Chapter Forty-Seven: Fueling the Flames
Chapter 47 adds fuel to the fire
"Don't say that again, but if you let me hear it again-" Wei Ziqi rarely reprimanded her with a dark face like this, "You're so old, don't you have a little sense of proportion?" β
He had said more or less before, she didn't take it to heart, but then she couldn't help but say it.
Wei Luan was taken aback, also because his face was really ugly, and then he suddenly realized that what he said just now really shouldn't be.
"It's me who lost my words, big brother, don't be angry." She lowered her eyebrows and looked at her with a posture that she knew was wrong, "But where is the eldest brother taking me?" β
Wei Ziqi threw a roll of his eyes at her: "King Qi sent a post to invite me, and my father asked me to bring you." β
Wei Luan was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, just thinking that the matter that was eighty percent of Sun Xi had been settled.
Merely...... In front of the eldest brother, if you want to mention this matter, the eldest brother will scold people again later.
Her little face wrinkled back together for a moment.
knew that Li Yan was for her good, so he didn't ask her to come out directly, but borrowed the name of the eldest brother, and he knew that his father would not make a hindrance from it, but the eldest brother......
She smiled and raised her eyes to look at Wei Ziqi: "Big brother and dad are arguing?" β
Wei Ziqi drooped his eyelids and glanced over as if he didn't have any: "Huh? β
"Li Yan's post to invite you is a trick, not only did my father obstruct it, but also followed his wishes, asking you to bring me with me, are you not satisfied, don't you have to talk to your father?"
It's better if she doesn't say this, the more she says, the more energetic Wei Ziqi becomes, and that momentum has not completely disappeared, but now it is rising more and more.
He simply sat up straight: "It's been just a few months...... Not to mention the past few months, how long has it been since Chen Ping was driven away and I came to invite me in the next post today? Luan'er, are you walking too close to King Qi? Also, since I was a child, I said that you, before and after others, don't call them by their first names. He is a king, a member of the royal family, and if you leak your mouth for a while, it is disrespectful. β
"But big brother, I have never figured it out, and I have never asked, why do you keep reminding me to keep my distance from Li Yan and not to be too close?" She tilted her head to look at him, as if she was genuinely confused.
Wei Ziqi took a deep breath and came out with a long sigh of relief, that look made people look quite helpless, and even ...... And a little bitter.
Wei Luan's eyebrows were brought together, she didn't like such emotions on him.
"I used to think that you were young, as long as you listened to me, but over the years, no matter how many times I have spoken, you have never listened. After watching you do things these two times, I feel that you have actually grown up. He said as he spoke, and sighed again, "Luan'er, the Wei family is rich, but we are not from a family." The queen mother has only two children in her life, Your Majesty and King Qi, and the King of Qi is the son, so much younger than Your Majesty, not long after he was born, the first emperor collapsed, and His Majesty Yuji was registered as the king. The infant infant was ordained as a prince, and since the founding of the country, there has never been one. β
"So because he is so noble, I can only look at him from afar, and once I get close to him, is it a sin?"
Wei Ziqi shook his head, and the words he said were heartfelt: "This is not your sin, but if Your Majesty says yes, it will become your sin." Back then, the king of Qi was obsessed with you, and his father was reprimanded several times for this, and in desperation, the family moved back to Qizhou, but he didn't want the king of Qi to chase him to Qizhou again. The Queen Mother and Her Majesty are not pursuing it now, but it is for the sake of King Qi's face. What about you? If you blindly stick to it and don't know how to hide, Your Majesty will not blame King Qi for being ignorant, but will investigate your wishful thinking, do you understand this truth? β
Understood, how could she not understand.
Where Wei Ziqi couldn't see, Wei Luan's little hand was tightly clenched into a fist.
It turned out that the eldest brother had long understood this truth, so he kept persuading her, but she was stupid and outrageous, and never listened.
I used to think that with Li Yan protecting her, who could move her?
Back then, there were rumors in Qizhou City, and my father and eldest brother angrily threw things at home, but later Li Yan was not calmed down.
But he never thought that Song Pingzhang ...... Wei Luan closed his eyes.
Song Yi's younger brother who was admitted to the Jinshi examination, and later became an official in the court, brought these things to the capital.
The gossip of Qi Wang Li Yan, who is not curious? What a confidante, what is angry with the crown, in this way, into the ears of the Son of Heaven, where is she good?
People say that she is a demon girl, and she will charm people's hearts, so that the king of Qi can be coaxed into everything to obey, otherwise, with the character of the king of Qi, what kind of noble girl does she want, why does she have to be?
And Your Majestyβ
Wei Luan only felt a pain in his throat, and the poisonous wine entered his mouth and passed through his intestines, and that feeling would never be forgotten.
But to this day, she is unwilling.
"Big brother, the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed, and he is as noble as the royal family, and there will never be a mistake. But this is the most difficult thing in the world to block, isn't it always a leisurely mouth? The smile on Wei Luan's face was bleak, "I haven't done it, people have said it, and it is also my fault that it reaches His Majesty's ears." Wish for the moon? Am I delusional? As early as when Li Yan was obsessed, what did the Queen Mother and Her Majesty do? β
She smiled bitterly and shook her head, such bitterness, with a strong contagion, entered the bottom of Wei Ziqi's heart.
Yes, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty also joked about it in the past.
The child is too young, only three or five years old, where do they know anything about love, and when they were six or seven years old, they never stopped Li Yan from leaving the palace and walking around the Wei family.
There are some things that Wei Ziqi has long understood.
In His Majesty's early years, he fought in all directions and expanded his territory, and the treasury was never full, so where did the military pay come from? The Wei family produced no less than thirty percent.
At that time, the movement of King Qi, in the eyes of His Majesty, was the most convenient means to win over the Wei family.
But when King Qi really grew up, all of this became the fault of the Wei family and his sister's wishful thinking.
Wei Ziqi also hated in his heart, hated the ruthlessness of the Heavenly Family, but he couldn't do anything, all of them couldn't do anything.
The brother and sister were speechless at each other, and neither knew what else to say.
Wei Ziqi seemed to understand her unwillingness, and Wei Luan clearly understood that some things were destined from the beginning, and the Song family was just a homeopathic back then, which was just fueling the flames, and it was by no means the root cause of such consequences.
She was about to speak, but the carriage came to a steady stop, and she swallowed back all her words.
Wei Ziqi looked at the corners of her twitching lips: "You...... Forget it......"
As he spoke, he got out of the carriage, handed her a hand, and told her to help her get out of the carriage, and said nothing more.
