Chapter 213: Don’t look for trouble, trouble will come to you
"Yes, I have something to do and I need to go see my wife. I'll take my leave now." Xiao Yan'an was anxious to see Ji Chuhe, so he walked around Liao Yunfei and quickly walked towards the inner courtyard.
"Hey! Prince..." Liao Yunfei wanted to say something, but Xiao Yan'an had already left quickly.
She stared in the direction of Xiao Yan'an and did not leave for a long time.
"Miss, it's windy here, let's go back first." The maid Liu'er reminded in a low voice.
Liao Yunfei then turned around with a trace of worry on her face.
"If I hadn't known you were still alive, it would have been too late for us to meet." She murmured to herself.
That day, at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, she took a distant glance and found that Xiao Yan'an's figure was imprinted in her mind like a brand, and could not be erased.
This may be what is meant by love at first sight in operas.
When Xiao Yan'an walked into the courtyard, Mianzhu told him the real reason for inviting him over.
"Sir, the lady asked you to come here because she wanted you to meet Aunt Xu. Aunt Xu is in a bad mood and has been unhappy all day."
Xiao Yan'an felt a little disappointed that Ji Chuhe actually came to him for this matter.
"I see." He nodded in response.
"Sir, Aunt Xu lives in the west wing." Mianzhu brought Xiao Yan'an to Xu Yan'er's residence, "I will take my leave first."
When Xiao Yan'an walked in, he saw Xu Yan'er sitting alone under the window, staring in a daze in one direction.
Not even the sound of his footsteps was heard.
"Yan'er." He called softly.
Xu Yan'er was startled and immediately turned around. Seeing that it was Xiao Yan'an, a hint of surprise welled up in her eyes.
"Prince!" She immediately ran towards Xiao Yan'an, threw herself into his arms, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Prince, you finally came to see me."
Xiao Yanan patted her back and explained softly: "I just arrived in the imperial capital. I have to deal with other things first. I can't spare the time to come and see you for a while."
"I heard that the Crown Prince entered the palace today, and I have been worried, fearing that Concubine Luo would do something bad to him." Xu Yan'er felt uncontrollably afraid whenever Concubine Luo was mentioned.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. The incident in the palace is in the past. Don't think about it anymore and don't make yourself depressed."
"Prince, I don't like the imperial capital. I want to go back to Huaiyang."
"I didn't allow you to come at the beginning, but you insisted on coming along. Now you know that coming to the capital is not a good thing, right?"
"I must come with you because I don't want to be separated from the prince for so long. Even if the imperial capital is full of dangers, I won't regret coming here. At least, I can be with the prince."
"Hold on for a while longer. Once the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is over, we'll go back to Huaiyang."
"Ah."
"Prince, what happened when you entered the palace today?" Xu Yan'er wanted to know the situation.
Xiao Yanan suddenly remembered that he was crushed by Luo Jixun's strength, and felt unhappy, "Nothing happened."
"I heard that the prince received a reward from the emperor today. Concubine Luo will never dare to embarrass the prince so easily again."
"Yeah." Xiao Yanan replied absentmindedly.
"Prince, can you come to see me every day?" Xu Yan'er looked at Xiao Yan'an pitifully.
"After all, we live in the Duke's Mansion. As guests, we must be cautious. Therefore, I can't guarantee that I can come to see you every day, but I will come whenever I have the chance."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Your Highness." Xu Yan'er nodded with emotion, "Your Highness, I have another question for you."
"what is the problem?"
"Do you still like me as before?" Without waiting for Xiao Yan'an to answer, Xu Yan'er quickly added: "I know that I have deceived you in many things. I was ambitious and even coveted the position of the prince's wife. Now I really don't want to think about those things anymore. I will also respect the lady and get along well with Dong Ling. In the future, I will be a good concubine of the prince. Prince, will you still like me as before?"
Xiao Yan'an smoothed the hair at Xu Yan'er's temples and nodded with tenderness in his eyes.
Xu Yan'er was moved again and threw herself into Xiao Yan'an's arms.
"Sir, Madam said that we are a family, and living a good life is more important than anything else. Madam is so open-minded that I am ashamed of myself."
"Did Madam really say that?" Xiao Yan'an felt a little warm in his heart.
Marry a virtuous wife, and that must be Ji Chuhe!
She is more than virtuous.
In his heart, she was perfect.
But there was one thing: she didn't like him.
He was referring to the kind of love that men and women feel for each other.
But then I thought about it.
If she fell in love with him, she would no longer be Ji Chuhe.
He is not worthy of her love now.
When Xiao Yan'an thought about this, he felt a little panicked again.
What kind of man does she like?
Will she fall in love with another man one day?
Just thinking about it made him feel terribly uncomfortable.
"Yan'er, Madam is right. Let's live a good life. I will do my best and will not let Madam down. I will also take good care of you and Dong Ling. Our family will be harmonious, just like the Duke's Mansion. I will never take a concubine again."
Xu Yan'er nodded heavily, "Yes!"
She also saw the peace and tranquility of the Duke's Mansion. Who wouldn't want to have such a peaceful and happy life?
This trip to the imperial capital showed her that she could live a good life without fighting or arguing.
Moreover, she felt that a mistress like Ji Chuhe did a better job than the principal wives of the Duke's Mansion.
"Take good care of yourself. I have to go back soon. I need to get to know my cousins."
"Okay." Xu Yan'er reluctantly saw Xiao Yan'an off.
After Xiao Yan'an walked out, he took a look at the room where Ji Chuhe lived, stopped the urge to walk over, and walked away.
Noon.
Dishes delivered from the kitchenette.
Normally, the people in the Duke's Mansion do not eat together. There is a small kitchen in each courtyard.
The princess has also set up a special one these days.
Ji Chuhe, Dong Ling and Xu Yan'er had dinner together, and it was obvious that Xu Yan'er was in a much better mood.
So, this also shows how important it is to prescribe the right medicine for the disease.
Just as they finished their meal, they heard footsteps outside.
A maid who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old came outside the house.
"I greet the Crown Prince's wife. I am the maid in the Fifth Miss's room. I am here to ask the Crown Prince's wife on behalf of my young lady. Can she bring her sisters to chat with the Crown Prince's wife later?"
"Of course you can. The fifth young lady you are talking about is Miss Qingqing?" Ji Chuhe asked.
"It's Miss Five."
"Tell her she's more than welcome to come."
"Yes, I will reply right away."
As soon as the little maid left, Ji Chuhe immediately ordered Mianzhu, "Mianzhu, quickly have someone clean up the room, and put out some of the snacks we brought from Huaiyang, as well as the small gifts I prepared."
"Yes." Mianzhu immediately went to prepare.
"Madam, should Xu Yiniang and I step aside for a while?" Dong Ling asked in a low voice.
"No need, you guys just stay here, it's lively here."
Dong Ling and Xu Yan'er were delighted and responded in unison, "Yes."
