Chapter 146: The Young Lady Who Married to Another Family VS the Disabled Prince
Ye Zhenzhen's eyebrows suddenly curved, and she looked up at him and said with a smile: "You should call me Madam. My husband is Lu Zhiyan from Duke Lu's Mansion."
She glanced not far away and saw the dark figure sitting upright in a wheelchair. Although there was a certain distance between them, she seemed to be able to sense his displeasure.
These people are really talking about things that are not related to the topic.
Qi Sili rubbed his aching eyebrows.
All they do every day is play with birds and drink tea. They can't even read people's expressions! I'd better spend less time with them in the future.
He fixed his gaze on the two people who had just spoken, and asked unhappily, "Have you asked everything you wanted to ask? Do you need me to find something for you to do?"
A few people finally realized that something was wrong with Qi Sili, and quickly found an excuse to slip away.
The young master's identity is too noble, and they cannot afford to offend him. Not only does he have a mother who is a princess, but his aunt is also the current queen. Just because of these two relationships, even the princes have to give him some face, let alone them.
Besides, the young master suddenly fell into a coma some time ago, and just made a contribution after waking up. He is currently in favor with the emperor, and no one would want to cause trouble for him at this time.
Furthermore, she had just mentioned her husband, Lu Zhiyan. Lu Zhiyan was a renowned figure from an aristocratic family, having achieved fame at a young age. He was said to be a skilled warrior, capable of shooting an arrow through a hundred steps, and a brilliant writer. Unfortunately, he was injured on the battlefield, and his temper became erratic, rarely appearing in public.
After they left, Qi Sili's expression finally calmed down, and he said in a gentle tone, "Princess, please forgive me for my indignation. They are used to being so casual on a daily basis, and they all said what they meant. Please don't take their words to heart."
Ye Zhenzhen was a little annoyed. She felt that the young master was like a fly, buzzing around her ear.
If it weren't for his barely acceptable face and his identity, Ye Zhenzhen really didn't want to say a word.
She smiled perfunctorily: "It's okay, young master, my husband is here. If you have other things to do, please go and do them first."
Just as he finished speaking, Ziyang had already arrived, pushing Lu Zhiyan. He had left home late today, and his mobility issues had hindered his arrival.
Ye Zhenzhen stood up and saluted, her voice gentle: "Greetings, Master."
Lu Zhiyan nodded, his gaze shifted to the young master next to him, lingering for a few seconds before retracting it.
Early this morning, the young master got up specifically to study his outfit for today.
He took a special bath, found the hairpin that his aunt, the Queen, had given him, and the jade bell around his waist. He also changed his clothes several times before he was satisfied.
Her face is as pretty as jade, and her eyes are as bright as stars.
Lu Zhiyan could tell at a glance that he must have dressed up carefully. It would be fine to dress a little more appropriately for a party like this, but he kept circling around Ye Zhenzhen, which made him think too much.
Qi Sili was stunned for a moment, and instantly felt uncomfortable all over.
He had just tried to seduce someone's wife, and now that the real person had arrived, he felt somewhat guilty and took a step back.
Qi Sili said politely, "Greetings, Your Highness. I've heard of your great name a long time ago. It's as famous as thunder in my ears. I admire you very much."
Lu Zhiyan raised his eyes to look at him, then pushed the wheel to Ye Zhenzhen's side.
His deep, cold eyes swept over her before he looked away with a lack of interest. He then poured Ye Zhenzhen a cup of tea, handed it to her, and said calmly, "Moisten your throat. You talked a lot just now."
Ye Zhenzhen smiled and reached out to take the tea.
She looked at Lu Zhiyan with her beautiful eyes and found that his eyes were looking at her, with emotions in them that she could not understand. He no longer looked as indifferent as he did in the mansion.
She and Lu Zhiyan seemed to have formed some strange tacit understanding. In front of outsiders, the two of them naturally played the role of a loving couple. In the inner courtyard, it was not as harmonious as this. Forget it, take it slowly, she will always find the trick to win this man. She secretly encouraged herself, "Little fox, keep going!"
……
At the women's table, Ye Wanwan watched this scene with jealousy. She was not originally invited, but had begged Aunt Zhou to bring her along.
Aunt Zhou was seated far back. She looked across at Ye Zhenzhen, who looked so smug. The more she looked, the angrier she became. "Back then, you insisted on marrying Song Qingjin, and now look at her. Look at Ye Zhenzhen! She's surrounded by distinguished women. And you, on the other hand, don't even have the qualifications to be here. All her wealth and splendor should have been yours."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanwan also stole a glance at Ye Zhenzhen's position.
As expected, the people sitting around her were all from families of extremely high status.
Ye Wanwan clenched her fists. This immense wealth was destined to be hers! It didn't matter. Lu Zhiyan was about to die. After the autumn examination, she would become the wife of the top scholar. In a few years, she would be the wife of the Prime Minister.
Ye Wanwan retracted her gaze, covered her face with her round fan, and whispered to comfort Aunt Zhou, "Don't worry, mother. Lu Zhiyan will die soon, and Song Lang will soon pass the imperial examination. By then, Ye Zhenzhen won't even be worthy of carrying my shoes!"
Aunt Zhou was half-believing and half-doubting: "How did you know this? Why haven't I heard of it? Besides, this prince looks in good spirits and doesn't look like he's nearing his end at all."
"Mother..." Ye Wanwan continued to comfort him, recalling her past life. "Just wait and see. Lu Zhiyan will die soon. He was poisoned before, and now he just looks energetic. He can only make Ye Zhenzhen proud for another month at most. After the prince dies, she will be a woman who brings bad luck to her husband, and her in-laws will definitely not like her."
After hearing this, Aunt Zhou's expression improved slightly.
……
On the other side of the women's table, the maid Cui'er was pouring tea for Su Wan'er. Cui'er looked at Ye Zhenzhen who was dressed brightly, and then at Su Wan'er who was dressed in plain white.
Sighed.
Cui'er couldn't help but mutter, "Master, Ye Zhenzhen must have dressed like this on purpose. She knows you like to wear plain clothes, so she wore such a dazzling red dress to contrast with you. It seems like she's deliberately targeting you. I really don't know what she has to be proud of. Although she married the prince, we all know what the prince is like."
Su Wan'er glanced over there indifferently: "Vulgar. Besides, I'm going to join my father and brother in the flag-grabbing competition. With her appearance, Prince Lu, she doesn't even have the qualifications to participate."
She likes to wear simple and elegant clothes, thinking that it makes her look noble.
Ye Zhenzhen used to have some taste, but now she's become incredibly vulgar, wearing red and green. While beautiful, she's truly unattractive. But someone as vulgar as her doesn't have much aesthetic sense.
It's pitiful and sad that a woman like this will be confined to the inner house for her whole life.
Thinking of this, she was too lazy to argue with Ye Zhenzhen today. She felt from the bottom of her heart that Ye Zhenzhen was not on the same level as her.
