Chapter 69:
As soon as they left, Lu Lan, who had been anxious for a long time, knocked on the door and knelt down to plead guilty: "My maid brought my foreigner back without authorization. Please punish me."
Wei Hanzhang was standing at the window watching the master and servant leaving. He was slightly startled when he heard this, opened the door, and said softly: "Get up, you are not wrong in this matter."
Even if Lu Lan didn't lead the way, given Xiao Boqian's condition at the time, it was not impossible to come in directly from the main entrance of Zhongyong Hou Mansion to look for someone.
She looked at the two maids, "Do you know who he is?"
Luzhu Lulan said: "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Wei Hanzhang nodded slightly and asked again: "If my grandparents knew that I had an entanglement with the current prince, what do you think they would do?"
"Hui..." The two maids hesitated for a few breaths. In Wei Hanzhang's encouraging eyes, Lu Lan said: "Hui will be overjoyed."
"Yes, I will be overjoyed." Wei Hanzhang smiled slightly and said: "Not only that, they may also coax me to get close to the prince, trying to please him in order to gain a status."
Luzhu Lulan's heart tightened, she realized something, and they both knelt down.
Wei Hanzhang looked down at them and said, "Tell me now, what did you see today?"
“The slave didn’t see anything.”
“That’s right, today is the same as usual. I’m staying alone in the attic without anyone disturbing me.”
With soft eyes, Wei Hanzhang helped the two maids up and said, "You should act as if you have never met the prince. No matter who you are, you are not allowed to reveal a word to anyone, even your father and mother."
She returned to the Wei family not long ago, and she didn’t know much about the relatives of the Wei family. The only one she could trust was the Jiang family. If the Wei family knew that a girl from their family was favored by the prince...
By then, perhaps no one will care about her ideas except Jiang.
Even though her biological father Wei Heng seems to be a loving father to her now, Wei Hanzhang will never forget Jiang's fate in the original work.
Wei Heng is not merciless towards Jiang, but he still cannot protect his wife who has been married for twenty years. If so, how can he still protect her, a young daughter who has never grown up under his knees?
So, she couldn't let the Wei family know about it.
Wei Hanzhang did not want others to interfere in the matter between her and Xiao Boqian.
She knew very well that she liked Xiao Boqian, and this liking seemed a little different from liking Gu Yunran.
It was different from the beginning.
But she couldn't tell exactly what was different.
Wei Hanzhang's gaze looked out the window and rested on the wall that separated the courtyard of Prince Yan's Mansion. To be precise, it rested on the wooden door.
After learning Xiao Boqian’s true identity, Wei Hanzhang became extremely upset.
If he was just a prince, she might still have the right to make a decision, but he is the prince.
His Royal Highness is interested in him, and they keep saying that he will not marry her unless she is the one. Does she have any choice?
The hand on the window edge unconsciously exerted a little force. Wei Hanzhang frowned, worrying about his future.
If she marries a well-matched ordinary person, she can go back to her natal family or get together with her sisters when things don't go well.
You can really marry into the East Palace... Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. This is not just talk, it means that there is no freedom at all.
When you are favored, it is easy to say anything, including inviting family members to come and stay together for a while, but if you lose favor...
Although there are no female relatives in the East Palace now, once she sets a precedent, Wei Hanzhang can only imagine how actively the courtiers will send in their own girls to be married.
What you win is not only the favor of the prince, but also the future of the family. Look at why the current status of Duke Dingguo is superior to that of other aristocratic families. Isn't it because they are the maternal family of the future emperor?
Xiao Boqian really loves her. He cannot lie about this, and there is no need to lie to her. However, I am afraid that he himself cannot guarantee how long this love will last. Once the love dissipates...
It’s not to blame Wei Hanzhang for being pessimistic, it’s because she has seen too much ‘love’ in this era. Gu Yunran loves her so much, doesn’t he want to share the same room with her?
The two wives had completely awakened her innocence. She could no longer naively believe that men in this era had the concept of 'loyalty'.
After thinking hazily for a long time, Wei Hanzhang had a splitting headache.
While thinking about cherishing the present, look, the person you like also likes you, and the position of the future queen is in front of you. All you have to do is nod and sit on it. If you want to protect Jiang and Wei Hanyue, it only takes one word. My uncle's family could avoid being exiled to Lingnan for ten years.
At the same time, I am nervous and scared. It is really difficult to live in another family. There is still hope for reconciliation, but marrying the prince...
That’s right, he is the prince!
Wei Hanzhang sighed inwardly. What was the use of thinking so much? She had no choice in this matter.
The only thing she could do was not to get upset when that man smiled at her.
Love is about balance, life and death are in someone else's hands, so what's the point of talking about love.
She doesn’t deserve it!
Wei Hanzhang told himself that he could restrain his liking, and it didn't matter if he was tempted. Look, she had liked Gu Yunran so much before, and she had devoted a lot of thought to him, but when she was really determined to break up, it wouldn't just be like that. .
Gu Yunran, who had been friends with her for more than ten years since she was a child, could afford to take things up and let them go. For the Crown Prince, who held the power of life and death and held great authority, it was even more impossible for her to allow herself to reveal her true feelings without any precautions. Offer.
Perhaps God was aware of her inner turmoil. Not long after, a summer rain fell without warning.
After the rain, the sun still appeared above the head very tenaciously, and it even became more and more muggy. The cicadas sang cheerfully on the branches.
Midsummer is officially here.
…
Wei Hanzhang took a round fan to block the hot light and walked into the Jingya Hall.
Lunch has been set up in the inner hall, and Wei Heng has also rushed back to have lunch today. At this time, the couple did not know what they were talking about, but Wei Heng was talking, while Jiang's face was as calm as water, and he only responded occasionally.
When Wei Hanzhang entered, both husband and wife looked over. Wei Heng glanced at his little daughter, who was more delicate than a flower, and said lovingly: "The weather is getting hotter and sunnier. There is no need to come here every day at noon." Your mother eats here."
"Yes," Mrs. Jiang waved her daughter to sit down next to her. She looked at her slightly sweaty hair on her temples and said pitifully, "I was just about to say, starting from tomorrow, Mom will set up a small garden for you in the yard. In the kitchen, you can just ask the people below to cook whatever you want, there is no need to come in the bright sun.”
Wei Hanzhang also felt that the sun was too hot. He was very hot during the walk and had no appetite for food. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will listen to my parents' arrangements."
Shen, who was waiting on the side, handed over a wet handkerchief and said softly: "Wipe your sweat, girl."
Wei Hanzhang had long since lost the curiosity that made him take a second look at the original heroine when he first came back. Hearing this, he took the handkerchief and wiped his forehead, washed his hands, and began to eat with his parents.
