Chapter 19 The Shuo Clan
At this time, a palace official came over and saluted Gu Yunxi: "Princess, Miss Chang. Someone just came to spread the word that Mrs. Lei and the Second Young Master have returned to the mansion first. Please stay away, Mr. Lei and Miss Xiaoman." Staying in the palace for too long, return home earlier."

"You send someone to report Mrs. Lei's words, saying that Mr. Lei and Xiao Man are having dinner at Qingyun Palace today, and then go back." Yunxi ordered.

Chang Xiaoman waved his hand: "Yunxi, this is not good, we will bother you for too long."

"Haha, don't worry, the two of them will have to play for a while. As long as Yuxiu comes to the palace, he won't come home after playing with my brother until dark. Mrs. Lei is used to it." Yunxi didn't care road.

Chang Xiaoman understands.

Mrs. Lei probably wanted Lei Yuxiu and Gu Yunzheng to become close friends on purpose.

In the original book, when Gu Yunzheng and Gu Yunshen competed for the crown prince, the Lei family was Gu Yunzheng's staunch supporters.

Thinking of this, Chang Xiaoman frowned slightly.

She didn't want Lei Yuxiu to go into the muddy water where the princes were fighting for power.

But at this time, looking at the two people fighting in the distance, I feel that many things are fates that have already been written.

There was a faint uneasiness in her heart.

"Xiao Man, why are you frowning all of a sudden?" Gu Yunxi asked.

"I'm fine, but I'm a little worried about Lei Yuxiu's lively nature. Tomorrow he will be studying with the princes. You must also know about his bad deeds in studying at home. I'm really afraid that he will cause some trouble." Chang Xiaoman said.

"It seems that you still don't know Yuxiu very well."

"Huh?" Xiaoman raised his eyebrows.

"I'll tell you a secret. A secret about Yuxiu that only my brother and I know."

"What secret?"

Gu Yunxi clung to Chang Xiaoman's ear, lowered his voice and said, "Yuxiu has a photographic memory."

"Really? So powerful!"

Gu Yunxi took a natto from the plate and handed it to Xiaoman, and said with a smile: "So you don't have to worry about him studying at all. As for being naughty, I think the Taifu and the doctors should have already started to prepare a countermeasure. What's more, my brother With him, you can rest easy."

Hearing what Yunxi said, Chang Xiaoman felt at ease: "No wonder I never saw him read, but he can memorize the whole "Encouraging Learning" smoothly."

"My mother and concubine said that naughty children are smart children, and the talent is as good as Yuxiu, how can you make him not naughty?"

"Yunxi, the tone of your voice doesn't sound like the seventh prince's sister, but more like a sister."

"Haha, you're not the only one who said that." Gu Yunxi frowned and smiled, "By the way, you haven't seen my concubine mother since you came to Qingyun Palace, right? I'll take you to meet her."

"What about Lei Yuxiu?" Xiao Man asked.

"No, no, my concubine mother has a headache when she sees him, so he can play with my brother here by himself."

Gu Yunxi pulled Xiaoman and carried the flower basket, left the flower hall, and walked towards the main house of Qingyun Palace.

Entering Qingyun Palace, Chang Xiaoman felt a clear difference.

Whether it is curtains, veils or vases, they all have a special ethnic style.

Even the teacups and teapots on the table are completely different from those of Da Peichao.

"Xiaoman, are you looking at the furnishings here?" Yunxi asked, seeing Xiaoman puzzled and curious.

Chang Xiaoman nodded: "The decoration in Qingyun Palace is really unique, completely different from other places. Such exquisite art is really pleasing to the eye."

"Haha, Xiaoman, you really have a good eye. These are carefully arranged by my mother and concubine. Only Qingyun Palace is like this in the whole palace. And you see, all the green plants and flowers here are planted by my mother, yes Not all very pretty."

"It seems that Concubine Ju loves flowers and plants very much. These flowers and plants are notoriously expensive and surprisingly difficult to raise, but they grow so well here." Chang Xiaoman looked at the room full of vines and fragrant flowers in admiration.

"Well, part of it was donated to the father from various places, and the father rewarded the concubine mother. The other part was sent by the concubine mother to search for it. Everything is a precious variety."

Just as she was talking, Concubine Ju came out.

"Mother Concubine." Yunxi stepped forward and took Concubine Ju's arm affectionately, "This is the central figure in the rumors in the palace—Chang Xiaoman from General Dingyuan's Mansion."

Xiao Man didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly saluted: "I have seen Concubine Ju."

"It is indeed as rumored in the palace. She is a delicate and beautiful girl. Come here and sit here." Concubine Ju has a gentle temperament and an amiable attitude.

She softly ordered the palace servant: "Mr. Lei and Miss Chang are our guests tonight, tell the small kitchen to prepare some meals that the children like to eat. In addition, bring some newly brewed rice wine for them to taste." .”

When Gu Yunxi heard this, he clapped his hands and applauded: "Oh, Xiaoman, you are lucky. The cherry blossom rice wine brewed by my concubine is very delicious. I don't give you an extra sip on weekdays."

When Chang Xiaoman heard this, he quickly thanked Concubine Ju.

"It's not that you are reluctant to let you two children drink it, but this rice wine is wine after all, and children can't drink too much. There are guests today, so it's okay to drink some, but you can't be so casual on weekdays." Looking at Gu Yunxi, he said, "By the way, Yunxi, just now the Fashion Bureau has delivered new dresses, you can try them on now."

When Gu Yunxi heard it, his eyes were full of surprise: "Is it the Shuo costume that my mother asked the Shangfu Bureau to make last time?"

"Shuo clan?" Chang Xiaoman was a little puzzled.

Gu Yunxi smiled: "My mother and concubine are from the Shuo tribe. Whenever a girl from the Shuo tribe reaches the age of 13, she will wear the clothes of the Shuo tribe and learn to dance the dance of the Shuo tribe. I will be thirteen next month, so the concubine mother is very special. Customized clothing for the Shuo tribe from Shangfu Bureau."

Concubine Ju nodded to the maids, and soon, the maids presented the newly made dresses.

Chang Xiaoman looked at these national costumes and was amazed: "Wow, these dresses are too beautiful!"

Concubine Ju looked at these dresses, and smiled slightly: "In addition to the light purple one I chose earlier, I also asked the Shangfu Bureau to make an extra set of light yellow. It just so happens that you two are about the same height, why don't you try it on together?" Give it a try."

Chang Xiaoman hurriedly declined: "How can this work? These are Princess Yunxi's new clothes, how bad have I tried them on?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, you just wear it." Yunxi took Xiaoman's hand and said, "Just try it on for me."

Chang Xiaoman couldn't refuse, so he followed Yunxi to change clothes.

She complained silently in her heart. On the first day she entered the palace, she changed her clothes twice. This experience was like no other.But seeing the beautiful Shuo costumes, she still couldn't help drooling.

Shuo people's costumes are exquisite, but they are very cumbersome. With the help of the palace maids, they put them on for a long time before everything is in order.

Chang Xiaoman and Gu Yunxi returned to Concubine Ju holding hands.

"Concubine Mu, what do you think of us?" Yunxi asked.

Concubine Ju looked at the two people in Shuo costumes, but said nothing.

"Mother Concubine? Why don't you speak?" Yunxi took a step forward and turned around again, "Isn't it pretty?"

Concubine Ju smiled faintly, with warm tenderness in her eyes.

"What's the matter, Concubine Mu, why are your eye circles red?" Gu Yunxi noticed tears in Concubine Ju's eyes.

Concubine Ju shook her head, walked to Xiaoman's side, gently hugged her in her arms, and patted her on the back.

Such a friendly gesture made Chang Xiaoman a little embarrassed and surprised: "Madam Concubine Ju?"

Concubine Ju turned sideways and wiped away her tears carefully: "It's okay, seeing you two dressed like this, I remembered how I was with my sister when I was a child."

"Sister?" Gu Yunxi wondered, "Concubine Mu, why didn't I hear you say that you have a younger sister?"
