Chapter 663 Second Sister-in-law

pity.

Anything produced by Xingxing must be of high quality.

The hangover remedy that Xingxing gave Wei Shiyu was quite effective.

At this moment, Nie Yuke had not found a reason to leave so as to find a chance to go to the tea room, but Fang Wei Shiyu had already returned, rubbing his head.

Nie Yuke was completely numb.

"Third Prince, why are you out again?"

Wei Shiyu's friend asked with a smile.

Wei Shiyu was still a little tipsy, and replied with a smile: "I can probably drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"

Apart from this little episode, Wei Shiyu's banquet went smoothly and both the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

…

Almost all the guests had left the palace. Wei Shiyu took the hangover medicine given by Xingxing and then had a good sleep in the back hall of Zhaoyang Palace.

When he woke up, the light was on in the small side room, but it was pitch black outside the window, with the sound of the wind howling.

Empress Nie was like an ordinary mother, sitting on the imperial concubine's couch not far away, flipping through a book.

Because he had taken the hangover medicine given by Xingxing in advance, Wei Shiyu did not feel any discomfort when he fell asleep this time, except that he still felt a little dizzy.

"Mother..." Wei Shiyu sat up from the bed and coughed twice to clear his throat.

Queen Nie turned around, smiled, and asked the palace maid to bring Wei Shiyu a bowl of nourishing bird's nest: "Moisten your throat first."

Wei Shiyu took it obediently and gulped it down in one gulp.

The palace maid lit up all the other candles and lights in the side room.

The room suddenly became much brighter.

"Mother, what time is it now?" Wei Shiyu sat on the bed and put on his boots. "You have been here to watch over me?"

"It's just past 8 o'clock in the evening, so I'm fine." The back of Queen Nie was shrouded in candlelight, and her hair was given a soft glow.

She watched Wei Shiyu stand up from the bed with an upright posture. Although his hair was a little messy from sleeping, it did not affect his appearance at all. He looked like a young man full of vigor and vitality.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed since she left Ayan, the man who sent her away.

At this moment, Queen Nie seemed to see the appearance of her second son through the figure of her youngest son.

"If you're okay, go to rest early. You're still weak, I'm just taking a nap..." Wei Shiyu muttered a few words, and looked carefully. He saw that there seemed to be a glimmer of crystal in Queen Nie's eyes. He was stunned at first, and it took him a while to react what it was, and he was immediately frightened.

Wei Shiyu had grown up and experienced countless disasters, but he had never seen his mother shed tears. When he saw her this time, Wei Shiyu was at a loss.

Wei Shiyu hurried forward a few steps and knelt down in front of Queen Nie. He leaned on Queen Nie's knees and said anxiously, "Mother, did I do something wrong? Please tell me and I will definitely change."

From kneeling down to admitting his mistakes, Wei Shiyu was obviously very skilled in the process of admitting his mistakes.

Queen Nie couldn't help laughing at Wei Shiyu's skillful operations.

She poked the forehead of her little son who was clinging to her lap and said, "You only know how to show off."

Wei Shiyu saw Queen Nie smile, and he also grinned: "Look at what mother said, my son can make her happy by showing off, this is called colorful clothes to entertain parents. It is written in the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars. It is a serious matter!"

Queen Nie smiled and touched Wei Shiyu's hair tenderly: "Ayu, you are fourteen years old today. There are some things that I think it's time to tell you."

Wei Shiyu saw that even though Queen Nie was amused by him, there was always a hint of sadness in her eyes. He knew that what Queen Nie wanted to tell him was probably something very important.

Wei Shiyu said: "Mother, please tell me, I am listening."

Queen Nie stroked Wei Shiyu's hair again: "...Do you still remember your second brother?"

When he heard the word "second brother", Wei Shiyu was stunned.

"Second brother", this is almost a taboo in the palace.

He vaguely remembered that he had asked this question when he was a child, but as soon as he asked it, his mother became very sad, and his usually kind father also frowned and told him not to ask anymore.

Later he vaguely heard that his second brother died at a very young age, which was an eternal pain in the hearts of his mother and father.

So, he never mentioned it.

When Wei Shiyu suddenly heard Queen Nie mention the word "second brother", he was a little confused.

"Second brother?"

Queen Nie's expression softened a lot and she nodded.

Wei Shiyu looked at his mother cautiously: "Mother, second brother, didn't you say that a long time ago..."

Queen Nie guessed what Wei Shiyu wanted to say. She shook her head gently: "Your second brother is not dead. He is alive and well."

Wei Shiyu took a breath of cool air: "Not dead, then where is the second brother now?"

Queen Nie looked somewhat lonely as she told Wei Shiyu about the great natural disaster that Da Xia had experienced eighteen years ago. It was the birth of Wei Shiyan, who carried the fate of heaven, who sacrificed his fate and saved Da Xia's precarious fate.

Allow Daxia to recuperate and slowly regain its vitality.

However, the price of doing so was that Wei Shiyan became a person who was not tolerated by heaven!

If it weren't for the true dragon and true phoenix destined by heaven, that is, Emperor Jiazheng and Empress Nie, who each sacrificed ten years of their lives for Wei Shiyan, Wei Shiyan would have died at that time!

Wei Shiyu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"Your second brother is currently cultivating in the mountains, far away from the mundane world. As long as he stays in the mountains and survives the age of 18, he will have survived this catastrophe." When Queen Nie said this, she couldn't help crying when she thought of her second son's life over the years. "...I didn't tell you before because you were still young. The fewer people know about these things, the safer your second brother will be."

Wei Shiyu stood up and hugged Queen Nie: "Mother, you have worked hard for so many years. You must miss my second brother very much, right? I remember that when my father and I went to the Xishan hunting ground for a few days, you missed me so much. I dare not imagine how you must have missed my second brother all these years..."

Hearing her youngest son's sensible words of comfort, Queen Nie could no longer hold back her tears.

She hugged her little son with her backhand and cried bitterly, "I miss your second brother so much. Since he was born, I have only held him once, and that was when I put him on the altar with my own hands..."

Wei Shiyu seemed to vaguely recall a figure amidst his mother's crying.

He once climbed through a dog hole in an attempt to see his small and skinny second brother, but later he fell seriously ill.

Later, he seemed to remember that he was chasing after a carriage, crying and shouting for his second brother.

But the carriage did not stop and took his brother to an unknown place.

From then on, he seemed to have forgotten that he had an important second brother in his life.

Wei Shiyu was suddenly startled and felt a chill on his back.

How could he forget this?!

Queen Nie saw Wei Shiyu's expression. As no one knows a son better than his mother, she naturally understood that her younger son must have vaguely recalled some memories of the past.

She patted Wei Shiyu's back with heartache: "Ayu, this is not your fault. You went to look for your second brother without telling us at that time... You were too young and were entangled by the aura of disaster. You almost lost your life. You nursed it for a long time. Later, your second brother was sent away and you fell ill again. After you recovered from the illness, you forgot about your second brother..."

Wei Shiyu's voice was choked with sobs: "Mother...how has my second brother been doing these years?"

Queen Nie stroked Wei Shiyu's back and said, "Your second brother has to stay away from people and live with only the great minister Qin by his side. No matter how good it is, how good can it be?... Sometimes I think of him late at night and always cry. But..."

Queen Nie's eyes flashed with stars, twinkling and bright: "Your second brother met Xingxing."

Wei Shiyu was still immersed in the sadness of suddenly remembering his long-forgotten brother. When he heard Xingxing's name, he was stunned for a moment: "Xingxing?"

Speaking of Xingxing, Empress Nie smiled: "Yes, Xingxing. Perhaps it is God's mercy that she lives not far from where your second brother is practicing. She often goes up the mountain to accompany your second brother since she was a child. She is blessed, and the aura of disaster on your second brother will not hurt her. With her company, your second brother is more cheerful than before. Later, he would write letters to your eldest brother, mentioning the people and things around him. Among them, Xingxing would be mentioned in almost every letter..."

Queen Nie smiled with tears in her eyes, "Ayu, you don't know how grateful father and mother are to Xingxing."

Wei Shiyu understood. No wonder his father, mother, elder brother, and elder sister-in-law were so close to Xingxing.

It turns out there is such a connection.

"Then I have to thank Xingxing very much..." Wei Shiyu murmured, "No wonder I felt so close to Xingxing the moment I saw her."

Queen Nie nodded and smiled, "Our whole family should express our gratitude to Xing Xing."

Wei Shiyu suddenly thought of something and said nervously, "Mother, does my second brother want to marry Xingxing?!"

Queen Nie had not expected her youngest son's thoughts to be so jumpy. He was still reminiscing about his sad past just now, but now he had jumped to the topic of marriage.

Could it be that...

Queen Nie's eyebrows jumped, and she looked at Wei Shiyu tentatively: "Ayu, you, don't want to?"

"No, it's my second brother who wants to marry Xingxing. It doesn't matter whether I'm willing or not." Wei Shiyu was still a little puzzled.

"So what are you doing..."

Wei Shiyu said with a bitter face: "Mother, I have always wanted Xingxing to call me brother. Look at my sisters, none of them are well-behaved and obedient. Mingyi is well-behaved, but she is a little silly... I just want Xingxing to call me brother. But if she becomes my second sister-in-law in the future, how can she call me brother?"

Queen Nie's heart finally settled down.

She looked at her son with a mixture of amusement and anger: "Is that all you're worried about?"

"What else?" Wei Shiyu was confused. "What else should I worry about?"

Queen Nie felt that she was thinking too much.

"Besides, isn't this distressing enough?" Wei Shiyu sighed, "I want to be a brother, but I can't be my second sister-in-law's brother!"

As Queen Nie listened to her son's increasingly unreliable words, she said helplessly, "Xingxing is still young and has no idea what she will do. Even if your second brother is interested, Xingxing may not be willing."

"That's fine." Wei Shiyu muttered, "Then I'll drag my second brother along and become Xingxing's brother together."

Queen Nie was even more speechless, and poked her youngest son on the forehead: "Xingxing has a lot of brothers, and she doesn't need a fool like you."

Wei Shiyu saw that the sadness on Queen Nie's face had dissipated a lot, and he covered his forehead with his hands and grinned: "Okay, then Xingxing will still be my second sister-in-law, and then she and my second brother will honor our mother together!"

Wei Shiyu remembered something again, and he covered his forehead and yelled, "I remember now! No wonder I thought it was my elder brother who fell in love with Xingxing, and I even complained to my elder brother that my cousin Ming was interested in Xingxing! My elder brother looked at me as if I were a fool!... No, I have to go to the East Palace tomorrow. It was so painful for my elder brother to hide this from me! I treat my elder brother as my own brother, why does he treat me as a fool!"

Queen Nie was completely amused this time, and poked Wei Shiyu's forehead again: "You. Why don't you think about it, you are such a person. How can your eldest brother tell you about your second brother's affairs?... What's more, Xingxing is a very important person to your second brother, but Xingxing is still young, we can't force Xingxing, right? Don't do anything stupid!"

Wei Shiyu patted his chest and responded: "Okay, okay, mother, don't worry, I am an adult now, I know my limits."

Queen Nie felt so soft-hearted when she looked at her noisy little son.

She is looking forward to the coming of next year.

Next year, when her Ah Yan comes back, they can be reunited as a family!

…

The next day, Wei Shiyu slipped out of the palace and went straight to the Yu family in the Zhenxi General's Mansion.

Xing Xing was stunned when she heard the servant come to report that the Third Prince was here to visit.

She promised to invite Wei Shiyu to her home, but hasn’t she done so yet?

What's more, Wei Shiyu wanted to see her eldest brother and third brother, but her eldest brother and third brother were on duty and not at home.

Although she was very confused, Xingxing still packed up and went to the main courtyard to meet Wei Shiyu.

Wei Shiyu did not have the airs of the Third Prince at all. When Xingxing passed by, Wei Shiyu had already made the two elders, Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu, smile and laugh happily.

Xing Xing went over and bowed. While wiping the tears from her eyes, Mrs. Wei said to Xing Xing, "My dear, the Third Prince is on a business trip out of the palace and happened to pass by our house. I wanted to ask if you have any extra hangover pills."

Wei Shiyu said seriously, "I was very drunk yesterday, and I used the sobering medicine given by the princess, and it worked very well. Today I came to ask the princess for some, just in case."

Xing Xing didn't suspect anything, she just said "Oh", and since the Third Prince had made her grandpa and grandma so happy, she was willing to give him more: "I still have some in reserve, I'll give them to you later. Oh, I'll just write the recipe for you. Wait a minute."

Wei Shiyu thought to himself that his future sister-in-law was really generous!

"No, no, just give me some pills." Wei Shiyu didn't want to take advantage of Xingxing's prescription. He coughed and said, "I can't just pass by and steal your prescription."

Xing Xing raised her eyebrows and smiled: "It's not something precious. Just take it, Your Highness."

Wei Shiyu exclaimed in his heart again.

Why does he feel more and more that Xing Xing is like his sister-in-law? !

So scary!
