Long Live the Empress

Chapter 319 Lifelong Learning

"Alas, I know that I am not as good as my two elder sisters. I am of low status and have had to live by someone's face since I was a child. Later, my aunt passed away, and I was the only one left to barely support myself! Now, fortunately, the Fourth Prince loves me, and I am finally happy!" As she spoke, Yue Yuyan wiped the slightly red corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, revealing a scar on her slender wrist.

"Miss Yuyan, your injury..." Wang Miaoer, the sixth-rank judge of the capital, exclaimed.

When she shouted, everyone turned their eyes to Yue Yuyan's wrist.

Which of the young ladies present here is not pampered? Even a broken nail would be considered detrimental to their image. If they accidentally got a small wound, the family would spend a lot of money to buy scar-removing medicine to apply, for fear that they would hurt their body and be disliked by their future husbands!

This scar also proves that Yue Yuyan did not live a happy life in Yue Mansion! Come to think of it, with a legitimate sister who is a princess and a concubine sister who is the most beautiful woman in the capital, where does she rank?

Yue Yuyan bit her lip and smiled, but that smile looked aggrieved no matter how you looked at it, "It's nothing... I was just careless... It doesn't hurt at all... Really!"

She mentioned sister but didn't specify which sister it was, leaving everyone to imagine for themselves!

They were all young ladies who grew up in the backyard. They had seen mistresses rubbing concubines, but for the sake of their own reputations, they dared not do it openly. At most, they would deduct the monthly interest and punish them by kneeling in the ancestral hall...

They had never seen scars like this before! Looking at the scar that looked like a worm crawling on her snow-white wrist, it was not difficult to imagine what kind of torture Yue Yuyan had suffered.

Wang Miaoer took out an exquisite little medicine bottle from her bosom and handed it to Yue Yuyan. "Miss Yuyan, this is the magic scar removal medicine my father bought. I have been using it since I was a child and it works very well! If you don't mind..."

Yue Yuyan was flattered to take the medicine bottle and looked at Wang Miaoer gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Wang! But... the Fourth Prince also spent a lot of money to find medicine for me. If it doesn't work in the future, I will definitely apply the one Miss Wang gave me!"

Yue Yuyan originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity to say this. On the one hand, it could show her difficult life and arouse people's sympathy. On the other hand, it could spread Wei Zilin's good reputation!

Sure enough, after returning home, everyone discussed with their families about the Yue family's harsh treatment of concubines' daughters. Even Yue Jinghao, who had just become a princess, was described as a ruthless eldest sister. They also said that the Fourth Prince was gentle and honest, and was a good and approachable prince!

For a time, many ministers praised Wei Zilin many times during court sessions, which made Wei Zilin's reputation grow. He became the prince that all the noble ladies wanted to marry the most, except for the crown prince!

Fourth Prince's Mansion

Seeing the matchmaker handing over one portrait of noble ladies after another, Yue Yuyan couldn't help feeling sad, but in order to please Wei Zilin, she could only pretend to be magnanimous.

Wei Zilin is best at dealing with women and understands women the best. At this moment, as long as he says some sweet words to Yue Yuyan, he will definitely make her fall in love with him!

"Yan'er, thank you for your hard work! In fact, you don't have to do all this for me. Now my second brother is under house arrest by my father, and my brother the crown prince is the only one in power. It's better for me to be a leisurely prince..."

Yue Yuyan threw herself into Wei Zilin's arms and said delicately, "Fourth Prince, please don't say that. As your woman, it is my duty to plan for you! The Crown Prince treated you like that, and you did this to protect yourself! I am just... just worried that you will forget me if you have another woman... I don't expect you to love only me, I just want to occupy a small place in your heart!"

Wei Zilin put his arm around Yue Yuyan's shoulders, looked at her affectionately and said, "No matter how many women I have, I only love you! If...if I can get what I want, I will definitely make you the Imperial Consort, make you the most favored concubine in the palace, and make all the women in Wei Kingdom envy you!"

Isn't this what Yue Yuyan wanted? When she heard Wei Zilin's promise today, she was so moved that she shed tears!

Although she is a concubine's daughter, she knows how important it is to win over officials, and marriage is a great way to win over officials!

Raising a daughter to be both talented and beautiful, with both virtue and morality, isn't it just to let her marry into a good family? Which good family can be better than the royal family?

In order to show her support for Wei Zilin, Yue Yuyan took the initiative to open the portraits for Wei Zilin to choose from. Unexpectedly, Wei Zilin's expression became even uglier after seeing these portraits.

"Fourth Prince, are you not satisfied?"

Wei Zilin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "These are all seen by my brother the Crown Prince and my second brother..."

What this meant was that the portraits of women brought by the matchmaker were given to Wei Zilin because other princes didn't want them!

Yue Yuyan threw the portrait aside angrily, "They are just a bunch of old scoundrels who flatter the powerful and bully the weak! When they come again next time, I will have them beaten out!"

Wei Zilin pulled Yue Yuyan into his arms and said, "Besides mother, only Yan'er is the most sincere to me... I will never let you down!"

Without waiting for Yue Yuyan to answer, Wei Zilin picked her up and carried her sideways into the inner room.

This was Yue Yuyan's first time to come to Wei Zilin's inner chamber. She was extremely excited. Did this prove that she was one step closer to her goal and had a deeper place in his heart?

Thinking like this, Wei Zilin had already untied Yue Yuyan's belt, "Yan'er, you are so beautiful..."

Yue Yuyan was not like other women who would act shy or reluctant at this time. Her mother was an actress, and she had already learned all these things on the couch!

Not only does she have the unique temperament of noble ladies, she also has charm and skills, but she is not as revealing/vulgar/obscene as a prostitute...

All these made Wei Zilin very satisfied!

It’s a pity that Yue Yuyan’s status is too low, and she doesn’t have a powerful maternal family behind her. But she is a little smart, so she is most suitable to be a chess piece to win over relationships!

Yue Yuyan deliberately stood up slightly, letting her clothes slide down her shoulders, revealing a little bit of her shoulders. She looked very seductive: "Let me serve you!"

With a strong pull, Wei Zilin fell on the couch. Yue Yuyan approached him and used all she had learned in her life...

After that, Wei Zilin drew circles on Yue Yuyan's back with his fingers, his voice hoarse with desire, "In fact, I don't need to take so many women in. Yan'er will definitely not like it. As long as there is one with a strong background, it will be fine! It's a pity...she escaped!"

Yue Yuyan recovered from the fairyland and knew that Wei Zilin was talking about Yue Jinghao. "Don't worry, Fourth Prince. I will think of another way! I must ask the Princess and the Ninth Prince to be your strong backing!"

Wei Zilin was waiting for Yue Yuyan to say this, and excitedly covered himself with the quilt again!

Wei Zilin's personal guard Mo Yan was guarding outside the door, listening to the noise inside the room, and his disdain for Yue Yuyan reached its peak!
