Today is her return to the palace, counting the days, she has also lived in the Wei Mansion for two months. In the past two months, she has shown favor to Cheng Yong several times, but Cheng Yong has ignored her. Whether it was admiring the moon together or walking together, Cheng Yong never seemed to have done anything with her, except for gently patting her on the shoulder when she was crying.

Bao Xi flattened his mouth, and still didn't dare to make his words clear. In fact, the fact that the eldest young master likes Miss Lanfu is already well known, although Wei Dongshu has clearly instructed that no one is allowed to mention this matter, but everyone is not stupid, and this point of personnel is still understood. It's just that the princess doesn't know.

The eldest young master didn't want to say more to the princess, and he avoided the princess everywhere, which already explained everything. But the princess was straightforward and naïve, and even ran to question her face-to-face. The princess was pointed out to the eldest young master by the first emperor, and even if she didn't want to accept this marriage, she couldn't refuse.

"What did you mean by what he said to me that day? He said he gave me a boxy inkstone. If he doesn't have me in his heart, why should he accept my incense pool? If he doesn't have me in his heart, why should he give me that inkstone?"

Bao Xi pursed her lips, don't you understand this? The boxy inkstone is the one without a circle! Even she, a little girl, can figure out the truth, why doesn't the princess of the golden branches and jade leaves understand? Is it really a fan of the authorities?

Chen Xiang moved a piece of silk and compared it on his body: "I know, he dislikes me for not being able to knit women's red, and not being able to write poetry and songs." What's this, I don't know now, but I'm not stupid, I want to learn, naturally I can learn. If he rejects me for this, won't he have a preconceived notion of me?

Bao Xi didn't speak, so Chen Xiang turned her head and asked her, "You say, if I make a dress for him with my own hands, will he have a different opinion of me?"

Bao Xi lowered his head: "Probably ......"

Chen Xiang sighed and said, "It's also in vain to ask you, what do you know?"

The carriage and horse slowly drove into the palace forbidden, and the incense gently lifted the sedan curtain to look out, and the palace was as solemn as before, but it had changed the dynasty. The era of the first emperor has become a thing of the past, and the era of Xiao Rongshen's puppet emperor has also ended, and now it is the new emperor of Great Chu who has ascended the throne, and the scenes in the palace are all new.

The new palace lamps, the new flags, and even the costumes of the guards on the city wall are all new clothes.

Bao Xi crouched in front of the car window, looking out of the window stupidly, greedily watching the scene outside the car. She is a folk child, she has never seen any big world, and the Wei family compound is already called the Jade Emperor's Treasure Hall in her mind, not to mention the majestic and magnificent palace?

The car stopped slowly, and the sharp voice of the inner supervisor came from outside the car: "I respectfully ask Princess Chenxiang to change to Dengyu." ”

The palace maids lifted the curtain, and a palace maid in charge stepped forward to bless her body and stretched out her hand to help the incense down. Chen Xiang raised her head and saw Rong Run standing outside the car, she was overjoyed, and pounced with open hands. Rong Run may not have seen this good sister of his for a long time, since he escaped from the capital, it is the first time he has seen him.

Rong Run patted Chen Xiang's back and said, "Let the sixth brother see, is he fat or thin?"

"I'm fat, the Wei family treats me very well, and I do my best to serve. Sixth brother, I miss you so much. Miyaka smiled, but felt a salty taste in her mouth.

Rong Run raised his hand and wiped away the tears on Chenxiang's cheeks with the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "It's fat, and your face is round, it seems that Wei Chengyong didn't treat you badly." Rong Run said, his conscious nose was a little sour: "Hey, today is a big day, why are you crying?" The emperor wants me to take you in here, don't delay, the imperial brother misses you too." ”

Chen Xiang didn't want to sit in a sedan chair, she just wanted to take Rong Run's arm and walk in together.

"Sixth brother, I heard that the imperial sister-in-law is pregnant?" Chen Xiang tilted her head and looked at Rong Run's side face.

"Yes, it's been four months. Rong Run looked at Chen Xiang, looking like he wanted to say something.

The people in Weifu also have this problem, they talk in a slurred manner, and over time, Chenxiang is used to it. Chen Xiang smiled: "Sixth brother, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say, you weren't like this before." ”

Rong Run smiled warmly, yes, it doesn't look like him.

"Are all the people in the Wei Mansion okay?"

"It's good, the old lady of Weifu is almost seventy years old this year, and her body is still very strong. and the Aunt Yu of the Wei family, who is Cheng Yong's mother, I like her person the most. is gentle and kind, and she should be like that when she is a woman. Chen Xiang looked at Rong Run delicately.

"Be a woman......" Rong Run sneered: "At your young age, you still know how to be a woman?"

"Back to the prince's words, when the princess was in the house, she was already learning to knit female red, and she had grown in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even the master who taught art praised it. Bao Xi said with a smile.

Rong Run glanced back at her, this girl had a bad face.

Chen Xiang smiled: "Oh, this is the maid I brought back from the Wei Mansion, called Bao Xi." ”

Rong Run glanced her up and down, but she was a real girl, and she had the temperament of a countryman who was honest all around.

"Your second lady, how is the business doing when you come in?"

Bao Xi shook her head with a smile: "Listening to the girls in the old man's room, the old man is not very satisfied with the second miss, saying that the second miss is not as good as the third miss." In the past, when the third lady was there, she never looked at her again. These days, the capital is very chaotic, and many things of unknown origin have poured into the store, and the second lady has looked away a few times and lost a lot of money. ”

Rong Run was a little dignified, and Chen Xiang smiled: "What are you afraid of? His Wei family has a solid background, and there are more small pawnshops like Xi Yintang." I don't care about this one bottle and two bowls. If you look away, you will look away, how can you not make a mistake in doing business? The Wei family will not collapse because of receiving the wrong two goods. ”

Naturally, it won't be defeated, but thinking that Yuan Yue would be scolded by Wei Dongshu because of this, Rong Run was still quite worried about her. Wei Yuanyue's temperament is silent, compared with Yuanxi, he seems timid, and many things are easy to worry about, if he can't think about it for a while, those troubles are held in his heart, shouldn't he be stuffy?

"If you want to say that this Sister Yuanyue is really in danger. Originally, among the juniors of the Wei family, there was only one Yuan Xi who could palm. Now Wonxi is married to his second brother and wants to be the queen. Cheng Yong is determined to take the imperial examination and has no intention of taking care of the family business, can these things only fall on Yuan Yue alone? With such a big pile of things thrown to her alone, who hasn't made a mistake in her busy schedule!"

Chen Xiang said this, but it was just to make a circle outside for Yuan Yue. The Wei family's main business is an antique shop, and it is really impossible to make a mistake. If you look at one thing wrong, you may lose hundreds of taels, or even thousands of taels.

But in this generation, the juniors in the family are dead and scattered, and none of them can support the family business. If you want to give the antique palm, only Yuan Xi can be the one, and she is the only one, and she will not make mistakes in her busy work, which is why Wei Dongshu wants to pass on the family business to Yuan Xi.

"What the princess said is that Miss Yue is busy every day without touching the ground. The master is strict with her, and strives for her to be as comfortable as the third lady. Bao Xi echoed.

"Really?" Rong Run frowned: "It seems that your second lady is not going to get married?" The imperial sister-in-law is one year younger than the second young lady, and now the imperial sister-in-law is already pregnant with the imperial brother's child, and the second young lady of your family has not yet left the cabinet, what is the reason?"

Bao Xi was stunned for a moment, this is the ugliness of the family that cannot be publicized. It's not that no one proposed to the second lady, it's just that the second lady bit to death and refused to marry, and the lord has scolded several times for this matter, and the second miss is iron-hearted, and she also said that she wants to marry and become a nun.

This kind of thing is very embarrassing, how can you casually chat with the princes? Bao Xi only smiled: "Back to the prince's words, there are many people who have proposed marriage to the second miss, but none of them have been favored by the young lady." ”

Chen Xiang covered her mouth and smiled: "I said yes, Sister Yue's vision is too high, I think she will marry a prince in her life, if she doesn't marry the emperor." ”

Marry a prince? Rong Run's cheeks suddenly flushed a little crimson.

Chen Xiang saw Rong Zhan, and hurriedly went to the North Palace to meet the Queen Mother. It has been more than two months since I saw my mother for the last time. The queen mother is now in good spirits, but her sideburns are a little gray. Chen Xiang looked at her mother, and suddenly felt that her mother had aged a lot.

The Queen Mother condensed the incense for a while, beckoned, and took the incense into her arms. The Queen Mother hugged her, as if holding a peaceful dream.

"Mother, my daughter is back, and my daughter has made you worried......"

The Queen Mother hugged Chenxiang, her eyes gradually became thick, and old tears were crisscrossed. After being imprisoned in the palace for so long, suffering from all kinds of sorrow, and being taken hostage by Xiao Rongcheng to the city wall, she escaped death several times, and only a few of her children can support her to live to this day! Now that her daughter has finally returned to herself, how can she not be hurt?

Zhao Kezhen stood aside, seeing that the Queen Mother was crying really emotionally, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered. The Queen Mother moved her true feelings, this is what Zhao Kezhen is most worried about, if the Queen Mother is in grief, complains of grievances, and shakes out her affairs, she really doesn't know how she died.

Zhao Kezhen didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the Queen Mother, and said, "Queen Mother, Princess Chenxiang has returned, don't be sad anymore." Why are you crying, Princess, isn't that good?"

As soon as the Queen Mother heard Zhao Kezhen's voice, she suddenly became alert. Looking at Zhao Kezhen's eyes, the Queen Mother suddenly understood what Zhao Kezhen meant.

The Queen Mother slowly took off her hand and confused Chenxiang.

"Queen Mother, how can you be with such a woman?"

When Zhao Kezhen heard this, her face changed suddenly: "Princess, what you say, the concubine can't understand it." ”

Chen Xiang stood up and sneered at Zhao Kezhen: "Why don't you understand, what I said is still not clear? Today is the reunion of this princess and the queen mother, a day of great joy, when will it be your turn to point fingers beside you?"

"Chenxiang!" The Queen Mother twisted her eyebrows, lowered her voice and reprimanded: "Shut up." ”
