Palace

Empress Shen was talking to Princess Han, "Yingying is going to marry in soon, how are the preparations going in your house?" Because Empress Shen valued her grandson Li Xun the most, she asked about every detail.

Princess Han smiled and said, "Please rest assured, mother. Everything is ready. We are just waiting for her to come in." It is not a good thing for a daughter-in-law to have a closer relationship with her mother-in-law, but Princess Han knows in her heart that King Han has not only Li Xun as his son, but his other children are also eyeing her covetously.

It is also because of Empress Shen that Li Xun's position is so important that others dare not compete for him.

It's just a position of princess, so Princess Han doesn't have to worry too much.

Queen Shen is very satisfied with this aspect of her daughter-in-law, she is smart.

It's always easy to deal with smart people. She smiled and said, "It will be Laba Day in a few days. You must be ready. His Majesty may have an imperial decree to announce."

Even though Princess Han was quite shrewd, she couldn't help showing her joy. King Han was about to be named Crown Prince, and she was also about to be named Crown Princess. The road to success in the future was right in front of her, so how could she not be happy.

At this time, Yurong also went to the palace with Wei Xuanning to pay respects to Concubine Wei. It was said that the emperor knew that Concubine Wei treated her nephew like her own son, so he specially ordered Yurong, who was preparing to return home in three days, to accompany Wei Xuanning to the palace.

"You should know the rules. The queen just asked us to go over and ask for peace." Wei Xuan looked at Yurong with his amber eyes and didn't have any instructions.

But Yurong also knew that even though the couple had slept in the same bed for several days, Wei Xuanning still did not let down his guard.

She whispered softly, "If I have done anything wrong and made the queen unhappy, you must speak up for me. I have only been a branch of the Yang family since I was a child and have never met any nobles. I am always a little scared when I suddenly meet so many nobles."

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal." Wei Xuanning then became serious.

Yurong probably felt that she had made the right move, and she had a rough idea of ​​Wei Xuanning's character. This man had been spoiled by everyone at home since he was a child, and it was a blessing that he had not grown up in a bad way. Everyone, including Princess Xin'an, was humble and devoted to him and admired him very much.

It's not surprising that you treat him nicely every day, because he already loves you enough. But if you show weakness and let him help you, he will be happier.

This was the result of her many years of experience as a palace concubine.

Wei Xuanning looked at Yurong. Today, she was wearing heavy makeup because she was entering the palace. However, because she had not yet been granted the title of Lady of Imperial Concubine, she only wore formal clothes, a dark blue robe and a bright red jacket. Such a simple combination actually made her look more outstanding. But at the same time, she was indeed of humble origins.

As a branch of the Hongnong Yang family, the family now has few members to support it, and only has a Princess Han. The entire family only has a few chastity archways placed outside, making it a laughing stock in the whole city.

Even the house of the fourth branch of the Yang family is smaller than his study room of the Wei family.

Coming from a family like this, it was normal for her to be timid.

He sighed slightly and said, "Just follow me."

Yurong felt relieved after hearing this. She glanced at him shyly, and just as Wei Xuanning was looking over, he quickly turned his face away.

The palace where Concubine Wei lived was very magnificent, it was called Duanhua Palace. The buildings here were exquisite and displayed a royal atmosphere everywhere. The tenth prince had already been enfeoffed, and Concubine Wei was only waiting for His Majesty to pass away, and then she would go to her fiefdom to become the queen mother.

The court ladies opened the curtains, and Yurong and Wei Xuanning knelt down on the cushions and kowtowed together before calling Concubine Wei inside. Generally, concubines in the palace were most averse to having relationships with men outside the palace, but today, because of the emperor's order, Concubine Wei was particularly happy to see her nephew.

"Xuan Ning pays respects to the noble concubine."

"Get up quickly. I'm happy just looking at you beautiful children and beautiful wives." Although Concubine Wei and Madam Song are sisters, Madam Song is already a model of a middle-aged woman, while Concubine Wei is very well maintained and is worthy of being a favored concubine.

She looked at Yurong and asked, "Are you Yang?"

Yurong bowed hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I am your humble servant. Today I am accompanying the eldest son to the palace to pay my respects to you and wish you a long and happy life."

Concubine Wei nodded: "He is a well-behaved child. I'll ask you to take good care of Xuan Ning in the future."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. The eldest young master is my husband. As the saying goes, my husband is my God. I will obey whatever he says." Yurong knelt down again.

Wei Xuanning then realized what it meant to be thick-skinned and black-hearted. These past few days, whenever she wanted to drink water at night, she would force herself to get out of bed to fetch water. Just now, she even told her that she didn't know etiquette, but her figure and manners were no worse than those of the maids in the palace.

It's completely lies with eyes open.

Concubine Wei completely believed Yurong's words and felt a little sorry for her. "We only have Xuan Ning in the Wei family now. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders. You should take care of yourself more often."

As a woman, Concubine Wei certainly knew how difficult it was to marry into the Wei family. Moreover, Yang Yurong was not born in a high-class family, so she had to obey her husband. Her mother, brother, and sister-in-law all treated Xuan Ning like a treasure, so it must have been very difficult for her nephew's wife to marry into the family.

Yurong immediately shook her head and said softly, "Yes, thank you for your concern, Madam. The eldest master treats me very well."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Wei Xuanning with affection in her eyes. Wei Xuanning cleared his throat and looked a little uncomfortable. This was even better in the eyes of Concubine Wei. Her nephew was really the focus of everyone's love wherever he went.

After the two were given seats, they drank a little tea and said that His Majesty had summoned Wei Xuanning and his wife. Concubine Wei said happily, "This is great news. Yesterday, Duke Anguo and his wife came to see His Majesty, but His Majesty didn't even bother to see them."

The two of them were about to follow the eunuchs in the palace. Wei Xuanning looked at Yurong suspiciously and found that she was really lying. Even when walking in the palace, she didn't step on the collapsed buildings or walk on the left. She knew how to move and where to stop very well.

You are obviously very smart and can understand everything at a glance, so why do you still say that you have a bad background?

The emperor is already in his twilight years, but he looks vigorous. He is wearing a dark black suit, which is enough to show how tall he was when he was young. He is wiping a vase as big as a jug, and he is wiping it very seriously.

"I, Wei Xuanning, pay my respects to His Majesty and wish you a long and healthy life."

"I, Wei Yang, pay my respects to Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty good health and happiness."

The emperor smiled and said, "Xuan Ning, stand up."

Wei Xuanning stood up in an elegant manner, while Yurong stood beside him gracefully. Her beauty was so radiant that the emperor could not help but take a second look at her, but Yurong remained unchanged.

A beauty is not only beautiful in appearance, but also in her figure, appearance, manners, and even her voice. This is what is called true beauty.

It just so happens that Yurong is such a girl. She has an exceptionally nice voice, and any man who hears it will want to protect her.

What's more, she just stood there, as if all the beauty in the world was on her.

But the emperor was still the emperor after all, so he gave them some rewards and allowed them to return home.

In the alley, Yurong still refused to walk in front of Wei Xuanning, but followed alone half an inch behind him.

Princess Han looked from afar and happened to see this scene. She asked Madam Zhuo: "What is that..."

"It's Sixth Lady. I heard that His Majesty summoned Wei Jingzhao and his wife today."

"Why is Yurong walking behind him..."

The words were spoken so softly that Madam Zhuo did not hear them.

After getting on the carriage, Yurong was no longer the same as before, because the carriage made by Wei Xuanning was really exquisite. It looked simple on the outside, but it was a different world on the inside. She sifted a cup of tea and drank it in small sips, "Finally, I'm warm."

Wei Xuanning saw her sitting crookedly, looking so unruly, and coughed, "You are different in front of others and behind their backs."

Yurong looked at him innocently, "How can you say that? I am just tired from walking too much today. In fact, I owe it to my husband. If it weren't for my husband, I wouldn't be able to see the scenery of the imperial city. I am deeply grateful for the reward from His Majesty today."

Still telling lies, Wei Xuanning also drank a cup of tea silently, "In fact, I think that with your means, if you reveal even a little bit, the palace will not stop you, how come you end up being manipulated by others?"

Is there really another plot?

Yurong was about to cry, "Even if I was born beautiful, what's the use? Since ancient times, beauties are like duckweed. For a family like ours, being beautiful is not a good thing. I know you must suspect that I have other intentions when you see me like this, but I swear, if I really have bad intentions towards you or your family, I will be struck by lightning."

Tears welled up in her eyelashes and her body was swaying as if she was about to fall. She looked at Wei Xuanning with disbelief and turned away, looking stubborn and sad.

Wei Xuanning thought she would get up by herself, but she didn't move when the carriage stopped when they were almost at the Wei Mansion. This gave him a headache. "We're here."

Yurong still ignored him. Her tears had stopped, but she remained stubborn.

"We are already here. Aren't you going to get off the carriage?"

"If you don't believe me, I won't have to enter your house. Instead of being so suspicious, it's better to--"

She's gambling.

That's how life is, if you gamble, you win.

With Wei Xuanning's temper, he should have just walked away, but when he tried to move his legs, they were hugged again. Yurong saw him looking at her, his breath was spraying on her face, so she let go of his hand, just like a little girl throwing a tantrum.

Somehow, Wei Xuanning's heart softened, but he still said harshly, "Why are you talking so much? I've been sleeping for several days. Aren't you very satisfied with me?"

Yurong's face immediately turned red, and she angrily said, "Fortunately I didn't let you take advantage of me yesterday."

Her cute look warmed Wei Xuanning's heart, "Let's go."

Only then did Yurong agree to get off the carriage.

Back in the room, the two of them were at odds with each other. Yurong poked him, "I want to drink the tea you pour. You know, I need at least six cups of tea every day."

Wei Xuanning laughed angrily, "This is what you said to my aunt, you regard me as the most important thing in the world, you little liar, you order me around in circles every day."
