The Princess Wei Yang (106+)

Chapter 177 - His Highness Grand Prince Xu - Part 1

After her identity was settled, Li Wei Yang moved into Zhongxiu Courtyard. She had been worried these past few days, so she slept very well, however she didn't know that Madam Guo came to see her quietly several times in the middle of the night, wiping her tears for a long time, and was finally pulled away by the Duke of Qi. When Li Wei Yang woke up, it was already bright and Zhao Yue was waiting at the door. Li Wei Yang had previously told Madam Guo that Zhao Yue was a maid who had been with her for many years, so she wanted to bring her into the mansion. Madam Guo naturally did not refuse. Zhao Yue was guarding the room and with her there were two maids.

Seeing that Li Wei Yang woke up, a maid approached quickly: "Miss."

Li Wei Yang blinked and saw that the maid in front of her had big eyes, a round face, and was very pretty. The other turned out to have the same appearance, but there was an extra black mole on her chin. Both of them looked at her with a smile, and Li Wei Yang was a little surprised. The maid hurriedly gave her a bow, her round face was covered with blush, and she looked very cute as she explained: "Miss, my name is He Ye, her name is Lian Yue, we are twins." (t/n: Their names translate to 'Lotus Leaf' and 'Lotus Root'. Not important, but I thought it was cute.)

Li Wei Yang couldn't help but chuckle when she saw that the two of them were exactly the same.

Early in the morning, before Li Wei Yang had washed up, Madam Guo had already arrived. She eagerly watched Li Wei Yang dress up and softly gave her suggestions. Li Wei Yang used to like plain clothes, but she didn't expect Madam Guo to like elaborate clothes. In order to make her happy, Li Wei Yang had to add a hairpin of glass beads to her hair. At this time, Madam Guo smiled and said: "It is inconvenient for the Gracious Consort to come out of the palace. Your second aunt, the Duchess of Yingguo, and your second uncle, the Marquis of Nanming, were eager to see you yesterday, but were stopped by the princess. She was afraid that they would scare you. However, they already sent their gifts this morning."

Gracious Consort Guo was Guo Qiao, the eldest daughter of Princess Chen Liu. While other children were still learning to speak, Guo Qiao could recite poems by heart. When she was seven or eight years old, she was already able to write verses, and her speech was so clear and beautiful that even ordinary adults could not compare with her. However, what Guo Qiao is most famous for is not her talent, but her magnanimity and kind-heartedness. In addition, she gave birth to Grand Prince Jing, Yuan Ying, and had the support of the powerful Guo family, so she has always enjoyed great honor.

In fact, Li Wei Yang far underestimated the influence of the Guo family. Since she entered the house yesterday, the news spread throughout the capital. Gracious Consort Guo was a member of the family, so of course she would send gifts. The Emperor and Empress Pei, as well as other consorts in the palace, princes from all over the capital, and even ordinary officials, all sent gifts to the Guo family to celebrate that they had found their lost daughter. Of course, they don't care whether Li Wei Yang is the real Guo Jia. The point is that she is the only daughter recognized by the Guo family.

The housekeeper took out a long gift list, wiping his sweat, and reading each item.

The servants carried all the gifts into the yard, and then exited in an orderly manner. The huge yard was filled to the brim with many dazzling treasures that practically stunned everyone's eyes.

Madam Guo was always extremely patient with anything related to Li Wei Yang. She listened to the housekeeper's gift list, and then asked people to bring them to Li Wei Yang one by one -

"This headdress set is a gift from your eldest aunt, Gracious Consort Guo. She hired a craftsman to design it for you personally." Madam Guo said, pointing to the exquisite set of jewelry in front of her. Li Wei Yang took a look. The gold headdress was inlaid with rubies, and was also skillfully decorated with cateye stones, lapis lazuli, and coral. The matching necklace, earrings, hairpins, bracelets, and rings were all made of gold inlaid with rubies. They were exquisitely crafted and displayed delicacy and elegance in every detail. This set alone was already worth a lot.
