After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

If his sister makes a mistake, he, as the elder brother, can advise her.

But the mother made a mistake. As a son, how could he persuade her to surrender?
There is no such thing as a son reporting on his mother.

What's more, it was because of him that his mother and sister committed such murders...

Wei Feishan reached out to pull his sleeve: "Brother?"

"Don't call me brother!"

Wei Huanjin threw her hand away as if he was electrocuted and took a few steps back in panic.

He was so confused that his whole body was shaking, and he couldn't look directly at Wei Feishan.

Once he sees her, he can't help but remember that she pushed a young girl off the mountain pavilion and killed her for him.

It was his fault. If it weren't for him, how could Shan'er's hands that played the piano and wrote have been contaminated with human lives...

Wei Feishan's heart trembled and she cried again.

She walked forward on her knees and tried to hold the train of his robe: "Brother, please don't do this, you scared me, brother..."

Wei Huanjin endured the pain and raised his hand to point to the door: "I have made my own decision on this matter, you go!"

Wei Feishan cried so hard that she looked at him timidly through her tearful eyes, then wiped the tears on her cheeks and left the tent, turning back three times.

Doomed to sleep tonight.

The next day.

When Wei Zi got up to wash herself in the morning, she saw Wei Feishan lying sideways on the couch, wrapped in a brocade quilt, as if she hadn't yet woken up. The pillow next to her black hair was already soaked, as she had shed tears all night.

She looked away quietly, showing no sympathy for her.

After breakfast, she walked alone through the empty and cold foothills.

The bonfire last night was burning until dawn, and a thin layer of snow accumulated on the dead leaves, and the young eunuchs were bending over to clean it.

The young gentlemen called their friends and rode happily towards the mountains. Today they still have to go hunting in the mountains.

Wei Zi went straight to Zhou Xianji's tent and was notified by the palace maid before he stepped into the tent.

Zhou Xianji was already awake, leaning on the warm couch with a soft blanket, reading books under the snowy light.

Wei Zi said hello, "Your Highness, you got up really early."

"I had no sleep last night," Zhou Xianji motioned for her to sit down. "I have a disease that makes me cough every night. I take medicine and my chest feels tight. If I can sleep on and off for two hours every night, it's like Amitabha."

Wei Zi twitched the corners of her lips, but her smile was without warmth.

She lowered her long eyelashes, put her hands on her knees uneasily, and felt a little embarrassed: "Last night...last night, I thanked Your Highness for covering up the scandal for me and my second brother. When we return to Beijing, I will reward you with generous gifts."

"Why do you and I have to meet each other? I only found out that something happened over there when a young man came to report it."

Wei Zi was curious: "Xiao Huangmen?"

Zhou Xianji was lying on the bed and was weak, and everyone around him knew not to bother him with outside matters. How could Xiao Huangmen be so ignorant and brave the snowy night to come to tell him that something had happened to her?
It definitely couldn't be Wei Feishan's handiwork.

Wei Feishan wished that the matter between her and Xiao Fengxian would be revealed to the world, so she wouldn't be so kind to arrange for the Second Highness to help her out of the siege behind her back.

Who would that be?
"He is a young eunuch with a bad face, about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he talks very smartly." Zhou Xianji thought about it again, "I was anxious to help you at that time, so I didn't ask in detail who sent him here."

Wei Zi was thoughtful.

That night.

The emperor recovered from his head illness and summoned all civil and military officials and their families to hold a bonfire banquet in the big tent.

The pheasants, wild deer, etc. that were hunted during the day were made into various delicacies and served with palace wine. There were also beautiful palace maids dancing and playing drums, harps, and shengs. The tent was filled with laughter and laughter for a while.

Zhou Xianfeng drank three large bowls of hot wine in a row, and became excited. He stood up and raised his hands to the emperor: "The singing and dancing are boring and weak. Since it is a winter hunt, I am willing to dance with the spear for my father to cheer up!" Zhou Shuo laughed: "Yes!"

Hot air was gushing from the wine, Zhou Xianfeng simply took off his shirt, and began to dance with his muscular upper body naked. His vigorous posture attracted the attention of the audience, and many young ladies secretly fell in love with him.

Murong Tao repeatedly praised: "Your Majesty, Fourth Highness has the demeanor of your youth."

Zhou Shuo stared at Zhou Xianfeng, a gloomy look flashing across his aging eyes.

After a long while, he seemed to laugh boldly: "Among my sons, Feng'er is the one who looks most like me."

Upon hearing this, the veterans present all had different expressions on their faces as they pondered the holy meaning.

The prince was deposed and the crown prince's position was vacant.

Does the emperor suddenly say this, does it mean...

He wants to make the fourth prince his crown prince?
Zhou Xianfeng danced with the gun, and Zhou Shuo said loudly: "Give me some wine!"

The singing and dancing were still going on, and when the wine was half drunk, Zhou Shuo suddenly looked at the Wei family.

Wei Huanjin didn't come to the banquet tonight, Wei Zi and Wei Feishan sat beside Wei Ling, both bowed their heads and remained silent because they each had something on their minds.

Zhou Shuo tapped the edge of the wine cup with his ivory chopsticks and said with a smile: "Wei Qing, I heard that a scandal occurred last night."

The singing and dancing stopped.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, knowing exactly what the emperor was referring to, so they kept looking at Wei Zi.

Zhou Shuo said meaningfully: "Wei Qing, my son is incompetent. He hides such shameful things in private, which makes your daughter embarrassed in public and becomes a joke. I am here to make amends to you for him."

Wei Ling stood up quickly and held up his hands with a flushed face: "Your Majesty, I am afraid!"

Zhou Shuo's eyes fell on Wei Zi: "I remember that when Xiao Zi was young, she was a famous beauty embryo in Shangjing City. After so many years, she has grown into a graceful beauty. Wei Qing, fortunately she is not so beautiful. Like you, otherwise, it would be terrible!”

It seemed like a common conversation, but Wei Ling's hair stood on end in the cold night, and she quietly broke into a cold sweat.

The emperor is suspicious by nature and never mentions someone without reason.

He suddenly mentioned Xiao Zi tonight...

Wei Ling cupped her hands and was forced to speak with her: "Your Majesty is right. Fortunately, Xiao Zi's appearance is more like Madam's. It's just that Xiao Zi has a naughty temper and is not very proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is far behind Madam."

"Hahahahaha, why should Wei Qing be humble? I see, Xiao Zi is very good." Zhou Shuo said slowly, "Back then, I promised Xiao Zi in the imperial study that she would choose one of my princes. If you like me, I will marry him when you grow up. I remember that Xiao Zi chose the second child back then."

Wei Ling quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, when Xiao Zi was young, she was nothing more than a childish child!"

"Look at you, tonight we, the king and the ministers, are drinking and chatting happily, but I just mentioned a few things from the past, and you are so frightened that you look like this." Zhou Shuo smiled, "She is a childish person, but I am a childish person. Now. Let’s do this, while we are happy tonight and the two children fall in love with each other, I will give Xiao Zi to Ji’er to be my concubine!”

The voice fell to the ground, and the audience was silent.

This marriage gift came suddenly, but she was still a concubine!
However, Wei Zi has married someone after all, and it seems that she is indeed not worthy of the position of a concubine...

"In addition," Wei Ling's eyes fell on Zhou Jing again, "Jing'er is getting older and it's time to get married. She can no longer jump up and down like before, which is unworthy of the majesty of the princess. I will refer you to Zheng The legitimate son of the Taiwei, I hope that after you get married, you will work together and live a long life."

The tent became even quieter.

Everyone knows that the fifth princess Zhou Jing and the eldest son of Zhenguo Palace, Wei Huanjin, are childhood sweethearts. Zhou Jing's affection for him over the years can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

but……

But your Majesty tonight...

However, the Zheng family and the Lin family, the grandfather of the fifth princess, did not deal with it. The eldest daughter of the Zheng family entered the palace ten years ago and gave birth to a prince for His Majesty. She is already eight years old this year. , the Zheng family will fight for this little prince no matter what.

Your Majesty married the fifth princess to the Zheng family, so how should Zhou Xianfeng, the fifth princess' biological brother, deal with himself?
