Chapter 105: Turning the Face

Two days later, the eldest princess of Yongshou, who had a minor illness and did not leave for the palace with Emperor Chu's team, sent someone to send a letter to Emperor Liu's concubine, saying that she had set off and would arrive in less than two days.

Because the children in the family are still too young, the He family and the Ouyang family, together with their daughters-in-law, have decided to stay in the imperial capital to take care of the children, and the men are still busy with official business, so naturally they must stay in the imperial capital.

At present, Princess Mu, who is living in the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou, Xu has already learned from the eldest princess of Yongshou that Emperor Liu refused the marriage between the palace of King Mu and the royal family, and at this time, she also said that she was sick and stayed in the imperial capital to recuperate.

Although Princess Mu stayed in the imperial capital in the future, the letter of the eldest princess of Yongshou was written, and Mu Tingyu would accompany her to the Feiyu Mountain Palace to escape the summer.

"Put it away for me." Concubine Liu folded the letter in her hand and handed it to Suihong, who was serving on the side.

"Yes, sissy."

"Has the yard where my mother used to live have been cleaned?" Emperor Liu Guifei leaned back slightly, leaned back on the back of the chair, and asked. "Although my mother will bring some maids and maids out from the eldest princess's mansion, I still have to pick some people to serve them, and you can find someone to arrange this matter. I had to get everything in order before my mother arrived. ”

"The slave maid will arrange for someone to go immediately, and be sure to do everything before the arrival of the eldest princess of Yongshou." Suihong went out for a trip, arranged all the things under her hands, and when she turned her head and came back, she saw that Emperor Liu's concubine was still sitting in the same place, looking into the distance with a little daze.

"Niangniang, how did you get this look?" Sui Hong didn't understand the abnormality of Emperor Liu's concubine, and asked suspiciously. "Is there anything else that's missing?"

"Nope." Concubine Liu Huang listened to Suihong's voice, shook her head, and asked again after a while. "Where did the princess run again, she woke up early in the morning and disappeared."

"Back to Niangniang, yesterday the princess made an appointment with Sister Chu of the Duan family and the little county lord of the Xianwang Mansion, saying that they would go boating on the lake and pick lotuses." Spike replied. "That's why the princess got up early today."

"I said that I grew up, but I just thought about playing all day long." Thinking of her daughter, Concubine Liu Huang sighed helplessly and said. "It's just that the sun is about to get bigger, and you see that it's almost an hour, so send someone to call them back, so that they don't get sunburned. By the way, I invited Sister Chu and the little county lord to come over for me, and I invited them to have a meal. ”

Suihong was busy, seeing that there was something else to do. Concubine Liu Huang waved her hand, signaling her to go by herself, and there was no need to wait in front of her. Anyway, the palace doesn't need to be the imperial palace, and the rules are not so strict.

"How many people does the slave call to serve the mother?" Spike asked before leaving.

"No, I'm a little tired, and I'm fine, thinking about lying down again." Concubine Liu Huang said as she got up.

Seeing this, Sui Hong hurriedly walked a few steps forward and helped Emperor Liu to go up to the chaise longue leaning against the window.

Emperor Liu's concubine lay down, and Suihong took a thin blanket and hid it beside Emperor Liu's concubine.

"Mother, you can rest." Suihong said. "I told them to stand guard outside the door, and the mother could call them at any time if she needed anything."

On the other side, an elaborate painting boat floats leisurely in the lake.

In the cabin, all three tables were full. I don't know how the news of Xiao Xuan's boating got out today, before Xiao Xuan was about to get on the boat with someone, Xiao Lu came uninvited.

"Big sister?" Xiao Xuan was a little surprised, but he reacted immediately, and immediately took the initiative to step forward and say to Xiao Lu with a bright smile on his face. "It's a coincidence today, it's been almost a month since I came to the palace, and I've only seen my sister twice. It's rare for me to get up early today, but I can meet you near my yard. ”

"I'm not like my sister, I like to sleep in, I wake up early and go out for a walk every day." Xiao Lu also said with a smile. "I happened to see my sister today, and as the eldest sister, I can't turn a blind eye."

"Greetings to Celestia." Seeing this, the little county lord of King Xian's Mansion stepped forward with Sister Chu behind him and asked Xiao Lu for peace.

Several other invited ladies of the family also stepped forward to say hello one by one.

"Look, sister, this is going to go boating?" Xiao Lu can do face work now, and smiled and asked the young ladies to get up. "Although I came uninvited, I wonder if my sister can invite me to come with me?"

"Naturally, you can." Xiao Xuan said, let Lu Lin go and tell the boatmen on the painting boat to put down the sampan, and she took the initiative to turn sideways. "Older sister, let's be the first to get on the boat."

When they arrived at the top of the painting boat, the ladies scattered in twos and threes, and each of them went to look at the scenery and talk.

Xiao Xuan and the little county lord stood together with Sister Chu, and Sister Chu cautiously looked back at Xiao Lu, who was standing alone in the stern of the boat. Xiao Lu was obviously facing away from them, but when Sister Chu'er's eyes just fell on her, she turned her head sharply as if she had a pair of eyes on her back.

Sister Chu was startled, and before she could look away. Xiao Lu's eyes were firmly fixed on her, the corners of her mouth slowly rose, and she showed a smile at Sister Chu.

Sister Chu was frightened by her smile, and immediately shrank behind Xiao Xuan, still pulling Xiao Xuan's sleeve tightly in her hand.

"Don't be afraid." Xiao Xuan knew that Sister Chu was afraid of Xiao Lu, so she patted her hand gently as if comforting, and comforted her softly. "I'm here."

"Yes." The little county lord of King Xian's Mansion also comforted Sister Chu. "My cousin is too."

"Uh-huh." Sister Chu's temperament is more cowardly, even if Xiao Xuan and the little county lord have comforted her, she still can't let go. On the observation deck of the painting boat, she just followed Xiao Xuan step by step, tightening Xiao Xuan's sleeves and not relaxing.

"Forget it, we've been watching this scene for a long time, and we've seen the sun getting bigger and bigger." Xiao Xuan had no choice but to take the initiative to say. "I've ordered fresh tea and fruit to be prepared, so let's go and sit down in the cabin."

The palace is cool, but the summer sun is scorching. In the end, these girls love beauty, and they looked up at the sun, for fear of tanning themselves, and they all came from Ying and Xiao Xuan.

Since the painting boat, Xiao Lu did not take the initiative to go to Xiao Xuan's side, and only stood alone with Brother Parrot.

It's just that from time to time she glances at Xiao Xuan, even if Xiao Xuan has her back to her at this time, she can feel her gaze wandering over her, as if she is being stared at by a poisonous snake with bright fangs.

Instead of being watched by Xiao Lu in such a vague and gloomy manner, Xiao Xuan gradually lost her patience, and wished that she would simply step forward, just tear it up, so as to save it from such consumption.

"Whose lady is this next to my sister?" Xiao Xuan thought so, Xiao Lu really took the initiative to come forward, sat on Xiao Xuan's table, and sat face-to-face with Xiao Xuan. "I don't look very familiar."

"Big sister is a noble person, how forgetful." Xiao Xuan straightened his waist and said with his eyes looking directly at Xiao Lu. "Back then, my sister ignored the big day like the queen's birthday, and she was shouting and shouting in the imperial garden to kill, did the big sister really forget about it?"

"It turns out that she is a little concubine in the Zhenguo Mansion." Xiao Lu raised the corners of her mouth, and her eyes swept over Sister Chu beside Xiao Xuan, and Sister Chu immediately lowered her head. "She's just a concubine, so I naturally can't remember her."

"Big sister is wrong." Xiao Xuan immediately replied to her. "When Sister Chu hit the ground, she hugged her mother-in-law and raised her mother-in-law, and after the full moon, she was recorded in her mother's name. The county lord of Duansu is from the Xianwang Mansion, and the clan is close to the branch, so it stands to reason that Sister Chu can also call the eldest sister a cousin. The pure county lord of the Xianwang Mansion is also standing next to me now, and the eldest sister is better to speak politely. ”

"Yes, my aunt was born in the clan, and the things that Sister Chu recorded in her name were all reported to the Zongren Mansion. She is the proper concubine of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the serious cousin of our Xianwang Mansion. "The little county lord leans on the Xianwang Mansion behind him, and he is also full of confidence when he faces Xiao Lu." It's better for the eldest princess not to call her a concubine. ”

"Sister, I can understand that the little county lord is eager to protect my sister." Xiao Lu was scolded by the little county lord like this, instead of being angry, she laughed, turned her eyes to look at Xiao Xuan, who was pale, and suddenly changed her words. "Why are you protecting her like this? I heard that she also has a compatriot unmarried brother, who is also recorded in the name of her mother-in-law, isn't it that her brother has a relationship with her sister, and her sister supports her like this? ”

Xiao Lu suddenly threw out such words, and the young ladies who were pretending to be deaf and dumb in the cabin couldn't hide their gossip hearts, and they all looked at it.

The Jokhang atmosphere is open, and there are not many scruples about interacting between unmarried men and women.

But Xiao Xuan, a princess who grew up in the deep palace, has a special relationship with a foreign man, and no one wants to hear such gossip.

"Big sister is out one by one, but after all, big sister, aren't you also a concubine?" Xiao Xuan's calm reaction was not what Xiao Lu expected, Xiao Xuan said very indifferently. "My sister and I were not born from the queen's womb, aren't we all concubines? The eldest sister came here in a hurry, and didn't she say all kinds of rhetoric just to say what she had just said? ”

"It seems that my sister is not ready to cover up?"

"What is there to hide this, Duan Shaolan and I are unmarried women and unmarried men, what if I really have an affair with him?" Xiao Xuan had already guessed what Xiao Lu was planning to do, so she simply tore this matter apart by herself, but let Xiao Lu have no support to speak.

"What does my sister mean to admit it? You are a royal princess, and you are not afraid of falling into our royal face when you have a private affair with a foreign man? ”

"Face?" Xiao Xuan snorted lightly and said. "That's right. At that time, my sister also went to find her father and begged for one person, but she was scolded by her father, and my sister lost face at that time. But if I go to my father and cry and beg now, my father feels sorry for me, and he will only give me a will to give marriage, and save face for me, this is the biggest difference between you and me. ”
