Everyone looked towards the sound and saw that Xu Qingyang, who had been silent, actually joined in.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Qingyang smiled slightly, looked at the palace maid next to him,

"In the deep palace, in the princess's palace, there is a queen outside, but the girl does not shy away from it, first provokes the noblewoman, and then reprimands the slave maid, of course she is very courageous."

A few words instantly woke up Changxin.

"What are you doing, you don't get up quickly."

Everyone made fun of it, and Chang Xin's face turned red and white, white and red.

Xu Qingyang felt the gaze coming from the opposite side, looked up, and found that Xiao Lanxin was looking at him. Xu Qingyang responded with a smile, and Xiao Lanxin nodded slightly in court.

The silent exchange between the two fell in Yue Jinxiu's eyes, and after thinking about it carefully, Yue Jinxiu understood the reason.

There was silence for a while, and everyone had almost eaten, and the female official came over, "Ladies and gentlemen, the queen has returned to the palace first." The princess invited the girls to take a stroll around the garden and wait for the end of the previous dynasty's entertainment before leaving. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The palace ladies withdrew the banquet, and everyone went to the side to enjoy the flowers. Chang Xin felt that he couldn't stay any longer, so he left here. Yue Jinxiu received a report from the maid and wanted to leave first.

"Qingqing, my mother drank some wine and felt a little unwell, so I left first."

"Okay, let's make an appointment another day."

Seeing that there was no one around Xu Qingyang, Xiao Lanxin came over to thank him,

"Xiao Lanxin, thank you girl for speaking up just now."

"Sister doesn't have to be polite, Uncle Xiao is my brother's teacher, and he is good friends with my father, so I should have known my sister a long time ago."

"Yes, it's just that I'm not sociable by nature, and if it weren't for the emperor's order, I wouldn't have come to such a banquet."

Xu Qingyang stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Lanxin's hand, "Sister, don't worry too much, there are not many opportunities for our women to go out of the house, if you have it, just come out and play." There are many new and interesting things in this world, don't put yourself in a cage because of the rude words of some irrelevant people. ”

Looking at Xu Qingyang's sincere eyes, Xiao Lanxin nodded,

"Thank you sister for enlightening me."

"There is only one woman in my family, if my sister feels bored in the house, why don't you come to my house as a guest?"

Xiao Lanxin didn't know what to say for a while, and wanted to refuse, but Xu Qingyang had just helped herself, and if she agreed, it was really not what she wanted.

Seeing that the other party was a little embarrassed, Xu Qingyang was not reluctant, "I'll invite my sister another day, and if my sister is willing to come and sit, she will agree." ”

Xiao Lanxin nodded. A person walked beside the two, "Miss Xu, the princess is invited." ”

"Sister, go, don't let Her Royal Highness the princess wait."

After the two said goodbye, Xu Qingyang followed behind the female officer and met Xiao Yuhua.

"You stay here, I want to talk to Miss Xu for a while, don't let people in."

"Yes."

Xu Qingyang followed behind Xiao Yuhua and entered the inner hall, and Xiao Yuhua hugged the villain behind him.

"Little girl, have you been seduced by the two new pretty men in your house, and you haven't come to see me for months."

Xu Qingyang was almost out of breath when he was hugged,

"Sister Princess, if you strangle me to death, you won't see me again."

Xiao Yuhua let go of his hand and saw that Xu Qingyang's face was red,

"I just want you to have some memory, and you don't know that on April 17 next year, I will leave the country."

Speaking of this, Xu Qingyang felt depressed in his heart. Although Xiao Ding had never seen Xu Qingyang, because of the Xu family, he would let Xu Qingyang enter the palace to accompany Xiao Yuhua. At first, it was the emperor's grace, and later it was Xiao Yuhua's request.

"Can't you not go?"

Looking at Xu Qingyang's wrinkled face, Xiao Yuhua felt a little funny, and pulled her to sit on his bed,

"You are also a noble girl, so you should naturally know that we women have no say in many things. But you are not only my daughter, but also your father's only daughter. He is certainly not willing to use you as a bargaining chip to consolidate his power.

Your Xu family is a big family, how many people want this position of Chenglong fast son-in-law, but your father loves you so much, maybe he will recruit you a son-in-law. ”

Xu Qingyang listened to Xiao Yuhua's words, and saw that she was not a little sad, but was still in the mood to make fun of herself.

"Your princess sister, you, you are really annoying. Aren't you sad at all? ”

Xiao Yuhua lay on the bed, looked at the roof, and said lightly,

"I knew my fate when I was seven years old, and I could imagine the pain of marrying far away. At that time, I was reluctant in my heart, and I also used my favor to beg. But they all told me because I was a princess. ”

Xiao Yuhua's tone was a little more resigned,

"When I was nine years old, there was a great drought, and many refugees came to Jiankang, and my mother asked me to follow the prince's brother to see it, and I saw a scene that I can't forget in my life."

Xu Qingyang was four years old that year, and I vaguely remember that she also followed her mother Zhang Zhao to give porridge. The originally wide road was surrounded by water, and people crowded her, which frightened her.

"I was born in this golden palace, and I don't know the suffering of all beings, nor do I know that the country is difficult to defend. So then I silently accepted that there was nothing wrong with going to the border to get married, just to help my father watch every move at the border. And ah, my mother was a thousand years old last year, and I saw the son of the prince, and he looked pretty good, but he must not be comparable to your third brother. ”

Xu Qingyang turned his head to look at Xiao Yuhua and said all this, and that indifferent attitude made her feel distressed and admired.

"Now the palace must be preparing for the marriage of the princess's sister, and Qingqing also wants to give her sister a copy."

Xiao Yuhua was interested, sat up,

"Oh? What does Qingqing plan to send? By the way, I can open your gift this year and look at it, the tea is good, but the painting is too sloppy, and it is not well prepared at a glance. ”

Xu Qingyang blushed when he was said, "I've been thinking about my eldest brother, so I haven't prepared well." When you get married, I'll be well prepared. ”

"Gee, I don't blame you. I'm married, you can give me an embroidery. At that time, I will have people make a screen that can be seen every day. ”

"Okay."

Looking at Xu Qingyang, Xiao Yuhua suddenly said with a serious face,

"Qingqing, I sometimes wish you were my own sister. But when I think of myself, I think you still don't want to be a princess. If I can marry a certain noble son in Jiankang City, then it is best for you to be the crown princess. ”

Xu Qingyang didn't want the two to be sisters, "We are like this now, except that you are going to marry far away, everything else is fine." ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Lord Xu is waiting for Miss Xu outside the palace gate."

The palace maid's words interrupted the two, Xiao Yuhua got up, with a reluctant face,

"You're leaving, I'll send someone to take you out."

"No need, I've already made a note of how to go this way."

"Okay, then I won't send you."

"The courtiers retired."

The two girls separated, and on the way out of the palace, Xu Qingyang was thinking about embroidery.

When he arrived at the palace gate, Xu Jian called back Xu Qingyang's thoughts.

"Qingqing,"

"Big brother!" Xu Qingyang thought at first that he had heard it wrong, but when he saw Xu Jian really appear in front of him, he was surprised and delighted.

Xu Qingyang didn't care about decency, so he lifted his skirt and ran over,

"Didn't you say that it would take two more days, why did the eldest brother come back early?"

Xu Jian gave Xu Qingyang a haircut,

"It happened to be the princess's birthday, and His Majesty decreed that I should come back early to celebrate together. The handover of Hexing Town was also over early, and he came back early. ”

Xu Qingyang looked around and asked, "Didn't you say that your father was here, why didn't you see him?" ”

Father drank some and asked Zitong beside him to send him away first. Let's go, I'll ride with you in a car. ”

"Okay."

Along the way, Xu Jian listened to Xu Qingyang share in the harem, and when he heard her speak up for righteousness, he opened his mouth and praised her.

"It is worthy of being a child of my Xu family, who dares to fight grievances, this is the literati style said in the family motto."

"My brother is overrated."

"By the way, do you have any ideas for the embroidery that you promised Her Royal Highness?"

Xu Qingyang shook his head, "The embroidery that Sister Princess saw was all in the style of the palace, gorgeous and beautiful. My embroidery is still a bit clumsy, and I'm afraid that the princess sister won't like it. ”

"It's okay," Xu Jian comforted softly, "Since the princess wants you to send embroidery, it's just for the word friendship." In this case, Qingqing only needs to do it with his heart. ”

Xu Qingyang nodded, and Xu Jian said again,

"In my early years, I found Chen'an to be very good at painting. Later, I privately hired a painter for him, and he wrote me a letter half a year ago with a picture he had made. If you need it, you can ask Chen An to compose it for you. ”

Xu Qingyang thought for a moment after hearing this, "The eldest brother invited a painter for Chen'an, why haven't I heard of this." And for so many years, I didn't even know that Chen An could paint. ”

Xu Jian smiled, "That's because you don't understand him." Chen An has suffered since he was a child, and he has never experienced a trace of human warmth, and he only felt the taste of friendship when he came to Xu Mansion. So he cherished his time in Xu Mansion and lived carefully. is obviously talented, but he has to be clumsy. ”

"I often hear people say that sending people under the fence doesn't happen to you, and you never know what it's like. Big brother, what are your plans for the future? ”

"He has a lot of ability, and I plan to find an opportunity to make him a Da Zhou person, serve in Da Zhou, and give him a place to live."

Xu Qingyang nodded, "That's fine, I heard my grandfather reveal that it seems that the Wen family doesn't care about Chen'an, and after so many years, I haven't seen a letter from them." ”

"Yes, so for Chen An, the Xu family is his only place to live."

"Son, girl, we have arrived."

When the two got out of the car, they saw Xu Qian, Xu Su, Wen Chenan and Lu Shixian greeting them at the door.

"Big brother!"

Xu Jian looked at his younger brothers and unconsciously smiled,

"It's all here, my father is back?"

Xu Qian stepped forward and replied, "I'm back, and the second brother also sent someone to talk back and have dinner together at night." Big brother and Qingqing go back to rest first, they must be tired today. ”

Several people talked and laughed and went back to the house, Xu Qingyang deliberately walked slower, side by side with Wen Chen'an, Lu Shixian noticed that he quietly looked at the two of them, and felt that it was not good, so he could only continue to walk forward.

"What's wrong Qingqing, what's wrong?"
