Chapter 1113, The Tenderness of Prince Xiao (Twenty-Five)
In the carriage, looking at Xiao Moxi's cheerful face, Wu Yutang was speechless: "You are so generous that you even gave away the jade pendant awarded by the emperor."
Xiao Moxi paused: "Did you see it?"
Wu Yutang snorted unhappily, "It's not like I don't have eyes!" He paused and said, "Shouldn't you say thank you to me?"
Xiao Moxi glanced at him and ignored him.
Wu Yutang was not happy: "If I hadn't showed up in time, you might not have been able to give away the jade pendant, right?"
Xiao Moxi said confidently, "The presence of you and the Wang family father and son only sped up Yueying's decision-making process. Whether she accepts or not is all because of me, and has nothing to do with you."
Wu Yutang curled his lips in disdain: "Why didn't I realize you were so shameless before? You haven't done anything yet, and you're already calling me by my maiden name."
Xiao Moxi smiled and corrected: "Yueying accepted my jade pendant." On the surface it was a jade pendant, but in fact it was his intention and choice.
Wu Yutang was a little confused: "I thought you would consider it, why are you so anxious to give me the jade pendant?"
Xiao Moxi's expression straightened: "My mother said that when it comes to relationships, you should never procrastinate. If you like someone, you should pursue them bravely. If you are sure that the other person likes you too, then you should express your attitude as soon as possible."
"Yueying experienced great changes in her childhood, and her uncle's family treated her badly. Growing up in such an environment made her heart closed, and it was difficult for her to open up to outsiders."
"Plus, there's a huge gap between her and me. Even if she's interested in me, she'll still hesitate. At this point, I have to take the initiative."
"Giving her the jade pendant represents my firm decision and can calm her wavering heart."
Wu Yutang looked at Xiao Moxi. He knew this guy well, and knew that people like him would be together for life. He sighed and said, "When my family urged me to get married before, I could use you as a shield. But if you get engaged, I'm afraid my family will make a fuss again."
Xiao Moxi looked at Wu Yutang with a smile: "You should have had enough fun these years. Don't you want to find a girl you like and settle down?"
Wu Yutang shook his head: "A pair of beautiful girls might be enough to ease my mood, but if I really marry her, I'm sure it will give me a headache."
Xiao Moxi smiled. Although he did not agree with his friend's idea, he respected his choice and did not interfere.
Wu Yutang looked at Xiao Moxi curiously: "By the way, when did you fall in love with Miss Ye?"
Xiao Moxi was stunned. When did she fall in love with him?
At first, he was just curious and admired Yueying, who was dressed as a man. Later, when he learned about her life story, he felt pity for her and was truly moved.
It was probably when she pushed herself away in the silver mine and he watched her gradually disappear behind the huge rock.
He still remembers the uncontrollable joy he felt when he chiseled away the huge rock and found Yueying in the cave.
It was at that moment that he knew he felt different towards her.
Wu Yutang saw that his thoughts were wandering, so he had to pull him back: "Hey, I say, don't be too happy. I think I saw the old prince's carriage just now. You should be prepared to be interrogated when you get back!"
As expected, when the old prince was mentioned, Xiao Moxi showed helplessness on her face, and she was racking her brain thinking about how to explain after returning home.
Wang's house.
As soon as Ye Yueying returned to the yard, she was called over by Mrs. Wang.
Obviously, the old lady also knew what happened before.
Ye Yueying looked at Mrs. Wang apologetically: "Grandma, I..."
Madam Wang interrupted Ye Yueying and pulled her to sit next to her: "You did the right thing! I know your uncle's abilities very well."
"It's a pity. I didn't teach him well. He has no self-awareness and only wants to move up the ladder. I never considered whether he has the ability to do so. He has become more and more stubborn and extreme over the years."
Hearing the old lady say this, Ye Yueying felt relieved. In the entire Wang family, the only person she cared about now was her grandmother.
Madam Wang looked at Ye Yueying worriedly, "Yingying, tell me the truth, what do you really think about that young prince Xiao?"
Ye Yueying was stunned and held the jade pendant tightly in her hand.
Madam Wang: "The young prince is of noble status, yet he was willing to brave the heavy snow to personally escort you and me back to the palace. This time he said he was going to get an umbrella, but you should know what he was really doing."
Ye Yueying stood up and walked to the red plum vase in the room. She looked at the red plums and said, "Grandma, I'm very confused right now. I don't know what to do about Xiao Moxi."
"I only know that he's a very nice person. When we first met in Liaodong, he was very caring and tolerant towards me."
"Don't underestimate him because he's a prince. He's not arrogant at all. At the time, I was worried about the Ye family, so my words and attitude weren't very nice. But he was very tolerant and never got angry with me."
"He seemed to understand my feelings and why I acted the way I did. He tolerated everything about me but never let me feel any psychological burden."
Looking at her granddaughter's eyes which were getting brighter and brighter, Mrs. Wang sighed secretly.
Yingying must have been in love with Prince Xiao for a long time!
Ye Yueying continued, "Grandma, I don't know why, but when I'm with him, I feel so at ease. He always seems to be able to sense my difficulties."
Just like the jade pendant he gave her today, was it because he noticed her retreat and contradiction, so he suddenly gave her this jade pendant that symbolized her status?
Ever since her parents passed away, she has always felt like a rootless duckweed, but
Ye Yueying looked down at the jade pendant in her hand. However, when she held it, even though Xiao Moxi didn't say anything, she felt a sense of security as if she had returned to the earth from a floating state and had her feet on solid ground.
This jade pendant is Xiao Moxi's silent promise.
Ye Yueying herself was a little surprised. She didn't expect that she would trust Xiao Moxi so much.
Looking at Ye Yueying, whose thoughts were drifting away and who knew what she was thinking, Mrs. Wang moved her lips, wanting to say something, but finally swallowed it back.
At the same time, at the gate of the capital, a large procession of carriages and horses drove into the city gate, and at the front was a luxurious carriage pulled by five fat horses.
"I wonder which prince has come to the capital?"
The five-horse carriage is the standard for the prince's travels.
"Who else could it be? Didn't you see the Weiyuan Palace logo on the carriage?"
"So it turns out that Prince Weiyuan and Princess Weiyuan have returned to the capital."
"I heard that not long ago, Prince Weiyuan and Princess Weiyuan uncovered another case in the south where officials abused their power for personal gain and withheld high-yield grain seeds."
"Over the years, Prince Weiyuan has traveled extensively with Princess Weiyuan and has supervised many cases. I've heard that some local officials, upon hearing Prince Weiyuan's name, become so frightened that their faces turn pale, and they dare not even take bribes."
Compared to the hustle and bustle on the street, the carriage was particularly warm at this moment.
Xiao Yeyang was peeling an apple with his head down. After peeling the skin, he cut it into small pieces and put them in a bowl, then handed it to the mother and daughter who were leaning back to back and reading a storybook.
As for Gu Moyan who was sitting next to him, he was simply ignored.
Gu Moyan was no longer surprised by his father's different treatment. After all, he always had his brother to accompany him.
What a pity! I heard that my elder brother has a lover!
Gu Moyan was a little sad. With a new sister-in-law, her eldest brother would also be cared for. Then, wouldn't he be the only one in the family without anyone to love him?
