After Xiao Xuan sat down, a palace maid brought the ruby head that had been put aside before to show Xiao Xuan. Rao grew up in the palace and was accustomed to seeing all kinds of exquisite jewelry, Xiao Xuan, who couldn't help but be fascinated.

"This is a good thing in your aunt's dowry, and it was so easy for your grandmother to find so many rubies of excellent condition and make such a set of noodles for your aunt." Concubine Liu said with a smile. "Like it? Don't hurry up and thank your aunt. ”

"Thank you, aunt, I like it very much." Xiao Xuan did not hesitate to order Huang Yu, who followed her, to accept this whole set of noodles, and got up to thank Princess Mu.

"If you like it." Princess Mu said kindly. "I know that the princess's marriage has been settled, but I will leave the imperial capital in a few days, and I am afraid that I will not be able to be present to congratulate you. That's why I carefully selected such a set of noodles as a congratulatory gift and gave it to you in advance. ”

Princess Mu stayed in the palace and accompanied Concubine Liu to lunch, and when the sun was setting, Princess Mu got up to say goodbye.

"Eldest sister, why don't you stay and talk to me again." The two sisters reconciled, and Concubine Liu was also very reluctant to Princess Mu in her heart, so she said goodbye. "As soon as the eldest sister leaves like this, our sisters don't know when we will see each other again next time."

"I'm leaving in a few days, and I still have a lot of things to settle down before I leave, so I really can't stay any longer." Princess Mu said helplessly. "The imperial concubine cherishes, take good care of your body, and our sisters will always see each other again."

Seeing that the concubine couldn't keep it, Concubine Liu wanted to give Princess Mu another ride in person. After Suihong understood, he ordered someone to set up the frame, and Emperor Liu's concubine personally sent Princess Mu to the palace gate.

The two sisters said goodbye for a while before Princess Mu boarded the carriage and left.

Xiao Xuan had been by Concubine Liu's side, watching the carriage that Princess Mu was riding in gradually move away in the twilight, until their mother and daughter could no longer see the carriage, and Concubine Liu was reluctant to turn around and leave.

"Xuan'er." On the way back to Yihua Palace, Liu Huang Gui'e suddenly called Xiao Xuan softly.

"Hey, I'm here, Princess." Xiao Xuan held the arm of Emperor Liu's concubine, not knowing what she was thinking and secretly distracted, she heard Concubine Liu's voice calling her softly, and hurriedly agreed.

"Actually, for the sake of your refusal to marry, the mother feels sorry for your aunt in her heart." Concubine Liu looked at the road that had been extending in front of her and seemed to have no end in sight, and suddenly said with some emotion. "But after all, it was a selfish act of my mother, and I didn't know how to explain it to your aunt, but fortunately, your aunt figured it out."

"Mother." Xiao Xuan helped Emperor Liu's concubine to walk forward slowly, and Suihong and the other palace maids had a tacit understanding with the mother and daughter, and only followed them from a distance. "It's my fault, it's hard for my mother."

"Hehe, it's rare to be able to say a word of your own from your mouth." Concubine Liu looked at her daughter lovingly and said with a smile. "Your aunt and I actually have the same heart, Brother Yu is your aunt's youngest son, you are my only daughter, we just want to give you the best. You are in a different situation from Brother Yu, you are a princess and a princess, logically speaking, as long as you don't commit big crimes like rebellion and rebellion, your life will be honorable. After I figured it out, I just hope that you can spend this kind of life with the people you like. ”

"That mother rejected the person that your grandmother chose for you back then, and would rather not be a wife, but would rather be a concubine and enter the palace to accompany her father, has the mother concubine ever regretted it in her life?"

Xiao Xuan's question made Emperor Liu's concubine subconsciously stunned, the eldest princess of Yongshou quickly saw the relationship between her youngest daughter and Emperor Chu, and the eldest princess of Yongshou was unwilling to let her pampered youngest daughter enter the deep palace.

can only find a suitable husband candidate for the youngest daughter, the young man selected by the eldest princess of Yongshou is also from a big family, not only outstanding in appearance and outstanding in writing, but the youngest daughter is unwilling, and insists on entering the palace to the side of the prince back then.

At that time, the prince already had the princess of the main room, and it was useless for the youngest daughter to be favored by Emperor Chu, so she could only be the prince's concubine if she wanted to enter the palace.

Even if the prince's side concubine also has jade and can enter the ancestral hall, in the end she is only a concubine, and she is a head shorter than the princess.

The eldest princess of Yongshou detained her youngest daughter and grounded her in her courtyard, but after a while, the youngest daughter fainted because the water and rice did not enter for several days.

The eldest princess of Yongshou was angry with her daughter for not cherishing her body, and although she waited by her side day and night when her youngest daughter was unconscious, she refused to visit her again as soon as her youngest daughter woke up. The eldest princess of Yongshou's concubine, two sons and daughter-in-law had to persuade them between their mother and daughter.

In the end, the youngest daughter survived the eldest princess of eternal life.

The eldest princess of Yongshou silently put the red wedding dress prepared for her little daughter into the box, and watched her little daughter put on the silver-red wedding dress sent by the palace and sat in the carriage into the palace.

"Mother?" Concubine Liu Huang was immersed in the past, and couldn't help but think far away, Xiao Xuan couldn't reply for a long time, so she had to shake her arm gently.

Emperor Liu's concubine was shaken like this, and suddenly pulled out of her memories.

"Listening to what you just asked, I'm not afraid that I'll pull off your ears, it's not small, and your speech is so light and heavy." Concubine Liu seemed to be angry and grabbed Xiao Xuan's ears.

"What about the mother's reply?" Xiao Xuan hurriedly protected his ears, but he still didn't forget to ask.

"Your father and I love each other, he loves me and takes care of me to this day, except for the title of a wife he can't give me, he has given me a lot, a lot, what can I regret?" The corners of Emperor Liu's mouth were curved, her eyebrows and eyes were like a spring breeze, and she said to Xiao Xuan with a smile. "He also gave me your three children, three children who are related to me and him, and I don't know how to complete it in my life."

Such a concubine of Emperor Liu, with such a gentle expression on her face, was something Xiao Xuan had never seen.

Emperor Chu and Emperor Liu's concubine are not without regrets, he and her met early and fell in love late, even if Emperor Chu loves and favors Emperor Liu's concubine, he will not be a wife who has not made mistakes.

Emperor Liu's concubine was taken care of by her uncle Emperor Xian in the palace in her early years, and later she was favored by her husband Emperor Chu, and her life was quite smooth.

"It's so nice for the mother to smile like this." Xiao Xuan hugged the arm of Emperor Liu's concubine and said sincerely.

Yes, although today's Liu Huang Guifei is well-maintained and has a unique charm, she is still past the prime of a woman's appearance. But at this time, in Xiao Xuan's eyes, her appearance was as gorgeous as a spring flower, and the whole person seemed to be coated with a layer of shallow fluorescence, which was amazingly beautiful, and couldn't help but make people feel broken.

"Don't say nice things to please me." Concubine Liu Huang smiled at her.

"Alright, Princess." Xiao Xuan said. "I'm hungry, let's go back quickly,"

"Okay."

Because there are palace guards in the palace who are full-time guards guarding the arch guards, the Jinqi guards will only enter the palace when there are important things in the palace or when there is any ceremony, or when Emperor Chu summons them.

In order to investigate the origin of Orange Cheng, Xiao Xuan had to order someone to find Duan Shaolan.

But the people she sent out wandered around for a few days, but there was no trace of Duan Shaolan.

After a while, Orange Cheng was completely used to being by Xiao Xuan's side. It's just that during the day, Xiao Xuan didn't dare to let Cheng Cheng walk outside, but fortunately, Cheng Cheng was quite obedient when he had good food and drink, and stayed in Xiao Xuan's study during the day. In the evening, Xiao Xuan will let the green forest go out with Orange Cheng to breathe.

Dan Cheng had never been very worried about Orange Cheng approaching Xiao Xuan, but after observing it coldly for a while, she saw that Orange Cheng was becoming more and more well-behaved, so she gradually let go of the worries about her in her heart.

Xiao Xuan couldn't find Duan Shaolan's help, and she couldn't investigate the origin of Orange Cheng, so she could only continue to hide Orange Cheng.

She was worried for a few days, and Xiao Jun, the sixth prince, actually entered the palace. After he talked with Emperor Liu for a while, he got up and found Xiao Xuan.

Coincidentally, Huang Yu, who usually guards outside and watches the wind, happens to be a little unwell these days, Xiao Xuan ordered her to recuperate with peace of mind and not have to serve in front of her for the time being. Thinking that Cheng Cheng had been hiding for a long time and had not been discovered, no matter what Xiao Xuan's study was, even the most decent Suihong beside Emperor Liu would not break in without saying hello.

I caught up today, and when Xiao Jun rushed in, Xiao Xuan was playing a game of rope climbing with Orange Cheng.

Xiao Jun suddenly saw a strange little palace maid beside his sister in the study, it didn't matter, he might not know all the people who were serving Xiao Xuan. It's just that this little palace maid is wearing a palace maid dress that is obviously not the right size, and her hair at one end looks yellow and is cut messily.

But Xiao Jun's words were still in his mouth and he didn't open his mouth, and Orange Cheng, who was frightened by Xiao Jun's rush in, immediately jumped up from the stool with a spirit, and his mouth couldn't stop exhaling with a threatening sound.

"Orange Cheng, stand down." Coldly, Xiao Xuan was also taken aback by her brother, but after she came back to her senses, she hurriedly shouted to stop Cheng Cheng.

After so many days of training, Cheng Cheng finally understood some rules, and when she saw Xiao Xuan, who had always been very kind to her, straightened her face, she obediently retracted herself and turned her head to stand behind Xiao Xuan.

"Sixth brother, why did you come suddenly?" Xiao Xuan asked with a pretended composure.

"I heard that you sent someone to look for someone at the palace gate to find Duan Shaolan for several days, thinking that you might want to know his whereabouts, so I deliberately took the time to come to you to talk to you." Xiao Jun sat down familiarly, took the teacup and poured himself a cup of tea.

Orange Cheng stood behind Xiao Xuan, and when she saw that someone was coming, she not only scared her, but also occupied her own stool, so she had to stare at Xiao Jun with hatred.

"Sixth brother, do you know where he is?" Orange Cheng was standing behind Xiao Xuan at this time, Xiao Xuan couldn't see that she was staring at Xiao Jun, so she could only ask about Duan Shaolan's whereabouts.
