After returning to the palace, Shangguan Yi has been busy with government affairs. Xiaoru has been staying with Shangguan Jing to take care of his injuries. Therefore, the two rarely meet.
"Yier, should you ban Xiaoru as soon as possible?"
It has been almost ten days since she returned to the palace, and Shangguan Yi has not yet planned to title Princess Xiaoru. With Xiaoru staying in the palace like this, the palace people don't know how to call her.
"Mother, there's no rush now. Even if you want to be granted a seal, you have to agree with Xiaoru herself, right? After all, she is also a member of the Canglang Kingdom. It's really inappropriate to do this."
Shangguan Yi has brought all this out, wouldn't it be treason if Ying'er continues to talk
"Then, forget it, mother will go back and take care of your father. Don't be too tired and go to bed early."
"I respectfully send my mother off." When he saw Ying'er walking out of the imperial study, Shangguan Yi immediately followed her out. After performing some Qinggong exercises, he first arrived at Tailong Hall where Shangguan Jing lived.
He saw Xiaoru sitting on the white jade steps in front of the palace door from a distance. "Xiaoru, what are you thinking about?"
Xiaoru hurriedly recovered her thoughts and responded: "I didn't think about anything. I just haven't seen Ying'er's mother for a while. I don't know what she did."
"Xiaoru, can you accompany me for a walk in the Royal Garden? I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter? Can't you just say it here?" Xiaoru looked at Shangguan Yi in confusion.
"The Royal Garden is very beautiful. You have been taking care of my father since you came here. You must not have visited it yet. Just think of it as a place to relax."
The two of them walked in silence. I didn't stop to rest until I reached the pavilion by the lake. I saw that the structure of this pavilion was very similar to the one in Yu Wenxiang's mansion. But there is no inscription on this pavilion.
"What are you looking at?" Shangguan Yi sat on a stone bench and watched Xiaoru walking around the pavilion.
"Why doesn't this pavilion have a name?" Xiaoru stood on the side near the lake and suddenly recalled the days she spent in Yu Wenxiang's house.
"Originally, the Queen Mother wanted to inscribe it, but then they went into seclusion and no one cared about it. You can name it if you want."
"Qingyue Pavilion." The first word that came to Xiaoru's mind was "Qingyue Pavilion". She regretted saying it. What would happen if Shangguan Yi knew that she was copying Yu Wenxiang's inscription? Will he kill her
"Oh, why is it titled 'Qingyue Pavilion'?"
"The breeze on the lake caresses people's faces, and the bright moon in the sky disturbs people's hearts." Xiaoru clearly heard Liu Yu'er read it once, and she even laughed at his literary talent, but now she recited it so fluently that even she was shocked .
"Xiaoru is so talented in literature." Shangguan Yi clapped his hands to himself, Xiaoru's face turned red with embarrassment.
"Xiaoru's literary talent is so good, he must be a person with general knowledge. After all, you are not from our country, and some things cannot be based on personal sentiment. Do you understand?"
Shangguan Yi obviously had something to say, but what exactly did he want to say? Xiaoru was confused and could only look at Shangguan Yi, expecting him to speak clearly.
"You will understand. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you."
Shangguan Yi walked away gracefully, leaving behind Xiaoru who didn't know the way back, sitting in the pavilion without knowing anything, waiting for someone to take her back.
"Xiaoru, where did you go?" As soon as Ying'er saw Xiaoru, she pulled her closer to the inner hall.
"Xiaoru, do you want to be a princess and legitimately be the daughter of me and your Shangguan daddy?" Ying'er was straightforward. She finally understood
That’s why the Guanyi Club would say something like that.
"Mom Ying'er, as a woman in the 21st century, do you still care about status or anything like that?" Shangguan Yi's meaning couldn't be more obvious, and besides, she didn't care about this in the first place.
"That's fine, but you must stay with us, okay?"
"Well, I will definitely do it." She thought too, but...
