Chapter 47
Concubine Qing went through several rounds in her mind before she finally figured out the relationship, and asked, "You mean, the person who happened to save Xiaohe was a friend of brother-in-law Xianhui? He's a scholar, and he's not bad, right?"

"En." Gao Chen nodded, with a cold sneer in his eyes, "Even if we marry Xiaohe to someone else, there will inevitably be rumors, so it's better to make a good story."

Didn't the Empress use this trick?Very easy to use.

Princess Qing nodded her head and said, "That's fine, let's settle the matter quickly." After the son left, she asked the girl to call Princess Dajun to come over and talk, "Today Xiaohe fell into the water and was rescued by a scholar. I mean, since If they are destined, they should simply settle this marriage."

Princess Dajun opened her mouth slightly, closed it again, calmed down and said: "Okay, my daughter-in-law will do it now, let that family come to propose marriage quickly." She asked with a smile: "I don't know which family's son it is? You are so blessed .”

"The surname is Lu, and the single name is a character." Princess Qing said the general situation of the Lu family and where they lived.

Princess Dajun's heart skipped a beat, "Oh, my daughter-in-law knows."

After listening to her mother-in-law's instructions, she turned around and went to find her cousin Shao Tongyun, and then told the whole story, wondering: "You complained to me a few times before, saying that uncle took a fancy to Xianhui A poor scholar, ready to order it for you. I vaguely remember, it seems to be called Lu or something...?"

"Lu Jian?!" Shao Tongyun was astonished.

"It's really him?!"

"Hehe." Shao Tongyun chuckled, and then his eyes turned, "If it were him, this would be interesting."

"How do you say?" Princess Dajun hurriedly asked.

"Then do you need to ask?" Shao Tongyun chuckled, shaking a silk gauze fan with crabapple flowers in his hand, "Think about it, it's not uncommon for Lu Jian to go to see dragon boats. Next to the stands of the Shao family? Why would you risk your life to save Princess Xiaohe? The twists and turns here are unclear."

"You mean..." Princess Dajun thought about it carefully, and was suddenly surprised and happy, "Lu Jian originally went to the Shao family stand to see Xianhui, and then thought that Xianhui fell, so ..." Can't help laughing, "Oh, it turns out that Lu Jian already has Xianhui in his heart, and now he is going to be engaged to Xiaohe, it's really interesting."

Shao Tongyun snorted coldly and said with a sneer, "Yes, Lang Youqing concubine is interested."

The concubine of the big county pondered slowly, "Xianhui is the concubine of the four counties bestowed by the emperor, and she will definitely not be able to retreat, but if the news spreads..." Then Gao Chen became suspicious of her and snubbed her——then she is the concubine of the four counties I can't sit still.

"Cousin." Shao Tongyun reminded, "This is a great opportunity."

"I know." Princess Dajun couldn't help but smiled triumphantly, "I'll quietly let Xiaohe know and let her make trouble. We don't need to get our hands dirty at all, and just sit back and enjoy the success."

Shao Tongyun frowned slightly, and scolded an idiot in his heart!Then she calmed down and said in detail: "If Xiao Xiao and the princess make trouble with the Lu family's marriage, it will not be beautiful. It's better to let nature take its course and let this marriage be booked quickly." The corner of her mouth hooked, "There is a thorn , wouldn't it be better if you can't get out of the hearts of the kings of the four counties for a lifetime?"

Princess Dajun chewed her words carefully, and after a while, she finally realized.

That's right, if Xiao Xiao and the princess had an affair with the Lu family and Lu Jian and Xian Hui had a relationship, it would certainly make Gao Chen unhappy, but... how could it be compared to Lu Jian's celebration? It would be better for the son-in-law of the palace to make Gao Chen feel uncomfortable all his life.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this idea was brilliant. While I was happy, I became more wary of my scheming cousin.

Princess Dajun didn't show her face, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will settle the Lu family's marriage right now."

Shao Tongyun said with a slight smile: "Cousin, you've worked hard, we will save a lot of worry in the future."

Xian Hui was still kept in the dark.

For her, all she knew was that Xiaohe Princess accidentally fell into the river and was rescued, and then Gao Chen sent them back safely, and then picked up Zhou Qiao who caused trouble and left.After returning to Shao's Mansion, she asked someone to send a century-old ginseng to Prince Qing's Mansion to express her condolences, and when she heard that Princess Xiaohe was fine, she let it go.

Three days later, news came that Princess Xiaohe and Lu Jian were engaged.

"Bang!" Xianhui shook her hand, smashed a blue and white porcelain dessert cup to the ground, and tried her best to cover it up: "It's a little hot, clean it up quickly." My heart was flustered and I didn't know how... how could Princess Xiaohe get along with her? Lu Jian engaged?I want to ask, but it's inconvenient to ask rashly.

Nanny Li glanced at her, but said nothing.

Go forward to help the girl clean up the broken porcelain, where is it hot?It is clearly lying.

Xian Hui got up and said, "I'll go out for a stroll by myself." Not letting the girl follow, she casually squeezed a round fan and went out, shaking it one after another, her mind had already drifted away.Just passed through the bead curtain, just bumped into a strong person, didn't think much at all, raised his head and shouted, "Brother..."

Gao Chen looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, "It's fine if you call me brother."

Xianhui's bright eyes were wide open, seeing him, it was like seeing a ghost! "You, you..." It was because I wanted to land on Lu Jian in my heart, and under my guilty conscience, I even forgot to be ashamed, and said nervously, "Why are you here?"

Nanny Li gave the girls a wink, and they all retreated outside the inner door.

Anyway, they are all engaged in marriage, and there are servants guarding the door. It is only serious to make room for the young couple.

"I just met your mother." Gao Chen entered the door generously, like a master, sat down on the chair, and poured himself a cup of tea, "Because Xiaohe is in a hurry to get engaged, so we discussed it, I plan to advance our marriage, and my brother and sister-in-law have to be ahead of the curve."

Brother and sister-in-law?Xian Hui's face was burning hot, her heart felt weak, and she didn't know how to answer the words.

"What are you doing standing at the door?" Gao Chen was displeased, "Can I eat you?" Originally, he wanted to advance the wedding date, but he was worried that she would feel wronged because she felt rushed, so he came here to comfort her.

—she didn't appreciate it.

Xian Hui came over slowly and sat opposite, lowering her head and daring not to look at him at all.

Gao Chen thought she was shy and didn't think much about it, and explained: "Didn't Xiaohe fall into the water that day? It was a scholar who saved her. The marriage was destined, so he simply betrothed them."

I see!Xianhui roughly understood in her heart.

Then I was surprised again, all right, how could Lu Jian be under the Shao's stand?Could it be that the person I saw that day was really Lu Jian?But why did he go to save Xiaohe Princess?Could it be that he misunderstood... the person who fell was himself?The more I think about it, the more uneven and turbulent my mood becomes.

"What are you doing so suddenly?" Gao Chen sized her up and pondered, "You don't like me coming to see you."

Xianhui is guilty and nervous, subconsciously afraid that Gao Chen will misunderstand that he likes Lu Jian and doesn't like him - although he can't say that he likes him now, but he must not tell the truth.

"I like it, I like it! I like it..." She was anxious, and her words got stuck on the edge of her mouth, "You..." She curled her tongue before uttering the second half of the sentence, "...Come and see me."

Now it was Gao Chen's turn to be stunned.

After a while, there was a smile in his eyes, "I never thought you would be such a straightforward girl."

Immediately, Xianhui's face was full of Zhu Xia's, embarrassed and embarrassed.

"No." She hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that I like you, ah no..." The more she explained, the more inappropriate she became, and she was afraid that Gao Chen would suspect her guilty conscience, so she hurriedly added: "I didn't mean that I didn't like you you."

Gao Chen automatically took Xianhui's explanations as his daughter's shyness and embarrassment.

He smiled brightly, "You are talking about tongue twisters."

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, like strips of jade belts projected in, outlining his handsome face, eyebrows like mountains, eyes like water, reflecting him like pearls and jade.Especially that rare warm smile, with a gentle meaning, let him show his true side under the iceberg.

Xianhui was stunned, but when he smiled...it was really pretty.

Not only is he handsome in appearance, calm and introverted, meticulous and prudent in his work, he is also an aristocrat, except for a little cold personality, he is impeccable.

Isn't such a man the husband that girls dream of?I should like it.

"Why are you in a daze?" Gao Chen's heart softened, and his tone eased, "Come here." He stretched out his finger to her forehead hair, "Let me see the wound on your forehead, how is it going?"

Xianhui shook her head and took two steps back, "It's ugly."

Gao Chen was in a good mood, he was not angry because of being rejected, instead he said patiently: "I have seen your dismal appearance in the palace, can it be uglier than that?" He got up and walked towards her Passed over, "Be obedient."

Xianhui still wanted to retreat, but he had a condescending and unquestionable majesty, and he was stopped by the word "obedient" for life, and stood obediently in place.He could only refuse in a low voice, "No, it's not good-looking, really... Those scars are not good-looking."

Gao Chen raised the corner of his mouth, "I didn't say I dislike you." He even made a joke, jokingly said: "You are the concubine of the four counties bestowed by the emperor, even if you look ugly, I can't return it."

He raised his hand, and his slender fingers landed on the curly forehead hair.

Xianhui flinched in fright, and closed her eyes blindly.

The smile in Gao Chen's eyes was even stronger, looking at the extremely beautiful girl's face in front of him, the long eyelashes formed a light blue arc, like a butterfly fluttering its wings, trembling slightly.Her complexion is fair and lustrous, and under the sun, she has a translucent jade-like soft luster.

He was stunned, feeling a feeling that he had never felt before.

It seems that everything wakes up in spring, and the spring breeze suddenly dyes the earth with the first touch of fresh green.

That kind of wonderful feeling flowed in his heart, very thin, very light, very weak, but it brought him a brand new feeling, and made him linger on his fingertips for a moment longer in the unadapted curiosity.

The fingers felt soft, and the throbbing in my heart became stronger.

Xian Hui didn't understand, what was he doing pointing his forehead all the time?I just felt that time was slow, as if half a lifetime had passed. I closed my eyes and tremblingly said: "Have you... finished reading?"

Gao Chen withdrew his thoughts and couldn't help laughing, why was he so nervous?She is not someone else, but her fiancée who is upright, what is she doing to make it look like molesting a woman from a good family?Feeling calm, she gently lifted her forehead hair, and her eyes fell on the flesh-colored scars of different shades.

"Does it still hurt?" He asked a silly question, a little pity.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Xianhui's forehead hair was lifted suddenly, feeling that something was missing and very uncomfortable, she wanted to raise her hand to let her hair down, but when she grabbed it, she caught a masculine man's hand.She blushed immediately, let go hastily, opened her eyes and explained in a panic, "That... I didn't do it on purpose."

Gao Chen felt the inconceivable softness and smoothness at that moment, as if she was boneless, and there was a faint fragrance, which made him instinctively hold her back, and said with a light smile: "You and I are already engaged,... on purpose, does not matter."

Ah, it doesn't matter what it means to be intentional?I didn't mean it.

Immediately, Xianhui's face was so red that it couldn't be redder, as if she was about to bleed, she was extremely ashamed, she pulled her hand hard but didn't pull it out, she couldn't help being even more embarrassed.

"Don't..." She didn't know what to say, she bit her lip, blushing.

Gao Chen looked at her bright eyes, bright red cheeks, and ruddy and alluring mouth, and the feeling in his body became even more strange, as if... There was an urge to embrace her.But the calmness in his bones interrupted this charming thought in time, let go of her hand, then turned around and sat back.

After all, they haven't got married yet, so it's too much, it's not suitable.

He sat upright on the Liuyun couch, looked away, changed the subject and said, "I'll ask someone to find some good plaster for removing scars later on, you can apply it more, since you're young, it won't be long before you get better. " Then his face turned cold, "As for the imperial concubine in the palace, you don't have to worry about it, she will not be able to escape the journey of accompanying the emperor for a while in the future."

According to the rules of this dynasty, after the death of the emperor, all concubines except the empress and the biological mother who succeeded the emperor will be buried.

According to Gao Chen's usually cautious and calm temperament, suddenly talking about the affairs of the palace, and also involving the current favorite concubine Mei Guifei, talking about the life and death of the other party, so it is obviously very overstepped.

Xian Hui didn't have time to analyze and be grateful, she was only ashamed and couldn't even raise her head.

He seemed to hear what Gao Chen was saying in his ear, and gave him some instructions, but in the end he was so dazed that he didn't even know when he left.It was still Nanny Li who came in and pushed, "Second Miss, why are you staying here?"

"Hey." Xianhui regained consciousness, and immediately went to the back room in embarrassment.

Nanny Li's eyes flickered, just now the kings of the four counties stayed inside for a long time before leaving, and this one was embarrassing again, did something "good" happen?It can be seen that the two of them are neatly dressed, and there is no movement inside. At most, this is the one who was stolen by the king of the four counties, right?Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that the king of the fourth county, Nei Li, was still a quick temper.

Two days later, Gao Chen sent someone to deliver a beautiful pearl headband.

Xianhui's face turned red again.

Seeing it in her eyes, Nanny Li couldn't help confirming the previous guess in her heart, she shook her head with a smile - after all, as a young man, it is inevitable that there will be times when the impulse can't be controlled.

Soon, the wedding date of Xian Hui and Gao Chen was fixed.

Because Minghui is the older sister, her wedding date to Song Wenting has already been set on the second day of June, and Xianhui and Gao Chen are set on the twelfth of June, which is less than ten days apart.Then on the other side, the wedding date between Princess Xiaohe and Lu Jian was also fixed, and it was chosen on June 28.

In this month, there will be a total of three marriage and wedding events.

The time is a bit rushed, but the Shao family is rich, and Prince Qing's Mansion is not short of money or people, so it's natural to go all out and move quickly.As for the Lu family, they all listened to the arrangements of Prince Qing's Mansion, including horoscopes, dowry, dowry, and decoration of the new house. The members of the several families worked day and night, and they were rushed out within a month.

On the second day of junior high school, Ming Hui put on a red and gold wedding dress and prepared to leave the court.

Xianhui was very happy in her heart, not only was her sister's dowry shabby in her previous life, but also the east courtyard and her father had a very tense fight at that time, and the atmosphere on the wedding day was very bad.Not only that, but I have to endure the flamboyant Rong family and Shao Tongyun, as well as their faint show off, these troubles are gone in this life.

Looking at her sister's shy and bright face, she was in a happy mood. She felt that the sky had become bluer and wider, and the chirping of the birds was clear and sweet. She said happily, "Sister, are you happy?"

Minghui lowered her head, too shy to say a word.

Chen said with a smile, "Stop teasing your sister." Holding a roll of mysterious things in her hand, she said to her little daughter, "Go out, and I will have a few words with your sister alone."

Xian Hui lived two lifetimes and was still a young girl. She didn't know why, "Why did you kick me out?"

Nanny Li came up to pull people, "Second Miss, Mrs. Shen wants to have some private conversations with the Eldest Miss about being a married woman, and she will tell you later when you leave the cabinet. Let's go, let's go out first."

Xianhui seemed to understand, but reluctantly left the door first.

She went back to the house and sat alone, thinking that her sister would get married soon, and she would soon marry into Prince Qing's Mansion too. Leaving aside Princess Dajun and Shao Tongyun, she thought of Gao Chen, how could the two of them be alone in the future?In her view, it was like a huge gap that she didn't know how to bridge.

In Prince Qing's mansion, Gao Chen also had similar troubles.

He had a weird temper since he was a child, and he didn't like others to approach him. Everyone in the palace knew his preferences, and no one dared to get close to the county prince.But a few years ago, when Yue Mo Gao Chen was thirteen or fourteen years old, some thoughtful girls couldn't bear it anymore.Dressed up beautifully, she often wanders in front of him and her, either to wink, to smile sweetly, or to miss while serving tea, to bump into each other and so on.

It annoyed him a little.

Simply kick out all the maids in the house, leaving no one behind.

Nowadays, there are a few young servants serving food and living in Canglan Hall, the leader is Chu Qi, and there are also Shibi, Shimo, Paper, and Inkstone, and even the names of the servants are all coldly named. Emotionless.

But when Xianhui enters the house in the future, he definitely can't keep these little servants in the house.
