Chapter 118 It would be great if Xie Yan was her mistress
When this thought came to her mind, Ruan Yunsheng was shocked, but she couldn't help but think further: It would be great if Xie Yan was really her mistress!
When she was in a good mood, she would go to the other courtyard to see him and order him to behave himself; when she was in a bad mood, she would deliberately withhold food from him, watching him starve, and he would have to come and beg her if he wanted to eat.
Anyway, as long as he is hers, she can do whatever she wants to him!
No one would send him concubines or arrange marriages for him...
Xie Yan saw the corners of her lips curl up slightly, and a sly light flashed in the corners of her eyes. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about, Shengsheng? You're smiling so happily."
Ruan Yunsheng was still immersed in his own fantasy, and subconsciously blurted out: "What do I want you to do in order to be obedient?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly came back to her senses and when she looked up, she met Xie Yan's deep eyes.
Those dark eyes were bottomless, hiding emotions that she couldn't understand.
Xie Yan slowly approached, his warm breath brushing against her ears, his voice low and bewitching: "Shengsheng, how do you expect me to be obedient?"
Ruan Yunsheng's eyelashes trembled and his cheeks felt inexplicably hot.
She hurriedly looked away, coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Fifth brother, you've come just in time. I have something to tell you. Princess An said that the emperor intends to grant you a marriage. If you have a girl you like, it's best to tell the emperor as soon as possible, otherwise the emperor will issue an imperial decree and it will be impossible to change it."
Xie Yan's smile faded a little, and he asked, "Is this all Princess An told you?"
"Also," Ruan Yunsheng remembered something, "I met Su Muyan today. He said that every time he wanted to go to the Marquis' Mansion to see me, something unexpected would happen on the way, as if someone was deliberately preventing him from coming."
Xie Yan pretended to be surprised: "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes," Ruan Yunsheng nodded, "The princess and I guess that maybe Xie Huaiye hasn't given up on me yet, so he's doing bad things in secret."
Xie Yan nodded in agreement with her words, "I think it's most likely him."
Ruan Yunsheng added, "That's why the princess also advised me to get married soon, to prevent someone from harboring evil intentions."
Xie Yan paused and asked carefully, "What kind of person does Shengsheng like?"
Five years ago, in Shengsheng's eyes, Xie Huaiye was a perfect fiancé, elegant and graceful.
He is obviously not such a person, but because Shengsheng likes this type of person, he pretends to be a self-disciplined and modest gentleman.
However, he failed to achieve his desired result and ended up with a dog, which made Shengsheng dislike him more and more.
So he is not quite sure now, what type of man Shengsheng likes.
Ruan Yunsheng said without hesitation: "Of course I like obedient ones, those who are well-behaved, sensible and gentle."
Xie Yan lowered his eyes slightly. Is he obedient, well-behaved, sensible and gentle?
Then in this world, no one will listen to Shengsheng more than him.
Ruan Yunsheng poked Xie Yan with his finger and asked curiously, "Fifth Brother, do you have someone you like? What kind of girl do you like?"
Xie Yan looked at her, his Adam's apple rolling, and changed the subject: "Shengsheng, my servants sent me a talking parrot, which is now kept in my study. It's still early, do you want to go back to Prince Xuan's Mansion with me to take a look?"
He grew up with Shengsheng, so he naturally knew that she preferred novel gadgets rather than fancy clothes and jewelry.
Ruan Yunsheng blinked. "Can your parrot really speak? What can it say?"
Once, when I attended a banquet, there was a noble lady who also kept a parrot. She specially asked her maid to carry the birdcage to the banquet and invited her to see it.
Unfortunately, the parrot was timid and was so scared that it curled up in the cage without making a sound.
The lady felt embarrassed and opened the cage door to catch the parrot and teach it a lesson, but the parrot took the opportunity to fly away.
Xie Yan's eyes were gentle: "Of course, as for what he will say, Shengsheng will know when she goes there."
Ruan Yunsheng was indeed tempted and ordered the driver to change the route to Prince Xuan's Mansion.
She had rarely been to Prince Xuan's Mansion before and didn't know where the study was. After getting off the car, she urged Xie Yan to take her to see it quickly.
When I walked into the study, I saw an exquisite carved birdcage hanging in front of the window.
There is a colorful parrot inside with long tail feathers. It is preening its feathers with its head tilted.
Ruan Yunsheng took a few steps forward, gently inserted his fingertips into the cage bars, and curiously touched the top of the parrot's head.
The parrot immediately flapped its wings twice and called out at the top of its voice: "Princess! Princess!"
“It actually can talk!”
Ruan Yunsheng opened his eyes wide in surprise, and unconsciously stretched his arm to the side, pulling Xie Yan's sleeve to pull him over, his eyes still fixed on the parrot.
His tone was full of joy: "Look, it actually recognized me!"
Xie Yan was pulled closer by Ruan Yunsheng, and he could smell her fragrance again.
He lowered his eyes to look at the sleeve that she was holding in her palm, then raised his eyes to look at her sparkling profile, with an indulgent smile in his eyes.
He was surprised and said, "Before, the servants in the mansion tried to teach this parrot to say 'Prince', but it just couldn't learn no matter how hard they tried. I didn't expect that once it saw Shengsheng, it suddenly learned it without any instruction."
Ruan Yunsheng suddenly became proud and tapped the parrot's beak with his fingertips: "Even birds know how to please this princess! What else can it say?"
Xie Yan shook his head helplessly. This parrot had been raised in the mansion for some time. When it was first brought in, it could say a few auspicious words, but it was very stupid. After it was taught the word "Princess", it forgot all the previous words.
He said lovingly, "If Shengsheng likes it, take it back home and slowly teach it to speak."
Ruan Yunsheng hadn't expected Xie Yan to be so understanding now. While teasing the parrot in the cage with his fingertips, he said nonchalantly, "If you were like this when you were a child, I wouldn't always want to bully you."
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and took a half step forward, his breath gently brushing against her ear: "When did Shengsheng bully me? Why don't I remember?"
Ruan Yunsheng was stunned and looked up at him in surprise.
She had bullied Xie Yan quite a few times in the past, but most of the time it was because he made her angry first that she punished him.
But Xie Yan looked as if he had forgotten.
But that's true. In Xie Yan's eyes, the incident happened many years ago, and she fell into the lake because of Xie Yan. Given Xie Yan's personality, he must feel very guilty.
Since Xie Yan didn't care, she would be more generous and forget about the things he had done against her in the past.
Anyway, we will be "good brothers and sisters" in the future.
Just as I was thinking about it, there were two light knocks on the door.
Han Ying's voice came through the door, respectful and steady: "Your Highness, Commander Shen has arrived."
Xie Yan stood up and said calmly, "Let him wait in the living room."
The footsteps outside the door quickly faded away.
Ruan Yunsheng casually asked, "Is it the Palace Guard Commander-in-Chief, Shen Da?"
Xie Yan nodded, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment, and said softly, "I'll be back soon. Shengsheng, wait for me here, okay?"
He casually glanced at the cabinet by the wall and said deliberately, "If Shengsheng likes anything in this study, feel free to take it."
