The Trick to Teasing a Noble Family’s Son

When Wei Lan's stomach was more than four months old, she began to have slight ups and downs, but it was still difficult to see. The raised lines could only be seen when she went to her clothes.Xie Zichen likes to lie on top and listen to the sound inside, always wondering if the child will do something.

Lin Xia and Wei Hua came back from the border, and she laughed every time they heard Wei Lan say these things. I couldn't imagine that the powerful Xie Zichen in the court came home like this two fool.

At the end of the month, an emergency report came from the border. Di Jie came suddenly and pressed into the border. He won three cities in a row and was caught off guard. Wei Xiong retreated to Lancheng and barely stabilized the line, but secretly gave her He sent a message privately and asked Wei Lan to send a leader to come over immediately. He was seriously injured and had to return to Beijing immediately and couldn't hold it anymore.

On the day of receiving the secret letter, Xie Zichen was also very busy. When he returned to the room, he saw Wei Lan kneeling at the table, staring silently.

Xie Zichen intuitively felt that something was going on. She seldom went to bed at this point since she was pregnant, and after raising her for half a month, she could stabilize the fetus. If it is not a major matter, she shouldn't wait for him so late.He felt distressed and hurriedly went up and sat down opposite her and asked: "What's wrong?"

"A Xiong has come to the letter," Wei Lan handed the letter to Xie Zichen. Xie Zichen frowned. He received the letter from Wei Xiong in the morning. It was indeed not very good, but it would not worry Wei Lan so much.

He opened the letter and heard Wei Lan say calmly: "Axiong is going to come back to Shengjing. We need to send a master to pass. Although my brother Ahua is good at leading troops, he has no overall mind and can hardly be the master. People, even a group of quail nesting in the south, people who have never been on the battlefield. Wang Ning guards the southern front. If I expected it, soon after the news of Dijie’s attack on Chu, the southern kingdom of Nanlang will I can't bear it, Wang Ning can't come over."

Xie Zichen lowered her eyes and squeezed the letter. Wei Lan raised her hand and took a sip of tea. Since she became pregnant, she seldom drinks tea for fear that it will have a bad effect on the fetus.

"My spy in Di Jie said that Rong Hua is getting worse now. He will not come so in vain when he comes this time. Now there are 500,000 troops on the Qingzhou battlefield, 200,000 in Youzhou, Axiong He also said that he visually observed that there are still troops coming. Zichen," Wei Lan raised her eyes and looked at Xie Zichen, and said seriously: "Rong Hua's battle is an overwhelming country. This time, it's not my great Chu who destroyed the country, or He Dijie destroyed the clan, do you understand?"

"So..." Xie Zichen whispered: "What do you want to say?"

"Zichen..." Wei Lan also found it difficult to speak, but she still closed her eyes and said slowly: "I want to go, Qingzhou."

Xie Zichen did not speak. When Wei Lan said this, it meant that she had given up her child.

It is impossible for her to take a child to the battlefield. She must adjust her body to the best condition before going to the front.The front line must not tolerate half bifurcation.

Xie Zichen's body trembled slightly, Wei Lan moved over and reached out and hugged him: "Zichen, listen to me, we will still have children..."

Xie Zichen did not speak, he suppressed his voice, tears falling silent.

The tears fell on Wei Lan's neck, it felt as if they were falling on her heart, hot and scorching, and her whole heart hurt.She took Xie Zichen's hand and said seriously: "You hit me, it was my fault, I was wrong, Zichen, don't cry, don't be sad, just hit me."

"Alan..."

Xie Zichen said hoarsely: "Why, can't you just be a mother?"

Wei Lan was taken aback for a while, Xie Zichen raised his hand and hugged her: "Why can't you just be a wife, why do you always pretend so much in your heart? In your heart, where are my children and me?"

Wei Lan didn't speak. She understood Xie Zichen's grievance, so she could only pat him and said hoarsely: "I'm sorry...but Zichen, if the country will not be a country, why do you consider home?"

"I took the salary from the people's taxes. Compared with those who think of the people, I was born to enjoy such favorable conditions. This is not for nothing, which means I have to bear more responsibilities. The people can run, but they have spent all their lives supporting us, so they should take this responsibility and move forward."

"But why is it you?!" Xie Zichen couldn't hold it anymore, and roared: "There are so many noble children, why is it you? If you don't go on the battlefield today, this great Chu will collapse?! "

"Zichen..." Wei Lan was bitter: "If you want more freedom, you must have more sacrifices."

"That shouldn't be a child!" Xie Zichen closed his eyes: "This is our business, you can't decide its fate. This child is not only yours, Alan, he is also mine."

"But apart from this road, what can I do?"

Wei Lan closed her eyes and said, "Zichen, don't force me. There is no way for this. Is there anyone else in the court? Is it impossible for Huanheng to succeed? Let Huanheng take over Qingzhou, so that I have spent so many years of painstaking management. Even if I am willing, can Huanheng really do it?!

"Huan Heng went to Qingzhou. Would you like Youzhou? What if Huan Heng failed to hold the battle and died, what would the country of Da Chu do?! For this child, do I want to put a country in such a crisis?!"

"Xie Zichen," Wei Lan straightened up, kneeling straight: "I am not only your wife, but also a mother, I am also the prime minister of this great Chu, the eldest son of Changxin Hou Mansion. How can I be the key to the people supporting me? Because of selfishness at all times, all people are at stake? Unless you find a suitable coach for me today..."

Wei Lan opened her eyes, her eyes firm: "Otherwise, I must go to Qingzhou."

Xie Zichen did not speak. After a long time, he finally said, "I'll go."

"you……"

"You at least let me try! If I lose, how about you come back? If I lose," Xie Zichen looked at her seriously: "This kid doesn't need to stay, because I Xie Zichen is incompetent and can't protect him. But Wei Lan, what if I can win?"

Wei Lan did not speak, and Xie Zichen's eyes were too persistent for her to answer.

He should be given a chance.

At least he should have worked hard.

But it's too trifling to try with a country's security and the life of a frontier soldier.

She knew that Xie Zichen had also been to the border in his previous life, and he had fought many small battles, but it was the first time he had seen this battle involving hundreds of thousands of people.

Wei Lan couldn't make a decision, so Xie Zichen said: "You believe me once, can you?"

After a long time, Wei Lan finally let out a foul breath. She raised her head to look at him and said directly: "You are a civil servant, how do you convince the public with your qualifications?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Zichen said immediately: "Send Wei Hua to declare that he is the coach and I am the supervising army."

Wei Lan didn't speak, she lowered her eyes, and Xie Zichen frowned: "So, why are you hesitating?"

"My husband, my brother, are all on the battlefield," Wei Lan smiled bitterly, "but I want to sit in Shengjing..."

"You are not sitting down," Xie Zichen understood her heart knot. For Wei Lan, her brother and husband were fighting on the battlefield, but sitting in the room by herself. This was a manifestation of her incompetence.

Xie Zichen pulled her into his arms and sighed in a low voice: "Sheng Jing wants you to stabilize the situation. Those ghosts and sprites are all controlled by you. I am in front and all rely on you."

Wei Lan didn't speak, she closed her eyes and listened to the heartbeat of this person's chest.

"Xie Zichen," she said slowly: "If you die on the battlefield, I, Wei Lan, will slay Di Jie, kill his people, and sacrifice for you. And I will never have anyone else in my life."

Hearing this, Xie Zichen smiled.

"Just right, just what I want." His voice was cheerful: "I was scared, you said that if I die, you will go with me. In this case," he raised his hand and stroked her hair and said softly : "Who helps me take care of my child?"

Wei Lan didn't speak, she leaned on his shoulder and made no sound.

The next day, Xie Zichen asked the emperor for a decree, and he was appointed as the supervising army, and Wei Hua, alias Lin Hua, set out.

And Wei Lan, who had not gone to court for a long time, finally came out again.

As soon as she stood on the court, everyone looked different. Wei Lan had not been in court for more than a month. Everyone thought she was seriously ill. Who knew she would appear again and still look personable.After Xie Zichen's request, she pretended to say: "This time the mountains are high and the waters are far away, Shang Shu has made your journey safe. I will take care of you, Prime Minister Wang and Wang Shangshu, and Master Xie can be at ease."

Xie Zichen replied with a salute and said calmly: "There are ministers here, Zichen has nothing to worry about."

Everyone was shocked by the fact that Xie Zichen went to Qingzhou. After waiting for the next dynasty, Xie Zichen's staff followed up and said: "Why are you so confused? In the war-torn land of Qingzhou at this time, how can you blend it so casually? Of course it matters, but right now..."

"It's not the right time." Xie Zichen's face was flat, but he said to everyone: "If the country is not a country, why is home? Everyone," he turned to look at Wei Lan, who was talking to Wang Xi, with gentle eyes in his eyes: " After I leave, please trouble you to take good care of Prime Minister Wei for me. I promise you that if anything goes wrong with me, Prime Minister Wei will realize it for me."

Everyone was stunned, and then went silent.In fact, the most important thing for them to discourage Xie Zichen is to worry about the agreement between themselves and Xie Zichen. Now that they have relied on, they will naturally not be too obstructive.However, one of them still said: "My lord, my lover has never been the only one who can take care of him, and no one else can take care of him."

Xie Zichen looked up and saw that it was his nephew.

He smiled, bitterness in his eyes.

"Yes, I should take care of it myself."

Having said that, Xie Zichen briefly confessed to them and asked them to go back and wait, and then went to Xie's Mansion.

After arriving at Xie's Mansion, the Xie family was already waiting for him. Several elders of the Xie family sat in the lobby, and Xie Yulan stood beside the elder.Xie Zichen walked in, took off the cloak and handed it to the attendants beside him, then bowed to the elders and sat in the first seat.

After sitting up, the eldest Xie Fudao said, "The family chief went to Qingzhou, why didn't we discuss this matter with us first? Qingzhou Tiger Wolf Land, now the Patriarch goes, if there are three long and two short, how can the Xie family deal with it?"

"This matter has just been decided, and the decision was made in a hurry. I couldn't tell it in time. I hope you can forgive me."

Xie Zichen nodded and looked at Xie Fudao sincerely: "Now Qingzhou is in a hurry. The original coach of Qingzhou, Wei Xiong, has been seriously injured and can only be temporarily replaced. There is no one available in the court. Zichen is also forced to go this time. "

"Helpless?" Xie Qing picked up the tea and said directly: "Where is Wei Lan?"

"Yes," Xie Jue said immediately: "Zichen, spoil your wife should also be divided into priorities. At this critical moment, she is not a military commander, what are you a civil servant?! Her Wei family is fine and expensive, I thank you The owner of the family is not refined and expensive?"

"Father..." Xie Zichen was a little helpless, sighed and said: "She is now... in poor health."

"How bad is your health?" Xie Jue sneered: "It's just greedy for life and fear of death!"

"Father!" Xie Zichen shouted angrily, Xie Jue shut up immediately, Xie Qing looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer, Xie Zichen thought for a while, this time he left, Wei Lan must be isolated and helpless. Fortunately now, when her belly grows up, when she starts to give birth, someone in the court will always protect her and help her.

After a long time, he finally said: "Unrelated people, wait, let's step back first."

Everyone was stunned, and saw all the maids and juniors go down.Immediately there were only the old family members of Xie Jue and above who were left on the court.Seeing this formation, Xie Fudao frowned: "Is it possible that Zichen has encountered something difficult?"

As soon as the voice fell, I saw Xie Zichen kneel down and kowtowed towards everyone: "There is something about Zichen, and I want to ask you grandpas, uncles, and fathers."

Everyone was stunned, Xie Fudao and Xie Qing looked at each other and said hurriedly: "You said it."

"Zichen's wife... is pregnant."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Everyone knows who Xie Zichen's wife is.Even if it is said to the outside world that it is the eldest lady of Changxinhou's Mansion, everyone knows who entered the mansion that day.

Wei Lan is pregnant?

What a big joke!

So Xie Jue immediately said: "Your wife? When did you marry again? Why didn't you tell us?! Now that you have children, what are you going to do in Qingzhou?!"

"Alan is pregnant," Xie Zichen turned his gaze on Xie Qing's face, who had taught him and Wei Lan. Xie Qing was shocked and heard Xie Zichen say: "Now I can't go to the battlefield. I can only go for her. After I leave , I also hope that your grandfathers and uncles will not embarrass her and help her in the court..."

Hearing this, Xie Qing suddenly stood up: "What did you say?!"

He had taught Wei Lan, and he naturally knew how amazing this was.

But she is pregnant?!

Can a man conceive a child?!

No, men must not be pregnant, so...

Wei Lan is female?!

Everyone present looked dumbfounded. For a long time, Xie Fudao was the first to react: "She is a woman, how can she be an official?!"

As he said, he exclaimed angrily: "Did you do such a ridiculous thing, you are still protecting her like this?! Zichen, you are not dizzy!"

"Grandpa," Xie Zichen raised his eyes to look at him with clear eyes: "Men and women, is it so important? A prime minister is my Xie family's wife, but no one else knows. Do you still think, men and women, is this important?"

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

A woman as the prime minister, no one else has noticed, and this woman is the wife of the Xie family!

The Xie family didn't give a half of their strength or resources, so they had a prime minister who was desperate to serve as an ally. What kind of luck is this!

If Wei Lan is a man, then she will have to worry about her having an awkward relationship with Xie Zichen, that someone will be separated, and that this man will one day betray Xie's family because of his ambition.But if it is a woman, or a woman who will give birth to offspring of the Xie family, this is completely different.

What ambition and revenge can a woman have?No matter how talented you are, Xie Zichen is the master at home!

After understanding this, everyone immediately had no opinion on Wei Lan being the prime minister. Xie Zichen observed everyone’s reaction and realized that they had a contempt for Wei Lan, and said: "She has a bad temper and is cruel, you guys. Don't provoke her casually. But in one day, she was the biggest help of the Xie family. Now she is pregnant, and I hope you will take care of me. I will play for her. I am afraid that the nobles in Beijing will be dissatisfied. Elders help, don't let these words be too unpleasant. After a few months of her pregnancy, if I still do not come back, please help cover up."

After listening to Xie Zichen's words, everyone nodded. Xie Zichen was relieved when he saw it, and said, "I'll discuss another important matter with you. Xie's 100,000 troops, I want to transfer to Qingzhou."

Hearing this, everyone immediately frowned: "The situation is so critical that it is so critical? My Xie family has sent troops. What about everyone else?"

"Naturally it's going to come out." Xie Zichen couldn't just let himself work, and immediately explained: "I'm going to find someone."

Xie Zichen had a discussion and went back home.

When Xie Zichen returned home, Wang Xi and Wei Lan made an appointment and were chatting with each other in the restaurant.

Wei Lan pushed her body away and didn't feel well, so she asked for a glass of water, supported her chin and listened to the people.Now she is still not visible, and she can't see it in looser clothes. Wang Xi is still a talkative, calling out young people from all walks of life, and everyone talks about the situation.

"Now Rong Hua has brought a million soldiers here, don't you know if he can resist it?"

"What are you afraid of?" A young man came over with a drink. This person was Wang Yuan. After the fall of Sucheng, their three princes and one party also lost power. Politics.

He brought the wine to Wang Xi and raised his glass, "Good brother, we also have millions of men in Da Chu, so why be afraid?"

Hearing this, Wang Xi couldn't help but laughed: "Second brother, you are afraid that you are drunk, you actually called my brother."

"Everyone is my brother now!"

Wang Yuan stood up to raise his glass and laughed loudly: "Come here, everyone, I'll wait and drink!"

All the people present applauded, a drunken song.Wei Lan was holding her chin in the corner, looking at everyone with a smile, and drinking a glass of white water.

After the group drank for a while, they completely debauched. Wang Yuan was completely drunk and stumbled to Wei Lan, toasting: "Wei...Prime Minister Wei."

Wei Lan smiled. She raised her glass and touched Wang Yuan gently, and said gently: "San Gongzi."

"Prime Minister Wei," Wang Yuan raised his head, amidst the noise, he asked: "Rong Hua... really brought a million soldiers here?"

"More than a million."

"We..." Wang Yuan lowered his eyes, leaning on a pillar, and slowly said, "Will you win?"

"My husband, my brother, and my friends are all on the battlefield."

Wang Yuan was taken aback for a moment. After a while, he slowly smiled: "You know... back then, why did I choose the Third Highness?"

Hearing this person who hadn’t mentioned it for a long time, Wei Lan couldn’t help being stunned. Wang Yuan turned her head and looked out the window. There were few stars outside the window. Wang Yuan slowly said, “Because the three highnesses told me that one day, he Will bring Da Chu back to the north."

"I believe it."

"So even if I know that he is narrow-minded, that he is suspicious and fickle, and that he is violent, but in my heart," he raised his hand, pointed to his heart, and said seriously: "He is still, it is me. The only monarch."

"San Gongzi," Wei Lan sighed, "You are drunk."

"I didn't." Wang Yuan closed his eyes and said hoarsely: "For so many years, Wei Lan, he has been dead for so many years, and I have never been so sober. If he was enthroned in those years, I would have it today. The bloody man is here! How can he be so useless?!"

"Worst?" Wei Lan couldn't help but laughed: "My brother is under the age of seventeen. He was the coach on the battlefield and was seriously injured; my righteous brother Lin Hua, who just returned to Shengjing, will leave his wife and go to the battlefield again; my husband Xie Zichen As a generation of civil servants, I have to go to the battlefield. I have never been afraid of Da Chu. How can I talk about being useless?!"

Everyone knew about the relationship between Xie Zichen and her, and when Wei Lan said so, no one said anything.

However, when he heard these words, Wang Yuan laughed. He smiled with sarcasm and coldness, and said directly: "But I am the only military commander in the dynasty, the single one in the legendary leader Di Jie. Outside the Great Wall, the prestigious Wei Shizi nestled in Shengjing, forcing a civil servant to go to the battlefield. Isn't this a useless one?!"

Wang Yuan's last roar came out, and the audience fell silent as soon as his voice fell.Everyone looked at Wei Lan, but Wei Lan looked still.

Wang Xi frowned and yelled: "Brother, get out!"

"Isn't it?!" Wang Yuan raised his voice and pointed at Wei Lan: "She, born as a military commander, is now a great Chu country. She knows that I am a military commander, but she can watch a civil servant or her lover. The civil servants rushed to the battlefield for thousands of miles indifferent, and laughed and talked with me about drinking, such a man, how can he not be useless?!"

Wei Lan didn't speak, Wang Xi suddenly got up, pointed to the door and said: "Get out of here!"

"Why should I get out?!" Wang Yuan turned around drunk and sneered: "You should get out, it should be this rat! Her young brother is on the front line, her lover is on the front line, and everyone who shouldn't be on the front line is on the front line. But she was hiding in Shengjing, trying to steal her life, afraid of the million soldiers! Wang Xi, what are you yelling at, don’t you all think so?! You didn’t let people drag me out, right? Do you want me to say these things?!"

"Wei Lan," Wang Yuan suddenly turned around, drew out his sword, and pointed to her: "I'm here today, I'm here to beg you. If you really are a good man in Da Chu," he said, he flipped the sword with both hands. Offer it, kneeling in front of Wei Lan, and tremblingly said: "Please go to Qingzhou!"

The audience was quiet, Wei Lan looked at the sword in front of her, then slowly raised her head and swept towards everyone.

"Everyone... do you think the same way?"

No one speaks.

After a while, the elder brothers who were usually hungry, knelt down on one knee.

"Gou Li country lives and dies, why avoid misfortune and good fortune?"

Wang Yuan said hoarsely, begging: "Tomorrow, I will follow Master Xie to Qingzhou, but I know that Master Xie is no more than a civil servant. If anyone can save Da Chu, he will become Prime Minister Wei! Prime Minister!"

Wei Lan didn't speak, Wang Xi looked at the kneeling full house, closed his eyes, and didn't care anymore.

And Wei Lan looked at the scorching sword in front of her, and slowly said, "Gou Li country lives and dies. How can we avoid misfortune and good fortune?"

As she said, she got up slowly and said gently: "But... Thanks to everyone's wrong love, Wei Lan is now in ruin, and I am afraid that she will not be able to go to the battlefield. But I have you all, so why not worry!"

After speaking, she turned around and left slowly.

There was a sharp pain in her heart, and every word of Wang Yuan slashed on her heart like a sword.

Wei Lan has never been knocked down by anything, but only this time, when all her cherished people are on the battlefield, but when she can do nothing but wait, she feels so weak and so incompetent, as if A trapped beast was trapped in a cage, screaming desperately, full of despair.

She did not ride in the carriage, and walked back slowly.

She wanted to calm her mood, at the moment she wanted to see off again, at least calmly, at least calmly, so that Xie Zichen could leave with confidence.So she packed her mood and walked home, but only halfway away, she saw the person waiting there.

A black robe, a white fox fur cloak, and a lantern, stood there quietly.

Wei Lan paused, and couldn't help being stunned. Xie Zichen smiled mildly, his voice floating in the night breeze, like spring flowers, like candlelight, bringing a warm breath throughout the night.

"You are not coming back, I am afraid that something will happen to you, so I will pick you up."

He spoke out, as always.

She didn't know what was wrong. The moment he spoke, she suddenly ran over, plunged into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Her tears fell. At the moment when she met this person, Xie Zichen was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that she was crying. She couldn't help but panicked instantly and said hurriedly: "What's the matter? Who bullied you? Lan, why are you crying?"

Wei Lan didn't speak. She was afraid that he would see her crying, so she buried her head on his chest and hugged him tightly.

"Sorry……"

She said hoarsely: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Sorry, as a woman, as a wife, I cannot protect you at the most critical moment.

She knew for the first time that there were some things she was destined to be unable to overcome, and some roads were really too difficult to walk. She didn't know how to go.

Xie Zichen hugged her tightly and said gently: "Alan, I should be said to be sorry."

"I limited you, and I restrained you. I forced you to face too much. I forced you to give birth to this child. I went to the battlefield. I know there will be a lot of rumors, but Alan... …"

He slowly said: "Being a parent naturally has a lot of obstacles. When I win the first game, the rumors will stop. At that time, no one can say anything."

"Xie Zichen..." Wei Lan shook her head: "I am not afraid of gossip."

But she was afraid that those rumors were true.

She is really a coward, and she really sits in her room when her most important person is fighting.

What kind of lamp does he avenge him after death? Isn't the best thing to protect him on the battlefield? If he dies, at least step on her body first.

Seeing her expression, Xie Zichen understood what she was thinking.He held her hand and said softly: "Alan, go, let's go home."

"Wait for next year, you come to meet me at the gate of the city and take me home."
