Wei Changyuan originally wanted to help, but seeing that his younger brother didn't make any moves, he didn't want to lose his momentum for a while, so he didn't move after all.

Concubine Ying took the hands of her two sons one by one and brought them together.

At the beginning, Wei Changyuan was very uncomfortable, and Wei Changze wanted to pull it back directly, but Concubine Ying pulled it tightly, and the hands of the brothers finally overlapped in one place.

"I still remember when you were a child, when I was pregnant with Changjun, there were not so many air traffic control Changze, so I could only let my brother take my younger brother to eat and sleep together. Chang Yuan went to the study, and Chang Ze waited for his brother to come back. And the first thing Changyuan did after he came back was to bring his younger brother over to greet me. ”

Concubine Ying is a beautiful woman, she has been well maintained for so many years, as if nothing has changed, but at this moment, she finally saw some traces of aging in her eyes, "Every time I see the backs of you one tall and one short, walking around in Changfu Palace, my heart melts." At that time, I thought that it would be great if my brother could protect my brother for the rest of my life. ”

"The Mother ......"

Concubine Ying looked at Wei Changze, "Your mother and I may have made plans for you far more than you think about yourself. Especially the matter of your imperial uncle Wei Yongyi, I haven't thought about it, but I always feel that my children will not follow the old path of your father and imperial uncle. ”

She shook the hands of the two of them tightly and said softly: "Probably too confident, I used to ignore Changze Changjun's thoughts and blindly put the heavy responsibility on Changyuan." Until that moment, I was still wondering if you would suddenly stop and tell me that you were wrong, but unfortunately you didn't. ”

Wei Changyuan said guiltily: "Mother, it's all my son's fault. ”

Wei Changze also snorted, but even admitting his mistake was preempted by his brother, he didn't want to pick up people's teeth, so he just lowered his head.

Ying Guifei said gently: "I said these words, not to make you admit your mistakes, but just to let you feel that our mother's hands are held together, is it very warm?" In the past, when you had to sleep with your mother, did we just shake hands? ”

The memories of his childhood came flooding back, maybe Wei Changze was too young to remember clearly, but Wei Changyuan remembered everything.

And Concubine Ying is still continuing, "It's all my heart's meat...... Whether it is Changyuan or Changze, I look forward to arranging your future path properly. I thought that Chang Yuan was steady, Chang Ze was free and easy, one inherited the unification, and the other was rich and casual, but now it seems that it is my fault as a mother, the road that one person has to take, and it is useless for others to arrange it. But no matter how much you fight, between brothers, you must remember the warmth in your hands at this moment. ”

Wei Changyuan said gloomily: "Mother, I know that I am wrong, I really know that I am wrong." There are some things that I should have explained to my fourth brother at the beginning. ”

Concubine Ying looked at Wei Changze again, he tilted his head to the side a little unnaturally, and said: "Actually, I am not happy in my heart, and I want to make a fuss, in the future, if the concubine treats me and my second brother equally, I will not have any complaints." ”

Concubine Ying let go of her hand and smiled tiredly, "If you want anything, you can fight for it yourself, but since you are siblings, you should understand that you have to take care of each other, whoever has the upper hand for a while, don't be jealous, do your own thing upright, and your father will naturally choose the most suitable son." ”

Wei Changze said happily: "The words of the mother concubine, the son remembered it. ”

Wei Changyuan also bowed, but his heart was much more complicated than his younger brother, he hesitated for a while, and finally didn't continue to say more about this topic, only asked with some concern: "What about the two slaves and maids in Prince Gong's Mansion today......"

Concubine Ying said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, since your father said that he won't check it, he won't check it." ”

Wei Changyuan was a little heavy, "I'm afraid that my father will be suspicious of you." ”

"There will be some suspicions." In front of her sons, even if Concubine Ying was a little worried, she would not say it, but would reassure her, "Your mother still has a little face in front of the emperor, so she won't be dragged into the water by two unknown slaves." ”

Wei Changze pretended to be free and easy, "Mother, in a few years, you may be going to enter the Weiyang Palace, this kind of little minion is just the two of Prince Gong's Mansion who took it out to deliberately disgust us, don't take it to heart." ”

Concubine Ying said with a smile: "Okay, take your daughter-in-law and children, go home, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, don't care about any slaves who are no longer alive, go back and spend a good New Year with your family." ”

Wei Changyuan originally had something to say, but when he saw his mother waving his hand, he retreated silently.

Looking at the backs of the two sons, watching the door being opened and closed, Changfu Palace returned to a long silence, and even because in the depths of the Forbidden Palace, even the lively sound of firecrackers could not be heard at all. Concubine Ying sat back in her chair, alone, as if she was very lonely.

With a wry smile, she said, "Weiyang Palace...... In my life, I will never enter the Weiyang Palace. ”

Qinghe handed over the warm hand stove and said softly: "The emperor likes the master so much, isn't there no hope, the master was not going to the back seat before?" ”

"I have worked hard for the queen for many years, and only me and the queen were the most honorable in the harem, no matter what I do, they will say that I covet the queen. But I have come to this point, just because I have self-knowledge, Qinghe, my background, and this generation has stopped at the position of a concubine. ”

Ying Guifei is very calm, but her calmness can't hide the fatigue and regret that she has saved for so long, "Imperial concubine, queen, it's not as simple as just dealing with the affairs of the harem, every move will involve the previous dynasty, it has to be supported by a high-ranking family, and if you have to force yourself to sit in that position, you may have to pay for your life." ”

Qinghe hurriedly said: "Then the master is like this, it's good." ”

However, there was another thing that Ying Guifei didn't understand, and muttered, "Why did you suddenly come to this point?" What exactly did Hongu do wrong? ”

Qinghe understood her, and said softly: "The two highnesses have grown up, so they will naturally have their own ideas, and the master has already persuaded them, so there is no need to be too uncomfortable." ”

Ying Guifei shook her head, covered her heart and said: "I don't want Chang Ze to fight at all, his temperament is not suitable for sitting in that position, but in that situation just now, if I don't say anything soft, they can fight...... Qinghe, what have I done? ”

Qinghe could only persuade, "The two highnesses have been taught too well, and each has its own benefits, so it is inevitable that they will be arrogant." This is a blessing that no one else can ask for, so how can it be said to be a sin? ”

"Go find someone to keep an eye on Chang Ze and let him tie his hands and feet, this kid is only a moment of heat in everything, and when this period of time passes, he finds that the affairs of the government are not so easy and easy, and he will give up."

Wei Changze's mouth was sweet, and he also coaxed the minions around Concubine Ying, Qinghe loved him, and he was naturally a little distressed at the moment, and asked weakly: "Master, in case in the future, His Royal Highness really takes the old path of the emperor and his brothers...... His Royal Highness King Yu, isn't it too pitiful? ”

Concubine Ying's hand tightly grasped the mahogany handle of the chair, "No, my child, I will never go that far, if Changyuan can't tolerate his younger brother, I will definitely come forward to persuade him." ”

Qinghe thought to himself, but at that time, His Royal Highness King Qi was already the emperor's honor, would he really listen to Concubine Ying's words?

"Yes, the slave will look at His Royal Highness King Yu." That's all Qinghe can say.

Concubine Ying thought for a while, but said: "The people in the Qi Palace, let's also use it, this is a matter of the two brothers, just as Chang Ze said, I have to have a bowl of water." ”

"Yes."

At this moment, outside the Changfu Palace, the brothers took their respective wives and walked all the way to the gate of the palace, Wei Changyuan was silent for a long time, and finally said: "In order not to worry about the concubine, in a few days, you come to the Qi Palace's mansion to have a drink, and our brothers can talk well." ”

Wei Changze smiled, "Of course it's the best, speaking of which, I haven't been to your house since the second brother walked in the imperial court, so I'm really busy." ”

Wei Changyuan didn't know if there was any malice in his words, but he knew that between the two brothers, no matter how they drank and talked on the surface, it would be impossible to return to the original appearance, if Wei Changze ascended the throne, he would probably be the next Third Emperor Uncle Wei Yongyi.

Without further words, the palace gate on Chinese New Year's Eve was not locked, and the thick vermilion gate, which had been silent for hundreds of years, sent the two brothers out, and then watched them go in opposite directions and get into their respective carriages.

A few days later, Wei Changze really took Mu Hesheng to the Qi Palace, Wei Changyuan asked people to prepare all kinds of wine and food, and filled a large round table, Wei Changze sat down and said with a smile: "Is this the craftsmanship of the chef of the Qi Palace, or the craftsmanship of my second imperial sister-in-law?" ”

Since Mu Hesheng said those words to Xiao Huayin, her heart is not very steady, she is a gentle and kind woman who regards her husband as heaven, and she has accompanied Wei Changyuan to this point, and she has become more and more troubled and lost, she doesn't even dare to ask her husband if there is a woman outside, she is afraid that the answer will be a lie, or, it is a heart-piercing truth.

I was upset, so I had to think of a way to avoid Wei Changze, and I didn't want to have too much contact with the husband and wife, so I just said lightly: "Now in addition to running the family, I also have to raise my children, but I can't find time to cook for the fourth brother himself." ”

Wei Changze said nonchalantly: "Oh, I'm a little worried about the soup made by the second emperor's sister-in-law, it doesn't matter if you don't have it, the skills of the second brother's chef are bound to be better than those of Yuwangfu." ”

The breeze brings a chill and makes people sober. Wei Changyuan filled a glass of wine and said to him: "Some things in the past were all intolerant of me as an elder brother, I hope you don't keep it in your heart, in the future, we will work together in the court, and we will have to take care of each other as the mother concubine said." ”

"What did the second brother say?" Wei Changze smiled, and also raised his glass, "I used the second brother's people, but I didn't get any benefits for them, in this regard, I was very wrong, the affairs of the court, you still have to take me with the second brother." ”
