Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 197: Opportunity (4)
The only person I saw before was Luo Jinxing. I felt that he was gentle, amiable, restrained and dedicated, without any airs of domineering. To share the burden of a country with him.

It wasn't until this inadvertent moment that she suddenly realized that what she liked was not an ordinary person. If she were to be his woman, she might really have to give up a lot. Can he really concentrate on keeping herself alone and not say anything? I am afraid that the life between the two will not be as easy and comfortable as I imagined, and will inevitably be subject to many restrictions and entanglements...

When she suddenly became distraught, the car had already parked outside the Gong'an gate on the west side of the palace.

Xianglai got off the carriage with Lian Xiangjin and Lian Xiangyuan, and walked towards the palace under the leadership of the little eunuch who came out to pick them up from Chonghua Palace.

The Palace of the Beiliao Dynasty is not comparable to the grandeur of the Forbidden City in the previous life, but it is also full of high walls and towering palaces, which invisibly gives people a sense of heaviness.

Lian Xiangjin originally thought that Xianglai, who had never been in the palace, would be intimidated by the momentum here, but she didn't expect that Xianglai just looked around for a few times and then stopped looking, with a preoccupied look.On the contrary, Lian Xiangyuan, who also entered the palace for the first time, couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice: "Oh, this palace is so big. I thought our Lianfu was big enough, but I didn't expect it to be bigger than Lianfu!"

Hearing her words, the little eunuch leading the way looked back, and Lian Xiangjin quickly touched Lian Xiangyuan with his arm, and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, how can you use Lianfu to compare with the palace, be careful of being punished!"

Lian Xiangyuan shrank her neck in fright and dared not speak out again.

The three of them followed the little eunuch around to the gate of Chonghua Palace where Lian Chongxue lived, and told the gatekeeper that Concubine Lian's niece had arrived, and the palace man went in to report and came out to tell them they could go in, little eunuch Then he took the three of them into the palace.

There are not many concubines of the King of Northern Liao, and the son's interest is not strong. Except for Luo Jinxing, only Lian Chongxue's son survived. Therefore, she is the most honorable among all the concubines. The palace where Luo Jinxing's mother and the Princess of Beiliao lived was no different. The brocade pillars and rich gates were decorated with gold and colored paintings. It was really like a Qionglou Yuyu.

The little eunuch led them through several bead curtains and finally came to Lian Chongxue.

Xianglai peeked up, and saw a woman dressed in jewels sitting on an armchair made of fragrant sandalwood sipping tea, and beside her were two well-dressed court ladies standing neatly. waiting.

Look closely at the woman, although she is a little older, she has pink cheeks, jade skin, and her beauty is not weaker than that of eighteen or nineteen year old girls.It's just that beauty is beauty, but there is a bit of sternness in the corners of the eyes and brows, which makes people know that it is difficult to get along with.

She knew that this must be Lian Chongxue, this time she deliberately lowered her head and walked forward to avoid showing her emotions when they first met.

Lian Chongxue was used to being pampered, holding an exquisite enamel teacup in her hand and only cared about smelling the fragrance and drinking the tea, without raising her head when she heard someone coming in.

The little eunuch brought Xianglai and the three of them to her, and said, "Concubine Huilian, you have to bring someone here."

When the little eunuch replied, Lian Xiangjin had already saluted Lian Chongxue familiarly, and said, "Xiangjin has seen my aunt."

Seeing her salute, Xianglai and Lian Xiangyuan had no choice but to follow, but they didn't dare to be as casual as she was, and lowered their bodies and said: "I have seen Concubine Lian."

Only then did Lian Chongxue look up and saw the three girls in front of her. Of course she recognized Lian Xiangjin as her prospective daughter-in-law. Although Lian Xiangyuan had never been in the palace before, she met her twice when she returned to Ning. She could barely recognize it, and the remaining one was Lian Xianglai, whom she mainly wanted to see this time.

While holding the lid of the cup, she caressed the rim leisurely and said, "They are all from my own family, so there is no need to be formal, just call me aunt."

Then he asked Xianglai: "Are you Yang Mengwan's daughter Lian Xianglai?"

Xianglai lowered her head and said, "Yes, aunt."

Lian Chongxue said slowly, "Well, they say you look like me, so raise your head up for me to see."

Only then did Xianglai control the hatred in her eyes, and slowly raised her head.

But as she raised her head, Lian Chongxue's expression became more and more astonished. When she fully saw Xianglai's appearance, her hands trembled, the lid of the cup in her hand fell off, and the hot fragrant tea in the cup in the other hand also disappeared. Most of it was spilled, and I almost didn't even throw away the teacup.

The maid who was waiting beside her and the little eunuch who brought Xianglai three people in were all taken aback, they rushed forward and shouted: "Oh, what's wrong, Ma'am..."

As they talked, they picked up the clothes, the clothes, the cup lids, and the cup lids, and the other person quickly took the teacup.

Because of their busy work, Lian Chongxue recovered from her astonishment.

Like Lian Xiu, she thought of Lian Fuxue when she first saw Xianglai. Xianglai's age is close to that of Lian Fuxue when she died, and her appearance is [-]% similar. Xue was quite frightened.

After regaining consciousness, she suppressed the fear in her heart, stopped talking to Xianglai, and went into the inner room to change clothes, just taking this opportunity to adjust her mood.

When he came out again, Lian Chongxue completely lost the astonishment just now, and returned to his previous demeanor.

To Lian Xiangjin and Lian Xiangyuan: "You two go down first, I have something to say to Xianglai."

As soon as her order came out, Lian Xiangjin and Lian Xiangyuan had no reason not to disobey, so Lian Shi and Lian Xiangyuan went out with the little eunuch to the side hall to wait.

After the two of them left, Lian Chongxue sent out the two court ladies again, looked at Xianglai's face that was very similar to Lian Fuxue, and said, "You are really my elder brother's daughter?"

Xianglai intentionally teased her, saying: "Naturally, people say I look like my aunt, you can see for yourself."

Lian Chongxue was a little annoyed by the disrespect in her words, her expression became cold, and she said, "What is your purpose in entering Lianfu?!"

Xianglai said: "My aunt's words are funny. I didn't mean to enter Lianfu, but my father asked me to come back. What purpose is there? Besides, what purpose does a person have when he wants to go back to his own home? Is it?"

Lian Chongxue said: "But I heard that you have a very close relationship with Luo Xuan!"

Xianglai smiled lightly, not without complacency in her smile, and said: "Oh? Is that right? I also think he has a lot to do with me. If he can also think that it is best, sister Xiangjin can marry cousin Luo Qian, and I will marry him." Can't you marry the prince?"

"you……"

Lian Chongxue was stunned for a moment, but soon "reacted" self-righteously, and said, "You are indeed seducing him!"

Xianglai said: "When we meet for the first time, my aunt should also save some face for my niece, so don't speak so harshly."
