Princess Changning took the initiative to introduce Wei An to Princess Linjiang for the first time.
Everyone knew that Princess Changning did not bring her eldest daughter with her when she returned to her parents' home. This had long been no secret in the capital's circles. People thought that Princess Changning would still not bring Wei An with her, but unexpectedly, not only did she bring him, she even seemed to suddenly attach importance to her daughter.
Princess Chu held the delicate hand warmer in her hand and blew slowly, then asked Princess Duan who was sitting next to her: "What happened? Why did Changning change his temper?"
Princess Duan was tidying up her daughter's clothes. She looked over when she heard the question and couldn't help but smile and shook her head: "After all, they are biological children. How can mother and daughter hold grudges overnight?"
Are they your biological children
Maybe not? Princess Chu smiled meaningfully, handed the stove to the maid next to her, and lowered her head again.
The affairs of the Huang family had caused her a lot of suffering. Now life in the Prince Chu's Mansion was like walking on thin ice. Her son had already decided to stay in Beijing. She had been feeling heartburned over this matter recently. She couldn't sleep every night and became more and more haggard day by day.
But it was clearly the Wei family and Wei An who were plotting against them. Not only was the Wei family fine, but they were also thriving. It would be impossible for shrewd people like them to believe that there was no trick.
Princess Linjiang didn't know about the lawsuit over there. She just glanced at Wei An before letting him go and saying, "The girls are playing in the shed at the back. There are many warm basins in the shed, so it's not cold. There are also many daffodils. They said they want to hold a daffodil gathering there. You are so young, why don't you go along and play with them? There's no need to be restrained."
Wei An responded respectfully. Seeing that Princess Linjiang had turned to talk to Old Madam Wei and Princess Changning, he and Wei Yulong turned around and went to the pavilion with the aunt from the palace.
Wei Yulong was very quiet on the road until she mixed in with the girls and Chen Mianmian and the others came over. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and spoke softly to Wei An who was holding a cup of tea: "Seventh sister, why didn't Fifth sister come?"
She had agreed to come, but just before leaving she suddenly said she was not feeling well and did not come. Wei An himself found it strange and shook his head truthfully saying he didn't know. Seeing that Chen Mianmian and others were talking about the girl from the Huang family, he listened quietly for a while.
Wei Yulong also seemed to be thinking about something, and asked her, "Is he really dead?"
Burial...
Chen Mianmian responded. Because of her mother's instructions, she was very kind to the Wei sisters. She even winked at Wei An, put her arm around her and greeted the girls next to her: "This is the Fairy Princess. You can just call her Ah Sheng."
Chen Mianmian's father was in a high position of power, and her maternal grandfather's family was also from the powerful Fang family. Princess Chang'an gave her some face, so everyone else also greeted Wei An and Wei Yulong.
Wei Yulong had been away from home all year round, and even though her mother was a princess, she seemed a little unfamiliar with her. She was also a little absent-minded, and she actually handled the situation worse than Wei An. Feixue, who was pouring tea, couldn't help but sigh and was extremely worried.
Fortunately, Lady Xianrong only said hello and shifted her gaze away from the Wei sisters. Although Wei Yulong was not conspicuous, Wei An did not stand out from the crowd. Feixue breathed a sigh of relief and quietly tugged at Wei Yulong's clothes.
Wei Yulong ignored her and followed Wei An closely.
Feixue's heart suddenly rose. Before she came out, Princess Changning had told Wei Yulong to hang out with other girls and not hang out with Wei An, saying that someone would come to take Wei An away halfway...
Unfortunately, Wei Yulong just didn't listen to her... She was getting so anxious that she was jumping up and down when Wen Xiu suddenly came out, glanced at her in panic, and left in a hurry.
Feixue's heart skipped a beat for some reason. When she saw Wei An whispering something to Wei Yulong and sending away the other little girl in front of Wei Yulong, her right eyelid twitched suddenly.
What is Wei An doing? !
She didn't care about anything else, knowing that it would be futile to ask Wei Yulong, so she hurried to find the little girl.
Chen Mianmian leaned on the railing to admire the plum blossoms, and pointed at the plum grove and told Wei An: "There are only male guests outside. I heard that the outside of the plum grove is the garden. Today, the plum grove is the boundary, and the male guests are welcome outside."
As soon as she finished speaking, a little maid came in saying that she was following the orders of Princess Changning, saying that the old princess had arrived and asked Wei An to go out and pay her a visit.
Wei An agreed with a smile. After sending the little girl away, he whispered to Wei Yulong with a smile, "My cousin asked me to come. Mother said that our marriage should be arranged today. Grandmother must have come for this matter. I'll go first."
Wei Yulong pulled her to go with her.
Wei An frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.
Wei Yulong held her sleeve and refused to let go: "I'm not familiar with them, Seventh Sister, please take me with you..."
She clenched her hands very tightly. Wei An looked at her, patted her hands gently, thought for a moment, and then reluctantly agreed and led Wei Yulong to the place the little girl said.
After walking a short distance, Wei An said to Wei Yulong in a low voice with some embarrassment: "My stomach hurts a little..."
Wei Yulong was very understanding: "Then I'll go tell my grandmother and cousin first."
Wei Yulong walked very quickly and disappeared at the end of the trail without even waiting for Wei An's response. Lan He bit her lip, not knowing whether she should be glad that the plan was successful or angry at Wei Yulong for being so impatient.
Wei An, however, stood there nonchalantly, until a soft laugh came from the octagonal pavilion hidden among the flowers and trees next to him, then he looked up coldly.
Shen Chen leaned over and looked at her with a smile: "Your sister is quite easy to deal with. No one needs to push her into the trap. She fell into the trap on her own."
It has been a long time since I last saw Shen Chen. Wei An looked up at him before going up the stairs to the second floor and standing shoulder to shoulder with him. Looking at Wei Yulong, who was only a shadow left in the distance, he raised the corner of his mouth with a half-smile: "This is also good."
There's really nothing wrong with it.
At least Wei Yulong got what he wanted. He was not forced by anyone, but was willing to jump into the Prince of Zhennan's Palace.
Although the status of the Zhennan Palace is much better than that of the Wei family, and it is also related to Princess Changning by marriage, it is still unclear whether Wei Yulong can have an easy life in the future.
Princess Changning protected her too well. Although Wei Yulong was scheming, she knew nothing about the major events outside. She didn't even know that the decree to confer the title of Crown Prince to Zhuang Rong would be issued after the New Year.
If she knew that what she had worked so hard to get was disdained by Princess Changning and wanted to throw it to her, I wonder what she would think.
Shen Chen turned his head and looked at her, then frowned for a long time: "I heard that Uncle Zheng recognized you, congratulations."
This was clearly a conversation for no other reason. Wei An ignored him and asked him, "How are things going over there?"
