Chapter 297: Two Women

Lin Xiaozhu turned his head to see that it was a young man, his appearance was extremely handsome, and the whole person was different from Yuan Tianye, Xiao Wenzhuo's heroic and calm, and Shen Ziyi's politeness, and there was a shrewdness in his elegance; He wears a jade crown and a stone blue carved silk squirrel cape. It seems that this should be the owner of Ying Wangfu, Xiao Xiao's husband, and Lu Jianning, one of the four sons of Xuanyuan who is as famous as Yuan Tianye, Shen Ziyi, and Xiao Wenzhuo.

"Jianning." When Xiao Xiao saw Lu Jianning, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her pale face was filled with a layer of brilliant brilliance.

Lu Jianning walked over and lowered his face slightly: "Why did you run out alone and not say a word to me?" Do you know how worried I am? After speaking, he stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Xiao's hand warm, seeing that her fingers were cold, her face was even more unhappy, and she turned her face to scold Qingdai, "What are you doing to eat?" I don't know how to add a thick dress to the princess and get a hand stove when I go out! ”

Hearing Lu Jianning's words that seemed to be reproachful, but were actually concerned, Xiao Xiao's heart swelled with sweetness, and she said softly: "Jianning, don't blame them, I want to go out myself." And I've dressed enough to stay in the car all the time, it's not cold. ”

"I also said that it is not cold, look at this hand is cold. Don't run around in the future. You're going out, tell me, and I'll take the time to go with you. Lu Jianning's face was still stiff, but his tone was much softer, he stretched out his big palm and put Xiao Xiao's hand in to cover it, kept rubbing it, and said, "Let's go, hurry back to the house." After speaking, he pulled Xiao Xiao and walked inside.

"Aren't you going out?" Xiao Xiao had obviously forgotten Lin Xiaozhu, and also forgot the sadness that the man in front of him had brought to him. His face flushed, his eyes looked at Lu Jianning with affection, and he asked while following him.

"I'm going to look for you. You're back, so I don't have to go out. Lu Jianning pulled Xiao Xiao to the front of the sedan chair, tightened the cloak on her body, and wanted to help her into the sedan chair.

"Ahh Xiao Xiao finally remembered that Lin Xiaozhu was here at this time, turned around, and beckoned to Lin Xiaozhu, who was still standing in the foyer. "Little ...... Xiaoxi. Come on, I'll introduce you to it. ”

Finally remembered myself. Lin Xiaozhu shrugged his shoulders and walked over quickly.

"Jianning, this is a good friend of mine, Chen Xi, who happened to meet today. He invited him to his home. Although Xiao Xiao is simple, she is not completely ignorant of the world. When introducing Lin Xiaozhu, Tianlu Jianning did not invite her to come to the house to make snacks in advance.

"Chen Xi has seen Lord Ying." Lin Xiaozhu gave a light salute.

Lu Jianning replied very politely and asked, "Is Miss Chen from Dongyue or Xiling?" How do you have an old relationship with Xiao'er? ”

"Chen Xi is a native of Dongyue. Because I like to play around, I have traveled with Prince Xiling and Princess Herui in the territory of the South China Sea, so I know each other. Lin Xiaozhu replied decently.

I learned that it was my brother-in-law who had audited it. Lu Jianning put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Xiao'er is quite lonely here, so I will trouble you to accompany her more when I have time." ”

"Yes." Lin Xiaozhu responded.

Lu Jianning turned his head and said to Xiao Xiao: "Okay, let's get on the sedan chair." I made bird's nest stew. I'll watch you finish it in a moment. ”

Xiao Xiao enjoyed this care very much, and with a sweet "um" on her face, she was about to enter the sedan chair. But hearing someone call "Lord Wang" from afar, Xiao Xiao's face suddenly changed, and she bit her lip and looked at Lu Jianning.

Lu Jianning patted her hand comfortingly. Turning his head to look in the direction the voice came from. But I saw a sedan chair lifted in front of me from the corridor, and the sedan curtain was half open. A charming face smiled at him. Before the sedan chair could stop, the person inside spoke again: "Lord Wang, fortunately I met you here, otherwise the concubine would have to send people to look for you everywhere." My grandfather sent someone to say that the deal had been negotiated, and that he wanted you to take a look at it. You see, why not go now? As he spoke, he got out of the sedan chair and saluted Xiao Xiao respectfully: "Sister An." His eyes looked at Lu Jianning again.

"Really? That's great. Lu Jianning heard the news, his face was full of joy, "Of course I will go now." He turned to Xiao Xiao and said, "Go back and eat well, don't mess around anymore." I'll be back with you in the evening. Come on, get on the sedan chair. Stretched out his hand and helped Xiao Xiao onto the sedan chair.

"Lord Wang, you can hurry up, it's all waiting there." The woman spoke, urging, "I'll get in the car first, you hurry up." ”

"Okay, come on." When Lu Jianning heard this, he didn't care about comforting Xiao Xiao, who was about to cry, straightened up, turned around and walked towards the door, catching up with the woman who was waiting for him at the door. Then the two men got into the carriage together, and the carriage immediately drove forward.

Lin Xiaozhu turned his head and saw Xiao Xiao, who had already entered the sedan chair, standing in front of the sedan chair at this time, looking at the distant carriage, biting his lip with his teeth, and tears falling down one by one. Then he suddenly turned around and sat back in the sedan chair, and shouted angrily: "Go back." After speaking, he put down the sedan curtain vigorously.

"Yes, Princess, sit tight." The mother-in-law who carried the sedan chair hurriedly answered, lifted the sedan chair one after the other, and walked forward. Xiao Xiao's whimper was faintly heard in the sedan chair.

Qing Dai instructed another maid to follow the sedan chair, turned her head, and said to Lin Xiaozhu, "Miss Chen, please get on the sedan chair." ”

"Okay." Lin Xiaozhu sighed secretly and got on another sedan chair.

King Ying's mansion was huge, and the sedan chair walked two cups of tea before stopping. Lin Xiaozhu came out of the sedan chair and saw that Xiao Xiao had already gotten off the sedan chair and was helped into the house by the girl.

"Miss Chen, don't care. Our princess is like this, and when her temper comes up, she doesn't care about anyone. Qingdai apologized to Lin Xiaozhu and helped her out of the sedan chair with her own hands.

"Heh, it's fine." has also been with Xiao Xiao for a while, and Lin Xiaozhu knows her temper. Knowing that she was in a bad mood, naturally he wouldn't blame her for being rude.

"Please come in." Qingdai helped Lin Xiaozhu, turned her head to greet Yun Shan, who had been following the sedan chair, and the three of them entered the main house where Xiao Xiao lived together.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Xiao Xiao shout angrily: "I don't eat." With a "bang", a bowl was swept to the ground by her, and the bird's nest in the bowl was scattered all over the ground.

Qing Dai sighed lightly, motioned to the little girls to clean up the ground, and stepped forward to persuade: "Princess, you don't eat anything like this, and you spoil your body, don't you let those sluts succeed?" The prince will also feel distressed. ”

"Isn't he distressed? Don't you see? As soon as the slut said it, he walked away happily, how could he have me in his eyes? Xiao Xiao cried. When he turned around and saw Lin Xiaozhu, as if he had seen a relative, he called "Xiaozhu", walked over and buried himself in Lin Xiaozhu's arms, and cried.

Lin Xiaozhu didn't speak, only gently stroked Xiao Xiao's back and let her cry.

Xiao Xiao cried for a while, wetting Lin Xiaozhu's shoulders, and then leaned on her arms and sobbed weakly. Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly helped her to lie on the couch with Qingdai, covered her with a quilt, and comforted her: "Okay, it's okay." You get some sleep first, and when you wake up, we'll have a good talk. ”

Xiao Xiao was afraid that Lin Xiaozhu would leave, so she grabbed her hand tightly, shook her head and said, "I can't sleep." ”

Qing Dai sighed lightly and explained to Lin Xiaozhu: "The princess has been like this for the past two months, she doesn't eat or sleep when she is angry. ”

"Then do you princes ignore it?" Lin Xiaozhu asked. Today, seeing how the two get along, she felt a lot in her heart. Only by understanding more information can Xiao Xiao be persuaded.

"Reason is reason." Qing Dai looked at Xiao Xiao, who had half-closed eyes, and said softly, "It's just that the prince has a lot of things to do and is busy." came over to coax him, and he was called away again. The princess's body is getting worse and worse. The worse your body is, the less appetite you have, and you can't eat anything. ”

Thinking back to the situation just now, Lin Xiaozhu wanted to ask if it was the woman who called the prince away. But after looking at Xiao Xiao, he still didn't speak. Her emotions calmed down, and if it was too exciting, it was better not to say it.

She didn't ask, but Xiao Xiao spoke, with infinite hatred in her voice: "The one who sent someone to call him was the woman just now." The woman was nothing more than the daughter of an imperial merchant. Because Dongyue has suffered natural disasters in recent years, flooding every summer, a large area of land in the north has no harvest, and the treasury is empty. This year, the emperor sent Jianning to take charge of the household department, and asked him to accept the daughter of the imperial merchant as a side concubine, so that her family could pay for it. She relied on a few stinky money at home, and she was in business, and she used her business to hook Jianning all day long. Jian Ning tried her best to earn money for the country and fill the treasury, so she was naturally led by the nose. Look at it just now, as soon as she said that the goods had arrived, she immediately followed her out. ”

Lin Xiaozhu raised his eyebrows: "Don't you understand?" Since you know that King Ying went with her to make money, what are you angry about? ”

Xiao Xiao's tears came out again, and her voice was choked: "You don't know, now Jianning cares more and more about that woman......"

Lin Xiaozhu didn't persuade her, but just asked, "Didn't he accept two side princesses?" Who else is there? ”

Xiao Xiao was about to speak, when she heard a girl come in and report: "Princess, Concubine Zhou is here." said that she heard that the princess had brought a guest, and wanted to ask which courtyard was more suitable to place in, so she could take someone to clean up the yard. ”

Xiao Xiao bit her lip and said coldly, "Call her in." ”

The girl went out in response, and after a while, she received a woman wearing a pink Baizi carved silk silver mouse jacket and a moonlight calendered cotton dress. Although this woman's facial features are not as delicate as Xiao Xiao and Concubine Gong just now, her eyes are extremely smart, and her eyes flow between her eyes, which makes people attracted to her at a glance. As soon as she entered the door, she respectfully saluted Xiao Xiao, and then without waiting for Xiao Xiao to speak, she stood up and looked at Lin Xiaozhu with a smile: "I heard that the princess has a guest here, this girl is right?" ”
