Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 73
~End of chapter 72
Her legitimate sister promised to make Xi Xian a pouch, a handkerchief, she was very straightforward, and didn’t beat around the bush.
Xi Xian also boldly added some requirements: “I want a bunny pattern, the color should be light and elegant, not red or green.”
Knowing her legitimate sister’s understanding of colors, she thought it was necessary for her to point out these details.
Her legitimate sister agreed to everything, her expression was light, and she even had a gentle and serene smile.
Chapter 73
(26.3)
Xi Xian felt that her legitimate sister was more like an elder, although sometimes she couldn’t understand her, but most of the time she seemed strong enough that she could do anything, so her heart felt very much at peace.
When her legitimate sister was like that, she also resembled her concubine mother, no matter what Xianxian requested, she would try her best to fulfill it.
Even though her concubine mother’s skills were not great, she was able to make Xi Xian feel at peace.
Xi Xian then became even more bold and carefully said, “Sister, I also want a dudou, with a bunny pattern as well, in a soft pink color, is that okay?”
She was afraid that legitimate sister would find her annoying, after all, for some things, people would have to take the initiative to do it, but one couldn’t request it of others, so Xi Xian then hurriedly said, “It’s okay if it’s only the dudou.”
The color of her legitimate sister’s eyes turned a little bit deeper, she calmly looked at her and sipped a mouthful of tea before she slowly smiled, “Alright ah.”
Xi Xian’s heart leapt up in joy, as if this was going to prove her position in her legitimate sister’s heart.
Her legitimate sister had many younger sisters, all of whom were not blood related to her.
But only Xianxian was being favored and indulged by her legitimate sister, and they were both people who had been reborn, so thinking about it, perhaps she and her legitimate sister should have opened up their hearts to each other a long time ago, to become a pair of good sisters, so close to each other nothing could get between them.
Xi Xian didn’t know why she was thinking this way.
In fact, a piece of clothing did not mean anything at all, she was just too sensitive about the way she was thinking about matters, so most of the time, it was easy for her to think of things in an over-complicated manner.
But Xi Xian couldn’t control her head, and she couldn’t help herself.
She sat with her legitimate sister for a while, and then reluctantly left. She also fixed an appointment with her legitimate sister, she absolutely had to meet her in five days, otherwise her legitimate sister would stay behind closed doors to worship the Buddha, and in the blink of an eye, another month or two would pass, where she wouldn’t see her, and wouldn’t know anything.
When Xi Xian left, Zi Yu came in to clean up the table.
She was much more silent than Qing Yu, and often went two or three days in a row without saying a word, if the master did not ask her any question, she wouldn’t speak, much like a wooden person.
They had been trained, when they were not supposed to speak, they had to be transparent like the air. But, Qing Yu talked more, and was a bit gentler, so she was first sent to the Xi family as a servant.
But Qing Yu was now older, and started to have some thoughts, so she was no longer useful.
The man looked at Zi Yu before saying in a low voice: “You know how to embroider?”
He used his original voice, and when Zi Yu raised her head, she saw the crown prince’s cold and silent eyes looking at herself, leaning idly on the couch, before he slowly closed his eyes.
Zi Yu heard her own hoarse voice, “I do.”
After a pause, the crown prince slowly said: “Then you teach me.”
Zi Yu was really surprised. Her master could do everything. The knowledge that the villagers in the mountain had, he understood everything, what the noble gentlemen had to learn, he was also proficient in it, and he was completely versed in both civil and military affairs.
He was an imperial prince, and she heard that he even knew how to cook, he learned everything not caring about whether those things were considered lowly or noble.
If one had to guess what he didn’t know how to do, perhaps it was embroidery and childbearing.
But as a man, there was no need to learn these two things?
Moreover, the master attended to many affairs every day, the affairs at court were quite complicated, and each of his robes and accessories were supplied by the Shangyi Bureau, why would the crown prince have the intention to learn about these?
She did not reveal anything of what she was thinking, and just calmly said: “Yes.”
The crown prince’s expression was still indifferent and relaxed, he wasn’t uneasy at all, and just followed what Zi Yu was teaching him with the embroidery needle, poking the embroidery circle under the sun, piercing the needle and thread through the fabric.
When the man returned to the East Palace, whenever he was free, he would take up the embroidery circle, a needle and threads. Even when he was discussing with his advisors, he wasn’t embarrassed at all, and he would embroider while talking slowly and methodically. He had a magnanimous and calm look, and from time to time, he would lift his eyelids, and coldly point out some of the problems of the political situation, as well as the water-control problems of the winter season, as well as some matters regarding reforming the law.
Embroidery wasn’t a craft that could be mastered in just a day or two days, but the crown prince was a natural talent, and he was not restrained by convention, so his progress was very fast.
In just only half a month, the man was able to embroider a plump little rabbit, with a carrot in its mouth, and silly red eyes.
The crown prince’s advisors were about to go crazy, they did not dare to discuss the matter among them, but they were all speculating in their minds one or two reasons behind the crown prince’s behavior.
When the crown prince was free, he went to the Xi family, threw the embroidery circle to Zi Yu and leisurely commanded: “Make it into a dudou, and then send it to the sixth miss.”
