Li Xian is on an expedition to the Marquis Mansion.
He came specially to pay homage to Zhengyuanhou's family.
Yu Zhongyang was called over and walked with him all the way, and finally stopped in front of Yu Lanxuan's yard. This place was Yu Lanxuan's official residence during his lifetime, not a place of burning.
Ever since the old lady moved in, someone has been cleaning up the place. Although it doesn't look popular, the weeds in the yard and the dust on the ground have been cleared away, but it's quiet without any human noise.
"Master Yu, can I take a walk?" Li Xian smiled and asked Yu Zhongyang, who had been accompanying him all the way.
"Your Majesty, please excuse me. I happen to have something to do and want to see my mother and ask her how she is doing. Now that she is no longer living in the same place, it is very inconvenient."
Yu Zhongyang said hurriedly.
"Master Yu is in charge. I was no stranger to Zhengyuanhou Mansion when I was here. Zhengyuanhou and I have half a friendship." Li Xian sighed.
"Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely true." Yu Zhongyang said flatteringly. Seeing him looking up at Yu Lanxuan's courtyard door speechlessly, he stopped disturbing her and turned around to leave with the others.
Only Li Xian and the boy beside him were left in front of the courtyard gate.
Walking into the half-open courtyard door, he stood in front of the door, but did not step in. He raised his eyes and looked towards the main room. Li Xian was silent with his hands behind his back, as if his feet were nailed.
Time passed slowly, so long that it felt like time here was almost frozen. The legs of the servant were sore from standing, but the prince still raised his head and looked at the main room. There was nothing there, but the door of the main room was still locked.
Why did you look at it for so long, as if you could see some flowers on it?
The boy's feet moved slightly, breaking the peace in the courtyard.
"Take out the food and wine from the food basket and place them in front of the steps of the main room." Li Xian said calmly.
The boy obeyed the order and came forward with the food basket. He took out a wide red cloth from the steps facing the door of the house, and then placed two meat, two vegetarian and four dishes, as well as a pot of wine and two
A small wine cup, finally an incense burner, and a pair of white candles.
Candles and incense were lit and arranged neatly.
"You go outside." Li Xian looked at the sacrifices placed in front of him and said without looking back.
The boy retreated in response. When he walked to the door, he subconsciously looked back, and then his eyes widened suddenly. He could hardly believe his own eyes. The eldest son of his family, who had always been so noble, was actually sitting on the ground like this. Oh,
It's not right to sit on the white cloth, but even if he is sitting cross-legged on the white cloth, it is not a rude behavior that he would do on a daily basis.
The white cloth was clearly spread on the ground.
No matter how clean you sweep the floor, it won't be that clean.
As if he had seen through some truth, the young man did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly walked a few steps and disappeared behind the courtyard door...
Inside the courtyard gate, Li Xian sat cross-legged on the white cloth, reached for the wine pot, poured two glasses of wine, then spilled one glass on the ground, then poured another glass, then picked up the wine in front of him, drank it all and put it down.
, picked up the wine bottle and poured another glass.
"Today I am here to sacrifice my junior sister. In fact, there is really no need to go to this step. Junior sister has always been smart, how could she... have come to this step?"
He let out a long sigh, spilled another glass of wine, and drank another glass himself.
Then the third cup...
After spilling the third cup and drinking the third cup, Li Xian stretched out his hand to touch his eyebrows. His forehead was slightly hot, and the smile on his face was indescribably weird.
"I have always thought that Junior Sister is smart, and I have always thought that Junior Sister is someone who can recognize people. How could she be confused by Chu Zihan? A small letter from Kangbo Mansion, what does it really mean? If Junior Sister is serious about trusting Kangbo Mansion for a marriage, it is really a big deal.
It's nothing." Li Xian asked with a low smile, his eyes falling on the door of the main room.
There was a wind blowing, the white cloth was raised, the candlelight was turbulent, and it suddenly seemed unbearable.
"Junior Sister, Junior Sister, you always don't believe me!" Li Xian's eyes were attracted by the candle. Looking at the candle that was extinguishing as if it was unbearable, his smile faded, "Once Junior Sister is gone, there will be no one left in this world.
You can understand me, it’s extremely difficult to have a close friend in life, let alone a junior sister.”
He reached into his sleeves, took out two beautiful camellias, and placed them on the white cloth in front of him.
The flowers are rich in color, one is light blue and the other is light green. They look different in color but similar in shape.
"Junior sister, these are two of the eighteen bachelors. Junior sister, I have never seen these two colors before, right? I have cultivated them a lot, and now I have sent them here for junior sister to appreciate." Li Xian chuckled,
His eyes fell on the two flowers, which were almost gentle.
Then he continued to talk to himself: "This is the first time that I have come to pay my respects to my junior sister since her accident. I hope that my junior sister will not mind you. After all, those who directly harmed you... have all received their retribution now, and have almost all been punished.
Junior sister can also smile about this matter."
After Li Xian finished speaking, he paused again and listened for a while, as if Yu Lanxuan's response could really be blown out of the wind.
The wine poured down again, and then he drank it all in one gulp.
Li Xian's smile is as gentle as ever. In this scene, it is still so gentle, and it really deserves his good reputation in Beijing.
"Junior sister, don't worry!" He said it very softly, holding a sleeve in one hand and a pot in the other. Even though he was sitting cross-legged, he still showed some indescribable elegance.
It was quiet again in front of the house. The only sound was the wind blowing by the courtyard wall, blowing off the fallen leaves on the tall sycamore trees and blowing away the desolation all over the place.
The boy suddenly appeared in front of the door, trotted in, stood one meter away, cupped his hands and reported: "Your Majesty, Miss Yu is here."
"Let her go." Li Xian said nonchalantly, without looking back.
The boy panicked and his face suddenly turned pale. The third girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion was also the future Crown Princess of Qi, so there was no way she could let anyone leave at will.
Afraid that his master might not hear clearly, the servant hurriedly raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty, the three girls from the Xuanping Hou Mansion also want to come in to pay homage to Lord Lanxuan."
"From the Xuanping Marquis Mansion?" Li Xian frowned, stretched out his hand to press his brow, repeated, raised his eyes and looked at the boy, but there seemed to be no focus.
Only then did the young man realize that something was wrong with his prince's expression. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and took a peek at his face. Then he looked at the overturned wine cup on the ground. His expression became strange. The prince must have drunk too much. He used the wine today.
The wine is a tribute wine rewarded by the palace. Normally, my own prince would be reluctant to drink it. Could it be that he gets drunk very easily?
"The Crown Prince is the third girl from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, who will soon become the Crown Princess of Qi." The boy's voice was raised a bit, for fear that Li Xian wouldn't hear.
Li Xian covered his ears in displeasure, and the figure of the servant finally appeared in his eyes: "If she wants to come, she can come. This is not my place, this is the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion."
As Li Xian spoke, he staggered to get up. The boy hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and then helped him stand up safely.
"Your Majesty, are we leaving?" the servant asked, supporting him.
"Let's go! Everyone has left." Li Xian looked around, as if he was still clear, but he walked towards the front of the main house, and the boy hurriedly stopped him.
"Your Majesty, let's go." He forced him to turn around.
"Let's go, we have to go, it's time to go." Li Xian smiled and turned around with the young man. He didn't let the young man support him anymore. He gently pushed the young man's hand away and walked out slowly, looking friendly.
He was the same as before, except that the soles of his feet seemed a bit sluggish. Only those who knew him well would know that he had really drunk too much now.
But it's not to the point where I don't know it at all and I'm drunk.
Yu Xijiao and Mingyue stood outside the door, watching Prince Yangshan Hou come out, paused, bowed slightly, and then got out of the way.
Mingyue looked at Li Xian with confusion, then at her master, and could only step back and make way.
The servants from the Yangshan Marquis Mansion bowed repeatedly in the back to thank them for giving up the road.
With a smile on Li Xian's handsome face, he looked at the two of them with clear eyes. He smelled heavily of alcohol and seemed not to notice the person in front of him.
Mingyue watched in surprise as Prince Yangshan walked away from them, with a puzzled look on his face. Was he drunk or not?
Why do you look like you are not drunk, and behave like you are drunk?
Yu Xijiao watched Li Xian's leaving figure silently, and then turned back to the courtyard. They came here today to see the old lady, and by the way to meet Mrs. Yu who gave her jewelry. They didn't expect that
Here I met Prince Yangshanhou,
When you step into the yard, you will see the white cloth in front of the main house. One of the two wine glasses flew to the door of the house, and the other fell on the white cloth. The aroma of wine was lingering.
Mingyue took two steps forward, picked up the wine jug, looked at it, and poured it out. There were only a few drops of wine. Such a jug of wine was all gone. No wonder the Prince of Yangshan Hou didn't look very sane.
Clear look.
"Girl, is Yangshan Hou Crown Prince related to the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion?" Seeing this situation, he really paid homage. After looking around, Mingyue asked curiously.
"No relatives, but for the Marquis of Zhengyuan, he also taught the Crown Prince of Yangshan Marquis at that time." Yu Xijiao stepped forward and replied disapprovingly.
"How come I haven't heard of it before? If it's a master-disciple relationship, it should be very close." Mingyue was surprised. The master-disciple relationship is sometimes as close as a father and son. Compared with the father-son relationship, so many things happened to Marquis Zhengyuan, Yang
Is this the first time that Prince Shanhou has come here?
"There is no name of master and apprentice, and this relationship was almost broken after the death of Marquis Zhengyuan. There is no deliberate contact between the two parties. At most, it is some necessary courtesy. After the death of Mrs. Marquis Zhengyuan and Lord Lanxuan,
The Marquis of Yangshan Mansion should also have sent people to pay homage, as the Crown Prince Yangshan Marquis must be Chu Zihan's cousin."
Yu Xijiao raised her lips with a sarcastic smile. The so-called friendship was consciously neglected after her father passed away. Her grandfather said that some people would only add icing on the cake instead of providing help when needed, so that her mother would not have to worry about it anymore.
Maintaining reluctant contact with the Yangshan Marquis Mansion.
When it is broken, it is broken, no need to worry about it.
"Girl, please put these things away first. This Yangshan Hou Crown Prince is also serious. Since the two families have no contact with each other anymore, why come here to worship at this time, and also to worship Lanxuan County Lord alone?" Mingyue Yiyi
After listening to Yu Xijiao's words, I immediately lost my favorable impression of the Yangshan Hou Crown Prince and said angrily.
