Chapter 37 She doesn’t want to be arrogant with someone she doesn’t like

 Entering Anxi Hall, the four of them asked the old lady how to sit down.

The old lady said straight to the point: "The Ninth Princess was ill a while ago." As she said that, the old lady's tears couldn't stop falling. She didn't want her children and grandchildren to see her sadness, so she quickly wiped away her tears. , pretending to smile and said: "Brother Ling handed the sign to the palace a few days ago, and I thought about going to the palace to see her."

Xu Wanning sat under the old lady, brought the tea to the old lady, and asked: "Is there a reply from the palace?"

The old lady said: "I replied to the letter this morning, saying that we are allowed to have two female relatives the day after tomorrow."

“You are actually allowed to go to two?” Xu Wanning looked at the old lady in surprise and said, “In our house, you are the only one who has always had an official order.”

Li Xian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile on his face: "Maybe the superiors are extra merciful for the sake of our family's loyalty."

The old lady nodded slightly, looked at Xu Wanning, then at Jingshu, and said, "Three girls have always had bad tempers with Qingluan. Which of you two will go with you?"

 Xu Wanning is a lively person, and she wants to go there in her heart.

Although she came from a noble family and had seen a lot of the world, she had never had the chance to visit the forbidden areas of the inner palace.

 It's just that Jingshu is here, so she doesn't easily argue.

 After all, Jingshu is the wife of the Crown Prince and has a higher status than her. It is fitting for her to go to such an occasion.

Xu Wanning pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Of course it would be more appropriate for the second younger brother and sister to accompany their grandmother."

The old lady also meant the same thing. She looked at Jing Shu and said, "Then Shu'er can accompany me into the palace tomorrow."

As he said that, the old lady looked at her two grandsons.

The former dynasty and the harem are inseparable. When women enter the palace, they are naturally involved in the political affairs of the men.

Li Ling sat next to Jing Shu, still wearing his usual indifferent face. Li Xian put down the tea cup and looked around as if nothing happened.

When the old lady saw that her two grandsons did not express their opinions, she looked at Jingshu again and asked, "Is this settled then?"

Jingshu smiled slightly and said slowly: "I have just taken charge of the house and have been extremely busy these days. Why don't you ask my sister-in-law to accompany you?"

Xu Wanning thought that she would definitely be out of luck. She had already thought about it. She was sitting aside blankly, thinking about how to deal with the concubine that Li Xiangang had accepted. When Jing Shu refused and let her go, she immediately regained her energy and sat down with a small body. She had to stand straight and looked at the old lady eagerly.

Hearing this, Li Xian immediately focused his eyes on the old lady.

The old lady looked at Jingshu and replied: "I only came back in half a day, and there is nothing important at home."

Jingshu glanced at Li Ling aside subconsciously.

Li Ling still had no expression.

She looked at the old lady, still with a warm smile on her face, and replied: "I really want to accompany my grandmother into the palace. Firstly, I have never been to the inner palace at this age, and secondly I want to see the world. Come on, the emperor's cousin is in many troubles, and I am also very concerned about her."

Jingshu paused for a moment, picked up the teapot and filled the old lady with tea, and then said: "It's rare for the superiors to show mercy and allow us to reunite with our flesh and blood in the palace. I thought that my cousin must want to see the person closest to me more. Of course, my grandmother. Needless to say, she is my cousin's biological grandmother. Naturally, my cousin is looking forward to you as much as the stars and the moon. It's just that I have just entered the palace and have never met the emperor's cousin."

As she spoke, she looked at Xu Wanning and said, "My sister-in-law has been in the family for five or six years. Compared with me, she naturally understands my cousin better, and my cousin is closer to her."

Seeing that the old lady seemed moved, Jingshu continued: "Our family is together every day. My cousin suffered such a great injustice alone in the palace, so she must have a good talk with her relatives. So I think it's my fault, It's better to ask my sister-in-law to follow you. My cousin knows my sister-in-law very well, so it's easy for me to tell you what's on my mind. If I go, she won't be able to let go because of her dignity."

What she said made the old lady nod her head repeatedly and praised: "Shu'er is still careful and really thinks about your cousin, but I, the grandmother, stand on the side of our house on this matter." As he said, She looked at Xu Wanning and said, "Then please accompany me." Xu Wanning immediately replied crisply, "Okay, I'll pack it up when I get back, and I'll accompany my grandmother to the palace the day after."

 This matter has been agreed upon.

Jingshu let out a long sigh of relief as she no longer had to deal with people she didn't like.

Li Ling remained expressionless.

Li Xian put down the tea cup and flicked the paper fan to look at Xu Wanning, with a slightly proud look on his face.

Xu Wanning rolled her eyes at him fiercely, turned her head, looked at the old lady and then at Jing Shu with a smile.

 The four of them chatted with the old lady for a while, and did not leave until the full moon rose into the sky. Li Ling and Jing Shu walked towards Qingfeng Garden, while Li Xian and Xu Wanning headed towards Bitangju in Xiyuan.

Hearing that he was going to enter the palace, Xu Wanning felt happy. She had left all the depression and unhappiness of the past few days behind, and her steps became much brisker.

Li Xian glanced at her and said, "You just don't have a heart, you have no vision at all."

 Li Xian is a literati, and his aesthetic appreciation of women is more inclined to the elegance school. He often dislikes Xu Wanning's carefree temperament.

Xu Wanning was already angry with him, but seeing him ridiculing her again, she asked angrily: "Why am I so careless?"

Li Xian stood up and replied with a cold face: "The palace graciously allowed two female members of our family to enter the palace because of my merits in controlling the water this time. Can't you understand?"

Xu Wanning snorted coldly: "You have merit, but it's not my turn. The second brother and sister are the crown prince's wife. I can enter the palace because they are sensible, and the one who gave it to me is not." She paused, and sarcastically said to Li Xian in return: "If you really have the talent, you can also earn a life for me."

 “Vulgar!” Li Xian threw this sentence away and walked forward angrily.

Xu Wanning was also furious.

The two of them arrived at Xiyuan one after another. They happened to pass by Chenxi Pavilion where Gong Ji lived, and Li Xian stopped subconsciously.

Xu Wanning caught up and sneered: "Go in if you want, why bother standing here stupidly."

Li Xian glanced at his wife guiltily and replied, "I'll go back and stay tonight."

How could Xu Wanning not see what he was thinking, and said disdainfully: "Don't you think I'm vulgar? Of course there are gentle and charming ones, so why should I force myself with duplicity?"

Li Xian put his arms around Xu Wanning's shoulders and said with a smile: "I'm just joking, why should I take it seriously, madam? I'll go back to accompany you tonight."

Just as he was talking, the sound of piano and the soft singing of a woman came from the Chenxi Pavilion, and Li Xian loosened his hold on Xu Wanning.

"It's starting to call spring again." Xu Wanning looked at Li Xian coldly and said, "Go in quickly. If you don't go, she may attract all the male cats in the area."

Li Xian's expression was ugly, and he glared at Xu Wanning and said, "You are also a noble girl, why can't you change this vulgar habit?"

Xu Wanning's phoenix eyes stood up, she pointed at Li Xian's nose and cursed: "No matter how vulgar I am, I am better than a pervert like you. If you dislike me, I still despise you." After that, she turned around and turned her head. Gone without returning.

Li Xian was so angry that he gritted his teeth and finally raised his legs and walked towards Chenxi Pavilion.
