OBS Chapter 241 Meeting Senior Sister
Chapter 241 Meeting Senior Sister
The next day, when Lou Xiao was going to the palace to look for His Majesty, he happened to see people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion leading various men and women to enter the main gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.'
Is there a new person in the Zhenguogong Mansion?
Lou Xiao didn't think about herself at all, and said to the people around her, "Tell Lou Hong that Yushengyuan doesn't need to add anyone, and don't let those rough hands and feet come."
It's not that I dislike it, I just want some peace and quiet.
The one who knew the inside story stammered, "Miss - those people seem to have been specially selected for you by Master Hong."
Lou Xiao, who was about to get on the carriage, stopped and said, "Chosen for me? There are enough people in Yusheng Courtyard now, what else are you choosing?"
Seeing that she really seemed to know nothing, the maid explained,
"Didn't you invite the imperial physician yesterday? Master Hong went to ask about the reason and listened to the imperial physician's advice. I will start preparing for you today.
It is said that other young ladies of your age would have to have a few loyal servants around them.
Your Majesty has to approve your marriage, and Master Hong doesn't dare to find a young man from the capital for you, for fear that you might not like him.
But it would be nice to pick out some little servants for you to play with."
Lou Xiao understood that it was all the fault of the imperial physician that day.
She wanted to say something else, but it was too late to enter the palace.
There was no time to think about it. She sighed and decided to go see the emperor's sister first.
I will explain the imperial physician’s words to Lou Hong when I come back.
Along the way, except that I secretly looked at her more often, there was no other difference from before.
After not seeing each other for more than a month, the emperor's sister still hasn't changed at all.
She sat at the desk in the upper study, flipping through memorials. The sunlight streaming in through the window cast a layer of golden light over her entire body.
Xiao Zhengdu arrived earlier than her. He smiled when he saw her, but soon frowned in dissatisfaction.
Because Xiao Zhengze quickly stood up and ran over, rushing towards Lou Xiao.
She wanted to hide, but thinking of Xiao Zhengze's temper, she didn't know how sad he would be if she hid.
So she could only be tightly embraced by Xiao Zhengze, with his head buried in her neck and cheering softly, "You're finally back!"
Xiao Zhengdu at the back turned his head away, pretending not to see anything. Lou Xiao raised her hand and patted Xiao Zhengze on the back.
"Are you okay, Akura? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's fine, but you made me worry for a long time." Xiao Zhengze knew that Li Huaiqing was not a good person. Something bad would happen when he was with him.
After Xiao Zhengdu left, although he was unhappy, he was better off than Li Huaiqing. At least the building was intact and there was no danger.
"How about you, Xiaoxiao, are you injured? Don't put yourself in danger next time. When I found out you were missing, my sister and I were so worried." Xiao Zhengze kept talking about his concern. Xiao Zhengdu was so upset that he finally glanced over.
In the end, His Majesty, who had closed the memorial, spoke up, interrupting Xiao Zhengze's endless pestering.
"Xiaoxiao, come forward."
Lou Xiao patted Xiao Zhengze's back again, signaling her to let go. Only then did he reluctantly let her go and let her go to see her sister.
Lou Xiao approached and was about to kneel down to salute, but His Majesty excused him and stretched out his right hand, "Come here and let me see."
Lou Xiao stood up, walked around the desk, and came to the front of Her Majesty. She held both of his hands.
"Just be fine, don't be impulsive again and make me worry about you."
The Queen's eyes are deep and kind, with the power to see into people's hearts.
Lou Xiao nodded shyly, and whispered, "I understand, Your Majesty."
"Have you been feeling unwell these days? I heard that the imperial physician was invited to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion yesterday. Are you feeling unwell?"
Thinking of the imperial physician invited by Lou Hong, it seemed that the matter could not be hidden from His Majesty, so Lou Xiao answered honestly,
"I do feel a little dry. Perhaps it's because I'm not used to the climate here and haven't adjusted to the summer in the capital yet."
Yunwu Mountain is humid all year round, and because it is located in the mountains and forests, it is extremely cool even in the hottest summer days.
As summer approaches, the capital city becomes dry and increasingly hot. She had just returned to the capital city from Yunsu City in the south, so perhaps she needed some time to adapt.
Her Majesty the Queen laughed, "Really? That's not what the imperial physician said."
Lou Xiao sighed and refused to speak. The Queen patted her hands and put them down.
"Xiaoxiao has grown up——"
It's time to think about lifelong events.
Lou Xiao hurriedly defended himself, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is talking nonsense. I am a martial artist, pure-hearted and free from desires. How could I—"
She suddenly remembered that there were two other people present, so she stopped talking.
But he still muttered, "Why should I vent my anger? It's just the hot weather. Now that Your Majesty is here and it's cool, I feel good."
Seeing that she was being stubborn, His Majesty said casually, "Why don't you let Ling Yu pick a few servants for you? The men in Xiejing Palace are all selected to enter the palace. They are of good family background, knowledge and good health.
You can put your marriage aside for now, but you can't be without someone by your side."
What does this mean?
Not to mention that Lou Xiao was stunned, Xiao Zhengdu and Xiao Zhengze also felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on them, and they felt cold all over.
Your Majesty should give her someone.
While Xiao Zhengdu was still thinking of a solution, Xiao Zhengze started to make trouble.
"Royal sister! All the people in Xiejing Palace are yours, how can you let them leave the palace at will!
I think Xiaoxiao is complaining to you about her poverty. I guess the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion didn't have time to prepare ice for her, so she feels hot. You can just give her some ice!"
Lou Xiao silently apologized to Lou Hong. The Queen held the pen and glanced at the inkstone.
Lou Xiao was very discerning when grinding ink, and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, how dare I ask for your people? I wish there was no one to serve me in my yard. You know, I like quietness since I was a child."
She doesn't like quietness at all, but it has to be quiet in the misty mountains.
The Queen heard this and remembered the chatterbox girl she met when she went up to Yunwu Mountain in despair.
It was as if he had lived alone in Yunwu Mountain for too long and was afraid of losing his ability to speak. Every time he saw her, he would talk endless nonsense.
Living alone for a long time, it is indeed difficult to tolerate having someone around.
The Queen tilted her head and said,
"Xiaoxiao, you have to get married eventually. It's just a few men. If you don't like them, just keep them. It's not a big deal."
Lou Xiao kept grinding ink on his hands and said sincerely,
"Your Majesty, it's a waste of money to keep people who don't work. No one in the Zhenguo Mansion dares to order the people you gave me. I am a forgetful person, so they will definitely cheat on me."
"He dares--" the Queen said, and she really wanted to let her go.
"It seems that you really want to complain to me about your poverty. Then, as the King of Hanhai said, use ice to cool off the heat.
Come here, ask the Imperial Hospital to prescribe some antipyretic medicine for the Duke of Zhenguo to take back. Since he refuses to take the ones from Xijing Palace, then take the ones from the Imperial Hospital."
Lou Xiao was stunned, and Xiao Zhengze quickly spoke,
"Duke Zhenguo, why don't you thank me quickly? You are the only one in the court who received the first reward from His Majesty in the summer!"
Xiao Zhengdu slightly curved the corners of his lips, as if he was watching a good show.
