Not many people in the capital knew that during this period of time, their Crown Prince, except for attending court meetings, spent the day in the courtyard of Prince Yan's Mansion, even reviewing memorials. Only Ning Hai knew how much his master loved the girls of the Wei family. What happened in the study room of the Wei family last night was reported to the palace by the secret guards overnight. After hearing the news, the usually indifferent person immediately became angry. His Royal Highness is so angry that a girl who is reluctant to say a harsh word has wronged her direct grandparents. What is this? She had promised to wait until her sweetheart had hair extensions before issuing an order. Now that he had no way to personally stand up for her, he could only ask the girl's biological father to protect Ichigo. Looking at this, I still feel uneasy and wish I could go and see for myself... ……………… Zhongyong Hou Mansion, Jingya Hall. Wei Hanzhang and Jiang's mother and daughter were busy together until noon. It was not until grandma came to ask for permission to serve food that he suddenly became aware of the passage of time. When Wei Heng came in, the food was just about ready. When he saw his daughter was there, he was slightly startled, and then smiled and said, "Ran Ran will be a hairdresser soon, is there any birthday gift you want?"
Wei Hanzhang was cleaning his hands. After hearing the words, he thought for a moment and said: "My daughter lacks nothing and has nothing she wants. But I don't want to give you jade pendants. I have a box of jade pendants." When I was in Xuzhou, I would receive good things from the capital every year. The jade pendants alone cost dozens of yuan in total. Some were given by my parents and some were given by my sister. They were all engraved with small characters and The emblem of the Wei clan. Nowadays, aristocrats attach great importance to keeping jade on their bodies, and both men and women need to wear jade. Girls in the boudoir give each other gifts, mostly jade. Once the Jiang family's aunts got good jade, they loved to ask craftsmen to carve it into patterns and give it to her. Wei Hanzhang's jade pendant is not worthy of being used to hold down the train of his skirt. But I only got one piece of jade as black as ink... "...You don't want jade?...I just got a good piece of warm jade two days before I became a father. I was thinking of carving a good design for my son as a gift for his hair extensions." Wei Heng smiled at Mr. Jiang with a troubled look on his face and said, "Ma'am, please give me some advice. What do girls like, jewelry or clothes?" "As early as last year, I ordered a set of gilded green noodles at the Jewelry Pavilion for Ran Ran. It's time to make them. Jinyi Fang also sent two batches of Yun Shu a few days ago. The embroiderer at home is on the way. How can I waste my time on these women?" "Ran Ran has never been raised by you and me, and now she is almost a hairpin. I don't know how long she can stay at home." Jiang said lightly: "If Master really loves Ran Ran, he must not let her suffer any more while at home." I feel wronged.” Wei Heng knew in his heart that his wife was angry that he, the father, did not do enough in the study last night. He smiled helplessly, held Jiang's shoulders and asked her to sit at the dining table, and said warmly: "Madam, don't worry, as long as I am still here, I will do my best to protect our child." Jiang's face softened slightly and she did not answer him. Instead, she handed a chopstick dish to the young girl who was quietly listening to her parents talking. She said sympathetically: "Ran Ran, did you hear that? Your father said he would protect you." Wei Hanzhang nodded obediently, "I understand." She knew in her heart that Wei Heng was actually qualified as a father. When Wei Hanyue was in trouble in the twelfth lunar month last year, Wei Ping immediately wanted to send his granddaughter on her way with a glass of poisonous wine as the front door. It was Wei Heng and his wife who tried their best to prevent him from killing him. They didn't think anything about Wei Ping until they had seen him as a person. But now Wei Hanzhang knows how difficult it is for this utilitarian and controlling head of the Wei family to change his decision. As Jiang's daughter-in-law, she had no idea how much say she could have as her mother's family was no longer in the capital and far away from the center of the court. Among them, only Wei Heng was the one who made great efforts. He also didn’t know how much effort Wei Heng put in to save the life of his eldest daughter from his father.
Although she is still exiled to the family temple, it is already the best destination for a noble girl who has lost her reputation. In any other house, Wei Hanyue's grave would have been covered with grass several feet deep. The family of three had lunch, and Wei Heng did not leave as usual. Instead, he looked at his wife with his eyes from time to time, smiling with a trace of undetectable affection. He was born with handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, but now he was in his prime and well-maintained. At a glance, he felt that he had an extraordinary appearance. As an outsider, Wei Hanzhang soon saw some tricks... Is her father's old house on fire? Why...it looks like a peacock courting a mate... She paused for a moment, then excused herself very wisely. Has the plot of the original novel become this distorted? In this way, she felt relieved... After returning to Tingfeng Pavilion, Wei Hanzhang kept walking and directly opened the courtyard door and went to the next door. I thought that she arrived suddenly and the two maids guarding the entrance of the courtyard should not be there. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered, I saw the two maids deeply blessing her and saying: "Miss Wei, hello." Wei Hanzhang hesitated, feeling a little surprised. After shouting, he walked towards the main hall with ease. I didn't think so before, but after learning Xiao Boqian's true identity this time, I was shocked to realize that there were indeed too many guards here. Even the eldest son of the royal family is not in a position where he can stand guard every three steps in his own inner courtyard. Ning Hai was standing outside the door as usual. He suddenly raised his head when he heard the footsteps. When he saw that Wei Hanzhang was coming, his face was filled with joy. He quickly walked down the steps and saluted: "I've been waiting for you. I'm still here today." I can’t wait for you.” Wei Hanzhang was stunned: "...Is he really waiting here for me every day?" "Isn't it?" Ning Hai wanted to win favor with his master and said quickly: "Since you sent your personal maid to speak to His Highness... you have never set foot here again, but His Highness comes from the palace early every day. So, I just want to wait for you to calm down and come over to see him." "Every day when His Highness is reviewing memorials, he will stand at the window from time to time and look in the direction you usually come from. He has walked to the courtyard wall several times, wanting to see you..." Ning Hai raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears and sighed: "I only hope that you, my lady, will care deeply about His Highness and don't make His Highness sad." "..." Wei Hanzhang looked at him speechlessly as he wiped away non-existent tears, waved his hand and said: "You're blocking the road, please step aside and I'll go in and see him." ...He has a heart of stone, doesn’t understand the charm, and has a wooden head!
Ning Hai stepped aside, feeling aggrieved. He didn't understand why his noble and cold-hearted Highness fell in love with such a girl. Wei Hanzhang took a deep breath, endured his pounding heart, and opened the door. Although she has a heart of stone, she is also moved. The sound of the door opening alarmed Xiao Junzhan, who was reading letters. He raised his eyes slightly and saw a girl in a begonia red dress standing at the door and smiling at him. The girl who was facing the light approached him step by step. (End of chapter)
