Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 464 Conjecture
Hearing that there are gifts for good performance, the eldest prince nodded immediately, expressing that he would be obedient.

"My lord, Concubine Lu Hui is here with the eldest princess." Outside the palace, the voice of the palace servants' reply came, and Su Qingning responded, ordering them to come in.

Today is the birthday of the two princes, and I know that the eldest princess will definitely come.

After the pilgrimage, Concubine Hui did not stay. One was to go back to the palace to change clothes, and the other was to bring gifts with the eldest princess.

Not long after, Concubine Hui brought the eldest princess into the palace. Behind the two of them, there was a palace man carrying a tray with gifts on it.

Yue Ling stood up and greeted Concubine Hui when Concubine Hui brought the Eldest Princess to salute.

"Get up quickly, just Hao'er is still thinking about the gift, so you will bring it to your door." Greeting the mother and daughter to get up, Su Qingning looked at the tray in the palace man's hand. There were four gifts on it. Prepared by the princess.

"Today is the birthday of the two princes. Naturally, I should prepare presents. Not only me, Huier also prepared presents." She smiled and Concubine Hui looked at Yue Ling, "Mrs. Get up, you are pregnant, just sit down and talk."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Hui took the Eldest Princess and sat on the seat above Yueling. This was reserved on purpose before, and Su Qingning had long thought that the two of them would come to Fengyang Palace.

Yue Ling responded and sat down again. The first prince and the second prince moved closer to Concubine Hui and the eldest princess, wanting to see their presents.

"Go open the presents with your younger brothers." Seeing the Eldest Princess looking at her, Concubine Hui said with a smile, the Eldest Princess responded and took the two princes aside.

Yue Ling also prepared a gift. She had thought that after entering the palace, she would be left behind, so she brought the gift with her.

However, unlike Concubine Hui and the eldest princess, she packed the gift in something, after all it was inconvenient to hold it like that.

Seeing the two princes and the eldest princess unwrapping presents together, she sat down for the time being and was not in a hurry to take out the presents, anyway, she was not in a hurry.

In the northwest border pass, Shen Xiao sat listlessly on the horse.

When playing cards yesterday, because he lost too many times and drank a lot of cold water, he kept getting up all night last night and didn't sleep well at all.

Early this morning, before breakfast, I patrolled the barracks and set up defenses with Gu Sheng. I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach right now.

"Are you okay?" Seeing him listless, Gu Sheng asked with concern, a little worried.

In the middle of playing last night, she saw that Shen Xiao and Uncle Shen both drank a lot of cold water, so she suggested a different method, such as posting notes or something.

However, both of them were stubborn and refused to say anything. As a result, until the end, the two of them had no chance to make a comeback.

This morning, she heard that Uncle Shen's yard was not quiet last night, and thought that Shen Xiao could be stronger, but she didn't expect it to be the same.

"I'm fine, let's go on patrolling. We'll go back after we're done patrolling these places." After waving his hands, Shen Xiao wasn't hungry at all. He felt that his stomach was still filled with cold water.

Seeing him like this, Gu Sheng shook his head helplessly. She reckoned that Shen Xiao might be a little bloated because he drank too much cold water, especially since he didn't eat breakfast and didn't have anything hot, his stomach must be unbearable. of.

However, today is the first day of the new year, and the stalls in the city have not come out, so it is not easy to find something warm for him to eat.

After walking a certain distance, Gu Sheng reined in his horse and asked Shen Xiao to wait for him. Although Shen Xiao was puzzled, he still listened to her.

Gu Sheng left on horseback, and after a while, he came back with a bowl of hot dumpling soup.

"Nothing else, anyway, a hot drink is better than nothing."

Gu Sheng knew that Shen Xiao drank a lot of cold water yesterday, but the more so, the more he should have something in his stomach now.

There were two more dumplings in the dumpling soup, which were specially placed in it. Shen Xiao looked at her and saw that she insisted, so he had to take the bowl over, drank the soup, and ate up the dumplings inside.

After taking the bowl, Gu Sheng gave the bowl back to someone, "Go on, there's not much left, go back when you're done walking, eat something first, and then get some sleep."

After she came back, she told Shen Xiao to drink some hot soup, and her stomach seemed to feel better. Shen Xiao responded and inspected this section with her, and then went back to the General's Mansion together.

In the Yuan Mansion in Dayuan, Chu Yurou has been thinking about going back since she woke up in the morning. She passed her [-]th day in Yuan Mansion yesterday, and now she is halfway through the first day of the new year, so she should go back.

"Miss Chu, after lunch, I'll send someone to take you and Zixiao back home." Seemingly seeing her thoughts, Qingxin smiled and said so, which made Chu Yurou heave a sigh of relief.

After lunch at noon, Chu Yurou and Zi Xiao headed home in the Yuan Mansion's carriage.

On the carriage, there were some things that Chu Yurou had put on purely, but Chu Yurou didn't want them at all, but seeing what she meant, if she didn't want to accept them, they wouldn't let people prepare the carriage, so Chu Yurou had no choice but to accept them.

The carriage stopped in front of the courtyard gate, and the two got out of the carriage, moved their things into the courtyard, and watched the carriage leave, Chu Yurou ordered Zixiao to close the gate.

"Miss, I'm still at home. For some reason, when I was in Yuan Mansion, I always felt uncomfortable." When I lived in Yuan Mansion before, I didn't feel this way. Followed Chu Yurou and said.

"I also feel uncomfortable, that's why I want to leave. For some reason, I always feel a little weird when I get along with that Mr. Yuan." Frowning slightly, Chu Yurou said her thoughts.

"Miss, what is the identity of that Young Master Yuan?" Zi Xiao could see the magnificence of the Yuan Mansion, and she followed Chu Yurou out of the palace.

"This is Dayuan. His surname is Yuan. I'm afraid he is a nobleman of the royal family of Dayuan. If he can't be sure, he is a prince or something." The adult princes, except for the prince, will go to the fief. Chu Yurou guessed that maybe this place is the prince Yuan. fief.

If so, it would be easy to explain why he helped him escape from the embroidery workshop.

No matter how great the official is, he is no bigger than the relatives of the emperor. The embroidery workshop knows his identity and dare not provoke him.

"Prince?" Zi Xiao was a little surprised. She thought about it carefully, and her heart became more and more uneasy, "Miss, if he is a prince, why does he treat us like this? Not to mention saving us from the side of the road, he also helped us. In time, I sent a lot of things, and let us go to his house for the New Year."

In Zixiao's heart, she had some vague guesses, but she didn't dare to say it out. She looked at her master. Although she had been away from the palace for a long time and had been traveling around outside for a long time, her appearance was still very beautiful.

Could it be that Mr. Yuan has taken a fancy to their young lady?
