Reborn Lady - Chapter 372
It had been a long time since she saw him. Of course, Yin Hui missed Wei Luo, and she cared deeply as well. At night, she would nest in Wei Luo’s arms, and they would talk softly.
There was no regularity in the topics. One moment they talked about Ning Ning, and the next, they talked about the oranges in the garden that were about to ripen.
“By the way, I heard from my Second Sister-in-law that after next year, the Emperor will select women to add to the harem,” Yin Hui suddenly remembered, excitement evident in her voice as she spoke to Wei Luo.
Wei Luo didn’t understand her excitement. Adding more people to the harem, maybe even his mother wouldn’t take it to heart.
Seeing the calmness in his eyes, Yin Hui reminded him, “It is said that he is going to arrange marriages for some of his grandsons, and our Ah Heng will be seventeen next year. I wonder if he will also arrange his marriage.”
At this moment, Wei Luo finally frowned.
Frowning, he said, “Probably not, it’s too early.”
He got married at the age of twenty, with his eldest and second brothers marrying earlier than him, but the earliest was his sister who married at eighteen.
With so many grandchildren, marriages should be arranged in batches. Next year, only Da Lang, Er Lang, San Lang, and Si Lang would be arranged. To address the marriages of the next three or four grandchildren, the father still needed to have the leisure to care.
Yin Hui also thought that their son was still young, so there was no rush; marrying at the age of twenty was just right.
Ji Xianxian’s words echoed in her mind, and Yin Hui asked again, “Do you think we should arrange housemaids for Ah Heng and Ah Xun?”
Yin Hui herself didn’t really want to prepare housemaids for her sons. How extravagant, Yin Hui still remembered vividly that Wei Luo was twenty at the time he got married to her, and the timing was right. Now, her two sons were still immature, in the stage of growing up. If they had their own housemaids too early, it might hinder their development.
Besides, perhaps their sons would also find loving wives whom they would willingly cherish in the future.
Wei Luo continued to frown, indicating his disagreement with the idea. However, just because Wei Luo himself didn’t need a housemaid didn’t mean his sons didn’t need one. Ah Xun could wait for another two years, but Ah Heng had reached the appropriate age.
“I’ll ask him. If he wants it himself, you can find two for him. If he doesn’t want it, forget it,” Yin Hui suggested, stroking her brows, then suddenly smiled. “When you were his age, did you have a housemaid?”
Anyway, when she married into the Yan Palace, Wei Luo didn’t have a housemaid by her side, and there probably wasn’t one before. Otherwise, the majestic grandson of the Emperor wouldn’t have dismissed the housemaids just because he wanted to marry his first wife.
Wei Luo looked at her.
She was beautiful, her smile captivating, making it hard to discern her true feelings.
Wei Luo suspected that if he mentioned having an intimate relationship, her current smile would freeze instantly, followed by a burst of temper. She was timid yet possessed a strong sense of jealousy.
Pulling her into his arms and embracing her, Wei Luo said, “Mother prepared four maids for me to choose from, but I didn’t want any.”
Actually, it was likely Empress Renxiao’s intention. When his second brother was fifteen, Concubine Li directly picked two housemaids she had chosen for him. However, given his mother’s humble background, she didn’t dare to make any demands. So, Empress Renxiao arranged for four maids to be taught and then sent to his mother.
Wei Luo was not used to socializing with strangers, let alone being with a woman who didn’t understand, so he refused.
Yin Hui poked him on the shoulder, saying “The Empress was very kind, but if you refuse firmly, are you not afraid that the Empress will be angry?”
Wei Luo smiled.
He was only fifteen years old at the time; how could he think so much? He would do what had to be done no matter how hard and tiring, and what didn’t have to be done, such as whether to be with someone; he could always be his own master.
For this reason, he rejected the kindness of Empress Renxiao and the kindness of his father.
Now, at this age, as husband and wife, they shared love, and he would not ask for a housemaid to make her sad.
“Don’t be afraid, if you don’t need it, you don’t need it,” Wei Luo said while lightly pinching her earlobe, gazing at her.
Yin Hui seemed to see the promise in his eyes.
In fact, she was just teasing and didn’t want to be serious, but why did Yin Hui’s heart feel uplifted when her man was so attentive?
She held his face and kissed his thin lips.
Back then, the grandson of the Emperor of the Yan Palace was so noble and proud, he wouldn’t even tolerate a kiss, let alone wiping her saliva in disgust. Now…
Feeling Wei Luo’s warmth and enthusiasm, Yin Hui felt a sweet sensation in her heart.
The next morning, the family of five went to the palace to pay respects to Emperor Yongping and Concubine Shun. After leaving the palace, the carriage headed towards the Jichang Mansion.
The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so since Wei Luo was in the capital, there was no reason not to accompany his wife back to her natal home for the festival.
Yin Yong was seventy-one years old, with white hair and a childlike face, his once straight waist had finally become bent.
Last year, the old man celebrated his 70th birthday. Unfortunately, Yin Hui and Wei Luo had to attend the funeral for Empress Renxiao, so they couldn’t come to the birthday banquet in person. They only sent their children and birthday gifts. However, Emperor Yongping in the palace also gave a reward to the old man. This was a great honor, and probably only the group of confidants around Emperor Yongping would have this treatment when they celebrated their birthdays in the future. Therefore, although Yin Hui regretted not being able to come in person,
Yin Yong was overjoyed that day.
“Wow, Ah Heng is almost catching up with me,” he remarked upon seeing his great-grandson, smiling even more brightly than when he saw his own granddaughter.
Wei Heng knew just how to please the old man and had brought back a few jars of fine wine from Pingcheng.
Surrounded by the children, Yin Yong happily went inside, while Yin Lang and his wife came out to entertain Prince and Princess Shu
Last year, being the year of Chunwei, Yin Lang, who was already a Juren, participated in Chunwei and was named on the list. His results in the palace examination were also commendable, leading Emperor Yongping to arrange for him to be an official in the Ministry of Finance.
