Chapter 33 Untitled

In the evening, Zhao Lu really described to King An the fight he saw during the day: "...the Xue family made the move first, and the people in the Prince's Mansion of Lan County were very measured. They looked like they were fighting, but they didn't actually greet the vital parts , when they left, two people had to carry it..."

There was no expression on Wang An's face, as gentle as ever.

Xiaodong leaned on King An's knee, looked at King An, and then at Zhao Lu.

Wang An gently stroked her hair, and when Zhao Lu finished speaking, he asked Xiaodong, "Are the peach blossoms beautiful?"

Xiaodong nodded: "Looks good...the butterfly kite is lost."

Zhao Lu hurriedly said: "Someone looked for it, but they didn't find it. Maybe someone else picked it up. Tomorrow, I will ask someone to buy a bigger and better-looking kite. Let's fly it in the garden, okay?"

Wang An smiled and said, "If you want to talk about kites, you don't need to go out and buy them. I remember that there are two gardeners in the mansion. The kites they make are better than those bought."

Zhao Lu was puzzled: "Father even knows such small things at home?"

Wang An also touched his smooth forehead: "Okay, you guys go."

Zhao Lu came out holding Xiaodong's hand, saw her yawn, and asked in a low voice, "Sister played for a long time today, are you tired?"

Xiaodong nodded honestly.

Zhao Lu sent her back to Yufang Pavilion, and walked back slowly by himself.The servant girl behind him knew that he was thinking about something, so he didn't follow closely.

Zhao Lu was thinking about what King An had said to him just now.

Why did the Prince Lan's Mansion hold hands against the members of the Xue family?Is it just because there are few people and weak strength?

not necessarily.

Is that afraid of the Xue family?

No, it's not.

What power does the Xue family have?It's just taking advantage of the Chen family's power.And even if they and the Xue family lost both sides today, the Chen family might not be willing to make such a move.Even if the Lan County Prince's Mansion is dilapidated and unpopular among the clan, it is still the County Prince's Mansion after all.

Moreover, if the people of Lan County Prince's Mansion were really afraid of the Xue family, where would they fight in the first place?Can't we just avoid it?

Thinking of this, he vaguely understood the key point that his father wanted him to think about, and stopped involuntarily.

Although I still can't think through it, but combined with my own deduction and thinking about what Wang An mentioned about him just now, Zhao Lu felt that he seemed to have lifted a layer of veil over the fight during the day, which seemed accidental and ordinary. When you think about it carefully, everything is not accidental, and it is not ordinary at all.

He stood there in a daze for a while, Xiao Tang walked a few steps closer, and reminded in a low voice: "My lord, it's getting late, if you don't go back, Mama Qi should come out and look for us."

Zhao Lu grunted, and then walked forward slowly.

Xiao Tang followed suit.

He felt that Shizi seemed to be growing up every day, becoming calmer and more dignified every day——

Xiao Tang felt both joyful and a little apprehensive.

Promising sons, of course they only have benefits.

However, I have to work harder and be smarter and more capable than before. Otherwise, if the son is striding forward and he can't keep up, wouldn't he be abandoned?
After Shen Qiang washed her face, she lingered on Xiaodong's place with her hair loose.Mrs. Hu smiled and said: "Then Miss Qiang and the princess should sleep together tonight, but they can't talk to each other. If anyone can't get up tomorrow morning, they won't be given breakfast."

Shen Qiang agreed crisply, and got under the quilt with a smile.

After Shen Fang left, she often came over to talk to Xiaodong from time to time, and sometimes stayed to sleep with her.

During the day, there is still talking and laughing, but at night, when the surroundings are quiet, it is inevitable to feel lonely and lonely.Although there are maids by her side, they can't listen to her after all.

Xiaodong's hair was scattered on the pillow, and his eyes blinked flickeringly.

I was quite sleepy just now, but I couldn't fall asleep when I lay down.Listening to Shen Qiang complaining in a low voice that the weather in the capital is colder than that in the east of the river, that the things she bought today were not satisfactory, and what Yao Jinfeng said today...

Shen Qiang turned over, rested her cheeks on her hands and stared blankly for a while, then whispered: "I don't know if Sister Fang has fallen asleep right now."

Xiaodong thought, it depends on whether the fourth princess sleeps or not.He should probably go to sleep, because there is a fixed number of waxes, oils, lamps and candles in the palace, and depending on the situation, Shen Fang must not have a lot of money, so if there is something to do, he will rush to do it during the day, so as not to be troubled at night.

"When we were at home, I often went to sleep with her at night. But I had to avoid the nanny, otherwise they would talk endlessly. Once Sister Fang caught a cold and coughed, I went anyway, but the first time The next day I also coughed and had a fever, and my mother gave me a good meal..."

Xiaodong was very envious.Although Shen Fang and Shen Qiang are only cousins, they have a very good relationship.

In her life, she only had a silly brother like Zhao Lu, and she had no real sisters.As far as cousins ​​are concerned, the princesses in the palace are.But the relationship is really as far away as possible-let alone with her, those princesses are all in harmony with each other.

Sleepiness gradually increased, Shen Qiang's voice was already low, but now it sounded even more erratic.Suddenly Xiaodong heard: "I heard that the Empress Dowager's illness..."

Xiaodong was quick-witted and became more sober: "The Empress Dowager has recovered from her illness."

But still looked sickly, haggard too scary.Xiaodong didn't know what disease caused her to be like this, but from a distance, she only felt that she was old and weak.

Although there are two empress dowagers, if you usually only say the word "empress dowager", it usually refers to the empress dowager Shengde, as if the empress dowager Shengci is not so legitimate after all.

Shen Qiang shook her head, leaned over and whispered to Xiaodong: "I don't know, I just overheard someone saying that the Queen Mother's body has collapsed, and now she is just holding on..."

"Don't talk about that." Xiaodong listened carefully to the movement outside the tent, Hu and the others should be outside.

"I know, you can't talk nonsense, so I'll just tell you." Shen Qiang's voice was so low that only Xiao Dong could hear: "Well, Empress Dowager Shengde is almost sixty... ...The old lady is getting old, so her bones are naturally weak..."

Also, the Empress Dowager Shengde is much older than the Empress Dowager Shengci, even if she takes care of her, time will not forgive her.

But she didn't care too much about Empress Dowager Shengde, after all - in her heart, Empress Dowager Shengci was closer, that was her real grandmother.

Lie down and talk easily, Shen Qiang got up secretly and poured two cups of tea, and handed a cup to Xiao Dong.

Xiaodong only dares to moisten her lips, but she is not afraid of drinking too much—if she really drinks too much and cannot control herself, she is not willing to go out to meet people with the reputation of bedwetting, after all, her body is still a child now, and her control ability is not very strong.

"Next time you enter the palace... If it's convenient, can you take me with you? I really miss Sister Fang."

Shen Qiang's voice was pitiful, but Xiaodong couldn't help it.It was easy to bring her in, but every time she entered the palace on the ninth day of the lunar new year, not all the ninth day princesses would have time to spare, if they went to class, Shen Qiang would not be able to see Shen Fang either.

At night she had a dream. In the dream, there were a large number of peach blossoms in full bloom, as bright as clouds.Xiaodong wandered around among the flowers, but couldn't find a way out.

Suddenly she woke up with a start, feeling a warm tide spreading around her.

Damn it, could it be that she really... Xiaodong really wanted to bang her head on the bed rail——

etc!Her little clothes and pants are not wet!It was the mattress that was wet, not the area under her.

Shen Qiang has also woken up, and with the light coming in from outside, Xiaodong can see her eyes widening and a mournful face.

Xiaodong really doesn't know what expression to use to face her...

——Shen Qiang, unexpectedly, she wet the bed...

The two of them looked at each other, Xiaodong really didn't expect that Shen Qiang, who was already so old, would still...

Dazed for a while, Shen Qiang suddenly grabbed Xiaodong's hand, and said with tears in her eyes, "Sister Xiaodong, you must save me!"

The alarm bell rang in Xiaodong's heart, and he looked at her warily: "What do you want to do?"
