It was said that women's hearts were like the seabed needle, but in the eyes of the court officials, the monarch's heart was like the seabed needle, they were completely unable to grasp what the Emperor Tiansun was thinking. However, with the power of the Xiao Fei's mother and the departure of the empress, as well as the fact that the Xiao Fei was the strongest in the palace, she had gained the status of saint. Therefore, many people were secretly waiting for the Xu Family to make a fool of themselves. If the Emperor Tiansun were to go and the First Prince were to sit in that position, would the Second Prince, who had once fought for the throne, be able to obtain benefits? It would be difficult!
After receiving the news from Lady Helan's side, Xu Mingwei immediately rushed over to the Drunken Star Residence and pretended to be angry: "To think that the two of you were the best people in the past. For such a huge matter, it was really hard for Sister Mei to hide it from me!"
Xu Mingmei thought that she was really angry and hurriedly explained, "It's not like that, Mingwei, listen to my explanation. I didn't know who he was at first, but when I was given this Jade Plum Blossom, he revealed his identity, saying that he would get the ice man to come and beg. I only thought that he was playing with me. How could a prince marry with his own free will? With my identity, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to enter the eyes of those nobles. "A few days ago, this thing fell out and you all saw it. I was extremely anxious. I was afraid that this matter wouldn't end up as a joke for you all, but I was also afraid that this matter had really ended up like this …"
Seeing that she was so anxious that she was about to cry, Xu Mingwei knew that the Sister Mei that never had any other worries, was actually suffering greatly over the past few days. He immediately comforted her in a softer tone, "Sister Mei, don't worry, I was just joking with you, I'm not really angry at you. This is a good thing, now that it's done, you can just focus on embroidering with us and wait for us to leave. It's useless for us to think too much about other matters. However, ask yourself, if the Second Prince really has any difficulties in the future, will you still be willing to marry him? "
Xu Mingmei quickly glanced at her, her face blushing red again. In such a situation, what else was there to say? Naturally, she was willing.
Xu Mingwei was curious as to how the two of them met each other, but after a careful inquiry, she found out that it was actually eight days ago, when they were instructing the servants to set up the porridge shop. Coincidentally, the Second Prince had walked past and taken a fancy to Xu Mingmei who was wearing a pink jacket at that time.
Xu Mingwei thought that this was true love. They were all wearing conical hats to cover their faces that day, but they could actually see each other's eyes just like that! The later part of the story was simple. The Second Prince had asked for the information of someone, and the two of them had not privately arranged to meet with such an outlandish person even though they had taken advantage of the fact that their wife had sent a message.
No matter what, Xu Mingmei finally had a good home to return to. Old Master Xu did not oppose the marriage. Instead, he made an exception and told Old Lady Xu, in the end, he still wanted to marry the prince. When Xu Mingmei left the pavilion in the future, he would have to be careful and not ruin the Xu family's reputation. Old Lady Xu naturally agreed, and turned around to give the order to Lady Helan.
It was not difficult to get Xu Mingmei's dowry, after all, Lady Ji had the money. Lady Helan only extended her hands out towards the second house. She was also very happy that she was able to get the banknotes so easily. This was not lacking in money nor in methods to be used, Xu Mingmei's dowry was more or less done in a few months.
Xu Mingwei would go to the Lady Helan's courtyard to help out for half a day every day. However, the Lady Helan couldn't bear it anymore, so on the day of the Women's Day, he specially sent Xu Mingwei to go out with a few of her cousins to look at the red leaves on the mountain.
Xu Mingwei thought that it had been a long time since she had to relax her muscles and bones, so she nodded in agreement. When Xu Mingmei and the others heard that they were able to see the red leaves, they were extremely happy and excited. They had already ordered the servants in the house to prepare them, as if they were planning to go on a long journey.
On the day of Women's Day, the Xu family's carriages were mixed in with the carriages that left the city, and they came across many familiar families. Since the Lady Helan could not come, she had to bring four ladies with her. She was not as friendly as the Lady Helan, she only greeted politely and did not walk with the other families. He really made Xu Mingdong disappointed. He frowned, "Just now, Sister Ping was greeting me through the window. Right now, I don't know where her car is, if I could bump into it on the mountain, it would be good. It's been quite some time since I last talked to her."
Xu Mingwei and the others could only console her. Jing Shan was just that big, and everyone wanted to go in that direction, so they would eventually meet him. Only then did Xu Mingdong become a little happier, and no longer released any cold air.
Just as they had expected, carriages from various families were already parked at the foot of the mountain. The coachman of the Xu family spent a lot of effort to find an open space and settle down all three carriages. Then, he cut the grass and went to feed the horses. Lady Liang had her wife spend money to hire him a few palanquins, and after everyone split up and sat down, some of the women carried their boxes of tea and fruit and followed him up the mountain.
Lady Liang was annoyed, she still had many things to take care of at home, so with a few words from her elder sister-in-law, she decided to call her over. The job of bringing along their daughter to admire the flowers was obviously more suitable for that idiot from three rooms. Suddenly he heard the girls behind him laughing behind the palanquin. He was annoyed that they had left the room, so he floated up and lost his composure. He wanted to dissuade them a bit, but he changed his mind. After all, he was outside and wasn't in a good position to be noticed by others, so he held it in.
The bearers stopped when they were almost to the mountainside. When Lady Liang told her wife to put down the blanket at the place, she thought that the girls might be making a ruckus and went to the side, but after a while, she told them that she had a headache from the mountain wind and hid in the shade to take a short nap.
Without her restriction, Xu Mingwei and the others were happy to be free. Xu Mingdong first said that he wanted to go find Big Sister Ping, then brought the two girls and his wife to a place where there were many shadows. Xu Minglan's face slightly flushed. She also said that she was going to look for an acquaintance, and before Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingmei could ask her, she ran off while holding onto the corner of her skirt.
Xu Mingwei looked at Xi Chun's figure that was chasing after her, and turned to look at Xu Mingmei and joked, "There are only Sister Mei left, do you have any other people that are familiar with you that want to go and reminisce about old times?"
Xu Mingmei was startled by her question, and answered, "I don't have anyone in the capital who is particularly good. Where did the Seventh Sister come from?"
After a while, she reacted and swung her fist, about to punch Xu Mingwei, spitting out words, "You wicked heart, you actually started to scheme me. As a sister, I haven't even asked you, but what kind of people from the Fu family are waiting for you in the bushes?"
Fortunately, her words were spoken softly, otherwise, it would not be good for others to hear. Xu Mingwei immediately covered Xu Mingmei's mouth to prevent her from saying anything, the Lady Liang noticed their movements and flew over. Seeing that Xu Mingdong and Xu Minglan were not around, she thought they had gone to play, but did not mind, so she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Xu Mingmei stuck his tongue out in fear, and repented, "Fourth Aunt almost heard it. My good sister, I was wrong.
Since he came out to admire the red leaves, he should take a look around. Xu Mingwei nodded his head and agreed. He brought Wan Rong and the others and picked up the small path that led to the top of the mountain. There were other daughters from other families along the way, and most of them were like them, only taking their maidservants and following without seniors. Probably, the Lady Liang s like the ladies in the inner chambers did not like to walk and sweat, so this road became a special path for the young girls, they lightly laughed, and they were as clear and melodious as silver bells. It was at the apex of his heart, but there was something else in it.
Xu Mingmei was busy picking the leaves by the side of the road, and accidentally twisted her ankle. Xu Mingwei wanted to send her off the mountain, but Xu Mingmei refused.
"It wasn't easy to get out of here. It's such a pity that I lost my interest because of such a small problem!" Seventh Sister, you just have to climb up by yourself. "If you ever get to the top of the mountain and fold one of my best flowers, I'll take it as though I've been there myself."
Seeing that she was adamant, Xu Mingwei reminded them to carefully carry Xu Mingmei back to Lady Liang. They were only a hundred steps away from the top of the mountain. It was indeed a pity to give up. Xu Mingwei then brought Wan Rong and the others to continue walking up the stone steps, but no one came down along the way. It was estimated that very few people would be able to reach the top, so they could be alone for a while.
The mountain breeze blew carelessly, causing the clothes of the three girls to flutter, causing them to almost have the illusion that they were about to be blown away by the wind. Wan Rong was afraid that Xu Mingwei would get a chill, hence she hurriedly put on the cape that he brought along with her. However, it was a thick scarlet woolen cloth with smooth and dense tentacles. Xu Mingwei suddenly felt that this material was comfortable, and she tilted her head to rub it against the cape, the coldness in her eyes softened in an instant.
The girl in front of him had a picturesque appearance. She was wearing a scarlet cape that accentuated her snow-white skin. The deeper the redness, the whiter the whiteness. It was so cold that it could be described as a painting. However, she suddenly revealed such an expression again. It was so fragile that it made people want to tightly embrace her in their embrace. They couldn't bear that she was tainted by the mortal world.
Fu Heng thought that it was weird, could it be that he was really addicted to things, and was actually swayed by this girl who had not grown up yet? He was not an inexperienced brat, and as far as he was concerned, women were only that kind of thing. After a few times, they would lose their appetite, but after meeting Xu Mingwei twice, they both felt a little strange. Her gaze returned to her face. Yes, anyone who saw such a color would have gone mad.
His eyes darkened, and he suddenly remembered the gazes of the Little Canton King and Qin Jianrui used to look at Xu Mingwei at that time, and he suddenly recalled his true motive for coming to this mountain to wait for her. In his heart, he was secretly annoyed that he had almost made a mistake. When he walked out from behind the tree, his face was also slightly raised, but in Xu Mingwei's eyes, he misunderstood, thinking that he had done something to offend him.
