Two days passed in a flash. During these two days, Wei Wangqing stayed in his room, reading books, writing calligraphy, and occasionally playing chess with himself. This was something the original owner of the body often did, and it was also something Wei Wangqing liked to do.
Wei Wangqing thought that fortunately, he had practiced calligraphy since childhood in his previous life, and his grandfather was also a great calligrapher. Wei Wangqing himself knew many different styles of calligraphy, so imitating someone's handwriting was not difficult for him.
Bringing her thoughts back, the green branch had already begun selecting clothes for His Highness.
Wei Wangqing looked at herself in the mirror and thought to herself, "Wow, clothes really do make the man." With this makeover, her originally pretty face had taken on a stunningly beautiful look.
The nanny laughed heartily upon seeing this: "My prince is so handsome, I'm afraid all the good men in the capital will be captivated by him!"
Wei Wangqing smiled and said, "Daddy, don't tease me." Before transmigrating, Wei Wangqing had been single since birth! She was a good girl, obedient to her family during her school years, and naturally wouldn't date early. In university and at work, there were more women than men, and coupled with her introverted nature, she was practically immune to men! She outwardly proclaimed her desire to find a partner, but the moment someone confessed their feelings, she quickly retreated into her shell, terrified—of course, dislike was also a factor.
“Your Highness, I’m not joking, this is the truth!” the wet nurse said affectionately.
"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and go, lest we get late," Wei Wangqing said hastily, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation.
A carriage left the Princess's residence and headed towards the palace.
This time, the guards didn't stop them, but they happened to run into the Third Princess, Wei Sijin, when they got out of the carriage.
"Sixth Sister, how have you been adjusting to life back in the capital these past few days?" the Third Princess asked with a smile.
"Everything is fine, thanks to Father Empress for arranging everything so well," Wei Wangqing replied gently.
"Oh, that's good. Just don't pay attention to the rumors circulating in the capital these past two days!" The Third Princess patted Wei Wangqing on the shoulder to comfort him.
"What rumors?" Wei Wangqing raised an eyebrow.
"Huh? You didn't know? Look at my mouth, I've upset you." The Third Princess feigned regret.
"It's alright, my little sister will find out sooner or later. Why don't you tell me, Third Princess?"
"Alright, back then Mother Empress said that my younger sister was weak and was sent to another residence to recuperate. But recently, I don't know where the rumor came from, that you, Sixth Sister, are an unlucky person, born with a curse, and that you killed your father at birth. That's why... that's why Mother Empress sent you out of the capital. Now everyone says you've returned. I wonder... I wonder who you'll kill next!"
After the Third Princess finished speaking, she added in a show of solidarity, "Sixth Sister, you don't need to worry about these things. We are all members of the royal family, protected by the Dragon Clan. Why would we be afraid of so-called evil energy?"
Wei Wangqing scoffed inwardly. Wei Sijin's words only confirmed his reputation as a father-killer. She really had given him the title of a cursed lone star. Difficult childbirth in ancient times was truly a curse!
But who would bother spreading such rumors?
Fifth Prince!
Besides Wei Wuyan, there is probably no one else. Since entering the capital, he has only had a grudge against him, and such methods are the kind of things that men of this era would do.
However, the Queen may well be aware of this matter, and might even have been responsible for cleaning up the mess! Hmph!
"That's good. The Empress and my sisters are certainly not afraid. It's just that I wonder who spread the rumors, which have damaged the royal family's reputation. Besides, it's never good to spread only half of what you've said. Back then, the Master said that one could return to the capital after reaching adulthood, so it wouldn't bother anyone." I'm not afraid of these rumors; it's good that there are fewer people getting in the way. But this Fifth Prince, he needs to be taught a lesson.
The Third Princess was also aware of the prophecy from back then. "Could this... be my fifth brother?"
No one in the palace is a fool. Wei Wangqing could guess it, and Wei Sijin wouldn't have much trouble figuring it out either. It's just...why not say it out loud?
This... is probably a showdown with the Crown Princess's faction?
Are you trying to sow discord between me and the Crown Princess?
Ah! The people in the palace!
“After all, Fifth Brother is indeed spoiled rotten by Father and Eldest Sister,” Wei Sijin added.
"Third Imperial Sister, be careful what you say. Let's not talk about these unfounded rumors, lest more gossip spread from our mouths."
Wei Sijin's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered and said, "Sixth Sister is right. Let's hurry into the hall. The banquet will start soon."
After saying that, he lifted his foot and walked forward.
I vaguely heard a soft snort: "Ungrateful."
Meanwhile, at Fengwu Palace.
"Is everything cleaned up?" the man in the hall asked lazily, leaning back in his chair.
"After returning to the capital, those who knew the truth and those who initially spread the rumors have been dealt with. Even if the Fifth Prince is suspected, no one will be able to find any evidence."
"Very good, go and collect your reward."
"Father, isn't this a bit inappropriate? Aren't these people all too innocent?"
"Innocent?" The Queen scoffed. "They're spreading rumors about the royal family. How can they be innocent?"
The princess choked.
"Besides, if we don't clean this up, do you expect them to drag your brother into this?" The Empress sighed inwardly. This eldest daughter of hers, she lacked intelligence and cunning, and was too kind, soft-hearted, and indecisive. And Wu Yan, on the other hand, was spoiled and pampered. These two siblings have been raised too naively!
"Alas, Yan'er's actions were truly ill-considered," the Crown Princess sighed.
"Xiao Wu is all grown up now, she should be properly raised. What do you think of your cousin?"
"What Father means is..."
"Xiao Wu has been pursuing Feng Yue for so many years, it's time for a result. Besides, with my father on the Wang family side, Xiao Wu won't be wronged. It's like a marriage between relatives, which is also beneficial to you."
"This is entirely up to Mother Empress and Father Empress to decide. Little Fifth will probably be overjoyed to hear this news," the Crown Princess said.
"We won't tell Xiao Wu yet, as a punishment for him, and to prevent him from doing something reckless again."
