Chapter 399 Brother-in-law
Let him beat the Prince of Jingbei, and even hang the Prince of Jingbei up and beat him?
Pei Huaijin, “…”
This is how much they think highly of him.
Even if he is really a prince, he can't do this, right?
The waiter outside the door brought breakfast, and Prince Yuzhang said, "I'm starving. Come sit down and eat."
Prince Yong was convinced that Prince Yuzhang was being too good at his job. "Still eating? Huai Jin should have been guarding the mourning hall in the palace, but we dragged him out. The Emperor can't find him when he wants to see him. He needs to go back quickly."
Prince Yuzhang, “……!!!”
I almost forgot about this.
The biological sons are required to stay at the mourning hall all the time, without taking off their clothes, but those who are there to make up the numbers are not required to follow such rules.
He picked up two meat buns, stuffed them into Pei Huaijin's mouth, and hurried out of Deyue Tower with the buns in his mouth.
At the morning court, the emperor announced to the world that Pei Huaijin was his and Concubine Chen's son. After the morning court, the emperor went to Taiyuan Hall to see his son.
But when he arrived at Taiyuan Hall, he found that his son was nowhere to be seen. Only the Prince of Weiguo and the eldest son of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion were burning paper there.
Pei Huaijin's life story had already reached Taiyuan Palace. The emperor asked, "Where is Huaijin?"
Young Master Ling said truthfully, "Huai Jin stayed all night, and we came to take over. Prince Yuzhang was afraid that he would be exhausted, so he took him out of the palace and let him rest for half a day before coming back..."
I don’t know Pei Huaijin’s ranking yet, so it’s difficult to address him, so I can only call him by his name.
They have been shouting like this these days, and the emperor will not charge them with calling the prince's name directly. As for Prince Yuzhang dragging Pei Huaijin out of the palace, his original intention was also for Pei Huaijin's good. They didn't know that Pei Huaijin should kneel here to mourn. Ignorance is not a crime.
The emperor would certainly not blame them. When he came to the mourning hall, he burned incense for Concubine Chen.
These days, Pei Huaijin has been wearing hemp mourning clothes and kneeling in the mourning hall to burn paper for Concubine Chen. But after all, he is not a prince and cannot beat the banners and smash the tiles during Concubine Chen's funeral. Now that Pei Huaijin has recognized his ancestry, it is natural for him to bury Concubine Chen in the imperial mausoleum.
This is also the reason why the prince asked the emperor to postpone the burial of Concubine Chen.
It must be a great pity that I cannot personally attend the funeral because my son is already by my side and has not yet returned to his ancestral home.
Not only the emperor's, but also Pei Huaijin's.
When Prince Yuzhang and Pei Huaijin arrived at Taiyuan Palace, the emperor had already left. Young Master Ling said, "The emperor just came to see Huaijin. Take him to the imperial study to see the emperor."
Prince of Yuzhang, “…”
If he knew that today was the day Pei Huaijin returned to his roots, he would not have dragged him out of the palace.
Prince Yuzhang resigned himself to sending Pei Huaijin to the imperial study.
Prince Yuzhang was prepared to be scolded, but this preparation was unnecessary. He and Pei Huaijin entered the imperial study together, but the emperor didn't even see him.
The emperor only has eyes for his own son.
Although they had eaten together and the emperor saw his son almost every day these days, he still hoped that Pei Huaijin would call him "Father". Today, his wish finally came true.
Pei Huaijin was a little restrained. He always knew that he was not the biological child of the Pei family. He did not blame his parents for abandoning him. Being adopted by the Pei family and growing up in the Pei family was his life's blessing.
In the Pei family, Old Master Pei treated him as his own grandson and taught him to read and write. When he wanted to learn martial arts, he ignored the opposition of his father and several uncles and hired a martial arts master for him and trained him to the utmost.
He was even afraid that his biological parents would come looking for him, as that would force him to leave the Pei family.
But he never dreamed that he would be a prince. He is still dizzy now, and suspects that he has been kneeling for so long that he has hallucinations in his head.
On the way back to Beijing, he didn't know how many times he had pinched himself, and he pinched himself secretly again.
Pei Huaijin stopped and the emperor strode up to him. Pei Huaijin didn't react at all, and seemed to be distracted. The Prince of Yuzhang was very anxious.
Prince Yuzhang said, "Hurry up and call the emperor."
Pei Huaijin came back to his senses and shouted, "Your Majesty..."
"Why call me Emperor? Call me 'Father'," said the impatient Prince of Yuzhang, who wanted to pat Pei Huaijin on the head.
Pei Huaijin looked at the emperor, unable to speak.
Finally, he managed to squeeze out a word, "Father."
The emperor's eyes were red, and he patted Pei Huaijin's shoulder, "Finally, you have returned to your roots."
I have been looking forward to hearing this "Father" for sixteen years, and finally it has come true. But there is another one, and I don't know when I will hear it again.
Knowing that Pei Huaijin still couldn't accept his life experience for a while, the emperor didn't make things difficult for him. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go and keep vigil for your mother first."
Pei Huaijin nodded repeatedly, and then left the imperial study with Prince Yuzhang.
On the way to Taiyuan Palace, Prince Yuzhang asked, "When is your birthday?"
Pei Huaijin shook his head, "I don't know."
Prince Yuzhang was surprised, "You don't even celebrate your birthday?"
Pei Huaijin said, "The Pei family regarded the day I arrived at the Pei family as my birthday, the same day as my great-grandmother."
Prince Yuzhang wanted to see what rank Pei Huaijin held among the emperor's princes. He should be either the sixth or seventh prince, but he didn't know the date, so he couldn't rank him.
Prince Yuzhang said, "Prince Jingbei should know. Let's ask him later."
Pei Huaijin, “…”
He didn't know his own birthday, but the Prince of Jingbei knew it. This feeling was so strange.
The Prince of Jingbei seems to know everything and be able to do everything.
Pei Huaijin turned around and looked towards the imperial study. Prince Yuzhang asked, "What are you looking at?"
Pei Huaijin said dejectedly, "I have a biological sister, whom I haven't even met, and she's about to be sent away to marry..."
Prince Yuzhang said in a gloomy voice, "That's fake."
Pei Huaijin's eyes widened, "Fake?"
Prince Yuzhang said, "If it were true, Old Taifu Lin and Duke Dingguo would not agree to it."
Pei Huaijin asked anxiously, "What about my sister? Have you found her?"
Prince Yuzhang looked at Pei Huaijin.
Pei Huaijin thought there was dirt on his face.
Pei Huaijin asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The Prince of Yuzhang wanted to see if Pei Huaijin was a tight-lipped person. After all, there was no reason to hide something from Pei Huaijin that he knew.
Prince Yuzhang patted Pei Huaijin on the shoulder and said, "You should ask your brother-in-law."
Pei Huaijin, “…???”
Brother-in-law?
Pei Huaijin was a little confused, "Who is my brother-in-law?"
"Here, that's him."
The Prince of Yuzhang raised his hand and pointed.
Pei Huaijin looked in the direction of his hand and saw a tall figure walking towards him in the sunlight.
Pei Huaijin, “……!!!”
His eyes almost popped out of his head.
The Prince of Jingbei is his brother-in-law?
Are you kidding me?
Pei Huaijin looked at the Prince of Yuzhang, "Are you sure you're not kidding me?"
Thinking of that day when he and the Princess of Jingbei accompanied the Emperor for dinner, and the Prince of Jingbei sat far away alone, Pei Huaijin couldn't stop twitching his eyes.
It should be true...
Pei Huaijin was in a very complicated mood.
Among so many young masters from aristocratic families, the one he admired most was the Prince of Jingbei.
It turns out that the Prince of Jingbei is younger than him and is his brother-in-law...
I suddenly felt myself standing up straight.
