Rebirth of Glory and Splendour

I am Wei Tuantuan, I am three years old this year. When I was born, my father had already been canonized as the crown prince of Dayan, so when I was born, I was the most noble baby in the whole world.

I once eavesdropped on the words of the little maids who took care of me. They said that the moment I was born, there were colorful clouds floating in the sky, and the red sun burst out from the east.

The emperor's grandfather was ecstatic about my birth, and immediately named me the emperor's grandson, and I became the second emperor's grandson of the Dayan Dynasty to be named a grandson.I don't quite understand what Taisun means, but I know that the emperor's grandfather must like me very much.

The guy lying sideways beside me, with his hands and feet all wrapped around me, and the guy who almost spit on my face with saliva bubbles is called Wei Yuanyuan.He is my younger brother. He is also three years old this year. He looks exactly like me. His biggest hobby is to hug me when he sleeps.

In fact, I don't really like Wei Yuanyuan hugging me to sleep. Although his body is very fragrant and soft, he is too lazy. He has to sleep until the sun is high every day before getting up. It's not enough.

The emperor's grandfather said, I am the grandson, and I am the one who wants to be a prince and an emperor in the future. I must work hard since I was a child, and I will not let up in the slightest.But every time I want to work hard, Wei Yuanyuan will hold me back by the side, which is really troublesome.

For example, now that the sky is bright, I have woken up, and I can go to the martial arts field to practice kung fu with my little aunt.

but……

Before I had time to separate Wei Yuanyuan's arms and legs, he seemed to have a premonition that I would "abandon" him, not only hugging me tighter, but also softly shouted: "Brother , don't move..."

So, I didn't dare to move.

As my father said, I am an elder brother, and I must know how to take care of my younger siblings.

Yes, besides my younger brother Wei Yuanyuan, I also have a younger sister named Wei Nannan. She is only four months old. I don't care, it doesn't matter how long I like to sleep.

Wei Yuanyuan is different, he loves to cry when someone wakes him up, and no one can coax him when he cries.

I'm most afraid that Wei Yuanyuan will cry, so I can only let him go everywhere. If he won't let me move, I can only really not move.

Lying on the bed with my eyes open is boring, I have nothing to do but go back to sleep, anyway my little aunt is used to me and Wei Yuanyuan being absent, so she won't say much.

When I woke up again, the sky was already bright, and Wei Yuanyuan woke up before me this time, sitting cross-legged next to me with a smug smile on her face: "Brother sleeps late, I want to tell daddy, hehe..."

I rolled my eyes speechlessly, too lazy to talk to him.

Seeing that Wei Yuanyuan and I woke up, the little maids filed in to help us get dressed and washed.

Although my father is the crown prince, our family does not live in the East Palace—the place where only princes are said to be qualified to live—but lives in Yongfu Palace, which is the closest to Zichen Palace. The East Palace is where my father works. He will come back to sleep at night.

Before there was no Wei Nannan, Wei Yuanyuan and I lived with our father, but after having a younger sister, we were moved to the Xipei Hall.

I'm fine, I just lost my temper for a few days and refused to pay attention to my father and father. After packing and taking away, this matter is considered to be over.

Wei Yuanyuan and I lived in Chengqian Palace, the main palace of Zichen Palace, for more than half a year, and we didn't move back to Yongfu Palace until Wei Nannan's full moon.

Although sometimes, I would bother Wei Nannan to cry, but Wei Yuanyuan and I would go to see her every morning, without exception.

After washing up under the service of the little maid, Wei Yuanyuan and I went out the door hand in hand, and went to the bedroom next door to say hello.Father Wang and Daddy got up early, and were playing with Wei Nannan who had just had milk, and we heard her laughter before we entered the door.

Wei Nannan occupied her father's arms, Wei Yuanyuan rushed towards her father, and smiled at me triumphantly after her father picked him up, did he think I would care about him, really naive.

Although I can't see the expression on my face, I personally feel that I must be very serious. Unexpectedly, the father only took one look at me, then leaned forward and back with a smile, and pointed at me and said to Dad: "I am pregnant!" Xi, look, Tuantuan is so cute, and the emperor did not choose the wrong person."

Daddy glanced at his father, hugged Wei Yuanyuan with his left hand, and picked me up with his right hand, and said with a light smile, "Tuantuanyuan is still young, so you can tell the difference." Wei Yuanyuan kissed each cheek.

Not to be outdone, the father also leaned over and kissed us, which made the neglected Wei Nannan yell "Wow".The father smiled even more happily, he kissed Wei Nannan, and said seriously: "Of course it's different, but Tuantuan is the grandson, so it's good for them."

The father's words were too profound, and I basically didn't understand them, but I understood one thing, that is, Wei Yuanyuan and I are different.

It's just that I still don't understand the difference between the grandson of the emperor and the king of Linjiang.

Time flies, like a fleeting moment, in the blink of an eye, it is the fifth year of Zhenghe, and Wei Yuanyuan and I are going to study in the palace.

Wei Yuanyuan seemed to be very resistant to this matter, and talked with her father every day, and wanted to go to the palace school a year later, but her father disagreed, he said that we should have gone last year, just because of Wei Yuanyuan. It has been postponed for a year, and it cannot be postponed this time.

Wei Yuanyuan was not reconciled, and continued to struggle. I watched anxiously from the side, and I was afraid that my father would not be able to beat him.

But I never thought that my father didn't say anything, and started to scream pain while hugging his stomach, and then Wei Yuanyuan and I were invited out.

Three hours later, I had a second younger brother. His nickname was Wei Quanquan, and I named him Wei Quanquan.

Because of the quarrel between Wei Yuanyuan and father, the little brother was born half a month earlier. The father was very angry when he heard the news, and sent us to the palace school on time.I have no objection to this, even though I didn't go to palace school, my little aunt is still teaching me to recite books that I don't understand.

The grandfather said that after entering the palace school, there will be masters who will slowly explain the contents of those books to us. I am looking forward to it.

But what I didn't expect was that two days before entering the palace school, the imperial grandfather suddenly ordered me to move into Changhe Palace, one of the three rear palaces of Zichen Palace, and I will live with him from now on.

I don't understand why Wei Yuanyuan, Wei Nannan and Wei Quanquan can all follow their father and daddy, but I can't.

But I never asked this question to anyone, because I thought that father and father and younger brothers and sisters, but the emperor's grandfather is alone, and my little aunt spends far more time outside the palace than in the palace. Changhe Palace, you can always accompany him.

Several years later, when I was already the crown prince of the Dayan Dynasty, I realized one thing. The emperor wanted to raise me himself, not because he was lonely and wanted to find someone to accompany him, but because he wanted everyone to be with me. Understand that my identity is different from Wei Yuanyuan.

The circle of Wei is not yet full moon, and she can do nothing but drink milk and howl. Wei Nannan has a delicate personality, and is jealous of her little brother at every turn. Wei Yuanyuan was taught a lesson by her father, and she will soon go to the palace to study, which is also a The stomach is not happy, and Yongfu Palace is in chaos like a pot of porridge.

At this time, I have to pack my luggage, leave my father and father and move to the Changhe Palace to live alone.

Maybe it was because I was afraid that I would have some bad thoughts. During that time, my father talked to me in a gentle and gentle way. It didn’t mean that he could go to Zichen Palace to visit me every day and told me not to be afraid, but he just told me to listen to the emperor’s words. In the words of the grandfather, you can no longer play around like a child.

I think my father has wronged me a bit, I am not Wei Yuanyuan, I am coquettish and self-willed, when will I mess around, but I still nodded honestly and told him and my father that I will be obedient and serious Reading will definitely not disturb the emperor's grandfather.

Not long after my father gave birth to a little brother, my father asked him to lie on the bed and rest all day long, and he was not allowed to come down, so he simply hugged me to sit by the bed, and asked me in a low voice: "Tuantuan, did you have a father and a father?" angry?"

I thought about it, and shook my head lightly, why did my father ask the same question as my father.

Dad didn't seem to believe my words, so he asked again and again: "Really? Do you think this is unfair to you?"

I didn't hesitate, and said directly: "No." I am the grandson of the emperor, not Wei Yuanyuan, so I can't let him move away.

It might be because my answer was too fast. Dad was very surprised and didn't speak for a long time. I was afraid that he still wouldn't believe me, so I said seriously: "Daddy, I'm an older brother. I have to take care of my younger brother. Wei Yuanyuan is so timid. It would be scary to move away alone."

Dad's eyes became even more unbelievable, he didn't say anything, and suddenly he hugged me tightly into his arms.

Moving to Zichen Palace this time is completely different from the temporary residence when I was three years old.That time, when Wei Yuanyuan and I were young, the imperial grandfather did not put us alone in Changhe Palace or Yongxing Palace, but in the main bedroom of Chengqian Palace, just a wall away from his residence.

But this time, the imperial grandfather seemed to feel that I was no longer a child, so he placed me in the Changhe Palace alone, and let me arrange all the palace servants by myself, he had no intention of interfering at all.

But it doesn't bother me, anyway, I have seen my father handle the palace affairs - the imperial grandfather has no queen, the phoenix seal is naturally in the hands of my father, because he is the prince's inner emperor - as long as the palace people are assigned a good job. That's it, nothing complicated.

The royal grandfather was very satisfied with my performance. Although he didn't show it in front of me, I heard him tell my father that I was much smarter than he was when he was young. My father gave me a disconvinced look with fierce eyes Damn, but I'm not afraid of him at all.

Gongxue's homework is easier than I imagined, I can understand it after listening to it once, it's quite boring.

Wei Yuanyuan didn't like reading since he was a child, and he never listened carefully to what his little aunt taught him. When he entered the palace school, he was still the same, sleeping in class.

Wei Yuanyuan and I sat in the middle of the first row, and Shao Fu could see it when he looked up. I was afraid that he would be criticized, so I poked him lightly with my finger, but Wei Yuanyuan ignored me at all. Fang Xiang continued to sleep, sleeping soundly.

Seeing this, I was anxious, so I stretched out my hand to pinch Wei Yuanyuan, trying to wake him up.

Maybe it was because I acted a little harder, before Wei Yuanyuan opened her eyes, she burst into tears with a "wow".

I suddenly became overwhelmed, we have lived together for six years, and I have never made Wei Yuanyuan cry.

Shaofu heard the sound and came over and asked us what was going on, I was still in a daze, Wei Yuanyuan said first: "Brother pinches me..."

Shao Fu turned his head and looked at me. I felt a little wronged for no reason, so I argued, "Yuanyuan fell asleep, so I... pinched him."

If it were the other masters of Gong Xue, it would be good to say a few words about us separately, but this Young Master Jiang, his status is unusual, he is not only my Young Master, but also the hereditary king of Yong'an, he is very respectful to me. The requirements have always been the strictest.

No, it was obviously Wei Yuanyuan who slept in class and didn’t listen to Shao Fu’s lectures. I just woke him up in a wrong way, but in the end he was fined to copy "The Analects of Confucius" once, and I was fined to copy "The Analects of Confucius" three times , Jiang Shaofu's eccentricity can be seen from this.

What makes me even more depressed is that I copied almost half of Wei Yuanyuan's "The Analects" for him.

The emperor's grandfather obviously knew the behavior of Wei Yuanyuan and me well. He once asked me why I did this afterwards.

I frowned and said distressedly: "If I don't help him, Yuanyuan will definitely cry. I don't want to see him cry."

The imperial grandfather sighed faintly, and a strange look appeared on his face that I couldn't understand. Could it be that there was something wrong with what I said.

She worked so hard to copy half of "The Analects of Confucius", Wei Yuanyuan is a lot more honest, not to mention how serious she is in class, at least she doesn't dare to distract herself or go to sleep, and the homework assigned by the masters will be completed on time. , I can't say.

No matter the grandfather or father, Wang Daddy, they didn't have high requirements for Wei Yuanyuan's studies, but they had completely different attitudes towards me. Wei Yuanyuan could deal with the homework perfunctorily, but I couldn't, I had to figure it out Clear and clear.

That was the first time I really felt the meaning of the identity of the emperor's grandson.

In addition to attending palace school classes every day, the imperial grandfather would sometimes take me with him to review memorials or summon ministers in Xuanshi Hall, and let me listen in on their conversations. He didn't seem to have thought about whether I could understand those family members at my age. State affairs.

Fortunately, my task is to listen, not to express opinions.However, if the imperial grandfather had a whim, he would tell me the contents of certain excerpts in detail, and then ask me what to do. Most of the time, he could not help laughing when he heard my answer.

I used to be very worried, whether I said something wrong, in exchange for the emperor's grandfather's reaction.

But he kept this habit for several years, until he passed the throne of the empire to his father.

In the beginning, when the imperial grandfather asked me something, I just wanted to give a general idea, but later, he asked for specific methods and steps to solve the problem.I had no choice but to check the precedents, or ask relevant officials for advice, and then try to write the notes myself.

The days are like flowing water, flowing forward without rush or slowness, but my life maintains an unchanging rhythm.

In the ten years of Zhenghe, the imperial grandfather did two unexpected things.First, he named his little aunt as Princess Leyi and descended to Yongan Wang Jiangyao, also known as Jiang Shaofu; second, he announced his abdication and passed the throne to his father, who had been the crown prince for ten years.

It has been the practice since ancient times for the emperor's daughter to be named a princess, and it is not unusual, but the little aunt is nominally only the adopted daughter of the emperor's grandfather, so it is not appropriate to be named a princess, at least the old men in Zongzheng Temple think so.

Zong Zhengqing told the emperor's grandfather that the little aunt is the daughter of Marquis Wu'an, and following the example of Marquis Zhennan, it would be considered a favor to be named the head of the county.After all, the daughter of the Marquis of Zhennan was granted the title of county lord because he had no sons after his death. Although Marquis Wu'an also had no sons, he was still alive, only in his early forties, and in good health. If there is no son, even if he has outstanding military exploits, and his daughter is the adopted daughter of the emperor's grandfather, the title of county master will be over. The princess is too much, and it is unreasonable.

The emperor's grandfather was born in the army, and his character was the most stubborn. He didn't like to hear such words. Besides, because of his father's name, he had long hated Shangzong Zhengsi. The more they objected, the more he insisted, and he would not give in.

Conferring a princess with a different surname is a family matter of the royal family. Although it is a bit out of the ordinary, it will not endanger the country. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wisely kept silent.

Zongzheng Temple made several disturbances, but the imperial grandfather pretended not to hear about it, and the little aunt's princess title and marriage were settled.

Compared with what happened later, Princess Le Yi was just a small episode, and there was no further disturbance.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the tenth year of Zhenghe, the emperor's grandfather announced that he would abdicate. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, and they knelt down to ask His Majesty to think twice.

Only the father was not polite at all, and respectfully said to Jishou: "My son obeys the order!"

To be honest, I was a little dumbfounded at the time.Father, do you want to be so blunt in agreeing?

It is rare for an emperor to abdicate in the past dynasties, but it is not without precedent.As far as I know of examples, there was no time when the emperor said repeatedly that he would abdicate, the ministers begged in every possible way, and the prince resigned in every possible way, and finally he reluctantly agreed.

But my father was fine, he nodded and agreed without thinking, which is really surprising.

Afterwards, I asked my father why he was so direct, so he had to put on a show to make a good impression.

He curled his lips and said that there was no need for this. This was something he and the imperial grandfather had discussed a long time ago, and they pushed back and forth to do something.

I was stunned for a moment, it turned out that the trust my father had in the imperial grandfather was far deeper than I had in him.

The emperor's grandfather had made up his mind, and the ministers shouted "Think twice, Your Majesty" several times, and they all accepted the fact.

When the father was still the son of King Qin, he made great military exploits in recovering Yizhou and Qiongzhou.After he became the prince, due to the poor health of the emperor's grandfather, he had already handled most of the government affairs. Although the methods of doing things were relatively simple and rude, they were still effective.

With military exploits, political achievements, and being the only son of the emperor, his father's position as king is justified.

When the new emperor succeeds to the throne, the first thing to do is to change the Yuan Dynasty. The new year name "Wanchang" was set by the emperor's grandfather, which means eternal prosperity forever.

My father has become my father, and my father and I's identities have also been upgraded. He is the queen, and I am the crown prince.Wei Yuanyuan is still the king of Linjiang, Wei Nannan and Wei Quanquan have not yet taken Yuanfu, so naturally they have no titles.

Father's harem is not much more lively than his grandfather's, but on the first day he took the throne, he let me move to the East Palace, the place where he didn't live for a day when he was the prince, it was just for office.

I was a little surprised, but I didn't say anything, and obeyed obediently.

The emperor's grandfather said that I am different from my father. His position as the crown prince cannot be shaken, but I cannot easily make mistakes.

The East Palace is very big, comparable to the Zichen Palace, and there are many people in the East Palace, but I have a feeling that I am the only one here.

When the father ascended the throne, all the surrounding countries sent envoys to congratulate him, including Nanyue.The relationship between Nanyue and Dayan is somewhat unusual. Their deceased queen mother was Princess Yunmeng, the eldest daughter of Emperor Renzong, and also the most respected cousin of his father.

Ruan Meng, who came to court this time, was his aunt's youngest son. He lived in Changle Palace when he was young, and he didn't return to his homeland until the death of Empress Xiaoren.

The other envoys congratulated and did not stay long, only Ruan Meng stayed in Yujing under the pretext of studying abroad.Father and father treated Ruan Meng very well, not only let him live in the palace, but also let him study with me and Wei Yuanyuan.

At first, I didn't think much of Ruan Meng's existence, he was just a little prince of Fanbang, but he had more blood relationship with the royal family.I have quite a few companions, and it is nothing to have one more, and there is nothing worthy of special attention.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Meng paid special attention to me, and came to visit me in the East Palace whenever he had nothing to do.

The first time I received a post from Ruan Meng, I thought he had something serious to say, and I didn't want him to see me, but the first thing he said was: "I haven't seen you for a few years, why are you getting less cute as you grow older? "

Ever since I moved to the Changhe Palace, even my father and my father rarely called me by my nickname. Why did I hear this name? My first reaction was not anger, but surprise, and then I subconsciously asked: "What do we do?" Have you seen it before?"

Theoretically speaking, Ruan Meng and I may have met, but I have no memory of it.

"Of course I have." Ruan Meng immediately nodded and said, "Tuantuan, you used to call me Brother Ning. When I was about to leave, you still cried and chased me to the gate of the palace, grabbing my sleeve and not letting go."

I looked at him stupidly, but I shouted in my heart, this is impossible, I will never do such a shameful thing.
