Wei Yingzhi murmured, not knowing what to say for a long time.
Cousin Hui and Yun Fu are both very good people, but why is she unhappy when they get together
"I see that you girl is deliberately picking on the thorns!" The prince concluded with a smile.
"No!" she retorted subconsciously.
The prince just looked at her with a smile and didn't say anything else.
"That, that, did the imperial concubine really choose Cousin Hui?" She asked worriedly.
The prince couldn't help laughing anymore, Wei Yingzhi was annoyed and anxious by his laughter, and stomped her feet: "You, you said it!"
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, don't worry, mother doesn't mean to match your cousin Hui and Yunfu."
As a matter of fact, Jing'an Bo's mansion still can't meet the mother's requirements, and his daughter is naturally not on the list.
Wei Yingzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and once again let out light on his handsome face.
Brother Prince really looks so good-looking no matter what time it is!
The prince teased her for a while, and the scene of the two laughing and chatting quickly fell on the most trustworthy female officer next to Concubine Rui.
She looked at the two figures, one tall and one lower, from a distance, and after a while, she turned into the main hall.
Concubine Li had already left at some point, and Concubine Rui was the only one left in the hall.
She stepped forward to salute, and then uncomfortably told the scene between the prince and Wei Yingzhi.
"...His Royal Highness and Miss Ying have grown up after all, if there is a relationship between a man and a woman..."
Concubine Rui smiled slightly: "This palace is such a foolish person. The crown prince has already told me that he only regards Ying'er as his own sister. As for Ying'er, it is even more impossible for that girl to have such thoughts."
She wasn't so confused that she couldn't tell the difference between a little girl's sincere admiration and pure appreciation.
"However, you are right to be worried. Since the two parties have no intention of doing so, you must avoid it, so as not to misrepresent any rumors and delay Ying'er's marriage."
"Tomorrow, I will ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to confer a marriage and formally order the Crown Princess."
"Your Majesty is really kind to Miss Ying!" the female officer exclaimed.
"Ying'er, that girl is straightforward and has a clear mind. She's not as crooked as other people. It's the simplest, and it's the easiest to get along with such a child." Concubine Rui's face softened a little.
"Your Majesty likes Miss Ying so much, why don't you marry Miss Ying to Lord Hou?"
Concubine Rui was startled, and then sighed: "Yinger's simplicity is good, but she is destined to be unable to handle things smoothly. If Yunfu is the second or youngest son, or not the only blood of the elder brother, I am naturally willing... "
"In the current situation of the father and brother's lineage, Yunfu's wife must be comprehensive and exquisite, and Ying'er is lacking."
Wei Yingzhi can also be regarded as she watched and grew up. She has always liked this simple-minded child very much. There are too many battles in the palace, so many that she dare not take a breath easily, and only when she is with Wei Yingzhi, she dares to Relax.
If she had a second son of a similar age, she would definitely hire her as his wife for his son, and let her be a worry-free prince and concubine, and continue to keep it simple.
The crown prince sent Wei Yingzhi back to the main hall, but he didn't expect to hear such words from the concubine mother. Seeing that Wei Yingzhi's face turned slightly pale, he sighed helplessly.
This is really unpredictable.
The jokes he said just now had already slowly opened up the little girl, but what the concubine mother said would definitely make the little girl shrink back.
I just feel sorry for his cousin Yunfu, I'm afraid there are still more things to fight for!
Wei Yingzhi didn't know how she got back to the mansion, so she absently greeted the eldest princess, and then went to Shen Xinyan's room to coax Brother Xiang to call her sister, and the little guy finally called her sister in a childish voice. , although the call was not quite accurate, but it was enough to make her jump for joy.
"Brother Xiang is really amazing, you can call me sister!" She hugged her soft and chubby brother and kissed her brother forcefully, her bright and clear eyes smiled into two curved crescent moons.
Her brother Xiang is really the cutest child in the world!
Shen Xinyan looked at the happy siblings with a smile, and after a while, she hugged the younger son, and while wiping his little face that looked more and more like Wei Junhang, she asked her daughter: "What happened in the palace that made you come back?" He also looked sullen."
"There's nothing, there's no sullenness." Wei Yingzhi retorted subconsciously.
Shen Xinyan took a deep look at her, but didn't ask any further questions.
When my daughter grows up, she should have something on her mind...
But Wei Yingzhi was afraid that she would ask again, so she made up a random reason, and slipped away without waiting for her to speak.
Shen Xinyan shook her head helplessly.
Wei Yingzhi ran back to her room in one breath, but saw the maid Xiang'er happily saying: "Miss, look quickly, the glazed eight-treasure box sent by Master Hou is really exquisite, just like the Crystal Palace of Lord Dragon in the script."
Wei Yingzhi was about to take it over and take a closer look, but for some reason, she felt a little awkward: "Put it away!"
Seeing that she was not as elated as usual when she received the things from Yunfu, but let her put them away without even looking at them, Xiang'er was a little surprised, but it was not easy to ask too many questions.
Wei Yingzhi sat in front of the desk in a daze, her mind was in a mess, but Yunfu's face stubbornly appeared in her mind, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't erase it.
"Oh..." She moaned, not knowing what was wrong with herself.
Look inside the house again.
The "Four Gentlemen Among Flowers" penholder on the case was given to her by Yunfu last year, the Jade Rabbit paperweight was given to her by Yunfu at the beginning of this year, and the inkstone that countless scholars have been looking for was given to her by Yunfu last month.
There are also a pair of jade vases on Duobaoge, and colored porcelain teacups on a rosewood round table. Even in her makeup box, there are many jewelry given to her by Yunfu.
Before she knew it, the things that person gave her were almost all over the house
If she didn't think there was anything before, she would have given Yunfu a lot when she was young, and she and Yunfu have always been like brothers and sisters.
She still remembered how thin and weak Yunfu was when he was a child and was easily bullied. If she didn't protect him, maybe how many people would bully him!
"No, I've grown up, I can't be like when I was a child." She secretly made a decision.
Soon, Yunfu found that Wei Yingzhi began to avoid him.
He couldn't figure it out, wondering if he had accidentally offended her again, but he couldn't figure it out.
***
Wei Yingzhi wrung the handkerchief in her hand a little bored, surrounded by several girls who were trying their best to curry favor with her.
Among them was a girl surnamed Wan, she couldn't remember which family's daughter she was, but she only knew that her mouth was really powerful, and flattery came out of her mouth without repetition.
She thought, could this be the tact that the imperial concubine said? Shouldn't it be
His eyes quickly fell on a lone and delicate figure not far away, and he only glanced at him before moving away.
That's Zhou Guanning, who Brother Yue said compared to all the girls in the capital.
All the girls present were from official families. In fact, they were not daughters from famous families. Naturally, no one was willing to play a supporting role for her. Therefore, there was nothing around Zhou Guanning except for occasional conversations with a few girls from lower backgrounds.
Wei Yingzhi thought, maybe this is so beautiful that the heights are too cold
Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhou Guanning was indeed quite beautiful, at least more beautiful than many girls present.
"Yingzhi!" Suddenly someone called her, she turned around and saw Dong Tingru standing not far behind, smiling at her.
"Sister Tingru!" She smiled and greeted her.
The girls around her suddenly smiled when they saw that she was always not salty, and they all looked at Dong Tingru curiously, wondering which girl could make this proud Wei Yingzhi so enthusiastic.
"It's a girl from the Dong family. It is said that her biological mother is an old acquaintance with the British princess." Someone recognized her and explained in a low voice.
"So that's the case, let me just say, if it's an ordinary family, how can we get Miss Wei Si to smile."
"Don't talk nonsense."
…
Wei Yingzhi didn't hear the discussion behind her, but Zhou Guanning, who just passed by, frowned slightly, as if displeased with the different faces of these people in front of and behind them.
"Wherever you go, you are like the stars and the moon." Dong Tingru joked.
"What are the stars and the moon, they are just some flatterers. I really think I am that brainless!" Wei Yingzhi curled her lips.
She can still tell the truth from the fake, otherwise she would have been housekeeping for her mother for nothing all these years.
Dong Tingru smiled and pinched the corner of her mouth: "The clean-eyed appearance you put on really scared me at first."
Wei Yingzhi giggled.
Dong Tingru took a foreign job with his parents several years ago, and did not return to Beijing until a few months ago.
The two chatted and laughed for a while, Dong Tingru was called away, and Wei Yingzhi didn't want to be the moon under the bow again, so she just walked along some quiet paths with few people.
"She is just lucky. If it weren't for her good background, with her temperament, it would be no wonder that someone would want to talk to her!"
"So this is a good life!"
"I don't think she is as good as Zhou Guanning. Zhou Guanning still has a good face. What else does she have besides her family background? Haven't you seen that the imperial concubine and empress don't choose her as the princess?"
"A good family background is also an advantage!" Someone disagreed.
"No matter how good the family background is, but she looks so mean, there won't be any good marriage at first glance."
…
Hearing this, Wei Yingzhi finally recognized that the girl who had spared no effort to smear her behind her back was just that Wan girl.
Then I heard Miss Wan say disdainfully: "It is estimated that the position of Crown Princess has been lost, so she is thinking about the position of Mrs. Zhongyi Hou, and she doesn't even look at herself..."
"So what if I don't look at it?" She slowly turned out from behind the tree.
The complexions of the three women who were gathered together changed, especially that girl Wan, whose entire face was so pale that there was no blood left.
Wei Yingzhi walked up to her, slapped her across the face abruptly, and immediately left a palm print on her face.
"No matter how unbearable I am, I don't act like a ghost in front of a person like you!"
That Wan girl just wanted to fight for prestige in front of her "sisters" who were inferior to her, and vent her dissatisfaction at being ignored by her, but she didn't expect to be caught by her, and she covered her face for a while without saying a word. Dare to argue.
