Chapter 410 Residence
The four Qing Yi brothers caught two pheasants and half a basket of grass carp from somewhere, and cleaned them up, waiting for their future mistress to cook them into a delicacy so they could have a share.
In order to travel light this time, apart from four guards, they did not bring any maids or servants with them. However, they brought all the eating utensils.
Shangguan Qingyue made a big pot of spicy and sour fish soup as requested by everyone.
It rained last night and many wild mushrooms appeared in the mountains. Zhu San had a lot of fun picking mushrooms in the mountains. Finally, he wrapped them in his clothes and brought them back.
Xuan Si took out a large piece of ham from somewhere and put it on the chopping board, which made Shangguan Qingyue surprised and amused.
Bai Er stood on tiptoe and patted his good brother on the shoulder, saying with a look of satisfaction:
"Fourth brother is really thoughtful. We are in for a treat today. The mushroom and ham soup that the future princess made during the last picnic was so delicious that I almost swallowed my tongue. It is really a rare delicacy!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help swallowing, his eyes were hazy, as if he was recalling the heavenly taste at that time.
Wan Linglong held a bowl of hot and sour fish soup, broke the golden pancake into small pieces and soaked them in the soup, eating with a happy look on her face, and had no energy to say a word.
After eating until he was about 70% full, he wiped his greasy mouth with a handkerchief, breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Wow..., it's so delicious!
A Yue, why don’t you open a Qibaozhai in Shancang County, so that we can eat delicious food anytime.
future……"
She suddenly stopped, her little face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly buried her face in the bowl again and pretended to eat.
Shangguan Lan guessed what she hadn't said yet, he chuckled twice, and said to his sister in a flattering way:
"My younger sister, you'd better open a Qibaozhai in Fengshi County, so that your brother can go there from time to time to have a bite.
Especially when your brother marries you a second sister-in-law in the future... Ouch!"
Before he could finish his words, Wan Linglong slapped him hard on the back, and his cheeks, which had originally only been slightly flushed, now turned red.
"Shangguan Lan, what are you talking about!"
Although they were already engaged, they hadn't gotten married yet. How could she be in front of her future sister-in-law... Ah, what sister-in-law? She was actually infected by this man!
Shangguan Qingyue smiled brightly.
"Since it is Big Brother who asks you, then I, your sister, will do as you wish."
After the meal, they followed Xuanyuan Yan to the house he mentioned.
At first, the road was almost invisible, and there were weeds and rocks all around. Shangguan Lan once suspected that the so-called house was just a wasteland.
However, after walking for about an incense stick, the road under my feet became wider and wider. A breeze blew past, and I seemed to smell the pleasant fragrance of flowers.
Soon, a large field of flowers of various colors came into view, and the refreshing fragrance filled the nose. Shangguan Qingyue suddenly exclaimed:
"Ayan, isn't this the Moon Palace Fairy that I nurtured?"
The little girl ran into the flowers, her fingertips gently stroking the roses as big as bowls. A bold butterfly flew directly into her hair, flapping its wings curiously.
Shangguan Qingyue couldn't describe her feelings at the moment in words. She just felt that her chest was swollen with something and her eyes were a little moist.
She thought silently, this was probably the feeling of happiness that was about to overflow!
This man never said nice things, but he did countless things for her silently.
She sniffed hard, raised her head to push back the tears, put on a bright smile and turned around.
"Ayan, thank you for the surprise you prepared. I like it very much!"
She excitedly used the word "very" three times in a row, and ran towards Xuanyuan Yan like a kingfisher, leaping up, with her whole body hanging on the man.
Shangguan Lan resisted the urge to pull the man down, and simply covered his eyes with his hands and sighed, as if to say, out of sight, out of mind.
When a beautiful woman throws herself into your arms, anyone who refuses is a fool.
Xuanyuan Yan held the person in his arms tightly, shook off the annoying person and walked straight into the depths of the flowers and plants.
He rested his chin on the shoulder of the little girl in his arms and whispered in her ear:
"Most of these roses were transplanted from Xiangxue Village, and only those clusters of Moon Palace Fairies were cultivated by Zhu San and sent here two months ago.
In order to prevent the roses from getting sick from insects, Zhu San has no time to bother with his poisons. I have to reward him well for making you so happy today."
Shangguan Qingyue shook her two short legs dangling in the air and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
The two of them walked along the flower path for about a cup of tea before Shangguan Qingyue finally realized that she was a little embarrassed, so she slid off Xuanyuan Yan and continued walking forward.
Suddenly she saw a light mist floating in front of her, and the temperature seemed to be higher than outside. Soon she saw the gurgling stream emitting hot steam.
There is a hot spring here!
Xuanyuan Yan held the little girl's hand and said with a smile:
“The most important reason why we chose this place to build the house was because we discovered there were hot springs here.
This way, I won’t feel too bad even if I leave the palace in the capital.”
Shangguan Qingyue's favorite place is the hot spring in the palace. Not only can she take a comfortable bath, but the spring water flowing into the courtyard also nourishes every plant and tree in the palace.
She excitedly pulled Xuanyuan Yan and walked quickly towards the hot spring, exclaiming:
“It’s so beautiful here!”
Xuanyuan Yan looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of love.
He gently stroked the top of the little girl's head and said, "As long as you like it. This will be our home from now on, you can decorate it as you like."
The two finally arrived at the place where the house was built. At this time, there was only a large open space around it, and many craftsmen were carrying large stones in groups of four to level the ground.
"Your Majesty, the house you want me to help build is not this one, right?"
Wan Linglong had arrived here without knowing when, with her eyes wide open and a look of surprise on her face. She couldn't help but roll up her sleeves, wishing she could go up and work with the craftsmen right now.
Shangguan Lan stopped the man and said with a frown, feeling a little distressed:
"Your Majesty, this place is so desolate and all the people here are men, how can you let a little girl like Linglong do hard labor in this desolate wilderness?
No, I'm worried, this won't work!"
Shangguan Qingyue disagreed. Even with the guards protecting her, she couldn't be completely at ease. Linglong was her future sister-in-law, and she couldn't afford any mistakes.
Xuanyuan Yan shook his head helplessly.
"Second brother, you are thinking too much. Miss Wan is not needed here.
When the house is almost built, please ask Miss Wan to come here to help. I will then send a few female guards with good martial arts skills to serve as maids to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
The group stayed until the sun set before going down the mountain. Wan Linglong took the opportunity to tell the leading craftsman a lot of things. After all, many things had to be prepared from the beginning, such as underground dragons and cellars.
Shangguan Qingyue spent the day feeling comfortable and happy, but something bad happened at the governor's house.
A young man came to the house with great fanfare and bluntly asked to marry Zhao Qianyan, the daughter of the Zhao family. He said that Zhao Qianyan's innocence was ruined because of him, and as a grown man, he must take responsibility to the end.
