Ever since the loud cry of a baby resounded throughout the Song family house half a year ago, the door to the Song family house would be opened before dawn.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk" an urgent knock sounded on the door.
The concierge yawned and looked at the person in front of him with sleepy eyes.
The Crown Prince is more diligent and punctual than the Marquis when he goes to court.
"Your Majesty," the concierge looked at the wall, "can't you just leave the door?"
When he was in the Marquis Mansion, the prince had many ways to climb over the wall, but why didn't he use them now?
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Qingan's eyes widened, "You can't teach Brother Chen a bad lesson."
The concierge didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could the young man understand this now?
When he was about to close the door and go back to sleep for a while, he turned his head and almost bumped into someone. The concierge composed himself and immediately bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Prince Shunjun."
Qi Defang nodded and caught up with Xu Qingan.
Sorry, the concierge shook his head. The prince's tail is getting longer and longer. I wonder if he will bring ten or eight people to knock on the door in the future.
Xu Qinghuan looked at the well-behaved Brother Chen who was sitting on the kang. This child was good at everything, except that he was very energetic. He woke up early every day and looked at the objects in the room with his dark eyes. When he saw her coming, he immediately showed his face.
Smiling, he stretched out his little hand and rushed towards her.
Xu Qinghuan held Brother Chen in his arms.
"Grandma, there's no need to come so early," the wet nurse said with a smile, "We can just coax my brother."
"I'm fine either way," Xu Qinghuan said, "The uncle also got up at this time to practice boxing and kicking."
The wet nurse pursed her lips and smiled: "In a few years, I will be able to take my brother out with me."
Xu Qinghuan was somewhat looking forward to it. She didn't know how Master Song would teach Brother Chen. At that time, she would follow him secretly to take a look.
"It's different after all. My brother is so well-behaved when he is in grandma's arms." As soon as the wet nurse finished speaking, she immediately felt that she had said the wrong thing and quickly shut her mouth.
"What?" Xu Qinghuan asked, "Did Brother Chen make a lot of noise when he followed you?"
"No, no," the wet nurse said hurriedly, "Now that I have grown up, I can't be separated from my son for a moment. Boys are like this."
Xu Qinghuan nodded, his eyes fell on Brother Chen again, and Brother Chen laughed happily again.
"You have to be good when the wet nurse takes you." Xu Qinghuan said and touched Brother Chen's little hand.
Brother Chen looked at her as if he was listening to her carefully.
Today she made an appointment with Mr. Dong to go to the field ridge for a visit. Although she was very reluctant to let go of Brother Chen, the farming work could not be delayed. After leaving Mr. Dong's place, she had to go to see Huang Qinghe, and I was afraid it would be very late before she could step in.
The door is open.
Xu Qinghuan handed Brother Chen over to the wet nurse.
Brother Chen was kicking his calves. He was very unhappy with his two hands. The corners of his mouth were slightly curled up, feeling aggrieved. It was this look of wanting to cry but not crying that made Xu Qinghuan feel soft. These places of Brother Chen were so similar.
Mr. Song, silently makes people feel that they are very pitiful.
Both father and son were poking at her weak spots.
Xu Qinghuan took Brother Chen over and played with him for a while before walking out the door.
After the mother left, Brother Chen moved around in the wet nurse's arms and stretched out his little hand to reach the yard.
"Brother, don't worry," the wet nurse coaxed, "I'll go get some clothes for him later and change them before going out."
Brother Chen seemed to be unable to wait any longer and kept waving his little hands. Although he was only a few months old, his strength was so great that even the wet nurse could not withstand it.
"My brother, why are you so well-behaved in Grandma's arms?" Except for Grandma, no one seems to be able to calm my brother down. It's okay now, but when he gets older, I'm afraid everyone will have to
Follow him all over the yard.
"What's going on here?"
Xu Qingan's voice sounded, and the wet nurse subconsciously tightened her arms. Why did the prince come again today?
Xu Qingan stepped forward with a smile: "Let me take a look at Brother Chen."
"Brother is fine. Sir, just look at him like this. No need to take him away." The wet nurse stepped back, as if she had encountered some wild beast.
Xu Qing'an's face suddenly darkened: "What's it like? Are you deliberately guarding me? This is my nephew, with my blood flowing on him. Such a blood relative has broken bones and connected tendons. No one can separate our uncle and nephew.
This time I took Brother Chen with me, and Brother Chen kept smiling, unlike you..."
The wet nurse swallowed, and what the prince said was right. The problem was that every time the prince came, he would become more difficult to coax, and they would not be able to bear it if this continued.
The wet nurse is about to take Brother Chen back to the house.
"Hey, why did Brother Chen pee?"
The wet nurse subconsciously wanted to pick Brother Chen up to check. At this moment, a strong force came, and then her hands were empty. Brother Chen had been taken away.
Xu Qingan hugged Brother Chen and turned around to run out of the yard.
"Master, don't scare me," the wet nurse shouted as she chased him.
Xu Qing'an didn't care about this, he was running around in the garden like the wind under his feet, while Brother Chen in his arms kept laughing with his little hands open.
Xu Qing'an lifted Brother Chen up high and looked into the light and saw that Brother Chen's eyes were red. He wondered if the boy was scared and was about to give a lecture: "As a man..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something hot pouring on his head.
Brother Chen clapped his hands and laughed even more.
Xu Qing'an was stunned there for a long time before he came back to his senses. He turned to look at Qi Defang numbly.
Qi Defang suppressed her blush and suppressed a smile.
Xu Qingan pursed his lips to Qi Defang: "The taste is very strange, do you want to try it?"
…
In the capital city, in the Hall of Yangxin.
The emperor looked at the secret book in his hand. Song Chengxuan had a son, named Chen. The surname Chen came from Luoyang, Henan. At that time, Emperor Gaozong wanted to give Luoyang, Henan to King Wei as a fief. After his father inherited the throne, he decided to abolish the vassal system.
, if you want the clan to be convinced, you have to set an example by someone close to you, so this matter fell on King Wei.
The King of Wei submitted a memorial requesting the imperial court to take back the vassal land, so the subsequent withdrawal of the vassal state proceeded smoothly.
This is openly telling others that they are related to King Wei.
"He is going to rebel," the emperor's eyes widened, "I will immediately declare him to Beijing to conduct a thorough investigation of Song Chengxuan and the entire Song family."
"Why is the emperor so angry? Even the Ai family heard the noise outside the palace."
The Empress Dowager was helped in, and the Emperor immediately stepped forward to salute. After everyone in the hall had exited, the Emperor showed the secret fold to the Empress Dowager.
The emperor asked: "What do you think the queen mother should do about this matter?"
As if she had expected it, the Queen Mother had no special expression on her face: "Does the Emperor want to rebel?"
The emperor's whole body shivered, and there was a bit of anger in his eyes: "He dares..."
"He dares," said the Queen Mother. "Since he can do this, he has some confidence."
The Queen Mother sat down and said: "Today is different from the past. Everyone knows that King Wei was framed by King Jian and that there is inside information in King Wei's case. What excuse will the emperor use to deal with Song Chengxuan?
The son of King Wei? Then the case of King Wei must be thoroughly investigated. Before that, Song Chengxuan had made great military exploits. How could the emperor kill the hero at will? If the king of Wei was found not guilty in the end, would the emperor make Song Chengxuan the king of Wei?
The Tatars were afraid of Song Chengxuan, and if the emperor attacked him, the Tatars might take the opportunity to start another war. By then, would there be soldiers from the Great Zhou Dynasty who could go to northern Xinjiang to fight against the enemy?
If the emperor thinks all these things clearly, he can attack Song Chengxuan, otherwise... the emperor will have to hide his capabilities and bide his time before that."
The emperor's eyes turned red: "I am the emperor of Zhou Dynasty, and he is a traitor."
"That's right," the Queen Mother said, "I also believe that the emperor can hold on to the power tightly and use time to pacify the border areas and kill the rebellious ministers, but now is not the time."
"As the emperor, why can't I punish even a little Song Chengxuan?"
The Queen Mother stopped talking, turned around and walked out of the palace.
Outside the main hall, a morning sun rose slowly. The dazzling sunlight made the Queen Mother squint her eyes: "Is there really cause and effect in this world?"
The scene when King Wei was killed is still vivid in my mind.
Is it possible that one day in the future, Queen Wei's descendants will come to the palace to collect this debt from them?
The Queen Mother sighed: "The emperor cannot suppress him within five years, so he will have to think of his own way out."
Hope that day won't come.

Today is a single update. The previous plot is basically completed. I originally thought about whether to express it in the form of an extra story, but I think the main text is better. I will think about it again.
