Chapter 67: Anger

A month later, Liu Changjun successfully married Deng Yingniang, because she was the grandson of the eldest princess of Yongshou, although the bride's family background was low, but for the sake of the status of the eldest princess of Yongshou in the clan and the imperial capital, the wedding banquet was still polite.

Liu Changjun's father was not allowed to return because of official duties, and Ouyang's maternal brother and Liu Changjun's uncle specially hurried to the imperial capital to attend his nephew's wedding.

The grandson of the eldest princess of Yongshou, the eldest prince and the sixth prince carried the concubine of the palace and brought the gifts given by Emperor Chu to the palace for a banquet.

A wedding feast was so lively.

And two days later, Concubine Chen personally took Xiao Lu, who was silent and had a pair of red eyes, to Emperor Chu's Lingyun Palace, and her mother and daughter asked to see each other in front of the palace.

Wu Chuan went in to report, and after a while, Wu Chuan came out with a smile and replied.

"Concubine Chen, Your Majesty is busy at this time, and it is inconvenient to see Niangniang and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." Wu Chuan said.

"It's okay, our mother and daughter can wait here." Concubine Chen inevitably panicked in her heart after hearing this. "If you bother the waiter Wu Nei to go in and pay tribute to Your Majesty, Lu'er already knows that she is wrong, and she has come to ask Your Majesty for her guilt today. Please ask the waiter Wu Nei to run again, and be sure to fulfill the filial piety of the eldest princess. ”

Wu Chuan really couldn't shirk it, as long as he responded, he entered the Lingyun Hall again.

This time, when Wu Chuan went in, it was a little longer, and Concubine Chen was looking forward to it, while her right hand was tightly holding Xiao Lu's left hand. Subconsciously, she had a lot of strength in her hands, and Xiao Lu's hands were red and deformed. It's just that Xiao Lu has been locked up for a month, and when she suddenly goes out, she is still in a trance, and she can't feel the pain in her hands at all.

"Concubine Chen, the slave should have said everything." After a while, Wu Chuan came out again, still saying to Concubine Chen with an apologetic look. "Your Majesty is really busy today and can't spare time, Your Majesty is also worried about the eldest princess's initial recovery, and it is useless to wait outside the palace all the time, Your Majesty instructed the servants to tell Concubine Chen, let Concubine Chen take the eldest princess back to Yuxiu Palace quickly."

The news spread quickly throughout the palace.

"Your eldest sister has changed her temperament so easily over the years, but at this time, your father was angry." Concubine Liuhuang, who learned about this, deliberately asked Xiao Xuan to call her to her. "Changjun has successfully completed his marriage, and the eldest princess will not worry about him anymore."

"Wouldn't that be great? What did my mother ask me to do? Xiao Xuan asked puzzled.

"What was her relationship with you like before, have you forgotten?" Emperor Liu's concubine hated that iron could not become steel, so she nodded Xiao Xuan. "Now your cousin Changjun can't miss her, with her bastard nature, she was beaten by your father and the emperor, and let Wu Chuan escort him back to Yuxiu Palace for a month. If you've been wandering around outside lately, you're going to get into trouble if you happen to see her. ”

What Emperor Liu's worries about really happened, and the first time she took a look after that, Xiao Lu suddenly attacked Xiao Xuan. Although Xiao Lu didn't have the courage to do it directly to Xiao Xuan, she slapped Xiao Xuan's face and hit a little palace maid named Bi Tao next to Xiao Xuan.

It seems that Xiao Lu, who has been locked up for a month, is indeed very angry, and not long after she slapped her, Bi Tao's face was swollen.

"Dan Tangerine, you help Bi Tao to go back to Yihua Palace first." Xiao Xuan's face couldn't help but look ugly, today she saw Xiao Lu from a distance, and she had already turned around and dodged, but Xiao Lu chased after her. "Take some medicine and touch her face and let her rest for a few days."

"Yes, Princess." Bi Tao is only thirteen years old, born with a round apple face, and has a simple temperament.

In the past, Xiao Xuan was a good talker, where did she receive such a beating, she fell to the ground and sobbed, but she didn't dare to cry.

Dan Tang had no choice but to help her up according to Xiao Xuan's words, and after giving Lu Lin a look, he helped Bi Tao to leave.

"Big sister, don't deceive people too much." Xiao Xuan said coldly. "All these years have passed, isn't my sister pretending to be well-behaved? Why bother making a fuss for a little thing. ”

"What's wrong with me, I'm a princess, and a palace maid hit me, and I can't deal with it yet?"

"Big sister, you're just making trouble unreasonably." Xiao Xuan was too lazy to tear up with her. "Since you know that you are a princess, the palace people have no intention of offending, and you don't have to punish it yourself."

"My sister's face is rare now." Xiao Lu said with a sneer.

Xiao Xuan didn't want to say more to her, so she turned around and wanted to leave, but she saw Concubine Chen coming over with a few people.

Xiao Xuan originally wanted to leave directly, but Concubine Chen had already arrived in front of her, so she could only stop and salute Concubine Chen.

"Second princess." After Xiao Xuan saluted, she wanted to leave directly, but Concubine Chen hurriedly moved in front of her. "Today is your big sister who did not do it right, this time please don't show off, and then I promise to be optimistic about her."

Xiao Xuan looked at Concubine Chen's hurried look, so she had no choice but to give up.

"Concubine Chen, read it in your face." Xiao Xuan glanced at Xiao Lu, endured the depression in her heart, and said to Concubine Chen. "I won't tell the public about this time, but if the next time my big sister comes to me for such an unprovoked reason, I won't be so good at talking."

Xiao Xuan returned to Yihua Palace and instructed Dan Tang to pay more attention to Bi Tao these days.

But even if Xiao Xuan didn't talk about it to anyone, including Emperor Liu's concubine, he didn't talk about it. However, the Jinqi guard in charge of guarding the palace was directly under the jurisdiction of Emperor Chu, and as soon as this incident happened, it was reported to Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu didn't expect that Xiao Lu not only didn't think about where his fault was, but also turned his anger on Xiao Xuan.

In fact, Emperor Chu originally wanted to canonize Xiao Xuan as Princess Zhaoyue at Xiao Xuan's ceremony, and then wait a few months to canonize Xiao Lu.

But what Xiao Lu did chilled Emperor Chu's heart, and this matter was temporarily stopped.

Now, Xiao Xuan has passed her fifteenth birthday, held a ceremony, and became the princess of Zhaoyue in Zhaozhao, and she was immeasurably beautiful for a while.

Emperor Chu also has two princesses, Xiao Lu and Xiao Xuan, because of Emperor Chu's differential treatment, Xiao Lu and Xiao Xuan are even more in private.

After Xiao Lu beat this incident, it seemed that he was completely forgotten by Emperor Chu.

Xiao Xuan is fifteen years old, she is a full four years older than Xiao Xuan, not only does she not have a title, but Emperor Chu no longer mentions the matter of choosing a horse for her.

The news in the palace always spread quickly, and soon the news spread throughout the imperial capital. The entire circle of the imperial capital and magnates knew about it, and it was easy to get the eldest princess of Emperor Chu, but for some reason she annoyed Emperor Chu, and now she has fallen out of favor.

Originally, several families who were still waiting and watching Xiao Lu, the ladies of the family would come to the palace from time to time to talk to Concubine Chen.

Since the news of Xiao Xuan's fall from grace came out, the female dependents of those families have never entered the palace again.

Concubine Chen saw that her daughter was about to reach the age of twenty, but Emperor Chu did not pay any attention to her marriage, she took Xiao Lu to ask to see her several times but was refused, and cried in private I don't know how many times.

Seeing that Emperor Chu was completely unwilling to care about Xiao Lu's affairs, Concubine Chen had no choice but to beg the queen.

Concubine Chen has been attached to the queen for many years, and she wanted to rely on her loyalty for many years to seek the queen's mercy and choose a family affair for Xiao Lu to marry. At least according to the rules since the founding of the Jokhang Kingdom, the latest time for a princess to have her own title is when she gets married.

The queen is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, before Concubine Chen ignored her admonition and insisted on letting Xiao Lu marry back to the useless Ding'an Hou Mansion. This incident annoyed the queen who had other plans for Xiao Lu's marriage at that time, otherwise the queen would not have let people secretly help, so that Xiao Lu and the prince of Ding'an Hou conspired to take the life of the old lady of Ding'an Hou.

At present, Xiao Lu's stubbornness annoyed Emperor Chu again, and Emperor Chu deliberately coldly treated Concubine Chen and Xiao Lu's mother and daughter. The queen is naturally not stupid, and she will not take Xiao Lu's marriage at this moment, and do it against Emperor Chu for no reason. In addition, there have been several murder cases made by the Red Lotus Sect members in the recent past, and now is the time when Emperor Chu is annoyed, and the queen can't touch Emperor Chu's mold for Xiao Lu.

Concubine Chen cried and begged the queen several times, but the queen only replied ambiguously and would help Xiao Lu find a way.

Concubine Chen is not stupid, she can't hear the prevarication in the queen's words, so she can only hide her face and leave.

And speaking of the Red Lotus Sect members who have been the most ferocious in the imperial capital recently, after Liao Yongnian's death, Jing Zhaoyin was pressured to quickly arrest them and landed on the shore, those Red Lotus Sect members who were responsible for several bizarre murders seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Not only is there no trace of them in the imperial capital, but even the believers who have sworn and presented their family wealth without complaint or regret seem to have collectively lost their memories and do not mention the Red Lotus Sect again.

If it weren't for the murderous files still on his desk, Jing Zhaoyin couldn't help but wonder if he had just had a dream.

But Emperor Chu was at the top, and even the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Dali Temple had to come to ask from time to time.

A few months have passed, and the Red Lotus Sect has no more crimes, and the sect members are no longer haunted.

Jing Zhaoyin had no choice but to seal the case file and send it to Dali Temple to temporarily seal the case.

Concubine Liu didn't know where Xiao Xuan heard all this, and came to pester her to leave the palace.

"That's it, I don't care about you." Emperor Liu's concubine couldn't stand Xiao Xuan's pestering, and when Xiao Xuan just wanted to entangle her, she pushed Xiao Xuan to Emperor Chu's side. "As long as your father agrees to let you leave the palace, it is up to you to leave the palace for as long as you want and wherever you go."

Xiao Xuan immediately smiled, called people to change their clothes, and prepared to go to Lingyun Palace.

Coincidentally, the road was narrow, Xiao Xuan was in a good mood, and happily walked to the front of Lingyun Palace, and bumped into Xiao Lu outside the hall.

Because there was really no way, although Emperor Chu did not want to see Xiao Lu, Concubine Chen had to let Xiao Lu come to Lingyun Hall every five days to ask to see Emperor Chu. Xiao Xuan knew about this on weekdays, even if he came to Lingyun Palace, he would avoid the date when Xiao Lu came.

Today, it was easy for Emperor Liu's concubine to be relieved, she got carried away for a while, and she forgot that today was the day when Xiao Lu came to see Emperor Chu as usual.
