Chapter 49 - Reasons for entering the Jinyi Wei
Wei Ruo Yi injured his leg and walked slowly. With a limp, he finally arrived at the front of the Viewing Leaf.
There were palace maids and eunuchs guarding the door, and upon seeing Fourth Prince following behind Wei Ruo Yi, they all bowed and went inside to deliver their orders, after a while the news spread out, the Esteemed Empress Chen let the Fourth Prince and the Chong'an County Lord enter to meet them.
When the Chen Fei s left the palace, the Gongbei King Palace did the same.
The items in the Viewing Leaf Restaurant had all been rearranged according to the Esteemed Empress Chen's preferences.
The floor was paved with green brick, covered with a light green Yulan twig carpet, which reflected the silver-painted orchid lights in the room.
When Wei Ruo Yi entered, there were other people in the room, but there was a dignified and elegant woman sitting on the main seat. An oval face, a pair of detailed, willow leaf eyebrows, and a bow gently curved upwards. There wasn't much makeup on her face, and she looked very refreshing and pleasant. She didn't use much rouge either, only a slight layer on her lips. Her palace attire was also light in color. There were no fancy decorations on the pale blue ground, but it looked very elegant and dignified. Her hand was naturally placed in front of her without any ring. There was only a white magnolia flower bracelet that was faintly discernible on her sleeve. She held a pearl in her mouth and held a pearl in her mouth. She hung a tassel made from a string of small pearls, and at the lower end, there was a red pomegranate pendant, her entire body was simple and elegant. Only this pomegranate gave off a little light color, corresponding to the color of her lips.
It had to be said that this Esteemed Empress Chen really knew how to dress, and knew how to disguise himself.
Wei Ruo Yi only took a glance before giving a silent nod of praise at the bottom of her heart. Her eyebrows were clear and beautiful, and were not enchanting at all, but if she were to make too many decorations, her radiance would be limited and wouldn't be suppressed. Instead, it would make those external objects clamor for the owner. This outfit was just right. It magnified her original elegance.
In the palace, there were also a few simple women. To be able to reach such a position, no matter in various aspects, they were all meticulous to the extreme.
There were a few noble ladies sitting around her, Wei Ruo Yi didn't recognize any of them.
"matriarch." Fourth Prince took two steps forward and bowed to him. Then, he bowed to a woman in white on his left hand, "Greetings, Princess Gongbei. "Ladies and gentlemen."
Wei Ruo Yi observed silently. So the one on the left was actually the Princess Gongbei, even though he was old, he looked like a dignified and elegant person.
Wei Ruo Yi immediately followed suit, and with Lv Rui's and her support, he first bowed to the Esteemed Empress Chen, and then to the other girls inside the house.
"Chong'an County Lord's legs are inconvenient, so you don't have to bother with these vulgarity." The Esteemed Empress Chen smiled, "Come, let the Chong'an County Lord have a look. If you have anything to say, sit down first."
Although Wei Ruo Yi retracted his eyebrows in thanks, in the bottom of his heart, he was filled with disdain!
If this Chen Fei truly pitied her, she wouldn't have sat her down at all after she finished her ceremony. She said that, but it was just to show that she was magnanimous, so magnanimous that she shouldn't mess with her if she had the ability!
Wei Ruo Yi heaved a sigh of relief as he sat down with his butt against the embroidered pillar's cushion. To be honest, walking really hurt.
"Thank you Chong'an County Lord for your help, I didn't let that naughty grandson of mine create any trouble." "The Princess Gongbei laughed. I really didn't know just now, that I wasn't able to thank Chong'an County Lord personally, but I was wrong. I hope that Chong'an County Lord does not mind, and that I will definitely pay Chong'an County Lord a visit another day to thank you. "
"Princess, you're too polite." Wei Ruo Yi immediately said, "It was just a small matter, Chong'an does not dare to take credit."
"Empress, His Highness Fifth Prince wishes to seek an audience." The palace maid outside the door came in to inform everyone.
"Ol 'Five is here?" Esteemed Empress Chen smiled again, "I haven't seen this child in a long time. Quick, hurry up and let the Fifth Prince enter. "
Not long later, the curtains opened and Xiao Jin walked in.
Wei Ruo Yi muttered in his heart, and was supported by Lv Rui and Lv Rui to stand up to welcome him, how could he always see him!
After everyone returned to their seats, Xiao Jin sat down opposite of Wei Ruo Yi.
His acting was quite impressive.
Xiao Jin swept a glance at the well-behaved Wei Ruo Yi with the afterglow from the corner of his eye. It was rare to see her acting so obediently. Her clothing was simple and elegant, and her favorite golden items were all swept away. At a glance, she really did look like a lady from a noble family.
He had taken a fancy to his fourth brother, which was why he dressed up like this.
The more Xiao Jin looked at it, the more impatient and angry he became.
He was not an object, he was perfectly fine. Why would she chase after Yan Jing City when she said she liked him, and Fourth Brother when she said she didn't?
Xiao Jin An was also looking at his own fifth brother.
Xiao Jin's mother was originally a palace maid and his looks were not bad. That was why he was dragged to the dragon bed by the drunk emperor and had a night's worth of favors. That palace maid's luck was really good. However, after receiving such a favor, he was still pregnant with a dragon. It could be said that the emperor had treated that palace maid pretty well, bestowing her with the title of a beauty. At the start, that palace maid had even known to intentionally restrain herself and carefully live her life.
She always felt that she was as beautiful as the other imperial concubines, and that she had given birth to a dragon for her majesty. She only had the position of a beauty, so she had other intentions, and His Majesty had forgiven her time and time again for giving birth to a dragon.
Initially, His Majesty had intended to teach Xiao Jin to the Esteemed Empress Chen, but when Xiao Jin was young, he was entrapped by the palace maid well, and couldn't leave his mother for even a moment. When he was sent to the Chen Fei a few times, he had just run a few times, and refused to eat anything.
But after Xiao Jin left for the cold palace, that palace maid did not treat her own son as well as she used to.
Her son was born to be a tool for her to climb up, and now that she had fallen into such a predicament, she had thought of a poison plan, and she actually secretly mistreated her own son in the cold palace, causing his entire body to be covered with injuries. He was still sick, because as long as Xiao Jin got sick, even if he was a prince, there would be people who would report to His Majesty, and she would have the chance to see His Majesty again.
His Majesty was finally enraged, he gave the order to seal the cold palace and brought Xiao Jin out from the cold palace, never allowing the palace maid to see her son again.
At that time, Xiao Jin was still young, and did not understand why her mother would hate him so much, to the point that she would treat him like that. For a period of time, he basically did not speak. The father and son became more and more distant.
This was why Xiao Jin had entered the Jinyi Wei as a prince.
