After Xiao Xuan boarded the carriage, Duan Shaolan led his horse from the knee of a tree in front of the temple gate, lifted the hem of his shirt and turned over neatly on the horse.

Xiao Xuan's carriage walked up, and Duan Shaolan rode a horse and followed the side of the carriage.

Along the way, Duan Shaolan quietly followed the carriage, and the carriage also walked slowly, and from time to time a gust of wind blew through the curtain and was blown up, Xiao Xuan could see Duan Shaolan outside as long as he turned his head sideways.

"Princess, the slave looks at you and likes to talk to Young Master Duan." Lu Lin noticed Xiao Xuan's small movements and whispered to her.

"Well, don't say it, looking at a good-looking person, even he feels very pleasant to speak." Xiao Xuan was talking, Duan Shaolan outside the carriage happened to look over, and Xiao Xuan's face couldn't help but show a big smile. "Besides, he has a good relationship with my sixth brother, and I don't have anything to talk to him."

"But fortunately, the carriage we rode in today did not have a royal badge, otherwise if someone else saw it, I don't know what to say?" Dan Tang is steady, and he always thinks more than Xiao Xuan.

"What's there to say?" Xiao Xuan said disappreciatively. "How old am I, what can I do for others to discuss."

"The princess is not young, the ladies of the general family are usually ten years old, and the elders of the family will start to choose someone for them." Because of Dantang's steady and governor's temperament, Emperor Liu's concubine specially picked her to serve Xiao Xuan beside her.

Palace maids like Dan Tang and Lu Lin who are the same age as Xiao Xuan have all grown up with her, and if there is no accident in the future, after Xiao Xuan gets married and has her own princess mansion, Dan Tang and Lu Lin will most likely follow her out of the palace together.

In the future, he married the right-hand man of the princess's mansion, and he will wait by Xiao Xuan's side for the rest of his life.

The more such people are, if they want to accompany Xiao Xuan for the rest of their lives, they have to be carefully selected.

When Xiao Xuan was five years old, Emperor Liu's concubine personally looked at the hundreds of little palace maids selected by the Internal Affairs Office, and then selected Dan Tang and Lu Lin. Accompanying Xiao Xuan to play and read, Dan Tang and Green Forest can read and hyphenate, and ordinary ladies outside are easily unable to compare to them.

"Dan Tang, I think he's pretty good." Xiao Xuan looked at Duan Shaolan, but he became more and more satisfied. "If I can't meet a better one in the future, I might as well go and ask my father to let him be my concubine. People say that my sister-in-law is difficult, I like Sister Chu, and it would be good if she was my sister-in-law. ”

"Princess, don't talk nonsense, if these words fall into the ears of the imperial concubine, the princess will be ignorant." Dan Tang was taken aback by Xiao Xuan's blurted out words, for fear that Duan Shaolan outside and the palace maids and chamberlains waiting for him would hear her words, and they couldn't wait to jump up and cover Xiao Xuan's mouth. "The princess is His Majesty's favorite daughter, and when the princess chooses a colt for the princess in the future, will the princess still be selected by the young talents in the world?"

If you talk about it, the appearance and talent of Young Master Duan outside the carriage are all the best. It's just that there are some flaws on the body, although the Zhenguo Mansion is the queen mother's mother's family is very noble, but this Young Master Duan is just the son of the concubine in the Zhenguo Mansion. Besides, the queen mother and the imperial concubine only maintain a superficial harmony, and in private, for the honor of His Majesty, as well as the battle for the throne between the eldest prince and the second prince, they have already turned their faces. No matter what Young Master Duan said, he is the nephew of the queen mother, how could the imperial concubine let the princess marry such a young master.

"Don't worry, I'm measured, and people outside can't hear me." Xiao Xuan said with his head held high. "As long as you and Lulin don't go back to Yihua Palace, go to my mother's concubine to report to God, no one will know what is in the carriage today."

Xiao Xuan spoke well, but he didn't expect to be listened to by Duan Shaolan outside.

Speaking of which, Xiao Xuan's voice is indeed not loud, but Duan Shaolan is naturally more sensitive than others. Therefore, what Xiao Xuan said in the carriage just now, the few palace maids and chamberlains who followed the carriage outside really didn't hear it, but Duan Shaolan could hear it sentence by sentence.

When he heard Xiao Xuan say that he wanted him to be a colt, Duan Shaolan's face, which was originally like a piece of beautiful jade, instantly turned red.

The carriage entered the city, and after walking for a while, Duan Shaolan suddenly approached the carriage and raised his hand to buckle the wall of the carriage a few times.

"What's wrong?" Dan Tang heard the movement, and just wanted to stop Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan had already opened his mouth.

"There is a shop in front of you, which is the most famous dim sum shop in the imperial capital." Duan Shaolan knew that Xiao Xuan was a simple follower, but he didn't want everyone to know about her leaving the palace, and he didn't call her a princess when he stepped forward to speak. "The things in it are not as exquisite as the imperial dining room in the palace, but they have a different flavor, and they are often visited by dignitaries in the imperial capital."

When Duan Shaolan was also chatting with Xiao Jun, he heard Xiao Jun accidentally mention that Xiao Xuan likes to eat snacks when he is a child, and he especially prefers sweet and sour.

"Really?" Sure enough, after hearing Duan Shaolan's words, but after a while, the curtain on the side of the carriage was lifted from the inside, and Xiao Xuan came out and asked.

"Nature is true." Duan Shaolan looked at her and said.

"Oh, then I'll have to try it." Xiao Xuan turned around and said something to the green forest and dantang in the carriage, and after a while, he said to Duan Shaolan with a little reluctance. "I'm afraid I won't be able to taste it this time, and I'm in a hurry to come out today, and I didn't bring any money with me. It's better to wait for my sixth brother to leave the palace next time and ask him to bring me some back. ”

Xiao Xuan said as he shook his head and sighed with pity.

"In the past, you always sent someone to bring toys and snacks to Sister Chu." Duan Shaolan lowered his eyes, then raised his head again, looked at Xiao Xuan and said. "I am Sister Chu'er's brother, and I should return the gift for her. Let me give you some today. ”

Dan Tang in the carriage looked at Xiao Xuan's appearance of being a little moved by Duan Shaolan's words, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Xuan's sleeve and shook his head at her.

But Xiao Xuan seemed to be unable to see her movements, and agreed with her mouth.

"Then I'll go in and pick some for you, and you can wait for me for a while." Duan Shaolan saw Xiao Xuan nodding with a smile, so he turned over and dismounted.

"Hey, wait a minute." Xiao Xuan was lying by the car window, only thinking that Duan Shaolan's posture of turning over and dismounting was very good-looking, and she suddenly stopped Duan Shaolan. "I haven't visited the store you mentioned, you wait for me to go down, and I'll go down with you to have a look."

"Princess, this is a busy city, and the flow of people is mixed." Dan Tang was not at ease, and hurriedly signaled the green forest on the side to stop Xiao Xuan with her, and said to her. "We left the palace in a hurry this time, and we didn't leave the palace with the accompanying guards. Famen Temple is a royal temple, and it is better for the princess not to show up on such occasions as the downtown area. ”

"Oh, it doesn't matter. I saw that the city was full of ordinary people, who would recognize who I was? Xiao Xuan didn't follow, and insisted on going down to have a look.

"It's that others don't recognize the princess that they need to pay more attention, what if there is a long-sighted collision with the princess?" Dan Tang still persuaded.

"Oh, you've been stopping me like this for a long time, and it's even more eye-catching for our carriage to stop in the middle of the road." Xiao Xuan straightened up. "After I go down, just let the green forest follow me, and you let the carriage pull over."

Xiao Xuan finished speaking, got up and got out of the carriage.

Duan Shaolan waited on the side of the carriage for a while, and waited for Xiao Xuan, who opened the curtain and wanted to get out of the carriage.

The eyes of the two collided, and Xiao Xuan smiled at him and stretched out his hand to him.

"The carriage is high, can you help me down?"

Duan Shaolan didn't speak, just took two steps forward and stretched out his arm. Seeing this, Xiao Xuan put her hand on Duan Shaolan's arm, and Duan Shaolan helped her get out of the carriage safely.

The two of them walked side by side towards the shop, and the mandarin on the carriage pushed the green forest that was stunned in place, and motioned for her to hurry up and wait.

As soon as I entered the store, the light was very good, and the whole store looked very bright.

The plates with all kinds of snacks and sweets are all blue and white on a white background, and the contrast is dazzling in the colors of various foods, and it looks very appetizing.

"I haven't been here and I don't know the taste." Xiao Xuan was dazzled, and simply said to Duan Shaolan. "I think you like a frequent visitor, so you can pick it for me, okay?"

"It's good." Duan Shaolan responded with a smile.

The shop is also unique, with customers who can choose from a specific type of candy or confectionery, or they can take a small box made of exquisite bamboo weaving and fill it with a variety of flavors.

According to Xiao Xuan's taste, Duan Shaolan picked two small boxes in his hand, filled them to the brim, and after paying the money, he sent them to Xiao Xuan.

Lu Lin, who was following Xiao Xuan's side, just wanted to step forward and take the things that Duan Shaolan handed over, but Xiao Xuan had already stretched out his hand to take it.

"Thank you." Xiao Xuan held up the small box, and she smelled a trace of sweet and sour aroma through the gap between the bamboo silks, which smelled very delicious.

Xiao Xuan personally took the small box back to the front of the carriage and handed it to the dantang left on the carriage, and after taking it, he returned to collect it for Xiao Xuan.

Lu Lin wanted to help Xiao Xuan get into the carriage, Duan Shaolan had already stretched out his arm again, Xiao Xuan would directly support his arm, and then he used his strength to board the carriage smoothly.

Duan Shaolan rode his horse all the way to Xiao Xuan's carriage to a short distance outside the palace gate before stopping his horse.

"Not far ahead is the palace gate." Duan Shaolan clenched his fists and said. "I'll send the princess here."

"Well, you can go back." Xiao Xuan probed out and said to him.

The carriage drove slowly into the palace gate, and gradually walked away, until it was no longer visible.

Duan Shaolan still stood where he was, waiting for Xiao Xuan's carriage to be seen again, and then turned his horse's head and walked back.
