He stared at Wei Jingwei closely, seeing that the expression on her face was always very confused, and murmured with relief: "You really don't know."
A fragment suddenly flashed in Wei Jingwei's mind. In the previous dynasty, Mei Yuanqing had a low status. Even with the help she asked for from her parents' home, it was still very difficult to climb up.
She even had a falling out with Father Wei once during the process. She went back to her parents' home and endured the humiliation to persuade her father to do it for him. However, when passing by the study, she vaguely heard comments about taking sides and taking risks unwisely.
Is it because of this?
Her heart suddenly jumped violently.
Although Wei Jingwei has been raised in a boudoir, she comes from a noble family, so she doesn't know that when the dynasty changes, the heirs will definitely flock to her. There are opportunities, but more often than not there is no place to die.
Now the emperor is still middle-aged and in the prime of life.
If Mei Yuanqing had secretly chosen his side at this moment, or even vaguely approached someone, he would definitely make the emperor unhappy.
Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious and seriously ill.
This is courting death....
But as the commander of the Imperial Guards, Jiang Yinbai must be directly subordinate to the emperor himself.
Then he must know something. But if you want to get the news from him and deal with it in advance, you can only...
"I have always had a question, and I would like to ask Mr. Jiang to clarify it."
Jiang Yinbai: "Oh? If Mrs. Wei has anything to say, it doesn't matter."
Wei Jingwei looked at his calm expression and pursed her lips, "I would like to ask, why did Mr. Jiang help me again and again?"
"If I say, I am nosy." Jiang Yinbai did not rush, and Wei Jingwei did not catch any emotion on his face.
He is still so young and has already reached a high position, but his efforts in cultivating his energy are really amazing.
"The incident with the herbal medicine merchant, the incident with the carriage that day, and the incident with someone deliberately causing trouble in my shop today, if it's all because Mr. Jiang is nosy, then it's really a coincidence."
Jiang Yinbai burst into laughter suddenly, his eyes full of teasing.
He leaned lazily on the back of the seat, rubbing the jade ring with his fingers, looking as if he was about to collapse.
After a while, he said in a very soft voice: "You really haven't changed, you are as cautious as ever."
His voice was so soft that if Wei Jingwei hadn't been paying full attention, it would have been almost impossible to hear what he said.
"What do you mean? Don't Mr. Jiang take care of me because of my father's relationship?"
Jiang Yinbai picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip. Wei Jingwei noticed that his fingers were white and slender, but there were some calluses at the tiger's mouth.
At first glance, he looks like a practicing practitioner.
She closed her eyes and pretended not to notice, waiting quietly for Jiang Yinbai to speak.
He pondered: "You are so speculative..."
After saying that, he suddenly stood up, patted his wrinkled robe, and the jade pendant around his waist swayed, he was closer today. Wei Jingwei clearly saw a rose flower engraved on the jade pendant.
The branches and leaves of the flowers are distinct, and even the veins on the flowers and leaves are very clear.
Rose flower?
She clearly remembered that her name came from the large area of roses planted in her mother's yard, which were very beautiful every time they bloomed. From a distance, it looked like a sea of flowers.
The day she was born was the season when roses were blooming. So her mother named her Wei Jingwei. Jing means beautiful scenery and Wei means rose flower.
Just as she was about to ask, she saw that he had already walked out of the private room.
Missing the opportunity, Wei Jingwei could only swallow her doubts.
Is this jade pendant a coincidence or what does it mean...
Is there really such a coincidence in this world...
Wei Jingwei sat there staring at the table in trance.
The food arrived soon. Not to mention that Xiang Xie Restaurant is not cheap, but the food is very unique.
Although I don’t know how it tastes, the style makes people very appetizing. It is exquisite and the color is also very bright.
Lian'er urged: "Miss, please try how it tastes."
Wei Jingwei smiled, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. She was worried, but the taste still surprised her.
"It tastes good, try it quickly."
Only then did Lian'er and Su'er move their chopsticks.
Throughout the meal, she kept repeating Jiang Yinbai's words and actions in her mind, but she still didn't have much clue.
This meal didn't take much.
However, Lian'er's stomach became round after eating.
I took the carriage back to Mei Mansion. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Ying'er walking towards me with a smile, and gave her a blessing, "Madam, the old lady asked me to wait for you here. She said she was waiting for you to come back. Let’s go to Ci’an Hall and talk about it.”
Ying'er was in a good mood at first sight, and she was dressed freshly. She was wearing a light blue skirt, and the belt around her waist was tight, making her even more slender.
Wearing a silk bracelet on her wrist.
This dress and style don't look like a maid. Let people know what she is thinking at a glance.
Wei Jingwei smiled and didn't say much. She was afraid that Ying'er was an honest person and becoming more dishonest meant that she would still have a fight with Zhang Ruoruo.
All she had to do was sit back and watch.
I followed Ying'er all the way to Ci'an Hall. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Mei Yuanqing sitting there with a serious expression.
Sitting next to him was the frail and delicate Zhang Ruoruo. In the past, Zhang Ruoruo looked at Wei Jingwei like a black-eyed chicken, but now his target was switched to Ying'er.
Ying'er stood back to Mei's mother nonchalantly and said something jokingly, which made Mei's mother laugh.
"Mom, I don't know why you called me here today."
Mei's mother cleared her throat and said with a smile: "It's only a few days before the concubinage ceremony, so I wanted to see you to see if there is anything inappropriate in Xiaoqin's banquet list."
After she finished speaking, Ying'er took a list and handed it over.
Wei Jingwei took it, then glanced at it roughly, paused for a moment on a few names, then raised her eyes and said, "I don't see any problem. Xiaoqin's arrangement is good."
Mei's mother smiled and nodded, "That's good, that's good. I saw her making arrangements for the first time, and she was always afraid that something would go wrong."
The two chatted for a while. When Wei Jingwei saw that it was already getting late, she said she wanted to go back to the yard to rest, and Mei's mother had no problem doing so.
But Mei Yuanqing suddenly stood up and said that it was getting late and he wanted to send Wei Jingwei back in person.
Zhang Ruoruo's expression suddenly became tense. He pulled Mei Yuanqing's sleeve and shook it, showing a very pitiful expression, "Brother Yuan Qing, I seem to have suffered from some cold in the past few days."
The implication is that I want him to accompany me.
Wei Jingwei looked at their concubine's affectionate expressions and walked past them, heading straight back to the courtyard.
Her steps were not slow, and soon she left only her back.
Mei Yuanqing was a little anxious, so she opened Ruoruo's hand and hurriedly left a message to see her someday.
