In the courtyard outside the palace where Xiao Xuan lives, because Xiao Xuan is very popular with the children of the younger generation, when the princesses return to the palace, the children will find Xiao Xuan to play with her. There are several swings in her yard, and there are various toys on the ground.

King Yujun took his younger brothers to play in the yard, and Xiao Xuan took two little girls to sit under the porch and eat snacks.

"Little aunt, I want a snack." The youngest daughter of the sixth prince sat on Xiao Xuan's lap, with her little hands open, and asked Xiao Xuan to get another piece of snack.

"This is the last piece." Xiao Xuan took a handkerchief to wipe the dim sum crumbs off the corner of her mouth, and then handed another piece of dim sum and put it in the palm of her hand. "In a little while, my little aunt will have to take you to Grandmother's for lunch."

The little girl sat obediently on Xiao Xuan's body, holding a snack and eating it like a little squirrel. After listening to Xiao Xuan's words, he nodded.

Towards evening, the eldest princess and the sixth princess left the palace with their children and returned to the palace.

Xiao Xuan, who had been playing crazy with the children for a day, was so tired that she couldn't lift her arms.

"Alright, sit up." After having dinner with Emperor Liu's concubine, the palace maids brought tea to rinse their mouths, and Xiao Xuan couldn't wait to lie down. "Today I know that you are tired, you can go back to your temple later, and rest early in the evening."

"Hmm." Xiao Xuan got up. "Mother, then I'll go back first."

"Well, go ahead."

Xiao Xuan walked for a while, and someone came from the palace, saying that Emperor Chu would arrive in a while, and asked Emperor Liu to prepare to take over.

When Emperor Liu's concubine heard the news, she redressed herself and waited for Emperor Chu outside the palace.

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty." Emperor Liu's concubine waited for a long time, and saw Emperor Chu walking into Yihua Palace.

Seeing this, Emperor Liu's concubine immediately lifted her skirt and walked down the steps quickly to greet Emperor Chu.

"No need to be polite, get up." When Emperor Chu saw that Emperor Liu was about to salute, he immediately stretched out his hand to hold her arm, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile. "It's still early, why don't you see Xuan'er?"

It's summer, it's getting dark, and when Emperor Chu comes, it's the time when the sunset fills the sky.

"Today, the eldest princess and the sixth princess came into the palace with the children, she took them to play for a day, and she was too tired to do it at dinner." Emperor Liu's concubine also grabbed Emperor Chu's arm with her backhand and said. "The concubine saw that she couldn't stand it anymore, so she let her go back to rest first."

"Xuan'er is a child king, and the children of the fourth and fifth families are also very affectionate when they see her." When Emperor Chu talked about Xiao Xuanlai, his eyes were full of smiles. "Well, when she was just born, she was like a weak kitten, and the first time I held her, I was afraid that one would accidentally pinch her body. Now that she's grown up, she looks like you, she looks like me, and she looks so good. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the concubine was sick when she was pregnant with her, Xuan'er wouldn't have been raised badly in the womb. Fortunately, although she was weaker when she was a child, she has grown up safely now. Now that the ceremony has been done, it's a big girl. Emperor Liu's concubine sat down with Emperor Chu, the palace maid brought tea over, and Emperor Liu's concubine got up and took it personally, and tested the temperature with the back of her hand before handing it to Emperor Chu.

"yes." Emperor Chu had dinner, it was the Yihua Palace that walked all the way from the Lingyun Palace, and when he was a little thirsty, he took the tea cup and drank it all. "Now the princes are all married, and only my two daughters are left."

"Your Majesty said yes." Emperor Liu's eyes motioned for the palace maid to retreat to the outer hall, and she slowly walked to Emperor Chu's side and sat down with him. "Xuan'er is only fifteen years old, and her concubines still want to choose two more years, and they are reluctant to marry her now. But the eldest princess delayed her youth for a few years because of the affairs of the Ding'an Hou Mansion a few years ago, but she couldn't delay it anymore. ”

"Hey, that kid." Speaking of Xiao Lu's marriage, Emperor Chu couldn't help frowning. "When Yu'er entered the palace before, she recommended a good child, the only son of the lord of Lechang."

"The concubine has seen the lord of Lechang a few times, she has a soft temperament and is from the clan, although she is young and widowed, but her background is there, and her family background can also match."

"Yes, Lechang's temperament is there, and he is easy to get along with. It's rare that her only son is also very motivated, and I asked King Kang to bring someone into the palace yesterday, and it looks good. Emperor Chu sighed and said. As a result, today Lechang asked King Kang to bring a letter to me for her, saying that her son has no fame and no title, and he is not worthy of matching the princess. ”

Emperor Chu is not a person who is difficult for a strong man, and even a marriage must pay attention to your affection and my wishes, otherwise with Xiao Lu's personality and temper, even if she is blessed as a princess, I am afraid that the future may not be smooth.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the princess is from a heavenly family, and she doesn't have to worry about finding her husband's family, but it seems that she can still find it slowly." Emperor Liu's concubine secretly thought in her heart, Xiao Lu's figure and appearance are not bad, but with her temperament, if the princess born to the queen is just a princess, the mother concubine will not be favored, and the help that the husband's family can get in the future will be limited.

There is only such an only son under the knee of the lord of Lechang, where would he be willing to let his only son marry a girl like Xiao Lu.

"By the way, the child brought by Princess Mu this time is the child born in the eldest princess of Yongshou back then, right?" Emperor Chu changed the subject.

"Yes, that kid's name is Brother Yu. Because his brother and sister were married, it was inconvenient to accompany my eldest sister to travel far away from home, so he accompanied my eldest sister over. ”

"I remember that he and Xuan'er were born only two days apart." At this time, Emperor Chu looked like an ordinary father, and when he saw an unmarried teenager, he wanted to ask about the situation. "Have you decided on a family affair??"

"Your Majesty, you won't worry about Brother Yu'er, he is only two days older than Xuan'er, and he is almost four years younger than the eldest princess."

"What do you think?" Emperor Chu laughed and laughed. "Speaking of which, Xuan'er is fifteen, although she is not in a hurry to marry, but the candidate for the concubine should also look at each other early."

"The concubine wants to kiss each other, but Xuan'er's marriage still has to be decided by Your Majesty?" Concubine Liuhuang rolled her eyes and smiled. "Brother Yu is the third son of Mu Wangfu, the child of my eldest sister, and his identity and affection are enough. It's just that King Mu's mansion is too far away from the imperial capital, and the concubine's mother is impatient whenever she misses her eldest sister, and she is difficult to see. Besides, Xuan'er was raised by a concubine, even if she was a concubine of her own aunt, she was still reluctant. ”

"This is not a trivial matter, that child is not the eldest son, and he has nothing to do with inheriting the title of Mu Wangfu." Emperor Chu thought for a moment and said. "Besides, Xuan'er is a princess, so she doesn't have to go to her husband's house to live, she has her own princess's mansion."

"Your Majesty, don't think too well." Emperor Liu's concubine interrupted Emperor Chu's imagination with a smile. "Xuan'er is spoiled by Your Majesty, I heard her say some time ago that Her Majesty allowed her, no matter who you fancy to be a colt in the future, as long as you talk to you, you will agree."

"What's the matter, it's just teasing her."

"She doesn't think you're teasing her." Emperor Liu Guifei couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the smug look on Xiao Xuan's face at that time. She said she wanted to find something she liked, and it had to be good-looking. Recently, she thought of ideas again, and kept running outside the palace, saying that she wanted to see people. ”

"Let her see." Emperor Chu was used to pampering Xiao Xuan, and said indifferently. "If Xuan'er really sees the right one, I will give her a marriage."

Three months later, Princess Mu and her entourage arrived in the imperial capital.

According to the rules for the family members of the vassal kings to enter the imperial capital, Princess Mu must enter the palace for an audience at the first time.

Emperor Liu's concubine picked Xiao Xuan up early in the morning, and after watching her wash and change her clothes, the mother and daughter went to the queen's Zhaoyang Palace together.

The queen sent someone to greet Emperor Liu's concubine, sat down together and waited to meet Emperor Chu's Princess Mu and her third son Mu Tingyu.

The queen will still give Emperor Liu's concubine a little face in front of people, not to mention that it is the eldest sister of Emperor Liu's concubine who came this time, she is still a princess of the vassal who has actual military power and guards one side.

After only greeting for a while, the queen took the initiative to mention that Princess Mu would follow Emperor Liu back to Yihua Palace, so that the two sisters could talk well.

Back in Yihua Palace, Concubine Liu still firmly held Princess Mu's hand.

"Okay, why are you holding on so tightly, I can't run away." Princess Mu smiled and patted Concubine Liu's hand and said. "I'm in the queen's palace just now, and it's not good for me to talk to the second princess, but now that I'm in your palace, I have to take a good look at your child."

"Xuan'er, come on." Emperor Liu's eyes were still full of tears, and after hearing this, she hurriedly called Xiao Xuan to come to her. "Eldest sister, this is my youngest daughter, Xuan'er."

"Hey, you look like you were seven or eight points like when you were a teenager." Princess Mu looked Xiao Xuan up and down.

"Xuan'er has seen her aunt." Xiao Xuan's clever big eyes blinked, tilted his head and smiled at Princess Mu. "Aunt is well."

"Good boy." Princess Mu took a jade pendant from her waist, carved from a whole piece of blood jade, in the shape of a crescent moon. "This is my aunt's gift to you."

"Thank you, auntie."

"Well, Brother Yu is coming." Princess Mu watched her young son stand quietly on the side, and hurriedly beckoned him over. "Come and meet your aunt and sister."

Seeing that Princess Mu and Concubine Liu's sisters hadn't seen each other for many years, they were in a hurry to greet each other, and they didn't care about others, so the young man stood quietly on the side. His appearance is also more beautiful, more like the beautiful appearance of the Liu family. And because the ancestors of King Mu's mansion also had a foreign marriage princess, the young man's bloodline has some genetics, his eyes, eyebrows, nose and lips are like the Liu family, but the hair color and eye color are light.

He is extremely tall and tall, and it is difficult to find any flaws, and he is a beautiful young man.

"I've seen my aunt." The expression on the young man's face suddenly became vivid, and he stepped forward with a light smile and bowed his hand to greet Xiao Xuan and Emperor Liu. "I've seen my cousin."

"Okay, get up." Concubine Liu Huang saw Mu Tingyu's appearance clearly, and unconsciously remembered that when the two children were just born, the jokes between herself and her eldest sister were also a little moved.
