Xuanguo Imperial Palace, Ten Thousand Gardens.

It is the height of summer, the purple colorful hibiscus and the thorny red dates and begonias in the garden are slightly shy in the sun, and the birds that cannot be named make a crisp call on the branches, and from time to time flock and flutter, making the garden full of intoxicating vitality.

Xuan Yuchen, who was summoned into the palace, walked on the path surrounded by herbs, looking at the vigorous state in the Wan Garden, he couldn't help but feel comfortable, and smiled heartily at Xuan Yining beside him, "I grew up in this place since I was a child, and I didn't feel how I often came when I was a child, but now I haven't seen it for the first time after a long absence, it's really nostalgic." ”

Xuan Yining walked beside Xuan Yuchen with his hands in his hand, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable anger all over his body, but it was fleeting, and when he spoke again, it was the same plain and calm as before, "If the imperial brother likes it, he will come often." ”

Xuan Yuchen felt a pain in his heart, but there was a harmless smile on his face, "After being crowned king, the imperial brother always can't change the title of the imperial brother, and now the imperial brother should be called King Sinan instead of the imperial brother." ”

Of course, Xuan Yining understands the gap in Xuan Yuchen's heart, when his father favored Yahui Guifei, that is, Xuan Yuchen's mother, better than a concubine in other harems, the first to set up Xuan Yuchen as the prince, unexpectedly, Yahui Guifei was arrested in the harem with the minister's son in private, not only was he beaten into the cold palace and given a white silk, but also the implicated Xuan Yuchen was stripped of the position of the prince, and then no matter how the officials above the court urged him to meet the upper fold, his father has never set up someone else to take over the prince's position.

Of course, this is also the reason why after the death of his father, the princes of various palaces competed to grab the dragon chair.

The position of the crown prince is like a fictitious, which is equivalent to saying that there is no successor, and the palace at that time seemed to have become a battlefield without gunsmoke, and only three of the eleven princes stood at the end, that was himself, Xuan Yuehuai and Xuan Yuchen.

In fact, many times Xuan Yining thought that if it wasn't for his father's father who was too obstinate on his own actions and did not set up a prince, presumably the person who ascended the dragon throne today may not be himself.

Feeling that the atmosphere between the two had calmed down, Xuan Yuchen reluctantly forced a smile and catered to him, "I heard that the royal brother is about to marry the queen, and I remember that Xiao Wang hasn't congratulated me yet, I don't know if it's too late to bring up the old thing again." "In the end, Xuan Yining is the king, he is a minister, even if he is a thousand unconvinced in his heart, he will eventually look at Xuan Yining's face.

Xuan Yining's light lips inevitably twitched, and he tried to ignore the woman who pinched his waist and called him by his name in his mind, but he was arrogant, "As long as you can come on the day of canonization, it will not be too late." ”

"It's nature." Xuan Yuchen smiled, seeing that it was not early, he couldn't help but want to leave the palace that he didn't want to come in, "It's not early, Xiao Wang will retire first, otherwise it will be a big sin to delay the imperial brother's dinner." Although the words were ridiculous, only he knew how red and jealous he was now and everything in Xuan Yining's hands.

"Isn't the imperial brother going to invite me to the mansion for dinner?" Xuan Yining picked his lips and Shi Ran, and no one could hear the seriousness or joke in his words.

When Xuan Yuchen heard this, he said in his heart: Since you are half serious and joke with me, I will also be half serious and half joking with you, anyway, you can't take me seriously.

"Of course, Xiao Wang wants the imperial brother to go to the mansion to sit, but the imperial brother also has to take off!"

Xuan Yining smiled on his face, "Since the imperial brother is so invited, how can I be good at the friendship of the imperial brother?" As he spoke, he suddenly turned his eyes to the Duke Gui behind him and said, "Drive the Sinan Palace." ”

"Yes, the minion obeys." Gonggong Gui had long been tacit about Xuan Yining's unreasonable playing of cards, and after receiving the will, he turned around and ordered someone to arrange the carriage.

Xuan Yuchen looked at this situation, and he couldn't react in shock for a while, he just dealt with it politely, how did it become a real thing?

Shen Shi, Sinan Wangfu.

Yu Shulan arranged Nian Yingxi, who temporarily lived in the house, in a small courtyard in the west chamber, which was originally an ancestral hall, and later Xuan Yuchen didn't know who he heard that the feng shui was not good there, and he said that he would have to rebuild the ancestral hall, and after the new ancestral hall was built, the courtyard was vacant, although it was smaller, but it was still neat because there were usually people cleaning it.

Standing behind Yu Shulan, Mama Qi, who was beating her shoulders for her, always felt that it was a little inappropriate to arrange Nian Yingxi in the courtyard of the West Chamber, and couldn't help but ask in a whispered tentatively, "Princess, how can the second lady of the family that year also be the future queen, if you bump into something unclean in our house, how can this be good?" ”

Yu Shulan snorted coldly when she heard this, "What are you afraid of?" I'm not afraid of what are you afraid of? Saying that, he took a sip of the tea in his hand, and sneered in his heart, anyway, Nian Yingxi herself said that she had seen ghosts, and it was not a big deal to live in a place with bad feng shui, and if Nian Yingxi really ran into evil in that courtyard, she would not be able to enter the palace and become the queen, so that she could still have one less thorn in her eye, even if others asked, she only said that she was a recurrence of the old disease, and no one would doubt it, after all, it is a sure fact that Nian Yingxi has gone crazy.

"Princess——! Princess ——! A little guy hurriedly ran into Yu Shulan's yard.

Yu Shulan, who was not yet hot in the room, wrinkled her eyebrows, and looked at the little guy who came in and said impatiently, "Why are you so alarmed?" Fortunately, the prince is not in the house, otherwise be careful that the board falls on you. ”

The little guy wiped the sweat from his head, thinking about the communication that just came from the door, where can he take care of Yu Shulan's blame? Hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Just now, a little father-in-law came to pass the word, saying that the emperor is coming to our house for dinner tonight, and now the carriage coming out of the palace has set off in the direction of our house!" ”

Yu Shulan was startled, dropped the teacup in her hand, got up in a panic, and tried not to mess up her pace, "You send someone to wait at the door first, and if you see the carriage, come back immediately and report it." ”

"Yes."

As soon as the little girl left, Yu Shulan turned around and said to Mama Qi, "You go and tell the kitchen to prepare the ingredients quickly, and tell the people in the kitchen to cheer me up, if there is anything wrong with the food, be careful that their heads fall to the ground." ”

"Yes, the old slave will do it." Mama Qi was so frightened that she was clever, and hurriedly ran out of the yard with the fat on her body.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Yu Shulan remembered that Nian Yingxi was still in the mansion, and thought that she must compliment Nian Yingxi in front of Emperor Xuan, so as to please everyone, she hurriedly tidied up her clothes and walked towards the small courtyard of the West Chamber.

Sinan Palace, West Chamber.

Nian Yingxi sat on the stool and looked at Qianqian's crying red eyes, and held her hand helplessly and funny, "I cry at every turn, I really don't know when your problem will change." ”

Qianqian snorted, aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law, "Even if Miss wants to stay here, you can think of a different way, why don't you feel distressed by ruining yourself like this?" Has the young lady forgotten the words "parents who suffer from the body"? ”

Her words made Nian Yingxi put away her smile, thinking about the thing she couldn't let go of in her heart, and opened her mouth thoughtfully, "Qianqian, are you ......?"

"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......" A knock on the door interrupted what Nian Yingxi had just said, Nian Yingxi rubbed her eyebrows and motioned for Qianqian to open the door, thinking: It's inconvenient to be in someone else's house, why are people staring at it, and they have to be disturbed from time to time.

Qianqian snorted and opened the door, and when she saw Yu Shulan who was going and returning outside the door, she was surprised and hurried to her body, "Princess Sinan is fine." ”

Nian Yingxi in the house didn't expect Yu Shulan to come again, and while getting up and walking towards the door, Yu Shulan stepped into the threshold first, and took Nian Yingxi's hand in a few broken steps, "Second Miss should go to my room first, I have already sent a maid to Shulan Courtyard and wait for Second Miss to come over to freshen up." ”

"Who's coming?" Nian Yingxi actually wanted to say, 'Could it be your cousin?' But she thought about it carefully and felt that it was wrong, if it was really Yu Shulan's cousin who came, why didn't Yu Shulan hurry up and think about cleaning up herself, and ran over to do her own work?

Yu Shulan was afraid that it would be too late, so she explained with a smile while pulling Nian Yingxi out of the door, "Just now, the little maid came over to spread the word, saying that the emperor was going to come to the house for dinner tonight, and now he is on the way back with the prince." ”

Xuan Yining is coming? Nian Yingxi narrowed her eyes, this guy has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, didn't he know that she was here, and rushed over to tell him what to do?

I'm convex! She was suddenly furious, Xuan Yining was really haunted, and she couldn't get rid of his clutches anywhere.

Nian Yingxi's reverie has been pulled back to Shulan Courtyard by Yu Shulan from the small courtyard on the west side, and as soon as she entered the house, she was wrapped in a group of maids, changing her clothes and combing her hair hand in hand, Nian Yingxi wanted to explode but couldn't do it, after all, now she was under Shulan's nose, if Yu Shulan was suspicious of herself because she couldn't bear it for a while, it would be troublesome.

A quarter of an hour later......

Nian Yingxi swore not to take off her veil on the grounds of wind and cold, and ended this hurried dress, and at this moment, Yu Shulan, who had just entered the back room to change her clothes, also walked out, when she saw Nian Yingxi, who was completely new and covered her face like a lady, she felt resentful in her heart, Nian Yingxi just changed her skirt and combed her hair in a decent bun, why did she look more beautiful than a fairy?

Raising her eyes to see the veil on Nian Yingxi's face, Yu Shulan couldn't help but take a few steps forward and deliberately asked in a panic, "Why didn't my sister take off the veil?" It's disrespectful to see a saint in a veil! In the past, Nian Yingxi in her eyes was always muddy and dirty, and she really hadn't seen Nian Yingxi's face seriously, but now she remembered that she had never taken off the veil on her face since Nian Yingxi was clean, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, just because Nian Yingxi had a scar on her face or was ugly, otherwise why should she always cover it with a veil?
