"Haha!" The parrot, which had been quiet for a while, suddenly let out a hoarse laugh, and then flapped its wings happily in the cage.
"Shut up!" Almost at the same time, Xuan Yi and Xian Ziqian turned to look at the parrot and said the same two words at the same time. The parrot immediately retreated to a corner of the cage and combed its feathers very reservedly, as if it didn't listen.
It's the same as seeing the two people in front of you.
"Are you sure it's just a parrot?" Xian Ziqian sighed. Such smart parrots are rare. "Mr. Xuan, where did you get it? You really should find a more powerful one. It's a male."
Is it a parrot? You can find a female parrot for it that is more powerful than it is."
Xuan Yi turned his gaze from the parrot to Xian Zijian and nodded in agreement.
Hearing the slightly chaotic footsteps coming from outside, Xuan Yi immediately suppressed the teasing on his face and replaced it with a smile that was both respectful and casual. Looking at his expression, Xian Ziqian guessed that the Queen Mother might have finished dealing with the Queen's side.
Things came back quickly.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother and her entourage walked in from outside. There was still a bit of displeasure on the Queen Mother's face. Xian Ziqian vaguely heard the two young eunuchs chatting with each other and said that the Queen Mother disliked the current one the most.
The Empress, it turns out that this Empress likes to fight against the Queen Mother the most.
"Xuan Yi pays homage to the Queen Mother." Xuan Yi's voice was just right. It didn't sound condescending, but also showed respect and a little respect.
Xian Ziqian silently saluted. Wherever Xuan Yi was, it was best for her not to exist.
When the Empress Dowager saw Xuan Yi, she immediately put a smile on her face. It seemed that the previous depression was swept away.
Xuan Yi had no choice, so when he saw Xuan Yi, he immediately felt in a good mood to play tricks on others.
"Oh, Yi'er." The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "The Ai family was still thinking about whether the matchmaking of the Ai family did not satisfy Yi'er, so even after the decree was passed down, the boy did not come to the Ai family.
Xie En, why are you waiting here? You see, the Ai family treats you well. They chose a girl who is not so scheming and good-looking, and gave her the status of a royal princess. Do you want to treat her well?
Thank you Aijia?"
Xuan Yi curled his lips and said with a hint of helplessness: "You see that Xuan Yi is too comfortable, right? You have to give Xuan Yi a woman to be satisfied? Even if you give Xuan Yi a woman, you can still find one.
A smarter woman, a beautiful woman who is good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, right? You dare to give this girl to Xuan Yi."
The Queen Mother smiled and said half-truthfully: "Is it possible for the Ai family to give you a Xian Zi Ai? Don't glare at the Ai family, don't pretend that the Ai family doesn't know anything. Mrs. Guan has been nagging the Ai family for several times.
Last time, it was said that Xian Ziai had bad character and seduced the eldest son of the Xuan family. Did you provoke him again?"
Xuan Yi raised his eyebrows and said with the same half-truth and half-falseness: "My fair lady, a gentleman is so kind. Looking at a beautiful girl's house, Xuan Yi will naturally take a few more glances or praise her. Mrs. Guan's family is too
If you are suspicious, you won’t believe it, right?”
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." The Empress Dowager smiled and sat down on the couch and took a sip of water. "Now the Ai family has found a marriage for you. Do you want to let it go? Although this girl Xian Ziqian is not as good as her sister,
He is generally well-mannered and intelligent, but he is more gentle, honest, and gentle in nature. If he hadn't taken care of the fact that you are not yet married, how would he be willing to leave such a wonderful person to you. Although your Xuanwang Palace and the Daxing Dynasty have always had a good personal relationship, Your Majesty also
You can't go too far if you turn a blind eye. Is it possible that all the daughters' families in the Daxing Dynasty are better than our daughters' families in the Wumeng Kingdom? Now the Ai family will be the matchmakers to help you and Xian Ziqian.
"
"Empress Dowager, don't you know the fragrance of flowers in other courtyards?" Xuan Yi said with a smile, "How about the emperor's brother marrying one after another?"
The Queen Mother glared at Xuan Yi and said with half annoyance: "Don't mention the emperor's concubines, they are all transformed from foxes!"
"Haha." Xuan Yi laughed. It seemed that the Queen Mother's marriage to him and Xian Ziyan had been settled without leaving any trace. Xian Zijin could not tell from his face whether he was willing or not.
The Queen Mother ordered people to take Xian Ziqian to rest elsewhere. It seemed that she still had something to discuss with Xuan Yi.
A slave named Liuli took Xian Zigen to the resting place prepared for her. On the way, he said with a smile: "My slave, I would like to congratulate your favorite princess. To be favored by the Queen Mother and to marry Mr. Xuan is a great achievement for you."
His blessing, if not anything else, is just the rule of Prince Xuan’s palace that only one wife is allowed to marry, this is something that many wealthy families would not even dare to think about.”
Xian Zijian and Liuli were not familiar with each other, so she didn't say much and just smiled.
This time, Xian Ziqian found that the place where she rested was no longer a small room. It was larger than the room where she rested at home. It was clean and comfortable. The bed was huge, covered with quilts with complicated patterns, and translucent gauze hanging down.
There were vague patterns of peonies on the tent, and Xian Ziqian recognized it at a glance as being made in her own shop. The patterns were cleverly formed based on the color of the yarn, and the patterns appeared differently depending on the light.
"You are now the favorite princess in the palace, and you must follow the rules in the palace. You can rest for a while, and then go over and accompany the Queen Mother when she passes the meal." Liuli smiled slightly, "If you are hungry or thirsty,
, my servant will go get you some snacks to cushion your bed."
Xian Ziyan nodded. Now that Liuli has left, this slave seems to have been standing behind the Queen Mother. She should be a close confidant of the Queen Mother.
Feeling a little bored, Xian Ziqian walked around the room. There weren't many things, but they were all exquisite. Both the embroidery and carving were of top quality.
"The favorite princess." Liuli's voice sounded softly behind Xian Ziyan.
Jin Guard, he told his slave that there is something that Mr. Xuan wants the slave to give to you."
After saying that, he took off a small bundle from his arm and handed it to Xian Ziqian. He smiled respectfully and said, "I have to go to serve the Queen Mother. I will choose a reliable person to come and serve the princess I like."
Watching Liuli leave, Xian Ziqian opened the baggage with some curiosity, her eyes widened instantly. It was her sister's dress that she was wearing when she fell into the lotus pond. This dress was a reward from the Queen Mother and a palace item specially given to her sister by Mrs. Guan.
, is it possible that there is some damage to this dress?
