When Hua Xi Wan returned to the prince's residence, she felt a little sad when she thought of the child in Princess Linping's residence. Although she didn't like Princess Linping very much, she felt compassion for the child.
"Bai Xia, prepare a few generous gifts and send them to the princess' residence." Hua Xi Wan felt a little suffocated in her heart. "The child is innocent."
"Yes." Bai Xia noticed that her master's expression was not right, so she didn't dare to ask more. She turned around and prepared gifts suitable for the child.
"Sister Bai Xia." Red Tassel met Bai Xia in the corridor with tea and snacks. Seeing her serious expression, she asked worriedly, "What happened?"
"It's nothing." Bai Xia smiled faintly and shook her head. Then she said in a low voice, "Master might be in a bad mood. Serve her carefully." Although she didn't quite understand what was going on, she was certain that it had something to do with Princess Linping's residence.
"Don't worry. Wang Ye has already returned to the residence. According to the Wood-main Pipe, Wang Ye's expression is not bad." Red Tassel also whispered in Bai Xia's ear, "Maybe he'll come over in a while."
Bai Xia glared at her. "Don't talk nonsense." Seeing that Red Tassel's expression had become more restrained, she felt relieved and said, "Have you forgotten the example of Green Bead?"
"I don't have the same thoughts as her." Red Tassel muttered, but her expression became serious. As servants, no matter how much face they had, it was given by their master. If their master lost face, what benefit could they get?
As soon as the two finished speaking, they saw Wang Ye coming over. They hurriedly retreated to the side and bowed.
Yan Jinqiu strode past the two and walked into the room. Seeing Hua Xi Wan's gloomy expression, he walked to her side and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"I feel a little sad when I think of Princess Linping's two children." Hua Xi Wan forced a smile. Based on their current relationship, if she and Yan Jinqiu had children in the future, the children would suffer a lot. If they couldn't give the children a good family environment, it was better not to have children.
"I thought it was something serious. They have wet nurses to take care of them. They also have teachers and aunts to teach them. Who dares to neglect them?" Yan Jinqiu was a little disapproving because he had grown up like this. "If you're worried, you can send more children's things over."
Hua Xi Wan nodded. Seeing that there were some dark circles under his eyes, she reached out and pressed the corners of his eyes. "Didn't you rest well last night?" Last night, Yan Jinqiu had rested in the study, so Hua Xi Wan had no idea when he fell asleep. However, seeing that Yan Jinqiu didn't even try to avoid her touching the corners of his eyes, Hua Xi Wan felt a little complicated. Normal people would subconsciously reach out to block others' eyes when others were close to them. Yan Jinqiu reacted like this. She didn't know whether he really treated her as someone close to him, or he was so good at acting.
Yan Jinqiu held her hand and put it next to his cheek. He smiled silently and said, "It's okay. I had something to do last night, so I slept a little late." After that, he looked at Hua Xi Wan and said, "It's not comfortable to sleep in the study."
Hua Xi Wan saw this and patted his head with her other hand. "Then I'll ask the servants to change a softer cushion for you."
Yan Jinqiu saw that she was playing dumb, so he simply held her in his arms. "No, no matter how soft the cushion is, it's not as comfortable as sleeping here."
Hua Xi Wan reached out and poked his face. "Don't act like a spoiled child."
Yan Jinqiu's head rubbed against Hua Xi Wan's shoulder. Hua Xi Wan could only helplessly pat his back.
The so-called great man knew when to yield and when not to. This was probably how the man in her arms was behaving.
The servants in the room all bowed their heads and closed their eyes. They chose to ignore Wang Ye acting like a spoiled child towards Wang Fei. They really couldn't look at this. Where was the once cultured and elegant Wang Ye?
As expected, in front of a beauty, even the strongest man would turn soft.
Red Tassel saw the servants in the room leave. She looked at the tea and snacks in her hands and left with a smile.
"Red Tassel Jie."
Halfway there, she was stopped by a servant girl in green robes. She looked closely and recognized that this was the servant who served at the second gate. "Is there a matter?"
The servant girl in green robes looked around. After confirming that no one was around, she lowered her voice and said, "My roommate, Xiao Yu, hasn't been right recently. Last night, I heard her talking in her sleep and actually mentioned Wang Fei. Meimei doesn't dare to guess what is going on, so I'm reporting to Jiejie. "
She and Xiao Yu were in the same room. If Xiao Yu really did something daring, if the matter was exposed, she would be implicated. It was better to report to the higher-ups. Even if she couldn't get credit for reporting, she could protect herself. She still had her parents and siblings at home. She didn't dare to take the risk.
Red Tassel saw that the servant girl's expression wasn't fake. She nodded and said, "I know. When you go back, don't let her find that you told me about this. If there are other situations, you have to tell us," She thought and then added, "Tell the Wood-main Pipe is fine."
"Yes," The servant girl in green robes bowed to Red Tassel. Seeing that there was no one around, she hurriedly left.
Red Tassel gave the tray to a servant girl passing by and then found Mutong who was lecturing people. She looked at the young taijian who was so frightened by Mutong that he didn't even dare to breathe. She smiled and said, "Wood-main Pipe, busy?"
"So it is Red Tassel guniang. Please sit, sit," Mutong's face instantly lit up with a smile. He motioned for Red Tassel to sit at the stone table at the side and then ordered the person next to him to bring tea.
"Mu gonggong, there is no need for such trouble. I'll leave after saying a few words," Red Tassel looked at the other people in the surroundings. "Let these people attend to their own matters."
Mutong was a smart person and naturally understood that Red Tassel's words were not suitable for others to hear. He said, "Did you not hear Red Tassel guniang's words? What are you still standing here for?"
After these people left, Mutong said with a smile, "What good thing has happened that has caused Red Tassel guniang to come?"
"Mu gonggong is too polite. It's not a major matter, but you are the chief steward. I have to tell you about this kind of thing," Red Tassel explained the matter in detail and then said, "Wang Fei still needs people to take care of her. I will leave first."
"Red Tassel guniang, take care," Mutong politely sent her off. When Red Tassel's figure could not be seen clearly, the smile on his face faded. Wang Fei's servant girls were not simple. This was a seemingly simple matter, but in reality, it was a very troublesome matter. It was just a dream talk and could not be done accurately. But if he did not do anything, he was afraid something would happen. So he gave the matter to him and ended it. But he could not say no. The people around Wang Fei remembered to report to him if something happened. In the eyes of others, that was showing respect to him.
Mutong thought and then locked up this servant girl called Xiao Yu. No matter what was suspicious about her, he would lock her up for a few days to see if she was suspicious or had any accomplices.
Inside the main room, Hua Xi Wan and Yan Jinqiu were sitting cross-legged on a soft couch without any care for their image. There was a pile of gemstones and jade pendants in front of them.
"This jade pendant is pretty." Hua Xi Wan held the jade pendant and compared it to Yan Jinqiu's waist. Then she said, "The color of the clothing is too plain."
Yan Jinqiu smiled and said, "Aren't you also dressed plainly?"
Hua Xi Wan put down the jade pendant and took out a male hairpin from the pile. It was carved from white jade in the shape of a lucky cloud. The design was very simple, but the carving was very good. "Lin Ping Junma is not close to us, but he is still our brother-in-law. If he is dressed too brightly, isn't it a breach of etiquette?"
Yan Jin Qiu sighed. He looked at Hua Xi Wan who had her head lowered as she picked at the gemstones. For some reason, he said what he was thinking. "This person is a lowly person who is good at currying favor, but she wants to marry him no matter what. Not long after she married, Fuwang died of illness. The Emperor used this as an opportunity to demote me to inherit the wang fu. But even so, there are people outside who say that the children of my Xian Wang branch are unfilial, and are obsessed with love. It would have been fine if it was just that, but after she married and went to Jiang City, there was no news of her. In her eyes, we are just a big stick that did not break up the pair of mandarin ducks. "
Hua Xi Wan's movements slowed. She looked at Yan Jinqiu and did not speak.
"These years, Luo Zhongzhen has been sending memorials to suggest that the Emperor suppress the collateral branches of the Imperial House. It is to the Emperor's liking." Yan Jinqiu sneered. "But this good sister of mine wrote a letter for me to cooperate with Luo Zhongzhen's suggestion. It is so funny. Without our wang fu, what is she as a junzhu? But she naively abandoned her family for that man. She thought that as long as that man was good to her, any sacrifice would be worth it. "
Hua Xi Wan heard a thread of tiredness and indifference from Yan Jinqiu's words. She couldn't help but think that if she was Yan Jinqiu, she probably wouldn't have much feelings for this sister of hers. It would be good if she didn't have any resentment.
"Is it because of this that Junzhu is so distant from our fu?" Hua Xi Wan put her hands on his and smiled reassuringly at him.
"There is no such thing as a relationship in the world where she can only hurt and not ask for anything in return." Yan Jinqiu's tone was very indifferent. "I did not agree to what she wanted. Naturally, she will have resentment."
Hua Xi Wan's brow furrowed imperceptibly. This Princess Linping was slightly selfish and stupid.
"If that's the case, then we just need to have a clear conscience." Hua Xi Wan gripped Yan Jinqiu's hand. "Right now, you and she each have your own family. Who can take care of the other for the rest of their lives?"
Yan Jinqiu laughed lowly. He gripped her hand and said warmly, "I just knew that you would understand my feelings. The only person in the world who understands me is Xi Wan."
Hua Xi Wan's eyes moved, a smile on her brow. "Jinqiu has a deep heart. How can you be so sure that I will understand your feelings?" Maybe it was because the present atmosphere was too good, or maybe it was because of the death of Lin Ping Junma, but Hua Xi Wan felt that there was nothing in this world that she didn't dare to say or do. Life was short, and she had to live with herself.
Yan Jinqiu stared at her, his index finger lightly brushing across her brow. He suddenly smiled.
"I thought you would not ask this …"
