"It's okay," Sima Rong explained gently. "She just explained it to your mother. Maybe there were many of us at the time, so we accidentally ignored her and left her alone in the Yinxiang Building. Fortunately, she was just
We went to the palace to play, nothing happened, and she agreed not to be so willful in the future. You don’t have to feel guilty and worried anymore. You are not in good health, so you can’t worry so much anymore.”
Cong Xiai looked at Cong Yi'er tenderly and said softly: "Yier, it's okay if you're okay. If this is the case, then my sister is really too careless. My sister just came back and was not in good spirits, so she ignored her at that time.
You're fine. Now that I'm back home and can see you every day, my sister is relieved."
Cong Yi'er smiled and said: "Okay, I'm fine. You don't have to worry anymore. Yi'er will remember not to do such things in the future. You have to take good care of yourself. In a few days, it will be your great day."
Oh, if the second prince sees you like this, he will blame me for making you angry."
Cong Xiai smiled softly and said softly: "Speaking of this, sister, I want to congratulate you first. Mother specifically asked the emperor for permission to allow us two sisters to get married at the same time. In the future, we two sisters will see each other all the time.
I don’t know how happy I am to be able to be with my sister every day. Are you happy?"
Cong Yi'er was slightly startled and said calmly: "Thank you mother and sister for your kindness, but Yi'er hasn't thought about it yet. Besides, this is my sister's destiny. My sister doesn't want to get involved in it. My sister wants to get married."
Yes, I think we have to wait and see."
"Yi'er -" Cong Xiai looked at Cong Yi'er with a puzzled expression, glanced at Sima Rong secretly, and said, "Is the rumor in the palace true that you have fallen in love with Prince Xuan? Yi'er, not my sister.
If you want to be angry, say something to you, Prince Xuan is not someone you can provoke."
Cong Yi'er smiled faintly and said: "Is there such a rumor in the palace? Yi'er is a little suspicious. Someone dares to talk about Prince Xuan like this. I'm afraid he heard it wrong. Yi'er only knows him and doesn't like him, but we can't talk to him. Sister
Don’t worry about Yi’er.”
Sima Rong said aside: "Xi Ai, Yi'er is definitely not what the rumors say. The emperor only allowed her to stay in Prince Xuan's Mansion for a few days. Princess Qiaorui is also there. If Yi'er is here, she can avoid some suspicion. -
-As for whether Yi'er will marry me or not, I have already told my father about this matter, and my father has also agreed that I will not force her to marry again if she wants."
Cong Xiai was stunned for a moment, lowered her head, and said nothing for a while, and then said softly: "Second Prince, you are so considerate of Yi'er, Xiai is really happy, and she also knows that Xiai did not choose the wrong person, but the palace is not
This is a simple thing, but Xiai is still worried about Yier. With her personality, she is afraid that she will suffer a loss. Prince Xuan is a charming person, so Xiai is worried that Yier will be tempted."
Sima Rong looked at Cong Yi'er. Cong Yi'er had a slight smile on her face and said nothing. It seemed that what they were talking about had nothing to do with her and she was just a listener. "It should be fine. Now Yi'er is back. With you and
Your parents are taking care of her, so she won't do anything stupid. I think the emperor's uncle liked that Princess Rui. She was a very beautiful woman, and her appearance was somewhat similar to that of the late empress, but she -
—Forget it, maybe it’s just a guess.”
Cong Xiai's face changed slightly, as if she was a little uncomfortable, and she said weakly: "If that's the case, that's the best. Princess Rui, I heard from people in Wumeng Kingdom that she is a beautiful princess, but her personality is a bit willful. I hope
It can make Prince Xuan’s life happy.”
"I met her once in Prince Xuan's Mansion. She is really a beautiful woman with a very gentle personality. She is a princess after all. Although Wumeng Kingdom is a small country, it is inevitable that she will be a bit domineering. I just expected that she would never dare to be in front of the emperor's uncle.
It's like that." Sima Rong said gently, hesitating for a moment and did not say anything about Cong Yi'er being attacked by the Wumeng people.
Cong Xiai's expression was a little dazed, her head slightly lowered, and she said nothing.
"Xiai, are you a little tired?" Sima Rong asked with concern, "If you are tired and uncomfortable, just rest. Yi'er and I will sit outside for a while so as not to disturb your rest."
"Yi'er, can you go out for a while? My sister has something to say to the second prince." Cong Xiai said softly.
"Okay, I'll go out and wait for you. You haven't seen each other for a long time. You should have a lot to say. As for me, I'm afraid I have to answer a lot of questions from my parents." Cong Yier looked at Sima Rong with a smile and said with a smile.
, "You have to communicate well with your sister. You see, when you are together now, you talk so politely. You don't look like a couple, but like a pair of business-like superiors and subordinates."
Sima Rong was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and said: "Yier, how did you learn so many strange languages? Xiai just followed the rules of the Daxing Dynasty. A willful person like you is alone in the Daxing Dynasty."
One serving.”
"Really?" Cong Yi'er smiled softly and said, "Turns out I was too worried. So, you two can chat slowly."
Seeing Cong Yi'er's figure disappear at the door, Cong Xiai glanced at the girl beside her, and the servant immediately turned and left, quietly following behind Cong Yi'er who had just left not long ago.
"With Xiaoyue following me, I can rest assured. She has been gone for such a long time, and my father and mother will inevitably be a little angry. With Xiaoyue following me, if anything happens, I can be notified as quickly as possible." Cong Xiai was gentle.
explanation, then looked at Sima Rong and said softly, "Second Prince, Xiai has something to ask you."
Sima Rong sat down by the bed, gently put his arm around Cong Xiai's thin shoulders, and said pityingly: "I am in such a hurry to come back from Wumeng Country. If you need my help with anything, just ask me and I will do my best."
help you."
Cong Xiai said softly: "Second Prince, Xiai hopes that you can successfully ascend to the throne of the Daxing Dynasty. This is what you deserve, and it is also Xiai's life. Xiai wants to treat you, no matter what, you must
To prevent Yi'er from being with Prince Xuan, Yi'er is just a naive girl. She doesn't know how powerful Prince Xuan is. Prince Xuan is a charming man. If Yi'er falls in love with him, it will be tantamount to ruin.
After knowing Yi'er's life, you also know that Prince Xuan has always disliked people from Prince Cong's Palace, so how could he really like Yi'er, who has always been a little willful and arrogant? Xiai is worried that Prince Xuan is doing this in order to take revenge on Prince Cong's Palace.
As someone who is close to Yi'er, Second Prince, you must help Yi'er."
Sima Rong looked at Cong Xiai and said softly: "I know that Yi'er is also my future princess. Of course I will protect her and won't let her get any harm. Uncle Huang, he likes Princess Rui.
He won't like Yi'er, but your worry is not unreasonable, I will keep a good eye on Yi'er."
"Yi'er is a living person. You can't keep an eye on her all the time. Unless you marry her and keep her by your side, you can keep a close eye on her to avoid trouble." Cong Xiai said softly.
Said, "So, Xiai wants to ask you a favor. Between the two of us sisters, it doesn't matter who you marry first. It doesn't have to be that you marry Xiai first. Moreover, Xiai is not in good health now. I'm afraid it won't last for a while."
It won’t get better, so Xi Ai would like to ask you to marry Yi’er first, and then marry Xi Ai. Can you agree to Xi Ai’s request?”
Sima Rong looked at Cong Xiai with pity and said softly: "Xiai, I really hope Yi'er understands your painstaking efforts, but I promised Yi'er that I will never force her to marry me, so I
You can't force her to marry me right now. She won't do anything she doesn't want to do, whether soft or hard. Although the emperor's uncle said this, it sounds a bit harsh, but the emperor's uncle really didn't do it.
I'm wrong, I'm not proud of it, I'm afraid if I push her too hard, she will be even more difficult to deal with."
Cong Xiai said softly: "Yi'er has always liked you since she was a child and has always wanted to marry you. As long as you are willing, she will definitely agree to marry you first. There is no need for Xiai to teach you. Let's continue.
, I’m afraid Xi Ai will be jealous. Just try not to let her meet Prince Xuan. As long as there is no chance to meet, as time goes by, she will give up."
Sima Rong nodded and said, "I will do it. Don't worry about these things anymore. You should have a good rest."
Cong Yi'er wandered slowly in Cong Mansion, not looking at Cong Xiai's slave who had been following quietly behind her. She saw Xiao Qing sitting alone on a stone bench in a daze from a distance, so she walked over.
He smiled and said hello: "Xiaoqing, what are you doing sitting here alone in a daze? You have the nerve to leave me alone, and let Sister Xiai's girl follow me to serve me."
Xiaoqing was startled and stood up immediately, looking at Cong Yi'er and Xiaoyue who was following Cong Yi'er from a distance. It was strange that Xiaoyue ducked and hid behind a pillar, as if she didn't want them to take the initiative.
The two servants discovered that she hadn't heard Cong Yi'er's voice? She had already said this, so why did Xiaoyue still follow?
"Miss." Xiaoqing didn't know what to say, so she could only call softly.
"That Xiaoyue has been following me. It seems that Sister Xiai can't worry about me. Xiaoqing, do you think there is such a generous sister in the world?" Cong Yier sat down on the stone bench and said with a smile, "
I guess she must be persuading Sima Rong to marry me immediately. Logically speaking, she should be the right candidate for the princess. Although me marrying Sima Rong will not affect her marriage, but I marry first, so I should
It’s not what she particularly wants. At least I don’t think my current mother wants such an outcome.”
Xiao Qing lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Don't you like the second prince any more, miss? You have always liked the second prince very much since you were a child. You should be very happy when the eldest lady does this. Why is it the other way around?"
Don’t you want to accept it?”
"Me?" Cong Yi'er said with a smile, "I have never liked him. I'm not ready to like anyone yet."
Xiao Qing looked at Cong Yi'er in astonishment and said softly: "Miss, you have confused Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing has been with you all the time. How could he not know who you like? You used to like the second prince so much.
, Could it be that——Xiao Qing really doesn’t understand.”
