Xian Ziqian understood that Jin Guards did not want to reveal their destination here. She had already refused to see Guan Yucheng and her eldest brother Xian Jian'an today. Xuan Yi no longer argued with her. It would be inappropriate for her to refuse again this time.
.So he nodded, "Okay, I'll go change clothes."
"Second Miss." Xiaochun stood up uneasily. She didn't want to stay here alone. Although nothing happened, from the moment she woke up until now, she felt like someone was staring at her from behind. Second Miss was going out at this time.
She would definitely have to come back very late at night, and she might even have dinner outside. She felt really unsure about staying here alone.
Xian Ziqian glanced at Xiaochun and found that there was some fear on her face. Xiaochun has always been a person who likes liveliness and brightness. When she was in the Xian family, she always served her mother. There were all familiar people coming and going. The Xian family was usually very lively.
"Xiaochun, take this free time to visit the wet nurse. I also want to eat the side dishes she made. After you go, ask the wet nurse to prepare some side dishes. I will pick you up when I come back from outside."
Xiaochun nodded immediately. She didn't feel anything bad about being here when the second lady was there, but she was a little scared when the second lady was not there. Maybe it was too quiet and cool here, and she wasn't used to it yet.
"Liuli, find a carriage to take Xiaochun to her mother's house." Xian Zijian glanced at Liuli and said softly.
Liuli nodded, Xiaochun accompanied Xian Zijian to change clothes, and Jin Guards stood waiting.
The carriage of Prince Xuan's Mansion passed through the market and passed in front of Prince Xuan's Mansion but did not stop. After walking for a while, the carriage stopped. Liuli opened the curtain, slightly surprised, and said softly to Xian Ziqian: "Hey, this isn't it.
Are you living in Xiaoyao? Mr. Xuan brought you here. Is it possible that you two will live here after you get married?"
Xian Ziqian had never heard of the name Xiaoyaoju, so she got out of the carriage with Liuli's men. In front of her was an elegant and clean courtyard, not big or small, close to mountains and rivers, the scenery was very quiet, the door was ajar, and there were servants in front of it.
They are busy, busy but not chaotic.
"This is Mr. Xuan's private courtyard, his courtyard." Liuli supported Xian Zijian and whispered.
Xian Ziqian really likes the scenery here. Although it is not as grand as the Refuge Garden, it feels more stable and practical. Moreover, she can hear the gentle sound of wind in the mountains, and can also hear the sound of running water passing by her ears. There is a slight hint of mountains in the air.
The aroma of trees and flowers by the river is refreshing.
"Do you like this?" Xuan Yi's voice suddenly sounded, gentle and slightly smiling.
Liuli immediately smartly let go of Xian Zijian's hand, quietly slowed down her pace, and fell behind with the Jin guards who were following behind. The two of them looked at each other, and no one expected that Xuan Yi would personally welcome him out of the door.
"I like it very much." Xian Ziqian did not hide her love. She looked at the surrounding scenery with clear eyes. Following Xuan Yi into the door, she said slowly, "Just now, Miss Liuli said, this is your private courtyard.
Your own courtyard."
"Yes." Xuan Yi smiled slightly and said half-truthfully, "This will also be your future residence. I will consider the wedding again, but you really can't live in Prince Xuan's Mansion. In fact, I think this place is better than
Prince Xuan’s Mansion is more suitable for you.”
Xian Zijian was startled. She didn't expect Xuan Yi to give in, so she paused for a moment.
"In a few days, a guest will come to Prince Xuan's Mansion. To the outside world, she is a family member of our Prince Xuan's Mansion, but her status is special. You have always lived among the people and do not understand the situation in Prince Xuan's Mansion. It may be difficult to get along with the people there.
Not used to it." Xuan Yi explained patiently, "At the same time, you must also be clear that although you are the favorite princess canonized by the emperor, and the queen mother personally granted the marriage, Prince Xuan's palace will never favor you because of these.
If you are superior to you, you may even be inferior to you. This is also to prevent the Queen Mother from being too self-righteous."
Xian Ziqian took a look at the scenery in the courtyard. She liked it, and said with a bit of self-mockery: "I should be grateful that my chess piece can have such a comfortable and stable place."
Xuan Yi heard the self-mockery in her words, smiled and said: "You are too important as a chess piece, otherwise, why would I have to personally choose Xiaoyaoju as our future residence? Here, you are still the number one
The only person who entered the courtyard was not a person from Prince Xuan’s palace.”
Xian Ziqian nodded and said softly: "Well, Ziqian will try his best to think for the best in everything. For example, this time, let's just think that Mr. Xuan's conscience found out that it was better to build a seven-level pagoda."
"Haha." Xuan Yi laughed. Xian Ziqian's words were a bit self-deprecating and a bit teasing Xuan Yi, but they did not make Xuan Yi angry. On the contrary, he thought she was very cute and naughty.
Xian Ziqian looked at the courtyard in front of her curiously, and Xuan Yi led her to sit down in front of a stone table. Because it was close to mountains and water, although the temperature was not as low as in Qiyuyuan, it was more suitable and comfortable.
"Have a rest for a while, I will take you to Zuixian Tower, where I will host a banquet for your brothers Xian Jian'an and Wan Qing." Xuan Yi also sat down at the stone table and said half-jokingly, "Don't worry, this time
Guan Yucheng is not here, but your brother is very worried about you. Judging from his expression, he seems to think that if you marry me, you are marrying a tiger and a wolf. If you appear in front of him, he will feel more at ease, lest he have any inappropriate thoughts to block it.
"
Xian Ziqian blinked her eyes in surprise and said softly: "Zui Xian Lou, my eldest brother and Aunt Wan?"
A servant brought tea and refreshments, and then left quietly, as if he had never appeared.
"Yes, your brother is a very smart man. This is probably related to the fact that he has been doing business outside." Xuan Yi poured a cup of tea for Xian Zijia and said in a calm tone, "Some parts of him are very similar to your sister Xian Zijia, and there are some concealments.
I don't like hypocrisy very much. He always refuses to tell his purpose directly, but plays useless tricks. However, there are still some aspects of his character like yours, such as being gentle and reserved. Seeing as he is your big brother
For his sake, I won’t argue with him.”
Xian Zijian glared at Xuan Yi and blurted out: "Mr.
He still has to help others count money. If he were as idiotic as Zi Yu, Xian's shop would really have no future. Being gentle to you? I guess it's because you are Mr. Xuan and he is afraid that you will be angry with him.
I will put this dissatisfaction on Zi Daan."
Xuan Yi looked at Xian Ziqian. She was also very cute when she was angry. Her eyes were big and bright, and her lips were slightly pursed, like a child who had lost a toy. Her expression made him ignore the dissatisfaction in her words.
Smiling slightly, he said: "Tell me, if your brother hears you speak, Mr. Xuan, or shut up, what will he think? Will he curse in his heart? Sure enough, this Xuan Yi is not a good person?"
Xian Ziqian didn't react for a moment, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked at Xuan Yi blankly.
