Chapter 852 It’s too late, Your Highness won’t go back.
forecourt,
After only looking at the reception room and dining hall, and then visiting Pu Ge'er's bedroom and study, the male guest no longer went to the backyard.
The hall was spacious and bright, with a plaque written by a famous calligrapher hanging in the middle, rosewood armchairs placed on both sides, and blue and white tea sets on the coffee table exuding a warm luster.
The flower hall is even more elegant, with dappled sunlight filtering through the carved window lattices. The eight-immortals table is covered with a brocade tablecloth embroidered with twined branches, and several plates of exquisite snacks exude a sweet fragrance.
Xu Zize took the siblings and continued to walk towards the backyard. Jing Chunxi naturally had to call the sisters along, along with the two maids and Xiaoyu, making for a large group of people.
Xu Zize walked calmly, Jing Chunxi followed closely beside him in a floral dress. Pu Ge'er also looked particularly energetic today, as if he had the aura of a young master.
The younger ones were stopped behind by Jing Mingyue and Chuntao. Even Ling'er, who had just seen Jing Chunxi, was not allowed to come forward even after she greeted him.
Their inexplicable behavior made Ling'er pout to express her dissatisfaction.
Although they were reluctant, they were soon drawn in by the elegant landscape of the courtyard. The rockery was covered with verdant vines, and a few orchids bloomed between the cracks of the rocks, emitting a faint fragrance. Butterflies fluttered their wings and swooped over the flowers.
"Xi'er definitely doesn't want to occupy the largest courtyard, but wants to leave it for Pu'er to get married. So Brother Xiaokang took the initiative to arrange this small courtyard near the palace wall as your boudoir." Xu Zize pointed to the small courtyard with a two-story pavilion.
The scenery in the backyard is very different from other houses. There is no back garden. But after passing the hanging flower gate, there are scenery everywhere, and the most beautiful scenery is in the middle of the whole yard.
The colorful paintings on the hanging flower gate were as bright as new, and a pair of delicate copper bells hung on the lintel, making a pleasant sound when the breeze blew past. The courtyard was paved with cobblestone paths, lined with neatly trimmed shrubs, and a few crabapple trees were in full bloom.
The flowing water, pavilions, towers and the moonlight on the lotus pond are all concentrated in this small but exquisite courtyard.
A winding waterway paved with bluestone slabs, with clear water gurgling through it, half-hidden by shrubs and flowers on both sides. The pavilion is hexagonal, with high upturned eaves.
The green lotus leaves in the lotus pond are crowded together, and a few pink and white lotus flowers are in bud, which must look even more quiet under the moonlight.
Walking past the pavilion and crossing the Nine-Curve Bridge, we arrived at the back of the right wall. Xu Zize pointed to the pattern painted in thick ink on the wall and said, "The gate is planned to be opened here. It was also the intention of Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wangfei. It will be opened after the repairs are basically completed."
The wall was originally made of blue bricks and was covered with ivy. The painted archway did not feel out of place and looked as real as ever.
"Why? Is this place too far away? Wouldn't it be more convenient to open it in the middle?" The two noticed that this location was already at the back of the entire courtyard. Jing Chunxi frowned slightly, feeling that something seemed amiss.
"Do you want all the servants to go through this door?" Xu Zize reminded softly, and his expression softened slightly when he looked at Pu Ge'er. The jade crown that tied his hair today shone with a warm luster in the sunlight.
"Of course not." The brother and sister answered in unison, and finally smiled at each other and came to their senses.
Pu Ge'er showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes sparkled, "Pu Ge'er got it."
"From Xi'er's courtyard, it's only about ten steps to this door. Pu'er's courtyard isn't far away either." He pointed to the back of the house, where there were two small courtyards on the left and right. Following his finger, they knew which courtyard they lived in.
Jing Chunxi smiled and said happily, "This door is opened for us, our parents, and our brothers and sisters."
She thought that Xu Zize was thoughtful. This door couldn't let anyone go out. Naturally, only the master and the servants who had received orders could go out. Otherwise, the two mansions would be in chaos!
Looking at Xu Zize, the corners of her eyes curved slightly when she smiled, like two crescent moons, and two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks.
"What do you mean it's opened for you? I'm here for you too! Ling'er has to come to see her sister every day." Hearing this, Ling'er couldn't help but speak out.
She stamped her feet, and the pearls on her embroidered shoes swayed gently with her movements. Her little face flushed slightly with anxiety.
The sisters were walking and stopping at the back, and even stopped on the bridge to look at the lotus flowers and fish. But then, seeing the ones in front stopped for a long time as if discussing something, the younger ones couldn't wait to catch up.
Mingzhu naturally refused and started to argue, "That's right, that's right, what about us? We have to go see our aunt and our brothers and sisters."
"Cousin, please leave a few rooms for us. We are not in a hurry to leave now. We are just staying here."
Mingzhu wasn't willing to be outdone, and Jinjie'er wasn't a pushover either. It was as if the words she and Jinjie'er spoke had been brewing in their minds for a long time. Perhaps she had already discussed how to play together with Yaya and Ling'er, and was just waiting for them to say this.
When Jin Jie'er spoke, her eyes sparkled with a hint of cunning. She ran over and looked up at Jing Chunxi.
"There are just a few small courtyards, so I'll ask someone to help you set them up." Jing Chunxi was about to speak, but Xu Zize spoke first and made the arrangements.
He also changed his pleasant expression when facing the brother and sister just now, raised his chin slightly, revealing his well-defined jawline, and his tone was filled with unquestionable majesty.
"No, we want to live in the same courtyard with my cousin, or even just one room for the four of us." Jin Jie'er was bold and decisive. She put her hands on her hips, tilted her head, and looked determined to achieve her goal, completely oblivious to the serious, handsome man's identity.
"Yes,..." Mingzhu wanted to go up the pole and stick out her little chest, but she was stopped by Jing Mingyue who followed closely.
Jing Mingyue lowered his voice and said, "Either live in another courtyard or go back." After saying that, he turned around and winked at the two of them, winked at them, and put on a stern face.
Feng Jiaojiao also hurried to come to the rescue. She looked at Jing Chunxi openly, but she was actually conveying a message to His Royal Highness the First Prince, "Jiaojiao and Sister Mingyue will live in the same room. Your Royal Highness the First Prince, please help with the decoration. We just need a bed." She lowered her head and spoke respectfully.
"You..." Xu Zize's expression deepened with displeasure. Just as he was about to explode, he suddenly remembered that both girls' marriages had already been basically settled, and it wouldn't be long before they got married at this age. Thinking that they didn't have much time to rely on his girls, his brows relaxed, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
His face suddenly turned from cloudy to bright, and he smiled and said, "That's easy, just tell the craftsman."
As he said this, he looked at Jing Chunxi with a slight smile on his face, a meaningful glint in his eyes.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto his face, outlining his handsome features.
Seeing that no one objected, he added, "Your Highness must ask Prince Jing to vacate a room in the front yard. If you drink or have tea with him late, he won't go back."
These words seemed to be spoken to himself, but also seemed to be said intentionally for Jing Chunxi to hear.
