A hint of surprise flashed across Xian Zi'ai's face, and then her expression sank slightly. She returned to her previous low-key and gentle tone, and accompanied by the servants around her, she followed the group into the front hall of the Guan Mansion.
Mrs. Guan was also there. Because of her status, she first bowed to Prince Yu and Princess Hanyu. They had not seen each other for a few days. Xian Zijian was a little surprised. Mrs. Guan seemed to be much older, her eyebrows were a little lowered, and the bags under her eyes were obviously slightly blue.
His complexion was withered and yellow, as if he was extremely tired. People really can't have worries.
"Zi Ai has met my mother-in-law." Xian Zi Ai knelt down respectfully to greet her, and then nodded gently to Guan Yupeng, who was sitting next to Mrs. Guan, "Hello, sir."
Mrs. Guan was a little impatient, but after glancing at Xian Zijian, she seemed to remember how she should handle the matter, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Get up. How are your parents?"
"They are very good, and my mother-in-law is worried about them." Xian Zi Ai didn't seem to mind Mrs. Guan's attitude at all. She was always so obedient and well-behaved in front of others. "When we came here, my parents told Zi Ai to take care of my mother-in-law's worries."
Mrs. Guan didn't say anything, she just waved her hand. The servants on the side helped Xian Ziai up and sat down on Guan Yupeng's side. She stood behind Xian Ziai and stood with her hands down.
"Mrs. Guan's complexion is not very good." Prince Yu said politely, "Grandma said that there are a lot of things going on in the house these days, and a young lady has been added to the family. It is such a happy event, but I'm afraid it will be a bit hard. Guan
Young Madam, you should take more care of me. Why do you live in your natal family with so many things in the house? This is not according to the rules. I am the second master. My Young Madam should take more responsibility for the affairs of the house.
"
Mrs. Guan was startled and blurted out: "I can take care of you, I don't need her to be around."
Princess Hanyu said softly: "This is also what grandma meant."
Prince Yu still had a smile on his face and said gently: "When I came here, my grandmother said that the marriage between sister Hanyu and the second son of the Guan family should be finalized. Although sister Hanyu is still young, the second son of the Guan family is older.
It’s time for Jiaoer Chenghuan to be at my knees, but there has never been a suitable concubine. In this case, I will marry the real wife directly and learn the rules of Prince Xuan’s Palace. I can also let Sister Hanyu and the second son of the Guan family share the same love and love for the rest of their lives."
Mrs. Guan hesitated for a moment and seemed to want to speak.
"Grandma said that this is a big deal. Sister Hanyu is my grandmother's beloved granddaughter. She has always been the most favored. Naturally, her future mother-in-law will take care of her. Her mother died when she was young, and her grandmother has always been by her side. She is really married.
No one is happy. I have to trouble Mrs. Guan to take care of this matter. Sister Hanyu’s dowry is not a problem. As long as the preparations are complete, she can get married immediately." Prince Yu said gently.
Mrs. Guan could only let out a sigh of relief. Now, Yu Cheng's marriage was more important.
"Okay." Mrs. Guan pondered for a moment, "Zi Ai, since Prince Yu said this, you have to take more care of me. There is nothing major in the house now. Only A Qing and her daughter need to be taken care of. A Qing
I am not in good health. Yu Peng told me that if anything happens to Ah Qing, the child will be raised by you. It just so happens that Prince Yu and Princess Hanyu are here today, so let's settle the matter like this. The child
She is weak and cannot sleep well at night. A Qing is not in good health and cannot take care of her. Although the wet nurse is protecting her, she is not attentive enough. You should not go back to your parents' house today and stay at home to take care of their mother and daughter. "
Xian Zi Ai only said softly: "Zi Ai remember this."
Prince Yu saw that Xian Ziyi was hesitant. One thing was that Aqing was her husband's concubine. She had lost her status as a real wife and had to take care of her husband's concubine. However, she did not refute. She listened to everything Mrs. Guan said.
Guan Yupeng didn't help, and felt a little pity in his heart. He always liked this kind of woman who looked weak and helpless.
"This is not appropriate. After all, the girl from the Xian family is the eldest daughter-in-law chosen by the father for the Guan Mansion. The girl named A Qing is just the concubine of the eldest son of the family. Since the child has been adopted by the girl from the Xian family, the concubine is
Let the family choose someone else to take care of it." Prince Yu said in a calm tone, "I heard that the young lady of the Guan family is very good at playing the piano. She also went to the palace to play the piano for her grandmother. I also heard about it.
Second, now that I have this opportunity, I would naturally like to ask the young lady of the Guan family to play the piano again."
Mrs. Guan couldn't refuse. Although there was an oppressive feeling of unhappiness in the Guan Mansion now, Emperor Yu still made things more festive here. "Of course, Prince Yu and Princess Hanyu are distinguished guests in the house, Zi Ai,
Just play the piano for Prince Yu and Princess Hanyu."
"Daughter-in-law, please remember." Xian Ziyi said softly, claiming that she had changed a bit, and felt that she would help Mrs. Guan from now on. She pretended not to see the slight resistance in Mrs. Guan's eyes.
Prince Yu said with a smile: "Grandma loves sister Hanyu the most, so she specially chose a house for sister Hanyu not far from the palace. From now on, the second son of the family and Hanyu will live there after they get married.
, if you have to trouble Mrs. Guan, please work harder and take care of her."
"It's natural." Mrs. Guan smiled politely, but she felt slightly annoyed in her heart.
During the whole process, Xian Ziqian just sat there quietly, not even paying attention to Xuan Yi's hand that was always intertwined with hers, including his fingers gently grazing her palm.
After listening to Wanqing's playing the piano, Xian Ziyi's music was just ordinary to Xian Zijian's ears. She didn't think it was that pleasant before, and it doesn't sound that good now, so she wasn't listening too attentively, but she accidentally saw Princess Hanyu rushing towards her.
Guan Yucheng waved his hand, as if to ask him to avoid talking next to everyone.
Surprise flashed across Guan Yucheng's face. In his mind, Princess Hanyu was a boring and monotonous woman. Although her appearance was beautiful and moving, she was somewhat decadent and dull. At this time, she quietly used gestures in this situation.
She signaled him to go aside and talk to him, hesitated, and quietly walked away from the person listening to the piano, and followed Princess Hanyu to another place slowly.
"Princess Hanyu, what's wrong with you?" Guan Yucheng originally thought that Princess Hanyu might have some inconvenience to say to everyone, so he deliberately avoided everyone, so he asked directly.
There was no shyness or tenderness on Princess Hanyu's face, but a hint of indifference. She looked at the people not far away from the two of them, a little absent-mindedly, and completely did not notice that Xian Ziqian was looking at the two of them quietly.
Regarding the shape of the mouth, I don’t know if Xian Zijian can read lips.
"Guan Yucheng, why did you marry me?" Princess Hanyu asked indifferently.
Guan Yucheng was startled. He had no idea that Princess Hanyu would directly ask such a question. He opened his mouth slightly and didn't spit out a single word. He couldn't think of a proper answer for a long time.
