Reborn Lady - Chapter 377
Ji Xianxian pondered the situation and came to an understanding.
Yin Hui had little to worry about. Her husband was devoted, her children sensible, and she enjoyed the most leisure among the five sisters-in-law.
As for Concubine Meng, she was merely a concubine in the East Hall. While Xu Qingwan may feign nobility and disdain to engage in jealousy, Concubine Meng faced competition from two exceptionally beautiful side concubines. If Concubine Meng wished to maintain her favor, she would need to exert considerable effort.
Women were most afraid of worrying. If they spent too much time worrying, wrinkles would appear.
Observing Ji Xianxian’s shifting emotions and wandering gaze, Yin Hui eventually caught on. With a sudden realization, she touched her own face, adopting an air of leisurely indifference, as if she had just comprehended something while idly watching others’ dramas.
Everyone disembarked from the boat. After Yin Hui ensured that all three children were doing well, she climbed into the carriage with her daughter.
Meanwhile, Wei Luo and his sons mounted their horses one after another, trailing behind the carriage.
Yin Hui raised the curtain of the carriage, alternating between gazing at the passing scenery outside and chatting with her two sons.
At eighteen and sixteen respectively, Wei Heng and Wei Xun were both slender and tall. While Wei Heng exuded a sense of majesty when angered, he was remarkably gentle when he smiled. But he was more reserved and less inclined to smile, his demeanor resembling that of his father.
“Mother, who do you think will attract more girls when my brothers stand together?” Wei Ning leaned over and asked with a smile upon noticing her mother observing her brothers.
The little girl didn’t bother to lower her voice, and both Wei Heng and Wei Xun overheard her question. Wei Heng smiled and glanced at his mother, while Wei Xun blushed slightly.
Yin Hui found it difficult to choose, so she replied, “They are both the same in my heart.”
Both brothers chuckled at their mother’s response.
Wei Ning scoffed, “Mother is dishonest.”
Yin Hui turned to her daughter and asked, “Well, who do you choose?”
She said, “I prefer Father.”
Yin Hui regarded her daughter with a look that said, “You silly child.”
Turning around, Wei Luo happened to catch this exchange. However, he didn’t take it to heart. Though she often seemed to disdain his cold characteristic, she never brought up the past. Instead, her behavior over the past month—her tenderness, sweetness, allure, and clinginess—was sufficient evidence of her love for him.
As the carriage neared Pingcheng and the number of people on the roadside increased, Yin Hui reluctantly lowered the curtains.
Upon arriving at the Shu Mansion, the family once again became busy.
On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Yongping, the four Concubines, the Crown Prince, and a group of civil and military ministers from Jinling arrived in the new capital.
The four princes brought officials from the new capital out of the city to welcome them, and Xu Qingwan and the Eldest Princess also brought the royal relatives outside the city.
Except for them, all the people in and around Pingcheng rushed over. As soon as the Emperor appeared on the official road in the distance, the people spontaneously knelt down and shouted, “Long live the emperor.”
Jinling formed a strong contrast.
Not to mention what Emperor Yongping felt, Yin Hui was aroused by the enthusiasm of the people; this was the people’s heart, and the people in Yandi supported her father-in-law.
Emperor Yongping got off the Imperial Chariot, changed to riding a horse, and rode in front of the people first.
The guards followed closely, and so did the Crown Prince.
After staying on the ship for a month with no activity, the Crown Prince was already restless. After getting off the ship, he rode a horse and guarded the side of the Imperial Chariot. The bright August sun shone brightly, making the Crown Prince’s face flushed.
Compared with him, the sixty-year-old Emperor was old and strong, with few white hairs on his head. He had the robustness of generals and the unique grace and luxury of an Emperor.
In the eyes of the common people, Emperor Yongping was simply a shining golden dragon.
Their admiration was written on their faces. Emperor Yongping looked around and felt better. Just when he was about to change direction to meet the officials kneeling in front of the city gate, Emperor Yongping casually glanced behind him and saw the Crown Prince grabbing his sleeve and wiping the sweat from his forehead in embarrassment.
Looking at each other, the Crown Prince quickly put down his hand. There was sweat on his forehead, but when the Emperor looked at him, the beads of sweat grew even bigger.
Emperor Yongping pursed his lips.
This was his Crown Prince, a Crown Prince in his early forties. To be like this, not to mention the other princes and grandsons, even a guard was more dignified than him.
Out of sight, out of mind, Emperor Yongping simply stopped looking back.
“The servants respectfully welcome the Emperor!”
When he came to the gate of the city, the four brothers knelt down in unison.
Emperor Yongping looked at them one by one. Not to mention Wei Luo, Wei Xuan, and Wei Jing, Wei Yan was now much more pleasing to the eye than the Crown Prince.
“Father, Shier Lang told me this morning that he had a dream last night. He dreamed that a golden dragon flew to the capital, and all the people in the capital came out to worship. The golden dragon is you,” Wei Yan proudly reported.
Although he was a blatant flatterer, Emperor Yongping still smiled and glanced at his grandsons, but he couldn’t see which one was the Second Son’s Shier Lang.
There were too many grandchildren, and Emperor Yongping didn’t have a deep impression of those born in Jinling. He could only recognize Jiu Lang from the Fourth Son’s family and Shi Lang from the Fifth Son’s family immediately.
Behind Emperor Yongping, the Crown Prince looked at Wei Yan’s flattering smiling face, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
Since he came ashore, he has flattered his father a lot by lamenting the changes in Yandi all the way, and he had never seen his father give him a good face. How could his second brother’s flattery be better than his?
