"roll!"
Marquis Yiyang rolled out again, and his attendants, who were helping him up, were already used to it.
He straightened up, feeling relieved that his wife hadn't fathered an illegitimate child with another man, yet also secretly saddened by her departure for the capital.
With a husband like this, he is truly the most pathetic person in the world.
So what if I'm a coward?
He did it willingly.
Yan Qing is a bit cold-hearted, but fortunately she didn't lie to him and made everything clear when he proposed to her.
She said she had someone in her heart, someone she was afraid she would never be able to let go of, and even when she was in love, she only wanted to face that person's portrait.
As long as she can't let go of that man, she will treat him like a slave.
If you want to be a slave, a dog wagging its tail at her feet, then marry her.
Wei Hanqing chose to be a sycophant without hesitation.
The fact that she was born into the family had been a thorn in his side for years, but since his wife said she was his daughter, then he would accept her as his daughter for the time being!
However, they were going to the capital...
The capital city!
...
"The capital is the imperial capital of our Great Yan Dynasty, right under the emperor's nose. When you get there, just stay at your maternal grandparents' house. What doesn't your maternal grandparents' house have? Why are you preparing all this?"
Wei Pingxi pointed to all the odds and ends that Yu Zhi had tidied up, and looking around, there was even an incense burner.
"Are you trying to empty out my Jingzhe Courtyard?"
Yu Zhi spread her hands: "Do you really not know how difficult you are to please? The bedding has to be fragrant and soft. Choosing a blanket is like choosing a woman; you sleep on whichever one has the prettiest pattern."
"The flowers on the satin shouldn't be gaudy, or they'll hurt your eyes. The quilt shouldn't be too thick, or it'll make you feel hot and bothered. And the pillow..."
She spoke with great confidence and knowledge; Wei Pingxi wouldn't have known she had so many flaws until she mentioned it.
"Take them all with you, so you won't have trouble sleeping."
If she doesn't sleep well, she won't be in a good mood, and if she's in a bad mood, she might cause her some trouble.
Yu Zhi was busy in an orderly manner, but someone standing there was particularly in the way. She pushed the fourth young lady and said, "Let go of me."
"You've gotten bolder, daring to push me now?"
"I didn't mean to, you were blocking my way..."
Wei Pingxi raised her hand and scattered the bundle that she had painstakingly packed: "Stop packing. Have Jade and Agate make a list of everything and send it to the Grand Tutor's mansion. You do all the work, what are they supposed to do? You, as a concubine, should take a good rest."
"you!"
Seeing her hard work ruined, Yu Zhi's eyes reddened with anger: "You have no shame! It's one thing to mess with me, but to mess with the Grand Tutor's mansion too?"
“My maternal grandparents’ family, they’re happy to let me mess with them.”
"I can't argue with you."
"That's how it is."
"..."
Wei Pingxi smiled and put his arm around her waist from behind. Yu Zhi lazily tried to break free a couple of times, but seeing that she couldn't, she gave up.
"With fair legs and a supple waist, a kind and gentle heart, it would be a pity to have her as a concubine."
Yu Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
"I don't like it when people covet my things. It feels like someone could take my job and crush me into the dust at any moment."
"So I instigated the conflict between the first and second wives, partly for your sake, and the other half because I couldn't stand them and wanted them to fight to the death."
"Perhaps I was originally in the dust and mud. The Wei family is the dust and mud."
"There's plenty of dust and grime in this world that can trap people. Look at you, you've become my concubine, haven't you?"
She gently nuzzled the beauty's neck: "But you will be the most carefree concubine in the world."
The warm breath brushed against her ear, and Yu Zhi's waist went limp.
Their bodies were intimately connected day and night, and whenever Wei Pingxi was affectionate with her, her body would naturally respond in an inviting manner.
This is shameful.
It is also beyond our control.
“Under the emperor’s nose, powerful and wealthy people are as common as dogs. It’s not safe for a concubine like you to go there. So why don’t you ask me to elevate you to the position of wife?”
wife.
What a dignified and enchanting status!
Yu Zhi dared not speak, fearing that if she did, she would no longer be able to remain a concubine.
"Cowardly as a mouse."
After waiting for a while and seeing that she hadn't done anything, Wei Pingxi's interest was ruined. He lifted his leg to leave, but finally stopped at the threshold: "Before you leave, go see your mother."
"May I?"
The fourth young lady snapped, "Go if you want, don't go if you don't!"
"Thank you, Xixi!"
She called out a cheerful "Xi Xi," and Wei Pingxi's lips curled up. When she realized she was laughing, she glanced at the jade agate out of the corner of her eye.
Jade and agate were busy making lists, and were extremely busy.
No one saw her smile. A glimmer of light appeared in the Fourth Miss's gloomy heart. She waved her sleeve and said, "If you want to thank me, come and thank me with your body tonight!"
She stepped out the door.
Jade and Agate breathed a sigh of relief: Miss's temper is getting stranger and stranger! What a fickle woman! She laughs, but doesn't want anyone to see it!
Fortunately, the two sisters were quick-witted.
Yu Zhi covered her face in embarrassment—when would the Fourth Miss be able to put her words about lusting after her body in a more subtle way!
She was delighted to be able to see her mother and prepared a bright and beautiful dress. Although her mother couldn't see, she could still tell whether the fabric was good or not by touch.
She was dressed neatly, and her mother would be at ease knowing that.
But now that I'm going to the capital, I don't know when I'll be able to return.
Yu Zhi changed into her favorite clothes, put on a snow cloak, and wore thick cashmere boots. She looked at herself in the full-length mirror several times, feeling quite satisfied.
Outside, the wind and snow were swirling. Miss Wei waited outside the door: "Are you done yet?"
The door opened, and a charming and radiant beauty spread her arms and twirled halfway around, her eyes as clear as a deer's: "Xi Xi, do you think I look good in this outfit?"
Wei Pingxi calmly admired her beauty and charm, her purity and obedience, marveling at how he had found a treasure.
She said, "It looks good."
Looking across the entire Great Yan Dynasty, which concubine would dare to dress like this? Wouldn't she be afraid of being beaten to death by the mistress?
But the brighter she was, the more Wei Pingxi liked her.
She doesn't care how others live their lives, but she shouldn't concern herself with any of the rules of the world.
She reached out her hand, and Yu Zhi shyly took it, secretly observing the Fourth Miss today.
Dressed in white with subtle silver embroidery, she exuded both nobility and ethereal beauty.
Her expression softened considerably as she lowered her eyes and quietly watched their clasped hands.
The fourth young lady had slender, supple fingers and a warm, white complexion.
Although she was a martial artist, her hands were much more delicate than those of the average martial artist, and they had caused her unspeakable pain more than once.
The warm carriage was sheltered from the wind and snow outside by curtains.
Wei Pingxi held her on his lap, and Yu Zhi dozed off in her arms.
"Xi Xi...would you like to sing a children's song from Lingnan Prefecture?"
"I won't sing."
Yu Zhi nudged her with her head like a cat, her voice tinged with a soft, drowsy tone: "Sing a song."
"Are you a little kid? Why do you need to listen to nursery rhymes?"
"Aren't you a child too?"
She was unusually bold, whether she was asleep or about to fall asleep.
Wei Pingxi ordered the kitchen to cook bone broth for her every day, but it didn't work. If he said anything during the day that made her cry, he could expect to be kicked at night, especially in the middle of the night.
Many times she was glad that this woman didn't know martial arts, otherwise she would have lost her legs.
Thinking of this, Wei Pingxi's calves throbbed slightly.
Her concubines were different from those of ordinary families, and she liked this difference. Occasionally, when she was in a good mood, she would indulge in this difference.
She sighed softly and hummed a nursery rhyme.
Yu Zhi got her wish and was smiling even in her dreams.
She fell into a deep sleep, and the fourth young lady quietly kissed her eyebrows and eyes.
The carriage stopped at No. 3 Baihu Street, and gifts of all sizes were delivered to the door.
After visiting Yu's mother, Wei Pingxi learned that Yao Chenzi was so worried about her eye disease that she had been losing hair recently. Out of kindness, Wei Pingxi decided to visit the miracle doctor who lived next door.
While Yu Zhi was talking to her mother, Wei Pingxi knocked on the door next door and immediately saw Yao Chenzi, who was studying and issuing prescriptions in the courtyard.
Yao Chenzi's handsome face aged several years with worry: "You've come."
He spoke weakly, and the fairy-like fourth young lady smiled and teased, "You're close to women? You look completely drained."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yao Chenzi vowed never to marry and to take herbs as his wife.
He forced himself to stay awake all night reading ancient books, but it's not what you're thinking.
"You even explained it?"
