Princess Consort Raising Children

Chapter 27 3, Fireworks, Little Reunion

As soon as Wei finished drinking the medicine, she sat blankly for a while with her eyes closed.He lowered his head and took which pot he had scalded the already cold flagon, filled it up by himself, and drank it with his head raised.

The bitter taste in his mouth was diluted by the taste of wine, and he was about to fill up the second cup after drinking one cup, when Wei Yi heard the prince's soft and small voice: "One by one, one by one..."

Wei Yi spilled half of his wine and raised his head abruptly.

"Prince... Your Majesty... what are you doing?" Wei Yi felt that he was dreaming.Otherwise, why would these two people appear in his deserted prime minister's mansion at this time...

Maybe it was because he hadn't seen Wei Yi for so long, the prince was a little scared, usually the child would run to Wei Yi from a long distance to be hugged by him.

Wei Yi didn't know what was going on, but felt that the wine and medicine he just drank were rolling in his stomach and felt uncomfortable.If you want to stand up to meet the driver, who knows, when you get up, you will sit back again, and your face will be as white as you want.

"One by one, one by one..." The prince saw that Wei Yi was not feeling well, so he broke free from Situ Qi's hand, and finally ran over at a trot, hugging Wei Yi's waist.In the winter, the prince was wearing thick clothes, like a small yellow ball, and he ran over little by little, and when he hugged him, he was limp, with half of his face tightly attached to Wei Yi's body.

"One by one, one by one, you haven't come to see me for a long time, are you sick... Emperor Father brought the imperial physician to show you."

Wei smiled happily when he saw the prince.

"Long time no see, the prince has grown taller again..."

"One by one, one by one, I miss you..."

……

Situ Qi at the door looked at the prime minister who hadn't seen him for a long time. He was wearing a plain coat for the New Year. He didn't know if the clothes were too big or he was thinner. No matter how he looked, he felt a lot haggard.

"The prince usually doesn't say a word in the palace, but he is more lively when he sees you." Situ Qi motioned Li Hecheng to take off his black leather jacket, and ordered, "Let the imperial doctor Wang come in."

"Hey." Li Hecheng raised his eyes to look at Wei Yi and the prince, retreated with a smile, and closed the door behind him.

"The guilty minister didn't know that the emperor came here. The minister accepts the crime." Wei Yi stood up and wanted to kneel down.

Situ Qi shook his hand and said casually: "Come on, you have enough crimes, you don't care about adding this one. It's Chinese New Year, why is your house so quiet, servant..."

Situ Qi sat next to Wei, took Wei Yi's chopsticks, and began to eat the dishes on the table.

"These are cold, I will serve them after they are warmed up, because eating cold will hurt your stomach." Wei Yi grabbed Situ Qi's hand, wanting to stop it.

"I'm hungry. I'm going to spend the New Year with the prince tonight. This little guy refuses to eat. He said he wants to see you. I can only bring him here."

Hearing this, the crown prince became unhappy, and quickly argued: "Yi Yi, that's not the case..." Suddenly finding his own father staring at him fiercely, he immediately buried his head in Wei Yi's clothes.not talking anymore.

Soon Li Hecheng sent someone in and asked if he wanted to redo it. Situ Qi only said that he was hungry, so he asked the palace servants to take out all the food and heat it up before sending it back. Two more bowls and chopsticks were added.

Doctor Wang came in and gave Wei a pulse. He only said that drinking medicine on an empty stomach stimulated the stomach. He simply gave Wei Yi a few needles in the tiger's mouth on his left and right hands. The discomfort in Wei Yi's stomach disappeared and he felt hungry.

"You look like you're about to vomit. I thought the prime minister was pregnant." Situ Qi seemed to be in a good mood. Li Hecheng and the imperial physician were both in the room, so he joked about Wei Yi.

Finally, everything that had to go was gone, and Wei Yi was able to eat well, and the food was always hot.The prince happily sat on Wei Yi's lap, and he would eat whatever Wei Yi gave him.The little boy's face was flushed and his mouth was greasy.Wei Yi carefully divided the food into small pieces before putting them into the prince's small bowl. This child is not very stable with chopsticks at such a young age, and his fleshy little hands hold them low, bit by bit. When it was in his mouth, every time he took a bite, he would turn his head to Wei Yi with a cheerful smile and say, "Yi Yi, this is delicious, you can eat it too...

The two of them were in charge of serving food and the other in charge of eating. They were so busy that they completely ignored the real dragon emperor next to him.

Situ Qi poured wine by himself, drank it by himself, and ate food by himself. No matter what, he felt that he ate so much that he wanted to eat at a different table from that little man.The emperor didn't feel that the food in his mouth was very delicious, but the small one seemed to be eating some delicious food in the world.

On weekdays, the food in the palace is several streets away from the prime minister's mansion, and I have never seen him so happy and ecstatic when eating with the prince.

Wei Yi picked up the most tender salt and pepper short ribs, wrapped the protruding bones with a handkerchief, let the prince hold it in his hand, and gnawed slowly.The prince's little hand was about to grab it when he accidentally caught sight of his father who was sitting and staring at him.

Come on, why does he look so pitiful again?

The prince grabbed the spare ribs, didn't eat them himself, and handed them to Situ Qi: "Father, do you want to eat?"

Situ Qi tilted his head, and leaned closer to the prince for a closer look.He reached out to take it and tasted it.

It seems to be better than the one on the table.

……

Wei Yi took a few casual bites and was full.After the prince finished his staple food, Li Hecheng brought the osmanthus honey water that the prince drank every day.Holding the small bowl, the prince gulped it all by himself, turned to look at Wei Yi, then kissed Wei Yi's mouth with sweet honey juice sticking to his mouth.

Wei Yi never thought that the crown prince would kiss him.His face was flushed red, he licked his lips sweetly, and took the child to kiss him on the cheek.

"You two think I'm dead..." Situ Qi looked at the two people more like a father and son.He complained casually.

The movements of the two men were stiff.

"Sinner—"

It's the minister who is guilty again, and you are so happy to repay the kiss if you are guilty!Situ Qi slandered and waved his hands: "Go ahead, ignore me..."

"minister--"

"Don't be a minister, eat well, and there are other things..."

"According to the purpose..."

The three of them had enough to eat and drink, and the other thing Situ Qi said was that he was going to enjoy the snow in the courtyard of the general's mansion.

At night, to enjoy the snow, it is dark outside, and I don't know what can be seen.

But even if the emperor wanted to demolish the prime minister's mansion, Wei Yi could only do so.So he put on a thick padded jacket for the prince, hugged him in his arms and went out.

The prince ate too much, he closed his eyes in a daze to sleep, but when he got out of the warm room and was blown by the cold wind, he became refreshed, with big eyes, he looked at Wei Yi, and then at his father beside him .

The black hairdresser that the father wore before is now draped over Yiyi's body, and the father has changed into a thinner cloak, and is looking up at the night sky with his head up.

At this time, the guards in the yard blew out the candles in the lanterns, and there seemed to be a special smell in the air...

The prince was a little scared and excited, and looked at the sky with his mouth half open.

Suddenly, there was a loud "pa——" sound, which scared the child straight into Wei Yi's arms. He only felt that there was something very bright behind him, so he boldly turned his head to take a look.I saw a big red flower suddenly blooming in the dark night sky.So big, so big, the night was dyed red.

"One by one, one by one..." The prince opened his mouth even wider, looking at the sky, he wanted to ask Wei Yi what's wrong.

The big red flower gradually blooms, the biggest, then slowly dissipates, and then another yellow flower blooms in the sky, then green, blue, purple... I haven't heard the rumbling sound, don't I couldn't hear anything, and my eyes were filled with all kinds of flowers.Very beautiful.

The prince was overjoyed and clapped his hands, very happy.

Wei hugged the child very tightly.Looking at the fireworks in the sky, and the happy prince, my heart is almost overflowing.

Secretly went to see Situ Qi.That person didn't look at the fireworks either, he was looking at him...

The fireworks that bloomed in the snowy night lasted for a long time, the prince's neck was sore, he moved his head to rest, clapped his hands and looked at the sky, when the fireworks were over, the prince had a good time, but it didn't take long He drooped his head and fell asleep leaning against Wei Yi's arms.Extremely fast.

"It was originally the fireworks prepared for the prince's birthday, but I have made up for it today."

"The first generation of prince Wei thanked the emperor."

"Like it?

"The prince is asleep..."

"I'm asking you."

"……like."

……

All of a sudden, Li Hecheng on the side glanced at each other, and the guards in the yard disappeared silently.

Situ Qi turned around, raised Wei Yi's chin, and asked with an unclear smile: "Prime Minister, do you know that you made a mistake?"

"I know." Wei Yi knew that he couldn't escape.

"Then let's hear it. What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't have any unreasonable thoughts about the emperor."

"anything else?"

"minister--"

"You shouldn't have pierced the window paper. I'm so forced to get rid of you." Situ Qi put down his hands, the playful smile in his eyes was less and more angry.

"I am willing." Wei Yi hugged the sleeping prince and knelt down.Situ Qi didn't stop him.

"I'll give you two choices. You will be demoted to the common people, exiled to northern Xinjiang, and you will never be allowed to enter Beijing. I promised you that you won't embarrass your sister. Or...continue to be my prime minister, just to get rid of those thoughts in your heart. "Situ Qi looked down at the kneeling man.I don't know why, but my heart is faint and panicked.

The ground in the corridor was cold, but Da'ao was warm and didn't feel uncomfortable.Wei Yi laughed miserably, already having an answer in his heart.

He wanted to seek death, but Situ Qi threatened him with the crown prince.Situ Qi brought the prince to see him on New Year's Eve, set off fireworks, and made the prince happy, but it was just for him to see.

Now the Taiwei in the court has sole power, and Situ Qi doesn't even have a single person who sincerely helps him.Maybe it's really time of last resort, otherwise, he wouldn't have come to him.Or, Situ Qi just thinks it's too boring to be alone, and he still likes the days with him...

"I'm not in a hurry to get your answer." Situ Qi pulled Wei Yi up and teased the sleeping prince's face on Wei Yi's shoulder. "This little thing, when you were not around, was deeper than me, and only in front of you, he still looks like a normal child..."

"Wei Yi is willing to serve the emperor's prince all his life, until he dies..." Wei Yi knelt down again after hearing this, his voice was silent, full of exhaustion.It seems that Situ Qi still wants him to grow up with the prince.

"You don't regret it? It's impossible for me to be the first to make you the queen." Situ Qi's voice came from above.

"I... have never had such an unreasonable thought, I only asked about the emperor—"

"...what's the matter?"

"Mid-autumn night, knowing that I have tampered with the wine, why did I drink it?"

"...You won't harm me."

"...Chen... die without regret..."

……

"The crown prince stays in the prime minister's mansion. It's good to make him happy for the new year. Send someone to take care of the crown prince, and the imperial doctor Wang also stays. Running around the palace is tiring. Go back to the palace." Situ Qi turned in another direction. He raised his voice and said a few words.Li Hecheng came out from the darkness, lowered his head after listening, raised his head, and shouted: "Get up and go back to the palace——"

Guards from all directions rushed out holding lanterns, and Situ Qi walked into the snow alone.

He didn't even look at the person who was still kneeling.

Everyone walked away, Wei Yi looked up and saw Li Hecheng still standing beside him.It was only then that I realized that I was still wearing the emperor's coat, and hurriedly loosened the ribbon with one hand, and handed it over: "Trouble me, father-in-law..."

"...These are two pieces of black fox fur that the emperor just hunted a few days ago. The Ministry of Internal Affairs rushed to make them. They were made according to your size..." Li Hecheng secretly looked at Wei Yi's expression .

Sure enough, the man's face was a little surprised, and then he just touched the leather jacket and was slightly dazed.

"Today's fireworks, ten days ago, the emperor suddenly ordered the people below to do it. It took seven or eight days to build the fort, and it was almost impossible to catch up with the snow these days..." Li Hecheng sighed and said: "It's not that the emperor has no affection for you in his heart. Even Pan Shi is sometimes moved, but the emperor is used to being deserted, and..."

"Elder-in-law...don't comfort me. In matters of relationship, after all, it's useless if one person burns them hard..." Wei Yi knew Situ Qi too well.Both of them fell silent, as if the sound of snowflakes falling to the ground could be heard clearly. "Eunuch, let's go back, the road is slippery in the snow... The prince has been outside for a long time, and he is afraid of freezing..."

……

No matter how beautiful the fireworks are, they are only fleeting.There will always be something to illuminate the darkness, but after being bright and lively, it looks even more lonely.
