"Great Lady," Call Xiao Rou hard over to Xiu Qixuan whose face was flushed red. He thought his master was harmed and persecuted by Yao Yunmei.
Hey, Xiao Rou is wrong! because who is the person who can persecute Xiu Qixuan?
"You're okay?" Xiao Rou asked herself to glance at Yao Yunmei with a very obvious accusatory look.
Yao Yunmei frowned he did not like to be blamed. He approached his sister-in-law who was seen sticking out her tongue and fanning.
"Bai Li picked up the snow on the tree and put it in a clean design," Yao Yunmei's orders, were immediately obeyed by his companion's servant who did not ask much.
"Mrs Yao, what is that stuff for? Aren't we supposed to call the healer for the Big Miss?" Xiao Rou asked questioning Yao Yunmei's actions.
"No need, your master's mouth only burns from drinking hot tea in one gulp," Yao Yunmei said looking at Xiu Qixuan with an amused look, his sister-in-law was still focused with her hands fanning the protruding tongue.
"It just so happens that once it has entered winter and snow fell on Ping'an City, it can at least ease the heat that radiates in its mouth," Yao Yunmei continued, unable to help but giggle.
Xiu Qixuan who heard the woman's obstinacy in front of him immediately turned her head to stare intently with a hostile look.
******
"You should have given me a glass of water instead of the snow stuffed into my mouth" Oceh Xiu Qixuan was upset when she was feeling better.
"I don't think," Yao Yunmei Briefly replied still looking at Xiu Qixuan with an amused look.
"Say you want to bully me," Xiu Qixuan said still blabbering in annoyance.
"You're a very nice girl if your honest attitude and what's like this comes out" Yao Yunmei said, not lying, because he could distinguish the difference in attitude of Xiu Qixuan who pretended like before and who was as he was right now.
"Thank you but I already know, you don't need to praise me," Xiu Qixuan replied without limiting herself anymore.
"Alright, In return I will answer your previous question honestly and as is" Yao Yunmei confirmed his sitting position to explain a few things.
"Of course, you must be honest otherwise I will kick you out of this residence" Xiu Qixuan said haughtily.
Yao Yunmei chuckled slightly, and said
"There's no need to trouble yourself, I don't want to and won't get out of the Xiu Residence even if you're my enemy,"
Xiu Qixuan frowned dislikefully as Yao Yunmei looked down on him.
"I love Xiu Jierui," Yao Yunmei said straightforwardly,
Xiu Qixuan was speechless looking at Yao Yunmei questioningly, she wanted to hear and analyze Yao Yunmei's next utterance.
Yao Yunmei took out a piece of split jade and placed it on the snack table showing Xiu Qixuan.
"I was a childhood friend of Xiu Jierui, the late Madam Wen and my mother made our match at that time" Yao Yunmei continued
"Mainstream once is your story," muttered Xiu Qixuan slowly shook her head slightly,
"What are you talking about?" Yao Yunmei asked not hearing Xiu Qixuan's words clearly.
"No, go on." Answer Xiu Qixuan
"I didn't know about this matchmaking at first, but a few months ago my mother gave me this engagement jade mark" Yao Yunmei said with a bright look.
"At that time Xiu Huanran wasn't born and neither were you," Ucao Yao Yunmei looked at Xiu Qixuan who was eating a snack.
"Little Liu Jierui treated me for almost three years warmly and attentively, we played cheerfully and happily, he said, he carried me as I fell and got hurt - even my first brother never treated me that way." Clearly Yao Yunmei enthusiastically told a story.
"I loved it, asking my mother where she was when she went into Ping'an City and didn't see me again, since then I only remember her as a man I once admired,"
"As I grew older and began to understand some things, I kept looking for news and conditions - with my status as Miss Prime Minister - making it easier for me to find information about her. Five years ago when Jierui was fourteen years old - he held the status of Deputy General upon the Emperor's approval, he defended Ping'an City from the bar-bar tribe's attack, I know of it and deeply worry about it." Yao Yunmei continued with grief.
"Can you skip that part, just explain how you got married to Ping'an City?" Asked Xiu Qixuan interjected, he did not want to hear the story of romance that is full of struggle because of distance apart.
Yao Yunmei nodded in agreement as she also felt that it was unnecessary.
"My mother gave me the engagement jade a few months ago, just as the announcement of the Crown Princess' election was about to take place. My father immediately contacted the Great General, informing him that the late Madam Wen left our engagement will, the, The Great General only received the message a few weeks ago-The Father-in-law agreed to it and I then immediately set off just before the day of the Crown Princess' election," Yao Yunmei explained
"Crown Princess's Choice?" Asked Xiu Qixuan
Yao Yunmei nodded, and said
"The Crown Princess's election took place a few days ago, I haven't received any word on who's elected yet,"
"Why don't you just follow him? Rather than coming all the way to a border town marrying someone who doesn't remember that you are in this world" Xiu Qixuan asked with a heart-stopping statement.
"Do you think being Crown Princess is fun and happy?" Yao Yunmei asked curiously the opinion of her Sister-in-law, she wanted to test-if her Sister-in-law had the ambition of thirst for power like any other Noble Miss.
"No idea, but I don't think so. Since the Crown Prince will definitely have another woman, it's very unpleasant." Xiu Qixuan replied straightforwardly without thinking too much.
"But there's one thing that makes me happy to be the Crown Princess" Xiu Qixuan continued with a look.
Yao Yunmei frowned, looking on with a questioning expression.
"wealth! The Crown Princess must have many precious items and abundant gold," Xiu Qixuan chuckled at the thought of herself being overwhelmed with a myriad of riches.
Yao Yunmei was eager to drop his jaw, This girl in front of him was very candid when discussing gold and precious items.
Xiu Qixuan cleared her awkward throat as she tidied her sitting position to be upright and graceful,
"I've understood a few things now, but does Prime Minister Yao also not want you to marry into the royal family?" Asked Xiu Qixuan looking at Yao Yunmei deeply.
Yao Yunmei stammered as Xiu Qixuan asked that, this girl is smart but in some moments she can look stupid due to her own behavior.
"My father--" Yao Yunmei said was cut off as Xiu Qixuan nodded her head as if she was thinking and agreeing to her own thoughts.
"No need to explain, I understand. The Prime Minister doesn't want you to marry into the royal family because he's in a neutral court, if you marry one of the Prince-Prime Ministers can't be neutral anymore because he has to help his son-in-law," Xiu Qixuan said outlining his thoughts.
"How did you know?" Yao Yunmei asked in astonishment and was quite amazed,
"Let's guess," Xiu Qixuan replied briefly, in fact she was told a little by Xiao Rou about her father's best friend Prime Minister Yao and analyzed some new points from Yao Yunmei's remarks.
