Phi-Fic Chapter 142 Feeling different
Chapter 142 Feeling different
"Who will help me when I am in trouble? Besides, what they said is right. It is not good to be the only favorite, and it is also not good to meddle in other people's affairs." The Fifth Lady lowered her eyes, "Let's go. These things have nothing to do with us. I didn't hear anything."
"Madam, don't worry. This incident is also a reminder to my ninth brother's wife." The Fifth Lady looked at the worried look of the nanny beside her and explained a little, "Just like me, every failure makes you wiser. Sometimes fortune and misfortune are interdependent, which is not a bad thing."
"I am just worried that after people know about this, the relationship between you and the Ninth Concubine will be different from before," Yu Jin was not worried about the Ninth Concubine, she was just worried about her own master.
The Fifth Lady's smile deepened, "Mammy, you still care about me the most. Don't worry, I'm not doing nothing." She didn't say she would do nothing, but doing nothing is not an option.
"It's good that the master knows what's going on," Nanny Yujin didn't ask any more questions. She just wanted to know that the master knew what's going on. She was just worried... worried that the master would fall into the magic wand and become jealous because of her. Fortunately, she was overthinking it.
Yinqi, who was in the Ministry of Justice at the moment, looked at his ninth brother who appeared in front of him, "You are not in the Ministry of Personnel, why are you here? Is there something? If you have nothing to do, don't be lazy. Even if you don't have any real power, it won't hurt to learn more from them. Don't let your ninth prince's temper get the better of you!"
"Fifth brother, I know. I came to remind you. Wen Yao mentioned what happened yesterday when she was paying respects to the emperor..." Yinqi told Yinqi about the incident. "Talk to Fourth brother. Don't let a rift between you and Fourth brother arise because of a Li family member."
"Your fifth sister-in-law mentioned it, but it seems that she didn't tell the whole story," Yinqi frowned, "I will go to the Ministry of Revenue to find Fourth Brother about this matter, but I feel that Concubine De seems to be doing it on purpose. By the way, please remind Mother to pay more attention to your fifth sister-in-law."
"Okay, I got it. What else?" Yinzhen looked at his fifth brother. Pay attention to the fifth sister-in-law? This is easy. Just tell my mother. However, Yinzhen lowered his voice and said, "Fifth brother, what happened between you and the fifth sister-in-law?"
"Don't worry, she and I treat each other with respect, and there will be no more cases of favoring a concubine over a wife," Yinqi said with a hint of relief on his face, patting Yinzhen's shoulder, "Don't worry about me, this is a blessing in disguise for me, think about yourself."
When Yinzhen returned to the Ministry of Personnel, he kept thinking about the relaxed look on his fifth brother's face. He narrowed his eyes and looked at what the Minister of Personnel was busy with. Yinzhen quickly regained his composure and stepped forward.
The birthday banquet for Yinli in the palace was not big but it was not a non-event, at least the ladies of honor were invited. After the banquet, Wen Yao and the Fifth Lady followed Concubine Yi back to Yikun Palace.
"I thought it would be similar to the Ninth Princess' birthday party," Wen Yao sat down and ate dried fruits, talking about Yinli's birthday party today.
"Noble Lady Chen was not favored to begin with, and with what Concubine Rong has done in recent days, Yinli's birthday banquet was also a warning to Concubine Rong. It's just a pity for this child Yinli," Concubine Yi said pitifully but still with a smile on her face. She glanced at the Fifth Lady and lowered her eyes.
The Fifth Lady smiled at Wen Yao, "Ninth brother's wife is kind-hearted and feels sorry for Seventeenth brother, but Seventeenth brother is not innocent either. After all, the people who raised and gave birth to him are unpopular, so he will suffer." Looking at Wen Yao eating dried fruit, "Is Ninth brother's wife hungry? The snacks made by mother's small kitchen are very delicious."
Wen Yao shook her head, "I'm not hungry, I just want to eat something and can't stop. Fortunately, I can't gain weight by eating a lot," she continued to eat dried fruits, then smiled, "Mother, your snacks are famous for being delicious. Next time, don't accuse me of being greedy. After all, it's because your snacks are too delicious."
"Mother, Fifth Sister-in-law, I'm a little tired today, and there are still some account books that I haven't looked at. I'll go back to the prince's residence first. Mother, I'll come to pay my respects to you another day," Wen Yao stood up. It was not good to have too many banquets. When she was older, she wouldn't have to attend banquets. She couldn't be too old yet. It was a pity... there was no such good thing.
"Go back first, Ruoxiang, you should also go back home and have a good rest. You are not well yet," Concubine Yi nodded, and then gave Ruoxiang a few more instructions.
Seeing that the Fifth Lady had no intention of coming down immediately, Wen Yao did not wait for her and left the Yikun Palace. Nanny Cui He beside her asked, "Why did the master go back so soon? Didn't the master say that he would wait for the Ninth Master to come back and have supper together in the Yikun Palace before returning to the prince's residence?"
Wen Yao shook her head. She did not bring other servants with her. She only brought Nanny Cui He and Xiao Dong. She said, "I feel that the Fifth Lady is a little...off today. I feel like she has been...better to me? Do you feel the same way?"
This is not a matter of whether her temperament has changed or not. After all, the Fifth Lady has been away from home for a long time. Today, something feels a little wrong.
Wen Yao admits that she is not that smart and her brain is not as good as others, but she definitely thinks she is very sensitive to people's emotions and has a natural talent for feeling them. If the Fifth Lady's enthusiasm for her today is calculated as a percentage, it is about 20% more. It is not that obvious, but it can be felt.
Maybe Wen Yao was just overthinking, but since she had the golden finger and gossip skills, she would not let any accidents go, unless she was unaware of it.
There is nothing you can do if you don't know the situation, but once you realize something, even if you are overthinking and suspicious, Wen Yao will not let go of any possibility. After all, there is nothing more important than your own life. In ancient times when people could be stabbed from time to time, she cherishes her life very much.
"I didn't notice anything. I just felt that since Fifth Lady recovered, her temperament has become more likable, her mind has become more profound, and her emotions are no longer superficial," Cui He thought about Fifth Lady's appearance and said what she noticed.
Xiaodong shook his head, "I don't know." He didn't feel anything, not even any changes before and after.
Wen Yao didn't say anything else. She would check the gossip on her cell phone when she got back and find out. Maybe she was just overthinking it.
When they returned to the prince's residence, Wen Yao was sitting in the study, and Xiao Xia came in. Wen Yao looked up at Xiao Xia and asked, "What's the matter?"
"My Lord, it's like this. I saw the princess from the Tenth Prince's backyard, Guo Luoluo, meeting her mother, Niuhulu. This was normal, but Niuhulu also met with Hexik. I don't know what they talked about, and I didn't find out," Xiaoxia said coldly. "My Lord, I suspect that she is still resentful of my rejection of Princess Guo Luoluo last time."
"I understand. You go out first. Let me think about it carefully and have someone keep an eye on Hexik," Wen Yao was not surprised. Hexik was restless. There were two reasons why she was not punished. The first was that it would be disadvantageous to her to punish the princess right after her wedding.
