Chapter 60: Invitations

Zhao Lu looked at Xiao Dong and then at Zhao Lu, and smiled.

Xiao Dong was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Lu stood by the door, and the shadow of the lamp dragged out at his feet.

I don't know when, Zhao Lu has grown taller and grown. He is no longer as childish as Xiao Dong was when he first met him. He has grown a lot taller, and he already has the posture of a young man.

In Zhao Lu's eyes, Xiaodong has also grown up.

I remember the first time she was wearing a short jacket, with velvet flowers tied on her head, sitting on the edge of the bed, her feet couldn't touch the ground, hanging, and there were two small pompoms on the toe of her shoes, obediently not moving, her eyes were big, her mouth was small, and her face was red, like a rag doll.

Zhao Lu couldn't say what he felt at the time, he knew that he had a younger sister, different mother, he had met when he was very young, and he had no impression for a long time. But sometimes, it is inevitable to think of this sister. Then when I saw Xiao Dong, those vague imaginations were like scattered and messy thin lines on the painting paper suddenly overlapping and combined, dyed with bright colors, and then blowing a breath, and the person in the painting came to life.

The sister he imagined was like this, not bad at all.

And at that time, he also knew that Yao Qingyuan's illness would not get better.

This doll-like and cute sister has become a motherless child like him.

Zhao Lu suddenly felt that he had become taller.

He felt that he had a responsibility and obligation to take care of his sister and make up for her lack of a mother.

In the past, Zhao Lu always envied other people's mothers and sons, and sisters and brothers were harmonious. was picked up from Xiaodong, and Zhao Lu no longer envied others. On the contrary, he felt that others had to turn to him and envy him.

Who has such a cute, sensible and obedient sister? Not to mention that his sister is just as good to him.

Zhao Lu was like a treasure guarding the evil dragon, vigilant to everyone who approached.

This has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, after all, Xiaodong is still far from being a lady.

He just didn't want others to rob his sister of the territory that should have belonged to him.

When Shen Jing came before, he had been wary of Shen Jing, but he didn't think about it at that time, and Shen Jing and Xiao Dong were not close.

But this Qin Lie ......

Zhao Lu grinded his teeth secretly.

It's a dog that bites people and doesn't bark!

Zhao Lu's psychology, Xiao Dong also understands a little bit.

Uh, as a meat bone that was fought over by two puppies, Xiao Dong felt ...... Well, there's still a bit of vanity.

Sure enough, Zhao Lu didn't wait for two words to say that it was not early, and pulled Xiao Dong away.

Xiao Dong asked tentatively: "Father seems to be ...... Got something on your mind? ”

She had just asked casually, King An had been busy these days, but he had come back early today, and—it didn't look very easy.

"yes." Zhao Lu whispered: "Now I am clamoring for the crown prince." ”

Yes......

This is really a big deal, and it is not inferior to the importance of forcing the Empress Dowager Shengde to move the palace.

Xiao Dong didn't notice it at all, which shows that she is really not a shrewd person, at least she doesn't have a keen political sense at all.

The crown prince is the next emperor.

"Who, then, is it set up?"

"This ......," Zhao Lu whispered, "Most people say that they want to establish a successor." ”

That's the Three Princes.

"Some people say that they want to grow ......"

If there is no boss, then the old 2 is the boss. But the second prince's background and appearance are far worse than the third prince.

"There are also people who say that they should be virtuous, but now the prince is not very old, and he has not married or done anything, so he can't see who is more virtuous."

Well, that makes sense, too.

"What about the emperor?"

"The emperor didn't say anything."

So King An, who has been very busy, came back early for the first time. Is it the hustle and bustle outside, come home to hide and be quiet?

Maybe King An has other plans, but Xiao Dong doesn't understand.

"You're in the Academy...... If someone says anything to you, just ignore it. ”

Xiao Dong nodded in agreement. She remembered that in Changchun Palace, the queen, Ming Guifei and Zhang Jieyu were turbulent, was it also related to this matter?

Eighty percent is.

The hair was a little itchy, and Xiaodong scratched his ears.

It's really a wave of unsettled waves, and it doesn't make people have a few more days of down-to-earth life.

God bless Cousin Jinfeng and the third prince, right...... Otherwise, this is a mess......

Xiao Dong really has a bit of a headache.

"It's okay, since the emperor doesn't want to express his position now, it's useless for those people to toss, it'll be fine after a while." Zhao Lu comforted her: "Sister, don't worry. ”

"Hmm."

But this time Zhao Lu didn't say it right, this matter has been boiling for more than half a year, and it seems that more and more people are involved. Even Jiyutang, which should be the daughter country in the ivory tower, can gradually smell something else.

Xiaodong wanted to ignore what was going on outside the window, but if something came to you, you couldn't help it.

With a smiling face, the fourth princess earnestly invited Xiao Dong to her for tea, and said that there was a wedding gift for Shen Fang for Xiao Dong to hand over.

Xiao Dong smiled and said, "But I promised the Queen Mother to copy the scriptures...... Hmm, it's better like this, fourth sister, let's go to the Queen Mother together, right? The refreshments in Changchun Palace are good. ”

Although they didn't say it in advance, the four princesses couldn't go to the Empress Dowager Shengci to verify that they didn't have an appointment in advance.

The fourth princess paused, Xiao Dong didn't say much to her, directly took Shen Qiang's hand, and asked Yao Jinfeng again: "Sister Jinfeng, are you going?" ”

Yao Jinfeng bit the pen and turned his head to look: "I won't go." ”

"Fourth sister, let's go together?"

The fourth princess hesitated, but finally shook her head.

This is not the first time this kind of thing, the sixth princess is the most active, and she has been invited several times. The fifth princess was also invited a few times, and for a while, Xiaodong really became a fragrant sweetheart.

But this time she wasn't happy.

Zhao Lu and Qin Lie were both good to her, and Xiao Dong could be sure that they were not for anything else, they just wanted to be good to her.

But these people outside are different, they are Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword, not in Xiaodong, but in King An.

Alas, I hope the matter of establishing the prince will settle sooner.

Xiao Dong now understands why King An sent her to the countryside when he forced the Empress Dowager Shengde to move the palace last time.

She seriously considered whether she could not go to this palace school and go to school in another place. I heard that there are other women's schools in the capital, and there is a Linlang Academy that is very famous.

As soon as she mentioned this, Shen Qiang glanced at her: "Pull it down, it's troublesome here, isn't it troublesome to change places?" As long as it's the daughter of Prince An, where do you go......"

A palace man came over and avoided the side to salute. Shen Qiang stopped and didn't say anything, and when she walked over, she said, "Anyway, they just want to be close to you, just ignore it." ”

"Well, that's what my brother said the same......"

And with the Empress Dowager Shengci here, Xiao Dong in the harem doesn't have to be afraid of anyone.
