Xuan Yi said slowly with a tone and expression that made Xian Ziqian desperately want to slap him: "Okay, this way we can talk more. I like to hear others praise Sister Ruoshui. Come on, sit down."
Xuan Yi thought that Xian Ziqian should at least express her anger. If it were him, if someone behaved like this in front of him, he would definitely punish him. However, to his surprise, Xian Ziqian turned out to be extremely serious.
He nodded, sat down opposite him, and said in the darkness with an extremely gentle and respectful attitude: "Okay, I like to praise others, especially beautiful women!"
Even in the dark, Xuan Yi almost couldn't control his expression. He thought he was good enough, but he didn't expect that there was an even better Xian Ziqian waiting for him here.
“You don’t mind if I light a candle and make a pot of good tea.”
dry."
Seeing that Xian Ziqian didn't fully get the answer from him whether he agreed or not, he had already lit the candle on the table. The sound of wind and rain outside fell into his ears, the window was half open, the wind blew in, and the candle flame kept burning.
Jumping up and down, Xian Ziqian's expression became real and illusory in the jumping candlelight, but the ridicule in her eyes could not be determined. Anyway, Xuan Yi thought, Xian Ziqian was definitely not as magnanimous as she appeared.
Xian Ziqian stood up to make tea. Her light blue dress swayed slightly with her movements, making her back look very beautiful, slender and graceful. But suddenly, her figure stopped at the door.
Xuan Yi was a little surprised. He looked towards the door. There was someone standing at the door. The light was dim and his face could not be seen clearly. He was quietly looking at Xian Zijian, who had his back to Xuan Yi and was facing him. His eyes were those of an elder, looking and inquiring.
, although it is sharp, it is not annoying.
"Father, why are you here?" Xuan Yi was a little surprised. He stood up and walked to the door. His father had told him that he wanted to meet Xian Zijian in private, but he didn't expect that he would appear in Xiaoyaoju so soon. "It's because he was worried about sister Ruoshui.
Is that so? Nothing will happen to her while she is here. The child has already asked Jin guards to deliver a letter to Prince Xuan's Mansion, thinking that his father already knows about this."
Prince Xuan shook his head and said calmly: "My father is not worried about Ruoshui. Although that girl has had little experience in the world, her martial arts skills will take some effort even for you and me. My father wants to meet this Miss Xian, or rather...
The Empress Dowager has granted you a marriage to the princess of your choice." She said, still looking at Xian Zijian with indifferent eyes. Although she heard from Xuan Yi that the girl Xian Zijian in front of her was also a descendant of the Sima family, she was a bit unfamiliar after all.
"I have met Prince Xuan."
"Get up." Prince Xuan raised his hand, walked into the room, and sat down at the table, "I heard you said you wanted to make a pot of tea. Go ahead. It's just that it's late at night, so the tea needs to be lighter."
"Yes." Xian Ziqian didn't say much. She just agreed and walked out of the room.
Seeing Xian Ziqian leaving, Prince Xuan didn't even ask her where she would go to get tea or where she would boil water to make tea. He turned to look at Xuan Yi and said, "She looks quite upright and pretty, and she's a bit like Ruoshui."
Similar, so to speak, they are indeed descendants of the Sima family, but unfortunately compared to Ruoshui, they are a little more unfamiliar. Sima Yi's family has always been indifferent to the world, and no one even knows whether they are alive or dead."
Xuan Yi nodded, "I know that Sima Yi's group is good at using medicine and has been secretly controlling the Bai Du Sect. One of their descendants always stays in the most mysterious place of the Bai Du Sect. However, in Xian Ziqian's generation,
She has lost her previous arrogance and talent. She has dealt with both the Xian sisters, and she can only be considered beautiful in appearance, but the rest is just mediocre."
Prince Xuan nodded, "Your mother has a good impression of Xian Zijian and asked me not to be too harsh. She is just a sixteen-year-old girl. To put it nicely, she is married to you. To put it badly, she is married to you.
It's just unlucky that I was selected as a chess piece by you and the Queen Mother at the same time. Also, for yesterday's fish soup, my father asked someone familiar to check out the mystery of the soup. Ordinary fish soup is so delicious, even the cook at home can't help it.
I don't have this ability. The man told me that some seasoning herbs were put into the fish soup. The amount and type used were very appropriate and clever. It had more strong flavor and less fishy smell. It was just right. My father was suspicious.
If she is really a descendant of Sima Yi, she must know how to use medicine."
Xuan Yi was startled, "Father is worried that Zijian will use medicine on sister Ruoshui?"
Prince Xuan frowned slightly, "Your plan is good, but if you are not careful, you may miss it a thousand miles. When my father looked at Xian Zijian just now, he found that this girl was gentle and obedient on the surface, but in fact she was very stubborn and persistent in her bones. My father was worried
She has her bottom line, and if it exceeds her bottom line, she is likely to deal with Ruoshui. Although Ruoshui is outstanding in martial arts, he is mediocre in using medicine. This is why we dare not be careless at all times. If the people of Wumeng Kingdom
Knowing that she is a descendant of the Sima family, he will definitely use some dirty tricks to deal with her."
Xuan Yi was a little lost in thought, his brows furrowed slightly as he considered.
Hearing footsteps outside, light and lively. Xuan Yi was startled and blurted out: "This girl is not asleep yet? I'm neglectful. Liuli is a slave. Naturally, she can't ask Ruoshui to follow her arrangements. I'm afraid she knows you are coming.
Already."
Just as he was talking, Ruoshui walked in from outside with a bright smile on his face. When he saw Prince Xuan sitting at the table, he immediately said: "I just heard the neighing of a horse outside. It didn't sound like this. Come on.
It seemed to be from Prince Xuan's Palace, so he asked Liuli to go out and take a look. Liuli said that a carriage from Prince Xuan's Palace was coming. Ruoshui was curious and ran out to take a look. It turned out to be your carriage. Alas, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
Prince Xuan smiled slightly and said half-truthfully, "Yes. The people in the house shocked you."
Ruoshui smiled sheepishly, "Ruoshui was just a little bored for a moment and wanted to run out and see the surrounding scenery. This is Ruoshui's first time in Prince Xuan's Mansion."
Xuan Yi's eyes fell on the door. Xian Zijian was holding a tea tray with a teapot and teacups on it, and walked in quietly. Then, her eyes fell on Ruoshui's back. She hesitated for a moment, as if she was considering coming in.
He still wanted to leave, but at the same time, the sound of her footsteps made Ruoshui turn his head.
