Chapter 002
The sharp lightning, like a sharp blade, suddenly cut through the dark blue sky, splitting the sky in half.
The terrifying lightning that was enough to illuminate the entire night sky had just disappeared, and the magnificent Weiyang Palace trembled under the violent vibration.
Another thunderclap sounded, as if it was about to tear the sleeping earth into pieces, and it also awakened countless people who had already fallen asleep.
Lightning flashes and thunder, torrential rain pours down, and the galloping Milky Way gushes out from the cracks opened by the lightning, and flows ferociously towards the world.
Inside the Jiaofang Hall, the palace people shuttled back and forth, lit all the candles, and illuminated the palace as bright as day.
The emperor frowned displeasedly, and asked, "Who is making noise outside?"
Empress Wei Zifu sat opposite him, with a calm expression, but there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes, and his slender fingers were tightly clenched.
Although there are some people in the folk that "there is no joy in having a boy, no anger in giving birth to a daughter, but Wei Zifu dominates the world", but she knows very well in her heart that since she gave birth to the prince and was named queen three years ago, the emperor's thoughts on her, It has gradually faded.
Today, it was rare for the emperor to drive around the Jiaofang Palace. When the two talked about the three princesses and the little prince, they were somewhat close in the past.
Unexpectedly, in the evening, there will be heavy wind and rain first, and then there will be noise from the palace people.The former is God's will, beyond the reach of manpower, but the latter is obviously due to her lack of control, so Wei Zifu is inevitably a little uneasy.
After a while, an elderly palace official came in from outside the palace, and Jishou said: "Your Majesty, it was the prince's nanny who asked to see the queen, and said that the prince was awakened by the thunder, and he woke up crying. , I can only come to see the queen."
Wei Zifu's expression froze when he heard this, he was worried about his son's condition, and also worried that the emperor might not like the little prince's temperament.
She had been in the palace for more than ten years and gave birth to three daughters in succession before she got a son. It was also because this son got the queen's position that she inevitably spoiled the little prince.
The little prince is quiet by nature, and with the loving care of his mother and sisters, his temperament is even weaker. In the eyes of the talented and generous emperor, he can't help being "not like himself".
Of course, the prince is still young, and he is the only prince in the palace. His existence alone is enough for the emperor to favor him, so he won't care too much for the time being.
The little prince is innocent and has no sense of his own situation, but Wei Zifu, as a mother, can't think deeper.
Now, the emperor favors Mrs. Wang, who has a slender physique and a graceful waist, and it is only a matter of time before a prince is born.At that time, what the emperor will look at, besides how much he loves his mother, must be the prince's own aptitude.
The great Han admired filial piety and emphasized "governing the world with filial piety", and the emperor respected his biological mother even more.As a queen, Wei Zifu would often take the little prince to Changle Palace to greet the Queen Mother and chat with her to relieve boredom.
The queen mother has always been not salty to Wei Zifu, but she loves her eldest grandson deeply, but she occasionally reveals in words that the quiet and well-behaved little prince is far from the lively and active emperor when he was a child.
The Empress Dowager Xu just said it casually, and then forgot it afterwards, but Wei Zifu would think that the little prince will study and learn swords in two years, if he is still so shy and introverted, I am afraid that he will really lose his heart.
It's not that Wei Zifu never thought about changing his son's character, but unfortunately the results were minimal.Last year, Wei Qing sharpened a wooden sword for him, and he was so excited when he got it, "Uncle, uncle" called it differently, and it was still rolling around in Wei Qing's arms.
Soon afterwards, Huo Qubing entered the palace to pay her respects, and teased the little prince that he would teach him how to use a sword.Unexpectedly, the little guy plunged forward, calling "cousin" sweetly, but he didn't intend to take the sword at all, let alone practice.
Princess Wei and the sisters met and laughed non-stop, but Wei Zifu sighed helplessly. Her son really didn't look like an emperor at all.
If the emperor was not here, Wei Zifu would have gone directly to the side hall to look after the child.The little prince loves to cling to his relatives, not only his mother and sister, but also his uncle and cousin. He is very affectionate when he sees him, but he is not very dependent on those who serve him.
Wei Zifu hesitated, whether to let someone bring the child over, in such a windy and windy weather, with endless lightning and thunder, the nannies couldn't coax the little prince well.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to open her lips, the emperor had already said: "Since that's the case, hurry up and bring the prince here. If you're scared, I'll wait for you to ask."
Not long after, the three-year-old little prince was carried by the nanny from the side hall. Wei Zifu was about to pick him up, but the emperor grabbed him first, and he couldn't help but froze in place.
The emperor loved his son, and Wei Zifu never doubted this.
Three years ago, she gave birth to the little prince. The emperor who was approaching the age and had a son was ecstatic. He ordered Dongfang Shuo and Mei Gao to compose the Fu of the Crown Prince's Life and the Fu of the Prince Li, which was equivalent to announcing it in advance. The newborn baby in the world is the crown prince of the big man.
Later, in order to thank God for bestowing his first prince, the emperor built a shrine to God of Marriage and Fertility to worship.
The addition of a child in the Tian family is definitely not a family matter, and all the courtiers are also happy for the birth of the eldest son of the Han Emperor who is more than ten years late.
At this time, because the position of queen had been vacant for more than a year, the doctor's father Yan wrote to the emperor, asking the prince to be the queen according to his biological mother, Wei Zifu.
In Jiazi in March of the same year, the emperor appointed Wei Zifu as empress to pardon the world, and the status of the little prince was changed from the eldest son of the concubine to the eldest son of the legitimate son.
However, no matter how much the emperor loved his son, he seldom hugged him. The only two times were when he just hugged him and immediately handed it to others.
At first, the emperor was afraid because the baby's body was so soft that he didn't even dare to touch it, let alone hold it.Later, it was the so-called dignity of the emperor. As an emperor, he had to express his love for his children in many ways, such as kissing and hugging, which was really inappropriate.
However, tonight, the little prince was crying so badly. He struggled around in the nanny's arms with his hands and feet, crying until his voice became a little hoarse.
Seeing this situation, the emperor felt distressed immediately. He didn't care about it, and immediately took over his son from the nanny.
Perhaps the emperor's posture for holding the child was too unskilled, the little prince fell into his arms, and cried even more fiercely. Not only did he cry, but he stretched out his hands and pushed the emperor hard.
Seeing this, Wei Zifu was very anxious. She felt sorry for her son's hoarse voice, and she was even more afraid that he would make too much noise and offend the emperor.
The emperor didn't know the queen's complicated thoughts. It was rare for him to be a loving father, and his eyes were full of precious sons: "Ji'er is good, I don't cry, Ah Weng is here, don't be afraid..."
The little prince cried for a long time, maybe he was a little tired, so he stopped for a while.He raised his fleshy little hand, and wiped his face with the back of his hand indiscriminately, making his chubby face full of tears even worse.
The emperor secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Zhen was a bit talented in coaxing his son. The nannies had been tossing about for a long time, and Ji'er was crying more and more. He just took over and patted his son casually, and then Ji'er quieted down.
Unexpectedly, the little prince tilted his head, staring at the emperor's face with clear and round jet black eyes, without blinking.
Suddenly, he reached out and hugged the emperor's neck, and rushed over, all the snot and tears on his face rubbed on the emperor's shoulder.Before the surprised emperor and empress could make a sound, the little prince opened his mouth and burst into tears with a "wow".
The emperor had never seen such a battle before, and he panicked.Wei Zifu was also terrified. According to his son, he was a quiet child since he was a child, he seldom cried. Occasionally when he was upset, he would cry silently. Besides, he was frightened, so he wouldn't be like tonight.
Wei Zifu was worried that the little prince was not familiar with the emperor, and he didn't want to be hugged by him, so he wanted to take him over to coax him.Unexpectedly, Liu Ju's little hands were tightly wrapped around the emperor's neck, and he refused to let go at all, and kept yelling: "Ah Weng, don't..."
The emperor didn't believe in evil at first, and he didn't admit that he might not be able to handle his son. Seeing that his son was so dependent on him now, he didn't want to hand him over to the queen: "Ji'er, Ah Weng is here, don't be afraid oh……"
Wei Zifu was dumbfounded, and she suddenly realized that her understanding of the emperor might not be as deep as she thought.In the mind of the emperor, the weight of the eldest son is quite important.
"Ah Weng, don't you don't want it..." Liu Ju was really tired from crying this time. He pressed his chubby face to the emperor's cheek, yawned in his arms, then closed his eyes and entered the room. Dreamland.
The little prince fell asleep, and the emperor's face didn't improve, but turned gloomy. He lowered his voice and asked, "Queen, did someone say something that shouldn't be said in Ji'er's ear?"
Wei Zifu bit his lip. Although he had the same doubt in his heart, he shook his head lightly. The palace maids around his son were all handpicked by her. It is impossible to have ulterior motives, but according to his son's performance tonight, It is indeed a bit weird.
The emperor didn't ask any more questions, and turned his gaze back to his son.The little prince slept soundly, but even in his sleep, his little brows would frown from time to time, making one wonder what troubles such a young child might have.
Seeing that his son had already slept soundly, Wei Zifu stretched out his hand and said softly, "Your Majesty, let the concubine come and hold the child?"
The emperor turned his head to look at her, but he didn't pass his son over: "No, I just need to hold her in my arms, so as not to wake up Shi'er again." The emperor was quite proud of his son being so clingy to him.
Wei Zifu smiled slightly, and said nothing more, there is nothing more reassuring than the harmony between the emperor and his son.
