"I didn't expect Cousin Yu to be very honest." Xiao Xuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard his words. "The last time I saw Cousin Yu, I really didn't see that Cousin Yu was such a person."

Mu Tingyu's words are straightforward, and there is some truth in what he said.

Ascending is easy to fall heavy, as the only remaining royal mansion with a different surname in Jokhang, everyone in Mu Wangfu knows in their hearts that Mu Wangfu will face a crisis sooner or later.

Xiao Xuan is Emperor Chu's favorite daughter, and her brother-in-law is also the prince who is most likely to sit on the throne of the East Palace in the future.

Therefore, if Mu Tingyu can really repay her and become Princess Zhaoyue's concubine, it will naturally be extremely beneficial to Mu Wangfu.

"Princess, since I have already told the reason." After Mu Tingyu took a sip of tea, he smiled and spoke. "Now it's the princess's turn to answer my questions."

"I already have someone I love." Xiao Xuan is also honest. "He is my future candidate for the horse, and my father has allowed me."

The people who came out behind Xiao Xuan were all the right-hand people around her, they were scattered and standing in and out of the pavilion, hearing what Xiao Xuan and Mu Tingyu said in the pavilion, they just stood with their eyes and nose and nose and heart. They didn't care about what the people in the pavilion said, they just guarded the outside, and didn't let idle people like Linhe listen to Xiao Xuan's words.

"When my grandmother came to tell my mother about the failure of the marriage, I roughly guessed that this was the reason." Mu Tingyu played with the empty teacup in his hand and whispered.

Before Xiao Xuan could speak, the green forest, who was originally standing outside, ran into the pavilion quickly.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"Princess, Lord Duan has come to see you." In the past two days, Duan Shaolan will take time to see Xiao Xuan every day.

Xiao Xuan originally wanted to open her mouth and tell Lu Lin to ask her to invite Duan Shaolan to come and sit down, but she thought about the eldest princess of Yongshou who was talking to Emperor Liu's concubine in the courtyard, and Mu Tingyu, who was now sitting opposite her. She didn't want Mu Tingyu to see Duan Shaolan, so as not to cause trouble.

"It seems that there are guests who are very important to the princess." Mu Tingyu's heart was as careful as hair, he carefully studied Xiao Xuan's expression, and then smiled and took the initiative to say. "It's okay to leave or right, the princess might as well invite this guest to come and sit down."

Mu Tingyu looked at Xiao Xuan playfully, Xiao Xuan was angry by him, and immediately ordered Lu Lin to welcome Duan Shaolan over.

Duan Shaolan originally thought that Xiao Xuan was the only one in the pavilion, but as soon as he walked outside the pavilion, he found that there was another person sitting opposite Xiao Xuan in the pavilion.

Duan Shaolan's eyesight was excellent, even if he was still some distance away from the two, he could still clearly see that sitting opposite Xiao Xuan was a handsome young man of her age. The young man talked to Xiao Xuan, as if he was very familiar with her,

He took a closer look at the young man's appearance and was surprised to realize that his facial features were deeper than those of ordinary Jokhang, and he should be a mixed-race child.

Duan Shaolan thought about it one or two, and when he just stepped into the pavilion, he roughly knew the identity of the young man.

In the courtyard, the eldest princess of Yongshou still did not give up and asked how the injury on the face of Emperor Xiang Liu's concubine Xiao Xuan came about.

"Mother, what are you doing about this?" Concubine Liu Huang couldn't bear the repeated questions of the eldest princess of Yongshou and begged for mercy. "Xuan'er's injuries are all healed, and now there is nothing to pursue."

"Hey, why are you a mother so big-hearted, Xuan'er is injured on her face, aren't you afraid that she will have a scar on her face?" The eldest princess of Yongshou was very dissatisfied with Emperor Liu's words, so she was really angry and reached out and knocked Emperor Liu a few times. "But if you don't say it, I can guess a few points, you don't have to think much about the people who can hurt Xuan'er in the palace, there is only that one person."

"Yes, I just thought that my mother was the smartest, and she must have a plan in her heart, so why should I open this mouth more." Concubine Liu hurriedly got up and walked behind the eldest princess of Yongshou and comforted her. "Besides, Xuan'er is my biological daughter, how can I not worry about her face scar. Her wound is healed by the doctor every day, and it is indeed almost healed. ”

"Since it was the eldest princess who injured her, why did I ask in front of Your Majesty today, but Your Majesty said that Xuan'er was injured by herself." The eldest princess of Yongshou had just calmed down, and she remembered something again. "What is the reason for this? Could it be that the eldest princess hurt my Xuan'er, and she didn't get any scolding on her. ”

As she spoke, the eldest princess of Yongshou lost her temper again, and when she saw the situation, she got up and prepared to ask for an explanation for Xiao Xuan.

"Mother, what are you going to do?" Concubine Liu hurriedly pressed her and persuaded her. "I know that my mother is distressed that Xuan'er is injured. The eldest princess has already been dealt with by Her Majesty and the Empress, and she is not young now. No matter what, Xuan'er is His Majesty's daughter, and she is also His Majesty's eldest daughter. The palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and Your Majesty can't pull her and make a cut on her face. ”

"You said that the disposition of the eldest princess was decided by His Majesty and the Empress?" The eldest princess of Yongshou sat down again, and inevitably had doubts in her heart, and asked. "What is the disposition of Celestia?"

"The eldest princess and Xuan'er have been in conflict for a long time, and I have asked Xuan'er and the other ladies of the family present in detail about the origin of the whole thing. The eldest princess did deliberately have an argument with Xuan'er that day, but she really hurt Xuan'er unintentionally. Let His Majesty deal with the eldest princess seriously for Xuan'er, I'm afraid it's not good. "Emperor Liu's concubine had to sit down and tell the eldest princess of Yongshou carefully." The queen proposed to arrange a marriage for the eldest princess, and now Her Majesty has temporarily sent someone to take care of the eldest princess. When she returns to the imperial capital in the future, the eldest princess will probably remain locked up in Yuxiu Palace until she gets married in the spring of next year. ”

The eldest princess of Yongshou listened to it and did not speak for a while.

"Mother, even Xuan'er has nothing to say about this disposition." Concubine Liu said with a smile. "The conflict between the two sisters has been going on for a long time, and His Majesty has scolded and scolded, and the closure has also been closed, but it can't be eased. We can only think about waiting for the two of them to get married and live in their own princess mansions, so that we will not have the opportunity to meet. When they get older, maybe they'll be better. ”

Emperor Liu's concubine only acquiesced in the disposition made by Emperor Chu and the empress.

She knows Emperor Chu's temperament, even if Emperor Chu was forced to send Xiao Lu to Famen Temple at that time, if Xiao Lu's life was really delayed, Emperor Chu would feel guilty about Xiao Lu.

In this way, it is better for their mother and daughter to take the initiative to back down.

"I see what you mean." The eldest princess of Yongshou looked at Emperor Liu's concubine and let out a long sigh. "Do you know whose family the queen found for the eldest princess?"

"The queen didn't say it that day, and His Majesty didn't ask about it, so it was naturally inconvenient for me to continue to ask." Emperor Liu said. "The eldest princess is the eldest daughter of His Majesty, and His Majesty values children, and the queen who wants to come to the eldest princess is definitely a decent family."

"I'm afraid it's not just that, the eldest princess is nearly twenty years old and has not yet decided to marry, and there are very few children of famous families in the imperial capital who are of the right age but have not yet married, just those three or five candidates." The eldest princess of Yongshou thought about it for a while, and suddenly thought of something. "Among these candidates, if I am the queen, I have a good idea of who I will choose."

"Mother, say it quickly." Emperor Liu urged.

"The eldest princess is the eldest daughter of His Majesty, and the concubine naturally can't be too bad. The widowers who are famous and widowers who have lost their wives and their concubines, in order to be good in His Majesty, the queen will not use these people as candidates for the eldest princess. The eldest princess of Yongshou said firmly. With such a person, the queen can not only facilitate this marriage effortlessly, but also continue to disgust Xuan'er in the future. ”

Emperor Liu's concubine was mentioned by the eldest princess of Yongshou, and a name quickly flashed in her heart.

"Mother said that no one is 。。。。。。" Emperor Liu's concubine wanted to speak and stopped.

"It's the person you thought of, the third son of the prince of Zhenguo." The eldest princess of eternal life said. "The eldest princess will get married before Xuan'er, waiting for Xuan'er to marry Duan Shaolan in a few years. When the time came, everyone in the imperial capital saw that her sisters had married into a family and became concubines. But the eldest princess married the third son of the prince, but our Xuan'er married the concubine of the prince of Zhenguo. ”

Concubine Liu Huang gasped.

"No wonder, in the past two or three years, for the marriage of the eldest princess, Concubine Chen doesn't know how many times she has begged the queen, but she doesn't see the queen willing to come forward." Emperor Liu Guifei figured out the front and rear joints, and couldn't help but be angry in her heart. "After Zhenguo Gong entered the palace, the queen suddenly became kind, not only came forward to protect the eldest princess in front of His Majesty, but also took the initiative to arrange a marriage for her."

"The queen may not want Xuan'er to marry Duan Shaolan, how can she be willing to let the rare child in the family marry your daughter, but she can't stand the fact that the Zhenguo Mansion is not her brother's business now, as long as the Zhenguo Duke agrees to this marriage. Even if she is the queen, it is impossible for her to break up this marriage. The eldest princess of Yongshou also said angrily. So she found another way, and the eldest princess was naturally the best chess piece in her hand. The eldest princess's marriage was already difficult to decide, and she came forward to solve her marriage, which not only benefited her in front of His Majesty, but also allowed the eldest princess to continue to pester Xuan'er in the days to come. ”

"Sit down." Xiao Xuan looked at Duan Shaolan, who was gradually approaching, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. "This is the third son of King Mu's mansion, Mu Tingyu, my aunt's child."

"I've seen the third son." After listening to Xiao Xuan's introduction, Duan Shaolan did not rush to sit down, but stood down and bowed his hand.

"Looking at the flying fish suit on this Lord Duan, it must be that he is serving in the pennant guard." Mu Tingyu also smiled and beckoned him to sit down, and said. "Although I was born in the Mu Palace, I don't have a title or a court position, so Lord Duan doesn't need to be so polite."
