After the rebirth, I was picked up by the prince

At the end of the New Year's Eve in the Royal Study Room, neither Qi Zizhen nor Song Yaoxu made a specific statement on Song Shi's thoughts, but both of them were more or less inspired.

The innocent and lovely Song Shi didn't feel that what he said was wrong. Seeing that they were not as distressed as before, he dragged them out to play for a while to relax, which he called a combination of work and rest.

But Qi Zizhen came in privately through the secret passage, and only played with them for a while, and agreed to spend the Spring Festival with them the next day before returning to the National Teacher Tower.

New Year's Eve always symbolizes reunion, so Qi Zizhen gave the guard a break so that he could spend a reunion night with his family.

On the other hand, he secretly left the National Teacher Tower at the invitation of the Wei Mansion, went to live in the Wei Mansion for a few days, and when he returned to the secret passage of the Wei Mansion, he met Ning Qingwei who also came secretly, and was waited in the secret passage Wei Lingyin at the door pulled them into the Wei mansion one by one.

They came here quite coincidentally, before the New Year's Eve dinner started, the Wei Mansion was already filled with the smell of the New Year's Eve dinner.

Uncle Wen Yahan and uncle Wei Qing'an were also waiting in the main courtyard hall. When they saw Qi Zizhen and Ning Qingwei, they greeted them to take their seats, and then dragged Wei Lingshen back who was busy practicing sword. A lively dinner began.

This was the first time that Qi Zizhen felt the excitement of New Year's Eve in more than 20 years.

In the present world, his father passed away before he could remember anything, and his parents also left early. There are no familiar relatives in their family. Every New Year's Eve and Spring Festival he spends with his mother. After his mother passed away He is used to living alone.

After coming in through the book, Qi Zizhen, as a child who is not favored by the family, actually spends every New Year's Eve and Spring Festival in his room by himself, and is occasionally called by Qi Yuan to have a meal, but Qi Yuan is always at the dinner table. Her cold face and her stepmother's bitterness.

He has never felt such a lively and harmonious reunion atmosphere.

Ning Qingwei and Wei Lingyin, who were sitting closest to him, both noticed his obviously different mood.

Wei Lingyin even took a large piece of chicken and fish with his serving chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Come on, Xiaozhen, eat more, you are not yet old enough to be crowned, maybe you can fight for another Get taller."

One sentence hit Qi Zizhen's pain point directly, and all the little thoughts of hurting the spring and autumn were left in him.

Wen Yahan seemed unable to see it, and scolded with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

As she said that, she also put a large piece of pork in front of Qi Zizhen, and smiled kindly: "Come and eat more. If there is not enough food, tell my aunt that there is more in the dining room. Don't listen to your second son." Brother nonsense, what is fighting? Our Zizhen is still young, so we can definitely grow taller!"

Qi Zizhen, who didn't really want to discuss too much on the topic of growing taller, didn't respond, but silently ate the pile of hills in front of him.

Then when he returned to the resting room that night, he received a bowl of warm milk from Wei Qing'an without saying a word, leaving only a note saying that he was not in good health, drinking milk was good for his health and could also help him grow taller.

...So it's hard to get along with Changgao, right?

Qi Zizhen, who was shorter than his peers because of malnutrition, drank the milk depressedly, but still accepted the kind care and love of Wei's family.

So when he got up the next morning, he saw another bowl of milk on the table, and he no longer had any more ups and downs.

After a brief wash, he changed into a new set of red-backed gold-patterned clothes prepared for him by Wei's family, and then simply tied his hair into a ponytail with a red gold-edged fringed headband. He went back to the table and picked up a small pastry pad to cushion his stomach. I just picked up the milk and finished it in one sip.

At this moment, he heard a knock on the door, followed by the voice he was most familiar with: "Zizhen? Are you up?"

It was Song Yaoxu who came.

Qi Zizhen originally wanted to let Song Yaoxu come in, but after thinking about it, he ran to open the door by himself, and the moment he opened the door, he threw himself on Song Yaoxu and hugged him, and said with a smile, "Happy New Year, Your Highness."

Song Yaoxu was beaten by him, and he smiled helplessly after a while, rubbing his head and responding: "Happy New Year. Why did you become so clingy today?"

"I learned from Xiaoshi." Qi Zizhen quickly let go of his hand again, and stood obediently in front of Song Yaoxu.

Song Yaoxu pinched his face lightly, walked into the room with him with a smile, and asked casually, "Zizhen seems to smell like milk, did he drink milk just now?"

Qi Zizhen nodded, followed into the room, and regained his expressionless expression: "Uncle sent it, saying it will help you grow taller."

Seeing him like this, Song Yaoxu guessed that he was probably poked into a sore spot, but instead of comforting him like before, he pretended to think for a while and said, "Well, it is true that I can grow taller, otherwise I will look like a child Like."

Qi Zizhen looked sideways at Song Yaoxu's direction, and seeing the unconcealable smile in his eyes, he knew that he was joking with himself, so he simply stopped following his words and spread his hands in front of him: "Then Your Highness is Shouldn't I give this child a New Year's Eve money?"

He blinked, with a very innocent look, only Song Yaoxu was reflected in his clear black eyes.

With a smile on his face, Song Yaoxu put one hand on his cold palm, then clenched it suddenly, gently pulled the person towards him, leaned over and kissed his lips, sucking the sweet milk in his mouth taste.

Considering that he will go out later, Song Yaoxu really let go of him after a short kiss this time, and said softly in a low voice: "I am in a hurry to leave the palace in the morning, and I will replenish you later."

Hugged and kissed, Qi Zizhen was satisfied and didn't stay on the topic of lucky money any longer, and after rearranging, he went out of the room with Song Yaoxu.

Then he ran into Song Shi who was flying towards him.

"Brother Qi, happy new year!"

Song Shi rushed over and gave him a quick hug. He was dressed in bright orange new clothes and looked like a lively and cheerful little sun, which made people feel better unconsciously.

And behind Song Shi was Xu Xiaoqi who timidly followed him, he smiled shyly, and said softly: "I have met your majesty and the national teacher, happy new year."

"Happy New Year." Qi Zizhen slowed down his tone, "Why is Xiaoqi here?"

"Xiao Shi and Brother Jin met on the way here!" Song Shi answered vigorously, smiling happily, "It happens that Brother Xiao Qi is fine in the morning, so let's take Brother Xiao Qi to play together, shall we?"

Of course Qi Zizhen would not refuse, he only agreed to ask Xu Xiaoqi's opinion politely and confirmed that he was really free in the morning.

Generally speaking, the Ling Dynasty didn't pay much attention to the morning of the first day of the first lunar month. Basically, the adults gave the children lucky money, and the children could go and play with their friends, and the banquet in the evening was more lively and grand.

As the emperor, Song Yaoxu also had an important banquet at night, so he specially took Song Shi and ran out of the secret passage in the morning, planning to spend the morning with Qi Zizhen and then go back after lunch.

Song Yaoxu, Song Shi, and Xu Xiaoqi all had breakfast before they came. Qi Zizhen just got up and only ate something, so he asked Song Yaoxu to take the two children to play nearby first, and went to the hall to eat breakfast. meal.

And in the hall, people were serving breakfast one after another, and the rest of the Wei family members were already chatting and waiting in the hall.

Including himself, he was the youngest of the six people present, and Wei Lingyin stuffed him with a large amount of New Year's money just after he walked in, followed by Wen Yahan, Wei Qing'an and Wei Lingshen, not to be outdone, very Enthusiastically gave him lucky money.

Ning Qingwei was very calm at this moment, and waited until the others had finished giving, and then thoughtfully took out a purse that matched his clothes, enough for him to put away all the lucky money that had nowhere to put it.

Wei Lingyin looked at the purse and said with a sigh: "I'm careless, I didn't expect my uncle to have this trick."

It sounds like a lost favor.

Qi Zizhen received a lot of love from Wei's family, and when he heard this, he just rolled his eyes and smiled, and said "Happy New Year" one by one, and then was dragged to a seat by Wen Yahan, and had breakfast together.

During the breakfast, Wei's family also talked about light and everyday topics. Later, they specifically asked about Qi Zizhen's situation, such as how he is doing recently, whether he is used to living in the National Teacher Tower, whether he was hungry or cold, etc. wait.

Qi Zizhen patiently answered one by one, and after breakfast was over, he basically reported the latest situation.

Everyone in the Wei family knew that Song Yaoxu, Song Shi, and Xu Xiaoqi had come over this morning, so they didn't keep him after breakfast, and let him go out to have a good meal, which was a rare relaxation all year round.

However, on the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, most of the people in the capital are still resting. Compared with the streets, the market is not as lively as usual, and it will take a few more days.

Qi Zizhen and the others didn't feel bored at all. They walked around the capital and watched the white expanse covered by the red firecracker fragments. They were very happy.

After walking around for a while, the morning time is almost over.

The two adults, two children and four people reckoned that it was time to start preparing lunch, and went back to the Wei Mansion together.

Since there were too many Song Yaoxu, Song Shi and Xu Xiaoqi for lunch, after thinking about it, Wen Yahan took Ning Qingwei to prepare a big meal by herself.

When Song Yaoxu returned to the Wei Mansion, Ning Qingwei happened to be going to the dining room, so after thinking about it, he went to the dining room to help.

Song Shi and Xu Xiaoqi were brought by Wei Lingshen to the gate of the Wei Mansion, where they played with the firecrackers they bought in the morning.

As a prince, Song Zhi saw this kind of thing for the first time, and he had a great time playing with Xu Xiaoqi.

Qi Zizhen stood at the door, listening to the crackling firecrackers and the laughter of the two children, feeling the real taste of the new year in a trance.

It turns out that this is what it feels like to celebrate the New Year with a group of people.

At this moment, Wei Lingyin walked up to him, and asked with a smile, "Xiao Zhen hasn't played with firecrackers before, has she? Why don't you play with them?"

Qi Zizhen shook his head: "I don't really like the smell of firecrackers, just take a look."

Wei Lingyin didn't say anything more, and asked again: "Have you encountered any problems in the court recently?"

His tone was more casual, as if he was just asking casually as the second brother who cared about his younger brother.

Qi Zizhen didn't think much about it, so he briefly said something about Zhou Hancai.

Wei Lingyin did not comment after listening, and asked again with a smile: "Did Xiaozhen not read the little bag I gave you before?"

Qi Zizhen was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that it was the small bag that Wei Lingyin gave him when he returned from the border, confirmed that the palace was stable and planned to return to the East Palace.

At that time, Wei Lingyin told him that he would not be able to open it until he became the national teacher, but he simply forgot about it.

Seeing his expression, Wei Lingyin knew that he probably remembered it just now, so he didn't say much, just asked him to find it when he was free.

Before Qi Zizhen could say anything else, Song Yaoxu came out to remind them that dinner was ready.

Wei Lingyin went straight up to tell the children to go back to eat, while Qi Zizhen followed Song Yaoxu back first.

A table full of dishes has been re-arranged in the hall, including chicken, duck and fish. Although it looks more simple than delicacies from mountains and seas, it is also rich enough.

Song Yaoxu didn't put on the emperor's airs throughout the whole process, and only regarded himself as Qi Zizhen's friend when they got along, so the Wei family didn't feel restrained because of his presence, and they chatted happily when they should.

After lunch, Wei Lingshen, Wei Qingan, Wen Yahan, Ning Qingwei and their brothers, who was older than Song Yaoxu, even gave Song Yaoxu a copy after giving the two children lucky money.

Although Song Yaoxu was not short of money, he still accepted the wishes from Wei's family.

Qi Zizhen sat beside him and watched with one hand resting on his chin, always having the illusion that he was bringing his wife home.

There was some smile in his eyes, just at this moment Song Yaoxu looked back at him, understood after a while, and smiled at him.

After lunch, Song Yaoxu and Song Shi had to go back to the palace as soon as possible. The Wei family didn't stay much, and Ning Qingwei sent them to the gate of Weifu.

Qi Zizhen also took advantage of this time to talk to Ning Qingwei, and went back to the National Master Tower to find the small bag that Wei Lingyin gave him before.

At the beginning, he thought that Wei Lingyin's expression seemed to be very important, so he specially found a safe and secret place to put it away, and after searching for a long time, he finally found the cloth bag from a small corner.

This cloth bag is only the size of a palm, very light, almost weightless.

Qi Zizhen opened the cloth bag curiously, and saw that there seemed to be several neatly folded papers inside. There were two copies in total, and the words "Zhi Xiaozhen" were written on one of them.

He opened the letter, and only after skimming through it did he realize that the other piece of paper actually recorded part of the power of the Weifu in the court.

Although the Wei Mansion has withdrawn from the court long ago, but as the saying goes, the Wei family, which was once prominent in the court, wants to continue to live in peace and stability in the capital, it is still necessary to establish a certain network of relationships.

In addition to Wei Qing'an's generation, Ning Qingwei became a national teacher and stepped into the court. In order to ensure that members of their Wei family will not be bullied in the court, they still need to have their own power.

So this task fell on Wei Lingyin, who was the most sociable.

Wei Lingyin himself longs for a leisurely life in the countryside, but he also knows that his family comes first, and he looks leisurely on weekdays, but in fact he has already had close contacts with people he thinks can be used by the Wei family.

Moreover, he often interacts with these people in his own name, and the most talked about in public places is where is the best place to go if he lives in seclusion in the future. Others only think that they are fellows who yearn for the wild cranes, and never think deeply about it.

Qi Zizhen remembered the question that Wei Lingyin asked him at the gate of the Wei Mansion today, and he had a premonition in his heart. He was about to open another stack of papers, and sure enough, the first name on the first paper was Zhou Hancai.

In other words, Zhou Hancai is the closest person among the Wei family forces!
