NOVEL NEXT Chapter 93:
Few people in the capital know that during this period of time, their Crown Prince, except for attending court meetings, spent the day in the annex of Prince Yan's Mansion, even reviewing memorials.
Only Ning Hai knows how much his master loves the girls of the Wei family. What happened in the study room of the Wei Mansion last night was reported to the palace by the secret guard overnight.
After hearing the news, the person who had always been indifferent and aloof immediately became angry.
His Royal Highness is so angry that the girl who is reluctant to say a harsh word has wronged her direct grandparents. What is this?
He had promised to wait until his sweetheart reached the age of hair before issuing an order. Now he had no way to personally stand up for her, so he could only ask the girl's biological father to protect Ichigo.
Looking at this, I still feel uneasy, and I wish I could go and see for myself...
…………
Zhongyonghou Mansion, Jingya Hall.
Wei Hanzhang and Jiang's mother and daughter were busy together until noon. It was not until grandma came to ask for permission to serve food that he suddenly became aware of the passage of time.
By the time Wei Heng came in, the food was just about ready. He was slightly startled when he saw his daughter was there, and then he smiled and said, "Ran Ran will be a hairdresser soon, is there any birthday gift you want?"
Wei Hanzhang was cleaning his hands. After hearing the words, he thought for a moment and said, "My daughter lacks nothing and has nothing she wants. But I don't want to give you jade pendants. I have a box of jade pendants."
When I was in Xuzhou, I would receive good things from the capital every year. The jade pendants alone cost dozens of yuan in total. Some were given by my parents and some were given by my sister. They were all engraved with small characters and The emblem of the Wei clan.
Nowadays, nobles attach great importance to keeping jade on their bodies. Both men and women need to wear jade. Girls in the boudoir give each other gifts, mostly jade.
Once the Jiang family's aunts got good jade, they loved to ask craftsmen to carve it into patterns and give it to her as a gift.
Wei Hanzhang's jade pendant is not worthy of being used to hold down the train of his skirt.
Just one piece of jade as black as ink...
“…Don’t you want jade?…I just got a good piece of warm jade two days before I became a father, and I was thinking of carving a good design for my son as a gift for his hair extensions.”
Wei Heng smiled at Mr. Jiang with a troubled look on his face and said, "Madam, please give me some advice. What do girls like, jewelry or clothes?"
"As early as last year, I ordered a set of gilded green noodles at the Jewelry Pavilion for Ran Ran. It's time to make them. Jinyi Fang also sent two batches of Yun Shu a few days ago. The embroiderer at home is on the way. Why bother bothering these women?"
"Ran Ran has never been raised by you and me, and now she is almost a hairpin. I don't know how long she can stay at home." Jiang said lightly: "If Master really loves Ran Ran, he must not let her suffer any more while at home." I feel wronged.”
Wei Heng knew in his heart that his wife was angry that he, the father, had not done enough in the study last night.
He smiled helplessly, held Jiang's shoulders and asked her to sit at the dining table, and said warmly: "Madam, don't worry, as long as I am still here, I will do my best to protect our child."
Jiang's face softened slightly and she did not answer him. Instead, she handed a piece of chopsticks to the young girl who was listening quietly to her parents. She said sympathetically, "Ran Ran, did you hear that? Your father said he would protect you."
Wei Hanzhang nodded obediently, "I understand."
She knew in her heart that Wei Heng was actually qualified as a father.
Last year in the twelfth lunar month, something happened to Wei Hanyue. Wei Ping immediately asked for a glass of poisonous wine to send his granddaughter on her way.
It was Wei Heng and his wife who tried their best to keep him from killing him. They didn't think anything of it until they had seen Wei Ping as a person.
But now Wei Hanzhang knows how difficult it is for this utilitarian and controlling head of the Wei family to change his decision.
As the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, she could not imagine how much say she would have if her mother's family was no longer in the capital and far away from the center of the court. Among them, only Wei Heng was the one who made great efforts. He also didn’t know how much effort Wei Heng put in to save the life of his eldest daughter from his father.
Although she is still exiled to the family temple, it is already the best destination for a noble lady who has lost her reputation.
In any other house, Wei Hanyue's grave would have been covered with grass several feet deep.
The family of three had lunch, and Wei Heng did not leave as usual. Instead, he looked at his wife with his eyes from time to time, smiling with a trace of undetectable affection.
His naturally handsome eyebrows and eyes are now in the prime of life and well-maintained. At a glance, he feels that he has an extraordinary appearance.
As an outsider, Wei Hanzhang soon saw some tricks...
Her father’s old house is on fire?
How...like a peacock courting a mate...
She paused briefly, then excused herself very wisely.
Has the plot of the original novel become so distorted?
In this way, she felt relieved...
After returning to Tingfeng Pavilion, Wei Hanzhang kept walking and opened the courtyard door directly and went to the next door.
I thought she came suddenly and the two maids guarding the door of the courtyard should not be there. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered, I saw the two maids blessing her deeply and saying, "Good morning, Miss Wei."
Wei Hanzhang hesitated, feeling a little surprised. After shouting, he walked towards the main hall with ease.
I didn’t think so before, but after learning Xiao Boqian’s true identity this time, I was shocked to realize that there were indeed too many guards here.
Even the prince of the royal family does not have the luxury of walking three steps and one guard in his own inner courtyard.
Ning Hai stood outside the door as usual. He suddenly raised his head when he heard the footsteps. Seeing that it was Wei Hanzhang who had arrived, his face showed joy. He quickly walked down the steps and saluted: "I have been waiting for you. I am still here today." I can’t wait for you.”
Wei Hanzhang was stunned: "...Is he really waiting here for me every day?"
"Isn't it?" Ning Hai wanted to win favor with his master, so he hurriedly said: "Since you sent your personal maid to speak to His Highness... you have never set foot here again, but His Highness comes here from the palace every morning. , I just want to wait for you to come over and see him when your anger subsides."
“Every day when His Highness is reviewing memorials, he will stand at the window from time to time and look in the direction you usually come from. He has walked to the courtyard wall several times and wanted to see you..."
Ning Hai raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears and sighed: "I only hope that you, my lady, will take care of His Highness deeply and not make His Highness sad."
"…" Wei Hanzhang looked at him speechlessly as he wiped away non-existent tears, waved his hand and said: "You are blocking the road, please step aside and I will go in and see him."
…Stone-hearted, incomprehensible to style, and elm-headed!
Ning Hai stepped aside, feeling indignant. He didn't understand why his noble and cold-hearted Highness fell in love with such a girl.
Wei Hanzhang took a deep breath, endured his pounding heart, and opened the door.
Even though she has a heart of stone, she is still moved.
The sound of opening the door startled Xiao Junzhan, who was reading letters. He raised his eyes slightly and saw a girl in a crabapple red dress standing at the door, smiling at him.
The girl facing the light approached him step by step. (End of chapter)
