Ji Xianxian was still upset that Yin Hui could go back to her natal house.
Wei Yan put his arms around her and coaxed, “So what if she could go back? Her parents passed away long ago, and she only has a grandfather in the family to miss her. Unlike you, father-in-law and mother-in-law send things here every year. You are much more blessed than her.”
Ji Xianxian finally was at ease, and no longer thought about her.
Yin Hui’s family of three sat in a carriage
That was the first time Xiao Heng had left the palace.
After obtaining Wei Luo’s consent, Yin Hui raised half of the curtain and asked Xiao Heng to hold the window. She hugged the little guy in the back, and the two of them looked out together.
Xiao Heng’s eyes were moving around, he looked up at the sky for a while, and then looked down at the ground for a while.
In fact, the outside of the palace was too quiet, there was nothing to see. But unfortunately when they got to a lively area, Wei Luo asked Yin Hui to put down the curtains, and the two of them were not allowed to show their faces again.
Xiao Heng was twisting and turning in his mother’s arms.
Wei Luo took his son over, and his son kept stretching his hands out and he pressed them down. After failing to lie on the window many times, Xiao Heng looked at his father, pursed his mouth, and his whole face began to turn red.
That was a precursor to crying.
When Wei Luo silently opened the curtain on his side, Xiao Heng immediately laughed, and his red face also returned to a fair color.
Wei Luo supported his son expressionlessly, half of his handsome and stern face was exposed, and half was hidden behind the half-drawn curtain.
The carriage arrived at Lion Lane where the Yin family was located, and soon some neighbors recognized the carriage of King Yan’s family, and seeing a kid with beautiful eyebrows lying on the window, someone exclaimed, “Oh, this child looks so cute. Is he the son of Second Miss Yin?”
“Is it the third master who is supporting him?”
“So, the third master accompanied the second miss back to her natal home this time?”
“Second miss is blessed!” The voices of discussion continued one after another. Yin Hui glanced at Wei Luo, and whispered, “The neighbors like to watch the fun, but don’t worry about it, they don’t mean anything.”
Wei Luo’s expression was indifferent.
“Some people will follow the carriage. There will be a circle of people waiting to admire your demeanor at the gate of our house later. Just ignore them.”
Wei Luo looked over.
Yin Hui coughed, a little worried that Wei Luo would be annoyed by the crowd rushing to watch.
When they reached the house, the carriage stopped.
Yin Yong and his family stood ten steps away from the carriage early and waited respectfully.
Wei Luo got out first, and as far as he could see, there was indeed a circle of ordinary people stopped by the guards outside. Men, women, old and young, looked at him from head to toe. When he looked over, some of the people would lower their heads in fear and wait for him. Looking away, those who just lowered their heads immediately continued to look.
The accompanying wet nurse picked up Xiao Heng, and finally Yin Hui got out of the carriage wearing a veiled hat.
“This old man meets the third master,” Yin Yong suppressed his joy and saluted Wei Luo.
Wei Luo gave him a hand and said, “You don’t have to be polite, we are family.”
Yin Hui also said, “Grandfather, let’s go in first, it’s too cold outside.”
Yin Yong hurriedly asked the young couple to go inside.
Yin Rong walked next to Mrs. Zhao, secretly looking at Wei Luo’s noble demeanor that belonged only to the royal children, and then at the proud Yin Hui next to Wei Luo. Yin Rong gritted her teeth with envy. Almost, the man was hers, but she could only marry the seventh-rank magistrate Jiang Weizhuan. Even if Jiang Weizhuan finally entered the cabinet as the chief assistant, it would not be as good as the county princess.
The family moved to the hall and sat down.
Yin Hui and Wei Luo took the main seats. Yin Yong and Yin Jingshan sat at the lower left, and behind them stood the two brothers Yin Wen and Yin Lang. Mrs. Zhao was sitting on the lower right, and Yin Rong was standing behind her.
The well-trained maidservants served tea and then left respectfully.
Yin Hui knew that Wei Luo was a seldom talker. No matter how good her grandfather was at receiving people and things, he would not escape the awkwardness when he met Wei Luo. After a few words of politeness, she walked over with Xiao Heng in her arms, and said with a smile, “Xiao Heng, quickly give New Year’s greetings to grandpa.”
