Chapter 246: Thank You
When Xiao Jun was born, Emperor Liu's concubine had already gained a firm foothold in the harem by giving birth to Emperor Chu's eldest son and years of favor.
Because she was injured when she gave birth to Xiao Yu, Emperor Liu's concubine gave birth to Emperor Chu's youngest son Xiao Jun after a few years.
As soon as Xiao Jun landed, there were four older brothers who survived above him, including his own brother Emperor Chu's eldest son and the queen's adopted son. The path set for him by Emperor Chu and Emperor Liu's concubine is just to let him be a peace of mind and idle king in the future.
Xiao Jun has grown up to such an age, except for occasionally making some trivial things that are not enough to worry about, it is just to let Emperor Liu's concubine spend her energy on marriage.
Although Xiao Jun said that in front of outsiders, as the youngest son of Emperor Chu, he was the most favored and tolerated by Emperor Chu among all the princes.
Right now, except for what Xiao Xuan said, Xiao Jun has almost nothing to criticize.
If it is on weekdays, Xiao Jun's mansion has the concubine Zhao in charge, and the Zhao family is soft and weak, but she is very smart. After marrying Xiao Jun, he not only won the love of his mother-in-law, Concubine Liuhuang, but also Xiao Jun. In addition, although Zhao looks weak on the outside, he has his own means of acting. The affairs in the house and those side concubines and concubines, none of which she handled very well.
This time, Xiao Jun was ordered to go to Jiangnan for disaster relief on behalf of Emperor Chu, in case Xiao Jin's plan was really what Xiao Xuan just said. If Xiao Jun really fell for Xiao Jun's scheme, if Xiao Jin made a fuss about this matter after Xiao Jun returned to the imperial capital, I don't know how many officials would talk about it.
But if Xiao Jin kept it a secret and regarded the woman as a pawn to spy on Xiao Jun's mansion in the future, the harm would be even greater.
Thinking of this, Emperor Liu's concubine and Xiao Yu were silent.
Xiao Jin may have hidden those people in Jiangnan, because they were hidden deep enough, and even the Jinqiwei who went to Jiangnan on the orders of Emperor Chu at that time did not find out those people.
It is true that as Xiao Xuan said, the women in Jiangnan are very in line with Xiao Jun's aesthetics, and Xiao Jin's words to make the beauty plan have a great chance of success.
"I know what Xuan'er said, and when I return to the house today, I will immediately send someone out of the imperial capital to chase the sixth brother. Either way, give him a heads-up. Xiao Yu's fingers rubbed subconsciously, and he said after a while. If the sixth brother is unprepared, he will be more likely to be hit. After my people made peace with him, he was warned that the situation would be fine, and the sixth brother was not a faint person who was faint and blind. ”
"Well, let's do what you said. No matter what Xiao Jin is going to do, we can't know at the moment, so we can only let Jun'er be on guard. "Concubine Liu had a headache, but for the time being, this matter can only be dealt with according to Xiao Yu's words.
Xiao Yu wanted to go back to his house to arrange the follow-up matters, so he didn't stay long and went out of the palace directly.
"It's not too early, the palace gate should have been given a long time ago." Concubine Liu looked at Xiao Xuan and said. "You should also go out of the palace."
"Mother, are you okay?" Xiao Xuan got up and wanted to leave, and when she saw the appearance of Emperor Liu's frowning face, she asked worriedly. "Is your head uncomfortable, can I press it for you?"
"Okay, I'll enjoy your service once." Concubine Liu just wanted to shake her head, but after thinking about it, she chuckled and said to Xiao Xuan. "Press it for me."
Xiao Xuan nodded, turned around and walked back behind Concubine Liuhuang, put his hands on her shoulders, and massaged her with moderate force. Concubine Liu really didn't expect that Xiao Xuan's subordinates could still have some strength, she kneaded behind her for a while, and her headache was actually relieved a lot.
However, after waiting for Xiao Xuan to press it for a while, Emperor Liu still stopped her.
"You'd better go back today." Emperor Liu personally sent Xiao Xuan to the door of Yihua Palace. "You handled it very well this time, let you write down the favor of the Hu family for the time being, if there is really something that the Hu family needs help in the future, remember to return this favor to her."
"Okay."
The carriage of the princess's mansion came, and Emperor Liu watched Xiao Xuan board the carriage and leave.
The carriage stopped outside the princess's mansion for a while, and Duan Shaolan, who got the news, immediately came out to pick her up.
"Is the matter settled?" When Duan Shaolan came over, Xiao Xuan happened to get out of the carriage and stood on the wheel to get down. "Slow down, I'll help you down."
Xiao Xuan stood on the wheel, looked at Duan Shaolan's hand stretched out towards her, and put his hand on his palm without the slightest hesitation.
Duan Shaolan held her hand tightly and helped her walk down slowly.
"I'll leave it to my eldest brother." Xiao Xuan said with a smile at him.
"Well, let's go first." Duan Shaolan stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Xuan, supported her waist, and led her to the house.
After the husband and wife went to bed at night, Duan Shaolan slept on the outside of the bed, and as soon as he lay on the bed, Xiao Xuan, who had not yet fallen asleep, immediately leaned into her arms.
Duan Shaolan hugged her and kissed her on the forehead.
"What the hell is going on?" In the dead of night, at this time, only the faint sound of cicadas was heard outside the bed tent, and Duan Shaolan still couldn't help but ask Xiao Xuan. "Although you have the privilege of entering the palace at any time with the permission of Your Majesty, you have always acted prudently, and rarely use such privileges. Yiwang has just set off, is something wrong with him? ”
"The sixth brother went to Jiangnan for disaster relief this time, blocking the way of the second brother." After Xiao Xuan hesitated for a moment, he still decided to tell Duan Shaolan everything about today's incident.
Xiao Xuan leaned into his arms and told him everything.
Duan Shaolan suddenly knew these things, and he also needed a little time to digest them.
"Right now, His Royal Highness King Qin's disposition is the most effective." Duan Shaolan thought about it calmly, and I have to say that Xiao Yu's approach is the best at present. "The finishing work of the Jiangnan case was the responsibility of Jinqiwei in the past, and some of the people who closed it in the past had a good relationship with me, why don't I go to them in the past two days to ask them to see if they have any clues before." If I can inquire about some, it will also be convenient for His Royal Highness King Yi to deal with it in Jiangnan. ”
"yes, okay." Xiao Xuan buried his head sullenly in Duan Shaolan's chest and answered.
Duan Shaolan hugged her and comforted her.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest." Duan Shaolan said. "Don't worry too much, the people sent by His Majesty to His Royal Highness King Yi this time are all the elite of the pennant guard. Even if King Jinjun wants to make some stupid moves to His Royal Highness King Yi, now that he has a hint, he can always deal with it. ”
"Okay." Xiao Xuan's emotions gradually calmed down under Duan Shaolan's soothing, and then he gradually became a little sleepy.
Early in the morning of the second day, after sending Duan Shaolan away. Xiao Xuan sat left and right in the house without incident, and suddenly someone called Suihong.
"Princess?" Sui Hong heard that Xiao Xuan was looking for her, so she immediately put down the things in her hand and came over. "Do you have any instructions for finding slaves?"
"Well, prepare a carriage for me."
"Okay, slave maid, let people go down and prepare." Spike Hong paused for a moment before asking tentatively again. "I wonder where the princess is going?"
"I'm going to the King's Mansion." Xiao Xuan thought that he couldn't be quiet at all just by staying in the mansion stupidly.
"Princess, how did you think of where you were going?" Sui Hong was very surprised when she heard this, although Xiao Xuan and the Hu family did have a good relationship in private.
But most of the contacts between them are the Hu family's initiative to go to Princess Zhaoyue's mansion, and Xiao Xuan rarely goes to the palace of the prince of Jinjun.
"My second sister-in-law helped me, and I always had to say thank you to her back then." Xiao Xuan shouted to Dan Tang and Green Forest to prepare for the ceremony, and said to Suihong. "It's okay, don't worry too much, I'll be back after noon at most."
"Yes, the slave knows." Sui Hong knew Xiao Xuan's temperament, so she didn't say anything more.
Hu was originally asking about the homework of the three children in the house, but fortunately, although the children had a lot of fun on weekdays, they had not relaxed their studies.
Xiangdong suddenly came in from outside and told her that Princess Zhaoyue had come over, and the person had now been led to the front hall of the Jinjun Mansion and sat down.
"You take your brothers and sisters down to change your clothes first." Hu probably knew Xiao Xuan's intention and got up calmly.
"Mother, mother." When the children heard Xiangdong's words, they suddenly made a fuss. "Is my little aunt here?"
"Yes, it's my little aunt who came to see you." Hu Si leaned over and smiled at the children. "So the concubine will go to entertain your little aunt first, and then you can change your clothes and go to greet her."
Xiao Xuan's children have always been very good, and the children listened to Hu's words and obediently followed their respective nurses back to the room to change their clothes.
Hu sorted out and sorted out his clothes in the mirror, and went directly to the front hall.
Xiao Xuan came uninvited, and with her identity, the people of the Jinjun Palace's Mansion still treated her as a guest and respectfully led her to the front hall to sit for a while.
"I've seen my second sister-in-law." After taking a sip of tea, Xiao Xuan looked up and saw Hu Shi coming, put down the tea cup in his hand and got up. "I'm not invited to come today and bother my second sister-in-law."
"What's the bother, I wish you were a guest." Hu stepped forward affectionately and grabbed Xiao Xuan's hand. "Sit down and talk, I'm watching the children's homework in my room just now, and they don't know how happy they are to know that you're here."
"It's my fault as a little aunt, I haven't come to see them in a few days." Xiao Xuan said with a smile. "What about the children?"
"They have been messing around for a long time, and I will let them all go and change their clothes and come over to greet you." Hu Shi waved his hand at Xiangdong outside the door, and Xiangdong immediately took a few steps back with someone. "You're here today for the letter I sent yesterday, right?"
"Well, the second sister-in-law's heart came in time." Xiao Xuan solemnly thanked the Hu family. "Not only me, but also my eldest brother and mother will remember the favor of the second sister-in-law."
