The threat was gone, and Mrs. Gao's illness was almost cured. Gao Shanru changed her usual low profile and put on makeup. Yanjun watched her do her makeup and couldn't help but said, "Sister Gao, you look like you've returned to the old days when you dress like this."
She is generous, bright, charming and attractive. No matter how naughty a boy is, he will like her.
Gao Shanru looked in the mirror, as if she had returned to the past, but fate had played a trick on her. Who would have known that Princess Xin'an would fall so soon? It seemed that she and Wei Xuanning really had no fate. How could people with fate miss each other again and again? It was just a pity for their past. In order to marry her, he burned his feet with moxa, and she waited for him until she was twenty years old.
Everything is missed.
Gao Shanru smiled and said, "Let's go. We can't keep the old lady waiting any longer."
Yanjun happily took her to Ruixuan Hall, and saw Yurong as soon as she entered the door.
Originally, Yanjun did not dislike Yurong at first. After all, Yurong was going to be her new sister-in-law and was so beautiful. But Yurong seemed to be too resourceful. She controlled her elder brother as soon as she arrived and was lukewarm to her. So when she saw Yurong, she just smiled politely.
Fortunately, Yurong didn't care. She smiled and said to Yanjun and Gao Shanru, "Okay, now that you're here, start serving the dishes. The old lady is waiting for you."
The old lady sat at one table with the girls and Madam Gao, while the other daughters-in-law sat at another table. Yurong put down her chopsticks briefly and went to eat at another table.
Originally, the Wei family and the Gao family were closely related. It was she who had arranged the marriage for Lord Gao Xiang. Now, sitting together with Madam Gao, she had endless things to talk about.
"Shanru was the bravest when she was young. I think none of the boys in our Wei family could compare to her."
Madam Gao waved her hand: "Old Madam, please stop praising her. She is just a fool with a big guts."
The two of them still had more to say, probably wanting to mention Wei Xuan Ning, but they felt it was inappropriate and stopped abruptly. Yurong enjoyed this bit, it was quite fun to see you guys dislike me but can't get rid of me.
Anyway, the people in the Wei family are very cultured. Old Madam Wei really believes that the bullets have no lethal effect on her. Yurong even ordered an extra bowl of rice.
Until the end of the banquet, Madam Wei even opened her private storehouse and gave many good things to Gao Shanru. Yurong's expression never changed at all. She really didn't like these things. To be honest, Wei Xuanning's private storehouse was more interesting. Just by looking at one of Wei Xuanning's buttons, you could tell who was the richest.
Her performance made Mrs. Wei feel a little frustrated.
Mrs. Gao and her son left in a sedan chair after they had finished their meal. On the way, Mrs. Gao couldn't help but say happily, "Shanru, our good days are coming. You don't have to be so embarrassed."
"Yeah." Gao Shanru was not stupid. She saw through Madam Wei's method of using the east wind to suppress the west wind. Unfortunately, Yang Yurong did not take any chances at all.
She had heard that Zhang Lingyi, who was known as the second young master in the capital along with Wei Xuanning, had taken a liking to her at first sight. She had thought it was just a superficial attraction, but it seemed that she had a strong character. That was good, that was good...
She can shoulder the responsibility of being the eldest daughter of the Wei family.
After returning from the dinner, Yurong started writing. She couldn't be lazy even if she wanted to. When she was young, she practiced small regular script with flowers, and later she liked cursive script, and now she is practicing cursive script.
"Grandma, would you like me to help you wash up? The light is dim, please don't write any more, or you'll hurt your eyes."
"It's okay, I'll write some more." Yurong immersed herself in it without raising her head, and was not satisfied until she finished this one.
She looked up again and saw Wei Xuanning. His dark eyes were fixed on her. Yurong couldn't help but say, "Why didn't you tell me you came back? Let them help you take a bath first. It's time to go to bed."
Wei Xuanning took the words she wrote and read them carefully, a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to care about the world."
Yurong shook her head: "This is not like having the world in mind, it's just something I wrote for fun."
Since they got married, the couple rarely talked about serious matters. Wei Xuanning looked very tired. After Yurong finished speaking, she saw that his eye sockets were a little blue, and she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you? If you have any troubles, you can tell me."
In fact, Yurong felt that unless Wei Xuanning had the intention to usurp the throne for the Tenth Prince, there was no need to worry at all.
Wei Xuanning looked at Yurong and said, "I have something very difficult to tell you."
Naturally, he didn't want to say this to Yurong, but in his heart, he didn't know if it was because of the skin-to-skin blind dates in the past few days and the words she wrote that made him suddenly say it out.
Yurong raised her eyebrows: "If you trust me, you don't have to doubt me. If you don't trust me, don't show it in front of me."
Suddenly, Wei Xuanning couldn't help laughing, and asked her: "I see that you are very knowledgeable and not afraid of danger. What do you want? Maybe I can help you."
"Me? I never daydream. I do what's appropriate for my position."
When she was a concubine, all she wanted was for the main wife to marry quickly so that she wouldn't have to take the contraceptive pills that gave her stomachaches. Later, she hoped to have children to rely on. After realizing that no one could be relied on, she took a gamble and finally reached the pinnacle of power.
Now that she was in the Wei family, she had to consider protecting herself first and waiting for the future. Besides, why did Wei Xuanning die early in his previous life? It was still unknown, and it was also unknown whether she could stay in the Wei family for a long time.
If she can't stay in the Wei family for long, what should she do?
Wei Xuanning was about to speak when a long-servant outside said, "Master, Mr. Xu is here."
"Well, I'll go right away."
He stood up and hurried out, Yurong raised her eyebrows.
After she walked away, Yurong washed up and took out a letter from the cloak she had put on yesterday. The letter was written by the prince himself and had his personal seal.
She deliberately gave King Han a good deal. Now that he has appointed the crown prince ahead of schedule, the imperial seal must have played a big role.
The letter expressed his admiration for her and asked her what reward she wanted, as the saying goes, "A good father will have a good daughter."
The prince is such a well-rounded person. He can be like a dough ball in front of the old emperor, but the old emperor cannot do without him, which shows how powerful he is.
He did not look down on her because she was a woman. Instead, he showed concern for her and even praised her.
Perhaps it was because he had already become the crown prince and there were no major obstacles. He did not need the woman's help. He just asked her to take care of herself and if she had a hard time in the Wei family, she could come to him for help.
Soon the letter was burned to ashes, and Yurong fell asleep as if nothing had happened.
Late at night, the Crown Princess was taking off her hairpin. Seeing the Crown Prince was exhausted, she found it a little funny: "Today is your good day, but you are so tired, as if you were in chains."
The prince closed his eyes, lying on the bed, and couldn't help laughing: "I changed to a new place today, and I can still fall asleep, which shows that I am still carefree."
"If you are not so careless, why would you suddenly send a letter to Yurong?" The Crown Princess was puzzled.
The prince waved his hands and said, "Forget it. She has helped me a lot. It is not easy for her. If Xun'er was not really unhappy, it would be a good thing."
The Crown Princess said, "Don't be too nice to her. Otherwise, it will be bad if the Wei family finds out and exposes your intentions."
"No, you don't have to worry about the Wei family. At worst, if the Wei family is gone, I can just find a marriage for your niece from your mother's side." The prince was very cheerful.
But the Wei family had to be eliminated. It had been his father's long-cherished wish, and it was also his long-cherished wish.
**
On the other side, when Wei Xuanning returned, he was too cold and was afraid of disturbing Yurong, so he slept on the other side. Suddenly, he saw a little person crawling out from under the quilt and hugging him, and his heart seemed to warm up.
"You haven't slept yet?" he asked.
Yurong giggled, "How can I sleep if you're not back?"
Wei Xuanning hugged her tightly and sniffed her neck deeply, "It smells so good."
He didn't know how to say it. Today in the court, Shen Xing, who came from a poor family, was imprisoned by his father. Shen Xing was a member of the prince's party. His father had always ruled the world together with the literati and the king. If it weren't for the aristocratic families, the current emperor would not have been able to sit on this position.
Why is there so few people in the Wei family nowadays? Most of them are because they fought for His Majesty in the past. Wei Xuanning's grandfather and third uncle both died because of His Majesty, the head of the family. Now that the Wei family has been attacked before the war even started, his father will naturally be the first to fight back.
The disaster that befell Shen Xing was a warning from the Wei family.
Yurong couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? I said you have something to tell me."
"Any kind of trouble is fine?" Wei Xuanning suddenly asked.
"Of course, I will tell you everything I know."
"I said that the prince and my Wei family are at odds. Which side do you want to stand on?"
Uh, she just said it casually, is Wei Xuanning so sincere? Yurong is a person who can handle it if you are hypocritical with her, but she is most afraid of such sincerity.
As for the question of which side to stand on, Yurong smiled and said, "I will stand on the side of whoever treats me well."
"What do you want to be called good?"
"The prince and the Wei family are at odds. It doesn't matter whether I stand on one side or the other. I have nothing. Even if I stand on your side or the prince's side, I can't help at all." Power is obtained step by step. One should not interfere in other people's affairs if he is not in their position.
Besides, things haven't gotten chaotic yet.
Wei Xuanning asked in an ambiguous tone, "So are you going to help the prince?"
He only asked this one question, but Yurong could hear the bitterness in his voice. She smiled and snuggled into his arms, "Of course I'm helping you. What you gave me is much better than what they gave me. Just because you ran in with me that day because you were afraid of missing the auspicious time, I knew that what you gave me was more legitimate than what others gave me."
Wei Xuanning leaned closer to her, and only when her breathing became steady did he slowly throw away the bag of amaranth in his hand.
Unexpectedly, Yurong in his arms suddenly turned over. Wei Xuanning chuckled and held her in his arms again.
Yurong suddenly burst into tears with her back to him, Wei Xuanning, Wei Xuanning, you are so soft-hearted, what can I do?
