Hearing this, Xiao Lezi couldn't help but ask: "As long as you are a member of the Lan clan, will you have a butterfly birthmark on your body?"
Concubine Su explained: "Only the direct descendants of the Lan family will have butterfly birthmarks on their bodies. I also have a butterfly birthmark on my body."
She rolled up her sleeves, revealing a red butterfly birthmark on the inner side of her right arm. Xiao Lezi leaned over and took a closer look. The birthmark looked like a butterfly with its wings folded. Xiao Lezi said: "It looks like it is resting."
Concubine Su put down her sleeves and said: "The more pure the bloodline of the Lan clan, the wider the wings of the butterfly birthmark will be spread out. Your butterfly birthmark has almost all the wings spread out, which shows that your bloodline is very pure."
Xiao Lezi didn't understand very much and asked: "My sister and I are from the same mother. Why don't all your butterfly wings spread out? Shouldn't we be the same?"
Concubine Su looked at her with a complicated expression and said slowly: "It's hard to say anything at this time, so it's okay not to say it."
Seeing that she refused to tell, Xiao Lezi became more and more curious and kept acting coquettishly, begging her to tell her.
Concubine Su had no choice but to tell the truth: "Actually, when you were born, you were a twin of a boy and a girl. You also had a younger brother. Unfortunately, his life was not good. He died of malnutrition after birth.
When Po Wen took him out, his whole body was thin and dry, but you, who were born together, were fat and white. Po Wen said it was you who sucked the life out of your brother, which was why he was stillborn.
"
Later, there were rumors that the second young lady of the Qu family was born with evil spirits and was a lone evil star who would harm her father, mother and brothers. After hearing these rumors, Qu's father became furious and beat all the servants who spread the rumors to death.
The rumors were suppressed, so not many people knew about it.
Xiao Lezi didn't expect that his words about his body actually had such an origin, and he sighed half-jokingly: "So, I am still a tough-minded master!"
Concubine Su had been asked by her father since she was a child not to mention that her sister was a lone star. When she heard her sister say this, she immediately frowned and scolded her displeasedly: "What nonsense! You are such a big person.
Why don't you have any taboos in speaking? Hurry up and spit out what you just said!"
Xiao Lezi didn't expect that her casual joke could elicit such a big reaction from her sister. She didn't want to make her sister angry, so she immediately said obediently: "Bah, bah, bah! I just talked nonsense!"
Then she entangled her sister again and said with a smile: "Okay, I have already vomited my words, sister, don't be angry!"
Concubine Su knocked her forehead angrily and said, "I know how to act like a spoiled brat. You are such an immature child. How can I rest assured that you are living alone outside like this?"
"Don't worry, your sister and I are really powerful, don't underestimate my ability to survive!" Xiao Lezi raised his chin proudly and smiled very proudly.
The two sisters chatted for a while and had lunch together. Princess Su left her to take a lunch break and waited for the noon sun before going back to have some fun.
In the evening, Xiao Lezi and Xiao Feng lingered on the bed for a while, then called the palace maid and poured hot water on them. They took a quick bath, put on clean clothes, and then went back to the bed to lie down.
The two of them hid under the bed curtains, Xiao Lezi nestled in Xiao Feng's arms, and she said, "I want to move back to Yeting."
Xiao Feng lowered his head and looked at her: "Why do you suddenly think of moving back? Is there someone who is not caring here? Speak up and I will support you."
Xiao Lezi shook his head: "They all served me very well, but I have to go back. This is the Jinhua Palace, the residence of emperors of all dynasties. In the past, when there were no other women in the harem, I could barely live here.
I will live here for a while, but the queen will enter the palace soon. If I continue to live here, I am afraid I will attract unnecessary criticism."
Xiao Feng: "I told you to live here, and you live here. If anyone dares to say otherwise, I will cut out his tongue."
Your Majesty, what you said was so cool and arrogant that it almost blinded her titanium alloy dog eyes!
Xiao Lezi hurriedly said: "Don't be like this, it's not appropriate for me to live in Jinhua Palace, and I don't want to cause a lot of trouble before the queen enters the palace and before my title is officially settled. This is not good.
.”
Xiao Feng hugged her tightly: "I don't want to wrong you."
"I know what you mean, and I'm very touched by your love and care for me. But since I have to live in the harem, I have to learn to face problems alone. I also want to try to grow up. Not to mention sharing your worries, at least I can
I can’t hold you back.”
This excuse couldn't be better. Xiao Lezi praised his own wit.
Xiao Feng smiled and kissed her hair: "I just love being held back by you, I am happy to be held back."
Xiao Lezi looked shy and buried her head in his arms.
Although Xiao Fenglao was not happy, Xiao Lezi resolutely packed up his luggage and moved back to Yeting two days before the appointment as queen.
When she saw her coming back, Aunt Zhuang immediately put on a smile and came forward to greet her. Her attentive attitude was like a dung beetle seeing shit... Ah! This is a metaphor!
Anyway, Aunt Zhuang was sticking behind her with shining eyes, pouring out all kinds of good words as if for free. Xiao Lezi got tired of hearing this and gave Yulan a look. Yulan immediately understood and found a way to lead Aunt Zhuang away.
Walk.
Cabbage took the people to pack their luggage, and Xiao Lezi lay on the Taishi chair to rest. He would be relieved in two days.
Xiao Feng has been busy with a lot of things recently. The matter of the princes being crowned kings has not yet been finished in the court. In addition, the queen's canonization ceremony has been a series of big and small events. Piles of memorials have been sent to Xiao Feng. But he has another
He is a picky person and strives to be perfect in everything he does, so he does everything by himself and is extremely busy every day. He often works overtime until midnight before he can rest.
Therefore, he didn't have much time to find Xiao Lezi, which made Xiao Lezi really free for several days.
Xiao Lezi was idle and bored. Apart from tinkering with medicinal herbs in the house, she also went to Mei Qing Hall to visit her sister and nephew. Suddenly one day she remembered that she had not seen Xiao Yun for a long time.
The idea came to her because she heard Cabbage and Magnolia chatting and talking about interesting things about their recent visit to Wushuang City.
It turns out that many envoys from other countries have recently come to Wushuang City. Most of them are allies or tributaries of the Wushuang Dynasty, and they have come specially to congratulate the emperor on his wedding. Among these countries, there are people from the Snow Region of the Central Emperor. Logically speaking,
The relationship between Xueyu and Wushuang Dynasty has always been good and bad.
When their relationship gets better, Xueyu and Wushuang Dynasty can be as good as a pair of sworn brothers who both wear crotchless pants! But when they get into trouble, Xueyu and Wushuang Dynasty are as if they are each other’s father-killing enemies.
It’s a life-and-death affair!
A few years ago, when the late emperor was still here, Xueyu had a big fight with the Wushuang Dynasty because of the issue of Beiyan. Both sides suffered losses, but overall, Xueyu's losses were a little greater.
In the past few years, Xueyu has become more honest and no longer sends troops to fight against the Wushuang Dynasty on a whim. The relationship between the two parties has eased slightly. When he learned that the emperor of the Wushuang Dynasty was getting married, the emperor of Xueyu immediately sent an envoy to congratulate him as a sign of sincerity.
, they also specially brought many high-quality tributes. It is said that there were hundreds of beautiful female slaves with fair skin, beautiful waists, thin breasts and long thighs, all of which were dedicated to the emperor of the Wushuang Dynasty.
Xiao Lezi couldn't figure it out. How could anyone give women to newlyweds? And there were hundreds of them at one time. Do you really think that Xiao Feng was a prostitute eight times a night?
If it were just these, Xiao Lezi would not think of Xiao Yun. What really made her want to see Xiao Yun was hearing Cabbage say that Xueyu was going to revise a friendship covenant with the Wushuang Dynasty. There was a clause in this covenant...
To ensure long-term friendship between the two countries, each other needs to send a prince or princess to live in the other country.
After hearing this, two big words popped into Xiao Lezi's mind...proton.
This is to exchange protons, leaving each other's relatives in each other's lair, just in case the other party suddenly turns against them, and they will have a handle when the time comes.
Xiao Feng currently has no children, and the princesses born to the late emperor are already married and have children. Naturally, it is impossible to send him to the snowy land to be a hostage, so he can only choose one from among the princes. Among those many brothers,
The person Xiao Feng dislikes the most is naturally Xiao Yun.
Because of his father's instructions before his death, Xiao Feng could not directly kill this restless brother, so he could only put him under house arrest in the palace. Although he did not need to see him again, as long as he thought of such a person in the palace,
Xiao Feng felt very uncomfortable if he existed. Now that he had a rare opportunity, he was very happy to send Xiao Yun, a big burden, away.
Seeing that the Wushuang Dynasty was willing to hand over the eldest prince as a hostage, Xueyu felt that this sincerity was sufficient, so they decided to send a prince as a hostage to Wushuang City.
As we all know, being a hostage is a hard job. Not only does it have a bad reputation, but life is also very hard. Living in a foreign country, even as a prince, you can only behave with your tail between your legs. This is simply a torture in disguise.
Xiao Lezi sympathized with Xiao Yun a little, and decided to go see him.
I haven’t been to Deyang Hall for a long time, and the place has become even more deserted.
When Xiao Lezi came, Xiao Yun was painting. She put the cakes she brought on the table and walked to him. Seeing that he was painting mountains and flowing water, she smiled and said, "When you meet a close friend in mountains and flowing water, are you lonely?"
"
Xiao Yun finished the last stroke, took a small seal, and stamped it on the lower right side of the drawing paper. He smiled and said, "You haven't come to see me for so many days. Of course I am lonely."
"It seems that I am quite important in your heart," Xiao Lezi sat on the chair with a smile, his posture was really familiar, and he didn't mean to treat himself as a guest at all.
What Xiao Yun liked most was her ease and lack of pretense. He made a pot of tea with his own hands. This tea was the tea she secretly brought to him. It was not a good tea, but it was his favorite tea.
Xiao Yun said: "Why did you suddenly want to see me today? Did you hear about the protons?"
Xiao Lezi was slightly startled: "Do you know everything? Can't you tell, this news is transmitted quite quickly, and the news that comes to my place is relatively slow."
"His Majesty has sent someone here just now. Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning behind his words is that he asked me to be prepared. After His Majesty's wedding ceremony is completed, I will leave with the envoys from the Snow Region, and the Snow Region sent
The protons are already on their way," Xiao Yun smiled helplessly, "I originally wanted to help you realize your wish and help you leave the palace, but I didn't expect that God's calculations are not as good as those of people. Before I could think of a way, I
We have to take the first step.” (To be continued)
