In June, the heat in Bianjing began, and ice cubes began to be placed in the hall. Baidu search→爱♂GO♀小♪说★网 www.AiQuXs.cOM
"Chuntang, come with me to West Street today. The business of several shops over there has not been very good recently. Let's see what the reason is." Xu Nuo rubbed his hair and pushed out the door. As soon as he walked out, Chuntang pushed him through the door.
"Madam, why did you come out without your clothes on?" Chuntang frowned anxiously. Their ladies are good at everything, but they are too informal when they are in the house, or they don't care about their image.
"Okay, if you don't go out, please open a window for me to get some air." She had just done a set of punches, and she was very hot now.
Chuntang opened the window as she was told, and Xu Nuo looked out the window through the curtains.
The sky is as blue as a wash, and the trees in the courtyard are lush and green, which makes people feel happy just looking at it.
Withdrawing his gaze, Xu Nuo said to Chuntang who was standing in front of the suitcase to get some clothes: "Prepare the clothes for me to enter the palace, and the Cuju suit is also ready."
Chuntang moved his hands for a moment and asked, "You're not going to West Street anymore? Hey... the saint is recruiting you again today?"
"Not yet, but it will happen."
Xu Nuo lazily rested his elbows on the window sill, enjoying the coolness and comfort in the morning air.
Recently, the queen invited her to the palace many times, not only because she wanted to drink the tea she ordered, but also because the sixth prince liked... and liked to watch her play Cuju.
The official family had few heirs, and many hopes were placed on the six-year-old prince, who was only three years old. Empress Liu also paid special attention to the prince who was named after her.
Sure enough, just after she had breakfast with Mrs. Lu, someone from the palace came.
After announcing the decree, the eunuch smiled and said to Xu Nuo, "Sixth Lady, seeing that the weather is fine today and the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, the saint invites you to come to the palace to enjoy the flowers and drink tea. However, such a good day is just Drinking tea is a bit disappointing, why not put on the Cuju clothes and enter the palace..."
The eunuch chatted a lot with Xu Nuo as if chatting. Xu Nuo only replied: "Father, I am fully prepared. When will we enter the palace?"
The eunuch nodded and said, "Sixth Lady is so smart. Let's go now."
After entering the palace, the eunuch went directly to see the queen with his promise.
Xu Nuo was followed by two palace ladies, followed the eunuch through the long verandah, and saw the queen who was admiring flowers in the pavilion in the middle of the pond.
"Li Niang of the Xu family has met a saint."
Promise to bow low. The exquisite bun and well-matched hair accessories were revealed to the queen's sight.
The queen's eyes swept through Xu Nuo's hair and said: "Get up, you guys came quickly. I just came here, and I haven't even moved the tea utensils."
Xu Nuo stood up and replied: "It is Liu Niang's blessing that the saint can recruit Liu Niang into the palace. Naturally, he will come soon."
"Then your little mouth is getting better and better at talking. It rained a few days ago and the weather was gloomy. Brother Six was so depressed. When I got up this morning, I was clamoring to play Cuju. I will come over to see you later. I will definitely I will be happy." The queen said, beckoning the palace maid to arrange a seat for Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo sat down and saw a large field of blooming lotus in front of her. The leaves were green and the flowers were red. It was really hard to look away.
A few days ago, the lotus flowers were just buds. Yesterday it rained. Today it is sunny, and all the flowers in the pond are in bloom. Xunuo saw the lotus flowers blooming in the Xu Mansion and determined that the queen would announce her entry into the palace.
"Big queen, big queen."
Xu Nuo was chatting with the queen when she heard the happy shouts of the sixth prince. Turning around, he saw that the Sixth Prince had arrived at the pond and was running towards the pavilion. His two calves were crossing each other very cutely.
The small figure put a smile on Xu Nuo's face.
After entering the pavilion, the sixth prince threw himself directly on the queen, "My eldest wife, my child misses you so much."
"Brother Six has not seen me for an hour. Why do you miss me so much?" The Queen hugged the Sixth Prince with a smile on her face.
When facing the Sixth Prince, she was no longer the domineering queen who controlled life and death, she was just the Sixth Prince's eldest lady.
"My eldest wife, I just miss you." The sixth prince smiled even more happily and hugged the queen tighter.
Xu Nuo secretly thought that the sixth prince was only three years old, so he was so good at talking, no wonder he was so popular.
"Xu Liuniang is here today. You can play Cuju together in the afternoon." The queen was so happy that the sixth prince coaxed her to let him play Cuju in the afternoon.
Xu Nuo had already stood up, and now she bowed low and saluted: "The Sixth Mother of the Xu family has met the Sixth Prince."
"Xu Liuniang, I miss you so much." The sixth prince got off the queen and said hello to Xu Nuo in a drawl, his voice full of joy.
…
"Does the Sixth Prince like lotus flowers?" Xu Nuo was already very familiar with the Queen, and he was not restrained in the palace. After ordering tea for the Queen, he played with the Sixth Prince.
"I like it. It's pretty and fragrant, just like you." The sixth prince liked Xu Nuo very much. At this moment, he was sitting next to Xu Nuo and watching her wash the tea set, and answered steadily.
Xu Nuo didn't expect that the Sixth Prince would say that, and immediately smiled and said, "Are you saying that I am beautiful too? I like compliments very much. In this case, why not give you a gift."
"What does the Sixth Lady want to give me?" The Sixth Prince leaned forward and looked up at Xu Nuo expectantly.
"Lotus scented tea." Xu Nuo pointed to the lotus in the pond with a smile and continued: "Since the Sixth Prince likes lotus, I will give you tea with lotus scent. Do you like it?"
The queen heard the conversation between the two and looked over. Xu Nuo hurriedly explained: "Lotus scented tea is not made by crushing lotus petals or leaves and adding them to the tea balls, but by putting the tea balls into the already bloomed lotus flowers. It can be taken out after the tea ball is soaked with the aroma of lotus."
Lotus has a cooling effect, so Xuanyi would not let a three-year-old child eat it. It just adds more light aroma of lotus to the tea balls.
"Is this still possible?" The queen was very interested after hearing this.
Xu Nuo nodded and said: "Drinking tea like this has a unique flavor. If you do it now, you can drink it later."
"Then you can stay in the palace for the next few days and try it out. I'll ask someone to go talk to your mother." The queen said directly.
Although Xu Nuo had no intention of staying in the Queen's palace, the Queen spoke up, and she had nothing else to worry about, so she agreed.
The queen followed Xu Nuo's instructions and asked the eunuch to prepare a small boat. Xu Nuo and two palace maids who knew how to swim took the tea group and rowed to the pond.
She put the tea balls into the blooming lotus one by one. After each tea ball was placed, she tied a blue cloth strip to the lotus stem.
The sixth prince saw it with envy and shouted that he wanted to get on the boat to pick flowers. The queen said a few words to him and he stopped talking.
Promises good hearing. Hearing the Sixth Prince's crying voice, he picked a blooming lotus and hid it behind his back after getting off the boat. He didn't take it out until he squatted in front of the Sixth Prince.
"Sixth Prince. This is for you."
When the sixth prince saw the lotus, his sullen little face instantly smiled, and he ran around the pavilion holding the lotus.
The queen smiled and said to Xu Nuo: "He was just making trouble with me about going to the pond to pick flowers. Fortunately, you are smart."
"I just think that such a beautiful thing should be given to the Sixth Prince." Xu Nuo lowered her head and smiled, darkening the lotus in the pond behind her.
That night. She was sleeping soundly when she heard something moving outside the house. She got up from the couch alertly and hid sideways by the door.
Before entering the palace, she took off all the weapons on her body. If someone really attacked her, she would have to fight with her bare hands.
She didn't like being watched in the room when she slept, and it was the same in the palace. The queen knew her habits, so she followed her and did not arrange a maid for her at night.
"it's me."
It seemed that he could feel the nervous breathing of the people in the room. The person outside quietly identified himself.
After hearing this, Xu Nuo relaxed his nerves and opened the door to the people outside the house.
"It's too dangerous for you to come here like this. You think this is the Xu Mansion and you are allowed to come and go." Xu Nuo complained.
Although she was complaining, Xiao Yuan could see clearly that she was smiling through the moonlight.
"I'm worried about you, so I don't care whether it's safety or danger." Xiao Yuan took Xu Nuo's hand, gently pulled it, and the two of them went up to the roof.
"In the palace. She doesn't dare to mess around." Xu Nuo knew why Xiao Yuan came, and his thoughtfulness made her feel at ease.
The night was no longer as hot as the day, and a breeze blew by from time to time. She reached out and tucked her broken hair behind her ears. He held his chin with his hand and looked at the peaceful palace, slowly becoming lost in thought.
Whether it's modern times or the Song Dynasty, summer nights are so quiet and refreshing.
Only at such times would she think of her past life. Thinking of those who once lived beside her...
Xiao Yuan waited for the promise to finish in a daze, then said: "The Lord of Jiaren County is a master who must avenge his grievances. It's best for you to be careful. How many days will the Queen keep you in the palace this time?"
"I don't know, but don't worry, with my skills, I won't be killed quietly." She is not worried about the revenge of County Lord Jiaren at all, because she has always been vigilant, no matter whether there is County Lord Jiaren or not An invisible threat, she will still be wary of everything around her.
After all, she had already died once. God favored her and gave her a second life, which she would cherish.
"I don't want you to be on alert all the time. I want to be by your side so that you can sleep peacefully." Xiao Yuan rubbed Xu Nuo's hair, his eyes full of doting.
He originally wanted to stay outside Xu Nuo's door for one night and leave at dawn the next day, but he didn't expect to wake her up just before he got to the eaves.
The stronger the promise of self-protection became, the more Xiao Yuan wanted to protect her.
"You have helped me a lot, you don't have to be like this all the time..." Xu Nuo looked at Xiao Yuan, his eyes crinkling with laughter. He was still wearing black clothes today, his hair was tied up meticulously, and his face became more and more angular.
Previously, Xiao Yuan came forward to expose the crimes of Jiaren County Lord on Xu Nuo's behalf. Firstly, he wanted to avoid the situation where the Xu family sisters were at odds in front of many people. Secondly, he was afraid that Jiaren County Lord would retaliate against Xu Nuo after he was exposed.
But even so, Xiao Yuan was still worried that the head of Jiaren County would know about his relationship with Xu Nuo, or that Xu Nuo had single-handedly investigated the case, and would take the opportunity to take revenge on her.
Xiao Yuan's emotional intelligence was high enough, and he understood in his heart Xu Nuo's gratitude to him, but he didn't want her to feel more gratitude towards him, so he changed the subject and said, "Actually, you just want to be with the Sixth Prince."
Sure enough, Xiao Yuan suddenly said this and blocked the promise. She asked: "What do you mean?"
"The Sixth Prince said today that besides officials and saints, the one he likes the most is you. You also said you like him, and you made him lotus-scented tea, gave him lotus flowers, and hugged him..."
Xu Nuo looked at Xiao Yuan and couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Are you jealous?" Xiao Yuan was well-informed, and it was not surprising that he knew what happened during the day.
"What is jealousy?"
"Being jealous is a bit like jealousy. How can a three-year-old be jealous? He is only three years old and is still a child." Xu Nuo suppressed a smile, clenched his fist and hit Xiao Yuan on the shoulder.
Xiao Yuan grabbed Xu Nuo's hand and put it on his heart, saying: "You are only thirteen years old, and you are also a child, but when you look at the Sixth Prince, your eyes are different from others. If other children cry, I don't think you will go out of your way to I picked flowers and gave them to him.”
"He is the future emperor, so I naturally treat him differently from others."
Xiao Yuan frowned and asked, "How do you know?"
Xu Nuo realized that she was too happy just now and said the wrong thing, but she still retorted confidently: "I just know."
Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly and stopped asking, but said, "In this case, I will also go to the palace tomorrow to help the officials and the Sixth Prince prepare dinner."
"Don't disturb the relationship between me and the Sixth Prince. How I live the rest of my life depends on him." Xu Nuo wanted to curry favor with the Sixth Prince so that when he ascended the throne in ten years, she could get some benefits.
"Huh?" Xiao Yuanru was struck by lightning. It was clear that he wanted to marry the sixth prince. He said anxiously: "You looked at my body and kissed me. You must be responsible for me and cannot marry anyone else."
"I didn't say marrying anyone else. I was just trying to please the royal family." Xu Nuo couldn't laugh or cry. After speaking, he stretched out his arms to hug Xiao Yuan, "I will only marry you in this life and in my previous life."
Xiao Yuan also hugged Xu Nuo, put his hand on the back of her neck, and asked softly: "What about the next life?"
Xu Nuo pushed Xiao Yuan away, stared into his eyes, and said, "It depends on your performance in the next life."
The corners of Xiao Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and the smile in his eyes deepened. As soon as he retracted his hand, he pulled Xu Nuo to him, lowered his head and kissed her.
The faint fragrance between his lips and teeth made him nostalgic. It wasn't until he heard Xu Nuo's breathing became heavier that he let her go and asked, "Is this performance up to standard?"
