trip to the mother's place." Before leaving, Xiao Xuan instructed Lu Lin not to follow her. "Let's go back to the green forest and take a look at the orange, I'll take the orange with me."

Waiting to arrive in the palace of Emperor Liu's concubine, as soon as Xiao Xuan saw Cheng Cheng, who was suppressed by two sturdy grandmothers, he knew why Emperor Liu's concubine was furious.

"Mother." Xiao Xuan was annoyed that she had forgotten to deal with Chengcheng's matter for a while, and now that the east window incident had happened, she had no choice but to walk into the hall to face it. "Mother, I'm back."

"Well, it's back." Concubine Liu Huang glanced at her angrily, pointed at Cheng Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and raised her eyebrows to question Xiao Xuan. "Can you tell me why such a little girl is hiding in your study?"

"That。。。。。 Mother 。。。。。 Xiao Xuan looked at Emperor Liu's concubine in embarrassment, and then looked at Cheng Cheng, who was suppressed.

Cheng Cheng saw the familiar Xiao Xuan and Dan Tang coming, and he was still kneeling there honestly, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he suddenly struggled with his strength, and screamed in his mouth.

She used her force so suddenly, the two grandmothers almost couldn't suppress her.

"Chengcheng, don't move." Xiao Xuan saw that Emperor Liu's expression was wrong, and hurriedly shouted at Cheng Cheng.

Cheng Cheng immediately became honest, looking at Xiao Xuan with a pair of red eyes with tears in his eyes.

"Mother, Cheng Cheng Cheng was picked up from Yongdao on my grandmother's birthday, when I returned to the palace at night." Xiao Xuan simply took a turn of heart and told all about Chengcheng. "I know I shouldn't have brought someone from an unknown background back to Yihua Palace, but my mother is still so young, and her tongue was cut out, where can you let me send her that day?"

"Xiao Xuan! You've been hiding a person for so long, hiding it from me for so long. If I hadn't made a temporary decision to go around your temple today, how long would you have to hide it from me? Emperor Liu said sharply. Others will never cut her tongue for no reason, her origin is unknown, her identity is unclear, and she must not stay in Yihua Palace. ”

"Mother, she's so young, she doesn't even say anything without a tongue, and she won't cause any trouble." Xiao Xuan argued. "I have never let her out of my palace since I left her, and after my princess's mansion is built, I will send someone to send her to the princess's mansion first. Mother, it's a human life, no matter how noble or low, she is always qualified to live, right? ”

"I didn't say that I was going to take her life, just one word, she can't stay in Yihua Palace." Concubine Liu turned her head to Suihong and said. "Suihong, go and call someone from the Internal Affairs Office to come and take this child away."

Xiao Xuan was in a hurry, and hurriedly glanced at Dantang, who subconsciously stopped Suihong who wanted to go out.
