The time has passed and the snow is getting heavier and heavier.
This year's winter snow seems to be different from previous years. The first snowfall has already covered the streets with a thick layer of snowflakes, making a rustling sound when people step on it.
Many vendors who had set up their stalls early could not bear the sudden cold, so they closed their stalls and returned.
Not far from the gate of the Prince's Mansion, a little girl selling hair cakes was blowing the air-conditioner in the snow and refused to go home. Her cheeks were stained with white frost.
At this time, the Prince's Mansion was still as calm as ever.
No officials came to visit, let alone anyone from the mansion. Only a few snow-clearing servants tried to drive away the poor little girl.
Today seems to be calmer than usual.
Li Xiaoxin, who was still watching at the door of the house, gradually frowned and hid her hands in her sleeves. She looked calm, but in fact she was sweating from nervousness.
Next to Li Xiaoxin was Nie Shisan, who was wearing a fur coat. His open cloak blocked the sword at his waist. He looked like an ordinary person, without any abnormalities.
"The Prince's Mansion is a little abnormally calm." Li Xiaoxin said worriedly.
"So what?" Nie Shisan didn't really care.
"It is said that the current prince is a ruthless person who spends every penny. According to his past temperament, the first thing he should do today is to come to take revenge. But..."
"Your Highness, this is the capital city after all, and the emperor is still watching from the palace. No one can act as they please. Besides, I'm afraid the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not the crown prince's number one enemy. Even if he wants revenge, the first
It won’t be Master Xia’s turn for a while.”
"I feel like today is too peaceful. Nie Shisan, you should go and protect Mr. Xia."
"Master Xia has ordered me to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess here. How can I leave casually?"
"The Emperor wants you to protect Mr. Xia's safety. If something goes wrong with him, how can you and I afford it?"
"If the current leader is a nestling that needs protection all the time, then instead of protecting him so laboriously, it would be better to just let him die. The Metropolitan Procuratorate would rather not have a leader than a waste."
"you……"
"Your Highness Princess, you seem to care about the First Master, and this concern does not seem to be simply to complete the emperor's mission. What exactly..."
Li Xiaoxin did not answer, but she knew that the man in front of her who had secretly protected the emperor would not be able to obey her orders.
Li Xiaoxin was about to return to the courtyard when she saw the door of the Prince's Mansion opposite opened.
Li Xiaoxin's heart tightened instinctively, thinking that the prince had made a move, but what came out was Jiaqian and her maid.
From a long distance away, Jiaqian noticed Li Xiaoxin not far away from the opposite side, and smiled and waved to Li Xiaoxin.
Jiaqian quickened her pace, and the maid behind her followed with difficulty, carrying a big bag on her back. She looked like she was about to run away from home.
But before Jiaqian walked a few steps, she noticed the little girl selling cakes at the door. She stopped and scolded the servant who was clearing the snow. She didn't know what he said. She seemed to buy all the cakes from the little girl, and then
Arrived at Li Xiaoxin.
"Sister, I came uninvited."
Jiaqian trotted and soon arrived in front of Li Xiaoxin.
But the maid behind her was still calling: "Miss, please wait for me."
Li Xiaoxin looked at the luggage carried by the maid behind her: "Sister, what are you..."
"They are all my sister's usual paintings and calligraphy. I came here specifically to ask my brother-in-law for advice."
"Well..." Li Xiaoxin couldn't help but feel embarrassed, "Even so, my sister doesn't have to..."
Jiaqian was completely unaware and looked into the courtyard: "Where is my brother-in-law?"
"Your brother-in-law has something to do and has to go out in a hurry."
"ah?"
"There is no need to be disappointed. If you think well, you should be back soon."
Jiaqian was a little blamed and muttered: "Brother-in-law is serious, he obviously agreed to this."
…
At this time, Xia Shang had already boarded the carriage leaving the city.
In the car, Xia Shang's heart was really hard to calm down. He never thought that one day he would have a child of his own, and that it would come so quickly.
Even after living two lives, Xia Shang still felt that his child was far away from him.
Deep down in his heart, Xia Shang was still living in the previous world, feeling that he was far from being a father at his age.
However, since everything that should come and shouldn't come has already come, although I am not ready to be a father, I still have to bite the bullet and get on with it.
Xia Shang is thinking most about how to be a father and how to make a good impression on his children later.
Along the way, Xia Shang kept asking the servants accompanying him outside the car about the situation at home.
That servant had never seen his master before, but he didn't expect that his master was such a petty person.
On the contrary, the image rumored in the family is completely different.
At the end, the servant couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Master, if you have anything else you want to know, please contact the young master or sister Yazhi. There are many things that I don't know in detail."
Xia Shang was a little embarrassed, but fortunately no one noticed in the car.
This basin of cold water actually made Xia Shang sober up a lot, knowing that now is not the time to think about these things.
Today is the day when Prince Li Xin's confinement expires. This person's temperament will not allow the capital to be so peaceful, but now there is no movement, which is really uneasy.
After thinking about it, Xia Shang opened the curtain first: "Go to Yong'an Lane."
The coachman reminded: "Sir, the roads in Yong'an Township and south of the city are different."
"No problem, let's go there first."
Xia Shang changed his mind temporarily because he thought that he still had an important person he had not met.
Yong'an Lane is where Mrs. Sai lives. I don't know if Mrs. Sai and Sai Jiangnan have moved away after so long.
When they arrived at the place, the Sai mother and daughter had not moved yet, which made Xia Shang very happy.
Naturally, Xia Shang's sudden visit also made the mother and daughter of the Sai family overjoyed, and they took Xia Shang to eat and drink at home.
There is intimacy and ambiguity that cannot be hidden inside and outside the house.
This scene of events shocked the servants who were accompanying them.
I wonder what my master is doing?
The young master is about to arrive, but he still lingers in another widow's house. The key is a beautiful mother and daughter, which makes people hate and envy them.
It is said that the master is a romantic figure, and it is true after seeing him today.
Xia Shang stayed in the Sai family's mother and daughter's bedroom for a long time. He could vaguely hear many small sounds outside the door, but the servants outside were scratching their heads and had no idea what the master was playing with the mother and daughter inside.
.
Unable to hold it in any longer, the servant dared to take a peek, but was grabbed by the ear by a cold maid.
"If you dare to look any further, believe it or not, I'll dig out your eyeballs?"
It is not a glorious thing to be bullied by a maid, and the servants of the Xia family are arrogant. They wanted to fight each other, but they saw that this maid had a cold aura and an edge, which was completely different from the other maids.
It was just a face-to-face encounter, and now people felt timid. Thinking about it, it was better not to provoke it. (To be continued)
