Difficult for a son-in-law

Wei Ning doesn't like to come to Princess Wei very much, this seemingly indifferent woman will always give him some inexplicable pressure.

Princess Wei spoke very politely, "It's thanks to Zimin for taking care of Mingfei along the way." Princess Wei is the official wife and aunt, even if Wei Ning and Concubine Wei get closer, this thank you still has to be said.

It was this thank you that made Wei Ning feel unhappy.Although he is the younger brother of Concubine Wei, in front of Concubine Wei, Wei Ning is only Feng Jingnan's cousin.

"Are you still used to living here?"

"Princess Lao misses you, very good."

"Ming Zhan watched and tidied it up, and I just asked." Princess Wei smiled slightly, "Now that he is getting older, although I always think of him as a child in my heart, I can't help but worry when he does things. But , this worry has to be kept in the stomach, let him know that he will be unhappy."

"Zi Min is also a parent, so she must understand how I feel."

Wei Ning said softly, "The son has acted very properly since he was a child. The princess is a loving mother, so it is natural to be concerned, but there is no need to worry too much. I think the son knows it well."

"I hope so." Princess Wei smiled, picked up the jade lamp, and naturally changed the subject, "I remember that after Ming Zhan was born, Zimin came to Yunnan to congratulate him, and Ming Zhan was only so old at that time," Princess Wei said casually. After measuring it, he smiled kindly, "You still hugged him, remember?"

How could Wei Ning forget?

However, following Princess Wei's words, Wei Ning remembered another old event.

At that time, Princess Wei had been in the mansion for many years and had nowhere to go. Once she was pregnant and gave birth to twins, the emperor heard the news. Feng Jingqian not only bestowed a name on Ming Zhan's brother and sister, but also offered a big reward, and came to Yunnan to congratulate The minister who presented the reward was Wei Ning.

In fact, Wei Ning's identity is a bit embarrassing. Although he is close to Feng Jingnan, he is the younger brother of Concubine Wei.In particular, Concubine Wei had already given birth to three sons at this time, but it was the first time that Concubine Wei had given birth.The situation in the inner courtyard of the palace can be imagined.

However, the emperor ordered Wei Ning to come over, so Wei Ning had no choice but to come.

From Feng Jingnan's point of view, he really liked Concubine Wei more than Princess Wei, but the birth of his son and daughter made Feng Jingnan very happy.

At that time, Yunnan was not going well. Days of torrential rains caused the water level of Dianchi Lake to rise, but the riverbed at the outlet was narrow, resulting in flash floods and the city of Kunming was covered with ocean.In fact, floods in Kunming City have been common since ancient times. People are used to it, and it is not uncommon for it to be flooded once every three to five years.

However, there are usually more floods in the year than in summer and autumn, but Ming Qi and Ming Zhan were born in March.People's imagination is unlimited, especially when the princess is giving birth.

The original happy event was overshadowed by natural disasters, and there were many unpleasant words at that time. However, this is the son of King Zhennan, and no one can dismiss Ming Zhan just because of some baseless rumors. Get it out and strangle it.

By the time Wei Ning arrived, the rain had stopped, and order had been restored in Kunming City, Feng Jingnan also thought about receiving his little cousin.

The first time Wei Ning saw Ming Zhan was in Princess Wei's courtyard. Wei Ning was still young at that time, only 15 years old.If it wasn't for his strong relationship with the Feng family brothers, and Feng Jingqian's willingness to take care of him, this job really wouldn't be his turn.

Ming Qi and Ming Zhan were carried out by the wet nurse, and Wei Ning said that no matter how they looked at them, they couldn't tell that they were twins.Ming Qi is already white and tender, Yuxue is cute, and her facial features have a bit of the charm of the Feng family.Ming Zhan is still very thin, this is Feng Jingnan's only legitimate son, naturally there is no such thing as ill treatment, it can only be said that he has a slight congenital deficiency, which was also proved by Concubine Wei later.But in terms of appearance alone, the siblings are not quite alike.

At this time, the two siblings had passed the full moon, Ming Qi didn't know anything, her eyes were extremely lively and cute, Feng Jingnan even hugged her for a while.Ming Zhan was ignorant, sleeping with his eyes closed.

Feng Jingnan looked at it for a while, then let the wet nurse carry her down.These days, it is very common for children to die young, and Feng Jingnan is not so happy about the emaciation of his son-in-law.

Princess Wei cared very much for this son, and she took it to her side to take care of her personally.

Concubine Wei is not a scheming woman, so she accidentally said to Wei Ning, "They say that the young master is not in good health, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to support him."

Wei Ning almost wanted to cover her sister's mouth, and then sew it tightly with a needle and thread, so as to avoid trouble in life.There are some things that you can think about in your heart, and you must never say them out of your mouth.Concubine Wei didn't take it seriously at the time, but she didn't want to, but the misfortune came out of her mouth. Concubine Wei learned about it and took personal and physical evidence. She asked Feng Jingnan and Wei Ning to watch and slapped Concubine Wei.

This slap really slapped the old Wei's family in the face, but Princess Wei took up the word "reasonable", even Feng Jingnan couldn't get angry, instead she was angry at Wei Wei for being ignorant.

Princess Wei's words at that time were resounding, "Ming Zhan will grow up safely."

For the first time, Wei Ning was terrified when he heard someone say a word, but then Ming Zhan fell seriously ill.The imperial doctor of the palace, famous doctors from all over the city invited them, and they all said that they were afraid that it would not be very good.

In terms of selfishness, Wei Ning initially hoped that Ming Zhan would reincarnate as a human being earlier.But the timing is not right, Wei Concubine just committed a taboo, Ming Zhan's illness, Wei Concubine is like a frightened bird, and Wei Ning also wishes to pray to God and Buddha to pray for Ming Zhan's safety. If something happens to Ming Zhan, Wei Princess will definitely Angry Concubine Wei.

Concubine Wei and Princess Wei are really not on the same level.

Let Wei Ning say that he doesn't like a cold and rational woman like Princess Wei, but no one can deny that Princess Wei is powerful.Concubine Wei can be known by Princess Wei just by joking with her younger brother in her own room, which shows her control over the palace.

If Princess Wei wanted to deal with Concubine Wei, it would be a no-brainer.

Wei Ning is the younger brother of Concubine Wei, and he doesn't want his sister to make such a big enemy.

Everyone in the Zhennan Palace was careful, and the concubines in the inner house all spontaneously recited Buddhist scriptures and copied scriptures, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they had to do their best.Wei Ning went to have a look, and Ming Zhan was still unconscious. If he didn't still have breath, he would really have to prepare for his funeral.

Princess Wei showed the strong instinct of a mother. She stayed by Ming Zhan's side day and night and never left her.Even Wei Ning, who hated Princess Wei at that time, had some respect for Princess Wei in his heart.

In fact, Ming Zhan was indeed out of breath.

When the servant went to report the funeral to Feng Jingnan, Wei Ning was talking beside Feng Jingnan, Feng Jingnan's expression was very bad, even if he was prepared, his heart would inevitably be gloomy when he heard that his son-in-law had died.

The Department of Internal Affairs began to prepare for the funeral, Wei Ning persuaded his cousin a few words, and then went to see his sister with an umbrella, telling him that you must be sad, more sad than anyone else.

It was raining heavily that day, as if the Milky Way had overturned, and the sky and the earth were pouring down. The white lanterns and white banners of the palace fluttered in the rain, giving off a ghostly air.Wei Ning was very worried about the embankment in Yunnan for his cousin, and when he was about to rest, the servant who was waiting for him rushed in and said the news of a bolt from the blue, "Master, the young master is alive!"

The boy's expression was unspeakably frightened or something, his face was slightly pale, his body was half wet, and the mussels under his feet were also dripping with water, with the green mud on the outside, it could be seen that he rushed over to give him a hand in the rain. He delivered the letter.On such a frightening rainy night, Wei Ning felt a chill run down his spine into his brain, he unconsciously twisted the bodhi string on his wrist, and asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

"Slave, I don't know much about it, I just heard from the outside that the young master suddenly became angry, and the imperial doctors are treating him right now."

Wei Ning stopped drowsy and tired immediately, and hurriedly opened an umbrella to inquire about the news. It was almost midnight, and he couldn't enter the inner house, but there were many people guarding the door, waiting to hear the news.

When it was about three o'clock, a word came out from inside, ordering everyone to go back and rest.

This matter is so mysterious that it is hard to say whether it is good or bad.

Princess Wei said with a calm face, "Although my concubine is a woman, I have read a few history books. It is recorded in the Chronicle of the Founding of the Taizu that when the Taizu went out to fight for the Central Plains, he had a sword on his neck and lost all life. None of the doctors could save him. Empress Jingyuan waited for Taizu day and night, and once in a trance, she saw a blue dragon coming up from the clouds and bowed her head on Taizu's body. After twelve hours, Taizu died and came back to life, thus creating the foundation for all generations."

In fact, this is all nonsense, but the emperor always likes to make some relatives who are not compatible with the gods.Taizu was born in a humble family and grew up eating a variety of meals. His father and mother are no longer testable. It is really impossible to make up a joke like "Taizu's mother gave birth to a dragon and conceived." So I had to slightly exaggerate on the original basis , Begging for nothing to connect Taizu with Shenlong.

However, Princess Wei's words at this time solved Ming Zhan's predicament, and it also showed the precision of the old dowager's vision.

In fact, Feng Jingnan had a relationship with Concubine Wei early on, and the old dowager did not know that after taking over the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, she just disliked Concubine Wei's humble background and insisted on choosing another wife for Feng Jingnan, choosing the old Marquis of Yongning. The youngest daughter—Princess Wei.

It is never wrong to talk about the ancestors, not to mention the fact that the Taizu died and came back to life, which is really recorded in "The History of the Founding of the Country".Princess Wei responded like this, and Wei Ning had to praise her for being beautiful.

Princess Wei first set the tone, and then reassured her mind, "This matter about Mingzhan is a good omen for our ancestors. The concubine once made a wish in front of the Buddha, praying for the prosperity of Mingzhan. Now Mingzhan is safe, and the concubine wants to invite the prince to go with the concubine. Zhenguo Temple fulfilled the wish. Just in time, I also ask Master Ciku to make a divination for Ming Zhan."

In fact, Princess Wei doesn't believe in Buddhism at all.Not to mention Buddha statues in Buddhist halls and nunneries in her courtyard, even Buddhist beads are rare.

Master Ciku is an eminent monk in Yunnan, and the Zhennan Temple where he lives is also a royal temple, where he is enshrined by the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.Princess Wei, who is a mother-in-law, went to ask the master to divination, and the hexagram must be very good.

It was just a trip to Yunnan, and Wei Ning experienced many twists and turns, so he naturally saw Princess Wei's wrist rules.

When Wei Ning left, Ming Zhan was already at peace. Although he was still a skinny little monkey, he was much better in spirit, with aura in his eyes, and he didn't like to cry, but he was also quite cute.

Now listening to Princess Wei laughing about the past, although Wei Ning didn't know what it meant, he also said with a smile, "Your Majesty is a very blessed person."

In fact, Wei Ning is now saying that there are quite a lot of weird things in Ming Zhan's growth.For example, resurrection from death; another example, when you were young, you could not speak.It's just that it's useless to worry about these things now, Ming Zhan is smart and capable, lucky enough, and has a mother like Princess Wei.

Wei Ning has no intention of participating in the affairs of the Zhennan Palace, so naturally he only cares about flattering Princess Wei.

Concubine Wei smiled, "It's rare to see Zimin once, so I talk too much, and I missed you talking to Concubine Wei." Before Wei Ning could speak, Princess Wei ordered, "Send Lord Hou to Concubine Wei Let's go there. Tell Concubine Wei that although Lord Hou is a man, he is not an outsider, so it's okay to stay with Lord Hou for lunch."

Wei Ning could only say, "Thank you, princess."

Concubine Wei's courtyard was as luxurious and exquisite as ever. Ming Fei just came back and was talking to her mother.

Mingfei saw Wei Ning, stood up and saluted, and called "Uncle" with a smile.

It stands to reason that the relationship between the two should be very close, but because of the dispute between Ming Fei and Ming Zhan a few years ago, Wei Ning did not favor Ming Fei for some reason.Since then, Ming Fei and Wei Ning have been lukewarm.

In fact, it doesn't mean Fei, but Concubine Wei secretly sulked for a while at Wei Ning's actions at the beginning.

Concubine Wei rewarded the little girl who sent Wei Ning over, and took her younger brother to sit down, "I've been waiting for you, unfortunately, Mingli and Minglian have errands today, you can see them often, the three of us will have dinner together at noon. "

"Okay." Wei Ning looked at Concubine Wei with a smile, "Sister is still the same."

Concubine Wei was also happy to see her younger brother, "How can I not be able to change? I heard from Ming Fei that I have traveled such a long distance in such a hot day, thanks to your thoughtfulness on the way."

"It should be." No matter what, Wei Ning would take care of Ming Fei more.

"Mother, uncle has many things to trouble fourth brother this time, why not invite fourth brother to have lunch together." Ming Fei suggested with a smile.

Wei Ning saw the smile on Ming Fei's face, but didn't speak.Concubine Wei's smile faltered, and she reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense, it's enough for your uncle to be troubled by these outside matters, and we don't need to ask more questions."

Ming Fei persisted, "Fourth brother is not an outsider."

Wei Ning said lightly, "It's always inappropriate for a son and concubine to be a concubine."

These words were extremely lethal, Ming Fei's face turned pale, she bit her lip, and stopped talking.Concubine Wei sighed sadly, and said to Mingfei, "Your uncle is right. The princess is in the main courtyard, and the eldest son is the only son of the princess. I am a side concubine. Even if we meet on weekdays, I should avoid it. But you, want to talk to me If the son is close, he will go to Wangfei's place more often, there will be no harm."

"understood."
