"Of course," Su Lixia said confidently.
“I have seen how you were when you were in the Central Plains. Now that you are here, I hope you can restrain yourself.”
Su Lixia felt a little embarrassed. Was she like that before? Probably just like in the book.
"But I didn't do anything too outrageous."
Yi Zexuan looked up at her: "You're becoming more and more carefree, more and more like your old self, staying out all night, running around everywhere, and lying."
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia's lips twitched, and she questioned, "Me? A habitual liar?"
"To lie to them and say that you have come to my residence is to lie."
“I was just worried they would be concerned. I didn’t mean to deceive them. And I didn’t run around. I’m an adult, I have my own thoughts. What you’re saying is wrong.”
Yi Zexuan narrowed his eyes, glanced at her sideways, and said, "In short, just tone it down and don't act like you did before."
"Okay," Su Lixia replied dismissively.
After saying that, Yi Zexuan went back.
Su Lixia rolled her eyes at his retreating figure and muttered under her breath, "Anyway, you better tone it down, tsk."
Then he took a quilt from the cupboard and spread it on the tatami mat.
"This person is always so nosy, it's really annoying," Su Lixia complained, looking at the ceiling.
After venting her frustrations, Su Lixia patted her blanket and went to sleep.
Little did she know that her complaints were overheard by the people at the door.
That's Yi Zexuan, the guy who always climbs onto people's rooftops...
Yi Zexuan suddenly felt a little insecure. Did he really meddle in his business all the time?
With these doubts in mind, Yi Zexuan returned to his study.
Not long after, the roster for the Autumn Hunt was finalized.
Although the Empress was confined to her quarters, she was still the Empress, so she was on the list this time.
She had made some preparations beforehand, and had people start preparing for this trip, even before the journey itself.
Before this, Su Lixia went to the horse farm almost every day. She and Xiaolian learned to ride horses during this period, and this autumn hunt will come in handy.
Iron Ox happened to be among the entourage, as he had provided many horses and was a wealthy merchant. Therefore, he and several other wealthy merchants were also present at this autumn hunt.
Embarrassingly, Su Lixia was unaware that he was among them.
Lin Ziwen had said he wouldn't be attending this autumn hunt, so he left after the tents were set up, leaving his mark on the frontier.
Upon arriving at the hunting grounds, the palace maids and eunuchs led these nobles to their respective residences, which were arranged in a specific way, with each residence located in a particular place and belonging to a particular person.
Su Lixia glanced at Yi Zexuan's residence right in front of her and couldn't help but curl her lip in slight disdain.
Yi Zexuan saw Su Lixia's expression and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
Yi Zexuan had the servants pack up his things, and then he went to Su Lixia's place.
Inside the main tent, Su Lixia was tidying up the room with the servants.
Upon seeing him enter, everyone bowed. Su Lixia was taken aback, turned her head to look, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?" After she finished speaking, the servants withdrew on their own.
"Just checking to see if you're still comfortable here."
"It's alright, I'm not staying here for long anyway."
Yi Zexuan nodded and said, "When the banquet starts in a little while, remember to change your clothes quickly and then have a servant take you to the banquet."
"Okay, I know, but there's no rush right now."
"Look at you, girls are always slow at getting ready, aren't they?"
"Speaking of girls, where does Miss Xue live? I haven't seen her with you."
"She's naturally at home, how could she be here?"
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia became even more confused. In the original story, both the female lead and the male lead were present. After the original owner of this body tripped her up, didn't they plot how to get rid of her?
"That shouldn't be the case. If she's someone you like, shouldn't you have brought her along to an occasion like this? Why is she at your residence? You're not lying to me, are you?"
"What person do I have in mind that I like?"
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia couldn't help but chuckle and said, "That's what everyone in the manor is saying. Otherwise, why would she suddenly kneel down and say that she wouldn't compete with me for the position of princess? If you don't like her, given her status, why would you marry her?"
Are you saying she has a low social status?
Su Lixia quickly waved her hand and explained, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that people above the nobility should marry someone of equal social standing. I heard that you picked her up, and I don't know her true status. Anyway, she doesn't seem very high right now, but since you're going to marry her, you must like her at least a little, right?"
