Chapter 176: A thousand cups of wine is less than a bosom friend 1
Liuli immediately ordered the other slaves to prepare meals. Although no one had lived here, it had been well taken care of. When she was wandering around with Xian Zijian just now, she saw that there was an open space at the back of the kitchen where some vegetables and melons were planted.
The fruits grow well, so it is not difficult to prepare some simple dishes.
"Don't be too troublesome. When you first arrive here, you won't do anything by yourself. Guard Jin, please go out quickly and buy some food and wine." Xuan Yi waved his hand, "My favorite princess, what do you like to eat?"
Xian Zijian glanced at Xuan Yi, smiled slightly, and said gently and kindly: "Whatever Mr. Xuan eats, Zijian will eat."
Xuan Yi almost laughed out loud, but he held it back. This girl did it on purpose. From the moment she gave him the wine, everything was intentional. However, he really wanted to see how she was going to continue.
Guard Jin knew that Xuan Yi would not say that he needed him to buy something to eat, so he glanced at Liuli, who immediately smiled and said: "Mr.
He said that the princess he likes came here for the first time and didn’t understand everything. I went to the back to take a closer look, and there were some fresh vegetables in the back, but it’s better for me to watch and feel more at ease.”
Xuan Yi knew that Guard Jin would definitely ask Liuli about what Xian Ziqian liked to eat, so he nodded in agreement and motioned for Guard Jin to leave together, "You're welcome, you don't know the slaves guarding here, so you can feel at ease watching."
Guard Jin and Liuli left together. The other servants just stood at a distance and did not dare to approach. The servants guarding here did not understand why this new favorite princess came and what kind of person she was. Naturally, she served the Queen Mother carefully.
Although the servants brought out from the Empress Dowager's Palace stayed with Xian Zijian for some days in the Queen Mother's Palace, they served her respectfully because of Xian Zijian's status as a princess.
"They must obey the rules." Xuan Yi glanced at the slaves in the distance.
Xian Ziqian glanced at the servants and said gently: "Yes, the Queen Mother asked Miss Liuli to choose. Ziqian is very grateful."
Xuan Yi didn't seem to like Xian Zijian like this, and said lightly: "There are no outsiders here——"
Xian Ziqian suddenly smiled slightly, looked at the servants standing far away, and raised her voice slightly, "Come here, you don't have to all come, just the two of you. You came here with Miss Liuli from the Queen Mother's Palace, right?"
Although the Liuli girl was personally trained by the Queen Mother, she is still a woman, and it is her first time here, but you two are men. Go and help the Liuli girls in the back. By the way, look at the slaves here, which ones you like?
, ask them to accompany you there to take a look."
The two slaves looked at each other, seeming hesitant.
"It's okay, Mr. Xuan is Zi Jian's future husband. Even if you don't say this, for the sake of the Queen Mother, Mr. Xuan will not be rude to Zi Jian."
, in case you are deceived by the people here, it’s better to eat the purple genk, Mr. Xuan’s is not the purple genk.”
"Yes." The two slaves looked at each other again, agreed, and left. There was still a slight hesitation in their steps, as if they were eager for Xian Ziqian to call them back and wait on them from a distance.
Xuan Yi watched the backs of the two servants go away, smiled slightly and said, "Am I negligent? Are they specially arranged by the Queen Mother?"
Xian Ziyan frowned slightly and said slowly: "I have to ask Liuli. This time, the Queen Mother asked me and Liuli to leave the palace together. Liuli is the slave that the Queen Mother has designated to serve me. A slave who is placed in front of me will not come up.
She secretly guarded me, not to mention she was the cousin of Jin Guard. With this relationship, she would naturally think of ways to take care of Zi Yuan. However, these slaves Liuli selected were in the palace of the Queen Mother.
I haven’t seen how familiar they are with Liuli, so I guess it must have been the Queen Mother’s instruction.”
Xuan Yi nodded and said softly: "Looking at the backs of the two of them, they don't look like people who know martial arts. They should be more loyal to the Queen Mother."
Xian Zijian hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Zijian was not worried about this, but the two of them. She started to pay attention to them because they always stood at a distance to serve them. They would never come even half a step closer unless Zijian called them, but Zijian was worried about them.
Zi Yuan accidentally discovered that when Zi Yuan was talking to other people, the two of them would move their lips slightly, as if they were talking to themselves. Then Zi Yuan discovered that the two of them were repeating what Zi Yuan and the person talking to Zi Yuan said.
To speak, they should know how to read lips."
Xuan Yi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xian Zijian in disbelief, feeling very surprised.
Xian Zijian's face turned red and he said softly: "Zijian is just guessing, because little Zijian has no playmates. Except for her brother who occasionally plays with Zijian, sometimes when no one cares about Zijian, Zijian will look at her from a distance.
When chatting with others, I would sometimes guess what they were talking about, so I unknowingly discovered that as long as I tried the same pronunciation based on the shape of the other person's lips when speaking, I would probably know what the other person was talking about, so Zi Qian guessed like this.
"
Xuan Yi smiled slightly and said: "No wonder I saw that you were a little strange when you spoke to me just now. It turned out that I was worried that the inappropriate words would fall into the ears of the Queen Mother. No wonder the Queen Mother chose you. Although she may not know you particularly well, she does have
With your eyesight, you are indeed a girl who looks ordinary on the surface but is actually very showy."
Xian Ziqian smiled bitterly and said lightly: "Sometimes loneliness and helplessness can make people sensitive and rich, because some things can become natural as long as there is enough time. Practice makes perfect."
Xuan Yi didn't say anything, but he saw a trace of melancholy and sadness that could not be concealed in Xian Ziqian's eyes. There was a kind of autumn flavor in it, which was cold, light, alienated and lonely.
"Come, let's drink first." Xuan Yi did not continue the topic. He opened the wooden box on the stone table, took out the wine inside, and poured it into the cup on the stone table. The aroma of the wine immediately hit his nostrils, "Just use this tea cup instead."
Wine glasses, this is fashionable and there are no dishes, how about using the summer sunshine, the breeze among the trees, and the coolness of the yard to cook?"
Xian Zijian smiled slightly and said, "It's a good suggestion!" After saying that, he picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, then smiled sweetly and said, "Zijian likes to drink it all in one gulp."
"Why?" Xuan Yi smiled slightly, and his tone became gentle unknowingly.
At this time, the sun just happened to fall quietly on Xian Ziyuan's hair. Her hair was really excellent, black and shiny, making people want to reach out and touch it. However, it was simply pulled up on her head, with some hair strands scattered randomly.
Hanging on both sides of the cheeks, they are indescribably charming, cute and cute.
