Reborn Lady - Chapter 255
When it was time, Yin Hui and Wei Luo gathered the children and waited in the living room in the mansion. When the concierge sent word that the Eldest Princess’s family had arrived, everyone went out to welcome the guests.
In terms of status, the Prince held a higher rank than the Princess. However, in matters of family affection, the Eldest Princess was an elder sister, and Wei Luo, as a younger brother, had to show respect.
Notably, the Eldest Princess was born of Empress Xu.
The two families met in front of the Shu Mansion.
Walking beside the Eldest Princess, her husband, Zhao Mao, caught sight of someone emerging from the palace and looked up.
Compared to Prince Chu, Prince Shu wore a simple robe that lacked the regality of a prince’s dragon robe. Nevertheless, Wei Luo’s presence was more striking than the dragon robe. He didn’t appear stern, yet just a single glance left Zhao Mao surprised, as if he had caught sight of Emperor Yongping himself.
Zhao Mao quickly averted his gaze and caught sight of Princess Shu.
It was said that Princess Shu was the granddaughter of the newly-appointed Ji Chang, born into a business family. Princess Shu had married into the Yan Palace with a substantial sum of money, as Emperor Yongping faced shortages in military supplies. In Zhao Mao’s imagination, Princess Shu should be somewhat tacky.
However, upon seeing Princess Shu, only one word remained in Zhao Mao’s mind – beauty!
Fortunately, Zhao Mao had encountered many beauties in ordinary times, allowing him to maintain his composure. Yin Hui, not paying much attention to him, followed Wei Luo down the steps in front of the mansion and greeted the Eldest Princess with a smile, “Sister, I often hear my mother mention you; I finally saw you today.”
Yin Hui exhibited a calm demeanor, addressing her as “Sister” in a natural and intimate way. This easy-going attitude made it easy for people to feel a sense of closeness.
The Eldest Princess stepped forward, helped Yin Hui up, looked at her for a moment, and playfully remarked to Wei Luo, “The third sister-in-law is so beautiful; you’re truly blessed.”
Wei Luo smiled briefly, allowing the Eldest Princess to see that her brother was very content with his wife.
After complimenting Yin Hui, the Eldest Princess turned around and introduced Zhao Mao to her with a light smile, “This is my husband.”
Yin Hui greeted Zhao Mao as if she had never heard any gossip, calling him, “Brother-in-law.”
Zhao Mao nodded.
Before he could say anything, the Eldest Princess had already called the three children over.
Except for Zhao Ling, who was older, and Xiao Ning, who was too young, Zhao Yun and Xiao Heng were both eight years old, and Xiao Zhao Chun and Xiao Xun were both six years old.
They greeted their uncle and aunt.
Xiao Xun stood slightly behind Xoiao Heng, looking curiously at his cousins.
Xiao Heng, observing the elders beginning to enter, took the initiative to entertain the three children of the Zhao family. Despite being three years younger than Zhao Ling, he seemed to be of the same age. Walking beside Zhao Ling, he said, “Brother Xun is little; please don’t mind if he seems rude.”
Zhao Ling smiled and replied, “Brother Chun is the same; maybe the two of them can play together.”
Xiao Xun looked at Zhao Chun, who also looked back at him. As strangers came together, Xiao Xun was more generous and smiled first.
Zhao Ling observed them conversing. Er Lang had haughty eyes, so he didn’t talk much. Xiao Heng was very polite, so Zhao Ling engaged in conversation with him about his journey, touching on topics such as the differences between the north and the south.
Gradually, Xiao Xun, Zhao Chun, and Zhao Yun became more at ease with each other. Zhao Yun attempted to playfully tease Sister Ning, who, enjoying the attention, concentrated on playing with her.
The Eldest Princess stepped into the hall, looked back at the children, and said to Yin Hui with a smile, “Just now in the Chu Mansion, my three kids were not so talkative.”
Yin Hui thought that in the Yan Palace, Er Lang and Sister Zhuang were not so good to other children. Both of them wanted to be the overlord, but only Si Lang listened to them obediently.
But Yin Hui didn’t mention them and said gratifyingly, “We stayed on the ship for more than a month, and there were only the three of them. When they heard last night that their cousins would come to visit us today, the three of them were very happy. Today they have been looking forward to it for a long time, especially Xiao Ning, who has urged me several times to ask why her cousins haven’t come.”
With just a few words, the Eldest Princess could tell that her third sister-in-law was not flattering but approachable.
If she were born in a noble family, it would not be uncommon for her to be able to do it, but it was really rare for a girl born in a merchant family to be able to live and behave in front of the royal family and relatives.
When she was in the palace the day before, the Eldest Princess and Empress Xu stayed alone for a long time. Besides reminiscing about the old days, she also mentioned the people of the Yan Palace.
Her mother evaluated her third sister-in-law, saying that she lived up to her name, a woman with a kind heart, high quality, and elegance. (Hui is a kind of orchid)
After taking her seat, Yin Hui let Zhao Mao go with Wei Luo and concentrated on entertaining the Eldest Princess.
They started by talking about the difference in climate between the North and the South. The Eldest Princess mentioned some interesting things when she first came to the capital. She happily said that it was snowing, but when she ran out to see, there were only fine and small snowflakes, which was incomparable with the heavy snow in Pingcheng.
Yin Hui listened carefully, smiled sincerely when she should be smiling, and showed no trace of pretense when she should be surprised.
Compared with the excitement on their side, Wei Luo and Zhao Mao’s side could be said to be completely silent.
Wei Luo sipped his tea slowly, either looking at the children in the yard or turning his head to listen to his wife and his sister talking.
Zhao Mao sat nervously beside him. Every time he thought that Wei Luo was going to speak to him, he immediately smiled and prepared to respond, only to find he was looking past him.
Many times, Zhao Mao’s forehead was sweating.
He was exhausted, but Wei Luo acted as he should, sitting there without saying anything or socializing. Although Prince Chu, Wei Yan, didn’t want to see him, Zhao Mao worried about his brother-in-law who might suddenly attack him at any moment.
