Chapter 225: Two Mansions Combined into One
The next day, Su Yueyao got up early and arranged all the luggage in the house except her room.
Su Yueyao came to the dining hall and Lu Yuanjin accompanied her for breakfast.
"My wife and master said that we will go to the new mansion together in an hour."
"Okay! I hope this will be the last time we move!" Su Yueyao said as she looked at the servants busying around outside the yard.
"My wife's elder brother said that the mansion is super big, with more than ten courtyards in the front yard, and there should be quite a few in the back yard. My master said that there will be more men coming into the house in the future, and my wife and I cannot live in the same courtyard in the back yard. I plan to choose a courtyard for my wife to enter with my elder brother." Lu Yuanjin said with a smile.
Before Su Yueyao could recover from the shock of living in such a huge yard, she heard that Lu Yuanjin had already started picking a house.
"You choose for yourself!"
An hour later, several loaded carriages followed behind, with several imperial guards on both sides.
"Ayao, the deputy commander was worried about safety, so he specially arranged some imperial guards to come here." Yang Qianxun explained.
"Okay! I get it, he's thoughtful!"
Su Yueyao and Yang Qianxun got on the carriage with them, and people on both sides of the street were watching.
"Which family is moving to the east of the city?"
"It looks like Lady Su. Didn't you see that there were imperial guards protecting her?"
"This Miss Su is really lucky! She moved out not long after arriving."
"She is a student of the Academy of Literature and now has an official position. She will be able to become a high-ranking official in the future."
“…” The people were talking about it.
"Is Yuanyi Mansion really that big?" Su Yueyao asked curiously.
"Yes, it is very big. If my wife doesn't want to walk when she goes out, she can ask the servants to carry the sedan chair."
"It's so big! If Your Majesty hadn't insisted on moving, I think the place we live in now is really nice." Su Yueyao said with a smile.
"If Ayao likes a place, we will come back and stay for a few days when we have time. The beddings and some clothes in the house have been left here, so we can live there anytime." Yang Qianxun said.
"No, it's troublesome to go back and forth, but I still have someone clean up there occasionally. I don't know what will happen in the future, so it's also a way out."
"I have arranged everything! There are servants left." Yang Qianxun said.
When we arrived there, we found that it was indeed very close to the imperial city, which was equivalent to a location close to the center of the east city.
Su Yueyao looked up at the plaque above, with the words "Su Mansion" in large letters, a main gate, and two small side doors on both sides.
But next to it is the eldest prince’s palace, and the gate is the same as her Su Mansion.
Are these two mansions so close to each other?
"My humble servant greets Lady Su." An eunuch appeared and said.
"Your Majesty has arranged for the renovation of the mansion. Lady Su, please."
Su Yueyao didn't expect that the eunuch sent by His Majesty had not left yet. She nodded and walked in.
The moment she opened the door, Su Yueyao was dumbfounded. These were not separate mansions. Her mansion and the eldest prince's mansion were combined into one, with a long corridor in the middle. The one on the right belonged to the eldest prince's mansion, and the one on the left belonged to her mansion. There was not even a courtyard wall in between.
There were eunuchs at regular intervals on the corridor on the eldest prince's side, but she didn't arrange any servants, so the corridor was empty.
"What does this mean, eunuch? Where is the wall in the middle of the courtyard?" Su Yueyao's voice was shaking.
"My lady, His Majesty said that the eldest prince's palace was previously separated from this mansion. Now that you are about to marry the eldest prince as your husband, you will be a family, so His Majesty has demolished the wall that separated the courtyard and renovated it." The eunuch said with a smile.
"You... Your Majesty..."
"My dear wife, this is also a good intention of His Majesty. Let's go in and take a look!" Lu Yuanyi said as he supported Su Yueyao.
The main courtyard in the front yard is very large, with a special hall for receiving guests, a dining room for eating, a study, bedroom, bathroom, etc.
There are two courtyards on the left and right of the main courtyard.
"The courtyard on the right side of the lady belongs to the eldest prince, and the lady on the left side can arrange it herself." The eunuch continued to explain.
"What you said means that the right side of this courtyard is the eldest prince's courtyard, and the left side is my courtyard, right?"
"Yes, Madam. The eldest prince's courtyard is guarded by eunuchs, and the bricks on the ground are also divided into different levels. The servants on your side will just need to familiarize themselves with it a few times."
"Your Majesty said that this way, you and the eldest prince will see each other more often and will be able to develop a better relationship."
"..."
Her idea has always been that the eldest prince is the requirement of imperial power, and she cannot resist it, so she just marries him. He lives in his prince's palace and she lives in her courtyard. The two of them do not interfere with each other and live comfortably.
Now, His Majesty has directly demolished and merged all the courtyard walls. Does this mean that the plaques at the entrance and exit are different, but the inside are the same? She will meet the eldest prince almost every day.
Oh my God! Is there any way to live from now on?
Yang Qianxun and the others looked at Su Yueyao's face, which turned blue, white, and black, and they didn't dare to say anything.
They could sense that Su Yueyao had some resistance to the eldest prince in her heart, or was even willing to avoid him if possible, but they didn't know that His Majesty's arrangement would be like this.
"I understand. You can leave now. Please thank His Majesty for the arrangement on my behalf." Su Yueyao said gritting her teeth.
"Okay, my lady. I will go back to the palace first." The eunuch ignored Su Yueyao's expression and left with a smile.
"Yuanyi, you clearly knew it yesterday. Why didn't you tell me?" Su Yueyao asked fiercely.
If she had known yesterday, she would have been mentally prepared, or might have decided not to move in. Even though she might not be able to resist, she should still try, right?
"And do you two know this too?"
Yang Qianxun and Lu Yuanjin immediately shook their heads and said, "My wife's elder brother didn't tell me."
"Ayao Yuanyi didn't say anything yesterday."
Lu Yuanyi looked at the two of them in surprise for a moment.
Lu Yuanjin felt his elder brother's gaze and immediately looked away. He didn't want to make his wife angry. "Brother, you're on your own!"
"My dear wife, when I came here yesterday, the eunuch issued an order from the emperor, asking me not to reveal it to you. Yuanyi was wrong. My dear wife, please punish me!" After saying this, Lu Yuanyi knelt down directly.
Su Yueyao did not let him get up immediately. She looked at Lu Yuanjin and Yang Qianxun again. She would definitely not believe that they didn't know.
"Yuanjin, did your elder brother really not tell you? Don't lie to me!"
"My wife's elder brother told me, but His Majesty has issued an order and we cannot disobey it. My wife, please don't be angry, okay?" Lu Yuanjin hugged Su Yueyao's thighs and cried loudly.
"Qianqian, what about you?" Su Yueyao struggled twice, but failed to free her thighs from Lu Yuanjin's hands, so she asked Yang Qian again.
"Yuanyi told us something yesterday. I had something to arrange at the time, so I didn't hear it clearly. A Yao blames me. If I had heard it clearly, I would definitely tell you." Yang Qianxun lowered his head and said pitifully.
Lu Yuanyi and Lu Yuanjin looked at Yang Qianxun at the same time. The master... is so abominable...
Lu Yuanjin even muttered: So you can say that! If he had known earlier, he would not have hugged his wife's thigh.....Afraid that he would not be able to cry today, he even smeared some ginger on his sleeves. Now his eyes are so painful from the burning...
"Yuanyi, you two get up! I really didn't expect His Majesty to be so inhumane! I'm so mad." Su Yueyao bent down and helped Lu Yuanyi up, and then saw Lu Yuanjin hugging her thighs and crying, with a twitching forehead. Shouldn't I be the one crying?
She was afraid that she and the eldest prince would really hurt each other in the future, and she couldn't let the eldest prince accidentally hurt others... Her life was too difficult.
"Yuanjin, get up! Your snot is all over my clothes."
"My wife Yuanjin couldn't help it!" Lu Yuanjin stood up slowly, his eyes red and tears streaming down his face.
"I didn't mean to be mean to you. Since His Majesty has ordered me not to know, you can't disobey him. But you can tell me quietly and unintentionally, and I won't show it, so that I can be mentally prepared!"
"Hey! Let's go! Let's go check out other places." Su Yueyao resigned herself to her fate and walked forward.
"Yuanjin, apply this on your eyes and you won't cry." Lu Yuanyi felt a headache when he saw his brother's appearance, so he handed him a bottle of medicated oil and said.
"Thank you, brother."
"Master is so smart. Please teach me next time!" Lu Yuanjin applied the medicated oil on his eyes and the stinging sensation in the blink of an eye disappeared. He caught up with Yang Qianxun and said with a smile.
"Yuanjin, you are doing well now. If you hadn't cried so miserably just now, your wife might not have forgiven us so quickly." Yang Qianxun took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to him, asking him to wipe his face.
"Really? Does that prove that my wife loves me very much?" Lu Yuanjin said while wiping his face.
"Yes, that's right. Ayao feels sorry for you." After saying that, Yang Qianxun quickly chased after Su Yueyao in front of him.
"Brother, the master has said that my wife loves me the most." Lu Yuanjin said to Lu Yuanyi with a smile.
Lu Yuanyi looked at his silly brother and felt helpless. They should have told his wife yesterday. His Majesty was afraid that his wife would not move in after knowing it. If they had told her earlier so that she could be prepared and move in, it would not be considered as disobeying His Majesty's order.
This time they hope that their wife will not feel that they do not value her. With an order from His Majesty, they can keep it a secret from their wife.
What on earth did the eldest prince do wrong that made his wife want to avoid him! I can't figure it out...
Su Yueyao walked around for another hour, and found that she had only seen half of the courtyard, so she stopped walking around and decided to visit it again when she had time! It was too big.
