Empress can't eat enough

Chapter 1 Promotion and Relocation
Wei Yuan, the magistrate of Tongzhou, named Boyang, was appreciated by the emperor by chance. He was promoted to be the servant of the Ministry of Punishment of the third rank, and was transferred to Beijing, ranking among the court officials.

This sudden prosperity and wealth made Wei Yuan feel uneasy.

In the royal city of Kyoto, where the situation is treacherous and people are unpredictable, he is passionate and fearless, but the only thing he can't let go of is his daughter with pica...he is just such a direct daughter.For the sake of his daughter, he would even go against the holy will and leave this official career.

His eldest son, Wei Yan, has a long writing style, is mature and steady, and has a delicate mind, so he naturally understands his father's concerns.He respected his father and cherished his sister, who was a fellow mother.But regarding the future and the glory of the family, he naturally has some calculations and considerations.

This day, he helped his father see off a few relatives who came to congratulate him, and when he turned his head and saw his father heading towards the study with a gloomy expression, he finally made up his mind to follow.

Wei Yuan was full of preoccupations all the way, and he didn't know that the eldest son followed him silently for a long time.It wasn't until he entered the study room and turned around to close the study door that he found the eldest son with a dignified face.

Not without surprise, he called "Yan'er" and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Father..." Wei Yan was tall and slender, with an elegant demeanor. At this time, he was wearing an indigo-colored wide-sleeved dress with asparagus patterns embroidered on the hem, which made him even more dignified, who had always been serious.

"Come in and talk!" Wei Yuan seemed to know what he wanted to say.He turned back and walked to the table in the room, sat down, and did not hide his sadness.

Wei Yan closed the door of the study room, walked up to his father, first bowed to him, and then straight to the point, earnestly said: "Father has been having trouble sleeping and eating since the day he received the document from the official department... Even today, it is also the same. There is a decision."

Wei Yuan looked at his son appreciatively, wanting to hear his opinion.

"Father," Wei Yan took a step forward, not hiding his thoughts anymore, "Father is able to go to Beijing to serve this time. How many local officials may not be able to get it in his life? Father should not hesitate. We Wei family men, generations have As an official, this person who can enter the capital, father, you are No. 1. Don't father want to start from you, inherit the past and usher in the future, and shine on the lintel of the family?"

Glory to the lintel, why would Wei Yuan not want to?He thought, he thought so much!But……

"Father," Wei Yan continued, "my child knows that you don't worry about my sister. But even in Tongzhou, how have you ever let go of your worries about your sister day and night? Whether my sister stays in Tongzhou or goes to Beijing with my father, Our concern for her, our responsibilities to her, and our love for her will never be lessened."

"You should know that Beijing is no better than Tongzhou. The crown prince has just been established, the courtiers are complex, and there are factional disputes from time to time. Although the position of minister of punishment is not high and powerful, once I go, it will be hard to stay out of it."

Wei Yuan stroked his green and black beard, he couldn't help sighing, and continued: "Your sister has such a strange problem, once she comes to Beijing with me, if someone finds out about it and causes trouble, I want to cover it up. It is a hundred times and a thousand times more difficult than in Tongzhou! But if she stays in Tongzhou, I am even more worried."

"Naturally, we will take her with us!" Wei Yan was unequivocal on this issue.He stood up and swore to the sky: "Father, after going to the capital, I will definitely take good care of my sister and prevent her from making any mistakes!"

"I know your intentions as a father, I'm afraid I'm going to get stuck in the quagmire, then you and I will both have more than enough heart but not enough power..."

Before Wei Yuan finished speaking, the door of the study was pushed open.

The visitor was dressed in men's attire, moon white tight-waisted and narrow-sleeved regular clothes, and his hair hung high and unadorned. He was originally free and easy, but the unique handsomeness of his daughter's family in his eyebrows was hard to conceal no matter what.This is Wei Yuan's direct daughter, and Wei Yingning, the younger sister of Wei Yan's first mother.

Wei Yingning looked haggard and tired at this moment.Especially the pair of Ruifeng eyes that were supposed to be shining, but now they seem to be sunken a lot more than yesterday, at first glance, they are almost a bit scary.

"Father...elder brother is here too." Seeing his elder brother Wei Yan was there, Wei Yingning stopped the striding meteor under his feet a little, and obediently saluted his father and brother.

She has been spoiled since childhood.She lost her mother when she was young, her father protected her, her stepmother doted on her, and her younger brothers and sisters naturally let her go, but her elder brother who was born in the same mother's womb loved her most.Since she was young, she was also somewhat afraid of this elder brother.

"What?" Seeing her look so haggard, Wei Yuan couldn't help asking in panic, "Are you also a person who doesn't believe what you say?"

Wei Yingning nodded as usual.

She seemed a little exhausted, so she saw a chair next to her and sat on it.

"Shameless." Wei Yuan slandered, a little annoyed. "We have done so much for him, not to mention the real culprit, but also to find out his true identity, and let him return to the royal family. How did we end up...acting the wrong thing?"

He didn't dare to complain too much, after all, this ghost was no ordinary ghost.In terms of seniority, today's emperor has to call him uncle.

But Wei Yuan was really anxious.

Since the daughter suffered from a serious illness when she was eight years old, she claimed that she could see ghosts.It's all right to see the ghost, and you must use the realization of the ghost's wish as a bargaining chip to exchange the strand of spirit for food.

He didn't believe it at first.Doctors have seen countless, and alchemists have invited many, but nothing changes the facts.He had no choice but to change himself and use his status as a magistrate to help his daughter redress the ghost's grievances, just asking her to be full.

In the past seven years, I have helped all poor ghosts, and all I have done are conscientious things.He didn't understand why ghosts nowadays don't keep their promises?Once the promised wish was fulfilled, she voluntarily got eaten by her daughter!
Poor daughter, she was released by three ghosts within two months. If this continues, she will starve to death!

"I think there are no good ghosts in Tongzhou anymore." Wei Yingning tilted his head to look at Wei Yuan, half serious and half joking, "Fortunately, my father has been promoted to a high-ranking official, so we can change our place. There are many people in Kyoto, so ghosts naturally If there are many, I will not be hungry."

After finishing speaking, she took another deep look at her elder brother Wei Yan.

Wei Yan suddenly understood, and hurriedly said to Wei Yuan: "Father, my son thinks what my sister said is not unreasonable. My sister has been ill for more than seven years, and she has eaten less than a hundred or even dozens of innocent souls near Tongzhou, let alone Those who don't keep their promises... and under the father's rule, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are very few unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, so it is good for my sister to be able to go to the capital now."

"Isn't it a good thing for my father?" Wei Yingning stood up and followed Wei Yan's words, "All these years, it's clearly a blessing in disguise! It's a kind deed to help the dead to complete the unfinished business in life, and to clear up the grievances of the wronged It is a merit, and it is justice for those wicked people who are still alive to be punished. Wouldn't it be nice?"

Wei Yuan shook his head when he heard this.He never thought it was a good thing for his daughter to see ghosts, let alone feed on ghosts!
"Father..." Wei Yingning lost his smile and walked up to him, putting his hands in his arms, "Father, if I am a useful body of the Wei family, I should celebrate it, fortunately! Why bother?" Worrying?"

After hearing this, Wei Yuan smiled wryly, "It's your credit for giving me this gift from my father."

"That's right!" Wei Yingning smiled slyly, "If it wasn't for me, how could my father uncover the shocking case 30 years ago? I am clearly the lucky star of our Wei family."

Lucky star?Wei Yuan couldn't laugh or cry.Where does he need any lucky stars?If God opened his eyes and could make his daughter the same as ordinary people's daughters, he would spare no expense.And the most urgent task is to make her daughter full.

"Since that's the case, let's start in a few days! I'm afraid there will be delays on the way to Beijing." He finally made a decision.

"Yes, Father!" Wei Yan was overjoyed when he heard the words, "I'll give you an order to go to Beijing."

Before leaving, he gave Wei Yingning a wink.Wei Yingning understood, bid farewell to his father and followed him out.
