After the marriage, the disabled war king was spoiled by me
Chapter 246 Intrigue and deception
One day, Zhao Lan came to Du Yunsheng's boudoir and expressed his sincere gratitude: "Princess Du, if it weren't for your great help, how could I have won the emperor's appreciation so smoothly?"
Du Yunsheng smiled and shook her head: "General Zhao, you are too kind. I just did my little bit."
Zhao Lan took out an exquisite brocade box from his arms and handed it to Du Yunsheng: "I prepared this especially for you, I hope you like it."
Du Yunsheng opened the brocade box, and a beautifully carved jade pendant appeared before her eyes, with the words "heart knot" engraved on it. She was touched and said softly, "General Zhao, I accept this jade pendant. I will remember this friendship in my heart."
After Zhao Lan left, Du Yunsheng held the jade pendant in his hand, feeling deeply moved. In this turbulent era, it is a blessing to meet such a close friend.
The morning light shines through the palace walls of the Western Wei Dynasty, through the carved window lattices of the majestic Zhengxi General's Mansion, and softly spreads on the green grass in the mansion garden, like thousands of golden lights, making it sparkle. Inside the mansion, a majestic mansion stands proudly, with carved beams and painted buildings, revealing a strong ancient charm and elegance.
At this moment, in a quiet courtyard in a corner of the mansion, Du Yunsheng sat alone in front of the window, gently stroking a piece of jade-like ornament in her hand, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. Since she entered the Jiang family, she has never been favored by her parents-in-law, and even had to endure all kinds of difficulties from her sister-in-law Du Yunrou.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Jiang Rou's charming voice came from outside the door, and she walked into the room with a group of servants.
Du Yunsheng slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Rou, with a peaceful smile on his face: "Sister, I'm just appreciating these blooming flowers."
Jiang Rou approached, glanced at the jade pendant in Du Yunsheng's hand, and sneered: "Sister, this is just an ordinary jade, why are you so obsessed with it?"
Du Yunsheng gently put down the jade pendant and said calmly: "Sister, this jade pendant was given to me by my mother when I got married. It carries my mother's expectations and blessings, so I should cherish it."
Jiang Rou sneered: "Sister, you are really good at self-pity. But I want to remind you that the prince may not be biased because of you."
Du Yunsheng frowned slightly and remained silent. She knew very well that her marriage was just an exchange of family interests, and that the prince Jiang Shaohan had no true feelings for her, and would not change because of her.
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the house. Jiang Shaohan, covered in dust, rushed into the room in a hurry, and his eyes fell on Du Yunsheng with concern: "Yunsheng, are you feeling unwell?"
Du Yunsheng shook his head, stood up and walked towards Jiang Shaohan: "I'm fine, it's just my sister's interruption."
Jiang Shaohan turned his gaze to Du Yunrou and asked seriously, "Jiang Rou, why do you always bully your sister?"
Jiang Rou's face suddenly changed, and she said with a specious reasoning: "Sir, this is not bullying, it's just a joke between my sister and me."
Jiang Shaohan stared at Jiang Rou sharply, and said in a deep voice: "Are you kidding? How can my sister's identity be a joke?"
Jiang Rou was so frightened that her face turned pale. She had never thought that Jiang Shaohan would blame her for Du Yunsheng. She gritted her teeth and finally told the truth: "Sir, I was jealous because my sister always took the limelight."
Jiang Shaohan was silent for a moment. He knew Jiang Rou's character very well. Although she was a little domineering, she was not completely unreasonable. He turned to Du Yunsheng and said, "Yunsheng, how do you think we should deal with this?"
Du Yunsheng smiled slightly. She understood Jiang Shaohan's guilt and didn't want to embarrass him: "Sir, maybe my sister was just angry for a moment. I don't blame her."
Jiang Shaohan glared at Jiang Rou and motioned her to leave. Jiang Rou was terrified and dared not say anything, and hurried away with her servants.
After Jiang Rou left, Jiang Shaohan walked to Du Yunsheng and gently held her hand: "Yunsheng, I'm sorry for neglecting you before. I will take good care of you in the future."
Du Yunsheng raised his head and looked at Jiang Shaohan, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, my lord. In fact, I also think that my sister has no ill intentions, she is just stubborn."
Jiang Shaohan nodded and decided to pay more attention to Du Yunrou in the future so that everyone in the mansion could live in harmony.
As night fell, the house was brightly lit. Du Yunsheng stood alone in front of the window, gazing at the starry sky, her heart in turmoil. Although she married into the Jiang family, she always felt the invisible barrier in the house.
At this moment, Jiang Shaohan walked in lightly, his eyes gentle: "Yun Sheng, would you like to walk with me?"
In the moonlit night, Du Yunsheng nodded softly, and her heart seemed to be relieved at this moment. In this silent night, being able to walk with someone was a rare comfort, which temporarily dispelled the haze in her heart.
The two of them walked side by side on the deep path of the mansion, the silvery moonlight sprinkled on them, interweaving into a mottled picture of light and shadow. Jiang Shaohan walked in front, looking back from time to time, his eyes full of concern, asking about Du Yunsheng's recent situation.
"Prince, there are many affairs in the mansion. Have you been too busy recently?" Du Yunsheng asked with worry in his eyes.
Jiang Shaohan paused for a moment, his eyes fell gently on Du Yunsheng, and he smiled and said, "Yunsheng, you don't have to worry, I have my own plan. But seeing you frowning all day long, I feel quite sad."
Du Yunsheng bowed his head and whispered softly, "My Lord, I know that I may be a burden, but I still long for a chance to prove my worth."
Jiang Shaohan held Du Yunsheng's hand tightly, his voice firm and affectionate: "Yunsheng, you are my beloved wife, how could I dislike you? Don't worry, I will fully support you and let you gain a firm foothold in this mansion."
Du Yunsheng looked up, tears of gratitude gleaming in his eyes: "Thank you, my lord."
As their footsteps extended, they passed through the garden and came to the rockery behind the mansion. Here, the rocks were rugged, the ancient trees were towering, and it was quiet and silent. Jiang Shaohan found a flat stone and sat down, and Du Yunsheng followed suit.
"Yun Sheng, do you know why I love you so deeply?" Jiang Shaohan suddenly asked.
Du Yunsheng shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know.
Jiang Shaohan sighed, his tone carrying a hint of desolation: "I have been in the midst of power struggles since I was young. My father is in the court and my mother comes from a prominent family. In this environment of intrigue and deception, I gradually realized that family affection and love are extremely fragile. Therefore, I long for a pure emotion, even if it is just the sincere friendship between friends."
Du Yunsheng listened quietly, and felt a spontaneous respect for Jiang Shaohan.
"Yun Sheng, ever since you stepped into the Jiang family, I realized that you are the friend I have always dreamed of." Jiang Shaohan held Du Yunsheng's hand tightly, his eyes full of affection.
A warm feeling surged in Du Yunsheng's heart. She understood that in this mansion, she had finally found her home.
