Chapter 205: The Eve
All matters of the big wedding are ready to stop, and the day of Xiao Xuan's wedding is getting closer and closer.
Concubine Liu was busy like a spinning top all day long, not only did the eldest princess of Yongshou buy a rich dowry for Xiao Xuan, but even Princess Mu, who was far away in Saibei, sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.
Her wedding date is approaching, and the young ladies and young ladies who are good friends with Xiao Xuan in the imperial capital have also entered the palace to send congratulatory gifts to her on her new marriage.
Yihua Palace ushered in the send-off very lively.
Xiao Xuan, who has always been happy, before the upcoming wedding, Xiao Xuan woke up early one day, and when she saw the dazzling wedding dress that had been changed and hung in her hall, Xiao Xuan sat on the bed in a daze and looked at the wedding dress for a long time.
Xiao Xuan was in a daze with her long hair, Dan Tang brought someone in with hot water, and hurriedly took a coat from the hanger on the side and put it on for Xiao Xuan.
"It's still early, why doesn't the princess get up and call us?" Dan Tang poured a cup of tea that was just enough to eat. "The princess is going to get married in a few days, but you must not catch a cold and get sick, the princess will drink some hot tea to warm up her body first, and the slaves and maids will wait for you to wash."
"Whew, life flies so fast." Xiao Xuan took the tea, drank it all in small sips, and his body slowly warmed up. "There are only a few days left."
Dan Tang chuckled and took back the empty teacup in Xiao Xuan's hand and handed it to the people beside her.
"Yes, princess." Dan Tachibana smiled. "In a few days, the slaves and maids will follow the princess to the princess's mansion."
"I don't know why, but today I saw the wedding dress hanging there coldly, and I felt a little reluctant." Xiao Xuan raised his hand and pointed to the wedding dress and said. "I grew up here, and now I'm leaving, and I'm really reluctant to leave."
Without waiting for Dan Tang to answer, Xiao Xuan changed his mind again.
"Dress up for me, I'll go sit down with my mother."
"Yes, the slave knows."
The second room of the Zhenguo Mansion has also been very busy these days, and there are many things in the hands of the county lord of Duansu that she needs to deal with in person, and she can't even manage her own son. Fortunately, Sister Chu is sensible, and the first thing she does when she comes back from class every day is to see her younger brother.
After the full moon, the brother decided to name Duan Shaobin.
Brother Bin woke up after a break and couldn't see his mother, the little brother was lying on the bed, Xu was thinking that he hadn't seen his mother for many days, and the brother who had always been sensible had a rare temper, and cried unrelentingly, Ren is nurse and maids took toys, food, etc., and coaxed him for a long time to not get good, and he cried hoarsely.
A room of people surrounded this little ancestor and was stunned, as long as he thought about ordering someone to report to the county lord of Duansu, he was afraid that Brother Bin'er would hurt his body after crying for a long time.
At this moment, Sister Chu, who was coming from outside, heard Brother Bin'er's cry from a long distance, and she couldn't care about the maid who followed her, so she lifted her skirt and trotted all the way.
When the maid outside saw her coming, she hurriedly opened the door and welcomed her in.
"What's wrong with Brother Bin?" Sister Chu listened to Brother Bin'er's cry, and hurriedly asked the nurse beside the bed what happened. "Is Brother Bin'er sick?"
"If you go back to Miss, my brother is not sick." The nurse hurriedly explained. "It's just that the county lord has been very busy these days, and he always can't take care of his brother, and my brother didn't see the county lord when he rested today, so he started crying. The slaves and maids coaxed for a long time, but the brother kept crying. ”
"Brother Bin, my sister is here." Sister Chu often comes to visit Brother Bin, she is now eleven years old, the Duan family's bloodline is tall and tall both male and female, and Sister Chu'er's current figure is about the same as that of other people's fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls.
Xu is hearing Sister Chu'er's voice, Brother Bin'er's crying finally stopped, Brother Bin sobbed and turned his head to look over, and saw Sister Chu lying on the edge of the bed, Brother Bin recognized his sister, pouted at her, looked very pitiful, turned over to Sister Chu'er, and tossed to Sister Chu'er's side.
Sister Chu often plays with her younger brother, and she is used to holding her younger brother to play every day, so when she saw this, she got up and hugged Brother Bin.
After Brother Bin was picked up by Sister Chu, his mood suddenly improved, he snuggled in Sister Chu's arms, babbling and waving his little arms.
"Did Brother Bin want to go out to find her mother?" Sister Chu asked intimately as if she understood what Brother Bin'er meant.
After Brother Bin tilted his head and listened to Sister Chu'er's words, he immediately nodded like pounding garlic, for fear that Sister Chu would not understand what he meant.
"Okay, then my sister will carry you to find your mother."
Sister Chu went out with Brother Bin in her arms, and the nurse and maids hurriedly followed.
When they arrived at the place where the county lord of Duansu was the daily director, the maids lifted the curtain and welcomed Sister Chu and Brother Bin in.
There were a few people standing in the room talking to the Duansu County Lord, Sister Chu knew that the Duansu County Lord was doing something and did not come forward to bother, she calmed the somewhat excited Brother Bin and went to the side hall to wait for the Duansu County Lord to finish his work.
After a long time, even Brother Bin'er in Sister Chu's arms couldn't help but feel sleepy, and the county lord of Duansu came over.
When he heard the footsteps, he looked up and happened to see his mother's Brother Bin'er, and immediately rebelled in Sister Chu's arms. He fluttered like this, Sister Chu was still young, and she had been hugging him for a long time, and her arm had long lost her strength, so she almost threw Brother Bin to the ground, but fortunately, Lord Duansu came in time and hugged Brother Bin.
"Why do you want to come over with Brother Bin'er today?" Lord Duansu sat down with Brother Bin in his arms.
Brother Bin, who finally saw his mother, finally lost his previous little temper and obediently sat in the arms of the county lord of Duansu.
The nurse hurriedly explained today's situation to Lord Duansu.
After hearing this, the county lord of Duansu looked down at Brother Bin'er's eyes that were still a little red and swollen, and the small appearance in front of him who was wholeheartedly attached to his mother, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
But now it is not a few days before the wedding date of Princess Zhaoyue and Duan Shaolan, and she really has a lot of things at hand, but I am afraid that she will not have any free time until the wedding. Sister Chu was sensible early, but there was nothing she needed to manage. It's just that Brother Bin'er is still too young, even if he is well-behaved and sensible every day, if he is away from her for too long, he will inevitably have some things.
"Mother, brother is still obedient." Sister Chu spoke for Brother Bin. "My brother misses you so much, but I can help my mother take care of my brother, and my mother can do things with peace of mind."
"Our Sister Chu is such a good child, and now we all know that we are worried about our mother." Lord Duansu freed his hand, held Sister Chu'er's hand, and said with great relief. "What about your brother? Have you been so busy lately? He hadn't been back for almost two days. ”
"My brother asked me to come back with a book to pass the word, saying that I would rest for a while next, and the things in my hands would be handed over." Sister Chu also sat beside the Duansu County Lord, leaning her head on the shoulder of the Duansu County Lord. "My brother is very busy, my father and mother are also very busy, only Sister Chu is idle in the yard alone, and she can't help anything."
"Didn't Sister Chu help take care of Brother Bin?" Lord Duansu beckoned, and the maid on the side came over with a tray.
There are more than a dozen delicate hairpins on it, and the style is not very gorgeous, but they are quite suitable for a girl of Sister Chu'er's age to wear.
Lord Duansu has sorted out a lot of things these days, thinking that Sister Chu is also about to reach her age, and in the future, with a sister-in-law with a prominent background like Princess Zhaoyue, she can't be inferior to other people's young ladies when she walks outside.
In the end, it is the girl's nature, and when she saw the beautiful jewelry, Sister Chu'er's eyes lit up.
"Are these for me?" Sister Chu asked happily.
"Nature is for you." Lord Duansu said with a smile. "In a few days, it will be your brother's big day, you must dress up as a sister, and the new clothes I ordered someone to make for you a while ago are almost ready."
"Well, thank you, Mother." Sister Chu responded obediently. "When the time comes, Sister Chu will definitely not embarrass her brother,"
On the eve of the wedding, Concubine Liuhuang, who had been busy for a long time, finally settled everything.
Concubine Liu deliberately washed and changed her clothes early and prepared to go to bed.
At this time, Sui Hong led Xiao Xuan, who was wearing a thin bedclothes, from the outside.
"What are you doing here?" Seeing this, Concubine Liu hurriedly sat up from the bed. "Suihong, hurry up and put on a dress for her, don't let her catch a cold."
"Mother." Xiao Xuan walked quickly to the bed, took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed of Emperor Liu's concubine. "I want to sleep with you tonight, okay?"
"Don't mess around, don't you know what day tomorrow is?" Concubine Liu Huang lost her temper with Xiao Xuan, afraid that Xiao Xuan would catch a cold, so she hurriedly unfolded the quilt to protect Xiao Xuan. "You'll have to get up early tomorrow to get ready."
Xiao Xuan stretched out her hands and firmly hugged the body of Emperor Liu, the strength in her hands was not small, and Concubine Liu couldn't even break free for a while.
"Mother, I really can't bear you." Xiao Xuan was like a child, put her head in the arms of Emperor Liu's concubine, and said in a muffled voice. "I'm not leaving tonight."
"I'm going to get married tomorrow, it's time to be an adult, why are you still playing like a child." Emperor Liu said helplessly, her hands gently brushing Xiao Xuan's back. "Alright, alright, you're going to sleep here tonight. Just don't talk much, hurry up and sleep. ”
"Hmm," Xiao Xuan buried his head and replied in a deep voice,
Emperor Liu's concubine waved her hand, and Suihong retreated with the palace maids in the palace, leaving only their mother and daughter to speak.
Xiao Xuan lay beside Emperor Liu's concubine, curled up slightly and snuggled up to her side. Concubine Liu covered the quilt for her and patiently coaxed her to sleep.
