Chapter 788: Frequent Visits
But just as Aunt Xue suddenly remembered that she still had "important matters" to deal with, someone else was worried for similar reasons.
Beijing Palace, backyard piano room.
Princess Wei Ying knelt on the zither platform, folded her long legs behind her, and absentmindedly wiped the seven-stringed guqin in front of her.
When she thought of her husband and brother, who were now expressing their gratitude in front of Sun Shaozong, she felt ashamed and helpless - she really didn't know what the prince was thinking, that he had to come to the prince's house in person to express his gratitude.
But I don’t know how proud Mr. Sun is in private after receiving this honor.
clang~
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. Her raised little finger accidentally plucking the strings of the zither. Wei Ying's hands paused and she simply threw the brocade rag into the copper basin beside her, staring blankly.
Unconsciously, her hands were gently caressing her lower abdomen, as if she could sense some changes quietly taking place inside.
A change that made her panic.
Alas~
After a long time, Princess Beijing sighed, stretched out her numb long legs, and pounded them randomly.
Suddenly her face turned red again, as she remembered that day when she stretched her legs and was molested by the man surnamed Sun.
And what happened next is still fresh in my mind...
“Pah, pah, pah~!”
She spat several times, trying to drive the annoying memory out of her mind.
"Why, did Ying'er eat something dirty?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door. Wei Ying looked up, but who else could it be but Prince Beijing Shui Rong?
She stood up, half surprised and half guilty, and asked as she went out to greet him, "When did the prince come back?"
As he said this, he considerately stepped forward and helped Shui dissolve the cloak off his body.
"I just got home a short while ago."
There was a pungent smell of alcohol mixed in Shui Rong's unclear voice.
If it were in the past, Wei Ying would have probably retreated.
But now she felt guilty about it, so she forced herself to hang up the cloak, and helped Shui Rong sit on the cushion, and gently advised: "Your Highness has not been in good health recently, so it is better for you to drink less - someone, quickly bring a bowl of sobering soup!"
Seeing that she was not disgusted by the smell of alcohol he deliberately sprayed out, but instead looked very caring , Shui Rong felt very pleased.
I secretly thought that if I had known that Wei Ruolan would be released from prison, she would have such a change. I should have pushed for the trial of this case earlier!
Of course, this is also thanks to Sun Shaozong. If he hadn't been the chief judge, the case would not have been so easy to sort out.
With an inexplicable fondness for Sun Shaozong, Shui Rong patted his head to the side, motioning for his wife to sit next to him, and took her arm around her waist and said, "Sun Shaozong was quite polite when we went to the Sun family this time, but unfortunately he never agreed to learn about Lang Ge'er's case as soon as possible."
Wei Ying didn't care about this. After all, after Wei Ruolan was released from prison this time, she felt like she had gained great enlightenment and had said several times that she didn't want to be involved in officialdom anymore.
Since he doesn't want to be an official anymore and the Niu family has disappeared, what difference does it make whether the case is settled earlier or later?
However, when Shui Rong heard this, he shook his head: "As the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. Besides, Lang Ge'er is only in his early twenties now. He can learn from his mistakes and maybe he can ."
At this point, he leaned close to his wife's ear and chuckled, "I think Sun is a bit resilient in his words. Let me spend more time with him. Brother Lang's matter will surely turn around."
The words "move around more" surprised Wei Ying.
Now when she thinks of those things, she feels extremely ashamed and angry. If Sun Shaozong comes here often in the future, then...
"Your Majesty."
Wei Ying thought of a solution in a hurry and hurriedly persuaded him: "Since Brother Lan has no intention of officialdom, why do you have to lower yourself to that scoundrel surnamed Sun?"
She was not a cautious person after all, and when she said the word "scoundrel" at the end, she couldn't help but feel emotional.
Fortunately, Shui Rong was not a careful person and did not hear anything wrong. He was still smiling smugly and said, "My beloved concubine, you are thinking the wrong way. The Sun brothers are now a force that cannot be ignored in the court - and what I value more is the potential of these two brothers."
"Sun Shaozu is the son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, and Sun Shaozong is also close to several young masters of the Rongguo Mansion. At the same time, Sun Shaozong is regarded as a loyal minister by the prince."
"No matter which family gains power in the future, I'm afraid the Sun family will make further progress."
"So the reason why I made friends with his brother at this time was, firstly, to solve Lang'er's dilemma; secondly, it was also for future considerations."
After hearing this long speech, Wei Ying naturally knew that it would be useless to persuade her further - unless she was willing to tell the truth.
So he sighed helplessly and subconsciously rubbed his lower abdomen.
Shui Rong saw this action and thought that she was worried about her offspring, so his hand slid down along Wei Ying's left leg.
The princess's long legs are truly the best in the world!
I wonder how many people lost sleep over it back then, but in the end, I am the only one who can play with it so carefully.
Thinking of this, he smugly put his mouth close to Wei Ying's ear and said with a chuckle, "My beloved, there's no need to rush to drink the hangover soup. Why don't you order a bowl of offspring soup first?"
"Bah! What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight!"
Wei Ying pushed him away, her chest heaving rapidly and her face showing signs of nausea and retching.
Shui Rong saw that she seemed really annoyed, so he immediately begged her softly, but he felt regretful in his heart. Although the princess was beautiful, she was too old-fashioned in this aspect. She was never willing to try to please him in every possible way like those concubines.
What a pity about that cherry-like little mouth!
However, Shui Rong had no idea that Wei Ying would be so disgusted. It was because he thought of what happened on the boat that day that he felt the fishy smell and felt nauseous.
Just then the maid happened to bring in some sobering soup, and Shui Rong took advantage of the situation and sipped the warm soup.
Perhaps the hangover soup was really effective. After he drank half a bowl, he suddenly remembered something important, so he hurriedly ordered, "Oh, by the way, I'm going to host a banquet for Sun Shaozong in three days. My beloved concubine, please make arrangements in advance. We must make him feel at home."
Sun Shaozong is coming to the banquet in three days? !
When Wei Ying heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She stood up and wanted to object, but she couldn't find a suitable reason. She hesitated several times and almost revealed her whereabouts.
In the end, he could only sigh inwardly and rub his belly silently.
I don't know if it's because I've heard Sun Shaozong's name too many times today, but the strange feeling in my lower abdomen as if it were real seems to become more and more clear.
