Chapter 391 Don't care about those things.
"Sick? What's the disease?" Wei Ruo asked.
"It's not clear yet, and the imperial doctor in the palace didn't know the reason. They only diagnosed that he won't live long." Mrs. Yuan replied.
With an undetermined identity, the Ninth Prince suddenly appeared. This ninth prince was originally a very threatening competitor, but he was actually a sick man with a short life expectancy.
It seems that the capital is destined to be unstable these days.
Wei Ruo thought for a while and then said: "This matter is indeed unexpected and surprising, but as far as I am concerned, it is just a fun thing. Not only me, but also Uncle Zhongyi's house has nothing to do with the battle for imperial power."
"Sister Ruo'er is always sober, and what she said makes perfect sense. If I tell you to listen, I will let you enjoy the fun. You and the General's Mansion must not get involved in it, lest it cause unprovoked trouble." Mrs. Yuan reminded
. Dao said, she was also concerned about Wei Ruo, so she said so many words. If it were anyone else, she would not waste such words.
"Madam, don't worry. Whenever I have a choice, I will choose to stay away from this matter. I am not interested in the struggle for imperial power. Rather than thinking about those things, I would rather focus on how to grow more and better crops." , study how to feed more people." Wei Ruo replied.
"Well, that's right." Mrs. Yuan's eyes were filled with approval.
###
Wei Ruo came back from Yuan Mansion and brought back a large number of rewards.
Wei Mingyong had been waiting for Wei Ruo at the door. When he saw her coming back, he came forward to check.
He was about to reach out to peel off the red cloth, but was stopped by Xiumei, who had quick eyes and quick hands.
"Second Master, what are you going to do?"
"What do I want to do that has nothing to do with you, a little girl?" Wei Mingyong said angrily.
It is really unreasonable that a little maid dares to interfere in his affairs?
Seeing a dozen boxes of things being carried into the backyard, Wei Mingyong was a little depressed. He hadn't seen anything yet! His intuition told him that there were some good things there!
At this time, Wei Mingyong saw Wei Ruo getting off the carriage, stepped forward to block her way again, and continued what he had not had time to finish talking to Wei Ruo before Wei Ruo left.
"Eldest niece, you may not like to hear some of the words of the second uncle, but they are spoken from the bottom of my heart. They are beneficial to you, me and the Wei family. Who has a better chance of sitting on the throne of the crown prince, the sixth prince or the seventh prince? We all know, don't be confused!"
"Second uncle, I'd better save these words to talk to my father and brother." Wei Ruo still had the same attitude.
"As the eldest daughter of the Wei family, you should listen carefully to what you should understand! It concerns the future of the Wei family, and you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb." Wei Mingyong said sternly.
"I didn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, but I once again advised my second uncle to go and understand the matter carefully before making a judgment. Don't follow others' opinions. If others say that you blindly side with whoever has hope, then the entire Wei family will be affected. ."
If Wei Mingyong wasn't related to her by blood, what he did would implicate her, and Wei Ruolian didn't want to say more to him.
"What do you mean? You think what I said is wrong? What do you, a boudoir girl, know?" Wei Mingyong said angrily.
"There's nothing wrong with what the eldest sister said."
Wei Yichen came to the door at some point and appeared next to Wei Ruo.
His tall figure stood behind Wei Ruo, seeming to be supporting Wei Ruo, and the words he spoke did indeed mean this.
"Yichen, don't talk nonsense to protect your sister." Wei Mingyong said.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Many things cannot be taken at face value. Since the overall situation is still uncertain, we cannot make any hasty conclusions. For the weak Wei family, taking sides at this time is definitely not a good idea." Wei Yichen said.
"To put it bluntly, it's just that you are timid and afraid of getting into trouble." Wei Mingyong muttered dissatisfied.
"Then the second uncle will just think that we are timid." Wei Yichen said, not minding being called timid by Wei Mingyong.
Wei Ruo raised her head and looked at Wei Yichen beside her. It was really not her imagination. Wei Yichen was really different. Seeing Wei Yichen's attitude, Wei Mingyong had to put away the idea of persuading him and Wei Ruo.
"That's all, I won't argue with you about this for now."
Then he said: "Can you show me what good things Concubine Hui has given to her eldest niece?"
Wei Ruo wanted to refuse, but Wei Mingyong refused. Giving her a chance to refuse, he said directly: "I just want to look at it and I won't take anything from my eldest niece. I'm an elder and can't do such a thing. My eldest niece shouldn't be stingy enough to even let me look at it. Is that right?"
Wei Ruo thought for a moment, glanced at Wei Yichen again and said, "Okay, my eldest brother happens to be here, so let's take a look together."
Wei Yichen nodded.
So the three of them went to Wei Ruo's Tingsong Garden together.
The twelve boxes that were carried just now have all been sent to Wei Ruo's Tingsong Garden. As soon as they entered the far gate, they saw boxes full of boxes.
Wei Ruo removed the red cloth covering it one by one.
Before this, Wei Ruo had only seen the list of rewards, but had never seen the actual items.
Twelve loads of rewards, two loads of jewelry, four loads of silks, brocades and cloths, two loads of dry goods and treasures, and four loads of porcelain, calligraphy and paintings.
Wei Mingyong's eyes shone when he saw it, and he couldn't help but marvel: "This Concubine Hui is so generous and has given you so many good things!"
Wei Yichen said calmly: "This is not a gift from Concubine Hui, it must be the instruction of the Holy One." "
What? What do you mean? Not Concubine Hui? Is it a reward from the Holy Emperor to our Wei family?" Wei Mingyong looked surprised.
"Without the emperor's permission, it would be impossible for Concubine Hui to privately give such a generous reward to the daughter of a minister. She would be suspected of forming a clique for personal gain." Wei Yichen said.
Wei Ruo looked at Wei Yichen with a little more approval.
He may not be able to see clearly what is going on in the inner house, but he still has a clear eye when it comes to matters in the court.
"Is this so?!" Wei Mingyong raised his brows with joy, "The Holy Emperor has rewarded the Wei family! That's great!"
Wei Mingyong was still a little worried at first, but now that Wei Yichen said this, he was completely free of worries. The only thing left is the joy of receiving a reward.
"It's not the Wei family. This is a reward for the eldest sister." Wei Yichen corrected.
"It's all the same. The eldest niece is not married yet and is from my Wei family." Wei Mingyong said cheerfully.
Wei Yichen did not answer these words and instead said: "We have seen everything, we can go. My eldest sister must be tired from running around today, let's let her have a good rest." Wei Mingyong glanced at Wei Ruo, "Eldest niece,
you After receiving the reward, shouldn't you bring some gifts to your grandparents who are far away in the capital?"
Wei Mingyong only said that he would not take things from his niece, but he did not say that he would not ask for things for others.
As a granddaughter, it is only natural to honor your grandparents, and no one can say there is anything wrong with what he said.
Wei Yichen's face darkened, but there was nothing wrong with what Wei Mingyong said, so he did not refute.
Wei Yichen and Wei Mingyong looked at Wei Ruo, wondering how Wei Ruo would respond.
