Tao Lian pursed her mouth, "I've been here for a long time, and I've been waiting for you outside for a long time, but you're sleeping in the house." ”

"Been here for a long time?" Tao Yao looked at her in surprise, and then at Xi'er.

"Fifth Miss has indeed been here for a long time, but the slave maid didn't dare to wake you up when she saw that you were probably sleeping as well as you normally did." Xi'er quickly explained.

When Tao Yao heard this, her face was hot, and she knew that Xi'er knew that she was brewing with Lu Jiuyuan in the sauce sauce in the house just now, so she blocked Tao Lian.

Thinking that Tao Lian had waited for her for so long, she felt weak and guilty.

Just when she didn't know what to say, Tao Lian suddenly said "Huh" in surprise, "Fourth sister, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, reacted, and hurriedly put his hands behind his back, "No, nothing." ”

I was very embarrassed, it was her dirty pants, she just got dirty, she went to the clean room to scrub, she originally wanted to take it to the sun, but she didn't expect to be bumped into by Tao Lian.

Fortunately, Tao Lian didn't ask anything more, and when she beckoned her to sit down for tea, Xi'er had already cleverly walked behind her and took her dirty pants to dry.

Tao Yao sat down next to Tao Lian, and was about to ask her, but she asked, "Fourth sister, are you very hot, your sideburns are wet, and your face is so red." ”

"It's hot, aren't you hot?" Tao Yao said with a dry smile.

"It's not going to be hot if you stay in the house." Tao said pitifully.

Tao Yao was afraid that she would ask any more embarrassing questions, so this time she took the lead in asking, "By the way, why are you free to come over today?" ”

When Tao Lian heard this, he remembered it, and hurriedly handed over the box he was holding in his arms, and then whispered: "This is what Wan Run entrusted me to give you." ”

"Wanrun?" Tao Yao took it in surprise, and when he opened it and saw that it was full of gold and silver, he was immediately puzzled.

"That's her." Tao Lian nodded, and repeated Wanrun's words to Tao Yao.

After Tao Yao heard this, he kept this incident in his heart, put the box away, and then asked Tao Lian, "Have you entered the palace today?" ”

"Hmm." Tao Lian nodded.

Tao Yao took the water brought by Dong'er, took a sip, and asked casually, "What are you doing in the palace?" ”

Tao Lian glanced at her and whispered, "I'm going to attend the lotus banquet in the palace." ”

Tao Yao paused, "Lotus feast? ”

Tao Lian's eyes blinked, "Hmm." ”

Tao Yao had already thought of something at this time, and gasped, "The prince's concubine selection banquet?" ”

Lu Jiuyuan had already told her about this matter two days ago.

The crown prince has long reached the age of choosing a concubine, but the emperor has a subtle attitude towards him before, and he has not issued an order to choose a concubine for him.

After the emperor woke up from poisoning this time, his attitude towards the prince changed a lot, and he seemed to have become more important to the prince.

invited a concubine for him, and Zhang Luo chose a concubine for him.

It's just that she didn't expect that Tao Lian would also enter the palace to participate in the concubine selection banquet.

"Yes." Tao Lian nodded, and said with some embarrassment, "Fourth sister, the crown prince...... chose me to be the crown princess. ”

Tao Yao heard this, and was choked by the water he had just drunk into his mouth, "cough cough cough ......"

Tao Lian was startled, and hurriedly got up to give her a smooth back, "Fourth sister, why are you so careless when you drink water?" ”

Tao Yao finally calmed down, and looked at this sister with complicated eyes, "You didn't look for me to be happy, did you?" ”

Tao frowned, "Do I look like such a boring person?" ”

Seeing this, Tao Yao accepted the news she said.

Because no matter how playful she is, she won't use this matter to make her happy.

It seems that this is true.

It's just that she never expected that the prince would choose mercy to be the crown princess.

She really didn't know whether she was happy or worried.

"Tell me about everything that happened in the palace today." Tao Yao said.

Tao Lian didn't hide it, and said 1510.

When she heard that she was almost wronged as the murderer who pushed Xu Ying, Tao Yao pinched a cold sweat for her.

But fortunately, Tao Lian didn't have much to do.

But judging from the situation, the prince also has a good impression of mercy, otherwise he would not be the only one among so many noble ladies to be the crown princess.

"Pity, what do you think of the prince?" Tao Lian asked.

Tao Lian tilted his head and thought for a while, and said pertinently: "People are not bad. ”

"That's it?" Tao Yao asked with a smile.

Tao Lian thought for a while, and then said, "Well, people are also good-looking. ”

Hearing this, Tao Yao teased: "The main thing is that people are good-looking, right?" ”

Tao Lian was not embarrassed, "The prince is really good-looking." ”

Tao Yao looked at her funny, "Then are you very satisfied with this marriage?" ”

When Tao Lian heard this, her eyebrows frowned slightly, "I can't say that, I didn't plan to marry anyone, but if I want to choose someone to marry, I might as well marry the prince." ”

She agreed with what the prince said to her, rather than marrying a stranger, it was better to marry the two of them.

Of course, the most important thing is that the prince is good-looking.

She likes to be good-looking.

The prince is somewhat like the hero in the books she reads.

Thinking of this, she felt a little excited and happy in her heart.

Tao Yao paused, and wanted to say that marrying into the royal family would lose a lot of freedom in the future, but the emperor had already issued an order, and this matter could not be changed, so he dispelled his mind.

Since the marriage is already a foregone conclusion, why does she bother to say anything more and make Tao Lian sad?

She sighed inwardly, shook her hand and said, "I'm here to congratulate you first." ”

Tao Lian blinked her eyes and suddenly said, "Fourth sister, are you free?" ”

"What's wrong?" Tao Yao asked.

Tao Lian hugged her arm and shook it gently, "If the fourth sister is free, can you make something delicious for me to eat?" ”

Tao Yao then understood, angry and funny, "It turned out to be greedy." ”

"Okay, Fourth Sister? It's rare for me to come here to find you, so you can satisfy my appetite for once. "Tao is coquettish.

Tao Yao couldn't stand her pestering, so she had to agree, "Okay, I'll make you something to eat in a while." ”

"The fourth sister is the best." Tao Lian cheered with joy.

When Tao Yao saw her like this, she was a little anxious for her.

This girl, with such a temperament, will marry into the royal family in the future, what should she do?

I just hope that the prince can be kind to mercy.

But when she thought of the amorous emperor, she was a little unsure.

Even though the crown prince did not inherit the emperor's style, in the future, the prince will be the emperor, and when the time comes, there will be three palaces and six courts......

It's a headache to think about.

After that, Tao Yao made French fries and fried chicken thighs for Tao Lian.

For Tao Lian, who has never eaten this kind of food, he feels that it is not only novel, but also too delicious.

The two of them were sitting in the gazebo, enjoying the cool and eating at the same time, when suddenly, a babbling voice sounded outside the door, "Aunt Jiu, what did you make delicious?" I smelled it from afar. ”
