Chapter 562 Returning Home
On the third day of the new year, Xiao Jiuyue got up early on purpose to return to her parents' home. Although she had only been away for a few days, the feeling of returning to the Xiao family was different.
Xiao Mansion.
"Brother, why are you at the door? Are you going out?" As soon as Xiao Jiuyue got off the carriage, he saw Xiao Jialing coming towards him.
Xiao Jialing smiled and said, "My parents specially asked me to pick you up."
"Your Highness, Princess, welcome home." Xiao Jialing bowed deliberately, and Jun Lie supported her and said, "Brother-in-law is like this, so my brother-in-law will be embarrassed to come to our house in the future."
Jun Lie did not have the slightest airs of a prince. Instead, he called himself his brother-in-law to show his closeness.
Xiao Jialing welcomed them in with a smile and went to pay their respects to her grandmother first. Jun Lie then followed Marquis Xiao and the other men including Xiao Jialing to the front yard. Xiao Jiuyue was immediately surrounded by everyone.
"No need to ask, the prince will definitely treat her well." Old Madam Xiao has always been worried about Xiao Jiuyue. Now seeing that she has the same expression as before she got married, and there is a bit of newlywed sweetness in her eyes, she is relieved.
"Mom is relieved."
Su Su has been worried about her daughter since she got married, fearing that she would be uncomfortable living in a new place. Even though she knew Jun Lie was a very good person, he was a prince. What if...
All kinds of thoughts made Su Su even more worried.
"Grandmother, Mother, don't worry. The prince treats me very well." Xiao Jiuyue couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. She said, "The courtyard that the prince built for me was modeled after the Moon-Raising Pavilion. So, after arriving at the prince's mansion, I felt just like I was at the Xiao family. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all."
"Everyone in the mansion is obedient, and it's still the same as it was back then." Xiao Jiuyue stayed in the palace these days. Except for the fact that there was Jun Lie by her side and she couldn't see her grandmother and mother every day, it was just like being in the Xiao family.
What she does every day is the same as before.
"By the way, when you went to the palace to pay homage to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, I heard that you received greater rewards? What's going on?" Su Su thought about it. They heard little about the news in the palace and only knew that their daughter received greater rewards.
Princess Duan has even fewer.
"Because I cooked." Xiao Jiuyue immediately told him what happened when she entered the palace that day. "I was originally accompanying the Queen Mother for dinner, but then the Emperor came and praised me for cooking delicious meals while hunting. So, I showed my filial piety by cooking for him myself."
"In ordinary families, when a new bride comes home, she does have to cook." Su Su nodded in agreement and said, "Then don't worry. Everyone who has eaten your cooking thinks it's delicious!"
Su Su felt relieved after hearing this, and her words were full of pride. Her daughter's cooking skills were really impeccable.
"The Emperor and the Empress Dowager also praised Yue'er's cooking skills, which is a good thing." Old Madam Xiao said with a smile, "You are a princess, so you don't have to cook every day. Cooking once in a while can leave a good impression on them."
"Don't worry, Grandma. I don't have to wash the vegetables or prepare the side dishes. It's easy and not tiring." Xiao Jiuyue was afraid that they would worry, so she hurriedly explained, "By the way, when I came back this time, Jun Lie prepared a lot of gifts for you all."
Xiao Jiuyue took out one by one, from the grandmother to the youngest Xiao Jiahong, everyone received a gift, and the most important thing was that the gifts were all suitable.
For example, the Buddhist beads given to my grandmother were blessed.
The youngest child, Xiao Jiahong, received a Luban lock, while his younger sister received jewelry.
Madam Xiao looked at the fine Buddhist beads in her hand. When she heard Xiao Jiuyue say that they had been blessed, her eyes flashed and she asked, "Did the prince prepare these?"
"Yes, he specially brought them back from Ci'en Temple." Xiao Jiuyue smiled when she talked about this. "He prepared all these things before the wedding. When I saw the gift list yesterday, I was shocked!"
"That's thoughtful." Old Madam Xiao's smile deepened. As the prince was a prince, even if the prince just gave something casually, their Xiao family would not be able to find any fault with it. Now, he was willing to send so many things with care, which meant that the prince valued Xiao Jiuyue!
Old Madam Xiao was old, so after sitting for a while, she let them go and play by themselves.
Xiao Jiuyue followed Su Su back to Lanyue Pavilion. Looking at this familiar house, she felt like she was back in the palace. She said, "Mom, if you have the chance to go to the palace, go and take a look. He built the courtyard to be exactly like my Lanyue Pavilion. Even the flowers planted outside are the same!"
"By the way, he also built a floral swing for me in the yard. It's very comfortable to sit on it." Xiao Jiuyue likes to sit on the swing. According to her idea, the swing is not for swinging, but a swing chair. The swing chair is padded with soft cushions, which are fluffy and not uncomfortable at all!
After noon, she likes to lie on the recliner and take a nap. It is so comfortable.
"The prince treats you well, so you should treat him well too. Between husband and wife, it's all mutual. No one is always spoiled without giving back." Su Su reminded: "When love is strong, it's okay to keep giving, but life will eventually become dull, and then you will start to worry more."
"Mom, I know."
Xiao Jiuyue looked at her with a smile. The mother and daughter kept talking about some intimate words. Xiao Jiuyue listened carefully. Suddenly, she saw Su Su was a little embarrassed. When she hesitated, Xiao Jiuyue understood instantly and said, "Mom, I read the booklet. He and I are doing well!"
"Okay." Su Su heard that she understood, and then said, "Don't indulge him alone, otherwise he will get hurt."
It's inevitable that newlyweds can't control themselves.
"..." Xiao Jiuyue was embarrassed. She felt too embarrassed to talk about the matter in the boudoir even with her own mother.
Xiao Jiuyue quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, mother, when I was counting my things yesterday, I discovered that most of the money from Zhiyun Tower belonged to me."
She could understand Fengchun Tower and Ruyuge, but most of the work on Zhiyun Tower was done by her mother, second aunt and third aunt. She didn't do anything, so how could she get so much silver?
"Also, there's 20% profit." Xiao Jiuyue discovered this when he was counting things yesterday.
"This was discussed by your second and third aunts. I tried to refuse at the time, but they refused to do so. They said that even if you get married, they would still give you the two percent profit!" Su Su looked at her helplessly and said, "Your second and third aunts said that if it weren't for you, there would be no Zhiyun Tower!"
Xiao Jiuyue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take the money."
The Xiao family has now returned to Shengjing and is no longer short of money. From now on, they just need to give more advice to Zhiyun Tower. Thinking of this, Xiao Jiuyue didn't say anything else.
After lunch, it was time to say goodbye again. Xiao Jiuyue hugged Su Su, who was about to cry, and said, "Mom, didn't we agree to go to the Shang family troupe to listen to opera in a few days? Then we can see each other again."
