Her beautiful face immediately outshined the young ladies around her, and her pair of expressive eyes were filled with gentleness.
Regardless of her identity, the aura around her spoke enough of what elegance was. When she raised her head or turned her eyes, she gave off a strong sense of tenderness and magnanimity. From whichever aspect, that was enough for her to make people relax and make friends with her.
Wei Yuewu's eyes landed on that slightly familiar face. It wasn't that she had an excellent memory, but that it was really hard for people to forget such a beauty once they had seen her. Moreover, Wei Yuewu had seen her more than once, and on such special occasions. It wasn't easy for Wei Yuewu to forget her.
However, the current situation was completely different from the last time. For a moment, Wei Yuewu was unable to piece together the memories of their meetings.
Nevertheless, even though Wei Yuewu had seen her before, she
"Miss, we've prepared it for you to see." The clerk had obviously been informed of this matter beforehand, so he replied respectfully at this time."Your Heir-apparent, you see...." Jing Wenyan turned around and her beautiful eyes landed on Yan Huaijing. Obviously, she was asking Yan Huaijing for his idea."Bring it here then." Yan Huaijing said as he looked at Jing Wenyan with thoughtful eyes."Bring it over!" Jing Wenyan nodded her head calmly and instructed the attendant on the side, who took her order and quietly retreated.Another clerk came up and served them tea and refreshments."I remember Your Heir-apparent talking about soft brocade before. I heard that it was available in this shop, so I invited Your Heir-apparent to take a look. I wonder if it's true." Jing Wenyan said softly.Wei Yuewu lowered her head. She picked up a cup of tea, took a sip and played with the cup in her hand. She did not in
"Eldest Miss Jing, anything else?" Yan Huaijing looked at Jing Wenyan with a faint smile in his eyes, which made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.Jing Wenyan bit her lips but did not say anything particular. She leaned to the side and said, "I hope Your Heir-apparent will come to my birthday banquet.""I will if I have time." Yan Huaijing stood up with those words and glided out. When his wide robe brushed past the corner of Wei Yuewu's clothes, Wei Yuewu raised her head again. She wondered if other people had the same feeling that this heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan State gave off a sense of imposing nobility and power, despite his elegant smile.Moreover, he was clearly a man of capricious moods.Were those smiles of his really sincere?After Yan Huaijing left, the two young ladies picked clothes for a while. Since they were just newly acquainted, it was impossible for Wei Yuewu to place full
"What does Your Heir-apparent want?" Wei Yuewu frowned. She didn't believe that Yan Huaijing was joking with her on purpose. The qin was not laid at a place where one could perform."Take this qin and the score with you. If you can find someone who is willing to play Confession of Love for me, give this qin to her." Yan Huaijing said meaningfully."Don't tell the person you are acting on my behalf." Yan Huaijing smiled gently and waved a slender finger in front of Wei Yuewu.Wei Yuewu saw the qin but not the score. However, if the heir-apparent said it was there, she believed that it must be there!Wei Yuewu frowned notwithstanding. She really couldn't understand what this heir-apparent was trying to say. Although it would damage a girl's reputation to play Confession of Love for a man, it would be a happy ending if Yan Huaijing asked for it in the first place and was to accept the girl.There should be a number of you
"Fifth Elder Sister, I think you knew well about what happened yesterday without my explanation. I heard that the old maidservant responsible for watching the front and back doors paid a special visit to my courtyard as if she wanted to talk to Nurse Mei privately. However, she was caught and escorted to grandmother's place by Nurse Mei before she had a chance to say anything to her."Wei Qiuju's face turned as pale as snow and her hands lost all their strength."Fifth Elder Sister, you'd better think about how you can get rid of your future identity as a concubine. If there's a tough wife to suppress you, not only you but also your children will suffer from the fate of being born to a concubine. By then, Fifth Elder Sister, are you sure that your children will not hate you for having no self-esteem?"The corners of Wei Yuewu's lips curled into an icy smile. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Is Second Aunt still willing to help you? Why
"You...." The Madam Dowager did not expect Wei Yuewu to lead their conversation astray rather than refuse directly. Her chest swelled with anger and she glared at Wei Yuewu. Adopting a gloomy face, she made her words clearer, "I'm talking about your father and Concubine Dong."She didn't believe that Wei Yuewu dared to oppose her."I know you are talking about father and Concubine Dong, grandmother. Concubine Dong has taken care of father for so many years. That's a lot of hard work. However, a servant is a servant. It'll be unfair to father. With father's status, he can absolutely marry a first daughter from a noble family, whose identity is much more respectable. The mansion of Marquis Hua Yang is a veritable aristocratic family. We can't let people say that father is only worthy of a servant, right?" Wei Yuewu's beautiful eyes were as clear as water. She looked like she was sincerely considering for her father as she uttered those words candidly.
Concubine Huang was sick? Ever since Lady Li's face was scratched, the Second Master had been staying in Concubine Huang's courtyard for seven or eight days out of ten. He stood up when he heard Concubine Huang was unwell. Since he had no mood for official business at this time, he nodded at the maid and left the study for the inner courtyard.When he arrived at Concubine Huang's residence, he saw Concubine Huang coming out with a sad expression. Upon seeing him, she covered her face with a handkerchief and cried pitiably without saying anything.The Second Master came over and reached out to take his concubine by the hand and asked softly, "What's the matter? How are you feeling? Just see the doctor. What are you crying for?""My lord, ever since I was given to you, I have always been thinking that I owe you a huge debt for I didn't give birth to any son. It's really my fault." Concubine Huang cried more sadly. She buried herself in the arms o
Lady Li knew that Wei Luowu had been to Concubine Huang's courtyard."A concubine's words? Well, should I call more doctors and let them see if I've been taking gastrodia fruit for a long time. How long has Concubine Huang been in the mansion? Do you think it's because of her that I've been taking medicine for so long a time?"Wei Luowu sneered and kicked away Lady Li's hand with his leg. He ignored her and directly went to the Madam Dowager's Tranquility Pavilion.The issue of male offspring? He couldn't even define how serious this issue could be!If in the future his eldest brother had no…. Then the number of sons he had would be of utmost significance!Wei Yuewu had just arrived at the Tranquility Pavilion. She came here after learning that Wei Luowu had gone to Lady Li's courtyard. She brought over the materials she had chosen for the Madam Dowager on the day when she went to the street. The materials were all of
The Eldest Young Master of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was Wei Ziyang, Lady Li's son. Instead of staying with his own father, Wei Luowu, he followed Marquis Hua Yang Wei Luowen and was most trusted by the Marquis.It was said that at least a small number of people around Marquis Hua Yang had faith in this Eldest Young Master and were convinced that this Eldest Young Master would become the legitimate successor of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang in the future.It was precisely because of the outstanding Wei Ziyang that Lady Zhang from the third branch was completely at a disadvantage against Lady Li. As a result, the backyard of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang had been under the control of Lady Li for many years. Even though Lady Zhang also had sons, her sons were too plain. Besides, the Second Master was the Minister of Rites. Due to all these factors, the third branch was completely in an inferior position.Perhaps this was one of the impo
