The Empress Dowager glanced at Yurun and said, "Go and order the meal to be prepared. Let's sit under the big banyan tree in the courtyard. It's comfortable to look at the green and cool down. Let Liuli help you. Although you made a mistake, what's the point?
The most reliable slave in the Ai family."
Xuan Yi and Xian Zijin were walking at the back of a group of people. Xuan Yi suddenly glanced at Xian Zijin and smiled softly, saying it was not a taunt or a question, "My favorite princess, don't you feel very happy? You finally let your sister lose it in front of you.
Face, you beat your sister in the first step."
Xian Zijian glanced at Xuan Yi, gave a faint wry smile, and lowered her voice and said: "How can there be victory or defeat in this world? My sister and Zijian were born to the same mother and raised by the same father. What is winning and losing? They are just chess pieces.
Manipulated by others. Mr. Xuan, what do you think of your sister? Now that you are asking Zijian, do you hate Zijian or are you relieved that your sister will not achieve good results?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Xuan Yi's eyes, but he just smiled and said half-truthfully: "Someone will pick the flowers, I'm just attracted by her appearance. It's a pity that they are not the same travelers, although I don't want her to eat her own food."
The consequences were bad, but he was too lazy to save her. What happened to her had nothing to do with me. Maybe if she had chosen to persist, I would have felt pity for her. At least she had been persistent and innocent for once. What a pity! Xian Ziqian, don’t talk to me.
Talking about what is right or wrong, there is no victory or defeat in the world and there is no right or wrong. It’s just that your chess piece is more important than Xian Ziyi.”
Xian Zijin breathed a sigh of relief, as if there was a feeling of depression stuck in her chest, but she couldn't vent it.
"Hmph." Xuan Yi snorted softly, not looking at Xian Zijian, but at the people walking in front of him, and said indifferently, "Your sister used to treat me as a chess piece. What a pity!"
Xian Ziqian didn't know how to swallow the food in front of her. She didn't eat much. The only thing she could do was smile slightly, but she couldn't hear a word in her ears. Her sister was lying, she knew it, but she couldn't
how?
"My favorite princess." Xian Zi Ai picked up the wine glass in front of her and looked at Xian Zi Jian. Her voice was soft and gentle, revealing a sense of pity, "Zi Ai will go to the border with her husband. Her parents are old and her brother is away.
I won’t be able to come back for a while, so I have to ask my favorite princess to take care of her. Zi Ai wishes her favorite princess and Mr. Xuan to get married soon and grow old together.”
Saying that, Xian Ziai raised her head and drank the wine in the cup.
"Yes, Brother Xuan, if I leave, I may not be able to attend the wedding of Brother Xuan and the princess he likes." Guan Yupeng also picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Then let's have a drink first. I wish Brother Xuan and the princess he likes a loving couple and a happy baby.
Takako, please!"
Xuan Yi picked up the wine glass, glanced at Xian Ziqian who was still in a daze, handed the wine glass in front of her into her hand, smiled and said, "Okay, I will thank Brother Guan and his wife together with the princess I like."
Xian Ziyi took the wine glass handed over by Xuan Yi and put it to her lips. It was slightly spicy and drank it in one gulp. However, she saw that Xian Zijia seemed a little careless. When Aning poured the wine for her again, she picked it up and her hand trembled slightly.
Some wine spilled on her dress, and she was busy wiping it with the silk handkerchief in her hand.
The wind picked up slightly, and there was a slight fragrance in the air. It was the fragrance of various flowers and plants in the courtyard, which lightly entered the nose.
Xian Ziyuan suddenly took a deep breath quietly, and her eyes fell on Xian Ziyuan. She seemed a little surprised. She was holding the wine glass but forgot to put it down. When Liuli saw it at a glance, she immediately took the wine glass from Xian Ziyuan's hand with a smile, put it on the table, and started again.
More drinks.
Xian Ziqian suddenly turned to look at Xuan Yi, opened her lips, and wanted to speak, but glanced at the Queen Mother, swallowed what she wanted to say, and looked at Xuan Yi with a pleading look.
Xuan Yi was separated from her by the Queen Mother, and when he passed the wine just now, he passed the wine glass in front of the Queen Mother. Naturally, he couldn't talk to her through the Queen Mother, so he pretended not to see her and continued to chat with Guan Yupeng.
Xian Zijia retracted her gaze, breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to look at Xian Zijia, who had wiped her clothes and wine with a silk handkerchief. Her mouth opened, but she still didn't say a word. The expression on her face suddenly became contradictory.
, I lost my appetite even more, and the food in front of me was never touched again.
After finally getting through it, Guan Yupeng did not stay any longer and left with Xian Zi Ai. The Queen Mother was indeed a little exhausted and was supported by Liuli back to her room to rest. The little father-in-laws in the courtyard packed everything up very quickly.
, only half a cup of tea later, the courtyard returned to calm, and the chattering parrot rarely interrupted.
Xian Ziqian seemed to be eager to find Xuan Yi. When she saw that everyone in the courtyard had dispersed, Xuan Yi was standing in front of the parrot cage looking at the parrots. He didn't care about the rules about men and women not being intimate. He walked over a few steps and stood behind Xuan Yi.
He said softly: "Mr. Xuan, Zijian has something to ask for your help."
Xuan Yi turned around and glanced at Xian Zijia, seeing the conflict on her face. He remembered her eagerness to talk to him during the meal, and asked lightly: "Do you want to ask me to help keep Xian Zijia in the capital, or do you want to ask the Queen Mother to cancel you?"
An engagement between me?"
Xian Zijian didn't care what Xuan Yi's words meant, and immediately shook her head, and then said softly: "No, Mr. Xuan, do you remember that when Zijian was mending clothes before, you asked if the clothes were still in good condition.
But if you are not careful, problems may arise on some occasions. Is this a sentence? If Zi Yun tells you now that there is indeed something wrong with that dress, but Zi Yun doesn’t understand what is wrong at the moment, so I would like to ask
Mr. Xuan, would you like to help clear up the confusion, Mr. Xuan?"
Xuan Yi looked at Xian Ziqian and did not speak, but nodded slightly.
Xian Ziqian stretched out her right hand and slowly opened it. There was a beautiful bead in her hand. It was a pearl, round and crystal clear, of the best grade. Her hands were beautiful, fair and slender, with full fingertips and red nails.
, there are no traces of years of working with needlework.
Xuan Yi didn't speak, waiting for Xian Ziqian to continue.
"I secretly pulled this off when my sister wasn't paying attention." Xian Ziqian frowned slightly, looking a little worried, but tried to control the speed of her speech, "This is decorated on my sister's dress, and it reaches the waist in the middle of the dress.
On the right side, there are a total of 96 such pearls, which are used to decorate the peacock feathers perched on the branches among the flowers. Ordinary people often use silk threads to penetrate pearls and embellished them on their clothes, but my father used a very clever method.
The pearls are attached to the clothes in a way that is integrated with the feathers embroidered with various colored silk threads and money."
