After everyone stood up, the two sat down, and then Yi Zexuan said, "Now that you have met the princess, you should get to know her. The princess is different from us, so we must serve her carefully. The backyard is ready for the princess to live in."
“But the backyard is where the future princess will live, I’m afraid…” Aunt Chun said.
Upon hearing this, the young guard slapped his forehead in exasperation and said, "Aunt Chun, why can't you ever get it right when it comes to such important matters?"
Aunt Chun smiled and said, "It was my oversight. Please forgive me, Princess."
Su Lixia waved her hand and said, "It's alright, it doesn't matter where this princess lives." Su Lixia was trying to distance herself from the future princess.
Seeing this, the old woman next to her frowned, wondering if she hadn't quite grasped the situation either.
"Since we've overlooked this, let's give the princess some nice things to decorate her courtyard. I see that the princess has quite a few guards, but she's short of servants. The servants in the palace are not as good as those in the royal residence. Let's send a few over to her to use for now."
As the spy's presence drew ever closer to the main plot, Su Lixia remained constantly vigilant. Back then, Yi Zexuan was able to so easily eliminate the original owner of this body, thanks in no small part to those servants.
Su Lixia laughed and said, "This princess doesn't need to. Although this princess is mischievous, she only likes to mischievously by herself. Father has already assigned so many people to this princess, which is already quite troublesome. There's no need to fill in a few more, otherwise this princess will be very unhappy!"
The old woman smiled slightly, finally getting the hang of it.
Upon hearing this, Yi Zexuan was somewhat surprised. Su Lixia had given him the impression of being weak and letting others lead her around, yet now she had directly rejected him.
Seeing Su Lixia's insistence, it would seem suspicious to force it on her.
"In that case, Princess, please stay in the backyard with your own people. Everyone else can stay in the front yard. The front yard is not as spacious as the back yard, so we've reserved the best areas for you. We hope you'll get used to it."
In the original book, Yi Zexuan was also talking so much? He didn't say this much when he was sent as a bride for a political marriage, but now, as a hostage, he's so happy and has so much to say?
Su Lixia nodded, laughed, and said, "Alright, then let's do it this way. This princess is a little tired, may I rest first?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Zexuan looked at Uncle Li.
Uncle Li understood and stepped forward, saying, "You must be tired from the journey and should rest early. However, I think Your Highness and the Prince must be hungry after traveling all day. The kitchen has prepared some wine and dishes, why don't you have some first?"
Su Lixia rubbed her stomach and said, "That's really unfortunate. I've eaten a lot along the way and I'm not hungry at all. It's getting late, and this princess just wants to take a bath and go to sleep."
Yi Zexuan glanced at her sideways and asked, "Isn't the princess interested in our local cuisine?"
“Of course I’m interested, but as this person also said, the journey was tiring.”
Lin Ziwen sat down below, shook his head and smiled, and said, "Let's eat something, or we'll be hungry again tonight."
Hearing this, Su Lixia looked at Lin Ziwen. The second male lead had become her friend so soon, which meant one less threat!
“Hmm…” Su Lixia hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and then nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Uncle Li was a little embarrassed and looked at Yi Zexuan, saying, "Then, shall we move it to the central hall?"
Yi Zexuan stood up, gave a cold "hmm," and then left on his own.
"Let's go." Lin Ziwen stepped forward and reached out to help Su Lixia, but the old woman beat him to it.
Both of them were taken aback for a moment, and then walked side by side.
"I wonder if you've ever tasted our local delicacies when you were in the Central Plains. I imagine you'll be able to sample some of them at the Prince's Palace today."
