==Chapter 7Waiting==
The dark night gradually faded away, the clouds on the horizon showed a faint dawn, the window paper was soaked in white, and a cool light poured into the inner room.
After receiving the imperial decree conferring marriage yesterday, Princess Ning must express her gratitude to the Queen Mother.
Xiao Lianyu freshened up and entered the palace without breakfast.
She waited outside Cining Palace for less than a moment. Eunuch Zhang hurried over, bowed and smiled and said: "The Queen Mother was still taking a nap, but when she heard that Her Highness was here, she sat up immediately."
"If the queen mother is resting, it doesn't matter if I wait any longer."
"Your Highness, please come in quickly."
Xiao Lianyu entered the palace with a smile.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Ning, come here quickly."
Xiao Lianyu walked over, blessed me with a gift, and said softly: "I'd rather say hello to the queen mother."
The Queen Mother patted the edge of the couch and said, "No need to be polite, just sit down."
Xiao Lianyu thought about the mountains of rewards from the Princess Mansion yesterday and said: "It's deer antlers and it's Ganoderma lucidum. Why did the Queen Mother reward Ning with so many things?"
The Queen Mother Chu shook her hand and said, "You, take good care of your body. Don't worry about the wedding date next year, this time will pass in a flash."
Xiao Lianyu said: "I'd rather thank my mother."
The Queen Mother of Chu said slowly: "After you have decided to get married, the big stone in the hearts of the Ai family will be relieved."
Xiao Lianyu smiled bitterly, looking at the Queen Mother, and said: "What the Queen Mother said, it seems that she would rather get married than get married."
The Queen Mother of Chu pinched her face and said, "The Ai family asked you to get married early. It is for your own good, but are you going to hold a hunt next month?"
"I'd rather hear about the hunting." Xiao Lianyu asked doubtfully, "What's going on?"
The Queen Mother of Chu said: "In the past two years, the border has been uneasy, and the people have not lived a good life. The Mongolian envoys came to Beijing this time to seek peace. This is an ancient country with the most diplomatic relations. If they send me to the palace, That's all, but if it's the other way around, Ning, you are the only princess in the Zhou Dynasty, how can the Ai family not think more about you?"
Although Xiao Lianyu didn't think that her brother would send her out for marriage, when the Queen Mother mentioned this, she could only shake the Queen Mother's hand back, with gratitude in her eyes, and said: "It was always the case before. Ning is ignorant, it really makes the queen mother worry."
Xiao Lianyu turned sideways and raised her hand to pour tea for the Queen Mother, "Mother, drink tea."
The Empress Dowager Chu took it, took a sip, and said nonchalantly: "Where can you plan to set up the hunting site?"
Xiao Lianyu said: "Isn't it still undecided?"
The Empress Dowager Chu nodded and said: "Honglu Temple proposed to go to Junshan. The Junshan Villa has many buildings and is so magnificent that the surrounding grounds cannot compare with it."
Xiao Lianyu said: "This hunt is intended to enhance the prestige of our country, and Junshan is the best."
The Empress Dowager of Chu said: "But the Minister of Hubu said that Junshan is too far away from the capital, three thousand miles away. Not to mention that it is not easy for troops to get there and the cost is high. It is not as good as Qishan Villa and Lishan Villa."
Xiao Lianyu was startled.
The Empress Dowager Chu looked into Xiao Lianyu's eyes and said: "Ning Ning, which one do you think is better, Qishan Villa or Lishan Villa?"
Her hand holding the teapot tightened, her eyes rolled up, and she said sweetly: "Mother, what should Ning say about such important national events? Besides... what about the Qishan Villa? Ning has long since forgotten what is like. When it comes to which place is better, Ning ran feels that Lishan Villa is better.”
The Empress Dowager Chu nodded and said thoughtfully: "That's right. You were only five or six years old when the late emperor went to Qishan Villa. It's normal not to remember."

When Xiao Lianyu came out of Cining Palace, she was completely distracted. She walked to Xihe Gate and happened to meet Su Huai'an who was going down to court.
Su Huai'an was wearing a dark purple wide-sleeved court dress with a peacock pattern and a plain gold belt. He was holding several volumes of criminal records. Xiao Lianyu looked at his figure and her eyes froze for a moment.
When their eyes met, Su Huaian walked straight over and said politely: "I have met the princess."
This unfamiliar voice brought Xiao Lianyu back to her senses instantly. She smiled softly and said: "Congratulations to Huai DaG. In just a few days, you moved from the Editorial Department of the Seventh Rank Hanlin Academy to the Department of Punishment. Minister."
The princess was smiling, but she couldn't help but curse: This son of a poor family really stepped on her to climb up. The day before yesterday, he took Xue Xiangyang to search the princess's house, and he was promoted yesterday. Even if it is shameless, he should be considered comes from the word champion.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Su Huaian looked down at her and said softly: "Your Highness, are you going back to your home?"
Xiao Lianyu ignored his idle attentiveness and turned around to leave. Su Huai'an followed him silently, looking at the pearls shaking on her head, her eyes couldn't help but smile.
As soon as she left the palace, Su Huaian saw the pretty-faced guard who appeared on her bed that day.
His eyes suddenly turned cold, and he suddenly felt that the guard should be grateful that he was holding a case file in his hand today, not a sword.
The little guard opened the curtain of the carriage, bowed to Xiao Lianyu and said: "Princess, be careful."
Xiao Lianyu said softly: "Xun Lang, didn't I tell you that you don't have to stand here waiting for me."
Su Huaian took a step forward, frowned and said, "What did you call him?"
The little princess shook the cattail leaf fan in her hand, looked at Su Huai'an seriously, and said word by word: "His name is Fu Xun, his courtesy name is Ziyuan, and he means Huai Da. Do you hear him clearly this time?"
Su Huaian said: "Your Highness!"
Xiao Lianyu’s smile did not diminish and she tapped Fu Xun’s shoulder with her cattail fan, “Come in and sit with me.”
Fu Xun paused, avoided Su Huai'an's gaze, and bowed into the carriage.
Su Huai'an looked at the carriage that was about to leave in front of him, and his heart dropped sharply. He couldn't help but stop the horse and opened the curtain of the carriage.
Xiao Lianyu didn’t expect him to act so boldly, and a sharp look flashed in her eyes, “Presumptuous!”
Su Huaian looked at her and spoke as lowly and softly as possible, "Your Highness and I have already made an engagement. Today I am riding in a carriage with my foreigner. I think there is something wrong..."
"Isn't it appropriate?" Xiao Lianyu sneered and interrupted him, "Now that the imperial edict has been issued, Huai Da should tell him what his identity is. Between you and me, We are observing the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. If you say something inappropriate, it is really inappropriate."
Su Huaian's Adam's apple was slightly swollen, and he took a deep breath and said, "I am here."
Xiao Lianyu glanced at his hand that was clutching the curtain, and said slowly: "It's such a distance, I thought I was too big and ignorant?"
Seeing that he didn't respond, the princess said: "Let go!"
Su Huaian stared at her indifferently, unfazed.
Look at her, right?
Xiao Lianyu curled up her lips, tapped Fu Xun's shoulder with her palm leaf fan again, and said softly: "Xun Lang, I want to eat grapes." The wind chimes hanging on both sides were ringing in the wind, and there were two iced fruit plates on hand.
Fu Xun immediately picked a grape from the fruit plate and peeled it skillfully.
The little princess of the Tian family has always been picky and difficult to take care of. Su Huaian also peeled the grape skins for her.
Su Huai'an saw Fu Xun hand the fresh green pulp to her mouth.
At the moment when her red lips were slightly open and about to be sucked into her mouth, Su Huaian suddenly let go.
The curtain slowly fell, separating the sight.
After a moment, Xiao Lianyu said, "No one can stop me from returning to the princess mansion."
Su Huaian watched the carriage go further and further away, holding his breath and pursed his lips like a knife.
Xue Xiangyang looked at Su Huai'an's stiff back and couldn't help but look up at the sky. Not to mention, the color of the sky today was lighter than blue and thicker than cyan. It really looked like a green-headed mushroom in the mountains. s color.
This Princess Ning is arrogant and willful, and she will be punished. Today, she was given a big blow.
He shook his head, stepped forward, and said to Su Huaian: "Huaida, don't get angry with Princess , go back to the Criminal Department first."

Jingren Palace.
After noon, it rained heavily in the palace, and it rained continuously.
When the lamp was turned on, Xiao Yun was already lying on the bed sleeping. He clenched his fists, stuck his **** out, and frowned, or maybe he was dreaming about something.
Qin Juan couldn't help but rub his **** and yawned. Just as he was about to go to sleep, Zhulan gently opened the door of Nuan Pavilion and whispered: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is here."
Qin Juan said in shape: "That's right."
Then he stood up.
Qin Juan opened the door, a breeze blew on her face, and the ground was covered with light mist.
Zhu Xin put some clothes on Qin Huan from behind and said, "Although the weather is hot now, it is still raining. Please be careful not to catch a cold."
Qin Juan nodded.
She pushed the door open and said to Xiao Yufu, "May you be safe, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yu looked at her and said, "Come here."
Qin Juan walked over and sat next to him. Xiao Yu, as usual, told her about the events of the previous dynasty.
After talking about hunting and choosing a place, Xiao Yu wiped his hands with a towel and said, "Is your son asleep?"
Qin Juan nodded and said, "Well, I just went to bed."
Xiao Yu said: "His stomach doesn't hurt anymore?"
Qin Chan said: "It's better."
After Qin Chan came to marry him, the two became inseparable at night.
Xiao Yun either missed her mother or felt uncomfortable in her stomach. She had been holding Qin Juan for several days without letting go.
Before we talked for an hour, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Zhu Xin said to Mr. Sheng: "Eunuch, the eldest prince is awake."
Eunuch Sheng said with a smile: "How about Miss Zhuxin go to coax you first?"
Hearing the silence outside, Qin Juan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, why don't I take a look first?"
Xiao Yu looked at her with burning eyes and saw through her thoughts, "You are clearly avoiding me on purpose."
Qin Juan subconsciously clenched her fist and said, "Your Majesty, where is this?"
"Don't you know it yourself?" Xiao Yun grabbed her wrist and dragged her into his arms, "Tell me, what do you think? Are you still thinking of becoming a monarch and a minister with me?"
This weird atmosphere between them hasn't lasted for a day or two. It's okay to talk about business, but as long as she is alone, everything is wrong with her.
It got worse these past two days. When talking to him, she would glance out the window from time to time, as if waiting for Xiao Yun to call her.
Everything in the dream was still vivid in his mind. He originally wanted to give her some time, but in the past few days, he suddenly understood that if he didn't expose it, she would be able to stay with him like this for the rest of his life.
No initiative, no rejection, no responsibility.
Qin Juan avoided his eyes, closed her eyes, and said the truth, "I really didn't think about these things in my heart..."
Having never thought about it, Xiao Yu chuckled.
He untied the girdle with one hand, pressed her on the couch, pinched her crotch, and said: "Aling, it's been four years, I won't wait any longer."
