Chapter 40 Wei Family

Xia Miaoyuan danced with joy when she heard Xia Zhengqi and the prince mention Wei Sanchuan.

[Wow, Daddy and the prince are so smart!]

[I was just wondering how to remind you, but you guys thought of the Wei Family.]

Xia Zhengqi and the prince couldn't help but look at Xia Miaoyuan, trying to suppress their smiles.

"Let's go, Chengwan, let's go to the Wei Family now." Xia Zhengqi walked to the prince and patted his shoulder.

[Take me, take me, I want to go out of the palace to play!]

Xia Miaoyuan was so anxious that she started to kick her feet again when she heard Xia Zhengqi was going out of the palace.

"Every time my sister hears that adults are going out of the palace, she seems to be willing to follow them." The prince muttered when he saw this.

Xia Zhengqi looked at Xia Miaoyuan lovingly: "Then take her there."

[Yeah! Long live the emperor!]

Xia Miaoyuan chuckled excitedly.

Soon, Xia Zhengqi and the prince changed into casual clothes, and asked the nanny to prepare some milk and diapers for Xia Miaoyuan. The three of them took a carriage and went to the Wei family quietly.

In the Wei mansion, the servant ran into the inner house in a panic, tripped on the way, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Master! Young Master! The emperor is here!"

The master of the Wei family was playing with birds in the yard. When he heard the servant's shouting, the bird food in his hand fell to the ground.

"What...what? The emperor is here?!"

Wei Sanchuan ran out with his robe in his hand: "What? The emperor is here?!"

Before the father and son could react, Xia Zhengqi, the prince and Xia Miaoyuan had already walked into the Wei residence.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the emperor and the prince! I am late for the reception, please forgive me!"

The father and son of the Wei family knelt down and saluted, saying in unison.

"Please get up quickly, I am just taking my two children out for a stroll in disguise today, and I came to see old Wei on the way."

Xia Zhengqi's face was gentle, and he took two steps forward to help old Wei up.

The Wei family is a family of officials, and their ancestors even had a prime minister.

Wei Han, the eldest son of the Wei family, was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Later, as he aged and suffered from constant illness, he simply resigned and lived a down-to-earth retirement life at home.

"Thanks to your Majesty for not giving up and still thinking about an old man like me!" Wei Han laughed heartily.

"Your Majesty, the one in the prince's arms must be the famous Princess Anguo, right?"

Xia Zhengqi brought Xia Miaoyuan over to show Wei Han: "Yes, come, take a look at my daughter, she is my only princess."

"Wow, the little princess looks like a fairy!"

"Look at her eyes and forehead, she is a very smart child!"

"Oh my, she is only three months old and already like this. She will be amazing when she grows up. She will be amazing!"

Xia Zhengqi: Master Wei, if you can talk, just say more. I love to listen!

The prince looked at Wei Han's exaggerated description and Xia Zhengqi's intoxicated expression, and couldn't help but lower his head and rolled his eyes.

[Oh my God, if he is not a bachelor, he will be so eloquent and talkative! 】

【Oh, I really can't listen to it anymore! 】

【Dad, can you please do something serious? Why don't you talk to the Wei family father and son about Wei Yuer. 】

Xia Miaoyuan really couldn't listen to it anymore, and closed his big dark eyes in annoyance, leaving only a pair of thick eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Father, please move to the main hall. Let's sit down and chat while drinking tea."

It is estimated that Wei Sanchuan couldn't listen to it anymore, and took the excuse of inviting everyone to the main hall for tea to interrupt Wei Han's exaggerated flattery.

"Okay, okay! Mr. Wei, let's go to the main hall." Xia Zhengqi said in a kind tone.

After everyone was seated, Xia Zhengqi gave Eunuch Debao a look and said, "Mr. Wei, I remember that you have a bad leg and foot, especially in winter when it hurts so much that you can't get out of bed, so I brought some supplements."

"I also asked the academicians of the Imperial Medical Academy to prepare some foot baths, which will be good for your foot disease."

Eunuch Debao led two young eunuchs forward and presented the supplements and foot baths.

Wei Han, who had just been fawning on Xia Zhengqi in the courtyard, now had red eyes and tears in his eyes: "How can an old minister deserve such concern from your majesty?"

"I am unworthy of this!"

When he said the last sentence, he bent his legs and pretended to kneel down again.

Xia Zhengqi grabbed Wei Han's hand and smiled: "Why not? You once enlightened me when I was 5 years old."

"I still remember now. You taught me how to hold a pen, how to grind ink, how to sit and how to write.

I was the most playful at that time and refused to sit down and learn calligraphy. You even drew small pictures of the sun, white clouds, mountains, puppies and cats, and wrote words underneath them." "

Although you only taught me for one year, I will never forget your enlightenment in my life." When

Wei Han heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect you still remember..."

"Actually, that's the job of this old minister."

When Xia Zhengqi was a prince, Wei Han was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

Because he was a straight-forward person, he was excluded from the Hanlin Academy at that time, so the hard and laborious task of enlightening the prince fell on him.

"Old Wei, in fact, after you resigned, I sometimes missed you." Xia Zhengqi's mouth curled up.

[Wow, I have learned a lot today! ]

Xia Miaoyuan's eyes widened in disbelief since she heard Xia Zhengqi giving Wei Han a gift.

[I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, my emperor father is really good at it! ]

[The skill of captivating people's hearts is so pure and unforgettable. ]

[This moved old man Wei, no, no. ]

Xia Zhengqi: What do you mean by captivating people's hearts? All of mine are from the heart, okay.

"Oh my, after I resigned and stayed at home, I also missed Your Majesty. I often asked Sanchuan how Your Majesty was doing recently." Wei Han smiled.

"By the way, Mr. Wei, you are in Beijing, is Sanchuan your only son?" Xia Zhengqi took the opportunity to change the subject to Wei Sanchuan.

"Yes, I have four sons in total, and Sanchuan is the eldest." Wei Han stroked his beard and said slowly.

"Of the other three, two were sent out, and one is still working on the farm at home."

Xia Zhengqi looked indifferent and spoke in a gentle tone: "That's not bad, there is an eldest son to take care of you."

"What about the daughters? Are they all married in Beijing?"

When Wei Han heard the word daughters, his face suddenly darkened, but after a moment, he softened again.

"I have three daughters. The eldest and second daughters were married in the capital, but now they are both with their husbands in office and are not in the capital."

"Only the youngest daughter..." At this point, Wei Han suddenly became difficult to speak and could hardly continue.

Wei Sanchuan quickly spoke up to save the situation: "Your Majesty, don't blame me. My third sister is the wife of the Minister of War, Mr. Liu."

"Unfortunately, she died of illness four years ago."

"My third sister passed away suddenly at such a young age, and my father was hit hard."
