Wei Wuhou

Chapter 787 Changes in the Harem

As the monarch of the Great Wei Kingdom, Wei Wuji has to prepare a banquet, and the people below will say that the errands will be done well.

On the second day after Wei Wuji sent out the order, all the preparations were done, only waiting for the banquet to start in the evening.

This day passed quickly, at least for the concubines in the harem, they were full of anticipation for the banquet hosted by the monarch.

So they went to the banquet hall early and waited. At this time, all the preparations inside were completed, and they were waiting for the nobles to attend.

When the concubines arrived, Wei Wuji and Cao Xin also supported Danji and rushed to the venue slowly.

Of course the other concubines also wanted to help the Empress Dowager, but they were not qualified to do so, so they could only wait at the venue early.

Leaving the servants and maids behind, only Wei Wuji and the other three were left in front, and the atmosphere was very quiet or depressing.

Tan Ji could feel the indifference between her son and daughter-in-law, but this was the last thing she wanted to see. Discord between the king and queen was a big taboo in the harem, and it would cause all troubles further away.

What's more, Tan Ji is still very satisfied with Cao Xin, her daughter-in-law, so it's even more embarrassing.

And Tan Ji also knew that the reason why she became like this was because there was more of that person in the harem!

But for Tan Ji, it is very unwise to directly alienate her son from her favorite concubine.

So after pondering over and over again, Tan Ji said slowly: "When the first monarch was young, he first married Xie Yun as his wife, and then accepted this palace as his concubine. Later, this palace ranked above Xie Yun and only favored the harem!"

"It's good to be alone, but it's not tolerated by the harem. In the end, they end up attacking in groups..."

"From then on, I knew that it is rare to be alone for a long time!"

Speaking of this, Tan Ji looked at Wei Wuji and said: "Now Wuji, you are the king of the country, I hope you don't do this, lest your love be hard to last forever!"

"You should understand the truth of deep love and longevity, so you should keep all concubines in your heart, not just one person or two!"

After Tan Ji said so much, Wei Wuji knew who his mother was targeting. At this time, he also thanked Tan Ji for saving him some face, and did not directly say Ji Wanyue's name.

At this time, Wei Wuji glanced at Cao Xin next to him, wondering if it was her fault.

Cao Xin was having a good time listening to the Queen Mother's advice, but when she noticed her husband's unkind eyes, her joy was suddenly suspended.

Fortunately, at this time, Tanji also noticed Wei Wuji's thoughts, so she said: "Junhou watch the road, be careful of falling!"

"What you said just now was for your mother's sake. What are you doing looking at Xin'er?" Tan Ji asked slightly dissatisfied.

Only then did Wei Wuji turn his gaze away, and now he only heard him say: "What mother said is very true, son will remember it!"

Cao Xin's hanging heart finally fell, she really didn't want to be misunderstood by her husband.

After all, the relationship between the two has faded now, and if there is any misunderstanding, who knows if they will turn against each other.

After all, Cao Xin, the empress of Wei, was also a thorn in the eyes of the women in the palace, and everyone wanted to squeeze her from the throne.

As a result, calm was restored among the three, but Wei Wuji's good mood was also ruined a bit.

When the mother and son entered the banquet hall, the concubines who had been waiting here all saluted Tan Ji under the leadership of Ji Wanyue.

"Meet the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, madam!"

After the three of Wei Wuji sat down, Tan Ji, who was in the center of the head, waved her hands and said, "Excuse me!"

All the concubines then stood up, and then returned to their seats, and those who had children took care of their own children.

From being a down and out woman back then to now full of children and grandchildren, looking at everything in front of her eyes, Tan Ji was very afraid that this was just a dream.

After she woke up from the memory, she slowly opened her mouth and said: "Today, Junhou proposed to hold a banquet to make this harem lively. Don't let Junhou down!"

At the harem banquet, Tan Ji is naturally the person with the highest status at this time, so she has to say the opening remarks.

At this moment, the concubines got up again and said: "The Queen Mother taught, I will remember it carefully!"

Wei Wuji looked at the people below, and said at the moment: "You don't have to be restrained, just sit down!"

So everyone returned to their seats. Under the constraints of etiquette, it was difficult for this banquet to be as enjoyable as Wei Wuji imagined.

When Tan Ji announced the start of the banquet, she had already waited for the musicians on both sides to start playing, and then a group of dancers walked into the hall.

Winter is raging outside, but the inside of the hall is like a spring day, and the music and dance filled with it make this place like a fairyland on earth.

Except for Wei Wuji and Tan Ji who focused on singing and dancing, all the concubines paid attention to the person on the throne.

Therefore, Wei Wuji couldn't enjoy himself if he wanted to watch the performance, and the concubines could always find a reason to talk to Wei Wuji.

Having just been taught by Tan Ji, Wei Wuji had to talk to his concubines at this moment, but he was a little absent-minded.

But fortunately, a little man came to rescue him.

Just when Wei Wuji was dealing with his concubine, a little girl came out from behind him, grabbed the hem of his clothes and shouted: "Father, father..."

The little girl is already seven years old, she is Wei Wuji's eldest daughter, she was born to Huan'er, named Wei Rou'er!

To be honest, Wei Wuji has many heirs now, but he has very few loved ones.

The eldest daughter, Wei Rou'er, was one of them, so when he saw his good daughter, Wei Wuji hugged her into his arms.

"It turns out that Rou'er is here, but do you miss being a father?" Wei Wuji asked warmly, his attitude was much closer than that of concubines.

Wei Rou'er nestled in his father's arms, and said slightly dissatisfied at this moment: "Father hasn't hugged Rou'er for a long time!"

After being told by his daughter, Wei Wuji recalled a little, but he couldn't remember how long it was since he last held a child, so he felt ashamed.

In order to make up for his negligence, Wei Wuji picked up a piece of pastry on the table, handed it to Wei Rouer and said at the same time: "Come on, good girl, eat something delicious!"

Fortunately, at this time, Wei Rou'er still gave her father face, and the little hand ended up with the pastry Wei Wuji handed over.

Seeing this scene, Tan Ji next to her said: "Look at Wuji, even my good granddaughter is dissatisfied with you, you have to pay attention to the harem!"

Wei Wuji nodded yes, and these words made his face even more ashamed.

But at this time, he also realized an important question, whether the education of his offspring should also be put on the agenda.

Especially those of his sons, who are now in a free range state, how can this cultivate a successor that satisfies him!
So Wei Wuji said at this moment: "What the mother taught is that the son will take care of the children more in the future!"

At this time, after seeing that Wei Rou'er was already in the arms of the monarch, everyone below cast their jealous eyes on Huan'er.

These people also feel envious at this time, why didn't they marry Junhou earlier, why is it not their own child who is in Junhou's arms.

At this time, Huan'er was a little flustered after seeing her daughter getting into Wei Wuji's arms.

It is precisely because she is in the harem that Huan'er knows that such eye-catching things will only bring trouble to herself.

She is not like Lan Er, who has the empress dowager in the harem to watch over her loudly. Even though she is in trouble with the monarch, Wei Wuji has his heart on the front court, and it is impossible to take care of him all the time.

Therefore, Huan'er stood up at this time and confessed to Wei Wuji: "Your Majesty, Rou'er doesn't understand etiquette, so she offended you...it's because I didn't discipline myself properly!"

Looking at Huan'er below, although he is now a nobleman in the palace, Wei Wuji still feels that the other party is as insecure as in Qi.

And it was this appearance that made Wei Wuji feel a ray of tenderness in his heart. The other woman was not only his first woman, but also the one who accompanied him through the most hardships.

Therefore, Wei Wuji smiled at this time, and then said to Huan'er: "Rou'er is innocent and lively, I like it very much, so you don't have to blame yourself!"

Rou Concubine is Huan'er's title, Wei Wuji has said so, she can only return it honestly.

At this time, Cao Xin, who was sitting on the other side of Tan Ji, looked helplessly at her son next to her, wishing that Tian Selection could be more sensible.

At this time, Wei Tianze was only seven years old, and he was far from the sensible level that Cao Xin wanted.

At this time, Wei Wuji shouted to his eldest son: "Natural Selection, come to the widow!"

This was definitely a situation that Cao Xin could not have imagined, but she reacted relatively quickly, so she hurriedly said to her son: "Natural Selection, hurry up!"

Wei Tianxuan is Cao Xin's son, and he is a little overlord in this harem, so he is not stage-frightened at this time, and walks up to Wei Wuji under everyone's gaze.

Although he is small, he is still clear about all etiquette, I saw him saluting in a regular way: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Wei Wuji was very happy to do things well at such a young age, so he heard him say: "Natural Selection has a basis for advancing and retreating at such a young age, Madam teaches well!"

Being named and praised by Wei Wuji, even though Cao Xin is good at cultivating Qi now, she couldn't restrain the excitement in her heart at this time.

Cao Xin hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty praises me, my concubine is only teaching natural selection, and you must always follow the example of the Marquis, this is how the Marquis teaches well!"

Wei Wuji smiled and didn't say anything else.

He asked the eldest son to come up and praise Cao Xin, largely to divert attention.

Part of it was to transfer pressure to Huan'er, but to a greater extent it was to transfer pressure to Ji Wanyue. He had listened to what Tan Ji said just now.

Talking to Cao Xin and laughing at Yanyan, even on the surface, is of great help to the stability of the harem!

At this moment, Wei Wuji picked up another piece of pastry and handed it to the eldest son, "Come on, I will give you a piece of pastry too!"

Unexpectedly, at this time Wei Tianze bowed and said: "Given this by the elders, I dare not resign, thank you father!"

If Wei Wuji had asked Wei Tianxuan to come up just now, it was more for the stability of the harem.At this time, after hearing what the eldest son said, he began to really look at his son.

After a while, Wei Wuji said: "Okay, okay!"

Just two simple words of praise made Cao Xin even more happy.

After being married to Wei Wuji for so many years, Cao Xin knew that the simpler the compliment, the more it meant that her son had truly been recognized by his father.

Based on this alone, Cao Xin felt that the past was swept away. Although she had lost her husband's favor, she still had a son!

Raising her son well has now become Cao Xin's most important thought.

Wei Wuji could hardly notice the change, because he was going to test his son again at this time.

Just now he has the tendency to raise a son, so why not start now?
