Chapter 6: The Queen
When the queen heard this, she couldn't help laughing, and said, "You, you can't tell you anything, and if you tell you, the whole world will know about it!" ”
As soon as he said this, the ladies in the room laughed, and the atmosphere in the whole room was also a lot more lively.
The queen saw that Xu Lan and Xu Xin were young, just the age of flowers and bones, so she called the two of them over and stood beside her.
The queen took a closer look at the two sisters, turned around and smiled at Princess Xu and said, "Oh, I said that you are a blessed person, the two girls are more intelligent than the other, and they are also sensible and polite, your blessing is great!" ”
The mother in the world doesn't like others to praise her children, and Princess Xu really thinks that her girl is good in her heart, hearing the queen say this, even if she admonishes herself to be modest and cautious in her heart, the smile on her face can't be suppressed: "The queen said that she laughed, the girl's family, which one is not smart, I saw the girl of the Song family a few days ago, and she is also gentle and generous, which is particularly painful." ”
"Oh, have you seen Song Guogong since you returned to Beijing?" The queen asked with a smile, and there was a bit of inquiry in her tone and eyes.
When Princess Xu saw this, she didn't regret that she was talking, they King Xu moved his family back to Beijing, they were walking on thin ice, and now they rashly befriended others, but they didn't let others catch the wrong place.
"Back to the queen's mother, it was snowing heavily a few days ago, and we met Sister Song Ran on the street, Sister Song Ran is good, and she is gentle and gentle to us!"
Just when Princess Xu was remorseful, she heard Xu Lanjiao next to her say crisply.
The queen glanced at Xu Lan, and saw that she was only wearing a pair of pearl row noodles today, which was both delicate and dignified, and she had a kind of pitiful cuteness of a child just now, and she didn't like it in her heart: "Which girl of the Xu family are you?" ”
Xu Lan replied: "I am the second girl of the Xu family, Xu Lan." ”
Princess Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, watching the queen pull Xu Lan to ask questions, she knew that this level was passed.
It's just that I saw Xu Lan's down-and-out appearance, and her own daughter still stood there shyly and didn't speak, and she sighed in her heart.
The two girls are both beautiful and beautiful, and their temperaments are indeed 108,000 miles apart.
After coming out of Yikun Palace, Princess Xu had already rested because it was too late, and the wind and snow in the north were heavy, so she couldn't help but feel a little pain in her head.
Xu Lan watched Princess Xu leaning on the carriage mattress, frowning tightly, then kneeling over and gently massaging Princess Xu's head acupoints.
Princess Xu naturally ironed in her heart, and then saw Xu Xin staring blankly at the courtyard of the palace outside the carriage, and sighed in her heart.
In the past few days, she can sigh the most.
Originally, Xu Xin was older, and it was Xu Xin who was most anxious about marriage, but she was soft-hearted before, considerate of her daughter's family, once she got married, she didn't have a quiet life, and she was very indulgent to Xu Lan and Xu Xin.
In the fiefdom before, the vision was small, and Xu Lan and Xu Xin were naturally one top and one good.
But now that I have arrived in the capital, the most important thing here is the famous girl, the stunning beauty who sinks the fish and the geese, in such a comparison, Xu Lan and Xu Xin are not the same people, but they are indeed not bright and bright.
If a woman marries, if she wants to find a good family, she will be smooth and safe for the rest of her life, in addition to her own appearance, the more important thing is to be generous and have a lot of communication skills.
Xu Lan has done a good job in this regard, although she is a concubine, she is not inferior, nor proud, and she can win the love of others when she interacts with people generously.
It's Xu Xin, she has never been proud of being the concubine of Xu Wangfu, but her temperament is too shy, whether it is talking to Song Ran before, or her performance in Yikun Palace at today's palace banquet, it is really difficult to say a word of satisfaction.
As soon as she thought of this, Princess Xu couldn't help but have a headache.
That's it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and blindly forcing it may not be able to end up with benefits, so I will teach Xu Xin slowly in the future, I hope he can understand his hard work.
King Xu's Mansion is not far from the palace, and the carriage swayed forward, and it only took two meals to reach the gate of King Xu's Mansion.
Xu Lan carefully helped Princess Xu get out of the carriage. Xu Xin also reacted that her mother was unwell at this time, and the two of them helped Princess Xu back to the room, and after waiting for Princess Xu to rest, they went back to their respective rooms.
Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the heavens also rejoice in this festival, and today it will snow heavily.
In the year of Ruixue Zhaofeng, Xu Lan looked at the heavy snow, and couldn't help but feel happy, so she didn't rush back to the room, but walked in the yard to enjoy the snow.
The weather in the north is really different from the south, when there is such a heavy snow in the south, it is snow, and it is just a thin layer on the ground, so it is boring.
Xu Lan didn't know why, she seemed to like the snow in the north very much, looking at the heavy snow, Xu Lan gently picked up the snow on the branches, and blew a breath, and the snow drifted away casually.
"But where is Sister Lan?" Xu Lan was enjoying the snow alone, when she suddenly heard a clear male voice behind her, she couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly looked back.
I only saw a young man standing behind Xu Lan, wearing a dark coat, staring at Xu Lan without blinking.
Xu Lan has rarely seen other foreign men, except for Xu Wangye, there are no other young men in this Xu Wangfu, not to mention that the young man looks extraordinary, and the clothes he wears are either rich or expensive.
Xu Lan couldn't help but be a little scared, but she still had the courage to ask, "Who are you?" Why here? ”
The man Xu saw the fear in Xu Lan's heart, so he smiled and said: "I am the fourth prince Ji Chen, I came to pay a New Year's greeting to Prince Xu today, I just ate wine, I was a little drunk, so I came out for a walk, but I didn't expect that girl, you are here to enjoy the snow, I am abrupt." The man didn't take a step forward, for fear of startling Xu Lan.
Xu Lan looked at him, he didn't look like he was lying, and his heart couldn't help but settle down a little.
She saluted the man and said, "The little woman is the second girl of Xu Wangfu, Xu Lan, who has seen the fourth prince. ”
The man nodded and said, "Sister Lan, but in a few days, you will be in time?" ”
Xu Lan thought that this was not a secret, so she nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Ji Chen didn't know what to say now, Xu Lan was so silent, he was really hard to answer, and the two of them were strangely silent for a while.
After a while, Ji Chen said again: "Sister Lan and Lu Ri, I'm afraid I won't be able to come, but I also like it a little when I see Sister Lan Zhong Lingyuxiu." Since I met it today, I will give it to Sister Lan in advance. ”
Xu Lan was shocked and said, "How is this good?" The four princes just couldn't come that day, so they asked someone to send the gifts, and the men and women of today's big night were not kissed, and they were privately given and received, and what kind of system did they become. ”
When Ji Chen heard Xu Lan say this, there was a little more smile in his eyes: "Why do you want to teach each other privately, you and I are cousins, it's just that my cousin gave you a gift in advance, it's okay." ”
Xu Lan is still unwilling, and the prince privately confers, this matter can be big or small, although it is a cousin, but it is not as close as a brother and sister, if others know, she received a gift from the fourth prince at night, but ten mouths can't tell.
Ji Chen saw that Xu Lan insisted on refusing to accept it, so he had no choice.
said to Xu Lan: "Since this is the case, I don't force it, Sister Lan should go back as soon as possible, now it is snowing heavily and slippery, be careful of slipping on the road." ”
Encountering this kind of thing, Xu Lan didn't want to appreciate the snow for a long time, but it was just because the four princes were here, so it was not good to say that he would leave in advance, and now he actually let himself go back, Xu Lan naturally couldn't ask for it, so he saluted happily and said: "Since this is the case, then Xu Lan will retire first." The four princes should also be careful, the road is slippery. ”
Ji Chen naturally smiled and nodded.
"Hey, Sister Lan, wait a minute, there seems to be something behind your hat." At the moment when Xu Lan turned around to leave, she suddenly heard Ji Chen behind her say.
Before Xu Lan could react, she felt a person walking quickly behind her, and then she felt Ji Chen's hand gently brushing her hat.
Ji Chen said to Xu Lan: "Okay, it turned out to be a leaf, Sister Lan, let's go, it's too late." ”
Xu Lan frowned, didn't stay long, then thanked her and walked to her room.
Ji Chen looked at Xu Lan's distant figure, and couldn't help but think for a moment in his heart.
But after a while, Ji Chen shook his head and smiled, and also left to go to Prince Xu.
Xu Lan here has quickened her pace since she left Ji Chen, and it will not take long for her to arrive in her room.
"Why is the girl in such a hurry, what happened to the palace banquet tonight?" Seeing Xu Lan's panting appearance, Baizhu couldn't help but ask anxiously.
Xu Lan didn't speak, just grabbed the teapot on the table and took a big sip of water.
After calming down, I don't want to think about what happened just now, after all, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.
Baizhu saw that Xu Lan was reluctant to say, and it was inconvenient to ask more, so he stepped forward to serve Xu Lan to change her clothes.
"Girl! What is this? ”
Xu Lan heard Baizhu shouting, her heart couldn't help but be ominous, she turned her head to look at Baizhu's hand, it was the jade pendant that Ji Chen wanted to give her just now!
Xu Lan hurriedly stepped forward to block Baizhu's mouth, and whispered: "Where did you find this thing!" ”
Baizhu also realized that he had lost his temper, and whispered in a panic: "I found it in the girl's hat!" Where did this come from?! ”
Xu Lan remembered that when she was about to leave, Ji Chen called to wish herself, and moved her hat, and couldn't help but sigh!
