If it is said that on the side of Xu Wangye, there are all kinds of open guns and hidden arrows, you come and go, then Xu Lan and Xu Xin's side is a lot more harmonious, no matter what, it looks like a flower on the surface.

"Miss Lan, Miss Xin, has your mother been feeling better lately?"

Xu Lan and Xu Xin never thought that the first person to ask them was actually the current queen mother, Xu Lan and Xu Xin hurriedly stood up and saluted, and replied: "Back to the queen mother, my mother's health has improved a lot, and I only need to recuperate for a few days, and I can come to ask the queen mother for peace." ”

The queen mother saw the appearance of the two sisters like flowers and jade, and said with a smile: "You don't have to come to say hello to me, if your mother is well, just raise it at home for a few more days, it has snowed heavily in the capital recently, and the weather is very cold, so you don't have to toss back and forth." ”

Since the queen mother said this, Xu Lan and Xu Xin were not easy to refute, so they gave a low order.

"Let me say, this queen can be said to be kind-hearted, and this Princess Xu is also blessed, you see these two girls, one is smart and cute. I don't know whose kid it is in the future, and he can marry home with such a blessing! ”

When Xu Lan heard this, she secretly took a look at it, and it turned out that she had met the old lady of the Song Guogong Mansion on the road that day.

I saw her looking at Xu Lan and Xu Xin with a kind face, and said with a smile.

The people present are all female dependents, and the things they worry about on weekdays are not trivial in the house, but also the marriage between the children and daughters, hearing the old lady of the Song Guogong Mansion say this, the children and relatives laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely active, but Xu Lan and Xu Xin blushed and did not make a sound.

However, in the end, Xu Lan and Xu Xin are both daughters who have not left the cabinet, and Princess Xu is not present, the queen mother wants to help the two girls talk openly and secretly, so the female relatives present did not embarrass the two daughters.

This Qianqiu banquet, for Xu Lan and Xu Xin, is coming to an end peacefully.

It's just a little bit of a hiccup. It turned out that Xu Xin and Xu Lan had not drunk much at home before, and Princess Xu had never advocated that her two daughters drink more, so Xu Lan and Xu Xin's alcohol consumption was not large.

Today, because they have to deal with the ladies of various families, Xu Lan and Xu Xin are both juniors, and it is not easy for the elders to toast with a single stroke, so unconsciously, Xu Landao felt that he was a little drunk.

The ladies present are all human spirits, coming and going in the wind and rain, so they can naturally see Xu Lan's drunkenness, and someone ridiculed at the moment and said: "This is the second girl of the palace, and she is too straightforward, she was drunk in the banquet in a good manner, this is to be said, it can't be said that the second girl of the palace is greedy for a cup!" ”

When Xu Lan heard this, her cheeks, which were already slightly red because of drunkenness, turned even redder, and the queen couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene, and ordered the palace maid next to her to take Xu Lan down to drink some sobering medicine and sober up.

I saw the queen mother smile and said: "You girl is too sincere, how can you be stubborn and get yourself drunk." ”

Xu Lan couldn't refute it, so she could only salute the ladies present with a red face, and then followed the palace maid next to the emperor to sober up.

Xu Lan followed the palace maid to the back palace, the palace maid's hands and feet were particularly nimble, and her movements were also very gentle, so she immediately ordered someone to make a basin of hot water to wash Xu Lan's face, and then instructed the palace maid next to her to boil a pot of sobering soup and hand it to Xu Lan.

Xu Lan was dizzy, and she could only be at the mercy of the palace maid, but after washing her face and drinking a few sips of sobering soup, Xu Lan felt that her mind was a lot clearer, and her face was not so red.

"Thank you for taking care of the queen, if it weren't for the queen, I would have been a lot ugly tonight." Xu Lan felt a little more conscious, so she smiled and thanked the palace maid.

"Girl, you are too polite, the queen mother just looks at the girl's young age, so she naturally has to take care of it more, the girl can drink a little less wine when she goes out for a while, otherwise the girl drinks very shallowly, don't get drunk again."

The palace maid also smiled affectionately and gently, and replied carefully. Xu Lan naturally nodded with a smile.

Xu Lan rested for a while, then felt a lot better, and saw that the Qianqiu Banquet outside was coming to an end, and Xu Lan couldn't stay in the palace longer, so she asked the palace maid to take her in the direction of the Qianqiu Banquet.

When walking on the long corridor, Xu Lan turned her head to take a look at the palace, although it was already winter, but it had a different view. Everywhere is wrapped in plain silver, but there are a few plum blossoms dotted there, and there is a sense of stepping on the snow to find plums.

Unexpectedly, as they walked, Xu Lan and they ushered in two people.

Xu Lan looked at the past, one of them was Ji Chen, the fourth prince of the palace a few days ago, and the other looked like a young and handsome man, but he didn't know who his name was.

The two groups of people met head-on, and Xu Lan didn't know how to deal with it, so she could only salute vaguely: "I've seen the four princes." ”

When Ji Chen saw Xu Lan, he still had a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Sister Lan doesn't have to be polite, this is the eldest son of King Cui, Cui He." Speaking of which, my sister should also call him brother. ”

It turned out that this person was Cui He, the eldest son of King Cui, Xu Lan couldn't help but be cautious in her heart, and didn't dare to be ambiguous, and then saluted: "It turned out to be Cui Gongzi, the little girl is rude." ”

King Cui's fief is in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is in charge of the power of salt and iron, located in a wealthy place, rich on the side of the rich, Cui He, the eldest son of King Cui, grew up in the capital since he was a child, but he is light and cautious and modest, never arrogant, and for a time he has a very good reputation in Shilin, and his connections are also extremely extensive.

At present, the situation in the capital is treacherous, Xu Lan naturally will not offend Cui He, so she said with a smile: "It turns out that this is Brother Cui He, but I grew up in Biansai since I was a child, and I have never seen Brother Cui He, so I was rude." ”

Cui He has always been sleek, how could he make Xu Lan ugly? At the moment, he also smiled and said: "Sister Lan, you don't have to apologize, I just came over, and I didn't sign up for the post first, which made Sister Lan embarrassed." ”

Xu Lan smiled, and then asked suspiciously, "Is the Qianqiu Banquet over?" Why did the two brothers fall to the back? ”

Hearing Xu Lan ask like this, Ji Chen and Cui He didn't speak for a while, first Cui He couldn't hold back, and laughed: "Don't hide what my sister said, it's really that the two of us can't hold up the amount of alcohol." The elders have always loved to drink, but the amount of alcohol is also very large, Ji Chen and I are really too much to drink, so we can only find an excuse to come out and sober up. ”

When Xu Lan heard them say this, she couldn't help laughing: "It turned out that I came to sober up, but it's the same as me." ”

The three of them looked at each other and laughed together.

After laughing, the three of them felt that the relationship between them was also a little closer, and Cui He spoke up first: "Look at the direction of my sister's going, isn't it to go back to the Qianqiu banquet?" ”

Xu Lan nodded and said, "Yes, seeing that the Qianqiu banquet is coming to an end, and I can't stay in the palace for a long time, I thought about rushing back first, and then I will go back with the family's carriage in a while." ”

Cui He nodded and said: "That's right, your daughter's family can't stay in the palace for a long time, anyway, I've drunk enough when I come out, why don't I go back with you, Ji Chen, do you want to go back?" Cui He said and looked at Ji Chen.

Ji Chen shook his head and said, "You two go back first, I'm still a little dizzy, take a walk in this backyard first." ”

As soon as these words came out, Cui He couldn't help laughing at him and said, "Your alcohol consumption is so poor, but I overestimate you." ”

Ji Chen has always been an indifferent person and doesn't want to have a verbal dispute with him. Just glanced at him, and continued walking.

Xu Lan saw this scene next to her and laughed first: "Unexpectedly, the relationship between Brother Cui and Brother Ji Chen is very good. ”

Cui He smiled: "Sister Lan, you are really good at talking, how dare I have a good relationship with him, he is cold to people every day, I am just laughing in front of him." ”

Xu Lan didn't answer this, but said: "Brother Cui can still say a few words in front of Brother Ji Chen, others are afraid that within a few steps of Brother Ji Chen, they will be frozen." ”

Cui He didn't refute Xu Lan's words, but just glanced at him with a smile and said, "Okay, Sister Lan, I'll take you back to the Qianqiu Banquet." Xu Lan naturally nodded yes.

The two walked side by side for a while, and suddenly Cui He asked again: "Sister Lan, I don't know if Brother Xu Zhen has been getting better recently?" ”

Xu Lan is the first time she has heard others ask about Xu Zhen's body in the past few days, after all, Xu Zhen's assassination has caused a stir in the entire capital, and Xu Zhen has been unconscious, which is also something that everyone knows, no one came forward to touch the mold and ask about Xu Zhen's condition, so Cui He was the first person to ask Xu Zhen.

Xu Lan glanced at Xu Zheng and saw that his expression was sincere, not like a fake, not the kind of villain who mocked and fell into the well, so she shook her head and said: "Brother Xu Zhen's body is not very good, and he is still lying on the bed unconscious, but the imperial doctor has come to take a look, and there is no big problem, but for some reason, he didn't wake up." ”

Xu Lan said, also thinking of the current days of Xu Wangfu, and her face couldn't help but be a little lower.

Cui He saw that Xu Lan's mood was a little lower, and he couldn't help but comfort: "It's okay, Brother Xu Zhen will not die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, and Brother Xu Zhen will definitely come to his senses." ”

When Xu Lan heard Cui He comforting him like this, she could only smile reluctantly: "I hope, I just hope that Brother Xu Zhen will wake up as soon as possible, so that his mother's health can get better as soon as possible." ”

Cui He nodded, and after a while, he said without indignation: "I don't know who the thief is, he is so hateful, he openly entered the palace to rob, and even stabbed people, it's really annoying!" ”
