The crown prince and his mother died three years ago. On this day, during the third anniversary ceremony, the crown prince went to the Royal Ci'en Temple to preside over the ceremony. In the evening, he returned to the palace to see Emperor Wei.
Emperor Wei contracted a cold at the beginning of the year, which caused an old illness. Although the imperial doctors tried their best to treat him, his condition not only did not improve, but also worsened over the course of a year. Near the end of the year, he had not been to court for many days. Just a few days ago, I received good news from outside the pass. I learned that Duke Wei led the army to defeat the Hu people. The war, which lasted for a year and a half, finally ended with the victory of the Wei Dynasty. The courtiers celebrated and the whole country rejoiced. The spirit of the Wei Emperor was so great. It's getting better. The prince came to see him and ordered him to come.
The prince entered, knelt down and bowed, and reported the day's sacrifices. Emperor Wei forwarded a report he had just received today to the prince. The Taoist army was about to return in the spring. Then he sighed, with a lot of emotion in his tone: "Over the years, the Hu people have made great efforts to seize the Hetao. This is what I have done." It's a big worry. Now that the war has finally been won, the Hu people have retreated northward in a hurry, their vitality is severely damaged, and it is expected that within ten years they will no longer be able to go south to commit trouble. It can be said that I have lost one of my worries."
"With the support of our ancestor Fu Yin and our father's great fortune, and with the dedicated loyalty of General Pei and other soldiers below, we, the Wei Dynasty, will be invincible and the world will be at peace." The prince responded respectfully.
Emperor Wei looked at the prince: "I have another concern, which is the choice of the crown prince. I am afraid that my illness will not be cured. You are the prince, and the East Palace has only side concubines, but no main concubine. It is unbecoming. The matter of the concubine cannot be delayed any longer"
"My father is a lucky man and has the blessing of heaven. I will discuss the matter of my children and ministers as soon as my father recovers from his illness."
The prince knelt down with a "pop" sound.
Emperor Wei waved his hand.
"I know that you are sincerely filial, but this matter cannot be delayed any longer. Previously, you were the one keeping filial piety for your mother and queen. Now that the period of filial piety has expired, let's get married as soon as possible after we make the decision. In this way, I can feel at ease, and the courtiers can also feel at ease."
The prince kowtowed and choked with sobs: "My son, I will obey my father's arrangements."
Emperor Wei signaled the eunuch to hand a piece of paper to the prince.
"These three families not only have a noble family, but the daughters in their boudoirs also have the virtue of maternal etiquette."
The prince took it and read it quickly. He didn't see the person he was thinking of, so he was silent for a while.
In his mind, the image of another woman emerged.
Her mother, Mrs. Pei, and his mother-in-law were close friends in the past. The queen mother loved Mrs. Pei's daughter and often called Mrs. Pei to take her to the palace to talk.
In this way, the growing-up daughter of the Pei family gradually entered his heart, making him always miss her.
But at that time, he had already made an engagement.
Later, the woman who was engaged to him passed away, and at that time, she had not yet had her hair.
The prince then found an excuse to delay the establishment of his concubine and waited silently for the day when she would grow up.
Later, the queen mother unfortunately died of illness. Three years later, she finally grew up.
His filial piety period for his mother has expired, and his father's health is deteriorating, so he will definitely establish a concubine for him at this time, which is what he expected.
But what he didn¡¯t expect was why she wasn¡¯t among the candidates for the crown princess?
It is logical to make his daughter the crown prince, and it will be of great benefit to himself.
According to what he originally knew, Emperor Wei had selected the daughters of four ministers this time, and her name ranked first among the four.
But at this moment, she was not among the candidates for the Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince couldn't believe it for a moment.
Emperor Wei said: "Among these three families, I think your Taifu's daughter is the most suitable. Of course, the other two are also suitable. You can choose between them."
How could the prince not hear the emperor's tone? This was the emperor's final intention to make the Taifu's daughter the crown princess.
The prince finally suppressed the infinite disappointment in his heart, kowtowed, and said respectfully: "My son, I will obey the orders of my father."
Emperor Wei smiled and said: "Very good, the matter has been settled like this. I will issue an edict tomorrow and choose a date before the year to get married as soon as possible, so that the whole world can celebrate."
The prince kowtowed again and thanked him. When he was about to leave, Emperor Wei suddenly said: "Your third brother is now on his way back to the capital. He will probably arrive in a few days. He has been naughty since he was a child. Last year, he insisted on joining the army with General Pei. I thought he would come back after a while, but I didn't expect that he endured the hardship. Not only did he gain experience, but he also achieved military exploits. It showed that he had grown up. I was very relieved. When he comes back, I will make him the king. "
The prince was startled, and then he said happily: "I also said that my third brother will not return with General Pei until next spring.News about her father and brother, and then imagining what he had done in the army, became her daily little sweet pleasure.
It was also after he left that she felt deeply for the first time that for some time, this scoundrel who used to make her feel ashamed and annoyed when she thought about it, had quietly occupied her heart.
She can no longer forget him.
What she didn¡¯t expect was that things would turn out like this.
It has been three years since the prince's filial piety period expired. Recently, she heard some faint rumors. The emperor wants to choose a princess for the prince, and it is said that he is one of the candidates, and the possibility of being selected is extremely high.
The supreme honor that so many people envied made her feel uneasy all day long, making it difficult for her to sleep or eat well.
I hope it's all just rumors. Hopefully she loses. I hope
She can wait until the day he returns to Beijing.
"A Jing! A Jing!"
Along with the sound of footsteps, his mother's voice calling him suddenly came from outside the door.
Pei Wenjing was startled, came to his senses, and quickly put the jade pendant back into the box. He turned his head and saw that the door had been pushed open, and his mother came in surrounded by a group of nuns and girls, looking at herself with a smile.
"Congratulations, little lady. Someone came from the palace just now and brought good news!"
A nun beside my mother smiled happily and rushed to say.
The girls also looked at her, all smiling.
Pei Wenjing immediately remembered the rumor, and his cheeks suddenly lost color. He held the edge of the dressing table with one hand, stood up slowly, and looked at his mother, his eyes slightly hollow.
Mrs. Pei immediately noticed something unusual about her daughter and hurriedly walked to her side.
"A-Jing, what's wrong with you? Even the palms of your hands are so cold? But what's wrong with your body?"
Mrs. Pei held her daughter's hand and helped her sit down.
Pei Wenjing shook his head and said that he was fine. He finally managed to calm down and said softly: "Mother, what news has come from the palace?"
"Li Yuangui came just now and said that His Highness the Third Highness has returned to Beijing today. I wish to marry His Highness the Third Highness and betroth you to him."
Pei Wenjing was stunned. His heart suddenly beat so fast that he could hardly believe his ears.
She slowly raised her eyes and looked at her mother, as if she was in a dream: "Mom, what did you say?"
"Long Live wishes to marry you and His Highness the Third. Li Yuangui said, Long Live means to arrange the marriage of the Third Prince after the Crown Prince's wedding. The imperial edict will be issued soon. The news is a bit sudden, but mother thought, you and His Highness the Third will be married soon." We just got to know each other"
"Ah Jing, mother thinks this is a good thing and you should be happy."
Mrs. Pei led her daughter to the bedside and sat down, held her in her arms, looked at her, her eyes were filled with relief and relief, and she spoke softly.
Pei Wenjing's pale cheeks gradually became flushed, as bright as a flower.
"A daughter leaves everything to her mother"
She buried her face in her mother's arms, closed her eyes shyly, and whispered vaguely. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
