Chapter 500: First Encounter
Who gave Xia Qianwei the courage to order her?
It has already spread in the palace that the queen has fallen in love with Wei Manyao, the fifth lady of the Dingxing Hou Mansion, where did Xia Qianwei have the courage to dare to argue with the future prince and concubine?
You must know that there are three brothers above her who no one dares to mess with, no matter where she has been since she was a child, other nobles have to take a detour, Wei Manyao has a pride that cannot be trampled on, let alone a woman like Xia Qianwei who was once spurned and notorious!
"Do you really not pick it up? Could it be that the fifth lady is ruddy and radiant, and she is full of qi and does not look like she has just recovered from a serious illness, I don't know what kind of miracle doctor can cure Miss Typhoid fever for many days so thoroughly, Qianwei really wants to ask for advice. Xia Qianwei's tone was a little cold, but it sounded like a joke to Wei Manyao.
Sharp-toothed girl, is this threatening her?
It's just that he is liked by the Queen Mother, but sooner or later he will not show his fox tail, and he really thinks of himself as a fragrant bun?
Now Xia Yihai is just a nominal general of the town army, and the Xia family has no strength at all, where is the opponent of the Dingxing Hou Mansion? This feast of the Four Kingdoms, if it weren't for her father's refusal to let her show up, Xia Qianwei's turn would not have been in the limelight at all!
Thinking of this, Wei Manyao had already slowly raised her feet, and the pair of purple embroidered shoes were about to step on the sachet on the ground, but who knew that in the next second, a pair of powerful big hands clasped her shoulders in time.
Wei Manyao's eyes flashed, and when she looked up, she saw a familiar burly figure appear beside her at some point, and her stern gaze immediately fell on her stunned little face.
"Big brother?!"
Wei Hongjie's face seemed to be covered with a thick layer of clouds, and he coldly pulled Wei Manyao back, making the woman almost unstable, and then he personally bent down and picked up the sachet on the ground, and his mountain-like body covered his fifth sister's slightly embarrassed appearance.
He came towards Xia Qianwei with a kind of compelling pressure, and the perennial slack on the battlefield, and the evil spirit that he practiced in the army was overwhelming.
I only heard a deep voice sound, "Yongle County Lord, Wei accidentally knocked over the sachet at some point, and he will personally bring two new ones to Xia Mansion to make amends!"
Xia Qianwei looked at the man who suddenly appeared, the perennial training gave him a strong and sturdy body like a Jin Guoren, this noble and capable martial arts uniform set off his weapon and grandeur, a rough but heroic face was not angry and arrogant, under the thick eyebrows like a sword, the pair of eyes similar to Wei Manyao, slightly hung up, even if they tried their best to suppress it, still revealed a hunting-like light.
Xia Qianwei clearly noticed that as soon as Wei Hongjie appeared, everyone present involuntarily took a step back, revealing a look of fear, and the guards of the Dingxing Hou Mansion stood more and more straight, as if they were being trained.
She had heard that this Grand Prince of Wei was extremely harsh in governing the army, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
It is better to hear than to see, Xia Qianwei gently swept Wei Hongjie's unquestionable expression, he is worthy of being a figure in the heart of the army, and this city must be outstanding in the use of soldiers.
"Big brother, why do you want to ......" Wei Manyao was unconvinced, could it be that she was still afraid of this Xia Qianwei?
However, before she finished speaking, she immediately noticed that a group of people were coming slowly not far away, led by Mama Kong in the Queen Mother's Palace.
"Why is the county lord delayed here? The queen mother was reading the narcissus sachet, and she was in a hurry to let the old man come over to take a look. Mama Kong looked as if she had only noticed Wei Hongjie now, and showed a surprised expression, "General Wei is busy with military affairs, why don't you take the time to accompany Miss Wei Wu into the palace today?"
Narcissus sachets......
Wei Manyao's face froze, and he immediately understood something.
It turned out that this sachet was not given to the prince by Xia Qianwei, but she just said that narcissus means water-based poplar flowers, isn't it a great disrespect to the queen mother? !
Wei Manyao realized it later, but she clearly noticed that Mama Kong's displeased gaze fell on her, and the luck she originally had in her heart instantly dispersed like the foam in the water with the wind, she forcibly stood back with a weak heart and hid in Wei Hongjie's shadow.
"Mama Kong, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still in such spirits. General Ben accidentally collided with the county lord of Yongle, fortunately, the county lord was gentle and magnanimous, and did not care about the general, and when the sister was sent to the queen's palace, the general asked for the guilt in front of the queen mother!"
He was going to take the sachet on his body thoroughly, so Xia Qianwei said that he was deep in the city, how could the two sachets compare to his military exploits this time, if he refuted his statement, he would seem to be ignorant of right and wrong.
"The general protects the family and defends the country, how can the queen mother blame for a little thing, I have heard that the fifth lady is knowledgeable and reasonable, and today I see that this is really the case, since the queen mother is invited, the old body and the county lord of Yongle will not delay. ”
Mama Kong had a smile on her face and looked very kind, but the more Wei Manyao listened, the more frightened she became, and she had already cursed Xia Qianwei in her heart.
Looking at the group of people who were gradually moving away, Wei Hongjie had already restrained his expression, and a terrifying danger was filled with his eyes.
As the third brother said, this Yongle county lord is extremely cunning, and deliberately misled the fifth sister, thinking that the sachet was a gift to the prince, and lured her to offend the queen mother without covering her mouth!
If he said that he was unintentional, he didn't believe it, Xia Qianwei obviously had many opportunities to explain, so this must be a game!
Wei Hongjie immediately looked at Wei Manyao sharply, "I almost made a mistake when I first entered the palace, do you know why my father refused to let you accept the queen's invitation?"
If she hadn't arrived in time and let Mama Kong catch her fifth sister trampling on the Queen Mother's narcissus sachet, the consequences can be imagined!
Concubine Zhuang is not out of danger now, their Wei family must be careful every step of the way, how can they fall into the hands of others?
"Big brother, it's obvious that she tricked me!"
Wei Manyao was not convinced, and the little face like a jade plate was embarrassed, but Wei Hongjie snorted coldly, "If you are smart, how can you be tricked? Among the six palaces, there are many women like Xia Qianwei, not everyone can fight with you straight fists, without that amount of tolerance, don't have the idea of beating the prince!"
Even their aunt Concubine Zhuang is so cautious in words and deeds, her fifth sister is not the material for concubines at all, originally her father had paved the way to dispel the queen's mind, how did she expect that she was so bold, taking advantage of this grand event of the Four Kingdoms, the guards in the palace escaped with a slight negligence and entered the palace to be invited!
Ignoring Wei Manyao's aggrieved expression, Wei Hongjie had already taken a big step, and looked back impatiently, "Don't you want to leave yet?"
Listening to the eldest brother, my father finally agreed?
Also, now that she is already in the palace, can she still retreat?
Wei Manyao was overjoyed, but quickly reacted again, "In case Xia Qianwei complains to the Queen Mother......"
"Now you know that you're scared?" Wei Hongjie raised his eyebrows sternly, feeling more and more that his fifth sister was stupid and missed the opportunity, how could Xia Qianwei do useless work again?
He hated women playing tricks in front of him the most, and there was really only that way to deal with her......
