Qinghe looked left and right, making sure that no one cared about her, and then said with a staring face, "You go and tell your young lady, the third young lady has something to discuss with her, and let her leave the table quickly to go to Loulan Pavilion." ”

Hearing that it was Duan Rufang who was looking for it, Cao Zhi's spirit came immediately, and he immediately nodded, "The slave knows, the slave will go now." ”

"Don't panic, just pretend nothing happened. Qinghe glanced at her a few times and motioned her to ease her mood, Cao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around and went to the banquet, Qing He hid in the dark and watched, until Duan Xuan smiled and said goodbye to those young ladies, and as Cao Zhi left, he showed his figure and followed away.

Duan Xuan took the most hidden road to Duan Rufang's Loulan Pavilion, Cao Zhi and Qinghe were guarding the door, Duan Xuan went into the house alone to find Duan Rufang, Duan Rufang was sitting in front of the mirror at that time, and when she saw her coming, she got up slowly, "Sit down, let's make a long story short." ”

"What happened?" Duan Xuan sat down at the table, stared at Duan Rubian and asked, "Could it be about the emperor?"

"There is part of the reason for him. Duan Rubian said, "Are you really ready to enter the palace?"

"Of course. Duan Xuan replied very quickly, as if she had practiced decisiveness many times, "In the current situation, it is the best choice for me to enter the palace." ”

Duan Rubian licked his lips and said, "Then you have also discovered the hostility of the queen and Yue Zhaoyi towards you, entering the palace is not a troublesome matter, of course it is not simple, now the two major figures in the palace are full of hostility towards you, especially Murong Tuo, I transferred the guards to you, and I was also worried that she would harm you, so ......"

"So I can't wait for the draft. Duan Xuan muttered, "Do you mean that?"

Duan Rubian nodded, "At this time, only the emperor can protect you, no matter what you say in the palace, it is safer than the general's mansion, and those people in Murong Tuo do not dare to make trouble in the palace." ”

"But how do I enter the palace?" Duan Xuan frowned, "He likes me very much now, but he is the emperor, no woman has ever seen me, if he brings me into the palace at will, the people of the previous dynasty will definitely not let him, and it will make him nerve-wracking." ”

"He's just waiting for the draft to select you to enter the palace, you're right, he really doesn't lack beauties, but if this beauty can't wait for the day of the draft, what happened before, he can't care about anything else. The last time you were beaten, you can see that he is not kind to you, if he knows that you are in danger, he will not stand idly by, and at the worst, he will transfer some secret guards to you. Duan Rubian rarely has such excitement, she is not only for Duan Xuan, but also for her to make some preparations for entering the palace in the future, after all, Xiao Yuqing's ascension to the throne, she still has to cut off, and there is no way to do it in the palace.

“...... What are your plans?" Duan Xuan asked bluntly, Duan Rubian didn't want to play word games with her anymore, she looked around, and put the note in her hand into Duan Xuan's hand. Duan Xuan Zhanzhan looked at it, knew it in his heart, opened the incense burner on his side and burned the note, slowly stood up from his position, and owed to Duan Rufang, "It's not early, I'll go first." ”

Duan Ru flawed his head, saw her turn away, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, Duan Xiang, Duan Xiang, since you want to be a sentient being so much, then I will fulfill you today!

Duan Ruhua came to the banquet again within half an hour, drinking and chatting with everyone, Duan Ruhua's face was obviously not very beautiful, but she could only smile hypocritically.

Duan Rubian drank tea silently, only sat in the banquet to fill the number, and didn't talk much, and the boudoir woman who came forward to talk to her saw that she didn't pay much attention to people, and she was a little squeamish, and she couldn't help but complain on the side.

"What's so proud, isn't it just a county lord? Look at her like that!"

"That's it, who does she think she is, even if she is crowned the county lord, she is not a concubine!"

"That's right! Look at the way she looks like her eyes are above the top, huh!"

“......”

The more everyone scolded, the more unpleasant it became, Duan Rubian ignored them one by one, and didn't want to worry about these pampered young ladies, just when they didn't exist, Murong Tuo couldn't find Duan Xuan in the crowd, and his temperament was a little low, and his hand holding the vegetables paused again and again.

Xiao Yu glanced at her a few times, frowned slightly, and said, "What's the matter? ”

"No need. Murong Tuo held Xiao Yu's hand and smiled gently, "The concubine has just been sitting for a long time and is a little tired, the concubine will go to the backyard first and come back immediately." ”

Xiao Yu's attention itself was not on her, and it would be easy for her to go, so she nodded in agreement.

Murong Tuo's eyes sank and turned to leave.

backyard

Duan Xiang has always been the object of everyone's ridicule since he married Qu Yang, and although so much time has passed, it has not changed. was left out in the main hall, but she was also interested, and went to the backyard to relax accompanied by red peony.

The cold wind continued at night, blowing red peony's face blue, but Duan Xiang sat in the pavilion seriously, without any discomfort, drinking tea leisurely. Hong Shao sniffed, feeling very aggrieved, and stepped forward and said, "Fourth Miss, it's not early, let's go back, it's so cold here." ”

Duan Xiang's eyes were dull, he looked in her direction, and said with a light smile, "Red Peony, you are the maid next to the eldest sister, I have no right to blame you, but, you call me Miss Four, do you know to respect me?"

"The slave didn't mean to disrespect the fourth lady. Although Red Peony said this, her face was full of disgust, "The slave is thinking about the fourth lady, the weather is cold, and the fourth lady is pregnant, if she catches a cold, no one dares to take this big sin, the fourth miss should stop a little!"

Duan Xiang narrowed her eyes, the hand holding the teacup tightened slightly, and suddenly loosened it again, her smile was still the same, she knew that now was not the time to be strong, she had to endure it.

“...... Again, let's go, it's time to go back. Duan Xiang fumbled for the wrist of the red peony and staggered towards the steps.

"What a coincidence, the fourth sister is here. There was a chuckle in front of him, Duan Xiang could faintly hear that it was Duan Xuan's voice, so he stood still and nodded, "It turned out to be the fifth sister, did the fifth sister also come out?"

"Yes, the banquet is too boring, I came out to relax, I didn't expect to meet the fourth sister so coincidentally. Duan Xuan smiled slightly and was a little vague, but Duan Xiang couldn't see it, she stood on the steps, and the hand between her sleeves rubbed gently.

"Heh, fifth sister, let's go shopping, it's not too early, I'm going back. Duan Xiang subconsciously covered his stomach, smiled slowly, walked a few steps to the side, and walked down the steps with the red peony.

Duan Xuan turned sideways and watched Duan Xiang walk in front of him, his eyes drooping slightly.

She walked against Duan Xiang and walked up to the pavilion, but she heard a muffled sound behind her, and Hong Shao exclaimed, "Fourth Miss!"

A hint of coolness and poison flashed between her lowered eyes, and she slowly turned around.

Not far away, Murong Tuo was looking this way, looking at Duan Xuan.

The evening breeze is slightly cool, and the trivial matters are endless.
