MTL - Rebirth of Glory and Splendour-Chapter 115 round
In the fourth year of Wanchang, Princess Hanshan declined, because she was the third princess to marry within four years. The people of the Shaofu were very familiar with getting married, and they didn't need to worry about it. Anyway, there were old rules.
I don't have a sister, only a younger sister, Princess Wei Nuo of Qinghe, but above Wei Nuo, there are three more princesses in the palace, namely Princess Huaiqing Wei Shi, Princess Ruyang Wei Ci, and then Princess Hanshan Wei Yu.
The three princesses are not the daughters of their father, their father is Wei Xuan, the eldest son of Emperor Renzong, the prince of Xiaoyi. If it wasn't for the assassination of Prince Xiaoyi, the throne of the Ninety-five Supreme would probably not have been his grandfather and father.
The father emperor highly respected the prince of filial piety, and after ascending the throne, all his three daughters were named princesses. Zongzheng Temple did not express any objection to the father's approach. With the example of Princess Leyi in front, it is really no big deal for the princess to upgrade the princess.
Princess Huaiqing and Princess Ruyang fell in the first and second years of Wanchang respectively, and their marriages were carefully selected by the father and father.
Just like Emperor Renzong, the father emperor is also a virtual harem, and there is no one else except my father, the queen. Coincidentally, Empress Xiaoren is a member of Jun's family, and my father's surname is also Jun.
During the reign of Emperor Renzong, there would occasionally be courtiers who did not have long-sighted eyes, and let the emperor accept his concubines and spread their branches and leaves. When I arrived at the father's place, there was simply no one to speak up. Compared with the emperor's grandfather who didn't even have a queen, the father's performance was already good.
Moreover, the grandfather has only one seedling of the father, the father, the elder brother and me, and Wei Jin's three sons. No matter how you look at it, it is enough. Whoever has nothing to eat and support, has to touch the father. Mildew.
To be honest, not to mention that the father has three sons, even if there is only one elder brother, I think it is enough.
My brother and I are identical twins. Except for the time of birth, which is a quarter of an hour apart, everything else is exactly the same. I heard from the nurse that when my brother and I were first born, the father, the emperor, saw us and immediately ordered someone to tie a small red rope around the ankle of the emperor, saying that our brothers looked too alike. He looked dizzy. If he held it wrong in the future, I was afraid that he would not be able to tell it apart. It would be safer to make a mark.
If we are not the eldest son and second son of the father emperor, it is really a mistake, and it does not matter, but the father emperor is the crown prince, who is his eldest son, the grandson of the Dayan Dynasty, this question It is not to be underestimated.
In the history of the Dayan Dynasty, there is only one precedent for conferring a grandson on the ground, that is, Sun Weiyi, the eldest son of Emperor Chengzong, and my brother is the second. I am the second son of the crown prince. As a rule, the county king cannot be canonized until he is ten years old. However, the grandfather of the emperor may think that the emperor's brother is a grandson. It looks good, so he made an exception for me and made me the king of Linjiang.
Before I was three years old, I hardly felt the identity difference with the imperial brother. We ate together and slept together. It is no exaggeration to say that we are inseparable. The elders are called Huangxiong Tuantuan, they call me Yuanyuan, and the palace people call us His Royal Highness.
At the New Year's Eve feast of Zhenghe three years, my father said that I was no longer an ignorant child. I couldn't be held by a nursing mother in front of the emperor's grandfather like the previous two years. .
I nodded ignorantly and asked habitually, "Where's my brother?" I want to go by myself, so is my brother.
I didn't think I asked any deep questions, but Dad was stunned, and after a while he said, "Yuanyuan, go by yourself, not with Tuantuan." But Dad didn't tell me why we weren't together before. It's not like that.
That night, the emperor's brother and father were separated from the emperor's grandfather, and together with him, they accepted the kneeling and worship of the civil and military officials.
I don't quite understand why this is, but I can vaguely feel the weight of the identity of the emperor.
The days after that were not much different from before, and the emperor and I were still together all day. Dad had a little sister, and we moved to the imperial grandfather's Zichen Palace together. Dad gave birth to a little sister, and we moved back together, and we never separated.
Our first time was when we were six years old. In that year, my brother and I entered the palace school to study.
But before entering the palace school, the imperial grandfather asked the imperial brother to move to the Zichen Palace again, and this time he was alone. I was reluctant to be separated from the royal brother. I cried in front of the father and father for a long time, but it was useless, and the royal brother moved away.
At that time, I naively thought that the emperor just moved away for a while and would come back soon.
It was only after I grew up that I realized that it was a complete divergence in the life paths of my brother and I, and there was no possibility of overlapping.
Three hundred years after Dayan established the country, there are countless princes and grandsons, and the life experience of my father is the most legendary. During the reign of Emperor Xingzu, the grandfather fought against Zongzheng Temple for many years in order to make his father's name on the jade plate and become the heir of the Qin king.
His grandfather was the second son of Emperor Xingzu, and he had always had a close relationship with his eldest brother, Emperor Renzong. Therefore, for a long time, his greatest expectation for his father was to be a qualified prince.
However, the abolished emperor did the opposite, murdered his elder brother, and framed his younger brother. The grandfather of the emperor held the will of Emperor Renzong to abolish the emperor and established himself.
His father did not grow up under the education of the prince. In order to exercise his ability to govern, his grandfather asked him to practice in the other five departments, except the Ministry of War, before he began to learn to lead the court.
When I came to the emperor's brother, the training method of the emperor's grandfather returned to normal. How did the emperors of the past dynasties raise the prince, and how he raised the grandson, first theory and then practice, almost hand-in-hand teaching, devoted countless efforts.
I am also studying in Gongxue. Like other students, I just listen to the lectures of the masters. The emperor is different. He also has a separate course, which occupies all his spare time. As for what he has learned specifically, I don't know.
Occasionally, I would envy the emperor, the feeling of being valued and expected by others, which I rarely have the opportunity to experience.
But more often, I will sympathize with him again. Brother Huang is so pitiful. There are things that I can’t learn every day, and I have no time to play. I don’t know if he regrets it. He came here a moment earlier than me. world.
I once thought about what it would be like if I were my brother, and in the end I was happy, but fortunately I wasn't.
I am lazy by nature, and I live by everything, and I never treat myself with high demands. Although the emperor's homework is much heavier than mine, he can handle it with ease, but I procrastinate to the end.
I can't imagine at all if our grandfather and father would collapse if we switched identities.
In the year of my imperial brother Yuanfu and I, the imperial grandfather abdicated and handed over the empire with the most complete territory since the Emperor Shenwu of the Kamigawa Dynasty to the imperial father.
Then our whole family moved together, the father moved to the Zichen Palace, the father moved to the Weiyang Palace, and the elder brother moved to the East Palace.
When I lived in Yongfu Palace before, my father used the East Palace as his office and never stayed overnight. The same is true now. He went to court, received ministers and reviewed memorials in Zichen Palace, but most of the night, he rested in Weiyang Palace.
Only the imperial brother, he lived alone in the East Palace, separated from the Zichen Palace and Weiyang Palace by the entire East Six Palaces.
At that time, I stopped crying like I did four years ago, because I knew it was useless.
After moving to the East Palace, the emperor had a crush on someone, although he never told anyone, not even the one he liked.
With the growth of age, apart from the looks, the emperor and I can't find any similarities, but our hearts are in harmony, but they have never changed, so the little secret of the emperor can't be hidden from me at all. Not happy at all.
I always thought that as the heir of the empire, the emperor could easily get everything he wanted. He didn't reveal his heart to the people he liked, probably because he felt that the time had not come. As a younger brother, I naturally wouldn't do anything superfluous , the emperor will be angry.
When Princess Hanshan's marriage was decided, I was completely stunned, unable to speak for a long time.
How could it be him? !
How could the object of Princess Hanshan's descent be Ruan Meng? !
Did something go wrong? !
Ruan Meng is the younger brother of Ruan Ning, the king of Nanyue. In his capacity, Shangzhu is a little reluctant. After all, South Vietnam is remote, and the status of the vassal king is equivalent to the king of the county, and he is only the younger brother of the vassal king. But Ruan Ning has a plus point, that is, he is the nephew of Prince Xiaoyi, and he and Princess Hanshan are aunts and sisters. The cousins and cousins have seen the right eye, and Concubine Chen Wang has no opinion on Ruan Meng, and the father will naturally not. Whatever you say, it's good to order marriage.
But as for the emperor, why didn't he even fight for it, and let go of the person he liked before his eyes.
I really couldn't figure it out, so I simply ran to ask the emperor, he obviously didn't expect me to ask such a question, and was immediately stunned.
"Brother, why don't you do anything when you talk?" Brother Huang said nothing, and I tugged at his sleeve and shook it.
He came back to his senses, looked straight at me, and sighed in a low voice for a long time: "What can I do?"
I became anxious, raised my voice and said, "If you don't say anything, how do you know that Ruan Meng doesn't want to be the prince and neijun?"
Ruan Meng has been in Yujing for more than three years. She has a very good relationship with the royal brother, which makes me jealous sometimes, but it is Princess Hanshan. The number of times the two of them have met can be counted on one hand. of.
Brother Huang hooked his lips and smiled suddenly, but the smile was cold and clear, and it didn't reach the bottom of his eyes at all.
I don't like the emperor's smile like that, I can't see the happy look at all, but it makes people feel a little distressed.
"Brother, stop laughing." I sat cross-legged beside the emperor and reached out to touch his face, "It's not good to laugh at all."
When the emperor heard the words, his smile froze on his face, and after a while he asked back, "How do you know I didn't say it?"
I lay on his shoulders and said confidently, "I just know that you can't hide it from me."
The imperial brother sighed and smiled bitterly: "He doesn't want to stay in the capital city, let alone in the palace."
This time, it was my turn to be dumbfounded. After a long while, Fang Na said: "If he doesn't want to stay, why does he still want to be the master?" The young mansion has even repaired Princess Hanshan's princess mansion, so Ruan Meng will not fight back. Let's take the idea of bringing the princess back to Jing'an City.
"Nanyue can take the lead in the southern border countries, and the close relationship with Dayan is the most important reason. My aunt has gone, and Ruan Ning doesn't want this relationship to fade away. The best way is to marry a princess and go home. Wouldn't it be nice."
"Since that's the case..." I said hesitantly, "Ruan Ning will definitely not object to your request to the emperor." Anyway, it's a marriage. Rather than marrying a princess who is not the emperor's own daughter, it's better to marry the crown prince. I secretly applaud my thoughts.
The elder brother laughed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Of course I can ask the royal father for marriage, but elder brother Meng doesn't want to be trapped in the palace. If I force him, most of the time I will be resentful in the future, why bother, it's better to let go, at least There are friends who can do it.”
I widened my eyes and looked at the emperor in disbelief. Before coming to the East Palace, I knew that he liked Ruan Meng, but I didn't expect that he would like him to such an extent that he was reluctant to embarrass him. All of a sudden, I realized that I hated Ruan Meng, and I hated it to death.
Not only because he made the emperor sad, but in the emperor's heart, he was so important.
It is obvious that I and the emperor are inseparable, how can he take my position, it is too much.
On the wedding day of Princess Hanshan, the imperial brother congratulated himself with a flawless smile, and no one could see anything abnormal except me.
In the evening, when I returned to the East Palace, the imperial brother, who has always been very self-controlling, took me to get drunk together, and got very drunk.
In fact, I drank no less than the emperor's brother, but I didn't get drunk. Is this because the wine is not intoxicating and people are self-intoxicating.
While taking care of the royal brother, I scolded Ruan Meng in my heart. If it wasn't for him, my brother would not be so sad.
Brother Huang's wine is good, he sleeps obediently when he's drunk, doesn't even say a word when he's drunk, so it's not difficult to serve.
I sat cross-legged beside him, worried and joyful, indescribably tangled and complicated. I struggled for a long time and saw that there was no one around, and the emperor didn't intend to wake up for the time being, so I bent down and gently kissed his face, moving quickly and flustered.
I asked myself many times later, why did I do that at the time, and the answer was always three words, I don’t know.
I really don't know, it's an instinctive action of the body, without going through the brain at all.
After sitting up straight, I covered my face nervously and glanced around, but there was still no one around.
But the emperor's eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at me without blinking, with a daze and unknown inside.
I was so confused that I didn't know what to do, would the emperor misunderstand me and think that I had something wrong with him. Actually, I didn't think about anything, I just felt that he was sad, I wanted to hug him, kiss him, comfort him, I have no other intentions...
Just say this, don't say the emperor brother, even I am not convinced. They are not ignorant children anymore. There is no need to kiss and go, but I feel that I have been wronged if I have any thoughts about the emperor's brother.
Just when I was so anxious that I wanted to jump out of bed and apologize to Jing, the emperor closed his eyes again and went to sleep.
I let out a long sigh, and the big stone in my heart was put back in place, but my mind was blank.
After a long while, I gradually came to my senses, and when I recalled my previous actions, I was scared to death by myself.
I didn't dare to stay for long, so I ordered the palace servants in the East Palace to take good care of the royal brother and hurriedly fled.
The next day, when the emperor saw me, it was exactly the same as usual. I don't think he would remember what happened last night.
This is probably the best result, and I feel inexplicable disappointment while being fortunate.
Two years later, the elder brother got married, and Gu Yu, the eldest granddaughter of the Duke of Qi, was the crown princess.
It was night, and I was drinking alone against the moon in Yongfu Palace. Unaccompanied wine was bitter and astringent, and it was difficult to get drunk.
