Chapter 162 Happiness as before
Chapter 162 Happiness as before
On this day, the sun was so warm that it made people feel comfortable all over.
Yunxi and the prince were strolling leisurely in the garden of the marquis's mansion.
Yunxi was wearing a light blue dress, and the hem of the dress swayed freely when gently lifted by the wind.
Yunxi has a fair face, which is now filled with a warm smile. Her eyes are full of satisfaction and happiness, which makes people happy just by looking at her.
The prince was wearing a black brocade robe, and the jade belt around his waist made his tall and straight figure look even more energetic.
His eyes never left Yunxi, and the tenderness in them was almost overflowing.
"Your Highness, look how beautiful the flowers in this garden are." Yunxi said as she stretched out her hand and gently touched a beautiful flower.
The prince raised his lips and said with a smile: "No matter how beautiful this flower is, it is not as beautiful as you, my lady."
After hearing this, Yunxi rolled her eyes at him coquettishly and muttered, "Your Highness always uses these words to cheer me up."
As they were talking, Xiangling came trotting over, panting, and said, "Your Majesty, Madam, the meal is ready."
The prince glanced at Xiangling, nodded, then took Yunxi's hand and said gently, "Madam, let's go to dinner."
Yunxi nodded slightly and followed the prince.
The prince took big steps, but he did not forget to slow down and wait for Yunxi.
Yunxi followed closely, with a smile on her face all the time.
As she was walking, Yunxi accidentally tripped over a stone and her body swayed.
The prince quickly supported her and asked nervously, "Madam, are you hurt?"
Yunxi smiled and shook her head: "With the prince here, how could I get hurt?"
The two of them walked towards the dining room hand in hand.
The two walked hand in hand to the dining room. The dining table was filled with exquisite dishes, and Yunxi and the prince sat opposite each other.
"Madam, try this sweet and sour carp. It's a new dish the chef has learned."
The prince picked up a piece of fish and put it into Yunxi's bowl.
Yunxi pursed her lips and smiled, and that smile was as bright and charming as a flower in spring.
She opened her red lips slightly and said, "Your Highness is so thoughtful." Then she picked up the fish with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth. After chewing it carefully, her eyes lit up and she praised, "It tastes very delicious."
After dinner, Yunxi and the prince came to the study. Yunxi walked lightly to the bookshelf, stretched out her slender fingers, picked up a book and began to read.
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes focused, and a faint smile played on the corner of her mouth.
The prince sat at the desk, frowning slightly, handling government affairs with a serious expression.
"Your Highness, please don't overwork yourself," Yunxi said softly. She put down the book in her hand, walked over to the prince, and gently placed her hand on his shoulder.
The prince put down the pen in his hand, turned his head, looked at Yunxi tenderly, and raised the corners of his mouth: "With Madam's care, I'm not tired."
In the afternoon, Yunxi and the prince went to the market together. The market was bustling with activity, and the shouts of vendors could be heard one after another.
Yunxi was as excited as a child, looking left and right, curious about everything.
"Your Highness, I want to eat the candied haws." Yunxi pointed at a vendor and said.
Her eyes sparkled with desire and her face was full of anticipation.
The prince smiled and shook his head, saying lovingly, "You little greedy cat."
Then he strode towards the vendor, bought a bunch of them and handed them to her, "Madam, eat slowly."
Yunxi took the candied haws and took a bite. The sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth. She squinted her eyes and said with satisfaction, "It's delicious."
As they walked, they came to a silk shop.
"Madam, let me choose some new fabric for you to make clothes," said the prince.
He looked at the fabrics carefully, his eyes full of love for Yunxi.
Yunxi carefully selected, picked up a piece of light pink material, tried it on her body, put it down, then picked up a lake blue one and said, "Your Highness, these are enough."
After leaving the silk shop, we met an old man performing acrobatics, sometimes throwing balls into the air, sometimes breathing fire, which attracted a crowd of onlookers.
Yunxi also came over, squeezed in the crowd, watched intently, and clapped from time to time.
The prince followed closely behind her, fearing that she would be squeezed or bumped by others.
Yunxi watched with great interest, while the prince protected her from the side.
"Your Highness, this old man's skills are truly remarkable." Yunxi's eyes widened as he stared intently at the old man performing the acrobatics, his hands clapping uncontrollably. "Look at those balls being tossed back and forth in the air, without a single mess. And the fire-breathing thing is truly breathtaking!"
The prince nodded slightly, a faint smile on his face, "Reward."
After saying that, he winked at the servant next to him.
The servant hurried forward, took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and handed it to the old man respectfully, "This is a reward from my prince."
The old man took the silver and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"
Yunxi smiled with her eyes curved, "Your Highness, you are so generous."
The prince looked at Yunxi with eyes full of doting, "As long as it can make my wife happy, this little money is nothing."
Yunxi's face was filled with a happy smile, and she took the prince's arm and said, "The prince is so good to me."
The two of them strolled around the street for a while, bought some small things, and then went home.
It was already evening when we returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
"Your Highness, today is such a happy day." Yunxi skipped beside the prince, her face as red as a ripe apple.
The prince held Yunxi's hand, his eyes as gentle as water, "As long as Madam is happy, we will do this every day from now on."
At night, Yunxi and the prince lay on the couch.
"Your Majesty, being able to accompany you in this life is my greatest happiness."
Yunxi leaned in the prince's arms, her voice as gentle as a breeze.
The prince kissed Yunxi's forehead gently, "Me too."
The days passed one by one, and the relationship between Yunxi and the prince remained as sweet as ever.
That day, Yunxi was embroidering in her room when the prince walked in.
"Madam, I came to see you." The prince said with a tired look on his face.
Yunxi put down her needlework and quickly stood up to greet him. "Why did your Highness return so early today?"
The prince smiled, took Yunxi's hand and sat down, "If you miss Madam, come back early."
Yunxi turned around, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea for the prince, and handed it to the prince with both hands, "Prince, please drink some tea."
The prince took the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said, "The tea made by Madam is still the best."
At this time, there was a noise outside.
Yunxi frowned, "What's going on?"
The prince said, "I'll go and take a look."
The prince walked out hurriedly with big strides, and his luxurious clothes swayed slightly with his movements.
When I went out to take a look, I saw that two servants were arguing with each other with red faces and thick necks.
"Shut up, all of you!" The prince frowned, his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly, like a thunderclap in the clear sky.
The two servants immediately shrank like eggplants hit by frost. With a plop, they knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, spare us, Your Majesty, spare us."
The prince folded his hands over his chest, his eyes sharp as a torch, and asked, "What's the quarrel about?"
A servant trembled with fear, not daring to raise his head, and said tremblingly: "I accidentally bumped into him, and he wouldn't let it go."
The prince snorted coldly, "It's just a small matter, and you're making such a fuss. How disgraceful!
Each of them will be fined one month's wages. Now leave." The two servants tumbled and crawled back.
After handling the matter, the prince returned to his room angrily. The vein on his forehead was still throbbing slightly. "I'm sorry to have frightened my lady."
The prince said with a guilty look on his face.
Yunxi shook her head lightly, stood up and went to meet him, reaching out to smooth the prince's frown, "It's nothing, but the servants in this mansion should be properly disciplined."
The prince held Yunxi's hand and nodded seriously, "Madam is right, I will give the order."
A few days later, the Marquis's Mansion held a banquet. Yunxi got up early and sat in front of her dressing table, carefully selecting her jewelry.
The slender fingers were fiddling with the jewelry box, and the bright eyes were looking intently at themselves in the mirror.
The maids around her were busy combing Yunxi's hair and dressing her in gorgeous clothes.
Yunxi dressed up carefully. The light pink dress made her skin look as white as snow, and the ribbon tied gently around her waist made her figure more graceful.
The pearls and jade on her head sparkled, making her face even more beautiful and charming.
Yunxi and the prince stood together at the gate to welcome the guests. The prince stood tall and straight with a proper smile on his face, while Yunxi stood slightly sideways beside the prince, her face filled with a friendly smile.
"Your Highness, Madam Marquis, congratulations." The guests said one after another.
Yunxi and the prince responded with smiles, their smiles revealing sincerity and enthusiasm.
At the banquet, the singing girls sang and danced gracefully, and the musicians played beautiful music.
Everyone was toasting each other and laughing.
"Madam, are you tired?" The prince leaned close to Yunxi's ear and asked softly.
Yunxi tilted her head slightly, looked at the prince, and said with a flickering look in her eyes, "With the prince here, I'm not tired."
After the banquet, Yunxi and the prince returned to their room.
"Are you satisfied with today's banquet?" The prince helped Yunxi sit down and asked softly.
Yunxi smiled and nodded, "Very satisfied, but a little tired."
The prince quickly helped Yunxi lie down and covered her with a quilt, "Rest quickly."
Yunxi and the prince slept in each other's arms, both with happy smiles on their faces.
