When Wei An heard the news that King Zheng was coming and wanted to meet her specially, she was still listening to Wen Xiu's reply.
Recently she has been busy scheming against the Huang family, and has contacted Xie Liangcheng less frequently. Usually the news is passed on by Wenxiu's mother. She never said anything useful before, but that was not the case this time.
Wei An looked up at Wen Xiu in surprise and asked again, "Is the news confirmed?"
She wanted to have someone under her control, and Xie Liangcheng had agreed to this a long time ago, but there had been no news for two or three months. She thought that Xie Liangcheng's current strength was a bit limited.
But I didn't expect Xie Liangcheng to be so well prepared.
Not only did he go back to his hometown and dig out several powerful figures from an uncle who had opened an escort agency outside, he was even able to find old generals who had followed the old King of Zhennan in his campaigns but had retired.
This is no ordinary skill.
But with Xie Liangcheng's mind, as long as he wants to do it, he will be able to do it well.
Ever since Princess Changning came back, Wei An, who used to be very seldom talk, spoke even less, sometimes for days at a time without saying a word. Wen Xiu and the others were always worried about her, but when she was willing to talk, they wished they could say everything in their minds at once and nodded quickly.
He nodded and smiled: "And the Linjiangwang Town also sent a letter back..."
"Yes!" Nanny Wang put down the tray in her hand and came over to drop the hand warmer into her hand: "It's a card, inviting you to the palace on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year."
She straightened Wei An's clothes, sat beside her, sighed, and said, "Miss, I know you are very capable. But no matter how capable you are, you still have your parents to worry about... The princess is not doing this out of sincerity for you, and the old princess is in a dilemma. You should think more about yourself."
Wei An couldn't eat or sleep recently. Nanny Wang also couldn't eat or sleep. They seemed to have aged a few years. Wei An saw that there were many more silver threads in her bunted hair and nodded seriously.
"I have plans. Don't be sad for me, Ma'am." Wei An held Ma'am Wang's hand and said, "You should take care of yourself. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely help you find your daughter..."
Wang Ma's eyes were filled with tears, but she still tried hard not to cry: "It's been so many years, and she married far away. Who knows if she is still alive. Let's not talk about this. If you are fine, I will be fine too."
It was New Year's Day, and there was a needlework woman waiting outside to deliver new clothes. Yuqing and Lanhe looked at each other and hurried over to persuade them.
Wen Xiu took the opportunity to lean close to Wei An's ear and whispered, "Miss, there is one more thing. Master Xie said that you don't have to go out. They should come to our house to pay New Year's greetings this year, so you can rest assured."
What are you worried about
Wei An didn't react for a moment. After a while, he realized that Xie Liangcheng didn't want to embarrass her from going out. He probably heard that Princess Changning didn't like her.
The Wei family, which is under so much attention, cannot keep any secrets. What's more, Princess Changning does not want to hide any secrets and wants everyone in the world to know that she dislikes herself.
The news that Princess Changning returned to Beijing but did not bring her to see the old princess must have spread throughout the world.
Wei An had a headache.
Just as he was about to ask Lan He to invite the people from the sewing room in, Yu Qing suddenly came in and said that Zi Yu was here.
As Qingyu gradually grew older, her subordinate Ziyu interacted more frequently with other masters, but this was the first time he came to Wei'an's room.
Wei An was a little confused, then nodded and asked someone to bring Zi Yu in.
Zi Yu was prettier than Qing Yu. The servants in the old lady's room were always very well-behaved. She only had two or three pearl flowers on her head and a blue silk ribbon around her waist. Apart from that, she only had a gold bracelet and no other jewelry.
As soon as she entered the room, she greeted Wei An first, but her usual tactfulness was gone. After greeting, she immediately ordered Nanny Wang and Lan He: "Quick, change the girl's clothes! There are guests coming to He'an Courtyard..."
On New Year’s Eve, is there anyone still going to someone else’s house
Lan He and Nanny Wang looked at each other, both very confused.
But since Zi Yu was so anxious, they didn't dare to delay and agreed quickly.
Yuqing poured tea for Ziyu again: "I don't know what relative it is? Why did they come to my house at this time?"
The relationship between the maids has always been delicate. A smart person would not be arrogant just because he serves a higher-ranking master. Zi Yu thanked him and drank the tea, still breathing heavily. He patted his chest and said, "It's not a relative... It's Prince Zheng. Prince Zheng came and specifically asked to see Miss Seven. The old lady asked me to invite her..."
King Zheng
After turning around the screen, Nanny Wang couldn't help but pause, feeling a little worried.
There have been constant ups and downs at home in the past six months, with something happening almost every day.
At this critical juncture, King Zheng suddenly came, which is really worrying.
Wei An was much calmer than her.
Last time on the street, facing Cao Wen’s harassment, it was King Zheng who spoke up and saved the day.
This person is certainly not necessarily a good person, but he is not necessarily as evil as the old lady says.
What's more, the Wei family is now deeply favored by the emperor. As a vassal king, he dare not act recklessly without considering the wishes of Emperor Longqing.
The Wei family already had a strong foundation. As long as Wei Yangqing's career was promising, the trend of revival would be hard to hide. It was unreasonable for Prince Zheng to cause trouble for himself again - he had told Emperor Longqing that he wanted to stay in Beijing for a long time.
Thinking of this, she saw that Nanny Wang was panicking, so she shook her head at her: "Don't you know what's going on yet? Nanny, don't scare yourself. Go over there first and talk later."
When leaving the house, Lian Ziyu noticed that Nanny Wang was nervous and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, young lady. Although I don't know why he specifically asked to see you, he seems to be very friendly. I don't know what the old lady said to him, but he didn't say a word the whole time."
Old Lady Wei has never liked Prince Zheng, and she certainly has nothing nice to say to him.
But King Zheng was able to endure it.
Does this person still have a conscience, or is he hiding it deeply
Wei An thought for a while before turning around the corridor, but he ran into Princess Changning head-on and was a little stunned.
Wei Yulong was holding Princess Changning's hand, dressed like a snow doll. When she saw Wei An, she immediately lowered her head, as if she didn't know how to face him.
Princess Changning was much more straightforward than Wei Yulong. She frowned, sneered impatiently, and asked her, "Why are you here?!"
Nanny Wang was angry at her tone, but she was a servant and had no reason to challenge her master, so she had to swallow her anger.
Zi Yu came out to act as a peacemaker: "The prince asked to see the girl... so the old lady asked me to come and invite her."
