Xiao Xuan knew that this time Emperor Liu's concubine had posted a post to invite Duansu County Lord and Sister Chu to come to the palace for summer vacation, she had a good relationship with Duansu County Lord and Sister Chu, plus they would become her mother-in-law and sister-in-law in the future, so she naturally wanted to treat them well.

Even Emperor Liu's concubine wanted to choose a courtyard for Duansu County Lord and Sister Chu'er, Xiao Xuan chose a courtyard closest to her and Emperor Liu's courtyard to live in, and personally took people to watch the maids and palace maids sweep the courtyard.

"Look at her like that." Concubine Liu stood under the corridor and said with a sour voice. "I'm not that dedicated to me."

Duan Shaolan sent Xiao Xuan back to her courtyard, and Dan Tang and Lu Lin followed behind the two with great eyes.

"I'll be here." Getting closer and closer to Xiao Xuan's courtyard, Duan Shaolan stopped.

At this time, they could already faintly hear the sound of talking in the courtyard, and Xiao Xuan nodded.

Duan Shaolan motioned for Xiao Xuan to take someone in first, he stood under the tree on the side and hid his figure, and watched Xiao Xuan take the orange and the green forest into the courtyard before turning around and leaving.

In the courtyard, a little palace maid with a round apple face was originally circling in the courtyard, but when she looked up and saw Xiao Xuan and the others coming back, she hurriedly came over.

"Princess, you're back." This little palace maid is called Yuezi, she is only twelve years old this year, and she was brought by Dan Tang when she entered Yihua Palace.

"What's going on?" Xiao Xuan, who received the gift, was in a surprisingly good mood at this time, and asked with a smile.

"Before Sister Fang Cai Dan Tang went out, she specially instructed a few of us to take a good look at the palace maid called Linhe." Yuezi asked people to drag Linhe to sweep in the house, and she waited outside. "As soon as the princess went out, she wanted to run out of the courtyard while we were not paying attention, but the female flag guard at the gate of the courtyard stopped her."

"yes, I see." Xiao Xuan touched Yuezi's head and said.

After Dan Tang and the others waited for Xiao Xuan to bathe, Xiao Xuan came out in a bathrobe and sat in front of the bed, and Dan Tang took a dry towel to wipe off the water stains on her long hair.

Xiao Xuan played with a pair of stools that had been removed from under his wrists before entering the bath, bowed his head and said nothing.

"Princess, don't you really need to talk to the imperial concubine about the river?" Dan Tang was busy behind Xiao Xuan for a long time, but he couldn't hold back in the end, and said to Xiao Xuan.

"No need, it's just a little palace maid, there is no need to trouble the mother concubine for such a trivial matter." Xiao Xuan put the bracelet back on his wrist. "Just stare at her."

Early the next morning, two carriages drove out of the town and state mansion.

The first carriage was occupied by the Duke of Zhenguo, and on the second carriage was the county lord of Duansu and Sister Chu.

The county lord of Feiyu Mountain Palace Duansu had been to the Xianwang Mansion several times before getting married, but Sister Chu had never been there once.

After receiving the post sent by Emperor Liu's concubine, Sister Chu was very happy, and asked the two of them when they would set off in front of the county lord of Duansu every day. Finally Duansu County Lord arranged the affairs of the second room and was about to set off with Sister Chu, but the Zhenguo Gong suddenly sent his subordinates to the second room to spread the word, saying that the Zhenguo Guild would go to the palace to meet the queen today.

Thinking that although Feiyu Mountain is not far from the emperor, it also takes two days on the road, and the county lord of Duansu and Sister Chu are inconvenient as female dependents, and it is just right for Zhenguo Gong to take them along the way.

Naturally, the county lord of Duansu did not disagree.

Sister Chu has never been out of the imperial capital since she was born, so she took a carriage out of the city gate and went farther and farther west. Sister Chu lifted the corner of the car curtain, looked out with curiosity, and saw that everything was very fresh.

Lord Duansu watched her happily along the way, and she was in a good mood.

When passing by a mountain forest, Zhen Guogong, who was born in the military, took his subordinates and said that they were going to hunt, and Sister Chu had to follow.

The little granddaughter who likes the second room very much on the Zhenguo Fair Day, in the end, there are few children in the second room, and the only son and daughter are from the same mother, and they are all brought up by the county lord Duansu. The relationship between brother and sister is very good, and there is less discord between siblings.

In the room of the different princes, Mrs. Shizi has two sons and two daughters, and there are more than ten concubines and concubines. All day long, the prince's room can be uneasy for some trivial things.

After Zhenguo Gongda's wife died of illness many years ago, although he was over 50 years old at the time, he had been in the army for many years, and his body was very strong, but he looked younger. In addition, as the head of the country, he is also talented, and I don't know how many people want to marry their daughters to be his successor.

Zhen Guogong only excused himself that his children were all adults, and his two daughters-in-law could be directors, and Zhen Guogong did not need a wife to manage the inner house.

Zhenguo Gong was lazy to take care of general affairs, and after stopping the military affairs in hand, he was quite at a loss in the house. From that time on, Sister Chu was often taken by her father to serve her grandfather. Zhen Guogong likes Sister Chu'er to be innocent and cute, and he will always take Sister Chu to play on the streets of the imperial capital.

Today, Zhenguo Gong saw that Sister Chu wanted to follow him to hunt, and personally brought his own mount over, sat on the horse with Sister Chu in his arms, and led the horse with Sister Chu for a walk.

The carriage and horses stopped for a while, and the maid helped the Duansu county lord in the carriage to get some air.

"Look, the county lord, Grandpa Guo personally led the horse and took the young lady to play." Younian, who had already tied the woman's hair in a bun, supported the county lord of Duansu, and pointed to the Zhenguo Gong and Sister Chu not far away. "Such an honor has never been given to a child born by a descendant."

"Our sister Chu caught up with the good time, and my father was unemployed from military affairs at that time, and he suddenly became idle. Sister Chu was four or five years old at that time, and she was the cutest time, and she happened to please her father. ”

The prince of Zhenguo is seven or eight years older than Duan Chengwen, and Duan Chengwen naturally got married several years later than the prince. When the children in the courtyard of the prince were running away, Duan Chengwen had just married the lord of Duansu and entered the door.

Therefore, Duan Shaolan and Sister Chu are younger than the children in the prince's house, and they happened to meet the prince of Zhenguo who gradually became idle, but he took the children in the second room the most.

Duan Shaolan is smart and talented in martial arts.

Sister Chu is innocent, cute, and the most well-behaved and likable.

Zhen Guogong naturally loves their brother and sister more.

The Zhenguo Mansion and his party rushed to the Feiyu Mountain Palace, and the queen knew that the Zhenguo Gong was coming, so she arranged for Jinxiu to bring people to greet her.

Although the county lord of Duansu and Sister Chu were not invited by the queen, this year, the queen accompanied Emperor Chu to the palace to escape the summer. Duansu County is the master of the theory, and before visiting Emperor Liu's concubine, he has to take Sister Chu to go to the queen with Zhenguo Gong to say goodbye.

The queen saw the Zhenguo Gong and the Duansu County Lord and his party, and first asked the Zhenguo Gong to sit down, and the Duansu County Lord also sat in front, and affectionately called Sister Chu to come forward and speak.

Sister Chu has always been a little afraid of this aunt, and after saluting, she saw the queen smiling and beckoning her to step forward, but she only cowered behind the Duansu County Lord and was reluctant to step forward.

The queen helped her sister-in-law in her early years, and she was quite cold to her brother-in-law Duan Chengwen and Duansu County Lord.

As the daughter of the princess of Zhenguo, she later sat all the way from the crown princess to the queen. I don't think that the lord of Su County can treat the two children born from the belly of the concubine as his own, and he doesn't even have a good face for Duan Shaolan and Sister Chu.

But the current situation is that his brother-in-law is really not up to the task, and Zhenri is addicted to alcohol, not to mention, and the official position that he easily sought has also been lost. Zhenguo Gong was greatly enraged, and turned more to the already favored brother-in-law's room.

The queen knew that her brother's position as the son of the world might not be able to sit safely, so in order to win over her brother, she had to start with the marriage of Duan Shaolan and Sister Chu.

It just so happens that Duan Shaolan is still unmarried, and he happens to be the same age as Xiao Lu, and the queen intends to match the two. He also invited Princess Xian into the palace to reveal this intention, and the matter turned into the ears of the Duke of Zhenguo, and he personally came to the door to temporarily reject the queen on the grounds that Duan Shaolan wanted to compete for the future.

After that, the county lord of Duansu was even more reluctant to enter the palace, and he also detained Sister Chu from entering the palace.

As a queen, she can't leave the palace at will, and there is no way to show her closeness.

This time, she endured her physical discomfort and accompanied Emperor Chu to Feiyu Mountain Palace to escape the summer, and immediately sent a post to the county lord of Duansu, who refused the queen's invitation to her mother and daughter to escape the summer on the grounds that Sister Chu's sister was greedy and her stomach was broken.

As a result, in less than a month, their mother and daughter came at the invitation of Emperor Liu.

The queen was unhappy in her heart, but she knew that seeing Zhenguo Gong sitting aside, she could only hold up a smile on her face and continue to talk to Lord Duansu and Sister Chu.

Seeing that his little granddaughter couldn't sit still, Zhenguo Gong took the initiative to open his mouth to relieve Sister Chu'er.

"Duansu and Sister Chu came at the invitation of Emperor Liu's concubine, and they should go to Emperor Liu's concubine to answer the call." Zhen Guogong said. "Their mother and daughter will live in the palace for a while, and it is convenient for the queen to talk to them again, so she might as well let you leave today." I also have something to say to the queen in private, it's better not to be present. ”

Zhen Guogong is now a loving and amiable grandfather to Sister Chu, and he can be described as a strict father to his children in his early years. Therefore, even if the queen, who is a daughter, has been married for many years, she has long been in the supreme position among the women in the world, and she can only be obedient to the upright face of Shangzhen Guogong.

"That's what my father said." The queen nodded, and deliberately asked Jinxiu to lead the Duansu County Lord and Sister Chu to the courtyard of Emperor Liu's concubine. "I didn't take good care of it today, and I will invite Duansu and Sister Chu to accompany me to talk in a few days."

The queen was willing to let go, and the county lord of Duansu immediately took Sister Chu to get up and return the salute, and then left with Jinxiu, who stepped forward to lead the way for their mother and daughter.

Seeing that Jinxiu led people out of the courtyard, the queen motioned to the palace maids serving in front of her to retreat.

"Looking at my father's face, what is the big deal that can't wait for me and His Majesty to return to the imperial capital." The queen asked, a little confused. "My father has to brave the heat to make a special trip to do this."
