Fan Xian had not thought that his grandmother would send Sisi, who was far away in Danzhou, to Jingdou. Looking at the girl he had spent many peaceful years with, he was happy but also had a headache. He didn't know what to do. His grandmother's meaning was clear. She wanted him to take Sisi into his room. Looking at Sisi's appearance, she probably wouldn't choose any other solution.
"Go rest first." Fan Xian did his best to appear gentle.
However, Sisi still felt that the young master in front of her seemed to have become somewhat unfamiliar. After all, Fan Xian had endured too many trials and struggles in Jingdou. Other than his steadiness, his temperament had also gained an indescribable quality.
Seeing Sisi's somewhat uneasy expression, Fan Xian laughed and said, "This girl, what are you thinking now? After you've eaten and drunk your fill, I'll take you for a stroll around the capital. "
Sisi felt wronged and said, "Sisi is here to serve you, not for you to serve me."
Fan Xian felt good hearing this. After all, this was a girl who had grown up with him. Her words and actions were much more direct, unlike the servant girls of the Fan family in Jingdou. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of him, much less refute his intentions.
Fan Xian walked forward and gently patted her slightly thin cheek. Smiling, he said, "Fine, fine, I'll let you serve me. Even if you have to copy books and grind ink, you have to wash it off first. My whole body is sore. Everyone says that a beautiful sleeve adds fragrance to reading at night. Are you going to add some vinegar for me? "
The Qing Kingdom did not have the story of Fang Xuanling's wife drinking vinegar to show her determination, so no one could hear the playfulness in these words. Fan Xian couldn't help but feel a bit of regret for casting pearls before swine.
Sisi was embarrassed and embarrassed. She bowed again and then followed the servant girl to freshen up. These servant girls had long seen that this servant girl was different from them, so they were especially polite.
…
…
"So this girl is Sisi?"
There was no jealousy as Fan Xian had expected. There was only curiosity on Lin Wan'er's face. She smiled and said, "I've always heard you say that the girl in Danzhou is much more diligent than Siqi. Today we finally meet."
After all, the Kingdom of Qing was still a world where men were superior to women. Although Lin Wan'er was a princess, she did not seem to have too many thoughts or sensibilities. Besides, even if Fan Xian were to take a concubine, would a princess be jealous of those women? Fan Xian smiled. Fortunately, this matter had nothing to do with him. Otherwise, if he had made the little tiger unhappy, would he still have his arms?

"Marriage is the grave of love," Fan Xian said sourly. "So we have to walk more, don't become a pair of zombies."
Lin Wan'er frowned and pouted. "I'm afraid of the cold," she said pitifully.
"The snow in Cang Mountain is good, especially in autumn and winter." Fan Xian looked at his wife with a smile, tempting her like a staff member of a travel agency. "Although the medicine my teacher gave you is very effective, and the imperial physicians were pleasantly surprised after taking your pulse, a high altitude place will be very beneficial to your body."
Lin Wan'er tilted her head and leaned against his chest. She gently rubbed against him and said softly, "I still don't understand what altitude means."
"It means how much higher it is compared to the surface of the sea." Fan Xian felt this explanation was a bit awkward.
"I still don't understand," Lin Wan'er said with a pained expression. "Can we not go? I'm afraid of climbing mountains. I'm afraid of the cold. "
Fan Xian said unhappily, "Look at how round your face is now. There's no harm in exercising more."
Lin Wan'er suddenly struggled out of his arms and said with a pained expression, "Last night, you said you liked me to be a bit fatter!"
Fan Xian almost laughed, but he still suppressed it and said seriously, "Turn off the lights. Of course, being a bit fatter is good, but looking at you during the day … it's better to be a bit thinner."
Lin Wan'er huffed angrily and rushed to walk in the corridor. Fan Xian hurriedly followed, not looking at her directly. He was only a step ahead and quietly said, "I like the fleshy parts of your body the most, don't you know?"
In the autumn palace, it was like a gust of summer wind was blowing in the face. Lin Wan'er's face heated up, and in a moment, she blushed. She took two steps forward and grabbed Fan Xian's hand. She lowered her head and said, "There are so many people following behind us. Don't you feel ashamed?"
The two of them were in the palace, followed by a large group of old women, eunuchs, and palace maids. But those people all had their heads down and were some distance away from Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er. Presumably, they hadn't heard what the young couple had said.
Fan Xian's face was still facing forward. He smiled and said, "My wife, you must learn from your husband how to do many earth-shattering things without changing your expression."
There was a hidden meaning to this, but Lin Wan'er didn't understand. Today was the first time the two of them had entered the palace since their wedding. When the concubines saw Lin Wan'er, they all hugged their sweethearts and called out to them, giving them gifts. Fan Xian didn't refuse any of them, but seeing how worried the concubines were for Lin Wan'er, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. This woman's family was from the royal family. If there was a conflict between the couple in the future, wouldn't he die without a burial?
His Majesty the Emperor had four sons, the Crown Prince, and the Third Prince. This proved that he was not a womanizer. Coincidentally, of all the concubines in the palace, none of them had given birth to a princess. So Lin Wan'er, who had been raised in the palace, naturally became the concubines' favorite.
Lin Wan'er was used to the palace, so she wasn't as nervous as Fan Xian had been when he first entered the palace. Instead, it was as if she were playing in the back garden of her home. Fan Xian was affected by this, and the Eldest Princess, whom he hated the most, had now returned to her fiefdom, Xinyang. So he relaxed and followed her around the palace. Earlier, when he had met with the empress, Fan Xian had already brought up the matter of going to the Cang Mountains for a vacation, and he had obtained the approval of the nobility in the palace.
Unexpectedly, Wan'er was a silly girl who was afraid of the cold.
But Fan Xian had already made up his mind, especially after the new year, when the exchange of prisoners between the Kingdom of Qing and Northern Qi would officially begin. The Overwatch Council had sent word through Wang Qinian. It seemed that this matter had something to do with Fan Xian, so he needed a quiet place to deal with some matters and prepare some things.
But it was a pity that when he entered the palace, he did not see his uncle, the Emperor. Lin Wan'er was a little disappointed. Fan Xian's calm face hid some other emotions.

A procession of carriages set off from Fan Manor. Today, Prime Minister Lin had also come to see off his beloved daughter, so the scene seemed even more grand. The pedestrians on the street were also pointing at the procession. After all, a few days ago, the Fan and Lin families had united by marriage, and the wedding scene had shocked half the capital. Who would have thought that in just a few days, the "immortal poet" of the Fan family would cause such a ruckus?
"Why are you leaving the capital so soon after getting married?" An old man in the crowd frowned, his hands behind his back. "Young people these days, relying on their family's wealth and power, only know how to play around. I heard that Master Fan is also a professor at the Imperial College. Why are you going to the Cang Mountains?"
"Look, don't you understand?" A young man next to him laughed. "Master Fan is going on a honeymoon. He has to specifically pick a secluded place."
"What is a honeymoon?" A sister-in-law was interested.
"It means that life is as sweet as honey." Another poor man, who was obviously related to Fan Manor, laughed mockingly. "You don't even know that? It's a new phrase invented by Master Fan."
The sister-in-law was angry. "That's a weird phrase. What's there to know? Besides, what honeymoon? If you want to pick a secluded place to stay for a few days, then don't you understand? Isn't it just for the sake of peace, happiness, and having a fat boy? "
...
...
Sitting in the carriage leaving the capital, on his left was Lin Wan'er, who was curled up in her fur coat like a cat. She looked at Fan Xian with a smile in her eyes that were like spring water. On his left was the gentle and courteous Fan Ruoruo, who was currently peeling an orange, carefully picking the white strands from the flesh, and then putting the pieces into Fan Xian's mouth.
Fan Xian half-closed his eyes. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lin Wan'er's expression. He couldn't help but frown. "It's only autumn. Why are you so afraid of the cold?"
Lin Wan'er giggled and climbed up. She moved closer to him and opened her mouth. Fan Xian's heart trembled. He heard her say to Ruoruo, "Good sister, give me an orange."
Fan Ruoruo smiled. "Sister-in-law, you can't eat oranges when you're sick. You'll get sick."
Lin Wan'er frowned. "That's annoying."
Fan Xian didn't understand how his wife and sister addressed each other. "One calls me sister, and the other calls me sister-in-law. What kind of address is that?"
Lin Wan'er stuck out her tongue. "I'm used to calling her sister." Fan Ruoruo couldn't help but laugh. She pointed at her brother's nose. "Before you got married, my brother told me to call you sister-in-law, so I'm used to it."
Fan Xian shook his head helplessly. The carriage was warm, and after leaving the capital, it was easy to get sleepy. Lin Wan'er leaned on Fan Xian's shoulder, and Ruoruo rested against the carriage wall.
The carriage suddenly shook, waking Wan 'er from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Are we there yet?"
"How could we be so fast?" Fan Xian smiled and shook his head. "Although the villa in the Cang Mountains can't compare to the one in the palace, it's still halfway up the mountain. It'll take three days to get out of the capital."
Lin Wan'er looked at him calmly. "Leaving the capital so soon after marriage, other than to recuperate, what other reason is there?"
Fan Xian knew he couldn't hide this from her, and he didn't want to hide it. He smiled. "Your two cousins send people to the manor every day. I'm scared, so of course I have to hide. Choosing sides at this time, no matter which side, is a stupid thing to do. "
