Mama Jiang didn't tell Xiao Yuan in the end, she only said that Xu Jieyu pleaded with the king, but the king was ruthless and didn't let the ninth princess go.

Xiao Yuan went back to the west side hall, let Xian Xian inquire about it, and he would know what was going on.

"Things in this harem are really complicated, and I don't know what these women are thinking."

Xiao Yuan thought about it so much that his head hurt, so he simply asked Xian Xian not to ask about these things.

"They make trouble with them, we enjoy us, and it has nothing to do with us if something happens."

Xiao Yuan shook off her hand, and Su Su hurriedly stepped forward and gently rubbed her wrist.

"Isn't Your Highness compiling the "Great Zhou Food Chronicle"? Why did you write a book again? ”

"Gongyezhi's speed of writing a book is too slow, I can't enjoy reading it, so I'll write a book and try it. If this book sells well, I'll write a few more in the future. ”

He helped dry and put away the few pages that Xiao Yuan had just written, and said with a smile: "Your Highness's book is better than Gongye Langjun's, and the maid likes to read His Highness." Gongye Langjun's words are the same, always the same, reading and reading, I'm tired of reading. ”

Xiao Yuan smiled dumbly: "I didn't expect that a book of words would also nurture your taste." Don't underestimate Gongyezhi, he relied on his writing books to buy good land and mansions. When I went to his house during the Chinese New Year, I heard him say that he was going to move out. I think that if it goes on like this, Gongyezhi won't have to go to Guangluxun to be a clerk, just write a notebook at home. ”

As he was talking, the jade on the other side of the main hall came over to pass the word, saying that Empress Dowager Xu had asked Xiao Yuan to come over.

It turned out that Empress Dowager Xu was going out of the palace to live in the temple for a month, and asked Xiao Yuan if she wanted to follow.

Empress Dowager Xu said this, Xiao Yuan hadn't thought about it yet, and Empress Dowager Xu smiled and said, "I'll go for a month, don't go." It's not spring yet, and the temple is deserted, I'm afraid that if you go, the wind will blow and you will catch a cold again. ”

Empress Dowager Xu was hard-hearted, and she couldn't let Xiao Yuan be coquettish in any way.

"Grandmother went alone, and I was worried."

Empress Dowager Xu smiled happily: "I'm not a child, besides, there are so many people waiting, what are you worried about?" ”

Xiao Yuan threw himself into the arms of the Empress Dowager Xu, grabbed the placket of the Empress Dowager Xu, rubbed it slowly, lowered his head and refused to speak.

"Okay, okay, what are you doing with this pathetic look? You can stay in the palace for a while. ”

Empress Dowager Xu patted her little granddaughter on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'll take your ninth sister there, and Ah Chan will also go with you." ”

Xiao Yuan was so unhappy: "Why did grandmother take them but not me?" ”

She didn't like the ninth princess Xiao Yuanwen and Xiao Yuanchan, and the Empress Dowager Xu also knew that she went to live in the temple for a month this time, but she brought the two of them with her.

Xiao Yuan has monopolized Empress Dowager Xu's pet hobby for several years, and when he heard that he was pampered by others, he was naturally not happy.

"What's wrong? My little Jiaojiao is not happy? ”

Empress Dowager Xu rubbed Xiao Yuan's good hair and sighed: "I know you don't like the two of them, and you are not the only one in the palace who doesn't like the two of them." The reason why I moved your ninth sister to Yuhua Pavilion to learn the rules this time is also because the older she gets, the more disagreeable she becomes, if she continues to connive, I am afraid that she will have a crooked temperament and will make a big mistake in the future. ”

"And your sister Chan, this year, she is still so willful, how can she marry in the future. I simply took them both to the temple this time, so that they could listen to the Dharma, meditate, and collect their temperament. ”

That's what happened.

But Xiao Yuanhao was still unhappy: "That grandmother is in the temple, and she has to think about me all the time." ”

Empress Dowager Xu nodded Xiao Yuan's good little nose: "How old are you to still eat this kind of vinegar?" Okay, good, grandmother promised you, you are in your grandmother's heart, is that what is Nan? ”

Mama Jiang said, "Nan Bo Erwan." ”

"Oh yes, yes, that's this Nan Bo Erwan."

Everyone laughed.

Xiao Yuan left the arms of the Empress Dowager Xu with a twist, and stayed in the main hall that night, pestering the Empress Dowager Xu to talk all night.

When she got up early in the morning of the second day, Empress Dowager Xu was in good spirits, but Xiao Yuan was a little feverish.

"Look, why does this kid not let me worry about it like this?"

Empress Dowager Xu was very worried, so she didn't want to go to the temple a little.

But the matter was settled early in the morning, and he had to leave tomorrow, so it would be a little inappropriate to say that he would stay at this time.

Xiao Yuan didn't want to delay the affairs of the Empress Dowager Xu because of himself, so he struggled to take the medicine, but persuaded the Empress Dowager Xu to take the Ninth Princess and Xiao Yuanchan to the temple to retreat.

"Grandmother don't worry about me, I have good food and drink in the palace, what can I do? It's nothing more than a little hot, anyway, I have a minor illness every once in a while, and this is the first time this year. Grandmother, I'm used to it. ”

The sentence "I'm used to it" made Empress Dowager Xu's nose sour: "Good boy, you are well raised in the palace, and grandmother will go to ask you for a peace charm, so that the Buddha can bless you with good health." ”

On the third day of Empress Dowager Xu's departure, Xiao Yuan's illness was cured.

I haven't gone to school in the past few days, Xiao Yuan is about to suffocate to death in the West Side Palace, and as soon as he recovers, counting the days, tomorrow will be the birthday of the eighth princess.

Sure enough, on this day, Xiao Yingzhou got out of school, and the eighth princess went straight to the west side hall.

"Little Ten! I'll be born tomorrow! ”

Xiao Yuanhao was lying on the carpet, reading the book with his feet crossed, and when he saw the eighth princess breaking in, he casually threw her a book: "Eighth sister read this "Pearl and Jade Collection" first, I wrote it. This is my manuscript. ”

The eighth princess was not interested in the dialogue book, took a look, and threw it aside: "You know I don't like to read, when will your book be arranged into a play, I'll listen to the play again." I'm here to discuss with you about my birthday tomorrow, do you have any good ideas? ”

"Is Eighth Sister here to invite me to dinner?"

The eighth princess said "um": "I want to invite you." This year is my little birthday again, and it's rare that my grandmother is not here, so you can relax. How about we just have a day of fun tomorrow? ”

Xiao Yuanhao has always had a lot of experience in eating, drinking, and having fun, so he closed the book when he heard the words: "Who are the eight sisters going to invite?" ”

"Just Cousin Junru, Ruyi, Sister Yu, Zheng Wuxiu, um, and Chu Qi, plus a few brothers and our sisters, how about it?"

"There's a little less people, isn't it? Eighth sister, haven't you always liked to be the most lively? ”

The eighth princess lay down on the carpet boredly, and sighed deeply: "The excitement is all for people to see. On my birthday, love can be lived as I want. I don't want to sit with a group of people I don't know and listen to them compliment me with false words. ”

The eighth princess thought clearly.

Xiao Yuan pursed his lips and smiled: "I have an idea." It's cold tomorrow, let's eat together, hot wine, and eat a hot pot. ”

The eighth princess blinked suspiciously: "What is a hot pot?" ”

"Eighth sister, don't worry about it, tomorrow you just have to be the birthday star, everything is with me."
