The eldest princess glanced at Lang Zhuo and said calmly to He Miao: "Let him come in."

Then he lazily said to the maid beside him: "Prepare a table for the young master."

With so many outsiders present, the eldest princess made no secret of her displeasure with Xiao Xu.

Before Xiao Xu arrived, the maid placed a food table far away from Langzhuo, opposite Beisheng and near the door.

The food was the same as everyone else's, but Dudu was missing a plate of hibiscus cake on his desk.

By the time the maid had arranged everything, Xiao Xu had already arrived outside the palace. Without moving his eyes, he walked straight to the center of the palace and knelt down to the eldest princess.

"My mother went to the palace to teach your noble daughter. It is inconvenient for my son to enter the palace. He has not paid greetings to his mother for many days. Today, the saddle and saddlery department is not busy, so my son has time to go to the palace to visit his mother."

Xiao Xun's voice was loud and clear, and his eyes were only looking at the eldest princess, not the other people in the palace.

The eldest princess looked as normal, as calm as a pool of water, calm and without any ripples.

She said calmly: "If you haven't eaten yet, just eat before leaving. Meals have been prepared for you over there."

"Son, thank you mother."

Xiao Xu stood up and saw Lang Zhuo in a blink of an eye. He smiled at him and said, "Master Lang is here too."

Lang Zhuo's eyes were cold and he just nodded, "Hello, Mr. Xu."

Obviously the food table could be placed in the empty space beside Lang Zhuo, but it was placed near the door, leaving a large gap in the middle.

Xiao Xu suffocated slightly, and a hint of unhappiness suddenly rose in his heart.

Undoubtedly, it adds new topics of conversation and laughter to those who look down on themselves and ridicule themselves.

But then he thought, his mother had not been treating him like this for a day or two. She was willing to keep him for dinner today to give him face in front of everyone.

His future has never depended on his mother, nor on those who mocked him, so why should he care about their looks?

He walked over and sat down, his eyes naturally meeting Bei Sheng's.

I haven't seen her for several months, but she still looks as bright and beautiful as before.

Just like the roses in the garden, they are not afraid of peonies overwhelming the crowd, and they are not disdainful of miscellaneous flowers without fragrance. A single branch is the most dazzling existence.

Ever since hearing He Miao's report, Bei Sheng's heart was in a mess.

At this time, the person was sitting opposite her, and she could see it as soon as she raised her eyes. With so many people present, she didn't even dare to greet him, so she just nodded to him lightly.

Today is no different than before. In the past, she could ignore Xiao Xu and stand up to defend him when he was being bullied. Now if there is any slight insecurity and rumors spread throughout the capital, her dream of becoming a princess will be completely shattered.

but……

How can two people who have known each other pretend to be strangers? Others already looked down upon him. If she did this again, wouldn't Xiao Xu think too much about it?

What were those encouraging words she had said to him before?

She can't control that much.

She nodded to Xiao Xu in greeting and asked loudly: "We said goodbye to Luzhou and we haven't seen each other for four months. Is Master Xiao going well in the Anlan and Bridle Bureau?"

Lang Zhuo, who was about to pick up the vegetables, suddenly suffocated and couldn't help but look towards Xiao Xu. Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiao were also stunned and looked at Xiao Xu hesitantly.

Xiao Xu smiled calmly at Bei Sheng, but he tried his best to endure and hide it. He said, "Everything went well. Has the injury on the girl's arm been healed?" Bei Sheng's heartbeat suddenly stopped, and there was a gap between her and Xiao Xu. There was obviously nothing shameful, but at this moment, he felt inexplicably guilty.

They were afraid that the people in the palace would find clues from their questions and answers that even they themselves had not discovered, and then rumors would spread throughout the world.

But he just wanted to end the topic he had caused, so he said: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your concern. He has recovered."

After saying that, he quickly lowered his head to eat, and a hurried voice in his heart shouted loudly: Mr. Xiao, please stop asking her questions!

Xiao Xu did not remain silent as she expected, but said: "It's the beginning of autumn, and the weather will get cooler soon. In rainy weather, wounds will hurt. The girl can use moxibustion, which will make her feel better."

Beisheng naturally knew her body well, and she also knew how to deal with it, but it was accompanied by extreme panic.

While he nodded slightly towards Xiao Xu, his eyes couldn't help but turn in another direction. The moment he met the cold gaze cast from the other side, the panic turned into an indifferent smile, and even a little proud.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao was silent as he ate the food, but his ears stood up three feet long.

They knew about the past between Xu Beisheng and Zhao Shu, but they didn't expect that she and Xiao Xu had such a deep connection.

No wonder Xu Beisheng was so protective of Xiao Xu in the eldest princess's house in the past. The two of them had long been familiar with each other.

The eldest princess frowned slightly while listening to their conversation, and asked in surprise: "When did Xu'er go to Luzhou?"

Xiao Xu was slightly stunned. The first time in his life that his mother asked about his whereabouts was four months ago.

He closed his lips and was about to answer, but Xiao Yan said: "Brother Xu went to Luzhou without telling my aunt? He was still having a private meeting with Miss Xu Er in Luzhou! Brother Xu just didn't care about his reputation. How could he do it? Do you want your aunt to listen to those unpleasant words?"

Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement.

If this was not in front of the eldest princess, even though he could not fight with a princess, Xu Beisheng still wanted her to know the disadvantages of having a tongue that is too long!

"Snapped!"

The sound of setting chopsticks was shocking and harsh in the empty hall!

Xiao Xu's eyes suddenly became cold. The gentle and cowardly person in the eyes of everyone in the past suddenly became angry, and Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiao were shocked.

However, they were born to be admired by everyone and raised to be arrogant, so why should they be afraid of someone who has always been stepped on?

Xiao Xiao said: "Brother Xu is looking at Sister Princess like this. Are you dissatisfied? My sister is also thinking about the reputation of her brother and aunt. Her words are not nice but she has good intentions..."

"Whether it's a good intention or a deliberate slander, you don't need to defend her, I can understand clearly!"

Xiao Xu's words were gentle, but his cold expression made Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiao freeze like ice and snow, and immediately froze!

This was the first time Xiao Xu refuted their words, and for a while he couldn't think of any countermeasures.

Xiao Xu looked at the eldest princess, calmed down, and said with a faint smile: "To answer my mother's question, my son went to Luzhou on business before April. Before leaving Beijing, he returned home and wanted to inform his mother, but Liu Shanggong said that his mother He was not in good health and didn't want to see anyone, so he wanted to talk to his mother after returning to Beijing, but he put it on hold due to the busy schedule of the saddlery and harness bureau. As time went by, his son felt that there was no need to talk to his mother anymore."

"After Miss Xu Er was assassinated and injured outside Fengyang City, she fled all the way to Luzhou. My son met Miss Xu Er by chance on the streets of Luzhou. We are innocent and innocent and cannot tolerate such slander from others!"

His courage was given by Xu Beisheng.

The encouragement she usually gave him turned into a lonely, fearless and unscrupulous spirit at this moment. Even if his mother doubted his and Xu Beisheng's innocence, he would refute it like this.

The eldest princess glanced at Lang Zhuo from the corner of her eye and smiled calmly, "I didn't know you and Miss Xu Er were so familiar with each other. Miss Xu Er is a person of her own opinion, and she is willing to be friends with a boring gourd like you." .”

Xiao Xu looked at Bei Sheng, the emotion and gratitude in his eyes could not be hidden. (End of chapter)
