Snowy Chang'an Road

"Pei Ying, you clearly know my thoughts, why do you still say this?"

"Don't you like such a delicate and lovely woman?"

"I only like you."

It is difficult for her to accurately describe Pei Ying's inner feelings at this moment. She likes Wei Shao and loves him, but she always feels that she cannot give him a family. This is a difference in thought and comes from the different personalities of the two. experience.

At the same time, in the carriage in front, Deng Guogong and his wife also had a panoramic view of the scene that had just happened, and there was a tacit understanding between them.

After returning home, everyone went to their rooms to rest. Pei Ying remained silent. She was not in a suitable state to speak. She was afraid that if she spoke, she would inadvertently hurt Wei Shao again.

The two of them lay quietly on the bed, listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, unable to fall asleep at all.

In the end, it was Wei Shao who broke the calm first.

"Pei Ying, do you love me?"

"Love."

"Since you love me, why would you say that you would take a concubine for me?"

"Love and life are two different things."

"Yong Shu's admiration for me is her business and has nothing to do with me."

"I know."

"You don't know, my child can only have one mother, and that is you."

Wei Shao's words completely silenced Pei Ying.

She didn't speak, just closed her eyes and said lightly: "Go to sleep."

Pei Ying's indifference made Wei Shao sleepless. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Of course, Pei Ying was also unable to sleep.

Half an hour later, a pair of big hands wandered around Pei Ying's waist and untied her clothes. She did not refuse and still responded to him enthusiastically as usual.

After a while, the two of them were completely sleepless.

"Wei Shao, if I don't want to have a child, will you force me?"

"Why don't you want to have a baby?"

"No reason."

Wei Shao thought for a moment and said, "Since you don't want to give birth, then you won't give birth. I am happy with you and don't want to embarrass you."

"I hope you will remember what you said today."

"a man of his words."

In the following days, Pei Ying and Wei Shao went to Pei Guogong's mansion. During this meeting, the father and daughter got along quite harmoniously. They mentioned many things about Pei Sheng, and Cao Fan's attitude towards Pei Ying improved. There was an obvious change. At the dinner table, he even took the initiative to bring her food.

They also went to Deng Zhao's mansion and visited this cousin. She had a gentle personality and was good at running a house. She kept the house in good order and had their lovely children. When Wei Shao got along with the children, , there were obviously more smiles on his face.

In Zhong Yang's house, the eight sisters-in-law competed with each other, but they all welcomed Pei Ying's arrival and asked Pei Ying about various eating methods. It seemed that Zhong Yang mentioned her frequently in the house. In Xiao Ting's house, Xiao Shen's marriage gave Xiao Ting a headache. Xiao Shen had no intention of getting married. He only wanted to make more progress while he was young. This made Xiao Ting and his wife gray with worry. If they had known today, they should have had more children. Several legitimate sons.

Outside Yongbo's Mansion, Wei Shao was holding a gift and Pei Ying was standing beside him. When Wei Shao was still hesitating whether to go in, Pei Ying said, "Let's go. If you hesitate any longer, it will seem like you have really done something wrong." .”

Wei Shao didn't say anything and followed Pei Ying into the house obediently. Yong Bo liked Pei Kai's eldest daughter very much, mainly because of her straightforward personality and her bad temper with him.

While chatting and laughing, Yong Shu came in thinking of ways to find a topic to chat. Her feelings for Sima Zhao were probably known to all the cats and dogs passing by Yong Mansion.

After sending the two of them away, Yong Shu pestered his father again, saying that he wanted to marry Wei Shao. Yong Bo was unwilling to do so. If his eldest daughter married the prince as a concubine, it was possible that he would also marry his younger daughter to Wei Shao. Will Wei Shao be a concubine?

Can’t his Yong Bo’s daughter be the head wife?

In the new year, although life has not changed much and we are still in a familiar environment and with these familiar people every day, everyone's mood has also changed to a certain extent with the arrival of the new year.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, urgent news came from Changsha that King Han Zhu of Linxiang had died of illness.

When the news came, Wei Yuan was attending the morning court, and everyone in the court knew about it.

Wei Yuan ordered people to give Han Zhu a grand burial, and he showed grief. This sadness was not purely fake. For Wei Yuan at this time, he seemed not to be able to hear the word "death".

After Wei Shao returned to the mansion with the news, Pei Ying couldn't accept it for a while. The meeting two months ago was actually the last one.

But the one who suffered the biggest blow from this incident was Pei Kai. He barely managed to make it out of the palace without any disrespect in front of the palace. It was Wei Shao who sent him back to the palace. The news of the sudden death of his old friend was very important to him as an old man. It is very cruel to people.

Especially when Pei Ying brought Han Zhu back, she was willing to go fishing with him on the river, play the harp under the willows, play chess on a high platform, and drink and chat with him, which became an irreparable regret for him.

Ten days later, on the last day of the first lunar month, a secret report came from spies from the north. King Gaojun of Jinyang died in a foreign land. He called Shanyu to have his body dumped in the wilderness and died miserably.

In one month, two kings with different surnames died one after another without any effort.

After Wei Yuan heard the news, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, and he couldn't tell whether the expression on his face was crying or laughing.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but before he had taken two steps, a mouthful of blood spurted out. Wu Xun hurriedly stepped forward to support His Majesty and announced the imperial doctor.

While Wei Yuan was in bed, the matter of supervising the country naturally fell on Wei Huan. Because of the previous foreshadowing, Wei Huan was no longer as green as before and began to have his own thoughts on many things, but he I dare not say too much, but his mother Ban Miao is the invisible big hand behind the throne, controlling and controlling the entire Wei Dynasty behind him.

Wei Yuan stayed in bed all day long, feeling lethargic and often lethargic. His brain had gradually stopped thinking.

Ban Miao also took stock of the people who threatened his son's country in his mind. Although Cao Shuo and His Majesty were as close as brothers, he was an outsider after all, so he had to deal with it well. There were only so many important positions in the court. If he doesn't vacate his position, when will the members of the Ban family be able to get ahead?

Although Wei Yuan dealt with seven kings of different surnames one after another, divided their original territories again, and gave them to their brothers and nephews of the Wei family, this also suppressed the development of the Ban family. Among their clan, except for Ban Miao's Her father is the Duke of the country, and among her brothers, the highest status is only a marquis.

Obviously, with the increasing power in her hands, she has gradually become dissatisfied with the status quo.

During these days, in Wei Yuan's harem, the concubines took turns attending to his illness. When he was awake, he would always ask the prince to reply and inquire about the government affairs.

At the same time, under Ban Miao's suggestion, he also made two decisions.

First, it was Ban Miao's selfish intention to summon Dongling Hou Mu Xian and Princess Zhaoyuan back to Chang'an to attend to the illness.

Secondly, because of my illness, I miss Cao Shuo, King of Guangyang, and order you to return to Chang'an as soon as possible.
