"I'm not lying to you, I'm your real father!"
Wei Zhao didn't believe him. "Then how did you give birth to me?"
This matter was related to the dignity of an emperor. Could he tell Wei Zhao the truth?
When Wei Zhao saw that his face was covered in sh * t and yet didn't want to come out, he couldn't bear it for three seconds. "Does my mother know about this?"
Of course she knew. How could she not know what she had done?
"Since you are my father, why didn't you bring me to the palace earlier?" Emperor Qing He was quickly struck dumb by the child's question.
"Uh, earlier, I … I wonder if I'll have you with your mother. "
"How did you find out?"
Isn't that your father being drugged so I can't have any more babies … Of course I can't say that.
Tutor Qian quickly finished writing the outline and handed it over. "This subject takes his leave." For some things, no matter how much he listened to them, the guy on his neck might not be able to hold on!
After Tutor Qian had left, Emperor Qinghe spoke to Wei Zhao privately for a long time. In short, the two of them had reconciled, and the palace was filled with a very filial son.
Wang Taichang holed himself up in his house for a long time, wrapping himself up in a benevolent old grandpa and going to the palace.
He was the emperor's biological grandson, and he was the only relative in the family. To say that he was his relative was to slightly insult the pride and arrogance of his relatives.
From past generations, they were all fierce like tigers. Not to mention the far off, there were two famous ones, Wang Mang and Yang Jian.
Although Wang Taizong's surname was also Wang and he had married his daughter to the emperor, it was not the same as Wang Mang's. When he was too young, he was also a talented person. Just by looking at him, one could tell that he was a valuable asset, but when pillars were turned into pillars, he would only bear the fruit of celebrating the death of He Di's mother.
In his early years, there were people who mocked him for his nemesis. Pei! He had never even seen a hair of a nemesis before, where did he get his nemesis from?
All these years had passed, and he was the only proper master in Wang Taichang's house. The one who mocked him had long since turned into a cup of loess, and he was still quite strong.
Back then, Emperor Qing He had wanted to find a new heir for his grandfather, but he didn't expect that grandfather would look down on him at all. He closed his eyes and said with tears in his eyes, "Previously, your mother said that there would be a few more children." It means how the people you're looking for can compare with your mother's!
But Emperor Qinghe's mother didn't follow her father, and so the baby was very easy to bear. It gave birth to Emperor Qinghe, but with a bang it came to a halt, never to be born again.
Emperor Qing He was skeptical. "It was precisely Imperial Mother who agreed, but how could Emperor Xian agree?"
Your mother told me to live a few more years, didn't she?" After killing the late emperor, wouldn't it be easy for a nephew to borrow a brother as soon as he ascended the throne? Who knew that the late Emperor had died a bit too early? He hadn't left any of his younger brothers and sisters behind, and so he had run straight into the arms of his ancestors.
Emperor Qing He silently spat out the blood in his heart. His grandpa had actually been alive all this time, waiting for his father to die …
Although this was what Kaiser often said, Emperor Qinghe didn't have any hatred for him. After all, he was his biological grandfather. In the early days, he had still doted on him. Moreover, it was too outrageous to say that the late emperor had often cursed to death. One had to know that the late emperor had always been waiting for the late emperor's second child to be born.
Therefore, the emperor didn't ask him to pay his respects after he entered the palace. The grandfather and grandson duo even said some heartless words, "Now I only hope for the princess to help the imperial family grow more leaves in the future. If I can have a few more …" The meaning behind his words was that he might be able to pass one on to old man Wang.
Wang Taichang immediately laughed so hard that his teeth couldn't be seen, his eyes were squinted, and his teeth were missing. "There are a lot of babies, and they're not good for the body, so it's good to have two."
"Right." Emperor Qinghe shook his head. "At least three." His words were rather dejected.
Emperor Qing He's words were full of melancholy, so he thought that Emperor Qing He wanted to choose a better child among the princess' children. Thus, he nodded and said, "That's true. The two of them are still a bit fewer in number."
Emperor Qing He looked at Wei Zhao, who was lying on the table painting red, and suddenly exclaimed, "My grandfather and I need to live a bit longer …" After living for a long time, it would be great if he could boil everything to death.
Grand Preceptor Wang also looked at Wei Zhao with great delight, following Emperor Qinghe's gaze, "Yes!" Your Majesty, you have to find a good husband for the princess. The princess was loved by those brats back in the academy! "
This, this, this was not a big deal for kindergarten children who were in love, but in the feudal dynasty, this was a huge matter! The reason Emperor Qinghe didn't change his expression was because he wanted to get more information from Adept Wang. Tutor Qian, hmph, his heart was biased.
"Mm. I've heard the Imperial Tutor say a few times that someone with the surname Ji …"
The king was originally a bit embarrassed by the gossipy princess' love affairs. He had heard the emperor say it quite a few times already, so what did it mean if he could say it a few times? It meant that the emperor didn't object. If the emperor objected, he would be done for just by saying it once. What else could he do?
After being rich with the Imperial Tutor for so many times, Wang Taizong's courage had become fat, "He's talking about Ji Ming and Ji Quan, right!?"
Emperor Qing He almost coughed up blood. From this surname, could it be that the two brothers were interested in Wei Zhao at the same time?
"This old man feels that the princess treats them as if they were her relatives. However, there is a person surnamed Xue who seems to be her aunt's younger cousin. The princess has taken quite a lot of care of him."
After all, they were just a bunch of hooligans, and even if Wang Taichang wanted to create some colorful topic, he could do it anyway. Emperor Qinghe didn't hear any excessive content in his words, so he was in a better mood and nodded.
Wang Taichang's words were a reminder to the emperor that these two brothers surnamed Ji and Xue's cousin were both men! The reading companions that the Head of the Palace left behind were all women!
The Emperor asked, "She was in school before. Did she have any good female classmates?"
Wang Taichang shook his head, "There aren't many girls in the academy. Not only is there no good one, there's even a girl who specially picks on her. But the princess never suffers losses, often making that little girl roll her eyes in anger. But I heard from her that there's a neighbor who can play well with her. "
The emperor understood. This game of playing together could be played together with a girl. Learning together, there was always a difference in quality. It was probably inappropriate! Let's take a look first!
Senior Official Zheng personally escorted him out of the palace. The only people in the palace other than the emperor and princess were all on foot. They were all too old, so the emperor had to send someone to escort him out of the palace and into a carriage every time.
After Wei Zhao had finished writing, Emperor Qinghe nodded, "Go take a rest."
Lin mama brought Red Bamboo and Green Bamboo to help Wei Zhao wash his hands.
The red bamboo carried a small and exquisite box and came over. Opening it up, there were four or five snacks. The green bamboo also received the tea tray from the little girl behind.
No matter how beautiful the pastries were, Wei Zhao didn't like them at all. The red bamboo was a bit more lively, and when he saw that she didn't want to make a move, he took the initiative and said, "Your Highness, the pastries were just made in the royal kitchen. They don't get tired of drinking with the tea."
Wei Zhao shook his head. "I don't want tea or snacks. Give me a cup of water."
Green Bamboo was stunned for a moment. Luckily, there was still water in the teacup, so he hurriedly placed it at Wei Zhao's side.
The emperor sat in front of the imperial report and reviewed the imperial edicts, but he was also paying attention to the movements of Wei Zhao's side. Seeing that she only drank water and walked over to take a look, he asked gently, "Do you not like to eat, or are you not hungry?"
The emperor's voice was clearly very gentle, but Wei Zhao felt that the breathing of the people around him suddenly became tense. These people lowered their heads and looked at the ground, but it seemed as if they couldn't bear to have another pair of eyes staring at her.
This was a kind of oppression that came from the bottom up. The lower class hoped that the upper class would make a decision that would benefit the lower class' survival. Their hope would then be urgent and anxious.
Wei Zhao stood straight, not saying a word.
After a long time, the Emperor laughed lightly. "All of you, leave."
The attendants filed out, and the atmosphere in the room immediately eased up.
The emperor sat down, and his gaze was at the same level as Wei Zhao as he smiled, "You've just arrived. They don't know what you like, so they'll be a bit scared when they see that you don't like them. Don't mind them, they'll be fine in a few days. When I was young, I wasn't as bold as you, so I ate them all. I don't know if I was happy or not, but I've been eating pastries for quite a few days already, and you've cooked well today. If you don't like it, then don't want it.
When Senior Official Zheng returned, he saw Senior Servant Lin standing at the entrance. The people following behind her were all dispirited. Senior Zheng stood by her side, but Lin mama only spoke a few words without any hesitation. When Official Zheng heard this, he nodded his head and thought that it was time for the emperor to have some snacks as well. He then beckoned his disciple over to remind him.
Inside the room, Wei Zhao was talking to the emperor. She didn't know why, but she wasn't afraid of this royal father at all. She subconsciously knew that the emperor didn't like her talking about her parents, so she took the initiative to avoid this topic.
Emperor Qinghe's father's heart was growing, and he had grown a lot more patient. When he heard Wei Zhao say, "I don't like to eat, they're unhappy."
"You are a princess. There is no need for you to care what they think." The duty of servants is to take good care of you, if you are unhappy it is because they do not do well, this need not self-blame. Those who did not become masters would instead look at the servants' expressions and conduct their business. If that was the case, Royal Father would no longer need to review the imperial reports and deal with the affairs of the nation. Just looking at the servants' faces everyday would cause him to tire himself to death. The elders and children were orderly, and there was a difference between high and low. Once the high and low were disrupted, the order between the heaven and earth would be disrupted. "
After a while, Senior Official Zheng personally came in with a food box. Lin mama followed behind him, and Wei Zhao took a look at the thin sliced beef and ham, along with other delicious, salty dishes. Two bowls not much bigger than a fist were filled with lotus seed porridge, and there were also two steaming golden cakes.
If these things were small enough, they would only be enough to fill fifty percent of her stomach. After the two of them had finished eating, Emperor Qinghe still drove the others away to speak to her.
"The princess has a steady personality, even if the servants come to serve her, she still won't be able to satisfy her. If only we can find the person who served her in the past and ask her about her daily life, then not only will we have the luck of serving our underlings, we'll also be able to do our best to serve her …"
