Chapter 787: Changes in the Harem
As the monarch of the Great Wei Kingdom, Wei Wuji has to prepare a banquet, and the people below will also talk about running errands and doing a good job.
The day after Wei Wuji issued the summons, all the preparations were made, and he was just waiting for the banquet to begin in the evening.
The day passed quickly, at least for the concubines in the harem, and they were full of anticipation for the banquet that the monarch took the initiative to organize.
Therefore, they arrived at the banquet hall early to wait, and at this time all the preparations inside were completed, waiting for the nobles to attend.
When the concubines arrived, Wei Wuji and Cao Xin also helped Yu Ji to rush to the venue.
Of course, the other concubines also wanted to come to support the Queen Mother, but they were not qualified, so they could only wait at the venue early.
Leaving the chamberlains and palace maids behind, only Wei Wuji and the other three were left in front, and the atmosphere was very quiet or depressing.
Yu Ji can feel the coldness between her son and daughter-in-law, and this is the last thing she wants to see, the queen is not harmonious but the harem is taboo, and it will become the farther of all trouble.
What's more, Yu Ji is still very satisfied with Cao Xin's daughter-in-law, so she can't see this even more.
And Yu Ji also knows that the reason why it is like this is only because there is more person in the harem!
But for Yu Ji, it is very unwise to directly alienate her son from her favorite concubine.
So after thinking about it again, Yu Ji said slowly: "When the first monarch was young, he first married Xie Yun as his wife, and then accepted the palace as a concubine, but the palace later lived above Xie Yun and was favored by the harem!" ”
"The scenery of the sole pet is good, but it is not allowed by the harem, and in the end it ends up attacking in a group......"
"Since then, this palace has known that it is rare to be alone for a long time!"
Speaking of this, Yu Ji looked at Wei Wuji and said: "Now that Wuji is the king, I hope you must not be like this, so as not to love it for a long time!" ”
"You should understand the truth of deep love and longevity, so you should keep all the concubines in mind, not one or two!"
After saying so much, Wei Wuji knew who his mother was targeting, and at this time he also thanked Tang Ji for saving him some face, and did not directly say Ji Bangyue's name.
At this time, Wei Wuji glanced at Cao Xin next to him, secretly wondering if it was her doing.
Cao Xin was enjoying listening to the Queen Mother's advice, but after noticing her husband's unkind gaze, her joyful heart suddenly hung up.
Fortunately, at this time, Yu Ji also sensed Wei Wuji's thoughts, so she spoke: "Junhou watch the road, be careful of falling!" ”
"What I said just now was for my mother, what are you doing with Xin'er?" Yu Ji said with a slight dissatisfaction.
Wei Wuji turned his gaze at this time, and only heard him say at this time: "What the mother said is very true, and the son remembers it!" ”
Cao Xin's hanging heart fell, she really didn't want to be misunderstood by her husband.
After all, now the relationship between the two is weak, and if there is another misunderstanding, who knows if it will turn against each other.
After all, Cao Xin, as the Empress of Wei, is also a thorn in the side of the women in the palace, and everyone wants to squeeze her off the throne.
As a result, peace returned between the three of them, but Wei Wuji's good mood was also ruined.
When the mother and son entered the banquet hall, the concubines who had been waiting here for a long time saluted Ji Ji under the leadership of Ji Bangyue.
"Meet the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Madam!"
After Wei Wuji and the three of them sat down, Yu Ji, who was in the center of the head, waved his hand and said, "No courtesy!" ”
The concubines then stood up and returned to their seats, and those who had children took care of their children.
From the down-and-out woman at the beginning, to the full house of children and grandchildren now, looking at everything in front of her, Yu Ji was afraid that this was a dream at this time.
When she woke up from her memories, she slowly spoke: "Today, the prince proposes to hold a banquet to make this harem lively, don't let the prince down!" ”
At the harem banquet, Yu Ji is the person with the highest status at this time, so the opening remarks have to be made by her.
At this moment, the concubines got up again and said: "The queen mother's teachings, the concubines should remember!"
Wei Wuji looked at the people below, and said at this moment: "You don't have to be restrained, sit down!" ”
So everyone returned to their seats, and under the constraints of etiquette, it was difficult for this banquet to be as enjoyable as Wei Wuji imagined.
When the feast was announced, the musicians who had been waiting for the sides began to play, and then a group of dancers strolled into the main hall.
The winter cold is raging outside, but the inside of the hall is like a spring day, and the music and dance in the middle of it make this place like a fairyland on earth.
Except for Wei Wuji and Yu Ji, who focused on singing and dancing, the concubines all paid attention to the man on the throne.
As a result, Wei Wuji couldn't enjoy watching the show if he wanted to, and the concubines could always find a way to talk to Wei Wuji.
He had just been taught by Yu Ji, and Wei Wuji had to talk to the concubines at this time, but he was a little absent-minded.
But fortunately, a small man came to relieve him.
Just when Wei Wuji was dealing with the concubines, a little girl came out from behind him, pulled the corner of his clothes and shouted, "Father, father......"
The little girl is already seven years old, and she is Wei Wuji's eldest daughter, born to Huan'er, named Wei Rou'er!
To tell the truth, Wei Wuji now has many heirs, but there are very few people who love him.
And the eldest daughter, Wei Rou'er, is even one of them, so when he saw his good daughter, Wei Wuji hugged her into his arms.
"It turned out that Rou'er came, but I miss my father?" Wei Wuji asked with warmth, his attitude was much closer than that of his concubines.
Wei Rou'er nestled in her father's arms, and said with a little dissatisfaction at this time: "Father hasn't hugged Rou'er for a long time!" ”
After being said by his daughter, Wei Wuji recalled it slightly, but he couldn't remember how long it was the last time he held the child, so he felt ashamed in his heart.
In order to make up for his dereliction of duty, Wei Wuji picked up a pastry on the table, handed it to Wei Rou'er and said, "Come, good daughter, eat delicious!" ”
Fortunately, at this time, Wei Rouer still gave her father face, and the little hand turned out the pastry handed by Wei Wuji.
Seeing this scene, the concubine next to him said: "Wuji, look at it, even the good granddaughter of the palace is dissatisfied with you, you have to be careful with the harem!" ”
Wei Wuji nodded yes, and his words made the shame on his face even heavier.
But at this time, he also realized an important question, whether the education of his descendants should also be put on the agenda.
Especially those sons of his, who are now in a free-range state, how can this raise a successor who satisfies him!
So Wei Wuji said at this time: "What my mother taught me is that my son will take more care of the children in the future!" ”
At this time, after everyone below saw that Wei Rou'er was already in the arms of the monarch, they all turned their jealous eyes to Huan'er.
These people also felt envious at this time, why didn't they marry the prince early, and why they didn't have their own children in the arms of the prince.
At this time, Huan'er, after seeing her daughter get into Wei Wuji's arms, she was a little flustered.
It is precisely because she is in the harem that Huan'er knows that this kind of eye-catching thing will only bring trouble to herself.
She is not like Lan'er, who has the queen mother in the harem to take care of her loudly, even if she has trouble with the monarch, but Wei Wuji's heart is in the previous dynasty, and it is impossible to take care of him at all times.
Therefore, Huan'er stood up at this time and confessed to Wei Wuji: "Prince, Rou'er doesn't know how to be polite, and she bumped into you...... It's the concubine's poor discipline! ”
Looking at Huan'er below, although he was now a nobleman in the palace, Wei Wuji still felt that the other party was as insecure as he was in the Qi Kingdom.
And it was this appearance that made Wei Wuji's heart rarely overflow with a ray of tenderness, the other party was not only his first woman, but also accompanied him through the most suffering.
Therefore, at this time, Wei Wuji smiled, and then said to Huan'er: "Rou'er is innocent and lively, and the widow likes it very much, so Rou Concubine doesn't have to blame herself!" ”
Concubine Rou is Huan'er's title, Wei Wuji said so, and she could only honestly return it.
At this time, Cao Xin, who was sitting on the other side of the concubine, looked helplessly at her son next to her, if only Tianxuan could be more sensible.
At this time, Wei Tianxue was only seven years old, and he was far from the level of understanding that Cao Xin wanted.
At this time, Wei Wuji shouted to his eldest son: "Heavenly Choice, come to the widow!" ”
This was definitely something Cao Xin didn't expect, but she reacted relatively quickly, so she hurriedly said to her son: "Heavenly selection, don't hurry up yet!" ”
Wei Tianxue is Cao Xin's son, and he is the existence of the little overlord in this harem, so he is not stage frightened at this time, and walked in front of Wei Wuji under the gaze of everyone.
Although he is small, he still knows all the etiquette, and he saw him saluting and saying: "Meet the king!" ”
Wei Wuji was also extremely happy in his heart, so he listened to him: "Heavenly selection has a basis for advancing and retreating at a young age, and Madame has a good way to teach!" ”
was praised by Wei Wuji, even if Cao Xin is good at cultivating qi now, he can't suppress the excitement in his heart at this time.
Cao Xin hurriedly stood up and said: "The prince and the marquis praise falsely, the concubine body is just teaching heavenly selection, and you must always take the prince as an example, this is the prince and the marquis are taught well!" ”
Wei Wuji smiled and didn't say anything else.
He asked his eldest son to come up and praise Cao Xin, largely to divert attention.
Part of it is to transfer pressure to Huan'er, but to a greater extent, it is to transfer pressure to Ji Bangyue, and he listened to what Ji said.
and Cao Xinyan smiled at Yan Yan, even if it was superficial, it would be of great help to stabilize the harem!
At this time, Wei Wuji picked up a piece of pastry again, handed it to his eldest son, and said, "Come, the widow will also reward you with a piece of pastry!" ”
Who knows, at this time, Wei Tianxue bowed and said: "The elder gave it, I don't dare to resign, thank my father!" ”
If Wei Wuji asked Wei Tianxuan to come up, it would be more to stabilize the harem. At this time, after listening to the words of the eldest son, he began to really look at his son.
After a long while, Wei Wuji said, "Good, good!" ”
Just two simple words of praise made Cao Xin even happier.
After being married to Wei Wuji for so many years, Cao Xin knew that the simpler the compliment, the more his son had really been recognized by his father.
With this alone, Cao Xin felt that she had been swept away from the past, although she had lost her husband's favor, she still had a son!
Cultivating her son well has now become Cao Xin's top priority.
Wei Wuji could hardly notice the change in this, because he was ready to teach his son again at this time.
He already has a tendency to raise his son, so why not start now?
