Chapter 35 The Crown Princess

Crown Princess Cheng Yanai is the eldest daughter of the Han family, and also the eldest granddaughter of the Meng family, the old lady of Huairenbo. The old lady loves this granddaughter who has carried the hopes of four generations of the Cheng family and is destined to marry into the royal family at birth. Hearing this, he immediately forgot Mrs. Han, got off the kang and said repeatedly: "Come in, please!"

As she spoke, she walked out, and all the female relatives in the room followed behind to welcome the princess, only Han Shi who was kneeling on the ground was still staring at her hands in a daze.

At this time, a twenty-nine-year-old woman walked in with the help of a maidservant.

She was wearing a red woven jacket with golden phoenix and persimmon stalks and a silver fox fur cloak. In terms of appearance alone, she could be said to be the least conspicuous among the Cheng family sisters. amiable.

The old lady Meng took the lead and bowed down: "Meet the Crown Princess."

Cheng Ya quickly went to help the old lady: "Grandmother, get up quickly, and auntie, get up quickly too."

When everyone got up, Cheng Ya saluted the old lady again, and was hurriedly led by the old lady to walk to the big kang.

Only then did she see Mrs. Han who was kneeling on the ground, and her footsteps stopped: "Mother, this is—" She said and looked at the old lady.

Facing this granddaughter, the old lady didn't want to say much about the Han family, she just said: "Today there are rumors suddenly in the capital, and it has something to do with Wei'er, and the family is anxious about it this morning."

Cheng Ya knew that the old lady never wanted to see Mrs. Han, so she walked over and helped Mrs. Han up without showing any expression on her face: "Mom, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, don't worry, you and grandma, I also heard about this and felt relieved, come and see three Sister."

While talking, she suddenly stopped, staring at Han's feet without shoes in astonishment, and said hesitantly, "Mother, this is—"

Han's heart is straightforward, and such people often turn out to be clumsy when they reach the critical point. Hearing Cheng Ya's question, he suddenly didn't know what to say, and his eyes unconsciously aimed at the thrown shoes.

Seeing this, Cheng Ya winked, and the maidservants who followed her left and right immediately went over to pick up the shoes.

Cheng Ya took it, and slowly knelt down to put it on for Han Shi herself, and said lightly, "Look at my mother, I'm really worried about how Sanmei is doing now, so please take me there to see."

Her words resolved the invisible embarrassment in the room, supported Mrs. Han with one hand, and the old lady with the other, and the group went to Feixu Residence in a mighty manner.

Cheng Wei slept late last night and just got up not long ago, barely had breakfast after washing up, and was leaning against the head of the bed lost in thought.

Qiaorong has always had lively eyebrows and eyes, she wanted to be favored again, so she leaned over and said: "Girl, how about the servant girl reading to you?"

Cheng Wei thought for a while, then nodded.

"What does the girl want to hear, how about "Biography of Famous Women?" Qiaorong asked tentatively, remembering the bookcase full of books she saw in the second girl's study.

Cheng Wei pulled the Jin quilt up, and said lazily: "Read "The Biographies of Famous Women", and bring the "Interesting Tales of Strange Tales" that my second brother gave me a few years ago. Oh, do you know where it is placed?" where?"

Qiaorong nodded quickly: "I know."

I don’t know who Xindao Feixuju is, but any gift from the second son, no matter how high or low, the girl will keep it like a treasure, not to mention the "Strange Interests" given a few years ago, even the girl gave it when she was three years old. The rattle is still sitting on the bottom of the box.

Not long after, Qiaorong brought a book the size of a palm, sat on the bed beside the bed, and read it word by word: "South of Daliang, there is a small country named Nanlan, where women are as noble as men, so The strange thing is that the Gu technique can only be used by women..."

Cheng Wei closed his eyes, listening to the story that he could almost recite backwards, suddenly felt a little wronged in his heart.

The second elder brother used to love telling stories to himself, and collected a lot of interesting books for her to read, but since the year before last, this has changed, and he said that she is a big girl, and these books should be read less.But how did the second brother know that she is now haunted by monsters, if she didn't know about it before, she would have died of fright.

What was even more frightening was that once it was confirmed that her eldest sister was really pregnant, she had no choice but to listen to that voice.

Cheng Wei is not Linglong's sweetheart, and she can't do things like dancing well and making people smile, but she just has a vague feeling that if she lets the voice in her head manipulate her, terrible things will happen in the future.It doesn't matter if she heard too many stories about ghosts and gods before, or she doesn't know how to seize opportunities, she just stubbornly believes that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world!
Biological parents can't treat their children equally, let alone it's something that I don't know if it's a demon or a ghost.

But second brother, why haven't you come back?

At this moment, Cheng Wei missed his second brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Girl, the Crown Princess and the old lady are all here." The little maid ran in listening to the song.

"Crown princess?" Cheng Wei no longer cared about listening to Qiao Rong's reading, turned over and was about to get off the ground.

Huanyan hurriedly stopped her: "Girl, you should lie down. You went out last night and didn't sleep well. It's still hot this morning."

Cheng Wei thought, if the elder sister is really pregnant, she can't let the elder sister get angry with her illness, so she lay down again and pulled the quilt tightly.

After a while, many footsteps were heard, followed by the voices of maids saluting.

As soon as Cheng Ya entered the door, she saw her younger sister lying on the bed, her hair was covered with black hair, making her face extremely small.

Thinking of Cheng Wei's previous appearance, Cheng Ya couldn't help being startled, let go of the hands of the old lady and Han, and walked over quickly with the help of the palace maid, only called "Third Sister", and the circles of her eyes immediately turned red.

"Quickly help the princess to sit on the chair." The old lady pointed to a carved rose chair with a backrest a little far away from the bed.

Cheng Ya turned her head: "Grandmother, please sit down quickly, I want to talk to Third Sister."

As she spoke, she sighed softly from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't tell whether it was affection or resentment to the old lady.Grandmother was very kind to her, but she was too mean to Third Sister. She was asked to sit on the rose chair just because she was afraid that Third Sister would get sick.Don't say that the third sister suffered trauma, even if there is something, she is the eldest sister, how can she treat her first sister like this.

"Third Sister, are you feeling better? Does your head hurt?"

Hearing Cheng Ya's concerned question, the corners of Cheng Wei's eyes suddenly became wet, but fortunately, the black cloth towel didn't show it, which saved the girl's little self-esteem.

She hid back and said, "Big sister, don't get too close to me, I have a fever this morning."

"Why do you have a fever?" Cheng Ya hurriedly touched Cheng Wei's forehead with her hands, "It's okay to touch, have you drank ginger soup, and it will be fine if you sweat again."

"Drink it." In front of Cheng Ya, Cheng Wei looked extraordinarily well-behaved, "Big sister, why are you here?"

Cheng Ya was choked by the question, facing the young girl, she couldn't say that she hurried over because she heard that she was insane.

She smiled and said: "Ever since my younger sister was injured at my grandfather's house, I have been worried. I always have to see with my own eyes what is going on with the third younger sister so that I can rest assured."

The corners of Cheng Wei's mouth curled up, showing a long-lost smile: "Big sister, don't worry, I don't care, it's just that I was tired after lying down for a long time, and it will be fine in a few days."

Cheng Ya observed Cheng Wei carefully, and saw that her words and deeds were normal, even a little more calm than usual, so she was relieved, and couldn't help hating those who spread rumors, and secretly thought that when the third sister was able to go out, she must do something. A bustling banquet, let those who love to gossip look, her third sister is doing really well!

"Big sister, when are you going back to the palace?"

Cheng Ya took Cheng Wei's hand: "Sister can come back to the palace whenever Sanmei wants her to."

"Big sister." Cheng Wei couldn't help but squeezed Cheng Ya's hand, "Then why don't you try my red date milk cake?"

Cheng Ya's expression suddenly became a little subtle.

Cheng Wei continued to smile and said: "I have a little girl named Huamei who used to stay in the big kitchen and can make a few small snacks. I told her to make some for today and this morning she made jujube milk Cake, I ate it well, I want my eldest sister to try it too."

She originally wanted to enter the palace in three days, and use the jujube milk cake to test whether her eldest sister was pregnant, so she told Huamei to try it early, but she didn't expect that her eldest sister came here not long after the pastry was made this morning.

Hearing what the young girl said, Cheng Ya couldn't bear to refuse, and said softly, "Okay."

"Crown Princess—" a servant girl behind her couldn't help shouting.

Cheng Ya shook her head slightly at her.

Not long after, a little girl who was about the same age as Cheng Wei came in with a plate of jujube milk cake. The little girl was pretty and lovely, especially her pair of black and long eyebrows, which was rare to see, even Cheng Ya couldn't help but look at it more He glanced at those long eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Sanmei is a little girl, I've never seen her before."

"Big sister hasn't been out of the palace for a long time." Cheng Wei's tone was a little lonely, and after finishing speaking, he changed the subject, "Big sister, try it, it tastes pretty good."

Huamei held the plate in front of Cheng Ya, and a palace maid stepped forward, took out a silver needle to test the poison, saw that the needle did not change color, then broke off a small piece with a handkerchief and ate it, about a quarter of an hour later, the tasted The piece of jujube milk cake I gave to Cheng Ya: "Crown Princess, you can eat it."

Cheng Ya said apologetically: "Sanmei, there are many rules in the palace, don't take offense."

After speaking, he took a bite of the red date milk cake, and the rich milky aroma instantly filled his mouth, causing his stomach to churn, and he couldn't help but tilt his head and retch.

"Crown Princess—" the people in the room couldn't help but change color.

Afterwards, the old lady became excited: "Ya'er, you, are you happy?"

Cheng Ya nodded slightly.

Han Shi was also very excited: "Really? Thank God! Ya'er, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Cheng Ya was shy and joyful, and said softly: "It's only been a month, and it will take three months before we can publicize it."

"Congratulations to the crown princess!" There was a congratulatory sound in the room.

When the atmosphere suddenly became hot and joyful, only Cheng Wei smiled stiffly at the corner of his mouth, and his heart suddenly fell to the bottom.

That voice... what that voice said was actually true!
PS: Before catching the train, I even worked out today's struggle, look at how diligent I am.
