Hello Chang'an
/ Hello Chang'an Chapter 461
When Wei Shuyi took his mother to the courtyard, he saw his father following him naturally.
"Father." Wei Shuyi stopped and said, "I have something to say to my mother alone."
When Zheng Guogong slaps his feet, should he also avoid it?
"Okay..." Zheng Guogong has always been very talkative: "I just want to go for a walk in the garden."
It rained a lot last night, so he had to go see the flowers and plants in his garden.
"Father, walk slowly."
Just as Zheng Guogong left humming a little tune, Wei Shuyi just took two steps and stopped again. He turned to look at his sister who was following him, and reminded him with a slightly tired smile: "Miaoqing, brother said that he wanted to talk to his mother 'alone' —”
Wei Miaoqing nodded, but asked: "Then I can't listen?"
Looking at his sister's natural expression, Wei Shuyi felt that he was in trouble alone and was causing trouble in all directions.
Wei Miaoqing quickly explained the reason why she took it for granted: "Anyway, it's not a serious matter."
After all, if my brother wanted to discuss business, he wouldn't talk to his mother. Otherwise, wouldn't it be like playing the piano to a cow and talking to a chicken?
"Don't think that I don't know. Brother, you want to tell mother about Mrs. Chang, right?" Wei Miaoqing came closer and lowered her voice with curiosity: "Brother must have met Mrs. Chang during this trip. We met this time. "Brother, are you up to par? Let me listen too. I can also give you some advice!"
"Steward Fang, drag her down...bring her back." The first one who couldn't bear to listen was Duan. She waved her hand at the stewardess beside her, with a look on her face that she couldn't bear to listen.
She really didn't want to recall the shameful experience of trying to turn His Highness into her daughter-in-law!
Every time she accidentally thought about it, she would run around in her head and scream, to stop herself from thinking about it any further.
Seeing her mother and brother walking into the courtyard, Wei Miaoqing was forced to leave by manager Fang, grabbing one of her arms. Wei Miaoqing couldn't help but wonder: "What happened to my mother during this time?"
Where was the original motivation to abduct Mrs. Chang to be her daughter-in-law?
But Aniang clearly still cares about Mrs. Chang. Could it be that she feels that Mrs. Chang is becoming more and more outstanding... is it because my brother is not worthy?
When Wei Miaoqing, who was afraid that she would be left alone to fight in the future, kept muttering in her heart, Duan had already sat down in Wei Shuyi's study.
The study here is spacious and bright, divided into two rooms, inside and outside. Even though Wei Shuyi is not at home for many days, the windows are still cleaned every day and are spotless.
The door to the study room was closed, and Changji stood guard outside with a serious expression.
In the inner study room, in order to facilitate low-pitched conversation, Duan and Wei Shuyi sat in chairs on both sides of the small table with a chessboard. Duan couldn't wait to ask first: "... Zigu, have you seen anyone? Can I ask? Passed? Has it been confirmed?”
Wei Shuyi nodded: "Yes."
After Duan was stunned for a moment, she showed a joyful expression that seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time. She clutched her handkerchief and said, "I knew it was unmistakable...except for His Highness, there will be no one else."
"So, is Your Highness okay?" Duan asked with red eyes, "Have you lost weight or gained weight?"
"I've lost some weight." Wei Shuyi didn't dare to look at his mother's overly caring eyes: "But I've grown taller."
"Your Highness has grown taller..." Mrs. Duan, who was in tears, repeated the story, and suddenly laughed: "Your Highness can still grow taller..."
She felt it was novel and amusing, but also felt lucky and happy.
Then he quickly asked: "Your Highness, has she ever mentioned me?"
Wei Shuyi nodded silently, his eyes fell on the box on the desk beside him, and said, "That's what 'she' asked me to bring to my mother."
Duan followed his line of sight, quickly got up and went forward, opened the box, and saw the dazzling array of jewelry inside. She choked up and said, "Your Highness still misses me as before..."
Duan picked up a beaded flower, and with tears in her eyes, she felt like she was a boy again.
She slowly put the beaded flower into her hairpin, then picked two different gold hairpins and silk flowers and inserted them into her hair. There are also bracelets and bracelets, all of which are put on the wrists.
At the end, she asked with tears in her eyes: "Zi Gu, does it look good?"
Wei Shuyi smiled slightly and nodded stiffly. Frankly speaking, it was very messy, just like his life full of immorality at the moment.
It was obvious that my mother's affection for the late prince was so deep that it was impossible to hide it.
Seeing his mother's eyes sparkling with tears and her eyes full of joy, the smile on Wei Shuyi's face, who had just been ill after running around for many days, became increasingly pale and heartbreaking.
He temporarily suppressed the messy feelings and revealed the source of the torture that had been brewing on him: "Mother, you can tell me the unspeakable secret about the former prince now."
Duan, who was stroking the beaded flowers on her temples, was startled when she heard this and raised her eyes to look at him.
Wei Shuyi: "Before coming back, His Highness personally promised that my mother would tell me the truth about the matter."
Duan lowered his hand, stared at him suspiciously for a moment, and said, "Don't come here to trick me."
She glanced at her son confidently and sat back down: "If His Highness really wants you to know, why didn't he tell you face to face?"
Wei Shuyi gave a difficult smile: "She probably thought that what I did before was too offensive, and she wanted to make me suffer for a while."
Duan suddenly raised his eyebrows: "His Highness also thinks you are offensive."
Wei Shuyi was accustomed to it and pushed forward the topic without any hesitation: "Mother can agree that her son is disgusting, but she cannot question her son's filial piety - since I know that you have sworn not to leak this matter without permission, I will not use it to lie and deceive. "
Having said this, he smiled slightly: "Besides, if my son wants to trick you, there is no need to wait until today and waste so much time."
Duan's eyebrows and her heart beat twice. Although this statement seemed to belittle her intelligence, it was indeed very convincing...
Duan looked at her son's expression, analyzed it carefully, and finally dispelled her suspicions.
Before she spoke, she sighed slowly: "This matter is a long story and involves so many things that I don't even know where to start..."
Wei Shuyi showed a patient expression that was inconsistent with his heart: "Mom, just take your time."
Just when he thought his mother was going to lay the groundwork, he heard her say: "Actually, when I was studying at the eldest princess Chongyue's house, the person I saw most of the time was the eldest princess's younger brother, Prince Li. effect."
Wei Shuyi's expression suddenly became confused.
Very strange…
He has obviously heard every word, and they are just ordinary and straightforward expressions, but why is the sentence composed of them so difficult to understand?
Duan: "If I say this, you will understand."
Wei Shuyi: "My son seems to understand but not understand..."
"Then you are nothing more than that." Duan glanced at him contemptuously: "Isn't it time that you used to rely on your own talent to laugh at others for not understanding the content of Sir's lectures?"
"Mother..." Wei Shuyi smiled hard: "At this juncture, there is no need to bother teaching your son how to be a good person."
Along the way, he has deeply reflected on his life as a human being.
Duan seemed to be in a good mood: "It's fun and educational, just a side trip."
Cai added: "What's more, what I said is not nonsense, but the truth."
"Mother..." Wei Shuyi asked in confusion: "Prince Li Xiao, isn't he the former Crown Prince? Why did mother call him Princess Chongyue's younger brother, Prince Li Xiao?" This was the most bizarre sentence of his mother's. A strange sentence.
Narrating this way seems to put "Prince Li Xiao" in the position of object, while "Princess Chongyue" is the subject of the conversation.
"No." Mrs. Duan shook his head and said with a silent and serious expression: "Prince Li Xiao is the prince Li Xiao of the eldest princess's house. He is not the same person as the prince Li Xiao known to the world."
Wei Shuyi's expression was frozen, and he thought quickly in his mind and asked: "The person in the residence of Princess Chongyue is the prince Li Xiao... Then where is Princess Chongyue?"
"Princess Chongyue is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
After Duan finished speaking, Wei Shuyi suddenly stood up.
He had always been calm and indifferent, but for him, such an action was considered a gaffe.
"Mother is saying..."
Duan's voice was filled with emotion: "From about the age of eight or nine, Li Xiao has always been disguised as the eldest princess when she appears in public."
There was a "boom" in Wei Shuyi's mind, like a strong wind sweeping through the mountains.
He has thought about hundreds of possibilities these days, just like tributaries, but each tributary will always be blocked by the mountain wall when it reaches the middle of the river, and can no longer move forward... But at this moment, these tributaries suddenly merged into one, surging. In the mountains, it suddenly surged down from the high mountains, falling as magnificently as a waterfall.
Standing under the waterfall, he finally got a glimpse of the complete face of the green mountain.
The clouds and mists dispersed, and the green mountains were deep and lush. The top of the mountain reached straight into the sky, and it was so majestic that it was breathtaking.
Wei Shuyi stood there, with no doubts and no words for a moment.
But he could hear every word of his mother's words clearly: "...Prince Li Xiao is frail and sick and has never recovered. He lives in the eldest princess's palace and rarely sees people. The people who serve and take care of him are all insiders like me."
After a long while, Wei Shuyi found a trace of his thoughts: "Then...does the late emperor know?"
Duan sighed vaguely: "In order to reassure me, Your Highness told me once that the late emperor probably knew..."
About?
That is the meaning of not knowing on the surface, but clearly in reality.
Wei Shuyi Jing listened to his mother and said: "I vaguely remember that at that time, the late emperor seemed to be more interested in the third prince raised in the palace of Queen Changsun, but the third prince's temperament was revealed... As he grew older, the competition for the princes from various factions became more and more intense. …”
"The late emperor probably wanted to use His Highness to block the open and hidden arrows for the Third Prince at first, so that His Highness could be the Third Prince's whetstone and pave the way for the Third Prince."
When Duan said this, there was a hint of subtle ridicule and relief: "But the late emperor underestimated His Highness and His Highness's mother, and overestimated his own control. The subsequent situation gradually became out of his control."
The third prince died unexpectedly, and then even he himself died suddenly. He didn't even have time to leave a clear word, or he left, but there was no chance for the news to spread out of his dormitory.
Following these words, Wei Shuyi's mind was dragged to the palace affairs many years ago.
So, the glorious Crown Prince in the eyes of the world is just a sword forged by the late emperor for another son?
Logically speaking, such a knife would either be melted in the flames of war, or destroyed by party strife... But this knife became sharper and sharper, and escaped the control of the person who forged it.
She always knew clearly that she was being used by the late emperor, but she took advantage of this use to refine herself and make herself above tens of millions of people.
This is really, really amazing.
At this moment, thinking of all that she had experienced, Wei Shuyi could only make such an ordinary comment.
Then he didn't know what he thought of, and his expression suddenly became slightly startled. He looked at his mother and asked, "So, the person who went to Beidi to get married...should be someone else?"
Duan's voice was soft and hoarse: "No, it's also Your Highness."
When the words fell, Mrs. Duan lowered his head and burst into tears.
Wei Shuyi suddenly fell silent.
I see.
It turns out that the person who put an end to war disasters for Da Sheng and the person who went to Beidi himself to give Da Sheng a three-year chance to recuperate were always the same person.
But the world never knew it, and neither did he.
For a woman who has made unparalleled achievements as a woman and ascended to the position of crown prince, what she experienced during those three years in Beidi... I'm afraid it can't be described as bearing the humiliation and bearing the heavy burden.
Wei Shuyi's eyebrows and the fingers in his sleeves were slightly raised, and there was a dull pain and indescribable shock in his heart.
Knowing that the person he admired was not a man, he should have felt relieved and happy, but at this moment he suddenly knew that all the heavy past was burdened by her alone, and he felt that this truth was cruel and dark in his heart.
But this cruelty is accompanied by indomitable Xuanhe. In this darkness, the most noble soul grows.
Wei Shuyi's mind was in turmoil. He raised his eyes and looked outside the slightly opened window lattice, where a dark green banana leaf poked out.
He suddenly thought idly, the world's affairs affected the overall situation. If she hadn't protected the Dasheng River again and again, this banana bush might not have the chance to grow here, swaying in the spring breeze, and receiving sunlight. The gift came into his eyes again.
"Mother." Wei Shuyi stared at the banana bushes and said as if in a trance: "I have read so many books. I claim that I have read all the people's books and am knowledgeable, but I never knew that such a person existed in this world."
Hearing this, Mrs. Duan stood up suddenly as if she had just woken up from a dream. She didn't even bother to wipe away her tears. She walked up to her son and asked him in shock: "Zi Gu, could it be that you...really still have admiration for His Highness?" What does it mean?”
She had tried to ask before, but Wei Shuyi had never admitted it directly.
But at this moment, he said frankly: "Go back to mother, yes."
Duan's vision went dark for a while, and she felt that things in the world had gone too far to deceive others: "This..."
How could she be the mother-in-law of His Highness, and how could His Highness... look down on such a disgusting son of hers?
Mrs. Duan cried bitterly: "...What can we do?"
"It doesn't matter." Wei Shuyi said, "Anything is fine."
This is how he feels now, and probably for the rest of his life.
He regards himself as extraordinary and has an aloof nature. He is lucky enough to have seen the majesty of such green mountains, so he is bound to find it difficult to be moved by other scenery of vegetation.
"Thank you, mother, for informing me."
Wei Shuyi bowed to his mother, turned around and walked out.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Duan came to her senses and chased after him.
Looking at the lady with her head and hands covered with jewelry, Changji was astonished and felt that she was like a jewelry stall with legs. She didn't need to bring anything with her and could go directly to the West Market to sell her stall.
Duan looked at her son's back, sighed and told Changji: "Follow him quickly...see what he is going to do." (End of Chapter)
