Xiao Jun learned such a lesson from Emperor Liu, and after Concubine Liu finished mentioning him, she didn't bother to look at this unlucky son who continued to dangle in front of her eyes, and she was upset and irritable when she saw it.

"Let's get out of the palace quickly." Concubine Liu Huang caught a glimpse of the sky outside through the windowsill and drove Xiao Jun away. "At this hour, your eldest brother should still be in the mansion and hasn't gone out, and you can still talk to him about today's events in the past."

"Mother, before dawn, you sent someone to your son's house to summon your son, and the son immediately got up to change his clothes and came, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment." Xiao Jun was hungry and said with a wry smile to Emperor Liu. "My son hasn't even drunk a sip of hot tea yet. Won't the concubine really annoy me and leave me for a few bites of breakfast before leaving? ”

"Go, go, I'm annoyed looking at you right now." Concubine Liu looked at him impatiently, waved at him, and still wanted to drive him away. "Go to your eldest brother's mansion, he still can't miss a bite of food for you."

Xiao Jun looked at Xiao Xuan on the side, Xiao Xuan had just been told by Emperor Liu's concubine, where did she dare to intercede for Xiao Jun.

Xiao Jun had to leave Yihua Palace obediently and go out of the palace.

Waiting for Xiao Jun to leave, Emperor Liu's concubine and Xiao Xuan's mother and daughter were relatively speechless. Concubine Liu took a spoon and drank bird's nest in small sips. Xiao Xuan cautiously looked at Emperor Liu's face, not daring to get up and leave, nor daring to speak without permission.

She sat quietly on one side.

Seeing Xiao Xuan sitting on the side obediently, Concubine Liu was not in a hurry to speak, and slowly drank the small bowl of bird's nest in front of her.

"That little girl has settled in your grandmother's house?" Concubine Liu Huang put down the spoon in her hand, Sui Hong hurriedly asked people to come forward and clean up, and Concubine Liu Huang took a handkerchief and wiped it lightly on her lips, as if unintentionally.

"Yes, the daughter asked her grandmother for help to temporarily settle Cheng Cheng in her grandmother's house. Living in the yard that my grandmother set up for me, Cheng Cheng Cheng has a very incomplete mind and can't speak without a tongue. I left Huang Yu and Yuezi in my grandmother's mansion, one to take care of Cheng Cheng, and the other to take care of her. ”

"Okay, it's right for you to keep someone to watch over that little girl."

"Mother, my grandmother said that she would make a new identity for Cheng Cheng at the household registration office, and wait for my princess's mansion to be built in the future, and then my grandmother will give it to me from the house. Her identity has passed like this, and no one can say anything anymore. ”

"Alright, now that you've taken care of it." Concubine Liu looked at her daughter, who had grown up. "When your father came to Yihua Palace last night, he told me about you and the child of the Duan family. A few days ago, the Ministry of Rites presented to His Majesty the auspicious days for the marriage of the eldest princess, and His Majesty chose the eighth day of the third month. ”

"Is that so? On the eighth day of March next year, the spring will be warm and cold. Xiao Xuan heard that Xiao Lu was scheduled to get married, and she was going to get married next year, Xiao Xuan inevitably thought of Duan Shaolan who returned to the imperial capital safely at this time, and two blushes appeared on the girl's cheeks. Speaking of which, when I went to the Zhenguo Mansion before, I bumped into my eldest sister her. ”

"Do you think your big sister has changed since she ended the confinement this time?" Emperor Liu's concubine has never seen Xiao Lu who was released.

"The eldest sister's body doesn't seem to be so healthy, her face is pale, and her body seems to be a weak willow supporting the wind. I was used to seeing her flying and domineering in the past, and now that I see her delicate and sick beauty, I feel a little strange when I look at her. Xiao Xuan thought back to the last time she met Xiao Lu. The eldest sister took the initiative to go to the Zhenguo Mansion, and heard that the eldest sister's future concubine happened to be in the mansion that day. It's like a queen's mother, thinking about letting the big sister and the future colt meet. The eldest sister's temperament seems to have changed for the better, so she went obediently. ”

"What if she doesn't go, at that time, the affairs of the palace were not only the two of you sisters present, several young ladies of the family and the people they served always revealed this matter in a bad manner. The eldest princess herself has a bad reputation in the imperial capital, and this matter has been even worse after it has been spread. Emperor Liu said with a sneer. The queen's maiden son, the son of the prince of the country's mansion, is already the best marriage that her identity and reputation can match. If there was no queen as a guarantee at that time, waiting for her to be sent to Famen Temple, and then being released a year later, she would only have to marry far away from the imperial capital. The eldest princess is arrogant by nature, where can she endure it. ”

Although Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lu have been at odds for many years, the two of them are sisters with half royal blood. Xiao Xuan doesn't like her, but he also understands her.

"Hey, you." Emperor Liu's concubine thought of Xiao Xuan's marriage in the future, and couldn't help but sigh often. "The eldest princess is such an unfavorable person, and she is also married to the son of the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion. I can imagine what others will think of you when Your Majesty makes your marriage public. ”

The royal princess is noble, and Emperor Chu only has two daughters under his knees, the eldest princess and Princess Zhaoyue, and they are about to fall into the Zhenguo Mansion. Princess Zhaoyue, who is much higher than the eldest princess in terms of background and favor, can only marry the son of the son of the Zhenguo Mansion.

"Mother, what do you care what others say?" Xiao Xuan stood up, walked behind Concubine Liuhuang, and massaged the tense muscles of her shoulders and neck. "I fancy him in the first place, not because of his family background, he will be good to me in the future."

"That's it, you are already the daughter of the most noble person in the world, and you don't need to ask for a prominent marriage to add to your cake." Emperor Liu said. "Your princess and the prince are different, Princess Jokhang does not need to marry, the prince's concubine and side concubine candidates need to be carefully chosen, the relationship between husband and wife is not the first, the background and good boudoir upbringing, and dealing with people are the first. Although your eldest brother and sixth brother have some unconscious people in the mansion, fortunately, the two concubines are very good and can support the palace well. ”

"Yes, the two sisters-in-law are very outstanding in character and knowledge." Xiao Xuan bowed her head and echoed Emperor Liu's concubine.

"Your marriage is different, you can enter the court or not, you are a woman, a good or bad marriage will have a great impact on your life. The mother concubine turned out to be as clear as you thought through yourself, but fortunately, the mother concubine figured it out. Concubine Liu raised her hand and shook Xiao Xuan's hand. Wait for the eldest princess to get married, and your marriage will be announced to the world soon. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Xuan's cheeks were a little hot. "My daughter knows."

"Well, you're the one who likes to sleep the most." From last night to this morning, after Emperor Chu left Yihua Palace, although she leaned on her clothes in bed for a while, she couldn't sleep because she had something in her heart after burning the note. Now that he has scolded his little son and little daughter who are not so sensible, he has put down the things in his heart, and he gradually feels a little sleepy. "You go back and rest for a while, and I'll send someone to call you at noon."

Xiao Xuan saw the tiredness in the corners of Emperor Liu's eyes and eyebrows, so he withdrew from the palace of Emperor Liu's concubine with his head.

Dan Tangerine, who was waiting outside the hall, saw Xiao Xuan come out and hurriedly greeted him.

"Princess, what's wrong with Fang Cai?" When Xiao Xuan went in before, the dantang behind her was stopped outside the hall. "The sixth prince was also in Niangniang's palace before."

"Nothing." After coming out, Xiao Xuan was also a little tired.

Seeing that her expression was different, Dan Tang hurriedly stepped forward to support Xiao Xuan.

"Princess, is this sleepy?" Dan Tang hurriedly asked, turning his head and helping Xiao Xuan to the palace where she lived. "The slave will help you go back to rest and rest, right?"

"Uh-huh."

In the Lingyun Palace, as soon as Duan Shaolan saw Emperor Chu's face, he handed over the case file hidden close to him to Wu Chuan and presented it to Emperor Chu for inspection.

Emperor Chu's face was solemn, and he took the case file in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Duan Shaolan stood in the hall with his hands down, and Emperor Chu didn't speak, so he didn't say a word.

Although the case file is not very long, it is written in the key points and carefully, and it is written simply and clearly. Emperor Chu just glanced at it a few times, and he only felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath.

Emperor Chu was about to raise his head to slow down, but he saw that Duan Shaolan was still standing in place waiting for the summons.

"Wu Chuan." Counting it, Emperor Chu still loves the house and Wu, Duan Shaolan is his favorite little daughter's future concubine, Duan Shaolan himself is also a child who is in and out of the house, Emperor Chu summoned Wu Chuan. "Give me a seat,"

Wu Chuan immediately arranged for a stool to come over.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward, the minister can still hold it." Duan Shaolan resigned.

"You still don't have to excuse yourself, otherwise Xuan'er will know, you will enter the palace overnight to report the case, and I will let you do something standing. I'm afraid she's going to make trouble with me, so sit down. "Emperor Chu immediately put down the case file in his hand, the left and right case files are already in hand, most of the case facts are actually clear, and how to deal with it afterwards is not in a hurry." Also, what happened to your injuries? The previous hidden investigation was not conducive to recuperating from injuries, but now you return to the imperial capital and rest for a while to recuperate. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the injuries on Wei Chen's body are far lighter than those of several other colleagues. Jiangnan's colleagues also helped me deal with it, and the injury was still under control. Duan Shaolan got up again and knelt down to thank him. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. ”

"I don't have to look at this case file in detail now." Emperor Chu's fingers tapped on the case file and said with some disappointment. "When you didn't come back, I had a suspicion in my mind. When I saw this case file today, I confirmed my conjecture in my heart. ”

"Your Majesty, with all due respect. The prefect of Jiangnan Fucheng relied on the prestige of the second prince to be powerful and prosperous in the Jiangnan generation, and committed more than one crime. Duan Shaolan's face also sank slightly, unlike Emperor Chu, who had only seen the facts of the case in the case file, Duan Shaolan, who had personally ascertained everything, knew the hatefulness and hatred of it.
