Chapter 376 Her advice ends here
The old nanny in the princess's mansion was a little surprised when she saw the princess appearing outside the door.
"The princess is in the mansion. Princess, do you want me to go in and report?"
"No need," Wen Yao retreated in panic, "I just happened to pass by here, I won't go in and disturb her."
"Is this Yao'er?" Princess He Yong came out with a smile, "Since you are here, come and talk to me."
Wen Yao could only follow him into the Princess's Mansion in a daze.
"Why did you think of coming to me?" Princess Heyong asked her.
Wen Yao was silent.
She didn't know why she came here.
She had a lot of things on her mind these days that she wanted to tell someone, but her fourth brother couldn't understand a girl's worries, so she wanted to go out and relax.
For some reason, the carriage felt like it was being pulled by some force, and it swayed slowly until it arrived at the Princess's Mansion.
She probably still cares about that matter.
Wen Yao didn't answer. She smiled at Princess Yong, pulled her to the dressing table, and took off all her hairpins and rings.
The girl in the mirror is absolutely beautiful even without any makeup.
Wen Yao stared at herself in the mirror in a daze.
Is this... me?
She had never looked at her appearance so carefully.
Princess Heyong took out the phoenix coronet and bridal robe she wore at her wedding from a box that had been sealed for many years. This was bestowed by the Empress Dowager herself and was the only one of its kind in the entire Yuan Dynasty.
This is an honor, but also a shackle.
She opened the box again today for another purpose.
She picked up the comb and gently combed her black hair, but her appearance when she got married flashed before her eyes.
At that time, I was just beginning to fall in love and was blinded by Xie Zhilang. I only wanted to marry into the Xie family.
Yuan, who was the Queen at the time, also sat in front of the dressing table and dressed herself up carefully bit by bit.
She said a lot of things that night, but she can no longer remember them.
But every time she woke up in a dream at midnight, those words would linger and circle around her like a curse, as if suffocating her to death.
Then she would struggle to wake up.
During those years when she was extremely uneasy inside, she regarded those words as evil spirits demanding her life, and she wanted to escape madly.
She regarded Xie Zhilang's gentle words as a life-saving straw and never let go for a moment.
By the time you wake up, it's too late to regret.
It's too late. Everything is too late.
Now, everything that happened to Yaoer was so similar to her?
She had made a wrong move once, and she couldn't bear to see Yao'er fall into such a situation, struggling and unable to extricate herself.
Even if she will hate me for the rest of my life!
Wen Yao saw a tearful face in the mirror. She looked over worriedly and called softly, "Sister?"
"All right."
Princess He Yong did not wipe away her tears. She wanted Yao'er to see clearly what she looked like at the moment.
She slowly leaned over, placed her head on Wen Yao's shoulder, and appeared in the mirror with her.
"Yao'er, you have to remember one thing. You are the princess of the Great Yuan Dynasty. You are born noble. You don't have to be servile or try to please anyone. It is his honor to marry you."
The cold nails gently stroked Wen Yao's cheek.
"He's just a prince consort. If this one doesn't obey, then change him. There are plenty of men in the world."
Wen Yao was confused, "But..."
She likes him!
"Love is too hard, and we women can't bear it. Instead of loving, we might as well choose to be loved." Princess He Yong stood up, took out her wedding dress, and stood behind her. "Yao'er, how about making a bet with me?"
……
The capital was in an uproar over the affair between Wen Yao and Bai Ke. However, Shang Zhe, one of the three protagonists in the story, seemed to be unaffected at all. He continued to do his own thing and remained persistent towards Xie Wan.
As the story spread, people all thought that it was just the princess's wishful thinking.
Gradually, the public opinion began to change, with many people praising Shang Zhe's infatuation and scolding the princess for her overbearing power.
After finishing a day's journey, Shang Zhe returned home, washed off his fatigue, and lay motionless on the bed.
Shang Rou took the food and brought it to her brother's room.
Seeing how tired he looked, I sighed silently.
Why bother?
Others don’t know what her brother is thinking, but she knows it very well. It can be said that she understands the inside story better than Shang Zhe himself.
After all, she is an outsider.
But she didn't want to get involved in this matter.
Everyone has his own cause and effect. The outcome has already been determined. How can it be changed by human power?
"Get up and eat something before going to sleep."
Shang Zhe pulled the quilt over his head and said, "I don't want to eat it, take it away."
Shang Rou pulled the corner of the quilt aside and said, "You should eat something. Aren't you going to be busy all day tomorrow?"
Shang Zhe sat up suddenly and when he saw the faint smile on his sister's lips, he knew he was being teased again.
But he had no temper towards his sister and could only accept his fate and take the bowl.
Halfway through the meal, Shang Rou asked him, "Is that all?"
Shang Zhe lowered his head and remained silent.
Shang Rou shook her head helplessly.
That was the end of her advice.
It is very painful to give up the person you love with your own hands. I hope he will not be ruined because of this.
If that comes to the point, she will also abandon him.
Useless chess pieces should not be left on the chessboard.
……
Chen Mansion.
Ever since the rumor spread, Chen Xingwei has had people secretly paying attention to what's going on in the Princess's Mansion.
He clearly felt that this matter was not that simple, but he couldn't figure out the key point for a while.
"Sir, there is news."
A dark shadow fell in the study.
Chen Xingwei stood up immediately and said, "Tell me in detail."
"A few days ago, many people thought that Wen Yao's marriage to Bai Ke was just a rumor, but judging by the current situation, it may come true."
"How do you see it?"
"They sent a letter saying that the Bai family in Cenzhou has been secretly preparing betrothal gifts. I heard that there are quite a lot of things, and the scale is comparable to the wedding of the Lou family's daughter. Such a grand wedding must not be for other collateral descendants. It's just that there is no suitable candidate in Cenzhou. After careful calculation, only Bai Ke is suitable."
Chen Xingwei's face suddenly became sinister.
That bitch is really good at tricking people!
Bai family, Bai family, what exactly does she want to do with the Bai family? !
Are they trying to kick Chen Xingwei away?
Don't you see what Chen Xingwei was raised on? How dare she, a woman in the inner house, play tricks on him? Is she courting death? !
The man in black stepped forward, "Sir, are you going to kill that boy from the Bai family?"
As he said this, he made a fierce gesture towards his neck.
"No need." Chen Xingwei raised his hand to stop her. "Now is not the time. I want to make that bitch feel the most unforgettable pain!"
……
The Bai family's wedding was arranged very quickly, to be on the same day as the Xue family's.
Wen Yao sat in her own palace, quietly waiting for the bride's sedan chair to arrive at the palace gate.
This was a big happy event that had not been seen in the palace for a long time, and many unusual people came.
She no longer cared who came.
Princess He Yong appeared beside her, her loving eyes falling on her face.
Wen Yao raised her head slightly, "Sister."
Princess He Yong had no smile on her face. She took out a comb from her bosom and put it into Wen Yao's hand.
Wen Yao was surprised, "This is..."
"This is what my mother left me. Although it is not a particularly valuable item, it was carved by my mother herself. It can be regarded as a thought of love, so I will give it to you today."
Wen Yao touched the comb carefully. Although the surface was not that smooth, she felt comfortable and secure holding it.
"Don't worry, sister. Now that I've given up, I won't have any more delusions. I will live well."
In fact, even if there was no bet, she would have given up long ago.
I just stubbornly refuse to let go.
She always thought that if she tried again, she might succeed.
In the end, even she was deceived.
Following a loud shout from outside the hall, Wen Yao was helped out.
She kept the comb in her hand.
She fumbled for a while before she found two clearly legible words on the comb:
Corning.
Healthy and peaceful.
She got it.
The bridal sedan came out of the palace gate with music and drums.
Yuan Qing could not come forward using the identity of "Gong Bin", so he could only present the gift in the name of "Yue Qing".
She had already sent the third son to the Xue family, and she went to the Bai Mansion to attend the banquet in person.
This was also the first time that the identity of "Yue Qing" appeared in the capital, so it was naturally to be more grand.
Her reputation is currently based on glass, so what she offers is naturally glass.
But this product is different from the others, as it also incorporates unique jade mined from the Tianshan Mountains.
This kind of jade grows deep in the Tianshan Mountains and still retains ancient spiritual veins, so it is the most nourishing to the body.
