Tyrant [Rebirth]

The queen mother coughed slightly, took a sip of tea from the teacup, pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and smiled kindly: "Wei Ji, the Ai family knows about it."

Chu Shaoyang was taken aback for a moment: "Grandmother...knows?"

"Why don't you know?" The queen mother looked at Chu Shaoling and smiled, "Your elder brother mentioned him to me before, isn't it the guard who was injured in the matter of farming in the spring? The guard wanted to save your elder brother. Almost lost his life, the Ai family knows."

Chu Shaoyang was still a little reconciled, and smiled: "I said, why is the elder brother so good with that guard? I heard that the elder brother stayed at the Qin Palace for the first time yesterday, and he also took that guard with him."

"That's natural." Chu Shaoling remained calm, "Wei Ji is the first-class guard by my side. After the mansion is built, it is natural to let him take a good look at the precautions everywhere."

Chu Shaoling lightly stroked the jade pendant on his waist, and smiled lightly: "Fourth brother knows that there are always cats and dogs around me looking for death. If you don't take strict precautions, you may be caught and bitten by those cats and dogs." One mouthful can't kill people, but it's disgusting."

Seeing Chu Shaoyang's angry face, Chu Shaoling felt even more contented. He leaned on the soft pillow with a hand stove and smiled and said, "Every time I talk about this, I have to thank the emperor's grandmother. Those silver coins, otherwise the palace would not be so solid, my grandson took a closer look last night, and the courtyard walls are all two feet high, very solid."

"You live outside alone, how can the Ai family feel relieved." The queen mother sighed, "The Ai family just said that you will live in the palace for another year. Why are you so anxious?"

Chu Shaoling smiled reassuringly: "Sooner or later, I will move out."

The Empress Dowager seemed to have forgotten about Wei Ji just mentioned, and asked about other places in the mansion, but Chu Shaoyang couldn't intervene. Hearing the two talking awkwardly, he said after a while: "Grandmother... Grandson is still here today?" I didn't go to pay my respects to my father."

The Queen Mother nodded and smiled, "Go."

Chu Shaoyang knelt down.

After Chu Shaoyang left, the Empress Dowager was silent for a moment, fiddled with the stove in her hand, and said for a while, "What's the matter with you, Yang'er?"

Chu Shaoling sneered: "My grandson doesn't know either."

What Chu Shaoyang said just now obviously thought that he didn’t know, so he told himself. The queen mother would rather Chu Shaoyang hide it from herself in every possible way for Chu Shaoling than this. It's also meant to protect the brothers, but what happened just now?Was Chu Shaoyang tearing down Chu Shaoling's stage in front of him in a hurry?

Even if this is the case in front of myself, wouldn't it be more tit-for-tat in front of the emperor and in government affairs?

The queen mother has the unique sensitivity of a woman. She had already felt it before, but now she is more and more sure that there must be some misunderstanding between the two brothers.

Although Chu Shaoyang's incident just now dissatisfied the queen mother, the old queen mother still persuaded: "A brother of the same mother, what can't be explained? Yang'er is still young and doesn't understand things. Don't bother him, and give way more often. He said, if there is any misunderstanding and quarrel, it’s fine for the two of them to talk together, but it’s not allowed to hide such schemes, you know?”

Chu Shaoling sneered in his heart, in his last life, why didn't he think so?It’s just that Chu Shaoyang’s heart is too big, and his repeated tolerance will only make him worse. If it’s okay, it’s not that Chu Shaoyang offended Wei Ji just once, and it’s impossible for Chu Shaoling to bear it.

Chu Shaoling smiled: "Sun Er saved it."

Chu Shaoling has never killed Chu Shaoyang, and he is somewhat concerned about the queen mother. These years, the queen mother has spent a lot of thought on him. There are many things that Chu Shaoling hopes to do after sending the queen mother, but it depends on whether others are like this. Hurrying to find death, Chu Shaoling is cold and heartless, and no one would care if he really turned his face.

"Speaking of it...the Ai family has indeed heard about your bodyguard recently." The queen mother lightly held the sterling silver hand stove in her hand, and looked up at Chu Shaoling, "You have an idea, so the Ai family has never given it to you." Choose a concubine, Ling'er, you have to know it well, no matter it is now or in the future, the Ai family doesn't want to see you favoring anyone, let alone a man."

Chu Shaoling got up and sat next to the queen mother, bringing some intimacy between the grandparents and grandchildren in a place where no one was there. The queen mother smiled at Chu Shaoling's expression: "Did the Ai family talk about it in your heart?"

Chu Shaoling lowered his head and chuckled: "Is there anything else that can be hidden from the imperial grandmother, since the imperial grandmother knows about Wei Ji, she should also know... Grandson hasn't given him anything now, he is just a first-class man now. The position of guard, who only favors this matter, is really not considered..."

This is also the reason why the Empress Dowager has always tolerated Wei Ji. At least on the surface, the old empress did not realize how much Chu Shaoling loves Wei Ji. The guard has been with Chu Shaoling for almost a year. On weekdays, when Wei Ji comes out, he is no different from an ordinary bodyguard. He does everything that he should do, and he is conscientious in everything. I can't even pick it out, even if the Queen Mother deliberately takes some mistakes and beats them, she can't find him.

Chu Shaoling’s foreshadowing started a year ago and it has gradually yielded results. Chu Shaoling promoted Wei Ming and Wei Zhan on the surface, and now the Wei Mansion has slowly entered the circle of the imperial city’s dignitaries, gradually showing signs of recovery. It's just that others only saw how Wei Zhan was promoted by Chu Shaoling and Zi Junhou's mansion, and now he is also Wei Zhan who is a son-in-law, and Wei Zhan naturally has to pay corresponding rewards while enjoying the glory, for example, serving as a protective umbrella for Wei Ji .

Wei Zhan has been promoted again and again, and now he has become a son-in-law again. Compared with Wei Ji, the younger brother who is a bodyguard, he is too inconspicuous. This is exactly what Chu Shaoling wants to see. He wants to promote the status of the Wei family for Wei Ji. But Wei Ji should not be responsible for this responsibility. Although Wei Ji lost some power on the surface, what he got in exchange was his peace and safety. At least when Chu Shaoling was unable to control everything, Chu Shaoling would not let Wei Ji stand in front of others. Come.

Chu Shaoling took the queen mother's hand, and said with a soft smile: "At first, I thought the boy was new, but now...but that's it, it's not interesting to try it a few times. After a few years, when he grows up, his grandson will send him away." Let it out, and marry the concubine in the future, it will be inconvenient to have him by your side."

Chu Shaoling's words entered the Queen Mother's heart, and the Queen Mother nodded and smiled: "That's it... You have a lot of things to do every day, and it stands to reason that there is a favored person around you to relieve your boredom, so you shouldn't talk too much, it's just that everything has a degree , since you understand the truth so well, I feel more at ease."

Chu Shaoling nodded, and chuckled lightly: "It's just that I didn't expect such a small thing to be used as a talking point. It's really..."

"Don't worry about it." The Queen Mother patted Chu Shaoling's hand, "You are going to do great things, so many pairs of eyes are looking at you, and someone will catch you and make a fuss about a slight mistake. This is also a common thing. Look. Look at your father, there are not many people who are advised by those censors on weekdays? Since you like this Weiji, you should keep him by your side first."

The matter of Wei Ji finally passed the clear road in front of the Queen Mother, Chu Shaoling felt a lot more relaxed, and nodded: "Thank you, Grandmother, for your compassion."

After talking about this matter, the grandparents and grandchildren talked about the affairs of Duke Jingguo's mansion again, and chatted slowly...

"The king of Qin really said that?" Chu Shaoyang in the Zhaoyang Palace laughed lightly when he heard what the palace guards overheard, "He would fool the emperor's grandmother...but the emperor's grandmother believed him in everything!"

The palace man lowered his head: "King Qin really said that, and he said that now he thinks that person is meaningless, and after two years after marrying the princess, he will release the guard, saying that there is such a person around him who is not good-looking, and the future Princess Qin Can't promise either."

Chu Shaoyang sneered: "Others don't know, but I know. He and that guard in the Qianshou Palace wished they could all be treated like husband and wife. It's meaningless to say anything... Well, this is what Chu Shaoling said."

Chu Shaoyang smiled coldly, it was Chu Shaoling who said that he didn't take Wei Ji seriously, hehe... I don't know how that person from Bitaoyuan would feel when he heard this?

The next day when Fu Yi returned home, the young couple greeted the emperor together and received some rewards. The emperor stayed in the guards to talk, and Fu Yi went back to the harem alone to greet the queen mother.

Fu Yi knelt down and kowtowed three times, got up, knelt down, kowtowed three times, got up, knelt down, and kowtowed three more times, the queen mother quickly ordered her mother to help Fu Yi up, and pulled Fu Yi to her side to have a closer look Look, Fu Yi is wearing a pair of brocade jacket with fox and phoenix fur and bright red sprinkling gold today, and a few red gold phoenix hairpins on her head. She is more gorgeous than when she was in the palace. The queen mother likes it, pull Holding Fu Yi's hand, he asked carefully: "How is the son-in-law treating you well? Are the people in Weifu respectful to you?"

Fu Yi lowered her head and smiled lightly: "The son-in-law is very good, he treats me very considerately, and the people in the house are also good. There is an old lady in the family, and the wives are all kind people."

"That's fine." The queen mother patted Fu Yi's hand and said with a low laugh, "The Ai family is only waiting for your good news."

Fu Yi's face flushed, she bowed her head and said nothing, the Queen Mother smiled: "This child is already married, so why be embarrassed..."

"What are you talking about?" Chu Shaoling went into the inner room to greet the Queen Mother. Fu Yi got up and was about to kowtow, but Chu Shaoling hurriedly stopped him, "Is there anyone else? Don't do the three-kneeling and nine-kowtow thing. The fourth sister just came back, we should still Sit down and talk."

Chu Shaoling sat down and laughed softly: "I remember that today is the day when the fourth sister returns home, and I saw it when I came here. How are you doing in Wei Mansion?"

Fu Yi smiled and nodded: "Very well, although there is no luxury in the palace, it is still well-clothed and well-fed. The people in the family are very respectful to me, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable from time to time."

"My younger sister is a princess, they have awe in their hearts." Chu Shaoling asked carefully about the situation in the Wei Mansion, and felt relieved, "I have prepared some things for the fourth younger sister, all of which are rare things you liked before. Take them back together."

If Chu Shaoling didn't make a move, it would be fine, if he made a move, it would be a big deal, Fu Yi's marriage was well arranged from beginning to end, Fu Yi felt grateful in her heart, and quickly said: "Brother has already spent so much for me, why should I want more from him?" .”

Chu Shaoling smiled: "I'm relieved that you can live a good life. I will tell him at Wei Zhan's place. Now I just wait for you to blossom and bear fruit. My troubles will bear fruit."

Fu Yi lowered her head shyly, the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing: "You and Ai's family thought of a place, haha..."

At the same time, in Bitao Garden, Wei Ji received an endless letter.

The letter was seen by the snow-sweeping palace servants. The tightly sealed envelope only had the words "Wei Ji" written on it. The palace attendants were illiterate, so when they showed it to Wang Muhan, Wang Muhan thought about it and handed it to Wei Ji. .

Originally, Wang Muhan wanted to send it directly to Chu Shaoling, but then he thought that Wei Ji did not hide everything from Chu Shaoling, and it was obviously a letter to Wei Ji, so he stopped it and gave it to Chu Shaoling. In my heart, it is not unreasonable for Wang Muhan to be able to serve by Queen Ling's side for more than ten years, and to be the chief eunuch by Chu Shaoling's side for these years.

After Wei Ji received the letter, he opened it in front of Wang Muhan. Wei Ji was not stupid. The contents of the letter sent in this way would definitely not be any better. I wrote down the words of Empress Dowager Wei and Chu Shaoling in Ci'an Palace yesterday.

From the empress dowager admonishing Chu Shaoling not to favor her exclusively, to when Chu Shaoling said that he would send Wei Ji away after marrying Princess Qin, he wrote down everything in detail, and Wei Ji spread the letter in front of Wang Muhan to read it. He couldn't help but glanced twice, and immediately changed his face, and said hastily: "Master Wei, don't trust me! I don't know where some dirty people made this up..."

Wei Ji looked at it carefully, but his face didn't change.

But Wang Muhan was complaining in his heart, what would he do if he was so smart, just withhold the letter and give it to Chu Shaoling, Wang Muhan himself said that it was fabricated, but in fact he already believed it in his heart, if there was no such thing, who would have thought of writing it down one by one Come down to show Wei Ji, what a vicious thought!

Wang Muhan watched the two of them come to this day, fearing that something might go wrong, he hastily persuaded him softly: "Lord Wei, please don't take it to heart, who knows who got such an unruly letter? It's reasonable for me It shouldn't be sent to the adults, just throw it into the smoked cage, Lord Wei..."

"What did Wang Gonggong say?" Wei Ji looked at the letter carefully, as if he wanted to see something from it, "This must not be burned, this is..."

Wei Ji carefully moved the paper closer, sniffed it lightly, and said, "Pine incense ink, this is specially made for the princes in the Faxin Academy."

Wang Muhan didn't react for a moment, he was stunned and said: "What did Master Wei just say?"

Wei Ji said in a low voice: "Although the smell is very weak, you can still smell it. This is the rosin ink specially used by the princes. It is only available in the Faxin Academy. It is..." Wei Ji probably knew in his heart who wrote it. But I didn't dare to say anything without any solid evidence, so I just said, "Let's hand it over to His Highness for investigation when His Highness comes back. This person dared to record the daily life of the Queen Mother and His Highness privately. His heart is to be punished. Just come back and let His Highness deal with it." .”

Wang Muhan nodded, but still couldn't help asking: "Master Wei... don't you feel sad after reading this?"

Wei Ji was a little shy, Wang Muhan knew all about him, His Highness...was too kind to him, and he couldn't hide it from the people in Bitao Garden, Wei Ji blushed a little sweetly in his heart, and shook his head: "Come back Let's see how His Highness handles it." After finishing speaking, he went back to the study and continued to read the homework that Zhang Lifeng had left for him.

Wei Ji didn't lie to Wang Muhan, he really didn't take it to heart, not to mention that it may not be true, even if Chu Shaoling really told the Queen Mother about himself, so what?

The more Chu Shaoling pretended not to care about him, the more he cared.

His Highness has not reached the position where he can be free from scruples. Before that, Chu Shaoling had already given him enough protection and love.

Wei Ji even felt strange, why did someone send this to him to see, was it to make himself angry with His Highness?How is that possible? !Not to mention that Chu Shaoling said this to protect himself, even if Chu Shaoling wanted to kill him... Wei Ji thought about it, he would only thank him.

Let him not believe in Chu Shaoling's love for him, not believe in Chu Shaoling's real love for him, but let him believe in Chu Shaoling's perfunctory words to the Queen Mother, Wei Ji shook his head in disbelief, this person treats himself as a fool what?

The more Wei Ji thought about it, the more he felt that the letter was incomprehensible, so he lowered his head and continued to look at the art of war.

At this time, Chu Shaoyang, who was full of expectations in the Zhaoyang Palace, probably would not understand in his whole life. Wei Ji would never doubt or misunderstand Chu Shaoling.
