Prince An felt that the girl in front of him felt inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before...
But he was very sure that today was his first time meeting the Wei family.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen it. Prince An didn't bother to think about it deeply. After all, it was not an important thing.
But he knew who the woman in front of him was. There was only one chubby woman in the Wei family, and that was Wei Zhenzhen, who had helped his son a lot.
Thinking of all the help this woman had given to his son, Prince An subconsciously raised an amiable smile, as kind as if she were her elder, without the aura of a prince at all: "You are Zhen Zhen, right? I am Yi, oh no, You now call him Cheng Yi, I am Cheng Yi's biological father, you can call me Uncle Yi in private."
The implication is that he can be treated as an ordinary elder in private.
Wei Zhenzhen had no concept of dignity and no deep understanding of the prince's identity. When Prince An said this, she agreed without thinking too much: "Okay, Uncle Yi."
However, Wei's father and mother were not as generous as Wei Zhenzhen. When they saw Prince An coming to the door, they immediately got up from their chairs and were about to kneel down to salute when Prince An stopped them: "No need to be polite."
Although Prince An's attitude was amiable, Wei's father and mother were still on pins and needles and felt deeply uncomfortable. Therefore, they both stammered in response to Prince An's questions: "Xiao, Xiao Cheng, no, no, the prince, he He’s very nice and very, very smart.”
"What does he usually like to do here? Does he have any special hobbies?"
"The prince generally likes to stay in the house and read books. I haven't seen him have any special hobbies."
Prince An wanted his father and mother to relax and not be afraid of him. He would not do anything to them. After all, they were the benefactors of Prince An's palace. It was too late for him to thank them, so how could he do anything to them? Sample……
However, Wei's father and mother still couldn't control their nervousness. The biggest official they had ever seen was the county magistrate.
"Then has he ever encountered anything unhappy? Where does he usually like to hang out?"
"This..." Mother Wei's eyes finally couldn't help but drift to Wei Zhenzhen.
To be honest, Wei Zhenzhen actually spent more time with Cheng Yi than both of them. It was actually better to ask Wei Zhenzhen directly. However, Wei's father and mother did not want Wei Zhenzhen to face Prince An directly because they were afraid that Wei Zhenzhen would offend Prince An if he did not pay attention.
Although Wei Zhenzhen is extremely powerful and can definitely beat Prince An, Prince An is not alone. The person standing behind him is the Yi Jiajun...
Wei's father and mother did not want anything to happen to Wei Zhenzhen.
Mother Wei's eyes quickly moved away, but Prince An, who had been observing them carefully, noticed.
Over the years, Prince An has actually received reports about Cheng Yi, but the reports are very brief. They usually simply describe where Cheng Yi is currently staying, what kind of people he has met, and everything is fine.
There are no reports on the small details of daily life. In order to prevent Cheng Yi from being aware of the existence of the person protecting him, that person did not protect him personally, but followed him from a distance. Therefore, for many things, that person did not cannot be observed.
For example, what does Cheng Yi like to eat and play...
Prince An remembered that the report mentioned Cheng Yi and Wei Zhenzhen and others playing together from time to time, so Prince An turned to Wei Zhenzhen and asked: "Zhenzhen, can you tell Uncle Yi something about him?"
Wei Zhenzhen saw that although Wei's father and Wei's mother looked worried, they had no intention of stopping her in the end, so she replied: "What do you want to know?"
Seeing that Wei Zhenzhen's reply was fluent, Prince An was overjoyed, as if he had finally caught a fat sheep to eat, no, it was just a chat, he couldn't wait to say: "I want to know everything, Zhenzhen, you can say anything." ."
Wei Zhenzhen: "..."
Wei Zhenzhen has a very good memory, so she remembers many things, so she started from her encounter with Cheng Yi.
After all, Wei Zhenzhen has also read books, so her narrative ability is first-rate. Even some very ordinary things can make her talk about ups and downs, ups and downs, and full of interest.
Not only Prince An listened with interest, but also Father Wei and Mother Wei listened with interest. Their tense bodies gradually relaxed, and occasionally they would interject a few words.
"I remember here, he was..."
"Yes, yes! I also felt that he..."
…
…
The tense and restrained atmosphere in the room slowly dissipated, gradually becoming harmonious and warm, and sometimes there was laughter.
Because she spent too long with Cheng Yi, even though the night was getting dark, Wei Zhenzhen still hadn't finished talking about everything...
Her voice was already hoarse as she spoke, but she had no intention of stopping. It was not because she was afraid of Prince An that she did not dare to stop, but because the snacks and cakes were delicious and the tea was uninterrupted, which made Wei Zhenzhen very patient and interested. Go on.
Wei Zhenzhen felt that Prince An was worthy of being Cheng Yi's biological father, and he knew how to feed people. She felt that this line of descent was very good! Be encouraged!
However, it was Wei Zhenzhen who ended the conversation on her own initiative, because she realized that it was already the time for Wei's father and mother to go to bed.
"Okay, that's it for today, I won't say any more," Wei Zhenzhen said with concern, "Mom and dad, it's time for you to go to bed."
"Uh..." Mother Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's okay, Zhen Zhen, please continue."
"No, it's time for parents to go to bed. Brother Yuzi told me to take good care of you." After saying that, Wei Zhenzhen said to Prince An, "Uncle Yi, it's time for you to go back."
If he doesn't go back, her parents probably won't dare to go to bed and rest because of their scruples.
To be honest, Prince An didn't want to go back. He wanted to stay in the Wei family like his child and not go back. Not only because he was addicted to listening to the story, but also because there were traces of his child's life here.
Prince An had been guarding the poor and arduous frontier for so many years. Sometimes he would occasionally eat and drink with the soldiers below, so he developed his informal temperament, so he shamelessly asked bluntly: "Tonight Can I, the king, stay here?"
Because he was speaking to Wei's father and mother, Prince An used his title.
Father Wei and Mother Wei looked at each other in confusion. For a moment, they didn't know whether to refuse or accept. In the end, Father Wei had to bite the bullet and replied: "This... the place here is small, I'm afraid..."
"It doesn't matter. If the prince can live here, of course I can live here too!"
"This..." Father Wei felt deeply embarrassed, "But there is no extra bedroom for you, Your Highness..."
"It doesn't matter, I just want to live in the prince's bedroom." At this point, Prince An suddenly felt that this decision was great. Although he can't see the child now, it would be good to live in the place where the child lived!
Prince An had already mentioned this, and Wei's father and mother didn't know how to refuse, so in the end Prince An settled in the Wei family.
Since Cheng Yi was admitted back to Prince An's Mansion, the quality of the Wei family's food, clothing, housing and transportation has been greatly improved because Cheng Yi was unwilling to return to the Prince's Mansion. Everyone's bed has been replaced with the smoothest and most comfortable silk and satin, and is decorated with goose feathers. There is no mattress, so Prince An can move directly into Cheng Yi's bedroom without too many arrangements.
Prince An stayed here for ten days.
During these ten days, Prince An and Wei's father and mother, Wei Zhenzhen, ate and drank together, and talked about Cheng Yi's affairs whenever they had time. These ten days of getting along with each other allowed Wei's father and Wei's mother to gradually treat them with a normal attitude. Prince An.
Early in the morning on the day when the examination was over, Prince An got up early to wash up and dress up. The Wei family thought he would tidy up quickly. After all, he had servants to take care of him, but they didn't expect...
"What do you think of this king's clothes? Does it make people feel majestic?"
"No, this shirt is very good."
"No, I'd better try another one. That one seems more amiable."
"..."
"How is it? Is this one more amiable? Will he feel friendly and want to get closer to me when he sees me?"
"..."
"Oh, no, let's try another one. This one doesn't seem to be perfect either."
"..."
Father Wei and Mother Wei have always felt that they doted on their children enough. No family around them could dote on their children as much as them, but after meeting Prince An...
They couldn't help but reflect deeply on themselves. In fact, they did not love their children as much as they thought they did, because compared with Prince An, their children were not worth mentioning at all.
When the steward saw that Prince An seemed to be continuing to change his fourth and fifth sets of clothes, he finally couldn't help but cautiously reminded him: "Your Majesty, if you don't set off, you may be late and miss the prince's first appearance. ”
After hearing this, Prince An stopped changing his clothes, and then set off to Gongyuan.
Servants and carriages had been parked outside the examination room for a long time, but the people from Prince An's Mansion had been prepared and had grabbed the best seats in advance.
Of course, when other people knew that they were from Prince An's Mansion, they automatically vacated the best seats and did not dare to grab them, but privately they all wondered why the people from Prince An's Mansion were here...
"Is that really the carriage from Prince An's palace? Did anyone in their family take part in the imperial examination?"
"Isn't it that Prince An's Mansion doesn't have——"
"Shh! Don't say these words randomly, be careful of something happening!"
"Maybe it's a relative's child?"
…
…
Because he didn't want to attract attention, Prince An did not get off the carriage after arriving outside the examination room. Instead, he stayed in the carriage and waited. However, from time to time he would secretly lift a little curtain and peek through the gap to see what was going on outside the carriage.
Wei Cheyu left the examination room before Cheng Yi. As soon as he came out, he saw Wei Zhenzhen and the others because they were very conspicuous.
They stood in the center and front position outside the examination room, with three luxurious carriages behind them, and the carriages were surrounded by crowded people. However, no matter how crowded the surroundings were, everyone kept a distance from them, or rather from those three carriages. The carriages kept their distance.
Wei Cheyu didn't ask what was going on. He stepped forward and shouted as if he didn't notice anything unusual: "Dad, mother, Zhen Zhen..."
Mother Wei first asked: "Is there anything uncomfortable?"
"No."
"That's good," Mother Wei breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "We'll go back after Xiao Cheng comes out."
"Um……"
Wei Cheyu looked at Wei Zhenzhen at this time and said nothing, but Wei Zhenzhen knew what he wanted to ask, so she said: "Brother Yuzi, everything is fine."
Wei Cheyu's lips couldn't help but curl up: "Well..."
Finally, Cheng Yi appeared at the gate of Gongyuan.
