Si Jinxing brought Qingchan and Luzhu to the gate of Lan Mansion and saw Si Jinyi pacing outside the mansion.
She asked:
"Yier, what are you doing?"
When Si Jinyi heard this, she raised her worried face, walked quickly towards Si Jinxing, and said:
"Second sister, can you...can you accompany me to Prince An's Mansion?"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing walked towards the carriage and asked in confusion:
"Why do you want to go to Prince An's Mansion?"
Si Jinyi reached out and helped her second sister onto the carriage, then followed, blushing slightly as she said:
"Two days ago, my aunt was punished by my wife, so Heng'er went to find Prince An.
My aunt heard about this today and asked me to go and thank you in person, but I...
I only prepared some simple gifts, and I wonder if Prince An would dislike them.
I...I don’t dare go alone..."
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing remembered that she had indeed seen Qi Nancheng rushing over outside the Si Mansion that day.
She reached out and looked at her forehead. She was so angry with Zhou that she had completely forgotten about Qi Nancheng.
Although, Qi Nancheng didn't help much in the end.
But since they are willing to come and help Si Jinheng, it is worth the visit.
Si Jinxing looked at the blushing cheeks of the little girl in front of her, and couldn't help but think of the palace banquet on New Year's Eve.
In the Empress Dowager's Wanfu Palace, the girl blushed when she saw Qi Nancheng.
She pursed her lips and smiled, but did not expose the little girl's thoughts, and only said:
"Where do you put the things you bought?
I'll go with you!"
When Si Jinyi heard this, her eyes lit up, she took Si Jinxing's arm and said:
"Second sister is the best!
I came to look for my second sister after I finished shopping. The things are still in those shops."
Bai Xi drove the carriage and, as Si Jinyi had said, after picking up the things he had bought, he headed straight to Prince An's Mansion!
Qi Nancheng was extremely surprised to hear that the Si sisters were coming. He even came to the gate of the mansion to greet them in person.
When he arrived, light snow was falling outside.
Through the thousands of fluttering snowflakes, he saw the woman in the red cloak standing there with a beautiful smile...
Qi Nancheng's heart warmed up, he strode forward and said:
"County Lady, please come in!"
Si Jinxing felt his burning gaze and had no choice but to pull Si Jinyi to her side and said:
"I came here today specifically to accompany my sister and Prince An to express my gratitude.
This is my younger sister, Si Jinyi."
Upon hearing this, Qi Nancheng's handsome brows wrinkled slightly.
She has actually reached the point where she can't avoid me at all?
Qi Nancheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, looking at Si Jinyi beside him and said:
"Yes, I met the fourth young lady of the Si family before."
Si Jinyi was standing very close to Prince An at this time.
Seeing him looking at her again, she quickly averted her gaze, bowed slightly and said:
“Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince An.
I have taken the liberty of coming here today to ask for help from His Highness on the eighth day of the lunar month."
Qi Nancheng heard this and waved his hand and said:
"I really wasn't of much help that day. Miss Si, there's no need to do this."
As he said this, he remembered that day in Si Mansion!
The woman looked so cool as she swung the whip in her hand with a gloomy face and whipped the servants in the house!
Other girls like to act weak and well-behaved, but she is so different.
Thinking of this, he glanced in her direction, extended his hand as a gesture of invitation, and said:
"Two ladies, please."
Si Jinyi walked beside that person and felt her heart beating very fast!
Even the heartbeat can be heard!
This was her first time visiting Prince An's Mansion, but she had no intention of appreciating the scenery in the mansion!
She just followed quietly, walking towards the palace, even thinking in her heart, walk slower, walk slower...
But, the road always has an end.
After they entered the house and sat down, a servant came in and served them tea.
Qi Nancheng glanced at Si Jinxing, then quickly looked away, smiled, and said:
"When spring comes, the County Lady Ninghe's manor should be sowing the spring wheat, right?"
Si Jinxing took a sip of the fragrant tea, put the cup down, and briefly talked to Qi Nancheng about the plans and layout of the manor.
She turned to look at Si Jinyi, who was a little shy, and said with a smile:
"Fourth sister, look, His Royal Highness Prince An never forgets about farming!
It's really as the folk legend says, he's a commoner prince!"
When Si Jinyi heard her second sister's words, she quickly raised her eyes to look at Qi Nancheng who was sitting upright in front of her, but quickly lowered her eyes again.
She suppressed the throbbing in her heart and whispered softly:
“Only by planting crops yourself can you understand the hardships faced by the people.
Hearing that the land tax among the people had been reduced again and again, the prince proposed this to the emperor.
Your Highness's move is truly a blessing for the people!"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing secretly exclaimed in her heart!
This girl is not good at speaking, but she has performed exceptionally well today!
After hearing this, Qi Nancheng looked at Si Jinyi with a smile on his face and said:
"Fourth Miss, things seem a little different from that day in the carriage?"
When Si Jinyi heard Prince An's gentle words, her cheeks instantly turned red, all the way to her ears.
After the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, the second sister went straight to the Lan Mansion and asked Prince An to send her back to the Si Mansion.
On the return carriage, no matter what Prince An asked, she would only reply with two words at most.
"Yes" or "No"...
Perhaps because he saw that she was boring, Prince An didn't say another word afterwards.
Si Jinyi thought that he had long forgotten about this matter, after all, she was just a little concubine's daughter.
Unexpectedly, he still remembered it!
Si Jinxing thought for a moment, then she remembered that Prince An had sent Si Jinyi back home!
She looked at Si Jinyi's rosy cheeks and couldn't help thinking, a single man and a single woman in the same carriage!
No wonder my little sister is so shy...
Si Jinyi lowered her head even lower, coughed lightly, and said:
"Your Highness, you are joking. What I just said was just a feeling."
Qi Nancheng did not insist and asked:
"Your aunt accepted the caning that day. Are the injuries on her body feeling better now?"
When Si Jinyi heard this, she finally raised her eyes slightly and looked at Qi Nancheng and said:
“Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.
Although Auntie's injuries are serious, fortunately, Second Sister treated her in time, so she will just need to recuperate for a few more days."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Nancheng was about to speak when he heard the servant outside the door report:
"Your Majesty, the County Lady's personal guard has something to report to the County Lady."
Si Jinxing nodded to Qi Nancheng and let Qingchan go out.
Soon, Qingchan came back and whispered a few words in her ear.
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing's eyes lit up and he asked:
"Really? She really went there again!"
