After the divorce, my ex-uncle fell in love with me crazily

Chapter 276 He's Like a Wolf with a Big Tail

She froze for a moment, but quickly remembered.

When she woke up in that corridor, the back figure she saw was the prince, right?

Thinking about it, she blurted out: "Prince..."

Qi Yan paused as he was about to enter the compartment, then looked back, "Miss Tao Fifth?"

Tao Lian thought for a while, summoned up the courage to step forward, and then stretched out her pink palm towards him, "Your Highness, have you found the handkerchief that you promised to find for my servant?"

Qi Yan's eyes fell on the small palm she suddenly handed in front of him, he paused, and shook his head, "Not yet."

Tao Lian tilted his head and looked at him suspiciously.

She had a faint feeling in her heart that the loss of her handkerchief was related to the prince.

But his eyes were so clear and upright, this kind of doubt was quickly dispelled by her.

"Oh."

Qi Yan smiled, turned around and entered the carriage.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Tao Lian had to take two steps back.

But at this moment, a slender hand raised the curtain, and Qi Yan's handsome face was exposed from the car window.

After glancing at Tao Lian with his dark eyes, he ordered the coachman to set off.

As soon as his carriage left, Tao Yao stepped forward and grabbed Tao Lian, asking, "What did you just say to the crown prince? What kind of handkerchief?"

"My handkerchief is lost." Tao Lian replied.

Tao Ling also came over, and upon hearing this, she said amusedly, "The handkerchief embroidered with ducks?"

"Second sister, that's not a duck, it's a mandarin duck." Tao Lian frowned and corrected.

Tao Ling laughed and said: "Okay, it's a mandarin duck. But even so, why did you ask the prince to find it for you? You must have lost it somewhere. Anyway, no one would want that kind of handkerchief. Think about where you were when you saw it for the last time, so why not just look for it there?"

Tao Lian heard the words, hesitated to speak, she suspected that the prince had stolen her handkerchief, but she had no evidence...

"It must have been stolen." She still insisted on her own thoughts.

"Since it's gone, let's forget it and embroider another piece." Tao Yao said.

"Fourth sister, you don't feel pain in your back when you're standing and talking." Tao Lian pouted.

Tao Yao was angry and funny, "How come I don't have a backache when I stand and talk?"

"If you are told to sit and embroider for a few nights, you will definitely kill me." Tao Lian said.

Tao Yao coughed lightly when she heard the words, but couldn't refute.

Tao Lian still understood her.

"I'm tired, I have to go back and rest first." Tao Yao took Lu Jiuyuan's hand and said to the two sisters.

"Then you guys go back quickly, Lian Lian and I are leaving too." Tao Ling said immediately.

"Changqing, then you will escort them back." Lu Jiuyuan turned his head to Gu Changqing and said.

Gu Changqing waved a fan in his hand and smiled softly, "That's natural."

Seeing Tao Yao, she couldn't help but glance at her second sister.

The second sister stood there, her face flushed and charming, to be honest, the second sister and Mr. Gu were a good match.

The second sister is like a well-behaved sheep, but Master Gu is like... a wolf with a big tail.

But fortunately, this big-tailed wolf is sincere to the second sister.

Tao Yao was tired, and on the way back to Duke Lu's mansion, she yawned again and again.

Lu Jiuyuan touched her head and hugged her into his arms, "If you're sleepy, just sleep for a while."

Tao Yao originally wanted to talk to him for a while, but her eyelids were fighting up and down, she couldn't hold it back, and soon fell asleep.

……

The next day, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose a concubine for the prince.

In just a few days, the Ministry of Rites made a picture album of the portraits of the daughters of various prefectures who were waiting to be married, and presented them to the imperial case.

After flipping through it, the emperor suddenly thought of something and looked at Tao Tian.

"Tao Aiqing, I remember that there are many girls in your house, why is there no girl from your Tao family in this album?"

Tao Tian didn't expect that the emperor would think of this, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and stepped forward and said: "Back to the emperor, there are indeed many girls in the minister's mansion, but those who are married are married, and the others are married. I also have a young daughter...but this year I just reached the age of Ji, and because of my confused temper, I think she is not suitable for entering the palace..."

"What is inappropriate? Is Tao Aiqing reluctant?" The emperor saw through his thoughts at a glance.

Tao Tian immediately knelt down, "The emperor calm down, I really don't want her to marry so soon, and I want to keep her in the mansion for another two years..."

"Your Tao family's daughter, I'm the most optimistic, first bring Ling Qianjin into the palace and let me have a look." The emperor said.

Tao Tian frowned imperceptibly, "Isn't it inappropriate to invite the minister's daughter into the palace alone? The left and right princes also have to choose concubines, why not invite all the rich and noble daughters on the roster into the palace?"

"What you said makes sense, so let's do it like this." The emperor nodded in agreement.

……

Tao Tian returned to the mansion with a sad face.

Unexpectedly, he tried his best to prevent Tao Lian from being on the roster, but the emperor had long thought of it.

Seeing him sighing, Mrs. Li asked, "What's the matter, what happened?"

Tao Tian sighed again, and asked, "Where's Lian Lian?"

"Go out to play." Mrs. Li replied.

When Tao Tian heard this, he became even more worried.

His little daughter only knows how to eat, drink and play, she has no scheming at all, if she is allowed to enter the palace, what will happen in the future?
"What's the matter?" Seeing that his brows were tightly furrowed, Mrs. Li also frowned.

Tao Tian had no choice but to repeat what the emperor said in the imperial study.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li felt bad all over.

She swayed and sat down on the chair, "How did this happen? How did you become a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and why did you ask Lian Lian to do such a thing?"

Tao Tian frowned, "An official below put Lian Lian on the roster, I erased it, but the emperor remembered it."

"Then what should we do now, our pity can't enter the palace." Li Shi said.

"What else can I do? The emperor has already called the roll call." Tao Tian sighed helplessly.

When Mrs. Li heard this, she frowned.

Tao Tian thought for a while, and said: "In two days, the Imperial Palace will hold a lotus appreciation banquet, and invite the rich and noble daughters of various prefectures to enter the palace, Lian Lian is also invited, this matter is inevitable.

At that time, we can only let this girl mix in, don't show off, and try not to attract the attention of the emperor and prince. "

The husband and wife were discussing the countermeasures when suddenly Tao Lian walked in from the outside.

She touched her itchy nose and muttered: "Hey, who is talking about me behind my back?" After speaking, she saw her parents sitting in the hall, "Dad, why did you come back so early today? "

Looking at the innocent and lovely daughter, the couple looked at each other and sighed again in their hearts.

"Lian Lian, come here, we have something to tell you." Li Shi suppressed the melancholy in her heart and waved to her.

Tao Lian walked over according to her words, "Father, mother, what's the matter?"

"In two days, the imperial palace will hold a lotus appreciation banquet, and you will enter the palace to participate." Li said.

"Lotus Appreciation Banquet? You invited me?" Tao Lian was surprised.
