Chapter 1299: Beware
Qiao Xiaoru understood what the princess meant when she heard it, and when Lu Zhan came back in the evening, she talked about the trip to Xingyuan in the spring of the day after tomorrow, and also mentioned a few words to him in passing.
Lu Zhan didn't think about it so much, hugged his daughter-in-law and smiled: "She is not likable, and her daughter-in-law doesn't like her, isn't it just right that she doesn't go?" Save yourself from hanging in front of your daughter-in-law and making your daughter-in-law angry. β
Qiao Xiaoru laughed, glanced at him and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's right that you don't understand the twists and turns of these women's minds, well, I'll remind you, maybe there will be any accidents the day after tomorrow, in short, you accompany King Yanqi to be more careful, don't let people calculate, and don't let King Yanqi be calculated." β
King Yanqi has always lived in the palace of Zhongxin County, and Lu Zhan is in charge of greeting him, if something happens to him, Lu Zhan will not be able to get out of it anyway.
Lu Zhan smiled: "Okay, don't worry, daughter-in-law, I will be careful." Since that's the case, so do you, I think Mei Zhen is not very friendly to you and the crown princess, and you should guard against her from doing bad. β
This is also something that Lu Zhan can't understand, if you want to say that Concubine Mei and the crown princess are not compatible, after all, both of them are the prince's women. But what's wrong with his daughter-in-law getting in her way? Yin his daughter-in-law several times, if it weren't for his daughter-in-law being powerful enough, if he hadn't said something in front of the prince, there might be many more moths.
On the one hand, she wants to recognize her brother and let herself be her help and backer, but on the other hand, she dislikes her daughter-in-law and wants to kick his daughter-in-law away from her - is there such a cheap thing in the world?
Qiao Xiaoru said with a smile: "Originally, I only planned to take Mangosteen and Xiaoxue there, so it seems that it would be better to let Mama Xun, Xiaoxue and Xiaoshuang go with me the day after tomorrow!" β
Now that the Hou Mansion is in charge of its own house, it is much better than when it was in the Eldest Princess's Mansion Yihetang.
Although the eldest princess's mother-in-law assigned several people to come over, it couldn't be the climate.
There are mangosteen, star fruit and Jing Mama waiting, and I don't think anyone will dare to do anything to Little Moon.
Lu Zhan was relieved when he heard her say this.
In a blink of an eye, it was this day, and after breakfast, Qiao Xiaoru hugged her daughter and teased her for a while, handed her over to Mangosteen and others, and after a few words, she set off with Lu Zhan and King Yanqi.
Qiao Xiaoru rode in a carriage with four masters and servants, Lu Zhan and King Yanqi rode horses, and more than 20 guards surrounded them.
When he arrived at Chunxing Garden, the host's prince had not yet come - this is the usual practice, the prince, no matter what the occasion, as long as the emperor and queen do not appear, he will be the last to appear as the finale, even if it is his place.
Everyone is used to it.
Concubine Mei was also not there, and the two male and female stewards of the East Palace were responsible for directing the people to greet and greet the guests.
Lu Zhan had a good relationship with the prince, and arrived earlier than others, and the group walked into the main courtyard, Aunt Zhang led Qiao Xiaoru to the east flower hall, and Lu Zhan and King Yanqi went to the main hall with Gonggong Li.
It is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, the flowers are red and willow green, under the warm spring sun, the air is filled with the slightly drunk fragrance of flowers, looking out from the leaky window, the spring light is melting, the flowers are gorgeous, and it is pleasing to the eye.
Not long after, the eldest princess Li also came.
Hearing the voice, Qiao Xiaoru withdrew her gaze and greeted her with a smile.
greeted each other politely, and they still entered the flower hall together.
"This place is really good, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really an elegant person! It's a pity that the crown princess is pregnant but it is inconvenient to come, otherwise it will be more lively! Li Shi glanced out the window and said with a smile.
Qiao Xiaoru responded with a smile.
Li smiled again and asked how the crown princess was doing?
Although I was thinking about the crown princess in my heart, I was afraid that it would affect her rest, and I didn't go over from time to time. I originally planned to go there in two days, cousin, you have always been close to the crown princess, ask you and we can rest assured! β
Qiao Xiaoru smiled and said: "I also went to the East Palace a few days ago, and the grandmothers and doctors in the palace pay attention to their diet and daily life, they are experienced and take good care of the princess, and the princess is also in good spirits!" β
"That's good! The royal family has not had a happy event for a long time, and everyone is looking forward to the crown princess getting a man in one fell swoop and adding joy! Li clasped his hands together and said with a very reverent smile.
Qiao Xiaoru is not the spokesperson of the crown princess, so she refuses to say anything more, so she just smiles and agrees.
The two of them were talking without saying a word, when they suddenly heard a giggle, and when they looked up, they saw Xiao Min, Fu Yuan, and the third princess, Concubine Ji, as well as the third prince, the fourth prince, and the second young master Xiao entered the courtyard together.
Both of them couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Shi frowned, a trace of disgust crossed his eyes, and said with a smile: "This is a coincidence, why are the Xiao family brothers and sisters and Miss Fu Er also here?" β
The Li family has declined a lot, and the military generals are not good at management, and the Li family's maiden brothers are living quite poorly, especially disgusted with the Xiao family, which she calls the nouveau riche.
Qiao Xiaoru didn't respond to Li's words, but her heart was full of joy: Why is it the Xiao family again? That brother and sister are not enough, plus a Fu Yuan?
Thinking of the words sent by the crown princess to remind her, although Qiao Xiaoru didn't know what would happen today, there would definitely be an accident.
With the Xiao family brothers and sisters and Fu Yuan here, it is difficult to think of no accidents!
However, why did Concubine Mei expect something to happen and avoid it in advance? Did she know something by accident orβ
Qiao Xiaoru's heart sank, and she was a little uncontrollably confused.
She was a little afraid to think about it.
Because that thought in my heart is so ridiculous!
Concubine Mei is not a fool, no matter how bad she is, there is no reason to cooperate with Concubine Xiao and the Xiao family.
After all, she is the prince's side concubine, and in the future, when the prince ascends the throne, with the degree of favor she is and the affection of her childhood sweetheart, sooner or later there will be a concubine.
She collaborated with the Xiao family? What is the figure?
Before Qiao Xiaoru was in a good mood, the Ji family had already led Xiao Min and Fu Yuan in, and the third prince, the fourth prince and the second young master Xiao went to the main hall.
Qiao Xiaoru then remembered, cough, it seems that the pair of strange sisters with red fragrance and green jade are missing from the side of Second Young Master Xiao, and I don't know what happened to the pair of sisters who thought they were noble.
"Three brothers and sisters! Amin, Ayuan, you are here too! Although the Li family didn't want to see the Xiao family and others, they greeted each other with a smile very cordially.
Qiao Xiaoru couldn't help but glance at her, and said in her heart that she was a sister-in-law, why was she in a hurry to speak? Behind the scenes, she was dissatisfied, but when she met, she subconsciously showed a little stuttering, no wonder no one in the Xiao family took her seriously.
Qiao Xiaoru also stepped forward to greet Ji, and only nodded to Xiao Min and Fu Yuan.
Xiao Minliu raised his eyebrows and was about to have a seizure, but Ji smiled and said: "I thought we came early, but who knew that my sister-in-law and cousin-in-law were earlier, but I was left behind, so I'm embarrassed." β
