Reborn my man

Chapter 22: Xiao Shizi

When the Dragon Boat Festival comes, the people of the entire Dasheng Dynasty are shrouded in joy and celebration of the festival. Every place has its own customs and habits to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, but this year the Dragon Boat Festival in the palace is relatively vague and dull.

A series of incidents happened in the court, because the Xiyu Kingdom was constantly harassing the Dasheng border in the western border, Emperor Wu had already expressed his intention to send troops to the court in front of the court officials, and the person he planned to be in command was a few years ago. Wei Wang Xiao Weihong who came back from Beijing.

Xiao Weihong was only 26 years old, but the concubines in the palace had already married several concubines, and none of them had any heirs. Emperor Wu didn't know what An's thoughts were, and he actually obeyed the wishes of his beloved concubine Sun Guifei. It was ordered before that Xiao Weihong, the great grandson of the East Palace, would be adopted under the name of King Wei.

I heard that the reason why Concubine Sun Guifei wanted to adopt Xiao Qiansheng to the King of Wei was because Prince Xiao Weikun personally mentioned it a few days ago.

In this way, Xiao Qiansheng is no longer the grandson of the Eastern Palace, but only the eldest son of the Prince Wei's mansion, his status is only a world away, and only he knows what the prince wants to abandon his son.

When Emperor Wu's imperial decree came to the East Palace, Xiao Qiansheng was teaching his younger brother Yuesheng to play wooden birds. The chief eunuchs in the palace were standing in the already sweltering palace with the imperial decree in their hands. Xiao Weikun did not bring his concubines out. I heard that Early in the morning, he accompanied his concubine, side concubine Sun, to play outside Beijing.

Behind Xiao Qiansheng was only a personal bodyguard, Wen Zimu, who knelt on the ground with his four-year-old brother, and accepted the order with a blank expression.

Xiao Yue was still young, but since the death of his mother and concubine, he has not been very talkative. He has changed from mischievous to taciturn. He heard the imperial decree from the palace, although he didn't quite understand what it meant. , but he also knew that since his elder brother Xiao Qiansheng would hold his hand and tremble, it must not be a good thing.

He and his elder brother, it seems that nothing good has happened since the death of the concubine mother.

"Brother," Xiao Yuesheng pursed his lips, and was picked up by Xiao Qiansheng from the ground. His cold and handsome face looked at the yellow in Xiao Qiansheng's hand, and he still couldn't help asking in a low voice: "What did the big eunuch say?" What is the meaning of the imperial decree? Why is my brother called Xiao Shizi, aren't we all the little highnesses of the East Palace?"

Just as Xiao Yuesheng asked the words, he saw Wen Zimu, who was standing behind his brother with a gentle and doting face, approaching his brother quietly, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "Hey, I will always be with you, whether it's the East Palace or the Wei Palace..."

Wen Zimu's tone sounded too gentle and pampering to Xiao Yuesheng.When Wen Zimu said these words, his brother's stern face became calm and gentle.

"Look, Yuesheng, this decree is actually a lock." Xiao Qiansheng turned his head and smiled at Wen Zimu, who was protecting him behind him, his thin lips were rolled up, and the cold and complacent light on his face made him laugh. Xiao Yuesheng was incredible.

Xiao Yuesheng asked in a daze: "What lock?"

"A lock that allows my brother to fly freely from now on!" Xiao Qiansheng's voice was delicate and his smile was deep. He raised the imperial decree he was holding in his hand, and smiled ironically at his confused brother. "The sky is high, let the birds fly, you can only gain if you give up, little guy."

Xiao Yuesheng swore that the elder brother who was smiling in front of him at this moment was like a brilliant light, very eye-catching, but on the palm of his head, he felt his trembling and coldness again.The young child does not know whether his brother is happy or sad.

"But brother, what does that Xiao Shizi mean?" The child is still struggling with his own problems. His world is too simple, and the people and things around him are always changing. The only thing he can grasp is his relatives. Brother and his adoptive mother who loves him.

"Xiao Shizi is..." Xiao Qiansheng's smile suddenly faded, and he repeated a few words "yes, yes" in a daze, but he couldn't say what it was. into his arms.

"Yuesheng, one day my brother will come back to you. Before that, you must protect yourself well!"

"Brother..." Xiao Yuesheng opened his blurred eyes in confusion, blinked and then nodded. In fact, he really wanted to ask his brother what this meant. Isn't he always by his side?

The adoptive mother of the two, Concubine Wang, suddenly ran out of the palace with a few court ladies, rushed to Xiao Qiansheng's side, took his hand and wailed loudly.Xiao Yuesheng could only see his dignified adoptive mother, Wang, who couldn't help wiping away tears, and cried out in his mouth: "Qiansheng, oh my poor child..."

His heart twitched, Xiao Yuesheng didn't know why, but he was so frightened that he hugged his brother and cried loudly.Xiao Qiansheng comforted his adoptive mother and younger brother very calmly, without saying anything.

That night, Xiao Qiansheng, the emperor's grandson of the East Palace, moved to Wei Wang's mansion according to the order, and became the son of Wei Wang from then on.Wei Wang Xiao Weihong, who is now just a wealthy prince, came to pick up his adopted son in person.

Xiao Qiansheng didn't let his younger brother come, he was afraid that he would cry too. In the entire East Palace, only side concubine Wang came to see him off with tears in his eyes, and he left with only his bodyguard Wen Zimu.

"Wang Niangniang," before leaving, Xiao Qiansheng knelt on the ground with a slender figure like a lone pine, and said goodbye to his adoptive mother in a low voice: "Please treat my younger brother Yuesheng well, the grace of raising him, and the grace of rebirth! In the future, we brothers I will definitely repay your kindness.”

Concubine Wang couldn't help wiping her tears, and choked up endlessly: "Don't worry, child, I have already regarded Yuesheng as my own son." Originally, her adopted son would always be by his side, but she didn't expect it to be only half a year Before long, he was taken away by Emperor Wu's decree.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not dote on her, and Concubine Wang gave all her hopes and love to these two adopted sons. She felt that they were all her hopes for her lonely life in the future.Qian Fengyi, who used to be domineering and domineering in the East Palace, has fallen out of favor and been abolished, and a more favored Concubine Sun has appeared.

Concubine Sun is the niece of the noble concubine in the palace, unlike Qian Fengyi, this time she entered the palace less than two months ago, she was pregnant, how could Concubine Sun not pay attention to this child.Looking around, there are only two emperor's grandsons in the East Palace, among them the eldest son Xiao Qiansheng who is most likely to be established as the emperor's grandson.

Originally Xiao Qiansheng was adopted under her name, so he is also the grandson of Wang Guogong's family, so he can be regarded as a noble descendant.But now that he is under the name of King Wei, he is an offshoot of the imperial family. There is nobility, but there are differences after all. It is hard to say that he will have a great future in the future.

Concubine Sun Gui would quickly agree to bring this matter up in front of Emperor Wu, Concubine Wang didn't find it strange, since the grandson of the Great Emperor in the East Palace was gone, the child in Concubine Sun's belly would naturally be more precious.But it was the prince Xiao Weikun who made Concubine Wang's heart cold. She never thought that he would not even want her own eldest son.

Watching her former adopted son leave, Concubine Wang tightly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, for fear that she would cry uncontrollably.

As soon as Xiao Qiansheng left the East Palace and moved into the Wei Palace, it has been more than half a month since he bid farewell to the emperor and grandson and became the heir of the Wei Palace. During these half months, except for the change of identity and residence, his daily life is actually not much Variety.But one day, he suddenly heard from King Wei that the side concubine Sun of the East Palace was pregnant.

Emperor Wu attached great importance to the pregnancy of the daughter of the Sun family, and when he heard the news, he passed down a decree that if Concubine Sun gave birth to a son, this son would be established as the grandson of the grandson of the Dasheng Dynasty, and would become the crown prince from then on.

Xiao Qiansheng was very calm when he heard these words. In fact, he already knew from various sources that Wei Wang Xiao Weihong had been debating whether he should tell him, but he himself pursed his lips and smiled to comfort him: "Uncle Wang that day Since you take pity on me and are willing to help me leave the Eastern Palace, don’t you still not understand what I mean today? Everyone in the Eastern Palace has nothing to do with me, except for my younger brother Yuesheng.”

"What he said back then was really right. Poor Sheng is a royal, and it really is." Xiao Weihong stared blankly at his nephew, who shared the same fate as him, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "Qiansheng, you can Don't be the second me."

Xiao Weihong knew that there was always a scar in his heart, a scar that had disappeared for a long time, but he was an unforgettable scar.Looking at his lonely nephew, he seemed to see himself as a child, and from the very beginning, he couldn't help caring for him and pity him.

So when his 12-year-old nephew approached him and asked him to adopt him as an adopted son, he was shocked, but he did not refuse.Xiao Qiansheng is a child with ambitions, he can tell, he is very clear about the ambitions in his heart, and he is even more aware that there is always a seed of hatred hidden in his heart, and he is willing to help him.

At the beginning, my nephew told him that as long as he asked the emperor to adopt his eldest son to him, his emperor would definitely agree. He didn't believe it. He felt that there was no one in the world who didn't cherish his own son. This son was still his. eldest son!But the fact is the fact, Brother Huang really did this.

Xiao Qiansheng pretended to be relaxed: "This matter was originally accomplished according to my own wishes. I feel very happy to be Uncle Wang's son!" If he doesn't want to give up and remember, then he will definitely not do this.

But no, Xiao Qiansheng sneered at himself, because he was acting affectionate.

"The Crown Prince's East Palace has long since lost my place. Instead of being ignored by the Crown Prince there, it is better to learn some real skills from Uncle Wang here." King Wei once sent troops to Xiyu when he was young, and returned with a big victory. Although he was a wealthy prince with no real power in Beijing, his prestige and soldiers were still there.

With a famous father who has no real ability, it is better to take refuge in an adoptive father who has a big chest, is upright and resolute!

Most importantly, Xiao Qiansheng found out that this Uncle Wang had a monstrous hatred for the man in the palace just like him.Maybe it's best for them to join hands and get what they need.According to his father's ability, even if he really has a day to inherit the throne, he will definitely not have a day to show his great ambitions.

"Qiansheng, will it be easier for you to enter my Wei Palace if you are so confident?" Xiao Weihong couldn't help laughing at himself: "At the beginning, your grandpa almost sent me to death row, but now he has controlled me in Beijing for so long. He always thought about sending me in command and going out to fight. The battlefield is ruthless in ancient times. Who knows what he is thinking. Maybe you think I can help you, but in fact, I can't help you at all?"

Xiao Qiansheng smiled softly: "Don't worry, Uncle Wang, let's take what we need."

He has always believed that there is only gain if there is sacrifice. From the perspective of others, Xiao Qiansheng was descended from the grandson of the emperor to the son of the prince, and he is afraid that he will be useless in this life.But he knows to put it to death to survive, and to retreat to advance.Today's forbearance is just to seek a promotion in the future!

Except for Xiao Weihong and Wen Zimu, no one knew that the adoption of this adopted son by the Wei Palace was brought up by Xiao Qiansheng himself behind the scenes.And he finally got what he wanted.But what makes Xiao Qiansheng feel strange is that Wei Wangshu has been living in the memories of the past, and what happened in his past?

At this time, the maid came over to refill some new tea, but she accidentally sprinkled some boiling water on Xiao Weihong's robe with shaking hands.Before Xiao Qiansheng could react, Xiao Weihong immediately blocked the tea with his hand, and then protected a jade pendant around his waist like a baby.

He reprimanded in a deep voice: "Why are you so careless, girl, if, if..." His voice was a little trembling, with pity, tension, and even grief all over the place.

"My lord, please forgive me! My lord, please forgive me!" The little maid was also negligent for a moment, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Xiao Weihong saw that the little palace maid was so frightened that she burst into tears, his heart softened, he waved her hand irritably to let her go down, he lowered his head and stared at the jade pendant in his palm, his handsome face was faintly filled with loss and pain, his deep and dark eyes His eyes seem to be crazy.

"Uncle Wang?" Xiao Qiansheng felt more and more strange in his heart. "Are you all right?"

Xiao Qiansheng looked at Uncle Wang's expression, and saw that his handsome brows were furrowed and his expression was too tense, he was holding the jade pendant around his waist, and there was deep pain in his eyes.

Xiao Qiansheng couldn't help but put his eyes on the jade pendant strangely, and he saw the two engravings of "King An".An Wang?He thought to himself, this seems to be Uncle Wang's adoptive father since he was a child.An Wang Xiao Shen, he died of illness ten years ago.

Xiao Weihong recovered from his absence, he stared blankly at Xiao Qiansheng's young and handsome face, and what lingered in his mind was the elegant back that had been echoing in his dreams for many years. People's hatred is so strong that it cannot be suppressed.

"Qiansheng," Xiao Weihong's expression was very firm, and his voice was low: "I will promise you all the things you said, and I will help you, but you must also remember that you promised me, the person I want, If you turn your hands into clouds and your hands into rain in the future, don't forget to give it to me!"

Xiao Qiansheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. "Yes, Uncle Wang."

Xiao Weihong couldn't help rubbing Xiao Qiansheng's head with a smile, and teased softly: "Now you are my adopted son, why can't you call me father?"

Xiao Qiansheng coughed twice, but smiled and said nothing.This is the only pride he has left. Even if he is abandoned by his biological father, he still doesn't want to admit that he is a person without his father's love.

"It's all the same..." Xiao Weihong smiled sadly, and murmured with sad eyes: "Uncle Wang back then was just like you, when he came to him, he refused to call him Father, who knows that now, he is no longer here..."

Xiao Qiansheng was startled, feeling a little elusive in his heart. "Uncle Wang, are you talking about Uncle An Wang?"

Xiao Qiansheng once heard people in the palace mention that King An was the youngest son of the late emperor. to this little son.

Unexpectedly, when the first emperor passed away, King An suddenly died of illness at a young age because of excessive grief.

Wei Wang Xiao Weihong's parents died since he was a child, and he was sent to An Wang's mansion to be raised when he was six years old. It was not until An Wang died of illness that he inherited his biological father's title.King An's royal vein was cut off so abruptly.

After the death of King An, the eldest son of the first emperor inherited his father's title and ascended the throne as emperor.Xiao Qiansheng even overheard the old nanny casually mentioning that the Uncle An Wang was more beautiful than a woman in appearance, and Emperor Wu's current favorite concubine Sun Guifei was about [-]% like him in appearance.

But no matter what, King An passed away for the new year, even Xiao Qiansheng only occasionally heard it mentioned by the older generation of palace people, and his grandpa, Emperor Wu, was even more strange, and no one was allowed to evoke the name of King An in his ears. , otherwise they will be severely punished.

"What I'm talking about is..." Xiao Weihong closed his eyes helplessly, sighed and stopped talking, his handsome face was full of fatigue and sadness.Shaking his head in pain: "Now he is probably the only one who knows about that matter and that person."

Mentioning this person, Wei Wang's young body seemed to burst into flames, his handsome face was gloomy, and his hatred was burning very fiercely.Xiao Qiansheng saw all this in his eyes, although he was surprised, he carefully kept his doubts in his heart.
