On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Yanli arrived at Prince Chen's Mansion early in the morning and looked at Xiao Muting and Si Xiujie with a smile.
"My nephew is here to greet the little emperor uncle."
"Are you here to pay my New Year greetings or to pick up someone? It just so happens that your little imperial aunt is waiting for you." Xiao Muting said calmly, neither happy nor angry.
Xiao Yanli suddenly lost her mind and turned to Si Xiujie for help, but he looked like an old god, with a bit of provocation in his eyes.
"Why are you so stunned? Go to the Hanzhu Pavilion in the backyard. They have been waiting for you there for a long time." Xiao Muting strode towards the backyard with his hands behind his back.
Xiao Yanli followed in a panic and asked Si Xiujie with his eyes, but he still ignored him. He had no choice but to catch up with Xiao Muting quickly and asked carefully: "Uncle Emperor, isn't it the only one?"
Auntie Xiao Huang, who are they... you are talking about."
Xiao Muting looked back at him and asked in a cold voice: "Did you spend the New Year at the emperor's uncle's place, or did you go to Moon Mirror City?"
"I stayed in Yuejing City for a long time, and I just returned to the city today." Xiao Yanli answered truthfully.
"So, you have already told your father about Xia Qing. What did he say?" Xiao Muting asked again.
Xiao Yanli immediately laughed happily and looked proud: "My father fully supports it, and my mother also agrees. When he learned that she was in the house, my nephew took her to his grandfather's place."
"Are you really sure? What if the emperor's uncle and the emperor's aunt don't agree?" Xiao Muting walked slowly, still looking sideways at him.
Xiao Yanli said confidently: "No, my grandfather and grandmother have always been open-minded and will not embarrass her."
"This king said it's just in case, what should you do?" Xiao Muting's voice became more serious.
Xiao Yanli was stunned for a moment and then replied: "My nephew and Xia Qing are in love, and family status is inherently unreliable. If my grandfather and grandmother object, my nephew can lead Xia Qing to start his own business. Anyway, we are both
If we serve in the army, we will have less time to return to this county and prince's palace. As long as we live happily, that's fine."
"Do you mean to sever ties with the county prince's palace?" Si Xiujie asked.
"Why not? Marriage is our personal matter. The elders in the family should also understand the wishes of the younger ones. They have to find a match, but the two of them can't see each other. What kind of life will they live like?
If they meet like enemies, it’s better not to get married. Don’t the elders all want the younger generation to live happily?” Xiao Yanli replied confidently.
Si Xiujie raised an eyebrow at Xiao Muting and said, "What he said makes sense."
"I didn't hear that you are willing to let your sister live a life apart from the family, but Han'er is not willing. That is her dearest child, how could she agree." Xiao Muting choked him angrily.
Si Xiujie curled his lips and nodded: "That would indeed be a bit miserable, but it doesn't necessarily make life difficult."
"Humph! You don't even have the ability to convince the elders in the family to accept it. You still want to get married. What a delusion!" Xiao Muting threw down his sleeves and strode towards the direction of Hanzhu Pavilion.
When Si Xiujie was about to follow, he was stopped by Xiao Yanli and asked anxiously: "Brother-in-law, what's going on?"
"Are you really unsure?" Si Xiujie asked without answering.
"Of course I am not sure about anything. I have already explained the situation to my grandfather and grandmother. The whole family agreed, so they allowed me to take Xia Qing with me. She said she suffered a lot outside.
You need to take good care of her. My father and mother are waiting at the house. I am confused as to what is going on here." Xiao Yanli frowned in confusion.
Si Xiujie nodded with satisfaction and patted him on the shoulder again: "Boy, you have to treat my adopted sister well, otherwise, don't blame me for raising an army to defeat you, a general who is only a fifth-grade general.
"
"What! What foster sister?" Xiao Yanli was stunned again.
Si Xiujie smiled at him: "Let's go, there are still people waiting for you in the pavilion. Don't think that you have won after passing my level. The main event is later."
Seeing him striding away, Xiao Yanli grinned and shook his head, then ran after him quickly.
"Brother-in-law, please tell me who else is in this pavilion."
"Little Auntie Huang, your Imperial Sister, and an ancient lady are all in trouble. If anyone can't get through, it will be very difficult for you to hold the beauty back." Si Xiujie reminded him kindly.
Xiao Yanli asked confusedly: "I understand, Auntie Huang, Xia Qing is her vice-captain, what's going on with Sister Huang?"
"Because Xia Qing is now my sister-in-law. I recognized her on New Year's Eve. Naturally, your sister-in-law is her sister-in-law. How could she not take care of the marriage of my sister-in-law? How could she not care about Xia Qing's sister-in-law?"
Qing had already worshiped Gu Muyun as his master a long time ago and studied medical skills with him, so the ancient lady is naturally his master. This is a solid support, and it doesn't matter who you offend." Si Xiujie looked at him with gloating.
.
Xiao Yanli grinned again, and then stared at him: "Brother-in-law, you are too uninterested. You didn't talk to me about such a big matter earlier, and you only talked about it now, but it's not too late.
Anyway, I am determined to marry Xia Qing."
Si Xiujie pressed his shoulders again and said solemnly: "Boy, don't say that my brother-in-law didn't remind you. The little emperor's aunt has always valued monogamy, and the people under her naturally hope that they can get true love."
Happiness, you are a descendant of the royal family, and your status is also special, so it may not be easy to handle concubinage."
"What kind of concubine do you want? One wife is enough, why do you need so many women, and they don't want to do anything?" Xiao Yanli answered calmly.
Si Xiujie smiled and nodded with satisfaction, put his arm around his shoulders, and the two of them walked forward together: "I thought you were good before, but now it seems that I have a good taste."
, you kid, remember what you said today, and don’t go back on your word.”
"Of course not. I chose Xia Qing myself. Of course I know how good she is. Although she is sometimes very stubborn and strong, and can have a little temper, I like them all. How could it be possible?
Will you love her or not? Besides, she was inferior to her own status before. In fact, if we seriously calculate it, her status is not low at all. Now that her brother-in-law is here, it is even more unnecessary." Xiao
Yanli smiled proudly and shook her head.
Xiao Muting was walking not far in front of them, naturally listening to the conversation between the two, and raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction.
But he still said calmly: "Go faster, don't make your aunt the emperor anxious, I'll see you later."
"Coming!" Xiao Yanli responded immediately.
Hearing Si Xiujie burst into laughter, he immediately waved his hand to stop him from laughing: "Brother-in-law, please don't hurt me, little aunt, aren't you afraid?"
"I didn't commit any crime, so what should I be afraid of?" Si Xiujie still smiled.
"I'm afraid. I don't know why. I'm afraid of her. I didn't make any mistakes, but I'm just afraid." Xiao Yanli said very seriously.
Xiao Muting shouted coldly again: "It's over, don't you want to pick someone up?"
"Yes, why don't you?" Xiao Yanli replied smoothly, tapping her feet on the ground, and rushed to Xiao Muting's side, looking at him with a naive smile.
Si Xiujie laughed out loud again and shook his head. Xiao Yanli, who had always been smart and brave, now looked like a stupid boy with a stupid head.
