Wen Yao didn't know they were playing together. Of course, she wouldn't care if she knew. You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.
The female family members were dining together, so Wen Yao had the opportunity to meet the old birthday girl at this time. She felt a little embarrassed, as if she was just rubbing shoulders with someone else's table.
Unexpectedly, I saw the old lady sitting next to Princess Qinghe. Isn’t this the one who went to her embroidery shop to have her clothes made?
Wen Yao did not recognize her rashly, knowing that she was either rich or noble, but she did not expect to be on an equal footing with Princess Qinghe, which was quite a surprise.
At this time, getting close to her became her clinging to someone else.
But Yuanhua pulled her over to say hello: "Grandma, this is Yaoyao. Is it your first time seeing her? Isn't she beautiful?"
The old grandma held Wen Yao's hand and smiled: "Huahua, you made a mistake. This is not the first time. Did you see the clothes on grandma? Yao Yao designed them, isn't she beautiful?"
Wen Yao was shocked. Isn't Yuanhua's grandmother also Yuan Rui's grandmother?
Seeing her shocked expression, Princess Xue smiled narrowly: "You didn't expect it to be me, did you? I'm not taking advantage of you by asking you to call me grandma!"
Wen Yao blushed and quickly saluted: "Princess, you are joking. It is Wen Yao's honor."
"No, it's my brat's honor. What a good girl. Grandma liked you the first time she saw you."
Yuanhua acted coquettishly: "Ha, grandma, don't you love Huahua anymore?"
"Why do I hurt you? It's okay if you don't get angry with me. As for you, take good care of Yaoyao, but those short-sighted people bully her. Who is superior to whom, regardless of status?
Grandma only looks at character, talent and appearance, so our family shouldn’t pay attention to those frivolous things.”
Princess Xue officially recognized Wen Yao, and many people present changed their expressions. Who would have thought that the eldest concubine of Prince Jing's palace was actually a merchant girl?
Princess Qinghe's face was even darker. People in her family looked down upon her and chose a businesswoman. Prince Jing's palace became increasingly hopeless.
"Then let's go over. Grandma, if you have eaten, we will go back to the house together in the afternoon."
"Okay, grandma is waiting for you, take good care of Yaoyao."
Yuanhua was jealous: "Yao Yao, Yao Yao, I have fallen out of favor. I am so sad."
Wen Yao laughed. She knew Yuanhua was joking, so she held her hand and said, "I will take care of you, and I will pamper you, okay?"
"Okay, it's better for you to be nice to me."
Everyone burst into laughter, there were also girls who were envious of Wen Yao, and even before she got married, her sister-in-law and elders liked her, so her life would be fine in the future.
After finishing the meal, Princess Fenyang said: "Miss Wen, I heard that your Wen family is now an imperial merchant, so you should be careful when dealing with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
I invite you to come and sit in my princess's mansion another day, and I will take you to meet my queen mother, so you can prepare."
Wen Yao said seriously: "Okay, thank you princess."
"You're welcome. Huahua's friends are my friends. In fact, we people really don't have many friends."
Wen Yao was even more grateful to her. The princess was paving the way for her to marry into Prince Jing's palace. The old princess agreed and asked for the marriage to be granted by the palace before it was truly settled.
If someone plays tricks and makes irresponsible remarks in front of the queen, the queen will have a bad impression of her and the marriage will be very difficult.
After finishing the meal and bidding farewell to the host, Wen Yao and Yuan Hua left together and waited outside the gate of the palace.
Soon, Yuan Rui came out, with a pale face and a strong smell of alcohol, but his eyes were frighteningly bright, not muddy at all.
"you've been drinking?"
Yuanhua frowned, "You didn't even call me when you were drinking."
Wen Yao: "..."
"Did you drink too much? I'll cook you some hangover soup when you get back."
The way Yuan Rui looked at her was different from the gentle look in the past. It was very strong and aggressive, which made Wen Yao's heart beat faster. He seemed to have changed into a different person after drinking a little wine.
"Okay, sister, you go back first, I'll go with Yaoyao."
Yuanhua: "You two have gone too far. Won't your conscience hurt if you leave me here alone?"
Princess Xue and King Jing came out. She looked amused: "Huahua, come and accompany your grandmother. Don't disturb your brother. If you are jealous, find a grandson-in-law to come back. Grandma will hold a son-in-law selection meeting for you.
You can choose from among the young talents in the world."
Yuanhua's eyes sparkled: "How many can I choose?"
Wen Yao smiles so much, Yuanhua is such a living treasure!
Yuan Rui held his forehead and said, "Sister, please restrain yourself, or you won't get married."
"You don't take me with you when you drink, and you have the nerve to talk to me. I don't have a brother like you. I've broken off our relationship for three hours and gone with your lovely wife."
Yuan Rui was helpless: "I was trying to convince King Xuan, but he slipped under the table and had to be carried to him. He has no ability, but he is very ambitious. He still dares to bully my people. What the hell!"
Wen Yao pulled his sleeve: "Be careful, there are so many people."
After all, he is a prince, so it would not be good for Yuan Rui if it reaches the ears of the emperor.
"Well, I won't say anything anymore. I'll listen to you."
Yuan Rui looked down at her, his eyes so gentle that water could drip from his eyes. Coupled with the strong smell of alcohol on his body, Wen Yao felt that she was also drunk.
Princess Xue had an aunt's smile on her face, the young couple really matched each other.
"Huahua, come and support grandma."
The eldest granddaughter has no eyesight, so why is she standing in the middle of the young couple?
Yuanhua pouted: "Grandpa's support is more stable, you still use me?"
Old King Jing said in a good temper: "Let's support your grandmother together. She likes everyone to surround her. She is the moon and we are all stars."
Yuanhua: "..."
This day is impossible, everyone comes to show their love and attack her.
"Yaoyao, take good care of Rui'er and bring him back tomorrow. If he doesn't want to live at your place, you can take him in."
Wen Yao: "..."
She didn't want to.
Yuan Rui said: "Grandma, I'll take Yaoyao back. Can you cook me sobering soup?"
"Okay, Rui'er likes the hangover soup I made. Grandma will cook it for you and send Yaoyao home safely!"
Yuan Rui first sent his grandmother and sister to the carriage, then Wen Yao, and got on it himself. In the small space, the smell of alcohol was stronger, and there was also the unique cold smell of men. For the first time, Wen Yao couldn't control himself.
heartbeat.
"Yaoyao, can I ask my grandmother to go to your house to propose marriage?"
"So fast?"
Wen Yao's eyes widened, a little at a loss.
"Is it quick? I want to marry you tomorrow, Yaoyao. This is the first time I want to be alone."
Wen Yao: "..."
There is an ambiguity in this statement, Yuan Rui, something is wrong with you.
Yuan Rui chuckled: "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, I just miss you."
Wen Yao: "..."
I'm right in front of you, what else are you thinking about?
Seeing her ignorant eyes, like an innocent little rabbit, Yuan Rui felt soft in his heart, and his rough big fingers traced the corners of her mouth, she was such an innocent little girl.
There was an ambiguous atmosphere in the carriage, and Yuan Rui couldn't bear to kiss her, as he couldn't bear to blaspheme her.
It seemed to pass very slowly, and it seemed to arrive in a blink of an eye. The coachman said: "Master, the Wen family has arrived."
Yuan Rui: "I won't give you a gift. I'm not well-groomed today and it's not good for others to see me."
"It's okay, you go back early and remember to drink the hangover soup."
"I want to drink what you cook. In fact, what grandma cooks is the worst, but we dare not say it. She has to be good at it, otherwise she may not be able to make trouble."
Wen Yao laughed: "The old princess is very good, and she is also good to you."
"It's good when it's good, but it's terrible when it's bad. You've never seen my grandmother get angry, the ground shakes, the sky thunders, it's scary."
"How can it be so terrible!"
Wen Yao thought Yuan Rui was exaggerating, but later she found out that Yuan Rui was too conservative.
After lifting the curtain and getting out of the carriage, Yuan Rui lay on the window and waved to her. He was really drunk and looked lazy like a well-behaved and harmless big dog.
"Go back and take your time on the road."
Yuan Rui put down the curtain, lay down where Wen Yao had been sitting just now, smelled her scent, and gradually fell asleep.
When Wen Yao returned home, the second young master Wen Zhao was reading in the garden pavilion with a book in his hand. When he saw her stand up and salute: "Big sister."
This second brother has always been so serious, as if he is living in a book.
"Well, hello, second brother."
Wen Yao nodded coldly. He was determined in his previous life, but she would not treat him with all her heart and soul in this life. She could love him as much as she wanted.
"Sister, please sit down and talk."
"What do you want to say to me? I don't think we have anything to talk about. If it's about mother and warmth, I don't want to talk about it. Whatever you think."
Wen Yao's face became darker. He was talking about the same old thing again, talking about filial piety, the eldest sister's responsibility, and preaching like an old master. She was really tired of listening to it.
"No, I have an exam soon. Sister, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Wen Zhao's eyes were complicated. He used to hate his eldest sister. He was obviously very talented in reading and his teachers said he had a good chance of reaching high school, but she forced him to travel.
He could have participated in Qiuwei three years ago, but he had to postpone it until now.
"No."
Wen Yao knew that he would be a Jinshi in high school and the top of the second class. He was only one step away from being the second best, the third best, and entering the first class. But he could not get the glory by himself. He had to ask for a royal title for his mother and take his sister to participate.
She held various banquets, made friends with powerful people, and found a good husband for her.
Wen Zhao was a little disappointed: "Okay then, big sister, walk slowly."
Wen Yao walked away, and Wen Zhao looked at her back and stood there for a long time, wondering what he was thinking.
"Second brother, I'm studying, ahem..."
Wen Ze walked over, and Wen Zhao showed concern: "Are you feeling well? Sit down quickly, your face doesn't look good."
"If you keep doing this, you won't die. I saw the eldest sister just left. What did she say?"
Wen Zhao sighed: "I didn't say anything. I hope she would say a few words. Have you noticed that my eldest sister has changed a lot? What happened after I was away from home for a few years?"
Wen Ze smiled bitterly: "I am a sick man, what can I know? Second brother, I want to read your book, is that okay?"
"Okay, you can come to my study at any time. It's a good thing to like reading. The world in books is so big that you can learn about the world without going out. You also have a pastime. It's not good to be bored at home all the time. You don't know the world.
Big, the wonder of all things.”
Wen Ze smiled: "Second brother has been out for a few years and has gained a lot. If before, you could only talk about sage clouds and what Confucius said, but you wouldn't say that."
Wen Zhao also smiled: "I was young and ignorant at that time, but my eldest sister is really far-sighted."
While the two were chatting, a woman hurriedly walked in. Wen Zhao called her: "Stop, which yard are you from? What are you so worried about?"
