Rebirth of Glory and Splendour

Chapter 24: Enter the palace

Knowing that Wei Zhao refused to return to the palace, and took his son to live in the palace of Changning, Wei Su was expressionless, not as furious as Wei Ming was worried, but kept silent for a long time.

After a long while, Wei Su finally spoke calmly, and he asked Wei Ming to give Wei Zhao a message. That is, if he wants to go back to the palace, he can do it at any time, and he doesn't need to ask for an decree, but Yi Yin, he can never bring it back.

Wei Zhao naturally refused, and the situation became stalemate. Empress Ji knew that her youngest son had returned to Beijing, but she was so anxious that she could not see anyone, so she sent someone to the Changning Palace every two days, either to deliver something or to pass on a message.

Wei Ming knew that he could not persuade his younger brother to do more useless work. Princess Yuankang didn't believe in evil, so she personally went to the Changning palace twice, trying to persuade Wei Zhao not to confront the emperor, because Wei Su's temperament can only be soft and not hard.

It's a pity that Wei Zhao didn't listen, and let Princess Yuankang almost drool, only saying: "I don't need to say more, Huangjie, how to deal with this matter, the younger brother has his own opinion, please forgive me."

Princess Yuankang is the eldest daughter of Wei Su, nineteen years older than Wei Zhao, and the two are called sisters and brothers, but Princess Yuankang always treats her younger brother the same as her own children, and her eldest daughter is also more Wei Zhao was no more than two years younger, and the two played together when they were young.

Seeing that Wei Zhao's oil and salt did not enter, she made up her mind to fight against Wei Su to the end. Princess Yuankang couldn't help sighing: "Azhao, father, father and father, he is both a father and an emperor. No matter how much he loves you, there is a limit."

The Wei royal family has always paid attention to bloodline and family status. The queens, high-ranking concubines, and servants of all dynasties are all high-class children from aristocratic families. If the birth mother of the prince and grandson is too low to be on the table, it is recorded as mother on the jade plate. There are also unknowns, which are not uncommon.

If Yi Yin was an illegitimate child in the usual sense, born to Wei Zhao and a commoner woman, Wei Su would not have denied him, but he was just a concubine grandson who could be afforded by the royal family. dispatched.

However, Yi Yin's background is well known, and it was not his fault that Wei Zhao was caught. Except for King's Landing, who can be undefeated in his life, even Ji Qing, and when the gutter capsized, Wei Su was not unreasonable to this extent. It is unacceptable that the son's defeat is not caused by subjective reasons. What really made Wei Su angry was that Wei Zhao gave birth to a son for Helian Zhuo. No matter whether Wei Zhao was forced or not, Wei Su felt that this was intolerable.

If Wei Zhao left the child in Fuyu, he could still pretend he didn't know. Who would have thought that Wei Zhao was so daring and dared to bring the child back. Isn't this a rumor that has been circulating for many years?

Knowing that Princess Yuankang really cared about herself, Wei Zhao said softly: "The imperial sister has always loved me, how can I not appreciate it, but A Yin, he is really important to me, and I don't want him to be invisible to me. The place grew up quietly, and then had nothing to do with me."

Princess Yuankang was silent when she heard the words. Indeed, Yi Yin was too young, only four years old now. If he left Wei Zhao now and was placed in another place, he would definitely not remember him when he grew up, let alone the affection between father and son. Just vanished.

Seeing that his sister didn't speak, Wei Zhao seemed to be thinking, and said again and again: "Sister Huang, you can leave this matter alone, and brother Huang, too, the father and the emperor will not listen to you, if this makes him angry with you, how can it be? Not my fault."

Princess Yuankang said with a gentle smile, "You are the youngest brother. The prince and I don't love you, so who else can we love?"

"Isn't there Wei Shi?" Below Wei Zhao, there was the Fifth Prince, Wei Shi, who was fourteen years younger than him.

Princess Yuankang snorted coldly, obviously not taking the younger brother to heart. Mrs. Li died, Concubine Yun passed away, and Wei Shi had nothing to rely on, and that was it.

It was getting late, and the sister and brother were gossiping a few times, and Princess Yuankang left, saying that she would come to see him another day.

After watching Princess Yuankang leave the courtyard, Yi Yin pushed open Wei Zhao's door and ran in lightly.

"Dad, are we going to separate in the future?" To be honest, before arriving in Yujing, Yi Yin never thought about this possibility.

But thinking about it carefully, he feels that the result is not bad. If he stays in Yujing, he can imagine how embarrassing his identity is. It is better to remain anonymous and live the life of ordinary people. If there is a chance, he can also go to the capital. Visit Wei Zhao.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his sentence, he heard Wei Zhao urgently say, "A Yin, who did you listen to, who said we were going to separate?"

Yi Yin blinked and said blankly: "The prince's uncle and the princess' aunt said this..." You never avoid me when you talk, so I know it's not surprising.

Wei Zhao took Yi Yin into his arms, looked him in the eyes, and said sternly, "Don't listen to their nonsense! No one can take you away from me, no one can!"

Seeing Wei Zhao's stern expression, Yi Yin felt apologetic in his heart. He tilted his head and buried his face on Wei Zhao's shoulder. He was still thinking that he would be free if he left the capital, but he never thought that Wei Zhao would be so reluctant to let him go, and I was really sorry for him.

Wei Zhao thought that his tone was too severe to frighten Yi Yin, so he patted his back and said warmly, "Don't be afraid, A Yin, we will always be together."

If there are other things, he can be soft in front of the father, but this is not the case, if he takes a step back, Wei Su can hide his son for him in the sky, and whether he can see it in the future is entirely up to God's will.

On this day, the weather was gloomy, with dark clouds in the sky, and a torrential downpour was about to blow.

Yi Yin was sitting by the flower bed, staring at the low-flying dragonfly and the moving ants, Wei Zhao walked up to him and said, "A Yin, Daddy has something to go to the palace, you are in the mansion, be obedient, remember to be on time. Eat and sleep, you know?"

Yi Yin turned around and nodded subconsciously: "Oh, I see." It doesn't matter if he remembers it or not, as long as the maids in the palace remember it, but why did Wei Zhao want to enter the palace? Don't want him anymore? impossible. Intercede for him? no chance.

After receiving Yiyin's answer, Wei Zhao instructed the maid in the yard again, and then went out. He didn't tell Yiyin why he entered the palace.

Wei Zhao won't be hindered by anything when he enters the palace, but the palace people are amazed when they see the fourth prince who has been missing for many years. Wei Zhao arrived at the Zichen Palace and asked to face the Holy Spirit, and Wei Su ordered him to be brought to the front of the Xuanshi Palace. Xuanshi Hall is one of the first six halls of Zichen Palace. It is located on the left side of Zhengyi Hall and behind Yanming Hall. Wei Su's study is set up here.

Wei Su asked someone to ask Wei Zhao, but after thinking about it, he is busy now and doesn't have time to see him. If he thinks about it, he will go back to Yongfu Palace directly. The place will be reserved for him and someone will clean it every day. Go out of the palace.

Wei Zhao couldn't see Wei Su and felt unwilling, so he couldn't afford to kneel in front of the Xuanshi Hall. Wei Su heard the news and didn't say a word.

The Queen's Weiyang Palace was just behind the Zichen Palace. The news that Wei Zhao entered the palace and knelt in front of the palace because he couldn't see the emperor quickly spread to the queen.

Ji Wan hadn't seen her son for six years, how could she not feel distressed, and went to the Xuan Shi Palace to intercede with Wei Zhao in person, but was scolded by Wei Su, saying that the harem had no reason and was not allowed to step into the important halls of the court.

Indeed, there is such a rule in Dayan's palace rules. Unless it is the regent's queen mother, no one in the harem, including the queen, can enter the main hall of the former dynasty except on the day when the queen is conferred.

Theoretically speaking, the first six halls of Zichen Palace are all the main halls, but in practice, only the Yuanyi Hall where the big court is held and the Zhengyi Hall where the small court is held are the only ones that strictly abide by this rule. , many concubines have officially entered.

As for the four side halls, namely Yanming Hall, Zhining Hall, Xuanshi Hall and Greenhouse Hall, no one pays any attention. For example, Emperor Xuanzong and Emperor Xianzong always have the queen to accompany the imperial study when they handle political affairs, and no one dares to stand up. Said that Queen Xiao and Queen Xie did something wrong.

Therefore, it was really not a big deal for Ji Wan to enter the Xuanshi Hall. Even if she never asked about political affairs, she could not say that she had never been there before. Wei Su said that she violated the palace rules, but in fact she didn't want anyone to speak for Wei Zhao.

Seeing Ji Wan's pale face and lingering sadness between her brows, Wei Su said indifferently: "The emperor breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. Even though you are the queen, you cannot go unpunished for breaking the palace rules. Nian'er is the first offender, so I will punish you to think behind closed doors for three days. ."

Ji Wan looked at Wei Su quietly, and said after a while, "I thank your majesty for your grace." Her eyes were like an ancient well, calm and unwavering.

Wei Zhao was not unaware that the queen came in a hurry, and then left in a hurry, but he kept his head down, never looked at the queen, and never said a word to her.

Later, Wei Ming got the news and hurried to Xuan Shi Hall. He first looked at Wei Zhao, who was kneeling upright in front of the hall, and then looked at the cloudy sky that was about to come. He couldn't help stamping his feet, and went straight in without waiting for the summons.

It is said that the emperor and the prince are at odds, but in matters other than political affairs, Wei Su has always been very tolerant to Wei Ming.

But today, Wei Ming was very rarely scolded by Wei Su. Needless to say, the reason is naturally the emperor's anger.

It was not good for Wei Zhao to enter the palace one day, but today, when Wei Su didn't see him, he couldn't get up on his knees. Wei Su hated being threatened the most, and it was strange that he didn't get violent.

Wei Su knew in his heart that as long as he didn't see Wei Zhao, he would be cruel. But if he sees him, and sees the face that looks exactly like that person, all his persistence will be meaningless.

Yi Yin is not an ordinary child. His existence is a disgrace to the entire Dayan Dynasty. He cannot recognize him, absolutely not.

The emperor was tired of scolding, and sat on the chair gasping for breath. He asked the prince to go out first, saying that he did not want to see him for the time being. Wei Ming had no choice but to retire.

The sky was getting cloudy and the air was so humid that it seemed like water was about to be squeezed out, but the rain just couldn't fall, making it even more annoying.

Xuanshi Hall is a side hall. In addition to the imperial study room, there are also places for the emperor to rest, but it is usually for lunch breaks and naps, not for the night. If the emperor did not go to the palaces of concubines and servants, he would usually spend the night in Chengqian Palace, Changhe Palace and Yongxing Palace.

Wei Zhao was kneeling in front of the Xuanshi Hall. If Wei Su wanted to go out, it was impossible not to see him. Of course, the Xuanshi Palace has a back door for the palace people to enter and exit, but no one dared to say the words that let the emperor go through the back door.

Wei Su sat up several times, and finally said, "Forget it, let's rest here tonight." He seemed to have forgotten that he still had a choice, which was to have Wei Zhao be forcibly pulled away.
