Chapter 314 Meeting the Seventh Princess for the First Time
Her little maidservant, however, did not dare to say a word. She just listened to her master complaining while she herself obediently cleaned up the debris on the ground.
Perhaps it was His Majesty's mercy that the Royal Concubine and Lady Yue were allowed to see their families once before their departure, as an exception.
On the side of Marquis Dingguo's Mansion, it was naturally Marquis Dingguo's wife Xiao who came in person, and this time, she also brought someone with her.
But what Song Qingyan didn't expect was that this person was not one of her sisters-in-law, but her second aunt Guo Yu.
After the two of them respectfully greeted Song Qingyan.
Song Qingyan gave him a seat.
Xiao sat down.
But Guo Yu just walked forward, then knelt down with a plop.
This actually scared Song Qingyan. Although she didn't like this second aunt, it was indeed not easy for her over the years.
Because I understand how difficult it is for her, I can't really say that I hate her.
So she hurriedly stood up to help her up, but Guo Yu insisted on kneeling there and said, "I apologize to the Imperial Concubine and the Crown Prince on behalf of my brother."
A few days ago, I heard that my eldest brother and his family were banished to a small county town in the west. I heard that the small county town is where the eldest brother of the first branch of the family is stationed with troops.
It is bitterly cold.
For this matter, she asked her husband and the eldest brother of the first wife for help, but she never got a clear answer.
Finally, after meeting his elder brother, Guo Yu felt relieved.
Ever since my eldest brother became the Minister of Revenue, he has been in a state of anxiety. He looks very serious all day long, as if he is always on guard against enemies.
After being demoted, the eldest brother seemed to relax a lot.
Although she didn't understand the reason, seeing that her sister-in-law and niece looked very calm, she suddenly let it go.
So when she heard that her sister-in-law could enter the palace, she immediately asked to go in with her.
Xiao couldn't refuse her, after all, they were family, so she nodded and agreed.
Guo Yu's purpose of entering the palace was very simple, which was to apologize.
Song Qingyan had not expected this, so she stepped forward and helped Guo Yu up: "Second Aunt, don't think too much. This is the decision of His Majesty. I can't make any decision."
"But if he goes there in the future, Yueshao will suffer." Thinking of Guo Yueshao, Song Qingyan finally felt a little distressed.
Such a child who was raised in Beijing with wealth and luxury is going to suffer there.
Guo Yu shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I went back to the Guo family a few days ago and saw that my sister-in-law and Yue Shao had already accepted the matter calmly. Yue Shao looks spoiled, but in fact, she is the most hardworking child."
Song Qingyan naturally said nothing more, but instructed Guo Yu again to make sure that Yue Shao, as a girl, must protect her own safety in such a place.
Seeing Guo Yu finish his words and sit down, Xiao finally got the chance to speak: "Where is Princess Yong'an?"
Only then did Song Qingyan notice that Wanwan was not in the hall.
Then he smiled and said, "I guess he went out to play."
"Mother doesn't know, Wanwan is very active now. She asks Jinxin and Jinyu to take her for a walk in the garden every day!"
Lu Xingwan did go to play in the garden.
And he happened to meet Concubine Wen and the Seventh Princess who were playing there.
Looking from afar in the direction of Concubine Wen and the Seventh Princess, Lu Xingwan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
[No wonder people say that sometimes blood relations are not necessarily blood relations. Seeing the Seventh Princess now by Concubine Wen's side, she is much happier than before.]
【Wow, a swing. 】
As soon as Lu Xingwan saw the swing, his eyes lit up and he ran towards it.
Just when I was about to reach the swing, a little kid in front of me blocked my way.
It was the seventh princess Lu Xingyan.
Lu Xingyan is not very tall.
I don’t know if she was too short or Lu Xingwan was too tall, but the two children, who were two or three years apart in age, were only half a head apart in height.
At this time, Lu Xingyan looked at the lovely Lu Xingwan in front of him, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward, hugged her head, and kissed her on the face.
Lu Xingwan took two steps back and sat down on the ground.
Jinyu suppressed her smile and walked forward to help her own princess up, while Concubine Wen and the serving maid also hurried over.
"Is Wanwan okay?" Concubine Wen asked with concern.
When the Seventh Princess saw Concubine Wen, she smiled widely, "Mother, my sister is Xiangxiang."
Lu Xingwan looked at the person in front of him speechlessly, and actually felt a little bit of disgust in his heart.
[A nice guy suddenly kisses someone on the street. ]
[I didn't know, so I thought this was a child raised by some rich and powerful young man! ]
As if she could see the unhappiness on Lu Xingwan's face, the Seventh Princess reached out to hold Lu Xingwan's hand again, but Lu Xingwan dodged her hand.
Concubine Wen looked at Lu Xingwan's reluctant look and thought that she was so adorable looking like a little adult.
The Seventh Princess naturally didn't notice her little emotion, so she walked up to her, took her little hand, and walked towards the swing.
This time Lu Xingwan finally did not reject her.
[For the sake of Concubine Wen, I will let you hold this fairy's hand! ]
In fact, Lu Xingwan really longed for this swing.
Finally, with Jinyu's help, she sat on the swing and Lu Xingwan couldn't help but giggle.
The seventh princess standing aside clapped her hands joyfully and giggled along.
Concubine Wen looked at the two children in front of her and felt her heart was filled with joy.
But this rare happy moment is always broken.
The person who broke this scene today was the clueless Lu Xinghui.
The Sixth Princess has become much more obedient since being punished by her father.
Although she had only been copying the scriptures for less than ten days, even these few days were enough to drive her crazy.
After returning to Jinxiu Palace, Lu Xinghui's knees hurt so much that she couldn't get out of bed for several days. Only today when she felt a little better did she think about going out for a walk.
I wanted to avoid the crowd.
But when she saw Lu Xingwan's happy face, she got angry.
She regretted why she had not suffocated her to death when she was just born.
It's all over now.
But after all, he was someone who had just been punished, so Lu Xinghui would not act too exaggerated, and would not show any hostility towards Lu Xingwan.
He just went up to greet them politely, and then looked at his two sisters with joy: "It turns out that the seventh and ninth sisters are playing here. I can hear the children's voices from far away!"
Lu Xing said this in a flattering manner.
After Lu Xingwan came to the great Chu State and experienced so much, he naturally would never believe that a bad person could turn good again.
Lu Xinghui's previous actions clearly showed that he was a complete villain.
Now that he is trying to please me like this, there must be something bad going on.
