"I really didn't intend to." Wei Lan Yi immediately denied.
Wei Lan Yi secretly bit her lips. How could she have thought that Wei Ruo Yi, whose leg had broken down, would suddenly appear at the door? And the voice that came from there was just too enticing, which was why she raised her eyes to look.
Just then, she glanced back and saw that Wei Ruo Yi had already changed his clothes, and upon entering, she saw a small sedan chair by the door, most likely to come to pick Wei Ruo Yi up? This place wasn't far from the Red Leaf Courtyard. She was here to accompany Elder Sis, and since Esteemed Empress Chen had already spoken, no matter how unwilling he was, he would still bring her along.
Wei Lan Yi was perturbed, but he still resolutely stepped forward. Waving his hand at Lv Rui, who was beside him, Lv Rui could only give up her position for Wei Lan Yi to support her arm.
The sky had yet to completely darken. If he were to head over now, it would be just in time for the banquet to begin.
Her dress today was simple and elegant. Just now, she had rearranged her makeup so that she should be able to see people. Wei Lan Yi thought quickly. Although she had never met the Fourth Prince before, she would definitely meet him if she followed him. At that time, she would just have to act according to the circumstances and leave a deep impression on others, she had already shown her face in front of the Esteemed Empress Chen.
"Right." Wei Ruo Yi let Wei Lan Yi support her, she was indeed going to the Red Leaf Courtyard, and the people from the King's Palace had come to invite her. They even prepared a sedan chair and parked outside, so she basically did not need to go. She studied Wei Lan Yi, "Just now, Aunt had brought over a lot of jewelry. I seem to like all of them, there were two that I couldn't decide which one to prefer.
The Chen Fei was a kind person, but Wei Ruo Yi liked his master who shined with a golden light. In order to make Wei Ruo Yi accompany his daughter, the Aunt Lan did not forget to grab a large box of all sorts of jewelry for her during this short period of time. Wei Ruo Yi could tell what she was thinking just by looking at the things Aunt Lan had sent over.
"Right." Wei Lan Yi nodded gently, and revealed a slight smile.
"Third Sister looks so pretty when she smiles." She then said to Lv Rui, "Go and fetch the two step shake." Lv Rui replied and turned back.
Wei Ruo Yi had a concubine of her own brothers, so in the family, she was honored as the "Eldest Miss", while Wei Lan Yi and the others were ranked starting from Old Third. The people of the Duke Palace didn't know that Eunuch Cheng had called Wei Lan Yi "Second Miss" just now, but he had called her wrong. It was just that Wei Ruo Yi had also lazily corrected him, the feeling of her brother existing in front of her was too low, Wei Ruo Yi had not seen him for the past few days.
Lv Rui quickly came out, holding two golden step shake in her hands.
"Which one do you like?" Wei Ruo Yi smiled at Wei Lan Yi.
"This one." Without even thinking, Wei Lan Yi chose the most dazzling one, the White Jade Pavilion step shake, which was embedded with golden silk and had a red ruby. It was huge, with extremely fine golden silk and a white jade as cloud at the bottom. The dense tassels hung down from the step shake, they were even skillfully made into small bells. As they walked, the gold bells would collide with each other and produce a crisp sound. The items were good items, only that they were too gorgeous.
"Are you sure you like this one?" Wei Ruo Yi picked up the step shake and smiled, then gently raised his eyebrows.
"Yes." Wei Lan Yi nodded, if Elder Sis was chosen by her, she would definitely choose the most eye-catching one.
He really lived up to everyone's expectations! Wei Ruo Yi sighed in her heart, if this young lady were to say it sincerely, Elder Sis's current attire would already be beautiful enough, there was no need to make it even more beautiful, she would also bring this young lady to the banquet sincerely. Wei Ruo Yi wasn't interested in that Esteemed Empress Chen at all, nor did she mind Wei Lan Yi showing off. Even if he overshadowed her, she wouldn't have any jealousy. Everyone had different goals, so there was nothing to compete for. But this girl was sincerely following the same path as Aunt Lan, so Wei Ruo Yi had no choice but to give her a slight knock.
"Since little sister likes it, then Elder Sis will give it to you." Wei Ruo Yi smiled very sweetly, "My little sister came to the Duke's Palace to take care of big sister, see, there's nothing I can do about it. If you like it, then wear it. Follow me to Red Leaf Courtyard.
Wei Lan Yi's smile froze on his face, and it was a little white. He was young after all, how could he have guessed that Wei Ruo Yi was someone who did not follow common sense! She must have gone crazy! In the past, Wei Ruo Yi was stingy and tyrannical, even if she had piled all the treasures into a mountain, she would never be able to give them to others. Because in Wei Ruo Yi's eyes, she was a person that she respected greatly.
"No, no, no." Wei Lan Yi hurriedly refused, "Elder Sis, such a good step shake would only be worthy of its status as a Elder Sis." Her outfit today was carefully dressed and meticulously dressed, in every aspect, just right and proper. If such a step shake really stuck it in her hair, would she still have to meet other people? It was as if a large peony had been inserted into the water bottle which should have been filled with plum blossoms. It could not be described as ugly, but it did not match. Furthermore, its head was big and its body was thin, giving it a tottering feeling.
"Why?" Wei Ruo Yi lowered his expression, "You are not giving Elder Sis any face? Didn't you just say that you like it? "
Wei Lan Yi immediately choked, unable to refute her. She did say that she liked it, but she thought that she was choosing it for Wei Ruo Yi. Now that he said he didn't like it, wasn't that the same as smashing his own foot with a rock?
"I don't dare, I really like it. It's just that I feel that this step shake is more suitable for the Elder Sis." Wei Lan Yi almost wanted to cry.
"Look at me, this is called enduring pain and cutting away love." Wei Ruo Yi just smiled and said, "How nice am I to you?"
This is great? Wei Lan Yi found it hard to say anything, and could only silently take this loss.
"Come, Lv Rui, help your little sister put them on. Put them on more firmly so that you don't have to wander off in a while." Wei Ruo Yi laughed like a flower.
Lv Rui replied as she happily took the step shake and helped her put it on her hair. She was Wei Ruo Yi's maid, but she did not spare a glance at the Aunt Lan who usually swindled her own master. She was just a servant, but there were some things that could not be said when she saw them, and now that she finally had a chance to swindle them back, how could she be willing to let them go?
The originally elegant and graceful bun, dotted with small orchid hairpins, was suddenly inserted by such a large pavilion step shake. It was inserted left and right without any bias, and it was simply bizarre to the point of making people laugh. The floor step shake's tassels were even adorned with small bells that were made of pure gold, and as they walked, jingling ding-dong , it really made one want to be low-key, not even being able to keep a low profile.
Wei Lan Yi wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Everything she had meticulously dressed up today was destroyed by a step shake just like that, and this step shake was chosen by her ?
"Not bad, not bad. It's so dazzling! " Wei Ruo Yi cut him on the face, "This time, wherever little sister goes, she will attract attention."
