Rong'an Hou Mansion.

"Grandmother, An'er has come to see you." Xie Changan has been visiting Mrs. Xie for a few days.

Old Mrs. Xie snorted lightly, deliberately turned her face away from Xie Changan, and her tone was sour, "I'm afraid that the sun won't come out in the west today, how can An'er have time to come to see my old bones?" ”

Xie Changan smiled secretly, the older he gets, the more he looks like a child. Xie Changan walked to Mrs. Xie's side and sat down next to her, and coaxed her in a good voice: "Grandmother, what you said, An'er didn't come to see you, it's just that it's cold day by day, An'er can't stand it anymore and doesn't dare to go outside the house." ”

Mrs. Xie was stubborn, unforgiving, and still didn't open her eyes to look at Xie Chang'an, and teased: "Then An'er, you're not afraid of the cold today?" ”

Xie Changan smiled lightly, "I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid, but if I don't come again, my grandmother is afraid that she will chase her to An'er's house with a cane." Grandmother, look, my hands are frozen......" Xie Changan's words were unconsciously a little aggrieved, and his ten fingers shook in front of Mrs. Xie's eyes.

Mrs. Xie glanced at Xie Chang'an a few times, as if she reluctantly held Xie Chang'an's hand, it was really cold to the bone, Mrs. Xie's face sank, her eyes seemed to fall on Qingshuang, and she said without anger: "How do you serve Miss, why don't you add clothes to Miss when it's cold?" ”

Hearing this, Qingshuang was frightened, and when she was about to open her mouth to plead guilty, Xie Changan smiled and said, "Grandmother, can you still wear clothes on An'er?" Needless to say, An'er wears a few more clothes than her grandmother. ”

Old Mrs. Xie glanced at the bloated Xie Chang'an, her expression softened slightly, and she couldn't help but say with disgust: "An'er, it's good that your grandmother has let you practice since you were a child, why are you so cold?" "Mrs. Xie has a lot of hatred for iron not being made of steel.

Xie Chang'an also secretly wondered in her heart, her body has always been good, but she is afraid of cold, "Grandmother, An'er is also angry, just begging for the days to warm up quickly." ”

After gossiping for a while, Mrs. Xie inadvertently became serious, looked at Xie Changan for a while, and said: "An'er, your father told me yesterday that the Queen Mother's decree to marry you and Prince Zhong's little son will come down soon." Old Lady Xie's shrewd eyes stared at Xie Changan for a moment.

Xie Chang'an's expression was as usual, his tone was gentle, and he said concisely: "An'er knows." ”

Old Lady Xie's expression was gloomy, and she continued: "Your father also said that the Empress Dowager intends to let you marry your sister on the same day, so the day set by your sister before will be invalidated, and the Qin Heavenly Supervisor will re-select the auspicious day of the zodiac. Old Lady Xie looked at Xie Changan meaningfully, and the light in her cloudy eyes flickered.

Xie Changan was silent, lowered his head and thought to himself, and said quietly: "Grandmother, I don't know if the idea of letting me marry my sister on the same day is the intention of the Queen Mother, or the meaning of you and my father?" Although it was a question, Xie Changan's eyes were determined.

"An'er, you've grown up." Mrs. Xie seemed to be comforted, and flicked the string of Buddhist beads in her hand, her eyes were deep, "No matter whose decision it is, it doesn't hinder it, you just need to know that your grandmother will let you marry the person you should marry." The tone is full of strength that cannot be refused.

Xie Changan sighed in his heart, and said for a while: "Grandmother, An'er is very satisfied with today's marriage, and I ask grandmother not to worry about it." ”

Old Mrs. Xie suddenly became angry in her heart, reached out and picked up her crutches and smashed them to the ground, and said in a fierce voice: "An'er, grandmother has cultivated you since you were a child, and she endured the pain and made you suffer so much, not to let you marry a fool!" You don't have to say any more, it's settled! ”

Old Mrs. Xie was rarely angry with Xie Changan, and now that she was afraid that she had made up her mind, Xie Changan secretly sighed, and said with no clear meaning: "Grandmother, there is a natural determination in the dark, and what An'er is destined to be, An'er will be." Xie Changan picked up the tea cup on the table and tested the temperature, it was still warm, "Grandmother, you drink a cup of tea, don't be angry." ”

Seeing that Xie Changan no longer shirked, Mrs. Xie's expression eased slightly, but she was still displeased, silently took the teacup, and took a small sip, "An'er, grandmother is tired, you can go back." ”

"Then grandmother, you can rest, An'er will come to see you another day." After the words fell, Xie Changan left with Qingshuang.

Old Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Chang'an's distant gaze with an inexplicable expression.

Prince Chung's Mansion.

The queen mother's intention to promulgate the marriage decree in the next few days also reached the ears of Prince Zhong, and Princess Zhong immediately couldn't sit still, got up and walked to Xiao Yu's house, and couldn't help but say to herself happily, "If Yu'er knows the news, I'm afraid I will be happy to go to the house and uncover the tiles." Not to mention Xiao Yu, even Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong were overjoyed.

As soon as Prince Zhong entered the house, she saw that Xiao Yuan was also there, and the brothers were all happy, especially Xiao Yu, who smiled from ear to ear, as if she was stupid and went back, "Yuan'er, Yu'er, what is the joy of your brothers?" ”

Xiao Yuwu smiled to himself, his eyes were clear and matchless, and his sword eyebrows were flying, and he couldn't hide his joy. Seeing that Xiao Yu had no time to reply, Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "Mother, I heard that the imperial grandmother is about to give Yu'er and Miss Xie Er a marriage, so I specially came to inform Yu'er of this matter, so that Yu'er can be happy." Xiao Yuan dotingly looked at his stupid brother who couldn't find the north, and shook his head helplessly.

"Ah, I didn't expect you to take the lead." Prince Zhong sat down next to Xiao Yu and continued: "Yuan'er, do you know that your imperial grandmother intends to let Sister Xie and Shuangshu marry on the same day? ”

Xiao Yuan shook his head and frowned slightly, "Then the date of the marriage of Miss Xie and Yan Shizi has already been set, why is the imperial grandmother like this?" ”

Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong held back her joy for a while, and guessed: "I'm afraid that it is not your imperial grandmother who did it intentionally, but the loyal relatives who did it intentionally, if they get married on the same day, then what Rong'an Houfu wants to do, it will be easy." ”

Xiao Yu suddenly sneered, there was still joy at the end of his eyes and eyebrows that had not yet faded, his handsome eyebrows were slightly raised, and his thin lips were lightly opened, "It's not just easy, stealing the sky and changing the day!" Not only that, but it is also easy to shirk responsibility. ”

For a while, Prince Zhong, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yuan all had a sinking face, and they were speechless for a while.

"Yu'er, why don't you go and talk to your imperial grandmother, don't let Sister Xie get married on the same day......"

Without waiting for Xiao Yu to reply, Xiao Yuan stopped: "Mother, no, if we rashly persuade the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother is afraid that she will be suspicious, and the situation will become more and more complicated." ”

Prince Zhong was relieved, nodded lightly, and turned her head to look at Xiao Yu, who was still silent.

Xiao Yu's expression was dark, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Mother, big brother, it's okay, let's see what tricks Rong Anhou wants to play, he has his conspiracy, we also have our yang conspiracy, ride a donkey to read the record book, and we'll see." ”

Prince Zhong and Xiao Yuan looked at each other, and in the end, Prince Zhong still nodded and said: "Yu'er, since you have a plan in your heart, if you need your mother to do something, but it doesn't matter." ”

Xiao Yu nodded, his expression changed suddenly, and the darkness was swept away, but he was a little melancholy, "Mother, big brother, Chang'an hasn't thought of me yet." Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel lonely and worried.

"Yu'er, don't worry, Miss Xie Er will definitely think of you." Xiao Yuan patted Xiao Yu's shoulder, quite comforting, "Yu'er, you haven't made some gadgets for Miss Xie Er for a long time, why don't you do some more?" ”

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, he swept away his melancholy, stood up suddenly, and went out in a hurry, shouting impatiently: "Come on, go find me wood, the more the better, go quickly!" Xiao Yu shouted, and the maid guards waiting outside hurriedly took action.

Xiao Yu walked straight to the woodworking workshop. Previously, Xiao Yuan saw that Xiao Yu was carving wood in his house, not to mention ruining the house, the light was really bad, it was really hurtful to the eyes, Xiao Yuan simply built a carpentry workshop for Xiao Yu, and he didn't want Xiao Yu to start carving objects again after his head passed, and it didn't come in handy until today.

Prince Zhong and Xiao Yuan wanted to laugh to death, Xiao Yuan said: "Mother, I'll go to see Yu'er, I don't know what Yu'er carved for Miss Xie Er this time." ”

"Go ahead, tell Yu'er, don't hurt your hand again." Xiao Yuan responded with a smile, got up and went to the woodworking workshop to find Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu picked and chose among the wood sent by the maids and servants, and there were words in his mouth. He also picked up the wood from time to time and gestured, and it took a long time to pick out the wood he liked, "Yu'er wants this, don't do the rest, you all go out, go out." ”

When everyone retreated, there were only Xiao Yu and Xiao Yuan in the house, Xiao Yuan looked at the wood in Xiao Yu's hand, and said curiously: "Yu'er, what are you going to carve this time?" ”

Xiao Yu thought for a while, "Big brother, I still want to carve a rabbit for Chang'an, and I am not alone in pairs!" Well...... I'll carve a "Chang'an rabbit" this time, the last time the wood carved rabbit was really not beautiful, just think it's me, this is Chang'an! After the words fell, Xiao Yu immediately devoted himself to the great cause of carving and no longer bothered with Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan stood aside and watched for a while, feeling that there was no place for him here, and instructed before leaving: "Yu'er, my mother told you to be careful, don't hurt your hand again." ”

Xiao Yu didn't raise his head, "Big brother, you can rest assured that my mother, I'm not a child anymore, why am I so careless." Xiao Yu carved seriously, although it was a cold winter, fine sweat had begun to soak on his forehead, and he didn't care about wiping it, but stared at the knife in his hand and the wood under the knife, and secretly decided that he must carve the "Chang'an Rabbit" perfectly.

Time passed imperceptibly, and the woodcarved rabbit under Xiao Yu's knife began to take on the shape of a rabbit. Xiao Yu stopped the knife, pinched his right hand with his left hand, and moved his fingers and wrists, ready to continue fighting.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Tianqing's voice came, "Little boy, the princess invites you to come over for lunch." ”

"Oh? It's so late? Xiao Yu finished talking to herself, put down the wood that had begun to take on the shape of a rabbit, got up and walked outside the house, Chao Tianqing spread her hands, and said stupidly: "Yu'er's hands are dirty, Yu'er has to wash her hands and eat, Yu'er is hungry......"
