Chapter 10 Companion Reading
That's why when Wei Heming fell, he was so frightened.
Listening to Taoyuan's doctor, he came and went, and the man was lying on the bed, and his lifeless appearance made him panic.
"Sir, this is a heart disease, and there is no cure. ”
"Just look at the destiny of heaven, if Mr. can relax, maybe he can still ......"
He expelled the doctor and sat alone at the head of Wei Heming's bed for a night.
You turned me into such a person, forced into such a situation, but you looked innocent and wanted to leave, how could there be such a cheap thing.
Anyone in this world can die, but you can't—you owe me too much.
Thinking so, he clenched the pale hand of the man on the bed.
+++++++++++++++++++++Past life, present life++++++++++++++++++++++++
On the day when the palace wanted to choose a companion to read, Wei Heming had to take leave from the Guozi Supervisor and entered the palace with a face that hung his son.
Before going out, Wei Shangshu repeatedly advised: "Once you have made up your mind, you must not stand out in the palace, according to the position of our family, as long as you don't go out of line, eighty percent will not be selected, as long as you don't mess around......"
I said this upside down several times, and Wei Heming was dizzy when he heard it, and he sighed and joked to his father: "The son's biological mother died early, and it was really hard for the father, and he didn't say it when he was a father and a mother, and he even spoke like a mother, which really moved the son......"
Before he finished speaking, he was kicked out of the house by Wei Shangshu and thrown into the carriage entering the palace.
The royal selection companion reading is actually not much different from the draft girl, and the layers of inventory and assessment, from whether they are healthy or not to whether they are sane or not, and then ask about the background of the homework, and really brush down a lot of them.
Wei Heming thought about letting himself be brushed down directly in the first few levels, which would save him trouble in the back. But no matter how you think about it, you don't have a reason to be brushed down, and it is feasible to deliberately pretend to be sick, but if someone finds out, it will be a crime of deception.
It's really not easy to choose, and it's not easy to lose.
Wei Heming stood with a group of children of about the same age, listening to a eunuch explain to them repeatedly: "When you enter the hall, you must not look directly at the saint and the ladies and girls, answer whatever you ask, think twice before acting, do you understand?"
In fact, this group of children has also been instructed at home, and the eunuch said it again just in case, and a group of children responded with milky voices, and waited at the palace gate.
After waiting for a long time, Wei Heming only felt that he was a little dizzy from hunger, so he went to the palace gate before dawn, and in order to prevent being in a hurry in the palace, the children here did not use breakfast.
Other people's mothers will stuff some snacks and halva or something for their children to eat on the road, but Wei Heming, a big man, can't think of this, Liu didn't think about him at all, and Wei Yuyuan, a nerd, can't even think of it.
Wei Heming could only come hungry to be elected, and after being hungry for a long time, he let go, silently counting the "grunt" sound of his stomach in his heart.
When he had counted the twenty-fourth "Gollum-", the eunuch finally called out his name.
He walked into the hall in an orderly manner, used his afterglow to determine the identity of the people in the hall, shouted people to salute one after another, and felt dry after reading.
There is no way, it is rude to the biggest boss, Wei Heming still wants to shout in his heart: "I have seen all the mothers and princes, knock to see Your Majesty." "of.
However, this kind of abbreviation can only be said by the superior to the subordinate, such as: "Zhu Aiqing is flat." ”
In this hall, not only Chu Shen is there, but even Chu Fengge, the nominal prince, is also there.
But think about it, it's a royal line, and his father and grandfather are all loyal martyrs, even if the saint calculates in his heart to take away his knighthood and cut his fief, he must pretend to be kind on his face, and summon him to the palace to hang out if he has nothing to do, even if he shows his face to show his favor.
He was quickly called to his feet, and the emperor smiled and said, "This is the little Xie Yuanxuan of the Wei family, let me see what it looks like." ”
Wei Heming raised his head at this time, and his gaze was slightly downward to show that he was very disciplined.
Seeing this emperor again, Wei Heming was still quite emotional, after all, in his previous life, he was used to calling this person the first emperor - to be honest, he really didn't have any feelings for this first emperor, probably because he was biased towards Chu Shen at the beginning, and it was naturally difficult to have a good impression of this first emperor who ignored Chu Shen.
The favorite concubine beside the emperor echoed softly: "Xie Yuanlang's good appearance." ”
The emperor smiled and said: "His eyebrows and eyes are a little like Wei Qing, you don't know, Wei Qing was also handsome when he was young, and he was really called Fruit Throwing Car on the day he crossed the horse and paraded the street." ”
Wei Heming didn't speak, he just let others look at him, and there were two eyes that never left him - one was Chu Shen's, and the other was Chu Fengge's.
The emperor asked him a few more questions about learning, and the favorite concubine tried to the side: "If Your Majesty likes it, why don't you stay and let him be a few companions with Hong'er, wouldn't it give them an extra little master?"
The emperor smiled and revealed: "This is not good, I heard that he has just been admitted to the Guozijian, when he took the exam Xie Yuan, he was beaten by Wei Qing because of his insincerity in studying, if I let him give up his studies to accompany my son, I am afraid that in a few years, Jing Dynasty will have one more champion at the foot of the slope." ”
The favorite concubine understood the emperor's intentions, so she naturally went down the slope and did not mention it again.
Wei Heming knew very well in his heart that the Wei family had always taken the path of being a direct minister and a clear stream, and the emperor didn't want the Wei family to hook up with any of his sons.
If you hadn't been in the limelight in your previous life, you would have insisted on ......
"Your Majesty, the concubine has a reluctant request, and I hope Your Majesty will agree. ”
As soon as Wei Heming heard this voice, his nerves tensed.
Wang Cairen is Chu Shen's biological mother, from a humble background, not very favored, and even gave birth to Chu Shen, he only rose to the position of a talented person, and did not have the qualifications to raise his parents, Chu Shen has always been hung under the name of other concubines and grew up in ignorance.
In Wei Heming's memory, this Wang Cairen is really not sober-minded.
Like now.
"I saw that Shen'er had been looking at this child, presumably because of his eyes, Shen'er has been really lonely in the palace all these years, I want to beg Your Majesty to give this child to Shen'er as a companion. ”
Wang Cairen's words made everyone frown, not to mention that Chu Shen could not be regarded as her son for a long time, this remark implied that Chu Shen had been mistreated in the palace, and that he had treated the children of his courtiers as objects, and he actually gave them if he wanted to.
It's just that beating her is a matter of the future, and no one will do it on the spot now.
The emperor smiled, glanced at her thoughtfully, and called Chu Shen: "What do you say?"
Chu Shen had never come out in front of the emperor for many years, and his movements were still a little flustered, so he made a big salute and put on a warm smile: "Erchen went out of the palace to worship the Buddha the day before yesterday, and accidentally startled the horse and his subordinates to get separated, but it was Heming who saved me." It's just that I didn't know each other's identities that day, so I just took a few more looks. ”
The Emperor replied noncommittally and asked, "You want him to be your companion?"
Chu Shen said: "Erchen doesn't dare to be self-dictatorated. "I just want to, but it's hard to say it directly.
Only then did the emperor turn to Wei Heming and ask, "Is what he said true?"
Wei Heming said in his heart, and finally got back to this point.
He bowed down slowly, and replied with a respectful expression: "When he rescued His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince that day, Heming once said that he had no intention of repaying the favor, and His Highness didn't have to mind. Heming is not good at learning, and it is quite a fluke to get the middle solution, and now he is in the country's prison, and he is only willing to concentrate on learning, and he will not be full of straw in the future, and he will not be able to serve the country. ”
The emperor's attitude towards him was kinder than that towards Chu Shen, and he smiled and asked, "So, are you unwilling to be a companion?"
Wei Heming kowtowed: "I don't want to live up to His Highness's kindness." ”
Now there is no politeness anymore, every word is said clearly, and it is impossible to distinguish between them.
The atmosphere in the hall was tense to the extreme, Chu Shen was no longer favored, he was also a prince, few people dared to refuse him so directly, and his face was not very good-looking for a while.
The emperor laughed: "Sure enough, he is an interesting child, in this case, you will study well in the Guozijian, and I will wait to see you again when I take the palace exam." ”
Wei Heming kowtowed again: "Thank you." ”
Wei Heming said in his heart that in his previous life, he must have had his brain in water, so he had to be Chu Shen's companion, and now just today's emperor praised him with these words, which is enough for him to eat in most places outside the palace.
Wei Heming walked out of the main hall with ease, and he didn't feel hungry anymore, and it had been a while since he waited for the children behind him to finish facing the saint.
The eunuch who brought them again led them back.
The atmosphere is still a little different when it comes and when it goes, the children are obviously a little excited and a little low, the corners of the happy mouth can't help but turn up, and the low stool wilts and the head is like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Wei Heming didn't care, so he came and went freely, walked out of the palace gate, saw his car, and wanted to board the car without thinking about anything.
But I heard a voice from behind: "Wait!"
Wei Heming stopped moving, turned his head, and faced Chu Shen's complicated eyes.
He bowed calmly: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince." ”
Chu Shen pursed his lips, frowning tightly, he didn't know whether he was angry or low, his breathing was a little heavy, his chest was obviously a little undulating, thinking that he had run all the way.
Wei Heming didn't speak, just looked at his expression: he had rarely seen Chu Shen's expression in his previous life.
Chu Shen's warm and hearty mask seemed to be engraved on his face, and before he ascended the throne, he had always tried his best to hide his edge.
He hides it, and he pretends not to know.
And now that he doesn't hide it, he doesn't feel the difference.
It's still young, and the love is so obvious.
Wei Heming teased this old acquaintance in his previous life in his heart.
Chu Shen finally calmed down and questioned him:
"Why don't you want to be my companion?"
There was undisguised loss and unwillingness in those eyes.
