A Blessed Daughter: Chapter 516 Wei Qingwan asks for help
Chapter 516 Wei Qingwan asks for help
“Yes, I understand...” Wei Qingwan agreed.
"I also believe that my sister understands. She is a smart person and a close confidant of the prince. She knows that she must do her best for the prince." Qi Shijing looked satisfied.
“Yes, I understand.”
“Okay, then I’ll bother my sister and run for her today.”
"yes."
Wei Qingwan had no choice but to agree.
Qi Shijing has talked about this. If she still doesn't agree, she will not only fail Qi Shijing's care for her, but also may cause the prince to be disappointed in her.
She absolutely cannot do this.
So Wei Qingwan took over the job.
After Qi Shijing left, Wei Qingwan asked Cuihe to dress herself up again.
“Make my face paler and choose old clothes.” Wei Qingwan requested.
"Miss, what are you doing? Didn't this make Princess Rui a joke?" Cui He said.
“Isn’t Wei Qingruo the most fond of seeing my jokes? Then I will satisfy her.” Wei Qingwan said.
“Miss, it’s too hard for you.” Cui He said heartbrokenly.
"What can I do? The princess has made it very clear just now. This matter is not only my business, nor is it the princess's business. It is related to the prince's grand plan and is not a trivial matter. If Wei Qingruo's desire to humiliate me is satisfied, I hope that my wish will come true in exchange for the prince, so it doesn’t hurt to sacrifice me a little.”
Wei Qingwan looked at herself in the mirror and had already made up her mind.
"Miss, I have made you suffer. When the prince knows that you have made such a big sacrifice for him, he will be moved." Cui He said hurriedly.
"I hope so." Wei Qingwan hoped that what she had done would win the prince's favor.
She has been married for some time, but she is still a virgin and has not received the blessing of the prince.
If this continues, her situation will be very worrying...
So this matter was very important to her, so important that she was willing to put down her dignity and accept Wei Qingruo's humiliation.

Prince Rui’s Mansion.
Songzhuyuan.
"Miss, someone from Prince Yu's Mansion is here. It's your sister. She wants to see you for something." Lin Fang reported to Wei Ruo who was sitting in the garden roasting sweet potatoes and roasting pheasants.
“Let her in.”
She was not surprised at all that Wei Qingwan would come.
Wang Yu sent a message to his second brother, who replied that he was not in good health and was missing. If Wang Yu still wanted to find them, he would have to send Wei Qingwan.
I just don’t know if they know the true relationship between her and Wei Qingwan.
If you knew, you wouldn't have made this stupid move, right?
She happened to have some free time today. Taking advantage of the autumn sunshine, she and Meimei were baking and eating in the sun in the yard. They could also take the opportunity to see what kind of opera Wei Qingwan was going to sing.
Not long after, Wei Qingwan arrived at Songzhuyuan under the leadership of people from Prince Rui's palace.
As soon as she entered the door, Wei Qingwan saw the fruits and vegetables all over the yard, and even the walls of the yard were covered with plants she didn't recognize.
After walking for a while, Wei Qingwan saw Wei Ruo sitting on a rattan chair in the yard. On the same rattan table in front of her was a freshly brewed pot of green tea, and next to it were freshly roasted sweet potatoes and taro. He looks very relaxed.
Wei Qingwan walked up to Wei Ruo and saluted: "I have met the princess."
Wei Ruo looked at Wei Qingwan's outfit today. "What, you look like this now, why do you feel that you have suffered a lot in Prince Yu's Mansion?" Wei Ruo teased.
Wei Qingwan lowered her head, looking aggrieved, but stopped talking.
Cuihe, who came with Wei Qingwan, helped Wei Qingwan answer: "Princess Rui, you don't know something. Our young lady's life in Prince Yu's Mansion is very difficult. The prince does not like our young lady and feels that our young lady does not have a strong natal family to support her. He couldn't help, so he kept neglecting our lady..."
Wei Ruo raised his eyebrows, "Good guy, are you planning to play a trick on her?"
"Then why are you here with me? Your natal family is incapable of supporting you, so you are not favored. Why don't you go to your natal family to come to me?" Wei Ruo asked.
"elder sister…"
"Stop it, you can just pretend when outsiders are around. Now that no one else is around, you don't have to call me sister so nicely." Wei Ruo interrupted.
“Sister, it was my sister who made mistakes in the past. She did a lot of wrong things and said a lot of bad things. I hope you will forgive me.”
Wei Qingwan knelt down in front of Wei Ruo with a pop, her eyes filled with tears, and she apologized word for word to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo looked at her and commented: "I have to say, your apology is much more sincere than the previous one."
After Wei Ruo said this, he sipped tea leisurely.
Wei Qingwan continued: "Sister, I was sorry for you before. This time, I came here shamelessly. I want to ask you to help my sister for the sake of you and me being both girls of the Wei family."
“How can I help you?” Wei Ruo said in an unhurried tone.
“Sister, regarding the Shenwu Cannon, if you are willing to put in a good word to His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty Prince Yu will remember the goodness of Prince Rui’s Mansion,” Wei Qingwan said.
Shenwu Cannon is the name given by the imperial court to the heavy front-loading smoothbore cannon made by Wei Ruo.
“So what if he remembers it?” Wei Ruo continued to ask.
“This…” Wei Qingwan didn’t know how to speak.
Seeing her embarrassment, Wei Ruo helped her continue: "Are you trying to say that King Yu will remember the kindness of Prince Rui, so that he will treat Prince Rui's palace well after he ascends the throne, even if Prince Rui goes to the west and leaves me as a widow? Are you also willing to take care of Princess Rui?"
Wei Qingwan's face stiffened, she paused for a moment, and explained: "That's not what I meant. I just said that His Highness Prince Yu would be grateful to His Highness Prince Rui. I had no other meaning, and I didn't dare to curse His Highness Prince Rui."
“Then why does Prince Rui’s Palace need Prince Yu to worry about it?” Wei Ruo asked.
"Sister..." Wei Qingwan was confused by Wei Ruo's question.
Seeing that something was wrong, Cui He quickly presented the box of pearls given by Qi Shijing to Wei Ruo.
“Your Majesty, Princess Rui, this is a gift from our concubine, Princess Yu. I hope you like it.”
Wei Ruo raised his eyes and Xiumei stepped forward to take the box.
Xiumei opened the box, and Wei Ruo just glanced at it lightly, with no emotion on her face.
They were just pearls. If Wei hadn't seen them before, the rewards she received included many large, plump and round pearls.
“Thank you, Princess Yu, for me.” Wei Ruo replied slowly.
“I hope that Princess Wangrui can give us a few kind words for our Royal Highness, Prince Yu.” Cui He said.
“I can’t agree to this.” Wei Ruo replied.
Such a straightforward rejection made Wei Qingwan turn pale. She felt that she had been greatly humiliated, but she had to suppress the grievance in her heart and begged again: "Sister, how can you be willing to help?"
