Chapter Ninety-Six: Dignity and Humility
Although Xiyan knew that it was impossible to come to Chengde just to escape the summer, he didn't expect Li Xuan to be so busy, going out early and returning late every day, which was not much more leisurely than when he was at home. She has nothing to do alone, except to enter the palace to say goodbye, which is to wait for him at home.
Sometimes she thinks that there is nothing wrong with this, like every normal couple, she will light every lamp when he is about to come home, she will learn to cook for him what he likes, and she will lean into his arms at night and listen to him tell interesting stories......
So, does he love her? Yuki smiled. Maybe she's really grown up. At the very least, she knew what questions she shouldn't have thought about or asked. On days like this, she is grateful and content, and that's enough.
Today coincided with entering the palace to greet the Queen Mother, and Li Xuan said that he would come to pick her up later. Xiyan asked for peace, and slipped to the small garden behind the palace for a walk as usual. This garden is not large, but there are many rockeries, small bridges and flowing water, which has a unique view. It's just that Xiyan was a little absent-minded because she was thinking about Princess Chunyi, and she didn't notice that there were two richly dressed women sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion at this time. It wasn't until she got closer and saw a group of palace maids waiting carefully and busily that she reacted.
"The slave maid asks for peace for the fourteenth fortune, and the sixteenth blessing for the sixteenth blessing." Xiyan hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Pick it up." Fourteen Fujin asked the maid beside him to help Xiyan with a gentle face. The sixteen Fujin on the side had a faint face.
"Xie Fujin."
"Did you just go to say hello to the royal mother?" Fourteen Fujin asked with a smile.
"Yes." Xiyan replied respectfully.
"There are no outsiders here, so you can be casual." Fourteen Fujin smiled, "You don't have to be so restrained. β
"Slaves don't dare."
"Xiyan? That's your name, right? The Fourteenth Fujin said gently, "Since the Imperial Mother has allowed you to call yourself by your name in private, isn't it a blessing for us that you are a slave?" You just call yourself by your name. β
"Yes, Xiyan obeys." Xi Yan lowered his head, never seeing the sixteenth Fujin glance meaningfully at the fourteenth Fujin.
"I was just talking to Sixteen Fujin about you, your dancing is really good," Fourteen Fujin laughed softly, "No wonder Huang Mama likes you, even I was fascinated by you that night." β
"Fourteen Blessings have been overrated......"
Seeing that Xiyan replied cautiously with every word, Sixteen Fujin also laughed, "On the night of Huang Ama's banquet, I think you are quite lively?" Why is it now poured into a gourd with a sawed mouth? Could it be that we don't have enough face and don't deserve to listen to you say a few more words? β
"No, it's not," Xiyan was so frightened that she knelt on the ground. "It's Xiyan's clumsy mouth, I'm afraid of colliding with the two Fujin."
Fourteen Fujin glanced at Sixteen Fujin disapprovingly, and said softly, "Hurry up." Sixteen Fujin told you to play, why did you take it seriously? β
"It turned out to be a joke." Sixteen Fujin snorted lightly.
Xiyan had to tremble again, and became so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe.
"If you want to say that your dancing is quite passable," Sixteen Fujin suddenly opened his mouth leisurely, "It's just that the clothes you chose are really a little uninteresting." If it's redβ" she stopped suddenly, and chuckled with her handkerchief over her mouth, "look at my memory, and forget that you are not worthy of that color." β
Xiyan's face turned pale, and her head was lowered, "...... Sixteen Fujin said yes. β
Seeing this, Fourteen Fujin couldn't help but be a little excited, "After talking like this for a while, I'm also a little tired." Fourteen Fujin said, looking at Sixteen Fujin, "I'm going back to rest." Are you going or not? β
"Let's go. Why don't you stay here? Sixteen Fujin looked at Xiyan with a smile, "I still think she is interesting, I didn't expect it to be so boring, even if I wasn't tired before, I felt tired of working so her." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Until the group walked away, Xiyan still stood in place. The tears endured and endured, and finally fell.
@@@@@@@@
"You've just gone too far." Fourteen Fujin said.
"I just can't get used to her frivolous look." Sixteen Fujin said disapprovingly. "I don't weigh my identity."
Fourteen Fujin's hand waved lightly in the air, "Why do I smell so much vinegar?" She smiled, "The sixteenth brother just looked at her a few more times, and you are so jealous." β
"Why not just our master?" Sixteen Fujin sneered, "I'm listening to the Fourteenth Brother also Quary's side Fujin is interesting. β
Fourteen Fujin's face turned cold, and he said lightly, "It's really annoying to have such a person dangling in front of me from time to time. β
"If only I could make her ......," Sixteen Fujin's voice became smaller and quieter.
"It's almost okay, it's not good for anyone to make a big fuss." Fourteen Fu Jinyun said lightly.
"I know what I know."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
When she took Xiyan home, Li Xuan obviously felt that her feelings were very low.
"What's wrong?" As soon as he returned to the room, Li Xuan asked directly. "What's going on?"
"What's wrong?" She barely pulled out a smile, "It's nothing." "She's getting more and more useless, and it's easy for him to see through.
"Lying." He demolishes her without even thinking about it. "Tell me, what the hell is going on?"
"It's really nothing." In a cramped state, she suddenly remembered what she overheard about Princess Chunyi from the Queen Mother when she invited An An today.
ββ¦β¦ Can you tell me about Princess Chunyi? β
"Why are you suddenly interested in her?"
"I heard the Queen Mother talk about it today, so I ......"
"I said you had something to do, and you still didn't admit it." He pinched her nose hard. "Is it because she's cranky again?"
"No......" she shook her head. If she hadn't met the Fourteenth Fujin and the Sixteenth Fujin, she might have really thought about it, but now...... She had no time to take care of anything but her discomfort.
"What do you want to know?"
"Hmm......" she thought for a moment and asked, "I only know that she is the daughter of Prince An, and she married Horqin instead of me-"
"She's not doing it for you." Li Xuan corrected. "You weren't born into the royal family, so you shouldn't have been allowed to go to get married."
"But I ...... it at the beginning"
"That's just a mention." Li Xuan is colorful. "The emperor didn't agree in the end, did he?"
"That's because you're willing to marry me." She whispered, "If it weren't for you......"
"There are no ifs, and there can't be ifs like you say." He said seriously. "So you don't have to feel indebted to her in the future."
Xiyan was stunned and forgot to speak for a while. For Princess Chunyi, she really feels indebted...... (To be continued.) )
