Chapter 305: The Prince and his Wife Visit
Chapter 305: The Prince and his Wife Visit
In early summer, the sun shines softly and the breeze blows gently, bringing a slight coolness, but this pleasant climate can also easily make people feel sleepy.
Yun Yuxi lazily lay on the comfortable lounge chair under the tree, covered with a thin blanket. She was holding a pile of account books sent by the managers from various places and was reading them attentively.
However, as time passed, my eyelids gradually became heavy, and finally I could not resist the invasion of sleepiness, so I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Banxia, who was standing by, saw that her young lady had fallen asleep, so she walked forward gently and carefully pulled the thin blanket up, making sure that it completely covered Yun Yuxi's body to prevent her from catching a cold.
Afterwards, she turned and walked towards the small kitchen, preparing to stew some nourishing soup suitable for pregnant women to replenish Yun Yuxi's nutrition.
At this moment, Chi Yan pushed Yan Wuque and slowly walked into Nuanyu Pavilion. When they stepped into the yard, they saw Yun Yuxi sleeping peacefully under the tree.
Looking at this peaceful and beautiful scene, Yan Wuque's heart was instantly filled with happiness. He couldn't help but secretly sigh, how wonderful it would be if he could stay away from the complicated disputes and entanglements in the court, just stay with his beloved family, and quietly enjoy the peace and tranquility of the years together!
Yan Wuque gently signaled Chi Yan to push the wheelchair under the tree, closer to the sleeping Yun Yuxi. After the wheelchair stopped, he gently took the account books from Yun Yuxi's hands and began to read them carefully.
Looking at the densely packed numbers and records in the account book, Yan Wuque felt distressed. He sincerely hoped that after Yun Yuxi woke up, he would no longer have to worry about such matters and could rest and recuperate to his heart's content.
All the servants serving in Nuanyu Pavilion were envious when they saw the deep affection between their masters.
But they also knew that it was not appropriate to disturb them at this moment, so they were all quietly busy with the work at hand, each doing their own part in an orderly manner.
However, the clever and well-behaved Yun Qian was quite shrewd. She quickly brought a pot of steaming hot fragrant tea and placed it on the stone table next to her for use.
Yun Yuxi felt extremely comfortable in her sleep, as if she was in a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
In the dream, she successfully gave birth to a baby boy, who looked like a replica of Yan Wuque, and was extremely cute. The family of three sat together, laughing and talking, full of warmth and joy.
Perhaps because this dream was too beautiful, Yun Yuxi laughed out loud without realizing it, and then slowly woke up.
"Yu'er, what good things did you dream about that made you wake up with a smile? It seems that things in dreams can really make you happy." Yan Wuque closed the account book, looked at Yun Yuxi with a smile, and stretched his finger to Yun Yuxi's mouth to wipe the saliva that flowed from Yun Yuxi's sleep.
Yun Yuxi was extremely embarrassed. She didn't expect Yan Wuque to wipe her saliva. She really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Just then, the butler came and said that the Third Prince and his wife came to ask for an audience with the Regent Prince and his wife. Yun Yuxi raised an eyebrow, wondering what the Third Prince was up to.
"Princess, the Third Prince said that he knows you and the Prince are in the mansion today, and he really has something important to discuss with you. He will not leave without seeing you and the Prince. The Third Prince has also pulled a carriage full of gifts and is waiting at the gate of the mansion," the butler said solemnly.
"Yu'er, in my opinion, my so-called good nephew is determined not to let us go easily today! But it doesn't matter, let's see what he is planning first, as the saying goes, 'know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.'
In my opinion, this guy probably has something to ask of you, maybe it's related to curing the disease." Yan Wuque said calmly, his tone sounded neither hurried nor slow, neither salty nor bland.
"Well...what the prince said makes sense! Recently, the business of our Sihai Restaurant has indeed been not as good as before. Look at that carriage full of gifts, it would be a pity if we don't accept them! Since someone has taken the initiative to come to our door and ask for something, why don't we seize this opportunity and make a fortune?
Haha! Butler, go and make some arrangements and ask them to wait in the hall for a while. The princess and the prince need to pack up and then go over to meet them.
Oh, by the way, remember to prepare the best tea and exquisite snacks, and don't treat His Royal Highness the Third Prince badly! "Yun Yuxi smiled particularly brightly, and there was even a hint of subtle cunning in that smile.
After hearing this, the butler secretly worried for the Third Prince and his wife, but on the surface he still responded respectfully:
"Yes, Princess, I will do it right away." After saying this, he turned and walked towards the gate of the mansion. Soon he led the Third Prince and his wife to the flower hall, and arranged everything according to the princess's instructions.
"Princess, this is a tonic soup. You didn't eat much in the morning. Drink it while it's hot. This chicken soup is ordered by the prince. You have to drink it every day. I secretly tasted it and it's delicious." Banxia brought the chicken soup and coaxed Yun Yuxi to drink it.
"Well, thank you, Your Highness. You have worked hard, Banxia. Besides, I am a little hungry. Bring it to me. I am not suffering from morning sickness anymore. I feel like the food is good. This chicken soup is really good and delicious." Yun Yuxi picked up the spoon and scooped up the chicken soup, saying as she drank it.
"Drink more. Our family has brought back a lot of native chickens raised by farmers from the farm. My mother sent me news saying that these old hens are very good and suitable for pregnant women to eat, especially for making soup. I will ask the housekeeper to order some tomorrow," Yan Wuque said lovingly.
Chi Yan winked at Banxia from the side, reminding Banxia not to disturb his master's love affair. In fact, he himself wanted to have a love affair with Banxia.
Banxia was also thinking about Chiyan, so she went back to her room, took out the purse she had been embroidering for a long time and a pair of shoes she had made, and secretly gave them to Chiyan. Chiyan was so happy that he came forward and hugged Banxia and spun around, making Banxia panic.
Yun Yuxi and Yan Wuque looked at Chi Yan who was acting funny and annoyed in front of them, and couldn't help but smile at each other, with a bit of helplessness in their smiles.
After a brief thought, the two men discussed quietly: after Yun Yuxi gave birth to the child safely, they would help the servants in the mansion to get married and facilitate their marriages so that they could also have their own happy little family.
At this time, the Third Prince in the flower hall was not so relaxed. He drank tea one cup after another, and in a blink of an eye he had already drunk a whole pot, but the hunger in his stomach became stronger and stronger, and the gurgling sound seemed to protest to him.
Unable to bear it any longer, the Third Prince had no choice but to pick up the exquisite snacks on the table and eat them heartily. However, even with his mouth full of food, he was still restless and extremely depressed.
"Oh my! Why is it so torturous to ask someone for help? I've been waiting for such a long time, but there's still no one to show up. Forget it, let's just go!" The third prince finally couldn't control his temper anymore and yelled in frustration.
Compared to the Third Prince's anxiety, Qi Yue beside him seemed much calmer. She frowned slightly and said softly:
"Don't be anxious, Your Majesty. We are here to ask for something from the Emperor's uncle and aunt, so we should wait patiently. Have you forgotten the purpose of this visit? If Your Majesty is hungry, you may want to eat more snacks to fill your stomach. By the way, housekeeper, please go get some more cakes."
Just as the housekeeper turned around and was about to leave, Yun Yuxi gently pushed Yan Wuque, who was sitting in a wheelchair, into the flower hall. Seeing this, Qi Yue hurried forward and saluted respectfully. Although the third prince was still unhappy, he reluctantly followed suit out of courtesy.
"Greetings, Uncle Royal, Aunt Royal." The Third Prince and his wife bowed in unison. Yun Yuxi did not put on airs and nodded. Then she asked the butler to prepare a table of food. After all, she was going to make a killing from others, so she had to give them some benefits, right?
"Oh, what wind brought His Royal Highness the Third Prince here today? It's been a long time since we last met. The Third Prince has become more handsome, and the Third Prince's wife has also become more delicate. How come you have time to think of your lame uncle and your aunt today? Tell me what's the matter," Yun Yuxi teased!
