Chapter 69 Visit
Su Mansion.
The guard at the door saw his former son-in-law whom he hadn't seen for a long time and stammered, "Thank you, sir."
Xie Cijing's lips curled up into a faint smile, and he nodded slightly, a gentleman as gentle as jade, gentle and elegant. His youthful arrogance had faded, and he had become more composed. He wore only a moon-white, cloud-patterned, double-breasted gown. "Please inform Master Su that I, Xie Cijing, would like to visit you."
He did not send a letter in advance, knowing that they would politely decline his visit to avoid suspicion, so he acted first and asked for their permission later.
The guard felt regretful in his heart, wondering why he only had one eldest daughter.
Mr. Xie is so nice.
"Xiao Xie, please wait a moment. I will go right away."
Xie Cijing's eyes silently outlined the imperial plaque of the Su Mansion, which was given by His Majesty.
He had been in and out of the Su Mansion countless times... Xie Cijing silently withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and immersed himself in his own thoughts.
Xie Mo silently looked at Xie Cijing from behind him. Why did his son have such a miserable life?
Su Qiyang does not attend the morning court every day. Our dynasty follows the principle of holding a court session every five days. Sometimes government affairs will be discussed in court depending on the mood of the emperor. Therefore, he is still at home today.
He drank the green glutinous rice porridge and listened in surprise to the news reported by the housekeeper, "Ci Jing is here?"
Mrs. Su Ye Mingyan looked at Su Qiyang with a little worry. She hadn't heard from Xie Cijing for nearly a month since the imperial decree of marriage was issued.
It's to avoid suspicion, but also because I can't bear it.
"Please invite him in quickly." Su Qiyang sighed. Could he let Xie Cijing wait at the door of Su Mansion for a long time?
The housekeeper went out to tell the guards, and the couple was talking, "What's the matter with Ci Jing coming to our house suddenly?" Ye Mingyan was a little worried, and she felt embarrassed to see him.
It was as if the Su family was trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful and looked down on him, their former and future son-in-law.
Su Qiyang pursed his lips and said, "We all know what kind of person Ci Jing is. He must have something important to tell him." He didn't think that Xie Ci Jing hadn't figured it out in the past month.
Although his daughter Zhenzhen is very lively, cute, smart, and considerate, Su Qiyang believes that Xie Cijing still values his own future and will let it go.
"Oh." Ye Mingyan looked at the man holding her hand and chose to give in.
It wasn't her fault, so why should she feel guilty?
"Uncle Su, Aunt Su." Xie Cijing bowed and saluted, still as graceful and elegant as ever, a gentleman like jade.
Ye Mingyan looked much thinner and more composed, like Xie Cijing who had been reborn. His throat seemed to be blocked by cotton and he could hardly speak.
Su Qiyang smiled, "Ci Jing is here, have you eaten yet?" He looked at the new set of bowls and chopsticks that the maid brought over and said to Xie Ci Jing, "If you don't mind, you can have some more with your Uncle Su and Aunt Su."
He was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Thank you, uncle and aunt."
Since they had watched each other grow up, Ye Mingyan didn't need to avoid suspicion and sit at a separate table.
After sitting down, he said, "I apologize for the inconvenience caused to me by coming here, Auntie."
Su Qiyang picked up a tofu skin bun for him with the serving chopsticks and said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after breakfast. This bun tastes very good, you should try it." He also picked up a crystal soup bun for Ye Mingyan.
After dinner, Xie Cijing followed Su Qiyang into the study.
What Ye Mingyan was actually thankful for at this moment was that Zhenzhen had gone to visit the imperial estate with Prince Yan yesterday.
Otherwise she would have been worried about her precious daughter.
Ye Mingyan didn't know that the three of them had met half a month ago. In order to avoid suspicion, the Su family had not inquired about Xie Cijing's news for a long time.
The layers of mountains stand tall, shrouded in clouds and mist. The bright sunshine shines on the crystal clear stream, the water ripples, the trees are green and lush in the spring, and the quiet spring scenery is infinitely beautiful.
On the flat grassy plain beside the stream, Zhuiyun ate the tender grass. Gu Heng and his companions were fishing, making a fire, and preparing rabbits in the lower river, with Baizhi and Luwu helping out.
Su Zhenzhen sat on the blanket, her hands resting on the soft grass, and she tilted her head back to look at the blue sky with white clouds.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a comfortable smile on her face, and raised the corners of her lips, "Chenchen, I have seen what it means to be awake and hold power in the world, and drunkenly lie on the lap of a beauty." Her voice was gentle and lazy, and very pleasant to hear.
His voice came from above, deep and pleasant. "Qingqing, you can only look at me, okay?" He extended his fingertips to caress her snow-white cheeks. "Chenchen is so stunning, I don't want to make you sad." She tilted her head back, leaning directly into the man's arms, her eyelids raised, looking at his handsome face, which was still photographable from this deadly angle. "Chenchen is so handsome."
Rong Jinchen hugged her, his big hand reaching into her white fox fur cloak and touching her slightly fleshy belly. His dark eyes were filled with a tender smile, "Gu Heng and the others will be ready soon. I'll roast a rabbit leg for you." He pulled her up into his arms.
Su Zhenzhen's eyes lit up slightly, her clear eyes were as charming as the starry sky, her tone was eager to try, "I'm very picky, Chenchen you better be careful. If it doesn't taste good, I'll tickle you, humph." She imitated the man and raised the corners of her lips with three parts of coldness, three parts of sarcasm and four parts of indifference, her little look was very smart.
He smiled, his eyes gentle and affectionate, "Of course." After that, he pulled her up and walked towards Gu Heng and the others.
Su Zhenzhen looked down at his slender and well-defined hands. His palms were broad and carried the hot warmth of a man's body. The rough layer of calluses on them gave her an indescribable feeling.
Her own snow-white and smooth little hands seemed to be two extremes from his, just as different as the bitter, cold and rough borderland and the prosperous and gentle capital. Her eyes moved slightly, and she gently held his big hand.
Rong Jinchen followed Su Zhenzhen's pace and did not pull her forward with big strides. Feeling her small movements in his hands, his thin lips could not help but curl up into a doting arc.
"Your Highness, Princess Princess." Gu Cheng handed the prepared roasted rabbit to Rong Jinchen.
Rong Jinchen nodded and whispered: "You should all rest and stay away from me and Qingqing." Don't get too close and get in the way.
Baizhi Luwu moved the blanket to the campfire and stood aside silently.
Gu Heng, Gu Cheng, and a group of personal guards retreated silently and stood guard around. Gu Cheng also took Zhuiyun away, and retreated with Baizhi Luwu who were standing not far away.
Su Zhenzhen looked at the bonfire where sparks were jumping, and her eyes looked up to see a man holding a cleaned hare stuck on a wooden stick with peeled bark. As Rong Jinchen kept turning it, the hare gradually became burnt and fragrant. The fat soaked the whole body of the rabbit and condensed into crystal clear oil beads, dripping onto the flames, making the aroma more vigorous and tempting.
She couldn't help but secrete some saliva, her eyes staring blankly at the roasted rabbit in the man's hand, "Chenchen, is it ready?" She had been waiting for a while.
After breakfast, Su Zhenzhen went out and rode horseback to hunt rabbits. She was hungry again.
"Qingqing, wait a moment." Rong Jinchen smiled. She looked so cute like a greedy little cat, and he wanted to feed her more.
