The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 121 Happy Old Age

The warm sunlight in the early morning shone brightly into Yunxi and the prince's bedroom through the gaps in the window lattice.

Yunxi opened her eyes drowsily, yawned, stretched herself, then turned her head to look at the prince who was still sleeping soundly beside her.

Although the prince's face was marked by traces of time, his brows still revealed a heroic spirit.

Yunxi carefully lifted the quilt, got out of bed quietly, picked up a simple light blue dress and put it on.

She walked to the dressing table, sat down, picked up the comb, and casually combed her hair a few times.

At this time, the maid Cui'er came in, twisting her body and holding a basin of water.

"Good morning, ma'am." Cui'er bent down slightly and said softly.

Yunxi raised the corner of her mouth and smiled slightly: "Cui'er, the weather is nice today."

Cui Er quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, Madam, the prince is still asleep."

Yunxi hummed softly, waved her hand and said, "Let the prince sleep a little longer. He has been tired these past few days."

After saying that, Yunxi stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the door.

Just as she reached the door, she turned back and took a look at the prince who was still sleeping, then she went out with peace of mind.

Coming to the yard, Yunxi took a deep breath, her face full of satisfaction.

She walked slowly along the gravel path, her eyes constantly looking around.

Look at the peony flowers in full bloom over here, and look at the gorgeous peony flowers over there.

As she walked, Yunxi stopped in front of a bunch of roses, bent down to smell the fragrance, and a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

After saying that, Yunxi walked out of the bedroom and came to the yard. The flowers in the yard were in full bloom, colorful and beautiful.

Yunxi walked slowly, admiring the spring scenery in the garden.

After a while, the prince woke up. He dressed neatly, walked out of the room in high spirits, and strode towards the yard.

When I arrived at the yard, I saw Yunxi standing in front of the flowers, her back was graceful.

The prince cleared his throat and asked with a smile, "Madam, what are you looking at so intently?"

Yunxi turned around upon hearing the voice, a faint smile on her face as she looked at the prince tenderly: "Look how beautifully the flowers are blooming."

When the prince heard this, he walked quickly to Yunxi and held her hand, which was warm and strong.

He looked at Yunxi with bright eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "With you by my side, the flowers bloom more beautifully."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and that smile was full of tacit understanding and warmth accumulated over the years.

Afterwards, the prince gently pulled Yunxi and sat down on the stone bench in the yard.

Yunxi leaned against the prince, raised her head slightly and said, "Prince, how about we go for a walk in the street?"

The prince did not hesitate and responded readily: "Okay, I will listen to my wife."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them stood up and went back to the house to pack up, and left the mansion with a few followers.

As soon as they arrived at the busy street, they were surrounded by the bustling crowd.

The streets were bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, and shouts were heard one after another.

"Candied haws, sweet and big candied haws!" the candied haws vendor shouted at the top of his voice.

Yunxi looked in the direction of the sound, and her eyes immediately fixed on the strings of red candied haws. Her eyes were full of joy, and she tugged at the prince's sleeve like a child: "Prince, I want to eat."

The prince looked at Yunxi's eager expression and couldn't help laughing. Without saying anything, he bought a bunch of skewers and handed them to Yunxi, reminding her, "Madam, eat slowly."

Yunxi took the candied haws, took a bite, and the sour and sweet taste spread in her mouth. A satisfied smile appeared on her face.

As they continued walking, they suddenly heard a burst of cheerful noises. It turned out to be a group of children playing in the street, chasing each other and making a lively scene.

"Haha, come and chase me!" A little boy ran with his face red, and did not forget to turn around and make faces at his friends.

Yunxi couldn't help but stop when she saw the children's innocent smiles.

The prince also stopped and stood quietly beside Yunxi.

Yunxi's eyes were a little blurry, and she said with emotion: "Your Highness, looking at these children reminds me of our youth."

The prince nodded: "Yes, time flies."

After saying this, a trace of emotion flashed across the prince's face, his thick eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and his deep eyes hid the vicissitudes of life.

Yunxi frowned slightly, her eyes filled with concern and pity.

At this time, an old man accidentally fell to the ground, and Yunxi and the prince hurried forward to help him up.

Yunxi quickly reached out her hand, her movements quick and steady, and asked anxiously, "Old man, are you okay?"

The old man said gratefully, "Thank you both, I'm fine, but my old bones are useless."

The prince said seriously, holding the old man's arm tightly, "Be careful."

After saying that, he did not forget to brush the dust off the old man's body.

The two continued to walk forward. Yunxi was dressed in silk and satin, and her steps were light, with the hem of her skirt swaying gently as she walked.

The prince stood tall and straight, with steady and powerful steps, and arrived at a teahouse.

"Your Highness, please come in and have some tea and rest your feet." Yunxi said.

There was a hint of anticipation in Yunxi's clear voice, and her beautiful eyes looked at the prince with tenderness in them.

The prince replied, "Okay." As he spoke, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a refreshing feeling.

I walked into the teahouse and found a seat by the window. The waiter quickly brought me tea and snacks.

Yunxi stretched out her slender fingers, gently picked up a piece of dessert, put it to her lips, took a small bite, chewed it carefully, and then said, "This tea smells fragrant."

The prince also picked up the teacup, sniffed it first, then raised his head and drank it all, put down the cup and said, "Hmm, not bad."

While drinking tea, a few people at the table next to me were talking about something.

"I heard that a troupe of opera singers came to the capital recently, and they performed very well."

Said a man. This man was wearing coarse cloth, with an excited look on his face and his hands gesturing non-stop.

"Really? We have to go check it out," another person replied, his eyes wide open, his face full of curiosity.

When Yunxi heard this, she turned around, her eyes gleaming with excitement, and said to the prince, "Prince, let's go and take a look too."

Yunxi's eyes were full of desire, and she looked like a child who was anxious to watch the fun.

The prince smiled and agreed: "Okay." As he spoke, he stood up with a clean and neat movement and reached out to support Yunxi.

After leaving the teahouse, the prince walked in front with big strides, and Yunxi followed closely behind.

As they walked, Yunxi's pace slowed down. When the prince noticed, he stopped, looked back at Yunxi, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?

Are you tired from walking?" Yunxi shook her head and said with a smile: "No, it's just that there are too many people on this street and I can't walk fast."

After hearing this, the prince reached out and took Yunxi in his arms, saying, "Then I'll take you with me so we don't get separated."

A blush appeared on Yunxi's face, and she let the prince pull her.

Along the way, Yunxi couldn't help but take a few more glances at the little gadgets on the street.

The prince saw this and ordered his followers to buy anything that Yunxi looked at for a second.

Yunxi scolded, "Your Majesty, don't buy so much. It's a waste of money."

The prince waved his hand and said, "As long as you like it, it's worth spending any amount of money."

Finally, they arrived at the theater. There were quite a few people gathered at the entrance. The prince protected Yunxi and finally squeezed in.

As soon as I entered, I heard someone shouting: "Sunflower seeds and peanuts, come and buy some!"

Yunxi was amused by the lively scene and laughed. The prince looked at Yunxi's happy expression and started laughing too.

After leaving the teahouse, they came to the theater. Although the show had not yet begun, many people were already seated in the audience.

Yunxi and the prince found a place to sit down. As soon as they sat down, Yunxi's big watery eyes stared straight at the stage, looking forward to the show starting.

The prince was calm and composed, with an upright posture and one hand resting lightly on his leg.

Soon, the play began. The actors on the stage sang, recited, acted and performed, which was very wonderful.

Yunxi's little face was full of excitement, her eyes didn't even blink, and she hummed a few lines from time to time, her head shaking slightly to the rhythm.

The prince occasionally turned his head to look at Yunxi, his eyes full of doting and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

As soon as the star on the stage opened his voice, Yunxi couldn't help but clap his hands, "This voice is really amazing!"

She turned her head excitedly and said to the prince, who smiled and nodded, "As long as my lady likes it."

After a while, Yunxi was so engrossed in watching that she unconsciously grabbed the prince's arm. The prince was not angry and just let her do it.

After the show, Yunxi was still not satisfied and kept muttering, "This show is really good. I wish I could watch it every day."

The prince touched her head and said, "As long as my wife wants to see it, I will accompany you every day."

After the show, it was almost dusk.

"Your Highness, I'm a little hungry." Yunxi said, and her stomach cooperated by making a "gurgling" sound.

The prince said, "Then let's go get something to eat."

They came to a restaurant, and as soon as they entered, the waiter greeted them warmly.

The prince found a private seat by the window and the two of them sat down. After a while, the signature dishes they ordered were served.

"This dish tastes good." Yunxi took a bite of the dish and said, smacking her lips a few times.

The prince smiled and said, "As long as my lady likes it."

Yunxi ate so much that her cheeks were bulging, like a little squirrel. The prince smiled even more happily at her cute appearance.

After dinner, the two of them walked slowly back to the Marquis's residence. Along the way, Yunxi kept muttering about today's play and dishes, and the prince would occasionally respond.

When they returned to the Marquis' Mansion, the maids came to greet them.

"Madam, the prince is finally back."

Yunxi and the prince walked into the bedroom, washed up, and lay down on the bed.

"Your Highness, I am so happy today." Yunxi said with a satisfied smile on her face.

The prince hugged Yunxi and said, "As long as Madam is happy, we will do this every day from now on."

Yunxi leaned in the prince's arms and gradually fell asleep.
