Reborn Lady - Chapter 256
On the other hand, Yin Hui glanced at Wei Luo and said softly to the Eldest Princess, “My lord has always been reticent and not good at socializing. He doesn’t intend to be rude to you.”
The Eldest Princess smiled and said, “I grew up with him, and I know his temperament. He was so cold; if it weren’t for you and the children, I wouldn’t have come to see him.”
The Eldest Princess also told Yin Hui a story about Wei Luo when he was a child.
It was said that the brothers and sisters were studying in the study hall. One time, Emperor Yongping came over and asked a difficult question. The Eldest Princess and others were all nervous, looking at each other for hints. Only Wei Luo sat motionless, with no expression on his face. Emperor Yongping asked Wei Luo to get up and answer, but he didn’t know either.
Recalling the carefree childhood, the Eldest Princess laughed so hard that she almost burst into tears, saying to Yin Hui, “You didn’t see the expression on father’s face at that time. He asked the third brother why he didn’t panic, hahaha…”
Wei Luo and Zhao Mao didn’t speak, so they naturally heard the voices of the two women clearly.
Zhao Mao didn’t understand what was so funny about it, even suspecting that the Eldest Princess was torturing him on purpose to show off in front of her natal family.
Wei Luo didn’t know why his sister laughed like that, but laughter was always something that made onlookers happy.
The Eldest Princess and her family stayed in the Shu Mansion for almost half an hour. Yin Hui suggested that they also eat there at noon, but the Eldest Princess refused, saying that they would go back to have a banquet together at night.
After sending them off, Yin Hui heaved a sigh of relief.
However, there was nothing that was not tiring when it came to socializing. When one got together with familiar relatives and friends, they just needed to enjoy each other’s company. But it was the first time for her and the Eldest Princess to sit together.
At that time, Yin Hui envied Wei Luo very much. Because he was cold since he was a child, and as he grew up, people who knew him also accommodated him, not thinking him impolite.
During the break, Yin Hui mentioned the Eldest Princess to Wei Luo while crawling into bed, “The Empress is dignified. I thought the Eldest Sister would be very similar to her, but I didn’t expect her to laugh so much.”
In Wei Luo’s memory, his sister was gentle and thoughtful. Although she often smiled, she had never laughed so unrestrainedly.
It could be said that after the reunion, his elder sister, apart from her appearance, had almost no match for the elder sister in his memory.
“Maybe I was wrong about her temperament,” Wei Luo guessed.
Yin Hui didn’t think that she could win the favor of a princess so quickly. She had a good relationship with Wei Ying, Fu Shan, and even Ji Xianxian, and they got to know each other slowly.
“I actually think that the Eldest Sister likes you, as she remembers clearly what happened more than ten years ago.”
A scene of Wei Luo being called up by her father-in-law to answer questions because he was too calm appeared in Yin Hui’s mind, and she unconsciously laughed.
Wei Luo naturally knew what she was imagining and said without expression, “What’s so funny?”
Yin Hui looked at his cold face and said deliberately, “It’s not funny; I just think that at that time, you were quite the maverick, you are still very cute.”
The Eldest Princess also recalled a cute brother who was eleven or twelve years old.
Wei Luo never thought that his wife would use that word to describe himself.
He looked into the bed beside him and saw that she was already lying down, her cheeks were rosy, and there was still a smile in her eyes.
Wei Luo also didn’t appreciate her gaze.
So, he lifted the quilt and approached her bed.
Yin Hui couldn’t muster a laugh anymore, and her look toward him swiftly shifted into the gaze of a wife towards her husband, desiring to share the warmth together.
At dusk, all the princes, princesses, and concubines gathered their children and set off from various directions to the palace.
In the past, Emperor Yongping was usually the last to arrive at family banquets in the Yan Palace, but that night he arrived early, engaging in conversation with the Empress.
Not long after, the children from outside the palace arrived one after another.
Emperor Yongping hadn’t examined them closely in front of the city gate the day before, so he took a careful look at the family.
Well, his eldest son had gotten a bit fuller, and the eldest daughter-in-law appeared thinner, looking even more worn compared to her husband.
Emperor Yongping’s thoughts turned to the Xu family.
Xu Yao, who had scolded him and led troops to encircle and suppress him three years ago, still stubbornly refused to acknowledge him as a monarch even after he ascended the throne. If he could have his way, Emperor Yongping genuinely wanted to pull Xu Yao out and behead him for public display. However, the old man was a great hero in the founding of the dynasty; he had given him Empress Xu and his eldest daughter-in-law. So, he merely stripped Xu Yao of his title and allowed Xu Yao’s eldest son to take his place.
The eldest daughter-in-law was still too young, so it was fine.
After them, the second child’s family came.
When the five sons were young, Emperor Yongping actually liked his second child very much. There was no other reason; he just praised him alone.
With his second child’s beard grown, he looked more stable, and his second daughter-in-law remained proud, with good looks.
Following them were the third child’s family.
Emperor Yongping looked at his third son a few more times. He had always observed him in the past few years. Emperor Yongping was accustomed to his third son growing a beard. He didn’t expect it to be trimmed when he returned to Pingcheng.
His third daughter-in-law had not changed much either. She possessed the same beauty as his second daughter-in-law and the demeanor of his eldest daughter-in-law, appearing more mellow and without airs. (ego)
Emperor Yongping still remembered the letter she wrote the previous year. It was that letter that led him to change the strategy.
Yes, she was a commendable daughter-in-law.
Then there was his fourth son in the family of three; his fourth son still had a beard, and the fourth daughter-in-law’s appearance remained the same, increasingly resembling a lady from the Central Plains.
As for the Eldest Princess and the Second Princess, Emperor Yongping glanced at Zhao Mao, who didn’t dare to look directly at him, then looked at Yang Pengju, who was imposing, and smiled faintly.
He had to pick his son-in-law himself!
