King Rong looked at Zhao Mengqi and suddenly felt that this 'son' had become much stranger.
When Zhao Mengqi was born, King Rong was ecstatic and thanked all the gods and Buddhas in the sky. All the temples and Taoist temples in Shaoxing received money for sesame oil and incense from King Rong's palace.
Even though Zhao Mengqi had just left his mother's womb, he was ugly and small, like a big plucked mouse, but the little bean between his legs was enough for King Rong to be proud of.
But as time passed, the joy in King Rong's heart faded away, and his mood became heavier and heavier. He felt that the gods and Buddhas had played a big joke on him.
Because this son is not only in extremely poor health, he gets into trouble from time to time and frequently wanders between life and death. Moreover, there is no trace of the spiritual liveliness that a child should have in him. When he closes his eyes, he is sleeping, and when he opens his eyes, he is sleeping. His eyes were in a daze, his eyes were dull and lifeless, and he would not cry when he was thirsty or hungry. If he could not breathe, he would really be no different from a clay doll.
I originally hoped that maybe all this was temporary and that he would get up when he grew older, but this son only started toddling when he was almost five years old, and he could not speak until he was adopted into the palace.
To be honest, Zhao Mengqi was King Rong's treasure, but it was also his biggest headache. Even after entering the palace, King Rong had been secretly paying attention to this son. Although they met only a few times, Zhao Mengqi's life and growth were very important to him. They all knew it clearly, knowing that a while ago, he even struggled to recite the Analects of Confucius.
When he heard that the emperor's brother had knocked his son unconscious, at that moment he even had an impulse to enter the palace and snatch his son back.
Since the son is not even as good as an ordinary person and is not destined to be the emperor at all, it is better to take him back to Prince Rong's Mansion and live out his life ignorantly and carefree.
Now, King Rong is thankful that his son has crawled back from hell again. Unexpectedly, he is now a completely different person. Although his body is still so thin, his spirit and spirit are completely different, and his behavior and speech are also different. It was well organized and had a masterly style. What was even more outrageous was that the long couplet just now, plus the five subsequent first couplets, clearly demonstrated profound knowledge and extraordinary wisdom.
Others might suspect that Zhao Mengqi had an expert counselor around him, but King Rong knew that this was impossible. If an expert counselor was useful, why would the two brothers wait until today to use it.
My son has really changed. Is this the so-called survival of a catastrophic situation, which will lead to good fortune in the future?
It seems that there is no other possibility for such a change except for divine enlightenment, but why didn't the emperor brother mention it in the palace the day before yesterday?
Could it be that the emperor's brother was still on guard against him, afraid that he would really fail to snatch his son from him?
He pretended to be doubtful, but mostly he was filled with joy and excitement. How could a father not expect his son to succeed, even if his son could only call him 'uncle' now.
While he was happy, King Rong unknowingly drank several bottles of wine. Suddenly, he felt someone pushing him. Then he came back to his senses and found that his princess was kneeling beside him.
"Hey, why are you here? Aren't you greeting the women in the back hall?"
Concubine Qian's face was a little angry. She had been here for a while, and she kept calling King Rong but got no response. Then she knelt down and pushed him, "Your Majesty, what time is it now? Didn't you agree to wait until the middle of the birthday banquet?" Will Wei Guansun be asked to offer tea to us? What happened at the banquet now? It’s so strange.”
It's really weird. When a princess arrived, except for some servants, no one else seemed to notice. Everyone was whispering to each other, and the dancing and music stopped.
The local officials were pacing back and forth in the hall, as if they were thinking hard about something, and they kept mumbling poem-like sentences.
Wei Guansun was as lost as an eggplant beaten by frost, sitting lifelessly behind the table with his legs spread out. Wei Jun next to him also had a sad look on his face.
Only that hateful fool was drinking a small drink in a leisurely manner, with a faint smile on his lips, which made people feel itchy.
If someone who didn't know this came in, they wouldn't think it was a birthday party. It was simply a funeral.
Hearing Concubine Qian's question, King Rong seemed to have found someone to talk to, so he excitedly recounted the matter in detail. In the end, he was very proud, "You are indeed my son, Zhao Yurui. After ten years of silence, he became a blockbuster!"
When Concubine Qian listened, she felt like it was nonsense. She couldn't believe it at first, but the scene in front of her told her that everything was true, so she was greatly shocked.
A fool not only defeated the talented Wei Guansun, but also stumped five senior officials. This is outrageous!
But Concubine Qian was a thoughtful person and quickly calmed down, "Your Majesty, how long will the ceremony be postponed?"
King Rong didn't care much about this matter at first, but now that he discovered his son's change, he didn't care even more, so he said perfunctorily, "We'll talk about it after they complete the bet."
"How can this be done?!" Concubine Qian became anxious, "Not to mention when they are going to end, if they lose, how can Guan Sun still present the gift after drinking so much wine? Your Majesty, please stop this! "
"It can't be stopped. Although it's just a bet, so many people in the palace have witnessed it. I still record the matter from beginning to end. As for the ceremony, it doesn't matter another day. In the end, Zongzheng has to deal with it anyway. It only counts if you change the jade ultimatum."
Prince Rong usually had a desireless temperament and left Concubine Qian in charge of most matters, but now it was his son's time to shine, so how could he possibly sabotage it.
Concubine Qian became anxious. The reason why her birthday banquet was so grand was just to set up a stage for singing.
An important step in a normal birthday banquet is for descendants to pay their respects to the birthday star, present birthday gifts, and wish the birthday star longevity and longevity.
But Concubine Qian has no children, so the scene will inevitably be a bit bleak, and she will naturally feel sorry for herself.
In this way, Wei Guansun made a grand appearance and expressed in public that seeing his uncle and aunt getting older and poorer, he felt extremely unbearable as a nephew and descendant, so he was willing to serve his elders to fulfill his filial piety. Even if his status was not right, he could not stop himself. A pure heart.
Then the four princesses and their wives would express at this time that they were deeply pleased with their son's benevolence and filial piety. Considering that the Wei family had many heirs, they decided to bear the pain and give up their love, and were willing to let their son be adopted in the name of their sister-in-law. Total adult beauty.
Then, logically, the guests will witness a seemingly impromptu adoption ceremony.
The plan was perfect, but unfortunately at the critical moment, an accident happened and everything was messed up by a fool. Moreover, King Rong also 'betrayed' and was unwilling to cooperate.
Concubine Qian was angry, but helpless. Could she still have a quarrel with Prince Rong in front of so many outsiders? So I had to sit aside and wait.
