Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 617 Substitutes

"Forget it, such a person who doesn't know etiquette will become his own daughter-in-law in the future, and we will only have to suffer!"

"Besides, she was sent back from Shangjing by the emperor. Who knows if she has been blessed by the emperor in the palace. Maybe she was sent back because she offended the emperor. Maybe it's a broken flower and a willow tree!"

"Shh, you should be more cautious in saying this. It would be disrespectful to the emperor if people listened to it."

Ye Song stood at the end of the path, watching the women walk away, and then looked back at Wang Zhanyue, with an unmoved expression on his face, and sat under the peach tree with his skirt pulled back.The peach blossoms fluttering on Ren's head fell on her clothes and hair, leaving Ye Song with a silhouette, which was incomparably beautiful.

Ye Song also walked into the peach blossom forest, and sat down beside Wang Zhanyue calmly.Wang Zhanyue turned her head to look at the movement, she was stunned and hurriedly got up and said: "I have seen the princess."

But she was held down by Ye Song and sat down again.Ye Song said: "I think you didn't want to come to this garden tea party."

Wang Zhanyue said truthfully: "Yes, if I hadn't promised my father to come, I'm afraid I'm still locked in the attic and grounded."

Ye Song said: "Since you are here, you should let go. You are sitting here alone, and someone comes to greet you. If you don't want to see them, Wang Yuanwai will still be angry when he turns around."

Wang Zhanyue smiled slightly, describing a little lonely, and said: "I don't want to make him angry, but I was born to conquer him. Just because I promised to come to this tea party, it doesn't mean I have to flatter them. I never thought of pleasing anyone, let alone looking for a husband's family here."

Ye Song looked at her carefully and found that she had lost a lot of weight.Ye Song looked at her eyes like two pools of deep water, deeply submerging and hiding the most essential and real things, preventing others from discovering them.But they were all women, Ye Song still found some clues.

Ye Song asked: "Did you see the emperor in the palace?"

Wang Zhanyue was silent for a long while before slowly saying: "Yes, we played a game of chess and had a meal together, and finally he sent me back to Chuxiu Palace."

"What do you think he is like?"

Wang Zhanyue bent her eyes and said: "He is a person who is almost the same as I imagined, and also a person who is very lonely as you said. It's just that there are so many beautiful women around him, and his position is unattainable , it’s not something a mortal woman like me can meet. He even mentioned the princess in front of me.”

Ye Song paused for a while before saying: "Listening to what you said, it seems that even if you stay in Chuxiu Palace, you will definitely have a chance. Why do you want to come back? The more a man is in a high position, the more he needs someone who can be with him. Standing side by side with him, there are always beauties around him like a cloud, no one can really walk into his heart, did you shrink back before you even started?"

But Wang Zhanyue said: "Why didn't the princess ask what the emperor said when he mentioned you?"

Ye Song asked back: "Is this very important?"

"Why is this not important? Someone has already entered into his heart, and no matter how hard others try, they will never be able to replace it?" Wang Zhanyue looked at Ye Song and sneered at herself, "It's ridiculous that I didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and I thought As long as I dare to take a step into the palace, I will have a chance. Now I finally understand why the princess tried to persuade me to participate in the draft. It is because I am very similar to you in character, right? So you think the emperor must Would you like it? Why didn’t you tell me back then that he already had someone in his heart, and that person was the concubine? No matter how similar I am to you, it’s just a substitute.”

Facing Wang Zhanyue's steady gaze, Ye Song's face was calm, but his words were like sharp knives, and he said, "Do you think I've tried my best to persuade you to participate in the draft for your own sake? What do you think, don't you?" Substitute, you and I are not relatives, I don't care at all. The only thing I care about is that I hope that the Ninth Five-Year Lord in the palace can be happier. I am living a good life now, so naturally I hope he can live a happy life. Well done. As for you, if you really use yourself as a substitute, then you really can only be a substitute. It seems that you are really in love with him, and you will be so angry after knowing the truth. "

"Anyone would be angry if they knew the truth after being deceived. Since what I think has nothing to do with the princess, then it has nothing to do with the princess if I fall in love with him." Wang Zhanyue brushed her clothes and got up, With cold eyes, "Zhanyue bids farewell, and I will not accompany you."

Wang Zhanyue left Biezhuang without delay.Perhaps the only reason she agreed to come to the tea party today was to see Ye Song say such words to her.

After Wang Zhanyue left, Ye Song also sat quietly under the peach tree for a while, feeling a little dispirited.

Later, I heard that Wang Yuanwai was actively looking for a marriage for Wang Zhanyue.

When the weather got warmer and the green hills in the suburbs were dripping with greenery, many young masters and young ladies went out for an outing in the suburbs. As in previous years, a kite competition was held on the hillside.All kinds of kites are flying in the spring breeze in the blue sky.One tent after another was erected on the hillside.

Su Jing somehow got a kite for Ye Song to fly, and that kite was the largest and most conspicuous among all the kites.He first flew the kite with his hands, then handed the ball of string to Ye Song, and said, "Daughter-in-law, please come on, let's see if our kite is the one that flies the highest."

Ye Song hooked the corners of his lips, and quickly started to fly the kite higher and higher.Su Jing suddenly said leisurely: "Daughter-in-law, did you offend that Miss Wang? She didn't look good when she walked past us just now."

Ye Song said meaninglessly: "She has a grudge against me in her heart."

"Is it because of the incident of entering the palace?"

"Otherwise, is there anything else?" Ye Song squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, "It's already like this, unless she figured it out by herself. I don't think I have anything to feel sorry for her, saying that I treat her as a The substitute is too far-fetched, after all, her strength is far superior to the substitute, otherwise, wouldn't it be almost the same as the Concubine Xi you mentioned." She sighed and continued, "What kind of clothes does the emperor like? Yes, we can't control her, and whether she goes or stays, she also can't control her."

Su Jing smiled and said: "My daughter-in-law makes sense. I think she is very depressed. I heard that when such an event was held in previous years, she always won the first place in kite flying, but this year she is not very interested in participating. Did not bring."

"You care a lot."

"No, no, isn't my husband paying attention to the follow-up development of the draft for my wife, to see if this Miss Wang has a chance to turn defeat into victory."

Ye Song couldn't help but look away, raised his eyes to look up the hillside, and found Wang Zhanyue's figure.At that time, Wang Yuanwai was also there, and it seemed that he was about to send a kite to Wang Zhanyue. He was talking to her, and looked this way from time to time.Mostly, she was asked to fly the kite and win the first prize in front of the prince and concubine.

At first Wang Zhanyue didn't move, Wang Yuanwai seemed to be angry while talking.She just snatched the kite and walked to an open space on the side.As soon as the spring breeze blows, she skillfully pulls the kite and lets it fly into the sky.

At first, everything went very smoothly, Wang Yuanwai showed a satisfied expression.But not long after, Wang Zhanyue was absent-minded and stared at the kite in a daze. Then, suddenly, the kite was swayed by the wind. She didn't stabilize it in time, and saw the tiny kite string connected It was broken, and Wang Zhanyue held a string handle in his hand, and could only watch the kite fly farther and farther with the broken string.

In the end, Wang Zhanyue naturally couldn't even rank in the kite competition. Wang Yuanwai stepped forward and said a few words, seeming very unhappy, she turned around and went back without paying attention.

Su Jing said: "It's just a fun outing in spring. Wang Yuanwai doesn't have to be so serious. If you really care about the outcome, you will lose the fun."

Wang Yuanwai replied: "My lord is right, it's just that the little girl is too difficult to teach, and it is too much trouble."

Ye Song said from the side: "Since this is the case, Wang Yuanwai should worry less. I think Ling Ai has a clear personality and aloof temperament. Even if Wang Yuanwai allows her to be free, she will not do anything excessive."

Wang Yuanwai said: "How can it not be? Last time when the flower thief incident happened, the city was full of storms. If I don't discipline her well, she might go to heaven."

Ye Song wanted to say more, but Su Jing put an arm on her shoulder at the right time, leaned against her, and said, "Ma'am, I think it's getting late, why don't we go back to the tent for lunch. "

Ye Song was silent, stopped in time, and said, "Okay."

Wang Yuanwai cupped his hands and said, "Even so, I won't bother the prince and princess, so I'll take my leave."

Su Jing put Ye Song in her arms and turned around and walked towards the tent. Su Jing said leisurely: "No matter how mercenary Wang Yuanwai is, it is his family business after all. It is hard for outsiders to tell unless he has some kind of lawsuit. Daughter-in-law, you It's okay to complain about Miss Wang Zhanyue, but we still have to bear with it."

In fact, Wang Zhanyue's biological mother had passed away many years ago. In Wang Yuanwai's mansion, her stepmother gave birth to a little brother. Wang Yuanwai put more care on her younger brother, and more on her. I hope she can fly up the branch and become a real phoenix, and it will not be in vain for him to raise Wang Zhanyue for so many years.

Later, I heard that Wang Yuanwai found a marriage for Wang Zhanyue. The other family was one of the richest households in Gusu City, and they were in the silk business.It's just that the man is over [-] years old and already has a wife, so marrying Wang Zhanyue used to be a concubine.

Just the dowry gifts from wealthy households filled the entire front yard of Yuanwai Mansion.Wang Yuanwai laughed from ear to ear.
