"Actually, I was very different from her, and I began to approach her in order to use her to do something I wanted to do, but later, I gradually discovered her kindness, her intelligence, her resourcefulness, her beauty, and even her little temper in front of me, I felt unusually cute, so I decided to marry her, and I would be with her for the rest of my life, and protect her well."

Xiaohu listened, wrinkled his brows, and said righteously: "But you approach her with a purpose, and you want to use her, it is not pure love between you, I heard others say that pure love is true love." And you just said that you like her beauty, then you just like her surface, which is too superficial. ”

Chu Yaocen thought it was funny and asked her, "Where did you learn all this mess?" ”

"I heard it in the play." Xiaohu said.

Chu Yaocen smiled at her, looked at her with lowered eyes and said: "Approaching with a purpose is not true love, everything in this world has a certain cause and effect and cycle, her identity is my reason for approaching her, if she doesn't have that identity, and I don't have the kind of thing I want to do, I don't have the need to meet her, and I won't get close to her, let alone fall in love with her." And you say that liking appearance is superficial, so if I replace the words appearance, wealth, and status with kindness, innocence, and intelligence, do you think that the relationship between us is much purer? But why do you think so? Could it be that kindness and innocence are virtues, but not good looks and identities? But these are her things. ”

Xiaohu felt that what he said made some sense, but she felt that it didn't make sense, she was very entangled, thought for a while, and said: "Kindness and innocence are beautiful words, and appearance and family status are additional, additional things are easy to lose, and kindness will not be easily lost." ”

Chu Yaocen rubbed Xiaohu's hair like a younger sister, and said: "Your understanding is too simple, people are very complicated, but love is very simple, for people, nothing will not be easily changed, indeed, appearance and identity will be lost, but kindness and innocence may also be lost, but all this is owned by the person I love, for her, there is no priority, and there is no distinction between high and low." ”

Xiaohu seemed to understand, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Then who is the person you like?" Is she a fairy-looking girl with a kind heart? ”

Chu Yaocen suddenly wanted to tease her, and said, "It's your cousin, Chu Yaocen." ”

When Xiaohu heard this, his heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and said: "Your liking for your cousin is not what I said, I also like my cousin, but it's not like you, I like you like admiration, do you understand?" ”

Chu Yaocen really felt funny, he was actually taught by a little girl what is like and what is zuo love, what he said just now was really in vain. He asked Xiaohu, "Why do you think that my liking for your cousin is not admiration?" ”

"Because you're both men." Xiaohu looks like a matter of course, how can a man like a man?

It just so happened that Qingdi also came back at this time, Chu Yaocen looked at Qingdi who walked in slowly, smiled faintly, suddenly lowered his head, and asked softly in Xiaohu's ear: "Princess, have you heard of broken sleeves?" ”

Xiaohu blinked, shook his head, and asked curiously, "What is a broken sleeve?" ”

Chu Yaocen didn't speak, took a step forward, pulled the green flute who didn't know what was going on, and lowered his head to kiss it.

Qingdi was stunned, and Xiaohu was also stunned, but Chu Yaocen still looked complacent, and after letting go of Qingdi, he held her face and asked, "Quickly clean up, and go out of the palace with me later." ”

After speaking, Chu Yaocen smiled slyly, left first, and threw the grinding little tiger behind him to Qingdi.

Xiaohu really won't easily make Qingdi feel comfortable, she ran to Qingdi, looked up at her for a while, and Qingdi was a little embarrassed to see it, before she spoke, and asked seriously: "Cousin, what is the goodness of Longyang?" ”

As soon as Qingdi heard this, she almost guessed what Chu Yaocen was talking about just now, she wanted to explain to Xiaohu, don't listen to that person's nonsense, but think about it carefully, if Xiaohu understood the two of them as Longyang's goodness, would she not stare at Chu Yaocen again in the future?

It is estimated that Chu Yaocen also means this, so Qingdi explained: "The good thing about Longyang is that two men love each other and two men are together. ”

Xiaohu wrung his brows and said, "I don't understand, men and women should love each other all over the world, why do you two men love each other?" ”

"Two of us men?" Qingdi reacted immediately, and made a helpless look, nodded and said: "I don't want to, but I can't help it, love is love, and it has nothing to do with men and women." ”

When Xiaohu heard this, he was about to cry, went over and grabbed Qingdi's sleeve, and begged pitifully: "Cousin, I also love Lu Gongzi very much, can you give him to me?" ”

Qingdi was a little helpless, and asked her rhetorically: "He is not my appendage, how can I say let it?" You'll have to ask him. ”

An ordinary woman, when facing her rival, even if she is not familiar with the world, she will hate it from the bottom of her heart. So Xiaohu angrily slapped Qingdi's chest and said loudly: "You hate it!" ”

With that, he ran away.

After she left, Chu Yaocen appeared out of nowhere, with an angry smile on the corner of her mouth, leaning against the door and looking at Qingdi with bad intentions.

Qingdi glared at him and said, "You still have a smile, the emperor and the empress love Xiaohu so much, if she goes back to sue me, I guess I will be kicked out of the palace, how can we ask the emperor to send troops to help us in the future?" You just take care of your own lightness, why don't you think about me? ”

"Okay, don't be angry, believe me, Xiaohu will never sue you." Chu Yaocen walked over and grabbed her, and said, "Come out of the palace with me, Jianye's buns are delicious, and you won't be able to eat them when it's late." ”

Qingdi was really speechless, at this juncture, she didn't think about how to please Xiaohu, but took her out to eat steamed buns, which was enough. Qingdi sighed, and finally went out with Chu Yaocen. Thinking about it again, rebellion or something is his business, she is just a foil, so don't want the emperor to be in a hurry and the eunuch to be in a hurry.

And as Chu Yaocen expected, Xiaohu did not go to sue. Because Xiaohu still likes this cousin very much, if she sues and the emperor drives her cousin away, then there will be no one to play with her in the future.

Xiaohu went back and cried for a while, and fell asleep when he was tired of crying. When she woke up, she suddenly found that there were many more tailors in her bedroom, all waiting quietly outside.

Xiaohu was very curious, because usually only when there was a major sacrifice, so many tailors would come to make new clothes for her. But there have obviously been no major sacrifices recently, and seeing that so many of them are here, I guess I'm quite anxious. So Xiaohu asked, "What are you all doing in my palace?" ”

The tailor at the head said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the minions just received a notice from the Empress that there is a very important dinner tonight, and the crown prince of the Beidi Kingdom has come to our Li Kingdom, so they sent the minions over to make a new set of clothes for Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Bei Di Kingdom?" Xiaohu remembered some of the descriptions about Bei Zhai that Zhang Xiuhe mentioned to her before, it seems that the further north you go, the stronger the people are, the people of Li are quite normal, the people of Bei Zhai are all rough people, there is no such gentle and elegant as Wu Guo and Li Guo, they ride on horseback every day, hunting everywhere on horseback, they are tall and mighty, they are like lions.

Xiaohu's interest came again, so she got out of bed and asked the tailors in the palace to measure her body and make new clothes.

Due to the mobilization of the power of the tailors in the entire palace, the new clothes were made in one afternoon, and soon after Xiaohu put on the new clothes, someone came to pick up Xiaohu to the banquet.

Before Xiaohu went out, he asked the palace man headed by him: "Is today's dinner just a royal family banquet, and the ministers don't attend?" ”

The palace man nodded and said, "Yes, only the princess's brothers are here." ”

"Are my cousin and Lu Gongzi also there?"

"Gongzi Chu is the princess's cousin, so he is here, but Gongzi Lu is not from the royal family, and the queen mother did not let Gongzi Lu go over." The palace man explained.

"Is the crown princess, and the concubines of my other brothers, all there?"

The palace people nodded: "They are all with the princes." ”

Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "Okay, you go and call Lu Gongzi too, because Lu Gongzi is also his cousin's lover and needs to be by his side." ”

The people in this palace don't understand, it's obviously two men? How can there be lovers? And the queen didn't give orders, it seemed a little bad to rashly take an outsider to the family banquet, so she said: "Princess, the queen didn't ...... order"

"Just go and I'll tell the queen mother."

Hearing that the princess asked for this, he had no choice but to do it, and after informing Qingdi and Chu Yaocen, Qingdi thought about it for a while, and said with his eyebrows: "What is Bei Zhai doing all the way to Wu Guo?" ”

"Yes, Bei Di and Wu Guo didn't have any friendship before, but obviously, Bei Zhai should have heard about the current situation of Li Guo and knew that they were in civil strife now, so Xu wanted to come over to win over Wu Guo and deal with Li Guo together." Chu Yaocen hooked the corners of his mouth, "But Bei Zhai is too impatient, now Li Guo has not really messed up, Yin Sheng is just retreating to the northern frontier, Yin Lihui has captured the imperial city, but the two have obviously not fought yet." Even if Wu Guo had the idea of sending troops, he would not rush to send troops now. ”

"That's not the case, since it's looking for an alliance, naturally the sooner the better." Qingdi also understood Bei Di's purpose, and said, "Since the princess is kindly invited, let's go and see what the hell this Bei Zhai prince wants to do." ”
