Chapter 186 186

In the early morning, the sky was bright, and when Princess Duanhui woke up, Guo Xiao was gone by her side.

“Princess, Mr. Ma went to the front yard to practice martial arts, and did not ask us to alarm you.” Her maid explained with a smile.

Not allowing the palace lady to disturb her rest. This is a kind of thoughtfulness. Princess Duanhui lowered her head sweetly, but she caught a glimpse of the empty red blanket beside her, thinking of the long-awaited bridal candle but nothing happened, Princess Duanhui faintly again Disappointed. She doesn’t have to do that kind of thing with her cousin, but…

Not even a kiss.

Touching her face, Princess Duanhui puffed her mouth imperceptibly, but thought that the two had just married, and there were still a few days before her cousin’s departure, and she would even be a real couple tonight. Princess Duanhui was a little uncomfortable. Dissipated quickly, dressed up refreshed. She is a princess, and her makeup is different from that of ordinary newlyweds. Four court ladies waited on her side. When Guo Xiao came over, Princess Duanhui had just finished her makeup.

“Cousin…” Princess Duanhui was a little shy, standing still shyly, looking at the man opposite with her beautiful eyes.

Guo Xiao’s gaze fell on Princess Duanhui’s head. There were too many pearl hairpins and jewelry, all of which were precious. Princess Duanhui is easy to dress up, Guo Xiao knows, but Guo Xiao has also discovered that Princess Duanhui is dressed more ostentatiously than in the palace today, clearly wanting to show off her power. For whom? Naturally his stepmother.

“The guest is overwhelming.” Guo Xiao walked over and said helplessly to Princess Duanhui.

Princess Duanhui looked confused, what overwhelmed her?

Guo Xiao looked at her, then shook his head, raised his hand and drew a golden step and shook it down, and explained in a low voice: “The cousin has a beautiful appearance and wears too many vulgar things, but it is detrimental to the perception. Everyone is looking at your jewelry , It’s easy to ignore you…” Guo Xiao didn’t say anything later, only slowly looking at Princess Duanhui’s facial features.

This is to praise her beauty in a different way. Princess Duanhui’s small face turned red immediately, she touched her head, turned her head and blamed the maids behind her: “It’s all because of your messy ideas. I’ve said it all. Just wear a few. ”

The master opened his eyes and said nonsense, but the four court ladies respectfully cooperated and took the mistake on his head.

Princess Duanhui looked at Guo Xiao embarrassingly, turned around and combed her hair again.

Guo Xiao followed for a few steps, then stopped at the side of the dressing table, his lips slightly raised, and his black eyes fixedly stared at the bride in the mirror. Guo Xiao had a cold face, but he was born very well. Looking at Princess Duanhui like this, his eyes seemed to be deeply affectionate, bold as Princess Duanhui, and he was afraid to look up by those eyes.

Two quarters later, the newlyweds walked towards the yard of the wife.

“Does my cousin have a headache? You were so drunk and unconscious last night.” Princess Duanhui asked with concern, with her daughter’s careful thoughts hidden in her words.

Guo Xiao just didn’t know, and simply replied: “Fortunately, my hard-working cousin took care of me.”

Princess Duanhui lowered her head and blushed and said: “It’s not hard at all.” She likes to take care of him.

Her voice was low, but Guo Xiao heard it. Looking at Princess Duanhui’s blushing face, recalling the behavior of his cousin who wiped his face and changed clothes last night, Guo Xiao moved his lips and changed the way of saying what he had prepared in advance. Low The voice exhorted: “Cousin, I know that you have never liked your mother, but she was married to her father Mingzhong, and her father valued her. Now that you are married, you can ignore her, and you must not make things difficult for your father, so as not to upset your father. Show your face.”

Princess Duanhui really didn’t like Lin and Song Jianing’s mother and daughter. For so many years, Princess Duanhui always felt that Lin had confuses her grandfather and uncle with her beauty. If Guo Xiao coldly warned her not to provoke Lin, Princess Duanhui would definitely not like to listen, but when Guo Xiao said these words in the name of worrying about her, Princess Duanhui would have listened to it.

“Well, I know, cousin don’t worry, I won’t care about her.” Princess Duanhui disdainfully, a remarried widow, also worthy of her dignified princess to bother.

Guo Xiao gently touched her head.

Now that she agreed, Princess Duanhui did not embarrass Lin in public, and respected the tea in a polite manner, without the respect of her daughter-in-law to her mother-in-law. Guo Boyan frowned and Lin was smiling. She and Princess Duanhui were estranged. This relationship is well known to each other. This is good now. If Princess Duanhui puts on the set of imaginary and suspicious snakes, Lin still feels tired to deal with it. It.

After offering tea and gifts, Guo Xiao accompanied Princess Duanhui into the palace. Emperor Xuande was still dealing with political affairs, and the concubines of Empress Li in the middle palace were not there, so the couple went to the Changchun Palace of Concubine Shu first. Concubine Shu had been looking forward to it a long time ago. As soon as the young couple came in, she observed without a trace, but saw that Guo Xiao was as calm as ever, and her daughter, although her cheeks were blushing, and her demeanor and pace, were no different from before she got married.

Concubine Shu was secretly surprised that she was a person here. It stands to reason that today’s daughter should show physical discomfort. On the first night of the wedding, no bride would not suffer. The four princes brought their princesses into the palace after their wedding. Except for Li Mulan, everyone was fine, Feng Zheng and Song Jianing, all of them had a pale green under the eyes that could not be concealed by the powder.

Concubine Shu wanted to inquire about her daughter, but there were only three of them in the palace, and no one helped her entertain her son-in-law, so Concubine Shu could not find a chance to speak with her daughter alone. Scorching her heart and lungs, seeing that the time was almost time, Concubine Shu smiled and said, “Let’s go, it’s time to greet the empress.”

Leading daughter and son-in-law to the central palace.

Here Queen Li sits in the middle, the concubines sit on her bottom left, and the three princesses of Song Jianing sit on the right. Zhaozhao leaned in his mother’s arms, tilted his head to look at the grandmother in the main seat, and his eyes clearly revealed his expectation, expecting the grandmother to call her over and hold her as rare as before.

Such a big child still doesn’t understand the twists and turns in the palace, but only knows who likes her around him.

Empress Li noticed the longing look in the little girl’s eyes, and her heart was very complicated. After Brother Sheng left, she became a lonely person again. There is a beautiful and cute girl like Zhao Zhao who likes her. Empress Li is also very happy. She also wants to pick up the little girl. It is very rare, but now is different from the past, King Chu A family banned from Nangong completely loses power. Shouwang’s mouth is difficult to heal, and the throne is more likely to fall on the second prince Ruiwang.

“Sister Kang, come over and hug the emperor’s grandmother.” Empress Li said kindly to Sister Kang, ignoring Zhaozhao’s heart.

Sister Kang is not close to her, she instinctively shrinks into her mother’s arms, and Princess Rui secretly looks at the opposite mother-in-law Wu Guifei. Concubine Wu naturally understands Queen Li’s heart, and Concubine Wu just wants to sneer about it, but the position of the prince is not determined for a day, and it will not be time for her to show Queen Li’s face. Therefore, Gui Concubine Wu smiled and encouraged her granddaughter to go over, which was considered acceptance Empress Li’s meaning of intimacy.

Both her grandmother and mother told her to come over, and Sister Kang shyly agreed.

Watching the emperor grandmother hold her cousin on her lap, she opened her small mouth in confusion, and looked up at her mother.

Song Jianing smiled softly at her daughter, but felt sorry for her in her heart. Since the abolition of King Chu, Queen Li’s attitude towards their wives has faded. People in the palace have difficulties. Song Jianing does not blame Queen Li for her sophistication, but only feels sorry for her daughter who was “inexplicably” left out by the emperor’s grandmother.

“Chao Zhao, my aunt hasn’t hugged us for a long time.” Concubine Shu said softly, claiming to be auntie, she was talking about relatives from the government office.

When Zhao Zhao heard this, she immediately let go of her mother, and ran to Aunt Shu concubine, happy that someone wanted to hug her.

The daughter was happy, Song Jianing looked at Concubine Shu gratefully, but Guo Xiao’s sight was blocked halfway. If he is hot, Song Jianing immediately looked down, quietly calming herself in her heart. After today, there will not be many occasions to socialize with Guo Xiao in the future.

“Jianing, let’s go, you also go to the aunt’s place to sit. Since you are happy, my aunt hasn’t seen you for a while.” To Queen Li and all the concubines, she had seen her husband and wife. Before the banquet, Concubine Shu hugged Zhaozhao and affectionately. Invite Song Jianing.

Song Jianing glanced at the dresses of Guo Xiao and Princess Duanhui. Knowing that they were going to the Changchun Palace, Song Jianing smiled and declined: “The princess is newly married. My aunt must have a lot to say to the princess and the eldest brother. I will not join in the fun today. , And bring Zhaozhao into the palace again to speak with her aunt.” After speaking, she called her daughter back.

Zhao Zhao didn’t go out easily, and it was rare to enter the palace once. He leaned against Concubine Shu’s shoulder coquettishly and refused to listen to her mother’s words.

Concubine Shu seized the opportunity to persuade and persuaded Song Jianing to go over. Only when she attracted her nephew and son-in-law, she had the opportunity to talk to her daughter.

Song Jianing still wanted to insist, but Concubine Shu took the lead with Zhaozhao.

Song Jianing dared not let her daughter go to the Changchun Palace alone. She had no choice but to put up with the discomfort of getting along with Guo Xiao for the time being, and slowly followed behind. She was pregnant and walked slowly. Concubine Shu thoughtfully slowed down before she walked out of the middle palace. Concubine Shu had no energy and turned around to give Zhao Zhao to Guo Xiao to hug. Guo Xiao was unprepared, and subconsciously looked at Song Jianing.

Song Jianing pursed her lips. Before she could speak, the nurse who had already passed the board hurried over and respectfully said to Concubine Shu: “Manny, shouldn’t it be handed over to the slave?”

Concubine Shu was displeased, thinking that the nurse was taking care of her.

Ignoring the nursing mother, Concubine Shu held Zhaozhao’s little hand and laughed and said, “Zhaozhao, do you want uncle?”

Zhaozhao turned his head, stared at the unfamiliar uncle on the opposite side for a while, shook his head, and reached out to the nurse.

Concubine Zi Shu couldn’t say anything more now, the nurse breathed a sigh of relief, took the little princess, and retreated steadily to the side of the princess. Zhaozhao refused to give his eldest uncle a hug, but he kept looking at his elder uncle curiously, with watery apricot eyes, like Song Jianing. It is precisely because of the resemblance that at the moment when Zhao Zhao was rejected, Guo Xiao had been evaded by another pair of apricot eyes.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhao still has curiosity in his eyes, unlike her, blindly avoiding him.

Guo Xiao’s stiff body returned to normal. Seeing Princess Duanhui was called by Concubine Shu, Guo Xiao slowed down and walked to Song Jianing deliberately. He is her elder brother in name and the uncle of the little princess. No one thinks it is wrong. Although Song Jianing is uncomfortable, she can’t find a reason to rush him, so she can only look at him.

“Grandma is getting older. If the princess has time, she should go home and sit more.” Guo Xiao looked at Zhaozhao and calmly said to her, his voice not high or low.

Song Jianing hummed, Guo Xiao was about to go on an expedition, and when he was not there, she could go back to the government office with confidence.

“Why look at me?” Guo Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand, laughing and teasing Zhao Zhao who was held by the nurse behind him, thinking about a little bit of Zhao Zhao’s fat face.

Song Jianing turned her head nervously. Before she could see if her daughter was touched by Guo Xiao, she heard Guo Xiao on top of her head and said in a low voice: “An’an, I didn’t touch her.”
