Wei Ruxuan was very depressed.

She has lived for more than ten years, and during these ten years her mother taught her that as long as she wanted something, no matter whether it belonged to her or not, she should be brave enough to fight for it, and once she got it, it would be hers.

Her mother, Liu, was a lady from a prominent family. After marrying her father of low status, she had always been able to call the shots in the Wei family and get whatever she wanted. Even Wei Ruxuan, the legitimate daughter, was treated like a princess.

She really couldn't understand why she had to flatter and please the Fifth Prince, whom she had fought so hard to get, and if she didn't do what the other party wanted, he would give her a cold shoulder.

Wasn't it said that after she took the leading female role, she would be pampered for the rest of her life and become the queen smoothly?

After returning, Wei Ruxuan and Xiao Jiashan had a quarrel.

She had been keeping a low profile in the palace for days, and when she returned home she was not the principal wife, so she had to hide any good things she got and could not show off. Even Xiao Jiashan, who had always doted on her, was cold to her. Wei Ruxuan could no longer bear the hardships of marrying into the royal family, and poured out all her grievances.

"After entering the palace, I have to serve the Queen. I have to listen to her when she says I can't do anything. The Queen Mother hates me and she gives me a cold shoulder!" Wei Ruxuan wiped her tears and pulled Xiao Jiashan's clothes, "Now even you are bullying me! You swore to me that you would love me forever, but those words were eaten by dogs?"

Xiao Jiashan took a deep breath. He knew that he couldn't explain it to Wei Ruxuan, and he shouldn't explain anything to her, so he shook off Wei Ruxuan's hand.

Wei Ruxuan looked at him hatefully: "If I had known earlier, I would have married the King of Qin. Look how much the King of Qin protects the Princess of Qin. Even though the Princess of Qin is a sickly girl without a mother's family, he didn't give her the cold shoulder like you do! In order to marry you, my father lost his position as a minister!"

Xiao Jiashan's eyes instantly turned red: "What did you say? I'm not as good as Xiao Chengji?"

Since he was a child, his father has always believed that he is not as good as Xiao Chengji. Now that he has married a woman, does she think so too?

Clearly, when she first met him, she thought he was perfect in every way and better than Xiao Chengji in every way, but now she says he is not as good as Xiao Chengji.

If taking Xiao Chengji's things would not give him a special kind of psychological satisfaction, how could he possibly do such an unkind, unjust and treasonous thing?

Wei Ruxuan was frightened by Xiao Jiashan. She sat down on the chair, then covered her face and started crying.

Sure enough, what her mother said was right. All men in the world are unfaithful. They will turn against you when they have taken advantage of you enough.

Things were smashed here, and the maids and eunuchs outside listened to the noise without even daring to breathe, for fear that the wrath would fall on them the next moment.

......

Xiao Chengji took the umbrella from Yan Yu and asked, "Why did you come here in person to give me the umbrella? It's so cold, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

"I've never been here before. I just happened to see the scenery on the way." Yan Yu looked at Xiao Chengji, "Someone said you fell off your horse and were injured. Where were you injured, Your Highness?"

"..."

If there was any injury, it was just that the reins cut my skin. After more than a day, the wound has healed.

Xiao Chengji said: "Go back first."

Yan Yu was wearing a thick cloak, his small face was a little pale due to the cold wind, and some snow was hanging on his long eyelashes.

Xiao Chengji stared at her face for a while, then turned his head away: "The road is slippery, hold on to me, otherwise, if you fall, I won't help you."

Yan Yu said "Oh" and grabbed the sleeve of Xiao Chengji's clothes.

Huo Ha saw Xiao Chengji holding an umbrella over Yan Yu's head, his hand being blown by the cold wind, and hurriedly came up and said, "Your Highness, it's windy today, let me help hold the umbrella for you."

Xiao Chengji was a little annoyed with him: "Go away."

Huoha hurriedly rolled to the back.

They soon arrived at Xiao Chengji's residence. It was warm as spring here and it was the palace closest to the emperor's residence.

Ruidong hurried over to take the cloak from Yan Yu and brought some warm water to wipe her face and hands.

Yan Yu looked at Xiao Chengji: "Where did you fall? What did the imperial physician say?"

Xiao Chengji wiped his hands: "It's nothing serious."

Yan Yuke didn't believe it. How could falling off a horse not be a big deal?

When she was at the Shao family, she often heard her grandmother say that a young man from a certain family fell off a horse while riding and died, or that a child became stupid after falling off a horse while learning to ride. The horses were fine, but the people who fell off them were either dead or disabled. This time, the horse that Xiao Chengji was riding had a broken leg, and Yan Yu was really worried that something serious might happen to him.

Xiao Chengji said: "My head hurts a bit."

Yan Yu quickly helped him sit down. When he was standing, Yan Yu really couldn't see his head. She helped take off Xiao Chengji's hair crown and didn't find anything wrong, but thought that sometimes head injuries are internal problems and cannot be seen from the outside.

Yan Yu was a little worried: "Where? The head? Your Highness, you didn't lose your memory from the fall, did you? It would be bad if there was something wrong with your head."

It's hard to guess what he's thinking in the first place, and if there's something else going on in his brain, it's even harder to understand what he's thinking about every day.

Xiao Chengji's face darkened, and he grabbed Yan Yu's wrist with his backhand and pulled her into his arms: "Yan Yu, did you do this on purpose?"

Yan Yu shook his head.

She sat obediently on Xiao Chengji's lap, and the pearl tassels in her hair swayed gently when she shook her head.

Xiao Chengji's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Get off my lap."

Yan Yu said "Oh" and was about to jump out of his arms. Xiao Chengji held her waist with his big hand: "What have you been busy with these two days?"

She was held down and couldn't get down, so she could only continue to sit on his lap and told him all the things that happened in the mansion.

Xiao Chengji actually didn't want to listen to what she was saying now.

After Yan Yu finished reporting his work, he struggled a little: "Can I come down now? Since there is nothing to do here, I will go back tomorrow."

"The snow will get heavier tonight, and we won't be able to go back tomorrow." Xiao Chengji said, "Go to sleep first, and leave after the snow melts."

Yan Yu asked: "Your Highness, would you like to have some midnight snack?"

Xiao Chengji hardly ate anything at the dinner and only drank a few glasses of wine. After Yan Yu said this, he felt that he was indeed a little hungry.

Yan Yu quickly told the nanny to prepare some food. It was cold today, so he also heated up a pot of wine to warm himself up.

The kitchen quickly served wontons stuffed with mushroom, black fungus and fresh meat, ham and bamboo shoot soup, shark's fin with osmanthus and snow-white bean paste rolls, and heated a pot of Yingyu wine.

Yan Yu ate a piece of red bean paste roll. There was not too much honey in it, so it tasted lightly sweet and not too greasy.

She also mentioned the matter of Concubine Tian.

Yan Yu didn't know what happened in the mansion before, and didn't want to bother to find out, but Concubine Tian was Xiao Chengji's person after all, so she still had to explain it to Xiao Chengji, so that he wouldn't think that Yan Yu was intolerant in the future.

Xiao Chengji was not surprised.

Queen Mother Zheng was used to being cruel and ruthless. Once her subordinates disobeyed her wishes and had their own ideas, they would basically be eliminated by her.

Concubine Tian did what she wanted, but what she did made Empress Dowager Zheng lose face in public, so it is not surprising that she was executed.
