Princess Consort Raising Children

Chapter 13 Good flowers, full moon, long life

The emperor gave the prime minister more than twenty pieces of Changle jade in various styles and fineness.

Wei Yi was reporting to the emperor about the taxation in the south, and when it was over, the emperor did not see any major reaction.

"See if there is anything you like among these." Situ Qi asked the eunuch Li Hecheng to hand over three drawers of jade for the prime minister to choose from.

Wei Yi looked at those jade stones, without any happy expression on his face, but looked at Situ Qi suspiciously: "Your Majesty, this is..."

"Last time, I saw that the prime minister liked Princess Wenyu's Chang Leyu. So I sent someone to Changle to find some of them, and made them into various shapes. Choose the one you like."

The emperor waited to see his joyful expression.It just seemed that the expression on Wei Yi's face became more and more dignified.

"Chen, I don't need these..." Wei Yi looked at the various shapes of jade, but his mouth became bitter.Situ Qi really didn't understand him.Fortunately, he still has him in his heart.

The look on Situ Qi's face was not good either. "I saw that you liked it so much that day. How come you don't like it after downloading it first. Or do you want to be the same as Wen Yu?"

There is a big one: the prime minister is still the only one who will refuse my reward.

Wei Yi knows Situ Qi's temper.So no more words of rejection.

He chose a reddish piece of Chang Leyu with a dragon totem pattern, and held it in his hand.

Although Situ Qi didn't see the face he wanted, luckily Wei Yi accepted it.For the rest, he didn't even look at them, and asked the eunuch Li Hecheng to send them back wherever he got them.

It's just pity for those jade craftsmen who can't close their eyes for several days and rush to work day and night.

A few days later, the emperor saw Prince Situ Yi who greeted him once a month.It was found that the red jade pendant was hanging on the prince's skirt.Situ Qi took a rare look at the prince a few more times, but in the end he still felt that it was not pleasing to the eye, so he walked up to the prince, took the piece of jade and looked back and forth.There is a line of small characters on it, which is the prime minister's handwriting.Weiyi's engraved calligraphy from Xiaowei is a masterpiece.

A neat and generous line of characters——

"Flowers are happy and the moon is long, people are long-lasting"

"Given by the prime minister?" the emperor asked the prince's nanny.

"One by one... here it is." The prince huddled in the nanny's arms, stretched out his hand, and was still brave enough to take back what Wei Yi gave him.

"..." Situ Qi just touched the warm ruby.Neither speak.

"Flowers-good...moon-round...people-long..." The prince suddenly read a sentence in a childish voice.

"What did he teach you?"

"One by one, one by one..." The prince would not say much.But he was able to read such a sentence so completely.

Situ Qi threw the jade to the prince and asked the nanny to take the child away.

He was the only one sitting on the big, empty chair.

Situ Qi remembered many years ago, when he and Wei Yi seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old...

The Mid-Autumn Festival of that year.The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet held by the father is very grand, and the whole palace is the most lively on the father's side.

That night, the most inconspicuous sixth prince and his companion, Wei Yi, sneaked out of the palace quietly disguised as little eunuchs.

Wei Yi is the eldest son of Prime Minister Wei Yushi, the speech official at that time.Live outside the palace so I am familiar with the outside of the palace.

Wei Yi didn't dare to run around with him, the two of them went out of the palace and changed into regular clothes, and ordered a table of meals in a restaurant in the capital.After eating and drinking enough, I followed the literati and elegant scholars and chartered a painting boat. Just the two of us, smelling the strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in the city, drinking sweet-scented osmanthus wine, watching the bright moon in the sky, swimming in the Fanshui River.The moon that day was the roundest that Situ Qi had ever seen in his life.

The sixth prince and the companion both drank too much that night.But he remembered that Wei Yi, who was still an unworldly young man at that time, put his face on his face at some point.His face was hot, and his breath smelled of sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

Wei Yi is kissing him.Carefully licking his lips, and gently licking with his tongue, made him stunned for a long time.

But it was quickly pushed away by the sober Sixth Prince.Wei Yi lost his footing and fell to the ground.

"Wei Yi, what are you doing!" The sixth prince was a little dizzy.But he knew he was a man, and so did Wei Yi.

The young boy who was pushed to the ground blushed, struggled to get up, looked at him a little lonely, then looked at the moon in the sky, and said softly with shining eyes: "Flowers are good, the moon is full, and people are happy." long……"

Then he knelt down in front of him and lowered his head: "The sixth prince, please forgive Wei Yi for his recklessness. Wei Yi is willing to be a cow or a horse for the prince in this life, and he will not hesitate to die."

"..."

It seems that Situ Qi also said a lot of ugly things that night, and finally came back disappointed.

It seems that since then, Wei Yi has never done anything out of bounds.But the innocent friendship between the two of them since they were young, seems to have stopped on that day.

After that, Situ Qi deliberately distanced himself from Wei Yi, and also changed to other companions.But Wei Yi has been silently following his footsteps.In the bloody battle for the throne a few years later, Wei Yi truly fulfilled the promise of spending the full moon night.Wei Yi killed his teacher and his brother-in-law.Several times, he almost risked his own life, but fortunately, he finally stood by Situ Qi's side and became his prime minister.It's just that the people in front of him always lowered their heads, and those eyes seemed to never face him squarely again.

On the full moon night at the age of 16, he was already the emperor, and the former sixth prince had been forgotten for a long time.

If it weren't for the words on this piece of jade, Situ Qi would have really forgotten that he and Wei Yi still had such an entanglement.

It’s just that in these years, the person who has been by his side since he was a child seems to have no other person except Wei Yi... I am used to this person’s breath, and I am used to this person standing in front of him with his head bowed and listening to him. If so, do things for him, then lower your head and tell him the result.Wei Yi is a person who looks very weak on the outside. He is not good at physical skills, and he gets sick every time... But it seems that there is really nothing he can't handle... For the past ten years, he has been the almighty Wei Yi, Situ Qi's Prime Minister Wei.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wei is waiting outside." Li Hecheng gently reminded the emperor who had been in a daze for half an hour and hadn't moved.

"Let him in, and you all back down."

……

"Wei Yi." Situ Qi hasn't called him that for a long time.

"The minister is here." Wei Yi lowered his head.look at the ground.

"Flowers are good, the moon is full, and people are long..." Situ Qi said these words with a smile, and then his face became a little cold: "The prime minister is so courageous, he gave you the jade that I gave you casually." Prince, why, do you want to engrave the absurd things you did ten years ago, to remind me, or to remind yourself?" Situ Qi did it on purpose.

really.Wei Yi knelt down on the ground.With a thud, Situ Qi's heart sank when the sound hit.

"The minister accepts the crime."

"Accept the crime. What are you guilty of?"

"..." Wei Yi said nothing.Just kneel.

In March, the ground is very ice.The emperor's study room was well heated, but the biting cold air quickly spread from his legs to his whole body.Perhaps the body was already cold, and the coldness might have spread from the heart instead of the legs.

In Wei Yi's heart, all these years, he has been looking forward to the fact that one day, Situ Qi will grant him death.

He likes this tall and cold-blooded man.I have liked it since I was a child.

More than ten years, nearly 20 years.When they met, both of them were only five or six years old. Wei Yi watched him change from an ignorant boy to a man who would do anything for power and results.

Maybe Situ Qi, who was innocent when he was a child, could still accept Wei Yi's deformed love, but he was still rejected.And after growing up, Wei Yi also understood that this relationship was doomed to be a knot from the very beginning.

On that night when the moon was full, Situ Qi's scolding, pushed away at once, as if his childhood dream was shattered.To follow Situ Qi to this day, Wei Yi himself thinks it is a miracle.Now it's just physically and mentally exhausting, and it's become a habit to be with this person.

I also know that this person is uncertain.Being able to stay here with him for many years and still survive.It was already a miracle... He didn't have any regrets in his heart.

"I just hope that the emperor will look at the three generations of loyal ministers in my family, so that I can find a good family for my little sister Wei Changqing." Wei Yi returned to his heart quite calm.Situ Qi once promised him that he would never embarrass his family.The only things Wei Yi cares about now are his old father and his newly grown younger sister.

"How about I accept her as my concubine tomorrow." Situ Qi walked to Wei Yi's side and squatted down.Look at the people kneeling on the ground.

"..." The man was trembling as expected.

……

"Get up. I'm just talking casually." Situ Qi knew that Wei Yi's health had been poor all these years, and he would be sick for a few days if he got cold or hot.I feel uncomfortable thinking about it. "Next time what I bestow on you, don't give it away casually. The prince can't give it away either. Do you understand?"

Wei Yi thought that Situ Qi was really going to accept his sister as a concubine, and was about to thank him, but when he heard Situ Qi change the subject, he seemed to be a different person, and felt much more relaxed.

"I obey the order." Wei Yi raised his head and saw that the emperor was still in front of him.I dare not get up.

Situ Qi had no choice but to stretch out his hand and pull him up.

"Stay here to drink with me at night. It takes a long time to spend a full moon. Today is the fifteenth day, and the winter jasmine flowers outside have bloomed for a while. It can be regarded as a peaceful scene..."

Situ Qi had a calm expression on his face.He seemed to be teasing Wei Yi before appreciating it.

"In the early court, you mentioned a few candidates for the new Tutor. I think some of them are very inappropriate. Don't just focus on family background, I want someone who is truly capable and dedicated to doing things." Situ Qi suddenly started to talk about business.The two turned into the appearance of a monarch and minister again.

"I understand." Wei Yi seemed to have not recovered from what happened just now.Situ Qi summoned him suddenly, and at the beginning he was talking about that jade, how did he know that he suddenly turned to state affairs, his mind was still buzzing... "Return to Your Majesty, it has been some years since the Queen's funeral, and the ministers of the court requested The emperor mostly thinks about the country, the country, and the re-opening of the draft, so that he can continue to have children for the royal family."

"Who is talking behind my back again? They have been banned from mentioning the concubine's appointment, and I will let you pass the word after learning?" Situ Qi was obviously unhappy: "The prime minister is going to tell the ministers who like to control me. , I already have a prince, if one day the prince becomes stupid, or the prince accidentally fails to inherit the great cause, then let their whole family come to be buried with us and Qingjiangshan..."

……

"Minister—obey the order."
