Jiang knew that the prince had come to their house early in the morning and had not allowed their family to receive him in a solemn manner like yesterday. Now, looking at her daughter's slightly swollen lips, she simply couldn't bear to look at it.
The ideas that were so firm yesterday are now somewhat shaken.
No matter how gentlemanly His Highness is, he is still a man...
Thinking of this, her heart began to pound. She stood up and pulled her daughter, saying, "Let's go inside and talk for a while. It's very hot outside."
As soon as the mother and daughter entered the room, Jiang immediately said, "Ran Ran, tell me the truth, did you do anything inappropriate with His Highness?"
Wei Hanzhang covered his lips reflexively, and under Jiang's gaze, he dodged and said, "...He seems to like kissing me so much."
"..." Jiang was silent for a moment. She had never expected that the noble prince, who was so high and mighty, would be so anxious when dealing with her beloved. She became even more worried and asked, "What else?"
"Nothing else," thinking of what happened just now... Wei Hanzhang shook his head and said seriously, "Don't worry, mother. He knows his limits."
Jiang glanced at her and snorted, "You really trust His Highness."
...Wei Hanzhang's face turned red.
She quickly changed the subject and told him her intention: "He said that after we move, we will go to Longzhou Summer Palace to stay for a few months."
"Summer palace?" Jiang smiled and said, "Your Highness has never taken any of your subjects to the summer palace in recent years."
For whom, no need to say more.
Jiang was extremely satisfied. When the prince, who was above everyone else, really doted on someone, it was so much that anyone could not help but look at him with a sidelong glance.
At the court meeting the next morning, Ning Hai read out the imperial edict, saying that the heat this year was unbearable and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would take important officials of the court to the Longzhou Palace to escape the heat.
The accompanying list has also been finalized, and only Wei Heng's name is on the list from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion.
As for Wei Ping, he and Crown Prince Wei Huan missed the opportunity to stay in the summer palace.
For a residence that had just produced a crown princess, this was no different from being slapped in the face in public.
When he returned home, Wei Ping's face was terribly dark, and he called his two legitimate sons into the study to discuss matters.
No one knew what the father and his two sons talked about, but they decided to hold a family dinner the next night.
Even several married ladies from the Wei family, including Wei Hanshuang and Wei Hanye, returned with their husbands.
…………
In the evening, Wei Hanzhang came back from next door and was greeted by Nanny Zhou who was beside Jiang.
"Nine Lady is back."
Nanny Zhou smiled and said, "Tomorrow our second house will move to the Duke's Mansion. There will be a family dinner tonight. Many of the married ladies have returned. It looks very lively. Madam asked me to ask if you want to attend."
Wei Hanzhang paused and asked, "Who is here?"
"All the Wei family girls who are in the capital have come." Nanny Zhou whispered, "Madam wants you to show up so that people outside won't say you are arrogant."
She had just been named the Crown Princess, but she didn't even attend family banquets. Her married sisters all came back, but she didn't even show up. If this got out, people would really talk about her being arrogant.
Wei Hanzhang didn't care about being arrogant, but she still had to consider Wei Heng and Jiang Shi and didn't want to make things difficult for them.
"Got it," Wei Hanzhang nodded and said, "Wait for me to go upstairs and change my clothes."
Since being named the Crown Princess, Wei Hanzhang seldom left her Tingfeng Pavilion, so she did not feel much about the changes brought about by her identity.
Until this family dinner.
The cousins and aunts who had not even attended Wei Hanzhang's coming-of-age ceremony before, came over with their husbands and children to pay their respects to her when they saw her appear this time.
The expression on his face was so flattering that it made Wei Hanzhang understand more about the charm of power.
She grew up in Xuzhou and had only been back in Beijing for a few months. She had met these cousins and aunts before, but they were not close friends. She only had face with them, and after she did not attend her coming-of-age ceremony, this face was completely exhausted.
Seeing that their master didn't want to deal with it, the two aunts who followed Wei Hanzhang stepped forward to block the overly enthusiastic relatives for her.
The two aunts came from the palace and were proper female officials of the third rank. They stood there with stern faces and no one dared to act rudely.
When Wei Hanzhang came out of the encirclement, he saw Wei Hansu standing alone in the corner, looking at this side eagerly with expectation in his eyes. He was slightly stunned.
Wei Hansu's biological mother had no chance to attend the family dinner, and she herself was a timid person...
Thinking of this, Wei Hanzhang walked over and led her, saying, "Seventh sister, please find a seat and take a seat."
Looking around, the sisters Wei Hanshuang and Wei Hanye from the eldest house seemed more at ease. Wei Hanzhang and Wei Hansu sat next to them.
Wei Hanshuang smiled and said after seeing her little cousin sitting down: "Ran Ran is now the most popular figure in Kyoto. Many people want to see you, but you don't even leave the house. Many of them come to me for help."
Compared to the thoughtful and indifferent Crown Prince, it is obviously easier to cater to and please the preferences of a young girl who has just come of age.
Unfortunately, Wei Hanzhang did not grow up in the capital, and there are few people in the capital who are familiar with her. It is not impossible to find a way to find Wei Hanshuang and ask her for an introduction.
"Sixth sister, please stop teasing me," Wei Hanzhang said helplessly, "I really can't stand seeing these people change their faces so quickly."
Wei Hanye on the other side smiled and covered her lips, "They are probably regretting it more than anyone else right now."
"..." Wei Hanzhang was silent for a moment, not knowing whether the 'they' she mentioned included Wei Ping and Liu.
Not wanting to talk about it any more, Wei Hanzhang changed the subject: "Is your two sisters going with us to the palace to escape the summer heat this time?"
Wei Hanye's husband's family, Duke Jiang's Mansion, is a super-class duke, so naturally they are on the entourage list.
Even Yongle Houfu was on the accompanying list, which was why Wei Ping was so unwilling.
They were all marquises with marginalized official positions and were also close relatives of the marriage. Their family, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, had just produced a Crown Princess, but in the end, only their family was left in the capital.
How could he feel good after being slapped in the face by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Shen Yu, who was sitting next to them, did not join in the conversation between the sisters. He just raised his hand and handed his wife a piece of iced watermelon. Wei Hanshuang nodded politely and took it, but did not eat it. Instead, she put it on the bowl and plate and said to her cousin with a smile: "I should go."
Ever since her younger cousin was named the Crown Princess, her mother-in-law, who had come to propose marriage for her nephew and had to return the gifts within a day, has been in a state of panic all day long, fearing that her absurd behavior would affect the whole family. It was not until her name was included in the accompanying list that she felt slightly relieved.
I have had a severe cold recently. I took a test and it was not positive. Thanks to the babies for providing the cough relief method. I tried stewing monk fruit and snow pear soup.
While trying to maintain the update, I am also trying to save up the manuscripts in preparation for the explosion in a few days...
