Chapter 161: Invitation
Dan Tang stood outside the door and watched the parrots and them leave, and Lu Lin also came over to look at the Shu brocade placed in front of Xiao Xuan.
"Dan Tachibana, what are you still standing at the door?" Xiao Xuan took a sip of tea. "You go and take the key to open my private vault and put this Shu brocade in."
"Princess, do you want people to come and see this thing?" Dan Tangerine walked over, and Green Forest opened his mouth first. "It's not good for this eldest princess to give something back, and she will send a horse of Shu brocade over."
"You're more vindictive than I am." Xiao Xuan naturally knew what Lu Lin was referring to, and couldn't help but smile and said. "Big sister wouldn't do such a stupid thing, she really wanted to do something with the things around me, and she wouldn't choose to do something with the things she ordered someone to send her. If something really happens to me, and I don't have to say anything, won't everyone think of her? ”
"Princess, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Xiao Xuan didn't care, and Green Forest really didn't dare to agree. "Have you forgotten the wound on your face last time? The eldest princess is always difficult to figure out, and the slave thinks it is better to be careful. ”
"Okay, okay, it's rare that we in the green forest have said everything Dan Tang wants to say." Xiao Xuan looked at the Shu brocade and turned his head to look at the orange. "Dan Tangerine, I vaguely remember that there should be a Shu brocade with the same pattern and color as this in my private vault."
"Yes, princess has a good memory." Dan Tang was in charge of Xiao Xuan's private treasury, she stepped forward and looked at the Shu brocade on the table carefully, and replied. "It's exactly the same, it was sent to the princess by the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, but it has been kept in the warehouse and not used for tailoring."
"Then let's do it, you go and put the Shu brocade sent by this big sister into the warehouse. Take out the original horse in my Curry and make it into a dress. Xiao Xuan commanded. Isn't that the best of both worlds? ”
"Okay, the slave has written it down, and I'll do it later."
"Princess, what do you say is wrong with the eldest princess now?" Green Forest asked puzzled. "In the past, the princess didn't hide any good things, and she would always prepare a copy for the eldest princess. It's just that the eldest princess didn't even want to take the things sent by the princess properly, and she destroyed most of them immediately when we sent them. Now the eldest princess not only accepted the gift with a smile on her face, but also remembered to have someone give it back. ”
"Either way, it's better if she's hypocritical or fake." Xiao Xuan looked at the snowflakes flying outside the window and said. "It's okay for me to accompany her if she wants to play, it's better than her coming to me every day to make trouble, it's so good that everyone is so peaceful."
After a few days, the peach blossoms in the Imperial Garden bloomed just right, and the heavy snow that had been falling for several days in the imperial capital finally stopped.
Green Forest led a few younger palace maids to build snowmen in the courtyard, Xiao Xuan stood under the porch and watched them make noise in the snow, and Dan Tang came over with a cloak to put it on for her.
"Princess, the parrot next to the eldest princess is here again." At this time, a palace maid came in and said. "I said I was going to send a post to the princess on behalf of the eldest princess."
"Posts? What post? Xiao Xuan looked at her. Forget it, go get the parrot in. ”
After a while, Brother Parrot hurried in.
"Brother Parrot has seen Princess Zhaoyue." Brother Parrot walked quickly to Xiao Xuan, and put a gold-sprinkled post in front of Xiao Xuan with both hands. "Because the peach blossoms are in full bloom in the imperial garden, the snow has stopped today, and the eldest princess is ready to wait for two days to hold a flower banquet in the imperial garden, and invite some familiar ladies into the palace to enjoy the flowers and have fun. The eldest princess specially ordered the slave maid to send you a copy of the post of the flower banquet, hoping that if you have nothing to do that day, you will take the time to go and sit down. ”
"Dan Tangerine, come over and take the post from Brother Parrot's hand first." Xiao Xuan has never been difficult for them, she knows that if Brother Parrot goes back with the post again, she may not know how Xiao Lu will have a seizure. "But in a few days, I really don't know. It's not that I don't want to give my big sister this face, it's just that my body is the most afraid of the cold, and if I really have nothing to do, I will definitely go over to cheer for my big sister. ”
"Yes, the slave knows." Brother Parrot saw that Xiao Xuan's words were smooth, and he didn't say that he would go or go, but with her identity, he had no position to ask further, so he had to retreat.
Dan Tang was originally standing beside Xiao Xuan, and Lu Lin immediately lost the snowball in his hand, and jumped to Xiao Xuan's side in three steps and two steps, and curiously leaned over to see the post in Dan Xuan's hand.
Dan Tang glared at Lu Lin, turned around and sent the post to Xiao Xuan's hands.
"I won't take it, people won't have already explained their intentions." After thinking about it, Xiao Xuan stuffed the post back into Dan Tangerine's hand.
After the confinement was lifted this time, Xiao Lu seemed to have been reborn. Originally, because of her unapproachable temperament, the young ladies of the same age as her all got married and had children early. Now that Xiao Lu has the queen's blue eyes, her future concubine is the third son of the prince of Zhenguo. Regardless of whether the prince is not a weapon again, in the end, the title of the Zhenguo Mansion in the future will still be tied to the prince.
In addition, after Xiao Lu announced that she had recovered from her illness, many female dependents of families close to the Zhenguo Mansion and the queen in the imperial capital brought unmarried girls from their families to visit her. Xiao Lu changed her temperament that was not easy to get close to in the past, those girls were a few years younger than Xiao Lu, and they had never been in contact with her, but they really made Xiao Lu have a few friends.
During this time, because of the queen's permission, Xiao Lu often had the opportunity to go out of the palace to sit in the Zhenguo Mansion. Xiao Lu's future mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi, is an informed and knowledgeable person, whenever Xiao Lu goes to the Zhenguo Mansion, she will also invite some people who are good friends with her in Su Ri to build momentum for Xiao Lu, and change the bad image that everyone has in Xiao Lu's hearts on weekdays.
After this period of hard work, Xiao Lu's reputation in the imperial capital has really taken a big turn. Her former domineering was just her youthful frivolity, and now that she has agreed to get married, her temperament has slowly changed, and it seems to outsiders that she should take it for granted.
"Princess, that's what you just said to Brother Parrot." Lu Lin and Dan Tang are of the same age, and they also came to Xiao Xuan's side at the same time, but Lu Lin has always been a little afraid of Dan Tangerine, and as soon as Dan Tang glared at her, Lu Lin simply asked Xiao Xuan directly. "Are you going or not going?"
"I can't figure it out for a while. Go, won't I be shouting for my big sister. Don't go, seeing that my eldest sister is going to get married soon, I won't go to the flower banquet held by her at this time, so that she will add more tongue to it. Xiao Xuan was also quite entangled for a while. Dan Tangerine, Green Forest, you can follow me to the mother concubine to get an idea. ”
Xiao Xuan walked down the steps directly as he spoke, and Dan Tang and Lu Lin were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed.
Concubine Liu Huang held the post that had just been handed over by Dan Tangerine in her hand, and she only felt a little hot.
"Mother?" Xiao Xuan leaned beside Concubine Liuhuang and asked, slapping her arm. "Tell me whether I'm going or not?"
Concubine Liu's heart was also as entangled as Xiao Xuan's heart before, it was not to go, it was not to go, it was not to go.
At this time, Suihong came in with the brocade from the queen's side.
"The slave maid Jinxiu has seen Emperor Liu's concubine and Princess Zhaoyue." After Jinxiu came in, she leaned down freely and greeted Xiao Xuan and Emperor Liu, who were sitting on it.
Seeing that outsiders came, Xiao Xuan immediately adjusted her sitting posture and sat beside Emperor Liu's concubine, looking gentle and demure again.
"It turned out to be splendid, but it was a rare guest." Concubine Liu Huang saw her daughter quickly straighten up, and then smiled and let Jinxiu get up. "The queen mother has always been inseparable from you, how can I have time to come to my Yihua Palace today?"
"The imperial concubine is really joking me, I'm just serving the queen's mother, I just get a little attention from the queen on weekdays, just run more errands." Jinxiu said with a smile. "Today's slave maid came over just to pass a word on behalf of the queen."
"Oh? Is that so? Emperor Liu asked dignified and generously. I wonder what the queen has to tell me? ”
"The words that the slave maid passed on for the queen today are really not for the imperial concubine." Jinxiu turned her head to look at Xiao Xuan beside Emperor Liu's concubine and said. "This is for Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyue."
As soon as Jinxiu's voice fell, Xiao Xuan looked at her in surprise.
"It seems that the people around Princess Celestia have already come." Jinxiu saw the post in the hand of Emperor Liu and smiled slightly. "The queen mother asked the slave maid to come and talk to Princess Zhaoyue about this matter, the queen mother knew that after Princess Zhaoyue received the post of the eldest princess, she must have some worries in her heart, so she will not be able to make up her mind."
"The mother queen is clever." Without waiting for Emperor Liu's concubine to speak, Xiao Xuan said first. "Jinxiu, you are the proud person by the side of the queen mother, I shouldn't say those kind words in front of you. If you want to come to Jinxiu, you should know the truth, and you should know whether the eldest sister is really recuperating or fake recuperation when she comes back from the palace. I almost disfigured my face, and I inevitably had some worries in my heart. ”
"What Your Highness said is extremely true." Jinxiu continued Xiao Xuan's words. "But on the day of the palace incident, His Royal Highness was injured, and the eldest princess was also punished. Now the eldest princess is also remorseful in her heart, so she thinks about taking the initiative to invite Her Royal Highness to participate in the flower banquet, thinking that she can be close to Her Royal Highness before she gets married. The queen mother means that Her Royal Highness and the eldest princess are sisters, this flower banquet came to a lot of young ladies of the family, the eldest princess does not have many days to have fun in the boudoir, and I hope that His Royal Highness can go to the imperial garden to participate in the flower banquet, so that outsiders can see the bearing of the royal princess. ”
Jinxiu's words are reasonable, the purpose of the queen to send someone to spread the word at this time is to exert pressure, it seems that Xiao Xuan must go that day.
