Deng Ting sat on the side of Xiao Xuan's bed and talked to her for a while, Xiao Xuan liked Deng Ting quite much.

"Look at me, I'm just talking to you, and I forgot to let people serve you some tea and snacks." Xiao Xuan seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly beckoned Dan Tang to tea. "We don't say anything else in Yihua Palace, the chef in the small kitchen makes dim sum, do you like sweets?"

Deng Ting will only turn fourteen years old this year, unlike the sisters who grew up in front of their biological mother and aunt in the Ding'an Hou Mansion, they can fight for a piece of cloth and jewelry in the house all day long.

And Emperor Chu set up a small kitchen of autocratic dim sum in Yihua Palace for Xiao Xuan, and all kinds of dim sum were available to Xiao Xuan, and every time Xiao Xuan would order someone to send some dim sum out of the palace to the ladies who were good friends with her.

"I like it." Deng Ting nodded embarrassedly and smiled shyly at Xiao Xuan.

"If you like it, it's fine."

While talking, Dan Tang brought someone over and set up a small table next to the bed, and put on a few plates of delicately styled and fragrant dim sum, as well as Xiao Xuan's favorite milk tea recently.

At first, Deng Ting was still a little unable to let go, Xiao Xuan urged her a few times, and she gently pinched a piece from the plate closest to her and put it in her mouth.

As a result, after eating a piece, Deng Ting's eyes widened, and she not only reached out and took out another piece.

"Dan Tangerine, pour the tea." Xiao Xuan smiled, but she was also afraid that Deng Ting would choke if she ate too quickly, so she hurriedly asked Dan Tang to pour Deng Ting a cup of hot milk tea. "Don't be in such a hurry, take a sip of tea first."

At the other end, Concubine Chen sat alone with Concubine Liuhuang.

After Deng Ting was taken away, Concubine Chen, who had already prepared a draft before coming to defend with Emperor Liu, saw Concubine Liuhuang sitting on the throne drinking tea and was silent, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.

Concubine Chen's face was full of entanglement, and naturally it all fell into the eyes of Emperor Liu, who was in the upper position.

Concubine Liu put down the teacup in her hand, and the slight sound of the teacup on the small table next to her startled Concubine Chen.

"Concubine Chen." Just when Concubine Chen was still struggling and hesitating whether to speak, Emperor Liu had already opened her mouth and said. "Concubine Chen, do you know why I sent someone to invite you and the young lady from the Ding'an Hou Mansion to come over today?"

"The concubine knows." Seeing that Concubine Liu finally got to the point, Concubine Chen only felt that her back was soaked with her own sweat.

"Now that you know." Emperor Liu asked with a smile. "Then what does Concubine Chen think about this matter?"

Although Concubine Chen served Emperor Chu for several years earlier than Emperor Liu's concubine, she was only inferior in terms of life, appearance, and treatment of others, if she hadn't taken refuge in the queen and gave birth to Emperor Chu's eldest daughter, Xiao Xuan had not yet been born at that time, Emperor Chu still liked Xiao Lu very much, so she could be named Concubine Chen in an environment that had been unfavored for many years.

Concubine Liu Huang is completely different from her, she has such an excellent background and appearance, and she has an extraordinary relationship with Emperor Chu. After she entered the palace, she was taken care of by Emperor Chu, her mother Yongshou eldest princess, and her uncle Emperor Xian, and after giving birth to two sons and one daughter who were loved by Emperor Chu, she was successfully named the imperial concubine, and she was the same as the deputy queen.

"Niangniang, although the concubine doesn't know why Princess Zhaoyue fell into the water." The prestige of Concubine Liuhuang, who has been in a high position all the year round, is extraordinary, and Concubine Chen's humble position is naturally cowardly, but for the sake of Xiao Lu's innocence, she had to raise her head and look at Concubine Liuhuang, and force herself to keep her words from trembling. "But the concubine has already asked Lu'er in Yuxiu Palace, and the concubine is willing to swear with her own life, although Lu'er has been on discord with Princess Zhaoyue for many years, she will not be ruthless and stupid to take Princess Zhaoyue's life."

Concubine Chen said, and stood up and knelt in front of Emperor Liu.

The news of Xiao Xuan's accident suddenly came that day, and Xiao Xuan only happened when she went to attend the flower banquet held by Xiao Lu, and when Concubine Liu was in a hurry, she naturally thought that Xiao Lu had harmed Xiao Xuan without thinking.

But after the incident that day, her monstrous anger, while waiting for the unconscious Xiao Xuan to wake up, Emperor Liu's concubine gradually calmed down the anger in her chest under the persuasion of Ning Guiren and Concubine De, who came to visit.

Now that she heard Concubine Chen's words again, Concubine Liu was even more relieved.

"Concubine Chen, get up." Concubine Liuhuang handed a color to Suihong, and Suihong stepped forward to help Concubine Chen. "For the time being, I believe you. Your Majesty already knows about this matter, and Your Majesty will send someone to investigate and deal with it. If it was really just an accident, you can only blame Xuan'er for her own bad luck. ”

Deng Ting completely relaxed her mood and ate a lot of snacks.

"Do you want to go back to Ding'an's Hou Mansion?" Xiao Xuan asked. "It's all because of me, so you can't go back home if you fall into the water."

"Well, back to the princess, I miss my mother and my aunt." Deng Ting blushed slightly and said embarrassedly. "The courtiers have grown up to such an age, and they have never left their mother and my aunt."

"It's okay, when I go back and ask Dan Tang to send you back to Concubine Chen's place, I will ask Dan Tang to bring a message to Concubine Chen Niangniang for me. You were kind enough to save you, there is no need to continue to stay in the palace, and please ask Concubine Chen to send you home as soon as possible. ”

Deng Ting has not lived very well in the palace in the past two days, her aunt Concubine Chen is frightened, and the princess's cousin always has a secretive expression, Deng Ting will inevitably feel a little at a loss when she leaves home for the first time.

It's not that she doesn't want to go home, it's just that her aunt Concubine Chen has told her about her interests early in the morning, and it's not easy for her to say that she wants to leave the palace and go back to Ding'an Houfu.

Right now, Princess Zhaoyue is willing to take the initiative to help and intercede with her aunt on her behalf, which is indeed a complete surprise.

"Thank you, Princess." Deng Ting smiled.

"It's nothing, it's just a matter of asking someone to bring a word." Xiao Xuan said. "I see that you like this snack very much, and when I send you back later, I will ask someone to bring it to you."

Concubine Chen sat with Emperor Liu for a while, and saw Xiao Xuan's side Dan Tang with two little palace maids sending Deng Ting back. One of the little palace maids was carrying a food box, and the other was holding a box in her hand.

"The slave maid asks for peace to Concubine Chen." Dan Tang beckoned the two little palace maids to step forward and asked them to hand over the things in their hands to the people who came with Concubine Chen. "The princess and Miss Deng had a very happy conversation, and the princess specially picked a box of snacks and a box of pearls for Miss Deng as a meeting gift."

"Princess Zhaoyue is so polite." Concubine Chen hurriedly ordered the people around her to accept the things, and said flatteredly. "Sister Ting is the first time to enter the palace, if there is anything inconsiderate in words and etiquette, please forgive the princess."

"The princess said that Miss Deng was pure and kind, and she was very compatible." Dan Tang continued to talk to Concubine Chen according to Xiao Xuan's instructions. "The princess also said, please send Miss Deng home. On that day, Miss Deng was kind enough to come to the rescue, and there was no need to continue to stay in the palace. But if Miss Deng wants to enter the palace next time, the princess still wants to invite Miss Deng to come over and talk. ”

"That's for sure. Sister Ting is blessed to be valued by the princess. "Concubine Chen also got the entrustment of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Ding'anhou, to take Deng Ting well.

Xiao Xuan's good reputation in the imperial capital, and the many noble-born ladies who surrounded her and befriended her, were difficult for Xiao Lu to match.

Deng Ting came out of the Buddhist hall with Mrs. Ding'an Hou, and there are no friends in the circle of the imperial capital's elites, if she really gets Xiao Xuan's blue eyes, she will have many benefits for Deng Ting in the future, and Concubine Chen will naturally be happy to see it.

Deng Ting followed Concubine Chen to say goodbye to Emperor Liu and left Yihua Palace, walking on the way back to Yuxiu Palace.

"Sister Ting, don't leave the palace today." Concubine Chen looked at Deng Ting, who was quietly following her. "Wait for tomorrow morning, and my aunt will send someone to send you back to Ding'an Hou's Mansion."

"Uh-huh, thank you, aunt." When Deng Ting heard this, she responded with a smile.

"Are you so happy to go home?" Concubine Chen, who is now relaxed, finally has a good mood when she looks at Deng Ting. "The ladies on the side are eager to enter the palace more."

"In the future, if my aunt doesn't dislike it, Sister Ting is willing to go to the palace and talk to my aunt again." Deng Ting said. "It's just that I don't want my mother and aunt to worry about me in the house."

"It's okay, my aunt knows what you mean." Such a caring girl made Concubine Chen feel pity. "Princess Zhaoyue is a good one, with her background and status, it will not hurt if you enter the palace more often in the future to be close to her."

"Well, the princess is very friendly." Deng Ting nodded.

"Princess Zhaoyue is a good one." Although her daughter and Xiao Xuan have been at odds for many years, Concubine Chen can't say anything about Xiao Xuan against her will, it is really Xiao Xuan who acts and speaks in front of and behind people very orderly. "You fell into the water this time and made a good impression on her."

After returning to Yuxiu Palace, Concubine Chen asked people to send Deng Ting back to rest, and ordered someone to prepare some clothes and fabrics, and prepare to take them with them when she sent Deng Ting back to Ding'an Hou Mansion tomorrow.

When Concubine Chen returned to her palace, she saw Xiao Lu waiting there.

"Mother, I'm back." Xiao Lu, who seemed to be waiting a little impatiently, immediately stood up when she saw Concubine Chen come back. "How is my sister doing?"

"I haven't seen Princess Zhaoyue." Concubine Chen sat down straight. "I just sat with Emperor Liu for a while, but your cousin Ting met Princess Zhaoyue and accompanied her for a while. However, looking at the attitude of Emperor Liu, Princess Zhaoyue's body should be fine. ”
