Chapter 231 Moving to a Private Residence
Chapter 231 Moving to a Private Residence
On the way back, Xunfeng and two other servants drove in front. After the carriage drove away from the busy streets, Xunfeng took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeve and handed them to the two servants. Then he turned around and handed a few more pieces of silver to the carriage and said to them, "You have performed very well today. This is a reward from the princess!"
They were delighted when they accepted the silver, feeling that being able to work in the Yunnan Palace was a blessing from their previous life. Here, as long as they worked hard, there would always be rich rewards.
Not only that, they secretly rejoiced in their hearts that they had met such a generous princess. They also repeatedly thanked the two princesses and Xunfeng, expressing their gratitude.
In this way, the whole car returned to the Yunnan Palace smoothly with a happy mood.
As for the Yunnan Palace, they didn't pack everything. They only packed a few changes of clothes and some necessary items, and left the rest at the Yunnan Palace. Because they were all in Chang'an City, they could just send someone back to get them.
After Xunfeng dismissed everyone, he went to Meixiang Pavilion first. When he arrived at Meixiang Pavilion, Sijian and Shijian were packing up, so he asked the maid to report to Dugu Jingyao.
After a cup of tea, the maid came out and said, "Master Xunfeng, the princess asked you to sit in the flower hall for a while. She will be here later."
Xunfeng nodded slightly to show that he understood. The maid then made a "please" gesture, led Xunfeng to the flower hall, and served him tea.
Not long after, Dugu Jingyao arrived at the flower hall. Xun Feng saw Dugu Jingyao coming and immediately stood up and saluted, saying, "This subordinate greets the princess."
Dugu Jingyao went up and signaled Xunfeng to stand up when she passed by him.
After the two of them sat down, Xun Feng said, "Princess, I have ordered someone to clean up the Jiangxuexuan and Bishuige in your private residence. You and the little princess can move in and live in these two rooms."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Jingyao cast an admiring glance towards Xunfeng. She thought to herself that it was the right decision for her father to keep Xunfeng, because otherwise, with all the busyness, mistakes would have been made.
Dugu Jingyao smiled and praised, "Xunfeng, you are really thoughtful. Father made the right choice to keep you. It's also a good thing that Father was willing to let you go, otherwise we two sisters would have neglected many things!"
Xun Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't dare show it. He still said respectfully, "Your Majesty, you are too kind to me. It is my honor to help you with these small matters."
Although Xunfeng thought that they should move tomorrow morning, he still wanted to confirm the time. After all, these two princesses sometimes did things unconventionally.
So he asked cautiously, "Princess, when do you plan to move into the new courtyard?"
Dugu Jingyao looked up at the clepsydra clock, then turned to Xunfeng and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go ask Yue'er and the others how they're doing."
Then she called Shi Jian to her side and asked first, "Shi Jian, have you and Si Jian packed up?"
Shi Jian bowed to Dugu Jingyao and replied, "My Lady, we don't have much stuff and have already packed it."
Dugu Jingyao nodded slightly to show her satisfaction, and then ordered: "Okay, then you go to Shuyayuan to see how Yue'er and the others are doing." After receiving the order, Shi Jian turned around and went out to Shuyayuan.
Inside Shuyayuan, Liu Jingyue busily packed her luggage in her room. She carefully selected the clothes she would take to the capital, but there weren't many items to take. However, her dressing table was overflowing with cosmetics and skincare products, which was her biggest headache.
At the same time, Zhishu and Shili had just finished packing their luggage and were about to go to Liu Jingyue's room to help. When they walked into the yard, they happened to meet Shijian who came to look for Liu Jingyue.
Zhishu and Shili walked towards Shijian with smiles on their faces and asked kindly, "Sister Shijian, why are you here? Does the eldest princess have any special instructions?"
Shi Jian also returned a warm smile and replied, "No, there are no instructions. The eldest princess just asked me to ask if your luggage has been packed."
Shili was younger and more lively and cheerful. She smiled playfully and said, "Sister Shijian, you're here at the perfect time! Sister Zhishu and I just packed our bags and were planning to go look for the little princess!"
So, a few people walked towards Liu Jingyue's room while chatting and laughing. The door was open. When they arrived at the door, they happened to see Liu Jingyue who had just packed her luggage and was sitting there panting, looking a little exhausted.
They smiled at each other, and Zhishu knocked on the door lightly.
Liu Jingyue sat down on the Arhat couch and said, "Come in!"
She saw that besides the two little girls Zhishu and Shili, Shijian had also arrived, so she straightened herself slightly and said, "Shijian, why are you here?"
Shi Jian bowed and said, "My dear little princess, our princess asked me to ask how your luggage is being packed."
Liu Jingyue took a sip of water and said, "I just packed it!" Then she pointed to the package next to her.
Shi Jian looked in the direction Liu Jingyue pointed. What a huge package! Although shocked, she still said respectfully, "Okay, then I will go back and report."
Liu Jingyue quickly stopped her: "Shijian, wait, I'll go with you."
So the group came to Meixiang Pavilion again.
Dugu Jingyao saw that not only Shi Jian had returned, but Liu Jingyue had also arrived, so she knew that they should have packed up. So after Liu Jingyue sat down, she asked, "Yuer, do you want to move in today or tomorrow?"
Liu Jingyue thought it would be great if she could move there today so she could sleep in a little longer tomorrow. So she said without hesitation, "Tonight..." Then, realizing she was being too decisive, she quickly corrected herself, "Great! Tomorrow morning would be fine, too."
Dugu Jingyao couldn't help but laugh: "In that case, let's stay tonight. Xunfeng has already sent people to clean up the two courtyards over there for us to stay in."
Liu Jingyue was very happy, so the matter was decided happily.
Afterwards, the two of them had dinner together and then went to inform the servants who were going to accompany them. Their luggage was also placed on the carriage, and the two carriages headed towards the "Dugu Mansion" together.
