Chapter 12: Liu Xuan

The frost fell, and the palace still held a routine chrysanthemum viewing party. It is said that it is a chrysanthemum appreciation meeting, but in fact, in addition to flower appreciation, it is more of a grace given by the heavenly family, which is intended to find an opportunity for adult princes and grandchildren, princesses and daughters who have been out of the cabinet, and even other clan relatives and relatives can enter the palace to meet their loved ones. This is really rare for the unpowerful concubines and their dependents. However, Concubine Xiao has always maintained her favor, and the grace of this chrysanthemum appreciation will be ordinary in the eyes of the Xiao family brothers and sisters.

Xiao Huan came here from the side courtyard early in the morning, wanting to enter the palace with Xiao Qiyun and others. He wore a silver rat fur cloak on his body, and ran in through the small door next to the hall with a loud bang, and touched Rong Yuezheng with a porcelain cup. The porcelain cup fell to the ground and shattered, the juice inside splashed, and Xiao Huan's cloak was stained in a large area.

"The prince forgives sins." Rong Yue immediately knelt down, looking extremely flustered. She was probably frightened, trembling and reaching out to touch the stains on the corner of Xiao Huan's clothes, but then she felt that it seemed inappropriate, and froze there.

"I didn't say anything, are you scared like this?" Xiao Huan was inexplicable, reflecting at the moment, whether his makeup was too serious today, so that the big girl next to his sister was shocked to this point, looked down, and muttered: "No, I don't have anything special except that I am dressed a little like a big bear." ”

Rongyue was still kneeling, and a few maids had already gathered to clean up the mess on the ground.

Xiao Qiyun listened to the movement, came out of the house, and said with a smile: "Get up, it's not a big deal." Then, he turned back to a maid and took Xiao Huan to change his cloak.

Xiao Huan entered the wing room of the inner courtyard and took off his cloak. The maid stepped forward and said with a smile: "The slave and maid will go and get a new one for the prince, and this one will be picked up and disposed of by the slave and maid." So saying, he stepped forward and took the cloak away.

Xiao Huan made a color to Mu Qi who was following him, and said with a smile: "It's not, I just pretended to be a big bear for a while, and even asked people to peel off the bear skin." ”

Mu Qi understood, stepped forward and reached out to take the cloak and said, "Trouble this sister, the villain will help my sister get it." As he spoke, he secretly tore off the corner of his dyed clothes a piece of cloth the size of a palm.

Xiao Huan was still joking at the maid: "You have to get a better one for this son, it doesn't hurt to pretend to be a big bear or a big tiger, but you can't lose your hair." ”

The maid smiled slightly red and withdrew.

"Where are there any bears or tigers?" Xiao Yin smiled and walked in from the outside.

"This big red feather satin cloak is delicate and beautiful, and it matches my sister," Xiao Huan smiled, "Have you been to see my sister?" ”

"I've seen it, and I've listened to it for a long time, as if I was a child. If she doesn't enter the palace together, she must be worried. ”

"Isn't my sister going to the palace today?" Xiao Huan was a little stunned, as usual, this year's chrysanthemum appreciation party, as well as the palace banquet in the evening, there is no reason for the crown princess to be absent.

"It stands to reason that I have to go, but my sister is not very good, and His Royal Highness just sent a doctor to come and see it!" Xiao Yin also felt that her sister was suddenly and strangely ill this time, but the people in the hospital had seen it, and it seemed that there would be no problems.

While speaking, Lu Dingfu came in and replied, meaning that the carriages and horses were ready, please Xiao Wan and Xiao Yin go out.

Sure enough, it was the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even though Liu Ke acted restrained and cautious, the pattern was still good. There were three carriages parked in front of the Yimen, all of which were covered in dark satin, and they looked similar, except that the head one was decorated with bright yellow tassels on its four corners.

The people of the Inner Prison Palace followed behind, but there were not many black-armored guards. Xiao Yin looked up and saw Deng Yao, who was sitting on a tall horse.

Liu Ke still stayed in Wei Liangdi's Pavilion on the first day. Not long after Xiao Yin arrived outside the Yimen, he saw Liu Ke coming out, but there was no scene of crowding as Xiao Yin had imagined, and there were only three or five servants behind him.

A woman with phoenix eyes and eyebrows is dressed very brilliantly, and the person lined with her is like a fairy concubine. She followed Liu Ke closely, listened to Liu Ke turn her head and say something, nodded in agreement, and then pulled a boy who looked no more than five or six years old next to her and got into the second carriage. Before getting into the car, he raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yin. Her eyes were quite meaningful, the corners of her mouth seemed to hum slightly, and she got into the carriage.

This is that Wei Liangdi. Xiao Yin went to visit this Liangdi on the day she lived in the prince's courtyard, but a little maid came out to reply, saying that Liangdi was unwell and could not meet guests. Let Xiao Yin come up and eat a soft nail.

She is the mother of the emperor's eldest grandson, and she is deeply favored by the prince, at least, in the days when Xiao Yin lived in the other courtyard, Liu Ke seemed to stay in Wei Liangdi's pavilion every day. In this way, Xiao Yin is very embarrassed by his sister's situation.

"Don't look at it, this Wei family is the daughter of Dingguo Gong, this Wei family started with military exploits, and now he is still in charge of the Gyeonggi patrol battalion. This Liangdi may also be a powerful character with a bit of kung fu, and you can't afford to mess with your little girl. Xiao Huan said as he swayed and got into the carriage.

Xiao Yin glared at his brother, and he didn't know when it started, his brother was really heartless, he really looked like the grandson of those princes and grandsons from the rich township.

After Lu Dingfu waited for Liu Ke to get into the carriage, he walked to the back and replied to Xiao Wan Xiaoyin, saying, "The master has to go to Li Niangniang's palace to ask for peace first." The banquet, the drama and the drama will be in the afternoon, so why don't the prince and Weng go to the West Garden to watch their riding and archery drills first? ”

"It's a pity that I didn't wear a riding costume today, so I can only watch it," Xiao Huan smiled, "It's okay." ”

Xiao Huan's sentence of "okay" really didn't bring any good situation.

When the two entered the West Garden, they saw a familiar figure riding a maroon horse galloping on the running field. It's none other than Princess Yixuan.

Liu Yan walked past the chrysanthemum path where the two were standing, just squinted at it, and then walked quickly, went straight to the archery range, bent the bow and pulled the string, and hit the bull's-eye with a "snap" sound.

The surrounding guards and servants applauded.

Xiao Huan had a surprised expression on his face, and the attendants on both sides couldn't help but laugh secretly.

"It's really good-looking, heroic," Xiao Yin was amazed, but also felt funny by his brother's reaction, "It's a pity, people are our opponents." ”

An internal supervisor reported that he had already cleaned up the small pavilion in the corner of the West Garden, and invited the brother and sister to go over and rest.

Since meeting Liu Yan that day, Xiao Yin didn't like her. But today, somehow, I feel from the bottom of my heart that the woman who is running on the horse farm is actually very bright and moving, and her every move is hearty and happy.

Such a wanton and free woman should always have a bright heart. So why did she target Shaw so much? She is the younger sister of the crown prince and the only daughter of Concubine Li Xian. What she hates, is it her aunt, or her sister, or both? Xiao Yin couldn't find an answer for a while.

"Phewβ€”" Liu Yan walked over. Two palace people had already stepped forward to pull the horse. She jumped down and walked into the pergola outside the pavilion to rest, neither entering the pavilion nor obviously not preparing to deal with the Xiao brothers and sisters.

"Our sister really has a personality, this pavilion that serves good tea and good fruit plates is not staying, but standing in the pergola to blow the wind." This was followed by a hearty laugh.
