Chapter 394 Surprise
As Xuanyuan Yan spoke, he pulled Shangguan Qingyue to his side and let her sit on his lap.
He scratched her small nose lovingly and sighed softly.
"Qingqing, are you being too frugal? I'd feel bad for you."
This was not the first time that the two of them had acted so intimately, but Shangguan Qingyue still couldn't help but blush.
Surrounded by the familiar scent of silver dan grass and soapberry, Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but shrug her nose, and then asked in surprise:
"Ayan, I remember when we first met, the incense you wore seemed to be spikenard, how come you changed it to silver dan grass?"
Xuanyuan Yan rested his chin on the top of the head of the person in his arms, sniffing the refreshing fragrance and laughing softly.
"Of course it's because you like me. In this way, don't you like me a little more?"
Tsk tsk, I don't know since when, this man seemed to suddenly come to his senses, and he said all kinds of sweet words to her, and none of them were the same.
She scratched her head a little, feeling a little uncomfortable, and continued the previous topic, explaining:
“I tend to be nostalgic, and I don’t want to throw away things that are useful to me.
As for clothes, they are most comfortable when they are half-worn. The fabric is soft and comfortable and you won’t have to worry about getting dirty.
If you wear those flashy clothes all day long, you will feel a little restrained, and in the end you won’t know whether you are wearing the clothes or the clothes are wearing you.”
Xuanyuan Yan felt helpless after hearing this. It seemed that the little girl in their family had a different brain from others. She always had some weird and perverse ideas, but they seemed impossible to refute.
What else can I do? I can only spoil her.
He saw that the bag was bulging, so he asked:
"But what good things did you bring?"
The little girl in his arms suddenly jumped off his legs, opened her bright and clear eyes, and said excitedly:
"Ayan, I have prepared a surprise for you that can help you solve a long-standing problem."
As she spoke, she took out something wrapped in indigo cotton cloth from her bag and handed it to the other person.
"Open it and take a look. I guarantee you will be very satisfied after you see it!"
A pair of slender hands reached out, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, they slid behind the little girl's hands and took the cloth bag.
The soft cotton cloth was opened layer by layer, revealing a pair of thin silver-gray short boots underneath.
The little girl held her chin with both hands, stared at the other person without blinking, and said mysteriously:
"Ayan, try putting it on now."
Xuanyuan Yan hasn't noticed anything special about them yet. The boots are very simple in style, with only a small flying swallow embroidered on each shoe.
After a moment's thought, he asked:
"Did you make these boots yourself, Qingqing? The flying swallow embroidered on them is very unique. Is it a homonym of my name?"
Shangguan Qingyue immediately smiled.
"I knew that Ayan was the smartest and would definitely understand what I meant!"
Although he felt a little uncomfortable taking off his shoes in front of his young fiancée, Xuanyuan Yan still suppressed his embarrassment and put on the pair of short boots under the other's fiery gaze.
And then... I didn't seem to feel anything special.
So he simply stood up, paced back and forth in the study, and found that the bottom of the boots had increased in height.
He asked in confusion:
"Qingqing, are you not satisfied with my stature? Is that why you made short boots to increase my height?"
Shangguan Qingyue burst out laughing and explained:
"The right foot of the boot has a removable wedge insole, while the left foot has a raised lining.
This way, Ayan, you won't have to limp when you go out. When the time comes, just walk around in front of the emperor, and when he finds you and asks you about it, you can take the opportunity to explain.
It would be best if I could take this opportunity to make it known to everyone, so that I don’t have to pretend to be lame anymore.”
Although this matter is a bit troublesome to accomplish, since the little girl doesn't like him limping every day, he will just make a good plan.
So he smiled and nodded.
"Qingqing is really smart. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I will wear this pair of shoes to attend the palace banquet then."
He rubbed the little girl's head and said:
"Speaking of surprises, we two are really in sync, and I have prepared one for you as well.
But it’s somewhere else. Come with me and take a look now.”
The two walked all the way to the west yard and came to a small courtyard built specifically for cats.
At this time, there were already dozens of cats of various breeds in the yard. They were not afraid of people coming, and some even came up excitedly to act coquettishly.
These cats were picked up by Xuanyuan Yan from outside one after another. Later, many princes and ministers gave him several rare cats of the Western Regions to please him.
However, among such a large group of cats, Shangguan Qingyue spotted the white fur ball huddled in the corner at a glance.
She exclaimed in surprise, then tiptoed towards the white ball, stopping less than half a foot away from the little guy to look at it carefully.
Soon she turned around and looked at Xuanyuan Yan.
"Ayan, why does this cat look like the one in Jingyue Palace?"
Seeing the other party nod without hesitation, she covered her mouth with both hands in surprise. She couldn't help but quietly approach the cat and stretched out her hand to touch it tentatively.
She met Concubine Jing several times, and she always held the white cat in her arms. But with her experience, she could easily tell that Concubine Jing didn't like cats at all.
It can even be said that for a person like her, no one except the one who loves herself can enter her heart.
At that time, she felt that the cat was not well-behaved, but fearful. In addition, its fur was not good and it was very thin. Maybe it had to endure the abuse of its owner when no one was around.
However, although she felt distressed, she could do nothing to help. She had never even told Xuanyuan Yan about this matter, and this man had never asked, but he actually did it silently.
Seeing that the cat did not resist at all, she simply held it in her arms, walked up to Xuanyuan Yan, grabbed the little guy's front paws and moved them up and down.
"Thank you, this gift is really a surprise, I like it very much."
"As long as you like it, I asked the Queen to help me find this cat for a long time, and I finally found it a few days ago."
What he didn't say was that the cat was so hungry that it was just skin and bones and was also sick. He found a veterinarian from the zoo and it treated it for a long time, and now it has barely been able to be presented to people.
No one knows a mother better than her son. He was sure that his good mother would never leave with the cat, but he never thought it would take so long to find it.
The two found a very comfortable decorative swing in the yard and sat on it.
The cat found a comfortable position in Shangguan Qingyue's arms and gradually began to snor. Animals are actually much purer than humans, and you can tell who really likes them just by smell.
It was almost noon, but the big tree didn't block the sun at all. The two of them just leaned against each other quietly, swaying back and forth gently.
Xuanyuan Yan suddenly had an idea. He wished that the two of them had gray hair, which would prove that they had been together for a lifetime and grew old together.
But how could one life be enough? He wished he could stay with the little girl beside him for all eternity. It was really love that came from nowhere and lasted forever.
However, some people want to stay together forever, while others are like moths to a flame. They think they have found the right person, but sadly they are blind and unable to see the other person's full calculations.
The eldest daughter of the Yu family was molested in the street!
