Li Xiujing came out of Ling's house, and wanted to go back and talk to Ling Chuyu, but who knew that the people from the Ministry of Rites and the people from Dali Temple came directly to him to discuss the matter of the Longevity Festival.

He is the prince, these are unshirkable responsibilities, and this time not only has to manage the affairs of the Longevity Festival, but also needs to pay attention to the movements of the harem and the previous dynasty at all times, which need to be deployed by him personally.

This rush came to the eve of the Birthday Festival in a blink of an eye, and during this period, Li Xiujing didn't have time to come to Ling Chuyu, and Ling Chuyu didn't mention Li Xiujing.

Every day, An An passed the time in his own small courtyard, and then went to the palace to ask for peace, and the emperor authorized her to return to Daoping Nunnery after the Longevity Festival.

The days were like flowing water, and Ling Chuyu didn't show anything abnormal, but Zhuxi and Xi'er felt that their young lady was very wrong.

It's like a wilted flower, and it can't do anything.

The two maids didn't know what was going on in the imperial garden that day, and Ling Chuyu didn't say anything.

However, they guessed that there must be something wrong with Li Xiujing, Zhuxi ran to the Zhongyi Palace, but they all returned in vain, and they didn't even touch Li Xiujing's shadow.

When she came back, she sighed for a long time, and complained with Xi'er, "You said that my senior brother is busy all day and night, and he is either in the Ministry of Rites or in the embassy, so King Cheng can still take the time to accompany the second miss back, why can't my senior brother come over to see Miss." ”

Zhuxi said as he looked at Ling Chuyu's reaction, seeing her unhappy look at her good deeds, and looked at each other, they all felt bad!

Xi'er rolled her eyes, looked at Zhuxi a little strangely and said, "Has your senior brother changed his mind! I heard that the Tatar princess he greeted with the young lady is very beautiful, is there a situation?"

When Zhuxi heard this, he hurriedly covered Xi'er's mouth, "My sister, don't you don't open any pot and mention which pot!"

"Well, why don't you let me say it, spread it. ”

"Don't sprinkle, who let you talk nonsense!"

"Hmm!"

The two maids were playing and fighting, Ling Chuyu put down her ears and looked at the flowers in the yard thoughtfully.

It turns out that he is busy, not that he doesn't come to see me!

*

On this day, it was the day to ask for peace again, Ling Chuyu packed up early in the morning and entered the palace with Xi'er, and Zhuxi didn't know where to run.

Unexpectedly, at the gate of the Queen Mother's bedroom, I bumped into someone I hadn't seen in the past few days.

Li Xiujing had already finished asking An to go out, and Ling Chuyu had just arrived, looking at each other, and the two of them were stunned.

It was Ling Chuyu who reacted first, and saluted Li Xiujing, "I've seen the prince!"

Li Xiujing looked at the girl who was respectfully saluting, his mouth was a little bitter, he shook his hand, but he couldn't help but help her, and only said with a cold face, "Get up!" and left without looking back.

Ling Chuyu straightened up, and the two of them passed by.

After entering the dormitory, the Queen Mother had already finished breakfast, and when she saw Ling Chuyu coming in, she was very happy, and took her hand and said, "I came just in time today, I just saw Jing'er?"

Ling Chuyu couldn't figure out what the Queen Mother meant for a while, so she could only nod, "I just met King Zhongyi at the door." ”

The Queen Mother didn't pay attention to Ling Chuyu's expression, and asked the housekeeper to bring a stack of portraits, handed it to Ling Chuyu and said: "It was the mourning family who let him enter the palace, this kid, there is no one to care about in the house, I heard that he has been busy for more than ten days, and he didn't even return home, so the mourning family thought about picking a caring person for him to take care of the backyard for him, and the mourning family can rest assured, and he can also do errands with peace of mind." ”

Ling Chuyu looked at the stack of portraits that were stuffed into his hand, all of them were very good-looking little girls, and the top one had crooked eyebrows and eyes, delicate and cute.

At this time, Ling Chuyu felt the feeling of Li Xiujing just now, and the bitterness in his mouth spread all the way to his heart.

He, is he going to choose a concubine?

The Queen Mother didn't notice Ling Chuyu's strange appearance, and pointed to the portrait at the top and said: "Jing'er, that child, the original Concubine Xu in the house is a gentle and kind person, but he doesn't like it, so the mourning family will let people find some lively and cute, maybe it's right for him!"

Ling Chuyu looked at this girl's appearance, she seemed to be lively.

The Queen Mother was very interested, and she kept pulling Ling Chuyu to study which girl was good-looking.

These girls' family backgrounds are not very prominent, but their temperaments are excellent, and at first glance, the Queen Mother has worked hard, and the candidate she is looking for will not cause trouble to Li Xiujing, nor will she hold him back.

Ling Chuyu felt better for Li Xiujing in his heart, at least someone still hurt him.

After lunch in the palace, the Queen Mother released her.

Out of the palace, Ling Chuyu originally planned to go to the restaurant he frequented to eat steamed fish, but because of the stack of portraits, Ling Chuyu had no appetite at all, crooked in the car, and told the coachman to go home directly.

Xi'er put a small quilt on Ling Chuyu's body, looked at Ling Chuyu's expression, and said tentatively: "Miss, if the Queen Mother really decrees marriage, what will you do?"

Ling Chuyu drooped his eyes, not wanting to think about this question, and replied sullenly: "What should I do?"

At the same time, Li Xiujing waited in the restaurant for a morning, and he didn't see Ling Chuyu coming, and only after noon did he see the Ling family's carriage slowly walking back from the palace, passing by the restaurant, and didn't even stop.

Li Xiujing's expression was a little bad, and he looked at Fifteen, "Didn't you say that Zhuxi said that she was going to eat fish?"

He's ordered all the fish, and no one is coming!

Fifteen fixed Li Xiujing's death-like eyes and said, "Miss Xu is Ling has eaten in the palace, and she can't eat anymore!"

Li Xiujing's thin lips pursed, he knew that it was not so simple.

Ling Chuyu couldn't eat enough every time she ate in the palace, and she had to eat another meal when she came out, but today she went back to the house directly!

Thinking of this, he confessed fifteen, "Go and wrap up a portion of the steamed fish and follow me to Ling's house." ”

Fifteen paused, looking at Li Xiujing, "Master, in a special period, there are many people, it's not good to go like this!"

Li Xiujing only felt that his mouth was more bitter, and he said sullenly: "Then go again at night, let them make another one at night!"

*

It was just getting dark, and Xi'er put dinner on the table, "Miss, let's have some food! You haven't eaten much in the palace at noon, you should be hungry now!"

Ling Chuyu looked at the dishes on the table, she had no appetite at all, her mind was now full of the stack of portraits in the Queen Mother's hand, and her heart was so panicked that she couldn't eat a bite.

Xi'er still wanted to persuade, but was stopped by Zhuxi, she looked up and saw a tall figure standing there at the door.

And Ling Chuyu lowered her head at this time, she couldn't get over the rice in the same bowl, and she didn't notice that the two girls around her were quiet!
