Chapter 125 The only thing in my mind is Shen Shilang's lingering figure, as graceful as a pine tree and as beautiful as jade
In the carriage, Wei Ruyan saw Shen Shilang and the Fifth Prince being guarded.
As the carriage passed by them, Wei Ruyan couldn't help but look back and follow them with her eyes.
She saw the Fifth Prince following Shen Shilang closely, looking up from time to time and talking to Shen Shilang.
Seeing the Fifth Prince looking up at Shen Shilang's profile, he was full of trust, and even a little...admiration? He was a prince!
Emperor Jiacheng had only three sons. The crown prince and the second prince had grown up, and the remaining one was the young fifth prince.
Although the Fifth Prince has no chance of becoming the emperor at present, he is still young, his mother's family is in decline, and he has no power of his own.
Unlike the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, whose mother's family is powerful, he has also built up a lot of power of his own over the years.
But, he is a prince after all.
Especially since Emperor Jiacheng had only three princes, the fifth prince occupied one of them.
It can be said that as long as the Fifth Prince does not commit suicide, his dignity will be limitless.
Such a noble prince actually looked at Shen Shilang with admiration? Wei Ruyan lowered the curtain of the carriage, a little lost in thought.
The man who had been bullied in her home but didn't dare to say anything, looking like a coward, suddenly became a tutor, a top official in the court, which was even higher than Wei Zhaoxian's previous position.
Wei Ruyan clenched her teeth tightly, unable to tell what she was feeling.
The person who was so inconspicuous before now seems so outstanding.
Just now I saw Shen Shilang walking among the crowd, standing out like a crane among chickens.
The black dress was embroidered with gold threads, which gave it an indescribable noble temperament.
Everyone says he is ungrateful because his father had done him a favor, but he brought his father down.
At that time, when her father resigned from his official position and returned home, she was also angry and cursed Shen Shilang together with Mrs. Wei.
But when she saw Shen Shilang again, why did she strangely no longer feel angry? The only thing in her mind was Shen Shilang's lingering figure, as graceful as a pine tree and as elegant as jade.
"Miss, Miss?" Chunyun called a few times.
Wei Ruyan came back to her senses and heard Chunyun say, "Miss, we have arrived at the mansion."
Wei Ruyan said "hmm" and absent-mindedly got off the carriage with the help of Chunyun.
When they entered the main courtyard of the mansion, Wei Zhaoxian and Madam Wei were both there.
Wei Ruyan called out, "Father, Mother."
"It's getting more and more chaotic outside now. If it's not necessary, try not to go out as much as possible." Madam Wei advised her, "Now because our family is distributing porridge, the people are grateful to us and will not harm you. But if the chaos continues in the future, we will have no porridge to distribute. Once people are forced into a desperate situation, they will no longer remember the kindness they once received."
"Your mother is right about this." Wei Zhaoxian nodded and said, "Starting tomorrow, you should not go out."
"Especially when others are hungry, how can we be calm when we see you riding in a carriage and wearing luxurious clothes?" Wei Zhaoxian said, "At times like this, we have no choice but to keep a low profile."
"The court sent people here today. The Fifth Prince and Shen... Shen Shilang came together with guards." Wei Ruyan said, "With the Fifth Prince here, those guards will definitely ensure the safety of Chong'an City and will not let the people cause trouble in the city."
"Even so, you should stay out of the spotlight." Madam Wei said with a straight face, "As a girl, when things were peaceful, it would be fine for you to go out and play. Now that things are in chaos, even if the people outside don't dare to cause trouble for the time being, do you think it would look good if you go out and show off at this time?"
Wei Ruyan stopped talking, but it was obvious from her expression that she was not convinced.
She sat down, the maid looked at the tea, Wei Ruyan took a sip, and then said: "When I came back just now, I saw Shen Shilang and the fifth prince on the street."
When Mrs. Wei heard the name Shen Shilang, her face immediately darkened. "Why mention him? He is a villain who stepped on your father to get to the top."
Wei Zhaoxian seemed not to have heard Mrs. Wei's cold words. He leaned forward unconsciously and asked Wei Ruyan anxiously, "How does he look?"
"I was sitting in the carriage and didn't meet him." Wei Ruyan said, "But from my observation, he seemed to be living a good life."
"The clothes he wears are much more luxurious, and in a short period of time, he has become a top-ranking imperial tutor. This is something that has never happened in any dynasty. If it hadn't really happened, even if someone told me that someone could do this, I wouldn't believe it."
"Besides, when I saw him on the street, he was accompanied by the Fifth Prince." Wei Ruyan couldn't help but sigh, "The Fifth Prince, with such a noble status, was so obediently following him. When he looked up at Shen Shilang from time to time, the trust and admiration in his eyes were not fake."
"Since the noble prince treats him so well, I think he must be living a good life." Wei Ruyan paused and forced a smile, "After all, in just one year, he went from being a top scholar with no background to becoming a first-rank tutor of the current dynasty. No one else can do it except him."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
yes.
Wei Zhaoxian sighed in his heart, even Shen Liangyu at that time had not achieved such a level.
Wei Zhaoxian couldn't help showing a relieved expression. Mrs. Wei saw this and couldn't help but said indignantly: "Why do you still care about his good or bad? After raising him for so many years, you raised an ungrateful wolf!"
Mrs. Wei drank a sip of tea angrily and put the cup down angrily, "You were so nice to him before!"
Wei Zhaoxian couldn't tell his plan to others and cause trouble for Shen Shilang.
Mrs. Wei is really not someone who can keep a secret.
Wei Zhaoxian had no choice but to say, "I made the mistake on purpose this time. If I continue to stay in the army, I'm afraid our family will be gone."
"Even if it wasn't Shen Shilang, there would be others who would report me for my mistakes." Wei Zhaoxian said, "So it's all the same."
"How can other people's ginseng be the same as his?" Mrs. Wei was indignant. "Anyone can ginseng, but he can't!"
"If we hadn't supported him, would he have been able to win the imperial examination? Would he be where he is now?" Madam Wei's face turned red with anger. "Instead of helping you and speaking for you in the court, he actually came out to denounce you and stepped on you to get to the top!"
"I know he hates me, but if he hates me, just come after me! Why would he want to hurt you?" Mrs. Wei said angrily.
"Alright, alright." Wei Zhaoxian had no choice but to persuade him, "At least I'm safe now, and our family is safe, that's a good thing. Besides, he risked his life to save me, you can't forget this."
"Humph!" Madam Wei thought about it, her eyes reddened again, and she choked up, "Every time I think of how you were surrounded by the Turks and almost lost your life, I still have nightmares at night."
"Even if you want to make a mistake and pass on the evidence, you should try another way. Why do you have to go to the point where you almost lose your life?"
