Xihe: It’s impossible to admit it. Asking again is just to strengthen the relationship between mother and son.
The Prime Minister's wife was immediately furious at her "dead pig is not afraid of boiling water" attitude. How could she give birth to such a stupid and willful daughter?
She was very upset: "The Crown Princess will hold a flower viewing banquet in a few days, and take your sister with you then."
Xihe was stunned, not knowing why she changed the subject so quickly.
At this moment, the Prime Minister's wife opened the sandalwood box at hand, and the room suddenly became bright. A set of pearl and jade jewelry was quietly placed in the box. She pushed it in front of her and said, "These are the new products of Ruyi Tower this year. Take a look. Do you like them?"
This look seems like a compromise after being left with no other options.
Xihe recalled that in his previous life, the young master fell into the water and the original owner got a severe lesson from him.
The prime minister's wife called her back home and forced her to kneel in the ancestral hall for several hours, until her knees were swollen. After the prime minister came back, he picked up a rattan stick and whipped her twice. The pain was so severe that the original owner did not dare to go home for a long time.
My life is mainly about comforting people, probably because things are not serious.
Xihe quickly took it with a smile: "Thank you, auntie."
The Prime Minister’s wife: “…”
Out of sight, out of mind. Just wave her away.
After leaving the yard, Wei stared at Xihe from time to time, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
Xihe smiled and didn't ask any questions. After lunch, he went straight back to the house with his maid. When he passed by Chang'an Street, he heard someone selling candied haws and bought two.
After entering the door, I happened to meet the young master in the garden.
The baby was about two years old. He was wearing a red round shirt and a small hat. He was surrounded by several maids and old women who were using rattles to coax him.
As the little guy was looking, he turned his head inadvertently and saw Xihe.
Perhaps the events of yesterday had left a shadow on her, and she immediately pouted and was about to burst into tears.
"Meet the young lady!"
The maid immediately stood in front of the young master.
Xihe licked the bright red candied haws in his hand, nodded, turned around and left.
For several days, Xihe didn't go near the young master. Even when she went to pay her respects, Mrs. Lu told her that she didn't have to go every day, so she really didn't go. As for Meng Yuchuan, he would close the door as soon as it got dark and didn't even wait for anyone.
All these abnormal behaviors left not only the old lady but also Mrs. Lu stunned for a long time.
"Could it be that I scolded too harshly that day?"
The old lady muttered.
Madam Liu was also extremely anxious, wondering if her young lady had become disheartened. But seeing her eating and drinking so well all day, she felt that this was not the case. For a moment, she was completely confused.
Soon, the flower viewing banquet arrived.
Early in the morning, the maids helped Xihe up and started to dress her.
Her hair was covered with clouds and phoenix hairpins, her cape was made of brocade, her eyebrows were black and straight, her eyes were beautiful and full of affection, her skin was as white as jade, her fingers were long and slender, and her nails were trimmed and round... Xihe looked at herself left and right in the bronze mirror, feeling very happy. It seemed that maintenance was indeed useful.
Gouzi chuckled: "How can it be useless to take a bath in spiritual spring water every day?"
All the old dirt was squeezed out.
Xihe had gotten the upper hand, so naturally, he didn't care about its sour words. He just lowered his head to glance at a slightly undulating spot and sighed, "I want a big steamed bun."
The maid didn't understand: "Miss, are you hungry?"
The dog suddenly burst into laughter, ha ha ha, so happy.
After everything was packed up, the group walked towards the gate, ready to take a carriage to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick someone up.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the curtain was lifted, a person sitting upright inside was seen. He was wearing a white robe and holding a scroll. Their eyes met and the carriage was silent for a few seconds.
"Excuse me."
Xihe lowered the curtain and got out of the car.
Lu Wu's eyes were filled with confusion: "Young Madam?"
Xihe looked around but didn't see his carriage. He was surprised: "Where is my carriage?"
Before Lu Wu could react, a bony hand lifted the curtain, revealing Meng Yuchuan's gentle face. "I have something to do in the palace, so it's a good opportunity for me to go with you."
Xihe looked at him for a while, and finally climbed into the car nimbly.
The wheels of the car started turning, and Xihe said "Prime Minister's Mansion". The two people in the car did not interfere with each other.
When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qiang Baowen was about to get in the car, but when he heard that the prince was also there, he hurriedly changed to his own carriage.
Xihe couldn't help but look at Meng Yuchuan. He was wearing a jade crown and his hair was tied up. His tall body took up most of the space. He turned the pages of the book in his hand one by one. He didn't look like a general fighting in a war, but rather like a weak scholar.
As she looked at him, her eyes couldn't help but fall on his face. His nose was so high, his eyelashes were so long, and his lips... were so beautiful.
As expected, he is the one who pressed the male protagonist's father to the ground and rubbed him. He is so handsome.
"What are you looking at?"
Meng Yuchuan suddenly raised his eyes.
Xihe didn't have time to look away and was caught red-handed.
Her eyes wandered for a moment, then she naturally looked away and lifted the curtain: "We've arrived at the palace gate."
The carriage happened to stop at this moment. The maid lifted the curtain, Meng Yuchuan put down the book and got off the car. Xihe followed closely behind him and was about to jump off when a hand was placed in front of his eyes.
Xihe followed his hand and saw Meng Yuchuan's face, then subconsciously looked around.
Several carriages had already stopped near the palace gate. They were all noble ladies invited by the Crown Princess to attend the flower-viewing banquet. Upon hearing the noise, they all looked over here, and then a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
I guess everyone is wondering, Prince Meng, what are you doing?
Xihe also wanted to ask the same question, but this was not a good time to answer the question. She ignored his hand, supported herself on the man's arm, and stepped on the embroidered cushion to get off the carriage.
Meng Yuchuan's gaze paused, and the smile on his lips deepened.
"Husband, Wan'er left first."
After saying that, without waiting for his reaction, he took two quick steps and hurried into the palace with Qiang Baowen.
Meng Yuchuan stared at her back until she disappeared at the palace gate. Then he walked up to the ministers who had been waiting for a long time and said, "My Lords, thank you for waiting."
On this side, Qiang Baowen was panting and hurriedly grabbed Xihe's wrist.
"Why are you walking so fast? There's a dog chasing you."
Xihe slowed down his pace and walked leisurely without answering.
"Hey, why are you so unpleasant? You don't even know how to answer questions when I ask you. Oh, by the way, I heard that you came back that day and got scolded by your mother. Is that true?"
"Didn't you say that the prince ignored you? I see that he is very considerate to you."
Qiang Baowen kept chattering, but Xihe didn't say a word.
She was immediately furious and was about to argue with her when she heard a surprised "Baowen" behind her. She turned around and saw that it was her friend. She immediately forgot about Xihe and ran over to chat with him intimately.
Xihe ignored her and just walked with slow breathing. By the time she arrived at Donggong, she was covered in sweat.
When the Crown Princess heard the palace maid report that her two younger sisters had arrived, she hurriedly stood up to greet them. She first glanced at her third sister who was chatting animatedly with her younger sisters, and then looked at her second sister. This time, she was immediately surprised.
She is not the third sister who is innocent and doesn't care about anything. She has lived in the palace for many years and has met many different kinds of people.
Just from this one look, I felt like this sister had undergone a complete transformation.
