Chapter 65 Not Going With You
The moment Song Yanshu left, it was as if an invisible shackle was released, and Murong Xuanyi's mood suddenly became clear, like a spring breeze blowing across the frozen lake.
He lived leisurely in the newly purchased mansion. In his spare time, he would walk out of the mansion and come to Yuan Ying's mansion.
The tranquility and freedom here seemed to be a safe haven for his soul, allowing him to temporarily forget the troubles of the world.
However, Yuan Ying's attitude towards him always maintained an indescribable indifference.
Faced with such indifference, Murong Xuanyi seemed unusually calm. There was always a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't care at all.
Yuxi was very stunned. She couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in her heart. She remembered that a few days after Master Yuan moved out, His Highness mentioned to her the plan to renovate Prince Jing's mansion. He moved to Lord Wei's mansion to stay.
Even if His Highness wants to repair the palace, there is no need to live in someone else's house. This decision made her very confused, because the palace has routine maintenance and repairs every year, so why make such a big fuss?
What's more, it is late autumn now and the cold winter is about to come. Wouldn't it consume a lot of manpower and material resources to carry out large-scale renovations at this time?
Yuxi thought about this question over and over again, but still couldn't solve the mystery.
She didn't know why His Highness did this, and whether there was some secret behind it that she didn't know about.
She decided to observe His Highness' every move more carefully, hoping to find some clues.
On this day, Fang Yang was summoned to the palace to pick up something. Yu Xi took his hand affectionately and asked softly, "Fang Yang, how does Nanny treat you on a daily basis?"
Although Fang Yang was surprised by the sudden warmth and concern from Nanny Yuxi, he still maintained due respect and replied, "Nanny treats me very well. If you have any request, just let me know."
A trace of worry flashed across Yuxi's eyes, and she said slowly, "It's nothing serious, but I'm worried about His Highness. I wonder how he is doing? Is everything okay at Lord Wei's residence?"
Fang Yang heard this and blurted out without thinking: "Don't worry, Ma'am. Your Highness bought the Wei Mansion under the name of Lord Wei. Everything is the same as the royal palace. Your Highness will be safe there."
When Xixi heard this, her heart was filled with astonishment, and she was so shocked that she froze in place for a moment.
Although she did not attend the palace banquet, the news that His Highness had refused to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion had spread widely in the capital.
But she didn't understand the reason. Did His Highness have a girl he liked outside? Because of his low status? His Highness was worried that the Emperor would not agree, so he secretly kept the girl outside.
If this was the case, all the doubts in her mind seemed to have a reasonable explanation.
After being shocked, she was secretly surprised. No matter what the girl outside was like, as long as His Highness liked her and they could get married, she would not have let the young lady down.
After a long time, she managed to find her voice and said, "Fang Yang, wait for me."
After that, he turned around and went to the storehouse to get some thousand-year-old ginseng and some supplements. He handed them to Fang Yang and said, "Ask the kitchen to prepare them for His Highness on time."
After a second thought, he said, "Forget it, I'll just make it myself and send someone to deliver it when the time comes."
Although Yuxi didn't know the girl's full appearance, she must be the one that His Highness loved, so His Highness had to protect her in this way to avoid the turmoil in the palace.
She must do her best to help His Highness. This matter must be kept secret and not a single word can be leaked.
Yu Xi looked at Fang Yang and said seriously, "You must not let outsiders know about His Highness purchasing a mansion."
Fang Yang stared at Nanny Yuxi's suddenly solemn and dignified face and swallowed involuntarily. Although he didn't know why Nanny's attitude changed so much, he still made a promise solemnly.
After Fang Yang left, Yuxi's eyes were slightly red, she was touched that her young lady's entrustment had finally been fulfilled, and she was also moved that His Highness had finally found true love. She silently prayed for His Highness in her heart.
From then on, Yuxi would cook a pot of nourishing soup herself every morning. She would then send her trusted servant to deliver the soup to Wei Mansion.
When Murong Xuanyi received the sudden pot of nourishing soup, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised, but he didn't think too much about it. He just thought it was the nanny's deep affection.
He carefully carried the pot of soup and walked briskly to Yuan Ying's residence, only to see Yuan Ying leisurely enjoying a simple breakfast.
Murong Xuanyi smiled with a flattering tone and said, "Xiaoying, this is the nourishing soup that I specially asked Nanny to prepare for you." After that, he personally served a bowl for Yuan Ying.
Yuan Ying glanced at him indifferently, neither reaching out to take it nor saying a word, just savoring the porridge in his bowl.
Murong Xuanyi's eyes rolled, and a plan came to his mind. He suggested, "Xiaoying, today is a day off, why don't we go horseback riding after breakfast?"
Yuan Ying's expression remained calm when he heard this, and he continued, "You can ride a horse, but I won't go with you."
Murong Xuanyi couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved when he heard this, and he asked:
"Why have you been so cold to me recently? What did I do wrong? Is it because of Song Yanshu? Do you care about him so much?"
Since Song Yanshu came last time, Yuan Ying's attitude towards Murong Xuanyi has become increasingly distant, which makes Murong Xuanyi quite dissatisfied. Does she really care about Song Yanshu so much?
What a ridiculous thing to do with Song Yanshu. She just wanted to keep her distance from him.
But Murong Xuanyi seemed not to be able to read her expression, and he kept running to her house as if nothing had happened.
Yuan Ying did not respond to Murong Xuanyi's questioning. She took a sip of the nourishing soup in her hand and was almost choked by its strange taste.
An indescribable pungent smell spread in her mouth, and she drank it all in one gulp, suppressing the discomfort.
Putting down the bowl in his hand, Yuan Ying spoke calmly but with a hint of barely perceptible expectation:
"Murong Xuanyi, you said that the white dragon horse was given to me, so I want to keep it in my house. Do you have any objection?"
She didn't want to go to the stable every time she wanted to ride a horse.
Murong Xuanyi sat aside angrily and drank a sip of soup silently.
Similarly, the unique taste instantly hit his taste buds. What a stinky thing. Due to his dignity and respect for Yuan Ying's frugality, he forced himself to drink the whole bowl of soup while resisting nausea.
In an instant, a warm current spread from the throat to the whole body.
Then, he slowly opened his lips, with a hint of compromise in his voice: "Taxue and Xunmei were originally a pair. If you are willing to raise both of them in your mansion and take care of them, I have no objection."
Just as the atmosphere between the two was delicate, the clear voice of Princess Anyang came from outside the door, interrupting the tranquility in the room:
"Fifth brother, I went to Prince Jing's mansion early in the morning to look for you, but Nanny Yuxi said that you were temporarily staying at Lord Wei's mansion. When I arrived at the Wei mansion, Jiang Chong said that you had come to Lord Yuan's mansion early in the morning. It was really hard for me to find you."
After she finished speaking, a young girl followed behind her, which made her look even more hurried.
Princess Anyang walked into the room and said to Yuan Ying with a smile on her face, "How is Lord Yuan!" Her smile was pure and innocent.
Yuan Ying said with a faint smile on his face: "You should just call me Yuan Ying."
She did not dislike Princess Anyang, who was innocent and lovely, without any arrogance of a royal noble. She was a person worth associating with.
Princess Anyang blushed upon hearing this, and she introduced softly, "Yuan Ying, this is my close friend, General Weiyuan's daughter Dong Qingqing."
Then, she turned to look at Dong Qingqing and introduced, "Qingqing, this is Mr. Yuan from the Ministry of Revenue, and my fifth brother, who you have met before."
Dong Qingqing smiled and saluted them: "Qingqing greets His Royal Highness Prince Jing and Lord Yuan."
Murong Xuanyi hummed calmly, frowned slightly, turned his gaze to Princess Anyang, and asked, "Why are you looking for me this time?"
Princess Anyang took a step forward, hugged Murong Xuanyi's arm tightly, and said coquettishly: "Fifth brother, today is a day off, I want to go horseback riding with you."
Murong Xuanyi silently pulled out his arm and said, "If Lord Yuan goes, I will go too." After saying that, he looked at Yuan Ying deeply.
Princess Anyang actually wanted to find Yuan Ying, but as an unmarried girl, she couldn't come directly to Yuan Ying.
She could only look for her fifth brother first, thinking that her fifth brother was close to Yuan Ying, and took Dong Qingqing with her to look for Murong Xuanyi. Dong Qingqing was also one of her fifth brother's admirers.
He rejected Wei Ruolan in public at the Heavenly Palace Banquet. Maybe he likes Dong Qingqing. She couldn't just watch her fifth brother die alone.
Princess Anyang looked at Yuan Ying, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. She opened her red lips and said gently, "Yuan Ying, let's go horseback riding together."
Yuan Ying had always had a special liking for horse riding, but he was embarrassed to be alone with Murong Xuanyi. Now that he had four people to accompany him, he would feel much more comfortable than with just two people, so he readily agreed without any hesitation.
Afterwards, the four of them split into two carriages, one for Murong Xuanyi and Yuan Ying, and the other for Princess Anyang and Dong Qingqing.
The two carriages drove slowly towards the vast horse farm in the suburbs. The picturesque autumn scenery along the way added a bit of joy and anticipation to the trip.
