Chapter 2653: Chapter 2653: What a Twist of Fate (5)
However, when Jiang Fangfei and Yang Ruxin walked out hand in hand, their smiles were still as bright as flowers.
But no matter how Wanyan Liang looked, he felt something was amiss and lacked the previous excitement.
Perhaps his gaze was too intense, Jiang Fangfei even looked over with a blush: "Crown Prince, do you think these plum branches look good?"
Wanyan Liang felt like he had swallowed a fly and forced a smile: "Very good." Then he turned and walked away. He knew that even if he exposed her hypocrisy now, if Jiang Fangfei didn’t admit it, and if Yang Ruxin deliberately concealed it for her, even the Imperial Physician couldn’t immediately diagnose it, so he must think of another solution.
Jiang Fangfei coyly lowered her head, but there was a flash of light in her lowered eyes, he really bought it.
Yang Ruxin saw Wanyan Liang’s expression, feeling quite pleased; this was a good start.
A few days after the Emperor’s birthday celebration was the little new year, and even Gu Qingheng rarely took a day off, inviting a few people to his home for drinks.
Yang Ruxin, meanwhile, was in the kitchen making various delicious foods with the cook.
Wei Yao was helping at the Gu Family, assisting with serving dishes to those drinking with Gu Qingheng.
Accidentally, she bumped into Qi Jingyi, who was about to go to the bathroom.
Wei Yao fell to the ground while Qi Jingyi instinctively reached out to help her up, earnestly asking if she was hurt.
As Wei Yao shook her head and ran out, the entire dining room fell silent.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Qi Jingyi asked curiously, "I know I’m good-looking, but with you all staring at me like this, I can’t handle it."
"Old Eight, do you feel unwell at all?" The Crown Prince asked.
Qi Jingyi naively shook his head: "No, well, maybe just because the wine was strong, I’m a bit dizzy."
"So you’re not allergic to Miss Wei Yao?" Qi Jingyun frowned.
"Huh?" Qi Jingyi still hadn’t quite realized.
"Old Eight, Wei Yao turns out to be your destined one." Qi Jingxuan exclaimed, "That’s fate indeed."
Qi Jingyi looked at each person before suddenly turning and running out.
Everyone rushed after him.
Qi Jingyi ran all the way to the kitchen, grabbed Wei Yao’s hand with a smile.
Wei Yao exclaimed and immediately slapped him: "Scoundrel."
Qi Jingyi was unfazed, covering his reddened face, and ran out again.
"Come on, we should welcome our eighth sister-in-law." The Crown Prince gave Wei Yao and Yang Ruxin a knowing look before leading the way out.
Gu Qingheng naturally followed them to the palace.
As everyone left, Wei Yao suddenly stumbled, and if Yang Ruxin hadn’t supported her, she might have fallen: "Xinxin, is this it?"
"It’s only halfway." Yang Ruxin helped her to a bench, "Next, it depends on the Emperor—prepare to meet him."
This time, Yang Ruxin guessed wrong, as Emperor Xuanjing didn’t summon Wei Yao but summoned Yang Ruxin to the palace instead to inquire about Wei Yao’s situation.
Yang Ruxin naturally didn’t hold back, and even sighed: "It’s truly unexpected they would have such fate."
