Red makeup against the world

Chapter 960
Yao Zhiyue didn't say anything else before she died, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.As soon as the boulder weighing on her heart was gone, uncontrollable grief surged into Mrs. Yao's heart.

The bits and pieces of the mother and daughter's past, the scenes of her babbling, toddling and learning to walk, etc., came to Mrs. Yao's mind, making her cry so much that she almost fainted.

"Master Yao, you still have things to do, so let me leave." Wu Zhengxiang bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Yao Shang's expression was mournful, he cupped his hands and said: "My wife has lost his temper, so I will not send Master Wu away." After sending his servants to send Wu Zhengxiang out, the Yao family will start preparing for Yao Zhiyue's funeral.

At this time, the door of the workshop is closed.But with the identity of the commander of the Xiaoqiguard, it is natural to pass without hindrance.

Back at Zhiyuan Residence, Wu Zhengxiang quickened his pace as he watched the soft and beautiful silhouette reflected under the window.

"Wanzhen." He rushed into the door, hugged her tightly in his arms, and murmured, "Wanzhen, luckily it's not you. You don't know how scared I am."

Nestling in his warm embrace, listening to his strong heartbeat, Xu Wanzhen softly comforted his emotions: "Yizhi, I will always be with you."

Wu Zhengxiang let go of her slightly, doubts about her life experience surfaced in his heart, this was the root of his fear.He always felt that she was not from the same world as him, and was afraid that one day she would disappear without a sound.

However, when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.

Don't ask, you can still deceive yourself.How can I ask, what should I do if she just disappeared?
She is like a fairy who came down from the sky to save him. Will she complete her mission when she knows the truth?
Wu Zhengxiang felt that it was ridiculous for her to have such an idea, but she was so different that no one could ignore her.

In the end, he just sighed deeply and took her into his arms again.As long as she is by his side, what else is there to pursue?All worries are yours to bear.

Xu Wanzhen nestled in his arms, she had something to say in her heart, and she really couldn't vomit it.

"Yizhi, I have something to say, but I'm afraid it will affect your judgment." She hesitated, after all, it's a rule that women in the back house are not allowed to meddle in foreign affairs.

Wu Zhengxiang reached out to take off the jade hairpin on her head, put down her long hair that was as smooth and soft as silk satin, and said with a smile: "I don't know yet, we need to think twice about talking between us."

Xu Wanzhen smiled and said: "Then I'll say it, after listening to it, don't think I'm too busy."

Wu Zhengxiang agreed, and said, "Let's talk."

Xu Wanzhen left his embrace and sat down at the table to wake herself up.

After stroking her thoughts, she slowly said: "Yizhi, what happened today makes me feel very bad. This behavior of the Crown Princess makes me a little uneasy." It made her feel alienated from the Prince.

Wu Zhengxiang snorted coldly. It was obvious that the Crown Princess was using Xu Wanzhen as a bait to get rid of Concubine Yao.

She only focused on planning her own interests, and did not take other people's lives at heart.Such a temperament, coupled with her long-sleeved and good dancing, is full of honey and a sword.

As for the prince, it was obvious that he only wanted to settle the Wu family afterwards, but he was unwilling to give up the Yao family.

Compared to Emperor Qinglong, the relationship between Wu Zhengxiang and the crown prince was obviously not as close and trusting.

Wu Zhengxiang held Xu Wanzhen's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you again."

Xu Wanzhen held him instead, and said softly: "I'm not afraid of my husband. What I worry about is you, my husband."

Wu Zhengxiang and the crown prince did not have the same deep friendship as Emperor Qinglong.

He was already a second-rank military general at a young age, and there was very little room for rewards for him.Xiao Qiwei and other important places, after the crown prince ascends the throne, will you still rest assured that he will be in charge?
What Xu Wanzhen was worried about was that the emperor's mind was unpredictable.

Naturally, these words cannot be spoken out loud. Even in Zhiyuan Residence, one should maintain due vigilance.

Fortunately, the two of them had the same heart, and Wu Zhengxiang understood what Xu Wanzhen hadn't said.

Looking at her worried eyes, Wu Zhengxiang said, "Don't worry, I will seek a way out."

The crown prince ascended the throne as the emperor, and the government is bound to usher in a round of replacement of old and new forces.Under his planning, the Wu family has achieved the merits of being a dragon, and can be called the direct line of the prince.

But for such an important matter as Xiaoqiwei, the prince would be more willing to appoint his confidant and favorite general.

It's not that Wu Zhengxiang didn't think about these things, it's just that the situation was tight a few days ago and he didn't think about them carefully.Now, looking at the attitudes of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, he should really think about it.

"Wanzhen, it's good to have you here."

With her by his side, he thought carefully.Together, the two will not be afraid of any storms ahead.

……

Yao Zhiyue was executed, and her funeral was kept simple and low-key.

Then the prince devoted himself to the government, and with the help of his direct descendants, he managed the political affairs in an orderly manner.There were also a few mistakes, but they were all made up in time without serious consequences.

Seeing this, Emperor Qinglong rested in peace.

Empress Cao issued an order to carry Shi Jingfu into the Prince's Mansion as a side concubine.The Shi family married a daughter, and the lights and festoons were decorated with joy.Only Mrs. Zhuang knew how reluctant she was.

Xu Wanzhen went to see off her marriage. After the wedding, Shi Jingyu went to Yunling to start her new life.

Every February is the time when happy events are most concentrated.Because of the custom of not getting married in the first month, they piled up until February.

Zhiyuanju is very busy this month.

The sixth day of February was a good day. I married Sangzi and Caisi at the same time, and there were several banquets in the yard.Caisi's natal family also came from Tu's house and used this place as a place to marry.

Caisi married Han Yi who worked in the Zhechong Mansion. Because of his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion in the North, Han Yi was already a military general of the fourth rank at this time, and his status was incomparable.

Three years ago, Han Yi was still a white man.Because of his military exploits, his promotion speed was the envy of his colleagues.

Therefore, it is better for Caisi to get married in Duke Zhong's mansion than to go back to Tu's house.At least it will let Han Yi's colleagues understand that Xu Wanzhen stands behind Caisi to support her.

Because of her marriage, Caisi regained her real name Du Jiaxiu.

On the eve of her wedding, Sang Zi held Xu Wanzhen and cried for a full quarter of an hour.

To leave her side made Sangzi very sad.Since she was sensible, the two have been growing up together and have gone through many hardships.When she got married the next day, her eyes were as red as a rabbit.

She was young when she was sold to the Xu family, and she had no name on her body deed, let alone her parents.

Right now, she is going to marry to the Zhou family to be the wife of the young shopkeeper, and if she wants the family tree of Zhou's family, she must have an official name.Xu Wanzhen gave her her surname and named her Xu Xinle, wishing her a happy life.

Zhiyuan Juli opened several tables of banquets.The maids and women in the courtyard also added makeup to the two of them one after another. In addition to the dowry that Xu Wanzhen bought for them before, each of them added 500 taels of silver at the bottom of the box.
