into the bosom

Chapter 241
Xu Jiao knew about it the day Princess Huiming arrived in Feng'an.Because Princess Huiming was going to the palace the next day to greet the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xian, and the Eldest Princess was also going, someone told Xu Jiao overnight to let her accompany them and enter the palace together tomorrow.

Xu Jiao was still very curious about this Princess Huiming, and with the matter of Xu Yi and Li Huan, she readily agreed.

After packing up the next day, she entered the palace by herself.

As for the eldest princess, she left early, presumably because she couldn't wait.Although this Princess Huiming is not the blood of the late emperor, she is a loyal descendant. It is said that her biological father Cheng Guogong had a sworn brotherhood with the late emperor. He used to be a general guarding the northwest. The Duke's wife also disappeared long ago, leaving only such a daughter.

The first emperor took pity on the loneliness of the young girl, brought her into the palace, adopted her as a righteous daughter, and raised her under the knee of the empress, who is now the empress dowager.

Although this Princess Huiming was not of royal blood, she was truly treated as an imperial daughter since she was a child, and grew up like a sibling of Emperor Xian and Princess Chang.

The eldest princess is so happy about her return, which shows that the two sisters have a good relationship.

When Xu Jiao arrived at Anfu Palace, he had just walked to the gate of the palace when he heard laughter from inside the palace.

Gong'e, who was guarding outside the palace, let out a sound, and then she entered with a smile.There were not many people in the hall, and there were only the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, and there was also a beautiful woman she had never seen before, and a girl who looked about the same age as Zhou Qiao, who must have been Princess Huiming and the Li family that she gave birth to. The fifth wife of the family.

When Xu Jiao's heart turned, he had already walked up to him, and he squatted down and made a big salute, "Greetings to the Empress Dowager, and to the mother!"

When Gong'e reported, several people in the hall had already turned their eyes and watched her approaching.

Only Xu Jiao, the more he is under pressure, the sweeter his smile is, so under the gaze of several people, his back is straight, and he has fully demonstrated the rules of parenting and training in the past. It is dignified and elegant, at least not to lose the princess's face.

"Ajiao is here, get up quickly!" The queen mother smiled and asked her to excuse her, then waved to her, "Come here, Ajiao, this is your aunt!"

Xu Jiao raised his eyes and glanced at Princess Huiming very quickly, but he didn't want to bump into a pair of eyes that were looking at her. They were a pair of phoenix eyes like two clear waters. They looked at people with a smile, not like the eldest princess. The sharpness and exploration at the first meeting seemed to be a kind smile.

But Xu Jiao will not let down his vigilance because of this, and underestimate the person in front of him.

She hurriedly narrowed her gaze, squatted down and saluted, as if she was embarrassed to be caught because of peeking at others, and she was a little more cautious in her speech, "I have seen my aunt!"

"That's your cousin, called Xie."

"Hello cousin."

"cousin!"

Xu Jiao and Li Xie also had a ceremony.

"This is Ajiao?" Kankan stood up straight, and heard Princess Huiming say.

Princess Huiming's voice is very pleasant, as melodious as a flowing spring, her mouth won't make people feel alienated, and she won't make people feel overly eager. With just the right smile, she calls "Ajiao" instead of "Yingyue" ".

"That's right, this child has a sympathy with me, and after raising her by my side these days, I have truly regarded her as my own child." The Eldest Princess answered with a smile.

"There are not many children who can be valued so much by you, sister, so I have to take a good look! Ajiao, come, come! Come to my aunt!" Princess Huiming greeted with a smile.

Xu Jiao pondered for a while, then raised his eyes to glance at the eldest princess, and saw that her expression was as usual, so she also said "yes", walked forward slowly, and stood still one step away from Princess Huiming.

Princess Huiming was not so close that she took her hand directly, but looked at her with a kind of eyes between kindness and sharpness, and then praised with a smile, "It really is a neat child, looking at the temperament Also well-behaved, no wonder the queen mother and elder sister like it."

Xu Jiao's fan-like eyelashes trembled slightly. It turned out that Princess Huiming not only called the Eldest Princess Sister, but also the Queen Mother, and also called the "Mother Queen".

"Ajiao, you can play with this one that you wear on weekdays." Princess Huiming took off the emerald green and transparent jade bracelet from her wrist, and stuffed it into Xu Jiao's hand.

Xu Jiao pondered for a while, then bent her knees and took it, "Thank you, Auntie."

The smile on Princess Huiming's face softened again, "He is a sensible person. I heard that a marriage has already been arranged?"

"That's right! His Majesty bestowed it upon you, and it is His Majesty's confidant, the Commander of the Security Guard." The Eldest Princess replied with a smile.

"Oh? Has the wedding date been set?" Princess Huiming looked at Xu Jiao with a smile. I don't know if it was Xu Jiao's illusion, but her tone seemed to be two points more eager than before.

"A few days ago, I accepted Cai, but the wedding date has not yet been set. How could it be so fast? There are hundreds of female families asking for it. Even if His Majesty bestows the marriage, it will not be so easy for him to marry!" The eldest princess smiled. road.

Princess Huiming looked at Xu Jiao and smiled, "That's true. When you get married, your aunt will add makeup."

The eldest princess and the queen mother echoed a few more words, and turned to talk about other things, "Are you going to stay longer this time?"

Xu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and finally stopped talking about her marriage.

It's just that one heart still hasn't settled down yet, after listening to Princess Huiming's words, she quietly suspended her heart again.

"I came back this time mainly for Erlang's marriage. This child... is also stubborn. Because of some things, he actually stayed in Feng'an and refused to go back. His father got angry with him, and I was caught in the middle. It's hard to do, this time back to Feng'an, but the one who said something to his father will definitely settle his marriage..."

Xu Jiao was pricking up his ears, trying to hear more clearly, when suddenly a fluffy head popped out before his eyes.

Xu Jiao looked at the tabby cat in front of him, and the girl holding the cat, and stared at her eyes, feeling an indescribable strangeness in his heart.

The girl's eyes are very similar to her mother's, they are all phoenix eyes, and the tails of the eyes are slightly raised, but Princess Huiming always smiles, looking kind and charming, but when it comes to the girl, she is slightly tricky .

Xu Jiao and the girl in front of him stared at each other for a moment, then saw her smile suddenly, showing her bright teeth and a shallow dimple on her cheek, which looked sweet, but Xu Jiao For some reason, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine.

However, before she could react, the girl had already hugged the cat and turned to the talking adults, "Grandmother, Liuli has been here for a long time, and she's a bit bored. I want to take it out for a walk."

The queen mother who was talking stopped, and Princess Huiming smiled lightly. The queen mother knew that she had no objection, so she also smiled and replied, "You are not familiar with this palace, so let your cousin go with you !"

"Okay!" Li Xi responded very simply, turned his head to look at Xu Jiao, and smiled brightly, "Then I will trouble you, cousin!"

"Ajiao, take care of your cousin!" the princess ordered.

"Yes!" Xu Jiao replied with a downcast smile, and when she turned around, she saw the girl who was walking out of the palace with the cat in her arms after smiling at her. Only then did he unhurriedly follow behind and also walked out.
