He was so close, Shen Jin's wide sleeves fell to cover her trembling fingertips, and tears broke in her eyes.
Where was the courage that she had before to let him marry her regardless of everything?
"Ajin, listen to me. The Prince of Yan is ready to take action."
Shen Jin looked at him fiercely.
"I was as surprised as you were at the time."
Wei Fengyuan: "But I was more secretly happy."
"He should have rebelled long ago."
"If he had intended, the new emperor would not have been able to ascend the throne so smoothly."
"To be honest, I work for him not only because of my selfishness towards you, but also because of the inhumanity of the Ying family. If the Shunguo Mansion obeys blindly, it will only be swallowed up without leaving any bones." Do
n't feel pressured.
Wei Fengyuan: "This time, many old ministers have joined forces privately."
"Things still need to be planned."
"But, I promise you, with the help of the Prince of Yan, the 200,000 Wei family troops will sooner or later be able to prepare torches and burn down this golden cage that imprisons you."
Shen Jin tried to digest all this.
The Prince of Yan is taking action?
How is it possible?
She wanted to refute, but Wei Fengyuan would never joke with her about such a thing.
While she was distracted, Wei Fengyuan stood up and went to a half-open cabinet.
It was Shen Jin's menstrual belt that she had opened before
, hidden in the small box at the bottom of the cabinet.
On the top, there were silk sheets and bedding for replacement.
Shen Jin's eyelids jumped.
When she walked over quickly, Wei Fengyuan had already arrived in front of the couch and lifted the mattress. The dark red blood-stained bed sheet was particularly conspicuous.
"You..."
She only said one word.
Before she could stop him, he leaned over and took away the dirty bed sheet, and the blood-stained cloth rubbed against the corner of his clothes.
Wei Fengyuan: "Not used to it?"
"You will get used to it in the future."
Shen Jin knew that he was pulling with her.
They were all adults.
Not young anymore.
But he was still the same rogue.
Shen Jin exhaled deeply, and simply went to sit on the chaise longue next to him, and slowly curled up.
But her eyes were looking at him.
Wei Fengyuan was not unfamiliar with such things.
He was away from home for many years, and even though he was of noble status, he did some things by himself.
But it was the first time for him to make the bed for her.
Wei Fengyuan's voice came: "You have never been to my yard. But the rouge, powder and jewelry are all ready inside, and the most fashionable dresses in the capital are also filled with the wardrobe."
"Do you want the veil to be a mandarin duck playing in the water, or a dragon and a phoenix?"
Shen Jin thought thoughtfully.
The peace of mind that she had not felt for a long time flowed in her heart.
Without considering anything else, her eyes became gentle inch by inch.
Wei Fengyuan spread out the new bed sheet skillfully, and even smoothed out the wrinkles on the corners.
"Are you still drinking now?"
Shen Jin: "When are you leaving?"
Wei Fengyuan paused slightly: "Come and drive me away?"
The last time she had her period, Wei Fengyuan fled.
But this time...
he was calm.
"The palace is different from other places. It is the end of the year, and the guards are the most strict. I am..." I am
worried that your whereabouts will be discovered by the royal family.
But halfway through her words, Shen Jin felt that she was worrying too much and swallowed it.
Since he was here, he had his own way to get out of this unscathed.
Wei Fengyuan made the bed, strode over and approached.
"Are you still drinking now?"
She was indeed a heavy drinker in her early years. She
drank the most when she entered the palace, which temporarily warmed her sorrowful heart. When she was drunk, even the bells in the corners of her eyes were whispers from old friends.
But her alcohol tolerance is getting better and better. The burning knife rolling through her throat is more refreshing than tea.
Since she can't get drunk, why bother to lie?
Shen Jin was helpless: "No more."
"My father brewed two jars of wine for me and my brother before he died."
"My brother used the jar on the day he married my sister-in-law. Mine is still buried in the ground. We still have to drink the wedding wine, and a few sips can be considered as a relief."
Shen Jin's eyes trembled.
Wei Fengyuan put his arm through her knees and picked her up.
Shen Jin's body froze.
Wei Fengyuan carried her back to the bed and placed her steadily.
Emotions surged in his eyes.
She stared at Shen Jin.
It seemed that she could not see enough.
And the jade pendant was once given to Shen Jin by her, and then Shen Jin returned it after entering the palace.
After many twists and turns, he hung it around her waist again.
"Don't take it off this time."
"The wedding dress is old, so buy another one."
He lowered his head and rested his forehead against hers, the warmth of the candlelight reflected in his eyes.
"Ah Jin, our fate has never been broken."
The two of them intertwined their breaths and looked into each other's eyes.
After all, he was a man.
In front of him was the sweetheart he had been thinking about for many years.
Wei Fengyuan would be lying if he said he didn't react at all.
He just stood up, and suddenly a pair of soft arms wrapped around his neck and shoulders.
Shen Jin raised her head with the force, and her lips touched the scar on his Adam's apple.
I don't know when it was injured.
It looks like it's been a while.
But the last time she saw him off, it was still not there.
She called out his name with some trembling.
The two of them have long lost the immaturity of their youth.
Shen Jin: "When are you leaving?"
It was the same question.
Wei Fengyuan's Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly grabbed his waist and pressed him into his arms, with such force that he almost crushed her.
"Keep me?"
Wei Fengyuan went to find her lips: "If you keep me, I won't leave."
————
The next day.
The main courtyard of Shunguogong Mansion.
After the mother-in-law served the meal, she stepped aside as usual.
The crystal dumplings in the celadon plate were steaming, but Ning Suchan did not pick up her chopsticks.
Unlike the fierceness between Wei Fengyuan's eyebrows, Wei Fengxing added a little more gentleness: "No need to wait for him to return."
"Yesterday he went to the teacher of the Imperial College to pay New Year's greetings in advance. The teacher kept him for dinner, and when his classmates gathered together, he couldn't help but persuade him to drink a few more cups."
"You saw him when he came back. He was still sober, but he was drunk. Let him rest for a while."
Ning Suchan wore a crimson purple woven gold jacket and skirt, and a red gold headdress on her head. She couldn't hide her nobleness, and her body was straight and upright.
"Today is New Year's Eve. After dinner, we have to go to the ancestral hall to worship our ancestors. There are many tedious things waiting for us later. How can he be absent?"
"There is no rush."
Wei Fengxing: "It is not too late to worship our ancestors an hour later."
"No."
"Feng Yuan left the house yesterday and has not returned yet. Since we can't make it together, it doesn't matter if we postpone it."
Ning Suchan: "My uncle is a man of great things. I think he was tripped up by something important. How can he come back?"
Wei Fengxing: ...
He raised his hand and asked the servants to leave.
For the sake of his son, Wei Fengxing chose to drag his brother into the water.
"Feng Yuan went to the harem."
Ning Suchan: ? ? ?
She knew something about it.
She looked at Wei Fengxing in disbelief. She
wanted to say it was absurd.
But...
the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. She felt sorry for her uncle.
"This..."
She frowned, not knowing how to respond.
But she also knew that Wei Fengxing didn't say it yesterday, and it was intentional to say it now.
She remained calm and chose to avoid talking about it.
Ning Suchan: "How can the rules of so many years be broken because of Guizhi?"
She looked at Wei Fengxing disapprovingly: "Husband, you can't indulge him."
Wei Fengxing: ...
If I hadn't known that Guizhi was staying for dinner, he would have drunk alcohol. Ning Suchan made a sobering tea and warmed it up three times while waiting for people to come back. Maybe he would have believed it.
Ning Suchan was about to tell Ru Pozi to call Wei Zhao, when she heard the maid sweeping the floor outside respectfully calling the prince.
She looked over and saw Wei Zhao, whose eyebrows were as clear and noble as ink paintings, entered the room and strode in with his robe corners not messy at all.
He saluted the two of them in a serious manner.
"My son got up late, I hope mother will punish him."
"What punishment or no punishment? Sit down quickly."
Wei Fengxing smiled: "Do you have a hangover and a headache?"
He was about to say that your mother specially asked the kitchen to use glutinous rice, yam and water chestnuts to simmer the glutinous rice porridge until the rice is cooked.
Eating a bowl of it makes the body feel comfortable.
Ning Suchan said calmly: "Considering that you were drunk yesterday, you came not too late, which shows that you care about the ancestors of the Wei family. It is also New Year's Eve, so I will forgive you this time."
Wei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
He bowed with his hands.
"Thank you mother for your forgiveness."
