Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Woman Disguises as a Man

As he walked, the whispering voice of the palace people came. He Xuan turned his head sideways with displeasure on his face, and glared at a few palace people standing in the corner of the wall with mysterious expressions.

Those palace people didn't notice her gaze, but she heard the "crown princess" Yunyun, but she couldn't really hear the content, and her heart suddenly chuckled.

He Xuan gave Qing'er a look, and Qing'er understood, so she quietly left the team and walked towards the palace people.

The afternoon class, for Hexuan, is just a review class that he is familiar with.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, she also deliberately hid some edges. Even so, compared to the other children, her skills were so exquisite that the teacher praised her for her talent, which made her very embarrassed.

Back to Zhaohua Palace, He Xuan asked his mother Mrs. Cai to say goodbye, and told me about the interesting story of today's class.

After chatting for a long time, He Xuan looked at the little brother Ji Tai and had not returned to the palace yet, thinking that the boys' afternoon classes must be much stricter than their own hard work, and it is normal to lose later after class.

Thinking like this, she got up, stretched, and said with a smile that she wanted to go back to her side hall to rest for a while.

Mrs. Cai's face was full of love, and when she smiled, there were still some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and she nodded lightly, which was regarded as acquiescence.

He Xuan walked into the gate of the side hall, and the well-behaved Ruolan had already prepared a fruit plate and tea to welcome the second princess back to the palace.

As soon as she sat down and took a sip of tea, she immediately turned her head and hurriedly said to Qing'er who was standing behind her: "Let's talk quickly, it's quiet now, what have you heard today?" ”

"Actually... It's nothing, the princess doesn't listen. Qing'er was a little slurred.

This is strange, Qing'er has always been a person who can't hide words in her heart, why is this happening at this moment?

Ruolan, who was standing at the table, didn't know what happened outside Zhaohua Palace today, and looked at the two people with a puzzled expression.

In the face of He Xuan's oncoming questioning gaze, Qing'er had no choice but to lower her head and say softly: "They said... The prince doesn't like the princess, the princess... After entering the East Palace... Still is... Still is... Virgin body. ”

The last four words were said very softly, and He Xuan almost didn't hear them. She thought for a moment, blushed a little, and asked softly, "Hmm... How did these miscellaneous palace people know about such privacy? ”

"This... The slave and maid did not know. However, the slaves and maids listened to them, and it seemed that the news had spread all over the harem, and now it was a pastime for the palace people after tea and dinner. Qing'er is a little girl's family after all, and as she spoke, she felt that this topic was really embarrassing.

"I see." He Xuan said lightly, and then was silent for a long time before muttering to herself: "Such a thing, the crown princess naturally will not take the initiative to talk about it, and the prince will not say it to let the Jiang family know, so only the side concubine Zhao is left." ”

"The princess is talking about the crown prince's side concubine Zhao Rui'er? What good does it do her to spread such rumors? Ruolan seemed puzzled and asked.

"Nothing good. She just wanted to disgust the princess and make the princess faceless. He Xuan said coldly, and the expression on her face also became cold.

"No benefit?" Ruolan asked in surprise that she didn't understand a little.

He Xuan closed his eyes tightly and replied in a hard tone: "Yes, in popular terms, it is to harm others and not to oneself." Last time, she lost the bet and failed to pull the princess off the horse, but she lost a child, so she was naturally unwilling. But at this moment, everyone's eyes were staring at her, and she couldn't do anything, so she had to use this kind of indiscriminate method to make the princess uncomfortable. ”

"But isn't she afraid that someone will find out if she does this?" Qing'er immediately asked.

"Hehe, this kind of gossip, how difficult it is to find the source! What's more, you don't want to think about what the crown prince's concubine surname is, who will care about this matter? A sneering smile appeared at the corner of Hexuan's mouth, and he replied in a cold tone.

"The Zhao clan is really powerful, and they do all kinds of evil." Ruolan, who understood the truth, unconsciously sighed softly.

"That... The princess helped the crown princess last time, this time, do you want to go and comfort her? Qing'er asked tentatively.

He Xuan shook his head, slowly opened his bright eyes, and said, "No, it's better for me to pretend not to know about such a thing, so as not to embarrass her." ”

There was silence in the room for a while, and seeing that He Xuan was in a very bad mood, Qing'er didn't dare to say any more. Ruolan stood aside in a daze, looking like she was thinking.

After about a stick of incense, He Xuan spoke again, and the two little palace maids followed her to Mrs. Cai's main hall to welcome Ji Tai back for dinner.

The days went on like this, day after day, in an orderly manner.

Half a month later, it was Zhou Tianzi's birthday. On such a grand day, all countries sent envoys to congratulate them, and the post house in Hojing was already overcrowded.

Along with the footsteps of the envoys of various countries, there were also many private merchants. In the pickaxe capital, there was a lot of traffic for a while, and exotic costume jewelry could be seen everywhere, so it was not lively.

The birthday is the emperor's birthday, and the emperor ordered a three-day holiday to enjoy the whole world. Therefore, the princes and princesses don't need to go to Lingshu Hall to see Li Fuzi's old-fashioned and pedantic face these days.

"Second princess, do we really want to dress up like this and sneak out of the palace?" Qing'er looked uncomfortable, touched the bun on the top of her head, and looked left and right at the bronze mirror.

"Why not? Tomorrow is my father's birthday, and everyone in the palace is busy preparing today, so no one will notice us. Besides, I'm not a prisoner, so let's sneak out and sneak back before dinner. He Xuan walked to the bronze mirror, looked at the weak man in the bronze mirror, and felt that he was barely passing.

Looking at Qing'er again, she was happy with a puff. "Qing'er, I'll let you and Ruolan disguise themselves as men and go out of the palace with me, you look at Ruolan, and then look at yourself. It's obviously a man dressed up, why is he still holding an apricot-colored handkerchief in his hand! ”

Ruolan also lowered her head and secretly laughed a few times, Qing'er heard this, quickly threw away the handkerchief in her hand, and walked awkwardly to He Xuan.

At this moment, Cai Wenxuan walked in, looked at the three delicate "men" in the room, held his stomach and smiled for a while before saying, "Cousin, shall we go?" ”

He Xuan nodded, and several people followed Cai Wenxuan and walked in the direction of leaving the palace.

The guards guarding the door checked the people who came and went according to the rules, and He Xuan took out a token from his cuff, and the guard was immediately dumbfounded.

He hurriedly bowed and said, "Second princess, are you going out of the palace?" ”

"Hmm." He Xuan didn't look at the guard directly, he put on a princess shelf, and snorted from his nose.

In fact, He Xuan was afraid that the guard would find out that she was weak and block her way.

The guard was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask anything, and only watched the group of people go away respectfully.

As soon as she walked out of the palace gate, Qing'er patted her chest and said, "I scared the slave to death just now, but fortunately, the guard didn't ask much when he saw the exit token." ”

"Okay, okay, isn't it already out, look at your useless appearance." He Xuan said angrily, and then immediately instructed Qing'er and Ruolan to say: "You two remember, outside the palace, call me Gongzi." Also, don't forget that you are now dressed as a woman, and you have to behave and act like an attendant. ”

"No." The two little palace maids replied immediately.

Since the last time she heard her cousin talk about Yan Xiaoliu, she wanted to go out of the palace to take a look at the location of the store, and by the way, she also investigated Yan Xiaoliu again.

Recently, I heard a letter from my cousin saying that Yan Xiaoliu had successfully taken down the store, and He Xuan couldn't wait to find this opportunity to go out of the palace with his cousin.

It will take a while to get from the gate of the Imperial Palace to the nearest Suzaku Street. Therefore, Cai Wenxuan ordered the coachman to wait outside the palace early, and several people sat in the carriage, looking at each other's outfits, and laughing again.

"Young Master, slow down." Yan Xiaoliu had been waiting outside the store for a long time, and when he saw Cai Wenxuan's carriage stop, he immediately stepped forward to help Cai Wenxuan get out of the car, but he looked like a loyal servant.

Yan Xiaoliu has been rewarded by Yan Jin to Cai Wenxuan, and since the slave of the Yan Mansion has become the slave of the Cai Mansion, he naturally wants to be called the eldest young master of Cai Wenxuan.

Cai Wenxuan stood firm, and when he saw that Yan Xiaoliu was about to reach out to help He Xuan get off the carriage, he stopped Yan Xiaoliu, stepped forward himself, and intimately helped He Xuan get out of the car.

Not only that, when Qing'er and Ruolan got out of the car, Cai Wenxuan also gracefully helped the two slaves.

Yan Xiaoliu watched from the side, this young master Cai of the Prime Minister's Mansion actually wanted to help the two attendants beside this handsome son, and the identity of this son must be unspeakably expensive. Thinking of this, he felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead.

He Xuan heard his cousin Cai Wenxuan briefly describe this shop, and now he came to see it in person, the white walls and green tiles, two big red lanterns hung on both sides of the plaque, and the dark plaque was covered with a red cloth.

Walking into the store, there are neatly arranged ash tables, each with four thick cushions that look comfortable and simple, and mats woven from grass on the floor.

Although it is not as magnificent as Yuefu Building, it is also simple and generous.

"Eldest young master, this son, how do you two see this shop being cleaned up?" Yan Xiaoliu's face was nervous, and he looked at the unidentified rich and noble son.

While walking in the store, He Xuan looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yan Zhangshi is really qualified, it's only been a few days, and it's been in good order here, it's really good." ”

Yan Xiaoliu's hanging heart finally sank, and he said with a smile on his face: "The son has praised him, the villain is not talented, and he will only be a shopkeeper." ”

"It's just..." He Xuan raised his head and stared at Yan Xiaoliu's face.
