After shopping around for a day and sending Xu Miaojin back, Yang Xuan and the others returned to the Changping Marquis Mansion.
I took a bath and felt comfortable.
Yang Xuan and his wife hid under the quilt early.
Today I spent a day shopping with a few women. I am physically and mentally exhausted and I really can't bear it anymore.
"Xiao Xuanzi!" At this time, An Qing spoke.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Yang Xuan turned his head.
"Have you noticed something wrong with the way Miaojin looks at you today?" An Qing said.
"Is there any?" Yang Xuan was confused.
"Yes." An Qing answered affirmatively.
"What's that look?"
While shopping, Yang Xuan was only thinking about when he could finish shopping and take a rest, so he couldn't think of anything else.
"Look at the eyes of your sweetheart."
"I think Miaojin must have fallen in love with you."
An Qing said leisurely.
As soon as these words came out, Yang Xuan suddenly felt no longer sleepy.
He quickly stood up, looked at An Qing and said, "How is this possible? I have always regarded her as my sister."
"Someone used to think of me as his sister!" An Qing said slowly.
Um... Yang Xuan scratched his head and had nothing to say.
After a while, Yang Xuan said sheepishly: "You grew up later, didn't you?"
"Miaojin has grown up now!" An Qing said.
"That's different."
"There's only a dozen years difference between me and her." Yang Xuan shook his head.
"In other words, if they are about the same age, you agree."
"Is that what I meant?"
"Isn't that what you meant?"
"Um?"
"No, I really don't have any thoughts about her."
"You are the only one in my heart."
"Believe me."
"Eh~"
An Qing turned his head in disgust and let out a yelp.
"I'm serious." Yang Xuan emphasized.
"Of course I believe you."
"But how do you plan to handle this matter?" An Qing asked.
"I don't know, let me think about it first!" Yang Xuan lay down again and sighed.
If it had been anyone else, he would have simply refused.
But this person happens to be his junior sister, which makes it difficult to deal with.
Even if you agree, it will be impossible.
He is a consort and can only have one wife in his life, not even concubines.
Even Xiuhe, who has been serving him for more than ten years, is just a maid.
This thing about fame is difficult, too difficult.
Especially when Lao Zhu was in power.
"You should deal with this matter early."
"Otherwise, if my father finds out, it will not be good for anyone." An Qing reminded.
"I know." Yang Xuan said.
That’s why it’s so hard to choose!
"Alas~"
…
After that day, Yang Xuan hid when he saw Xu Miaojin.
It was fine once or twice, but when it happened more than once, Xu Miaojin naturally discovered something was wrong.
"Brother, why are you hiding from me?" That day, Yang Xuan still didn't hide and was caught.
"Ah... little junior sister, when did you show up here?" Yang Xuan pretended to be dumbfounded.
"Senior brother, stop pretending, it's nothing like it, okay." Xu Miaojin rolled her eyes.
"Ah...really?"
"Haha!" Yang Xuan touched his nose awkwardly and looked around to see if there was a suitable route for him to run away.
"Senior brother, stop looking, I won't let you run away today." Xu Miaojin looked at Yang Xuan and said angrily.
"Little junior sister, what are you doing? I have something else to do." Yang Xuan wanted to leave, but was blocked.
"You must tell me today why you are avoiding me." Xu Miaojin looked at Yang Xuan stubbornly.
"Little junior sister, don't make trouble!" Yang Xuan's voice dropped, and he was feeling a little confused now.
"Senior brother~"
"Do you dislike me?" Xu Miaojin asked in a low voice, looking like she was about to cry.
"It's nothing." Yang Xuan took a deep breath and shook his head in denial.
"Junior sister, please go back first. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it later."
After saying that, Yang Xuan walked straight past Xu Miaojin, leaving the latter standing alone.
"Senior brother!" She turned around and looked at his back, trying to persuade him to stay.
But Yang Xuan has already gone far.
"Senior brother, I just want to be by your side!"
…
After that, Xu Miaojin came to Changping Hou Mansion several times.
But those who received them were Anqing.
Xu Miaojin seemed to understand something.
She is not old, but a woman's intuition is very accurate.
Plus Anqing's hint.
How could she not understand?
She returned to the Duke of Wei's house in despair.
I haven't been out for several months.
And Yang Xuan was busy with government affairs and had no time to care about Xu Miaojin.
After all, as the New Year approaches, there are a lot of things going on.
By the time he saw his junior sister Xu Miaojin again, it was already time to take annual leave.
The sixth day of the first lunar month.
Changpinghou Mansion.
"Senior brother, can you go out for a walk with me?"
Xu Miaojin asked.
"Okay." Yang Xuan only thought for two seconds and nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked out of the Hou Mansion, and no one spoke.
Unknowingly, we came to the city wall.
Each brick here has the production date, production address, and person in charge.
This is just to facilitate accountability if something goes wrong in the future.
It is precisely for this reason that the city walls here still stand here hundreds of years later.
"Brother!"
"Little junior sister!"
The two spoke at the same time, then looked at each other, and said in unison again: "You speak first!"
"You should say it first!" Yang Xuan said with a smile.
Xu Miaojin hummed softly.
Then he lowered his head and stepped on the cracks in the bricks, walking in front of Yang Xuan.
"Senior brother, I have talked with the princess, and I know you are feeling very embarrassed."
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you anymore."
She looked back at Yang Xuan and smiled.
At this moment, a snowflake fell from the sky and landed on the little junior sister's head.
Yang Xuan wanted to reach out to help him knock it off, but Xu Miaojin reached out to stop him.
"No need, senior brother, just let it stop on top!"
"It'll melt away soon anyway!"
Yang Xuan's hand stopped in mid-air, and then fell down weakly.
"Okay." He forced out a smile and slowly followed behind his junior sister.
Snowflakes were falling in the vast sky, and soon it was covered with a layer of snow on the city wall.
Yang Xuan listened quietly to the junior sister's story. For some reason, his heart felt uncomfortable.
He knew what his junior sister was thinking, and she also knew what he was thinking.
Neither of them broke this tacit understanding.
"Senior brother, I am already seventeen this year. Logically speaking, I should have gotten married long ago."
"But in a family like ours, marriage is destined to depend on His Majesty's wishes."
"If nothing happens, I may end up marrying a certain prince like the eldest, second, and third sister."
"This kind of political marriage is not what I want."
"I want to marry the person I like without any factors involved."
Listening to these words, Yang Xuan could only respond with silence.
How could he not know what the junior sister said.
But, being in the middle of the situation, you can’t help yourself.
If he accepts his junior sister's wishes, Lao Zhu will definitely kill her, and he may also kill himself.
Don't doubt Lao Zhu's determination.
But if you don't accept it, it will hurt the little junior sister's sincerity, and she may even become strangers from now on.
This was the reason why he was in trouble, and also the reason why he was hiding from his junior sister.
At this time, the snow was already very heavy, and the footprints left by the two people were also covered.
The way down to the city wall was at the corner in front, and Xu Miaojin stopped.
She looked back at her senior brother. Her hair and body were also covered with a thick layer of snow.
She smiled again, as bright and brilliant as the plum blossoms in winter!
"Senior brother, it seems that we all ended up growing old together if we were not careful!"
Yang Xuan's heart trembled, and he froze in place.
He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
When he came to his senses again, the junior sister had disappeared around the corner of the city wall.
Ah!
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, grabbed a handful of snow off his head, and looked at it in trance.
If they were exposed to the snow together, they would be together for the rest of their lives!
Junior Sister, Junior Sister, if there is an afterlife...
