Early the next morning, Duanmuxue arrived at Nuanse Pavilion.
I thought it would be the same as before, just going through the motions, but I didn't expect that girl to actually hand over a few scrolls.
"You, you, you really made a choice, or did you just randomly pick a few pictures to fool me.
Duanmuxue stared at the three portraits presented to her, very excited.
Nuan Se's brows and her heart skipped a beat, and she pointed at her eyes with dissatisfaction.
"Looking at the dark circles under my eyes, you know that I chose them carefully. Besides, are you that easy to fool?"
Her grandmother was no ordinary old lady, she had been a queen, and she was not that easy to fool.
Duanmuxue has a black hair, has she been fooled a lot before
Glancing suspiciously at the green and black eyes under Nuan Se's eyes, Duanmuxue picked up a portrait and opened it.
The man on the scroll has a picturesque face and is a rare handsome man. This is the legitimate son of the Minister of Civil Affairs, the young man she was very fond of at the time. It seems that these portraits are not chosen randomly by her.
Looking at Duanmu's shuddering expression, he raised his eyebrows warmly, "How do you believe it? I didn't sleep all night to choose these portraits."
She had been asked to help her choose some before, but with so many portraits, she doubted whether she had helped her choose.
Duanmuxue put away the scroll and laughed dryly.
"Just choose carefully. Later, grandma will recruit these three young masters into the palace. You can take a look. If you like them, let them come into the palace to serve you."
Duanmuxue said, a flash of excitement flashed in her eyes.
If she can really choose, then the big stone in her heart will fall to the ground.
Nuan Se's body stiffened slightly, and there was a trace of bitterness in his eyes. He turned around and said listlessly, "But it's up to grandma to arrange it. I haven't slept all night, so I'm going to rest."
"Yes, yes, yes, go to sleep. I will help you send these memorials to your mother."
Duanmuxue nodded repeatedly, while clearing away the memorials on the table, thinking about the meeting.
Nuan Se walked to the bed, and a handsome, cold and aloof man appeared in his mind.
Suddenly, Nuanse shook his head, getting rid of the figure in his mind.
That's it, forget about Xia Houchen, it's good to have a beautiful man in the country!
Give up, Duanmu Nuanse
Slowly closing his eyes, a drop of clear tears fell from his eyes.
During lunch, everyone looked at Nuan Se strangely.
"Why are you looking at me? Aren't you hungry?"
As if feeling everyone's gaze, Nuanse reached out and picked up a prawn into his bowl without raising his head.
"Sister, you really chose three men." Bingzhi was the first to be unable to resist, biting her chopsticks and said carefully.
"What man?"
Nuanse frowned and knocked Bingzhi's head in displeasure, "It's a portrait, just a portrait."
Bingzhi held her head in pain and turned around to look for comfort from Chiyu.
Chiyu rubbed Bingzhi's head thoughtfully.
"So you really chose?"
Liang Sheng's eyes widened in shock, his face full of disbelief.
Nuan Se picked up the rice with her hands, sighed softly, raised her eyes and said, "What can I do if I don't choose? You and the third child are already married. I can't keep dragging it out like this, and I don't want my grandmother and me to be married again. My parents are worried about me."
Nuan Se said, lowering his eyes slightly to hide the bitterness in his eyes.
Everyone was stunned, and for a moment they felt that the delicious food on the table had lost its original taste.
Liang Sheng frowned, with an anxious look on his face, "What should Senior Brother do?" He almost rushed out.
After suppressing his emotions, Liang Sheng said disapprovingly, "Even so, you can't just choose someone to get married."
The others nodded sharply.
"Yes, eldest sister, you can't just find a man to be my eldest brother-in-law."
Bingzhi wrinkled her face and looked at Nuanse with disgust.
Eldest brother-in-law, in her opinion, what a sacred title, how could she be so careless and just pick someone to take it
You have to choose from seven to eight, looking at your character, talent, and the most important thing is that you have to be good-looking. Not to mention being more handsome than the second brother or the third brother, you have to be almost the same anyway.
Nuan Se was unhappy for a moment and raised her eyebrows.
"Who said I chose randomly? I chose very seriously."
If she chose randomly, would she spend the whole night
Everyone frowned and said nothing, eating in silence.
Liang Sheng and Han Xiao looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
After lunch, Nuanse went to the imperial study room.
"What should we do now? It looks like the eldest sister is determined not to wait for the senior brother."
Liang Sheng slumped his shoulders and looked worried.
"Eldest brother?"
Bingzhi raised her eyebrows and approached Liang Sheng gossiping, "Is it the senior brother Chen'er that my parents often talk about?"
"Yeah." Liang Sheng nodded.
Bingzhi and Chiyu had never met their senior brother. When the senior brother left, these two were just born.
Bingzhi blinked, her eyes bright.
It turns out that the eldest sister has someone she likes, that senior brother.
She is really curious, what does the senior brother that the eldest sister likes look like
"But where did the eldest brother go? Why didn't he come back to marry the eldest sister?"
Bingzhi frowned, with a hint of complaint in her tone.
In her opinion, if the eldest sister is such a good person, as long as the eldest sister likes that person, that person must also like the eldest sister.
Liang Sheng's eyes flickered, and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes.
The eldest brother has always been cold in the hearts of these people. She even felt that the eldest brother was much colder than the second brother. The second brother may look cold on the surface, but in fact he is still very hot in his bones, at least for them. The little one is always so considerate.
As for the eldest brother, I always feel that he has always isolated himself from them. Even if they are often together, he always looks out of place. No one knows what he is thinking.
At that time, if they had taken the initiative to talk to him, they might not know anything about his whereabouts now.
"Huh? You don't even know where he has gone. What will eldest sister do?"
Glancing at the people who were looking down, Bingzhi pouted, her little face wrinkled into a bitter melon.
Liang Sheng's eyes flashed with distress and worry.
Yes, what should eldest sister do
The eldest sister is already twenty-four. In an ordinary family, she would have gotten married at fourteen.
Ten years, how many ten years can a woman wait for? No wonder the eldest sister gave up.
"I'm going to find Mu Xiaowu."
Han Xiao suddenly stood up and walked out without waiting for anyone to say anything.
"Who is Mu Xiaowu?"
Bingzhi blinked her big eyes with curiosity on her face.
"Elder brother's godbrother, now the general of the country."
Liang Sheng looked at Han Xiao's back and frowned.
The second brother went to find Mu Xiaowu. Does Mu Xiaowu know where the senior brother is
It shouldn't be. If he knew, why didn't he tell him when the eldest sister went to find him
The backyard of the General's Mansion.
A little man climbed up a big tree with short legs and stretched his neck to look at the practice room below, but he couldn't see anything.
Mu Xinluo wrinkled her little eyebrows in annoyance. She caught a glimpse of a small branch extending to the roof of the training room, and immediately climbed up with her short legs happily.
When Han Xiao arrived, all he saw was a small ball of flesh, crawling on a fragile branch, shaking and ready to fall off at any time.
Arrived, arrived.
Mu Xinluo looked ahead with bright eyes, using her hands and feet to speed up.
There was a crisp "pop" sound, and a meat ball fell from the air along with a broken branch.
"ah"
Looking at the ground getting closer and closer, Mu Xinluo covered her eyes with her little hands in fear, "Daddy, help me."
Mu Xiaowu in the practice room was shocked when he heard Mu Xinluo's call. He immediately dropped the red tassel gun and rushed out of the practice room.
Mu Xinluo closed her eyes tightly, but felt no pain. She only felt like she was being pulled by something.
Blinking her big, watery eyes, Mu Xinluo raised her eyes happily.
When she saw Han Xiao's cold and handsome face, Mu Xinluo was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out a small white hand.
"Hello, handsome brother, my name is Mu Xinluo, nice to meet you."
Han Xiao frowned and looked at the little guy in his hand coldly, with no expression on his handsome face.
"Xin'er."
Mu Xiaowu rushed out of the practice room and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mu Xinluo being rescued.
"Daddy."
Seeing Mu Xiaowu, Mu Xinluo's pink and jade-carved face instantly lit up.
That smile as bright as the sun dazzled Han Xiao's eyes.
Mu Xinluo wanted to go to Mu Xiaowu, but at the moment she was hanging in the air, unable to touch the ground.
He raised his eyes and looked at Han Xiao aggrievedly.
Looking at that aggrieved face, Han Xiao suddenly felt soft and turned around with Mu Xinluo in hand.
"Second Prince?"
When he saw Han Xiao, Mu Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, and then he was about to kneel down to salute, but was stopped by Han Xiao.
"Brother Mu, there is no need to be polite."
Hearing Han Xiao's address, the corners of Mu Xiaowu's lips curled up slightly, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
Han Xiao lifted the Mu Xinluo in his hand into Mu Xiaowu's arms.
"Dad, you scared me to death just now."
As soon as Mu Xinluo reached Mu Xiaowu's arms, she hugged his neck tightly, with fear on her cute bun's face.
After confirming that Mu Xinluo was not injured, Mu Xiaowu said with a straight face, "Who allowed you to climb the tree? Do you know how dangerous it is?"
Thinking of what had happened just now, Mu Xiaowu's eyes were full of fear, and he held Mu Xinluo's hand tighter.
"Who makes you refuse to teach me martial arts?"
Mu Xinluo pouted and muttered softly.
Hearing this, Mu Xiaowu's eyes flashed with sadness, then he raised his eyes to look at Han Xiao and said sincerely, "Thank you, Second Prince, for saving my little girl."
"Xin'er still hasn't thanked the second prince."
"Thank you, handsome brother." Mu Xinluo thanked him obediently.
Han Xiao frowned, while Mu Xiaowu looked at Han Xiao with a black line and said apologetically, "My little girl has no status, please don't take offense to the second prince."
"Brother Mu, just call me Han Xiao."
The second prince couldn't bear to hear this sound, so Han Xiao couldn't help but speak out.
"I don't know why you came to the General's Mansion today."
Knowing Han Xiao's temperament, Mu Xiaowu stopped calling him Second Prince, but he really couldn't call Han Xiao out.
Han Xiao glanced at Mu Xinluo in Mu Xiaowu's arms, but did not speak.
"Let's talk in the study."
Understanding that Han Xiao had something to say to him, Mu Xiaowu put Mu Xinluo on the ground.
"Xin'er, go find your mother."
"oh."
Mu Xinluo responded muffledly, turning back three times with great reluctance.
Looking at the two people's retreating figures, Mu Xinluo's little eyes rolled around. When the figures disappeared, she immediately followed them with her short legs.
