The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Xia Yanxiang still didn't quite believe it. This was quite different from her previous life. Could something unexpected have happened in the middle?

However, Xia Yanxiang was still cautious, and asked politely and with some surprise: "For me?"

Li Fu smiled and nodded, and then said, "There are so many people in this world who are blinded by money. If others knew about this civet cat, it would probably be caught and used as medicine. Yan'er has always been careful and kind-hearted. We are relieved to let you raise it."

Xia Yanxiang took it carefully, touched the kitten's white fur, thought for a moment, and agreed: "Thank you very much, Uncle Li."

Li Guan originally wanted to raise the kitten, but the kitten simply ignored her. Now seeing the kitten being held obediently by Xia Yanxiang, she felt a little jealous and couldn't help wanting to touch it.

Unexpectedly, the kitten suddenly opened its eyes and meowed in dissatisfaction.

Everyone laughed immediately, joking that Li Guan was not giving up. She was trying to win over the kitten along the way, but the kitten ignored her.

"Yan'er, since this cat is given to you, you can give it a name!" Yue Qing did not follow everyone else in making fun of Li Guan, but said to Xia Yanxiang.

Xia Yanxiang thought about it and replied, "Why not just call her Nian Nian?"

The previous life was like a dream, I only wish that this life will be prosperous every year.

Yue Qing nodded: "Okay."

"Oh, by the way, I also brought a gift for Brother Xujiang, as a gift for the coming of age." Xia Yanxiang suddenly remembered and quickly asked Wuyi to bring the gift.

"And mine?" Dongfang Xujiang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Sister Yanxiang still remembered that he had reached the age of 20 this year. Although it had passed, he was still very happy to receive a gift from Sister Yanxiang.

Xia Yanxiang smiled and nodded, waiting for Wuyi to bring the things up, and then said: "This is a good sword that I asked my brother to specially select for me from his warehouse. My brother said it was from the previous dynasty and he got it with great difficulty."

"Brother is actually willing to give up what he loves?" Dongfang Xujiang found it a little unbelievable. He also knew how much Xia Zhibai cared about those weapons, and sister Yanxiang actually asked for one for him!

Xia Zhibai was of course very sad. If it wasn't for Xia Yanxiang asking for it, he was afraid that he would not give it to the emperor even if he came.

Xia Yanxiang just smiled but didn't explain anything.

The sword was in a box. Dongfang Xujiang couldn't wait to take it out. When he really saw the quality of the sword, he couldn't help but become obsessed with it: "This, this is really a top-notch sword! I have been on the battlefield for so many years, and although I have received many good weapons, they can't compare with this one!"

Suddenly Dongfang Xujiang came back to his senses: "Sister Yanxiang, I will definitely find a good gift for you!"

"Brother Xujiang, you're welcome." Xia Yanxiang wanted to give Dongfang Xujiang a gift because Dongfang Xujiang was the son of her master and her mistress, and had loved her very much since childhood. This time, when she came back from the north, it happened to be Dongfang Xujiang's coming of age this year, so she thought of giving him a gift.

Dongfang Xujiang frowned instead, turned around and bowed to the elders, then said: "Please forgive me for being rude, but the gift from sister Yanxiang is too important. I must go back to my room immediately and think about returning the gift. I will leave first."

After saying this, Dongfang Xujiang walked away while muttering.

"It's like he's possessed." Li Guan muttered behind him. He really couldn't stand Dongfang Xujiang's stupid look.

The elders also shook their heads, but each had their own ideas.

However, before Dongfang Xujiang could come up with a solution, Tu had already taken Xia Yanxiang away, making Dongfang Xujiang regretful.

Xia Yanxiang thought about it for a long time. Considering her status, no matter how low-key she was, she could not escape the fate of being betrothed to the prince, unless her reputation was damaged. However, given the current emperor's suspicion, if her reputation was damaged, he might directly find an opportunity to take action against the General's Mansion or the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xia Yanxiang considered it over for a long time, and finally made a decision. She wrote a letter and sent Yukui to deliver it to Prince Luo's Mansion.

Yukui is the maid that Xia Yanxiang asked Li Guan for, and she has been to the battlefield with Li Guan.

Yu Kui almost dropped her jaw when she learned that Xia Yanxiang's letter was to be sent to Prince Luo's Mansion. Even though she had experienced many life and death situations, she couldn't help but be shocked by Xia Yanxiang's boldness.

However, Xia Yanxiang was obviously not afraid of death. When she ordered Yukui to deliver the letter to Prince Luo's Mansion, she was so calm that Yukui was stunned.

"Miss...are you sure you want to send her to Prince Luo's Mansion?" Yu Kui had just come to Xia Yanxiang's side and obviously didn't understand Xia Yanxiang's character yet. However, she had heard that Xia Yanxiang had always been low-key. She didn't expect that the first time she was sent to do something would be such a bold thing!

Xia Yanxiang nodded: "Just send it over, nothing will happen."

Yu Kui was half-believing and half-doubting. She pinched the letter, but still held back the question on her lips and sent the letter to Prince Luo's Mansion.

"Your Highness, this is a letter for you." Butler Wang had never been so hesitant before. He stood outside Mo Yuchen's study for a long time before knocking on the door and going in.

Mo Yuchen still didn't know: "What letter? Why was it delivered in the middle of the night?"

Steward Wang swallowed his saliva, then handed the letter to Mo Yuchen's desk: "It was sent from General Pu Wei's Mansion."

"General Pu Wei?" Mo Yuchen was a little confused. Xia Zhibai seemed to be a businesslike person, so why would he write to him in the middle of the night? Could it be...

"Who sent it?" Mo Yuchen suppressed his excitement and said calmly.

"It's a maid. She claims to be Miss Xia San's maid."

As soon as Butler Wang finished speaking, he saw Mo Yuchen opening the letter.

Written personally by His Royal Highness Prince Luo.

I have thought about what Your Highness has said for a long time and am willing to cooperate with Your Highness. However, this matter is of great importance and I hope Your Highness will understand that I have not yet informed my brother and uncle about this matter and cannot make the decision for them. I only ask that I, Your Highness, will do my best to fight with Your Highness. A letter is too short to say a long story. Can we meet and discuss it in detail?

Your servant Xia Yanxiang bows her head.

Mo Yuchen read the letter over and over again, his face showing visible satisfaction. Even Butler Wang couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what did the Third Miss say?"

Mo Yuchen put the letter back into the envelope, then asked as he picked up his pen, "Did the maid leave?"

"Yes, the maid handed the letter to me and left. Before I could ask if I wanted a reply, the girl had already disappeared."

Mo Yuchen chuckled. He had an idea in his mind: "It's okay, Steward Wang, you can go back and rest first! You don't have to stay with me."
