Chapter Eighty-Seven: Good News
Xiao Xuan trembled and was led to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu sat on the seat with a tea cup, looked up at her, did not speak, lowered his head and continued to drink tea by himself.
Xiao Xuan stood in place and didn't dare to go any further, and the green forest, which was still very vigorous in the Ivy Pavilion before, also shrank behind Xiao Xuan, and the master and servant shrank like two little quails.
"I see that my sister is much thinner than when I saw her a few days ago." Wen glanced at Xiao Yu with a smile, then got up and took Xiao Xuan's hand, led her to the edge of his position and sat down.
Seeing this, Lu Lin hurriedly lowered his head and followed all the way.
"My sister has always had a bitter summer, and it is very difficult to come to the summer heat." Wen took Xiao Xuan's hand, patted her hand and said.
"You who don't have the strength to see, why don't you hurry up and bring the princess a cup of tea to cool off." At this time, the Zhao family, who was sitting on the other side, immediately ordered the maids around him. "Quickly cut some melons and fruits with well water and bring them over."
"Do you know what's wrong?" Before Zhao's words fell, Xiao Yu put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at Xiao Xuan and asked in a deep voice.
Before Xiao Xuan could speak, the green forest standing beside her had already jumped out with an arrow and knelt down in front of Xiao Yu with a thud.
"The slave knows it's wrong." Lu Lin leaned over and kowtowed repeatedly, and said. "The slave maid is a first-class palace maid next to the princess, not only did she not dissuade the princess, but she also followed the princess out of the palace together, and asked His Royal Highness to punish her."
'Smack', Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Xuan, who was sitting there timidly and still sitting, raised his hand and slapped it fiercely on the table at hand.
"Xuan'er, come here!" Xiao Yu shouted.
Xiao Xuan's body was shocked, and when he heard Xiao Yu speak, he immediately stood up honestly and walked quickly in front of him.
"Do you know what's wrong?"
"Big brother, I know it's wrong." Xiao Xuan didn't dare to look directly into Xiao Yu's eyes, lowered his head and said in his mouth.
"Oh, then tell your eldest brother what mistakes you made?" Xiao Yu taught Xiao Yu, Wen raised his head to meet Zhao's gaze, smiled at her and shook his head, Zhao understood, and made a gesture to his maids, and suddenly the people in the six princes' mansions in the hall retreated cleanly.
The hall was empty all of a sudden, Xiao Yu didn't speak, and Lu Lin still lay on the ground and didn't dare to get up, Xiao Xuan, who was standing in place, seemed to be able to hear his own noisy heartbeat, and he didn't know how to take Xiao Yu's words for a while.
Her hands were sweating at her sides, and she had to clench them tightly. In the past two days, my eyes that have been crying frequently can't stop being sour, and tears are falling down one by one.
"Crying for what?" Xiao Yu looked at her like this, sighed and said helplessly. "You made a mistake, but you still feel wronged?"
Before Xiao Yu finished speaking, Xiao Xuan suddenly leaned over and rushed into his arms, hugged him and cried loudly.
Xiao Yu was slammed by her, and her lower back was knocked against the carved carved part of the back of the chair behind her, and a dull pain hit.
"You." Xiao Yu raised her hand and wanted to hit her, but when the raised hand finally landed on the top of Xiao Xuan's head, it was gentle and helpless. "It's all big girls, why do you still come to this set when you were a child?"
When he was a child, if Xiao Xuan made any mistakes, as long as Xiao Yu started to teach his sister, Xiao Xuan would rush into his arms and cry loudly. Although most of the time it is thunder and rain, the howl is loud and the tears are not seen.
Xiao Yu easily hardened her heart, ready to count her. was so hand-picked by her, and she couldn't say anything more about the reprimand.
Waiting for Xiao Xuan's crying to subside, Wen and Zhao got up and helped Xiao Xuan, who was still sobbing, to get up, and Xiao Yu reached out and rubbed his back without a trace.
"Sister, stop crying." Wen took his handkerchief out, gently wiped her tears, looked at her already crying and swollen eyes, and said with pity. "Look at such a beautiful pair of eyes, they are crying and swollen. Your eldest brother knew that you had been wronged, so he rushed to the sixth brother's mansion to see you when he left the palace. ”
"Big brother, I know it's wrong." Xiao Xuan nodded and went to pull Xiao Yu's hand. "I won't sneak out of the palace like this next time."
"Hey, eldest brother knows that you like others and don't want to marry Cousin Yu." Xiao Yu sighed. "You are the daughter of the concubine, and the concubine will only want you to do well. If you explain the reason to your mother well, your mother will definitely fulfill you, and you will go to your father to cut it off first, and quarrel with your mother. With the brand given to you by your father, you only took the green forest and sneaked out of the palace, although the imperial capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but if something happens to you and the two girls in the green forest, what do you let us do? ”
"But the concubine said that she would not agree to the matter between me and Duan Shaolan." Xiao Xuan pouted and muttered quietly. "She said that she would definitely let me marry Cousin Yu, I only met Cousin Yu once, and I didn't want to marry him."
"The mother concubine is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, you don't know, saying that you must marry Cousin Yu is just a momentary anger." Xiao Yu nodded at the center of Xiao Xuan's eyebrows and said. "Your sister-in-law and I entered the palace early in the morning, and even if the concubine knew that you arrived at the sixth brother's mansion safely, she was so worried that she didn't sleep well all night. Xuan'er, you have always been more sensible and well-behaved than the sixth brother, why did you become stubborn about this. ”
"It's me who is ignorant and angry with my mother." Xiao Xuan heard that Emperor Liu's concubine was worried that she hadn't rested well all night, and the trace of resentment against Emperor Liu's concubine in her heart dissipated cleanly. "Did the mother and eldest brother say anything, is she still angry with me?"
"The mother concubine is not angry with you." Xiao Yu said to Xiao Xuan with a smile. In addition, she did not agree to the requests of her grandmother and aunt. She doesn't want you to marry Duan Shaolan, she has her own concerns. You are clever, don't you really understand the hard work of the mother concubine for you? Don't forget, no matter what Duan Shaolan says, he is a child of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the reason why the mother concubine didn't agree with you marrying him was because of this. Do you think the queen will definitely approve of this marriage and will not interfere with it? ”
Xiao Xuan's head was dizzy in those days, and he only thought that Emperor Liu's concubine wanted to beat the mandarin ducks, where did he want to get the queen's stubble.
Now that her wish has been granted, her brain is naturally much clearer, and Xiao Yu intends to dial it, so she will immediately come to her senses.
Now that the prince of Zhenguo has given up the house of his son-in-law, and has turned to fully support the house of his son, the position of the son may not be left behind in the future. As the concubine of the princess of Zhenguo, the queen can't see the plan of the prince of Zhenguo.
At present, the position of the reserve is undecided, and the queen can only give up her stubborn and incompetent brother and try to win over her brother's family.
After all, the younger brother himself is born, and his wife is also from the palace of real power, and even the son of the concubine has successfully shown his face in front of Emperor Chu because of his repeated meritorious contributions.
But when the queen and her brother were young, they had bullied their younger brother Duan Chengwen many times, and they had snubbed the county lord of Duansu earlier. Now to really win over the younger brother's family, he can only work Duan Chengwen's two children.
Sister Chu is young, and the queen frequently sends her will to recruit Sister Chu into the palace to speak. The county lord of Duansu was very vigilant, and the queen summoned her eight times out of ten times, but she refused for various reasons and did not let Sister Chu enter the palace.
Therefore, the queen could only think about starting with Duan Shaolan's marriage, and in only one or two years, she introduced many famous ladies to the lord of Duansu.
Duan Chengwen and Lord Duansu did not refuse directly, but Zhenguo Gong personally entered the palace to find the queen, so that the queen temporarily died down, but it does not mean that the queen really gave up.
"It's me who wants to fork in." Xiao Xuan lowered his head embarrassedly.
"Xuan'er, Duan Shaolan and I have known the sixth brother for many years, and I and the sixth brother still know his personality." Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Xuan, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in her heart. "In the future, if the matter between you and him is really done, we are all assured that he will marry you. The mother concubine also talked to me thoroughly, and my grandmother and aunt refused politely, and she agreed to the matter between you and Duan Shaolan. ”
"Really? Did the concubine really agree? Xiao Xuan covered her mouth in surprise.
"Big brother can still lie to you." Xiao Yu smiled. "When the sixth brother comes back, after lunch, your sister-in-law and I will personally send you back to the palace."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yu suddenly noticed another thing.
"By the way, where did your sixth brother take you early in the morning?" Xiao Yu reacted and asked.
Xiao Xuan knew that Xiao Yu was the most important courtesy, and if he knew about the meeting between himself and Duan Shaolan alone in Changchun Pavilion today, it would inevitably be another downfall. At that moment, he looked away, closed his mouth and did not answer.
Xiao Yu was just about to open his mouth to ask, but Xiao Jun walked in with a smile.
"Big brother, don't ask her." Xiao Jun smiled and walked straight to Xiao Yu's side and sat down, saying. "Xuan'er is sloppy, she is used to eating the dishes in the small kitchen in the Yihua Palace, but she is not used to eating the dishes in my house. I thought that it was rare for her to come to my house, and I couldn't wronged her, so I took her to the Ivy Pavilion early this morning to eat. ”
Xiao Jun's explanation, Xiao Yu listened to the half-truth, and the letter was about to be believed.
"I won't talk about her when she's young, if she sneaks out of the palace with the green forest in the evening, it will inevitably have something to say if others know." Xiao Yu turned his head and taught Xiao Jun a lesson. "The mother concubine is still hiding this matter for her in the palace, it's good for you to take her to the Ivy Spring Pavilion."
"Big brother, don't worry, I brought her a fence and arranged a carriage for the trip." Xiao Jun said with a smile. "I've arranged it for Ivy Pavilion, no one knows who she is."
Xiao Yu looked at his younger brother and sister, and had to sigh and admit it.
"Brother and sister, let's have lunch in the house today." Lazy to pay attention to Xiao Jun, who was not doing right, Xiao Yu had no choice but to say to Zhao on the side. "Thank you brother and sister for taking care of Xuan'er last night, and our husband and wife will send her back to the palace after lunch today."
"It is natural for the concubine to take care of the princess, and she deserves a thank you from His Royal Highness." Zhao said with a smile. "It stands to reason that the concubine and the sixth highness should send the princess back to the palace, but since the eldest highness wants to send it, the concubine will enter the palace with the sixth highness another day to make amends to the concubine."
