After leaving the rockery, Wei Changjuan was so worried that she couldn't help but look back. After confirming that Princess Anji had not regretted and caught up with her, she breathed a sigh of relief. She cried and found a flower bush to tidy up herself. Because the mirror and comb are all at the maid's place, there is nothing much that can be done except to pull up the skirt and dust it off.
She calmed down for a long time before she dared to walk out of the flowers, and tried her best to pretend that nothing had happened and returned to the corridor outside the flower hall. The two maids who had been left behind were confronting each other. When they saw her coming, the maid who served her rushed over: "Miss Seventh, are you back? Just now, the eldest lady sent someone to call you. I know that you and Miss Three are here." After I went out, I was very worried!”
"Miss Pinglu, you have to be careful what you say!" The maid just finished her words, but Qin Ge stopped and said in a loud voice, "Our young lady went out with the seventh lady. How could it be that you, the seventh lady, are alone here?" Are you back? Where is our young lady?"
Wei Changjuan instinctively wanted to scold Qin Ge - but as she spoke, she remembered Princess Anji's words: "Don't forget that today is a good day for my cousin Chengxian. If anything happens after you go back, I will be like this today." I'll strip you naked and throw you out on the street." She couldn't help but shudder. If Wei Changying said this and she dared to bet on luck, Princess Anji had really stripped a married woman!
Being so frightened, he swallowed his anger and said, "I just fell down in the garden. The third sister met Princess Anji, and I came back by myself."
"Miss Seventh, did you fall?" Pinglu knew that Wei Changjuan had been trying to cause trouble for Wei Changying. She thought this was a good opportunity to build a ladder for her master, so she made a fuss and shouted, "What about Miss Third?" How can I let you come back alone? It was Miss San who asked the maids to stay here before! Did Miss Third leave you alone just because she saw Her Royal Highness Princess Anji?"
Qin Ge and others frowned. Based on their understanding of Wei Changying, even if they were to teach Wei Changjuan a lesson, they would not do something so concrete. Besides, Wei Changjuan's hesitant appearance before... maybe Was she beaten by Princess Anji and did she say this just to save face? He said coldly: "Yes, Miss Qi, please make it clear. You and our young lady went out together, but now you have come back alone, but you have left our young lady there with Anji." Your Highness, what’s going on?”
There were other people's maids waiting in the corridor. When they heard this, they expressed sympathy for Qin Ge and others: If they met other highnesses, they would also suspect that Wei Changying wanted to flatter Jinzhiyuye alone and sent his sister back deliberately. But Her Royal Highness Princess Anji... Who doesn't know that this is a master who wants to run around immediately when he sees it from a distance
So the Wei sisters went out together, and now Wei Changjuan came back alone and said that she met Princess Anji. Maybe it was the two sisters who made Princess Anji displeased, so Wei Changjuan escaped by chance after being dealt with. Unfortunately, the third young lady of the Wei family and the third young lady of the Shen family were still in the hands of Princess Anji. No. You know what will happen!
Wei Changjuan saw the expressions on everyone's face, and understood in just one thought. She was filled with shame and anger, bit her lip and said: "I met Her Royal Highness Princess Anji first, and then... I saw that the third sister and Her Royal Highness Princess Anji were having a very happy conversation. , so I came back first. As a result, I accidentally fell down on the road, and I’m afraid the third sister didn’t know.”
Such words were barely fulfilled, but I don’t know how many people believed them. In short, the four of Qin Ge looked at each other and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Although Princess Anji, no matter how fierce she is, will definitely not be able to defeat Wei Changying, who told her to have a golden branch and jade leaf
After Qin Ge and the four left like this, the others became more convinced that Wei Changjuan abandoned her sister and ran away after meeting An Ji. Wei Changjuan's heart was in a mess, and she was stunned in the corridor for a while, not knowing how to explain it. Fortunately, Wei Changwan had been thinking about his sister who was taken away alone by Wei Changying, so he was waiting in the flower hall. When he received the news, he came out and saw that his sister's clothes were disheveled, her hairpin was crooked, and her face was unattractive. There was still some dust on the place... Then I heard the maid in the corridor whispering about "Princess Anji". I was startled and hurriedly pulled her and said: "Why did you fall? Let's go to the back room to clean up. Don't The banquet was delayed for a while.”
He dragged Wei Changjuan into the house, asked the maid to check that no one was inside and outside, and then closed the door. Then he asked in a low voice, "What on earth is going on? But Wei Chief Ying beat you?"
Wei Changjuan also burst into tears at this moment, choking and saying: "There is also Princess Anji."
Wei Changwan was surprised: "Princess Anji? Wei Changying probably hasn't met Princess Anji a few times, so why did he get together with Princess Anji?"
"How did I know?" Wei Changjuan cried, "Wei Changying dragged me behind the rockery, beat me and scared me, and was about to let me go, but I only took two steps and ran into Princess Anji head-on. Before I could even salute, Princess Anji kicked me so hard that I fell to the ground. She also stepped on my skirt with her foot, preventing me from getting up..." Thinking of how much she was loved by her parents, brothers and sisters at home, When she entered the palace, she was quite dignified in front of Princess Linchuan and Princess Qingxin, but today she was trampled on by Princess Anji casually, which made Wei Changjuan feel extremely resentful.
Wei Changwan's face turned serious, and she said, "Did you know? You instigated Princess Qingxin to embarrass Wei Changying today. Do you know how she got away?"
Wei Changjuan still didn't know that Princess Anji had beaten Princess Qingxin, so she said: "I heard that Queen Mother Run and Queen Run rushed over together. Maybe they were the ones to smooth things over."
"It was Princess Anji who scolded Princess Qingxin, and the two princesses even had a fight in public." Wei Changwan sighed and said, "While slapping Princess Qingxin, she forgot about Wei Changying. Queen Run coaxed her into applying the medicine, so she didn’t come to the flower hall.”
Wei Changjuan was stunned: "Why is it Princess Anji again?"
"Princess Anji seems to be fierce and courageous, but she is actually very shrewd." Wei Changwan sneered and said, "Otherwise, with her little imperial favor, Mrs. Zhenyi would have lost her Sacred Heart long ago. She is not familiar with Wei Changying, and she does not have a familiar life wife, and she is not always good-natured. It must be because of her sudden help to Wei Changying! There are benefits to this.”
Wei Changwan said coldly, "And it's not just an ordinary benefit, it's a benefit worth beating up Princess Qingxin and offending the empress!"
Wei Changjuan was shocked and subconsciously said: "Has grandpa decided to take over Ruiyu Hall..." This was what she was most concerned about, whether her father Wei Shengyi could take over Ruiyu Hall - but mid-sentence, she felt something was wrong and murmured He said, "Even so, what good will it do to Princess Anji?"
"Princess Anji has also reached the age of decline." Wei Changwan was older after all. With a twitch in his eyes, he immediately thought of a possibility, "Wei Changfeng... isn't he about the same age as Princess Anji, and is not married yet?"
Wei Changjuan said: "But eldest sister, Princess Anji is not allowed to be pampered! If she is Princess Linchuan, she will be fine."
Wei Changwan shook his head and said: "You can't just look at favor. Princess Linchuan and Princess Qingxin are indeed more favored than Princess Anji. But have you ever thought about it? Everyone in the emperor is saying that Princess Linchuan is talented, virtuous and kind, and Qingxin The princess is so beautiful and innocent, and almost no one praises Princess Anji in the middle. But among the three princesses, Princess Anji is the one who is the most daring.”
She said slowly, "Princess Anji's scheming in the city cannot be compared to Princess Linchuan and Princess Qingxin! Everyone in the emperor knows that she and Mrs. Zhenyi are not favored, but she can still live a good life... She is called the emperor both inside and outside the palace. Don't dare to underestimate the Doujin Palace where their mother and daughter live! You see, it's not holy. Princess Lingxian is almost a generation older than Princess Anji, and she lives in such obscurity, not to mention the many famous people in the harem? As a concubine, she is like a disgraced person who has been in the cold palace! Our great-grandmother has always taken a long-term view. Of course, the emperor's favor is very important, but to put it bluntly, the emperor is already old...
"Besides, it's not certain whether Wei Changfeng dares to come to the Imperial Capital now. Even if he comes, he won't be able to stay in the Imperial Capital all his life. What if he goes to a place far away from the Imperial Capital? As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away - relying on others is always a problem. It's not as reliable as being able to do it yourself. The uncle only has two children, Wei Changying and his brother. Wei Changying is already married, and Wei Changfeng is now sixteen, but they haven't said goodbye yet. This must be the grandson of the grandmother. But I tried so hard to find a good match for him, but it ended up being delayed!"
Wei Changjuan hurriedly asked: "Sister, Princess Anji is so fierce. What if Changfeng marries her? This must be stopped!" Are you kidding me? Princess Anji has nothing to do with her now. Just beat her like this. If she really became her cousin-in-law, and later became the wife of the head of the Wei family in Fengzhou, Wei Changjuan could not imagine how miserable her life would be!
Wei Changwan nodded and said, "Of course."
"What should we do?" Wei Changjuan asked again.
Wei Changwan glanced at her, wiped the ashes on her face with a handkerchief, and scolded: "What to do? I will discuss it with my mother when I get back. You are a young girl. We have to worry about these things, so you can Leave it alone!" He said to her again, "It's really unnecessary for you to repeatedly oppose Chang Ying and drag Princess Qingxin into trouble!"
Wei Changjuan said unconvinced: "Every time you discuss how to deal with grandma and Dafang, you avoid me. In fact, I have never talked nonsense like my second brother!"
These words made Wei Changwan frown slightly and said sternly: "Don't say this again! You don't know how many years the second brother has regretted this matter! I still feel ashamed of my father and third brother!"
After Wei Changjuan said it, she felt that she had made a mistake. She bit her lip and said, "Yes." Then she added, "Actually, it was my grandmother's fault. My uncle's health has always been poor. Who would have thought at that time that he could have biological children? Father? She wants to adopt the third brother to her uncle, but she has good intentions! Not only does my grandmother not appreciate it, but she is suspicious of my father. It’s really unreasonable!”
-The thing they were talking about about Wei Changyun's gaffe was exactly the one when Wei Shengyi tried to tell Wei Huan without telling Mrs. Song, and adopted her second son Wei Changsui to Wei Zhenghong. It was a coincidence that Mrs. Song knew about this matter in time. At that time, Wei Shengyi's eldest son Wei Changyun was still young and ignorant, but he could already walk and jump, and the house was full of people all day long. Drilling and running around.
He didn't know where he happened to hear a few words from his father who wanted to give his younger brother to his uncle as a son. Because Wei Zhenghong had been ill for many years, and the place where he lived always smelled of medicine. Children were afraid of taking medicine, so Wei Changyun I felt that if my brother gave it to his uncle, he might have to take medicine every day, which would be pitiful, so he sadly told the people around him about his worries.
As a result, Madam Song’s informant was reported to her during this process. Madam Song became furious when she heard this...
After that, if Wei Shengyi wanted to discuss important matters again, he would have to search the house inside and outside and all the equipment that could hide people before he could feel at ease. Moreover, young children are no longer allowed to participate or observe - Wei Changjuan is deeply loved by her family, but no exceptions are allowed.
However, Wei Changjuan had a filial heart again. Ever since she learned that her father's future was in jeopardy and it was all because of the partiality of her grandmother, Mrs. Song, she always wanted to share the worries for her parents. However, Wei Shengyi did not care how she expressed her position and always regarded her as her She was not allowed to take care of him because of her young age... The more this happened, the more unconvinced she became and the more she wanted to take care of him. This was one of the reasons why she kept staring at Wei Changying and couldn't get through it.
Wei Changwan also knows this, but just by looking at Wei Changjuan's two difficulties with Wei Changying, we know that this sister is more enthusiastic than smart. As the saying goes, a good daughter is better than her parents. Wei Changjuan is the eldest daughter of Wei Shengyi and his wife. The eldest daughter, don’t you know that she is a little clever but really has no overall vision and is not someone who can discuss important matters at all
Otherwise, she wouldn't have listened to everything, except for important matters such as how to deal with Mrs. Song and how to seek the position of the leader of the clan, and not a word was mentioned to her.
At this moment, Wei Changwan didn't want to talk to his sister anymore. He just said: "My grandmother has her own flesh and blood. Unless it is absolutely necessary, who in this world would use her own flesh and blood to fulfill other people's wishes? Wei Changfeng is said to be very smart, and he even worshiped her. Under the sect of Wei Zhijiao, he now has the status of a direct disciple of a famous scholar. It is estimated that in two years his literary name will gradually spread, just like the famous experience of our cousin who passed away last year... Grandma now allows our family Xiaoyao in the imperial capital is because Rui Yutang is declining, and there must be no one to support him in the court. When Changfeng becomes full-fledged, grandma will eradicate us! Since Wei Changfeng is a talented person, if he has a capable and talented wife to assist him, , my father must be in danger! If my father is not good, our family will not be able to get better, so we must not make any mistakes in preventing Princess Anji from descending to Wei Changfeng! From now on, you are not allowed to make your own decisions to avoid bad things. I will go back and discuss everything with my father and mother. It’s settled, you know?”
Wei Changjuan responded with a frustrated voice, and then muttered: "You said something bad about me. If I hadn't been willful this time, how could you have thought that Princess Anji would descend to Wei Changfeng?"
"This was a mistake." Wei Changwan frowned, "Can you expect that you will hit the right thing by mistake every time?!" He added to her, "Then Liu Ruoye is clearly instigating. If you go against Wei Changying, don't let her take advantage of you every time, and think that she is a good person!"
Wei Changjuan didn't think so and said, "Sister, you don't know. Sister Liu has said before that even if I get angry, the gain will outweigh the loss. But I just don't like Wei Changying! Work hard to advance." Go to the palace to apologize to the Queen, and I will also embarrass her!"
Wei Changwan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Liu Ruoye to coax his sister into being so obedient. He became serious: "Why do you believe Liu Ruoye and not me?!" (To be continued)
