Chapter 248 Wen Yueyin is obviously the one being bullied by everyone
Wen Yueyin was delighted, "What method?!"
"You can first become a princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then go to the grassland vassal state to marry and become the queen. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"
"You—" Wen Yueyin was furious. "How can I, a precious person, marry a barbarian?! This is ridiculous! Little sister, if you don't want to help me, forget it!"
"You also know that this is ridiculous? You want both, isn't that ridiculous?" Wen Xingluo said coldly, "The royal family is ruthless and not an ordinary family. Not to mention that mother hasn't established a firm foothold in the harem yet. Even if she did, we are not of royal blood, so we can't be crowned princes and princesses!"
She was too lazy to talk to them anymore and just stood up and left.
Wen Rulei said, "Xingluo is right. We took it for granted. Yueyin, you should stop thinking about it and stop nagging me like princess all day long. It's really annoying!"
Wen Rufeng also nodded and said, "Yue Yin, you are indeed a little dumber than Xing Luo. I'll make the decision. From now on, our family will listen to Xing Luo. We must work together to restore the Wen family to its former glory!"
Wen Yueyin pouted in grievance, threw herself on the couch and burst into tears, "My brothers all like me and don't like me anymore! What's the point of me living! If I had known this would happen, when my parents divorced, I should have let my sister continue to stay in the Wen family, and I would have gone to the Zhenbei Palace in her place! I should never have relied on my brothers in this life!"
She cried so softly that she couldn't help herself.
It seemed as if his heart and eyes were filled with the brothers of the Wen family.
Wen Rufeng's heart softened. "Yue Yin, that's not what Big Brother meant. It's just that you are frail and often worried and sick, which shows that you were born to enjoy life. So you shouldn't get involved in such matters. Don't you want to be the queen? When the three of us brothers become successful, we will naturally offer you the position of Crown Princess."
Wen Ruyun also said: "Yes, Yue Yin, Wen Xingluo has a life of hard work, unlike you."
Wen Yueyin wiped her tears and sat up hesitantly, "Really?"
"Of course." Wen Rufeng patted her head lovingly. "Xingluo is used to charge into battle, but Yueyin only needs to dress up beautifully and be our sweetheart. Women, after all, are weak and pitiful, which is why men feel sympathy for them."
Wen Yueyin then burst into laughter.
Three days later.
The ceremony of enthroning Wei Si as a princess was grand and elaborate.
Wen Xingluo and his sister followed her into the palace and lived in Mingzhu Palace.
It was busy until night, but Xie Zhe did not come to stay overnight.
Wen Xingluo used some silver to inquire about it. The young eunuch in the palace said that Xie Zhe was discussing matters with the ministers in the imperial study. In recent years, he had only set foot in the harem a few times a month, and it was normal for him to rest in the imperial study.
Wen Xingluo was relieved that he didn't come. After washing up, she climbed onto Wei Si's bed.
"mother……"
She knelt between the beds, holding the quilt in her arms, and looked at Wei Si expectantly.
Wei Si was in front of the dressing table, taking off her heavy and dazzling red hairpin jewelry.
Hearing the voice, she turned her head to look at Wen Xingluo, a helpless yet indulgent smile on her lips, "You are such a grown-up girl, and you still like to sleep with your mother."
Wen Xingluo arched her brows and said, "I didn't have the chance when I was a child, so now of course I have to seize the time to sleep with Mom."
She liked the scent of Wei Si.
It’s hard to describe what kind of fragrance it is, but it makes me feel at ease when I smell it, and even my dreams become sweeter.
Wei Si came to the bed with a smile and slept side by side with her.
The candlelight is dim.
Wen Xingluo heard her whisper, "This is the palace where I lived when I was young."
The girl was startled.
"Compared to the past, the flowers, plants, trees, pavilions, and halls in the palace have changed a lot. Even the servants don't have familiar faces. The Wei Palace has changed dynasties and it is no longer what it used to be."
The woman's tone was lost.
The lively spring night adds a bit of loneliness.
Wen Xingluo hugged her silently.
As the night deepens, the flowers fall quietly.
Just as Wen Xingluo was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard Wei Si whisper in the spring tent, "When I was young, I buried something under the seventh peony tree in the palace garden. I don't know if it's still there. Ningning, if you ever run into trouble in the future, you can go dig it up and take a look. That thing might be able to help you."
The woman's voice was so light and soft, like the whisper of a peony spirit in the ear.
I feel sleepy.
Wen Xingluo's eyelids were heavy and he didn't wake up, he just vaguely remembered it in his mind.
The next day.
According to the rules, concubines of lower rank should go to Kunning Palace to pay their respects to Empress Mei.
Wei Si didn't let Wen Xingluo follow her and went away in the chariot alone.
Wen Yueyin couldn't help but sneer, "I thought Mother loved you so much, but now it seems that's not the case. Look, she didn't even bring you to such a grand occasion as the audience with the Queen."
Wen Xingluo looked at her like an idiot.
When a new concubine enters the palace and the concubines meet, it is like a war without the smoke of gunpowder.
The mother has no idea how much grievance and contempt she has endured.
It’s ridiculous that Wen Yueyin actually thinks this kind of occasion is grand and solemn!
Wen Yueyin didn't notice the contempt in her eyes at all. She just adjusted the golden hairpin beside her bun and boasted excitedly, "I received an invitation from the Third Princess today. She asked me to go to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the flowers. Did you receive the invitation, little sister?"
The third princess was Xie Xiang, the daughter of Concubine Zhang.
When Wen Xingluo was close to Xie Xuchi in his previous life, he had dealt with Xie Xiang. This woman was spoiled by Concubine Zhang and became spoiled and domineering. She often bullied others by taking advantage of her power and was not someone worth making friends with.
She looked at Wen Yueyin calmly and replied, "The Third Princess didn't invite me."
Wen Yueyin's smile widened. "I thought I was omnipotent, but I didn't expect I'm just this good. Little sister, do you want me to take you with me?"
"In no mood."
Wen Xingluo said this and walked past her.
She is going to the East Palace to find Wei Ying.
"What are you pretending for?"
Wen Yueyin glared at her unhappily, then went happily to find Xie Xiang.
…
Wen Xingluo came to the East Palace and paid the eunuch to report, but was told that Xie Zan had accompanied the prince to the Ministry of Revenue to check the account books today.
"As for Miss Wei," the young eunuch said respectfully, "the Third Master always keeps her by his side and can't leave her for a moment. I believe she has left the palace today as well."
Wen Xingluo felt that he had made a wasted trip, so he could only thank him and walk back slowly.
Unexpectedly, when passing by Taihua Pool, he saw Wen Yueyin and Xie Xiang, who should have been in the Imperial Garden, were here. In addition to them, there were also many noble ladies from aristocratic families.
And Wen Yueyin was obviously the one being bullied by everyone.
She didn't expect that when she happily attended the banquet, she would be greeted with a slap in the face by Xie Xiang.
Xie Xiang ordered the palace maid to force her to her knees, sneering, "Your mother is a shameless vixen. Even at her age, she still seduced my father! You've also learned your mother's shamelessness, deliberately fiddling with the chessboard at the palace's flower viewing banquet, tempting He Yu to teach you how to play! Today, this princess will teach you a lesson about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame!"
She ordered someone to bring a dagger and was about to slash Wen Yueyin's face when, while struggling desperately, she suddenly caught sight of Wen Xingluo and cried out, "I didn't seduce He Yu! It must have been my sister. It must have been my sister who seduced He Yu at the flower viewing banquet!"
Xie Xiang frowned and looked at Wen Xingluo.
