Rebirth of Glory and Splendour - Chapter 31

Seeing that Wei Lan and Wei Mao were very rude to Wei Chongrong, Wei Kou glared at them respectively, but her temperament was always gentle and peaceful, and the two younger brothers were not afraid of him, and staring at them had no effect.

Wei Kou let go of Wei Lan and Wei Mao, came over to hold Wei Chongrong’s hand, and said warmly, “Rong’er, it’s okay, my sister will play with you.”

Wei Chongrong nodded, ignoring Wei Lan and Wei Mao at all. His character is like this, you are good to me, I am better to you, you are not good to me, I am too lazy to pay attention to you. If they weren’t the sons of the prince’s uncle, he would have been rude to them long ago.

At this time, seeing the strange atmosphere among the boys, Princess Yuankang thought that the elders were all in the palace and restrained them, and said: “Alan, you are the elder brother, take Mao’er and Rong’er to play outside. Son, come and talk to my aunt, I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

Wei Kou was worried that Wei Lan and Wei Mao would bully Wei Chongrong, and didn’t want to go, but Princess Yuankang was in a hurry, and she thought that there were palace people outside, and they should not dare to be too presumptuous, so she asked the two younger brothers I just went to the Queen and Princess Yuankang’s side.

After Wei Kou left, the three boys, you look at me, I look at you, although they are not pleasing to the eye, they made the same action, that is, they climbed over the threshold and went outside to play in the yard.

For Wei Lan and Wei Mao, the palace servants outside the hall can be regarded as non-existent, so Wei Mao looked at Wei Chongrong and muttered: “Second brother, they said he was a little wolf cub, I Don’t play with the little wolf cubs.”

The term “little wolf cub” originated from Wei Su. He was the emperor, and he spoke with a golden mouth. Wei Zhao did not dare to refute it if he was dissatisfied. , he will never be lenient.

Wei Mao is only one year older than Wei Chongrong. He just turned five years old this year. He can hear the name “little wolf cub”. It can be seen that there are not a few people talking about Wei Zhao and Wei Chongrong behind their backs. Someone is still pushing the envelope.

It’s just that Wei Zhao doesn’t like to go back to the palace. Today is the first time he has returned since the palace was opened, so he doesn’t know much about the situation in the palace. Wei Chongrong couldn’t even hear about things Wei Zhao didn’t know. He almost exploded when he heard the name “little wolf cub”.

Wei Chongrong was very angry, and subconsciously wanted to beat someone up, but Wei Mao was about the same height as him, and he was thinner than him, and thinking about how good Wei Ming and Wei Xuan were to him, he really couldn’t do anything, so he countered: ” I am not a little wolf cub, you are not allowed to talk nonsense!”

Wei Mao is the youngest son of Wei Ming and Jun Feili. He was born a little frail. He was always the favorite of the prince’s husband and the queen. No one dared to say anything harsh to him. He heard Wei Chongrong’s words and immediately shouted. : “You are the little wolf cub, born by the fourth emperor and a wild man.”

“What did you say?!” It is bearable or unbearable, even if Wei Mao scolds Wei Chongrong, Wei Zhao is actually involved. Wei Chongrong’s inverse scale is Wei Zhao, how can he bear it now, he rolls After rolling up his sleeves, he was about to rush up.

“Rong’er, come back! Don’t make a fool of yourself!” Wei Zhao was standing by the window, the two children were talking louder and louder, how could they not hear them. It’s just how good Wei Chongrong is. You can imagine Pei Di’s tragic situation. Wei Mao’s small body might be beaten to pieces by him. Wei Zhao must stop it. Besides, Wei Mao is an ignorant child, how old he is, for his brother’s sake, he can’t even care about his nephew.

Xie Xiu stood beside Wei Zhao and looked at him with some worry. In the major families of Dayan, the various unbearable remarks about Wei Zhao were only a lot more than those in the palace. She opened her lips slightly, as if to say something, but in the end she didn’t say it.

Wei Chongrong was not convinced and did not dare to openly oppose Wei Zhao, so he had to withdraw his fist angrily. Wei Mao mistakenly thought that Wei Chongrong was afraid of him, and smiled triumphantly at him. Wei Chongrong glared back fiercely, making Wei Mao shiver with fright, and did not dare to speak for a long time.

Not long after, Wei Ming and Jun Feili came, along with Xie Bai and Xie Qiu. Xie Bai is also related by blood to the royal family. He is the son of Wei Su’s elder sister, Princess Chongqing, and the predecessor of Song Guogong, Xie Zhou. He is a cousin and younger brother of Princess Yuankang.

When Wei Mao saw Wei Ming, he trotted over all the way. Unexpectedly, Wei Ming didn’t hug him, he just touched his head. Instead, he hugged Wei Chongrong, who was standing still under the eaves, and talked to him affectionately. Then, the two have questions and answers.

Wei Mao was so angry that he was extremely dissatisfied with Wei Chongrong. Their father and king belonged to them, so how could they be so nice to that little wolf cub. Although he was very upset, Wei Mao was very honest on his face. He knew that his father loved his uncle the most and did not dare to make trouble in front of him.

The atmosphere of the family banquet was very harmonious. Except for Princess Suining who died young and Princess Gaochang who married far away, Ji Wan’s children were all there. Wei Lan and Wei Mao didn’t like to see Wei Chongrong, but they were very good at pleasing the queen, and the atmosphere was very lively.

It’s not that Wei Chongrong doesn’t know how to pretend to be naughty, but Wei Lan and Wei Mao are already preconceived. Wei Mao played the game of “big eyes and small eyes”.

After three rounds of drinking, Ji Wan said to Wei Zhao: “Azhao, you are not too young, you should marry a princess and go home, otherwise, who will help you take care of those things in the house. Whose girl do you like? Just tell the mother, and the mother will help you decide.”

Wei Zhao had never thought about this question, and was stunned for a while. He didn’t know how to answer for a while, because he didn’t speak for a while, which made the family dinner a little cold.

Seeing this, Princess Yuankang hurriedly echoed: “That is, do you want my sister to introduce you to me? I’m looking for a wife for A Qiu. A girl of the right age in Quan Yujing, I have all the documents on hand and keep them well-kept.”

In fact, Xie Qiu is young and has a perfect family background. His mother is a princess, his father is the son of the eldest princess, and the Marquis of Yichun, who was proclaimed by the emperor, must have a title in the future. For his marriage, where does Princess Yuankang need to go to find out, the people who came to propose marriage and inquire about the news, almost didn’t trample the threshold of the Princess Mansion and Hou Mansion.

When Princess Yuankang interrupted, Wei Zhao quickly cleared his thoughts and replied, “My son thanked my mother for her concern, but my son’s return to Beijing is still young and there are many trivial matters. I don’t want to think about marriage for the time being.

Ji Wan could see that Wei Zhao had no intention of marrying a wife, and with Wei Chongrong as a drag bottle by his side, aristocrats of similar families might not necessarily marry their daughters to him. After all, Wei Chongrong was not the child born by Wei Zhao when he was young and frivolous, but he was forced to be born by the monarch of the enemy country. The so-called “unknown mother” on the jade plate is just self-deception. No one in Yujing City knows the truth. The difference is big. There were so many people at the dinner that Ji Wan didn’t want to ask any more questions, it was just Wei Zhao’s marriage, she would definitely take care of it, and it was impossible for him to delay it.

Hearing the conversation between Ji Wan and Wei Zhao, Wei Chongrong was expressionless, but his heart trembled. It has been more than a year since his rebirth, and what he thinks most about every day is the future of himself and Wei Zhao, how to escape from Fuyu, how to avoid the scourge of witchcraft, and how to keep the family of the East Palace…

He never thought about the possibility of Wei Zhao returning to Dayan and marrying him a stepmother. Wei Chongrong was a little stunned. He wanted to look up to see Wei Zhao’s expression, but he felt it was too deliberate, so he had to bury his head lower.

Xie Xiang’s temperament is the most intelligent and shrewd. Seeing that her grandmother and uncle were a little unhappy, she hurriedly changed the topic and talked about interesting things about herself and her brother. Xie Qiu sang with her very discerningly, Wei Xuan and Wei Kou were also by the side. Agreed, and put the matter aside.

Except for Wei Chongrong, Wei Mao was the youngest. He had always been dishonest when eating. He got off the table early and went outside to play. Seeing that there was a precedent, Wei Chongrong told Wei Zhao and slipped out, intending to go to the yard to breathe.

Who knows that Wei Chongrong’s luck is not very good, and he ran into Wei Mao as soon as he went out. Seeing Wei Ming’s absence, Wei Mao pointed at Wei Chongrong and shouted: “Little wolf cub, don’t be complacent, thinking that my father loves you, so you can show off your power in the palace. Let me tell you, both the imperial grandfather and the imperial grandmother are If they don’t like you, they will adopt you to the second uncle as their son, and then marry the fourth uncle to the princess, then no one will want you anymore, hahaha…”

“What did you say? Say it again!” Although Wei Chongrong was a little unhappy that Wei Zhao was about to get married, if Wei Zhao agreed, he would not object, and he would still respect the woman he deserved. But adopt him out, what does that mean…

Wei Chongrong knew that the “Second Emperor Uncle” that Wei Mao referred to was Wei Ming’s second brother Wei Zhao’s second brother, that is, his second uncle, the late Zheng Wang Weixu.

In Wei Su’s harem, Concubine Xingui Shangguanling was second only to Empress Ji Wan by birth, she was the concubine of Shangguanhong, the former Duke of Yue. Wei Xu is only three years younger than Wei Ming. At the time of his birth, although Ji Wan had been canonized, Wei Ming had not been officially canonized as a prince. Wei Xu had the support of powerful foreigners behind him—even though the Yueguo Gongfu was not as good as the Changning Wangfu. However, the three brothers, Shangguan Ao, Shangguan Yi, and Shangguan Xiang, were not equal, and the two were evenly matched, so some people speculated that a **** storm in the harem was inevitable.

In fact, such speculation has never become a reality. Wei Xu was born frail and sick, and was determined by the imperial doctor that he could not live to adulthood at birth. In the face of her weak son, even if Concubine Xin Gui once had the idea of ​​competing with the queen, she disappeared at this time.

Fortunately, Shangguanling had an elder brother Shangguanxiang with excellent medical skills. Under his escort, Wei Xu stumbled and lived to the age of 20. He even married a daughter-in-law and entered the house. Unfortunately, he died without leaving any children.

Wei Su’s treatment of the harem and children has never been considered meticulous. No matter whether he is a concubine or a servant, only the best years can be remembered by him. If his family is strong, he will leave some respect after he falls out of favor, otherwise he will be completely abandoned. behind the head. Among the many princes and daughters, in addition to the earliest Princess Yuankang and Wei Ming, Wei Zhao was also favored by him because of the cool Xiao Junlin. Fortunately, Concubine Xin went early and left a good impression on Wei Su, and her older brother was able to do it, so Wei Su did not love Wei Xu, but he also felt a little pity.

Wei Xu died young without a son, and the king was not inherited. Wei Su intended to give him an adoptive heir in his name, so that he would have someone who would serve incense in the future. Who would have thought that none of Wei Xu’s brothers would have a suitable son to adopt to him, and this matter has been delayed until today.

First of all, Wei Ming is a direct descendant, and Wei Xu is a concubine descendant. There has never been a reason for a large sect to adopt a small sect. The prince’s direct son, naturally, cannot be adopted by Zheng Wang. However, the prince and the prince are deeply in love. The East Palace does not talk about the concubine and the prince, and there is no palace maid. It is unrealistic to expect the prince to give birth to a concubine. Looking at Lu Wang Weixiao again, he and Wei Xu are both concubines, and his sons, except for the eldest son who inherits the title, can adopt, and there is no restriction on direct descendants. It’s a pity that Wei Xiao gave birth to her first son last year after six years of marriage.

In addition, Wei Zhao is living in Fuyu, and Wei Shi is a minor, and it is impossible to count on it. There is no suitable grandson of the emperor, and the Wei family’s clan may not have no children of the right age, but in that case, the emperor is not happy, and would rather wait and see, rather than take advantage of others.

Four months ago, when Wei Zhao returned with his son, Wei Sui had beaten him to death and refused to recognize Wei Chongrong, but Wei Zhao pressed him to death, and Ji Wan persuaded him to say that Wei Chongrong was born from a concubine, so it would be fine if he recognized him. It happened to be adopted to Wei Xu. In this way, Wei Xu has a successor, Princess Zheng can rely on him for the rest of his life, Wei Zhao is less burdened, and it is easy to say that he is close. Wei Su thought for a while, and admitted that the queen’s words made sense, so he reluctantly recognized Wei Chongrong, and forced Wei Zhao to give him a different name from the other grandsons.

Neither Wei Su nor Ji Wan thought about what Wei Zhao and Wei Chongrong thought about the adoption, and whether Princess Zheng was willing to accept an heir of unknown origin. In their view, these are unimportant, and their actions are absolutely for their own good.

Let’s talk about Wei Zhao first. According to Wei Su’s original intention, he wanted to send Wei Chongrong away so that he and Wei Zhao would never see each other again in this life. In this way, those rumors about Wei Zhao will always be rumors, and no one can confirm it. For Wei Zhao, it may be the best way. However, Wei Zhao disagreed and fought to the death, but Wei Chongrong was left behind, adding countless troubles to himself and the royal family.

If Wei Chongrong was adopted to Wei Xu, Wei Zhao would still be able to see him, but Wei Chongrong picked up a prince for nothing, and Wei Su couldn’t think of any reason for them to object. As for Princess Zheng, who has been widowed for many years, it would be good to have a nephew who can adopt her. Does she have the qualifications to choose?

Wei Mao saw that Wei Chongrong was staring straight at him, except for the previous sentence, he could no longer speak, thinking that he was frightened by him, and said proudly: “I said that you will soon be a little wolf cub that no one wants. Now, the second aunt is very scary, really scary…” Wei Mao didn’t see Princess Zheng very often, and Princess Zheng was amiable to her nephews and nieces, but Wei Mao was just afraid of her, so afraid that she didn’t want to see her, he I always felt that her eyes looked at it, which made people feel hairy, especially terrifying.

Wei Chongrong is not afraid of Princess Zheng, but he doesn’t want her and Wei Xu to be his sons, he doesn’t want anyone except Wei Zhao. For a long time, Wei Chongrong had no sense of identity with the Wei family. In his previous life, Wei Chongrong never saw anyone in the Wei family except Wei Zhao who ignored him, Wei Su who rejected him, and Wei Yang who used him. After his rebirth, his relationship with Wei Zhao was gradually cultivated over a long period of time. His affection for Wei Ming and Princess Yuankang was also because they were good to him first, and he himself did not have the self-consciousness of being a Wei family member.

Wei Xu died before Wei Chongrong was born, and their lives had nothing to do with each other. For whatever reason, Wei Chongrong couldn’t accept it, and he wanted to be a son to Wei Xu who had never met.

Does Wei Zhao know about this? What did he think? Will he feel that doing so is a good arrangement for himself? After all, if he stayed by Wei Zhao’s side, he could not be the heir, and would only be an ordinary clan in the future. Once he was adopted, he would immediately be the same county king as Wei Zhao.

But in that case, he is no longer Wei Zhao’s son, and he can no longer call him Daddy. When he sees Wei Zhao, he wants to be like Wei Xuan and the others, calling him Uncle Four Emperors.
