After Concubine Chen's words, Xiao Lu, who was still open to say something, was stunned, and after she was stunned for a long time, she smiled bitterly at Concubine Chen.

"It seems that the concubine also suspects that I have done something in it?" Xiao Lu smiled weakly and asked. "The concubine is afraid that I won't be able to come out so easily if I go to Yihua Palace, right?"

"Lu'er." Concubine Chen didn't expect Xiao Lu to simply break the matter and say it, and she was speechless for a while.

"Auntie? Cousin? Deng Ting stood beside Concubine Chen, a little puzzled by their mother and daughter.

"Mother, I simply told you directly, I really didn't go to visit Xiao Xuan. She fell into the water and suffered, and I can't say what I can say in my heart. Xiao Lu looked at Concubine Chen's eyes and said word by word. I'm not that stupid to choose to hurt her at this time. I know she can't water, and as much as I hate her, I won't really let her die. ”

"Sister Ting, you go outside and wait for me first." Concubine Chen was shocked by Xiao Lu's words, and she suddenly thought of Sister Ting beside her. Concubine Chen turned her head to look at Sister Ting, who was stunned, and said to her.

Deng Ting nodded, and immediately turned around and went out.

"Lu'er, there's no one around you now?" Concubine Chen confirmed to Xiao Lu again. "You make it clear to your mother that the accident at this flower banquet was really not your hand?"

"Mother, it's really not me." Xiao Lu said helplessly. "I'm going to get married soon, why let Xiao Xuan have an accident at this time. I sent a post to invite her to my flower banquet, nothing more than to improve my reputation. Don't forget, this time, it was the queen who came forward to let Xiao Xuan come to my flower banquet. If I really made a rash move against Xiao Xuan at the flower banquet, I wouldn't have dragged the queen into it at that time. I will marry the queen's nephew in the future, and the mother concubine will continue to be attached to the queen in the palace, in order to rectify Xiao Xuan, will I be stupid enough to compensate our mother and daughter in the future? ”

Speaking of which, the queen, Emperor Liu, and Concubine Chen, together with Concubine Chen, all thought that Xiao Xuan's fall into the lake was Xiao Lu's move, but this time Xiao Lu really didn't have such an idea.

Speaking of which, even Xiao Lu knows in her heart, although she and Xiao Xuan have always been at odds, they have been fighting for more than ten years. But they are directly nothing more than Xiao Lu can't see that Xiao Xuan is better off than her, and Xiao Xuan can't look down on Xiao Lu's small belly and chicken intestines to target her everywhere.

Back then, Xiao Lu once united with the prince of Ding'an Hou to get rid of the old lady of Ding'an Hou who tried to manipulate the marriage between the two, and the reason why Xiao Lu was able to get rid of his own grandmother without distraction. In fact, it is nothing more than that there is no ancestral friendship between Mrs. Ding'an Hou and her.

Besides, the Ding'an Hou Mansion has declined, and the old lady of Ding'an Hou has been domineering for many years, except for Concubine Chen, who is naturally soft-tempered, no one in the family hates her. Her death may be a happy event for many people.

But Xiao Xuan and her, although they don't like it, they really don't want her life.

Besides, Xiao Xuan's identity, her mother's concubine, her two brothers-in-law, and her grandmother, if she really dared to murder Xiao Xuan, I am afraid she would lose her life together.

"Mother, since that's all the talk." Xiao Lu looked at Concubine Chen. "There's no need for me to watch her jokes anymore. Her body knew throughout the palace that she would be bound to suffer a sin if she fell into the icy lake in such weather. ”

"Lu'er, it's good that you can think so clearly." After listening to Xiao Xuan's explanation, Concubine Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Zhaoyue, that kid can't hinder you or anything after all, and your father is also hard-mouthed and soft-hearted towards you. To put it mildly, no matter which of your royal brothers ascends the throne in the future, you will be the eldest princess in the future. ”

"That's what the mother said." Xiao Lu nodded. "The mother concubine will take Sister Ting to Yihua Palace, I will rest in the palace today."

Concubine Liu Huang saw Concubine Chen and Aunt Deng Ting's nephew, Concubine Chen got up and apologized as soon as possible, in the end, Xiao Xuan was at the flower banquet prepared by Xiao Lu, for the time being, no matter what the reason for Xiao Xuan's accident, Concubine Chen felt that she should apologize.

Concubine Liuhuang has always looked down on Concubine Chen, who is dependent on the queen and has a cowardly temperament, but she also has a daughter who is not so worry-free under her knees.

"This is the young lady of your maiden Ding'an Hou Mansion, right?" After Concubine Chen sat down again, Emperor Liu's idea came to Deng Ting, who had been standing quietly beside Concubine Chen. "It's the first time I've seen it, so come and show me."

"Yes, she's my brother's child. But she was lucky, she was almost right in front of my sister-in-law. ”

The children are naturally lower than the children of the concubines, but for a concubine like Deng Ting, it is naturally a little more decent to be able to grow up in front of her mother-in-law, and she will be much better than her sisters and sisters who grew up in front of her aunt in the future.

Deng Ting looked at her aunt Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen bowed slightly, Deng Ting stepped forward obediently and saluted Emperor Liu again.

"It's a neat kid." Emperor Liu Guifei smiled and praised. "Clear-eyed, a good boy."

After that, Emperor Liu Concubine casually took off a red agate bracelet on the sand on her wrist and pulled Deng Ting's gloves up.

"Sister Ting, thank you for the gift of the imperial concubine." Seeing this, Concubine Chen hurriedly reminded her.

"Thank you for the reward of the imperial concubine." Deng Ting hurriedly gave a salute.

"It's fine." Concubine Liu was very kind and helped her up. "I heard Xuan'er say that when she was about to fall into the water, you reacted in time and prepared to save her, but she was so involved that she fell into the water. But these two days have been really hectic, and she is very worried about your situation when she wakes up. ”

"The princess is too polite, I should have rescued the princess if something happened in front of my eyes, but I was useless and couldn't hold the princess." Deng Ting has a naïve and unsparse temperament, and she is very calm and a little embarrassed to say.

"Well, okay. Xuan'er was thinking about you and wanted to see you. "Concubine Liu thinks Deng Ting is a good child." It just so happened to happen today, since you came to Yihua Palace, let them take you to meet her. ”

Concubine Chen was naturally willing to let Deng Ting get close to Xiao Xuan, and immediately smiled and agreed.

Deng Ting was taken to Xiao Xuan's palace, and the palace maid who led her here explained her intention, and Xiao Xuan asked Dan Tang to lead her into the palace to speak.

Deng Ting was ignorant and knew how to follow Dan Tang into the hall, the hall was filled with a very good smell of warm fragrance, Deng Ting quietly took a few deep breaths. The warm incense is not as strong as ordinary incense, which will choke people, but it smells soothing.

"Princess, the young lady of the Ding'an Hou Mansion is here."

Walking to the back of the hall, after passing through the double bead curtain, Deng Ting saw Xiao Xuan.

"Say hello to the princess." Before leaving, Deng Ting deliberately learned the rules at home, and when she saw Xiao Xuan, who was leaning on the bedside and looking at her with a smile, she immediately knelt down to salute.

"Dan Tang, help Miss Deng get up." Xiao Xuan said. "Bring another chair for Miss Deng and let Miss Deng sit down."

Dan Tang waved his hand, and a palace maid stepped forward and put a chair on the side of the bed, motioning for Deng Ting to sit down.

After Deng Ting sat down, she looked a little restrained, she didn't even dare to sit on the chair, her waist was straight, and she looked like she was facing a great enemy.

"Miss Deng, don't be so nervous." Xiao Xuan couldn't help but laugh when she looked at her. "On that day, you were kind enough to rescue you, but I was involved in the water, and I really couldn't rest assured. It's just that I'm thin and didn't care about your safety for a while. Don't know if you're feeling unwell? ”

"Thank you for your care." Deng Ting was born with a lovely round face, red lips and white teeth, very cute. "I'm fine, because my biological mother is from the Jiangnan Water Town, and I learned to swim with my biological mother when I was a child, and the shallow lake in the imperial garden is nothing to me."

"It's good that you don't have anything, and I'll be at ease." Xiao Xuan had already prepared a thank you gift, thinking that he would send someone to Yuxiu Palace in the next few days. Since Deng Ting is here today, she has to let Dan Tang and them run one more time. "It's really a shameless disaster for you to fall into the water, I specially prepared something for you, you must accept it."

Dan Tang had already taken a wooden box that Xiao Xuan had ordered someone to pack up in advance, and Xiao Xuan personally took Deng Ting's hand and put the box in Deng Ting's hand.

"Let's open it and take a look." Xiao Xuan said. "The first time we met, I don't know what your preferences are. But think that your skin is white, and the best pearls must match your complexion. It just so happened that I just got a box of South Sea pearls a while ago, and I thought that it had never come in handy. ”

Deng Ting obeyed Xiao Xuan's words, opened the box in her hand, and as soon as the lid was lifted, she revealed a full load of pearls inside. Each is rounded, and it is rare that the size of each one is the same, and they are the size of a thumb cap.

"It's too precious." Deng Ting roughly calculated, there were seventy or eighty beads in the box in front of her, each of which was in excellent condition, and it must be worth a lot, Deng Ting suddenly felt that the box in her hand had become hot. "Your Royal Highness Princess, I really can't accept it."

"What's precious, you are the young lady of the Hou Mansion, and I heard that you were also raised in front of your mother-in-law." Xiao Xuan closed the lid for her and said. "I know that you lived in the Buddha Hall for a long time with your biological mother to serve Mrs. Ding'anhou earlier, and rarely came out to socialize. You're fourteen now, and it's time to get out and walk around, and this pearl is just enough to put together a set of noodles for you. Besides, you landed on the ice lake, which is very worthy of my thanks. ”

Xiao Xuan's words were all about this, and Deng Ting had to accept the box full of pearls.

Deng Ting accompanied Xiao Xuan to talk for a while, Xiao Xuan felt that Xiao Lu's cousin was good, with a naïve and pure personality. She thought that that day, when she was about to fall into the water, when the ladies of the family subconsciously retreated, only Deng Ting reached out to her, which was really different from Xiao Lu, who was a cousin.
