Chapter 33:
Early the next morning, Yan Xiruo kept her promise and waited for Xuanyuan Mo to go out early, but the destination she went to was far from the suburbs that Xuanyuan Mo wanted to go, and the direction she took Xuanyuan Mo to was the mansion of the third prince.
Until the door of the Third Prince's Mansion, Xuanyuan Mo had a black face, obviously unhappy, and he didn't even say a word to Yan Xiruo along the way, so she didn't say anything no matter how she coaxed her. In the end, Yan Xiruo simply let him get angry.
The one who came out of the mansion to greet Xuanyuan Mo and Yan Xiruo was the housekeeper of the Three Princes' Mansion, a fat old man, always with an honest smile on his face, looking pure and harmless.
"Slaves participate in Lord Mo, Princess Mo." The housekeeper shook his chubby body and saluted Xuanyuan Mo and Yan Xiruo.
Yan Xiruo just nodded, did not speak, but kept looking at the housekeeper in front of her, she really didn't remember when Xuanyuan Hao's mansion had such a housekeeper.
"The prince and princess are they here to find the Third Highness?" The butler asked softly while leading the way in front, and he even bowed over the way, looking very respectful.
"No, I'm here to find the third princess, my fifth sister." If Yan Xi arrived, she didn't around and said the purpose directly, she was not very willing to confront Xuanyuan Mao.
Since the last time she refused Xuanyuan Hao's request to marry Xuanyuan Mo instead, she hadn't seen Xuanyuan Mo much, and not long ago I heard that he went out to exterminate a group of bandits, and he had just arrived home.
"In this case, the slave will go and report it, and please wait for a while." The butler bowed and prepared to withdraw.
"Wait a minute." Yan Xiruo stopped the butler who was about to leave, looked at him with a smile, and asked, "I don't know if there are any distinguished guests in the mansion of the Third Highness today, I saw several carriages parked outside the door?" ”
The butler's eyes flickered, and he still had that honest smile: "Princess Huimo, there are indeed distinguished guests in the mansion today, the crown prince and the eldest young master of the Yan family, oh, that is, the princess, your eldest brother just arrived at the mansion before you, and is discussing with my Royal Highness at this moment?" ”
"Oh, then why don't you take me over for a while, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and my father-in-law have always been good, what about me and my sister-in-law have a good chat, after all, our sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, I'm afraid that we can't take care of my father-in-law because we chat too much, so I want to trouble His Royal Highness the Prince, they should discuss and play soon, right?" Yan Xiruo's tone was gentle and polite, as if she was really asking for advice from the person opposite, but as long as she thought about her words, every sentence carried irresistible power.
Even if the housekeeper wants to refuse, he doesn't have the courage to say no, even if the prince in front of him is a fool, but the title is indeed above his master.
"The slave will bring the prince and princess over, presumably, my Royal Highness should have finished the discussion, right?"
A hint of disgust flashed in the butler's eyes with his head down, but it was quickly hidden.
Yan Xiruo looked at him happily, what was he thinking, how could she not know, but she didn't want to pay attention to such a small role.
However, it is really a loss of that honest and faithful face.
When the housekeeper took Xuanyuan Mo and Yan Xiruo to Xuanyuan Hao's study, they had just finished discussing things, and they were about to go to the garden to sit at the moment, and they met the housekeeper and Xuanyuan Mo and Yan Xiruo as soon as they stepped out of the study.
"Big Brother Prince." As soon as Xuanyuan Mo saw Xuanyuan Ye, the whole person became happy, trotted a few steps to Xuanyuan Ye's side, pulled his clothes and didn't care if there were other people around, and began to make various complaints: "Brother Prince, Xiruo is good or bad, she bullied me, she obviously promised to take me out to play, but she didn't take me to play again, and ah, yesterday she clearly said that she would come back in a while, but Mo'er waited for a long time and she didn't come back, Mo'er was very angry, Mo'er didn't pay attention to Xiruo." ”
Yan Xiruo silently took two steps back and rolled her eyes, her father-in-law really never discriminates the occasion.
As for the others, when they heard Xuanyuan Mo's words, they all laughed.
Xuanyuan Ye held back a smile, rubbed Xuanyuan Mo's hair, and said: "Maybe it's because your princess has something very important to delay, you are her father-in-law, you have to understand her, you know, and, Mo'er, you are now a person with a wife, you can't be so willful, you know?" ”
Xuanyuan Ye saw that Xuanyuan Mo was no longer talking, so he looked at Yan Xiruo, looked up and down, and asked quite puzzled: "Brother and sister, do you know that this palace is here with the third brother, and you came to me on purpose?" ”
"No, I just happened to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, I originally came to find the Third Imperial Concubine, last time His Royal Highness the Third Prince said that my sister missed me very much, and asked Xiruo to accompany my sister if she had time, and now Xiruo is fine, and the prince is clamoring to come out for a walk, so I want to say that I just came to see my sister, but don't let this sisterhood give time to be rusty." Yan Xiruo bowed slightly, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Xuanyuan Ye just raised his eyebrows, and then looked at Xuanyuan Hao behind him, confirming the authenticity of Yan Xiruo's words.
Xuanyuan Hao's eyes were full of complicated emotions when he saw Yan Xiruo, but when he saw the prince looking at him, he quickly hid his emotions, and then said: "This is true, some time ago, my father invited the envoy of Beiyan to a banquet, and I met my younger brother and sister outside the palace gate at that time, and I did say that the imperial concubine wanted to meet her." ”
"In that case, why did my brother and sister come here?"
Yan Xiruo still had the same smile, raised her eyes to look at Xuanyuan Ye, her eyes were clean and clear, without a trace of emotional fluctuations, as if her every word would come from the heart: "When I was in the mansion of the Third Highness, I accidentally saw a few carriages at the gate of the mansion, presumably there must be guests, so I asked the housekeeper, and he told me that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest brother were here." I just happened to catch up with my sister, I guess I may not be able to take care of my prince, think about it carefully, the prince has always been more sticky to His Royal Highness the Prince, so he took it upon himself to let the housekeeper take me to find His Royal Highness, and I hope you don't get angry. ”
"How come, since I want to catch up with your sister, as far as I know, you haven't seen each other for ten years, it's time to have a good chat, I have finished discussing the matter with the third brother, and I am talking about going to the garden to sit and sit, just enough to take Xiaomo with me. You can go with confidence, this palace will be optimistic about him. ”
"Then Xiruo will thank His Highness first." He helped himself slightly and expressed his gratitude.
"Since my brother and sister are here to see the imperial concubine, let the housekeeper take you over." Xuanyuan slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, as if smiling rather than smiling.
And Yan Ruijing, who had been standing aside, never said a word from beginning to end, just stared at Yan Xiruo quietly.
