Upon arriving at the market, Su Lixia peeked out boredly. Just like in the Central Plains, the people here had all eaten breakfast and were now strolling through the morning market, which was quite lively.
The city is bustling and lively, but the people living nearby live on the grasslands. They only come to the city to buy things when they need them. Otherwise, they spend their days riding horses, hunting, herding sheep and cattle, living a carefree and leisurely life.
On the way, they brushed past Yi Zexuan, who had just returned. He was still speeding along. Su Lixia saw him and stopped by the roadside to wait for him because of their carriage.
"Tsk tsk, if this were modern times, you would have gotten so many tickets by now, always so arrogant."
Yi Zexuan quickly returned to his residence and asked as soon as he entered, "Where is Yuan Ruo?"
"After seeing the prince off, he rode away on his own. If I'm not mistaken, he probably went to Young Master Lin's residence."
"I think he doesn't want to do this job anymore. He's running around all day and hasn't accomplished anything."
Uncle Li was somewhat embarrassed: "It's not that I don't want to do it anymore, perhaps I'm busy with something else. Doesn't Your Highness know?"
"What could he possibly have done? Never mind him for now. I'll settle accounts with him when he returns."
Uncle Li nodded and said, "By the way, Your Highness, Aunt Chun said that the Princess's residence has been fully renovated and is only missing furniture. She asked what kind of furniture Your Highness would like to buy for the Princess."
"That's quite fast. As for the furniture, just buy the ones from the Prince's residence. If you don't have enough money, Uncle Li, you can transfer some from the warehouse to Aunt Li yourself. Also, tell Aunt Chun to choose a room for herself and decorate it herself. From now on, Aunt Chun will be the head housekeeper of the Princess's residence."
"But…"
"I know, but the princess's residence cannot be left unattended by my people. Perhaps you two could switch places and see who is more willing to go."
"Yes, then this old servant will discuss it with Aunt Chun and see who should go."
Yi Zexuan hummed in response but didn't reply.
Upon entering the house, they found Xue Yurou already waiting.
"You are always so diligent, but it puts some pressure on me."
Xue Yurou covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Highness, please don't joke. Your Highness is always so busy and hardworking. I'm just doing what I can at home."
"It's truly admirable that you can maintain this routine every day. However, why are you dressed so formally today? Is there something you need?"
Xue Yurou was dressed in a light blue dress, the bright color making her skin look very fair. Her light makeup gave her a very comfortable feeling. She had never been so grand when she first entered the palace.
"Today, Madam Zhang is hosting a garden party at her residence, and young masters and ladies from various families will be attending. Rou'er plans to go and get to know them all so that she can better assist the Prince in the future."
Yi Zexuan nodded: "However, Zhang Meier has always been shrewish and arrogant, so don't have too much interaction with her. Just say hello."
"Yes. But I doubt Miss Zhang will even have a chance to speak with Rou'er. There are several more male guests than female guests arranged by the mansion. They've made sure to explain themselves clearly, which is a classic case of protesting too much."
"Alright, but Madam Zhang, have you also invited the princess to this event?"
Xue Yurou shook her head: "I really don't know, but if it's as Rou'er thinks, I guess Madam Zhang definitely won't invite the princess, since everyone's attention will be on the princess then."
Upon hearing this, Yi Zexuan thought for a moment and said, "That's true. Then you should go there soon. There are small gifts in the warehouse. If you want to give something as a gift, just take it directly from there."
