Yuan Yuan glanced at him sideways and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xian patted his shoulder: "A Yuan, I've already arranged a place for you to stay, so I came here specifically to show you around."
residence?
Chi Ying, who was originally planning to leave, also stopped and turned around.
Yuan Yuan casually asked, "Where?"
The emperor touched his nose and said cautiously, "There is an unnamed palace in the palace. It is said to be haunted, so it has always been empty and no one dares to live there."
I went to see it; the palace was very large, but it was rather deserted…
Ah Yuan, would you like to go and see?
Has it been haunted?
Nobody dares to live here?
Yuan Yuan, on the contrary, became interested: "Let's go."
Jiang Xian said happily, "Then let's go take a look now! If you like it, you can give it a name!"
Later, you can renovate and decorate it according to your own preferences, and then give it a name you like!
You can move in after the new year starts.
"Mm." Yuan Yuan nodded.
Jiang Xian, with a bright and lively expression, led the way.
At the door, Chi Ying silently followed.
After walking for a while, along the long palace path, Yuan Yuan suddenly stopped and turned around: "Didn't you leave?"
Chi Ying: "..."
He almost hit someone.
Chi Ying pursed her lips: "It's on the way."
On the way?
What kind of road should we follow?
The way out of the palace isn't in this direction at all, okay?
Yuan Yuan was too lazy to expose him.
He was wearing a white fox fur coat and walked slowly along the long palace path.
Jiang Xian walked alongside him, while Chi Ying walked on his side, two steps behind him.
The palace servants followed from a distance.
After walking for about half an hour, the group finally arrived at the outside of a quiet and grand palace.
Yuan Yuan stopped and looked up.
The towering palace walls are mottled, and the paint on the ancient palace gates has peeled off, showing the marks of time everywhere.
Yuan Yuan lifted his foot and stepped through the palace gate.
Upon entering, the first thing you see is a floor tile covered with a thin layer of snow and a layer of withered grass, which looks particularly desolate.
Yuan Yuan asked calmly, "How long would it take to renovate it?"
"Huh?" Jiang Xian was stunned.
Yuan Yuan raised his hand and pointed around: "How long will it take to renovate it all over again, inside and out?"
"Three months?" Jiang Xian asked tentatively.
"So long?" Yuan Yuan frowned almost imperceptibly.
How long?
Jiang Xian counted on his fingers: "It seems like it will take a while..." Then he asked, "A month?"
“Then let’s make it a month,” Yuan Yuan replied.
The renovation will take a month, then another month to let it air out, and then there's the adding of various items. By the time we move in, it will be spring...
As Yuan Yuan was pondering what to do after spring arrived, Jiang Xian asked excitedly, "So, Yuan, you've taken a liking to this palace?"
Yuan Yuan: "..."
The new emperor is probably a bit foolish.
That's a rather slow reaction.
Jiang Xian was overjoyed, but after his joy subsided, he said seriously, "A Yuan, from now on, this will be your home!"
Think carefully about what name you want to give this palace.
Once you've chosen a name, I'll send you a large plaque..."
Jiang Xian chattered on and on, but all Yuan Yuan could hear was the howling of the cold wind.
Will this be his home from now on?
Home?
Yuan Yuan's lips curled up almost imperceptibly as he coldly said, "Let's call the palace Qianhua Palace."
"Qianhua Palace?" Jiang Xian's eyes lit up: "This name sounds particularly domineering, and it suits A Yuan perfectly!"
Then Yuan Yuan continued, "Let's call the sleeping quarters Moonflower Palace."
"This name is good too!" Jiang Xian's youthful eyes shone with joy: "The names A Yuan chooses are all excellent!"
Yuan Yuan: "..."
He said calmly, "We can choose other palace names later."
"Okay." Jiang Xian nodded.
From now on, Ayuan will be the master of Qianhua Palace!
It seems unlikely that Qianhua Palace will have another master anytime soon.
Um!
That should be true!
At least... A Yuan might not arrange for a mistress to be assigned to Qianhua Palace for the time being?
Jiang Xian's mind was filled with a jumble of random thoughts...
After choosing a palace, Yuan Yuan returned to Chaoyun Palace.
Chi Ying is leaving the capital to go back and spend the New Year with Mu Chuan.
Yuan Yuan said he wouldn't go back, but he still had someone pack some luggage and move a few jars of wine for Chi Ying to take with him.
"You really aren't going to reply?"
Chi Ying frowned, sat on the horse facing the wind, and glanced at him from the side.
“Hmm…” Yuan Yuan nodded.
Chi Ying exhaled a breath of stale air: "I'm leaving."
"Mm." Yuan Yuan nodded again.
Chi Ying kicked the horse hard in the belly: "Giddy up!"
The horse neighed, turned its hooves, and galloped wildly southward.
In the blink of an eye, the man and his horse disappeared onto the official road...
Yuan Yuan stood in the cold wind.
The cold wind brought intermittent firecracker sounds and the lingering smell of fireworks.
The festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year is getting stronger and stronger...
Because of the palace turmoil, neither the capital nor the palace was particularly lively this year.
The New Year's Eve banquet only had thirty tables.
No matter how you look at it, it's so desolate.
After the New Year, life becomes busy again.
Qianhua Palace has officially begun its renovation.
All the people from the Ministry of Works were transferred to Qianhua Palace, where they led hundreds of imperial guards to work inside and outside the palace every day.
From the roof tiles to the floor tiles, everything was replaced.
Chi Ying returned only after the entire Qianhua Palace had been completely renovated.
Upon seeing him, Yuan Yuan sensed something was wrong: "Are you very tired?"
Chi Ying pursed her thin lips, shook her head, and remained silent.
Yuan Yuan frowned as well: "Something happened?"
Chi Ying shook her head.
Yuan Yuan: "..."
He gave a cold laugh and started walking out.
Say it or don't!
If you don't want to talk, then forget it!
For a full month and a half, Chi Ying had not replied to a single letter from him!
After finally seeing him, she actually gave him the cold shoulder?
ridiculous!
Yuan Yuan, seething with anger, turned and walked out.
Suddenly, a very soft voice came from behind: "Master is gone..."
Yuan Yuan suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He stood frozen in place, and for a long time, he couldn't hear his own heartbeat.
After what seemed like an eternity, he slowly turned around and asked in a trembling voice, "What...what did you just say?"
Chi Ying's eyes were red: "Why? Why won't you come back with me to see him one last time?"
Did you know that his last glance was directed towards the door?
He's been waiting for you, for a long time!
I clearly told you that..."
Yuan Yuan: "..."
He closed his eyes with difficulty.
He should have understood the implication in Chi Ying's words long ago.
He should have realized it sooner...
But he always thought that the old man was not yet fifty years old and could still soak in his favorite wine for many more years.
Yuan Yuan's lips trembled: "I'm sorry..."
Before the words had even faded, her eyes were already red.
Chi Ying: "..."
He took a deep breath: "With my master gone, I have no home."
Yuan Yuan moved his lips.
Chi Ying continued, "A Yuan, I have nowhere to go from now on."
Yuan Yuan's eyes flickered.
Chi Ying's gaze shifted, and she looked directly at him: "Do you still need me? If you no longer need me, I think I can leave."
"Where are you going?" Yuan Yuan asked instinctively.
