Shen Xiulan was slightly stunned and smiled a little crampedly.

For a while, he didn't forget to look in the direction of Su Yuyi's departure, as if he was afraid that she would bump into something.

Fortunately, Su Yuyi didn't seem to notice anything unusual behind her, and under the guidance of the maid, she walked calmly inside.

Shen Xiulan relaxed slightly, and moved closer to Yao Jinshuang, and asked in a low voice, "Princess, how did you do what you said?" ”

Yao Jinshuang glanced at her, but there was a smile on her face, "What's the hurry, I have my own arrangements, you just need to do what I say, and I will arrange everything." ”

Shen Xiulan breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and the nails that were clenched in her palms were also loosened a lot.

When the guests entered, they came to the old princess and greeted her.

The old princess usually wears a dull dress, but today she rarely wears a royal green robe embroidered with gold thread dark patterns, and the neckline is inlaid with a circle of black fox hair, which looks solemn and kind.

At this time, the old princess was sitting upright in the main hall, with a faint and sad face on weekdays, which would rarely show a little smile.

Su Yuyi walked up to the old princess, blessed her body slightly, and said with a smile: "I wish Princess Qing an immortal spring and autumn, and her longevity is better than Nanshan." ”

The old princess also smiled, and it could be seen that she seemed to be in a very good mood, "With your words, I can be happy to eat two bowls of rice today." ”

The corners of Su Yuyi's lips raised slightly, "It's my blessing to make the birthday star happy." ”

Hearing this, the old princess smiled even deeper, and there were a few more lines in the corners of her eyes, and she talked affectionately for a long time.

Just as the two were talking and laughing, Yao Jinshuang came in from the door.

Seeing this scene, the coldness in her eyes flashed, and the steps under her feet unconsciously sped up, and she unconsciously arrived in front of the two of them.

Yao Jinshuang pretended to smile at Su Yuyi calmly, "Mrs. Xie, I have something to say to the princess alone, I wonder if you can avoid it?" ”

A slight look of surprise flashed on Su Yu's face.

But Yao Jinshuang took the initiative to open this mouth, and she naturally had no reason not to agree.

Therefore, Su Yuyi smiled: "It just so happens that I am also a little tired, and I went over there to walk around, the mother and the princess chatted first, and the courtiers retired first." ”

The old princess nodded lovingly, "Go ahead." ”

Looking at Su Yuyi's departing figure, the old princess was distracted unconsciously, but the love in her eyes was undisguised.

"Auntie, what are you looking at?" Yao Jinshuang was a little unhappy in her heart, but she still lowered her voice, approached the old princess and asked.

The old princess sighed, seemingly infinitely melancholy, "If my little Xia'er is still alive, she should be as beautiful and lovely as the Su family, and she may be married, and if I have another child, I can still be my grandmother." ”

Speaking of sadness, the old princess's eyes were slightly red, and there was a faint sadness on her body.

Yao Jinshuang's expression changed slightly in an instant.

"Auntie, don't be sad, my cousin was just lost, maybe she will come back one day."

The old princess was stunned for a moment, then a few wisps of bitterness overflowed in her eyes, she shook her head, and said: "At the beginning, Xiao Xia'er took that person away, it was a group of human traffickers, and then the prince sent someone to arrest them one by one, but when they were executed in Dali Temple, they personally admitted that Xiao Xia'er had died of illness on the road." ”

"My little Xia'er, I can't come back......"

When the old princess said this, the corners of her eyes overflowed a little wet, so she raised her wide sleeves and wiped them.

Seeing this, Yao Jinshuang's eyes flashed with a slight edge.

She suppressed the emotions in her eyes, patted the old princess on the back, and said softly: "Auntie, why don't I accompany you to the back garden?" ”

The old princess sobbed twice, and when she eased up a bit, she finally nodded, "It's okay to go." ”

Although the Qingwang Mansion is relatively remote and the furnishings in the palace are relatively simple, it is also the emperor who took into account the brotherhood with King Qing in the past and personally ordered someone to build it.

Therefore, the back garden was built quite large.

There is a pond in the center, and there are rockeries around the lake.

Yao Jinshuang led Princess Qing along the edge of the pool, greeted several noble ladies and wives, and continued to walk inside.

Not far away, Su Yuyi was standing behind a willow tree, looking at the water ripples in the pool with interest.

From time to time, they would pull out one or two branches and throw them into the lake.

There was movement on the surface of the pool, and the fish at the bottom thought they were being fed, so they swung their tails and swam towards it, but when they saw that it was just a note, they would be disappointed again.

After repeating this a few times, these fish have also learned to be smart, and they can no longer attract them if they ignore Su Yuyi.

Su Yu couldn't help but have a disappointed look on her face.

Shichun looked at the backs of Yao Jinshuang and the two of them in front of them, and couldn't help muttering: "Miss, when Princess Qi and the old princess came just now, they clearly saw us, and the old princess still wanted to come over and say hello to us, but Princess Qi pulled the old princess away, and I don't know what her intentions were." ”

Su Yuyi glanced at her, "Since they didn't greet us, it is natural that they have other important things to do, and now that we are guests in other people's houses, we must not speculate." ”

While teaching Shichun, he still didn't seem to give up, and after looking for a while at his feet, he found a tuft of tender green grass, pulled out two young leaves, and threw them into the pool.

Sure enough, another fish came over, opened their mouths and swallowed the young leaves.

Su Yu agreed, patted the tiny dust foam in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Shichun bit his lip, "It's not that I want to speculate about them, it's just that Princess Naqi and the Shen lady in the family are getting closer, and I don't know if these two people are ...... secretly."

Without waiting for Shichun to finish speaking, Su Yuyi's willow eyebrows tightened, and he glanced at her lightly, as if he was giving a silent warning.

Shichun didn't dare to say anything further, but if he didn't say it, he really couldn't swallow that breath.

He glanced around a few times, and pouted dissatisfiedly: "Speaking of which, she still came with us, but somehow, she was left alone by Princess Qing to talk when she arrived at the door, and now I don't know where to go." ”

Hearing this, Su Yuyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of variegated color flashed in his eyes.

……

Yao Jinshuang walked with the old princess to the end of the back garden.

Looking up, at the end of the corner is a slightly depressed pear forest.

King Qing loved the white and elegant pear blossom the most during his lifetime, and in order to provide him with pleasure, many plum blossoms were planted everywhere in the house.

This pear grove was specially planted for him.

However, after King Qing left, the old princess was afraid of touching the scene, so she dismissed the family members who were in charge of taking care of the pear trees in the house one by one, so these pear trees were deserted, and at this time, the cold winter wax moon was even more depressed.
