Chapter 46 Reunion of Brother and Sister
Su Siman never thought that he would meet his relatives in the palace of Daliang
----------------
In Jiaheng Hall, the queen leaned on the soft couch and put her left hand on the embroidery mat. A maid knelt respectfully, gently raised the plump white hand, lowered her head and carefully painted the elixir, and next to her was also a maid holding the elixir.
The queen held her forehead with one hand and looked down at the little eunuch who knelt ten feet away, "How was it going last night?"
The little eunuch kowtowed and said, "Your Highness did not disobey the meaning of the Empress."
"That's good. You step back." The queen's eyes were slightly closed, and there seemed to be relief on her face. The little eunuch got the order and quickly withdrew from the inner hall.
"How's the prince of Chu?" The queen raised her left hand, blew on the bright red Kodan on the beautifully trimmed nails, and inadvertently raised her eyebrows.
"If you go back to the Empress, His Royal Highness the Prince of the State of Chu has not come out in the post hall of the State of Chu since he arrived in Daliang City yesterday, but someone has visited him." The maid who just painted the queen's nails replied.
"Who is it?" The corners of the queen's lips moved slightly.
"His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness have been there successively, and there are also envoys of Chu who are resident in Daliang to visit the post hall in the evening."
"Oh. I didn't expect that the first one to go was Xuan'er," the queen smiled. "He is affectionate. Did he form a brotherhood with the prince of the State of Chu after a marriage? By the way, doesn't the princess know about this?
"I don't know that there are not many people in the palace who know about her brother's coming to Beijing, and probably no one mentioned it to her."
"That's good. Tonight, the palace will hold a banquet for the prince of the State of Chu, and also invite the princess to come to the banquet together.
"Yes, the maidservant will order you to go down and prepare early."
The queen nodded and paused for a moment, as if she remembered something, " By the way, what time is it now? Did the prince go down to court?
"It's time to go back to the Empress. I think it's time for them to go down."
"I accompanied this palace to the Qingyan Hall. Yesterday, it rained so heavily that I asked him to go to the Xiang Pavilion, which really wronged him. He is in good body, but don't get drenched again... I must go and see him." The queen got up with that, and the maid beside her had to immediately get a cloak, and the umbrella was also in her hand, but she hesitated to open it.
"Madam, it's still raining outside. You haven't recovered yet. What should you do if you catch a cold? Why don't you go when the rain stops? Besides, His Royal Highness comes to say good-bye every day, and he can always see His Royal Highness. Don't worry about this moment.
"Don't say so much, hold an umbrella." The queen ordered that she had already stepped towards the door.
The air is full of dampness, and the strong coolness invades the spleen. Although the rain is no longer as fierce as last night, it is still pattering and does not stop. The lingering always makes people feel a little sad for no reason. The late autumn in the north was very bleak, and the cold rain and sad wind added a little chill.
Su Siman wrapped a large bag and stood in front of the window for a long time until Xianger came over for lunch before leaving the window. After lunch, he went to visit the tourmaline room again.
Bixi can only lie in ** these days. Although Dr. Li's medicine works well, fifty sticks are not easy. According to Dr. Li, Bixi is afraid that he will have to lie in ** for at least ten and a half days before he can get out of bed and walk around.
Although Bixi's injury has not healed, his spirit is not bad. The two masters and servants talked and laughed and had a good conversation.
When she came out, Xiang'er stepped forward and said, "Princes, sister Yurong from Jiaheng Hall has just come. She said that the queen will hold a banquet tonight and invite the princess to come over."
Su Siman said, and her face was slightly surprised: "Did she say anything else?" I was secretly puzzled that after getting married for so long, I received an invitation from the queen for the first time.
"No, I just said that I would invite the princess to the banquet."
Even if Su Siman wants to break his head, how can he get the queen's intention and who he can meet at the banquet?
In the afternoon, the rain finally stopped, but the sky was still not very bright and dark. I always felt like it was going to be dark, and the light was not very good.
When he was about to leave for Jiaheng Hall, Liang Shaoheng came.
Su Siman looked at him strangely. Liang Shaoheng's white and red little face was a little more rosy, like a little girl, a little timid.
"Oh, why are you free to come to Chuxiangge today?" Su Siman bent down and raised his eyebrows to ask.
"I... I'll come to see the royal sister-in-law..." Liang Shaoheng blushed again, lowered his eyelids, and looked embarrassed.
Su Siman felt strange. Liang Shaoheng always went to the East Palace and only went to Qingyan Hall and Qingyixuan. How can he remember her Chuxiang Pavilion today? What's more strange is that he still called her royal sister-in-law. I remember that Liang Shaojun asked him to call him royal sister-in-law last time, but he was still not happy. He has always disliked himself, let alone be close to him. What's wrong with him today? With these questions, Su Siman couldn't help looking at Liang Shaoheng suspiciously. Liang Shaoheng was embarrassed by her and simply lowered his head and said nothing.
"This is for you!" Liang Shaoheng pulled out the hand hidden behind him and handed over the bulging brocade bag in his hand.
Su Siman couldn't touch the door for a moment and didn't reach for it. He looked at Liang Shaoheng doubtfully.
"Remember to eat!" Liang Shaoheng stuffed the brocade bag into Su Siman's hand, turned his head and ran away.
Well, this child is really weird. Su Siman looked at what was in his hand and the little back that was fading away, full of suspicion.
When I opened the bag, there were several small bags in it, and a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine came to my nose. Su Siman took them apart one by one and only knew the red wolfberries, and he didn't know anything else.
Xiang'er also approached and said, "They are all top products that nourish blood and replenish qi, but His Royal Highness Eleven is very picky."
Su Siman stared at the brocade bag and felt more confused. What's wrong with Liang Shaoheng? There must be something wrong with him!
Without for her to come up with a clue, Xianger looked up at the sky and said, "Princess, it's getting late. It's time to go to Jiaheng Hall. It's too late."
There was no way, Su Siman had to order Xianger to collect the things, clean up again, and then left the incense storage pavilion. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Liang Shaojun coming this way, as if he had deliberately come to join her. Su Siman's face was so hot that he dared not face him. Liang Shaojun looked as usual, as if nothing had happened. Well, really nothing happened? Someone was so guilty.
When he arrived at Jiaheng Hall, the eunuch guarding the door outside hurried over and bowed his hand: "Prince Princess, please." He led Liang Shaojun and Su Siman into the inner hall. Although the sky is not bright, the interior is brightly lit and as bright as day.
The table in the hall has been arranged, and the candlestick on the wall is also decorated with candles. The pot of lilies stained with rain and dew on the wall is very eye-catching, and the fragrance of the flowers will be strong and pleasant.
The man's conversation came from the compartment, and a beautiful voice said, "Your Highness, don't be distracted. If I fall, you will lose."
Su Siman was shocked. It was clearly her "brother" voice! Unexpectedly, he would hear his voice in the palace of Daliang. Is it possible that he was hallucinating?! He looked at Liang Shaojun suspiciously. Liang Shaojun also glanced at her, showed a light smile, nodded slightly, and walked straight in.
Liang Shaoxuan smiled and said, "Brother Wenyuan is the brother-in-law of the royal brother, and he is also my brother. You can call me brother Xuan. He is always the fifth Highness. He is too different from me. Well, Brother Wenyuan is skillful in chess. I have been defeated for a long time. I wanted to secretly hide it, but I was really ashamed to let Brother Wenyuan see it out.
Chu Wenyuan also smiled and said, "Where is it? Unexpectedly, Xuandi's chess skills are also so wonderful. In today's two games, you and I will win one game each. Isn't it happy to meet your opponent!"
Liang Shaoxuan said, "I'm afraid the dinner will start later. Let's continue another day!"
"Va very good, very good!"
Su Siman had recovered from the shock and quickly came in to greet the royal brother. The reunion of brother and sister is quite warm.
Chu Wenyuan stood up from the chair, looked at his sister, and said for a long time: "Xing Er, you have lost a lot of weight."
Su Siman's nose was a little sore, and he still made a smiling face and said, "Brother, you are a little fatter, hehe--"
"How have you been recently?"
"Okay, I'm fine. Did the royal brother come to see Xing'er specially?" Su Siman asked with a silly smile, "Are your father and grandmother all right?"
"All good, all good..." Chu Wenyuan's eyes flashed slightly.
Although the time he dealt with him in the State of Chu was very short, the prince brother loved her very much about her stupid sister. In the days in the palace of Chu, the empress dowager and the prince treated her best. Although they don't get along with each other for a long time, Su Siman is very close to him.
Several people chatted for a moment and then opened the banquet. This time was equivalent to a family banquet, and it was rare for the emperor to come. The emperor's words are funny and not put on airs. He is very friendly, but the queen. Although his smile is also general, he still feels a little difficult to get close. At the beginning of the banquet, Su Siman was still a little reserved, and the other three young people were obviously used to big scenes and talked and laughed freely. Halfway through the meal, the atmosphere was very happy, and Su Siman gradually relaxed. After this family banquet, she became a little closer to her father-in-law, and she felt that she was not as close as before.
When he returned to the palace, he was also with Liang Shaojun. He kept sending her to the gate of Chuxiang Pavilion. Su Siman thought he would still sit in it, but Liang Shaojun said that he had something to deal with and asked her to rest early. Although he was a little disappointed, Su Siman only nod his head and told him to be careful on the road.
Su Siman changed his pajamas and lay **, sending away the maids of honor. After tossing and turning, she couldn't sleep, so she put on a thick robe and went to look at the tourmaline. She wanted to talk to her, but there were so many strange things today, which made her a little uneasy. But seeing that the tourmaline had rested, he had to go back to his room.
As soon as he left the door, his head was hit by something. Su Siman touched his head in surprise and looked around, but there was no one. Su Siman only thought he was unlucky and turned around to leave, but he heard a laughter.
