After the rebirth, I was picked up by the prince

Ning Qingwei bent down and picked up the scroll and put it back, his tone became very helpless: "You wait for me to finish speaking first, I don't like your mother."

Qi Zizhen was puzzled: "Then why did you suddenly say that I look like my mother?"

"You read my name upside down." Ning Qingwei said as he turned to face Qi Zizhen again, and sat opposite him.

Qi Zizhen blinked, and read out softly according to Ning Qingwei's words: "Ning Qingwei read it upside down...Wei Qingning? My mother's name is...Wei Qingling!"

The shock in his eyes was even worse, and he couldn't even finish his sentence for a while: "So, so... the national teacher is, is my mother's brother?"

Ning Qingwei nodded, and stretched out his hand to remove the mask, revealing the face that was almost identical to Wei Qingling's: "To be precise, they are twins. Your mother is my sister, and you are my nephew. Say, we Or is it non-kinship?"

Qi Zizhen didn't say anything, he was still in surprise: "But... I've never heard that my mother has brothers."

It's not that he had no contact with the Wei Mansion in his previous life. He knew that Wei Qingling had an elder brother who was five years older than her, but he had never heard of a fellow brother.

Ning Qingwei put the mask on the table, lowered his eyes and said, "It's normal for you not to know. A vision came from the sky on the day Ling'er and I were born, and happened to pass by when I was appointed as a national teacher, asserting that Ling'er and I were destined to have a rough life, and even the heroic Died young. But as twins of dragon and phoenix, we are almost identical in appearance, and we are also recognized as sons of auspiciousness.

"Later, the national teacher stayed in the guard mansion for a whole year to observe, and finally decided to take the weaker me into the national teacher tower to take care of it. In order not to put the guard mansion, which has faded out of the government, from being exposed again, I no longer use my real name, When the real face appeared, it was only an orphan picked up by the national teacher inadvertently.

"Except for Wei's family, others only know that Mrs. Wei's second child is a girl with a bright nature. They don't know that there was a frail boy."

Qi Zizhen was stunned when he heard it, and because of Ning Qingwei's usual cold voice, he couldn't figure out what kind of feelings he had towards his fellow sister, so he didn't make any comments for a while.

Aware of his cautiousness, Ning Qingwei raised his hand to pour himself a cup of tea, and asked directly: "Do you want to know the story after this?"

"I would like to hear the details." Qi Zizhen nodded, with an air of listening attentively.

From Ning Qingwei's point of view, Qi Zizhen is Wei Qingling's only child, and he has the right to know everything his mother has experienced, without hiding anything, and telling him the past of the previous generation as objectively as possible.

According to Ning Qingwei, after he was taken to the National Teacher Tower when he was one year old, there was no disconnection between him and Wei Qingling.

The national teacher discussed with Mrs. Wei and Master Wei, and set up a secret passage somewhere in the Wei mansion, so that the national teacher could bring Ning Qingwei back at any time, and play with his younger sister Wei Qingling, so the relationship between their brothers and sisters has always been strong .

Ning Qingwei recuperated his body in the National Teacher Pagoda, gradually no longer took a few steps to catch his breath like when he was a child, and could play freely like a normal child.

And Wei Qingling who stayed in Weifu was influenced by Weifu's good family style since childhood, good at learning and thinking, and became a famous talented woman in the capital at a young age.

Both brother and sister feel very satisfied with their current life, and the brotherhood between the two is very close and strong.

However, in their year, accidents happened suddenly.

Wei Qingling fell in love with a scholar who was going to Beijing for the exam at that time.

Fortunately, the scholar also liked her, but unfortunately, Qi Yuan, who was most likely to become the prime minister at that time, came to propose marriage in person.

Master Wei and Mrs. Wei knew that Wei Qingling had something to do with him, and at the same time they didn't want to get involved with the court officials, so they rejected Qi Yuan's marriage proposal, and Qi Yuan left angrily.

Ning Qingwei could also see that most of Qi Yuan's marriage proposal was to use the remaining prestige of the Wei family to successfully seize the position of prime minister.He secretly reminded Wei Qingling to be careful, and try not to have too many contacts with the scholar in public.

Wei Qingling has always listened to Ning Qingwei's words very much, and the scholar also understands what happened to her, in order to prevent her from encountering any disasters on the road, every time they meet, he comes to the Wei Mansion carefully.

Ning Qingwei was worried that Qi Yuan would attack the scholar, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to inform him of the location of the secret passage in the Wei Mansion after the scholar's scientific examination was over.

However, he and Wei Qingling never waited for a scholar again.

——The scholar was implicated in a fraud case and sent to prison, and finally "suicide in fear of crime" in prison.

At that time, Ning Qingwei had just taken office as a national teacher, and knew clearly that Qi Yuan was responsible for this matter, but he was still immature, and the former national teacher had already left Beijing.

He has no right to interfere in the government, and can only watch the scholar die unjustly.

Later, Qi Yuan came to propose marriage again, and Wei Qingling agreed.

Master Wei and Mrs. Wei thought she was overly sad, and after persuading the guard Qingling insisted on marrying Qi Yuan, they reluctantly agreed to the marriage.

Only Ning Qingwei knew that Wei Qingling wanted to kill Qi Yuan when Qi Yuan was most relaxed, and then end himself.

She married into the Qi Mansion with the intention of dying.

Wei Qingling has been gentle and graceful since she was a child, and she rarely used swords and swords. Ning Qingwei was worried that she would not succeed in the assassination, but instead angered Qi Yuan first, and suggested that he pretend to be Wei Qingling and do this for her. .

Wei Qingling refused, she said it was a grievance between herself and Qi Yuan, and there was no need to involve Ning Qingwei.

Ning Qingwei had no choice but to let her go. In his spare time, he went to the Wei Mansion to teach Wei Qingling some dagger skills.

Just when everything was ready, and when Qi Yuan was the most relaxed on the wedding night of the bridal chamber, an accident happened again.

Wei Qingling found out that she was pregnant, a scholar's child.

The child is innocent, she didn't want to hurt the child left to her by the scholar, and finally decided to overthrow the previous plan temporarily, and quietly drugged Qi Yuan, who was overjoyed, during the wedding night in the bridal chamber, making him mistakenly think that the child belonged to him.

Qi Yuan believed it, but he didn't have any feelings for Wei Qingling at all, and after becoming the prime minister with the help of this marriage, he hardly cared about Wei Qingling.

Even later, Wei Qingling fell to the root of the disease during the childbirth process, and when raising Xiao Qi Zizhen to grow up, his health deteriorated day by day.

Until Xiao Qi Zizhen was about to turn five years old, Wei Qingling died of illness on the bed, only 23 years old.

During this period, Ning Qingwei occasionally went to the Prime Minister's Mansion secretly to visit her and the children. Due to the tight security of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were very few opportunities to come, especially after Wei Qingling died of illness.

After listening to Ning Qingwei's words, Qi Zizhen didn't recover for a long time.

"So... I'm not a child of the Qi family?"

His expression was dazed and ignorant, and he suddenly knew that he could not fully accept his life experience.

Ning Qingwei nodded, and said softly: "You are the blood of our Wei family. It's just that the prime minister's power has been increasing with the help of Guan Wang over the years, so I can't find a chance to sneak you back."

Qi Zizhen was still at a loss.

From now on, he has depended on his mother for life. When his mother passed away, he had no other relatives, but lived alone.After coming in through the book, he got used to the fact that there is no such role as "father" or "family". At most, there is a "brother" who is younger than him and needs him to take care of.

"Meow~"

Lingning rubbed against his arms a few times, as if sensing his helpless mood.

Ning Qingwei also raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Qi Zizhen, and continued, "I know you won't be able to accept it for a while, but you want to go to Weifu with me tomorrow and see your uncle?"

"But..." Qi Zizhen was a little flustered, he was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of his family members.

He got along with the national teacher for a while, and he could accept it slowly, but the other people in Weifu were very strange to him.

At this moment, Song Yaoxu suddenly walked in from the corridor and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I seem to have overheard some secret things unintentionally."

Ning Qingwei glanced back at him, then shook his head: "It's okay, there is no need to keep these things from His Highness."

Song Yaoxu smiled, and then looked at Qi Zizhen: "Zizhen, would you like to hear something from me?"

The gentle voice was like a spring breeze, slowly calming the fluctuations and anxiety in Qi Zizhen's heart.

He hugged the cat with lowered eyes, and nodded slightly after a while.

……

After going to court the next morning, Qi Zizhen looked at Song Yaoxu who was dressed as a guard at the door of the room, and still hesitated: "Your Highness...do you really want to accompany me?"

Yesterday in the National Teacher Tower, Song Yaoxu also comforted him a lot, and said that if he wanted to go, he would accompany him—but he didn't expect to accompany him by pretending to be a guard.

Seeing his hesitation, Song Yaoxu smiled gently: "I also have to worry about letting you go by yourself, it's better if I go with you."

Qi Zizhen shrunk his fingertips, nodded indiscriminately and said, "Then let's go, the National Teacher is already waiting under the National Teacher Tower."

Because he was going to the Wei Mansion, Qi Zizhen put on the black clothes that Ning Qingwei sent over this time.

It was not until today that he realized that the patterns embroidered on the black clothes were the same as those on the cloak given to him by the Wei Mansion before, and they were all clusters of epiphyllum that stretched out into the character "Wei".

According to Ning Qingwei, this is the family uniform of the Wei family, but no one knows about it except the Wei family.

Song Yaoxu and Qi Zizhen went out together on the grounds of going out to observe the people's sentiments, and after reaching the National Teacher Tower, they followed the National Teacher to the Weifu by a small path.

The rain that had lasted for two or three days finally stopped this morning, and the fresh fragrance after the rain lingered in the small bamboo forest.

On the way, Ning Qingwei also introduced to Qi Zizhen the current situation of the Wei Mansion.

Since Wei Qingling died of illness, Master Wei and Mrs. Wei didn't want to stay in this sad place for a long time, and it happened that their Wei family had the intention to move out of the capital before, so they took this opportunity to move to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Because of worries about Ning Qingwei who was still in the capital, and Qi Zizhen, the youngest member of the Wei family, Wei Qing'an, who succeeded the head of the Wei family—that is, the eldest brother of Ning Qingwei and Wei Qingling, stayed in the capital.

Currently there are only Wei Qing'an, his wife, and the second son in the Wei Mansion, and the eldest son left the house after the year for traveling.

Wei Qing'an's wife was also a well-known talented woman in the capital, and she was familiar with Wei Qingling. The second son, Nianzhi Jiguan, was well educated in poetry and books, but yearned for a secluded life in the countryside.

It sounds like they are relatively easy to get along with.

Qi Zizhen was still a little nervous.

He hadn't met the Wei family many times, would they really accept a strange child bearing the name of the Qi family?

However, when Qi Zizhen was thinking wildly, he suddenly felt that his palm was lightly pinched.

He raised his head to look at Song Yaoxu beside him, and met the soft, comforting smile in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I've been in touch with people from the Wei Mansion a few times." Song Yaoxu said softly, "They are all kind-hearted people, so I don't think they will have too much prejudice against you."

Qi Zizhen sniffed the scent of orchids in his nose, took a light breath and finally nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"It's nothing." Song Yaoxu raised his hand and rubbed his head, then continued to walk beside him quietly.

In order not to be constantly disturbed, the Weifu was located in a relatively remote place, almost surrounded by a large bamboo forest, the surroundings were deserted, and few people walked around.

The first person who noticed their arrival was a servant sweeping the floor in front of the bamboo forest.

When the servants saw Ning Qingwei, they saluted respectfully and then put down the broom and went to the Wei mansion to report.

Considering the possibility of reducing the exposure of Ning Qingwei's identity, few servants of the Wei family would know his identity. They only knew that the national teacher and the current head of the Wei family seemed to be on good terms, and came here every three days.

Sometimes, if he didn't want his subordinates to find out, Ning Qingwei would also follow the secret path left by the former national teacher.

But today is the first time to bring Qi Zizhen to the Wei Mansion after all, Ning Qingwei thought about it and decided to go through the front door openly.

Not long after the servant went in to report, Qi Zizhen saw a middle-aged man in his forties coming out of the mansion.

The visitor's face was serious and majestic, and he could vaguely glimpse the suave and suave appearance when he was young.

Qi Zizhen guessed that he was probably Wei Qing'an, the current head of the Wei family.

There were many people outside the mansion, Wei Qing'an only glanced at Qi Zizhen for a while, and then led them into the mansion to the reception hall.

Catching Wei Qing'an's sight, Qi Zizhen didn't feel much kindness, lowered his eyelashes to collect his thoughts, and walked in together.

The Wei mansion is very large, but the layout is not luxurious. There are mostly rockery and strange rocks, elegant scenery of ponds and flowers, which is quite a bit of the artistic conception of literati calligraphy and painting.

The winding corridor was quite long, and they walked for a long time after entering the mansion before arriving at the waiting room of the Wei mansion.

The interior decoration of the hall is also very simple, with several pots of bonsai placed, some calligraphy and painting works hung, and an antique shelf placed on the other side.

There are some rare and precious porcelains scattered on the antique shelf. The surface of the porcelain is smooth and clean, as if it has been carefully wiped not long ago.

Under Ning Qingwei's guidance, Qi Zizhen sat down on a chair on one side. Song Yaoxu, pretending to be his attendant, naturally walked up and stood behind him, which made him a little restless for a while.

But before he was uneasy for a long time, another servant brought three cups of hot tea and put one of them on the table next to Qi Zizhen.

The hot tea is still emitting a few wisps of dense white air, revealing some faint tea fragrance.

——It is calming tea.The tea he drank in the National Master Pagoda yesterday was also this kind, it was elegant and fragrant, very soothing to the mind.

On the other side, Ning Qingwei had already briefly introduced Qi Zizhen's identity to Wei Qingan, and Wei Qingan turned his gaze to him and asked, "Are you Linger's child?"

Hearing the question, Qi Zizhen behaved obediently, and answered politely: "It is the younger generation."

Wei Qing'an gave a "hmm" and didn't continue to talk to him, but instead chatted with Ning Qingwei about some small household matters, and would only ask him a few words from time to time.

Qi Zizhen just sat quietly on the seat and drank tea, answering every question, shutting up if there was no question, he was too good, but his mood was a little restless.

Later, I don't know if Ning Qingwei really felt that Wei Qingan was too annoying to talk to him all the time, so he found an excuse and went out directly, leaving Wei Qingan and Qi Zizhen staring at him.

The scene was very embarrassing.

In the end, Wei Qing'an coughed lightly, and picked a topic at random: "Before your mother died of illness...was everything okay?"

Precise stepping on mines is still the kind of pure stepping on mines if you ask.

Qi Zizhen couldn't figure out his attitude, lowered his eyelashes slightly, and replied softly: "From the looks of others, maybe my mother's life is really miserable, but before my mother died, I told the younger generation that it is very important for my mother to be able to die like this. It's also a relief."

When he spoke, his voice was not loud, and he seemed to be floating in the air at any time.

Wei Qingan let out a "hmm" and then said nothing.

The scene was very embarrassing again.

Perhaps in order to ease the atmosphere, Wei Qing'an took a sip of tea and said "I'll go see why Xiao Ning hasn't come back yet", then hurriedly got up and left the living room.

Qi Zizhen also heaved a sigh of relief after he left, took a sip of tea, thoughts welled up in his eyes.

Song Yaoxu stood behind him and watched the whole process. After Ning Qingwei left, he noticed that Ning Qingwei did not go far, but stood at the door.

Wei Qing'an left the living room, and seemed to be looking for him at the door.

He had a vague guess in his heart, so he called Qi Zizhen, who was still a little restless, and led him to the door.

Qi Zizhen followed suspiciously, but when he was two or three steps away from the door, he heard Ning Qingwei and Wei Qingan discussing something in a low voice.

"I asked Zizhen to let you talk to him, not to let you talk to me."

"But you clearly know that chatting is the worst thing big brother is good at. I think that kid seems to be quite afraid of me."

"With a dead face, do you think he's afraid of you?"

"Brother, aren't you nervous..."

Qi Zizhen, who seemed to have overheard something strange: "...Eh?"

The author has something to say: Qi·Tuanchong·Zizhen will be online soon heheheww
