Chapter 623 I wish you happiness...
"Ah..." Wenjiu couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. He then handed the row of cherries on the table to Liusu beside him and said, "Go quickly and take them to Ulanzhu Gege. Tell her to eat more. Ask her what she wants to eat and I'll make it for her later."
The Crown Princess still had a cherry in her hand. She glanced at Wen Jiu sideways and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you heartbroken?"
Wen Jiu glanced at the Crown Princess: "Aren't you also heartbroken?"
This time, the two looked at each other for a long time without saying a word.
After a long while, the Crown Princess finally let out a long sigh and said, "So, you understand my desire for my daughter to master martial arts, right?"
Wen Jiu exhaled, squeezed the Crown Princess's hand, and said directly: "Maybe there are exceptions."
Having said that, Wen Jiu actually knew that in history, the daughter of the Crown Princess could not escape the fate of marrying far away.
During the Qing Dynasty, there were so many princesses and princesses who married into other regions that they couldn't even be counted on one hand. Rong'er wasn't one of those unexpected ones.
The Crown Princess gave a bitter laugh: "Emperor Father's daughters are not exempt from this rule, so how can I expect others to be? As for me, as long as my Rong'er is strong enough, so strong that even if she is from a different race, no one dares to hurt her in the slightest."
Wen Jiu squeezed the Crown Princess's hand: "...Okay."
The two of them were whispering to each other, and the people below couldn't help but look over at them.
Especially the Eighth Lady, her face was extremely pale at the moment.
Ever since she entered the hall and saw the princesses and wives coming up to greet the Crown Princess and Wen Jiu from time to time, she knew Wen Jiu's identity.
Speaking of which, in this hall today, apart from the Crown Princess and two older princesses, the person with the highest status is her third sister-in-law.
Logically speaking, the eldest sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law are all wives of princes. Their status is equal.
The eldest sister-in-law hadn't arrived yet because of something that delayed her. Her third sister-in-law was really a loser, not favored, and people looked at her as if they had never seen her before.
The fourth sister-in-law didn't even come out.
Instead, she was warming the wine. As a concubine, everyone was being very polite to her. Even the Princess of Kang was talking to her, appearing quite accommodating. Clearly, Princess of Kang wasn't the only one interested in getting close.
Although it had been guessed long ago, the Eighth Lady's expression did not look very good at this moment.
The maidservant nearby saw this and couldn't help but come over to offer some advice: "Fujin, you haven't said anything too extreme. Bring her some gifts in a few days. You're the legitimate wife, and your social status is far superior to hers. If you lower yourself and speak to her kindly, I'm sure she won't refuse you."
The Eighth Concubine pursed her lips and said, "You still remember that I'm the legitimate wife? If you try to please a concubine in such a humble way, won't others laugh at you?"
The nanny beside her was stunned for a moment, then she said earnestly: "Fujin, this wine warming is different from the ordinary concubine's. Let's be more humble and not be embarrassed."
Upon hearing this, the Eighth Lady rubbed her handkerchief in annoyance, then finally frowned and said, "Her family background isn't great, so she probably doesn't have a lot of money. Let's find some gold and silver and give it to her. Just turn the page."
When the nanny heard this, she smiled and said, "Oh, Fu Jin is wise."
Eighth Lady: "I hope she'll be more sensible."
Nanny: "I'm sure Concubine Wen won't be embarrassed. What's your status, Concubine? Besides, you have very good relationships with the masters. I'm sure Concubine Wen knows this, so why would she embarrass you? If we send her something, she might not be able to make friends with us in time. After all, her family background is not good."
After hearing this, the Eighth Lady's expression brightened slightly. "I only sent the gift because I didn't want to offend her. As for making friends, let's forget about it."
"A-choo!"
Wenjiu sneezed, rubbed his nose, and looked at Liusu beside him, asking, "What did Wulanzhugege say?"
Liusu: "Replying to Consort, Wulanzhu Gege said she thanked you for the cherries, but she didn't have much of an appetite for the time being. She said she would come back to thank you in a couple of days, but she wanted to leave today. Could you please let me come and tell you and the Crown Princess?"
Wenjiu exhaled and said directly: "Let Dashao send her off."
The Crown Princess turned her head and looked over: "It would be better if she went back earlier, so that she wouldn't have to stay here and worry."
Wenjiu nodded immediately, and she and the Crown Princess sat there until almost noon when they heard the sound of firecrackers.
Jiu Ye returned with his bride, followed by his brothers, a prince and a minister.
Jiu Ye seemed particularly high-spirited today, his smile never faltering. He clutched the red silk tightly in his hand. He was thick-skinned, and no matter how harsh the teasing was, he handled it all with a smile, clearly handling it with ease.
The Ninth Lady was a pretty girl with a slender figure. Later, the Crown Princess and Wen Jiu sat in the Ninth Lady's room and talked to her.
She spoke softly, her eyes and eyebrows were gentle, and when she occasionally heard someone tease her, her cheeks would turn red like boiled shrimp. She looked like a perfect match for Master Jiu.
At night, when the bright moon climbed above the branches, Wen sat in the carriage, stuck his head out the window and waved to the Crown Princess, "Go slowly on the road."
"I understand. You can rest in the carriage for a while. I will leave first."
The Crown Princess was still waving at Wenjiu from a distance in the carriage.
After seeing off the Crown Princess, Wenjiu leaned against the window, looking out bored, waiting for the Fourth Master to join him.
"Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, Eighth Brother, Tenth Brother, everyone has left. Don't stay any longer. Go back quickly."
At the door, Jiu Ye's face was also a little flushed, and he waved to several brothers.
"Haha, Brother Nine, why are you so anxious to chase us away?" Master Ten looked at Master Nine with a wicked smile on his face.
Jiu Ye slapped him on the forehead and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Go away, I've had too much to drink, but I can't entertain you anymore."
Then he gave her another push: "The sisters-in-law are waiting outside, don't keep them waiting for too long, go quickly."
After hearing this, the Fourth Master subconsciously glanced towards the carriage.
From a distance, he saw Wenjiu sticking his head out of the carriage to look at him. He nodded and told Jiuye, "You should hurry back too. Don't neglect the bride." Then he turned around and strode towards Wenjiu.
"Hi, Sister-in-law Si!"
The Tenth Master followed behind the Fourth Master and was very happy to see Wen Jiu. He even waved to her.
Wen Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "Master Shi, are you enjoying your meal?"
Tenth Master: "I'm happy. Ninth Brother is getting married, of course I'm happy."
Wen Jiu: "Just be happy. I wish you will always be happy."
Wenjiu was too lazy to look at the silly Tenth Master and simply pulled down the curtain.
I don’t know how Wulanzhu spent the day, he was really heartless.
Outside, the Tenth Master and the Fourth Master exchanged a glance and said, "Fourth Brother, why do I feel that this blessing isn't a good thing?"
Fourth Master: "...Isn't it good to wish you happiness?"
Master Shi: “…Okay.”
The Fourth Master: "That's fine, let's go back early." As he spoke, he patted the Tenth Master's shoulder and climbed onto the carriage.
