Chapter 38: The Lone Star
In the afternoon, the general's wife took her second daughter to the Qingge Palace.
The general's wife's maiden name is Xue, she is now thirty-three years old, she is dignified and beautiful, and she looks like a very gentle woman.
The Xue family gave birth to two daughters and a son, as well as several concubines and concubines.
The one she brought into the palace today was Xiao Zhilan, the second daughter.
As for the eldest daughter, it is Xiao Xixi, who has married into the East Palace.
As the general's wife, the Xue family has a four-rank destiny, but Xiao Xixi's Liangdi identity is from the third grade, which is just one level higher than her.
Xue Shi and Xiao Zhilan stood far away from Xiao Xixi and curtsied.
"Courtiers/courtiers meet Xiao Liangdi."
Xiao Xixi wanted to go over to help the Xue family.
Xue Shi seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly pulled his little daughter back.
It looked like he was hiding from a flood beast.
Xiao Xixi stopped, the smile on her face faded, and she said, "Mother doesn't have to be polite, there are no outsiders here, you can be casual." ”
Xue knew that his reaction just now was too great.
She hurriedly cleaned up her expression and said politely and politely: "The courtiers don't dare." ”
Xiao Zhilan hid behind her mother and looked at her sister curiously.
Xiao Zhilan has just turned ten years old this year, her face is round, her eyes are round and bright, and she is combing two bags and buns, looking like a doll on a New Year's painting, which is very cute.
Xiao Xixi asked Baoqin to bring some food to Xiao Zhilan.
Xiao Zhilan saw the delicious food and wanted to reach out to get it, but was stopped by her mother.
Xue coaxed in a low voice: "Xiaolan, let's not eat the things here, when we go home, my mother will make you something delicious." ”
Although Xiao Zhilan is only ten years old, she doesn't know anything.
She once overheard people talking about it, saying that she has a sister-in-law, but her sister is a lonely star, and her life is bad, as long as she is close to her, she will die.
So as soon as my sister was born, she was sent away, so that Xiao Zhilan had never seen this sister-in-law since she was born.
It wasn't until last year that her sister suddenly returned home that Xiao Zhilan saw her for the first time.
But the family didn't seem to treat her very well, and they all took a detour when they saw her.
Father and mother also told Xiao Zhilan and her brother that they were not allowed to talk to their sister, they were not allowed to stay with their sister, and they couldn't even take a look at their sister.
Usually when she eats, her sister eats alone in her own small courtyard, and she rarely goes out and doesn't interact with people.
It wasn't until the draft began that she took the initiative to walk out of the courtyard gate for the first time, stood in front of her father, and said that she wanted to marry into the East Palace.
My sister married the prince as she wished and became the prince Liangdi.
More than 100 people up and down the general's mansion also breathed a sigh of relief.
Xue protected his little daughter behind him, and she looked like a hen protecting her cubs, for fear that her cubs would be harmed.
When Xiao Xixi saw this scene, he playfully dispelled the idea of having a family relationship with Xue's family.
Xue Shi said cautiously: "The general heard that Xiao Liangdi was accidentally poisoned while attending the birthday banquet, and he was very worried, but the general has been too busy recently, and he is a foreign minister, so it is inconvenient to enter the harem, so he asked the courtier to take Xiao Lan to see you." ”
Xiao Xixi said: "With Daddy Lao to worry about, I'm almost better now." ”
Her gaze paused for a moment on Xue Shi and Xiao Zhilan, frowning slightly.
"Mother and sister must not cross the bridge these days, remember!"
Xue Shi was puzzled: "Why? ”
The family didn't know that Xiao Xixi was from the Xuanmen, and she didn't plan to leak this matter.
She said, "You don't have to ask why, you just have to remember what I said." ”
