Rebirth of Glory and Splendour - Chapter 82

I am Wei Tuantuan. I am three years old this year. When I was born, my father was canonized as the Crown Prince of Dayan, so when I was born, I was the most distinguished baby in the world.

I once eavesdropped on the little palace maids who took care of me. They said that the moment I was born, the sky was full of colorful clouds, the red sun was gushing out from the east, the rays of the sun were shining, and the birds were singing in unison, which was a good omen for the sky.

The emperor’s grandfather was ecstatic about my birth, and immediately named me the grandson, and I became the second grandson of the Dayan Dynasty. I don’t quite understand what Taisun means, but I know that the imperial grandfather must have liked me very much.

The guy who was lying on my side with all his hands and feet wrapped around me and almost spit bubbles on my face was called Wei Yuanyuan. He is my younger brother. He is also three years old this year. He looks exactly like me. His biggest hobby is to hold me while sleeping.

Actually, I don’t really like Wei Yuanyuan sleeping with me in his arms. Although his body is very fragrant and soft, he is too lazy. He has to sleep until the third day of the day before he can get up. In that case, my practice time is not enough.

The emperor’s grandfather said, I am the grandson, and someone who wants to be a prince and an emperor in the future, must work hard since childhood and never relax. But every time I tried to work hard, Wei Yuanyuan would drag me by the side, which was really troublesome.

For example, right now, the sky is bright, and I have woken up, just in time to go to the martial arts field to practice with my little aunt.

but…

Before I could break Wei Yuanyuan’s arms and legs apart, he seemed to have a premonition that I was going to “abandon” him, not only hugged me tighter, but also softly shouted: “Brother , don’t move…”

So, I didn’t dare to move.

As my father said, I am an older brother, and I must know how to take care of my younger siblings.

Yes, in addition to Wei Yuanyuan’s younger brother, I have a younger sister. Her name is Wei Nannan. She is only four months old. She is white and tender. I don’t care, it doesn’t matter how long you like to sleep.

Wei Yuanyuan was different. When he was woken up, he loved to cry. No one could coax him when he cried.

I was most afraid that Wei Yuanyuan would cry, so I could only let him go everywhere. He wouldn’t let me move, so I could only really move.

Lying on the bed with my eyes open was boring. I had nothing to do but went back to sleep. Anyway, my little aunt was already used to me and Wei Yuanyuan being absent, so she wouldn’t say anything more.

When I woke up again, the sky was already bright, and Wei Yuanyuan woke up before me this time, sitting cross-legged beside me with a smug smile: “Brother sleeps late, I want to tell Daddy, hee hee…”

I silently rolled my eyes, too lazy to talk to him.

Seeing that Wei Yuanyuan and I were awake, the little palace maids filed in and waited on us to dress and wash.

Although the father is the crown prince, our family does not live in the East Palace—the place where only the prince is said to be qualified to live—but in the Yongfu Palace, which is the closest to the Zichen Palace. The East Palace is where the father works. Gotta go back to sleep.

Before Wei Nannan, Wei Yuanyuan and I lived with my father, but after we had a sister, we were moved to the West Side Hall.

I was okay, I just lost my temper for a few days and just ignored my father and father. Wei Yuanyuan was even more powerful. She cried so hard that no one could coax her. Pack it up and take it away, this is the end of the matter.

Wei Yuanyuan and I lived in Chengqian Palace, the main palace of Zichen Palace, for more than half a year, and we did not move back to Yongfu Palace until the full moon of Wei Nannan.

Although sometimes I would annoy Wei Nannan crying, but every morning, Wei Yuanyuan and I would go to see her, no exception.

After finishing the grooming under the service of the little palace maid, Wei Yuanyuan and I walked out the door hand in hand and went to the next bedroom to greet us. Father and father got up early and were playing with Wei Nannan, who had just drank milk. We heard her laughter before we entered the door.

Wei Nannan occupied his father’s arms, and Wei Yuanyuan rushed towards Daddy and smiled at me proudly after Daddy picked him up. Did he think I would care about him? It’s really naive.

Although I can’t see the expression on my face, I personally feel that I must be very serious. Who would have thought that the father only looked at me once, and then he leaned forward and backward with laughter, and pointed at me and said to my father, “I am pregnant. Hey, look, Tuantuan is so cute, and the royal father really did not choose the wrong person.”

Dad glanced at Father Wang, hugged Wei Yuanyuan in his left hand, and picked me up in his right hand, and said with a chuckle, “Tuan Yuanyuan is still young, how can you tell the difference.” Wei Yuanyuan kissed each other on the cheek.

Unwilling to be left behind, the king also came over and kissed us, causing Wei Nannan, who was ignored, to scream “Wow!” Father Wang laughed even more. He kissed Wei Nan and said seriously: “Of course it is different, but Tuantuan is the grandson, so it will be good for them.”

King Father’s words were too profound, and I basically didn’t understand them, but I did understand that Wei Yuanyuan and I were different.

It’s just that I still don’t understand, what is the difference between the grandson and the king of Linjiang.

Time flies, like white horses passing by, and in a blink of an eye, Zhenghe five years, and Wei Yuanyuan and I are going to go to the palace to study.

Wei Yuanyuan seems to be very resistant to this matter. Every day, she and daddy are soft and hard. She wants to go to Gong Xue a year later, but daddy doesn’t agree. He said that we should go last year because Wei Yuanyuan refused. It’s been delayed for a year, and it can’t be pushed back this time.

Wei Yuanyuan was not reconciled and continued to struggle. I was very anxious when I watched next to him. I was afraid that my father would not be able to fight him.

But I never thought about it. Dad didn’t say anything. He hugged his stomach and started to cry. Then Wei Yuanyuan and I were invited out.

Three hours later, I had a second younger brother. His nickname was Weiquanquan, which was named by me.

Because Wei Yuanyuan quarreled with his father, his little brother was born half a month early. Father Wang was very angry when he heard the news and sent us to the palace school on time. I have no objection to this, even though I didn’t go to the palace school, my little aunt was also teaching me to memorize books that I couldn’t understand.

The grandfather said that after entering the palace school, there will be a master who will slowly tell us the content of those books, and I am looking forward to it.

But what I didn’t expect was that two days before entering the palace school, the emperor’s grandfather suddenly issued a decree to let me move into the Changhe Palace, one of the three palaces behind the Zichen Palace, and live with him in the future.

I don’t understand why Wei Yuanyuan, Wei Nannan and Wei Quanquan can all follow their father and father, but I can’t.

But I didn’t ask anyone this question, because I thought that my father, my father, and my younger siblings, but my grandfather was alone, and my little aunt spent far more time outside the palace than in the palace. I moved there. Changhe Palace, you can always accompany him.

A few years later, when I was already the crown prince of the Dayan Dynasty, I realized one thing, the grandfather wanted to raise me personally, not because he was lonely and wanted someone to accompany him, but because he wanted everyone to be happy. Understand that my identity is different from Wei Yuanyuan.

The Weiquan circle is not yet full moon, except for drinking milk and howling. Wei Nannan has a squeamish personality and is jealous of her younger brother. Wei Yuanyuan was taught a lesson by her father, and she will soon go to the palace to study. Unhappy stomach, Yongfu Palace is like a pot of porridge.

At this time, I have to pack my luggage and leave my father and father and move to Changhe Palace to live alone.

Maybe it was because I was afraid that I might have some bad thoughts. During that time, my father spoke to me gently and softly. It didn’t mean that he could visit me in Zichen Palace every day and told me not to be afraid, but he told me to listen to the emperor. Grandfather’s words, can no longer fool around like a child.

I feel that my father has wronged me a bit. I am not Wei Yuanyuan, I am squeamish and willful. When will I make a fool of myself, but I still nodded my head honestly and told him and my father that I would be obedient and serious. Reading will never disturb the grandfather.

Not long after Daddy gave birth to his little brother, the father asked him to rest on the bed all day long, and he was not allowed to come down. He simply carried me to the side of the bed and sat, and asked me in a low voice, “Tuan Tuan, do you have a biological father and father? angry?”

I thought about it and shook my head gently, why did my father ask the same question as my father.

Dad didn’t seem to believe what I said, and he repeated the question: “Really? Do you think this is unfair to you?”

Without any hesitation, I said directly, “No.” I am the grandson of the emperor, and Wei Yuanyuan is not, so I can’t let him move out.

Maybe my answer was too fast. Dad was surprised and didn’t speak for a long time. I was afraid he wouldn’t believe it, so I said seriously: “Daddy, I’m a big brother, and I have to take care of my brother. Wei Yuanyuan is so timid. It’s scary to move out alone.”

Daddy’s eyes became even more incredible. He didn’t say anything and suddenly hugged me tightly.

Moving to Zichen Palace this time is completely different from the temporary residence at the age of three. That time, I felt sorry for Wei Yuanyuan and I when we were young. The grandfather did not put us in Changhe Palace or Yongxing Palace alone, but in the main bedroom of Chengqian Palace, which was only separated from his residence by a wall.

But this time, the imperial grandfather seemed to think that I was no longer a child, so he placed me in the Changhe Palace alone, and the palace servants who were supposed to serve also let me arrange it myself, and he had no intention of intervening.

But it doesn’t bother me. Anyway, I have seen my father handle the palace affairs – the grandfather has no queen, and the phoenix seal is naturally in my father’s hands, because he is the prince and the prince – as long as the palace people are divided into good work, it will be fine. , nothing complicated.

The royal grandfather was very satisfied with my performance. Although he didn’t show it in front of me, I heard him tell my father that I was much smarter than when he was a child. Baba, but I’m not afraid of him at all.

Gong Xue’s homework was easier than I thought, and I understood it after listening to it once. It was quite boring.

Wei Yuanyuan didn’t like to read since he was a child, and his little aunt taught him not to listen carefully. When he entered the palace school, he was the same as before, and he still slept in class.

Wei Yuanyuan and I were sitting in the middle of the first row. Young Fu could see it when he raised his eyes. I was afraid that he would be criticized, so I poked him lightly with my finger. As a result, Wei Yuanyuan ignored me at all. The direction continued to sleep, and he slept soundly.

Seeing this, I was in a hurry, so I reached out to pinch Wei Yuanyuan, trying to wake him up.

Maybe it was because I hit hard, and before Wei Yuanyuan opened her eyes, she cried with a “wow”.

I suddenly became overwhelmed, we have lived together for six years, and I have never made Wei Yuanyuan cry.

Young Master Wensheng came over and asked us what was going on. I was still stunned, Wei Yuanyuan said first, “Brother pinch me…”

The young master turned his head and looked at me. I felt a little wronged for no reason, so I argued, “Yuanyuan fell asleep, and I… pinch him.”

If it was replaced by the other masters of Gong Xue, it might be enough to say a few words to us separately, but this young master Jiang, his identity is not ordinary, he is not only my master, but also the hereditary king of Yongan. The requirements have always been the strictest.

No, it was obviously Wei Yuanyuan who slept in class and didn’t listen to Shaofu’s lectures. I just woke him up in a wrong way, but he was punished for copying The Analects once, and I was punished for copying the Analects three times. , Jiang Shaofu’s eccentricity is evident from this.

What made me even more depressed was that about half of Wei Yuanyuan’s “The Analects of Confucius” was copied for him by me.

The grandfather obviously knew Wei Yuanyuan’s behavior and me well, and he asked me afterward why I did it.

I frowned and said angrily, “If I don’t help him, Yuanyuan will definitely cry. I don’t want to see him cry.”

The imperial grandfather sighed faintly, and there was a strange look on his face that I couldn’t understand. Could it be that there was something wrong with what I said.

After hard copying half of the Analects of Confucius, Wei Yuanyuan is a lot more honest. Not to mention how serious the class is, at least he doesn’t dare to get distracted or sleep. , I can’t say.

Neither the imperial grandfather nor the father Wang’s father have high academic requirements for Wei Yuanyuan, but they have completely different attitudes towards me. Wei Yuanyuan can deal with the homework perfunctorily, but I cannot. Clearly, clearly.

That was the first time I really felt the meaning of the identity of the emperor.

In addition to taking classes in the palace school every day, the emperor’s grandfather would sometimes bring me with me in Xuanshi Hall to review memorials or summon ministers to let me sit in on their conversations. He doesn’t seem to have thought about whether he can understand those families at my age. National affairs.

Fortunately, my job is to listen, not to express my opinion. However, if the grandfather had a whim, he would tell me the contents of some of the excerpts in detail, and then ask me what to do. Most of the time, when he heard my answer, he couldn’t help laughing and couldn’t help laughing.

I used to worry about whether I said something wrong to get such a reaction from the royal grandfather.

But his habit continued for several years, until he passed the throne of the empire to his father.

In the beginning, the grandfather asked me something, I just wanted to give a general meaning, but later, he would have specific methods and steps to solve the problem. I had no choice but to look up precedents, or ask relevant officials for advice, and then try to write my own essays.

The days are like flowing water, flowing forward without rushing or slowing down, but my life has maintained an unchanging rhythm.

In the past ten years, the imperial grandfather did two unexpected things. First, he named his little aunt Princess Leyi and descended Jiang Yao, the king of Yongan, that is, Jiang Shaofu; second, he announced his abdication and passed the throne to his father, who had been the crown prince for ten years.

It is not unusual for the emperor’s daughter to be named a princess since ancient times, but the little aunt is only nominally the righteous daughter of the emperor’s grandfather, so it would be inappropriate to confer a princess, at least that’s what the old men in Zongzheng Temple thought.

Zong Zhengqing told the emperor’s grandfather that the little aunt was the daughter of the Marquis of Wu’an. According to the example of the Marquis of Zhennan, it would be a favor to be named a county head. After all, the daughter of the Marquis of Zhennan was named the county magistrate because he had no children after his death. Although Marquis Wu’an also had no children, he was still alive, in his early forties and in good health. Who would dare to guarantee that he would be born in the future? If the son does not come out, even if his military exploits are outstanding, and the daughter is the righteous daughter of the emperor’s grandfather, the title of the county owner will come to an end.

The imperial grandfather was born in the military and has the most stubborn character. He likes to hear such words. Besides, because of his father’s name, he has long hated going to Zongzheng Temple.

Sealing a princess with a different surname is a family affair of the royal family. Although it is a bit outrageous, it will not endanger the society. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wisely kept silent.

Zongzheng Temple made a few noises, but the grandfather pretended not to hear it, and the little aunt’s princess title and marriage were decided.

Compared with what happened later, Princess Leyi was just a small episode and never made waves again.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the tenth year of Zhenghe, the grandfather of the emperor announced that he was going to abdicate, and the civil and military people of the whole dynasty were shocked, and they all knelt down and asked His Majesty to think again.

Only the father, the king, was not polite at all, and respectfully bowed his head and said: “My son obeys the order!”

To be honest, I was a little dumbfounded. Father, do you want to promise to be so rude.

The abdication of the emperor is rare in all dynasties, but it is not without precedent. As far as I know of examples, when did the emperor repeatedly say that he was going to abdicate, the ministers begged in every possible way, and the prince resigned in every possible way, and finally reluctantly agreed.

But my father is good, he nodded and agreed without thinking, which is really surprising.

Afterwards, I asked the father and king why he was so direct, and he had to act like he did to leave a good impression.

He curled his lips and said that there was no need for this.

I was stunned. It turned out that my father’s trust in the emperor’s grandfather was far deeper than my trust in him.

The grandfather had made up his mind, and the ministers shouted “Your Majesty think twice” several times, and they all accepted the facts.

When the father was still the heir of the Qin king, he had great achievements in the liberation of Yizhou and Qiongzhou. After he became a prince, because his grandfather’s health was not very good, he had been handling most of the government affairs for a long time. Although the means of doing things were relatively simple and rude, they were also effective.

With military exploits, political achievements, and the only son of the emperor, his father’s upper position is justified.

When the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the first thing to do was to change the Yuan.

The father became the father, and the identities of my father and I also upgraded. He is the queen, and I am the crown prince. Wei Yuanyuan is still the King of Linjiang, and Wei Nannan and Weiquanquan have not yet served, so naturally they have no titles.

The father’s harem was not much more lively than the grandfather’s, but on the first day he ascended the throne, he let me move to the East Palace. The place he hadn’t lived in for a day when he was crown prince was purely used for office.

I was a little surprised, but I didn’t say anything and did it obediently.

The imperial grandfather said, I am different from my father, his crown prince is unshakable, and I cannot easily make mistakes.

The East Palace is very big, and it is not much better than the Zichen Palace. There are many palace people in the East Palace, but I have a feeling that I am the only one here.

When the father emperor ascended the throne, all the surrounding countries sent envoys to the court to congratulate him, including South Vietnam. The relationship between Nanyue and Dayan is somewhat unusual. Their late empress dowager is Princess Yunmeng, the eldest daughter of Emperor Renzong, and the most respected and beloved cousin of the father.

Ruan Meng, who came to the DPRK this time, was the youngest son of her aunt. She lived in Changle Palace as a child, and did not return to her home country until the death of Empress Xiaoren.

The other envoys said congratulations and did not stay long, only Ruan Meng stayed in Yujing in the name of a study tour. The father and father treated Ruan Meng very well, not only let him live in the palace, but also let him study with me and Wei Yuanyuan.

At first, I disapproved of Ruan Meng’s existence, not just a little prince of Fanbang, but more blood ties to the royal family. I read a lot of companions, and one more of them is nothing, and nothing deserves special attention.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Meng paid special attention to me, so she came to visit me in the East Palace when she had nothing to do.

The first time I received a post from Ruan Meng, I thought he had something serious to talk about, and I didn’t want him to see me, but the first sentence he said was: “I haven’t seen you for a few years, why are you not cute as you grow up? “

Since I moved to Changhe Palace, even my father and daddy rarely call me Xiaoming Tuantuan. When I heard this name, my first reaction was not anger, but surprise, and then I subconsciously asked: “We Have you seen it before?”

In theory, Ruan Meng and I may have met, but I have no impression at all.

“Of course I have.” Ruan Meng nodded immediately and said, “Tuan Tuan, you used to call me Brother Ning, and when I was leaving, you were crying and chasing to the gate of the palace, pulling on my sleeve and not letting go.”

I looked at him stupidly, but I was shouting in my heart, this is impossible, I would never do such a shameful thing.
