Jian Xubai also felt very serious when he heard about this matter: "Originally, my aunt and grandmother are old, so it is not appropriate to stimulate her old man anymore!" Now that she lives in a house like that and is paralyzed, she must not be rashly told such news! ”

He hesitated for a long time, and finally decided, "Although Changxing said what Cousin Shen looked like, you also know that she may not be credible. For such a big thing, you can't just listen to her one-sided words, it's better to confirm it yourself! In this way, I will pester my aunt and grandmother and two cousins later, and you will find a way to take Cousin Shen to her room to talk and ask her face to face! ”

Song Yixiao calmed down and thought about it.

So half an hour later, after the couple met Mrs. Duanmu, they didn't say a few words of greeting, Song Yi laughed "accidentally" and knocked over most of the tea on her skirt!

Seeing this, she hurriedly got up and pleaded guilty-of course, Old Madam Duanmu would not blame her for being disrespectful, but asked with great concern: "Is it hot?" Does it hurt? ”

"Aunt and grandmother are relieved, the tea has been put on hold for a while, and it is not hot." Song Yi smiled and showed a look of shame, and said, "It's just that this embarrassment is a joke for my aunt and grandmother!" ”

"It's all your own family, but you're a kid!" Old Madam Duanmu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she was not injured, but she didn't need to take the initiative, so she said, "Let Qi Mo take you to her room to clean up, if it's still cold today, you can't wear a wet skirt all the time - I see that you are about the same size, you can put down her skirt first, your body is important!" ”

"My aunt and grandmother are serious, but I have to bother my cousin!" Song Yi smiled and blessed before retiring, Shen Qimo had already grabbed her arm without seeing it, and said with a smile: "Cousin-in-law come with me!" ”

The two sisters-in-law chatted casually while walking towards the boudoir behind them - this Shen Qimo is honestly not like a girl who grew up in the imperial tomb, she has a lively personality, cheerful and enthusiastic, how do you look like she grew up in the imperial capital.

Not only did he grow up in the imperial capital, but if it wasn't for the environment where his father loved his mother and loved his family, I am afraid he would not be able to raise such a bright and smiling girl.

Even if Song Yixiao, who was full of thoughts and words, was stunned by her several times on this short road.

"No wonder my aunt and grandmother don't bring their granddaughter with her!" Song Yi smiled and couldn't help but think, "Such a girl who can coax people to be happy, even if she is a little careful, I like her to always be in front of me if I change it!" ”

However, Shen Qimo will coax people to be happy again, and he can't let Song Yixiao forget about business.

So after a while, after going to her room to change into a new skirt, Song Yixiao sat down and said gently: "Cousin, the embroidery of this skirt is chic, but you made it yourself?" ”

"I heard my grandmother say that this embroidery pattern was the most fashionable in the imperial capital more than 20 years ago." Seeing this, Shen Qimo personally made her a cup of tea, and waved her hand to let the maid retreat, before she sat down, pursed her lips and smiled, "I listened to curiosity, so I embroidered a few stitches casually." Clumsy, don't laugh at me! ”

"How so?" Song Yixiao's compliment was sincere, "Cousin, this female red foundation is really good, although this vine is simple, it is full of vitality, but it is not something that ordinary people can embroider!" ”

Shen Qimo smiled and said, "Cousin-in-law, don't coax me!" My hands are more acceptable than ordinary ladies, but in front of my cousin-in-law, what is it? ”

She covered her mouth with a smile, "When I met the Queen Mother with my grandmother, I also offered a few handkerchiefs embroidered with my heart." The Queen Mother said herself, my craftsmanship is even worse than yours! ”

"The Queen Mother wants to see that I am your sister-in-law, and she is afraid that I will lose face by you, so she will give me a round?" Song Yixiao said that the embroidery pattern was not for small talk, so he said quietly, "When it comes to embroidered handkerchiefs, other patterns are fine, the kind of cross-necked mandarin duck and Tilian, but I can't embroider it well!" ”

She pretended to be casual and said, "But when I went to talk to your third cousin-in-law, Her Royal Highness Princess Changxing, I saw a handkerchief embroidered with this, which was lifelike and exquisitely embroidered!" It's a pity that Her Royal Highness Princess Changxing has her own use, but she refuses to lend it to me to go back to the house to watch! ”

Speaking of this, she pretended to bow her head to drink tea, but the corner of her eyes brought Shen Qimo's expression.

Seeing that this cousin's voice changed, and her eyes revealed a clear panic, Song Yixiao didn't know that what Princess Changxing said, at least eight. Ninety percent true?

She sighed in her heart, and couldn't tell what it was like, so she silently considered the next words.

But after Shen Qimo's face turned pale for a while, he forced a smile and said first: "I don't know what the third cousin asked the fourth cousin to come over, what are you talking about?" Now that I have taken out that veil, why do I refuse to lend it to you? ”

Speaking of this, she was afraid that she would be seen as flawed, so she covered it up again, "After all, the third cousin-in-law is a golden branch and jade leaf, what do you want?" How can you be reluctant to lend a handkerchief? It makes me feel weird! ”

"Cousin!" Song Yixiao opened her mouth slightly, looking at the cousin not far away, with a face very similar to Jian Xubai, with a girl's childish eyebrows, because of the pair of phoenix eyes from the Lu family's bloodline, naturally revealing a little flattery.

With white porcelain-like skin and red rhombus-like lips, this is the most beautiful time for a girl.

It's so beautiful that I know that she has made a mistake, and I can't bear to watch her ruin, or bleak.

All kinds of rhetoric turned around on his lips, but in the end he chose to go straight to the point, "Are you the third cousin of Jian, I mean, the concubine of Her Royal Highness Princess Changxing, a handkerchief embroidered with cross-necked mandarin ducks and Tilian?" ”

"Did the third cousin tell you?" Shen Qimo is not stupid, she had a premonition when Song Yixiao mentioned the pattern of "cross-necked mandarin duck and Tilian". It's just that Song Yixiao didn't break it, she still pretended to be confused with the hope of what happened!

Now Song Yixiao even said Jian Yiyu, and said that she saw the veil at Princess Changxing's place, where can she deny it?

At this moment, he was silent for a moment, smiled dismally, lowered his head and said, "I knew that the third cousin was a princess!" How can I hide the matter with my cousin Yiyu? ”

Song Yixiao took a deep breath, leaned over slightly, held her hand, and said sincerely: "Cousin, you are young, you may not know, the third brother is good to you, but he is actually ......"

"Cousin, you misunderstood!" Who thought that before she finished speaking, Shen Qimo shook his head and said, "It's not the third cousin who is looking for me, it's me who fell in love with the third cousin at first sight and took the initiative to find him!" ”

After a pause, he said, "At first, he didn't want to pay attention to me, I chased after his horse, and accidentally fell." He was afraid that something would happen to me, so he had to turn back to see me. Seeing that I had broken my leg and refused to go back to my grandmother's place, he had to take me to his hospital for medicine - in short, I took the initiative to pester him! ”

Song Yi smiled: "..................!!! ”

She calmed down, held Shen Qimo's hand, and continued to speak bitterly: "Cousin! You are still too young, and you have just come to the imperial capital, so when you see the third brother, you think he is very good! In fact, even if you don't mention that he is already a married man, there are many young men who have not married in this imperial capital! Especially this year, in time for the Spring Festival, talents from all over the country have gathered in the imperial capital, it's not that I say bad things about the third brother: but he is really not a top-notch person, and it is not worth your life for him! ”

"I don't care!" Shen Qimo raised his eyes to look at her, and his phoenix eyes, which were very similar to Jian Xubai, were full of seriousness, "Although I have been in the imperial capital these days, I haven't seen anyone. But I think both Uncle Jane and the fourth cousin are excellent talents, right? I know that Cousin Yiyu is inferior to my uncle or fourth cousin, both in appearance and bearing—but I just like Cousin Yiyou! ”

When she said this, her cheeks flushed, her long eyelashes flickered from time to time, and she was obviously a little embarrassed, but she still said softly, "Cousin, you don't know: the first time I saw Cousin Yiyou, although he came with his third cousin, he seemed lonely when he stood to greet his grandmother, or when he sat down to talk to his aunt and grandmother. Look, call ...... Call ......"

His head almost hung down to his chest, and he struggled to finish his words, "...... It makes people feel that it is strange and distressing! ”

Song Yi smiled and almost vomited blood: "Cousin, the third brother is the eldest princess's beloved son, and he is the grandson of the current Queen Mother and the nephew of His Majesty!" Since he was a child, how can he be alone? He just doesn't like to talk! ”

In contrast, stupid cousin, you are distressing!

is such a withdrawn and indifferent master, why did he hook your soul with a face?!

The things that chased people and horses on the street and ran behind them have been done!

It's a shame that the imperial capital has been turbulent recently, and the government and the opposition can't be idle!

Otherwise, there is no need to go to Princess Changxing's Mansion, and you can hear the news of Shen Qimo's disgrace from the rumors!

She thought that she had tried her best to defend Shen Qimo in front of Princess Changxing before, and after leaving the eldest princess's mansion, she suspected that Shen Qimo was a victim.

Song Yixiao felt that her whole person was not good!

But she was so anxious here, although Shen Qimo blushed, she bowed her head and said nothing, "I know what I did wrong, but I just can't control myself" - Song Yixiao went from bitter to heartbroken, and said with a dry mouth, and drank almost the whole pot of tea that Shen Qimo had just made, but this cousin still didn't squeak, obviously didn't listen!

Rao is Song Yixiao has always been calm, this will also move the real fire, put the empty tea bowl back on the table, and sneered: "Since you can't listen to my heartfelt words, then I only ask you: You are good, the third brother is good, what ability do you have to deal with Princess Changxing's questioning?!" Although this dynasty can't help but concubines, not to mention whether Princess Changxing will allow you to enter the door, how long can you live after entering the princess's mansion, have you thought about it?! ”

"I've thought about it, I don't have to go into the princess's mansion." Shen Qimo hurriedly said, "Just live in the other courtyard where Cousin Yiyu took me to medicine!" I really like him, I don't care about his reputation! ”

Song Yixiao really didn't know what to say to her, so she said after a while: "I don't know if you really think so, or if you want to use this trick to retreat." But I can tell you, neither of these paths will work: do you think that the princess is only honored in the princess's mansion? The whole world is not the king's land, let's say that you live in another courtyard, if you continue to mix with the third brother, you will avoid the emperor's tomb, and the princess wants you to die is just a word! ”

And he said, "How much more the princess is not alone!" This time, my aunt and grandmother were able to go back to the imperial capital for medical treatment, all because of the grace of the Queen Mother! But the Queen Mother opened this favor not to give you the opportunity to pit her granddaughter! Now this matter has not reached the palace, otherwise not only you, your aunt and grandmother, the two cousins, including your family in the imperial tomb, will not end well! ”

Speaking of this, he slowed down his tone, "This hurts, but it's true!" In fact, speaking of my aunt's paralysis, my aunt's wind paralysis is not a day or two, what did she choose to come to the imperial capital for medical treatment at the end of last year, have you thought about it? ”

Without waiting for Shen Qimo to answer, she sighed, "Because, there is a spring festival this spring!" ”

"Speaking of which, although your surname is Shen and not Lu, you also have royal blood! If the Chengyang Palace's Mansion is still there, how can she be a noble girl! ”

"But the Chengyang Palace's Mansion has fallen, and your lineage is still detained in the Emperor's Tomb to guard the Mausoleum - you have such a beautiful appearance, what good people can you promise in that place?"

"So it's not so much that my aunt and grandmother came to the imperial capital for medical treatment this year, but that I came here for your youth and your future!"

"Spring will gather talents from all over the world in the imperial capital!"

"Among these talents, there are many children of the poor family who are weak - my uncle and grandfather have not been posthumously sealed so far, which shows that the Heavenly Family still has doubts or dissatisfaction with the King of Chengyang! Yes, no matter how beautiful you are, no matter how sensible and cute you are, the powerful families in this imperial capital will not hire you! ”

"It's not that you're not good enough, it's that you're afraid of displeasing Your Majesty!"

"Only those scholars from poor families, if you marry, you will not make Your Majesty suspicious!"

"This will also give you a good home!"

Speaking of this in one breath, Song Yixiao's eyes were heavy, "Aunt and grandmother have worked hard, I have said all I have to say, what to do, you can watch it!" ”

As he spoke, he got up and opened the door.
