Chapter 168 - Denial of CooperationWei Yuanwei pressed his hand down, and said with a misty voice, "Your Highness."
This voice of the prince had a long tail, like a small hand was scratching at Yun Xie"s heart. Yun Xie looked at her with a bit of unsteady breathing, his eyes filled with burning pa.s.sion.
Wei Yuanwei knew that Yun Xie had misunderstood him, and could only struggle and say, "Your Highness, you cannot."
The burning pa.s.sion in Yun Xie"s eyes instantly retreated. Just when Wei Yuanwei felt that he was about to flare up, Yun Xie only raised her hand and caressed her silk-smooth hair, "This duke said that I would absolutely not force an imperial concubine. Once he has thought it through, it wouldn"t be too late for this duke to taste the delicious taste of an imperial concubine."
Yun Xie had always thought that Wei Yuanwei was still angry at him for coming here alone to save Wei Guanshu.
"Your highness isn"t like that." Wei Yuanwei told them about Ning Zheyan poisoning him, and said seriously, "If Your Highness tries to force a relationship with me, Your Highness will be the one to suffer in the future."
Yun Xie was silent for a moment, before letting out a hearty laugh, "My w.a.n.gfei is indeed cute. If you aren"t willing to serve this king, this king won"t force you, so why do you need to come up with such an excuse?"
It was no wonder that Yun Xie didn"t believe it. Wei Yuanwei still had something to say, so Yun Xie smiled and placed a kiss on her hair: "Alright, this duke is a little tired, rest a bit with this duke."
In just a few days, the news of Xie w.a.n.g pampering the side consort had spread throughout the entire Mo City. There were even many women who started to imitate side consort"s attire.
A hundred flowers bloomed in the garden of the Duke Palace, the fragrance was extremely fragrant. Wei Guanshu and Liu"er picked up the fresh petals together, preparing to burn some incense. Wei Guanshu"s skill at cooking incense was something that he was extremely proud of, as it had been taught to his personally by his master in the Eastern Chu"s palace. In the entire Eastern Chu, there were only a few who could match his master in making incense.
She listened as Liu"er recounted all of the recent events in the palace, "Miss, a few days ago, the side consort left the palace without permission. Not only did the Prince not punish her, he even carried her back to the manor.
The flower in Wei Guanshu"s hand was crushed. Even though Yun Xie had herself in his heart, after all these years, there was no doubt that she already had that s.l.u.t in his heart. In fact, that s.l.u.t was even more important to Yun Xie than she was.
"Miss, are we supposed to sit still and wait for death?" Liu"er"s face was filled with worry, all of her future glory was related to the young miss.
"Liu"er, is there any movements from the old granny"s side these few days?" Wei Guanshu extended her slender fingers to take down a flower. The old mistress of the Hou clan was not a simple person, and he had schemed against her quite a bit, and now that he had climbed up Xie w.a.n.g"s big tree, she started to have crooked thoughts. All in all, she was trying to take the opportunity to obtain some benefits for the lonely Hou clan.
"A few days ago, this servant saw A"Gui and the others in the manor at the entrance. They seemed to have been squatting at the entrance all along. Who knows what kind of plot it might be. "
They just wanted to find a chance to tie him up and bring him back. After all, not everyone could enter the Evil King"s Mansion.
"Tomorrow, Liu"er will go with me to the streets to buy some good osmanthus oil. These few days, I have been wanting to make some to give to the masters in the Duke Palaces." The corner of Wei Guanshu"s lips curled up into a smile.
Since they wanted her back, she"d let them go.
Wei Guanshu stood up and saw Princess Xi Ya walking over, she immediately went up and greeted: "Greetings, Princess."
The Princess Xi Ya snorted coldly, "There aren"t many people in the Duke Palaces that are actually bowing to me, this consort, right now. I"m afraid all of them have lined up to flatter Wei Yuanwei"s stinky feet."
A gentle smile appeared on Wei Guanshu"s face, "I have never been disciplined before. If I have offended the princess in any way, I, as your elder sister, will consider it my right to apologize to my younger sister."
"Ha!" You seem to know your place, and have heard from the servants that you had some past with the Prince? " Thea raised her eyebrows in derision.
Wei Guanshu pretended to be afraid and prostrated herself on the ground. "Esteemed w.a.n.gfei"s words are merely the tongue of those servants."
Actually, Yun Xie is nothing to me. When I first married into the Duke Palaces, it was only to find a chance to deal with Wei Yuanwei. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I will grant your wish. "
She was only dealing with the one person who hurt Wei Yuanwei, but if this delicate beauty in front of her were to s.n.a.t.c.h Yun Xie away, wouldn"t that be hurting her heart? Xiya"s heart was filled with pride.
Wei Guanshu did not reveal any pleasant surprise, but instead said with a sad face, "Princess Xi Ya seems to have misunderstood me a little. Shangguan Ru only wants a place to stay, and does not wish for anything else."
"Humph!" "Mud that can"t support a wall!" Sisi"s eyes were filled with ridicule. She thought that Wei Guanshu would be like a tiger who had added wings to a tiger, but she never thought that Wei Guanshu was just a coward.
After seeing the Princess Xi Ya walk far away, Liu"er said in a low voice: "Why didn"t Miss agree to her request? With her help, it would be good for Miss to establish a foothold in the Duke"s Mansion as soon as possible."
Cooperation? Wei Guanshu"s lips curved in a mocking smile. Someone like Princess Xi Ya was only fit to be her spearhead, not worthy to discuss and cooperate with her.
"Liu"er, now is not the time. In the past few days, you should be more at ease, don"t get into trouble for me. "
Wei Guanshu could be said to be extremely intelligent in the prince"s mansion, he had treated Wei Yuanwei warmly and was very easygoing. He even welcomed him with a smile when a servant girl came to ask for a girl"s red flower, and everyone in the prince"s mansion said that Wei Guanshu did not have any airs of being a young miss.
Even Yin Sheng had gotten a box of rouge from Wei Guanshu, who treated it as a treasure: "Master, I never thought that Eldest Miss would change so much."
In the past, Wei Guanshu was arrogant and cold, the servant girls under his would be punished if they weren"t satisfied, but now he was dignified and graceful.
Wei Yuanwei flipped the rouge in Yin Sheng"s hands onto the ground, "You won"t be able to use it within three months.
Although the box was exquisite, one could tell from the pungent smell that the rouge that Yin Sheng had obtained was inferior. It should have been made from the leftover spice.
Yin Sheng looked at the rouge that was scattered on the ground with a face full of regret. She caressed his face that was covered with layers of bandages: "Master, can I really become more beautiful?"
"What is it? "You don"t believe in my cooking skills?" Wei Yuanwei mocked.
"It"s not that I don"t believe you, but I just don"t know when Master learned this art." At that time, Yin Sheng was still a little apprehensive when she was receiving the surgery, since she had never seen Miss use such a consummate technique.
