Chapter 156: Quartet
After Chai Qi finished his instructions, he left without looking back.
"Auntie......" auspicious eyes stared at Chai Qi's distant figure with tearful eyes, muttering, full of reluctance.
"The emperor is already looking at Beiguan, and the boundary of Beizheng is dangerous, please Miss Chai to protect her for the sake of the same door." Jing Yan couldn't help but say loudly.
Chai Qi's footsteps stagnated and stopped.
Her original intention was to go to Kunlun Mountain to see her master first, and then go to Beizheng to help Yu Wenrui. But this thought was said by Jing Yan, but it was not fun.
Chai Qi said coldly: "Where do you want to go, I will go, and I don't have to work with the Queen Mother to arrange it." The Queen Mother should think more about how to take care of auspiciousness! β
After that, her figure flickered and she was gone.
The corners of Jing Yan's lips were hooked, and he didn't feel funny in his heart. She knew that Chai Qi had promised to protect Yu Wenrui. It's justβ
The woman of the Yuwen family, awkward, is really ...... Quite like that.
Auspiciousness is naturally sad. Jing Yan coaxed her, and ordered the nurse to bring Yu Wenkai, and the sister and brother played together.
Jing Yan took the opportunity to teach Jixiang to "act like a big child and set an example for his younger brother". One is auspicious and sensible, and the other is Yuwen Kai, who is as cute as a white and fat dumpling, and her attention is gradually diverted.
Jing Yan quietly looked at the sisters and brothers who were playing together, and felt more and more that it was really a wise move for Yu Wenrui to carry Yu Wenkai to the palace to raise him that day. Otherwise, Jixiang grew up alone and had no brothers and sisters, which is really pitiful.
Perhaps, this can make up for Yu Wenrui's lack of siblings when he was a child, right?
At that time, although she was accompanied by Jing Jiayue, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, she and Yu Wenrui could not be separated from the love of the monarch and minister, not the love of blood. If Yu Wenrui had brothers and sisters of the same age to play and study together, wouldn't he have put all his attention on himself?
Jing Yan thought so, and couldn't help but feel melancholy-
After all, I have no experience in raising children!
However, with a carefree lesson, upbringing auspiciousness will be much more handy. Thinking of this, Jing Yan couldn't help but feel a little guilty about Yu Wenrui.
In fact, in the past ten years, she has been so good to Yu Wenrui that she couldn't be better. However, in her heart, her carefree is the best, and she deserves the best, for example, she should have the best person to accompany her through this life, and she should not be so fond of herself that she can't extricate herself.
This is the mentality of a mother, who only thinks that her children are the best. But what if Zhenyu Wenrui is standing next to someone else?
Jing Yan tried to think about it, but just thinking about it, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, what kind of contradiction is she in her heart?
Don't want to!
"Call my sister!"
An auspicious voice interrupted Jing Yan's thoughts, and the interaction between the two children, one older and one younger, attracted her attention.
I saw Jixiang's little hand propped up on the couch, and the other hand gently pinched Yu Wenkai's little face, his eyes were shining, full of eager expectations.
Yu Wenkai sat on the couch with his two little legs crossed, his pure black eyes staring at Jixiang's face in a daze, blinking, and then, "poof" two crisp sounds.
Ji Xiang was slightly stunned, and then laughed.
It turned out that Yu Wenkai pursed his lips and spit out two loud bubbles. The bubble burst in an instant, and Yu Wenkai probably thought it was funny, and laughed "Gegege" at the time.
"Little badass! Don't call me sister, and spit bubbles at me! Jixiang grinned, "Me too!" β
As she spoke, she also made two crunchy sounds.
Yu Wenkai showed a surprised expression at first, and then laughed again.
Jing Yan took this scene into his eyes. Jixiang can be happy, she feels happy. Yuwen Kai has also become a special storage zΓ i.
Because of this special storage zΓ i, Jing Yan decided to treat Yuwen Keqin and Yuwen Kejian brothers differently. Putting aside the fact that Yuwen Keqin is Yuwen Kai's biological father, Yuwen Keqin is loyal, and he has always been good friends with the emperor, and King Xiang and Yuwen Kejian are obviously not all the way.
Because Yuwen Kai is Yuwen Keqin's parent after all, so when he was adopted into the palace, Yuwen Rui was extraordinarily gracious, and on the first and fifteenth days of each month, Yuwen Keqin and his main room Zhou can enter the palace to visit. It stands to reason that Yu Wenkai will be the heir of King Xianyi in the future, and then he will be implicated in the palace of the prime minister, which is not very consistent with the etiquette law. But Yu Wenrui still couldn't bear to treat Yuwen Keqin harshly, so he was gracious.
The second day was exactly the fifteenth, and soon after the early dynasty dispersed, Yuwen Keqin entered the palace. However, he was the only one who came.
He gave Jing Yan a salute and explained that the Zhou family was sick, so he couldn't enter the palace today to ask the Queen Mother for peace.
These words sound high-sounding, and those who are clear-eyed don't know that Yuwen Kai is not from the Zhou family. Zhou's responsibility is just the status of a mother-in-law, how can he be as concerned as a parent?
Jing Yan smiled slightly, did not pierce it, and asked him with concern if he wanted the offering of the Tai Hospital to check Zhou's pulse.
Yuwen Keqin naturally declined.
"How is Uncle Xiangwang lately?" Jing Yan was not verbose, and asked bluntly.
"Empress Dowager Lao is worried, and my father is well." Yuwen Keqin also felt a headache when he thought of his unreliable father, but he always had to say it in person.
"It's fine." Jing Yan smiled meaningfully.
No matter how loyal Yuwen Keqin was, he heard that something was wrong with this, and he was secretly shocked.
At this time, the nurse hugged Yu Wenkai.
The so-called father and son nature, Yuwen Keqin saw the tiger head and tiger brain portrait of himself in the nurse's arms, so he couldn't help but get closer and wanted to hug him into his arms.
didn't think that Yu Wenkai would not give him face, so he twisted his little body and nested back into the nurse's arms, and buried his little face on the nurse's shoulder by the way.
The little baby has no memory, and he has been raised by Jing Yan's side all day long, and he has long regarded his biological father as a stranger, and it is normal for people to be born. Yuwen Keqin was very uncomfortable in his heart, and he tried to get closer, but as a result, children are very sensitive to strange breaths, and strangeness in their eyes means danger-
The corners of Yu Wenkai's mouth drooped, he sobbed twice, and then he cried like a storm.
Yuwen Keqin's two hands were still stuck in the air, and he felt a lot of injuries.
The nurse holding Yu Wenkai saw the scene in front of her, and she also felt embarrassed, and a little panicked at a loss, and couldn't help but glance at Jing Yan.
Jing Yan quietly waved away the nurse.
Seeing his biological son being taken away and crying non-stop, Yuwen Keqin was very reluctant. He sat back in his place, his face still hard to hide.
Jing Yan said unhurriedly: "When the prince came last time, Kai'er was asleep. Children will always recognize each other if they haven't seen each other for a long time. β
Seeing Yuwen Keqin's face stiffened, Jing Yan changed his words and said: "Kai'er is the son of the prince in the end, and he wants to become the heir of King Xianyi." He and Fei'er are brothers again, and in the future, the two brothers will be kings and ministers in the same palace, and the face of the prince will also be more brilliant. β
Yu Wenfei is the eldest son of the prince of Xiangwang, and will inherit the title of Xiangwang in the name of the Huihui; And Yu Wenkai will inherit the title of King Yi. In this way, the two princes are both from Yuwen Keqin, and I wonder who will be more noble than him in addition to the emperor in the Great Zhou?
was broken by the Queen Mother, Yuwen Keqin was stunned, and his face couldn't help but reveal a little relief.
Jing Yan said again: "The prince is so glorious, and the emperor is very gracious enough to allow the prince to enter the palace to visit Kai'er from time to time, and the prince should be grateful in his heart." β
Yuwen Keqin said solemnly: "Your Majesty's affection for the minister's monarch and minister, brother and sister, the minister's affection is in the heart!" β
Monarchs and ministers are righteous, and brothers and sisters are private feelings, all of which are grateful.
Jing Yan nodded and said: "The people who love the son of the world also know it. β
As she spoke, she looked directly at Yuwen Keqin and pushed a folded letter to him, "The mourning family has a difficult matter at this moment, and I want to ask the prince to help one or two." β
The queen mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even the emperor was raised by her own hands, what can be difficult to stump her?
Yuwen Keqin also understood this truth, he glanced at the paper under Xian Xian's hand, and couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, and intuitively told him that this letterhead was inseparable from him and the same prince's mansion.
Since he eats Junlu and inherits the grace of the king, he should be loyal to the king, not to mention, in terms of personal affairs, he and the emperor have grown up together since childhood. How much the emperor respects and cares about the Queen Mother in his heart, he knows better than others. "The meaning of the queen mother is the will of the emperor", he never doubted it.
Rao is like this, Yuwen Keqin read Yuwen Rui's letter, and he was silent.
Jing Yan looked at him lightly, "What do you think of the prince?" β
Yuwen Keqin's lips were pursed, and the expression on his face changed a few times, and he finally spoke: "How about the Queen Mother's ministers?" β
Jing Yan raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically: "What does the mourning family want the son to do, will the son do it?" β
Yuwen Keqin's words were stammered, and his expression was even more complicated.
Jing Yan chuckled: "It's not what the mourning family wants the son to do, but what the emperor wants the son to be." Does the son remember the glory of his ancestors? β
Yuwen Keqin's brows tightened, "What does the Queen Mother mean?" β
"At that time, Yuwenyi rebelled, so that Zu Yuwenxin was loyal to the monarch and the country, killed his relatives with righteousness, helped Emperor Gaozu to suppress Yuwenyi's chaotic party, and kept the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Gaozu thanked him for his high righteousness, crowned the double king, and enjoyed the glory of the world......"
When Yuwen Keqin heard this, his face turned pale: "The Queen Mother is an important minister...... The important minister ...... to his brother"
Jing Yan said: "Chaotic ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished!" β
"But ......"
Jing Yan shook his head and interrupted him: "The prince must see clearly, since the emperor has seen the face of the rebellious ministers, he will never tolerate and connive. Does the prince have to wait until the emperor thunders and wraths, so that the whole palace is affected? It is the prince who takes into account the affection of his siblings, and at that time Fei'er and Kai'er will be affected, should the prince really be willing? Also, how has the emperor treated his son over the years? The prince should have a judgment in his heart, right? β
Cold sweat trickled down Yuwen Keqin's forehead, he was out of his mind for a long time, and said: "Even if you are frugal, but my father is old......
Jing Yan sneered and said coolly: "Then may I ask Shizi, Fei'er and Kai'er, which one does Shizi love more?" If the mourning family expected it to be good, it should be the youngest son, right? Even the prince is still like this, let alone the king? β
Yuwen Keqin was silent. He knew that the Queen Mother was right, and compared with Yu Wenfei, the eldest son born by the princess Zhou, he loved Yu Wenkai born by the side concubine Li more. Not only because of Li's temperament, which is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, is very similar to Mu Yihan who is attached to him in his heart and can't be erased no matter what, but also because Yu Wenkai was raised in the palace soon after he was born. The so-called distant fragrance and near smell, the more you can't see it every day, the more you miss his goodness.
He thinks he is a loyal and good person, and he can't jump out of the word "eccentric", let alone his world-recognized big straw bag father?
Looking at the back of the prince of Xiangwang who was vague in his steps, Jing Yan's eyebrows and eyes were filled with sadness-
For the future of Yuwen Kai, for the affection of Yu Wenrui's brothers and sisters, and for the sake of fulfilling the reputation of Yu Wenrui's "Ming Jun", she pointed out a clear path for Yuwen Keqin, but this prince is obviously a good and loyal inside. I'm afraid that he will not only fail to become a good internal response, but will also become a stumbling block to his next move.
Jing Yan sighed silently and ordered Shen Quanchuan He Chong to come and see him.
There were some things that she had to prepare in advance to be safe.
Jing Yan suddenly felt a little tired: When will such days come to an end? Is it that when you are carefree and triumphant, you can let go of this burden and hand it over to her?
However, she also knows that state affairs can never be dealt with, and she is even more unlikely to be willing to let Yu Wenrui bear a burden.
Outside the hall, the spring breeze blows, and the willows pull branches, which makes people can't help but think about the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River where the willow embankment is breezy in the face.
Jiangnan, Saiwai, Western Regions, East China Sea...... She has never been to so many places in this world, perhaps, only galloping in all directions is the happiest thing.
Jing Yan stared at the good spring light, and he didn't feel stupid.
