Chapter 432: Chestnuts
"Little brother sent me candy?"
How did you think of sending this to her sooner rather than later?
Mao De remembered the instructions of the fourth prince, and he carefully looked at the princess's face, and there was nothing wrong with it. Dinner has been set, no more and no less than usual.
Liu Yan lifted the lid of the box and took a look at the candy inside, rose candy, pine nut candy, bamboo candy, cloud halva, which looked crystal clear in the candlelight, not to mention the sweet taste.
"Thank you for me, little brother, I told him last time that I wanted to embroider a purse for him, and it will be fine in the next two days, so don't worry."
Mao De responded with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, the princess just embroiders slowly, there are not many people next to our Royal Highness, but there is a lot of patience." ”
After sending Mao De away, Liu Yan was still a little puzzled.
She didn't use more dinner than usual, and Li Shanggong persuaded her to drink two more mouthfuls of soup, but she didn't persuade the princess to eat it if she really didn't want to eat it.
It's just over the festival, and even the slaves and maids have a lot of oil and water in their stomachs, and the masters everywhere in the palace are ordering vegetarian dishes these days. The weather is not yet warm at this time, and it is much more difficult to eat small vegetables and radishes than meat.
Liu Yan really has no appetite, but she has no appetite, and her heart accounts for most of the reason.
Originally, she was confused by Lu Yi's matter, but it turned out that Lu Yi's sister-in-law wanted to marry him.
Coincidentally, Gui Yuan also talked about the news he heard in Yilan Hall today.
"I heard that Counselor Lu's sister-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp, General Lu and their father and son have been guarding for many years, and she is in control of the general's mansion in the capital, and she is a very shrewd and capable person. She probably didn't want Lu Shen to marry a daughter-in-law from a high-born family to share her power, so she simply made a strong move first and found him a good wife. ”
Liu Yan vaguely remembered that Lu Yi had a nephew: "Does the Wang family have children?" ”
"Yes, she has a son and a daughter, and her son is seven or eight years old this year, right? However, I heard that he was weak, but I was afraid that even if he grew up peacefully, he would not be able to practice martial arts and lead soldiers like his father and grandfather. ”
Liu Yan remembered what happened in the countryside before.
There are not a few cases of brothers fighting against each other for property, and some people divide their sons early in order to avoid this, but even so, there are more points and less points, you take advantage of me more, and now I am satisfied, and when I see that my brother is better off than myself, I regret it, there are too many such things, and my brothers are like this, not to mention the concubines who are not related by blood, and there are very few who can get along well.
Human nature is like this, the common people fight for a room, two acres of land, and when they reach the palace of the official eunuch and the prince, this kind of competition still exists, and it is even more cruel than the competition of ordinary people. Although Lu Yi left the Lu family, the Lu family had different thoughts about him. I just don't know what Wang did, was it her own plan, or was her husband secretly instructing? Completely squeeze out this brother, won't the entire Lu family belong to the Wang family and his wife in the future?
Thinking about it this way, Lu Yi ...... Actually, it's not easy for him.
From the very beginning of knowing him, he seemed to be a carefree, uninhibited person. But who in this world can really be carefree?
In fact, many people who have nothing to worry about are very helpless.
Liu Yan also believes that Wang's little calculation can't help Lu Yi.
However, even if Lu Yi dodges this time, what about the future? If his brother and sister-in-law must exclude him and deal with him, then will he have to be entangled like this all the time in the second half of his life, and he will always have to deal with calculations from his relatives?
Of course, with Lu Yi's personality and ability, there is no need for Liu Yan to worry about him.
But...... Won't he feel bad in his heart?
Liu Yan sat there silently.
After a while, she suddenly realized, why did she go out of her mind so many times this day?
One two three...... Well, she doesn't remember exactly how many times, but she remembers at least three times.
What's worse is that these three times are because of the same person.
That's really ......
The bean soup came in from outside, and brought a sticker and a basket.
"Princess, this is sent by the third princess."
Liu Yan was a little surprised: "Third sister? ”
What's going on today, why is everyone rushing to deliver things at night?
The little brother is just that, he lives in the palace, but the third sister is outside the palace, what is there to think about sending here.
"Show me the post."
Doutang hurriedly handed over the post.
Liu Yan opened it and only looked at the first two words, and suddenly closed the post again.
What the third sister, this is someone else borrowed the name of the third sister.
Liu Yan said, although their sisters have affection, but the affection has not reached this point, after the third sister got married, of course, she divided most of her mind in her own home, and this kind of fact that she sent someone to send something to her sister when it was dark is too rare.
The post was written by Lu Yi, only saying that he would send her something to taste.
also said that let her not take the words of the Wang family of Yilan Hall to heart today, Lu Yi did not have that mind about any other woman.
Wow, does he have any thoughts about other women, what does it matter to her......
Liu Yan asked the cover on the basket to be removed, and there was straw paper on it, and the chestnuts fried with sugar were on it.
The sweet smell permeated all of a sudden.
Liu Yan pinched a chestnut, and the chestnut was still a little hot!
Gui Yuan hurriedly said: "Princess, let go of this and let the slave and maid peel it." ”
The chestnuts are still hot, which means that the chestnuts must have just been bought, and then rushed to the palace to let people come, but I am afraid that it will be a cup of tea, right?
Gui Yuan peeled a chestnut and handed it over, and whispered to persuade: "The princess has already had dinner, just taste one or two of this, I'm afraid that I won't be able to restrain it, and my stomach will be uncomfortable." ”
Liu Yan suddenly stood up: "Take the cloak, I want to go out for a walk." ”
"Now?" Gui Yuan was a little surprised, but immediately said, "The slave maid will go." ”
Liu Yan went out and was blown by the cold wind, and then he came to his senses a little.
She was actually in a rush just now—but when she came out, she felt like she was ...... Well, the head is not very clear.
What did she come out for?
The two feet seemed to have their own consciousness, and after coming out, they walked towards Jingfeng Gate without stopping.
It is the closest from Jingfeng Gate to Dongyuan, and any other palace gate is far away. If you want to deliver the chestnuts to her as quickly as possible, you should buy them not far from Jingfeng Gate and send them in immediately.
Liu Yan walked in front, and they followed closely behind.
They don't know what's wrong with the princess, but their duty is to follow and serve well, and they can persuade them to do what the princess wants to do, but they can't influence it.
Liu Yan stopped.
When it was time to get the key down to the palace gate, the guards of the forbidden army on both sides were handing over the gate charms and closing the city gate.
It was so dark tomorrow, but Liu Yan still saw the person standing next to the tethered horse stone not far from the palace gate.
Lu Yi also saw her.
He hurried towards the palace gate, where a forbidden soldier stopped him and whispered a few words.
What I want to say is that the palace gate is going to be closed, and he can't move forward anymore.
Lu Yi stood outside the palace gate, and Liu Yan stood inside the palace wall.
The two heavy palace doors slowly closed, and finally closed completely, closed the door bar, and locked it.
