The Princess Wei Yang

23.Fortune Cat

As soon as Wei Yang returned to her compound, Mo Zhu came up with a smile.

“San xiaojie, lao furen has invited you over to her place.”

Li Wei Yang grinned. Her eyes slightly shifted and immediately noticed a shadow lurking behind the sycamore tree in the yard. Bai Zhi furrowed her brows but didn’t speak. That lass, Hua Mei, was always spying on xiaojie like a stubborn spirit. She was bestowed by Da furen, so if they were to get rid of her, others might start saying xiaojie was displeased with Da furen. Yet if they let her be, eventually it was going to bring calamity.

Li Wei Yang pretended she didn’t see and turned to Zi Yan. “Bai Zhi and Mo Zhu will come with me. You will stay here.”

Mo Zhu was bestowed by lao furen so she obviously had to go, but Bai Zhi and Zi Yan herself both came with xiaojie from Ping Cheng. However, lately, xiaojie was close to Bai Zhi. Zi Yan subtly furrowed her brows that it was hard to decipher. When she noticed Li Wei Yang calmly staring at her, she suddenly came to realization.

“Xiaojie, please go. I will look over the compound with care.”

With her two servants, Li Wei Yang made her way towards He Xiang Yuan.

She had just arrived and had noticed the doors were wide opened. The laughter of the noble women could be heard. Li Wei Yang blinked and quickly entered. In the hall, Lao furen as well as all the other furens and xiaojie were present. Everyone looked extremely cheerful.

Li Wei Yang had just entered when Li Zhang Le stood up with a smile. “San mei, take a look. Our Da ge hadn’t yet returned but his gifts for all of us has already arrived.”

Li Wei Yang followed Zhang Le’s gaze and noticed all the servants had displayed the endless brocades of silk and hand-embroidered fabrics of different varieties on the table. The hall was radiating like the afternoon sun, causing everyone’s eyes to become blurry.

The stewardess Sun niangzi was smiling to the point her eyes had disappeared. She said, “Everything Da shaoye sent are of high quality. Lao furen, look, this is Jin Qiao silk from Yunzhou. The colour is exceptional. This is Yanzhi silk woven from Chengzhou. The colour is bright and beautiful. It was dyed well. Apparently, the seamstress was said to have embroidered clothes for the Empress Dowager. This is the hand-embroidered peony silk from Linzhou. The seamstress is known as the expert in this field. Also, there’s Bi jiangxia silk, Ziluo silk from Mozhou; Haiyun hong silk, Luoxiu jin silk, golden oriole silk from Ningzhou. All the niangniangs and nobles in the palace wore this kind of material. Truly, it makes one’s vision dizzy!”

Da shaoye was studying and traveling the world outside, it was natural that he had visited many places. However, he wouldn’t send these gifts for no reason. These gifts were obviously from someone else, using Da shaoye’s name, in order to gain favours with the Prime Minister’s estate.

There was no need to guess who this person was. Li Wei Yang already knew.

Li Zhang Le lowered her gaze. Her slender fingers stroked the patterned silk. “Even though the Capital’s silk are gorgeous but it can be too exuberant. Yet this silk is different, it is a lot more elegant.”

Everyone’s eyes were on Li Zhang Le. Her unrivaled beauty caused others to be in a daze, just like all those gorgeous and magnificent silk brocades, as if she was the flower embroidered on the silk. It was completely delicate, ingenious and admirable, making it hard for anyone to look elsewhere. But that kind of beauty was a needle prickling Wei Yang’s eyes as she slowly looked away. There were some people in this world who were born with their parent’s love and affection, incomparable talents and skills and the fortune of having an unrivaled beauty. All she had to do was slightly look and she could steal someone else’s hard-earned effort.
