Prologue (short)
The first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty was the year when Liu Che, the seventh emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, ascended the throne.
In the evening, lead clouds were thick.
In Pingyang City, even the air seems to be filled with a heavy, gloomy atmosphere.
In the palatial Hou Mansion, Pingyang Hou Cao Shou, the great-grandson of the founding father Cao Shen, sat on the throne with gloomy eyes.
Next to him is Princess Pingyang, who has a graceful temperament and good looks, but also looks displeased, Liu Che's sister.
"Did you give birth?" Pingyang Hou spoke indifferently.
"Not yet, I guess it's going to be soon." Princess Pingyang's voice was visibly angry.
The two are talking about having a baby with her maidservant Wei Shao'er.
The child in his womb came from an improper background, and it was an affair between Wei Shao'er and Huo Zhongru, a county official.
The anger of the maid who fornicated with someone and gave birth to a child, which made Princess Pingyang leave, was not only embarrassing, but also the maids and maids in her house were carefully selected.
The maidservant's fornication discredited her as a princess.
She also hated the illegitimate child of the handmaid who was about to be born.
"What are you going to do with the baby when you give birth?" Pingyang Hou asked again.
"The servant girl secretly gave birth, which ruined my reputation, of course he can't be kept." Princess Pingyang said coldly.
The servant is equivalent to the master's private property, and the identity of the princess of Pingyang can decide life and death in one word.
The unborn child was clearly unlucky.
Pingyang Hou picked the corner of his mouth: "That child is insignificant to us and others, but after all, it is a life, it is better to stay, maybe it will be of some use in the future." ”
Princess Pingyang said disdainfully: "Useful? Is there still a shortage of servants in the house, is there a lack of such lowly servants, and leaving him will only disgrace me, do you think that I still have a place to rely on him?
I will not tolerate him. ”
At this moment, in the depths of the mansion, a loud baby cry sounded.
Soon a servant reported: "The child has been born...... It's a boy. ”
Princess Pingyang suddenly got up and walked to the back house.
When she came to a courtyard in the back house surrounded by servants, there was already a figure waiting for her outside the courtyard gate.
This person is tall, his eyes are calm and tenacious, he is a riding slave in the house, and he is also the half-brother of Wei Shao'er, who gave birth to the child, Wei Qing.
"Please leave my nephew's life alive, and Wei Qing will have a retribution." Wei Qing said steadily and firmly.
For some reason, when Princess Pingyang saw him, her eyes softened, and her anger was greatly restrained, and she sighed slowly after a long silence......
Bang!
There was a sudden thunder in the sky, as if to indicate that the newborn child was about to leave a bright light that would shine on the entire era.
Time flies, the sun and the moon alternate, and many cold and summer are passing in a blink of an eye.
