249: Reunion (1)

Reunion (1)

This was the largest rain that the capital had welcomed since spring. The magnificent capital was enveloped in a violent storm, and even the palace guarded by the emperor was no exception.

In the imperial study, Emperor Jing Xuan was reviewing the memorials.

Bean-sized raindrops hit the door and windows, but Emperor Jing Xuan seemed to not notice.

It was not until Eunuch Fu reminded him softly, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Rest for a while."

Emperor Jing Xuan rubbed his sore eyebrows. "What time is it?"

Eunuch Fu said, "It's midnight."

Emperor Jing Xuan said, "Who was here just now?"

Eunuch Fu smiled and said, "Yumei from Qixiang Palace."

Emperor Jing Xuan frowned. "Is Consort Xian in trouble again?"

Eunuch Fu smiled. "The thunder was loud and shocked Consort Xian."

Emperor Jing Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go see Consort Xian later."

"Yes." Eunuch Fu waved at the young eunuch outside the door.

The young eunuch understood and quickly went to Qi Xiang Palace to report.

Emperor Jing Xuan looked tired. He looked at the mountain of memorials on the table and took another one.

Eunuch Fu wanted to say something but hesitated. He walked forward and turned the wick brighter.

Emperor Jing Xuan did feel that his vision was a little blurry. "You're still the most considerate."

Eunuch Fu did not dare to take credit.

Emperor Jing Xuan continued, "Has Wei Xichao left?"

Eunuch Fu said awkwardly, "No, Lord Wei is kneeling in the side hall. Without your decree, he doesn't dare to leave."

Emperor Jing Xuan mocked indifferently, "Are you sure he's kneeling?"

"Uh… this…" Eunuch Fu laughed dryly.

Generally speaking, one had to kneel and wait after angering the emperor, but was the youngest son of the Wei family an ordinary person?

He was usually not human when he woke up.

Emperor Jing Xuan said coldly, "Get him in!"

Not long after, Wei Ting was brought into the imperial study by the young eunuch.

Wei Ting entered the palace early in the morning, but Emperor Jing Xuan ignored him for the entire day.

Others had been left hanging for so long and were already trembling in fear. They did not know when the dragon might flare up on them.

This fellow did not mistreat himself. He ate and drank as he should.

Emperor Jing Xuan was angry when he saw him.

"You're quite bold. You dare to return to the capital without my decree!"

Wei Ting cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, my ancestor sent me a dream…"

Emperor Jing Xuan interrupted him. "Speak human language!"

Wei Ting said, "I was wrong. I want to come back."

Emperor Jing Xuan snorted. "Heh!"

Emperor Jing Xuan could not understand. The Wei family, from Old General Wei to the sixth son, were all loyal and honest generals. Why did they become associated with shamelessness when it came to Wei Ting?

Did this kid have any shame?

Emperor Jing Xuan said with a dragon's might, "Where's your backbone? Or have you finally agreed to marry my princess?"

Wei Ting sighed. "I didn't agree. The princess's precious body…"

Emperor Jing Xuan said coldly, "Don't say that you're not worthy!"

Wei Ting replied seriously, "No, the princess is naturally worthy of me."

Listen, what kind of nonsense was this?

It was as if Princess Hui An was not in his league!

Eunuch Fu broke out in cold sweat.

Lord Wei really dared to speak his mind.

Wei Ting changed the topic. "However, Your Majesty, I don't have any personal feelings for Princess Hui An. A forcefully twisted melon isn't sweet."

Emperor Jing Xuan said in a low voice, "If you marry Hui An and spend some time with her, you will naturally understand the virtues of Hui An!"

Princess Hui An was the most beautiful princess in the royal family and was talented. The emperor did not believe that Wei Ting would be indifferent to such a beauty every day.

Wei Ting did not argue further on this topic. Instead, he said seriously, "Moreover, the northern bandits have not been eliminated, and the sea bandits have not been eliminated. I still want to serve Your Majesty for a few more years."

These words were just short of saying that he didn't want to hand over his military power.

No one knew what Emperor Jing Xuan was thinking.

In short, 15 minutes later, Wei Ting came out of the Imperial Study safely.

The secret guard walked forward with an umbrella. "Young Master, His Majesty didn't make things difficult for you, right? You've been locked up inside for a day!"

Wei Ting said calmly, "Correction, I stayed for a day."

The word "locked" sounded very embarrassing, okay?

The secret guard: "Oh. Then, did His Majesty ask you to return to the temple?"

Wei Ting said, "No."

The secret guard said in surprise, "In that case, you don't have to be a monk anymore?"

Wei Ting said arrogantly, "Of course not. I… renounce asceticism!"

"Brother Xichao!"

Not far away, Princess Hui An, who was dressed in a lake blue beautiful palace dress, walked towards Wei Ting in the rain.

The palace maid held an oil-paper umbrella for her.1

This scene was as beautiful as a painting.
