Concubine Chen said this while observing Xiao Lu's expression.

"Why is the concubine looking at me like this?" Concubine Chen's movements naturally fell into Xiao Lu's eyes, and she said with a smile. "What happened to Xiao Xuan at my flower banquet, I definitely have to care about her situation. Wouldn't it be best if she was fine? ”

Early the next morning, after Deng Ting said goodbye to Concubine Chen and Xiao Lu, she was sent out of the palace by Concubine Chen.

"In the future, you have your own mansion, remember to bring Sister Ting more outside the palace." Concubine Chen watched Deng Ting leave Yuxiu Palace with others, and turned her head to Xiao Lu beside her and said. "Your aunt's two sisters-in-law died early, Sister Ting was raised by her, and your cousin also respects her as a mother-in-law. Although the Ding'an Hou Mansion is in decline, your aunt still has some connections in the imperial capital. I know that because of your grandmother's strong interference in your marriage, you are a little resistant to the Ding'an Hou Mansion. But now that your grandmother is gone, your aunt and cousin are sensible people, and you can contact them with confidence. ”

Concubine Chen and Xiao Lu talked about this, looking at the palace walls from afar, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Mother, I see." Xiao Xuan glanced at Concubine Chen, and saw that tears were shining in her eyes. "Mother, I will come back to the palace more often in the future to see you."

"You don't have to worry about me, I have no favor in the palace, and I only have a daughter like you under my knees, and my life is pure." Concubine Chen looked at her daughter who was about to get married. "In the future, you don't have to enter the palace often, so you have to live in your princess's mansion and the concubine, and if you have children early, your mother will be at ease."

Xiao Lu didn't answer, just followed Concubine Caichen's gaze and looked at the palace wall.

It won't be long before she can step beyond the walls of this palace.

"Mother, do you regret entering the palace?" Xiao Lu opened her mouth coldly. "The mother concubine was originally the concubine of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and she could have been a wife?"

"Do you regret it?" Concubine Chen lowered her head and said secretly. "The concubine has no regrets."

"Really?" Xiao Lu stared at Concubine Chen with burning eyes, as if she didn't believe her.

"Really." Concubine Chen raised her head and said with a smile. "Regret is the most useless thing, so anything is over, there is nothing to regret. When I was not married, the Ding'an Hou Mansion had begun to decline, and some of your grandmother's maiden family was far away in the South China Sea. Fortunately, after I served Your Majesty, your uncle got an idle position, but your uncle was not angry, and when he arrived, he lost that idle position. ”

Concubine Chen grew up beside her strong mother since she was a child, and the old lady of Ding'an Marquis favored sons over daughters, and valued sons who could inherit the title of Marquis of Ding'an, and her own daughters and granddaughters were the same, and only relatives could be used.

Xiao Lu is fortunate to be a princess of the royal family, no matter how she falls, she is a wife after all. Even for the sake of royal face, no one who marries her will dare to treat her lightly. But Concubine Chen is different, she has no favor, she can only rely on the queen to survive, and her mother's family has no help.

"Mother, my daughter has worried you all these years." Seeing that she was about to get married, Xiao Lu really saw through many things.

At that time, her maternal grandmother interfered in her marriage, and what she wanted was to rely on her to keep the Ding'an Marquis Mansion and the next generation or even two generations could inherit the throne on an equal footing. Now the queen is personally interfering in her marriage, but it is just to tie up her maiden town.

She could join forces with the prince of Ding'an Hou to get rid of the old lady of Ding'an, but she didn't have the guts to get rid of the queen again.

Back then, she still had a hope in her heart, but that person had already married a wife and had children in her heart. Now that she is over twenty years old, looking coldly at the imperial capital, Duan Shaoyou is already the best person she can choose.

"Good boy, I don't know how happy I am to get such a sentence from you." Concubine Chen was so relieved that she touched Xiao Lu's hair and said with a smile. "If there is, the concubine can only tell you now. You also remember that in the future, you will not enter the palace again, and you will not listen, look at, or care about anything related to the prince, and be your princess in peace, and then be the eldest princess and the eldest princess in the future, just take care of yourself. ”

Although Concubine Chen relied on the queen, she had her own views on the dispute between the second prince and the eldest prince.

As long as the princess is not involved in court disputes, the emperors of all dynasties will treat the princess well.

Xiao Lu wants to live her life well, so she can't get involved in this matter.

"I understand what the concubine means." Xiao Lu understands, she also knows the personality of the second prince.

The eldest prince and the second prince are not her brothers-in-law, but the eldest prince's temperament is similar to that of Emperor Chu.

But the second prince is different, everything is only based on interests.

"Alright, you can go back and rest." Concubine Chen said. "There are only a few days left, and I have to get a dowry for you here. Your father was annoyed with you, but good things were still brought to Yuxiu Palace and a dowry was added to you. You remember to go to thank you and get closer to your father. ”

"Well, my daughter wrote it down." Xiao Lu also knew in his heart that even between himself and Xiao Xuan, Emperor Chu was mostly partial to Xiao Xuan, but as long as he didn't make mistakes, at least on Emperor Chu's side, Xiao Xuan had something for himself.

Xiao Xuan is fortunate to have a maternal grandmother who is the eldest princess.

"Knowing that you have a knot in your heart for Princess Zhaoyue, the mother concubine will not force you to befriend her." Seeing that Xiao Lu responded to her instructions one by one, Concubine Chen couldn't help but add a sentence. "Your father knows very well in his heart that it is indeed difficult for you two sisters to get close, as long as you don't keep it in the open."

"Don't worry, mother." Xiao Xuan nodded. "In the future, after she and I get married, we won't have much chance to meet each other."

"It's best if you think so."

Emperor Chu's side, about Xiao Xuan's overboard, because Xiao Xuan was the princess, and the place where the accident happened was the imperial garden of the harem, Emperor Chu did not hand over this matter to Jinqiwei for investigation, but handed it over to Wu Chuan to handle.

According to Emperor Chu's instructions, Wu Chuan asked the relevant people one by one, and sent people to investigate carefully on the shore where Xiao Xuan had an accident.

Emperor Chu ordered Wu Chuan to go to Yihua Palace to inform Emperor Liu and Xiao Xuan of what he had found, and Xiao Xuan, who was on the sickbed, laughed after listening to what Wu Chuan said.

"When I woke up, I told my mother that I fell into the water should have been just an accident, but my mother and my father didn't believe me, and they also worked as a waiter in Wunei." Xiao Xuan said to Wu Chuan with a smile, and asked Dan Tang to step forward and hand a bulging purse to Wu Chuan. "This is my thank you gift, and I ask the waiter Wu Nei to accept it."

"Where is Her Royal Highness the Princess, Your Majesty's orders are related to the safety of Your Highness, and the old slave should do everything, and he has also received a reward from His Highness." Wu Chuan calmly accepted the purse.

"I am now being watched by my mother, and I can't go to my father to disturb me for the time being. I also hope that the Wu Nei attendant will bring a message to my father for me, and when I am better, I will go to my father to say goodbye. My own accident made my father worry about me. ”

Wu Chuan left, but Concubine Liuhuang, who was standing at the head of Xiao Xuan's bed, did not speak.

"What's wrong with the concubine?" Xiao Xuan looked at Emperor Liu's concubine and asked. "You haven't been talking?"

"What can I say, didn't you tell Wu Chuan what should be said?" Concubine Liu Huang glanced at Xiao Xuan on the bed.

"The mother said this." Xiao Xuan has been carefully raised for a few days, and his complexion has recovered a lot, and his cheeks are still flushed with a faint red. "Isn't it the best outcome that I fell overboard as an accident?"

"You can see it clearly." Emperor Liu said.

Originally, she was afraid that the eldest princess of Yongshou would be worried, so she didn't let her know about Xiao Xuan's falling into the water.

But when Xiao Xuan fell into the water that day, there were many young ladies from the family, and within a few days, Xiao Xuan's two aunts learned about it when they went out to foreign affairs.

The eldest princess of Yongshou, who knew about this, immediately entered the palace.

The two aunts supported the eldest princess of Yongshou and went directly into Xiao Xuan's palace, and before Xiao Xuan could speak, she was hugged by the eldest princess of eternal life heartbrokenly, and her heart and liver had to be rubbed.

"My poor Xuan'er." Xiao Xuan's body, the eldest princess of eternal life understands, lazy Xiao Xuan is in her arms, the eldest princess of eternal life is so distressed that she wipes tears. "What a sin you have to suffer if you fall into the water in such weather!"

Concubine Liu Huang hurried over, and was counted down by the eldest princess of Yongshou, saying that she should not hide Xiao Xuan's accident.

"Grandmother, don't talk about the concubine." Xiao Xuan saw that Emperor Liu's concubine was counted, and hurriedly interceded for her. "Although I fell into the water, I was rescued in time, and my body was fine. Originally, I was afraid of my grandmother, so I didn't tell my grandmother. ”

"My daughter's body is most afraid of the cold, and your body is already poor. I'm afraid that I won't be able to see the consequences for a while, and what will be the impact in the future," the eldest princess of Yongshou couldn't stop crying. "Tomorrow my grandmother will bring in some warm things, you remember to eat every day."

"Mother, are these missing in the palace?" Emperor Liu said. "Besides, it's too much, but it's not good for Xuan'er."

"Hmph." The eldest princess of Yongshou became more stingy as she got older, and snorted directly, ignoring the words of Emperor Liu.

The eldest princess of Yongshou hugged Xiao Xuan and continued to ask, so that Xiao Xuan could tell her the reason for the matter.

The He family and the Ouyang family simply pulled Liu Huang Guifei to sit aside and talk.

"Why was it just an accident?" The eldest princess of Yongshou listened to Xiao Xuan tell the origin of the matter. "Xuan'er was fine when she went out, why did she fall into the water as soon as she went to the Imperial Garden?!"

"Mother, this matter was sent by His Majesty to Wu Chuan to investigate, and it was confirmed that it was just an accident." Concubine Liu explained.

"Yes, grandmother." Xiao Xuan also grabbed the sleeve of the eldest princess of Yongshou. "I said at the time that my falling into the water was just an accident, and my father didn't believe it, so he sent Wu Nei's attendants to check it carefully before confirming it."
