Chapter 317 Wei Yanwan 57
The two of them were so affectionate with each other in the room that they didn't notice a blue figure flash past the window.
The Seventh Prince ran all the way out of the Yanx Palace, his mind in a mess and he didn't know what he was thinking, until he suddenly bumped into the crowd and was held in the arms of a pair of warm hands.
"My Lord, are you okay?"
Jinzhong was about to kick her in the heart, but fortunately Wei Yanwan stopped him with her eyes at the critical moment. She just stood aside, her face still full of concern.
The servants around did not expect a child to suddenly rush out from the corner, and they did not react immediately. At this time, they looked at Wei Yanwan with pale faces, fearing that the Seventh Prince would hurt their master and the royal heir in her belly.
"I'm fine. Seventh Prince stopped in time and didn't hurt me. Don't make a fuss. This place is close to the Yangxin Palace. Don't alarm the emperor."
Wei Yanwan waved her hand and pushed the Seventh Prince, who had been silent since just now, out of her arms, but saw that this usually strong child was actually crying.
"Seventh Prince, what's wrong with you? It wasn't like that just now..."
Wei Yanwan pulled him to the nearby pavilion and wiped his tears with her handkerchief. "Good boy, don't cry in the palace. Your father is very happy about the recent auspicious event. If he knew, he would probably reprimand you."
"I...hiccup, I know that, whether it's the Emperor or the Empress, once Fourteenth Brother is born, the other children will no longer..."
Before the Seventh Prince could finish his words, Wei Yanwan stuffed a sweet-scented osmanthus candy into his mouth: "Child, this is not something you can say casually."
Seeing that he had calmed down a lot after eating the candy, Wei Yanwan gently rubbed his head. "Besides, even if your Royal Father and Royal Mother neglect you for a while, don't you still have your mother? You are her only child, her lifelong hope. She will always love you."
The decisive blow!
The Seventh Prince's heart, which had finally calmed down, was instantly broken. He always knew that the Empress Dowager was the most important to his mother, but he originally thought that even so, at least he was his mother's only son, and apart from the Empress Dowager, he would always be ranked second.
Although his mother was adopted by the Emperor's father and given to Prince Lu, he was still worried about his mother's health every day. He risked being rejected by the Emperor and begged him to let him see his mother.
After hearing Ye Xin's words, he knelt down at the Empress Dowager's feet without even thinking and begged her for help. He had done so much and paid so much!
But Mother... Mother actually cared so much about the Fourteenth Prince, whom she had never even met, yet she never mentioned him a single word...
How ridiculous! In the eyes of his own mother, he is not as important as a baby with whom he has no blood relationship and whom she has never met.
Is she really her biological mother?
"Seventh Prince, are you okay?"
Yan Wan glanced at the child and her face was pale. It seemed that Sister Hai Lan still performed steadily this time and did not disappoint her.
The Seventh Prince came back to his senses. Faced with Wei Yanwan's concern, his heart ached even more. However, he still restrained his expression and bowed, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm probably a little cold today because I'm not wearing enough. It's nothing."
"Yes, it's winter, and you don't even have a coat on. Your mother made a mistake and was punished, so she can't take care of you for a while. What about the servants? Are they not serving you attentively?"
Wei Yanwan had already sent someone to Yongshou Palace to fetch a black fox fur cloak before pulling him into the pavilion. It had just arrived, so she took it from the servant and put it on the Seventh Prince. Before he could refuse, she spoke first:
"I planned to give this to Yongqi a couple of days ago, but the kid is always practicing martial arts and doesn't like wearing these things, so I put it aside. He's tall, so it might be a little big for you, so don't be disgusted."
"This is Fifth Brother's stuff, how can I accept it?"
"It's okay. He's your brother, and it's his duty to take care of you. It's just a cloak, he won't care."
Wei Yanwan straightened his fur collar. Seeing that he was still in a daze, she sighed and said lovingly:
"You risked the Emperor's reprimand today to plead for your mother, proving you to be a filial child. The Emperor knows all too well; his adoption was a plan for you. Yongrui, in this situation... the only person you can rely on is your Royal Father. Do you understand?"
"I understand. I would also like to thank the Imperial Concubine for speaking up for me in the Yangxin Palace today. Yongrui will always remember this and will never forget it."
Yongrui nodded seriously, his eyes became less childish and more profound and experienced.
Just as the Imperial Concubine said, regardless of whether his mother loved him or not, the only person he could rely on now was his father. Since that was the case, with his mother like this, he could now plan for himself with confidence.
After all, he has been adopted out now, and the possibility of him succeeding to the throne has been eliminated, and he has been freed from a layer of shackles.
Thinking of this, he touched the fox fur cloak on his body, which was as well made as his mother's. He had already made up his mind and said to Wei Yanwan with a pitiful look:
"Before, because my mother always kept a low profile, I didn't know my brothers very well. Now that my mother is like this, I'm left alone outside. I'm really looking forward to having a close brother."
Seeing this, Wei Yanwan smiled even more lovingly: "What's the big deal? Let's not talk about the other brothers. Your fifth brother has always been kind. If you really get close to him, the child will be so happy."
The rustling sound of the wind stopped at some point. Wei Yanwan looked outside and patted his shoulder: "Look, the wind and snow outside have stopped."
"Yes, the wind and snow have stopped, and the sky should be clear soon."
"The weather is clear now, you should go home."
Wei Yanwan stood up and looked at the child who had changed so much in just one day. After thinking for a while, she took a plain purse from Chunchan and handed it to Yongrui.
Yongrui took it without knowing what was going on. When he opened it, he saw that inside was the osmanthus candy that the imperial concubine had just fed him.
"When you feel sad, eat some candy, don't burn yourself out."
Wei Yanwan stood in the light, looking as beautiful as a fairy in a painting. "Your fifth brother really likes you. He often praises your calligraphy and paintings in front of me."
After saying that, he no longer cared about the child and left with a group of people.
Yongrui held the bag of sweet-scented osmanthus candy, a proper smile still plastered on his face. Perhaps he himself hadn't noticed, however, that the corners of his mouth were curved a little more than before, no longer seeming so forced or fake. The shallow dimples in his cheeks gave him a touch of childlike innocence.
