Golden Branch

"Mother, I'm sorry for making you worry! But don't worry, I only look thin, but I'm in excellent health."

It was a matter of chance, as she had just succeeded in losing weight when her father passed away.

Wang Heng was a vegetarian during the filial piety period and had to perform various shows, so she had no chance to gain weight again. Over two years, she developed a physique that was easy to lose weight.

Now, even if Wang Heng lets loose and eats as much as she wants, she won’t gain weight.

Of course, Wang Heng would not be so indulgent.

She is fat because she eats on purpose.

Now that she no longer has the reason to "defile herself", she will no longer abuse herself.

She likes delicious food, but she is not greedy and just likes to have a taste.

Concubine Jiang was not easily persuaded. Her almond-shaped eyes, like searchlights, scanned Wang Heng from head to toe, not missing a single sign of her abnormality.

Wang Heng felt her sharp gaze and said with a smile, "Mother, if you don't believe me, don't you believe my brother?"

Given Lou Yu's care and possessiveness towards her, he would never allow Wang Heng to hurt herself. He would care about Wang Heng's health more than anyone else.

And everyone who is familiar with her relationship with Lou Yu knows this.

For example, the prince, Concubine Jiang, Wang Mian and others.

As expected, after hearing what Wang Heng said, Concubine Jiang's stern expression softened instantly. "That's true. Han Zhang will tolerate your willfulness in other matters, but when it comes to your health, Han Zhang will never give in."

"..."

Wang Heng's original intention was to bring up Lou Yu so that her mother would believe her, but after hearing what her mother said, Wang Heng felt helpless.

Yes, my mother is really like that. She trusts Lou Yu, an outsider, more than her biological daughter.

"Where's my brother?"

Wang Heng secretly complained and quickly changed the subject.

She entered the palace to pay her respects to her mother and to see her younger brother.

Just looking at the portrait is not enough.

The Ninth Prince is not only her brother from the same mother, but also her future support.

As a fake princess with no blood relationship with the royal family, having a prince brother would definitely make her status more noble.

Wang Heng is not blinded by greed and disregards family ties, but relationships between people, even between close relatives, need certain interests to maintain.

Besides, it’s not realistic to say that you have deep feelings for someone you have never met or interacted with.

"She's in the side hall. I've already sent someone to pick her up. You two siblings have never met before. Now that you've met today, you must get close to each other!"

"Ah, it's really... bad luck!"

When Concubine Jiang said this, there was a hint of resentment in her tone.

She didn't blame Wang Heng, but she felt that Wang Lin died at the wrong time.

Tsk, he is disgusting when he is alive and he is disgusting even when he is dead.

Can't you wait a little longer, let Aheng see her biological brother, and then die?

Concubine Jiang really hated Wang Lin so much that even after Wang Lin died, she did not forgive him because of the so-called "the dead are greater and all debts are forgiven."

It's either hate out of love, or it's simple disgust and hatred!

"Yeah, I will definitely take good care of my brother."

Actually, there is nothing wrong with meeting each other now.

The Ninth Prince just turned two years old, making him three years old in lunar age.

Even if we have been in contact before, and only meet once or twice a month, the little one may not remember it.

When you are a little older and can remember things, you can interact more often and naturally become close.

Not to mention, Wang Heng’s princess residence has a rare animal garden, which is a great tool to coax her children.

Princess Changning was deeply attracted to the place. Although Wang Heng was in mourning and could not go out, she could not resist Princess Changning's enthusiasm to come to the princess's mansion to pet big cats and ride pandas.

Yes, in the past two years, Wang Heng and Princess Changning have not stopped communicating.

Princess Changning misses the little deer, pony, little brain axe, rolling, peacock and other pets in her sister Langya's house.

Every once in a while, she would go to ask Queen Li to allow her to visit the princess's mansion.

Queen Li was already feeling guilty because she couldn't take care of her youngest daughter much due to her health. Since Ji Nu had finally come to her with a request, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

Moreover, Queen Li knew that Wang Heng was a reliable person.

Although he is young, he acts cautiously.

She is filial to her elders and friendly to her siblings.

Although she was still an unmarried girl, she managed the huge Wang family in an orderly manner.

Wang Heng was able to take good care of her elderly and seriously ill grandmother and her young half-brothers and half-sisters.

Queen Li knew that Wang Heng's good reputation might be exaggerated.

However, as a teenager, she was able to pretend so perfectly even if she was just faking it, which was enough to prove her strong character and good abilities.

It is very rare for a fake to be flawless and persistent.

She is smart, ruthless, and knows how to manage things... Queen Li admires her very much and is happy to see her daughter be on good terms with her.

Princess Changning didn't have too many thoughts. She simply liked her beautiful elder sister and the many pets and toys in her elder sister's house.

Ahem, with a time-traveling girl like Wang Mian, Wang Heng had the opportunity to meet Princess Changning, and also had a future brother, so she found an empty yard in the princess's mansion and built an amusement park with very modern features.

Swings, see-saws, sand pools, pools, rocking horses, wooden cars... Some of the amusement facilities require a certain level of high technology and cannot be reproduced one-to-one. Wang Mian also tries to replace them with things that can be made in this era.

Various wooden facilities have rounded corners and are wrapped with thick cotton and brightly colored silk.

Princess Changning liked it very much.

I come here every ten days and never want to leave.

Relying on the rare animal park and the amusement park, Wang Heng was able to coax even Changning, a non-blood-related sister, to be close to her, not to mention her biological brother.

Wang Heng was just thinking about how to get along with the Ninth Prince when she met him later, when she heard the sound of footsteps outside the palace.

Wang Heng quickly raised her head and looked towards the door.

The sun was shining brightly at this time, and the bright light passed through the spacious temple door, casting a shadow.

In the light and shadow, there are many tiny dust particles flying.

A lovely round figure rolled in happily like a Cuju.

When Wang Heng saw this "familiar" body shape, she inexplicably felt a sense of intimacy.

Uh, is this the wonder of blood?

When Wang Heng was a cub, she was white, plump and round like this.

And her younger brother, who was born to the same mother, looked like this.

Wang Heng was slightly stunned, and a small round figure had already run out of the light and shadow.

Without the effect of backlight, Wang Heng could clearly see the appearance of the Ninth Prince.

The little guy, about two or three years old, was only three inches tall and had a little chubby body.

He perfectly combines the advantages of a saint and Concubine Jiang.

She has the skin of Concubine Jiang, which is as white as snow, and the deep eyes and high nose that are unique to the Yang royal family.

She has the small, delicate oval face of Concubine Jiang, and the three-dimensional facial lines of a saint.

Wang Heng knew the fat brother's age and secretly estimated his height. She couldn't help but sigh: He is worthy of being the descendant of a saint, as he is taller than his peers.

This is probably one of the characteristics of the Northern nobles: they are tall.

Just like Lou Yu, who is only one year older than Wang Heng, but is much taller than her.

Wang Heng was not short, at five feet five inches, she was considered tall among women.

But when she stands next to Lou Yu, she is like a real little bird.

In Wang Mian's words, this is called "the cutest height difference."

But for Wang Heng, it was a little inconvenient——

Tsk, brother is so tall. If I were to tame my husband like those tough ladies, I wouldn’t be able to hit him in the face even if I stretched out my hand.

Is he going to jump up and hit people like Lu Galan did?

"Hiss! What am I thinking about?"

Wang Heng quickly realized that she was distracted. She quickly collected her thoughts and turned her attention back to the fat brother who was running towards her.

"Mother! Mother! Where's my sister? Where's the sister with the axe and the cart that my sister mentioned?"

The Ninth Prince is young, but he is very articulate.

The words were spoken in a baby voice, but the sentences were clear.

He rushed to Concubine Jiang, grabbed her knees with both hands, tilted his little head back, and revealed his chubby chin.

The delicate little man asked excitedly, like a happy dog.

It was clearly the first time that Wang Heng met A-di, but she inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

It's not just that A-di's round figure seems familiar, and it's not just that A-di and his mother have somewhat similar looks to her, but more importantly, it's a wonderful feeling.

This is her biological brother, born from the same mother as her, and is related to her by blood!

This kind of intimacy is not only an indescribable feeling, but also reflected in the fact that Wang Heng can understand his childish words.

The Ninth Prince had just been calling "sister", but Wang Heng was strangely aware that the "sister" he was talking about was not a person.

One is her, Wang Heng, and the other is Princess Changning.

My brother must have heard from Changning that there are many novel things in Princess Langya's mansion.

The little guy was excited and wanted to play too.

My younger brother should also know that the sister with the little axe on her head and the little car is his biological sister from the same mother.

So, today, when Wang Heng entered the palace, the palace maids went to inform the prince, and the ninth prince came running over with great joy.

"Rhino is here! Come, look, this is your sister!"

Concubine Jiang reached out and hugged her son, speaking softly, and personally turned his little body around so that he faced Wang Heng.

The Ninth Prince only felt a flash before his eyes, and then a stunningly beautiful woman came into view.

Hey, she looks familiar, like my mother!

The Ninth Prince looked at Wang Heng, then turned to look at Concubine Jiang. His red little mouth was parted and saliva was dripping.

Concubine Jiang expertly wiped her son's saliva with a handkerchief and urged him, "Rhinoceros slave, go and pay your respects to your elder sister!"

Wang Heng had already stood up and bowed slightly, "Greetings, Ninth Prince!"

She is a fake princess, but A-di is the real prince.

Wang Heng had to pay her respects to the prince first, and then accept the greetings from her younger brother.

Although the Ninth Prince is young, he grew up in the palace and already knows some basic etiquette.

He stood up straight, accepted Wang Heng's greeting, then clenched his fists and said in a childish voice, "Xinu greets elder sister."

……

At the Dali Temple, Lou Yu left his post early.

He hurried out of the yamen and prepared to ride to the palace gate to pick someone up.

However, just as he walked out of the door, he was stopped by a boy and a girl.

"Brother!"

Lou Lin and Lou Lang saluted together...
