"Watch everything carefully, inside and out!"
Nian instructed.
Guo Liangxian nodded seriously, and Yuan Xueyue also nodded.
After receiving the news, Yuan Xueyue suddenly felt heavy all over... as if she couldn't breathe!
Prince Xian is really coming to visit the Guo family... This means that everyone in the city knows that Prince Xian is close to the Guo family!
By then, the Guo family will be at its peak of power. How can she convince her father to agree to a divorce?
Even if he had gone through great pains to convince his father, how could Guo Liangxian agree so easily?
Yuan Xueyue left Zhongsi Hall and gently pressed her aching chest, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"
Cuiping looked anxious and quickly helped her back to the opera house.
Yuan Xueyue lay on the couch, feeling dizzy.
Cuiping was so anxious that she wanted to go and call for help, but Yuan Xueyue stopped her and said, "Don't go."
Cuiping was slightly startled.
"Why? I see you seem unwell. There are distinguished guests arriving tomorrow. How can you handle this, Madam?"
Cuiping truly loves her master and has served her since she was a child.
Now that I am here as a dowry maid, I am taken care of even more attentively, and the young lady treats me very well!
Yuan Xueyue shook her head and said weakly, "No need. I'll lie down for a while. You can rest."
Cuiping asked worriedly, "You're already in this state, don't you really need it?"
Yuan Xueyue still refused.
This is better. Since nothing can go wrong in the mansion, we can't embarrass others.
It would be better to dig a hole yourself!
She doesn't want to stay in this place for a moment where there are so many concubines, her husband is confused, her mother-in-law is irrational, and her aunt is crazy!
In the future, no matter how rational she is, she will be tortured and destroyed!
Cuiping saw her closing her eyes to rest, so she left quietly and closed the door.
Yuan Xueyue lay on the couch, closing her eyes and thinking about something.
Next…
Everyone in the mansion, including Yaoyu Pavilion, Yanling Garden, Taoxing Pavilion, etc., knew the news of tomorrow!
It was earth-shattering, and everyone wanted to see the prince's face!
But... Ju Niu'er pursed her lips and smiled, "We are all serving the general, how can we have such a blessing?"
Jiang Tingting said, "It's not like there's no chance. Let's go ask the old lady if we can meet the prince together tomorrow."
Meng Huihui, who was sitting next to her, was speechless.
Are these two toads crazy?
The prince, is he also someone they can covet?
What Meng Huihui misses most is General Guo Liangxian, who haunts her dreams every night.
Ju Niu'er said, "Don't even think about that. We in the inner house are not allowed to see outsiders. The last time I accompanied my wife out, I was wearing a veil. Don't do anything rash."
Jiang Tingting smiled lightly, "I'm just kidding. Who doesn't want to have a sweet dream? Hehe..."
Ju Niu'er said again,
"By the way, how's the general's warehouse in the backyard that you were asked to take care of? There are a lot of weapons piled up there. Have you asked the servants in the front yard to be careful?"
Jiang Tingting was startled and said, "I didn't. Mother Rong has been very busy these past two days and didn't help me arrange it."
"I only took care of the chores in our courtyard, and asked the maids to tidy up every corner inside and outside."
Ju Niu'er nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this for now. Don't bother Mother Rong tomorrow. A distinguished guest is coming. Let's all be careful and not cause trouble for the general."
Jiang Tingting nodded helplessly.
The next day, there was no snow for the first time, and the weather was cool but suitable for walking.
The prince's sedan chair arrived in front of the Guo family's mansion at three quarters past noon. More than a dozen guards with knives lined up in formation, and the close guards approached and lifted the curtain.
The servants of the Guo family came out upon hearing the news and greeted them warmly!
Steward Li knelt down and said, "This servant pays homage to His Highness Prince Xian."
In the mansion, Guo Liangxian immediately strode out, knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you! The palace has prepared wine and food, please come in and enjoy them."
“…”
Dai Yixuan slowly stepped down from the sedan chair in the palace. He was wearing a silk brocade robe with delicate patterns. His face was cold and elegant, and his facial features were extremely majestic and cold.
He was serious and walked forward lightly.
"Okay, lead the way." Dai Yixuan said softly.
Guo Liangxian did not dare to delay and stood up to lead the way. He waved his hand behind his back to Li Guanshi, asking him to make sure to arrange the sedan chair and guards for the palace.
Some of the guards were outside, and five or six close guards followed into the palace, including his trusted subordinate, Lord Xiao Zhao.
With the prince around, Guo Liangxian naturally had no time to worry about Xiao Zhao.
The moment Dai Yixuan came in, he felt a familiar scene in the mansion. It was the vivid scene of him walking around and playing here when he was still a little prince.
He had just been crowned King of Strings.
This is indeed his old place, and he is visiting it again now.
In the main hall of the front yard, the tables and chairs are placed side by side in a spacious and neat position, which is very grand and elegant!
Guo Liangxian was also afraid that Prince Xian would come and feel uncomfortable seeing such a crowded and narrow main hall.
"Your Highness, please be careful on the steps." Guo Liangxian led the way respectfully, bending over, fearing that he would be negligent in the slightest.
The old lady was already in the room, and Yuan Xueyue was waiting quietly.
Seeing Dai Yixuan coming in, the master and servants immediately stood up and knelt down, including Nian, who also knelt slowly and said,
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
I came here in a low-key manner this time and did not announce anything in advance, so I will just kowtow and kneel down.
Dai Yixuan waved his hand, signaling them to stand up, and then let Guo Liangxian lead them to the main seat.
The old lady and Guo Liangxian could only sit by the side.
This was originally the prince's old place. To entertain such distinguished guests, they were no longer just the hosts, but were demonstrating the people's respect for the imperial power!
Yuan Xueyue hung her head, looking haggard. She kowtowed with them and then stood up and sat back in her seat.
Dai Yixuan glanced around and glanced at her sitting next to him.
Guo Liangxian stepped forward to offer tea, saying with a smile, "Your Highness, please enjoy the tea. This is the finest tea from Jiangnan that I have carefully selected. It may not be as good as the one you have at your residence, but please forgive me."
"..." Dai Yixuan was silent for a moment, then he looked at the teacup on the table, picked it up, and moved the lid.
“There doesn’t need to be so many people.”
Just this indifferent sentence startled Guo Liangxian.
He quickly dismissed the unnecessary servants and maids, leaving only Guo Liangxian, Nian, Yuan Xueyue, and Lady Xiao Zhao who was beside the prince in the room.
Guo Liangxian bowed and said, "Your Highness, is this okay?"
Dai Yixuan nodded and lowered his head to sip the tea.
The taste is not clear, it is strong with mixed flavors, and it is not suitable for making tea.
Dai Yixuan's brows only slightly wrinkled, and the subtle movement was caught by Guo Liangxian, who hurriedly said,
"My Lord, does this tea taste bad?"
Dai Yixuan's expression was indifferent, and his tone was slightly cold, "Normally."
Guo Liangxian was startled. He glanced at the somewhat listless Yuan Xueyue and gritted his teeth, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. This tea was brewed by my wife. Please blame me."
I said that I was not presentable enough and could only find someone of status to explain so that the prince could know the origin of the tea.
When these words were spoken, Dai Yixuan's eyes trembled.
He lowered his brows and took another sip, saying, "It tastes sweet when you savor it, not bad."
Guo Liangxian, “…”
That was close, I was scared to death!
Guo Liangxian smiled and said,
"Your Highness, I'm glad you can drink. I wonder what orders you have for me this time? I'm all ears."
