After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

Xiao Wu was about the same age as Zhang Dai, and he naturally opened his eyes wide to look at this person who suddenly rushed over to look for his sister.

Xiao Yansui blinked her eyes, didn't speak, but stretched out her hands directly.

Princess Wan'an, who happened to come over at this time, vaguely heard Zhang Dai's question when she was standing outside, and when she walked in with light lotus steps, she stood where she was, but happened to catch a glimpse of Xiao Yan. Sui stretched out his hands.

The little girl's hands are small and fair, and the back of her hand is outstretched, but most of the wounds at the beginning were actually on the inner side and edge of the finger. Looking from the back of the hand, there is really nothing to see.

Princess Wan'an's pupils contracted suddenly, she stared at Xiao Yansui, and Pei Shi who was sitting beside Xiao Yansui with a gentle expression and a smile on her lips.

Zhang Dai didn't realize this subtle difference for a while, so naturally he didn't think too much about it, but saw that Xiao Yansui's hand seemed to be in good condition, so he also heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile with sparkling eyes: "Are your wounds healed? Let's go fly a kite together!"

Xiao Wu who was standing by the side opened his eyes wide after hearing this, and looked at Zhang Dai without blinking.

However, Zhang Dai didn't even look at him, the young boy's scorching eyes all fell on Xiao Yansui.

Xiao Yansui was stunned for a moment, then smiled casually: "Didn't you say that only spring is windy and suitable for kite flying?"

"It's okay when the wind blows in autumn!" Zhang Dai immediately added.

"Hmm..." Xiao Yansui thought about it for a while, and coincidentally, Mrs. Pei had already got up, lightly patted Xiao Wu's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Sanlang, take care of Liu Niang." Then, she turned her head again Xiao Yansui and Zhang Dai pointed to where Princess Ningqin was, and said softly, "I'm going to have a few words with the princess."

Xiao Wu nodded immediately, "Don't worry, Aunt."

Xiao Yansui also gave an "um".

Zhang Dai subconsciously looked back at his mother, Princess Ningqin, who smiled and waved at him.

After Mrs. Pei walked away for a while, Xiao Yansui watched Zhang Dai staring at her eagerly, and finally nodded, "Okay, there seems to be a kite hanging in my house."

Xiao Wu: =口=! ?

Zhang Dai, who got his wish, looked at Xiao Yansui with a smile, and immediately started chatting, and couldn't help but mutter: "I also have it there. There are a lot of kites! I will show it to you when the time comes."

Xiao Wu couldn't help but looked back and forth at his sister, and then at Zhang Dai who was talking eloquently. After a while, he interrupted abruptly, "I'm going to fly the kite too!"

Only then was Zhang Dai willing to give him a look, looked at Xiao Wu for a while, and knew that he was Xiao Yansui's elder brother. According to common sense, it might be better to take him with him, so Zhang Dai didn't say much, just ordered Nodding her head, she simply said, "Okay."

Xiao Yansui also nodded, and said seriously: "At that time, I can still bring my dog ​​with me."

"Is that little dirt dog?" Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment. He never understood why his younger sister kept such an ordinary-looking little dirt dog. If so, there must be better hounds.

Zhang Dai heard this, but his eyes lit up immediately, "Is it the one on the mountain last time? How is it now?"

"Yes," Xiao Yansui nodded affirmatively, "It has grown taller than before, and it has gained a lot of weight."

Zhang Dai couldn't help but muttered: "I was too thin before, I should be fatter to look good."

"..." Xiao Wu looked at his younger sister and Zhang Dai in a daze, why did he feed a little dirt dog to make it look good, and it wasn't for killing and eating.

Xiao Yansui and Zhang Dai exchanged some dog raising experience on the topic of the little native dog, but Zhang Dai's time in raising it was still relatively short, so naturally it was not as rich as Xiao Yansui's content.

After a while, when Xiao Yansui had finished speaking, Zhang Dai turned his eyes and continued to watch Xiao Yansui happily start talking about other topics.

Xiao Wu, who continued to be ignored like this: "..."

Xiao Yansui had been sitting there obediently, with a simple smile on her face, listening to Zhang Dai's chanting, but inadvertently, she suddenly and keenly noticed that there seemed to be a venomous streak His eyes fell on himself.

Xiao Yansui raised her head directly, just in time to meet Princess Wan'an's cold and sharp eyes.

Xiao Yansui raised her eyebrows slightly, pursed her lips, her face was expressionless for a moment, but after a while, she smiled slightly at Princess Wan'an.

Princess Wan'an naturally took Xiao Yansui's exaggerated face change into her eyes. Subconsciously, the expression on her face seemed to be stunned for a moment. After all, Xiao Yansui is only a five-year-old child now. The expressionless face flashed past, and Princess Wan'an almost thought it was just an illusion...

Xiao Yansui withdrew her eyes from the benevolent, did not look at Princess Wan'an again, and continued to look cute and soft, sitting there quietly listening to people talking.

On the other hand, Xiao Wu seemed to have noticed something keenly. He glanced in the direction where Xiao Yansui had just raised his head, but found nothing. He thought he had misread it, but, thinking of Xiao Yansui's movement of raising his head just now, But he always felt that there was something wrong inside, so he simply reached out and poked his sister's arm lightly, and said in a low voice, "Liu Niang?"

Xiao Yansui didn't want to answer, but turned her head, looked at Xiao Wu innocently, and blinked, "Huh?"

"What were you looking at just now?" When Xiao Wu said this, he was still looking in the direction Xiao Yansui was looking at just now, but found nothing.

Xiao Yansui rolled her eyes, but smiled suddenly, and replied directly with a smile: "Look at Princess Wan'an, I just saw that she also came in."

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment before giving up, "Oh."

After all, Xiao Yansui is still young, and she seldom goes out with the Pei family as guests on weekdays, so she actually knows relatively few royal relatives and wealthy nobles in Chang'an City.

Zhang Dai also temporarily stopped speaking, took a drink from the cup, moistened his throat, glanced at Princess Wan'an, lowered his voice, gently pulled Xiao Yansui's sleeve, and gestured towards her After a while, he continued to chatter in a low voice: "Princess Wan'an? I heard people say that a few days ago, Princess Wan'an was punished and grounded by the saint, and she was released by the way because of Concubine Wu Hui's death."

"Foot grounding?" Xiao Yansui opened her eyes slightly, but her voice was very soft.

How could a good princess be grounded by a saint all of a sudden?Although it had been a while since the incident at Ximing Temple, but now that she suddenly heard about Princess Wan'an's grounding, Xiao Yansui keenly felt that the two might not be entirely unrelated.

Perhaps, this is an explanation from the sage to the Xiao family?

After all, although Xiao Yansui almost encountered an accident, according to the situation at the time, as a child, although she should have been shocked, the fact is that she came back safely, and the only serious injury was the finger……

At that time, the matter was suppressed in this way, but after careful consideration, it was not suppressed at the time, but was investigated to the end. The injuries she suffered could be bluffed. It's impossible to do anything to Princess Wan'an, tsk...

Xiao Yansui moved her fingers lightly. Although it was not obvious, the scars on her fingers could still be clearly felt.

Seeing that Xiao Yansui was curious about this topic, Zhang Dai immediately cheered up and said a few more words around this topic in a low voice.

It's just that what Zhang Dai knows is only the appearance that most people see in their eyes, and the deeper reason is that he is a short man, and no one really analyzes it with him.

Although, Xiao Yansui felt that, as a short Douding, Zhang Dai could say a few gossips when he met, and he could be said to know everything. This talent had already surprised her.

After a while, Mrs. Pei, who had said something to Princess Ning, walked over again. Seeing that Zhang Dai was chatting with her daughter again, Mrs. Pei blinked slightly, but she just wanted to laugh when she saw it.Especially because of the fact that Zhang Dai sent someone to Ximing Temple to deliver a letter to her before, Mrs. Pei actually had a very good impression of Zhang Dai. After sitting down, listening to the chatter of the three children, Mrs. Pei did not show any signs of impatience, and even Then he interjected softly, and asked with a smile: "What are you all talking about?"

This time, before Zhang Dai and Xiao Wu could open their mouths, Xiao Yansui said bluntly and directly: "I saw Princess Wan'an come in just now, and Zhang Dai told me that she was grounded by a saint before."

The expression on Pei's face froze for a moment. Although Xiao Yansui did not see her mother Pei's face, Pei's hand gently protecting her shoulder hesitated and trembled for a moment. Xiao Yansui could feel the tiny movements clearly.

Just at this moment, Xiao Yansui's heart became clear.

The person who designed to deal with her before was Princess Wan'an, and grandfather Xiao Song, mother Pei and others all knew that Princess Wan'an was behind the scenes, but they all chose to keep silent.

Xiao Yansui didn't want to explore what the adults of the Xiao family did, but she also admitted that since they did this, there must be a reason, although no one felt that as the person involved, even a child, Also eager to know all the truth...

Pei Shi calmly brought the topic of Princess Wan'an to the past, but she also whispered to the three children, "Princess Wan'an was grounded a few days ago, she may not be in a good mood , don't bother her."

Xiao Wu was still the first to answer, Xiao Yansui smiled softly, and on the surface he also looked obedient and obedient.

Zhang Dai was also straightforward, said "oh" casually, and continued to talk about other things.

It so happened that at this time, a court lady came over, saluted, and said softly: "Jiulang, Princess Ningqin asked the servant girl to invite you back."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Zhang Dai raised his head and looked in the direction of his mother, Princess Ningqin.

Princess Ningqin was sitting on the crescent stool, smiling, with a full of gentleness. She habitually put one hand on her lower abdomen, and the other hand stretched from the wide sleeves of the large palace dress. He stretched out and waved at Zhang Dai.

Li Tan and Li Wenning, who separated from Li Chu just ahead, also walked into the hall at this moment.

Li Wenning's face was still a bit happy, and he smiled and said to Li Tan: "Today is really lively."

Li Tan also talked to her with a smile. However, when he was not talking with Li Wenning, his expression was indifferent. He was obviously only a child of eight or nine years old, but because of his birth and childhood experience, he brought a smile on his face. With a kind of extreme quietness that doesn't match his age.

Zhang Dai glanced at Xiao Yansui and said, "I'll go to my aunt's side first."

"Go!" Xiao Yansui whispered.

Li Tan's eyes swept across the crowd, but fell on Xiao Yansui's face.

——It's September, and there are fewer mosquitoes. Xiao Yansui didn't go to the yard to calm down in the middle of the night in the past two days.

At the beginning, the little girl with a big face and a mosquito bag was wearing a red skirt today, with red jewel embellishments on her head. She was dressed lively and beautifully. She sat there with her mouth pursed. Talking, obviously a quiet appearance, but so cute and delicate that at first glance, the whole person seems to be shining.

Li Wenning also followed Li Tan's gaze, but after seeing Xiao Yansui, he couldn't help hesitating.

She couldn't help but glanced elsewhere, and when she saw the beautiful and charming Princess Wan'an in palace attire, she couldn't help but twitched the corner of her mouth, and poked Li Tan lightly.

"Third Sister?" After being poked, Li Tan remained completely calm, and just looked away temporarily and asked in a low voice.

Li Wenning kept his voice very low, probably only Li Tan who was standing next to him could vaguely hear, "Princess Wan'an is here today, I always feel a little uneasy." Especially when my brother Li Chu is not here yet. Here, just now seeing the little girl Xiao Yansui who was almost killed by Princess Wanan last time, Li Wenning felt even more uneasy.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, of course she is here..." Li Tan turned his head slightly and whispered.

"Ah..." Li Wenning couldn't help but sighed softly, and after being caught by the slightly surprised eyes of others, he immediately showed a smile again.

In the palace, Yan Xiao's sorrows and joys are never controlled by others.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and the sage will arrive in a while, if he is seen here sighing and sighing, there may be something to say.

"Tell me, should I remind Xiao Liuniang?" Li Wenning discussed with Li Tan in a low voice.

"No." Li Tan immediately refused softly.

Li Wenning was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Li Tan glanced at Xiao Yansui again, and happened to meet Xiao Yansui who raised his head.

A moment later, Li Tan slightly staggered his gaze, but he could still feel that the little girl's somewhat curious eyes still seemed to stay on his face.

On Xiao Yansui's side, Zhang Dai went back, and Xiao Wu immediately became active again.

"Liu Niang, what are you looking at?" The child was very curious, seeing that his sister hadn't looked away, Xiao Wu couldn't help asking.

"Look who else comes in later." Xiao Yansui, who was staring at Li Tan, answered very smoothly, as if she was telling the truth.

"Oh." Xiao Wu wasn't suspicious at all, it happened that Li Tan and Li Wenning had just walked in, and Xiao Yansui was staring at him, maybe he was looking in the direction outside.

Li Wenning blinked, then gently pulled Li Tan out, found a place outside where no one was around, and then whispered, "I thought Aye intended to send a message to Duke Xu..."

After withdrawing his gaze just now, Li Tan looked around thoughtfully for a while, and after making sure that no one around would hear him, he whispered to Li Wenning, "I guess, Mr. Xiao knew about it a long time ago."

Li Wenning was slightly taken aback, "Why do you say that?"

"Aye only paid a little attention to this matter, and he already knew that it was Princess Wan'an. The injured person was the granddaughter of Mr. Xiao. How could he not know..."

After hearing this, Li Wenning patted himself on the forehead lightly, "Yes, I still neglected this matter."

When Li Wenning and Li Tan came back, they saw that their cousin Zhang Dai was sitting with Xiao Yansui and Xiao Wu, and the three of them got together and didn't know what they were talking about.

On the other side, Princess Ningqin also got up and walked over slowly. Although the palace maid carefully supported her, when Pei Shi saw it, she immediately reached out to help her again, and said softly, "There are many people here, you If you are pregnant again, you have to be more careful."

Princess Ningqin smiled and waved her hands, and said softly: "How can you be so delicate." After saying that, she sat down beside Mrs. Pei.

Princess Ningqin did not mention the reason for her sudden arrival, but when Mrs. Pei looked up, she saw Princess Wan'an walking over to take a seat, and her seat happened to be next to Princess Ningqin's.

Although the two princesses are both sisters, Princess Ningqin and Princess Wan'an are not siblings of the same mother. It is not so easy to say that they are far and close.

A strange look flashed in Pei's heart, could it be that Princess Ningqin also knew about Princess Wan'an?Otherwise, why is there such a need between them...

Seeing Princess Ningqin coming, Zhang Dai was the happiest one, "Mother! I have made an appointment with Xiao Liuniang and Xiao Wulang, and we will go fly a kite another day!"

The entire Duke of Yan's mansion is quite arrogant towards Zhang Dai, especially the Duke of Yan, Zhang Shuo, is the Princess Ningqin who has been somewhat disciplined by Zhang Dai on weekdays. Faced with such a reasonable request from Zhang Dai, naturally Subconsciously nodded in agreement.

However, after Princess Ningqin nodded, she suddenly realized that this time, it wasn't her son who went out to play by herself, but also caught up with Pei's sons and daughters. Princess Ningqin hurriedly looked at Pei's family with a gentle smile Naturally, it was full of inquiries and apologies for the momentary negligence just now.

How could it be possible for Mrs. Pei to deny Princess Ningqin's promise at this time, she nodded and agreed, and said softly: "I have a farmer with a rather open field outside Chang'an City, if you If you want to fly a kite, it’s a good place to go there.”

Both Zhang Dai and Xiao Wu showed joy on their faces.

Xiao Yansui dragged her chin with one hand, not surprised by her mother Pei's behavior at all.

Pei's attitude is very simple, it's not a problem for the children to go out to play, the important thing is to go to a place that she can take care of and where there is no danger. Moreover, Xiao Yansui thought, this line of work must bring more guards.

Li Wenning, who just came back, looked at Princess Ning Qin who was sitting with Mrs. Pei, paused, and couldn't help but whispered to Li Tan: "Look over there, Mrs. Pei is sitting with her aunt, when did the two of them get along so well?" gone?"

Xu Guogong's mansion and Yan Guogong's mansion had no friendship in the past. After all, Xiao Song and Zhang Shuo were not in the same way at all, and this was never a secret thing in Chang'an City.

Li Tan also simply said, "Go over and say hello to my aunt!"

Li Wenning nodded, and couldn't help but murmured to Li Tan in a low voice: "I saw Princess Wan'an just now, but I was quite at ease, but I don't know how the people of the Xiao family feel when they see it. .”

Li Tan pursed his lips, but said nothing more.

Donggong and Xiao Song can't have a deep friendship, but if they say a few words, they can save face, which is definitely what Prince Li Heng likes to see.Especially now that Concubine Wu Hui has passed away, and the identity of the birthday king Li Mao is getting more and more subtle...

In fact, among the princesses present, Xuanzong's daughters were all their aunts, but what Li Wenning and Li Tan said was only Princess Ningqin, who was a compatriot of Prince Li Heng and his mother.

"Auntie, Mrs. Pei." After Li Wenning came over, he naturally smiled and said.

Li Tan followed behind and also said something, but immediately, his eyes fell on Xiao Yansui's fair and clean face.

Xiao Yansui was also looking at him, squinting at him, and really wanted to ask him "what are you looking at", but he just responded lightly, "I don't have mosquitos on my face anymore."

"..." Thinking of the way she stared at him when they met for the first time, Li Tan smiled in his heart, he still remembered, and was waiting for him here.

As soon as Xiao Yansui said this, Pei Shi, Xiao Wu and Li Wenning couldn't help showing their faces. Princess Ningqin and Zhang Dai still didn't know what was going on, but Zhang Dai had a straightforward personality, and when he had any questions, he just opened his mouth and said "What are you talking about? What kind of mosquito bag?" After being stunned for a while, Zhang Dai suddenly remembered that when he saw Xiao Yansui for the first time, there was a red mark on her face, and he suddenly realized: "oh!"

Xiao Yansui didn't say anything, but looked directly at Li Tan. The little girl's eyes seemed to be able to speak, and they opened slightly wider, shining like stars.

"..." In an instant, Li Tan was quite dumbfounded.

Even if he was wrong the first time, but just now, she obviously brought up this topic on her own initiative, why did he still ask him to speak.

"It's nothing." Li Tan smiled. Although he felt a little bit slanderous in his heart, he said kindly: "It's just that the weather is getting colder, and there are fewer mosquitoes in the garden."

"That's right, shall we go play in the garden?" Zhang Dai nodded in agreement and suggested directly.

"...I'm not going." No matter how much Xiao Yansui pretended to be a child, she still didn't have the playfulness and energy of a child.
