Chapter 14: Resentment

Lin Weixi sadly discovered that she was always unwittingly trying to relieve Gu Chengyao, obviously she wanted to pick things up. What is even more annoying is that the people around me have to understand her words and deeds from another angle, thinking that Lin Weixi is kind-hearted and can't see her son being blamed by the prince, so that they can find a way to get out of the siege.
After solving a ghost siege, Lin Weixi was anxious that King Yan would scold Gu Chengyao for two more hours.
Lin Weixi went back to Jingtan Garden with anger. After taking off his cloak and sitting down, Wan Xing brought hot tea to Lin Weixi. Seeing Lin Weixi's face cold, he smiled and said, "What's wrong with the girl? There are still people in the palace who dare to give it. Can't be a girl?"
Wan Xing was the maid that King Yan bought to take care of Lin Weixi after Lin Weixi fell ill. Lin Weixi followed Wan Yue's name and named her Wan Xing. These two maids are now all her staff.
Wanyue put Lin Weixi's cloak away, she just heard this sentence when she came back, she replied: "Today the girl coughed up again, but it is also a loss to the girl, otherwise the elder son and concubine will not be able to come to the stage."
"What's wrong?"
Wanyue said in a few words about the meal, Wan Xing sighed for a while, and praised: "The girl is really kind. The concubine Shizi deliberately asked her nurse to run the girl, and the girl was willing to relieve them."
Who wants it? Lin Weixi replied in an angry heart. In the palace, Gao Ran is after all the daughter-in-law of the palace of Yan, Wan Xing Wanyue didn't have much to say, so he just gave it up. Wan Yue went on to say: "Isn't it, but the prince's anger today is really scary, I didn't dare to raise my head in fright, that is, the prince can speak better in the name of the girl. The prince is really strict with the prince. People, when reprimanded, they don’t leave any affection."
"Because of what?"
"It's not for Princess Shoukang. I didn't expect that King Yan would be unkind, and would be filial to the Princess."
Lin Weixi added faintly upon hearing this: "It's not that he is filial to Princess Shoukang. Although the Princess is the aunt of King Yan, how many princesses must be in the royal family? With so many uncles, nephews and aunts, I don't see him all coming close. King Yan was really filial to King Yan. When King Yan was not in the domain, he was very jealous of Sejong. It was Princess Shoukang's guarantee that King Yan could go to the country smoothly. Because of this matter, King Yan treated Princess Shoukang. The mansion is extraordinarily courteous. Gu Chengyao grew up in a fief, and he was the peak of the Yan Dynasty mansion when he was born, and everything goes smoothly. How can he understand the origins of the previous generation."
"It turns out that there is this relationship." Wan Xing asked accidentally after listening, "Girl, how do you know about the Sejong Dynasty?"
Lin Weixi took the tea immediately, and she knew that this was naturally because of what the princess Shoukang had personally said. But Lin Weixi, a lonely foreign woman, shouldn't know this. Lin Weixi was secretly alarmed, but he still casually replied: "When I was ten years old, my dad brought me to the capital to see a doctor. I stayed in the capital for almost half a year and listened to a grandpa in the alley."
Both Wan Yue and Wan Xing were next to Lin Weixi, who had come halfway, and knew nothing about Lin Weixi's past. They believed Lin Weixi's explanation. Seeing that Lin Weixi had fooled the two maids over, while she was relieved, she also secretly warned herself that she should not be so careless.
If the person who heard this today was King Yan, it would be over.
Both Wanyue and Wanxing were in Beijing for the first time, and they were also in the Royal Palace. The two of them are different from Lin Weixi's former maid, and they are very lively chatting. Now Lin Weixi's identity is no longer the same, let alone two maidservants. Wan Xing and Wan Yue were full of curiosity about the famous Yan Wang Mansion, and now they both live with Lin Weixi in Yan Wang Mansion, which is even more remarkable. They lowered their voices and talked about the tip of the iceberg in the Yanwang Mansion, but it was already a wonderful family story: "I heard that the current concubine is filling the house, and the lady in front of the concubine is also surnamed Gao. It is the sister of the concubine!"
Wan Xing covered her mouth in surprise: "My sister?"
"Correct."
Wan Xing showed an expression of amazement: "The son looks very young, and he has already married Madam Erfang."
"The prince looks only in his twenties. If he hadn't known in advance, who would have guessed that the prince's son is already seventeen."
"Yes. The eldest son is only seventeen, and the elder son is considered early."
"It's not that he got married early, it was because of the death of the previous concubine." Lin Weixi took the words, even with a smile on his face, "We were married in the first month and died at the end of the year. My sister came in in February the following year, without delaying my son's time. ."
Wan Xing and Wan Yue didn't expect Lin Weixi to answer the conversation suddenly. They didn't think too much, just sighed: "The previous concubine was too pitiful."
Poor? Lin Weixi smiled and said, "Perhaps. But King Yan is right. People in the world only look at the results, no one will ask why. She has lived her life like this, I am afraid that she herself will be to blame. Love is in good agreement, deep and righteous, it's okay to vacate the position earlier."
Wan Yue and Wan Xing looked at each other, wondering why Miss Lin suddenly gave birth to such a pessimistic emotion. Wan Xing was lively, and it was only a day’s work. She had already inquired a lot of news from the palace:
In fact, it’s not necessarily the fault of the concubine of the previous life. There are separate regulations, no gossip, no laziness, and no petty theft on the stove. Princess Yan has passed away for many years, and King Yan has been fighting abroad all the year round. It is inevitable that many rules in the palace are slack. The former concubine just arrived. The drastic rectification is good intentions, but unfortunately it is too offensive."
Wanyue and Wanxing are outsiders, so they can objectively evaluate the current situation of King Yan's Mansion. But for the elderly domestic slaves who had the wrong roots in the Yanwang Mansion, what Gao Xi did was to move their turf. So in the eyes of these people, Gao Xi was of course no good at all, waiting for Gao Xi to deal with the accumulated bad habits. When it was over, she herself was tired. After Gao Ran entered the door, the foundation had been laid, and when Gao Ran took over, he was naturally very good. And Gao Ran is used to superficial skills. She has benefited, and the rules are a little lax. With Gao Xi’s strictness in front of the contrast, Gao Ran immediately became a gentle and kind new mistress, and Wang’s residence also talked about her everywhere. it is good.
This led to the current situation. The two new maids from Wan Xing and Wanyue could say "the concubine of the previous life was good at heart", but Gu Chengyao, who was wrapped in the servants and old slaves, couldn't see it.
Lin Weixi didn't expect to hear such words from these two girls. She laughed mockingly, and it was really rare for someone to think of her kindness. Lin Weixi didn't want to talk about these bad things anymore. Now she saw that Gu Chengyao and Gao Ranlang's concubine's love was really crooked, but the graceful dowry maid was still preaching everywhere, with a proud face. God knows that these servants had not even dared to lift their heads in front of Lin Weixi, but now they also raised their tails.
Lin Weixi stood up and said lightly: "This is their family matter after all. It's not good to talk about personal matters behind the scenes, so I won't talk about it anymore."
Wan Yue and Wan Xing looked at each other, and they both noticed the contradiction in Lin Weixi's body. Miss Lin obviously relies on King Yan very much, but the family of King Yan is uncharacteristically indifferent. Aiwu should be equal to Wucai. Why does Lin have such a contradictory attitude? Wan Yue and Wan Xing didn’t know, and didn’t dare to mention it anymore. Instead, they carefully served Lin Weixi and changed his clothes: "Girl, today King Yan is angry with the son because of Princess Shoukang, and they said they will take the son with him in a few days. The eldest princess comes to apologize. Are you saying this is true?"
"Why isn't it true?" Lin Weixi sneered, ironically, "How dare you despise the princess mansion because it has no children, where are they courageous? Even if the princess mansion really has no successor, but as long as it grows long In one day, no one in the capital dared to neglect the princess. Even the King Yan wanted to call Princess Shoukang aunt. She, a concubine, jumped out eagerly, thinking that she could be wild on the grounds of the princess mansion, which is ridiculous."
"girl……"
Lin Weixi also noticed that his emotions were agitated. She took a deep breath and said, "Get your clothes ready these few days. I'm going to visit the princess mansion with King Yan."
Wan Yue was stunned for a moment. Lin Weixi was still in her filial piety period. He usually thanked guests behind closed doors. Why did he think of going to the princess mansion this time? But these weren't her things that a maid should worry about. Wan Yue responded with a low voice, and went to give Lin Weixi the clothes she had prepared for the visitor.
Gu Huiyan didn't say anything after learning about it, nodded and agreed. After he finally freed himself up, he personally took the people from the Yanwang Mansion to visit Princess Shoukang.
King Yan's visit was of course regarded as a distinguished guest and immediately welcomed into the mansion. When Princess Shoukang heard that King Yan was visiting, she greeted her with her body.
When Gu Huiyan saw Princess Shoukang, she quickly got up to support her arm: "Auntie, the dog is stubborn, and has failed your painstaking efforts. Now I bother you to come out in person. This is really my sin."
"Don't say that. You are now a prince, and the emperor is relying on you for assistance. How can my half-lengthed old lady dare to be your apocalypse."
Seeing this, Gu Huiyan couldn’t say any more. He lightly clicked on Gu Chengyao. Gu Chengyao understood what his father meant, so he could only reluctantly walk out and give a big gift to the princess Shoukang: "The junior was confused the other day. , I offended my grandmother, please forgive the younger generation."
Gu Chengyao is the son of King Yan. Even if Shou Kang hates him for neglecting his sister Xi, he can't ignore King Yan's face. King Yan brought his son to apologize personally. From the perspective of etiquette and morals, King Yan’s sincerity was already sufficient. Shou Kang could only nod his head and said coldly, "There is no overnight hatred in the family, since you understand That's it. Get up quickly."
Gu Chengyao got up, Gao Ran followed forward and saluted: "Grandma."
Shou Kang made a cold snort obviously and didn't even look at it. Gao Ran showed an aggrieved look, Gu Chengyao was distressed, but Gu Huiyan was still sitting on it, even if Gu Chengyao was angry, he did not dare to move.
It was also at this time that Shou Kang realized that there was one more person. She looked at the exquisite girl like a New Year's painting in the hall, slightly stunned: "This is..."
Lin Weixi stepped forward and sturdily knocked three heads to Princess Shoukang: "Little girl Lin Weixi, see Princess Long."
Shou Kang looked at the woman on the ground, his eyes widened unconsciously. Gu Huiyan saw this explanation: "When the Northwest rebellion was quelled, I was careless. It was her father who fought hard to cover me. You should have the impression that it was the Zhongyonghou from a while ago. After the Northwest rebellion subsided, I saw this young man. The girl lost her mother when she was young, and now she has no father. It’s not a good idea to live alone, so she took her to the capital. Today, I brought the junior to greet you, and she will follow."
After Shou Kang listened, the inexplicable throbbing in his heart became more obvious. She asked Lin Weixi to lift him up, and she moved closer and looked at it for a while, then warmly covered the back of Lin Weixi's hand with some rough hands, and asked, "Your name is Lin Weixi, what is your nickname?"
"The little girl had no mother since she was born, and she had no baby name. Everyone in the family called me sister Xi by her name."
"Sister Xi." Even the name was exactly the same. Shou Kang's eyes suddenly became wet. "Okay, I'll call sister Xi. When is your birthday?"
"On the fifteenth hour of the first lunar month."
Hearing Gao Ran's eyes widened at this hour, Gu Chengyao's expression was also a little strange. When Gu Huiyan saw the slight movement of the eyebrows, he calmly asked, "What's the matter?"
Gao Ran and Gu Chengyao didn't speak, but the old man from the princess mansion wiped away his tears and said, "King Yan, our eldest lady's birthday is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but it's only in Youshi."
Gao Xi has been close to his family since childhood, and the princess mansion directly called her eldest lady.
Gu Huiyan was also surprised when he heard this: "It's such a coincidence."
The same nickname, agreed syllables, even birthdays are the same. That strange feeling came again, and Gu Chengyao looked at Lin Weixi who was standing in front, suddenly feeling a sense of trance.
At that moment, Gu Chengyao almost felt that standing in front of him was his deceased Yuan wife, his former spouse, Gao Xi.
