Chapter 218: Entering the Palace

Concubine Liu has lived in the imperial capital for half her life, and has been immersed in the harem for many years, and what she thinks in her heart must be more than that of Xiao Xuan, who is a teenager.

The Zhenguo Mansion is now a very envied existence in the circle of the imperial capital's magnates, and now the prince of Zhenguo is useless, but there are still Zhenguo Gongs who have fought for half a life and have brilliant military achievements and a secretary in the mansion, although the queen has no favor and no parent-child children, she can still get some respect from the Emperor of Chu as the wife of Emperor Chu. In addition, there are only two princesses of Emperor Chu now, and the concubines are all born in the Zhenguo Mansion, which means that no matter which prince ascends to the top in the future, the Zhenguo Mansion can stand.

The prince of Zhenguo's mansion, the princess of the prince, Liu Huang Guifei, knew that the prince of Zhenguo was in a mess, but she was like a human being when she married this wife. Her young daughter dared to bully Xiao Xuan's sister-in-law on the day Xiao Xuan confessed her relatives, and even made a move, so it wasn't the intentional temptation of Mrs. Zhenguo's princess.

is different from Xiao Lu's rude reputation before marriage, Xiao Xuan has always appeared in the eyes of the world as a docile and amiable image.

After Xiao Lu got married, her reputation abroad improved, and she treated the princess and wife of Zhenguo quite kindly. Thinking that Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi got the sweetness from Xiao Lu, and thought that she would play prestige in front of Xiao Xuan. But she never expected that Xiao Xuan would be willing to come out for her sister-in-law, let a maid slap her young daughter in the face, and forced her to dispose of her own young daughter.

"See, that's why I was reluctant to agree to your marriage to the colt. Although your mother-in-law is a good person, she is just too kind and gentle, so your sister-in-law will be bullied by her cousin in the next room three or four times in the mansion and dare not come back to complain. Emperor Liu said. She can't handle you and your mother-in-law, so she has to use your sister-in-law to test your truth. ”

"Hearing what the mother said, I understand." Xiao Xuan is not stupid, Concubine Liu naturally understood in her heart when she said this. "Fortunately, I remembered in time that the eldest daughter of Mrs. Shizi married into her aunt's maiden family, and knew that her eldest daughter's life was not very smooth, so I pinched her. It's good to suppress her at one time, so that she won't have any thoughts in the future. ”

"You're still thinking simple." Concubine Liu looked at Xiao Xuan, who was already dressed as a woman but still looked a little childish, and said. "The position of the prince of Zhenguo is actually not very stable, when he made trouble in the early years, if it wasn't for the queen herself to write a handwritten letter and hand it out to the prince of Zhenguo to intercede for him, this would have kept his position as the prince. Now that there is another colt in the second room, and he was sent to the military department by your father, I am afraid that the first room of the prince will be in a hurry. ”

When Concubine Liu said this, she stopped and took a sip of tea.

"In fact, on the day I came back, Shaolan and I had already mentioned this matter." Xiao Xuan understood the meaning of Emperor Liu's words and took the initiative to explain. "Shaolan married me, our children have a future in the future, but they don't really need the title of Zhenguo Mansion. It's just that Sister Chu and Brother Bin are different, if the title really falls to the second room in the future, their future can go further. ”

"Okay, it's enough to let him know. The Duan family's father and son are smart people, and some things are too clear to them, but it is not good. Only then did Concubine Liu notice that Xiao Xuan was only followed by Dan Tang and Lu Lin, and asked suspiciously. Why didn't Suihong come into the palace with you today? ”

"Suihong was injured yesterday, and I told her to rest for a few days without having to wait in front of me." Xiao Xuan said.

"Hurt? How did he get hurt? "Emperor Liu's concubine was puzzled." Is there something going on in your house? ”

"Don't worry, my house is fine." Xiao Xuan hurriedly shook his head and said. "It's just that when it comes to Suihong's injury, I have something to ask my mother? I heard Dan Tang say that Suihong was dragged and entangled by her family yesterday to get hurt, saying that they gave Suihong a family affair, and they had to force Suihong to go back to marry regardless of 3721. Suihong didn't want to struggle, and the people in the house heard the movement and rescued her back. Rao is like this, and the family also ripped a few pieces of jewelry from Suihong. I remember that my mother once said that Suihong's mother was originally a maid next to her grandmother, why did she dare to come to my house to mess around like this now? ”

"A while ago, Suihong's family had a life lawsuit because of the money they put outside, and they were found out by your grandmother and expelled from the house." Emperor Liu's concubine thought of Suihong's family, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and felt a headache. "What good family can they give Suihong, it's nothing more than that they have lost their errands, lost their income, and have no way to live, and they want to sell Suihong for a benefit at the end."

"Dan Tang said that they are a widower whose eldest son is older than Suihong, although Suihong is older, but she has served by her mother's side for many years, and her appearance and knowledge are enough to be a six-grade official wife." Xiao Xuan was upset for Suihong. "It's all relatives who are connected by blood, how can they push Suihong into the fire pit."

"Not all people who are connected by blood can live in harmony." Concubine Liu sighed. "Now that Suihong is the person next to you, what are you going to do with this matter?"

"I think so, since it's Suihong's family matter, as long as her family doesn't come to the door to provoke, I won't take the initiative to intervene, and everything will be handled by Suihong herself." Xiao Xuan said. "I believe that Suihong will be able to handle this matter well, after all, she has been the palace maid in charge of her mother for so many years, can't these little things be handled well?"

"If she could handle it well, she wouldn't have been entangled with her family for many years." Concubine Liu shook her head. "I'm afraid that the family will come to the door to entangle."

"That's okay, there are guards in my house." Xiao Xuan said indifferently. "I'm just afraid that they won't come to make trouble, otherwise I'll fight once I come, and I see how many times they can survive."

"Look at you, who did you learn this from?" Emperor Liu Guifei laughed helplessly. "That's it, the left and right are the trivial matters in your house, and you can deal with it yourself, so I won't say anything."

Xiao Xuan accompanied Emperor Liu's concubine to lunch, and in the afternoon, he went to Lingyun Hall to greet Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu was naturally happy to see Xiao Xuan, and immediately beckoned Xiao Xuan to sit in front of him.

"Father." Xiao Xuan took out a purse embroidered with a dragon pattern from his sleeve and handed it to Emperor Chu. "This is the purse I embroidered in my spare time and gave it to my father."

"Oh, that's a rarity." Chu Dile took the purse and looked at it carefully, and after just a glance, he confirmed that it was Xiao Xuan's stitches.

Concubine Liu also concentrated on cultivating Xiao Xuan when she was young, and she was proficient in the six arts, but she was unfamiliar with Xiao Xuan, such as needle chisels and female workers.

The stitches of the purse in front of him are not fine enough, and the lines of the dragon pattern are also a little disordered, but for Xiao Xuan's craftsmanship, it is already a good work.

"Does Father like it?" Xiao Xuan's eyes smiled like a crescent moon.

"Like, like." Emperor Chu was the most supportive, and immediately took the purse that was originally hanging on his waist and hung up the purse embroidered by Xiao Xuan. "As long as you give it to your father, your father likes it."

"That's fine, anyway, there is nothing in the princess's mansion during the day, so I will embroider more things to show my filial piety to my father." Xiao Xuan said with great interest. "It's just the right time to pass the time."

"What's wrong?" Emperor Chu joked with a smile. "Right now, how long has it been since you and the Duan family's child got married, and he started to snub you?"

"What did Father say?" Xiao Xuan didn't follow and said. "After Shaolan joined the Ministry of War, in order to adapt to the work of the Ministry of War as soon as possible, he had to be busy until late every day before returning home, so he didn't mean to snub me."

"Look, after all, it's still unfair to come here." Emperor Chu looked at Xiao Xuan with a slightly aggrieved expression, and couldn't help laughing loudly. "It's best if he has this heart, his ability is not bad, just wait to get through this time."

"Isn't it?" Xiao Xuan said proudly. "Shaolan will definitely not live up to his father's promotion."

"You, now that you have a colt, can you still see other people in your eyes?" Emperor Chu said in a sour tone. "Tell me about you, after entering the palace to ask for peace on the day after the wedding, did you only remember to enter the palace to ask me for peace now?"

"Yes, I have only one colt in my eyes now." Xiao Xuan simply got up and stepped forward and hugged Emperor Chu. "But my father and mother are in my heart."

"Hahaha, huh?" Emperor Chu was coaxed by Xiao Xuan to smile. "It's good to say it, but don't say it to make me happy."

"Naturally, it's true, my father is the best for Xuan'er." Xiao Xuan couldn't help but be coquettish.

Duan Shaolan had just left the gate of the military department, and when he was talking to a colleague who had just become acquainted, his colleague suddenly raised his hand and poked him with an ambiguous face. Motioned for him to move forward.

Duan Shaolan took the opportunity to look over and found that the carriage with the logo of Princess Zhaoyue's Mansion was parked not far away.

"It seems that Brother Shaolan and the princess have a pretty good relationship." Colleagues laughed and talked and took the initiative to leave. "Since the princess has come to pick you up, I'll go first."

"Walk slowly." Duan Shaolan arched his hand and sent his colleagues away.

The steps under his feet subconsciously sped up, and he walked to the front of the carriage in a few steps, and the oranges and green forests that were waiting beside the carriage bent their knees to salute Duan Shaolan.

The people in the carriage seemed to hear the movement, and immediately lifted the curtain from inside.

A delicate face was revealed.

"Why did you think you came to pick me up today?" When Duan Shaolan saw her, he laughed unconsciously, and asked softly.

"I entered the palace today, and when I came out, I happened to pass by the military department, thinking that the time was almost up, so I ordered someone to stop." Xiao Xuan looked at him and said sweetly. "Come up, let's go back together."
