Emperor Liu's concubine and Duansu county lord had a very happy conversation, originally because of the queen, Liuhuang concubine and Duansu county lord did not have a deep friendship.

At present, Emperor Liu's concubine knew that Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan were probably going to settle down like this, so she had a good chat with the Duansu County Lord, and found that the Duansu County Lord looked weak and kind, but in fact, he was quite exquisite.

In addition, she can really treat the children of the deceased concubine, not just for the sake of her reputation outside, but to love the two children from the bottom of her heart.

"Our Brother Lan was born with rough benzene, but fortunately he has won the favor of His Majesty and the imperial concubine, and is willing to let him be Princess Shang Zhaoyue." The county lord of Duansu got to the point, got up and curtsied and saluted to Emperor Liu's concubine. "Brother Lan is sincere, and he will definitely be able to live a good life with Princess Zhaoyue in the future."

"Duansu, you are too humble, I see that you have raised Brother Lan and Sister Chu very well." Concubine Liu said with a smile. "If Brother Lan is really coarse, the children of this imperial capital family will be blind. But my daughter, because she is a daughter, is inevitably pampered by His Majesty. When the time comes, when she gets married and lives in her own princess's mansion, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it in the palace, so I have to ask you to take care of her for me outside. ”

Sister Chu came to the palace for the first time, and everything she saw was very fresh.

Xiao Xuan didn't take her far, and only sat by the lake outside the courtyard. He also asked Dan Tang to spread the word, and went to the kitchen of the palace to get some fresh fruits and snacks to entertain Sister Chu.

"Sister Princess, is my brother also on an errand in the palace?" Sister Chu sat on the stone bench on the shore, tilted her head and looked at Xiao Xuan and asked. "I haven't seen him in a long time, and he hasn't been home for almost a month."

"Well, your brother is on an errand in the palace." Xiao Xuan picked a round and plump peach and handed it to Dantang, telling her to take a knife and peel it. "Your Majesty selected an elite escort from the Jinqi Guard during the summer vacation in the palace, so your brother will probably not be able to return home until His Majesty returns to the imperial capital."

"Ahh Sister Chu missed her brother, and she couldn't help but be a little depressed when she heard this, she sighed and lowered her head, and her fingers couldn't stop buttoning the begonia flower pattern embroidered on her skirt, looking like a little pitiful.

"Sister Chu, do you want to see your brother?" Xiao Xuan looked at Sister Chu'er's small appearance, couldn't help but soften, and took the initiative to touch the top of her head and asked.

"Well, Sister Chu misses her brother, my brother has always been busy in the past two years, but basically every day when he goes home, he will accompany me to talk." Sister Chu listened to what Xiao Xuan said, and immediately raised her head to look at Xiao Xuan, both of her eyes could emit light. "Can my sister let me see my brother?"

Dan Tangerine moved quickly, and while Xiao Xuan and Sister Chu were talking, he had already removed the skin of the peach, cut the flesh into small pieces, and piled it in a small saucer.

"This is a peach from Jiangnan Xingong, it's very sweet, you can taste it." Xiao Xuan pushed the small plate towards Sister Chu, took a handkerchief and cleaned her hands. "Your brother should be on an errand around here now, I'll send someone to look for him, let him come over to meet you, and talk to you, okay?"

Xiao Xuan put down the handkerchief and took a piece of peach flesh and put it in Sister Chu'er's hand. Sister Chu held the peach meat and listened to Xiao Xuan's words, eating the watery and sweet peach meat in her mouth, and she didn't have time to speak, so she just nodded vigorously.

Xiao Xuan smiled, turned his head and instructed Lu Lin to lead Yuezi and Huang Yu to wear the waist badges of the Yihua Palace and go to the vicinity to find Duan Shaolan. After seeing him, he took the Yihua Palace sign and invited him over.

It just so happened that Duan Shaolan was taking people to change shifts with another small team of pennant guards at this time, he and his subordinates were of the same age, and their backgrounds were similar, Duan Shaolan did not regard himself as a high position, and he and his subordinates were like brothers in private.

They were not in a hurry to go back to the team house arranged for them by the palace steward, but gathered in the shade of a tree to talk.

"Hey, look." One of the baby-faced teenagers suddenly pointed in one direction and said with some excitement. "Are you looking at those little palace maids coming for us?"

"Li Ao, don't think too much, this palace is full of palace maids of this age." The other tall man teased him. "You're only a little older, and you remembered that the girl was coming, and I didn't see that our boss was in his early twenties, and he wasn't in a hurry."

Among the people, most of them are children from families, and naturally some of them have already married and had children early. Duan Shaolan took a cursory look, and among the people present, he was really the only one who was not married to this young man named Li Ao.

Everyone was laughing and playing, and the palace maids who were walking towards them had already walked over.

Duan Shaolan recognized at a glance that the palace maid who took the lead was actually the green forest serving by Xiao Xuan's side.

"The slave has seen Master Duan." Lu Lin took out the waist card of Yihua Palace for everyone to see, and conveyed Xiao Xuan's words to Duan Shaolan and said. "Today, the county lord of Duansu took Miss Duan to the palace to live temporarily, and now the county lord of Duansu is talking to the imperial concubine, Miss Duan misses her brother, and the princess specially ordered the slave maid to invite Lord Duan, and wants Lord Duan to go over to meet Miss Duan."

"Thank you, Princess Zhaoyue." Duan Shaolan arched his hand and said. "Please go back and pass the word, and wait for the ministers and brothers to explain the future errand."

"The slave must bring the word." Green Forest nodded and turned to leave.

Seeing Lulin and his party leaving, everyone immediately surrounded Duan Shaolan in groups.

"The palace maid is holding the waist card of the first-class palace maid of Yihua Palace, and she said that she is passing the word for Princess Zhaoyue, and she thinks that she is the palace maid next to the princess." Li Ao looked excited to know the big secret, and grabbed Duan Shaolan's arm. "The boss has good skills, that Princess Zhaoyue is the pearl of His Majesty's palm, and she actually has a personal relationship with the boss."

"Yes, the rule of Dazhao is that a princess can only be titled when she marries, and Princess Zhaoyue and Her Majesty have given the title, which is already a great favor." Another man said that it was popularized by everyone. "But what's more, Princess Zhaoyue's title contains a country name, and it has been almost a hundred years since there has been a princess with a country name in her title, which shows that Princess Zhaoyue's status is more respected than that of the eldest princess."

"Yes, yes, Princess Zhaoyue's mother, Emperor Liu, was the first beauty in the imperial capital back then, and our Jokhang royal family has always been beautiful." Another person took over the conversation with great interest and said. "When Princess Zhaoyue and Lu Li, I happened to be on duty, and I saw the princess from afar, which is really a rare beauty. I also saw the eldest princess by chance, although she is also outstanding, but she is far worse than Princess Zhaoyue. ”

"Alright, silence." Duan Shaolan pretended to be serious and said. "Your Majesty's two palm beads, where do you have to talk nonsense, although this is only a palace, in the end there are so many nobles living now, there are many people, you speak and act carefully. If your words are heard and spread by those who have a heart, Your Majesty will give you good fruit to eat. ”

"Got it, got it." Li Ao hurriedly responded. "Princess Zhaoyue sent someone to invite you, you can go quickly, and a few of us will go back to the team to rest."

After that, Li Ao squeezed his eyebrows at everyone, and everyone dispersed violently, and went back to the team house with their shoulders hooked.

Duan Shaolan looked at them leaving with a smile and shook his head helplessly.

He just turned around, but he stopped again, adjusted the flying fish suit on his body, and made sure that he was neatly dressed before walking away again.

Duan Shaolan walked to the Jiefang Courtyard where Emperor Liu and Xiao Xuan temporarily lived, and saw the green forest waiting outside.

"Master Duan is here." Lu Lin stepped forward and said, taking the initiative to turn sideways to lead Duan Shaolan. "My princess is taking Miss Duan to watch the scenery by the lake, and she ordered me to wait here to lead the way for the adults."

Compared with the green forest in the Ivy Pavilion last time that he was eager to bite Duan Shaolan in order to protect the master, this time the green forest spoke to Duan Shaolan in a much more polite tone.

"Please lead the way."

Duan Shaolan followed behind Lu Lin, and after walking a distance of only a hundred steps, he could already hear the voices of Xiao Xuan and Sister Chu talking.

"Brother!" After Sister Chu came back from the green forest, after knowing that she would be able to see her brother in a while, she kept looking behind her, and as soon as she saw Duan Shaolan's figure passing through the forest outside, she immediately stood up and turned around and waved at Duan Shaolan with a smile.

"Go, meet your brother." Xiao Xuan couldn't help but smile when she saw Duan Shaolan, and she said to Sister Chu.

"Thank you, Sister Princess." Sister Chu also knew that she was in the palace, and she had to behave in her work and speak according to the rules, and she was not allowed to act rashly, so after getting Xiao Xuan's words, she quickly ran to Duan Shaolan. "Brother!"

"Sister Chu, be good." Duan Shaolan touched Sister Chu'er's head and said to her with a smile. "Are you tired on the way here, I heard that my grandfather came with you?"

"Well, my grandfather took me and my mother to see Aunt Queen. Then my grandfather said that he had something to talk to the queen's aunt, so he asked the queen's aunt to send the palace maids around me to lead me and my mother to meet the imperial concubine and the princess's sister. Sister Chu took Duan Shaolan's arm and said a lot. My mother and the imperial concubine were talking in the courtyard, and the princess's sister took me to the lake to see the scenery, knowing that I wanted to see my brother, and specially sent the palace maid beside her to find my brother. ”

"Is Sister Chu happy to come to the palace?" Duan Shaolan looked at Sister Chu and asked, he knew what the Duke of Zhen Guo had come to talk about with the queen, so he turned to ask Sister Chu about other things.

"Well, happy." Sister Chu'er's attention was immediately diverted. "It's the first time I've come to the palace, and the princess sister told me that I can stay as long as I want, and I can stay and go back to the imperial capital with the princess sister. There is also Sister Chun from King Xian's Mansion who also came to the palace, and Sister Princess said that she would call Sister Chun to play with us tomorrow. ”
