Wei Ziqi was treacherous about choosing the location of the Champion's Mansion—because he knew that Xue Yan had been busy compiling the "Complete Book of Chu" recently, so he must spend all day in the Jixian Hall.

Therefore, Wei Ziqi directly chose the address of Champion Hou's Mansion on a street adjacent to Jixian Pavilion.The environment there is relatively quiet, and it is very convenient to travel to and from the Jixian Pavilion. It is also very close to the Duke of Wei's Mansion and the Imperial City, and it takes only a cup of tea to get there.

Moreover, Wei Ziqi had known Xue Yan for many years, and knew Xue Yan's various habits and preferences like the back of his hand.This champion mansion was repaired according to Xue Yan's preferences and habits plus his own.So when the repairs were completed, when Wei Ziqi brought Xue Yan to visit the house, Xue Yan took a fancy to this place at first sight.

Wei Ziqi took advantage of the opportunity and told Xue Yanming that he had prepared a room for Xue Yan.If Xue Yan is busy with work and has no time to go home to rest, you can stay with him for a few days——

There was no mention of asking Xue Yan to move out to live with him, but this move still offended the slender and sensitive nerves of Wei Guogong Xue Ji and Pingyang Princess, and the two noticed it almost immediately. Wei Ziqi's sinister intentions.

But the two of them really had no choice, who made Weiguo Duke's Mansion and Jixian Pavilion not in the same Lifang.Now Xue Yan's official duties are heavy. He not only has to compile the Da Chu military training classics, but also is responsible for sorting out agriculture, engineering, astronomy, geography, etc... all ancient books and classics except articles and strategies, and he has to find ways to command the artisans in the library. Do experiments, and then copy out the contents of the bronze bracelet bit by bit, and compile them into the "Da Chu Quanshu". Time, so that Xue Yan often has to work in the Jixian Hall until after Xu time, and sometimes almost forgets the curfew, so he can only rush home at the closed stall.Or after the door of the square is closed, please take out the pass token bestowed by His Majesty, and return home in a hurry.

Waking up early and evening every day is already so hard, not to mention normal working hours, sometimes I even forget to eat when I am so busy.

Now Wei Ziqi locates the Champion Hou's Mansion on a street adjacent to Jixian Hall.Every day in the early afternoon, if Xue Yan didn't have time to eat, Wei Ziqi ordered the servants in his family to prepare Xue Yan's favorite food and deliver it to Xue Yan in person. He watched him finish his lunch and rest for a while before allowing him to continue with his official duties.

After going to court in the evening, Wei Ziqi also ran back to Jixian Pavilion to pick up Xue Yan's house for dinner and rest.Occasionally, when Xue Yan hadn't finished handling official duties, he helped Xue Yan carry the materials back to the Champion Hou's Mansion. After the two of them had dinner, they went into the study together, one read military books, the other sorted out materials and compiled books, or the other edited books. Compiling books, one helping to sort out materials... Wei Ziqi can easily understand Xue Yan's thoughts because of his experience in his previous life, so when the two cooperate, they have a tacit understanding.

In the end, it even turned out that Xue Yan was in the Champion's Mansion. Wei Ziqi sorted out various materials and compiled books in the study specially built for him, and occasionally went to the Jixian Hall to consult and consult materials when necessary.And when Wei Ziqi returned home from court every day, he would cook all kinds of tea and fruit drinks according to Xue Yan's taste, and ordered the kitchen to prepare snacks and fruits that both of them liked, and the two stayed silently. In the study, occasionally Wei Ziqi felt that Xue Yan had been buried in the case for too long, so he took Xue Yan to the martial arts arena to dance swords for him, while Xue Yan sat on the porch and played the piano.

Pear trees, peach trees, apricot trees, and plum trees are planted around the martial arts field... so no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, there are flower petals in full bloom in all seasons.The scene of dancing swords and playing the piano under the flowers under the breeze is also deeply imprinted in the memory of Xue Yan and Wei Ziqi.

For a while, Xue Yan's taste changed suddenly, and he suddenly liked eating lotus root, lotus seeds, and lotus chicken. Wei Ziqi ordered his family's craftsmen to dig a lotus leaf-shaped pit in the back garden, and then diverted the running water from Qujiang River into the pool. A white jade lotus pavilion was built in the pool.The entire pavilion is built with white jade. The roof is chiseled by skilled craftsmen into the pattern of thousands of lotus petals. The white jade pillars supporting the pavilion are also carved with the texture of lotus leaves. The surroundings are covered with transparent glass. In the center, lotus flowers of various colors were planted from the hot spring village.

When the weather is fine, Wei Ziqi and Xue Yan go deep into the pond in their exquisitely crafted and light lotus boats, but seeing the sunlight, the water in the pool is sparkling and jumping brightly, surrounded by the best-looking plants in bloom. When the breeze blows, the slight fragrance of the lotus flower lingers around the nose.At this time, a clear and crisp eagle cry can be heard, and a few lines of white shadows fly down from the sky, but it is Wei Ziqi's best partner Hai Dongqing—General Bai with his wife Bai Niangzi who did not know where he abducted, and others. A few petite little Haidongqings landed on the side of the boat, and felt the lotus boat swaying and rippling for a while, and the pool water rippled around the lotus boat and drifted away.

Seeing him, Wei Ziqi took out the braised pork that he had prepared from the bow of the boat, inserted it with a bamboo skewer, and fed it piece by piece to General Bai and his "family members".Impatient after feeding a few pieces, he pushed the plate forward and let General Bai's family eat by themselves.

Lotus tea is still brewed in the small red clay stove at the bow, and various flower and fruit drinks that have been iced are served in the most exquisite tea sets. It can be directly fit into the lotus-shaped small dining table.On the white jade silk-wrapped agate plate on the side, there are also fresh lotus root slices and heart-removed lotus seeds. They have a lotus feast in the afternoon sun, and the whole person is drowsy from the warm sun.

At this time, Wei Ziqi took out the soft quilt that had been prepared from the stern of the boat, so the two of them moved the small lotus-shaped food table to the stern, put on the quilt and embraced each other to sleep.

This afternoon nap was extremely sweet.The two hugged each other and let the small lotus boat slowly approach the shore surrounded by koi in the pond.

Seeing this situation, the servants guarding the case did not dare to disturb him, so they had to quietly watch from a distance.It wasn't until Wei Ziqi and Xue Yan woke up naturally after sleeping with Xue Yan, and then climbed out of the lotus boat with a smile, and went back to the room to rest, that he stepped forward to take away the lotus boat and responded with his belongings.

Occasionally, Wei Guogong and his wife, Zhen Guogong and his wife, even Emperor Yong'an and his wife, the Supreme Emperor and Prince Yuewang, Lu Guogong, even Xu You, Jiang Han and others would come to visit when they returned to Beijing to report their duties.

Xue Yan entertained everyone with hot pot.Because Da Chu used the food-sharing system when eating, but Xue Yan only prepared a large copper pot when preparing the hot pot. The soup base cooked with the secret method rolled out milky white waves under the silver frost charcoal roasting, and a slice Slices of mutton as thin as cicada's wings, beef slices, fish balls, shrimp balls and other ingredients are put into the bottom of the pot, and you can eat it after rinsing.It is both intimate and sweet, and it is much more lively than the food-sharing system where everyone holds a case. Later, Xue Yan ordered the craftsman at home to build a big round table, and in less formal occasions to receive friends of the same age, he urged everyone to eat. Gather together to eat, pushing cups and changing cups lively.Gradually, this lively way of eating spread to the outside world, arousing the pursuit of troublemakers in Chang'an City.Later, Yiying Restaurant and Teahouse used this method to replace the tables and chairs of the food sharing system, etc. Xue Yan did not expect that his own whim could also cause such a trend.

The days passed by in such a quiet and flowing manner.Wei Ziqi and Xue Yan have been together for a day, a month and a year, and neither of them mentioned the matter of marriage.However, the news that the son of the Duke of Wei and the son of the Duke of Zhen were together slowly spread, and became the most well-known "secret" among the officials of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City. The matchmakers in the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion and the Wei Guo Gong Mansion also disappeared.Everyone seems to know that although the two families of the Duke of Zhen Guo and the Duke of Wei are married in public, the eldest sons of the two families have actually gone together. They have known each other for several years, and they are still very close to each other even now. Honey treats each other like guests, and has no intention of parting at all.

And a few years have passed, seeing that Wei Ziqi and Xue Yan get along more and more harmoniously, freely and comfortably, even after occasional disputes and quarrels, they can quickly reconcile... Such a plain but lingering and meaningful state of getting along also makes Wei Guogong The couple and Mr. and Mrs. Zhen Guo understood it thoroughly.Knowing what the two parents expected, they thought that the two children just wanted to be together on a whim. After a few years, they would get tired of this relationship.

But seeing the two children so peaceful and peaceful, the parents of the two parents sighed and began to plan the funeral for the two children.For example, Xue Ji, Duke of the State of Wei, and Princess Pingyang, have planned which grandson should be adopted under Xue Yan's name after Xue Hong grows up, marries a wife and has children.The same is generally true of Zhen Guogong and his wife.

Even those who lived in Xingqing Palace for the past two years ignored the relationship between Wei Ziqi and Xue Yan as the Supreme Emperor who didn't know about it, and Emperor Yong'an and Empress Wei who had never been very optimistic about Wei Ziqi and Xue Yan being together for a long time. From time to time, they asked about their plans for children.

Wei Ziqi and Xue Yan knew that these elders who had various attitudes and didn't think that they were really together - or didn't want to see them together, finally accepted the fact that they were together from the bottom of their hearts .

As the so-called subtle influence, water drops through stone, in fact, neither Wei Ziqi nor Xue Yan hope that the fact that two people are together will bring harm to the elders of both parties.So over the years, even though Wei Ziqi and Xue Yan have been together, no matter how sloppy they are in private, they are still very low-key in front of people, and they almost never show their affection in front of their parents.It is also hoped that through these actions, the gap between the parents of both parties will be resolved, and their uncomfortable emotions will be reduced as much as possible.

So when they learned of the kindness of Zhen Guogong and Wei Guogong, they were very moved and relieved.However, after the two discussed, they finally declined the idea of ​​adoptive heirs.
