Chapter 621, exuding a kind and benevolent spirit?
When Queen Nie mentioned Concubine Bai, her expression became a little complicated and she shook her head.
Concubine Bai was a hostage sent by Xidi. No matter how noble her status was in Xidi before, after coming to Daxia, she was just a concubine in the deep palace.
Therefore, as long as Concubine Bai didn't jump in front of her, Empress Nie was still very kind to Concubine Bai.
But Bai Fei obviously didn't think so.
Queen Nie pinched her brows with a headache.
At this moment, it was her own disappointing son who frightened Concubine Bai to death. Empress Nie did not want to say anything more and just waited for the imperial physician to make a diagnosis.
Soon, the imperial physician came out of the inner room and congratulated her: "Your Majesty, Concubine Bai is very happy. She is already more than two months pregnant."
Queen Nie was even more helpless.
Wei Shiyu knew that he had almost gotten into big trouble, so he was as quiet as a chicken and dared not say a word.
When Emperor Jiazheng and Wei Shiqing came over, Wei Shiyu was kneeling obediently outside.
Wei Shiqing sometimes felt that he could not be blamed for being partial to his second brother. It was mainly because of Wei Shiyu's character. He felt that he was very brotherly by not throwing his third brother away.
On the way, Emperor Jiazheng had heard from the eunuch that Concubine Bai was pregnant. Seeing his third son kneeling there with an honest look, his heart softened: "Okay, get up."
"Then I am here. You can't punish me again, right?" Wei Shiyu did not forget to negotiate with Emperor Jiazheng, "No two punishments for the same thing."
Emperor Jiazheng laughed angrily.
Wei Shiyu took it as Emperor Jiazheng's consent and swiftly got up from the ground. Then he saw his elder brother glanced at him coldly.
Wei Shiyu: “…”
Why does my neck feel so cold?
Emperor Jiazheng did not go into the inner room to see Concubine Bai, but asked Xingxing first: "Did the third brother scare you?"
Before Xing Xing could say anything, Wei Shiyu had already replied from behind: "No, no, Xiang Jun is very agile and jumped over in one go. His expression didn't change at all and he wasn't scared at all!"
Wei Shiqing slapped Wei Shiyu on the neck and shouted, "Are you still so proud? Have you apologized to Xiangjun?!"
Wei Shiyu covered his head with his hands, looking angry but unable to speak.
He turned around and honestly apologized to Xing Xing: "I'm sorry, Xiang Jun, I shouldn't have scared you, I won't dare to do it next time."
Xing Xing would not, of course, make a fuss like Wei Shiyu over such a small matter.
Xingxing thought, this is Brother Yan’s younger brother after all.
Brother Yan is so good to her, and Queen Nie is also very kind to her. She wouldn't get angry with others over such a small matter.
——Yes, Xingxing has already seen it.
Just looking at their appearance, the mother and son look so similar, not to mention that she later learned the prince's name and knew at a glance that they were brothers.
It was just that Brother Yan seemed to have only told her his real name, and when talking to her family, he used the name Shi Yan. Brother Yan probably didn't want to reveal his identity, so Xing Xing pretended not to know.
However, with this kind of relationship, Xing Xing naturally wouldn't get angry when she saw a naughty kid like Wei Shiyu - even though this naughty kid was actually about the same age as her.
Xing Xing smiled amiably and said, "It's okay."
Wei Shiyu: “???”
No, why does this Fusui Xiangjun smile like those concubines in the harem who are always happy to see him?
...just, exuding a sense of kindness?
When Bai Fei woke up, she found out she was pregnant and was stunned for a long time.
Emperor Jiazheng said a few words of comfort and then left again.
Empress Nie felt sorry for Concubine Bai, as she was still young, far away from home, and pregnant. She must have been very worried, so she gave Concubine Bai a lot of supplements and told her to take good care of her health.
Bai Fei looked expressionless and didn't speak for a long time.
The work in Yu's study was almost finished, so Wei Shiqing simply sent Xingxing to the East Palace.
Wei Shiyu wanted to follow this time, and Queen Nie did not stop him. With his elder brother around, this little devil could not cause any trouble.
However, perhaps because the weather was fine today and everyone liked to stroll around the Yu Garden, this time when Wei Shiqing was passing by the Yu Garden with Xingxing and Wei Shiyu, they unexpectedly ran into the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince again.
The fourth and fifth princes were led by palace servants to fish by the lake near the Yu Garden.
The fourth prince and the fifth prince are not much different in age. One is three months younger than the third prince Wei Shiyu, and the other is one year younger than Wei Shiyu, but both of them look half a head shorter than Wei Shiyu.
Xingxing saw that although the fourth prince and the fifth prince were close in age to Wei Shiyu, they were not born to Queen Nie, so they were obviously not as good-looking as Wei Shiyu, and they did not look like the three brothers Wei Shiqing, Wei Shiyan and Wei Shiyu.
The fourth and fifth princes politely saluted and greeted the crown prince and Wei Shiyu:
"Hello, eldest and third brother."
The fourth prince looked at Xing Xing curiously: "Who is this?"
Wei Shiyu introduced enthusiastically: "Fourth brother, fifth brother, this is Fusui Xiangjun. We are on our way to the East Palace to visit my eldest sister-in-law."
The fourth prince's eyes flashed with envy, but he said nothing, only saying: "Then we won't bother the third brother."
Wei Shiqing instructed: "When you play by the lake, please be careful."
"Yes, brother."
Wei Shiqing took Xingxing and left with Wei Shiyu.
Just when turning around the archway of the Yu Garden, Xingxing looked back inadvertently and saw that the Fourth Prince seemed to still be standing there looking at her.
…
The fourth prince retracted his gaze.
The fifth prince also sighed quietly: "Sometimes I really envy my third brother."
The Fourth Prince looked at the Fifth Prince with some confusion.
The fifth prince said with a hint of sadness: "Third brother and eldest brother are brothers from the same mother, so their relationship is extraordinary."
The Fourth Prince was startled and looked around quickly. Fortunately, he, the Fifth Prince, and their trusted palace maids were the only ones nearby at this moment.
"Fifth brother, be careful with your words." The fourth prince frowned and said, "Big brother treats all of us younger brothers with the same kindness."
The Fifth Prince twitched his lips and said, "Do you believe this, Fourth Brother?"
The fourth prince remained silent.
The fifth prince knew that he couldn't say too much at this moment. He smiled and pointed to the fishing cage that was placed by the lake: "...Fourth brother, it seems that there are fish coming in."
The fourth prince's attention was immediately diverted, and he looked into the water: "Hey, it's real!"
…
Wei Shiqing brought Xingxing and Wei Shiyu to the East Palace.
There happened to be a guest in the East Palace, it was Nie's aunt - Nie Yuke's mother, who came to visit Crown Princess Mu Rujun.
When Nie Yuke's mother, Nie's mother, saw the crown prince coming with Xing Xing and Wei Shiyu, she quickly stood up and saluted: "Greetings to the crown prince, the third prince."
Nie's mother had met Xingxing before. She paused and also bowed to Xingxing: "I have met the county lord."
"You're welcome, aunt." Wei Shiqing raised his hand and exempted Nie's mother from the formality. "How is uncle?"
Seeing that the prince still cared about her husband, Mother Nie was obviously very happy, and her face was full of smiles: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Everything is fine at home."
