尹倩華生辰一過,雲逸辰向皇請了假,不等皇回應,他帶着肖瑤離開京都,度假去了。
終于可以和小妻子去過二人世界了,雲逸辰棄馬鑽進車裏,和肖瑤依偎着小聲說話,偶爾透過掀起的窗簾欣賞沿途的風景。
這次雲逸辰帶肖瑤去的地方在一片山坳裏,竹籬笆圍起的小小院落裏只有一棟竹樓,和相隔百十米遠的一汪山泉。
There is a winding cobblestone path in the yard, with several small flower beds scattered along the roadside, and some unknown wild flowers are blooming.
At first glance, Xiao Yao fell in love with this place. It was quiet and peaceful. As she admired the scenery, she couldn't help but say, "When I am old and gray, it would be great if I had a place like this to retire."
Yun Yichen put his arm around her waist and promised, "Okay, I'll have this place renovated and we'll settle down here when we're old."
Really? Xiao Yao likes this place and is even more touched by his promise. It is so precious to have someone willing to grow old with her and grow old together!
He has always been a man who keeps his promises. He never makes promises easily, but he will definitely do what he promised. Xiao Yao reached out and hugged his waist back. The two of them didn't say anything else and just snuggled together quietly.
Yun Yichen hunted in the mountains during the day and fished in the river. Xiao Yao was responsible for cooking. After dinner, the two would walk around hand in hand. Xiao Yao always wanted to know where her followers lived. When she turned a corner in the woods, she found that there were rows of houses. It turned out that her maids and guards lived nearby, not far away.
"You are not allowed to bully my maids." Xiao Yao warned Tang Qianli and others. The latter smiled bitterly. Who would dare? If the maids of the prince's wife were bullied, the prince would punish them severely without waiting for the princess's order.
Xiao Anzi is the best example. In the past, when he didn't know his master's intentions, he looked down on the people of the Xiao family. Now, Xiaofu and Xiaohui are targeting him specifically and are his enemy everywhere. The prince just ignores his plight and says that he held him back in the past and deserves to be bullied now.
With the master's attitude out there, no one else dared to say a word, let alone help. Only the Crown Prince's wife would say a few words to help Xiao Anzi and warn Xiaohui and the others when she saw it. Others didn't even dare to ask!
Xiao Yao was very fond of everything here and was very interested in it. Sometimes she would pester Yun Yichen to take her to the mountains to pick mushrooms and dig bamboo shoots. When she felt like it, she would set up her easel and paint the surrounding scenery. What was different from before was that now her paintings included a tall, noble man, either wielding a sword or fishing...
She is slowly accepting herself! Yun Yichen saw all the changes in Xiao Yao. He knew that his efforts had begun to show results, and he believed that it would not be long before he could truly enter the heart of his little wife.
It wasn't clear if it was Yun Yichen's words that day, or if it was simply the environment and atmosphere that had rubbed off on her. As the couple clung to each other that night, Xiao Yao had learned to accommodate Yun Yichen and become more relaxed. This change in her delighted Yun Yichen. Whether it was their affectionate embrace by the moonlit fountain or their soul-stirring fusion in the bamboo building, it left Yun Yichen with a bone-chilling sensation he'd never experienced before...
Before they knew it, the two of them had been living outside for ten days. When someone from Kyoto came to urge them to leave, Yun Yichen actually said that they had miscalculated the date. He and his wife had only been here for three or five days, how could it be that long?
Xiao Yao silently counted the days aside. It had been eleven days since they came out. She turned around and asked Yun Yichen how many days of leave he had asked for from the emperor.
"Seven days!" Yun Yichen said righteously.
Seven days...it's already passed, okay? Xiao Yao ordered someone to pack up and turned around to tell Yun Yichen that the two of them had already lived outside for eleven days, which was long past the vacation granted by the emperor. No wonder the capital sent someone to urge them to go back. If they didn't go back soon, it would be almost two seven days.
After returning home, Yun Yichen was teased by Mu Fengwu and Kong Xuzhe for days because of this incident. Xiao Yao rested for a few days and then accompanied Yin Qianhua and Yun Ruonan to the villa to escape the summer heat. Yun Yichen reported to the Ministry of Personnel in the afternoon to work, and then went to the villa to reunite with his family in the afternoon. Sometimes he would just stay and not go back. This made the emperor furious, and he kept complaining about the ruin of the country by beauty.
Yin Qianhua is definitely a good mother-in-law. When packing her luggage to return to Beijing, she told Xiao Yao that she had sent someone to invite the Xiao family to spend the summer in the royal villa built by Xiao Jingkang and given by the emperor, in the name of the young couple. She asked her to wait there and not to go back to Beijing with them.
"Mother, you are so kind, thank you." Xiao Yao hugged Yin Qianhua and acted coquettishly. Yun Ruonan shaves her face and laughs at Xiao Yao for being useless, but she is very envious in her heart. Sometimes, mother and sister-in-law look more like real mother and daughter!
The Xiao family's lineup for this trip was particularly large. Except for Xiao Yi and his wife and a few men who needed to work who stayed in the Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion, the rest of the people came to the royal villa.
"Grandpa, grandma, mom, dad, uncle, aunt, brother, sister-in-law, come in quickly." Xiao Yao, who had been standing at the door early waiting for her family to arrive, greeted everyone enthusiastically.
Qin looked at the golden plaque with "Royal Villa" with reverence. She never thought that one day she would live in the Royal Villa. She was really blessed by her granddaughter.
Xiao Jingkang was even more emotional. When he was overseeing the construction of this place, his daughter was just a little baby, and now she's married and a grown-up. Time flies by so fast. Xiao Yao greeted everyone, ran to the old man, and helped him into the villa.
The scene in the villa was full of joy, but Yun Yichen, who was waiting for his wife at the city gate, was suffering. He was with the old man, and it would take a lot of trouble to return. "Mother, how could you come up with such an idea? What should I do now?"
After finally getting through three days, Yun Yichen had breakfast early in the morning on the fourth day and planned to go to the villa to pick someone up.
Yin Qianhua tried to persuade her son to wait, but King Jing stopped her, shaking his head. His son was already an adult, and it was up to him to make his own decisions. Yun Yichen "coincidentally" ran into Kong Xuzhe at the city gate. Could this guy have come all the way here just to wait for him? Wasn't he supposed to get him close to Xiao Jun? Wasn't there any progress at all?
Seeing Kong Xuzhe's look of "How come I meet you here, what a coincidence!" Yun Yichen didn't want to pay attention to him. Kong Xuzhe realized that his acting skills were seen through, so he had to put away his thoughts and obediently tell his purpose.
He didn't know how to face the old man yet! Now that there were more tails, Yun Yichen no longer dared to hold out too much hope for today's trip to the villa. Even if they didn't let him go, he would try to stay. He didn't believe that the old man would still hold him captive tomorrow.
When they arrived at the villa, they didn't need the servants to inform them. Yun Yichen was familiar with the route and took Kong Xuzhe to the gate of the second courtyard in no time.
The maids guarding the gate quickly stood up and saluted when they saw Yun Yichen. One of them, who thought she was very good at talking, greeted him warmly, "You are here, my lord. The princess is in the pavilion over there. I will go and inform her."
"We can go in by ourselves. You just need to tell me which pavilion she is in and who she is with."
The old woman pointed a direction to Yun Yichen and revealed that all the men in the family had gone hunting, and even several young masters had gone up the mountain.
Kong Xuzhe grumbled dissatisfiedly: "They are so free and easy, why didn't they call us!" One is the only son-in-law of the Xiao family, and the other is the future son-in-law, and they didn't even notify us. It was so unkind.
The old man and his uncles are not in the villa, so at least he won't be blocked from seeing his young wife. Yun Yichen now only wants to see Xiao Yao and go hunting, he doesn't envy her!
Before he even got close to the pavilion, he heard a nightingale-like laugh, and Kong Xuzhe was shocked. Is there any other sound in the world more beautiful than Little Ruyi's laugh? Is there?
"When will you be more steady, girl? I think you have no choice but to marry back to the Yuan family. Otherwise, no one will be willing to marry you." Yuan Yutong scolded, tapping his daughter's forehead.
Xiao Yuan defended herself, saying that she and Xiao Yao had similar personalities, and since her sister had someone to marry, she would definitely be able to get married too.
"Your sister is much better. She will definitely find a good husband." Xiao Yao comforted her sister.
"He doesn't have to be so outstanding. He should be better-tempered, more talkative, and more generous. He shouldn't be like my cousin, who always wants to tie my sister to his belt."
Yun Yichen's face darkened. This cousin was going too far. Every time she went to the palace, she would pester the little wife all day long. He had only rejected her request to sleep with her sister in the evening, and she was being framed like this. Humph! Next time, he shouldn't even let her enter the gate of Prince Jing's palace.
Kong Xuzhe squatted on the ground holding his stomach, laughing to death. Little Ruyi was so humorous. Looking at Yun Yichen's face, one could tell that he was very angry.
"You little heartless thing, isn't your cousin good to you? Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with my prince!"
Yun Yichen's eyes sparkled with a glass-like light. This was the first time he heard praise from his young wife.
At this time, another voice was heard: "The prince is indeed rare, so you must cherish him. Husband and wife should care for each other and treat each other sincerely. You can't just ask the other party to give while doing nothing yourself."
This was the voice of his mother-in-law. Knowing that she was the best to him in the entire Xiao family, it was so touching to hear what she said! Yun Yichen decided to treat his mother-in-law as his own mother from now on.
Yun Yichen and Kong Xuzhe, two grown men, couldn't just eavesdrop on other people's conversations. When they showed up, Xiao Yao was being taught how to be a wife by several elders. It was unknown whether she was listening or not, as she kept nodding her head.
"Hello grandmother, mother-in-law, aunt, and sisters-in-law." Yun Yichen greeted the Xiao family with a smile. He would ask his young wife how much she had learned from what the elders had said today.
Kong Xuzhe also wanted to address Yun Yichen like that, but he didn't dare, so he could only greet everyone in the same frustrated manner as before.
