Chapter 366 The Mansion Belongs Only to Her
The next day, after Xie Lin left the court, he asked to leave the palace.
Xia Chan thought he was going back to the Xie family, so she followed him out of the palace.
However, after leaving the palace, she found that the carriage was not heading towards the Xie family.
"Aren't we going home?"
Xia Chan held Xie Wenhan in her arms and asked Xie Lin who was sitting next to them.
Today was colder than yesterday, but the carriage they were riding in was very sturdy, with thick wool blankets, soft pillows, and bolsters for their backs.
There is also a wool blanket that can be used as a cover.
On the low table at the door of the carriage, there was a copper stove for warming hands, burning the best charcoal, which was warm and smokeless.
Xie Lin took her hand and squeezed it, then pulled her and his chubby son into his arms.
"Take Chanchan to a place first."
"Ok?"
"Where to?"
Xia Chan was aroused by Xie Lin's mysterious words, and she asked him where he was taking her. But since the other party wanted to keep the secret, it was not so easy to tell her.
She frowned slightly in thought.
I thought about opening the window to look at the scenery outside, but I was worried that the wind and snow outside would blow in and give my son in my arms a cold.
After thinking it over, Xia Chan finally held back.
Forget it, let's keep him mysterious for now.
You'll know it sooner or later anyway.
When the carriage stopped at the gate of Xia's house, Xie Lin got off the carriage first. He hugged his son with one hand, held Xia Chan's hand with the other, and half-hugged her as he got off the carriage.
When Xia Chan came here, he naturally recognized that this was the former Lin'an Marquis Mansion.
Her nominal home.
"This is?"
Xie Lin was fine, why did he bring her here?
And looking at the servants standing on both sides, she had a vague premonition.
Xie Lin handed Xie Wenhan to Xu Ya, then turned around and smiled, holding Xia Chan's hand. "Shall we go in and take a look?"
"Uh……"
Well, now that we're already here, there's no reason not to go in.
Xia Chan nodded, went up the stairs with Xie Lin, stepped over the threshold of the Xia family, and entered the Lin'an Marquis Mansion.
Walking around the wall, Xia Chan opened his eyes slightly wide when he saw the completely different architectural furnishings in the courtyard.
A dozen well-trained servants came forward and saluted them together.
"Greetings to His Majesty, and to His Majesty the Queen."
Xia Chan looked at the person kneeling on the ground and saluted, then turned to look at Xie Lin beside him.
He had to explain himself a little.
Xie Lin gently took her hand and walked towards the corridor on the right.
"Chanchan, you suffered a great injustice when you married me."
The two were not originally agreed to be husband and wife, but because of Xia Yuanan's calculations, they became theirs by accident.
At that time, he was poisoned and lying on the bed unconscious, like a vegetable.
After being knocked unconscious by Xia Yuanan, Chan Chan was sent to Xie's house and to her own room.
This doesn't conform to the true process of marriage...
"So, you want to marry me again?" Xia Chan understood what Xie Lin meant.
That’s exactly what Xie Lin thought.
"Yes."
"Cicada cicada!"
He turned to face her and looked at her intently, "Marry me, please?"
Xia Chan was a little amused. "Come on, we already have a child, who else should I marry if not you?"
Besides, even if she really didn’t want to marry Xie Lin, no other man would dare to marry her, right?
Xia Chan thought with a smile.
Xie Lin got her promise, and he hugged her happily. "This time, I will definitely give you a wedding that will attract the attention of the whole city."
He wanted everyone in the country to know that his wife was someone he cherished very much.
Xia Chan didn’t care much about these nonsense. She only cared about whether Xie Lin’s mind was on her.
But looking at Xie Lin's appearance, she felt that if she told him at this time that it was okay not to get married again, it would definitely be a big blow to him.
So she thought about it and decided to give up.
Since he wants to get married again and have a serious wedding, let him do it.
"Does that mean I have to live in Xia Mansion until I get married?"
Xia Chan asked.
Xie Lin paused and hummed with some reluctance.
"Three days from now will be the auspicious time. I will come to pick up Chanchan then."
Three days later, the wedding was held together with the queen's coronation ceremony.
His wife, under the watchful eyes of the public, would enter the Xie family ancestral temple and become the Xie family's clan matriarch.
Xia Chan had no objection.
"Then the emperor will have to stay alone in his empty room tonight!"
On the contrary, she was still in the mood to tease Xie Lin.
Xie Lin touched her hair helplessly.
"So Chanchan, you must compensate me well when the time comes."
"Hmm? Didn't you already collect the compensation in advance?"
Last night plus the night before.
He was so fierce that her waist still hurts!
Xie Lin was a little embarrassed after being exposed. He held her hand and led her forward. "Let's go to the yard where you live and take a look."
"Okay."
The two walked forward hand in hand and arrived at the main house of the mansion.
"You are the only owner in the Xia Mansion, so this is your living room. From here you can reach the front yard. If you have guests, you can receive them in the front yard."
Xie Lin, like a responsible tour guide, carefully introduced the situation of the mansion to Xia Chan.
In addition to the main house, there are several side courtyards.
The side closest to her was the warehouse and kitchen of the mansion.
Then for those who were further away, servants from the mansion were arranged to protect them.
Xia Chan certainly wouldn't stay in the Xia Mansion for long. Most of the time, he was the one who managed the servants living there.
So Xie Lin converted the remaining vacant buildings into greenhouses or gardens.
Expand the outdoor area and just make sure the indoor area is sufficient.
In this way, when spring comes and flowers bloom, if they return to the Xia Mansion for a short stay, they can also enjoy the flowers and scenery in the garden.
I didn't expect Xie Lin to take so much trouble. Xia Chan naturally wanted to thank him very much.
She stood on tiptoes, hugged him and kissed him.
"Thank you."
"that's it?"
Xie Lin seemed unsatisfied.
Xia Chan twitched her lips and said, "What else do you want?" She glanced at the inner room from the corner of her eye and said, "You're not going to sleep here before leaving, are you?"
Xie Lin did want to.
But isn't this a problem?
He sighed, and hugged her tightly in his arms, "Yunying and the others will come here to accompany you, and mom and the others will come here tomorrow as well."
He was afraid that she would be lonely here alone.
Xia Chan squinted at him and asked, "Isn't it against the rules to meet the in-laws before getting married?"
"fine."
He has the final say, and what he says is the rule.
Who made him the emperor now?
Just that much confidence.
The couple talked for a while, Xie Lin had dinner here, and then returned to the palace.
The coronation ceremony for the Queen three days later and their wedding arrangements were all arranged by the Ministry of Rites.
However, Xie Lin cares a lot about Xia Chan, so he naturally has to pay more attention to the matter of marriage.
After returning to the palace from outside, he summoned the Minister of Rites and asked about the progress of the matter.
