Chapter 52: Just What She Wanted
"Sister Siyin!"
The girl gently patted her shoulder from behind, laughing adorably, "I was wondering when Sister Siyin would arrive, I didn't expect it to be so soon."
"You've arrived."
Yuan Siyin snapped out of her daze, smiled, and let her affectionately take her arm.
"How about it?"
She paused for a moment before realizing that Qi Xinxin was asking about the layout of the courtyard.
"Of course it's good."
"Does Sister Siyin like it?"
Although she was a little confused, Yuan Siyin nodded.
Putting aside whether it looks good or not, when you visit someone's home, can you say that their home is poorly decorated?
She was afraid of going in vertically and coming out horizontally.
"And what about these snacks? Do you like them?"
"like."
"What about the fish in this lake?" Qi Xinxin continued to ask.
"like."
What about me?
"like."
Without listening carefully, Yuan Siyin blurted out that she liked it, and it took her a while to realize that something was off.
Wait, did something strange just sneak in?
Qi Xinxin laughed even harder upon seeing this.
Si Chou was right; Sister Si Yin is indeed beautiful and a bit of a ditz.
Although it was a little disappointing that it was not quite the same as the rumors in the capital, it was definitely beautiful.
Thinking of this, she quickly changed the subject and moved on from the matter.
"By the way, the Ghost Festival is coming up in the latter half of the month. Will Sister Siyin go to pray for blessings at the sacrificial ceremony?"
If we're going, why don't we go together to the north of the city to offer incense and worship Buddha? I've heard that the Tanzhe Temple on the mountain is very efficacious."
Yuan Siyin initially wanted to refuse, but upon hearing the words "efficacious," she wavered.
Now that things have come to this, there's no turning back for her.
But what if it actually works?
Anyway, it's a sure-fire way to make money, so doing it is better than not doing it at all.
Yuan Siyin sat and chatted with Qi Xinxin for a long time, without mentioning the matter of entering the palace.
Tea and snacks were served one after another, but she felt it was getting late and she shouldn't bother them any longer, so she got up to say goodbye.
Qi Xinxin, who was reluctantly standing at the door watching her leave, waved goodbye. Yuan Siyin turned around and began to think as she walked away.
The original plan was to find a pretext to bring Qi Xinxin back to the palace, but when Qi Xinxin mentioned going to Tantuo Temple to offer incense, she suddenly remembered.
Because many plot points have changed compared to the original book, Yu Yuanchao's decision to make Shen Ruolan a concubine means that she is not far from leaving the palace and establishing her own household.
If even the favored crown prince has to leave the palace, then the poor, unfavored Yu Shiyan is even more so.
As if he had suddenly remembered this matter, the emperor had issued an imperial edict a few days ago, casually bestowing upon Yu Shiyan the title of Prince Mu and granting him the Prince Mu's Mansion located in the suburbs of the city.
That's why we talk about treating people differently.
The Crown Prince's residence was located not far from the palace, while the Mu Prince's residence was in a relatively remote suburb.
But this suited her just fine.
The palace is ultimately governed by strict rules, making everything restrictive, unlike the outside world.
Moreover, this way she could openly arrange for the male and female leads to meet, saving her the trouble of racking her brains to lie to Qi Xinxin.
Yuan Siyin returned home refreshed, but as soon as she arrived at the gate, she saw Yuan Fuqing sitting on the stone steps with his chubby little face propped up in his hands, refusing to move an inch no matter how the gatekeeper tried to persuade him.
He would occasionally poke the embroidered ball under the stone lion's paw, and sigh from time to time, as if he were waiting for her on purpose.
"What's wrong? Why are you sitting here?"
Yuan Siyin raised her voice, and because she was in a good mood, she took bigger steps and arrived in front of him in no time.
