The surroundings were extremely quiet, and the guests had different thoughts. However, Wei Hanzhang, a little girl, was treated so politely by Xie Li, who was the Marquis, and she did not feel embarrassed at all. She only smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are welcome." She paused, feeling helpless and sweet that the man was so impatient. Under Xie Li's respectful and expectant look, she nodded slightly and replied softly: "Yes." The girl's voice rang out in the quiet courtyard, as clear as a jade bead falling on a plate. The prince Wei Huan and Liu Shi who were standing aside seemed to have suddenly come to their senses. Without any time to think about anything, they hurriedly called on the chamberlains who had come with Xie Li to announce the decree to sit down and rest. Xie Li was convinced, and he breathed a huge sigh of relief. He completed the tasks ordered by His Highness, and became familiar with the future queen. He was full of joy and hurried back to deliver the errands. He didn't want to stay for a long time, so he handed over his hands and bid farewell to everyone present. A group of people came from the palace in a grand manner, did not stay for long, and then left in a mighty manner. As soon as they left, the guests in the courtyard were still cautious. Among the guests who came today, Wei Hanshuang was the closest to her little cousin. Seeing this scene, she said in a daze: "Ran Ran, when did you meet His Highness the Crown Prince?" Wei Hanzhang felt that Xiao Boqian was really capable when his usually steady cousin was so surprised. She looked slightly embarrassed and whispered, "We've known each other for a while." The surroundings were quiet, and her voice could be heard clearly.
Hearing this, the guests in the venue were startled. These words obviously hinted at why His Highness treated her so differently. Wei Heng, who had been stunned for a long time, finally came to his senses. He bowed his hands and bowed to all the guests, saying: "I'm sorry everyone, there are some things at home temporarily, so I can't keep you here for a long time. Thank you to all my relatives and friends for coming to see my little girl and her hairpins today. I'm sorry for any neglect." , I will definitely come to apologize someday." "Brother Wei, why are you so polite," someone in the audience immediately responded, "It's an honor for me to come to your house to watch the ceremony today. Our two families have known each other for many years, and we need to move around more in the future." This statement immediately attracted a burst of agreement. The people who can come today are people who have close personal relationships with Wei Heng or Jiang. Needless to say, they have a close relationship. Now they have witnessed with their own eyes that the current prince sent a noble prince to give hairpin gifts to the girls of the Wei family. I am even more glad that I came at the right time today. After all, it is very likely that the girl from the Wei family will enter the East Palace as a concubine. If she sells well in front of her, she can always accumulate some love. Those who can get along well in the officialdom have good eyesight. The guests noticed that the shock of the elders of the Wei family was no better than theirs, and they were obviously completely unaware of the acquaintance between His Royal Highness and the girl in the family. Knowing that the Wei family was certainly not in the mood to be polite to them at this time, they all quickly waved their hands and left. Not long after, only the Wei family remained in the previously bustling courtyard. The two married girls, Wei Hanye and Wei Hanshuang, had not left either and were standing under the eaves of the corridor. Wei Ping had not yet returned home after her shift, and the Liu family here was the oldest. She sat on the pear wood chair brought by the servants, looking at her little granddaughter with a strange expression, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. After a strange silence, Ms. Liu waved to Wei Hanzhang with a loving face and said, "Come here slowly, you will be a big girl after today. Please tell grandma to take a good look at you." "..." Wei Hanzhang lowered his head and pursed his lips in silence. Thinking of her grandmother's indifferent attitude in the study that night, the loving voice in her ears gave her goosebumps, and she stood there, motionless. The atmosphere was immediately awkward. Mrs. Liu's hand froze in mid-air for a moment, and she slowly put it down. She didn't say anything, but looked sideways at Mrs. Jiang and said, "Second daughter-in-law, Ran Ran is acquainted with His Highness. As a mother, don't you know?" "Don't embarrass my mother. My father and mother don't know about the acquaintance of His Highness the Crown Prince and me." Wei Hanzhang couldn't see that Jiang was being questioned by Liu, so he said first, "If you have any dissatisfaction, just tell me directly." Tell me." Ms. Liu was sitting on the chair, not angry at being disobeyed by her junior. She just looked at her with a gentle face and said in a kind tone: "Ran Ran has some misunderstanding about the family. Why do you think grandma will be dissatisfied with you?" Wei Huan, who was standing beside her, also said: "Jiu Niang can't talk to your grandmother like that..." He acted like an uncle, his face seemed majestic, and he was about to say something else, when he saw Wei Ping and his six sons, Wei Huai, rushing towards this direction. The father and son were still wearing official robes. Apparently they came straight here after returning home from work without even having time to change into their home clothes.
It was a hot summer day, and you could vaguely see the white hair on Wei Ping's temples. His face was eager and he was walking in a hurry. Ms. Liu quickly stood up and went to greet him. Everyone in the Wei family, including Wei Heng, saluted and said hello. Wei Ping spoke, and after looking around, his eyes fell on Wei Hanzhang, his face softened slightly, and he said: "The sun is very bright, what are you doing standing here? If you have anything to say, go inside and say it." The main courtyard was too far away, so Wei Ping went directly into the main reception hall of the second room. A maid came in with several ice urns, and a slight chill filled the air. In the huge hall, Wei Ping and Liu were sitting at the top, and the crown prince Wei Huan and Wei Heng, the two legitimate sons, were sitting on the left and right respectively. Among the concubines, only Wei Huai came. Among the grandchildren, the eldest son of Dafang and the sisters Wei Han, Ye Wei Hanshuang and others are still alive. Apart from these, only Wei Hanzhang and the Jiang family are left. "As soon as I returned home, I heard that something big had happened at home." Wei Ping put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "The chief minister came to the mansion to present the piano according to His Highness's instructions. Is it true?" "Going back to my father, this is the hairpin gift given by His Highness to Xiao Jiuniang." Wei Huan briefly described what he saw in a low voice. At the end, he said in a low voice: "His Highness also asked Nagato to ask Xiao Jiuniang to meet him. Can we set the time for tomorrow?" "Oh?" Hearing this, Wei Ping became energetic, his eyes flashed, and he looked in the direction of Wei Heng, "Second brother, is what your brother said true?" Wei Hengzheng was already feeling complicated because of his parents' attitude toward his daughter and Hairi's refusal to show up. When he heard the question, he showed some hesitation on his face. After a moment, he nodded slightly and said, "Not bad." Wei Hanzhang sat below, watching Wei Ping quietly with Jiang and after asking questions, his eyes finally turned to him. Wei Ping's serious face showed a slight smile, with a gentle expression, and said softly: "Xiaojiu, would you like to tell my family what His Highness has made an appointment with you for tomorrow?" Since he used the word "hopefully", he must have known the attitude of the Wei family during this period, and told this granddaughter that she had already separated from the Wei family. I didn't care before. After all, as the head of the family, the Marquis didn't need to care about what his juniors thought. Now that he knew that his granddaughter was related to the current prince... he naturally didn't want her to be alienated from the family. Fortunately, it's not too late. The little girl who grew up in a honeypot can be coaxed after suffering some grievances. (End of chapter)
