Princess Hanyu and her consort Guan Yucheng will leave Beijing for the border at the end of the month. The Guan Mansion specially held a banquet to see them off. Naturally, Xuan Yi and Xian Ziqian from Xiaoyaoju were among the invitees.
Liuli walked into the study with two letters in her hand. It was raining outside. Xian Ziyan was alone in the study reading, nestled in a big chair, with a thin orchid-patterned quilt casually draped over her legs.
The black hair is scattered randomly on the shoulders, and the body seems to be plumper than a few days ago, and the skin looks delicate and attractive.
"Young Madam." Liuli walked in, her voice slightly hoarse. The time for her to get married was getting closer and closer. Although Xian Ziqian had arranged for someone to take care of her marriage, there were still some things that she had to do personally. It was inevitable that she would get a little anxious and angry.
I chose another place at home
The courtyard was given to Xian Jian'an to live in after his marriage, so that the young couple could live a quiet and undisturbed life, so that the affairs of the two wives and concubines of the Xian family would not affect the couple. "Prince Xuan's Mansion has a letter for you.
There is news about the young master and an invitation from Guanfu."
Xian Ziyi put down the book in her hand and looked at the letter Liuli handed over. One of the letters was a beautiful invitation in an envelope, with Xian Ziai's handwriting on it. The writing was quite beautiful. After all, it was carefully cultivated by her mother. Xian Ziai was definitely not an embroidered pillow.
Like a vase.
The other letter is from Prince Xuan's palace, with Xuan Yi's handwriting on it.
There was no news from Xuan Yi who was supposed to return. She didn't know what happened. Liuli knew that Xian Zijian was a little worried, but she was too embarrassed to ask Xuan Wang's Mansion, so she took the opportunity to go to Xuan Prince's Mansion while she was out on business.
, privately asked Princess Xuan about Xuan Yi. It happened that Princess Xuan had just received the letters sent back by Prince Xuan and Xuan Yi and his son. Among them was a letter written by Xuan Yi to Xian Ziqian, and gave it to Liuli for her to deliver.
Come back.
"Liu Li went to Prince Xuan's Mansion today in order to tell Princess Xuan about Liuli's marriage at the end of this month. Princess Xuan happened to meet Princess Xuan and just received a letter from Prince Xuan and Young Master Xuan today, so she found out that Prince Xuan was seriously ill.
He was bedridden in the capital of the Daxing Dynasty. He was afraid that Princess Xuan would be worried, so he kept hiding the secret from Princess Xuan.
Princess, your health has just improved now, and you are already on your way back. I was thinking that Princess Xuan would be worried, and Mr. Xuan was also afraid that you would be worried, so he sent a letter back first." Liuli breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Fortunately, Xuan Yi had a letter sent.
, Otherwise, I really don’t know how to comfort Xian Ziqian’s hidden worries and uneasiness.
Xian Zijian looked at the letter in his hand and Xuan Yi's familiar handwriting on it: Personally Zijian. Some inexplicable grievances rose in his heart, his eyes were a little sour, and he didn't have the courage to open it and read it.
"Liu Li went to prepare some delicious food for the young lady. On the way back, she saw some fresh fruits, so Liuli bought some. Then she went to wash them and give them to the young lady to taste." Liuli looked at Xian Zijian's slightly furrowed eyebrows.
, guessing that she might want to be alone to read the letter from Xuan Yi, she found an excuse to leave.
Listening to the footsteps of Liuli leaving, Xian Ziqian, who had been holding the letter sent by Xuan Yi, quietly nestled in the large chair, suddenly fell into a daze.
In fact, Xuan Yi's letter was written very simply and in a hurry, and even the handwriting was a bit sloppy. He only said that he had been delayed for a long time in the capital of the Daxing Dynasty, and asked Zi Yu's forgiveness because his father's illness came suddenly and he has been unconscious.
, always staying in front of the bed
, in such a hurry, he didn’t even bother to notify Prince Xuan’s Mansion and Xiaoyaoju, he just hoped that his father’s illness would get better soon so that he could come back soon. At the end of the day, he just said in an understatement that he didn’t need to worry about Zi Yuan, he was fine, he was just tired.
After a while, I will rush back to Wumeng country as soon as possible.
He breathed a sigh of relief. At first, when Xuan Yi left, he knew that he would come back soon, so he was not particularly worried. But then there was no news, and the parrot that accompanied him to the Daxing Dynasty also did not come back, so he felt vaguely worried.
Logically speaking, dealing with the emperor of the Daxing Dynasty is not a big deal. With Xuan Yi's ability, it can only be said that it is overkill.
As time went by, day by day, the waiting became more and more anxious. There was still no news from Prince Xuan's palace, and he didn't know what Xuan Yi was busy with. Xian Ziqian began to have some uncertain thoughts, and was afraid that Liuli would see it.
She often used the excuse of being tired to go back to her room to rest early, not wanting anyone to disturb her, but her lack of enthusiasm for everything still made Liuli guess that she was uneasy.
In fact, it was only about ten days later than initially thought. The news finally came. Prince Xuan was ill. He was seriously ill, so Xuan Yi could only stay in the capital to accompany his sick father, hiding the news.
For his mother, Prince Xuan was just in good health, and the father and son left the Daxing Dynasty on their way back.
Liuli came in with a plate of fruit. Xian Ziyan was still nestled in the chair. When he heard the sound of her coming in, he raised his head and said in a calm tone: "Go and prepare some generous gifts. After all, I am also the elder of Princess Hanyu. She
When she got married, I avoided her on the grounds that I was cold. She left the capital and went to the border. When she got married, I found reasons to refuse to show up. Since my husband can't come back in time, I'll go alone."
Liuli heard that Xian Zijian's tone was much calmer and more relaxed than before she received Xuanyi's letter. Knowing that she felt better, she smiled slightly and said softly: "There are still three days. I estimate that by then, Mr. Xuan will
He should have come back by now, so there is no need to rush. The slave sent someone to prepare the gift first. The same goes for the Jin guard. The master is so busy that he doesn't know how to take the time to send a letter back, even if it is to report that he is safe.
Everyone in Xiaoyaoju is feeling uneasy, and we must talk about him properly when we come back."
Xian Ziqian's mood was indeed much more relaxed. She heard the teasing in Liuli's words and was not angry at all. She just smiled and said: "After all, she is a woman who is getting married. She is better at talking and doing things than before."
Liuli smiled and put down the fruits, "These fruits are really fresh. I took a bite and they tasted really good. You also like to eat some fresh fruits during this time. Come and try how well Liuli picked them."
Xian Ziqian picked up a piece of fruit and took a bite.
"However, it is really strange that after the second son of the Guan family and Princess Hanyu got married, they left the capital much later than what was originally said. It was originally said that they would go to the border immediately after getting married, but it took so long
"For a long time, even if you want to go back, it doesn't make sense." Liuli said softly, "And since the two of them got married, not only have outsiders not seen the couple, not even people from Guan Mansion have seen them. I heard your elder brother say
, even your sister has never seen the couple."
Xian Zijian ate the fruit in her hand and said slowly: "You will know why when you see them."
