Xi Chu Yueling's face was not very good-looking, but he still nodded lightly and responded in a low voice: "Okay, it is naturally the most convenient for me to check the affairs in the palace." ”

Chu Nian frowned slightly, and didn't answer, at this stall, a clear voice suddenly sounded at the door, "Sister County Lord, have you found the sugar man I want?" ”

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, and saw a small figure standing by the door, it was the five princesses, at this moment the five princesses were leaning against the door, a pair of big eyes were fanning, full of exploration, her eyes scanned the faces of the people in the room, and she did not find the person she wanted to see, and seemed very disappointed.

Chu Nian frowned slightly, since the day before yesterday to pick up Mr. Liang's family, it seems that he has not told the five princesses, this stall, as if he remembered something, he leaned down to face the five princesses, and said softly: "Not yet, the five princesses can wait?" ”

The face of the fifth princess was not very good-looking, but she also took a few steps forward, and said directly to Chu Nian: "The county lord's sister promised Xiao Yu'er to find Xiao Yu'er's biological father. ”

Thinking of Mrs. Peony and Xiao Douding, Chu Nian suddenly felt a trace of unbearability in her heart, she turned her eyes to look at Ming Xiu for help, and saw Ming Xiu frowning slightly: "If the biological parents of the five princesses are so easy to find, the five princesses will not easily ask us, right?" ”

When these words fell, Chu Nian in the room was stunned, and then he saw the fifth princess pouting and sitting down next to Xichu Yueling, who was far away from Ming Xiu, "Brother Crown Prince is the most boring." ”

Unable to understand the interaction between the big and the small, Chu Nian turned his eyes and looked at Ming Xiu suspiciously, and saw that Ming Xiu pursed his thin lips and shook his head lightly, without speaking.

The atmosphere fell into a stagnation for a while, and then I saw the fifth princess shaking her legs and said, "Sister County Lord, what are you discussing?" ”

Xi Chu Yue Ling opened his mouth, but this stall, but Chu Nian frowned slightly, and answered: "It's about the matter between the fourth prince and the palace master of Gao Chen." ”

When these words fell, Xi Chu Yueling looked at Chu Nian with some doubts, as if he was asking Chu Nian, why should such an important thing be told to a little doll who saw that his mind was not yet mature, and he saw the fifth princess raise her eyes, and said innocently: "If it is to investigate the matter between the father and the fourth aunt, it will go back to a long time ago." ”

Xichu Yueling's face was stunned, he turned his eyes, looked at the Fifth Empress strangely and said, "Xiao Yu'er, why do you say that?" ”

The fifth princess smiled innocently, "Because if you want to talk about it, the father and concubine knew the fourth aunt earlier than Xiao Yu'er." ”

As soon as these words fell, the fifth princess jumped down from the chair, turned around, and walked towards the door with a big thorn, "Okay, don't delay you talking about business, Xiao Yu'er is going to make up for sleep, by the way, sister of the county lord, don't forget to help me find my biological parents!" ”

She looked back, a pair of big eyes slightly bent into two crescent moons, and then turned around without hesitation and walked out the door.

Chu Nian stood in place and looked at the back of the five princesses thoughtfully, for a while, she turned her eyes to look at Ming Xiu, and at this moment, Ming Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, and she couldn't see the slightest emotion.

She smiled slightly, looked at Ming Xiu solemnly, and said, "Between His Royal Highness and the Fifth Imperial Daughter, there seems to be something that has not been said?" ”

Several secret guards on the side looked at each other, and even Xichu Yueling also looked puzzled.

Being watched by all the eyes in the room, Ming Xiu's face was not red and his heart was not beating, only to see him calmly pick up the tea cup on the side and bring it to his mouth, pursed his thin lips, and then gently spit out a sentence: "What the five princesses said is right." ”

Chu Nian frowned slightly, and after a while, he had to let out a long sigh, and turned to look at the second monk who was puzzled, and said, "Trouble Her Royal Highness, go and check in this direction." ”

After a long time, Xi Chu Yue Ling nodded hesitantly and said, "Well, okay." ”

……

Pedestrians on the streets are still disturbed, and the autumn rain in late summer is falling on the clouds.

Chu Nian and Ming Xiu stood side by side in the crowd, she looked up at the dark clouds in the distance, frowned slightly, "Shall we go get an umbrella?" ”

Ming Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, and the reflection of Chu Nian in his dark pupils, "Okay." ”

The two of them walked along the street all the way and stopped, today they were entrusted by Mr. Liang in the palace to come out to visit Mrs. Peony's mother and daughter, but since they have come out, with the intention of taking a good look at the customs of Western Chu, Chu Niancai proposed that after reading Mrs. Peony's mother and daughter, they would go shopping on the street, so as to find some delicious and fun, and when they go back, they will bring back to Meixiang and their two hard-working princesses.

When he walked to the center of the downtown area, Chu Nian saw a stall selling umbrellas on the side of the street, and just wanted to go and see the umbrellas, he saw Ming Xiu's eyes fall on a small stall selling jewelry on the side.

Most of today's small stalls are similar, especially this kind of stall for buying jewelry, once you walk by, most of the jewelry has already been seen, but the jewelry on the stall in front of you is a little special.

I saw that most of the wooden hairpins on this stall were lifelike, and they looked very exquisite.

Seeing Ming Xiu's gaze, Chu Nian smiled a little helplessly, "Why has Your Highness been obsessed with these handmade ornaments recently?" ”

Hearing Chu Nian's voice, Ming Xiu Fang turned his eyes slightly, and a pair of narrow eyes indulged, "It's nothing." ”

Chu Nian looked at the arm hiding behind him along him, and saw that there seemed to be something hidden in his sleeve, but he didn't want her to see it, so he couldn't help frowning slightly, and his voice stiffened a little, "Your Highness has been secretive in front of her courtiers recently. ”

Hearing this, Ming Xiu's brows obviously contributed to the three hills, and his subordinates suddenly grabbed Chu Nian's wrist that was about to be withdrawn, "Are you suspicious of me?" ”

Chu Nian's voice was cold, "No." ”

"Huh?" Those narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and there was cold air, as if they were angry.

The two confronted each other quietly for a long time, only to see Chu Nian sigh patiently, "If Your Highness has something to say, it doesn't matter, at the moment, the courtiers don't even know what His Highness is thinking, which makes people very uneasy, and besides, the hometown is far away at the moment, if His Highness doesn't give a little affirmation......"

Chu Nian pretended to cry and looked at Chu Nian pitifully, "The courtiers will also think, if His Royal Highness leaves the courtiers in Xichu, what should the courtiers do......"

Ming Xiu's half-lowered eyes flashed slightly as he watched Chu Nian act, the cold air around his body gradually faded a little, and his eyes were unconsciously dyed with a little smile, but Chu Nian still didn't mean to stop, a few tears were forced out of his eyes, and then pitifully pulled a small section of the sleeve of Ming Xiu's right hand that was blocking behind him.

"Your Highness......"

He stared at her fixedly, for a long time, before he sighed helplessly, "Okay, I'll show you, you are not allowed to laugh at me." ”

Chu Nian raised his eyes suspiciously, and saw Ming Xiu's hand coming out from behind him, opening his hand, and there was a wooden hairpin lying in the palm of his hand.

This wooden hairpin seems to be in the shape of an orchid, which makes Chu Nian suddenly think of the one they bought on the street two days ago, Ming Xiu, at that time she also wondered why Ming Xiu had nothing to do to buy a wooden hairpin, and at this moment she realized that Ming Xiu actually drew a gourd and made a new one.

It's just that compared to the wooden hairpin made by the craftsman, the one in front of me looks a little rougher, and the color is also very clumsy, and you can see how much blue paint can leak on the outside of the orchid, and the big hand holding the wooden hairpin seems to have a little knife edge on the tip of the finger, and the knife edge is cut on the edge of the cocoon, and there is a hint of redness.

Chu Nian suddenly felt a trace of inexplicability rise in her heart, she couldn't help but grin, stretched out her hand, and grabbed the wooden hairpin that had not had time to put away in the palm of her hand.

"Your Highness gave it to me?"

Looking at Chu Nian, who was holding a rough wooden hairpin in front of him and smiling like a child, Ming Xiu's eyes couldn't help but flash slightly, nodded slightly, and said lightly with thin lips: "I was originally going to give it to you, but now this workmanship is ......."

He glanced at the handmade jewelry stall beside him, and then reached for the wooden hairpin in Chu Nian's hand, "Wait until I make a new one for you." ”

"Nope." Chu Nian put the hand holding the hairpin behind his back, and unconsciously looked up at Ming Xiu with his feet on his feet, his red lips pursed slightly, as if to express his indignation, "Your Highness has done it, why don't you give it to me?" Why do you have to do it all over again? That's it, I like it tight. ”

As she spoke, she took out the wooden hairpin again, and inserted the wooden hairpin into the bun with joy on her face, and a pair of watery eyes could not find the pupil.

"Your Highness, is it good-looking?"

The occasional glimmer of sunlight from the dark clouds shone on that smiling face, Ming Xiu's eyes were slightly stunned, and after a moment, he lowered his head and coughed lightly.

"Beautiful."

Chu Nian couldn't help but grin the corners of his mouth again, and forgot to buy an umbrella, so he reached out and grabbed the big palm that was dodging on his side. "It's rare to be able to walk on the street so blatantly, so let's have a good stroll."

Feeling the softness of his palms for a long time, Ming Xiu inexplicably hooked the corners of his lips and said a soft "um".

So there was a couple of men and women on the noisy street who put down all their worries and concubines.

……

The two of them wandered around the street until it was almost dark, and on the way back, Ming Xiu suddenly frowned.

Chu Nian also felt something, she turned her eyes to look at Ming Xiu, and saw Ming Xiu nodding slightly. Then, Chu Nian easily shook the hand of Ming Xiu, who had been in place all day, and the two walked hand in hand to the hidden alley not far away, and disappeared into the alley.

At this time, not far behind the two, a round figure sneaked out, she looked at the alley where Chu Nian and the two disappeared, biting her fingers, as if she was struggling with whether to follow up.

But at this moment, a clear female voice suddenly sounded in her ears, "But Xichu Yuanniang?" ”

Xichu Lu Qing was startled by this voice, the two fat lines on her face trembled obviously, and then she took a step back with a pale face, just hitting the cold wall behind her.

There were two figures standing opposite her, one tall and one short, one black and one white, who were Ming Xiu and Chu Nian.

At this moment, Chu Nianzheng looked at Xichu Luqing in front of him with playful eyes, "Why does Xichu Yuanniang follow His Highness and me?" Don't you really want to marry our Highness back? ”

Feeling a force coming from the palm of his hand, Chu Nian couldn't help but grin and glance at Ming Xiu, and turned to look at Xi Chu Luqing, "Yuan Niang died of this heart, Your Highness is already mine." ”

Ming Xiu's brows on the side couldn't help but tie a knot again, and when he saw the teasing on the face of the person beside him, he reached out and pinched it fiercely on that little face before he would give up.

At this moment, Xichu Lu Qing seemed to be scared to cry, her round body shrunk into a ball, and she said in a trembling voice: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'm ......"
