MTL - Rebirth of Glory and Splendour-Chapter 30 Xie Xiu
Wei Zhao practiced from dark to mid-day, ten fingers were cut by the bowstring, blood dripped, and finally an arrow hit the target crookedly.
Seeing this, Wei Chongrong cheerfully clapped his hands beside him, but the sound was too loud, Wei Zhao noticed him, glared at him, but did not scold him.
Wei Zhao took up the bow and arrow and had to practice again. Huo Qingyang stopped him and advised: "Your Highness, haste is not enough, you can take it step by step, within half a year, you will be able to restore your original level, there is no need to rush." Six After a glimpse of it a few years ago, he no longer doubted Wei Zhao's strength.
Wei Chongrong took Wei Zhao's hand and carefully wiped him with a clean handkerchief: "Dad, your hand is injured and bleeding a lot. It needs to be bandaged. Don't practice yet..."
Seeing Huo Qingyang's firm attitude and Wei Chongrong's sympathy, Wei Zhao hesitated and asked, "It's getting late, you are all hungry, let's go have lunch." .
Wei Chongrong happily took Wei Zhao's arm and said expectantly, "Dad, from tomorrow onwards, will I accompany you to practice the exercises?" Wei Zhao was a little anxious for success, so he had to keep an eye on it, lest he be too hasty and end up hurting him instead. body.
Wei Zhao had no objection, but solemnly said: "Follow me to practice, you are not allowed to complain." In Fuyu, due to limited conditions, Wei Zhao only taught Wei Chongrong the basic skills, and when he returned to Dayan, things happened one after another. He didn't even care about him, it was all Wei Chongrong's practice.
Wei Chongrong nodded hastily and said, "I'm not afraid of suffering, Daddy, don't worry." Huo Qingyang sniffed and expressed his envy. He also wanted to follow Wei Zhao. Unfortunately, Ji Xin said that Wei Zhao was in Dongcheng Camp before , After the body recovers, it will also go back there.
In the afternoon, Wei Zhao said that he was with Huo Qingyang, but instead of playing with him, he took out the military book to make up for him. Fighting such a thing is not just about being brave and good at fighting, but also being able to lead troops and command. It is not right to talk about troops on paper, but it is also impossible to talk about them.
Wei Chongrong followed, listening with relish. The lack of theory and system is not only Huo Qingyang's lack, but also his. After all, Weiyang asked him to enter the barracks, not expecting him to command the three armies, but thinking that there is a person of his own in the army, and he will not be deceived.
Huo Qingyang is also a diligent and inquisitive person. If it weren't for the fact that he only had one day off and had to return to the camp before dark, he didn't know when he would drag Wei Zhao to ask.
In the previous life, Huo Qingyang started as a soldier, went through hardships, and finally climbed to the position of a general. In this life, he was favored by Wei Zhao and Ji Xin early on, and Wei Chongrong had reason to believe that he would stand out earlier.
On the 23rd of October, the Queen's Thousand Autumn Festival, because it is not a full birthday, it is not necessary to hold a big banquet. Only a family banquet will be held in the Changqiu Hall of Weiyang Palace, and the whole family of Prince Weiming, Qin Wang Weizhao and Princess Yuankang will be invited to the banquet.
Wei Zhao had no errands at the moment, and Ji Wan sent someone to rush him, so he brought Wei Chongrong into the palace early. When they arrived, only Princess Yuankang arrived with her two daughters, the concubine Xie Bai and her son Xie Qiu did not arrive, and the whole family of the prince disappeared.
Wei Zhao knelt down in front of the empress and said respectfully, "My son sees his mother, and congratulates his mother on her blessings like the East Sea and a long life like Nanshan."
Wei Chongrong knelt down with Wei Zhao, imitating his movements and said, "Grandson sees the grandmother of the emperor, and congratulations to the grandmother of the emperor, as long as the waters of the East China Sea, and her longevity is not as long as that of Nanshan."
Ji Wan has always loved Wei Zhao, and although Wei Chongrong is not as much as Wei Xuan's brothers and sisters, she still loves the house and Wu a little bit. At this time, seeing their father and son singing together, they laughed from ear to ear, and hurriedly asked them to get up.
Afterwards, Wei Zhao bowed to Princess Yuankang and said, "Little brother has seen Huangjie."
Princess Yuankang received the half salute, and Fushen returned the salute: "Brother, please excuse the salute." Wei Zhao avoided the salute sideways, and also did not dare to accept the full salute.
After that, it was only when the nephew met his aunt, and the niece met his uncle. Wei Chongrong was once again dizzy by the cumbersome etiquette of the Dayan royal family. Would it be so complicated?
Princess Yuankang's eldest daughter, Xie Xiu, is only two years younger than Wei Zhao, and has not yet left the cabinet. Every time Princess Yuankang sees the queen, she complains that her daughter cannot marry. In fact, where is the princess' daughter worrying about getting married, it's just the person Xie Xiu likes, and she doesn't want to marry a wife, and she doesn't want to do it, so it's wasted until now. In Dayan, except for the princesses of the Wei family, there are very few women who still don't talk about their marriage after they are over twenty years old. No wonder Princess Yuankang is so anxious.
Who Xie Xiu married later, Wei Chongrong can't remember, he only knows that in the witchcraft incident, Xie Xiu lost his life in order to save the prince's only granddaughter, and that poor little girl was not in trouble after all. survive in.
Xie Xiu's younger sister, named Xie Xiang, is fourteen years old this year. She looks somewhat similar to her elder sister, but she is a little more childish and more charming.
Princess Yuankang and Wei Ming intend to get married and marry Xie Xiang to Wei Xuan, but Xie Xiu is not married, Xie Qiu is not married, this matter should not be publicized, so they did not officially get married, and plan to wait for another two years, brother Xie Xiang The marriage has been settled, and the two families will go through formal procedures.
Princess Yuankang's children are all grown up, and there are no grandchildren under her knees. Seeing Wei Chongrong's naive and romantic love, she hugged her into her arms and kissed her directly. Xie Xiang sat next to her mother and also thought that the fleshy little cousin was very funny, so she gently pinched the fleshy flesh on his face and had a great time.
Wei Chongrong dared not to speak, and wanted to ask Wei Zhao for help, only to find that he had been pulled by Xie Xiu to the window to speak, and he couldn't see himself at all, so he had to make faces at Xie Xiang to make her laugh and let her go as soon as possible. Own.
"Little uncle..." Because of their similar age, Xie Xiu played with Wei Zhao a lot when they were young. They were called uncle and nephew, but their actual relationship was similar to that of brother and sister. , and only called Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao nodded with a smile, stared at Xie Xiu, and said warmly, "Axiu, stay safe, you told me to come here, but have something to tell me?" Just by looking at Xie Xiu's expression, he knew that she had something to say.
Xie Xiu lowered his head and looked at the ground. After a long time, Fang raised his head and asked, "After returning to Beijing, has my uncle ever met King Yong'an?" After saying this, he lowered his head and didn't look at Wei Zhao again, as if he was a little scared.
Wei Zhao was a little stunned when he heard the words, and nodded subconsciously: "Naturally I have seen it before. Axiu, why did you suddenly ask about Prince Yong'an?" No matter whether the Duke of Song's mansion or the Marquis of Yichun's mansion, the relationship with Prince Yong'an's mansion can only be expressed as "Pingping". "Two words to describe.
Xie Xiu bit her lower lip, as if she mustered up her courage, and whispered: "Little uncle, can you ask him a question for me when you see King Yongan next time?" Her voice trembled slightly because of her nervousness, and her hands were even tighter. tightly twisted together.
"What? Speak slowly." Wei Zhao looked puzzled. Xie Xiu and Jiang Che, what relationship could they have, he really didn't understand.
Xie Xiu was silent. Seeing Wei Zhao staring straight at her, he said in a low, inaudible voice: "You help me ask King Yong An if he wants to marry a wife, can he consider Xie's Axiu first." Zhao's eyes and ears are smart, and he certainly couldn't understand the second half of her words.
"What did you say?" Wei Zhao was too frightened, suddenly raised the volume, and stammered: "Axiu, you, you..." Wei Zhao hesitated, but didn't say the next words.
The nearby palace servants followed the prestige. Wei Zhao didn't want to attract their attention, so he clenched his fist to his lips and pretended to cough twice.
Wei Zhao heard Princess Yuankang mention about Xie Xiu's refusal to marry, and gave him the opportunity to persuade Xie Xiu, but he didn't know the reason.
According to Princess Yuankang, she has always been lax on her children, let alone Xie Qiu, even sisters Xie Xiu and Xie Xiang were not brought up by her. Xie Xiu is stubborn. If she doesn't nod her head, Princess Yuankang doesn't dare to look for someone else, so she will marry her off. If Xie Xiu escapes from marriage, or if she can't think about it, it will not look good on both sides.
For the marriage of her eldest daughter, Princess Yuankang was heartbroken. She even promised Xie Xiu that as long as the person she liked was innocent and had no wife, no matter who she was, she would go to the emperor and fulfill her. .
Princess Yuankang's conditions were very broad. Even the princess of the Wei family did not have such freedom in marriage. Unexpectedly, Xie Xiu still refused to speak and say who she wanted to marry, so Princess Yuankang suspected that Xie Xiu was looking for a married man. Since the founding of the country, Dayan has been a princess, and there is no precedent for forcing people to stop their wives and remarry, not to mention that Xie Xiu is only the daughter of the princess. It was impossible for Princess Yuankang to marry her daughter to a man who did not even meet the conditions of "innocence and no wife", so Xie Xiu's marriage was stranded.
Hearing Xie Xiu's words suddenly, Wei Zhao almost doubted his ears, whether he heard it wrong. The person Xie Xiu wanted to marry turned out to be Jiang Che, which he never expected. But in this way, there is a good explanation for why Xie Xiu refused to tell Princess Yuankang.
Jiang Che is one of the only two kings with different surnames in the Dayan Dynasty. He is twenty-seven years old this year, and he has not yet married. He fully meets the conditions set by Princess Yuankang. There is only one point, Jiang Che's marriage is not something that Princess Yuankang can call the shots, or Wei Su's decree, it may not be useful.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Wei Su made the decree and Jiang Che had to disobey the decree, but unless the benefits of this marriage to the royal family can exceed the Yongan Palace itself, Wei Su can never be in a situation that Jiang Che is unwilling to do so. Next, forcibly give him a marriage, that is not a revenge.
Why Jiang Che refused to marry a wife, there are different opinions in Yujing City, some good and bad. It's not that Wei Zhao wasn't moved by Jiang Che's persistence, but they had already missed it. He didn't want Jiang Che to grow old alone, and he didn't want the Yongan Palace to have no successor.
Just let him ask Jiang Che when he wants to marry and what kind of woman he will marry. He really...
Seeing Wei Zhao's indecision, Xie Xiu said uncomfortably, "Is my uncle unwilling? But, but you and King Yongan...you, you are impossible..." Xie Xiu knew very well that someone who could make Jiang Che change his mind, Only Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao sighed silently and said solemnly, "Axiu, I can give you a message, but I can't decide the outcome." Although it wasn't his fault, between him and Jiang Che, the one who gave up the relationship first was the one who gave up the relationship. It was him, so he was the least qualified to say anything about Jiang Che's future.
Xie Xiu pursed her lips and smiled and said, "My uncle is willing to help, Axiu is very grateful, how dare you expect more." As long as Wei Zhao brings the words to her, she will be able to achieve what she wants.
"Axiu, what's the trouble with you?" Even though Jiang Che agreed to marry Xie Xiu, Wei Zhao didn't understand what she could get.
Xie Xiuneng has a deep-rooted love for Jiang Che, and he must have some understanding of his temperament, and Xie Xiu, who often went to the palace to play with him before he left for Fuyu, also knew about his past with Jiang Che. She really didn't mind Jiang Che. Does Che have someone in his heart who may never be replaced?
Xie Xiu stretched her brows and smiled lightly: "It's not me, it will be someone else. Instead, I'd rather be myself as the person beside him." She didn't want much, so she wouldn't regret it.
Wei Zhao frowned slightly, stared deeply at the sycamore leaves falling from the treetops outside the window, and did not speak again. Xie Xiu stood beside him silently, and did not say a word. In the depths of her dark eyes, there was a faint starlight shining.
Not far from them, Xie Xiang was amused by Wei Chongrong and laughed, but he still refused to let him go, and snatched him from Princess Yuankang's arms. Looking at the lively and cheerful little cousin, Wei Chongrong didn't dare to think about her future that he knew.
In all the materials Wei Chongrong read about the witch-gu incident, no one mentioned Xie Xiang's death or life, not at all. They even mentioned Xie Xiu's death, but they didn't mention Xie Xiang. But Wei Chongrong felt that for Xie Xiang at the time, death was the best ending, even if the guest died in a foreign country, no one knew. The husband's family was completely destroyed, the mother's family was destroyed, and the baby girl was thrown to death. Wei Chongrong really couldn't think of the meaning of life for Xie Xiang, who was unable to take revenge under such circumstances.
Fortunately, he and Wei Zhao are back. As long as Wei Ming and the Wei Zhao brothers join forces, those tragic stories will never be repeated. After all, Wei Ming and Wei Zhao are natural allies. If something happens to the prince, Wei Zhao can't get rid of it, and they must save themselves.
Xie Xiang had a good time, Wei Chongrong's resistance was ineffective, and he had given up on her will. At this moment, Wei Xuan came from the East Palace with her younger siblings.
Seeing that Xie Xiang was lost for a while, Wei Chongrong jumped up from her, suddenly jumped to the ground, ran to Wei Xuan and saluted, "I have seen King Linzi." Xie Xiang recovered and hurriedly followed.
According to Dayan practice, when the prince and the princess are ten years old, they can be crowned king or princess after passing the Yuan service ceremony. The difference between the grandson and the granddaughter depends on the title of their father. Take Wei Xuan and Wei Kou, for example, they are the eldest son and daughter of the crown prince. Yuanfu soon named King Linzi and Princess Yunmeng respectively. Another example is Wei Ruo, because he is the eldest son of Weixiao, King of Lu. Wei Xiao can ask for the title son for him; as for Wei Chongrong, because his "birth mother is unknown", he can only be regarded as a concubine. Unless he makes great achievements in the future, he will not be awarded a title.
Wei Xuan hurriedly called out, took her younger siblings to greet the queen and Princess Yuankang, and was then pulled aside by Xie Xiang to speak. The two were affectionate and warm, with no intention of avoiding suspicion. The Queen and Princess Yuankang didn't say anything when they saw it.
Wei Chongrong broke away from Xie Xiang's claws. It was the time when he was happy. When he saw Wei Kou, he hurriedly asked An Dao: "I have seen Yunmeng County Master." Compared with Xie Xiang, Wei Kou is a real lady, and Wei Chongrong is very Love this gentle cousin.
Wei Kou lifted Wei Chongrong with a smile, pulled out the two boys hiding behind him, and introduced, "Rong'er, these are my brothers Alan and Maoer, you can just call them the second and third brothers. "
Wei Chongrong shouted honestly, the older Wei Lan smiled reservedly with a arrogant expression, and the younger Wei Mao snorted with his nostrils, ignoring him at all.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Chongrong discovered the fact that he and Wei Zhao lived in the palace for two months. Wei Xuan and Wei Kou had been to Yongfu Palace several times, but Wei Lan and Wei Mao never came. However, the reason is not as Jun Feili said, Wei Lan and Wei Mao are naughty and will disturb Wei Zhao's recovery, but the two brothers seem to have obvious rejection towards him and possibly Wei Zhao. .
