172. Bandit Emperor (End) (1/2)

When Ji Xiaying got married, everyone was happy for him. The little prince was also happy at first, but soon he couldn't be happy anymore.

Because after his uncle got married, he didn't need a teacher anymore. Mr. Jin, who was said to be very talented by his father, became his tutor.

Mr. Jin was a very special tutor. Although he held the position of tutor, he only moved around in the palace. No one knew him except the people in the palace.

The little prince was used to being domineering. He was not afraid of these tutors since he was a child. Anyway, he was the prince, and the tutors didn't dare to punish him.

But Mr. Jin was different. He always had a stern face. If the little prince didn't listen, he would hit his chubby little hand that had never suffered.

The first time he was beaten, the little prince was unbelievable. He stared at his hand for a long time, and only reacted when the pain became more severe, and cried.

"I'm going to tell my father!"

After saying this, the little prince ran away crying.

The palace servant sent to serve the tutor was so scared that his face was covered with sweat. He hurriedly helped the tutor, who was pale but leisurely because of illness, to sit down, "Teacher Jin, the prince has never been beaten since he was born. You are really..."

"It's okay."

Teacher Jin drank a cup of tea, pursed his dry lips, and his face was still calm, "Your Highness will get used to it after being beaten."

The little prince rushed all the way to the place where his father was reviewing memorials in anger. He stopped at the door of the palace, rubbed his eyes after brewing his emotions, and went in with grievance.

He is the only child of Wei Mingyan and Ji Xiawan. He has always gone wherever he wants in this palace. The guards outside the door did not dare to stop him. They just watched the little prince dive into the arms of the emperor who was reviewing memorials.

"Father..."

The little prince looked like he had suffered a great injustice. He stretched out his little hand to show Wei Mingyan pitifully, "The Grand Tutor hit me with a stick, my hand hurts, father, look, it's all red."

The father he admired the most put down the pen in his hand, touched the little prince's head, and asked gently, "Miao'er, do you still remember what your uncle loved to bring you the most?"

The little prince's eyes lit up, "It's a sugar man!"

"What does your uncle bring you now?"

The little prince pursed his lips and said unwillingly, "It's such a thick book, I can't finish it."

He didn't understand why his uncle loved him so much in the past and always brought him some good things that were not available in the palace, but now he had to be with his father and mother, always forcing him to read those books.

"That's right."

Wei Mingyan smiled and tapped his son's chubby little face. He wanted to laugh when he saw his son's aggrieved look. "Miao'er, your uncle was as ignorant as you before. Now that he is sensible, your father brought Mr. Jin into the palace to teach Miao'er. When you are as sensible as your uncle, Mr. Jin will naturally not beat you."

The little prince understood and his eyes widened.

"Father, the Grand Tutor beat Miao'er, and your father didn't care?"

The wise and powerful emperor shook his head, "The Grand Tutor's duty is to teach you well, not to mention that Grand Tutor Jin himself is very talented. If I didn't think you were really naughty and didn't have time to teach you, I wouldn't bother him."

The little prince felt even more aggrieved when he was said to be naughty.

"Okay, go back to class quickly, Cheng An."

After coaxing the prince, Wei Mingyan called the guards who were waiting outside. The guards had small eyes, but they were very bright. When they came in, they lowered their heads slightly and waited for orders.

"Go, send the prince back, and tell the tutor that he is not in good health. If the prince is not sensible next time, let the people around him beat him, no mercy."

The disbelief in the little prince's eyes was about to overflow, but he didn't dare to disobey his father's wishes. He was carried out by Cheng An in grievance.

When he got outside, he patted the guards who were holding him, "Put me down, I will walk by myself."

Cheng An smiled, obediently put the little prince on the ground, and watched his small body walk forward with a huff. He didn't look like he was going to read a book, but like a general going to war.

He wanted to laugh, but coughed twice to hold back. He followed the little prince, thinking about what food to bring back to his wife after work. She just got pregnant and liked to eat sweet and sour food. He also had to go to the Mo Mansion. General Mo loved his sister very much. When he met her this morning, he told her that he had hired a new cook who was good at making sour food. He asked him to go to the mansion to get it and bring it to his wife. If his wife liked it, the cook would follow him to their mansion.

When the little prince arrived, the tutor was sitting comfortably on the chair specially given by the emperor. There was a black stone roasting next to him. The room was warm. He was reading a book in his left hand and eating the fresh fruit handed to him by the palace servant with his right hand. Then he saw the little prince with a swollen face coming into the room.

"Since your highness is back, you can continue to study."

The tutor Jin was warmed by the black stone next to him. He stood up, saluted, and sat down again.

It’s not that he lacks manners, it’s just that Master Jin has always been in poor health and would get tired if he stood for a long time, so Wei Mingyan specially gave him the privilege.

The little prince was so frustrated that he was about to sit down when he suddenly saw the fruit that the tutor was eating. His eyes lit up immediately, his little hands clenched, and he pursed his lips and said seriously, "The tutor taught that the higher the position, the more cautious one should be. Why did the tutor eat this fruit that came here on a fast horse in winter? I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent."

After he finished speaking, he felt a little proud, because he caught the tutor's handle and also because he could get a little revenge.

Teacher Jin put down the fruit in his hand and touched his long beard, "Your Highness, I also taught you, think deeply before speaking."

"Your Highness only saw me use this fruit, but do you know where this fruit comes from?"

"Your Majesty opened a garden and vegetable forest, and used manpower to make it spring all year round. The financial resources consumed were only a little, but it allowed the people of Jin to eat fresh fruits and vegetables in winter."

"These fruits of mine were given by your majesty."

The little prince was stunned. Why didn't he know about this?

But in his heart, his father is omnipotent. He can make all the people in the world have enough food to eat, and naturally he can also grow fruits and vegetables in winter. Since the master said so, then this matter is true.

Although he was not very willing, the little prince still bowed, "I misunderstood the master, please don't bother with me."

"How could it be."

Master Jin smiled freely, "Your Highness just needs to copy five large characters."

The little prince had a bitter face, but he did not complain this time. He sat obediently at his small table and copied with sighs.

While copying, he thought.

When he grows up, he will be as powerful as his father.

In the little prince's heart, his father is the most powerful person in the world. He can always easily solve the country's troubles one after another. It is said that before he was born, the people were all hungry and poorly clothed. It was not until his father ascended the throne that the situation was improved little by little.

He still remembered that during the Lantern Festival this year, his father and mother took him to the street. The people along the way were all dressed neatly and had smiles on their faces. The tutor said that this was a peaceful and prosperous era, and what he had to do was to protect the peaceful and prosperous era created by his father.

So, he had to study hard.

Eh...

The little prince sighed like a little adult. His father said that he would not give him any more brothers and sisters. He didn't even have a helper and could only face the tutor alone.

After class, the little prince returned to his bedroom and had to look at the memorials picked by his father with a bitter face.

His father said that since he was already grown up, he had to learn to handle government affairs as a prince. Every day, he would select some memorials from the day and give them to him. After he finished correcting them, he would check them.

Although there was no punishment for poor review, the little prince admired his father and was unwilling to see the disappointed look on his face, so he had to read the memorials bitterly every day. Fortunately, every time he reviewed 100 books, his father would promise him a small condition, that he could go out of the palace to play once after reviewing 300 books, which gave the little prince more hope.

After reviewing the memorials, he could go to his mother's palace to play. His mother's palace was always lively. His mother and aunt had been encouraged by his father to open shops outside the palace. When his mother made money for the first time, she happily hugged him and watched for a long time, saying that the imperial grandmother and aunt had a share, and the money they earned would fill the national treasury, and the father said that the small part would be kept for himself, but they discussed and discussed and opened an orphanage together.

His mother told him that his father was already very tired, and as his queen, she also had to help to keep the world together and share some of his burden.

The little prince agreed, but he felt that he was the one who was very tired. After all, his father and mother always took time to sneak out of the palace to play. His father even set up eight ministers to help him review memorials. He only needed to review the ones that the ministers could not decide. Yesterday, his father went to fish by slicing ice.

Only he could study and learn under the board of Master Jin all day long.

If he could have a younger brother, then his father would definitely take care of his younger brother and would have no time to take care of him.

The little prince looked forward to it, and when he had more and more memorials and Master Jin taught him more and more deeply, the neighboring country of the neighboring country came to fight.

Then they beat the people back.

The father only sent General Qing, and the group of people were beaten to a pulp. Not only did they send all kinds of precious treasures, but they also sent the prince as a hostage.

When the prince came, the little prince ran to watch curiously.

It is said that this emperor was also born by the queen, and he was the only legitimate son of the neighboring country. How could he be sent to their country?

He learned from Mr. Jin that every time a hostage was sent, it was a bastard's son.

After the little prince raised the question, Mr. Jin told him directly that it was because the emperor of the neighboring country had a more favored son. Even if he loved the prince when he was just born, people would change.

The emperor didn't want his favorite son to suffer, so he had to send this prince.

The little prince was scared. He had always hoped that he could have a brother, but it turned out that having a brother was such a terrible thing?

Then was his father not wanting brothers and sisters for his own good?

There were not many people of the same age in the palace. Although he was a hostage from an enemy country, the young prince could not help but approach him out of curiosity after his father allowed him to do so. The two of them got along unexpectedly well. After they got to know each other, the hostage could not help but persuade the young prince who was always looking at the textbooks with a sad face.

He said that in their country, only the princes who were most trusted by their father could learn what the young prince had learned since childhood, not to mention those memorials. If they were not trusted, the princes would not be able to get in touch with them until they were adults.

He said that the young prince felt that handling government affairs was a chore, but if it fell on them, they would be extremely happy.

Finally, the hostage said with bitterness that he really envied the young prince. His father had no other women except his mother, and even the child only wanted the young prince. He was not threatened by his brothers, was spoiled and raised, and was well taught. He was taught the way of being a monarch in a straightforward manner. Such a life, the hostage did not even dare to think about.

After all, in front of the throne, his brothers have been fighting each other. Although they are the young prince, they are more cruel than each other, as if they are not brothers, but mortal enemies.

From that day on, the little prince seemed to understand something.

His father and mother never had a second child, in fact, they were afraid of affecting him.

But he was not motivated at all, only complaining about homework and why he had to handle political affairs by himself. All his complaints were about his father's high expectations for him.

The little prince seemed to have grown up overnight. He stopped complaining and followed Master Jin to study and worked hard to become an excellent prince. When he came of age, no one expected that his father would pass the throne to him.

The prince became the emperor from then on.

And his father became the emperor, and took his mother to take a boat to inspect this great country.

Jin Taifu also resigned, saying that he was old and wanted to return to his mother to serve. The young emperor had never heard Taifu mention his family, and he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

The old man stroked his long beard and shook his head with a smile, "Your Majesty, why ask so much."

Until he left, the young emperor only knew that Jin Taifu's surname was Jin and that his father had saved his life. He didn't know anything else.

He had become the emperor and could find out, but he had grown up when he was angry at the old Taifu. He knew what the old man had taught him. His respect from the bottom of his heart made him suppress his curiosity and send Jin Taifu away respectfully.

When his father and mother boarded the ship, the imperial aunt and the little sister saw them off. Jin Taifu actually came too. The young emperor came forward to salute, and was pulled by his mother to talk. He glanced at his father and Taifu Jin, but couldn't hear what they were saying.

"Your Majesty."

Teacher Jin bowed to Wei Mingyan, "I have never thanked Your Majesty for saving my life."

"No need to be polite."

Wei Mingyan helped him up, "You are a talented person. You taught Xia Ying and Miao Er for me. I should thank you."

Thinking of these two unruly and talented disciples, Master Jin was relieved. He loved talents the most. Having these two disciples meant that his life was not saved in vain.

"Your Majesty, I have always wanted to ask how Your Majesty saved me when I swallowed gold in Miaocheng."

Wei Mingyan smiled, "It was not me who saved you, but the people you saved."

Teacher Jin showed doubts in his eyes, and then smiled freely, thinking that he had some secret recipe, so he stopped asking.

After seeing Wei Mingyan off, he wore loose clothes and smiled in the wind.

Your Majesty is right. Master Jin cannot live. Only my mother's son can survive.

I don't know whether the three disciples he taught can make up for his crime.

***

When Wei Qingniang was sixty years old, she was still in good health. Because her daughter and son-in-law were filial, and her grandchildren were happy, she was happy all day long and was a kind old lady.

Suddenly one day, she wanted to go back to her hometown.

It was not that she wanted to do anything else, but she suddenly wanted to go back to the hometown where she grew up.

Wei Yiyi has always been filial to her mother. She is now in her early forties. Maybe because of martial arts, her face is still young. Seeing that her mother's body can bear the fatigue of the carriage, she simply accompanies her back.

She was named a princess after the new emperor ascended the throne, and Wei Qingniang was the eldest princess. When Wei Mingyan was in power, they were equipped with guards. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he even sent more people to his aunt and sister.

Because she was the only princess of the younger generation, Wei Yiyi was the center of attention since she was young. She practiced martial arts with her uncle, and was good at fighting for justice. She went hunting and roaming with a group of girls.

She had vowed not to get married, but when she was 22, she suddenly fell in love with the third place winner. The third place winner was older than her and had not married until he was over 25. It was because his grandfather died just when he reached the age. He died just when he was out of mourning. He was delayed until now because of the double mourning.

The two of them, one literary and the other martial, were unexpectedly harmonious. They never quarreled after marriage and gave birth to a pair of children.

This time, Wei Yiyi was going back with her mother, and the third place winner took a special leave to accompany her.

The news that the Grand Princess had come to Miaocheng spread quickly throughout the city. When the guards lined up in a strict line to welcome the Grand Princess, the people gathered around to watch the excitement.

Some people began to say that the Grand Princess had helped many homeless children. She, the Queen Mother, and the deceased Grand Empress Dowager opened orphanages in various parts of Jin State, allowing many children who could not survive to survive.

Miaocheng was the place where Wei Mingyan made his fortune and was also the most prosperous city. Some elderly people began to tell the younger generation about the past.

It was said that the emperor of the previous dynasty was incompetent and forced the people to live. The enemy country went to war again. The court forcibly recruited soldiers and captured the strong laborers in the family. Everyone wanted to eat the emperor of the previous dynasty alive.

A child immediately asked, "Grandma, isn't being a soldier a good thing? Why do you still hate the emperor?"

Another child immediately followed up, "Yes, Grandma, isn't my uncle also a soldier? He gets meat and silver every month. I heard from my uncle that he took a lot of effort to get in and defeated many people."

"Are you afraid of dying in the war?"

"My uncle said that his friend who served in the army with him had his arm chopped off in the war, but the court gave him a large sum of silver and sent him to the Post and Road Bureau, saying that the court would provide him with retirement benefits."

"He would die anyway. Silver is not as important as life!"

"But everyone likes to be a soldier. Every time there is a conscription, uncles and aunts go to participate. They are not happy when they are rejected..."

The gray-haired old lady smiled as she watched the children quarreling, "Okay Okay, stop arguing. "

"You are young and don't know the situation at that time. The emperor of the previous dynasty recruited soldiers without paying."

Several children stopped immediately, looking shocked, "No money?"

"Yes, not only no money, but also no subsidies. When you join the army, you still can't eat enough and wear warm clothes. You have to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy with a flat stomach. You know you will die, and you don't even get a penny. Who would be willing to go?"

"The emperor was conscripted at that time. Everyone thought he went to the battlefield, but in fact, the emperor pulled two generals, Mo Hou, to accomplish great things together. When they came to our Miaocheng, they knew that the emperor had already started a war."

A young girl's eyes sparkled, "Then did the emperor succeed?"

"Yes. , but before success, there are still some things in the Taishang Royal Family. "

The old lady looked in the direction of the luxurious princess sedan and recalled, "At that time, the eldest princess was married, and the Empress Dowager had not died yet. When the news of the Taishang Emperor's rebellion came in Weijia Village, the clan leader of Weijia Village was afraid of implicating himself. He disregarded the Taishang Emperor's title of king and directly expelled the Taishang Emperor's family from the clan. "

"The eldest princess's husband's family even divorced her. After the Taishang Emperor knew about it, he forced the husband's family to sign a document stating that it was the eldest princess who divorced her husband, not the divorced one."

"At that time, there was no law in Jin State for women to divorce their husbands. The eldest princess was the first to do so. Later, when the Taishang Emperor was in power, women could also divorce their husbands if they did something wrong. "

Several children's eyes lit up immediately, and a little boy waved his fists excitedly. "Grandmother, did the Emperor take revenge after he ascended the throne?"

"Yes, did he behead the clan leader?"

"And the eldest princess' husband!"

They chattered in clear voices, and the old lady smiled and hugged the little girl closest to her in her arms, "The Emperor is so kind, he won't do anything to them."

"But the clan leader personally refused the position of prince. The Wei family could have become a noble family under the protection of the Emperor, but because of him and several clan elders, they could only continue to work in the fields. How could the people in the clan not blame him?"

"And the husband divorced by the eldest princess, he had finally passed the imperial examination in the previous dynasty, and after the Emperor ascended the throne, the past didn't count. The woman he had deliberately abandoned suddenly became a princess, how could he not be angry. ”

“Grandma only knows that he never married. When he was young, he didn’t even dare to go out. Even if he had to go out, he would cover his face and not let others see him and laugh at him. Later, he broke his leg in middle age and disappeared. ”

The little girl she was holding asked curiously, “Where did he go?”

“How do I know? Some people say he is dead, and some people say he regretted losing this marriage, so he went crazy and begged on the streets. Grandma only heard about it, but never saw him.”

The children laughed innocently and happily.

The crisp and tender voice laughed, “He really deserves it. Who told him not to want such a good princess.”

“That’s right, the princess is such a good person, he is really blind.”

“If it were me, I would definitely take good care of the princess. Mother said that a man should protect his wife! Don’t abandon your wife in times of crisis, otherwise you will be punished.”

“Yes! You will be punished! "

The clear voice of the child reached the ears of the beggar who was curled up not far away. Under the bright sunshine, his whole body was pitch black. Hearing this, he moved his body, and then did not move for a long time.

He thought of the princess's chair that he had just passed by. Wei Qingniang was sitting in a sedan chair and her face could not be seen clearly, but Wei Yiyi was riding a horse outside.

She had grown up. She should be 40 years old, but her eyes and eyebrows were still as unruly as a child.

In fact, the most powerful people in the world were her uncle and cousin, so she had the conditions to be unruly.

He still remembered that at that time, she was very small and brought tea to his room. She whispered timidly in a crisp voice, "Daddy, have some tea."

Later, he was going to Beijing to take the exam and was worried about the money. That day, his mother came back happily and said that Xiaoyi was good-looking and could be sold for a lot of money if she was sold.

It was just a little girl. Selling her could not only make money, but also reduce some family expenses. To the outside world, they just had to say that the girl had died of a disease.

So he let his mother sell her own daughter.

That day, Qingniang was locked in the woodshed, desperately knocking on the door and begging. The little girl had her hands pulled, but she still shouted at him with tears on her face.

"Daddy!!"

"Daddy, save Xiaoyi, Daddy——"

The children laughed enough, patted each other on the shoulders and played games. A girl took out the cake given by her mother, and just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she was patted on the shoulder, and the cake fell to the ground and was immediately covered with dust.

She immediately chased the person who patted her angrily, "Brother, you have to compensate me for the cake, which was given to me by my mother!"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I have another piece, I'll give it to you."

The child's shoes stepped on the cake, broke into pieces, and merged with the dust on the ground.

They left with laughter, and the old lady looked at the sky, and slowly got up and went into the house.

After a while, the black beggar who was huddled in the corner slowly got up. He was not wearing shoes, and his feet walked straight on the ground, squatting next to the cake that had long been dirty and trampled.

The black beggar carefully picked up the cake and blew away the dust and sand on it. Although he still couldn't blow it away, his hungry stomach prompted him to stuff the cake into his stomach.

A little boy followed the adults obediently and passed by. When he saw the black beggar squatting on the ground eating cakes, he showed pity in his eyes, "Mom, he is so pitiful."

"What is pitiful."

The young woman looked back and said to her son, "The court has opened many offices. As long as you are willing to work, you will never starve to death. He has been begging here for many years. When he was young, he was lazy and unwilling to work. Now he is old, he deserves it."

The mother and son hurried past, leaving only the black beggar squatting stiffly in the same place.

After a while, two lines of clear tears slowly fell from his cheeks. The places where the tears flowed were a little white, but the other places were still black, looking very embarrassed.

Yes, when he was young, he only complained about the world and others, claiming to be a scholar, but was ashamed to see people, and only knew how to eat up all the money.

Later, he really didn't want to see those people pointing fingers at him, and couldn't sleep all night, so he simply sold the only remaining house to make a living.

In the end, he was not good at business and ended up like this.

He thought that he would stay like this quietly for the rest of his life, despised and cursed by others.

But he didn't expect that he would see his wife and daughter one day in this life.

Although, they never saw him at all.

Jiang Cai cherished the small piece of cake and returned to the corner, his eyes were dazed.

At that time, his wife was still there, she would wash and cook for him, remind him not to go to bed late, and never stopped sewing except working, earning money for his studies.

His daughter was smart and well-behaved, her eyes were full of admiration for him, and she would obediently serve him tea and water.

But all this was ruined by himself.

Now, he can only shrink in this corner, eating food that no one wants to eat, and fantasizing every day that he did not abandon Wei Qingniang at the beginning, but followed her.

Then he must be a prince consort now.

The wind blew, and the black beggar shivered and shrank further into the corner, with the chill covering his whole body.

Jiang Cai was recalling the past. At night, Wei Qingniang was lying on a comfortable bed, and she returned to the past in her dream.

The memory began with her mother's big belly. She grabbed her hand and put it on her belly, telling her that there was a child inside.

If it was a boy, he would be able to support his sister when Qingniang grew up and got married.

Because of this sentence, Wei Qingniang had always hoped that her mother's belly was a boy, and later, it turned out to be a fat boy.

She obediently took her brother with her, fed him, and took care of her mother. In this way, day by day, her brother grew up slowly.

He would call her sister, and would hold a small wooden stick and say, sister, I will protect you when I grow up.

Later, her brother was forcibly taken to the army.

Wei Qingniang and her mother cried all night, and finally she decided to marry herself off to make her brother's life better.

She did not marry blindly, but chose the gentlest man, Jiang Cai. He was a scholar and his mother was a widow. If she married him, she would be a strong laborer and they would not treat her badly.

But Wei Qingniang was wrong. When they first got married, Jiang Cai was more interested in her because of her beautiful appearance, and the two of them had a good relationship. But later, her mother-in-law pushed all the housework and even the farm work on her. She was tired and sweating all day, and Jiang Cai disliked her and refused to sleep with her, and there was a gap between them.

She originally thought that she had married a good man.

But when she saw her newborn daughter wetting her clothes and crying loudly, but no one paid attention to her, and she had to support herself to take care of her after giving birth, and even had to wash her own clothes, Wei Qingniang realized what kind of family she had married.

She was taught from childhood that women should be gentle and endure even if they had to suffer a lot, so she endured.

But every time she saw her little daughter dare not say a word wrong at home, and hugged her crying because of hunger at night, Wei Qingniang couldn't help fantasizing.

She fantasized that her younger brother could appear and he would definitely protect him.

But everyone told her that there was no news about her brother, and it looked like she was in danger. Her mother was getting more and more haggard. Wei Qingniang knew that she regretted not being able to help her, but she could only force herself to comfort her.

Later, her daughter was sold.

She was sold to a dirty place where life was worse than death by her own father and grandmother.

Wei Qingniang did not endure it this time. She was like crazy. She hit the man for the first time, and then was hit back with a bigger slap.

Although Jiang Cai was a scholar, he was a man after all. The slap on the face almost knocked the weak Wei Qingniang unconscious.

But she did not give up. She cried and hugged the man's legs and begged him to redeem her daughter.

She even said that if he wanted to sell her, he could sell her.

After that, she was divorced and sent back.

A woman being divorced was the biggest punishment in Wei Qingniang's eyes at that time.

But thinking about her daughter being sold to a brothel, she had no time to care about these things.

For the first time, she went to look for her daughter regardless of the consequences, even if it meant suffering and pain.

Even if she died, she would be happy to die with her daughter.

But just when Wei Qingniang had collapsed, her brother really fell from the sky as in a dream.

After that, everything seemed like a beautiful dream.

Her daughter was fine, but was rescued by her brother. She was well taken care of and did not seem to suffer too much.

Then, her brother conquered the world.

She became the eldest princess.

With silk and satin, no worries about delicious food, and palace servants following her in and out, Wei Qingniang lived a happy life that she had never dared to imagine before.

She was very content. She felt that she could sit by the window every day and bask in the warm sun, and she would relax.

The mother was the queen mother, and she was well taken care of. She was smiling all day long. The younger brother had a wife, Wanwan was pregnant, and Xiaoyi had completely forgotten the past. Every day, she called the emperor uncle and played happily with the small wooden sword carefully made by the palace servants.

With such a life, Wei Qingniang felt that she had earned it even if she lived one more day.

Then, suddenly one day, the palace maid beside her ran in with her skirt lifted in a panic, telling her that the neighboring country had sent someone to propose marriage, and the object of the proposal was her, the eldest princess.

It is said that their Khan had two princesses and five children. The people there roasted cattle and sheep raw, lived on the grassland full of wind and sand, lived in smelly tents, and even water was a scarce thing.

The palace maid was afraid while talking. Jin had always married princesses to other countries, especially the emperor of the previous dynasty, who married off his eight sisters at one go. And those princesses who left their homeland at a young age all died before they lived for five years.

Her description was indeed horrifying. Wei Qingniang calmed down after a moment of panic.

It is said that the soldiers of the neighboring country are fierce and brutal. If she does not marry, her brother will have a hard time.

Since she has accepted all the benefits of the princess, she must bear the responsibilities of a princess.

The only thing she is worried about is Xiaoyi. I believe her brother will take good care of her.

Wei Qingniang forced herself to calm down and waited quietly for news from outside.

The palace people were all scared, especially the closest ones, who persuaded her to beg the emperor for mercy. That kind of hell-like place is really not a place for people to stay.

Not to mention the princess of the golden branches and jade leaves.

How could Wei Qingniang not be afraid in her heart, but no matter how scared she was, she never thought of crying to her brother.

If her brother had not saved her, she would not be where she is today, and how could her Xiaoyi still be happy and be a pampered princess.

She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes full of determination.

But soon, a palace maid who went out to inquire about the news came back with a smile on her face.

She said that her brother rejected the neighboring country and said that Jin would not marry off any princess, not now and definitely not in the future.

The palace maid said that the envoy threatened His Majesty but was driven out, and His Majesty was protecting you.

Wei Qingniang asked them to leave, and she cried bitterly in the room.

That night, she went to her brother's bedroom and told him that she was willing to marry out.

"Sister, you are my sister, the eldest princess of Jin. If Jin needs a princess to marry out to keep it, then what use is I!"

Her brother said firmly, "If sister wants to get married, I will definitely choose a good man for her, but forget about the Khan. With his character and family background, how can he be worthy of my Jin princess."

Wei Qingniang went back and cried again, but this time, she cried happily.

Later, her brother really defeated the neighboring country, and since then, no country dared to mention any marriage.

Everyone knew that His Majesty really loved her, the eldest princess, and no one could force her to do something she didn't want to do.

Until the death of her mother, her brother passed the throne to Miao'er after mourning, and Miao'er raised her rank by one level, and the pain of the first twenty years was over.

Wei Qingniang lived a peaceful and smooth life until she was eighty years old. She died with a smile, holding the hand of her younger brother who had returned to Beijing ten years ago, amid the tears of her children and grandchildren.

In the fifth year after the death of the eldest princess, Wei Mingyan and Ji Xiawan were no longer healthy.

After traveling for so many years, they had long lost their minds. They only told the princes and grandchildren to bury them together, and then they died together.

The second year after they left, Ji Xiaying and his wife Chi Qingqing also passed away one after another.

Unlike the previous life, this time, their children all survived, all of them were healthy and filial, and the two of them lived in harmony for a lifetime, which was a good story in the future.

[Ding! Mission completed, please choose: 1, vacation, 2, continue the mission. ]

Wei Mingyan pondered for a while.

"Go on vacation, pick an SSS-level one."

***

In the dilapidated toilet, a young man was washing his hands with his head down, and a woman's figure suddenly appeared slowly in the dirty mirror opposite.

She was wearing a red skirt, her face was pale, and her eyes were only white, staring at the boy.

As if the sound of an old bellows was turning, her neck turned stiffly, "Come... come in..."

"Come to accompany me——"

Then, a dry hand with long black nails suddenly fell on the boy's shoulder, with a sticky wet feeling, and suddenly pierced into the flesh.

——Can't pierce in

The woman widened her crazy eyes and looked forward gloomily.

In the mirror, Wei Mingyan shook his wet hands, raised his eyes and smiled at her.

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

——[Ah ... The author has something to say: This is a fat chapter. This story is over. The first ten little angels will receive red envelopes. One hundred more will be randomly selected. Two hundred will be randomly selected in the next chapter. Good night, everyone.

The next story is about the vacation world. The author wants to challenge the horror style. In order to avoid scaring the little angels and myself, the next story will be moved to 12 noon. Don't worry, although it is scary, Ming Yan is still at the top!
