Chapter 1795 Metaphor
The three of them admired each other for a while. Mingda whispered to Changyu, "Alright, stop imagining it. You heard it last night. Not only Father, but Mother, too, was very pleased. I don't think Lord Wei has any intention of refusing. This marriage is clearly a sure thing."
After saying that, the three of them turned to look at Wei Yu.
Chang Yu stared at him, but tried to lower his voice and said, "Okay, you help me take a closer look and see if there is anything wrong with him. Maybe if we accidentally discover a serious problem with him, the emperor will cancel this marriage."
Manbao said, "I only see the good in him now."
She counted on her fingers and said, "Being polite and upright, gentle and considerate, and knowledgeable are all advantages."
Lian Mingda nodded and whispered, "Sister, if you miss him, the next one may not be as good as him."
Wei Yu, who was sitting not far away, was a little restless. He was keenly aware of the gazes of the three people, so he looked up at them.
But because they were all girls, he only took a glance and then lowered his head. When he noticed that they were still staring at him with their sharp eyes, he began to suspect that there was something wrong with him.
He calmly looked at his clothes and found nothing wrong, then glanced at Bai Shan and the others opposite him. Seeing that they looked normal when they met his gaze, he was sure that there was nothing wrong with his face and head, which he could not see.
So why were they looking at him?
Bai Shan saw that he was on pins and needles, so while he turned around to pour tea, she turned around and glared at Manbao, warning them to stop.
Manbao glanced at the uneasy Wei Yu, smiled, and pulled Mingda and Changyu, and the two of them withdrew their gaze.
Bai Shan and others had studied in the Imperial College, and he and Bai Erlang had even taken exams, although the exams they took were not very difficult and were specially designed for the purpose of imperial favor.
But he was still able to pass on some experience to Wei Yu, so the few of them had a pretty good chat.
Zhao Liulang only looked at Wei Yu with a very critical eye at first, after all, he was entrusted by the prince.
But he and Changyu have no blood relationship. Although she calls him cousin, he doesn't really consider her as his cousin.
The only one present was Mingda, his cousin.
So after talking with Wei Yu for a while, he put the matter of examining him behind his mind and started talking to Bai Erlang.
The group had lunch at the Wei family's house. Wei Zhi and Mrs. Wei entertained them warmly. Manbao and the other two took advantage of their gender to tour the Wei family's house and talked with the Wei family's daughters-in-law for a long time.
By the time they left Wei's house, it was already mid-afternoon.
Manbao got up early and didn't take a nap at noon. Now that he was full, he couldn't help feeling a little sleepy.
As soon as she felt sleepy, she wanted to go home, so she told Chang Yu frankly: "The Wei family is not bad. Madam Wei and her daughters-in-law are easy to get along with."
Chang Yu: "I asked you to look after Wei Yu, why did you go to look after his sister-in-law?"
Manbao took her hand and said earnestly, "Since I have six sisters-in-law and have accompanied my mother in looking for many girls for my brothers, I think the other party's family, especially the temperament of the mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, is particularly important when it comes to marriage."
Chang Yu smiled and said, "I am a princess, and I am different from ordinary people. Even if I cannot decide my own marriage, I will still open a princess's mansion after I get married."
Manbao said, "You still have to interact with your husband's family, right? This is different from making friends. You make friends based on your own preferences, but you can't choose your relatives. If you don't get along well with others, I don't believe you will be happy."
Mingda nodded and said to Changyu, "The Wei family has a clean and upright family tradition, which is quite good."
Changyu began to think.
The carriage arrived at the intersection and slowly stopped. Bai Shan knocked on their window, and Man Bao got out of the car. He turned around and waved to the two of them, "Then I'm going home. You must return to the palace on time."
Mingda and Changyu agreed and waved goodbye to them.
Manbao took the red horse from Baishan, stepped on its back, turned the horse's head and went home.
Old Zhou had been reciting since the morning. When he saw them coming back, he followed them and said, "Today is Little New Year. Why are you back so late?"
Manbao said, "I accompanied the princess on a blind date."
Old Zhou perked up when he heard this. "Oh, the emperor's daughter also wants to be seen?"
"That's right, whose girl doesn't need to be seen?"
At this time, Wei Yucai, who had just seen off the guests, was called into the study by Wei Zhi.
Wei Zhi stared at his son for a moment, then asked, "Did you see Princess Changyu who came today?"
Wei Yu was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
Wei Zhidao: "Your Majesty asked me to talk earlier. He said that you and Princess Changyu are of similar age and have good personalities..."
He signaled Wei Yu with his eyes and said, "Do you understand?"
Wei Yu opened his mouth wide, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. So the reason they looked at him like that today was because...
Wei Yu swallowed, feeling a little tired. "Why didn't father tell me earlier?"
Wei Zhi coughed lightly and said, "I didn't have time. It's not too late to tell you now."
Too late!
Wei Yu thought to himself: He didn’t even have time to look at the person, okay?
He carefully recalled the three girls he saw today. Fortunately, he had good eyesight and memory, and he could still remember what Princess Changyu looked like.
Wei Yu blushed slightly and asked his father, "Has Princess Changyu always been so... lively?"
Wei Zhi said, "Princess Changyu likes polo, and she is also good at riding and shooting."
Wei Yu nodded, understanding what was going on.
The fact that Chang Yu went to see Wei Yu could not be hidden from the Emperor and Empress. The Emperor knew about it as soon as they returned to the palace.
So at dinner that night he asked Changyu, "How is Wei Yu?"
Chang Yu pouted and said, "She doesn't look very good."
The Emperor: "...He's clearly a very handsome young man. Do you think everyone is like Yang Heshu? I've read his writings. His handwriting is particularly good, and his personality is upright, very much like his father's."
Chang Yu asked, "Father, are you annoyed by Lord Wei every day?"
The emperor nodded affirmatively, "Annoying."
Chang Yu then asked, "Then why do you think I wouldn't be annoyed by someone like Wei Yu, who is like Lord Wei?"
The emperor was stunned.
Mingda suppressed his laughter.
The Queen tapped her forehead and said with a smile, "How can the relationship between a ruler and his subjects be compared to that between a husband and wife?"
Chang Yu muttered, "Why not?"
The emperor had a look of disgust on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he felt disgusted. "What nonsense are you imagining, kid? The emperor and his subjects have their superiors and subordinates, while husband and wife are one. How can they be the same?"
The Queen glanced at him, then pulled Chang Yu aside and said softly, "Silly child, just look at Lord Wei and Madam Wei. Do you think they get along well?"
Chang Yu thought for a moment and said, "He seems quite amiable today."
"That's right. Husband and wife should tolerate each other, but between ruler and subject, besides tolerance, they must also insist on doing what is right. Your father is in charge of the entire empire. Wei Zhi wants to be a good subject and supervise your father. That's why they quarreled. But look, even though they quarreled, your father and Lord Wei still love each other, didn't they?"
The emperor was so disgusted that he could no longer eat. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Queen, please spare me. Stop talking."
Good night
