The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 180 Enjoy life

That day, bright sunlight shone through the carved window lattice and directly onto Yunxi's bed.

Yunxi opened her eyes drowsily, yawned, stretched herself, and then slowly got up to wash up.

She was wearing a light blue brocade dress, and the white ribbon tied around her waist made her graceful figure look even more beautiful.

Yunxi had a fair face, curved eyebrows, bright eyes, and naturally red lips. Her black hair was gently tied up and pinned with an exquisite hairpin.

Yunxi walked out of the room slowly and saw the flowers in the courtyard blooming so beautifully.

The maid Xiaotao was holding a showerhead, bending over and carefully watering the flowers.

Xiaotao has two round buns on her hair, and her face is chubby like a red apple. Her big eyes are rolling around, showing her cleverness.

"Xiao Tao, the flowers look more lively today." Yunxi said in a clear voice with a smile on her face.

Xiao Tao heard the voice and quickly turned around. A smile spread across her face as she replied crisply, "Madam, this is all thanks to you. This yard is so beautiful every day because of your care."

Yunxi smiled and shook her head. She walked over to Xiaotao, leaned over and smelled a newly opened flower, and said, "This flower is thanks to you, a girl, who takes good care of it every day."

Xiao Tao straightened up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "Madam, please don't say that. It is Xiao Tao's blessing to be able to work with you."

Yunxi straightened up, patted Xiaotao on the shoulder, and said, "Your little mouth is as sweet as honey."

After saying that, Yunxi flicked her sleeves and walked slowly towards the garden with light steps.

In the garden, butterflies fluttered among the flowers. Yunxi reached out to catch one, but the butterfly playfully flew away.

"This little thing is really smart." Yunxi said with a smile.

At this moment, a fragrant aroma wafted from the kitchen. Yunxi walked over curiously and saw the cook, Mrs. Wang, busy at work.

Mrs. Wang was wearing an old apron with spots of oil on it. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, which were running down her cheeks.

"Mrs. Wang, what delicious food did you make today? It smells so good." Yunxi leaned over, sniffed hard, and asked with a greedy look on her face.

Mrs. Wang raised her head, revealing her big white teeth, and smiled innocently, "Madam, here are your favorite osmanthus cakes, and a few new side dishes."

Yunxi couldn't help swallowing her saliva as she smelled the aroma. She stared at the pot and said, "Sister Wang, I think this osmanthus cake is almost cooked. I can't wait any longer."

Mrs. Wang wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve and said, "Madam, please don't be impatient. It's still a little while before it's cooked."

After a while, the food was served on the table. Yunxi couldn't wait to pick up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction and said incoherently, "Sister Wang, your cooking skills are really good. This osmanthus cake is sweet but not greasy, and it melts in your mouth."

After lunch, Yunxi went to the study, which was filled with various books, some of which had worn covers.

Yunxi picked up a medical book and sat by the window to read it carefully.

The sunlight shone on her through the window, giving her a golden edge.

At this time, Li Shihan, the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, walked in quietly.

"Sister-in-law Yunxi, I'm here to ask you some questions." Li Shihan said softly, her voice as clear as a yellow oriole singing out of a valley.

Yunxi put down the book, looked at her with a smile, and said kindly: "Shihan, come, sit here."

Li Shihan was wearing a pink dress with a few delicate little flowers embroidered on it. Her face was full of youthfulness and her big eyes were blinking.

"Sister-in-law, I've been having trouble with embroidery lately. Could you teach me?"

Li Shihan walked to Yunxi, took her arm and acted coquettishly.

Yunxi took her hand and patiently explained: "Shihan, for embroidery, you have to choose the right needle and thread first, then look at the pattern carefully, and be steady and accurate when you insert the needle..."

Li Shihan listened attentively and nodded continuously.

After talking for a while, Yunxi felt a little thirsty. She stood up, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said, "Shihan, you have to practice more. Practice makes perfect."

Li Shihan responded obediently: "Sister-in-law, I understand. I will definitely practice hard."

Unconsciously, it was already evening. Yunxi came to the lakeside and watched the afterglow of the setting sun shine on the lake, making the waves sparkle.

"Madam, the wind is strong, be careful not to catch a cold." Cui'er, the maid beside her, reminded her.

Yunxi nodded, "Well, let's go back."

Cui'er hurried forward, supported Yunxi's arm, and walked into the house carefully.

Back in the room, Yunxi leaned on the couch, closed her eyes, and recalled the tranquility and beauty of the day.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside. Yunxi frowned slightly, stood up, and walked out.

I saw the second young master of the Marquis' Mansion, Li Xuan, and several servants chasing and playing in the yard.

Li Xuan was running out of breath, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his hair was messy.

"Li Xuan, you kid, why are you so noisy?" Yunxi put her hands on her hips and raised her voice.

When Li Xuan heard Yunxi's voice, he stopped in his tracks, scratched his head, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Sister-in-law, I'm just happy."

There was still excitement on his face and his eyes were shining.

Yunxi shook her head helplessly and said angrily, "You, you never stop being quiet."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.

At night, Yunxi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She would sometimes wrap herself tightly in the quilt, sometimes stretch her legs out, her heart in turmoil.

She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky. The moon was big and round, casting a cool light.

"I don't know what the prince is doing right now." Yunxi murmured to himself.

She held her cheeks with both hands, with a hint of longing in her eyes.

Just as he was thinking, the door was gently pushed open and the prince walked in. The prince was wearing a black brocade robe, with an upright posture and a gentle smile on his face.

"Xier, I'm here to accompany you." The prince said with a smile, his voice low and magnetic.

Yunxi showed a look of surprise on her face, and she threw herself into the prince's arms, holding his waist tightly with both hands.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Yunxi raised her head, her eyes full of joy.

The prince stroked her hair and said, "I missed you, so I came here."

His eyes were full of affection.

Yunxi blushed, lowered her head, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I miss you too."

The prince took Yunxi's hand, walked to the bed and sat down, saying, "I've been very busy these past few days. I've neglected you. Don't blame me."

Yunxi quickly shook her head and said, "Your Highness has been working hard for the mansion and important matters. I understand."

The prince held Yunxi's hand, exerted a little force, and said, "You still understand me."

The two of them exchanged many heartfelt words. Yunxi leaned on the prince's shoulder, a happy smile on her face.

The two of them sat in each other's arms, talking about sweet things until late at night. That night, Yunxi slept particularly peacefully.
