The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Half a month passed like this, and Qiao Xian didn't cause any trouble, but someone outside the door reported that a guest had arrived.

Li Xi went out to greet her and saw that the prime minister's wife was more graceful and elegant than before. She and several young men had also come, looking exhausted.

Several carriages were also parked outside the village.

Erlang and Sanlang were all so respectful, they crossed their arms and bowed. She nodded slightly in courtesy, but she didn't see Longqi, so her eyes dimmed slightly.

Madam Xiang smiled and said, "It has been more than half a month. I really miss you. I remembered that you said you could come to Muyan Villa to play anytime, so we all came to disturb you."

Li Xixiao smiled and said, "Madam, you are here. How can you say that you are disturbing me? I don't know how many times I have disturbed you."

After saying that, he took them into the village.

When the maids saw the distinguished guest, who was well-dressed and well-spoken, coming, they all treated him with great hospitality and did not dare to be negligent. They parked the carriage and fed the horses with good fodder.

Madam Xiang followed the others through the manor. Although it was freezing cold, she could still smell the rich fragrance in the air. It turned out that there were many plum blossoms blooming beside the rocks, with branches and twigs spreading out beautifully. Seeing the unique scenery along the way, she felt relaxed and happy. She couldn't help but say, "This place is really a Feng Shui treasure land, with clear water and trees everywhere, and beautiful scenery."

Erlang also agreed: "I think these landscapes are not entirely artificially created. For example, the clear water lakes, rocks, bamboos, stone springs... are all difficult for artificial craftsmen to replicate. I used to think that the gardens in the prime minister's mansion were beautiful, better than those in many noble houses, but now I think they are not as beautiful as natural scenery."

"Madam, thank you for your compliment." Li Xiying smiled sweetly.

Sanlang was absent-minded. Even though he saw the beautiful scenery, he was still troubled in his heart.

Li Xiying brought a few people into the hall. The maids had already laid out everything, and everyone sat down to rest for a while.

Zhenzhu and others were brewing hot tea nearby. The whole hall was filled with the faint fragrance of tea, which was warm and unrestrained. Everyone had a cup in hand, and a sip of it would leave their lips and teeth refreshed.

After sitting for a while, Li Xiying accompanied them to walk around the village and chat.

Just passing by a corridor and looking across the water, Sanlang saw a woman collecting snow on the rocks to make a snowman. Her fair and slender hands were frozen red, and when she scooped up the snow, her face looked even more charming.

It was exactly——Chu Yiyi!

Cui Sanlang was stunned. He had never felt that she was so beautiful and yet so far away. Although she was right in front of him, he could not express all the words he had to say.

Madam Xiang also followed Sanlang's gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Yiyi is here too? I saw her following the princess in Yanqi Village before, and I thought she would go home after leaving the village. I never thought she was still living in the princess's manor."

Li Xiying replied, "Her family has sent a letter, and they should be here to pick her up in the next two days."

The lady sighed to Sanlang, "Look at you, you were so reckless and didn't know how to cherish your daughter. You wasted her true love. Now the daughter of another family is still the daughter of another family, but you are from a poor family and can't marry her. If you want to keep her, I'm afraid her parents won't agree. Now I don't know what to say to you!"

Sanlang lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Chu Yiyi seemed to feel everyone's gazes. She turned around and was slightly startled. She turned around and left Xue and went back to her room.

The small snowballs gathered on the stone suddenly lost their support, fell to the ground and scattered, just as bad as Sanlang's mood at the moment.

Erlang was embarrassed for Sanlang, and then he laughed softly: "How can a thin-skinned man achieve great things? Either forget about her from now on, or try harder!"

Sanlang was stunned for a while, then he said to Li Xiying: "Can I say one more word to Yiyi?"

Li Xiying said helplessly: "I don't know if she is still willing to listen, but I can ask for you."

After all, they were all guests, and she couldn't decide anything for others.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and snow fell from time to time.

She arranged for the prime minister's wife and the two gentlemen to stay in the small building temporarily, and went to Chu Yiyi's place after getting up.

Chu Yiyi was wearing a yellow cloak and was watching the falling snow beside the rocks outside the door. Suddenly she heard Li Xiying coming and said with a smile, "Princess, look! The snow today is as big as goose feathers!"

"Indeed, this snowfall is the heaviest in recent years." As he spoke, Li Xixiao also reached out to catch it. Soon, cotton-like snow fell on his palm. On one side, it slowly melted and flowed into water, while on the other side, it continued to snow.

She frowned and said with emotion: "This thing looks cool, smooth and lovely, but when you grab it with your hands, you can feel a hint of heat in the coolness. It's quite interesting."

Chu Yiyi said in a daze, "That's true. But it will eventually turn into water. After all, it is just made of water. It is hard to collect spilled water. Once it is lost, it can never be found again. This is true for people and things. Princess, don't bother asking me on his behalf."

Li Xiying naturally understood what she meant and couldn't help but chuckle: "Even so, after all, this is a different time. I was also afraid that I would make a rash judgment if I spoke to him directly, so I came here to pick a fight and bring it up. I don't have anything to say on his behalf. I just didn't expect that you would have already given me the answer before I even explained my intention."

Chu Yiyi couldn't help but laugh: "I told him clearly before, and I have made up my mind. I will not change it now or in the future."

As the wind and snow grew stronger, the two of them went into the house together to keep warm.

Li Xi asked, "I wonder when your parents will be able to get here. I can't help but feel sad when I think you're leaving soon."

Chu Yiyi also used the tongs to stir the silver charcoal in the charcoal stove, and said helplessly: "I am reluctant to leave, and I would rather stay here with the princess for the rest of my life, but my parents will always be worried about me wherever I am. It is better to go home and serve them until the end of their lives than to write to them every day. If they want me to get married one day, I will find a temple nearby to become a nun. First, I will be close to take care of my parents, and second, I will stop them from thinking of me getting married."

Li Xiying was suddenly silent. She knew that no matter how much she said, she could not stop Chu Yiyi from having such thoughts that seemed free and easy but were actually restricting herself.

Because once someone has fallen into the abyss, looking down at it again will be terrifying, how can they realize that it is just a small ditch and they can cross it every time they see it? So in order to protect her spirit from falling apart, she chose to imprison everything about herself, whether it is body or soul, so that the world can be safe.

The two chatted for a while, and then Li Xiying returned to her room.

She went to bed early, and after having breakfast the next morning, she heard the news that Chu Yiyi's parents had arrived and were waiting outside the village.

Chu Yiyi had already packed her bag and walked up to her and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Princess, for your care all along. My parents are here, and I have to go."

Li Xi said, "They are exhausted from the journey, why not let them come in and rest for a few days before leaving?"

She was about to get up to greet him, but was persuaded by Chu Yiyi.

She said, "There's no need to rest for a few days. My parents wrote to us saying that the journey is a bit long and we need to hurry on."

Daimao, who was standing by, had already wiped away her tears silently because of the separation. She stepped forward and said, "Yes, yes, Master, you should stay for a few more days. It would be good for Madam Alang to stay here!"

Chu Yiyi chuckled, "I have always disliked you calling me Master blindly. Now that you call me Master again, I will never hear it again."
