The charming girl

Shen Xiulan was slightly startled and smiled awkwardly.

For a moment, he didn't forget to look in the direction Su Yuyi left, as if he was afraid that she would bump into something.

Fortunately, Su Yuyi didn't seem to notice anything strange behind her, and walked in calmly under the guidance of the maid.

Shen Xiulan relaxed a little, moved closer to Yao Jinshuang, lowered her voice and asked: "Princess, how did you go about what you said?"

Yao Jinshuang glared at her, but with a smile on her face, "What's the rush? I have my own arrangements. You just need to do as I say later, and I will arrange everything."

Shen Xiulan breathed a sigh of relief, and the nails that gripped her palms relaxed a little.

As the guests entered, they came to the old princess one after another and met with her.

The old princess usually dressed lightly, but today she rarely wore a royal green robe embroidered with dark gold threads. The collar was also trimmed with a circle of black fox fur, making her look solemn and kind.

At this time, the old princess was sitting in the main hall, with a slightly sad face on weekdays. It was rare for her to smile at this time.

Su Yuyi walked up to the old princess, relaxed slightly, and said with a slow smile: "Congratulations to the princess for her longevity and longevity."

The old princess also smiled and seemed to be in a good mood, "With your words, I can happily eat two more bowls of rice today."

The corners of Su Yuyi's lips raised slightly, "It is my blessing to make the birthday girl happy."

Hearing this, the old princess smiled even deeper, and there were a few more lines at the corners of her eyes. She pulled her and talked affectionately for a long time.

While the two were chatting and laughing, Yao Jinshuang came in from the door.

Seeing this scene, the coldness in her eyes flashed across her eyes, her steps speeded up unconsciously, and she was in front of the two of them before she knew it.

Yao Jinshuang pretended to smile calmly at Su Yuyi, "Mrs. Xie, I have something to say to the princess alone. I wonder if you can step out of the way?"

A look of slight surprise flashed across Su Yu's face.

But Yao Jinshuang took the initiative to say this, so she naturally had no reason not to agree.

Therefore, Su Yuyi smiled and said: "I happen to be a little tired, so I will go over there for a walk. The empress and the princess will chat first, and I will leave first."

The old princess nodded lovingly, "Go."

Seeing Su Yuyi's leaving figure, the old princess became distracted unconsciously, but the love in her eyes was undisguised.

"Aunt, what are you looking at?" Yao Jinshuang felt a little unhappy, but still lowered her voice and approached the old princess and asked.

The old princess sighed, as if she was infinitely melancholy, "If my little Xia'er is still alive, she should be as beautiful and lovely as Mrs. Su. She might also be married. If she has another child, I can still be a grandmother."

Speaking of sadness, the old princess's eyes turned slightly red, and there was a faint sadness on her body.

Yao Jinshuang's expression changed slightly in an instant.

"Aunt, don't be sad. My cousin was just lost. Maybe she will come back one day."

The old princess was stunned for a moment, and then there was a bit of bitterness in her eyes. She shook her head and said, "The people who took Xiao Xia'er away were a group of human traffickers. Later, the prince sent people to capture them one by one. But in When Li Zhong was executed in Dali Temple, they personally admitted that Xiao Xiaer had died of illness on the way."

"My little Xia'er will never come back..."

When the old princess said this, a little moisture overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and she raised her wide sleeves to wipe it.

Seeing this, Yao Jinshuang's eyes flashed with a slight edge.She suppressed the emotion in her eyes, patted the old princess on the back, and said warmly: "Aunt, how about I accompany you for a walk in the back garden?"

The old princess sobbed twice, and after it calmed down a bit, she finally nodded, "It's okay to take a walk."

Although the terrain of Prince Qing's Mansion is relatively remote and the furnishings in the mansion are relatively simple, it was built by the Emperor himself in consideration of the brotherly relationship with Prince Qing in the past.

Therefore, the back garden was quite large.

There is a pond in the center, surrounded by rockeries.

Yao Jinshuang led Princess Qing to walk along the edge of the pool, met several ladies, and continued walking inside.

Not far away, Su Yuyi was standing behind a willow tree, looking at the water patterns in the pool with interest.

From time to time, he would grab a branch or two and throw them into the lake.

There was movement on the surface of the pond, and the fish below thought they were being fed. They were so excited that they swung their tails and swam toward the place. However, after seeing the note clearly, they ran away in despair.

After repeating this for several times, these fish have learned to be smart. If they ignore Su Yuyi, they will no longer be able to attract them.

Su Yu couldn't help but have a disappointed look on his face.

Shichun looked at the retreating figures of Yao Jinshuang and Yao Jinshuang in front of him, and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "Miss, when Princess Qi and the old princess came just now, they clearly saw us, and the old princess wanted to come over and say hello to us. But Princess Qi took the old princess away, and I don’t know what her intentions were.”

Su Yuyi glanced at her sideways, "Since they didn't say hello to us, it's natural that they have other important things to do. Now that we are guests in someone else's house, we must not make random assumptions."

While teaching Shichun, he still didn't seem to give up. He searched for a while under his feet and found a cluster of tender green grass, then pulled out two young leaves and threw them into the pond.

Sure enough, another fish came over, opened its mouth and swallowed the young leaves.

Su Yu agreed, patting the tiny dust particles in his hand, with a faint smile on his face.

Shi Chun bit his lip, "It's not that I want to speculate on them, it's just that Princess Qi and Mrs. Shen at home are getting too close. I don't know if these two are keeping secrets..."

Before Shichun could finish speaking, Su Yuyi frowned and glanced at her lightly, as if giving a silent warning.

Shichun didn't dare to say any more, but he couldn't hold his breath if he didn't say it out loud.

Then he looked around a few times and curled his lips dissatisfiedly and said: "Speaking of which, she came with us, but for some reason, Princess Qing left her alone to talk as soon as she arrived at the door. She doesn't know where she is now. where it goes."

Hearing this, Su Yuyi narrowed her eyes slightly, and a trace of color flashed under her eyes.

……

Yao Jinshuang walked with the old princess to the end of the back garden.

Looking up, there is a slightly depressed pear forest at the end.

During his lifetime, Prince Qing loved the whiteness and elegance of pear flowers the most. To please him, many plum blossoms were planted throughout the palace.

This pear forest was planted especially for him.

However, after King Qing left, the old princess sent away all the servants who had been responsible for taking care of the pear trees in the mansion one by one, fearing that the situation would be aroused. So far, these pear trees have become barren. At this time of winter, it is even more depressed.
