117. Chapter 117
Wei Yingzhi squeaked and mumbled, not knowing what to say for a long time.
Cousin Hui and Yunfu are both good people, but why is she unhappy when they get together?
"I see that you, this girl, is clearly deliberately provoking!" The prince smiled and came to a conclusion.
"No!" She subconsciously retorted.
The prince just smiled at her and said nothing more.
"Then, that, did the imperial concubine really choose Cousin Hui?" She asked worriedly.
The prince couldn't help laughing anymore, Wei Yingzhi was so angry and anxious that he laughed, and stomped: "You, you said it!"
"Okay, okay, don't tease you anymore, don't worry, mother didn't want to match your cousin Hui and Yunfu."
In fact, Jing Anbo's mansion still failed to meet his mother's requirements, and his daughter was naturally not on the list.
Wei Yingzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and once again glowed at his handsome face.
Brother Prince is really so beautiful no matter what!
The crown prince teased her for a while and chatted for a while, and the scene of the two laughing constantly fell on the most credible female official beside Concubine Rui Gui.
She looked at the two figures, one high and one low, from a distance, and for a moment, she stepped into the main hall.
Concubine Li did not know when she had already left, and only Concubine Rui Gui was left in the hall.
She stepped forward and saluted, and then disturbed the scene of the prince and Wei Yingzhi.
"...His Royal Highness and Miss Ying have grown up after all, if there is a relationship between a man and a woman..."
Concubine Rui Gui smiled slightly: "Isn't Ben Gong such a confused person? The crown prince has already made it clear to Ben Gong that he only regards Ying'er as his own sister. As for Ying'er, that girl is even less likely to have such thoughts."
She wasn't so confused that she couldn't tell the difference between a little girl's true love and pure admiration.
"But your worries are justified. Since the two sides have no intention, you must avoid it, so as not to misrepresent any rumors and mislead Ying'er's marriage."
"Tomorrow, this palace will ask His Majesty to decree the marriage and formally order the Crown Princess."
"Niangniang is really kind to Miss Ying!" the female official sighed.
"That girl, Ying'er, has a straightforward temperament and a clear mind. She's not as rambunctious as others. It's the most simple, but it's the easiest for such a child to get along with." Concubine Rui Gui's face softened a bit.
"The maiden likes Miss Ying so much, why didn't you give Miss Ying a marriage to Hou Ye?"
Concubine Ruigui was stunned, then sighed: "Ying'er's simplicity is good, but she is destined to be unable to handle things smoothly. If Yunfu is the second son or youngest son, or is not the only bloodline of the elder brother, this palace is naturally willing... …”
"In the current situation of the father and brother's lineage, Yunfu's wife will have to be comprehensive and exquisite, and Ying'er is lacking in the end."
Wei Yingzhi can be regarded as the child she has grown up with. She has always liked this simple-minded child. There are so many battles in the palace that she can't breathe easily, and she only dares to be with Wei Yingzhi. Relax.
If she had a second son of the same age, she would definitely hire her as a wife for her son, and let her be a worry-free concubine, and keep it simple.
The crown prince sent Wei Yingzhi back to the main hall, but he didn't expect to hear the words of the mother-in-law. Seeing that Wei Yingzhi's face turned pale, he sighed helplessly.
This is really unpredictable.
The jokes he made just now have slowly opened the little girl, but the mother concubine's words will definitely make the little girl shrink back.
Only pity his cousin Yunfu, I'm afraid there will be more things to fight for!
Wei Yingzhi didn't know how she got back to the mansion, so she absent-mindedly went to the eldest princess to greet her, and then went to Shen Xinyan's house to coax Brother Xiang to call her sister, listening to the little guy finally calling her sister in a milky voice. , although it wasn't very accurate, it was enough to make her jump for joy.
"Brother Xiang is really amazing, he will be called elder sister!" She hugged her soft and fleshy brother and kissed her hard, her bright and clear eyes smiling like two crescent moons.
Her brother Xiang is really the cutest child in the world!
Shen Xinyan smiled and looked at the two brothers and sisters who were happy together. It took a while for her to hug her younger son. While wiping his face that looked more like Wei Junhang, she asked her daughter, "What happened in the palace, let you come back? He also looked unhappy."
"There's no such thing as being unhappy." Wei Yingzhi retorted subconsciously.
Shen Xinyan gave her a deep look, but didn't ask any further.
When my daughter grows up, she should have some worries...
Wei Yingzhi was afraid that she would ask again, so she made a random reason and slipped away without waiting for her to speak.
Shen Xinyan shook her head helplessly.
Wei Yingzhi ran back to her room in one breath, but saw the maid Xiang'er happily saying: "Look, girl, the glass eight treasure box that Hou Yerang sent is really exquisite, just like the crystal palace of Lord Long in the book."
Wei Yingzhi was about to take it over to take a closer look, but for some unknown reason, she had some differences: "Put it away!"
Seeing that she was not as elated as when she usually received the things from Yunfu, but put it away without looking at it, Xiang'er was a little strange, but she didn't ask much.
Wei Yingzhi sat in front of the book desk in a daze, her mind was very confused, but Yunfu's face stubbornly appeared in her mind, no matter how much she wiped it, she couldn't erase it.
"Oh..." She moaned, not knowing what was wrong with herself.
Look at the house again.
The "Four Gentlemen in Flowers" pen holder on the case was given to her by Yunfu last year, and the Yutu paperweight was given to her by Yunfu at the beginning of this year. It is said that Yunfu gave her last month the inkstone that countless scholars were asking for.
There are also a pair of jade vases on the Duobao grid, and colorful porcelain teacups on the rosewood round table. Even in her makeup box, there are a lot of jewelry that Yunfu gave her.
Before she knew it, the things that person gave her were about to spread all over the house?
If she didn't feel anything before, she would have given Yunfu a lot when she was young, and she and Yunfu have always been like siblings.
She still remembered Yunfu's thin and weak appearance when he was a child and was easily bullied. If she didn't protect him, how many people would bully him!
"No, I've grown up, I can't be like when I was a child." She secretly made a decision.
Soon, Yunfu found that Wei Yingzhi had begun to avoid him.
He was puzzled, wondering if he had accidentally annoyed her again, but he couldn't figure it out.
Wei Yingzhi twisted the veil on her hands a little bored, surrounded by several girls who were trying their best to please her.
One of the girls surnamed Wan, she couldn't remember which daughter the other party was, she only knew that her mouth was really powerful, and flattery would come without repetition.
She thought, could this be the smoothness that the imperial concubine said? Shouldn't it?
His eyes quickly fell to a slender and lonely figure not far away, and he just glanced at the other person and moved away.
That is Zhou Wanning, who, according to Brother Yue, has compared all the girls in the capital.
The people present were all the girls from the official family. In fact, she was not the direct daughter of a famous family. Naturally, no one wanted to play her role as a foil, so Zhou Wanning had nothing else to do except for the occasional girl from a lower background who came forward to talk to her.
Wei Yingzhi thought, maybe this is so beautiful that it is too cold to be at a high place?
Although he didn't want to admit it, this Zhou Wanning was indeed quite beautiful, at least more beautiful than many girls present.
"Yingzhi!" Suddenly she heard someone call her, she turned around and saw Dong Ting standing not far behind her, smiling at her like Yingying.
"Sister Tingru!" She greeted with a smile.
The girl around her suddenly smiled when she saw that she had always been indifferent, and all looked at Dong Tingru curiously, wondering which girl she was, could make this arrogant Wei Yingzhi so enthusiastic.
"It's a girl from the Dong family. It is said that her biological mother and the British lady-in-law are old acquaintances." Someone recognized it and explained in a low voice.
"So that's the case, I'll just say, if it's an ordinary family, how can you get a smile from Fourth Miss Wei."
"Don't talk nonsense."
...
Wei Yingzhi didn't hear the discussion behind her, but Zhou Wanning, who just passed by, frowned invisibly, seemingly displeased with the different faces of these people in front of them and behind them.
"Wherever you go, you are like the stars and the moon." Dong Tingru joked.
"What all the stars and the moon are, they're just some flattering people. I really think I'm such a brainless person!" Wei Yingzhi pouted.
She could still tell the truth from the fake, otherwise, she would have been the housekeeper for her mother in vain all these years.
Dong Tingru smiled and pinched the corner of her mouth: "The innocent look you pretended to be really frightened me at first."
Wei Yingzhi smiled.
Dong Tingru had been working with his parents a few years ago and did not return to Beijing until a few months ago.
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Dong Tingru was called away. Wei Yingzhi didn't want to be the arched moon again, so she simply walked along some quiet paths with few people.
"She's just a good fate. If she wasn't from a good background, with her temperament, it would be strange that someone would pay attention to her!"
"So this is good luck!"
"I think she's not as good as Zhou Wanning. Zhou Wanning still has a face anyway. What else does she have other than her family background? Didn't you see that the noble concubine didn't choose her as the crown princess?"
"A good family background is also an advantage!" Some people disagreed.
"No matter how good the family background is, but she looks so mean, and at first glance, there will be no good marriage."
...
Hearing this, Wei Yingzhi finally recognized that the girl who was trying to smear her behind her back was the girl just now.
Hearing that Miss Wan said disdainfully, "It is estimated that the position of Crown Princess has been emptied, so she thinks about the position of Mrs. Zhongyi Hou, and doesn't look at herself..."
"What if I don't see it?" She slowly turned out from behind the tree.
The faces of the three women who were surrounding them changed, especially the girl Wan, whose entire face was so pale that there was no blood.
Wei Yingzhi walked up to her and slapped her face with a slap, instantly leaving a palm print on the other's face.
"No matter how unbearable I am, I won't be a ghost in front of you like you!"
That Wan girl just wanted to fight her prestige in front of her "sister" who was not as good as her, and vented her dissatisfaction with being ignored by her. Who would have thought that she would be caught upright, and she covered her face for a while without saying a word. dare to argue.
