Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Welcoming Pettiness
"Xuan..."
Yao Yunmei called out his name in a softer tone. He shook his face while looking deeply at Xiu Qixuan.
"The Imperial Palace is not an easy place to deal with. It was a battlefield that would never be extinguished. Don't play around." Yao Yunmei said firmly explaining.
"I know, and I understand that very well." Xiu Qixuan raised her cloudy gaze, she again said flatly; "Yunmei jiejie. I don't want to dodge—, and I can't be like you either. The invitation to enter the palace will soon come into my hands. How is it certain to escape when my hands and body are chained?"
Xiu Qixuan's words were like needles that pierced Yao Yunmei's heart. The one-child woman recalled a similar prefix, the election of the crown princess, taking her to this place to escape as the wife of a deputy general.
"Go get married to an ordinary man, find the one you love Xuan'er." Yao Yunmei suddenly raised her voice.
Xiu Qixuan wrinkled her face, displeased. "Yunmei jiejie, don't be so naive. Is marrying a man other than the princes the only way to avoid the emperor's call?" trivial grunts.
Yao Yunmei had a little trouble making a sound again. Naturally he understood Xiu Qixuan's intention that it would wreak havoc for the Xiu Family.
It was clear that the Emperor wanted to bind the Xiu Family through Qixuan. And, Xiu Qixuan could not be like her who was swayed by feelings and chose to run away.
"Well, so now let me focus on playing with little Yuheng." Xiu Qixuan said with a wide smile outlining their burdensome feelings.
Xiu Yuheng was so calm in Xiu Qixuan's lap, he puffed both of his round cheeks and spouted water from his tiny mouth.
A few minutes passed, when Yao Yunmei with pondering eyes suddenly muttered superficially.
"As many women we can't choose. But women's lives are actually very comfortable. If you have a baby at home, you can enjoy everything your husband has built.”
Xiu Qixuan's expression became distorted after hearing her words.
"Yes, if I had the power, it would be used by my husband once we got married. And if you have a child, it will belong to my husband, not me. So, Yunmei jiejie— this wedding in your world is nothing more than a mutually beneficial business ' right?." Xiu Qixuan said sharply with her eyes that were like a piece of ice cold.
He again continued sluggishly; "But, I think we can choose to do it or not."
Yao Yunmei was slightly stunned in awe, almost at a loss for his words; "It was the fate of a person born as a noble. A payment for a comfortable life. You have to understand, Xuan'er." He looked at Xiu Qixuan with deep warm entangled eyes and his hands moved gently patting Xiu Qixuan's head buds.
**Four Days Later**...
The curtain of beads was lifted by someone, giving rise to a loud rustling sound.
Lavender incense mixed with lemon water is ignited in the room carrying a sweet and fresh aroma.
"Xiao Taoli came to greet Miss." Xiao Taoli said with both hands clenched in front of his chest, saluting.
He arrived two days ago at Xiu Residence on the call of Xiu Qixuan who asked him to quickly return. The boy, previously taking care of the interests and needs of the Fox Division members first replaced Xiu Qixuan.
Xiu Qixuan's closed eyelids slowly lifted up. The girl's head was slumped over the table.
His obsidian black eyes exuded a light charm twinkling as they were struck by the sunlight that escaped from the window slit.
Xiao Taoli noticed and did not know why he sighed then said; "The delegation from the Capital has already almost arrived. Eunuch Teng who was one of the closest Emperors came alone. He will stay until the time the closer the competition is held to directly accompany you to travel to the Capital."
An icy cold smile of Xiu Qixuan, he gave a sharp grin saying; "Aiyaa, wouldn't their ambitions look conspicuous in this way." He got up and waved, continuing. "You can come back, Taotao."
Then he turned his face, to the back of the room blocker room to call Xiao Rou; "Xiao Rou, come here! Come help me get dressed. We should greet the messenger with great fanfare, right."
Xiao Taoli had yet to leave, she looked at Xiu Qixuan uneasily. It seems like he is worried.
Xiu Qixuan realized that and walked over to pat her shoulder slowly; "Calm down, Taotao. You trust me, don't you?"
Since Xiu Qixuan was not allowed to leave the Manor, his guard was tightened by Xiu Haocun, he did not find any information regarding the circumstances that occurred from the outside. And that was where Xiao Taoli's role was needed to observe the development of the situation outside and inside.
Two hours later, at the main gate of the Xiu Family was parked a fairly expensive horse-drawn carriage showing a special background. Everyone who passed by whispered curiously.
A green-clothed middle-aged eunuch descended from within the carriage with an arrogant luster. His tightly wrinkled eyes watching around showed his pettiness.
In front of the main gate of Xiu Residence, there was only Hai Bing who welcomed his arrival in place of the superior. No one from the Xiu Family was present.
Obviously this is disrespectful. They underestimated him, this was the same as underestimating the Emperor. Didn't Xiu Haocun have enough courage to show that he wasn't happy to welcome guests.
"Welcome to Xiu's House, Eunuch Teng." Hai Bing said kindly. "Let's go, the page for you we've set up." Then allow Eunuch Teng to enter.
Eunuch Teng simply glanced at him blankly and snorted; "Yes, has the Great General lost his mind already? I carry the orders of His Majesty the Emperor. But, it got no welcome. What a rude nature this is not worth."
Hai Bing's lips twitched wryly, it felt like she was eager to punch Kasim Teng's arrogant face.
Hai Bing sighed, replying; "The bandits attacked the residents recently. General's busy taking care of internal matters." Then he continued; "Let's go, the page for you to occupy has been prepared." His one hand stretched out with a slight bow allowing Eunuch Teng to enter the residence.
Eunuch Teng automatically stepped in following some of his guards and bodyguards who had come from the Capital; "Then because the Great General was unwilling. I want to see Big Miss Xiu to let him accept the decree." He said tenaciously. "Ajudan the general, won't forbid it, will he?" He pressed on with pressure in every single word he said to Hai Bing.
Hai Bing frowned dislike by his petty play. He was confused to answer; "It looks like this—" paused.
"Guests of the Capital have come here. Of course, Xuan'er should be welcomed." Xiu Qixuan suddenly came over from beside the road corridor with a gentle smile approaching them.
"Miss?!" Hai Bing was shocked to the point of spitting blood through her wide eyes. The situation is not good. How the guards were working. Hai Bing's mind growled.
When it was facing off, Xiu Qixuan bent her waist and bowed gracefully; "Xiu Qixuan welcomed the envoy of her majesty. Please be generous for being too slow to notice your arrival." His words seemed empty but meant enough to please Eunuch Teng.
Eunuch Teng chuckled pettyly, his eyes emitting a sense of pride; "Really Big Miss is more than imagined. Miss, very lucky. I've brought the painter who was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to spread your beauty to all directions."
