Under Xuan Yi's gaze, Xian Zijian simply prepared four side dishes, took the food tray back to the room, put it on the table, warmed the wine, looked at Xuan Yi, and said with half annoyance: "Okay, you
It’s ready to drink.”
Looking at Xian Zijin's slightly pursed lips and the expression of shame and annoyance on his face, thinking of Xian Zijin's helplessness and discomfort under his gaze just now, he couldn't help but smile. His slight drunkenness was actually just on the surface.
With his drinking capacity, drinking and chatting with his father in Prince Xuan's Mansion didn't make him feel anything. He just didn't have the courage to ask Xian Ziqian directly if she would really leave after giving birth to the child in her belly.
"Do you like Xiaoyaoju?" Xuan Yi filled the wine glass himself and asked slowly.
Xian Ziqian didn't understand what Xuan Yi meant. She looked at Xuan Yi, hesitated, and said softly: "Xiaoyaoju is nice. It's very quiet and you won't be disturbed by others. Staying here is like staying in a paradise."
"Then are you willing to stay in Xiaoyaoju for the rest of your life?" Xuan Yi looked at Xian Ziyuan quietly and slowly asked this question. He was worried about how Xian Ziyuan would answer his question? Should he lie to him and stay here forever or tell him?
Will she leave and this is just a temporary place for her to stay?
Xian Ziqian hesitated for a moment. Xuan Yi seemed slightly drunk, but his words were very strange, as if he wanted to know some answer. Could it be that Princess Xuan told him what she said? But, if it was him
After knowing what she had said, shouldn't she ask her directly? In fact, if asked directly, although there would inevitably be a dispute, she could directly say that she wanted to hide and did not have to deal with anyone, no matter how he
The reason was to leave her in Xiaoyaoju in the cold.
Xuan Yi smiled faintly and said indifferently: "You are not willing to tell the truth to me, are you?"
Xian Ziqian was almost certain that Xuan Yi must have known about the conversation between her and Princess Xuan. She pursed her lips. It was good to know. At least she didn't have to think of ways to make him ignore her. She didn't want to deal with the Queen Mother, let alone the Empress Dowager.
Let your children become the Queen Mother's chess pieces.
"What do you want to know?" Xian Ziqian asked after calming down, slowing down her breathing.
Xuan Yi didn't speak immediately, but just smiled bitterly. Was she really planning to have a showdown with him? She said that she actually didn't like him at all. She only had to marry him as a last resort, so she wouldn't be angry with him. She had to ask him to give her.
She has a title. In fact, although he has not given her a formal ceremony now, he knows that in this life, the wife he wants is only her and not anyone else.
"It's nothing, I just drank too much and became a bit talkative." Xuan Yi did not follow Xian Zijian's meaning, took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "I also like Xiaoyaoju, more than Prince Xuan's Mansion.
Prince Xuan’s Mansion is a place that values face, and one has to be careful. But here, I am just Xuan Yi, not the eldest son of Prince Xuan’s Mansion. I don’t have to think about so many issues, and I don’t have to use so many brains. If possible.
If so, I really hope that I can choose a quiet place, accept a disciple, teach him to be the best man in the world, let him have a favorite wife, and live the happiest life. Give me everything
I can only think of things that I can’t do and ask him to do them all.”
Xian Ziqian was a little hesitant, not knowing how to respond to Xuan Yi's words.
Xuan Yi smiled slightly again and took a sip of wine, "Just think that I drank too much, don't pay attention to my nonsense, just sit here and accompany me. This is good, really."
At first, she sat and listened to Xuan Yi's speech. Xian Ziqian was in good spirits, but slowly, she began to feel sleepy. She yawned and looked at Xuan Yi helplessly. He was not in a hurry.
She drank wine slowly and occasionally ate some food. She rested her chin on her hands and her eyes became more and more sour.
Xuan Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw Xian Ziyan's sleepy look.
Ever since Xian Ziqian became pregnant with the child, she has always been like this, always getting sleepy easily. His eyes fell on Xian Ziqian's still shapeless belly, and he suddenly felt reluctant to let go of this unformed baby.
He will be sent away immediately, become someone else's child, and then grow up with someone else's surname. Will he often dream about it?
Slowly, Xian Ziqian changed from holding her chin to lying on the table and taking a nap. The hairpin was not too tight, and some of her hair had fallen down and fell on her plain coat. Her breathing gradually became calmer, and Xuan Yi even hugged her.
When she went to bed, she didn't notice it at all.
Xuan Yi took off her shoes and socks for her, then took off her coat, covered her with a quilt, looked at her quietly for a while, then returned to the table and sat down, slowly drinking the cold wine,
The wind and rain are still outside the window.
When Xian Ziqian woke up in the morning, she was about to move, but found that her hand had been held by Xuan Yi's, and he was hugging her from behind. She frowned slightly, how did she get into bed last night? She glanced at the table.
There was nothing, the food, wine and bottles were all gone. They must have been cleaned up by the servants in the house.
"Are you awake?" Xuan Yi's voice sounded lazily from behind Xian Ziyan.
Xian Ziqian nodded subconsciously and blurted out: "You didn't go back to Prince Xuan's Mansion?"
"No." Xuan Yi said calmly, "That's Prince Xuan's Mansion, and Xiaoyaoju is my own courtyard. Besides, I'm already married, so I can't always live in my parents' house. I will inevitably be teased and told some jokes by my brothers.
It’s better to just stay here honestly. I’ve thought about it, and during your pregnancy in ten months, I’ll stay in Xiaoyaoju, how about that?”
Xian Ziqian was startled, and then asked softly with some hesitation: "Did your mother-in-law tell you -"
"How can she have time to pay attention to me?" Xuan Yi laughed and said, "My father doesn't spend much time in the palace. When the two of them met, there was no one else in their eyes. Do you want to sleep for a while or get up?
?”
Xian Ziqian was suspicious, but she couldn't force Xuan Yi to answer her question, so she had to follow Xuan Yi's wishes, "It's already dawn, and the sky outside seems to be a little clearer. I want to get up."
For three days in a row, Guan Yupeng did not stay in Xiaochun's room. He only uncovered Xiaochun's head that night when she married into the Guan Mansion, and then stayed in Xian Ziai's room. He only said to the slave sent to serve Xiaochun: "
Tell Aunt Chun that I have some things to discuss with Madam these days and I can't take care of her. She just remembers to greet Madam every day."
Xiaochun was inevitably aggrieved, but since she was already married, Xian Ziyi had told her early that the reason for her to marry was to keep an eye on Guan Yupeng when he went to the border, and not allow him to associate with other women, as long as she could keep an eye on him.
Guan Yupeng, Xian Zi'ai said, can guarantee that she will always be Guan Yupeng's concubine, because Xian Zi'ai said that she did not want Guan Yupeng to have another woman.
