Chapter 525 Birthday wishes
On the contrary, Wei Minghong remained silent on the sidelines.
He is now an idler!
Although there is still a smile on his face, Wei Minghong's eyes are darker than before.
Yun couldn't help but smile. Although both of them were her daughters, her relationship with them was not good now. When she thought of the faces of her two daughters, her heart sank.
How should she treat these two daughters?
###
The chariot from Prince Rui's Mansion and the chariot from Prince Yu's Mansion arrived at Zhongyi Bo's Mansion almost at the same time.
The princess returned to her mansion, and Uncle Zhongyi opened the main gate and lined up to welcome her.
Everyone in the Wei family, except the old man and the old lady, were waiting at the door.
Everyone stood upright, staring at Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan who got off the car.
Seeing the two of them, everyone in the Wei family had different expressions on their faces.
Bai Shi, Wei Yifeng, Wei Yipeng and others looked at Wei Qingwan with love and joy, but when they looked at Wei Ruo, they felt a bit disgusted and resentful.
The expressions of Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin were different from them.
Especially for Wei Yilin, he couldn't hide his thoughts the most. All his thoughts were written on his face. The expectation was clearly directed at Wei Ruo, but he was more indifferent to Wei Qingwan.
Yunshi looked at her two daughters, both well-dressed and distinguished, but she was not happy at all. Instead, a look of disappointment took over her face.
When Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan walked to the steps, everyone came up to pay homage.
After Wei Ruo said he would be excused from the ceremony, everyone in the Wei family welcomed the two of them into the house.
Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan walked at the front, followed by everyone in the Wei family.
Logically speaking, Wei Ruo has a higher status than Wei Qingwan, so Wei Qingwan should consciously take a few steps back, but she seemed to have chosen to walk side by side with Wei Ruo on purpose.
Wei Ruo didn't pay attention to Wei Qingwan who was walking side by side with him, and just strode inward.
“Sister, I’ve been having a lot of leisure time lately.” Wei Qingwan’s voice sounded, with a hint of sarcasm in the coldness.
"Aren't you also very leisurely? Are you favored by King Yu?" Wei Ruo asked.
Wei Ruo actually didn't know much about Wei Qingwan's situation in Prince Yu's Mansion, and he didn't go out of his way to inquire about it.
It’s just that she knew that King Yu was busy fighting with King Jing recently, especially when King Jing captured Shengtong, which probably made King Yu and the Qi family too worried to eat. How could they still be in the mood to care about the women in the backyard? ?
So Wei Ruo inferred from this that Wei Qingwan should have been neglected in Prince Yu's palace these days.
When Wei Ruo pointed out the sore point, Wei Qingwan's face turned slightly pale, she gritted her teeth and maintained her arrogance as a concubine of Prince Yu: "Sister, please rest assured that Prince Yu is in his prime, unlike His Royal Highness Prince Rui who is not as frail as the concubine. , I will always receive more favor than my sister."
"Don't talk too much. My prince is in a state of infirmity, so the grace he can give me is not necessarily small." Wei Ruo smiled with a smile on his lips, and his tone was ambiguous.
Lin Fang and Xiumei, who came with Wei Ruo, almost lost their composure when they heard this.
Young lady, you really dare to say that! If only this were true! Master, he might really want to!
Then Wei Ruo ignored Wei Qingwan and walked through the corridor and entered the main hall.
After seeing his two granddaughters, Mrs. Wei showed a happy smile on his face and immediately invited them to take their seats.
Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan sat on the left and right, closest to the main seat.
Then the juniors of the Wei family, following Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan, filed in and stood on both sides of the hall in order of seniority. Immediately afterwards, everyone in the Wei family began to wish the old man a birthday one by one. They said birthday wishes and presented birthday gifts at the same time.
The order of birthday wishes is in order of eldest and youngest, starting with the eldest brother Wei Minghong and his wife, and then to the grandchildren after all the sons have finished.
Until all the grandsons have finished their rounds, then Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan will come again.
Wei Ruo prepared some porcelain and tea for Mrs. Wei. They were tribute and could not be used by ordinary people.
Whether the tea tastes good or not is another matter. Anyway, the tribute is honorable, and Mr. Wei is happy.
Wei Ruo actually didn't prepare anything specially, because her two elders had given her a lot of gifts before, and also prepared a dowry for her. Wei Ruo felt that birthday gifts were necessary, so she picked out some of the rewards she felt she didn't need. The one above was delivered.
The value of the gift is certainly there, but it’s hard to talk about it.
Wei Qingwan watched Wei Ruo take out what she was holding, her hands tightened in her sleeves, and then she cautiously stepped forward and presented her with the birthday cake she had made by herself.
Seeing this, everyone in the Wei family looked a little surprised.
But everyone soon realized it. Mr. Wei said with a smile: "Princess Yu is really thoughtful. This birthday cake looks like she has put a lot of thought into it."
Mrs. Wei also echoed: "Yes, what the empress did with her own hands is worth thousands of gold."
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Wei said a few words to everyone, and then asked the three daughters-in-law to take the women to the backyard.
Mrs. Wei was already old, so it was inconvenient for her to participate at this time, so she went directly back to Shou'an Hall with the support of her personal maid.
Entering the backyard, Wei Ruo saw other female family members surrounding Wei Qingwan, asking her about life in Prince Yu's Mansion.
In addition to the Bai family, there are also Wei Yifeng's wife, Wei Yipeng's newlywed wife, several girls from the Wei family clan, and Wei Minghong's two concubines.
It seems that Wei Minghong felt that his wife Mo was not good at speaking and was always holding him back, so he specially sent two of his eloquent concubines to accompany him.
It seems that he is really anxious now and does not care about his dignity. He asks his concubine to accompany him, regardless of Mr. Mo's face.
Yunshi just walked aside indifferently, and no one came particularly close.
The treatment of Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan is in sharp contrast. It seems that Mrs. Wei's advice is not only very useful, but also has the effect of favoring one over the other.
Their attitude towards Wei Qingwan, the side concubine, was much more enthusiastic than that of Wei Ruo, the main concubine.
On the contrary, Mrs. Mo walked beside Wei Ruo and whispered: "Prince Rui, you don't need to pay attention to them. They are all confused and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority."
Wei Ruo glanced at Mo's indifferent face and said with a smile, "I don't care about this."
She could understand why these people were surrounding Wei Qingwan so much today. It was just because Wei Qingwan was Prince Yu's concubine, so there was no need to be cold-hearted to her as the princess.
It's just that her relationship with Wei Qingwan has never been good. If they want to please Wei Qingwan, they naturally have to be cold to Wei Ruo, so that Wei Qingwan can understand how good they are.
Mr. Mo nodded lightly, then frowned, as if she still wanted to say something to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo was keenly aware of her strangeness, so he deliberately quickened his pace and put some distance between himself and Wei Qingwan and others behind him.
“Now you say they can’t hear.” Wei Ruodao.
Mo Shi was stunned for a moment, surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she whispered: "Princess Rui, be careful of Bai Shi today."
