CHAPTER XX

"Your Highness, can you go to Xia Mansion first?" Xia Fenglan pursed her lips and asked. Xia Mansion Partial Garden, her mother-in-law, lives in the Partial Garden.

"Why not?" Chu Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Xia Fenglan's eyes full of tenderness, "As long as it is Fenglan's request, I will not refuse." ”

Xia Fenglan's cheeks flushed.

The carriage jolted for a while, and then arrived at the gate of the Xia Mansion, surrounded by raging fires.

Xia Fenglan's face was slightly pale, and she grabbed Chu Yunxi's hand and tightened unconsciously: "Mother...... It's going to be fine. ”

"Don't worry, Feng Lan, it's okay, I'll let people watch Xia Mansion." Chu Yunxi patted the back of Xia Fenglan's hand, "If you are really not at ease, go in with me." ”

"Hmm." Xia Fenglan nodded.

"Just a little." Chu Yunxi nodded the tip of Xia Fenglan's nose and said seriously, "Don't get too close to the remote garden, what can you do if it's smoked." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Xia Fenglan.

"Your Highness, where is Feng Lan so delicate." Xia Fenglan said as if complaining, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she put her palm into Chu Yunxi's palm.

Holding Xia Fenglan's hand and feeling the piece of grass in his palm, Chu Yunxi unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, and then took Xia Fenglan into the Xia Mansion.

In the Xia Mansion, Xia Pingwen was standing outside the side garden with a few concubines, staring at the raging fire, Xia Pingwen's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.

He asked the mage to practice in the side garden, and as a result, the whole side garden burned. If Madame wasn't a monster, how could she be on fire in a good way! He shuddered at the thought that he had actually slept with a youkai for so many years.

Xia Fenglan saw Lin Wanrou who was held in Xia Pingwen's arms at a glance.

"Mother." Xia Fenglan called out and walked up quickly.

"I've seen Your Highness, Princess." Everyone in the Xia Mansion saluted.

"Get up." Chu Yunxi nodded and said.

"Feng Lan, why are you here?" Seeing Xia Fenglan, Lin Wanrou took two steps forward and lightly brushed the slightly messy hair on Xia Fenglan's forehead.

"My daughter heard that there was a fire in the remote garden and was worried about her mother." Xia Fenglan said.

"If someone accidentally overturns an oil lamp, it will inevitably catch fire." Lin Wanrou said, "In the winter, when you come out to do anything, you are not afraid of freezing yourself, and you are also troublesome for Your Highness to run away." ”

"It's okay with this king." Chu Yunxi said, "I was also going to accompany Feng Lan out for a walk." Why don't you see Madame? Chu Yunxi said, looking at Xia Pingwen, and sure enough, when he heard his wife, Xia Pingwen's face turned even paler.

She ...... She ...... "Xia Pingwen vomited for a long time, but he couldn't spit out a word."

"Madame is not feeling well, so she is resting in the room." Seeing this, Lin Wanrou explained for Xia Pingwen.

Xia Pingwen looked at Lin Wanrou's gaze and became more and more gentle. Why didn't I realize that Wanrou was so empathetic and so intelligent, ten million times better than that monster.

Chu Yunxi could see Xia Pingwen's inner thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but hook his lips.

As if thinking of something, Chu Yunxi took a step forward and said, "Lord Xia, a few days ago, my uncle and this king said that they wanted a trustworthy person to serve as the head of the household. ”

Xia Pingwen's eyes lit up, the household servant was in charge of finance, which was much better than the criminal department's waiter.

"Then, thank you Your Highness for promoting." Xia Pingwen said, pushing Xia Xin beside him, "I don't thank Your Highness yet." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xia Xin is a little wooden, and he speaks with a straight face.

Chu Yunxi touched his chin, Xia Xin is a person, but he can consider hiring. This kind of wooden character, admits death, and will not betray.

"This king and the adult are already a family, so naturally they have to help the adult." Chu Yunxi smiled and said, just a smile, not to the bottom of his eyes.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation." Xia Pingwen is also a smart person, and he knows that this is an olive branch thrown by Chu Yunxi.

"Auntie, since the remote garden has burned down, you might as well stay with this king for the time being." Chu Yunxi thought about it and said to Lin Wanrou.

"Wanrou is the minister's concubine, and it is not suitable to live in His Highness's mansion." Xia Pingwen said that now only Wanrou can comfort him by his side.

"The affairs of the remote garden still need to be dealt with by adults, do adults have the time and energy to arrange a new residence for their aunt?" Chu Yunxi asked, "Why, my lord said this, do you think that this king can't take care of his aunt?" Chu Yunxi narrowed her eyes, with a slight danger in her eyes.

Xia Pingwen raised his head and met Chu Yunxi's gaze, for some reason, he was shocked, lowered his head, and said, "Don't dare, the minister is just, I'm afraid of disturbing His Highness." ”

"Naturally not." Chu Yunxi looked at Lin Wanrou, her eyes were soft, "Feng Lan's mother-in-law is naturally also the mother-in-law of this king." ”

Chu Yunxi said so, and Xia Pingwen couldn't stop anything.

After talking to Xia Pingwen for a while, Chu Yunxi took his leave.

"Auntie, you go home with Jinxia first." Chu Yunxi let Lin Wanrou get into the carriage first, and said, "This king and Feng Lan have to go shopping again." ”

"Hmm." Lin Wanrou nodded and said, "Then be careful yourself, and don't come back too late." Immediately feeling that his identity had instructed Chu Yunxi, he was a little overstepping, lowered his head, and said, "Your Highness, it is the concubine who has trespassed." ”

"Not at all." Chu Yunxi shook his head, his voice soft, "I am very happy to be cared for by my aunt, for a long time, no one has ever cared about this king like this." ”

Thinking of the-for-tat confrontation between Chu Yunxi and the queen in the palace, Xia Fenglan somehow felt a pain in her heart, and subconsciously reached out and held Chu Yunxi's palm tightly.

Chu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then an unconcealable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The carriage was gone.

Xia Fenglan wanted to let go of Chu Yunxi's hand, but unexpectedly, Chu Yunxi held her tightly with her backhand, not only that, but the two of them also interlocked their fingers.

Secretly glancing at the fingers that were clasped together, Xia Fenglan's cheeks flushed, and she felt a sense of affection.

Tiny snowflakes slowly fell from the sky, wetting the placket.

Chu Yunxi took the oil-paper umbrella handed by Jin Ci and held it above the heads of the two.

Xia Fenglan looked at the light yellow on the top, and only felt a sense of relief. I can't tell if it's because of the oil-paper umbrella on my head that keeps out snowflakes, or because of the umbrella holder next to me.

"Let's go." Chu Yunxi looked at Xia Fenglan, and her dark eyes were gentle.

Those eyes only reflected her alone. It's like heaven and earth, only she is seen.

Xia Fenglan somehow reddened her eyes slightly, this feeling was as beautiful as a dream.

"Why are you crying?" Chu Yunxi caressed Xia Fenglan's cheek.

"Nope." Xia Fenglan shook her head and smiled.

"Feng Lan, you smile beautifully, it's better to smile more in the future."
