Chapter 221 Merlin Meets
A light fragrance was burning in the incense burner in the hall. As the warm curtain was raised, a warm wind with the fragrance came to my face. Xu and others entered the door, stood up according to their identity, and saluted them together.
"I've met the Imperial Concubine."
"Don't give me a seat." Concubine Shu's voice was graceful, like a delicate oriole singing, not like a woman in her forties, but like a girl.
Xu and others sat down according to their identities. They raised their eyes slightly and saw Concubine Shu wearing a rose-red rosy rosy, with a honey-colored and a fire fox-haired collar that was long and armored, making her skin look as snowy as she was, and her eyes were full of spring.
After a while, Concubine Shu asked with a smile: "Did Duke Mao come with Miss Lan from the mansion? I have a fate with that child and have never seen him."
Duke Dingguo and Marquis Anlu's family all lowered their eyes and made up their minds to not interrupt.
The wife of Duke Mao Guo was thinking a lot, and she wanted to say that she didn't bring Chu Junlan, but she knew she couldn't hide it.
While hesitating, Ge Shuyu smiled innocently and said, "Go back to the Imperial Concubine, the sister of the Chu family has just visited the Imperial Concubine Ying's place. Before the daughter could talk to Sister Chu for a good time, she hurried away."
Such an answer is simply too obvious!
It was obvious that Concubine Ying ordered someone to come and see Chu Junlan, but when Ge Shuyu said that Chu Junlan took the initiative to see him. These are completely different natures!
The Duke of Maoguo hurriedly said, "Go back to the empress, just now, Sister Lan has been waiting for the empress to see him at the same place with her wife, but someone suddenly came from Concubine Ying's palace to see him..."
"Forget it," Concubine Shu gently put down the tea bowl and interrupted the unfinished words of Duke Maoguo's wife with a smile. "It's not important. If you want to meet, are you still worried that there will be no chance in the future?"
Ge Shuyu seemed to realize that his words were inappropriate, and hurriedly said, "Impress do not forgive me for my crime, but my daughter's words did not explain them clearly."
"It's not a big deal," Concubine Shu smiled, her voice soft, "It's not a big deal. In fact, I'm just worried about it. I'm respectful to believe that the prince is the emperor's nephew. Now that he has recovered, he has received much attention from the emperor. Naturally, his marriage is not careless."
Xu's heart skipped a beat and thought to himself that it was not good.
Concubine Shu was making an indirect attitude: she was not optimistic about the marriage between Chu Junlan and Prince Gongding!
Originally, the Prince Gong Ding's Mansion is in full swing. After hearing that he had recovered, he became a very outstanding young man. He was very respectful to the emperor. Even if the emperor saw him several times, he vaguely looked down on a down-and-out noble family in the Duke of Mao's Mansion. However, because Chu Junlan had changed his "mother's family" and could no longer change. It is natural that he could not change his orders every day, which made people laugh at him.
These things have been pressing on Xu's heart, and he is worried every day. His marriage is no longer optimistic, but now, because Concubine Ying's instigation, Chu Junlan has indicted Concubine Shu.
Wouldn't it be too easy for a favorite concubine who is in power in the inner palace to disturb Chu Junlan's marriage?
Ge Shuyu lowered his head and bent his mouth, and exchanged a look with Mrs. Ge.
I don’t believe that Chu Junlan will be able to marry into Gongding’s Mansion in the future!

At this time, Chu Junlan was not in the palace of Concubine Ying.
The eunuch who led Chu Junlan to a pavilion next to the plum forest, and said with a smile: "Please wait here, Concubine Ying will arrive later."
Chu Junlan had noticed something was wrong and said in confusion: "This father-in-law, it's cold and cold. Will Concubine Ying come here?"
The eunuch said with a tough attitude: "Master, I will just do my job, please wait with Miss Chu." After that, he didn't care whether Chu Junlan had anything to say, and then walked quickly after bowing.
Soon, Chu Junlan was the only one left next to the quiet plum garden.
Chu Junlan couldn't help but quickly analyzed what happened today in his mind. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was deliberately targeting him.
There are two possibilities: either Concubine Ying deliberately called her to leave. Or the eunuch just now was not the one in Concubine Ying's palace at all!
Chu Junlan moved and wanted to go back to Yong'an Palace immediately. But after taking two steps, she stopped again.
Now it is not certain whether Concubine Ying called her to "stop" and I don't know if someone was monitoring her in secret. If she acted rashly, maybe an eunuch would come to question her immediately. It would be a bad thing if the trouble was too big.
But if you don't move, it's hard to get it frozen here all the time?
Just as Chu Junlan was in a dilemma, a mixed sound of footsteps and speech suddenly came from afar behind him.
Chu Junlan looked back after looking back, and saw a line of young men in gorgeous clothes walking towards her, chatting and laughing in the surroundings of the palace ladies. She knew the two leaders, and they turned out to be the second prince Xiao Che and the sixth prince Xiao Lu.
"Madam Hanmei rarely enters the palace, and her father is very happy to find out."
"Yes, my sixth brother, have you told the imperial concubine at this time?"
"I have already told you. My mother's son in front of me said she missed Mrs. Hanmei."
"Hey? Look, who is that person?"
The strange boy suddenly raised his voice and pointed to the white stone pavilion in the red plum forest. He saw a slender red figure hidden among the red plum blossoms, just like a fairy.
The second prince, the fifth prince, the sixth prince and the ninth prince couldn't help but stop.
The second prince stared at him in confusion, met Chu Junlan's gaze, and immediately became overjoyed and ran over quickly.
"Jun Lan, is it you?"
The fifth prince Xiao Xing and the ninth prince Xiao Zheng looked at each other, and the gossip fire ignited in their eyes, and they hurriedly followed him. The sixth prince couldn't help but frowned, snorted, and walked behind him.
Chu Junlan smiled and bowed, "I've seen the Second Highness."
"No gift, why are you here?" The second prince's voice was very excited, and even excitedly forgot that there were three younger brothers behind him.
Chu Junlan looked at the person behind him with a smile and saluted the Sixth Prince: "I have seen the Sixth Prince."
"Forgive." The sixth prince snorted coldly.
"Oh! I'll introduce you to you. This is my fifth and ninth brothers." The second prince finally reacted.
Chu Junlan looked up and saw that he was older, wearing a dark purple cloak, with a positive face, and the fifth prince was the same age as hers. The other boy who looked about the same age as hers, with round eyes and childish eyes should be the ninth prince.
"I have met His Highness the Fifth and His Highness the Ninth."
"No gifts, no gifts," the ninth prince stepped forward with his hands behind his back, looked up and down at Chu Junlan with curiosity, and hit the second prince with his shoulder, "Second brother, this... is it your red-fung confidant?"
The second prince coughed and scolded: "Nonsense, this is the lady from Duke Mao's Mansion."
Thinking of the "Jun Lan" that the second prince called just now, the ninth prince immediately reacted: "The mansion of Duke Maoguo? Your name is Chu... Jun Lan? Are you a little medical immortal?"
"I dare not take it." Chu Junlan smiled.
The Ninth Prince was amazed.
The fifth prince also looked at him.
The second prince asked, "Why are you standing here and blowing the cold wind? Are you enjoying the plum blossom?"
Chu Junlan glanced at the Ninth Prince and felt a little embarrassed.
Because it is said that Concubine Ying, who was seen, was the biological mother of the ninth prince.
Seeing her look of distress, the second prince couldn't help but frown and said with concern: "But what's the trouble? Tell me, can the four of us here still stump you, a little girl?"
