In February, the spring rain fell.
The oil-paper umbrella could not block the rain brought by the wind. When Qin Yao trotted to the small garden again that day, her clothes were soaked.
Wei Tianci saw that she was wet, and without hesitation he took off his coat and put it on her.
"It's still cold, Yaoyao, please don't get sick. How can I concentrate on preparing for the exam if you fall ill?"
Qin Yao felt the warmth coming from her body, raised her head, and met the eyes of the person in front of her.
"Thank you, sir."
Wei Tianci didn't say anything, still looking at her with such affectionate eyes.
Qin Yao wanted to say something, so she followed her lead and said, "Yaoyao was sick a few years ago, so she should be more careful..."
Wei Tianci lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear: "Even if Yaoyao is sick, she is as beautiful as Xi Shi."
Qin Yao's face turned red instantly. Although she had not read much, she had read some storybooks and knew who Xi Shi was.
"Sir, you are too kind..."
Wei Tianci raised his hand and wiped the rain off her face. His palm stayed on her face, stroking it slightly. He murmured as if fascinated,
"Yaoyao...you are so beautiful..."
Qin Yao turned her head away shyly.
For some reason, Wei Shaoqing also said this, but her heart was not beating as fast as it is now.
"Yaoyao..." Wei Tianci called her name again.
Qin Yao said "hmm".
"Can I kiss you?"
Qin Yao looked surprised, her cherry-like mouth slightly open.
Wei Tianci put his other hand around her waist, brought her into his arms, looked down at her, and asked her seductively:
"Yaoyao, are you willing?"
Qin Yao's eyes were blurred.
No one ever asked her if she was willing.
Her sister didn't ask her if she was willing, and Wei Shaoqing didn't ask either.
But Master Wei is such a talented and handsome man, with so many noble ladies in the capital admiring him, and his future is limitless.
He would ask her if she was willing.
But she still had a last bit of rationality left, and placed her soft hands on Wei Tianci's chest, "Master... I can't..."
"Just answer, are you willing?" Wei Tianci understood her psychological defenses. Since she was Yuan Musheng's person, she would naturally be afraid.
"What can he give you? I can give you everything, and even more." Wei Tianci coaxed her.
Qin Yao didn't expect that Wei Tianci actually knew!
Didn't the princess say it couldn't be spread outside? Did one of the servants in the mansion let it slip?
She couldn't hide the shock in her eyes, followed by uncontrollable sadness, "Master... don't you dislike Yaoyao?"
Wei Tianci smiled and stroked her face gently.
"Yaoyao is so beautiful, so gentle, and so smart. She deserves to be with the best man in the world. How can he be worthy of her?"
Qin Yao was completely defeated.
Yes, she is still so young and has such a beautiful appearance. How can she entrust her whole life to a man like Wei Shaoqing who is over 30 years old?
She shed tears because of the sudden happiness, and Wei Tianci first wiped away her tears little by little with his hands.
Then, he lowered his head slightly and kissed her cheek bit by bit.
He asked again, "Yaoyao, are you willing?"
Qin Yao finally nodded, "Master, Yaoyao is willing..."
…
Suddenly, there was a strong wind and rain, and the wind outside the corridor made the bamboo forest rustle.
The few small flowers that had just bloomed on the peach branches in early spring were broken off by the wind and rain, and even the stamens were destroyed.
Outside the small garden, there was no sound except the sound of wind and rain, and no one was in sight.
After the wind and rain stopped, a voice that only the two of them could hear said softly:
"Yao... Yaoyao is willing... to do anything... for you..."
…
The imperial examination lasts for three days, and the Hundred-Day Banquet falls on the second day.
Everyone in the Wei Mansion has been busy preparing for the banquet recently.
The banquet was mainly organized by Gan Tang and Biyun, with Qin Xin helping out.
Qin Xin has been very busy lately and has no time to take care of Qin Yao.
The mansion was busy that day, so Qin Xin asked Qin Yao to go and help.
Qin Yao followed him.
Seeing her beaming face, Qin Xin spoke to her in a personal tone, "Has the Prince Consort been staying at your place these days?"
Qin Yao's eyes slightly dodged, and she only said: "The prince consort will come over the next day..."
I heard that His Majesty finally summoned Wei Shaoqing these days, but he was busy and didn't come every night.
Qin Yao would clean herself up thoroughly every day before he came, and she had been feeling a little weak at night these past few days, but fortunately Wei Shaoqing just thought she was shy as usual and didn't suspect anything.
Qin Xin looked at her sister's beautiful face, thinking about something.
She had a vague guess in her heart that the Hundred Days Banquet might not be that simple and something would definitely happen.
Now that the fact that she and Qin Yao are included in the Wei family tree has not been spread outside, she still has many advantages.
But once the Bai family enters the family, their advantages will be less when they become public.
Qin Xin thought for a moment and said to Qin Yao, "The Hundred Days Banquet is coming up in a few days. You don't like occasions like this, so why don't you go and take a look at the new farm outside the city that my sister bought during those few days?"
Qin Yao thought for a moment after hearing this.
Wei Tianci happened to be taking an exam those days, and she didn't want to serve Wei Shaoqing.
That’s a good idea!
So she agreed, "Okay, then I'll go check it out for my sister."
The two sisters just walked to the gate of Yuan Zhao's yard, and Gan Tang was busy moving something.
Qin Xin stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Miss Gan Tang, is there anything we can help you with?"
Gan Tang bowed to the two of them and said, "There are many things to do for the Hundred Days Banquet. I'm sorry to bother you ladies."
