Chapter 199 - Chapter 199 - 15The Princess Xi Ya was the consort, so it was only natural that she and Yun Xie sat on the bronze carriage, while Wei Guanshu and the rest sat on the other carriage.
The road was peaceful, the only thing that made people uncomfortable was the thick smell of makeup on Wei Guanshu"s body.
Wei Yuanwei squinted her eyes to rest, she kept feeling that Wei Guanshu"s pair of venomous snake like eyes were staring at his, she suddenly opened her eyes, and met eyes with Wei Guanshu.
Wei Guanshu withdrew the coldness from her eyes and put on a calm expression as if nothing had happened.
She lifted the curtain and looked at the bustling crowd, then said indifferently: "We will be at Wei Mansion in a few more streets, is little sister willing to accompany me back to my parents" home?"
Home? That used to be her Nightmare Land, so Wei Guanshu made it sound so easy.
"I have to go back. After all, the dowry that Grandfather promised me hasn"t been collected yet. Of course, I have to come knocking and ask for it." Wei Yuanwei smiled.
Wei Guanshu lowered the curtain awkwardly.
"Little sister, this palace isn"t comparable to the King"s Manor. The danger involved is unpredictable. I hope little sister can be careful." Wei Guanshu"s smile became even more gentle.
"Oh?" Is that so? I actually want to see who is more sinister and vicious than the people of Wei Mansion. " Wei Yuanwei sarcastically replied.
Wei Guanshu"s face did not contain the slightest bit of anger, she meaningfully looked at Wei Yuanwei, and a trace of ridicule flew up from the corner of her eyes.
Seeing the bright and beautiful sunlight, she slightly frowned, then opened her blue veil umbrella to block out the sunlight as she slowly walked towards the Wei Mansion.
A large group of people were already standing at the entrance of the Wei Mansion to welcome her. The one leading them was the somewhat old but lively Prime Minister Wei, and behind him were a few rooms full of daughter-in-law, granddaughters and grandchildren.
When they saw Wei Guanshu welcoming them affectionately, Wei Guanshu was already sobbing, so the few Song Family members followed to wipe their tears away.
Wei Yuanwei closed the curtain in disgust. She had seen enough of their playful expressions.
As he followed Yun Xie through the long and quiet corridor of the palace, Wei Yuanwei felt a sense of unease in his heart. Yun Xie slowed down her steps and walked beside Wei Yuanwei.
Wei Yuanwei pretended not to hear it as she stared at the tip of his brocade shoes and slowly walked forward.
In the throne room, the emperor majestically sat on the dragon throne, his gaze faintly falling on Wei Yuanwei"s body.
"This son greets royal father."
"My daughter-in-law greets royal father!"
Even though Princess Xi Ya had a face full of disdain, she still bowed and paid respects to Wei Yuanwei.
"Your son has troubled you. If it weren"t for your mother"s sudden illness, I wouldn"t have been so anxious to see you." The emperor stepped forward to help Yun Xie up, but he did not let Wei Yuanwei and Xisia stand up.
He held Yun Xie"s hand and talked about her daily life, as if she had already forgotten that there were still two people in the hall.
Princess Xi Ya never received such treatment since he was young. She felt that his legs were going to ache and couldn"t help but gnash his teeth, thinking in his heart: I"ll have royal father wipe this Eastern Chu clean.
Wei Yuanwei, on the other hand, maintained his respectful pose with his eyes open wide, and did not reveal any signs of weariness on her face.
Yun Xie glanced at Wei Yuanwei, then reminded him: "royal father."
After a long time, the emperor said, "The two of you should go greet your mufei. We still have some things to say to your son."
A female official in plain clothes walked over to lead the Princess Xi Ya and Wei Yuanwei towards the Empress"s Yan Xi Palace.
"This place is not even half as big as the Xiling"s Imperial Palace, nor is it as grand as the Xiling"s Imperial Palace."
"Esteemed w.a.n.gfei, you are now the princess consort of the Eastern Chu. As you are currently in the Eastern Chu, please pay attention to your words and actions!" The female official said in a stern tone.
After the two arrived at the Yan Xi Palace, the female official went in to pa.s.s the news. She then brought the two to investigate.
The main hall was filled with the smell of medicine. Even the fragrance of incense could not cover the smell. The faint outline of the empress could be seen under the purple drapes.
The female official used a golden hook to hook up the drapes before seeing the empress" pale, bloodless face.
"Come, come, come. Good child, come closer." The empress extended her hand in an amiable manner.
The two of them walked forward. The Empress smiled and placed the gold bracelet on Wei Yuanwei"s hand, observing and laughing, "No wonder Huang"er likes you so much.
"Imperial Mother is too kind." Wei Yuanwei replied respectfully, her doubts growing stronger. She was just a side consort, she did not feel that she was extraordinary enough to make the Empress think highly of her, a side consort.
It was only then that the empress thought of her. However, the reward for her was only a pair of bright moon earrings, which was much worse than Wei Yuanwei"s gold bracelet with the gemstones embedded inside.
It was as if the empress hadn"t seen them, as she held their hands and spoke some mundane words.
Wei Yuanwei only listened quietly, but his eyes flashed with a strange light. A person can lie with their face, but her vital energy and blood may not. The Empress"s hand was warm, and from her words, she didn"t seem to be a weak person.
"I really like these two children, so I"ll have to keep them here to tend to their illnesses." I really like these two children, so I"ll have to bring them to tend to their illnesses. After saying that, the empress began to cough violently.
There were so many empty halls in Yan Xi Palace, but the servants had purposely arranged for her to be with the Princess Xi Ya.
Princess Xi Ya took the initiative to lie down on the red silk bed with a complacent look and said: "This princess will sleep here."
There wasn"t even a single bed in the hall, and there wasn"t even a single extra blanket. Did that mean he wanted her to sleep while standing up?
After dinner, Princess Xi Ya laid on the big bed since long ago. She even stretched out his limbs and displayed a big word, then looked at Wei Yuanwei with malevolence and pride.
Wei Yuanwei just indifferently flipped through the book in her hand, and Princess Xi Ya could no longer hold on as she fell into a deep sleep.
Wei Yuanwei put down the book, stretched her body, and stretched her muscles and bones, then walked towards Princess Xi Ya with a smile.
When Princess Xi Ya woke up,he felt his body go soft and his neck turn stiff. When she turned around, she touched the cold floor.
She abruptly sat up and screamed hysterically, "Wei Yuanwei, you b.i.t.c.h!"
Wei Yuanwei, on the other hand, slowly sat up and slowly put on his clothes. She lazily yawned and laughed: "There"s only one bed.
Princess Xi Ya clenched his teeth as he pulled out her soft whip and swung it at Wei Yuanwei. Wei Yuanwei dodged lightly and ridiculed: "Since you can be a junior, why can"t I be a junior?"
