Chapter 52: No Wives, No Concubines!
Although Wei Sheng was the queen's concubine, Emperor Yunjing did not decree that he should be crowned the crown prince. Because the queen's mother, the Xiao family, is really not angry, the older generation climbs the queen to eat and wait for death, and the younger generation also climbs the queen's drunken gold fan.
It can be said that Wei Sheng is the best of all the princes, but unfortunately he was affected by the Xiao family, so that Emperor Yunjing refused to be crowned the crown prince for a long time.
Coupled with the rise of the Liu family and their loyalty to the royal family, Concubine Liu also won the hearts of Emperor Yunjing, and Emperor Yunjing put more hope on Wei Zhuo.
It's a pity that Wei Zhuo was born a straw bag, timid and cowardly, and he couldn't do anything without martial arts, and he was so angry that Emperor Yunjing wanted to pull out his head several times.
Wei Sheng is excellent, but the mother family is unreliable. The Liu family is strong, but there is a dou who can't be helped.
This is the reason why Emperor Yunjing was reluctant to be crowned the prince.
Wei Sheng poured Wei Yan a cup of tea in person, wanting to put some more news of Shen Yuan from Wei Yan's mouth, but he was rejected by his indifferent trio of "you don't care", "what's the matter with you", and "check it yourself".
Wei Yan got up and said, "If you don't have anything else to say, I'll leave first." ”
"Wait a minute, Ayan." Wei Sheng suddenly called him, the indecency on his face was also reined in, and there was a hint of sharpness in his cold eyes, "Don't be confused for some unimportant people, you will step into the court in the second half of the year, there are many people who want your life, don't let yourself have weaknesses." ”
Wei Yan knew what Wei Sheng was referring to, and replied with some annoyance, "I know." ”
After Wei Yan left, Wei Sheng let out a long sigh, always feeling that things would not go as smoothly as he thought.
"Ah Yan, Ah Yan, you can't waste my good wine in vain."
The guard with a knife standing next to him listened to Wei Sheng's muttering words, and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, if that matter is known to the prince, we ...... it."
Wei Sheng looked at him and said, "If you don't say it, if the palace doesn't say it, who will know." When Ning Xiang came back, the main hall personally went to ask Ah Yan for a marriage decree, and the night of the province was full of dreams. ”
In the private room on the other side, Zhao Xian pulled Shen Yuan and asked, "Little Kite, what did you write on the last question?" ”
"Thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak." Shen Yuan fiddled with the jade rabbit lantern he had made, and replied indifferently.
"What have you been doing in the seven years you've been outside, little kite?"
"Recuperate." It's not all, but she's not lying.
Zhao Xian touched his chin and asked again: "How old did you leave Chang'an, after all, your brothers and sisters are all influential figures, and you are their own sister, it is impossible for me to have no memory." ”
When Shen Yuan was thinking about going back, the door of the private room was opened, and Wei Yan walked in.
Shen Yuan immediately put down the jade rabbit lantern in his hand and ran to Wei Yan, "Shizi, you are finally back." ”
Looking at Shen Yuan's bright little face, the gloom in Wei Yan's heart was also dispelled a lot, took her hand, and said, "It's not early, let's go back." ”
Shen Yuan could sense Wei Yan's somewhat depressed mood, and he didn't ask much obediently, just took his lamp and mask, and then asked Zhao Xian, "Is Brother Zhao Xian going with us?" ”
Zhao Xian waved his hand and said, "I still have an appointment." ”
Shen Yuan nodded, and then was taken away by Wei Yan, Zhao Xian saw them off, and Shen Yuan could be heard coquettish with Wei Yan.
"Shizi, I'm so tired, can you hug me."
"Didn't you just get out of your rest?"
"I'm just tired."
"It's squeamish."
"I'm going to buy pine nut candy to eat."
"If you eat it again, you'll become a pig."
The figures of the two gradually disappeared into the crowd, but they did not notice that there were two other people watching them behind them.
Yelu Danyang bit his lower lip, and his body trembled. Shen Kite was so coquettish just now, although Wei Yan disliked it, but he relied on Shen Kite.
She loves Wei Yan and falls in love with his tender side of Shen Yuan, but that side doesn't belong to her.
"Qianqian, that way of yours...... I want to try. Other than that, she really didn't know what she was going to compare with Shen Yuan.
The corners of Shen Qianqian's lips under the hat were hooked, "Then I will definitely spare no effort to help the princess fulfill her wish." ”
Wei Yan wore a fox mask on his face, and Shen Yuan sat in the crook of his arm, put his hands around his neck, put his head on his shoulder, and yawned, with a thick tiredness in his voice.
"Shizi, we still have to go to the old banyan tree to make a wish." Although he was tired and sleepy, Shen Yuan still didn't forget it.
"Gods and Buddhas can't be trusted, only oneself can be believed." Wei Yan ruthlessly pierced Shen Kite's girlish dream.
Shen Yuan leaned on Wei Yan's shoulder and said whimsily: "The son of the world is really boring. ”
Wei Yan's face sank, and he replied angrily: "Then the son of the world will be your god and Buddha now, doesn't he just owe you a condition?" Tell me, what do you want? ”
Shen Yuan pursed her lips and groaned, and asked, "Is it possible to do anything except be the princess?" ”
Wei Yan nodded, Shen Yuan instantly came to his senses, straightened up and raised the little finger of his right hand, and said to Wei Yan: "That son of the world wants to hook up with me, and if you don't talk anymore, it doesn't count." ”
Wei Yan gritted his teeth and said: "This son of the world is a promise!" ”
"The daughter is just a drop in the bucket for the prince, and she must pull the hook." Shen Yuan urged inch by inch.
Wei Yan saw Shen Yuan's insistent face, so he had no choice but to stretch out his left little finger and make an agreement with Shen Yuan.
"The hook is not allowed to change for a hundred years, and those who don't count their words will become pigs' heads." Shen Yuan also deliberately accentuated the tone of the words "speaking doesn't count".
Wei Yan was angry in her heart, she was just three days late to take her out of the palace, and she kept remembering this matter.
Sure enough, women are careful! Wei Yan complained in his heart.
After hooking up with Wei Yan, Shen Yuan slowly said his request.
"Shizi, I still have two years to go, and you are not allowed to marry a wife or take a concubine before I am married."
Shunxi, who was walking behind them, was so frightened that he stumbled after hearing Shen Yuan's shocking speech.
Wei Yan also stopped and looked at Shen Yuan who didn't speak for a long time.
The place where they stopped was just a wall away from the old banyan tree that had made a wish, and the branches and leaves above their heads rustled by the night wind, and the red ribbons with wishes written on them also fluttered.
Shen Yuan knew that she was pampered and arrogant, she didn't want to do this, but she didn't seem to have any other way than to rely on Wei Yan's current favor for her.
Wei Yan's heart became very chaotic at this moment because of Shen Yuan's words, as if there were two voices arguing in his ears.
One voice was urging him to promise Shen Yuan, and the other voice was warning him not to let Shen Yuan become an obstacle in his bright future.
Since he was sensible, Emperor Yunjing and King Qin had always placed high hopes on him and arranged a path for him to take in the future, and Wei Yan had always grown up as they expected.
"Shen Kite, I ......"
