The days passed quickly as Xia Zhiliao was well fed and satisfied, and in the blink of an eye the Xia family arrived.
Xia Zhiliao was naturally very happy to see his relatives.
Princess Yi Yang was also very happy. After all, she really loved her daughter and granddaughter. Seeing them happy made her happy too.
Wei Rong was familiar with the place, but the change in his status made him feel a little uncomfortable.
In this way, he became the princess's relative in a roundabout way.
He treated the Xia family's children as his own, and they treated him as their own father, discussing all matters, big or small, with him.
It was just a title, one he never asked for.
"Get up quickly, we are all family, no need to be so polite." Princess Yi Yang said.
Old Mrs. Xia was still a little embarrassed. She had never thought of becoming related to the princess in her life.
"Your house is not ready yet, why don't you stay here today?"
Old Lady Xia looked at Wei Rong, and Wei Rong said, "Princess, have you forgotten that I also have a mansion?"
"Look at me, I really forgot about this. If you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have gone back and had to go through so much trouble."
"You can't say that. If I don't go back, how can I have a wife?"
Old Mrs. Xia glared at him. It would be embarrassing to mention this at her age.
"Yes, my mother-in-law raised so many children by herself, and each of them was excellent. She also made you, Wei Rong, remember her for so many years. She must be a good woman."
Old Lady Xia felt embarrassed, "Princess, please don't say that. In fact, the second son's wife... has suffered a lot at home over the years."
"I wasn't very good to her before. My child is filial to her, but I feel guilty."
Princess Yiyang looked at her daughter, and Chang Yue smiled and said, "Mother, good or bad is not just a matter of words. You paid for my adoptive parents' medical treatment and burial, and you didn't despise me for not being worthy of Jin Jun because of my background at that time. It was just that I did more work. I think you treated me very well."
This is the case for everyone in the countryside. No one pays much attention to their daughter-in-law, but Old Mrs. Xia also treats her daughter-in-law well in her own way.
It's just that she has a harsh tongue.
"I am so ashamed to say that. I am ashamed to say that to you and your sister-in-law..."
"Sister-in-law is sister-in-law. It's only natural that you feel sorry for her being a widow at a young age. What happened in the past is in the past. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"Yes, Yue'er also told me that the situation was like that at the time. Even if you wanted to be good to her, there was no other way. People should look forward and not talk about the past."
Even if Princess Yi Yang was resentful, she calmed down when she saw her daughter like this.
She had never suffered, but she could imagine it.
Xia Zhiliao looked at everyone and felt that her grandmother was really a good person. She could have easily made things difficult for her grandmother and embarrassed her, but she didn't.
And the starting point of all this is because of her love for her mother.
"Mother-in-law, we will all be in the capital from now on. I just want Yue'er to live in the mansion and accompany me more. After all, we have been separated for so many years..."
How could Mrs. Xia Lai disagree?
To be honest, she had fantasized countless times about the second son's wife not wanting a son. It wouldn't be a problem to find a new princess's daughter, and there would definitely be a lot of men vying for her.
But that didn't happen.
He has several children, but she only has one daughter, and they have been separated for so many years, so naturally he should spend more time with her.
"Princess, this is the right thing to do. We are all in the capital anyway. I miss the children, so I can just ask them to go back, okay?"
"Of course." Princess Yiyang smiled. Old Lady Xia was easy to talk to, so she didn't have a temper. Everything was discussed together. "If you want, let Wei Rong send you over. We can talk."
Old Mrs. Xia nodded and agreed, but what could a country woman like her say to a princess?
I'm sure people don't like to hear the gossip she talks about.
She doesn't understand what others are saying.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Everyone was shocked and even a little panicked.
【Why is the emperor here? 】
While Xia Zhiliao was surprised, his eyes also fell on Xia Jinxiu.
[What should my aunt do? ]
Xia Jinxiu naturally thought of herself, but she still had a glimmer of hope. Besides, she couldn't hide now because the person was already at the door.
Everyone saluted, and Emperor Shunde glanced at everyone, "Oh, it's really lively today. Wei Aiqing has also returned to the capital, how come I haven't heard about it."
"Your Majesty, this old minister...I just returned to the capital, and I'm here to meet my in-laws."
Emperor Shunde smiled and said, "It's true!"
Xia Zhiliao took a quick look and found that Wen Yan had also followed. What was going on?
Emperor Shunde has changed his plan and is no longer going to keep it secret?
"Please stand up. Since Lord Wei has returned to the capital, would you like to be reinstated?"
Regardless of whether it was a question or not, Wei Rong was unwilling to do it. "Your Majesty, I am old and can no longer hold a knife. I should make way for the young people."
Emperor Shunde smiled and said, "I'm afraid you can't bear to leave your wife?"
Old Mrs. Xia's smile was a little stiff. She had naturally heard her granddaughter's thoughts and was worried.
There were a lot of people, and Emperor Shunde only took a rough look at the first glance, but Xia Jinxiu's beauty really stood out among the sisters-in-law.
It's hard to ignore.
Emperor Shunde saw it the second he saw it, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
I didn’t expect that the girl from the Xia family who grew up in the countryside would have such a beautiful appearance.
[It's over, it's over. Are you interested in my aunt? I told you that things wouldn't be that easy. ]
She is not the heroine, so how could she be favored all the time?
Emperor Shunde was not a young boy after all. He couldn't stand still when he saw a pretty girl. He was an emperor and had seen all kinds of storms.
He quickly gathered his thoughts and motioned for everyone to sit down.
Wen Yan saw the little Xia Zhiliao in the crowd and smiled at her.
Xia Zhiliao felt inexplicably flustered. What did this mean?
"Aunt, today is a good day, how about... adding to the happiness?"
[It’s over. You’re not going to let my aunt enter the palace? No way. ]
"Forgive me for being old and slow in reaction. What does the emperor mean?" asked Princess Yi Yang.
Emperor Shunde glanced at Wen Yan, then at Xia Zhiliao.
[Oh my god, no way, it's not for my aunt, it's for me? What a joke, how many heads do I have to compete with Lu Seyan for a man, don't I want to live? Don't hurt me, you might as well kill me with a knife! ]
When everyone heard what Xia Zhiliao said, they also became worried.
Xia Zhiliao was even more confused. Was this Emperor Shunde's intention or Wen Yan's?
"Aunt, what do you think of Yan'er?"
"Yan'er is naturally good, with good character and the most outstanding appearance among the princes."
"He is about the same age as Zhiliao, so I want to marry her to Yan'er because she is your only granddaughter. What do you think?"
