I am Yuan Niaoniao

"Why is grandpa gone again? Where did he go, grandma?" It's been two days since I came back, but I haven't seen Yuan Wuhe. Yuan Niaoniao ate breakfast carelessly and asked Chen Xifeng with her head tilted.

Chen Xifeng said calmly, "Ever since you and Prince Chen went to control the flood and achieved great results, the emperor has frequently summoned your grandfather to the palace. Every day, he thinks of ways to keep your grandfather in the palace. Today he wants to play chess, and tomorrow he wants to discuss military tactics. In short, he wants to see your grandfather, saying that your grandfather is still strong and can handle it."

This is a warning. Yuan Niaoniao lowered her head and said nothing. She was the one who caused this trouble. However, she had not yet settled the score with him, but now he had come to my family again and made naked threats.

"Sister, don't worry. Before grandpa entered the palace, he said that he would hold up the sky if it fell." Xixi tugged at Yuan Niaoniao's sleeve. Yuan Wuhe had expected this to happen, and was sure that Yuan Niaoniao would blame herself, so he had already informed the family in advance. As a result, no one was worried, but Yuan Niaoniao felt guilty uncontrollably.

"Well, sister knows what she is doing." Yuan Niaoniao quickly put away her worried look, showed a relaxed smile, scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth.

Seeing this, everyone felt relieved and enjoyed their breakfast.

"Sister, please tell me, did you have fun on this trip? I saw Dongxue chattering non-stop and giving a passionate speech with Lingling since yesterday, and Lingling was almost crying with envy." Xixi leaned on the table with her hands supporting her face, with an envious look on her face.

"Why don't you ask Dongxue to give you a speech? I'm not as eloquent as her." Yuan Niaoniao joked.

"Miss," Dongxue blushed again. It was rare for her to go on a long trip with the young lady. The sights and experiences she had brought back must have made the servants, who had hardly ever left the capital, pester her every day after work to listen to her stories. If they didn't have to go out, they could at least hear about the outside world. This made Dongxue proud every day, like a teacher, giving a passionate speech.

"Hahahahahaha." Seeing Dongxue's face turned red, everyone laughed.

Then Yuan Niaoniao told Yuan Xixi vividly about what they had seen and heard along the way, "Sometimes we had nothing to eat when walking on the mountain roads, and we had to go fishing in the snow. We grilled the fish and sat on the ground by the creek. We lived in caves and slept on straw...................." Yuan Xixi exclaimed in surprise. "This journey was not peaceful either. There were always people who wanted to murder your sister. That night......................" He was also worried about the various incidents they encountered along the way.

"Okay, I have something to do today. You don't have to go to Jishidiang. Just practice your skills at home." Yuan Niaoniao stretched out her finger and touched the tip of Yuan Xixi's nose.

"Okay." Yuan Xixi agreed with a pursed mouth. She had to practice that boring skill again, feeling like crying but without the tears.

...................

"Dongxue, go to Jishidiang and bring Jiaxin out." Yuan Niaoniao suddenly thought of something, so she took Gong Jiaxin to Mingge. She wanted to meet Wen Zili today.

"Yes, ma'am."

The carriage stopped. Yuan Niao Niao lifted the curtain and looked around. After making sure that no one was following, she got off the carriage carefully. The Mingyue Tea House in front of her was the disguised facade of Mingge. She entered the tea house and sat in the lobby for a while. She waited for Dongxue and Gong Jiaxin to arrive before taking them to a private room on the second floor.

"Jia Xin, I called you out in a hurry today because I feel the person I'm going to meet later is related to you. I'll go in first, you wait here, and I'll call you if I need you later." Yuan Niaoniao turned around and said before entering the secret room.

"Okay, Niao Niao, you go in first." Someone related to me? Who? Could it be? Gong Jiaxin recalled with a puzzled look on her face, and suddenly she seemed to think of something.

Yuan Niao Niao pushed open the door of the secret room, entered the first one, pushed open another door, entered a long brightly lit corridor, and then turned a corner, only to see Ming Xiao already waiting. Ming Xiao led her into a spacious room, where Chen Shaoyi and Wen Zili were sitting with their backs to the door.

"Master Wen." Yuan Niaoniao walked in and called out to Wen Zili, who then turned around and looked at Yuan Niaoniao.

"Miss Yuan."

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. I didn't expect that after we parted that day, there were so many twists and turns that I finally had time to meet you today." Yuan Niao Niao sat down next to Chen Shaoyi and looked directly at Wen Zili. "I guess you have a reason to see me. You can tell me today."

"Let's not beat around the bush. Okay, Miss Yuan is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush." ​​After taking a look at Chen Shaoyi, he thought that there must be no secrets in their relationship, so she would speak so recklessly in front of him, so he slowly said, "I wonder if Miss Yuan remembers me?"

"I have never met you before, and that day was the first time we met, so I can't say I remember it." Yuan Niaoniao shook her head.

"That shouldn't be Miss Yuan. I probably remembered it wrong." Wen Zili lowered his head in annoyance. "I remember an old friend who was very similar to Miss Yuan in some ways. I should say her ideas. These novel ideas are not available in our time. It's just that we parted in a hurry at that time, and I didn't see her real face and name. I only vaguely remember her unique and wonderful ideas. Miss Yuan's plan for flood control this time is similar to what my old friend mentioned casually, so I regarded Miss Yuan as my old friend. It's rare to have such a friend with such a highly compatible soul and ideas. Zili has been looking for her in many ways, but to no avail."

The disappointment and regret in Wen Zili's eyes didn't seem to be acted out. Originally, I thought that the sudden appearance of Wen Zili might be related to Jiaxin. Now it seems that I guessed right. "Wait a moment." Yuan Niaoniao stood up and left.

After coming out of the secret room, he told Gong Jiaxin the whole story, "Are you willing to meet him?"

Gong Jiaxin shook her head: "I know who he is. It was just a short-lived relationship. Besides, my life is stable now. What's the big deal about meeting him once? Well, Niaoniao, just help me reject him." Sooner or later, she will return to her original world. It's better not to have unnecessary emotional ties. It will be sad to think about the separation from Zhaozhao in the future. She doesn't want to be sadder. Let go of emotional matters. After thinking for a while, she said: "Niaoniao, help me return this thing to him."

"Okay." Yuan Niaoniao took the thing that Gong Jiaxin handed over, which was a small night-shining pearl. She understood the relationship between the two people and guessed the reason why Gong Jiaxin refused. She felt a little sorry for them.

"Master Wen, this is for you." Yuan Niaoniao handed over the small night-shining pearl.

Wen Zili took it and saw what it meant. This was the gift he had given to Gong Jiaxin. He held the night-shining pearl tightly, his heart aching slightly. Then he raised his head and asked, "Does that mean she is also in Dadu?" As long as she is here, he will definitely meet her again and find her, as long as he does not give up.

"I can't tell you." Yuan Niaoniao shook her head. "Goodbye, Master Wen. Please take care of yourself."

"Okay, thank you Miss Yuan. Your Highness Prince Chen. I'm leaving now." Wen Zili's face was filled with a confident smile again. He wanted to stay in Dadu, and one day he would definitely meet her again. They would have no regrets if they had seen the evening stars in the same sky and felt the same evening breeze.

After Wen Zili left, Yuan Niaoniao sighed, "What a pity that people who love each other can't be together."

"Don't be a pity. If they are destined to be together, they will definitely have a future. If they are not destined to be together, there is no need to try to start a relationship that will end in separation. Isn't this good?" Chen Shaoyi comforted.

"That's right." Yuan Niaoniao thought about it and realized that it was true. She hadn't thought of it so clearly. Maybe Jiaxin had also thought of this and that's why she was so determined to reject this relationship.

On the way back, Gong Jiaxin told Yuan Niao Niao about the episode when she first came to this world and met Wen Zili by chance: "I didn't mention this to you before because I thought that in this era, correspondence is not as convenient as in my world. Some people are gone forever, so just keep it as a beautiful memory in your memory."

"Fate is such an unpredictable thing. You always say that you will leave one day. I think I will be sad when the time comes, losing such a close friend like you, but I am also happy for you because you can finally return to your real home and see your family." Yuan Niaoniao said somewhat sadly. Gong Jiaxin is her rare close friend since Tan Xinhui.

"I will miss you and Zhao Zhao too." Gong Jiaxin is always cheerful, but she can't help but feel sad when talking about this topic: "Okay, just cherish the time we have together. Let's not talk about this anymore."

"Okay." Yuan Niaoniao held Gong Jiaxin's hand tightly, and on the way back, she told her again what happened during her water control trip.

"Miss, look, who is that?" Dongxue excitedly lifted the door curtain and said to the two people who were chatting, "Isn't that the second young lady?"

So the three little heads stuck out of the car window at the same time. As expected, they saw Yuan Xixi and Nian Shiyun chatting and laughing on the roadside, which looked like a loving picture.

"Do you think Young Master Nian likes the Second Miss?" Dong Xue asked curiously.

"I guess it's a good match." Gong Jiaxin nodded affirmatively, "They look good together."

"I thought so too." Speaking of which, it seemed that Nian Shiyun often came to see Xixi. Ever since she asked him to take Xixi out to play, the two of them had been playing together often. Yuan Niaoniao also said with a gossipy look on her face, "I'll tell my mother when I get home."

When Yuan Xixi was grinning from ear to ear, she saw from afar a carriage that looked very much like her own. Then she saw three familiar faces in the window, and her smile froze instantly.

"What's wrong?" Nian Shiyun noticed the change in Yuan Xixi's expression, so he followed her gaze and was almost scared to death when he saw the three gossiping smiling faces. For a moment, he even forgot whether to say hello.

So the three gossipy faces passed by the two sturdy faces.

"Hahaha, Miss, did you see that? The expression on the young master's face was really frightened." Dongxue held her belly and laughed.

"Hahaha, yes, hahaha." Yuan Niao Niao was also laughing out of breath, completely ignoring the fact that the person she was making fun of was her own sister.

"The second young lady was also startled. It's so funny." Gong Jiaxin wiped her tears while laughing.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" the three of them laughed more and more.

Finally, it was time for dinner. Yuan Niaoniao told Bai Yue'e what happened today. She was looking at Yuan Xixi with a smile on her face. Yuan Xixi almost buried her head in the food and didn't dare to say a word. This made Bai Yue'e and Yuan Xixi laugh even more. Bai Yue'e felt a little emotional. The children grew up in the blink of an eye and were about to get married. By then, they would all be married and she would be the only one left.

After thinking about it again, I decided that if it is suitable, it would be better to decide on it earlier so that I don’t have to worry about it.

...................

The next morning, Yuan Wuhe returned with an imperial edict with a serious look on his face.

"What's wrong, Grandpa?" Seeing Yuan Wuhe's expression, Yuan Niaoniao guessed that something happened.

"The emperor has issued an edict granting the marriage. After Xixi reaches the age of 15, she will marry His Royal Highness Prince Yi as a concubine." Yuan Wuhe said solemnly. He sighed. It's not that he didn't refuse. This was a decision that he couldn't afford to refuse. If he refused, his life would be at stake, but he had no way out for the entire Yuan family.

Everyone looked solemn upon hearing this, and Yuan Xixi even fell down on the stool with a look of discomfort on her face.

"Don't worry, Xixi still has two years to go before she reaches the age of 15. We will definitely find a way in these two years." Seeing that everyone looked melancholy and heavy, Yuan Niaoniao stood up and said that she would definitely find a way and she would not let Xixi fall into this abyss. It's wishful thinking, and the plan will backfire on Xixi!

"Sister." Xixi looked at Yuan Niao Niao with hope and confidence rekindled. She believed that her sister would definitely find a way.

Yuan Niaoniao touched Yuan Xixi's head and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart. Because of her interference in this life, many changes happened and things gradually deviated from the original track. Xixi had never married in the last life, and this time it was probably because of her master and her own work on water control that all kinds of chain causes and effects were triggered.

Yuan Wuhe didn't say anything else. He picked up the bright yellow imperial edict, touched Yuan Xixi's head, and returned to the study.

"Mom is here, don't worry." Although Bai Yue'e was also upset, she had to comfort her daughter first and think of a solution.

.........

The news that Yuan Xixi was betrothed to Prince Yi as a concubine quickly spread throughout Dadu.

Most people were talking about it at the moment, some were jealous that both daughters of the Yuan family had a good home, and some sincerely wished them well. Nian Shiyun, who got the news, stood alone on the roof, looking towards the direction of the palace, feeling upset. The emperor's order is hard to disobey, is it always destined to be? The time spent with Yuan Xixi was still vivid in his mind, but how could the Nian family alone be enough to shake that big tree, and he already knew that if the Yuan family married into the Nian family, they would probably be dealt with together. That's why he had been hiding that feeling, but today, when he learned that she was going to marry someone else, he felt very sad and heartbroken. Powerlessness and helplessness filled his heart, and Nian Shiyun closed his eyes and tried not to think about it anymore.
