Chapter 10 Accompanying
The arrival of the cousin of the Shen family added a lot of vigor and vitality to Prince An's Mansion.

Although there were only three people here, cousin Shen Jing, and two little cousins ​​Shen Fang and Shen Qiang, but counting the servants, maids, and mothers-in-law brought by each of them—and the excitement is usually not one plus one. It is equal to two, but increases geometrically.The three women chattered together, and the excitement was as lively as a vegetable market.

Xiaodong just felt a little strange.

The three members of the Shen family didn't seem to be as simple as just visiting and leaving.If you just come to drop by, you don't need to bring so much luggage.Moreover, it seems that the reception specifications of Prince An's Mansion are also different. If you only stay for a few days, is it worth asking the manager of Fuda to open the warehouse to find household utensils?

Early in the morning, Zhao Lu came to Xiaodong's place. Xiaodong only wore a jacket and shorts, and was still lying in bed.

"elder brother."

He should go to school too, why is he still at home.

"I'm here to say goodbye to my sister and go to school."

Xiaodong thought for a while and asked, "Cousin and the others, are you staying at our house?"

Zhao Lu said with a smile: "Brother Shen Jing is here to study with me, so naturally he will stay longer."

Xiaodong blinked and blinked. Although she couldn't ask many questions due to her age, otherwise it would definitely make people feel shocked, but she looked at people like this, with an expression of eagerness for knowledge, Zhao Lu couldn't help stretching out her hands and rubbing her eyes. Rubbing her small face made Xiaodong get impatient and began to scratch him, so he reluctantly withdrew his hand.

"Of course the two cousins ​​are here to keep my sister company." Zhao Lu said, "Father is not at home, and I have to go to school again. My sister is so lonely at home alone. So when my father wrote to Hedong last time, he wrote After mentioning this matter, of course the two cousins ​​came here specially to play with Xiaodong."

play with?

Xiaodong pursed her lips and smiled at the silly brother.

Uh, is she thinking wrong?

Just now she thought—could these two cousins ​​from the Shen family, who were here to accompany her in name, actually came to accompany her brother, what were they thinking about?There are too many things about cousins ​​changing into in-laws this year. It is said that it is easy to cook with firewood and fire, and cousins ​​are easy to be relatives.

This is not impossible, it just kills two birds with one stone.

Brother, what a good candidate for a son-in-law. In the future, he will definitely be a prince, and he will be the king of the county if he is lowered.There are no other brothers, only a sister like myself, which can be ignored.There is no mother-in-law at the top, and the population is so simple that it can't be more simple. When you marry in, you can be the master of your own house, and Zhao Lu is smart and treats others well. There is really nowhere to find such a good marriage with a lantern. Who doesn't want it? .

Xiaodong couldn't help hugging Zhao Lu's waist and whispered, "Brother."

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Zhao Lu hugged his sister back with a smile on his face.

For some reason, Xiaodong felt sore when he thought of his brother marrying a wife.

Even if it wasn't for the two cousins ​​from the Shen family, my brother would definitely marry a girl from another family.

But Xiaodong just felt uncomfortable and reluctant.

At that time, this stupid brother will become someone else's stupid husband, um, he will also become a stupid father, right?At that time, he had his own wife and children, and he would definitely dote on his children like this...

"My brother will always love me..."

Zhao Lu didn't know why his younger sister suddenly said such words, but he grinned wide, narrowed his eyes, and patted her on the shoulder: "Of course, brother will love Xiaodong forever."

This sentence was like a panacea, and Xiaodong’s worry about gain and loss was healed instantly, and he asked curiously, “Brother, when am I going to study?”

Zhao Lu said: "Well, Xiaodong, you are still young, and you will have to study for another two years, so don't be impatient."

Xiao Dongxin said that I am not in a hurry, I have been studying for so many years in my previous life, and I have traveled to this place before I can apply what I have learned.Unexpectedly, after wearing it, I have to go to school.

"Will it take a long time to study?"

Zhao Lu smiled and wanted to rub her little face, but Xiaodong dodged vigilantly.

"I want to go to Xiaodong to get married in the future." Zhao Lu said with a smile: "Princess Heyang means that she will not go to school after marriage."

Princess Heyang?who is it?
Mrs. Hu came in with tea, and said with a smile, "Princess Heyang? Why did your son think of her?"

Zhao Lu answered the wrong question: "My sister said she wants to go to school."

Nonsense, she never said she wanted to go to school.

Mrs. Hu said: "The Princess don't need to be anxious. By this time next year, it will be almost the same. I remember that Princess Heyang started school at the age of five, and the Princess will be five years old next year. Although it is still early, there are Princess Heyang’s example is the first, so it’s nothing.”

ah?Xiaodong was surprised.Go to school so early?Children are not determined, how can they sit still.

"The prince should go out, otherwise he will miss the morning class, and the master will punish him."

Zhao Lu stuck out his tongue and hurried away.

After soaking her hands in hot water, Mrs. Hu put on shoes and socks for Xiaodong, and twisted a hot towel to wipe her face.

The maid outside said, "Miss Shen is here."

The two cousins ​​didn't have time to take a closer look at Xiaodong yesterday. Firstly, they were tired from the journey, and secondly——

That Mrs. Ming was there yesterday, and Xiaodong doesn't like her.

She said something yesterday, and Xiao Dong didn't really like the meaning of that word.

She said: "The two girls just need to stay at ease. The princess is young and has no playmates. Although the two and the princess are not close relatives, they are better than close relatives..."

What you said is...remarkable.

When she said this, Xiaodong secretly looked at the expressions of the others.The two girls of the Shen family were considered juniors in front of Mrs. Ming, they both lowered their faces and didn't see any reaction. Her nanny Hu Shi was a little nervous, so she took a look at Xiaodong first.

In fact, Xiaodong already understood.

She and Zhao Lu were not born by the same mother, from Zhao Lu's address, from the words of the servants in the palace...

Zhao Lu's mother is the first concubine of King An, her surname is Shen, and she was born in the Shen family in Hedong, so whether it is Shen Jing, Shen Fang or Shen Qiang who came here this time, they are all blood relatives of Zhao Lu, not hers.

Her maiden name is Yao.

Once when Hu and Hongling Hongying were talking, they mentioned what happened to Princess Shen first, and what happened to Princess Yao.

She had known it for a long time, and it was no secret.

But when Mrs. Ming said this, it was inevitable that people would think that she had some deep meaning.

Shen Fang was tall and handsome, with a layer of rouge lightly swept across her face, like a peach halo in March.Shen Qiang was younger, but she was about the same age as the sixth princess Xiao Dong had seen, her eyes were bright and shrewd, and she was full of ghost ideas at first glance.

"Sister Xiaodong."

Xiaodong smiled and called, "Sister Fang, Sister Qiang."

Mrs. Hu was braiding Xiaodong's hair, Shen Qiang came over and shaved her face with a smile: "Little lazy cat, is she ashamed? It's only now that I get up."

Mrs. Hu greeted: "Two girls, please sit down, Hongying, and pour some tea."

She has quick hands and feet, and has already braided Xiaodong's hair, took out two small silver butterfly clips from the makeup box, and pinned them on her hair, one on the left and the other on the right.The butterfly wings are hollowed out and made extremely light and thin. When Xiao Dong moves, the wings and whiskers of the butterfly on his head tremble, as if they were alive.
