Chapter Eighty-Six: The Plea

In the Changchun Pavilion, because Xiao Jun had ordered it in advance, there were no other guests on this floor where Xiao Xuan was.

Xiao Jun sent his men to guard the stairs to prevent outsiders from accidentally bumping into them.

Duan Shaolan in the room looked at Xiao Xuan's eyes, and her ears were still echoing with what she had just asked him.

Reason told him that he should reject her in one mouth. But looking at her sparkling eyes, the words of refusal were around her mouth, but she couldn't say anything.

Fifteen-year-old Xiao Xuan has a pair of sparkling eyes, the tails of the eyes are slightly raised, the facial features are exquisite, and the skin is as white as snowdrifts.

There was still a little childishness between her eyebrows, and she still looked not much different from the girl who suddenly appeared in the imperial garden for herself and her sister.

She was dressed in a light-colored dress, with shaved shoulders and a slender waist, and one hand was firmly gripping his arm.

Duan Shaolan hesitated whether he should break free of her, but he was afraid that he would hurt her if he used too much force.

"You can't tell, can you?" Xiao Xuan saw that he hesitated for a long time and didn't speak, but he saw a little hope. "You don't feel anything about me, do you?"

"Your Highness the Princess." Duan Shaolan didn't dare to look into her eyes anymore, and looked away in a little panic.

"Duan Shaolan, if you really don't like me, I won't force you." Xiao Xuan said with tears in his eyes and a trembling voice. "The imperial capital is too young, and I don't want to watch you marry another woman and have children. Fortunately, my mother originally wanted me to marry the third son of King Mu, but I was unwilling to marry him. But now that I want to marry him, it's a good plan, at least I can have a valid reason to stay away from the imperial capital. ”

The news that Princess Mu brought her third son back to the imperial capital, Duan Shaolan naturally knew about it for a long time.

The elite circle of the imperial capital was watching Princess Mu return to the imperial capital with an unmarried son, and everyone knew that Princess Mu was probably looking for a marriage for her son in the imperial capital.

Duan Shaolan didn't expect that Princess Mu would hit Xiao Xuan with the idea.

Now that I think about it carefully, Princess Mu's move is normal. On the one hand, Princess Mu and Concubine Liu are sisters, and the third son of King Mu and Xiao Xuan are also cousins and sisters; On the one hand, Mu Wangfu is already the only remaining palace with a different surname in Jokhang, because Mu Wangfu has guarded the north for generations and has made brilliant military achievements, and it has a very high reputation among the local people, so it must be feared.

Therefore, letting the third son, who cannot inherit the title, marry Princess Zhaoyue, who is deeply favored by His Majesty, will only have advantages and disadvantages for Mu Wangfu.

"Princess, please think again." Duan Shaolan finally couldn't bear to say. "The north is bitterly cold, the princess grew up in the imperial capital since she was a child, but she is afraid that she will not be able to stand the strong wind in the north of the country."

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Xuan said in a daze. "I'd rather go away from now on and never see you again."

Xiao Xuan let go of the hand that had been holding Duan Shaolan as if he was in despair, and his arm hung down on the side of the chair. The tears that had been rolling in her eyes finally burst out of her eyes and rolled down her cheeks in strings.

Seeing this, Lu Lin hurriedly stepped forward and squeezed away Duan Shaolan, who was stunned in place.

No matter how much Lu Lin persuaded him, Xiao Xuan's tears became more and more fierce.

Duan Shaolan's heart ached for a while, Xiao Xuan abandoned the identity of a princess in his eyes, and she was a weak girl. Even if you are in the imperial capital with a gentle wind and drizzle and a suitable climate, you still have to get sick from time to time. If she really goes to Saibei with a body like this, where can she survive for how long.

"Princess......" Duan Shaolan looked at her because of her tears, and her heart felt like a knife.

"Lord Duan, the princess and the imperial concubine have a dispute over you. Last night, I walked out of the palace with the slaves and maids and took refuge in the mansion of the Sixth Highness. "Green Forest is reckless, I can't see Xiao Xuan so sad and sad for a Duan Shaolan, and he can't help but accuse him if he doesn't care about his dignity." If the adults really have no intention of the princess, don't be so hesitant to speak. ”

"Green Forest, don't say it." At this time, Xiao Xuan, who had been crying sideways, suddenly opened his mouth with a sob, raised his hand and said to the green forest. "Help me up, and I'll go back to the palace today."

Lu Lin glanced at Duan Shaolan hatefully, helped Xiao Xuan to get up, and walked towards the door. When passing by Duan Shaolan's side, he deliberately bumped into him.

Seeing that Lu Lin helped Xiao Xuan to the door, Lu Lin's hand was about to push the door open.

Duan Shaolan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Xuan.

"Master Duan, what is this doing?" Before Xiao Xuan could speak, Green Forest already had a family background of protecting cubs and hens, protecting Xiao Xuan behind him, and blocking Duan Shaolan with his waist.

"Can you trouble this girl to go out first?" Duan Shaolan put his mind down, and he never let go of Xiao Xuan's arm. "I have something to say to the princess."

"You!" Green Forest raised his eyebrows, but felt that he was lightly poked in the back.

Lu Lin subconsciously turned his head and saw Xiao Xuan winking at her. Lu Lin immediately came to his senses, glared at Duan Shaolan again, and then pushed open the door and walked out.

When Lvlin went out, he bumped into a person who was lying on the door eavesdropping.

"Sixth Highness?" That person was Xiao Jun, who didn't know when he came up from the hall downstairs.

"Shhhh When Xiao Jun saw Lu Lin come out, he hurriedly gestured to Lu Lin to silence him.

Seeing that Lu Lin nodded hurriedly, he continued to secretly rub back on the door panel and eavesdrop

In the room, Xiao Xuan's eyes were slightly red and he stood in front of Duan Shaolan.

"Princess." Duan Shaolan is tall, more than a head taller than Xiao Xuan.

"That's it." Xiao Xuan suddenly raised his head and said gloomily. "What else are you stopping me from doing?"

Xiao Xuan's eyes are slightly swollen, her nose is slightly red, and she is dressed very elegantly today, this appearance is both pitiful and cute.

"The minister has been fond of the princess for a long time." Duan Shaolan looked at her and finally blurted out the words in his heart. "It's just that the minister was born in the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion, and he was born as a concubine. The princess is the golden branch and jade leaf that His Majesty has loved for many years, and the status of the minister really does not match the princess. ”

Seeing his reaction like this, Xiao Xuan finally smiled.

"I know your concerns." Xiao Xuan smiled and said. "Your aunt, the queen mother, and my mother are also in the harem, one is the queen and the other is the concubine, and the relationship has been not harmonious for a long time. My father is the emperor, do you think he really doesn't know that the relationship between the queen and my mother is not good? ”

"What do you mean, princess?"

"I told my father that I liked you, and my father has granted my request." Xiao Xuan said. "Since my father has allowed me to marry you, I will definitely be able to marry you in the future. The worries in your heart are nothing more than the queen's mother, but my father is the lord of the world, and the queen's mother is honored and does not return my father. Your biological mother is a concubine, and my mother is under the queen, so we are also concubines, don't we just match? ”

"Alright, alright." Hearing this, Xiao Jun pushed the door and walked in with a grin.

"Your Highness Six." Duan Shaolan was taken aback by Xiao Jun's movements, and when he saw him coming in, he took two steps back.

"Sixth brother." Xiao Xuan said angrily. "How long have you been hiding outside the door eavesdropping?"

"Then you don't care." Xiao Jun walked in with her sleeves flicked, walked between Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan with a grin, and patted Duan Shaolan's arm. "My people have sent a message, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law went into the palace early in the morning to say goodbye to the concubine."

Duan Shaolan felt that he was glared at by Xiao Jun, and quickly let go of the hand holding Xiao Xuan.

"What!?" Hearing that the eldest brother Xiao Yu had entered the palace, Xiao Xuan was shocked and didn't notice Duan Shaolan's letting go of his hand. "Hasn't the eldest brother been very busy lately, and he hasn't entered the palace to say hello to his mother for a long time?"

"You took the green forest out of the palace alone, do you think the concubine really doesn't worry about you?" Xiao Jun hurriedly explained. "As soon as you arrived at my house, your sixth sister-in-law sent someone into the palace to deliver a message, and the mother concubine asked us to take good care of you. After the eldest brother found out about your departure from the palace, he went to the concubine to intercede for you early this morning. ”

"So where is the big brother now?" Xiao Yu's most frightened person is Xiao Yu.

"After the eldest brother left the palace, he has now gone to my house." Xiao Jun glanced at Duan Shaolan and then at Xiao Xuan, thinking about what he had just heard. "Now that you've heard what you want to hear, don't mess around anymore. The eldest brother made a special trip to my house to pick you up and take you back to the palace, and the mother concubine allowed you and Duan Shaolan to do so. It's time for you to go back to the palace and say no to your mother. ”

"Did the concubine really agree?" Xiao Xuan asked incredulously.

"Can Big Brother still lie to us?" Xiao Jun pushed Xiao Xuan out and instructed. "My people are waiting downstairs, you go back to my house first."

"Aren't you going back with me?" Xiao Xuan looked at Duan Shaolan, a little reluctant to leave, and turned to Xiao Jun and said.

"I still have something to say to him, you go back to the house first." Xiao Jun pointed at Duan Shaolan and replied. "You better not let the eldest brother wait too long."

Xiao Xuan thought about it fearfully, not to mention anything else, he was angry about taking the green forest out of the palace last night, but he was afraid that he would not be able to escape Xiao Yu's words.

She took one last look at Duan Shaolan, and had to go downstairs with the green forest.

However, Duan Shaolan was still standing in place, staring at Xiao Xuan's figure until he couldn't see her anymore, and then he withdrew his gaze.

"You started with a lot of hard words." Xiao Jun looked at his friend and said angrily. "Didn't I have to make my sister cry before she was relieved?"

"Sixth Highness, I can't do it." Duan Shaolan and Xiao Jun have been friends for many years, and now they are a little more familiar with each other. "I was born in the Zhenguo Mansion, and I want to come to the imperial concubine Niangniang is not happy to marry the princess to me."

"My sister made such a fuss, my mother had no way to take her, and her unhappiness became willing." Xiao Jun sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. "Xuan'er also ran to her father and told her what was interesting to you. My father has always loved her, and there is no requirement for her, so you don't have to worry about what matches or don't match. What you have to do now is to go back to the Zhenguo Mansion immediately and tell your father and mother about it. ”
