"The bride is a little thinner."

Liu Yan glanced at Cousin Wu silently, wearing such a big wedding dress with three layers inside and three layers outside, how could she see that the bride was thin? It's a good eyesight.

Cousin Wu's original name was Wu Xiaohui, and after listening to the legend of the four beauties for a while, she had to change her name to Wu Zhaojun, and was reprimanded by her grandmother, so she could only obediently call her original name. In fact, the word Hui is also good, the country girls are called flowers, gold, silver, the majority, this word is said to be asked by grandmother and monk, so carefully chosen name, how can she be allowed to change blindly?

"But it's better than that one."

When she said this, she snorted her lips and motioned for Liu Yan to look at the Zhu family standing in front of the newcomer.

This is the truth.

Zhu gave birth to a son and a daughter, and lived a rich and prosperous life of big fish, big meat, mountains and delicacies, and the waist that was not slender was blowing outward, and now standing in front of the bride The contrast is really stark, and she can top her for a half and a half.

The second princess's face was painted white, her lips were painted a little round vermilion, and she sat motionless on the wedding bed and let others joke, only hanging her head and saying nothing. The brides are all dressed up like this, and they look like a row of large clay dolls, and it is impossible to tell who is who.

Wu Xiaohui whispered: "I don't know how many catties of powder I wiped, her family was born black, especially Master Ma, whose face is as black as the bottom of a pot." ”

Liu Yan made her laugh out loud, and quickly held back.

She pulled Wu Xiaohui: "Let's go out, it's weirdly hot and crowded here." ”

There was a lot of commotion in the new house, although today it was the prince who married his relatives, and he married the concubine, but the people who could come to the banquet today were all relatives and magnates, and those women didn't know how to avoid it when they joked, and there were children who were drilling around in the crowd, making a mess.

"It's hot, let's go out and find a secluded place to have a cup of tea and rest."

Gui Yuan and the two maids of the Wu family escorted the two out of the new house.

Liu Yan actually doesn't like to do red and white things, there is chaos everywhere, a lot of unknown people come in and out, talking loudly, as if they have known each other for a lifetime. The sound of firecrackers shook people's heads, and the locks were heartbreaking, and they couldn't hear the joy and excitement.

Every time I go back to this kind of place, I feel very tired when I go back, and I don't know why.

Liu Yan suddenly stopped and turned his head to look back.

"What's wrong?"

"It's fine."

I just feel like ...... Someone was watching her.

Wu Xiaohui pulled her: "Let's go." ”

The second prince's mansion was also rebuilt from the old mansion of the previous dynasty, which was originally a royal mansion, and it was just renovated not long ago, and the smell of new paint has not yet dissipated.

Wu Xiaohui was outside the palace, and the news was much better than Liu Yan in the palace, pointing to the direction of the back garden and saying: "There were many pine and cypress trees in this palace, and I heard that the oldest one is hundreds of years old. But the second prince didn't like it, and a few days ago, they were cut down and transplanted a lot of precious flowers and trees. But those don't grow up in a year or two, and now this back garden looks bare. ”

"What are you doing?"

"I heard that it was because it blocked the light, and it was not bright enough."

Liu Xiaohui looked back and forth and asked the maid, "Have you seen the third princess?" ”

The maid shook her head and replied, "I saw it when I visited the church, but I didn't see it since." ”

"Strange, where did she go." Saying that, she smiled again: "Forget it, she won't lose it anyway." ”

As soon as she said that, she realized that she had lost her words. A few days ago, there was a lot of rumors in the capital, saying that the county lord was lost and the princess was lost, which was an ugly thing for the royal family. It was an unintentional sentence, but now it seems to mean something.

"She may have seen her family and gone over to talk." Liu Yan knew that she didn't mean to, Liu Xiaohui wouldn't beat around the bush when she spoke, and sometimes she didn't know if she inadvertently offended people.

Liu Fang has the title of princess and lives in the palace, but she is different from the eldest sister, the eldest sister is the only one left in the family, Liu Fang has a father, her father is the emperor's brother, the title is King Qin, and she also has a brother. It's just that the father married a second wife, and he was dispensable to the daughter in front of him. As for the brothers, they are not born to a mother, so they can't get close.

If you are not close, you can't die old and die. On such an occasion today, the Liu family and clan all came over, and the Qin Wang couple naturally came over with their children, and Liu Fang couldn't pretend that he didn't see it.

"Speaking of Sister Fang, we mentioned her when we talked together a while ago. Some people envy her for being raised by the queen's mother, and now she still has the title of princess, and some people say ......"

Liu Yan asked curiously, "What do you say?" ”

Wu Xiaohui grabbed a peony flower in the flower pond next to the road: "Some people say that if her mother is still alive, she may not be rare to be this princess." ”

Liu Yan didn't expect her to say such a sentence, so she was stunned before nodding.

"That's right."

If the third sister was really chosen, which one would she choose? Will you choose your mother to live a long life, or will you choose the current princess?

Do you still need to guess?

The third sister definitely wants her mother.

Wu Xiaohui also thinks the same, she doesn't envy Liu Fang at all. My mother is long gone, I live in the palace alone, and I can't go back if I have a home, even if it's a princess?

"I've heard something." Wu Xiaohui leaned close to Liu Yan's ear and asked in a low voice, "Is Sister Fang interested in someone?" ”

"Huh? Who? Liu Yan's surprise was not that Liu Fang was interested in someone, but that he wondered how Wu Xiaohui knew.

Wu Xiaohui showed a look of "you are not interesting enough": "I am not blind, and I am neither deaf nor dumb." Last time, Sister Fuyu and Princess had a treat, and the two of you ran out alone for a long time, and then I saw her, as well as Sister Meixiang, all talking to that Li and Li. ”

"Li Kun?"

Wu Xiaohui glared at her: "You really know!" Hide it from me. ”

Uh, that's a slip of the tongue.

Wu Xiaohui suddenly became nervous, pulled her sleeve and walked to the pillar before asking, "You won't ...... this person too?"

"No, what nonsense are you talking about, how old is he and how old am I."

"It's not unusual for Kyori to be obsessed with him from eighty to eight years old." Having said that, Wu Xiaohui saw that Liu Yan didn't mean that.

"What did they say together?"

Wu Xiaohui half-covered her face with a fan: "I'm far away, I saw that Sister Fang seemed to only say one or two sentences, but Sister Meixiang was bright enough to stuff her handkerchief to Li Kun, so scared that Li Kun simply ran away." ”

Escape......

Liu Yan suddenly remembered that Li Kun came out of the rockery cave that day and looked embarrassed, couldn't it be Sister Meixiang chasing behind?

She wanted to laugh for a while, but she felt a little ashamed for the other.

Li Kun was born well, so his sisters don't need to see him like a hungry tiger and a sheep, right?

But when I think of what Li Zheng said that day, it is neither funny, nor do I blame them for being ashamed.

Whether it is Sister Fang or Sister Meixiang, they are all in vain, Li Zheng said it clearly, Li Kun will not get married in the past few years, and the Li family is not willing to be a princess.

What's so great about being born well? No matter how good-looking it is, it is a nose and two eyes, or it will become ugly and old in a few years, and it will become fat and big.

They did not go into the chamber to rest, but sat on the railing of the cloister, which was more comfortable than in the house, where the wind on the porch was cooler. Gui Yuan brought a pot of hot water and made a pot of tea at the foot of the porch.

"This chrysanthemum tea is sweet and sour." Wu Xiaohui said honestly and politely: "Go back and divide me in half." ”

"You're on fire too?"

"You can't drink it if you don't get it on fire?" She put down the teacup: "Why are you on fire?" ”

Liu Yan frowned and said, "There are two bubbles in my mouth. ”

"Let me see."

She held Liu Yan's face towards the light: "Open your mouth." ”

One of the bubbles was at the base of the tongue and the other on the roof of the mouth, she tilted her head left and right to see clearly, Liu Yan hurriedly looked back: "My saliva is going to drip on my body." ”

"Your anger is big enough, it's useless to drink chrysanthemum tea, you better use some Coptis detoxification."

As soon as he said this, Liu Yan's face suddenly wrinkled, not to mention the medicine, just listening to the name of this medicine, he felt that his tongue was full of bitterness.

It's too bitter, she is most afraid of bitterness, even if this medicine is immediate, she won't use it.

"And can you still eat what is on the table today? It's all big fish and big meat. Wu Xiaohui thought for a while and instructed the maid to say, "You go to the kitchen, call two clean and clever ones, fry two side dishes for us, and send two bowls of porridge, don't make too meaty." He turned his head and said to Liu Yan: "Let's not go to the front to eat, let's eat here alone, just send someone to say a word to the front." ”

It doesn't matter what you eat, Liu Yan just doesn't like the mess on the front table, there are too many people. Even if I went, I couldn't eat.

"Okay."

Today, the Second Prince's Mansion is full of troubles, and I think I know that the kitchen must be very busy. But this is also a score person, if you change to a person with no name and no surname to ask for a single point, do you think the kitchen will ignore it? Wu Xiaohui's father is Marquis Peng, and she, the young lady of the Hou Mansion, is not conspicuous among today's guests, but is the fourth princess an ordinary person? The people in the kitchen are all transferred from the inner chamberlain's house, and they know best which master in the palace needs to be stammered. To put it mildly, all the guests who came today dare to offend, and this little ancestor can't be offended.

Wu Xiaohui ordered two dishes, and four people came to the kitchen, carried two large food boxes, and set up a table for her two sheets.

"These two dishes are honored by our Master Cen, and these two are made by Master Shi himself...... "There is a table full of dishes, and the porridge also includes lotus seed soup, mung bean soup, millet porridge and ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup. The preparation was so thorough, and the people who came to deliver the dishes repeatedly apologized, saying that they were done in a hurry, and the mung bean soup and millet porridge were afraid that they would not be boiled, so please don't blame the princess.

"Oh, this is really ......" Wu Xiaohui also knew that this little cousin had always been favored, but how to be favored was usually not understood.

Now she has realized it, from the four cold, six hot, two dim sum and four soups on the table.

"We can't finish this big table." Liu Yan said: "Leave what we like to eat, and give the rest to Guiyuan, so that they can eat here." ”

"Done." Wu Xiaohui moved a jade shrimp ball to herself: "This one is enough for me to eat." ”
