"So, Wei Qingyi is deeply in love with Bei Ye, and he's done something rather unethical for the sake of military power!"
[Master, if you think about it carefully, Bei Ye is actually a homewrecker who interferes in other people's relationships.]
"So, before Bei Ye, did Wei Qingyi have other boyfriends?"
No, Wei Qingyi was already married before he met Bei Ye. He married Jiang Li, the daughter of Wei Tong, his childhood betrothed.
Wei Qingyi, the eldest son of Prime Minister Wei, met the Fifth Prince Bei Ye during a royal autumn hunt.
At that time, Bei Ye was not yet sixteen years old, and he was handsome with fair skin and rosy lips. It could be said that Wei Qingyi fell in love with him at first sight and gave herself to him upon seeing him again.
"Uh... so impatient? Isn't this development a bit too fast?"
Is it fast? It's alright, but compared to Xiyuanshan's parents, its development is still a step behind.
Bei Ye and Bei Yue are indeed born of the same father; both brothers are adept at opening doors to new worlds for other men.
Before meeting Bei Ye, Wei Qingyi was a well-known, aloof, and modest gentleman in Bei Li.
He and his wife treated each other with utmost respect, and he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his career, so much so that they had no children after three years of marriage.
He wasn't interested in women, not because he wasn't interested in them, but because he chose the wrong targets.
As soon as he met Bei Ye, the two of them were like dry wood meeting a raging fire, and Wei Qingyi's not-so-old house was set ablaze.
"So, this Wei Qingyi is attracted to men? Doesn't that make his wife pitiful?"
That's not all. This Wei Qingyi not only likes men, but he also can't have children, so they haven't had any children even after being married for several years.
The Wei family thought it was because of Jiang Li, which is why she had to drink some kind of tonic every day.
Later, when Bei Ye was drunk, he took advantage of a palace maid, who gave birth to his son ten months later.
When Wei Qingyi found out, he was furious. In order to appease him, Bei Ye gave the son to Wei Qingyi to raise.
He was registered under the name of Jiang Li, who was "infertile," and was treated as the legitimate son.
They also lied, claiming the child was born to Wei Qingyi and another woman.
"What kind of thought process do these two have? Isn't Bei Ye afraid that Wei Qingyi will be so angry that he will raise the child to death?"
Besides, the child doesn't look anything like Wei Qingyi, so why wouldn't Prime Minister Wei suspect anything?
"How could Bei Ji not know that his grandson was given away? Were they both dead?"
Bei Ye had already established his own residence outside the city. At that time, Bei Ji was not in good health and paid little attention to his son, so he didn't know that one of his grandsons had been given away.
As for Prime Minister Wei, that old fox naturally noticed something amiss and investigated thoroughly, but after the investigation, he chose to remain silent.
"Why? Is it out of fear of the authority of the Northern Li royal family?"
Upon hearing such explosive news, the emperor and his ministers of Dayan were all filled with gossip, but they disagreed with the words of the Junior Tutor.
One's own bloodline must not be confused. If it is them, they must either tell the emperor the truth or be raised as illegitimate children.
I will never groom him as my future successor.
That's because Prime Minister Wei discovered that this child was originally of the Wei family bloodline, since he carried his bloodline.
It's not impossible for the child to return to the Wei family in this capacity.
Some even speculated that Wei Qingyi's inability to conceive after many years of marriage was not the fault of his daughter-in-law Jiang Li, but rather the infertility of his eldest son, and therefore Wei Xiang was pleased with this outcome.
"How did this bring up the Wei family's bloodline again? Could it be that Bei Ye is Wei Xiang's illegitimate son and Wei Qingyi's biological brother?"
"Little Pearl, is this melon a forbidden melon?"
Everyone: Can you please stop gloating like that? You're not going to stop with that smug smile on your face.
Lord Liu, who is currently reporting on matters, will likely think that you are targeting him!
Yue Fuguang didn't care whether others would have second thoughts; she was simply enjoying the spectacle.
It's commonly said that when people are gossiping, they don't care about the lives of others.
At this moment, Lord Liu, who could not hear anything, could not ignore the smile on the face of the Junior Tutor.
He wiped the sweat from his brow and continued to report on the various diplomatic missions.
His superior, Lord Youmingmin, saw that his subordinate was sweating profusely and had no choice but to endure it.
【Master, what are you thinking! Bei Ye is Bei Ji's biological son, and has absolutely no relation to Prime Minister Wei.】
The problem lies with the palace maid who was favored by Bei Ye.
Why did Bei Ye, who was drunk, favor that palace maid? Because she looked very much like Wei Qingyi, and was considered a beauty among mortals.
Wei Qingyi's eyebrows and eyes were inherited from Prime Minister Wei.
"So, this palace maid who was favored by Bei Ye is actually Prime Minister Wei's daughter?"
"Master guessed correctly. This palace maid's mother was the daughter of a disgraced official. She was forced into the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment district) as a young girl and became a dancer."
When Wei Xiang was young, he was not yet prime minister. At a palace banquet, he favored a dancer. In fact, Wei Xiang quite liked this dancer at that time.
They even tried to ask Bei Ji for the person, but Bei Ji refused for various reasons, and they failed to get the person several times.
Later, he heard that the dancer had died, and he gave up on the idea.
Because of the affair between Bei Ye and Wei Qingyi, he investigated further and discovered that the palace maid whom Bei Ye had casually favored was his daughter, born to the dancer who had suffered a difficult childbirth.
That child would be his grandson. He naturally wouldn't mind raising him under the name of his eldest son, who was suspected of being infertile, as his legitimate eldest grandson.
"So, do Wei Qingyi and Bei Ye know all this? His son became his nephew; he didn't harm that child, did he?"
At first, he certainly didn't have good intentions, but later the father and son had a private talk behind closed doors, and I don't know what they said.
Wei Qingyi's attitude towards the child changed, and Bei Ye never asked about the child again after sending him away.
It was as if this child had never existed.
"What happened to Prime Minister Wei's daughter, the child's mother?"
[Prime Minister Wei brought her out of the palace, and she entered the Wei family as the child's wet nurse.]
"In the end, the most tragic ones here are Jiang Li and Qi Xia, who knew nothing about this."
The two were both unfortunate and fortunate. Unfortunate because they married these two scoundrels, fortunate because neither of them has any children yet.
Even if they divorce and return home, there are no ties between them.
Master, this Wei Qingyi controls some of Bei Ye's spies; he was the mastermind behind last night's assassination attempt.
"You mean Wei Qingyi also came to Dayan, and these two are getting together again?"
Yue Fuguang stroked his round little chin, thinking that Bei Ye was really living a monogamous life!
That won't do. Yue Fuguang doesn't consider herself a magnanimous person. If someone wants to capture or kill her, she can't swallow her anger unless she can temporarily endure it for the sake of the system mission.
However, if we kill them now, putting aside the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the fact that Beili will lose this force to contend with will only benefit the Beili emperor and his princes.
It would be best if her rivals fought tooth and nail for the throne, constantly exhausting themselves; that would be the best outcome for her future unification.
