princess is fine

After Xiao Rongjin came out of the cold palace, she turned back around, hesitated for a while, and walked to Changxin Palace.

She hasn't been back to Hande Hall for a long time.It is said that it has been idle for a long time, and it still retains its former appearance.When the family banquet was held in the palace during the Chinese New Year, Concubine Zhao also entrusted that if she wanted to come back and have a look, she would come back.She has been sending people to clean and tidy up there, but it is still relatively clean.

Although Hande Hall is a side hall of Changxin Palace, entering and leaving is not to disturb the main hall.

When Xiao Rongjin went in, he saw the luxuriant crabapple tree at a glance, and couldn't help but recall the appearance of playing under this tree when he was young in his mind.

When she entered the room, she saw that the room was neat and tidy and well-furnished, and she felt a little turmoil in her heart. She went to the vases in front of the hall, moved them aside, and took out a jade carving from the west cabinet. .

At that time, she and Xiao Rongxuan fought all day long, and they never dared to put fragile items such as vases in this bright place in front of the hall. First, they were afraid that the fragments would hurt them, and second, they were gifts from the Holy One. Broken is also not good.

Only this jade carving, both she and Xuan'er like it very much, and they will hold back a little bit when they see it on weekdays, because of this kind of love, it made it stay safely in front of the hall for several years.

Xiao Rongjin looked at the jade carving and sighed lightly. Who else would remember what it looked like in this room?

She collected her mind, stopped looking at these old things, turned around and left the Hande Hall.

Walking to the entrance of the main hall, I happened to see Concubine Zhao's personal maid coming out of the hall. After seeing Xiao Rongjin, she hurriedly saluted, then asked someone to enter the room to pass the message, and invited Xiao Rongjin to enter the hall to rest.

In a short while, Concubine Zhao had already arrived in the front hall, and after exchanging pleasantries with Xiao Rongjin, Concubine Zhao said: "Chang Le returns to the palace this time, so let's stay a little longer, the Empress has worked a lot for the marriage of the Third Highness. , you can share some burden for your empress when you get back."

Xiao Rongjin nodded with a smile: "Naturally, we have to stay for a while, and the imperial concubine has been bothered these days."

Concubine Zhao also smiled and stopped talking.

The hall was quiet for a while, Xiao Rongjin was about to get up and leave, but saw the things in Concubine Zhao's hands, and was slightly taken aback: "Why is the concubine carrying the Buddha beads?"

When she was in the palace, she didn't hear that Concubine Zhao had the heart to worship Buddha...

Concubine Zhao was taken aback, she quickly loosened her sleeves to cover the string of Buddhist beads, and the smile on her face became a bit obscure: "I'm getting old, I can't help thinking wildly. Something happened in the palace these few days, and my mind is chaotic. Yes, I just want to use this to calm down."

Hearing this, Xiao Rongjin understood in her heart. Seeing that the smile on her face had receded, replaced by a somewhat anxious expression, she comforted her and said, "Can'er returned to the capital from the border soon. Madam saw him by his side. Before, I probably wouldn’t be so worried.”

Xiao Rongcan left the capital three years ago and only returned to Jian'an once on the way.This time the Zhou family had an accident, and the army was naturally affected.Concubine Zhao probably worried that Xiao Rongcan would have a hard time there, so she was so worried.

"Well, I'm just worried that something will happen to Can'er..." Zhao Guifei hastily answered, but the panic seemed to be covering up something.

Xiao Rongjin's heart moved, and she raised her almond eyes slightly to look at Concubine Zhao Gui. She was holding her hands tightly together, and the Buddhist beads on her wrists had been removed and she was rubbing them in her hands.

"My lady, please pay attention to your body. If you really feel unwell, please ask the imperial physician to come." Xiao Rongjin said lightly.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, don't bother the imperial physician." Concubine Zhao hurriedly replied.

"Then, Changle won't bother your mother's meditation, and I'm leaving." Seeing that she didn't want to continue, Xiao Rongjin said goodbye.

When leaving Changxin Palace, Xiao Rongjin glanced in the direction of Hande Palace, thinking of Concubine Zhao's actions just now, she couldn't help but feel a little doubtful in her heart, but it's just troublesome now, Xiao Rongjin shook her head and stopped thinking about it, after all, People in the deep palace, who doesn't have their own concerns.

After Xi Chao received the letter, he sent a letter back to Zhang Kun, thanking him for the news, and asking him to pay attention to the old house to see if Hong Xiaoluan would come back.

After sending the letter, Xi Chao bid farewell to everyone in Yaolu, and set off for Jian'an.

Even though he already knew the situation in Jian'an City, Xi Chao couldn't help thinking about it.

She changed into men's clothes by herself, dressed lightly, but within three or four days, she returned to Jian'an City.

After all, Jian'an City is the capital of the Daliang Kingdom, and the prosperity and grandeur are naturally incomparable to Xuanzhou and other places.People came and went on the street, rubbing shoulders, so after entering the city, Xi Chao dismounted and led the horse to walk slowly.

In the past three years, although she had been back to Jian'an, she only stayed for a few days before leaving. What's more, apart from caring for her family, she didn't dare to have any expectations for Jian'an City.

But after reuniting with Xiao Rongjin this time, and returning to Jian'an City again, Xi Chao only felt that everything he could see became a little extraordinary.Be it the shops on both sides or the hawkers on the street, what you saw and heard made Xi Chao feel a little joy in his heart.Probably because I have different expectations for this capital, I have such feelings in my heart.

When he reached the edge of Kuang Lake, Xi Chao saw the stone bridge, and remembered the agreement between her and Xiao Rongjin, his heart couldn't help but move again, and his steps became quicker.

In August in Jian'an City, there is still the prestige of autumn tigers. The noon sun is still warm, and the green willows on both sides of the river are becoming more and more green.But when the breeze blows, there are already fallen leaves.

Xi Chao stood under the tree for a while, then went straight home.

Xi Mu was the first to take the imperial examination the year before, and although he didn't win the first prize, he was also second in the list. He was edited by Shengshangren Imperial Academy. Although his rank was low, he was also leisurely.And because the situation in the court has not been very clear these years, and Xi Mu is not good at strategizing, Xi Fengshu advised him not to push himself forward, and it is not too late to display his ambitions only when the situation is certain.

Xi Mu listened to his father's persuasion, and went to the Hanlin Academy every day to do his work step by step.Today he left the Imperial Academy, and when he returned home, he saw a familiar figure at the door, he faltered, and immediately rushed up: "Chao'er!"

When Xi Chaofang walked to the door of his house, he heard a voice of surprise coming from behind. Looking back, it was indeed his elder brother. He looked at the elder brother who caught up with a smile and said, "Brother, I'm back."

The weather in Jian'an City has been very good these few days. After Xi Chao returned home, he hurriedly went to see his mother, and chatted with his sister for a long time, until it was dark, before he came out of the house.

Mrs. Xi looked at Xi Chao's capable attire, full of heroism, unlike other girls, who looked delicate and pitiful. Although her complexion was ruddy, she was not as fair and delicate as ordinary housekeepers. She couldn't help feeling a little distressed: "You are here After all, the life outside is not as fine as at home, so don't go out again after that, just stay at home and be a good bridesmaid?"

"Mom, although I can't accompany you at home, but I am practicing medicine outside, and I have seen a scene where I love a mother and a child. Think about it, if grandpa grandpa hadn't rescued you back then, I don't know what would have happened now. Now that I have studied medicine, so that all mothers in the world will not be sad, isn't it a greater filial piety?" When Xi Chao said this, her mother shook her head and said with a wry smile: "You have been a child since childhood. If you have an idea, my mother can't tell you. But this time, you should stay at home for a while."

"That's natural." Xi Chao responded, and hurriedly passed a glance to the elder sister who was standing aside, Xi Ye quickly pulled the younger sister and said: "Mother, Chao'er has been running all the way, I'm afraid I'm tired by now, I'll take her to rest first, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow, don't we talk about Chao'er, we need to stay a little longer."

"That's right, I'm so happy that I forgot. Then you sisters go, get up early tomorrow, and mother will take you somewhere." Madam Xi let the two of them go out.

As soon as Xi Chao went out, he let out a sigh of relief, turned to his sister and said with a smile: "Thank you sister, otherwise mother will nag me again..."

"You, if you come back more often, mother won't be like this." Xi Ye patted her forehead, and then sighed: "How can you grow so fast, if you continue like this, you will soon catch up with elder brother, right?"

Xi Chao smiled: "That's early, by the way, sister, mother said, take us to a place, where are we going?"

"You will know tomorrow." Xi Ye said with a half-smile.

Xi Chao was stunned for a moment, wondering what the two of them were trying to do.

In fact, she really wanted to visit the Princess Mansion.Father said that after Her Royal Highness the Princess fell into the mansion outside the palace, she has been living outside the palace.However, the Holy Majesty stayed in the palace again these days, so he might not be able to visit.Xi Chao felt a little disappointed, but also remembered some other things.According to the old rule, the princess would only be given a mansion to live outside the palace with her son-in-law after she got married.But Xiao Rongjin is already two decades old this year, yet he hasn't mentioned the matter of getting married. The princess mansion was built first.

Xi Chao knows that royal marriages are different from those of the common people, and must consider many factors, but thinking that Xiao Rongjin is still unmarried, Xi Chao is actually secretly happy, but on the other hand, she is extremely disturbed, because she does not know when Xiao Rongjin may also be married. Maybe he will get married like Xiao Rongxuan.

Speaking of Xiao Rongxuan's big wedding, there is still one month before Xiao Rongjin told her the time. Even if he can't see her for more than a month, he will definitely meet her again at that time. Thinking of this, Xi Chao couldn't help but start anticipating Hope, Xiao Rongxuan's big wedding day will come soon.

The author has something to say:

Chao'er is back, but she hasn't seen Her Royal Highness yet...

Thank you for Xiaoshengjiong's landmine, Dousha-jun's landmine, Dousha-jun's landmine, huh...

To say a few digressions, self-respect and self-love can be respected and loved by others, and neither body nor soul can survive without either.
