The princess asked her to come over. It seemed that people's attitudes were very tough. Lin Shuran knew that if she could avoid it once, there would be another time, so she asked the coachman to send Xu Minghao and the others home first, and she took Hong Gu to the appointment alone.

.

Stepping into the majestic and magnificent gate of the Princess Mansion, Hong Gu glanced around, her dark eyes hidden with turmoil. She followed Lin Shuran leisurely, always lowering her head slightly.

The maid of the Princess Mansion led Lin Shuran into a large hall. The weather outside was still very hot, but the hall was very cool and comfortable. However, Lin Shuran did not see any ice cubes placed anywhere. The hall was luxuriously decorated and exquisitely furnished.

Everything put there is valuable.

"Mrs. Xu, please wait a moment!" Princess Qingyang was not in the palace at this time. After the maid invited Lin Shuran in, she informed her and left.

After waiting for a long time, Princess Qingyang did not arrive. Honggu looked angry and said to Lin Shuran: "Madam, do you need me to find someone to inquire?"

Lin Shuran stood in the palace and shook her head. Princess Qingyang should be smarter than Queen Wei. She had just fainted once in Fengyi Palace. If she fainted again in the Princess Mansion this time, it would only cause trouble for Princess Qingyang, so this

A princess wouldn't keep her waiting.

Sure enough, Princess Qingyang walked in surrounded by four maids. When she saw Lin Shuran who was bowing to her, she also looked pleasant. She said with a smile: "I have some urgent matters that need to be dealt with, but I have kept Mrs. Xu waiting for a long time."

You won't blame me for this, right?"

"Your Highness is joking, how dare I, my wife!" Lin Shuran's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing. Princess Qingyang's embroidered dress floated past her eyes, and then the princess sat on the phoenix chair and invited Lin Shuran to sit down as a guest.

The maid served fragrant tea, and Honggu stood behind Lin Shuran. She lowered her head and couldn't see clearly the expression on her face. Only her snowy white hair stood out.

Princess Qingyang just raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Hong Gu. She remembered that the last time Lin Shuran went out, there was no such person beside her, but a servant was not worth her trouble.

Lin Shuran shook her head slightly, her eyes full of doubts, and then she heard Princess Qingyang smile again: "I heard that you had a heatstroke some time ago and you are recuperating. I have some good things to relieve the heat, which is just right.

Send it to Mrs. Xu."

"Mrs. Xu, you are so polite. This piece of jade is extremely rare. Wearing it on your body will keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. I am reluctant to give it to ordinary people! Besides, I am a princess and I will give you something. You

Do you want to refuse?!" Seeing that Lin Shuran wanted to refuse, Princess Qingyang's tone became stronger, and a pair of phoenix eyes shone with sharp light.

"Mrs. Xu must be curious about why this princess invited you here, right?" Princess Qingyang had a very friendly attitude when facing Lin Shuran today, and she always had a smile on her face. But the more she behaved like this, the more energetic Lin Shuran became to deal with it.

Seeing this posture, it was necessary to accept this thing. Not wanting to offend Princess Qingyang any more, Lin Shuran stood up and thanked Honggu, and asked Honggu to accept the jade first. Honggu followed her instructions and took the brocade box from the maid's hand.

Princess Qingyang smiled more when she saw that Lin Shuran was still aware of current affairs. Fortunately, her temperament was different from that of Xu Junze. That person was neither soft nor hard, and showed no mercy at all. Dealing with him would make people angry.

His whole body ached, and his stepson Gao Zhan almost died in his hands.

"I heard that Mrs. Xu and General Xu have a very good relationship. You are the daughter of a royal family. It is really wronging you to marry a person who has no father, no mother, no family roots, and a bunch of stepsons!" Princess Qingyang said thoughtfully.

He said, then glanced at Lin Shuran intriguingly, and continued, "Before, my son Gao Zhan had some troubles with the children of the Xu family. He also did some wrong things because of his mother's eagerness to protect him. Fortunately, nothing happened.

What a big mistake. You, the boss of the Xu family, didn’t suffer much from what happened at the Penglai Restaurant. Why should General Xu keep holding on to it? You are his wife, you should persuade him, or you should leave more escape routes for yourself.

of."

"Thank you very much for your kindness, princess. It's just that my wife's health has recovered, and the imperial doctor has also prepared some Qingshu Pills, but she is so tired that she is worried!" Although Princess Qingyang acted friendly and approachable towards her at the moment, she thought of the Xu family and her family.

Due to the conflict between her, Lin Shuran felt that this invitation was not that simple, and was even more afraid to accept her gift-giving gesture.

Lin Shuran saw a piece of suet-fat white jade with excellent texture lying in the brocade box. It looked cool and white, but she raised her head and looked at Princess Qingyang in confusion, not understanding what she meant.

After hearing what Princess Qingyang said, Lin Shuran understood her true intention of inviting him here. It turned out that it was for her stepson Gao Zhan. I heard that her relationship with Gao Zhan had not been very good over the years, but she had a good relationship with Gao Zhan's son.

Very close.

"Yes!" Lin Shuran whispered back without any rebuttal. Her respectful and obedient attitude made Princess Qingyang feel better. As expected, Lin Shuran had a similar temperament to her mother. She looked weak and could be bullied.

There is no scheming, but it can really be used.

After speaking, Princess Qingyang gave an order, and a maid in red came in carrying a brocade box. Then, following Princess Qingyang's instructions, she opened the brocade box and sent it to Lin Shuran.

"I don't have anything else to do in this palace. Mrs. Xu will go back today. When she gets back, she can give more advice to General Xu. My son Gao Zhan has already been punished. Why bother pushing people to a dead end? We are all parents, so let's

He should accumulate merit for his children." Princess Qingyang used both soft and hard words, which contained implicit threats. Lin Shuran pretended not to understand, and nodded humbly in agreement again.

Princess Qingyang was very satisfied with Lin Shuran's performance and asked her master and servant to be sent out. However, when they separated, she raised her eyes and met Hong Gu's. Although Hong Gu immediately lowered her head, she was still in her heart.

I trembled, and I always felt that Hong Gu's face was familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before, but I really thought about it, but I couldn't remember it.

After getting on the carriage home again, Lin Shuran breathed a sigh of relief. She had almost lost two more hairs after dealing with these scheming nobles all day long.

"Madam, are you afraid of Princess Qingyang?" In the carriage, Honggu only relaxed after seeing Lin Shuran leave the princess's mansion. In addition, she just saw Lin Shuran in the mansion showing weakness in front of Princess Qingyang, so she asked aloud.

.

Lin Shuran hammered her shoulder with her hand, and said without seeing Honggu: "I'm not afraid of her, but I feel that there is no need to confront a royal lady like Princess Qingyang, because at present, if we fight head-on, we will end up suffering a loss.
