Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 661 Look Away (2 More)
Yun Huai quickly led Zhao Xi and the others into the gate.

Yunxiu Villa covers a vast area, surrounded by mountains and rivers with long bridges lying across, famous exotic flowers blooming, and pavilions, terraces, buildings and corridors turning round and round, showing the beauty and graceful nature of the south of the Yangtze River.

The guest house arranged for Zhao Xi was to take a black-covered boat across a lotus pond. It was early spring, and the lotus pond had just bloomed with a little bit of fresh green, and the spring willows on the bank were caged in the mist, as if they had entered a painting.

After going ashore, I came to a courtyard called "Jingchunzhai".

"It's quiet here." Yun Huai said, "If there is no call from His Highness in the future, no one else will come to disturb your purity."

He looked at Song Yuanbao and Father-in-law Sanbao again, "There will be two women in charge of cleaning in the yard. If there is anything missing, just tell them, and my sister-in-law will arrange for someone to add it as soon as possible."

Song Yuanbao asked suspiciously: "Aren't you the head of the house? Why don't you go to the head's wife instead of your sister-in-law?"

Yun Huai paused and said, "I haven't married yet."

Song Yuanbao knew that he hadn't married yet, so he was just curious, "If I remember correctly, the Patriarch turned [-] this year, yet he still hasn't made an appointment yet?"

There was a slight ripple in Yun Huai's clear eyes, which was fleeting, "People in the rivers and lakes don't pay much attention to marriage."

……

After Yun Huai left with the prince and his party, the people in front of the gate also dispersed one after another. Xue Yinhuan stayed behind and took the opportunity to ask Yun Shisan, "Too... why is he here?"

Yun Shisan didn't know what to say, and scratched his head, "If you come to Weifu for a private visit, you will go back after staying in our villa for a while."

"But I look at it, it looks like I'm sick." Xue Yinhuan was very worried.

The Zhao Xi in her impression was born to be influenced by sages and sages, he knew the five rites and six arts, he was young and mature, and he was famous at a young age.

At that time, he was rigid and unbreakable.

But now, she only sees vulnerability from him.

It is the kind of fragility that will break when touched.

It was hard for Xue Yinhuan to imagine what he had experienced during the year he hadn't seen each other.

For such a rock-solid person to be reduced to such a point, it can be seen that the blow he received was not small.

Thinking about it, Xue Yinhuan felt a little stuck in his heart, feeling uncomfortable like being pricked by a needle.

After setting up Zhao Xi, Yun Huai did not leave in a hurry, and sat down to talk to a few people.

Not long after, a maidservant came in from outside, bowed respectfully to a few people, and asked Yun Huai, "The old Patriarch asked me to ask questions, does the Patriarch want to go over to sit at the table, or send someone to bring a table over?"

Yun Huai didn't speak, but looked at Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xidao: "Send it here!"

The servant girl backed out in response.

Yun Huai said: "There are many good wines in our wine cellar, if Young Master Song doesn't mind the trouble, you might as well follow me to pick them."

Song Yuanbao heard that Yun Huai had something to say to him alone, nodded with a smile, then stood up, followed Yun Huai out of the door.

The two got on the black-covered boat, and Song Yuanbao said, "Does Patriarch Yun have something to ask me?"

Yun Huai was rowing a boat, and when he heard the words, he turned back with a smile, "I'm afraid what happened to His Highness this time is unusual, he neither wants to talk about it, nor will I ask any more questions, but I just want to ask Young Master Song alone, if there is any need to avoid it What, I'll give you an order to prevent them from breaking His Highness's rules."

"You can do anything else." Song Yuanbao said, "Just a little, but don't arrange for a servant girl to serve him."

Yun Huai nodded, "If it's just this one, then it's easy to handle."

-

After getting the wine, Yun Huai stayed in Jingchun Zhai to accompany them to eat before returning to the main courtyard, and immediately asked his sister-in-law to explain a few words.

The old Patriarch and the others had just used the table, and everyone dispersed. Xue Yinhuan waited specially in the Vermilion Bird Hall in Yunhuai, and when he saw him come back, he got up and saluted, "Uncle."

Yun Huai asked, "Are you waiting for me?"

"Well, I want to ask about his... situation." Xue Yinhuan bit his lip and lowered his voice.

Yun Huai was silent for a while, and said: "On the New Year's Eve palace banquet, the candidates for the crown prince and the two side concubines have already been decided."

"I see..." Xue Yinhuan twisted his silk handkerchief, "How is his condition?"

"Huan'er!" Yun Huai looked at the worried niece in front of him, "He will marry someone else in the future."

Xue Yin raised his head with a smile, his eyes glistening, "Uncle, is he seriously ill?"

Yun Huai was full of helplessness, "With Shiliu here, it will get better."

Xue Yinhuan didn't ask any more questions.

Yun Huai reminded her, "You are not young anymore, the marriage arranged for you should be carefully considered, and if you like it, you should settle it earlier, so as not to cause any trouble."

"I see." After Xue Yinhuan finished speaking, he left the Vermilion Bird Hall, went to find Yun Shiliu, and learned from Yun Shiliu's mouth that the prince was suffering from depression.

"Depression?" Xue Yinhuan frowned slightly, "Do you know what is the cause of depression?"

Yun Shiliu shook his head, "I don't know."

Xue Yinhuan could only guess that perhaps the 16-year-old crown prince was overwhelmed by too many responsibilities on her shoulders. She thought about it and said, "It just so happens that today is the Lantern Festival. I will cook some Lantern Festival tonight. When you go to get a pulse By the way, help me carry it."

Yun Shiliu hesitated, "Will it be bad to do this?"

"Is there anything good about it?" Xue Yin smiled happily, "Just say it was made in the kitchen. If they like it, they will naturally keep it. If they don't like it, it's not a pity to throw it away."

Before nightfall, the girls from the Yun family made an appointment to take a seat outside to watch the lanterns and invite Xue Yinhuan, but Xue Yinhuan made excuses to push her away, saying that she had been unwell for the past two days.

After the cousins ​​left, Xue Yinhuan went to the kitchen and cooked two bowls of Jiuniang Yuanxiao, which she made herself before.

After cooking, put it in a small white glaze bowl and put it in a food box, and closed the kitchen door to find Yun Shiliu.

Yun Shiliu was about to go to Jingchunzhai, and he was carrying a waterproof glazed hydrangea lantern in his hand and hung it on the bow of the awning boat.

Xue Yinhuan handed him the food box and didn't say anything, but asked him to row the boat carefully at night.

Yun Shiliu took the food box and saw that Xue Yinhuan was about to leave, so he hurriedly asked, "Aren't you going to let him know that you made it?"

Xue Yinhuan shook his head, "It's just a bowl of Lantern Festival, it doesn't matter who makes it, if he is willing to eat it, then it will suit my heart."

"Okay then, I'm leaving."

Xue Yinhuan stood on the shore, waiting for Yun Shiliu's boat to reach the other side before turning and leaving.

When Yun Shiliu came to Jingchunzhai, Zhao Xi had just finished bathing, and was leaning on the throne of Tianchotu in the black lacquered gold-painted sea house. Candlesticks were lit in the room, and the dim yellow halo covered his haggardness in the daytime, making him handsome and beautiful. The facial features are dyed with a bit of elegance and charm.

Yun Shiliu was a little dumbfounded.

No wonder the girls from the Yun family were shocked when they saw Zhao Xi.

If this person is not ill, he will be indistinguishable from the Patriarch.

"I made some Lantern Festival over there in the kitchen. I brought it here by the way. Do you want to try it, Your Highness?"

As Yun Shiliu said, he opened the lid of the food box.

The aroma of Jiuniang Lantern Festival soon wafted away.

"It's really fragrant." Song Yuanbao came in from the outside following the sweet smell of the wine, and saw what Yun Liuliu brought out at a glance, and immediately smiled, "Your kitchen is so considerate."

"Today is the Lantern Festival, and there are them in every courtyard." While speaking, Yun Shiliu had already set up the bowls and chopsticks.

Song Yuanbao scooped one up with a spoon, took a sip of Chuireng, and then squinted his eyes in enjoyment, "What a unique wine, is it the secret recipe of your kitchen?"

Yun Shiliu gave an "uh" and nodded, "Yes."

"Your Highness, let's try it too!" Song Yuanbao said, "The taste of their Lantern Festival is really special."

Zhao Xi had no appetite at all, so he moved to the table and tasted one like Song Yuanbao.

Song Yuanbao asked: "How is it?"

Zhao Xi ate very little these days, and his mouth felt bitter, so the first time he ate something sweet, it was very stimulating to his palate, so he tasted another and nodded, "It's really unique." It was different from what he had eaten in the palace before are different.

After eating Lantern Festival and resting for a while, Yun Shiliu asked for Zhao Xi's pulse as a routine. Song Yuanbao sat beside him and casually asked, "I haven't seen Miss Xue during the day, is she married?"

Yun Shiliu withdrew his hand and replied, "Miss Xue hasn't taken off her filial piety yet, so she can't get married. She was there during the day, but you left in such a hurry that you didn't have time to talk."

Zhao Xi was silent for a moment, and asked, "Has she had a good year?"

Yun Shiliu thought about it: "With the Patriarch protecting her, no one dares to be mean to her. Miss Xue still has some status in Yun's family."

Zhao Xi didn't need to ask carefully to understand that the dissolution of the engagement last year must have had a certain impact on Xue Yinhuan.

"If you're not married, are you engaged?" Song Yuanbao asked again.

Yun Shiliu thought for a while, "I'm discussing marriage."

Song Yuanbao breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly glanced at Zhao Xi.

After Master Xue's death, Zhao Xi once said that he would protect Xue Yinhuan comprehensively, but it was a pity that the two of them could not get together later. Song Yuanbao thought that Zhao Xi would collapse like this after only one autumn. If he knew, he had promised to protect her. That person is living a good life now, he should be able to see it better, right?
