Snowy Chang'an Road

Three days later, Wei Shao went to the palace to offer medicine. Pei Ying went to the East Palace to see Pei Sheng and brought her a lot of food. Seeing that Pei Sheng's face was getting rosy but her expression was melancholy, Pei Ying also advised her not to give birth to a child. Keep the girl's affairs at heart and recover well. A boy will be born next.

After Pei Ying's enlightenment, Pei Sheng was still depressed, but he finally had a smile on his face.

After the two of them finished what they were doing, they came to Liyang Palace to visit their mother and concubine.

Deng Shou had already prepared the name cards and portraits of the noble ladies of each family, and wanted to finalize the concubinage while the two children entered the palace.

She was confident. She had already communicated this matter with Pei Ying. Pei Ying, the child, was generous and elegant and agreed to her idea. Now it was her son's turn. As long as the son agreed, he would be able to take concubines within a month. As a result, Deng Shou couldn't hide the smile on his face when he thought of this.

In this era, the relationship between men and women has never been about two people for life, but more often several women serving one husband. This concept is also deeply rooted in Deng Shou's cognition.

After all, who didn’t come here like this?

In the Yueyang Palace, there were more than a dozen portraits hanging in front of Wei Shao and Pei Ying, and Deng Shou introduced them one by one.

Wei Shao kept drinking tea with a gloomy face and said nothing.

Pei Ying cooperated with Deng Shou, nodding from time to time, showing an expression of satisfaction.

"Shao'er, this is a concubine for you. Please tell me a few words. Which of these noble ladies do you like?"

Wei Shao cleared his throat and said: "My concubine, I think it's better to forget about taking concubines. I already have a wife, and I only want to stay with her forever, and I don't want to marry another woman."

"Ying'er and I have discussed this matter. Not to mention that you and your wife have been married for almost two years and have no children. There is no man in this world who can live with only one wife."

"Mother, concubine, how other people live their lives is their business. In my Peking Palace, I, Wei Shao, only have one wife, and that is Pei Ying."

"But you also have to think about me as a mother. Some time ago, on the night when the Crown Princess gave birth, His Majesty stayed in my palace and specifically asked about you two. You have never had children, and His Majesty was also very concerned."

"Let nature take its own course, it will happen by itself."

Deng Shou was a little angry when he heard his son say this.

"Then tell me, when can you have children?"

"."

Pei Ying has been watching the battle beside the two of them, not daring to speak.

On the way back home, she saw that Wei Shao seemed to be fine, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"you are not happy?"

In the end, Wei Shao opened the topic first.

"No."

"You do, Pei Ying. We have lived together for so long, and I know you better than you can feel."

"Then you are awesome."

"It's not that you're awesome, but I always like to observe you. When you're happy, sad, or angry, I keep them in my mind."

Although Pei Ying was a little moved when she heard Wei Shao's ambiguous words of love, she, a hard-hearted and strong woman, would not agree to give birth to a child for him just because of Wei Shao's few words of love.

"Wei Shao, I really miss the days when we were out last year, whether we were traveling north or south. Although we were always running around, we often had no food to eat, no place to sleep, and we had to make do with many things. But in those days, I really It feels very happy.”

"Now that we are back in Chang'an, our life is on the right track, we have no worries about food and clothing, and everything we enjoy is the best, but I don't feel much happiness anymore."

"Then you still ask me to fight for the throne. Have you ever thought that if I succeed, you will be the queen and be trapped within the palace wall all day long, unable to go anywhere. With your temperament, can you bear it? "

Pei Ying thought for a moment and said, "If you were the emperor, you could often take me on outings incognito." Wei Shao smiled and said, "In your eyes, is being an emperor so relaxing?"

"There is no need for leisure. You don't want to be the emperor anyway."

"."

When summer comes, the weather is often unfavorable. It was sunny just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye it rains heavily.

Bursts of thunder resounded over Chang'an City. Pei Ying walked out of the room and saw dark clouds pressing over the city. She ordered Yunrou to set up a chariot and prepare to pick up Wei Shao from the court.

Not long after the carriage stopped outside the palace gate, a heavy rain started.

The ministers who were attending the morning court also looked at the heavy rain outside.

Wei Yuan said: "My dear friends, God is not kind to us. This rain will not last long. We will discuss the matter of the Yellow River bursting its banks and wait until the rain stops before going to court."

"promise."

"Henan County came to report that the water of the Yellow River overflowed in the county and destroyed the fields and houses of the people. I asked the court for support. I ordered the treasury to allocate grain for disaster relief. In addition, I allocated an additional 100,000 taels of silver to regulate the Yellow River. This batch of grain and My dear, who is willing to take care of me and transport the silver to Henan County?"

The ministers talked a lot, but no one was willing to stand up.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to help your Majesty solve your problems."

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention to Wei Shao.

Wei Shao accepted this job not only to solve the problem of the Yellow River bursting its banks in Henan County and provide relief to the people, but also because of Pei Ying.

Firstly, he could feel Pei Ying's unhappiness as she was tied up in Chang'an all day long. Secondly, his grandfather at home made it clear that the two of them should hurry up and have children almost every day, which made them both feel even more stressed.

Although it was not a good job, it was for the sake of the people and it was in line with his current situation. Wei Shao agreed without thinking.

"Okay, King of Peiping, I will leave this errand to you. When you return to Chang'an, I will reward you greatly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Thinking that the matter had been settled, Wei Huan suddenly intervened and said: "Your Majesty, I request to go to Henan County with the King of Peking to provide relief. The amount of grain and silver is too large. I am willing to share the worries of my father and help the king." The King of Peking will work together to complete this matter."

Wei Yuan paused for a moment and said: "Prince, you are willing to share my worries. I know this filial piety, but you still stay in Chang'an. I will just send someone to assist the King of Peking in this matter."

Wei Huan was still about to say something, but he saw Wei Yuan waving his hand to him.

"Your Majesty, my minister Xiao Shen is willing to assist the King of Peiping in going to Henan County to provide disaster relief."

"Okay, I'm sure."

Xiao Ting turned around and glanced at his son, helpless.

On the way to the next court, Wei Shao walked up to Xiao Shen and asked, "Well, why are you accompanying me to Henan County for disaster relief?"

Xiao Shen didn't hide anything from him and said: "Brother Wei, my father and mother are urging me to get married every day. They are urging me too hard. I can't stay in this Xiao Mansion for a day."

Wei Shao patted him on the shoulder and said, "I understand."

"Brother Wei, you don't understand. You are already married. You are a full man and don't know how hungry a man is."

Xiao Shen didn't notice that a wry smile appeared on the corner of Wei Shao's mouth.
