Fairy, Please Let Me Explain - #553 - Chapter 529 Outside the courtyard gate

Although such a long time has passed, the way the three of them get along is the same as when they were in Vientiane City. Xu Yuan and Xu Xinyao were walking in front and chatting, while Ran Qingmo was hanging in the back without saying a word. He would only reply with phrases such as “oh”, “ok” and “um” when he occasionally mentioned her.

The three of them soon walked through the snow to the main courtyard. As soon as they opened the door, Xu Yuan saw Xu Changge, dressed in a celadon-colored dress, slowly placing several porcelain bowls in order. On the table, a large plate full of dumplings has been placed in the middle of the table, and there are some breakfast snacks beside it, which Xu Changge must have made himself.

Walking closer, Xu Yuan took one look and realized that Xu Changge had carefully prepared the dipping sauce for the three of them.

Xu Yuan’s dipping sauce was on the spicy side, Xu Xinyao’s was on the sour and sweet side, and Ran Qingmo, because he didn’t know her taste, mixed a vinegar dish that was just right.

Domineering but careful.

A glance at the contrast method used by scumbags.

No wonder Xu Changge was able to deceive the little Tianshi sister from the Tianshi Mansion with his bullshit temperament.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Changge glanced over. After seeing Xu Yuan’s loose clothes and his slightly damp, messy long hair, he frowned unconsciously.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, if you are disheveled, how can you behave properly?

But Xu Changge’s brows relaxed in the next moment.

have no choice.

This third brother has been this virtuous since he was a child. No matter how much he is beaten, he still goes his own way. This is probably what he will do in this life.

You can’t change, you can only adapt.

“sit.”

After uttering one word, Xu Changge sat on the main seat without even looking at Xu Yuan.

If you look at it, you’ll get angry, and you’ll easily hit someone when you’re angry, so just don’t watch it.

Xu Yuan also glanced at Xu Changge.

This guy is mentally ill, right? He had a bad face early in the morning on the first day of the new year.

But Xu Yuan was not polite. After all, it was his own home. He sat down opposite Xu Changge, then glanced back at Ran Qingmo, only to see the big ice lump staring at the seat in a daze.

Ran Qingmo was very hesitant.

The master said that when you go to other people’s homes as guests, you should be polite when you sit down.

Qingyou’s eyes kept spinning on the chair under Xu Yuan’s butt.

According to etiquette, she should sit at the bottom now, but Xu Yuan, the last seat, has already been taken.

Seeing this, Xu Xinyao stepped forward and took her hand, led her to the left seat and sat down, laughing softly:

“Sister Qingmo, we don’t pay attention to these things at home, just sit down casually.”

“oh”

Ran Qingmo responded softly, and then carefully looked at Xu Changge who was sitting in the main seat.

Compared to his treatment of the annoying third brother at home, Xu Changge’s attitude towards Ran Qingmo was gentler. He nodded to her with a cold expression, which was regarded as acquiescing to Xu Xinyao’s statement.

After everyone sat down, Xu Yuan asked softly while holding meat dumplings:

“Xu Changge, where are my father and uncle? Don’t they have breakfast together?”

Xu Changge paused what he was doing, glanced at Ran Qingmo who was still standing at the table but had not taken a seat, and then replied calmly:

“There is news from the palace that the emperor asked the chief of etiquette to start preparing the emperor’s chariot at Mao hour.”

His voice was calm, but his words contained a huge secret within the prime minister’s palace. Just like the whereabouts of national leaders in previous lives were kept top secret, there were only a few people who could receive news of the emperor’s trip in advance.

In other words,

The Prime Minister’s Mansion has a hidden secret in the palace, and he has a very high status.

Saying this to Ran Qingmo was a sign of trust in her, but it was also a test for her.

Hearing the meaning of Xu Changge’s words, Xu Yuan frowned slightly, but didn’t say anything.

This kind of thing is always inevitable.

Ordinary people’s negative remarks about their heirs and partners would seem redundant and exaggerated, but in the Prime Minister’s Palace, it is necessary.

In particular, Ran Qingmo was the only disciple of the Imperial Master.

Xu Yuan glanced at Ran Qingmo subconsciously, wanting to see her reaction, but the big ice lump showed no reaction at all.

A porcelain bowl full of dumplings was smacking there. The dumpling fillings made by Xu Changge seemed to suit her taste.

Seeing Xu Yuanwang looking over, Ran Qingmo stopped subconsciously, raised her dark and clear eyes to look at him, her fair cheeks bulging.

Chewing quickly and swallowing, Ran Qingmo asked softly:

“What’s wrong? Xu Yuan?”

At this moment, Xu Yuan felt that he was quite stupid, really.

“nothing.”

Shaking his head, Xu Yuan sighed softly, looked at Xu Changge and replied:

“We started preparing at Mao hour. The emperor’s chariot should be arriving soon.”

“Calculating, the time should be about a quarter of an hour.”

Xu Changge replied softly while eating dumplings: “It takes about an hour from the prime minister’s residence to the palace at the speed of the emperor’s chariot, and at the end of the New Year’s feast, chanting and praying to heaven will begin.”

“That’s right, as my father is the Tutor, he has to take charge of this matter.”

As he said that, the smile on Xu Yuan’s lips was a bit sad: “If I had known this, why would I come to ask my father to come out in person even though I was sick? After this incident, my father’s prestige in the court will probably be even higher. ”

Xu Changge didn’t reply to this, as he didn’t seem to want to discuss political affairs at the breakfast on New Year’s Day.

When Xu Yuan saw this, he changed the subject wisely and asked with a smile:

“By the way, don’t you need to go to the Suiyan? I remember that you also have an official status, right?”

As the eldest son of Prime Minister Dayan, Xu Changge, who was groomed as the future heir to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, naturally had an official status.

After traveling abroad and returning to Beijing, Xu Changge got fifth place in the joint examination in the 34th year of Jiajing.

This is indeed a bit worse than the second brother Xu Changan and the father’s high school champion back then, but it is actually not easy. After all, this eldest brother’s brain is basically all muscles.

After obtaining the title, Xu Changge stayed in the Imperial Academy for three years, and then he was promoted to the post of Taishi Ling, in charge of astronomy, calendar, and history compilation. He had previously killed Ji Fenghua and Ji Qingyue of the Guyuan Snake Clan. The princess was also awarded the lowest title.

According to the laws of Dayan, Xu Changge, the Taishi Ling, should actually assist the Taifu in hosting the New Year’s Feast Ceremony.

Regarding this question, Xu Changge glanced at Xu Yuan and slowly said:

“The princess and noble daughter at the annual feast are very annoying.”

“.”Xu Yuan.

The meal was finished in silence, and Xu Changge left directly without clearing the dishes.

According to the rules of the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, whoever cooks does not need to wash dishes and chopsticks.

Of course, Xu Yuan doesn’t know how to wash dishes, not even in this life, so usually this job falls on a girl like Xu Xinyao.

But today there is an extra Ran Qingmo.

After Da Bingtuozi finished eating, he took the initiative to put away the dishes.

Mistress said,

After going to Di’an City, you cannot sit still after eating at other people’s homes.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan didn’t just sit down, he stood up and started to help. It was this act of helping to wash the dishes that made him get angry several times from Xu Xinyao, a weirdo.

Just as the three of them were putting down the dishes and chopsticks, chatting and joking, and walking out of the kitchen, a melodious eunuch’s voice suddenly resounded through the sky of the Prime Minister’s Mansion:

“The Emperor has arrived——”

Li Yaoxuan arrived as scheduled.

Come in person to pay homage to the prime minister who has retired from office and come back to his post.

Xu Xinyao glanced at Xu Yuan, slightly nervous, as if she was worried that his survival would be exposed.

Ran Qingmo followed Xu Yuan expressionlessly.

Xu Yuan continued walking towards his courtyard indifferently.

The chaos formation in the inner courtyard has been activated. Even if Li Yaoxuan is a saint, it is impossible for him to explore the important areas of the inner courtyard under his father’s nose.

Moreover, it is impossible for the two old men to stay in the Prime Minister’s Mansion for too long. There is no such thing as seeing through but not telling the truth. They just visited the thatched cottage and talked about it, giving each other a step to get down.

“.”

“.”

The alleyway was long and slender, covered with snow. After coming out of the inner kitchen, the three of them walked out more than ten feet on the snow. Ran Qingmo, who had been following Xu Yuan, suddenly stopped at the entrance of the inner courtyard and stopped to look at the sky.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan stopped subconsciously and asked softly:

“What’s wrong?”

Ran Qingmo pondered for a moment and replied honestly:

“Xu Yuan, my master is here too.”

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised:

“Come with the emperor?”

Ran Qingmo shook his head:

“no.”

Saying,

She raised her slender white index finger and pointed at the courtyard door next to her, and whispered:

“He seems to be outside the door now, asking me to open the door for him.”
