Chapter 32: The Guest
"Sister Chu, be good, don't cry." Lord Duansu said to Sister Chu, who was still sobbing quietly in his arms. "Look up and see who's standing outside?"
Hearing this, Sister Chu sobbed and raised her head from the arms of the county lord of Duandu, tilted her head and saw Xiao Xuan standing outside the carriage.
"Sister Chu." Xiao Xuan saw Sister Chu with tears on her cheeks, and immediately smiled and beckoned to her.
"Sister Princess." Sister Chu looked at Xiao Xuan with wide round eyes, tears still hanging on her cheeks, and her small mouth grinned.
"Good." Xiao Xuan turned to the Duansu County Lord and said. "Aunt Duansu, I am out of the palace this time to live temporarily in my grandmother's house, this is my cousin Ying. Fang Cai was really embarrassed, because of me, the carriage stopped abruptly and let Sister Chu hit her head. ”
"Sister~~" Sister Chu crawled out of the arms of the county lord of Duansu by herself, and stumbled towards Xiao Xuan, no one stopped her for a while, she actually walked directly to the wheel and was about to jump down.
Xiao Xuan and Sister Ying were both startled, but Xiao Xuan herself was still a child who had not grown up, where could she catch Sister Chu, but fortunately, Sister Ying reacted quickly and hugged Sister Chu who fell.
"Oh, Sister Chu." The county lord of Duansu was so frightened that he immediately got up, and he was relieved to see Sister Ying catch Sister Chu.
Sister Ying put Sister Chu down on the ground, and Sister Chu immediately stepped forward to Xiao Xuan's side, reached her hand and held it hard, raised her head and smiled at her.
Xiao Xuan shook the hand she was holding with Sister Chu, and smiled at her.
"Mother, I'm going to play with my sister." Sister Chu turned back excitedly and begged the Duansu County Lord in the carriage.
"Aunt Duansu, I don't know where you are going with Sister Chu today?" Xiao Xuan hadn't seen Sister Chu for a few months, and she missed her a lot. "If it's convenient, can you let me take Sister Chu to my grandmother's house to play for half a day? Aunt Duansu can pick her up on the way back to the house, or I will ask my aunt to send someone to send Sister Chu back to the Zhenguo Mansion. ”
"I originally wanted to take Sister Chu back to her parents' house today." Aunt Duansu looked at Sister Chu'er's big bright eyes and looked at herself pitifully, and couldn't help but soften her heart. "If Sister Chu really wants to go, she must be obedient and obedient, and she must not cause trouble to the eldest princess of Yongshou."
"Aunt Duansu, please rest assured, my grandmother likes sensible and cute little girls like Sister Chu the most." Xiao Xuan listened to the meaning of the Duansu County Lord, who agreed that Sister Chu would go back to the Yongshou Eldest Princess's Mansion with her, and said with Duansu County Lord with a smile.
"Then Sister Chu will bother the princess to take care of her, and when I come back, I will go to the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou to pick up Sister Chu back."
The carriage of the Duansu County Lord left, and Xiao Xuan pulled Sister Chu to climb into the carriage.
This time, Xiao Xuan didn't make any more fuss and said that he would stay on Chang'an Street, but ordered the carriage to rush back to the eldest princess's mansion as soon as possible.
Xiao Xuan and Sister Chu sat hand in hand, and Sister Chu looked curiously at Sister Ying'er who was sitting opposite.
"What do you always see me do?" Sister Ying asked her with a smile.
Sister Chu saw Sister Ying talking to her, and hugged Xiao Xuan's arm very shyly, covering half of her face, and smiled embarrassedly. She still remembered that she almost fell off the carriage just now, and it was this big sister who hugged her.
"Sister Chu, does your head hurt?" Xiao Xuan looked at Sister Chu'er's forehead, which was still a little red and swollen, and hurriedly asked.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Sister Chu shook her head obediently, because the carriage of the Duansu County Lord often needs to go out with Sister Chu, the wall of the car has also been treated, and Sister Chu only cried extremely hard when she was frightened just now.
"That's good, remember to tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
"yes, got it." Sister Chu nodded, and said suspiciously. "Mother said that the princess sister can't run out to play when she lives in a big palace, why can the princess sister come out today?"
"This time I went to my grandmother's house to play." Xiao Xuan pointed to Sister Ying and introduced to Sister Chu. "This sister is my cousin, you can call her Sister Ying."
"Well, Sister Ying is good."
When the carriage stopped in front of the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou, the mansion had already discovered that Xiao Xuan was missing, and the whole thing was turned upside down.
After the groom stopped the carriage, before he put down the stool to let the people in the carriage down, he hurriedly trotted all the way to the concierge and asked people to pass the word inside, saying that the second princess was in the carriage outside the mansion gate.
When Xiao Xuan stepped out of the carriage, Ouyang came out with the maids.
"Second aunt." Xiao Xuan saw Ouyang walking out anxiously, and it wasn't until she walked up to her that she eased her expression slightly, and called out to her with some guilt. "I'm back."
"Amitabha, my God, the princess is back." Ouyang took Xiao Xuan's hand and looked it up and down a few times before he said with his hands folded. "The princess can't climb into the carriage like this next time, and your grandmother almost fainted when she heard that you were gone."
"I'm sorry, second aunt." Xiao Xuan said. "I was bored in the house, thinking that I would follow the carriage to pick up my cousin Ying and go back by the way."
"Okay, if the princess wants to go out to play next time, it's not impossible, but next time you can't bring anyone with you." Chang'an Avenue is indeed the most prosperous street in the imperial capital, so the streets are also mixed. "When your second cousin is resting in two days, let him take you out."
"Sister Princess."
As soon as Ouyang's words fell, Sister Ying'er, who had just been helped out of the carriage, took out Sister Chu from above. At a glance, the Ouyang clan recognized Sister Chu as the child of the Duansu County Lord's family.
"Isn't this Sister Chu of the Duansu County Lord's family?" Ouyang asked puzzled. "Princess, why did you go out and pick up one more person?"
"That's right, Second Aunt. I've met Sister Chu twice, and I like her a lot. Xiao Xuan beckoned to Sister Chu, and Sister Ying willingly put Sister Chu down on the ground, and Sister Chu immediately trotted all the way to Xiao Xuan, holding Xiao Xuan's hand very familiarly. I happened to meet Aunt Duansu today, so I asked Aunt Duansu to let Sister Chu and I come over to play for half a day. ”
"I see." Ouyang let out a long breath. "I thought you had brought this child back. Well, since you're all back, come with me to Mother's Yard. ”
The Ouyang clan affectionately pulled Sister Ying to walk in front, and Xiao Xuan took Sister Chu to follow behind. Because she is too young and rarely goes out with the lord of Duansu County, Sister Chu'er is the first time to come to the Yongshou Eldest Princess's Mansion, and she looks at the flowers and plants on the side of the road along the way, and feels that everything is fresh.
Xiao Xuan was also patient, talking to her all the way and answering her various questions.
After a while, they arrived at the courtyard of the eldest princess of Yongshou, and the maid who was waiting for them outside the courtyard gate hurriedly welcomed them in.
"Oh, you naughty boy." The eldest princess of Yongshou, who was sitting on it, saw Xiao Xuan. "What are you running around in the morning, it scares your grandmother."
"Grandmother, I know that I was wrong, Xuan'er will not dare next time." Ouyang took over Sister Chu from Xiao Xuan's hand, Xiao Xuan walked a few steps quickly, and sat with the eldest princess of Yongshou very affectionately and hugged her coquettishly. "It's all because Xuan'er made her grandmother worried."
"Alright, alright." The eldest princess of Yongshou eats Xiao Xuan's set the most, and she laughs when she coaxes her. "Sister Ying is also here, come forward and let me have a look."
"Sister Ying'er greets the eldest princess." Sister Ying hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Hurry up, there are no outsiders in the house, you will be my granddaughter-in-law in two years, it is better to call me grandmother now." For Xiao Yu and Xiao Zhen's choice of concubine, the eldest princess of Yongshou is extremely satisfied.
"Mother, don't be like this, it's an unmarried girl's family, don't embarrass people, you won't dare to come to the door in the future." Seeing Sister Ying'er's blushing face, Ouyang took Sister Chu forward and joked.
"Yo, how come there is a little guest here." The eldest princess of Yongshou saw Sister Chu, and saw that she was born cute and loved her. "You were born so well, whose child are you?"
"Grandmother, this is Aunt Duansu's child, her name is Sister Chu." Xiao Xuan got up and pulled Sister Chu to the eldest princess of Yongshou and introduced Sister Chu to her. "Sister Chu, this is my grandmother, the eldest princess of eternal life."
Fortunately, since Duan Shaolan had an accident in the palace last time, in the past few months, Sister Chu has studied the rules hard under the supervision of the county lord of Duansu.
So when Sister Chu really arrived in front of the eldest princess of Yongshou, she tilted her head and thought about it for a while, and she actually thought that she had saluted decently.
"Sister Chu has seen the eldest princess of Yongshou." Sister Chu's upbringing is still excellent, but she is shy but not timid.
"Well, hurry up, what a good boy." The eldest princess of Yongshou said happily. "Sister Chu was originally Duansu's child, but this is the first time I have seen it, in the past, I only heard Princess Xian mention that she was young and rarely went out to socialize."
"Grandmother, Sister Chu was invited by me to be a guest in the house today." Xiao Xuan said to the eldest princess of eternal life.
"Okay, as long as you want, you can invite whoever you want to come to the mansion." The eldest princess of Yongshou naturally has nothing to do with Xiao Xuan. "But the next time you want to go out of the house, you have to talk to your grandmother first, and your grandmother has to arrange for someone to follow you."
"yes, I see." Xiao Xuan knew that the eldest princess of Yongshou would allow her to go out to play, and Rao is concubine Liu or Emperor Chu would not say anything if they knew about it. "Thank you, grandmother."
"Well, you take Sister Chu out for a walk first." The eldest princess of Yongshou motioned for Sister Ying to stay and talk to her, and instructed the Ouyang family. "Since there are little guests in the house, let the kitchen prepare some exquisite snacks and sweet fruit tea, don't be slow to treat others."
"Yes, Mother."
