Only this green, not disappointing the spring

When Shangguan Qingyue heard the news that Qingxin Academy was recruiting talents, she immediately thought of Wang Shuhua.

So on this day, she specially made Xuanyuan Yan's favorite matcha cake and served it to him with a flattering look on her face.

"Your Highness has been working hard these days. Eat some dessert to relieve your fatigue."

Xuanyuan Yan was very considerate and picked up the fork beside him and ate in small bites, enjoying it very much, while the girl opposite him put her hands on her cheeks and watched seriously.

Being stared at like this for a long time, even if he had great self-control, he couldn't stand it after a while, so he put down the things he was picking up and took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and asked:

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Hey, well, I'm just asking...

Even if you put up notices everywhere to recruit people, will Prime Minister Wang agree to send his daughter to the academy to be a female teacher? I don’t think it’s possible.”

Not only did she think that Wang Shuhua was unlikely to go to the academy, but other women who wanted to go would also face strong opposition from their families and cold stares from their neighbors.

Xuanyuan Yan did not answer directly, but said:

"Just wait and see. If there is one, there will be two. I have ordered people to look for her everywhere these days. There will always be a woman with lofty ambitions who will agree."

It turned out that when she didn't know, this person had been silently doing the most important thing. She felt a little guilty when she thought about it.

Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but look at the person opposite her a few more times, and then quickly looked away after meeting the other person's gaze.

Now the relationship between the two of them is no longer as comfortable as before. Some things are almost on the verge of being revealed but there is still a layer of window paper between the two of them. No one knows when it will be broken and who will break it.

Shangguan Qingyue had been agonizing over this for a long time, but she had never been able to find a proper solution. She felt a little tired of staying in this mansion, but there were still two months to go before the April deadline...

Xuanyuan Yan looked at the little girl's distressed and tangled expression, and his mood improved a lot. It was too painful to perform a one-man show alone, but fortunately, this girl finally began to understand.

He stood up, found a wooden box from somewhere in the study, and handed it to Shangguan Qingyue.

"If I remember correctly, Aunt Baili's birthday is in two days. This is a birthday gift for her. Please pass it on to her."

Shangguan Qingyue opened her mouth slightly in surprise, reached out to take the wooden box, opened it and saw that there was a house deed inside.

She unfolded the thin piece of paper, and when she took a closer look, she was stunned!

This turned out to be the title deed to the other half of their Shangguan Mansion. Now the owner of the title deed had changed, and her mother's name was clearly written on it!

"My mother was depressed for a long time because someone else bought the house first. I didn't expect that the person who got there first would be you, Your Highness!"

So, the other party had planned this all along? As for why he did this...

She shook her head violently, somewhat resisting to think about it further.

Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. There was something that had been puzzling her for a long time, and now she felt as if the clouds had been cleared and the light had finally come to her.

So she asked:

"Could it be that Your Highness was responsible for my second uncle's demotion?"

Xuanyuan Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect the little girl to be so smart. He didn't answer but asked:

"Why, you are unhappy?"

Shangguan Qingyue immediately waved her hands, her eyes shining like stars:

"No, no, no, it's very satisfying!"

Seeing that the other party was obviously stunned for a moment, she explained again:

"It must be that my second uncle has a problem. Your Highness is a man of integrity and justice, so he would never do such a thing to harm others."

Xuanyuan Yan was obviously very pleased with these words, and he chuckled:

"You are a good talker. Your second uncle is really a good-for-nothing. He has no ability and no moral integrity. He has done a lot of despicable things and embezzled a lot of money.

If he hadn't had to support your grandmother, he would have died long ago."

Shangguan Qingyue understood as soon as she heard it. If her second uncle was beheaded, her good grandmother might blame it on her father. She was afraid that their family would not have a comfortable life as long as the old lady died.

She suddenly realized that she owed more and more to the people in front of her, to the point where it seemed she could never pay it back.

"Your Highness, my family and I will have to return to Xiangxue Village when the weather gets warmer. Would you like to come with us?"

Xuanyuan Yan's dark eyes contained strange emotions. He stared at the little girl in front of him and did not answer for a while.

Shangguan Qingyue felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she could only explain awkwardly:

"Well, I just think that you have been too tired recently. You can go back to the village to recuperate. The people there are simple and honest, and more importantly, they will not be disturbed by worldly affairs, which is more suitable for recuperation."

She glanced at the crutches beside her and continued:

"Also, you no longer have to cover up, which will also help the recovery of your right leg."

Now she is sure that the other person's legs can be restored to their original state, and perhaps for some reason he has to continue pretending.

And pretending is an extremely tiring thing.

At least for her, not being able to be herself openly is a particularly painful thing and absolutely unbearable.

Xuanyuan Yan was about to say something when he was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.

He spat out one word impatiently: "Speak."

Qing Yi, who was always sharp and careful, immediately noticed his master's displeasure, so he said briefly:

"Master, someone from Babaozhai has come. He said that the escort agency has sent three carts of goods from Shancang County, and they want to invite Miss Qingyue to take a look."

Shangguan Qingyue jumped up from her seat immediately after hearing this. She hurried to open the door and turned back to Xuanyuan Yan and said:

"Your Highness, my grandmother must have sent me something. I'll go take a look right away!"

After saying that, without waiting for the other party to reply, she immediately trotted towards the gate.

Xuanyuan Yan glanced at Qing Yi who was standing stiffly beside him with great displeasure, snorted coldly, and said in a cold tone:

"I kept you by my side because I thought you were the best at doing things. Why are you so blind today? If it happens again, you can switch jobs with Bai Er."

Qing Yi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He had thought that he had to inform Miss Qing Yue immediately of any matter that was related to her, no matter how important it was. However, he was careless for a moment and forgot that their time alone should not be disturbed.

So he immediately knelt on the ground and apologized, "I know I was wrong, and I will never make the same mistake again!"

……

Two of the three fully loaded carriages were filled with dried chilies. Shangguan Qingyue planned to use one carriage to supply the store and the other carriage as seeds to be planted on the selected farm.

The other car was prepared by Zhao herself. After she checked it personally, she found that it was filled with food unique to the village and even two jars of wine.

The leader of the escort took out a thick letter from his bosom and handed it to Shangguan Qingyue, saying respectfully:

"Miss Shangguan, this is a letter from your family. Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission and I will take my leave now."

Looking at the dusty escorts, Shangguan Qingyue felt grateful, especially since it was not easy to transport the two large jars of wine intact.

She greeted warmly:

"You have all worked hard on the journey. It won't be too late to have dinner at my Babaozhai before leaving."

Seeing that the escort wanted to refuse, she said:

"I will have to trouble you from time to time in the future. It's just a meal, so don't be so picky. Besides, I have something else for you to deliver back to Shancang County later, and it will take time to prepare."

The leading escort was very happy after hearing this. It was equivalent to gaining a new long-term business, which was a rare good thing, so he readily agreed.

After arranging everything, Shangguan Qingyue returned to the Third Prince's Mansion again.

The cart of things that Zhao had prepared specifically for her was divided into two parts by her. One part was sent to her new home in Cuiwei Mountain, and the other part was naturally transported to the Third Prince's Palace.

As soon as she entered the mansion, she was told that Xuanyuan Yan had been staying in the study and had not come out yet. The girl walked straight to the study at a brisk pace.

As soon as she reached the door, she couldn't wait to say:

"Your Highness, my grandmother sent me some pear blossom wine that she brewed herself. How about we drink it under the moon tonight?!"

Qing Yi smiled and helped open the door of the study room. He finally felt relieved after being worried for the whole afternoon. With a lively and cheerful girl like Miss Qing Yue around, their master couldn't be lonely at all!

So, the servants in the mansion quickly got busy. They cleaned the pavilion in the courtyard, set up the table, put the charcoal basin, and prepared wine and food...

The pavilion was surrounded by warm streams and was not cold to begin with. In addition, the servants placed six charcoal basins in a row, and the cool night breeze became warm.

When everything was ready, all the servants retreated quietly, and the secret guards hiding in the dark also turned their eyes away one by one, staring only at what was happening outside the yard.

Xuanyuan Yan was in a very good mood and took out two crystal glasses to hold the wine. The moment the wine jar was opened, the light fragrance of pear blossoms wafted out.

Bai Er, who was squatting on a big tree, shrugged his nose, and muttered in a low voice:

"The master is not good at drinking. I hope he can drink a few more cups of this delicious pear blossom wine before getting drunk. Otherwise, if he misses such a good opportunity under the flowers and the moon, he will definitely regret it!"
