Today, Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan agreed before going out, and when he came to the Zhenguo Mansion to pick her up and go back with him, Xiao Xuan sat with peace of mind and accompanied the county lord to gossip.

While speaking, the county lord of Duansu couldn't help but ask about Xiao Xuan's feelings during pregnancy. Fortunately, although Xiao Xuan is the first child, the people around her take care of her very dedicatedly. Xiao Jun, who arrived in Jiangnan safely earlier, sent someone to deliver the letter back, Xiao Xuan had no worries in his heart, and his health was much better.

In the afternoon, Xiao Xuan and Duansu County Lord were talking, and there was a sudden bustle outside.

A maid came over to spread the word, saying that Sister Chu was back.

But after a while, Sister Chu walked in hand with a pretty girl who looked about her age.

When the girl walked in with a smile, Xiao Xuan happened to look up, but unexpectedly, her eyes collided with the girl she had never met.

"I've seen my sister-in-law." Sister Chu saw Xiao Xuan coldly, and immediately let go of the girl's hand and ran to Xiao Xuan. "Why didn't my sister-in-law say it in advance when I came over today, you must know that my sister-in-law won't go out to play when she comes over today."

"Aren't you coming back too?" Xiao Xuan's attention shifted to Sister Chu, and said to her with a smile. "Sister Chu, are you having fun today?"

"Happy!" Sister Chu thought of the girl she had brought back at this time, and hurriedly turned around and pulled the girl to Xiao Xuan, and introduced her to Xiao Xuan. "Sister-in-law, this is the spiritual cousin in King Xian's mansion."

"Xiao Yunling greets Princess Zhaoyue." The girl saluted Xiao Xuan very calmly.

"Get up." Xiao Xuan tilted his head, stroked his stomach and turned his head to ask the Duansu County Lord. "This sister looks at her eyes, I don't know which cousin's daughter in King Xian's mansion?"

"Sister Ling is the eldest daughter of my third brother, and it hasn't been long since my third brother returned to the emperor after five years of foreign office, Sister Ling hasn't come out much, and it is normal for the princess to look at her." The lord of Duansu County saw his niece but was not very enthusiastic, and only smiled and said to Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan thought about it, King Xian's third son has indeed been out for many years, and the sister Ling in front of her should have gone with her father, otherwise she was born in King Xian's Mansion, even if she was a concubine, Xiao Xuan would not have any impression of her.

"It turns out that this sister is the eldest daughter of Uncle Zhentang." Xiao Xuan smiled softly and talked with Xiao Yunling with a smile. "I didn't know that Sister Chu would come back with her sister today, I met my sister for the first time, but I didn't bring any meeting gifts to my sister."

After that, Xiao Xuan took off a string of pearls in his hand and handed it out.

"If my sister doesn't dislike it, take this string of beads first."

"Princess, Sister Ling is two years older than you." Lord Duansu suddenly reminded him.

"What? Two years older than me? "Xiao Xuan was really a little surprised, because seeing that Xiao Yunling was born petite, her eyebrows were also delicate, and she was slightly shorter than Sister Chu'er." But I saw that Sister Ling was born petite and cute, and I really couldn't tell that she was older than me. ”

Xiao Xuan was unexpected, and soon changed his name to Xiao Yunling.

Xiao Yunling is the eldest daughter of King Xian's third son, her father is not Princess Xian's concubine, just a concubine, and she is honest and decent. However, there are many heirs in the Xianwang Mansion, and a concubine girl like Xiao Yunling does not have the position of county lord.

"Thank you, Princess." Xiao Yunling has a pretty appearance and soft facial features, but only a pair of eyes are a little swaggering, slender and charming.

Xiao Yunling still stepped forward to take the string of beads handed out by Xiao Xuan, and wrote a salute according to the rules. Although she has the same surname as Xiao Xuan, her identity is much worse than that of the serious and high-ranking little county lords of the Xianwang Mansion.

"You're welcome." Xiao Xuan felt that Xiao Yunling looked cautious, but from the moment she came in and saw her, she had been quietly looking at herself. "If there is a chance to meet again next time, I will definitely make up a suitable meeting gift."

"That's right, Sister Chu." At this time, the county lord of Duansu opened his mouth and asked Sister Chu. "You went out today, why did you kidnap Sister Ling'er back?"

"Mother, it was the time I entered the palace with my sister-in-law at my grandfather's house, and the orchid that the imperial concubine gave me." Sister Chu smiled and stepped forward to explain to Lord Duansu. "I didn't expect Cousin Ling to like orchids too, so I invited her back to have a look."

"Oh. I see. Lord Duansu smiled and touched Sister Chu'er's head, glanced at Xiao Yunling and said. Since Sister Ling is here to see the orchids, let Sister Chu take you to her yard to enjoy the flowers now. If it's getting dark earlier today, don't miss the time to go home and let your father and mother worry about you. ”

Xiao Yunling had been standing there with her head down, and she was very obedient and obedient, and only after listening to the words of the Duansu County Lord did she raise her head in surprise.

Xiao Xuan listened to the words of the Duansu County Lord, and also looked at the Duansu County Lord in surprise.

Lord Duansu said this politely, but the meaning in his words was not polite.

The county lord of Duansu has always been gentle, not to mention Xiao Xuan, even Sister Chu, who grew up beside her since she was a child, has never seen the county lord of Duansu say something like this. Not to mention that Xiao Yunling was originally born in the Xianwang Mansion, and she had to call her aunt to the county lord of Shangduan.

"Yes, I have written down my aunt's teachings." Xiao Yunling quickly adjusted her expression and replied meekly.

"Mother." Sister Chu didn't know the reason, so she looked at the Duansu County Lord.

"Sister Chu, the princess and I still have something to say." Lord Duansu interrupted Sister Chu'er's words. "It's not suitable for a girl like you to listen, you take Sister Ling to your yard to enjoy the flowers, and treat the guests well."

"Oh." Although Sister Chu still had doubts in her heart, but the Duansu County Lord said so, she still obediently responded.

Seeing Sister Chu and Xiao Yunling go out hand in hand, Xiao Xuan turned his head and asked the county lord Duansu.

"This Sister Ling is two years older than me, hasn't the marriage been decided yet?"

"Sister Ling'er followed her father five years ago, and her mother-in-law and biological mother stayed in the Xianwang Mansion and did not accompany her, so she wasted her choice of son-in-law." Lord Duansu replied.

"Why should a girl who has not yet left the cabinet follow Uncle Yingtang?" Xiao Xuan was even more puzzled when he heard this, the Duansu County Lord has always been gentle to people, why is it like this to Xiao Yunling.

"Her mother-in-law is weak, she is the eldest daughter, and she has also learned to take care of household affairs and take charge of the inner courtyard since she was a child." Duansu County Lord's expression froze for a moment, and he explained to Xiao Xuan. "Her mother-in-law can't accompany her, her biological mother's identity is not enough, only her identity is suitable, so the family will arrange for her to accompany my third brother to the outside world."

"I see, I didn't expect Sister Ling to be born small, but she can be in charge of the family alone."

Xiao Xuan didn't know that if Xiao Yunling hadn't accompanied his father out of the imperial capital five years ago, he would probably have been sent to the Buddhist hall by his family.

Lord Duansu didn't expect Xiao Yunling to still think about Duan Shaolan, after five years, she could still go to the Zhenguo Mansion through Sister Chu.

Lord Duansu thought about it and glanced at Xiao Xuan, looking at her bulging belly, the words were about to slip to his mouth, and finally swallowed.

Duan Shaolan is different from Duan Shaoyou, he was able to refuse Xiao Yunling once five years ago, and he will definitely not look down on Xiao Yunling five years later.

Not to mention that he and Xiao Xuan have a harmonious relationship between husband and wife, and it won't be long before Xiao Xuan will give birth.

Xiao Yunling didn't think that much ability to get in front of Xiao Xuan, and the county lord of Duansu decided to wait for Xiao Xuan to give birth smoothly before telling Xiao Xuan what happened five years ago.

Xiao Yunling really didn't expect that five years had passed, and the Duansu County Lord had not reduced his vigilance against himself in the slightest.

If it weren't for the Princess Zhaoyue sitting beside her today, I was afraid that my aunt would have driven herself out of the Zhenguo Mansion at that time.

"Cousin Ling." Sister Chu looked at Xiao Yunling, who was distracted, called her once, saw that she didn't respond, and raised her voice to call her again. "Cousin Ling?"

"Hmm." Xiao Yunling hurriedly agreed, but she looked at Sister Chu'er and saw her reaction, Sister Chu should not have known about what happened five years ago. "Sister Chu, how is the relationship between the princess and Cousin Lan? I see that the princess's belly is so big, I'm afraid it won't be long before she gives birth, right? ”

"My brother and sister-in-law have always been fine." Sister Chu nodded. "My mother said that my sister-in-law will give birth in about two months, and I will be my aunt by then."

"That's right." Xiao Yunling's handsome eyebrows inevitably appeared in front of his eyes. "Does the princess often come to the house?"

"Yes, my sister-in-law will come over every once in a while." Sister Chu said. "What is Cousin Ling asking for?"

"Nothing, nothing." Xiao Yunling laughed secretly in her heart. "Let's enjoy the flowers."

"Okay." Sister Chu was ignorant, and immediately took Xiao Yunling to see the precious orchid that Emperor Liu's concubine gave her.

In the evening, Duan Shaolan, who was off duty, came to the Zhenguo Mansion.

"Brother Lan, take the princess back to the princess's mansion today." Duan Shaolan had just entered the door before he could say a few words to the Duansu County Lord, and the Duansu County Lord actually said this. "The princess is now a month old, it's time to go out less, if you are bored in the future, send someone over to say, and I will take Sister Chu and Brother Bin to talk to the princess."

Lord Duansu's reaction today is really abnormal.

Xiao Xuan subconsciously looked at Duan Shaolan who was standing beside him, Duan Shaolan held her hand, pinched it as if soothingly, and lowered his head and smiled at her.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Duan Shaolan asked. "Wouldn't you always leave us at this time on weekdays before we have dinner?"

"There is a female guest in the house today, who is inconvenient for you to meet." The county lord of Duansu has been staring at Sister Chu'er's courtyard, knowing that Xiao Yunling has been stranded and has not left the Zhenguo Mansion, she doesn't want Xiao Yunling to see Duan Shaolan again.
