Concubine Liu Huang has grown up in the powerful circle of the imperial capital since she was a child, and she herself is not a brainless favorite concubine who only relies on her appearance.

Because she felt sorry for Xiao Xuan, she temporarily agreed to her affair with Duan Shaolan.

But the reason why she agreed to this matter was not just because she felt sorry for Xiao Xuan.

Now that the five princes under the knee of Emperor Chu are all adults, there have been officials in the court in the past two years, asking Emperor Chu if he has the intention of becoming a prince. Emperor Chu didn't speak, but just ignored those excerpts who begged Emperor Chu to become a prince.

Although Emperor Chu did not say that he wanted to establish a prince, he did not let the five princes sit idle in the mansion, and each sent an errand for them to do.

When the courtiers saw this, they were a little scheming and started their team.

Among the candidates for the throne, Emperor Chu had no sons-in-law, and the most sought after by the courtiers were none other than the second prince adopted by the empress and the eldest prince born to Emperor Liu's concubine.

Xiao Yu and Concubine Liu Huang had already reached a consensus that they would not use Xiao Xuan to win over help.

However, Xiao Xuan's choice of the horse was Duan Shaolan in the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion, and in order to convince her, Emperor Liu Guifei found a reason for herself.

The eldest princess of Yongshou is even more enlightened about the growth of her children, just like when Emperor Liu's concubine entered the palace, even if she was no longer willing to let her youngest daughter enter the palace, she still fulfilled her wish in the end.

There is only one granddaughter like Xiao Xuan who grew up in front of her, and the only hope of the eldest princess of Yongshou for Xiao Xuan's future is to hope that she will have a smooth marriage and a happy life.

But although the eldest daughter's request is a little selfish, it is also reasonable.

Xiao Xuan was born in the royal family and enjoyed the glory and wealth that ordinary people could not expect in their lives, and her marriage could not break free from this circle at all.

However, Xiao Xuan was reluctant to marry Mu Tingyu, but fell in love with Duan Shaolan.

In contrast, if Xiao Xuan's marriage finally escapes a few calculations, she would rather let Xiao Xuan marry Duan Shaolan than Mu Tingyu, at least Xiao Xuan likes Duan Shaolan.

Besides, the dispute between the descendants of the Zhenguo Mansion over the years has been seen by anyone.

The lineage of the heirs is the queen and the prince respectively, but the queen did not give birth to a son for Emperor Chu, and the prince is full of gentleness and has no achievements in his career, but he is obsessed with beauty, constantly accepts concubines, and gives birth to a yard of concubines and concubines.

On the other hand, Duan Chengwen of the concubine not only made a living, but also treated other concubines and younger brothers and sisters well, and married the Duansu county lord who was born in the real power palace as his wife. Although Duan Chengwen does not have many heirs under his knees, Duan Shaolan and Sister Chu are pleasing to him.

Zhenguo Gong was disappointed in his two children, and he didn't necessarily sit firmly in the position of the son of Zhenguo Gong's son.

A few years ago, the former secretary of the ministry was old and went back to his hometown to retire. Duan Chengwen, who had served in the Ministry of Officials for many years, was naturally promoted to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Officials.

Waiting for Xiao Xuan to marry Duan Shaolan, maybe the position of the son of the world will fall to Duan Chengwen's father and son.

Zhenguo Gong is old, maybe the next Zhenguo Gong will be biased towards Xiao Yu.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, but after all, Princess Mu and Mu Tingyu are not in front of them all the year round, compared to Concubine Liuhuang and Xiao Yu, Xiao Jun, and Xiao Xuanlai, the eldest princess of Yongshou will inevitably be more biased towards the latter.

Princess Mu is worried about the future of Mu Wangfu, but as long as Mu Wangfu does not have different intentions and stands upright, and Mu Wangfu has guarded Saibei for many years, no monarch will tamper with Mu Wangfu.

In the future, if Xiao Yu succeeds in ascending to that position, Mu Wangfu will have a little more security.

Therefore, even if Mu Tingyu can't be the master, staying in the imperial capital is the best plan.

Besides, if he stays in the imperial capital and can get along with Xiao Yu and Xiao Jun's two cousins, it will only be good for him, not bad.

"You're right." The eldest princess of Yongshou turned a corner, and her mood calmed down a lot compared to when she first came. "Just fulfill Xuan'er's wish, the child from the Zhenguo Mansion also came to my mansion with the Duansu County Lord in the early years, and he looks good, but he is also worthy of Xuan'er."

"yes. In fact, when His Majesty allowed him to enter the palace to study, it was not just for the sake of the face of the county lord of Duansu. Emperor Liu Guifei smiled and echoed the words of the eldest princess of Yongshou. When he first entered the palace, His Majesty also specially instructed me to instruct Yu'er and Jun'er to treat him well, thinking that His Majesty could see that he was like his father and had good qualifications, so he deliberately made him friends with Yu'er and Jun'er, and Yu'er will also have many help around him in the future. ”

"When you say that, I think about it, that kid joined the pennant guard two years ago, right?"

"Yes, two years ago, the Duke of Zhenguo personally entered the palace and asked for His Majesty's permission to seal him to join the Banner Guard." Emperor Liu said. "He has made meritorious contributions many times, and only a few days ago he became a thousand households. Among the children of the same age as him, he is relatively outstanding. ”

"Well, the important thing is that Xuan'er likes him." The eldest princess of eternal life compromised. "I know it's not good for you to talk to your eldest sister about this, so let me talk to her."

"Thank you, Mother." In fact, the purpose of Emperor Liu's invitation to the eldest princess of Yongshou into the palace is this, she really can't open this mouth to refuse Princess Mu, so she can only convey it to the eldest princess of Yongshou on her behalf. "Please also ask my mother to bring a message to the eldest sister for me, if she will still leave Brother Yu in the imperial capital, I will handle all the marriage of Brother Yu for him in the future, and I will ask Your Majesty for a marriage."

"Okay, I got it." The eldest princess of Yongshou should make up for this.

Thinking that even if Mu Tingyu and Xiao Xuan's marriage fails, Princess Mu will have a great chance of leaving Mu Tingyu in the imperial capital to marry and have children. Emperor Liu's concubine personally came forward to Zhang Luo, and then asked Emperor Chu for a marriage will, which is a very good thing.

After the mother and daughter agreed on the matter, Emperor Liu's concubine sent someone to invite Xiao Xuan back, and Xiao Xuan sat directly next to the eldest princess of Yongshou after she came back, holding her arm affectionately.

"Our Xuan'er has really grown up." The eldest princess of Yongshou caressed Xiao Xuan's cheek and couldn't help but feel very emotional. "I still remember Xuan'er when she was born, like a kitten, so soft that people don't dare to hold it."

"yes." Concubine Liu Huang also sighed in her heart. "It's like a blink of an eye, and the children have grown up."

"But Xuan'er is only in her early fifteens, did Your Majesty say how old Xuan'er would be to give marriage?" The eldest princess of eternal life asked.

"Your Majesty is reluctant to give up Xuan'er, and will stay with Xuan'er for a few more years." Concubine Liu said with a smile.

"That's okay, it's not uncommon for royal princesses to marry late." The eldest princess of Yongshou thought for a while and said. "But Zhenguogong's child is not young anymore, and after a year or two, Xuan'er can also be used."

"Yes." Emperor Liu said. "We'll see when the time comes."

Xiao Xuan sent the eldest princess of Yongshou to the gate of Yihua Palace.

"Grandmother." Xiao Xuan held the hand of the eldest princess of eternal life and said. "Thank you for coming to the palace."

"Good boy." The eldest princess of Yongshou looked at Xiao Xuan lovingly. "No matter who you marry in the future, my grandmother just wants you to be happy."

The dilemma in my heart has been solved, and the current heat seems to be no longer difficult for Xiao Xuan, who has always been bitter in summer.

Duan Shaolan has now risen to a thousand households, and he no longer needs to do such an errand as a palace guard, so he had to ask Xiao Jun to help and bring a brocade box to Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Jun had no choice but to go into the palace and hand over the brocade box to Xiao Xuan.

"Come on, serve me tea to my sixth brother." Xiao Xuan held the brocade box, feeling sweet in his heart. "Now that the sun is so strong, I still have to work for the sixth brother to make this trip."

"Happy, aren't you?" Xiao Jun picked up the noon slot, the sun was the biggest outside, Lu Lin brought tea over, he immediately drank it all in one gulp, but he was still unsatisfied, Lu Lin was busy and filled him with a cup.

"Hmm." Xiao Xuan's cheeks were slightly red, and he nodded shyly.

"It's really rare to see you look so shy." Xiao Jun teased her sister. "Right now, I'm afraid that you can't wait for your father to get married quickly, right?"

"I'm not in such a hurry." Xiao Xuan knew that he was deliberately teasing her, and he didn't take the bait. "Recently, my father gave me some new jewelry made in Si Zhenfang, the style is new, I picked a few things and ordered someone to put them in a box, and gave them to the sixth brother to take back to please the sixth sister-in-law."

"Okay, then you quickly order someone to bring it." Xiao Jun took it with a grin, and asked Xiao Xuan for his share of the thank you gift. "Just know how to send something to your sixth sister-in-law, do you know what happened this time, how much heart did your sixth brother and I worry about for you, don't you have anything to give me?"

"Knowing that the sixth brother would want it, I have already prepared it for the sixth brother." Xiao Xuan covered her mouth and said with a smile. "But this thing can't be reached by the sixth brother now."

"How?"

"Doesn't the sixth brother like horses? I specially asked Ning Guiren to write a letter home and ask her people to choose the best horses for you. "The tribe to which Ning Guiren belongs is a nomadic people, who are good at raising and taming horses, and now more than half of the war horses in Dazhao are supplied by her tribe.

Xiao Jun still had an errand on his hands, and after drinking a few cups of tea with Xiao Xuan, he hurriedly left the palace.

Xiao Xuan returned to his dormitory and opened the brocade box.

The brocade box was opened, and a pair of jade bracelets and a jade hairpin were placed inside.

The jade bracelet and jade hairpin are made of red jade, looking at the texture in the jade, it looks like a piece of jade material.

Xiao Xuan threw away the brocade box, put on the jade bracelet, walked to the dressing table and sat down to take off the original hairpin on his head, and took the red jade hairpin instead.

"Green Forest, is it pretty?" Xiao Xuan took a self-portrait in the mirror, and he couldn't say what he wanted in his heart.

In fact, it is not for nothing that Xiao Xuan's makeup box has better jewelry than this jade hairpin and jade bracelet.

"Well, it's good." But the joy in Xiao Xuan's eyes, where could the green forest not see it, she nodded again and again. "The princess is white-skinned, and it is most suitable for such a red color."

In the evening, when Xiao Xuan went to Concubine Liuhuang for dinner, Concubine Liu also noticed the changes on Xiao Xuan's head and wrists.

"I really like him that much." The joy in the corners of Xiao Xuan's eyes and eyebrows, Emperor Liu's concubine naturally reacted and knew the origin of the jade hairpin and jade bracelet. "You haven't had much contact with it all these years, huh?"

"Like is like." Xiao Xuan gently stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, and the corners of her mouth curled. "I can't tell why."
