Chapter 483: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Thirty-three)

Xuan Wen twitched his lips and said, "I'm happy, why wouldn't I be happy? But why are you here in Wuliu City instead of attending the imperial banquet in the palace?"

"My adoptive father, as the Imperial Master, doesn't even attend palace banquets. I'm just a minor official, and there are many people attending palace banquets, so I'm definitely not the one missing. Don't worry, I've feigned illness, and I have a replacement in the palace, so I won't be discovered."

Xuan Wen was not very satisfied with this answer and said, "Since when did the Prime Minister, the head of all officials, become a minor official? Tell me, what are you doing in Wuliu City? Don't say you came to see an old man like me. Do you have any ulterior motives for this girl?"

Xuan Yunian smiled without saying anything, stretched out his hands, and tried to pick up Tuantuan, but was hit hard by Xuan Wen with a dustpan.

"You're an unmarried boy, how do you know how to hold a baby? Don't let us fall."

When Cui Li walked into the front hall, he saw this scene and couldn't help laughing and said, "Master, you are so cruel! It's okay for you to hit me, but you also hit Yunian. You don't even feel sorry for your adopted son."

"Oh, you're thick-skinned, so why are you afraid of a beating? Why don't you feel sorry for your son?"

Cui Li was nagged by Xuan Wen, but she wasn't angry. She picked up Tuan Tuan from Xuan Wen's arms, walked over to Xuan Yunian and said, "Tuan Tuan, look, who is this? He's the prime minister of the dynasty, your uncle. Mother was able to give birth to you thanks to him."

Tuantuan was not afraid of strangers, but he didn't call out to anyone. He just stared at the white rabbit fur on Xuan Yunian's blue cloak, twisted his body forward, and kept touching the soft fur with his little hands, smiling so much that his eyes narrowed.

Cui Li saw her silly son tugging at Xuan Yunian's clothes, feeling helpless and amused. Xuan Yunian's expression had softened since he met Cui Li, and now seeing the baby's innocence, his eyes were filled with laughter.

"Li'er, I've learned how to hold a baby. Let me hold him."

Cui Li looked at Xuan Yunian in surprise, and took the opportunity to put Tuantuan in his arms. They were close to each other, and Cui Li could smell a very clear and refreshing fragrance, which was somewhat like the fragrance of plum blossoms, but also seemed to have the coldness of snow.

After confirming that Xuan Yunian was hugging Tuan Tuan, she took a few steps back and looked at her son lying on top of her with his arms around Xuan Yunian's neck. It really looked like a father and son.

Han Zhao was very excited to see his lord and wanted to go forward to pay his respects to him, but was stopped by Han Tong.

"Zhao'er, the Lord has finally come here, so let's not disturb him. We will go to see him in the evening."

"Yes, brother, you are right. Let's go to the tree in the backyard and dig two jars of wine." "Okay, let's go."

The brother and sister quietly walked around the front hall and went to the backyard.

Xuan Wen had amazing hearing. After listening to the two siblings, he looked at the talented man and beautiful woman in front of him. He rolled his eyes and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to check out tonight's dishes. You two can catch up on old times."

Without waiting for the two to answer, Xuan Wen disappeared.

Tuantuan stayed obediently in Xuan Yunian's arms, playing with the white fur.

Cui Li and Xuan Yu hadn't seen each other for a long time, but there was no awkwardness between them and they soon started talking to each other familiarly.

The two of them also went up to the attic together and looked at the sea in the distance. At the end of the year, there were few ships in the sea, only a few small boats were rowing on the water, slowly approaching the shore.

The atmosphere between the two was very harmonious, like family. Both of them learned from Xuan Wen and had broad knowledge. No matter whether they talked about court affairs or the people in the mountains, daily food or maritime trade, they had topics to talk about, and they had a great time talking for a while.

The wind in the distance blew Cui Li's long hair, revealing her red lips and black hair. Her eyes and eyebrows were a bit unrestrained, and her faint smile complemented her beautiful face.

Xuan Yunian unconsciously moved closer to her and tucked her hair, which was blown by the wind, behind her ears.

Cui Li said softly, "Thank you."
