Chapter 203 Wei Yang Enters the Palace
"By the way, your noble mother came to the palace today. But from what I see, she doesn't seem to be a very kind person."
Liuying spoke in detail, and Ruyi listened with great interest.
Wei Yang was wearing a sober ash-red silk robe, but her hair was ostentatiously decorated with gold and jade hairpins.
They are messy and disorganized, as if a few limbs would swing down if you slightly twist your waist while walking.
The palace maids would occasionally laugh at her, but Wei Yang was full of confidence, thinking she had the temperament of a noble lady, which attracted the palace maids' attention.
Wei Yanwan was only a noble lady, so she was not rewarded with a sedan chair when she entered the palace. But even if she just walked, she was still very proud.
When they arrived at Chengqian Palace, no matter how reluctant Wei Yanwan was, she waited in the hall with tears in her eyes.
When Wei Yang entered the hall, her face instantly fell when she saw Wei Yanwan.
She passed by Wei Yanwan's outstretched hand and said sarcastically, "Oh, your majesty has really become rich, and noble people tend to forget things.
It's amazing that you still remember a poor and destitute mother like me."
Wei Yanwan withdrew her hand awkwardly, and said a little aggrievedly, "Mother, you are joking. I was originally a slave in the palace, and my life was very difficult.
Now that his daughter had finally gotten out, had been given the title of a noble lady, and was pregnant with the royal heir, he quickly invited her mother into the palace.
A few days ago, my daughter asked someone to bring back a lot of things. Now, seeing that my mother has a head full of pearls and is wearing luxurious clothes, my daughter can be considered to have fulfilled her filial duty."
Wei Yang snorted, "What's the point of that? Your brother Zuolu spent it all in just two trips out."
"That's enough money for an ordinary family to have enough food and drink for three to five years. How could Zorlu..."
As Wei Yanwan was talking, she realized something was wrong. "Mother, did Zuolu go gambling again?"
Seeing Wei Yang's eyes rolling around, Wei Yanwan knew that her guess was correct, "Mother, didn't you promise your daughter that you would not let Zuo Lu go to the gambling house again?
If I had known this earlier, my daughter would never have helped the family again!"
Wei Yang knew she was in the wrong, but she still stiffened her neck and said, "It's all your fault.
If you work hard, you will not only be a small noble, but a concubine, or even a queen. Will your brother be unable to marry a rich and powerful official wife and can only rely on gambling to pass the time?"
"Mother, it's obvious that Zuolu himself is not up to the standard, he indulges in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
Not to mention the daughter of an official family, even an ordinary girl from a decent family would not be willing to entrust her life to a man.
Besides, this is the palace. You keep talking about the Imperial Concubine and the Queen. How can you know that you can say this casually? "
Wei Yanwan hurriedly shouted, "Walls have ears. If the Queen hears that I covet the position of Queen, I will die!"
Wei Yanwan was right, Ruyi knew the secret in her mind.
It’s just that Wei Yang was not very careful with her words, so even if Wei Yanwan had many concerns in her heart, she couldn’t tell Wei Yang about them.
Wei Yangshi didn't care, she just thought Wei Yanwan was being too cautious and was trying to scare her, "You are carrying a precious dragon seed in your belly, even if you are the queen, how dare you touch you.
Don't think that I, your mother, don't understand these things just because I'm a common woman. I can tell you that before I entered the palace, I consulted the most famous immortal master in Dongshan Mountain for divination.
The immortal master said that the queen’s fate was unclear and her future was uncertain.
But you have a very noble destiny. The next emperor may be born in your belly.
Mother thought, you just happen to have one in your belly, maybe this dear grandson will be the emperor in the future..."
The more Wei Yang spoke, the more outrageous it became. Wei Yanwan felt anxious and scared, and her tone couldn't help but become a little higher.
"Mother, if you continue to talk nonsense, I will never dare to invite you to the palace again. And I don't think you need to give the money to the family anymore."
When Wei Yanwan heard that she didn't want to give money to the family again, Wei Yang's eyes turned red with anxiety, "Little hoof, ungrateful wolf, you crawled out of my belly. How dare you disobey me?"
After a scolding, seeing that Wei Yanwan still had a cold face and refused to give in, Wei Yang simply sat down on the ground and started to throw a tantrum.
"Why did I give birth to such an unfilial daughter like you? I don't want to live any longer. I might as well just run into a wall and die in this Chengqian Palace..."
She was scolded like this as soon as they met suddenly. Now she was crying, making a fuss and threatening to hang herself. Wei Yanwan lost the last bit of patience in her heart.
Her voice became much colder, "Maybe mother forgot.
When my daughter was a slave in the palace and was framed, my family ignored my requests and did not give her even a penny to help her, causing her to almost die in the palace.
Now, my daughter has become a benefactor. If she is in a good mood and is willing to continue to help the family, others will praise her for being filial.
If I am in a bad mood and cut off contact with my family, my daughter will have something to say.
The current emperor is wise and the empress is virtuous, so I don't think they will blame their daughter.
Mother, please think carefully. Do you really want your daughter to be so utterly estranged from your family?"
Wei Yang stopped throwing a tantrum and quickly stood up as if nothing had happened, her face full of shrewdness and flattery.
"Oh, Yan Wan, we are a family. What's the point of severing ties with each other? Bah, bah, bah, how unlucky."
Xing'er came to report that the Queen had heard that Madam Wei had entered the palace and had specially sent a reward.
Wei Yang's attention was immediately drawn to the exquisite fabrics and gorgeous jewelry.
"Oh, this fabric is so smooth. This jewelry is also beautiful, heavy and shiny, it is pleasing to the eye.
Yanwan, you have a fair complexion, which doesn't match these styles, so mother took them all away."
Wei Yanwan was annoyed when she saw Wei Yangshi's shallow look. She rubbed her forehead and said, "This is a gift from the Queen Mother. You can take it if you want."
Wei Yang got a bunch of good things, her eyes wrinkled with smile, and she left Chengqian Palace very satisfied.
When leaving the palace, Wei Yang kept admiring the thick gilded bracelet on her hand.
Unexpectedly, when crossing the palace gate, Wei Yang did not step firmly and was about to fall on the threshold.
There happened to be a young palace maid passing by, and Wei Yang fell heavily on her.
Wei Yang stood up cursing, brushed off the non-existent dust on her clothes, rolled her eyes, and asked, "Which palace are you from? You dare to offend this lady, it seems you are tired of living."
The maid who was hit picked up the scattered objects on the ground and replied respectfully, "I am Shunxin, who is beside Wanpin of Yonghe Palace.
I didn't bump into the old lady, it was you who didn't stand firmly and bumped into me."
Shunxin was about to leave after she finished speaking, but unexpectedly Wei Yang grabbed her sleeve and pulled her back.
