Qin Yao had just recovered from a serious illness. Seeing that her sister had given herself to Wei Shaoqing, she couldn't help but feel envious.
But she was timid and not as open as her sister.
I don’t know if Lord Wei will accept her since he has already accepted my sister.
Therefore, she has been feeling very depressed these days.
Today, the entire government office came out to receive the imperial edict. She followed behind Qin Xin, trying her best to reduce her presence.
The two sisters and a group of servants knelt behind Yuan Zhao and the young masters. After receiving the decree, Qin Xin looked up and accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure.
His back was as straight as a cypress. Everyone was making noise, but he was the only one sitting there quietly.
His profile is extremely elegant, and his facial features are as sharp as a jade.
Qin Yao stood there in a daze. It was the first time she knew that there were such good-looking people in the world.
As if noticing her gaze, the boy slowly turned around and glanced at her.
His dark eyes were light, as if he was looking at an insignificant person, and the look passed by quickly.
Qin Yao touched her face and stood there in a daze.
I obviously have a very beautiful face.
Even her sister often said that her face was more beautiful than snow, and she had become accustomed to the astonished looks in men's eyes when they looked at her.
But the boy showed no emotion when he looked at her.
She suddenly felt ashamed of herself.
Qin Xin didn't know where she went. She pulled a little maid beside her and asked who the young man was.
The little maid blushed, "That's the eldest master..."
The eldest son Yuan Musheng...
On the way back to Tingyuyuan, Qin Yao kept murmuring this name.
Every time she read it, she felt her heart beat faster.
If... If I could be with the eldest son...
How wonderful it would be...
Qin Xin went to Fengqiyuan.
Gan Tang was directing the people in the yard to pack up various things. When he saw her come in, he led her to the inner courtyard.
Qin Xin looked at the war-like scene and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Gan Tang, does the princess's return to the capital require such a grand ceremony?"
Gan Tang said calmly, "Of course. The princess and the young master are going back to the capital, so they should prepare everything they need."
Qin Xin didn't say anything else and followed Gan Tang into the house.
Unlike the chaotic scene outside, the house was very quiet.
Yuan Zhao was counting some things. Gan Tang was standing behind her, but she didn't look up.
After a while, when Qin Xin was standing there at a loss, Yuan Zhao called out, "Miss Qin, what brings you here?"
Qin Xin bowed and tucked a strand of hair away from her ear. "Your Highness, this servant...this servant came here to ask for a favor from the princess..."
Yuan Zhao put away the things in his hand and asked calmly, "What grace do you ask for?"
"This servant... This servant would like to ask the princess to give my sister and me a place to stay..."
Yuan Zhao raised his head and looked straight at Qin Xin.
Although the look was calm, it was like a sharp sword that could see through people.
Feeling Yuan Zhao's gaze, Qin Xin suddenly panicked and fell to her knees with a plop.
Perhaps it was because she felt guilty, or because she had heard some things in the Wei Mansion recently, or perhaps it was because of Yuan Zhao's natural authority as a superior, Qin Xin was always a little afraid of her.
Yuan Zhao chuckled, "Last time you were in the front hall begging me to give you two sisters a chance to live, and the next moment you climbed onto my husband's bed..."
"You're still trying to ask for grace and a place to stay this time. Are you planning to climb up to the position of my wife?"
She spoke in a calm tone, without any emotion in her voice.
But Qin Xin knelt on the ground with her head on the ground, her body couldn't help but tremble, and she repeatedly denied: "No, no, no!"
"Your Highness, I have no such thoughts."
Yuan Zhao didn't say anything, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Qin Xin raised her head slightly, glanced at Yuan Zhao, and then quickly lowered her head.
She swallowed hard, then said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, I am of humble origin and would never dare to desire anything I shouldn't desire."
"Do you think you can dream of becoming a prince consort?" Gan Tang asked coldly.
Qin Xin heaved a long breath, as if she had made up her mind, and finally said, "Your Highness, I heard that when Your Highness got married, you asked your husband not to take concubines."
"If the Prince Consort was not what this servant desired, he would have the resolve to reject me, instead of being with me... with me..."
As she spoke, she kowtowed heavily. "Your Highness knows this too, which is why he didn't get angry even after he found out I went to the study. I have nothing and hope to find a place to stay. I can only rely on my face. As for anything else, I dare not even think about it."
She hasn't been sitting idle in Wei's house these days.
She carefully inquired about the relationship between Wei Shaoqing and Yuan Zhao, and after careful observation, she had some vague guesses in her mind.
Yuan Zhao didn't seem to care much about Wei Shaoqing.
It is also said that the two have not slept together for a long time, and every time Wei Shaoqing wanted to rest in Fengqiyuan, Yuan Zhao would make excuses for him with various reasons.
Qin Xin is also a woman and can understand women's minds best.
If it is true as the outside world says that the princess and her husband are very loving, how could this happen?
And she keenly noticed that between the two of them, Yuan Zhao was obviously the one who resisted intimacy.
Why is this?
There may be other reasons.
But she knew that it was useless to just use her body to hold Wei Shaoqing.
Men's hearts are too fickle. If he can be seduced by her today, he can be seduced by someone else tomorrow.
So she had to find another big tree to lean on.
But unexpectedly, Yuan Zhao had already known about her and Wei Shaoqing, but had kept it to himself.
Thinking of this, Qin Xin was glad that she came to see Yuan Zhao today.
After Qin Xin finished speaking, she kept her head down and lay on the ground.
Suddenly, a chuckle came from above my head, "You are quite smart."
"Look up."
Qin Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly raised her head.
Yuan Zhao looked at the people kneeling in front of him, the sisters Qin Xin and Qin Yao. They were indeed good-looking, pretty and young, exactly the type that a man of Wei Shaoqing's age liked.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, finding it very interesting.
Originally, I wanted to let Qin Xin and Bai Ruyue compete with each other from a distance, but now it seems that Qin Xin and Bai Ruyue are different and will not just cling to Wei Shaoqing.
"Since you don't want to be the wife of the main wife, then you want to be a concubine?"
"But you know, my prince consort cannot take concubines." Yuan Zhao asked casually.
Qin Xin lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, "This servant doesn't need a title..."
As long as she holds on tightly to the two big trees, Wei Shaoqing and Yuan Zhao, she will be able to occupy a place in the backyard of the Wei Mansion.
As for status, you can work on it step by step.
Now, I need to make Yuan Zhao trust me.
Yuan Zhao stood up, walked slowly to her, and lifted her chin: "Look at your face, you look much younger than mine... Your waist is also much softer than mine..."
"This is all your capital. I'm sure the Prince Consort will like you very much, more than me, and more than..."
She didn't finish her words, and Qin Xin seemed to understand them vaguely.
But then, Yuan Zhao released the hand that was pinching her chin, with a smile on his lips: "As for status, you always have to fight for it... I can give you a chance, it depends on whether you can seize it."
