Chapter 59: All the girls like handsome men
Zhao Shen said indifferently: "When he saw me sitting in a wheelchair, he felt relieved."
Ji Yunshu knew that although Zhao Heng didn't say it, he was jealous of Zhao Shen in his heart. If he knew that Zhao Shen was pretending to be disabled, he would probably go crazy.
Although it was just an engagement today, there were quite a few guests.
When Ji Yunshu pushed Zhao Shen into the flower hall, many guests had already arrived.
Looking at the elegantly decorated flower hall surrounded by flowers, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, Zhao Heng is really lucky. Look at the day he chose."
Although the weather is hot at this time, it is also the time when various flowers are in full bloom. At a glance, you can see a riot of colour.
Zhao Shen didn't know what he was thinking about, and his eyes darkened.
Today, Yao was wearing a gorgeous crimson dress embroidered with auspicious clouds and Ganoderma lucidum patterns. She looked bright and elegant, yet still had the charm that a woman of her age should have.
Seeing the two of them coming, he smiled very kindly: "I said it was a good thing that Shen Ge'er got married. He looks much more energetic."
Ji Yunshu admired Yao's composure very much. Zhao Shen was more than just spirited. He made Zhao Heng, who was standing next to Yao and was also wearing a red brocade robe, look dull and dim.
It’s not that Zhao Heng is ugly. After all, beauty is the standard feature of the male protagonist in romance novels.
But there was no joy on his face at the moment, and if you looked closely, he looked a little gloomy.
I don’t know if it was because Zhao Shen overshadowed him or if he was just in a bad mood.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but complain. Looking at his expression, someone who didn't know him would think that he was very reluctant about this marriage.
He was not afraid that Princess Taining would see it and change her mind.
Lord Zhao did not pay much attention to Zhao Heng. As soon as Zhao Shen came in, his eyes were fixed on Zhao Shen.
Hearing what Yao said, a relieved smile appeared on her face: "Brother Shen has indeed been in much better spirits since getting married. He has even gone out a few times these days. This is a good thing."
Since becoming disabled, Zhao Shen has locked himself in the yard and almost never takes a step out.
Lord Zhao certainly didn't want him to give up on himself, and he thought of many ways to help him get over it, but none of them worked.
Unexpectedly, he changed as soon as Ji Yunshu entered the house. He either went to the palace gate to pick people up, accompanied her to the farm, and even went to the teahouse several times.
Zhao Shen is a leisurely person, and the frequency of his going out is almost the same as that of a normal person.
It can be seen that he is no longer so concerned about his broken leg.
Therefore, Lord Zhao looked at Ji Yunshu with a little more gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work these days."
Ji Yunshu didn't understand why people thought marrying Zhao Shen was a difficult thing.
Not to mention that he is fine, even if he really becomes disabled, she doesn't need to take care of him personally.
There were only two masters in Qionghua Courtyard, but they were served by more than thirty or forty maids, servants and old women.
Ji Yunshu faced everyone's sympathetic gazes and smiled gently and generously: "This is what I should do."
Lord Zhao was even more satisfied with her.
At first, he was worried that this girl would become spoiled by her family and become arrogant and domineering, and would not live a good life with Shen Ge'er. Now it seems that he was worrying too much.
Young girls all like handsome men.
In terms of appearance, there is no one in the whole capital who is more handsome than his brother Shen.
After greeting the elders who came today, Ji Yunshu pushed Zhao Shen out.
As the wife of the Crown Prince, it is her duty to entertain the young female members of the family.
As soon as he went out, he met Zhao Fu, the daughter of the second wife.
Zhao Fu saw Ji Yunshu personally pushing Zhao Shen, and she stepped forward respectfully and saluted, saying, "Brother, sister-in-law, you are finally here."
Seeing that she seemed to be waiting here specifically, Ji Yunshu asked in confusion, "Are we late? What's the matter?"
Zhao Fu shook her head and said, "Of course it's not too late. It's just that Madam asked me to receive the young ladies from various mansions. I don't have any rules of my own, so I rely entirely on my sister-in-law."
Ji Yunshu understood immediately. There were many guests today, and most of them were of noble status. Zhao Fu was probably afraid that she would be alone and would have trouble explaining herself if something went wrong.
She didn't bother to care about the little girl's little thoughts and asked Zhao Shen, "Can you be alone?"
Since Zhao Shen was here, he naturally had to entertain the male guests.
This was probably the first time Zhao Shen appeared in public since he became disabled, and Ji Yunshu was a little worried.
Zhao Shen knew what she was worried about and said with a smile, "Don't worry, no one dares to disrespect me in front of me. As for behind my back, at most it means I'm disabled. I can handle this."
Ji Yunshu thought about it and it made sense. With Zhao Shen's character, even if he was really disabled, these rumors would not hurt him, not to mention that he was not.
After Jingzhe took Zhao Shen from Ji Yunshu and left, Zhao Fu smiled and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law have a really good relationship."
Ji Yunshu took Zhao Fu to the garden.
The weather has been good recently, so the place for entertaining female guests was directly set up in the garden of the Marquis' Mansion.
Ji Yunshu admired the flowers along the way and replied in a good mood, "Isn't this what all couples do?"
Zhao Fu said, "Sister-in-law is lucky to have met my brother. It's not easy for couples in this world to respect each other like guests. How could they all be so loving?"
Ji Yunshu turned her head to look at her. When the fifteen-year-old girl said this, there was an inexplicable melancholy on her face.
"My eldest sister hasn't even gotten married yet, so why are you lamenting about this?"
Ji Yunshu didn't care much about the young ladies in the Marquis' Mansion, but she remembered that before she got married, the people around her had told her that the girl from the second house seemed to have been engaged and would get married after she reached the age of 15.
Zhao Fu said, "Nothing, I'm just a little envious of my sister-in-law, who can marry whoever she wants."
Ji Yunshu was stunned. This statement contained a lot of information. Could it be that Zhao Fu already had a lover, and not the one she was going to marry?
However, blind marriages were the norm in this era, and Zhao Fu might just not know what kind of person she would marry.
She pondered these things in her mind, smiled and said nothing.
The two soon arrived at the place where the young women gathered. Yao had arranged it very well, and the maids and servants moved around politely.
There were already several young ladies gathered inside playing together.
Xiao Yue surrounded Lu Ningshuang, and the two seemed to have a good relationship.
Ji Yunshu recalled that the last time he was at the princess's residence, Xiao Yue seemed to be beside Lu Ningshuang.
The feud between her and Xiao Yue was their own business, but if Xiao Yue was being used as a pawn to cause trouble for her, that was another matter.
Unexpectedly, this time, Xiao Yue saw that not only did she not move forward, but she also shrank back.
Seeing her like this, Lu Ningshuang laughed and said, "Sister Yue, what's wrong with you? Why are you like a mouse seeing a cat when you see the Crown Prince's wife?"
Xiao Yue stiffened her neck and said, "Who said I was afraid of her? I just... well, I didn't want to ruin Sister Huimin's happy day."
Ji Yunshu felt amused when she saw her timid appearance. This girl used to argue with her at banquets in the palace.
Today is just Wei Yuanmin's engagement party.
She laughed and said, "I don't know when you and Wei Yuanmin became so close?"
Xiao Yue said awkwardly, "Why should I bother you? My relationship with Sister Huimin is much better than yours."
"You don't need to tell me this. The whole capital knows that our relationship is not good."
Ji Yunshu said with a half-smile.
Zhao Fu saw her confront Xiao Yue as soon as she came in, and was afraid that they would quarrel again like before.
If the host and the guest quarrel, the marquis's mansion will become a laughing stock.
