I never expected that my aunt would still remember after all these years.
She really liked that porcelain doll back then, but unfortunately it was smashed by that scoundrel Ji Qingyao.
Did Ji Qingyao only shatter her porcelain doll?
No, what was shattered was her perfect fantasy about the word "cousin".
The porcelain doll was a gift from my aunt, but it was my aunt's daughter who broke it. There's no way to settle this score with her.
It's kind of my aunt to remember.
Remember to give her something even more exquisite and interesting than it was back then.
She's long past the age of liking porcelain dolls; what she cherishes is the pure affection of being held and cared for in someone's hands.
"You like it that much?" Yu Zhi rested her chin on her hand. "You've been watching it the whole way."
Wei Pingxi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his eyes narrowed: "Doesn't this porcelain doll look like you?"
Yu Zhi opened her eyes wide to look, but couldn't see any resemblance to her. She pouted and said, "It's more like you. My face isn't that silly."
hiss!
"Is my face really that simple?" Wei Pingxi pointed incredulously at his face, which was so beautiful it was almost unbearable.
To get the beauty to reveal her true thoughts, she suddenly leaned in, so that Yu Zhi would open her alluring eyes wide and see clearly.
Yu Zhi leaned back guiltily, not daring to say that the Fourth Miss had almost kissed her in her excitement.
However, it was too difficult to call Wei Pingxi naive based on her face. Her conscience bothered her, and she stammered, her eyes darting away.
Miss Wei snorted lightly: "Fine, I'll let you off. Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense again."
She then played with the pair of white porcelain dolls, taking off and putting on the handmade embroidered capes repeatedly, just like a child, so childish!
Yu Zhi secretly grumbled to herself, looking at the Fourth Miss who rarely showed a bit of childlike innocence, and what came to mind was the scene in Fushou Palace where the Fourth Miss drew her sword to protect her.
It has to be said, it's very touching.
Shocking and moving.
If the Fourth Miss had treated her this way earlier, she would have immediately packed her bags and offered herself to her.
But now her person already belongs to this man.
She had been intimate with her body countless times.
Yu Zhi stared intently at the Fourth Miss, a little afraid of being discovered. Her focus concealed a secretive urge, like someone having an affair, someone reveling in their own world. As she looked at Wei Pingxi, a different kind of feeling welled up inside her.
She finally understood why so many men and women in her past life refused to accept the bad news about this person, and she finally understood why some people would die for her.
Being noticed and cherished by the Fourth Miss is a kind of luck, and no one wants to lose this luck.
She didn't want to either.
Because when someone likes you, they cherish you with all their heart and protect you with their life. Even the King of Heaven can't stop them from saying, "She's mine."
She was too beautiful, too sharp, too arrogant, wasting the beautiful face her parents gave her, and doing all sorts of lawless things.
But if you ask yourself honestly, who could resist the gentle yet ruthless fourth young lady?
What kind of happiness would it be to be loved by her sincerely for even a day, an hour, or a moment?
Yu Zhi appeared calm on the surface, but her sensitive heart was quietly trembling.
For Miss Yu, liking someone is an ethereal thing, so how luxurious must love be?
Instead of hoping for her love, it's better to hope for her tender words and intimate moments in bed.
The fourth young lady is fearless and will forget about any beautiful scenery along the way. At most, she might say "beautiful".
Yu Zhi gently touched her cheek, feeling grateful that God had given her such a beautiful appearance.
She was both attracted and afraid of Wei Pingxi.
She feared that one day she would fall uncontrollably in love with her, but the truth was that at that moment, her eyes were already glued to her.
Yu Zhi's fingertips trembled as she quietly, quietly clutched the hem of the Fourth Miss's dress.
Wei Pingxi was unaware of the bittersweet struggle in her heart.
Wei Pingxi chuckled as he toyed with the two white porcelain dolls, calling out the embroidered cloak and snow-white overcoat, and pulling a red scarf to put around the neck of the other doll, his eyes sparkling with a unique kind of joy.
She must really like it.
Firstly, it was given by the Empress; secondly, this person's tastes are indeed quite peculiar at times.
At eighteen years old, she loved playing "dress-up" games. Yu Zhi's lips curled up as she stared intently at her.
She was looking at the Fourth Miss, who let out a soft sigh as she looked at the tiny, millet-sized characters engraved on the backs of the two porcelain dolls.
The doll wearing an embroidered cloak had "Xi Xi" engraved on its back, while the doll wrapped in a snow-white cloak had "Zhi Zhi" engraved on its back. Wei Pingxi's face fell: Aunt, what do you mean by this?
For some reason, her first thought was, "Does my aunt also think I'm simple-minded?"
Wei Pingxi shook his head, shaking off the abnormal thoughts in his mind, his expression slightly stunned.
The white porcelain dolls are a pair.
My aunt is saying that she and Zhizhi are a couple.
Do you really think highly of her concubine?
A strange feeling welled up inside her. She looked up and saw Yu Zhi staring at her intently. She snapped, "What are you looking at? Don't look around!"
She behaves one way when she's happy and another when she's unhappy; she has a temper like a dog. Yu Zhi adapts well to this, her willow-leaf eyes curving upwards.
Perhaps because she had spent a lot of time with her and knew what kind of person she was, she actually found the temperamental fourth young lady quite adorable.
Especially her personality, which is so different from her pretty face, gives people a sense of novelty that they never get tired of.
"Laugh, what are you laughing at?" Wei Pingxi secretly hid the pair of white porcelain dolls. Yu Zhi teased her, leaning forward to look.
"Don't look!"
She covered the back of the white porcelain doll.
Is there anything I can't see?
"There are plenty of things you can't see. You can only see what I allow you to see. If I don't allow you to see, you'd better know your place, understand?"
"Understand."
She carefully put away the pair of porcelain dolls as if they were thieves, closed the box, and locked it, which made her feel much more at ease.
My aunt is really something.
How can you randomly matchmake couples?
Yu Zhi didn't miss a single subtle expression on her face, wondering what made her feel ashamed, angry, and annoyed.
The carriage traveled towards the Grand Tutor's mansion. The Fourth Miss leaned back, enduring the pain in her buttocks as she leaned comfortably against the soft pillow behind her: "Come here."
Yu Zhi nestled against her obediently.
Wei Pingxi pinched her chin and kissed her soft lips, making her moan softly and beg for mercy.
After staying in the palace for several days, they caused quite a stir. Outside the Grand Tutor's mansion, the old Grand Tutor and his wife, along with their family, eagerly awaited their arrival.
As soon as the man stepped off the carriage, the old lady rushed up to him: "Oh dear, my darling grandson! Did the Empress scold you?"
"How did Grandmother know?!"
News from the palace spread so quickly?
The old lady held her hand and looked her over, checking if she was missing any limbs: "Yes, the whole capital probably knows that you were beaten by the Empress, or that you were kicked out of the palace by the Empress. Tell me about this..."
Wei Pingxi's beautiful eyes darted around, and she immediately guessed whose handiwork it was.
Aside from the beautiful princess of the Moon Palace who hates her to death, who else would love to see her lose face?
The whole capital was abuzz with rumors that she had been "kicked out" by the Empress, but Wei Pingxi didn't care at all: "Grandfather, Grandmother, Uncle, Aunt, I'm fine. The rumors are all false."
"I knew it! I knew that even if you committed a terrible crime, the Empress wouldn't punish you..."
Grand Tutor Yan cleared his throat and asked, "Xi Xi, what have you done?"
"I broke into the Empress Dowager's palace."
"..."
The old lady felt dizzy.
"Grandmother? Grandmother!"
"It's alright, it's alright, stop shouting..." The old lady opened her eyes and said weakly, "You're lucky to have come out alive."
Wei Pingxi chuckled twice: "It's all thanks to my aunt and maternal grandparents' family for support."
Madam Wei gave her a reproachful look: "You're such a worrywart. Go inside and apply the medicine properly."
"Applying medicine!?" The old lady tugged at her grandson's sleeve. "What do you mean by applying medicine? Did you really get beaten?"
She was old and Wei Pingxi dared not speak any further, whispering, "I was beaten, but not seriously. My aunt is on my side after all."
Old Madam Yan glanced at her grandson's bottom with a veiled look: "Come on, come on, hurry inside to apply the medicine." She suddenly turned around: "Can you still walk? Have someone carry you inside?"
Grand Tutor Yan, a shrewd man who commanded respect throughout the court, immediately made the decision: "They must be carried in! Men! Carry Miss Biao in!"
Having just left the palace gates, Wei Pingxi was immediately carried into the Grand Tutor's mansion by a large entourage of nimble maids.
Soon, new rumors spread in the capital: the Fourth Miss had caused a great disaster during her trip to the palace, and was beaten so badly that her skin was torn and bleeding before she came out, which was quite pitiful.
At the Pen and Ink Pavilion, scholars and literati gathered, but the atmosphere was somber.
"Did you really break it? Do you know what kind of trouble you've caused?"
"It seems...it seems like someone has offended the Empress Dowager?"
"hiss……"
Someone gasped in shock: "She's capable of doing this."
"To be precise, it wasn't that he disobeyed the Empress Dowager, but that he trespassed into the Empress Dowager's palace and was punished by the Empress. The Empress is in charge of the inner palace, and she is strict in her laws and never shows favoritism. Even if she is reluctant, she still has to punish him."
"Then why did she trespass into the Empress Dowager's palace? Surely she didn't think it was fun and just wanted to break in for fun?"
"This...this might be possible?"
