Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 124 Meeting the Nephew and Uncle

In order to welcome Wulan Kacha, Zhao Xiyan still ordered the Ministry of Rites to receive him with the highest etiquette. Who is called Wulan Kacha is the Great Khan of Mobei, with a high status.Although his throne is no different from picking it up for nothing, after all, Mobei's national strength is there, so he can't be treated badly and underestimate him.Zhao Xiyan still had some complaints in his heart, and even looked down on Wulan Kacha.In the past, when Ulanya was alive, she often made troubles for herself, but now she has given him a throne, and she still comes to Daqi to eat and drink.Summer is about to begin, and Daqi has a vast territory. Every year, there are droughts or floods in some places. It would be great to use the money for entertaining Ulan Kacha to do some practical things for the people, but now it is lost in vain.Zhao Xiyan was unhappy in his heart, but he was still happy on the surface.Civil and military officials had been waiting all the way in the palace for a long time. Zhao Xiyan and Wulan Kacha walked side by side, and the two had a good chat.

Originally, on such a big day, it was inappropriate for the female family members of the harem to appear.But Qi Rui is still young, so she must be accompanied by an adult.Qiu Ruyu already had a son, so it was not suitable for her to bring Qi Rui out to meet Ulan Kacha, and Xia Shuning herself had both sons and daughters.So Su Qingshu, the queen of a country, led Qi Rui to wait in the Taiji Hall early.Outside the Hall of Tai Chi, the ministers of Da Qi paid respects to Emperor Da Qi and greeted Mobei Great Khan.Wulan Kacha smiled even more heartily, it really is a battle of great powers.After some politeness and etiquette, it can be regarded as a welcome for Ulan Kacha.The Mobei mission was relocated to the post house, and the civil and military officials also dispersed.There is also a palace banquet for Mobei Dahan tonight, and these grown-ups hurried back.This kind of palace banquet is allowed to bring family members with civil and military officials.This is a good opportunity not to be missed, hurry back to your home to let the unmarried women at home get ready to dress up.If one can win the emperor's favor at the palace banquet, it will be a skyrocketing success, no one wants to miss such a good opportunity.

Zhao Xiyan led Wulan Kacha into the Taiji Hall, and the little Qi Rui tightly held Su Qingshu's hand, very nervous.Su Qingshu held his hand, feeling a little delicate in her heart, the feeling of being tightly relied on by a small child was amazing, and she was very happy.Zhao Xiyan had already held Qi Rui in his arms before Wulan Kacha came, and explained to him that his uncle was coming to see him.But Qi Rui didn't have much impression of this uncle, and Zhao Xiyan didn't know how to explain it. He could only say that he was his mother's brother, who loved Qi Rui as much as his father did.Qi Rui doesn't understand the concept of an uncle, but he is his mother's brother and loves him as much as his father. He is looking forward to this unknown uncle, but he has never seen him and is a little nervous.As soon as Wulan Kacha entered the Taiji Hall, he saw that little man.His nose was sore, because this child looked so much like Ulanya, his eyes turned red immediately.When Qi Rui saw the uncle his father was talking about, he became even more nervous, holding Su Qingshu's hand even tighter.Wulan Kacha bent down, wanting to talk to Qi Rui.

"Are you Qi Rui?"

Qi Rui nodded obediently, Wulan Kacha reached out to touch his little head, and he hid in Su Qingshu's arms.Zhao Xiyan knew that Qi Rui was a little suspicious, and was afraid that he would be afraid, so he walked up to him and knelt down, looked at him at the same level, and held Qi Rui's hands lovingly.

"Qi Rui, don't be afraid, Father is here."

After hearing this, Qi Rui threw herself into Zhao Xiyan's arms.Zhao Xiyan picked him up, stood up straight and walked slowly to Wulan Kacha, patting his back with one hand to comfort him.

"Don't be afraid, Qi Rui, this is your uncle, your mother's brother. He loves you just like your father, he just wants to hug you and say a few words to you. Don't be afraid, you know? Qi Rui is a man! "

After listening to Zhao Xiyan's patient explanation, Qi Rui nodded, and Zhao Xiyan smiled lovingly and patted his head.Wulan Kacha was very sad, this was his only relative in this world, but he didn't recognize himself.After Wulan Kacha ascended the throne, he often thought of his father, mother, concubine, sister, wife, and children. He often woke up in a dream, waking up in a cold sweat, and there was no one around him.He became the king of Mobei, but lost all his relatives. He would rather not have anything, as long as they are still there.The little man in front of him was the only flesh and blood of his own sister, and his face evoked all his longing and pain for Ulanya.Qi Rui saw that Ulan Kacha's eyes turned red and kept looking at him.Zhao Xiyan tried to put the child in his arms into Wulan Kacha's arms, but he didn't expect to succeed this time.Wulan Kacha hugged Qi Rui tightly, in front of Zhao Xiyan and Su Qingshu, regardless of Mobei Dahan's face, she couldn't help but shed tears.All the longing and heartache flooded out for a moment, Zhao Xiyan and Su Qingshu looked at this eight-foot-tall iron-framed man, crying so sadly, and felt even more desolate.Zhao Xiyan recalled the scene of Ulanya dying in his arms, bowed his head and remained silent.Seeing that he was so sad, Su Qingshu couldn't help but threw himself into Zhao Xiyan's arms like before, comforting him.But Zhao Xiyan was not the former Zhao Xiyan, he took a step forward without any trace, and Su Qingshu missed it.

Qi Rui knew that the uncle in front of him was sad. Although he didn't like being hugged in such a rude way, he couldn't refuse, after all, the uncle was still crying.This temperament is a bit like Zhao Xiyan, he will not hurt people casually, and will take care of other people's feelings.Qi Rui was hugged uncomfortably, and kept looking towards Zhao Xiyan.Zhao Xiyan has raised him for so long, and everyone said that his son is better than his father. Although he has no blood relationship, he has been brought up since he was a child, and he can tell at a glance.Zhao Xiyan went forward to separate them, and Wulan Kacha realized that he had been rude and was a little ashamed.He hastily wiped away his tears and put his hands on Qi Rui's shoulders.

"Hao Erlang, Ben Khan is your uncle, do you know?"

"Father said that uncle is mother's elder brother. Qi Rui knows."

"Very well, uncle hasn't seen you for a long time, and brought you a gift."

Qi Rui's eyes lit up after hearing the gift, and she was looking forward to it.Wulan Kacha took out two things from his bosom and put them in front of his eyes. Qi Rui's eyes lit up when he saw them.

"This is your mother's favorite pony when she was a child. It is carved with rubies. It is very rare. This string of bells is always on your mother's body. She accidentally left it in your grandfather's room. Uncle specially Brought to you from Mobei, do you like it?"

Qi Rui liked these two things very much, nodded hurriedly, grabbed the pony and the bell and stuffed them into her arms very preciously.Qi Rui has everything that Zhao Qichen and Zhao Qichao have, which is exactly the treatment a prince should have.His toy box is full of precious things, any one is a hundred times more expensive than the pony and the bell, but Qi Rui cherishes it very much because it belongs to his mother.Zhao Xiyan loves Qirui more than Qichen. Qichen lost his father but still has his mother to take care of him.Qi Rui's biological parents are gone, so he is an orphan. Zhao Xiyan often thinks of Ulanya dying in his arms, and cherishes this child even more.Qi Chen never went to bed with Zhao Xiyan, Qi Rui was younger, and often cried when she missed her mother in the middle of the night, Qiu Ruyu couldn't be coaxed well either.At this time, Qi Rui would be clamoring for his father, so Zhao Xiyan brought him to Weiyang Palace and slept next to him and Xia Shuning.Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning coaxed the poor child to bed together, and the next day Qi Rui would bring Zhao Muning to continue mischief in the courtyard of Weiyang Palace.Xia Shuning would also take care of him together, feeding Zhao Muning and Qi Rui.Zhao Xiyan really wanted to bring Qirui to Weiyang Palace to be raised, but Xia Shuning already had both children, and Qichao was still young, so adding another one would be tiring.Xia Shuning also suggested that Zhao Xiyan put Qi Rui under the queen's lap to raise her, since the queen would not treat Qi Rui badly if she had no children under her lap.But Zhao Xiyan had selfish intentions, the queen was still the mother-in-law, so she raised Qi Rui under her knees, in case the ministers suggested that Qi Rui should be adopted under the queen's name, Qi Rui would become the son-in-law.This is absolutely impossible. When he becomes the emperor, he will not be treated equally as before. He has gone through hardships, and the best thing is to leave him and Xia Shuning's children.

Zhao Xiyan carried Qi Rui from Wulan Kacha's arms back to his own, and Qi Rui breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been released after serving her sentence.Qi Rui still likes his father the most. His father never makes him breathless when he hugs him, and he will let himself ride on his shoulders and touch the top of the palace gate.Qi Rui hugged Zhao Xiyan's neck very habitually, and put her small head on Zhao Xiyan's shoulder.Zhao Xiyan knew that he was "suffering" just now, so he patted his back and coaxed him gently.Wulan Kacha was a little jealous, Qi Rui was obviously not Zhao Xiyan's child, and Qi Rui only got close to him, but her own uncle was ignored.Zhao Xiyan saw the jealousy in Wulan Kacha's eyes, and couldn't help laughing, as if the plot had succeeded.

"Qi Rui recognizes his life, you come to the palace more often to get in touch with him, it's good to get acquainted with him."

"That's what you said, that Ben Khan will often go to the palace to find Qi Rui."

"All right."

"Qi Rui, can you please give your uncle a rest? After a while, the emperor will take you to Ning Niangniang's place to find your little sister and younger brother to play with. Ning Niangniang has honey yam cakes and honey water."

As soon as Qi Rui heard that her father had spoken, she naturally wanted to pay her respects to her uncle obediently, not to mention that the cakes at Niang Niang Niang's place were much better than those in the Imperial Dining Room.After all, he is a child, and he couldn't help the temptation to eat, and couldn't help missing his little brother and little sister, so he nodded.Zhao Xiyan put him down, Qi Rui ran to Wulan Kacha, and respectfully greeted Ann.Wulan Kacha is very happy, this little guy is still very sensible.It's just that he listened too much to Zhao Xiyan's words, so he didn't look like Mobei's child at all, but very much like Daqi's child.Wulan Kacha patted his head and helped him up.Qi Rui got up and ran back to Zhao Xiyan, reaching out to hug him.Zhao Xiyan hugged him in his arms and said goodbye to Wulan Kacha. Wulan Kacha wanted to say a few more words to the child, but Zhao Xiyan took the child away, blowing his beard and staring in anger.Su Qingshu was very disappointed, but he still maintained the demeanor of a country's mother in front of the Great Khan in Mobei, and followed Zhao Xiyan back to the harem.Zhao Xiyan said a few caring words to Su Qingshu, and he also knew that she had been hiding from the queen just now, so she couldn't help but feel comfortable.After hearing his words, Su Qingshu felt somewhat more comfortable, and returned to Fengqi Palace very obediently.Tonight's palace banquet, many female relatives will come tonight, Su Qingshu, as a queen, also has to be busy.

Zhao Xiyan carried Qi Rui all the way back to Weiyang Palace, talking to him all the way.Qi Rui lost the restraint she had when she saw Ulan Kacha just now, and her small mouth chattered non-stop.

"Does Qi Rui like uncle?"

"like."

"why do you like it?"

"Because Uncle gave Qi Rui the pony and Bell."

"You like him because he gave you something?"

"correct."

Zhao Xiyan smiled, the child's world is really pure, I like him because I gave him something.Qi Rui was thinking, as if she forgot what she hadn't said.After thinking for a while, I remembered.Qi Rui hugged Zhao Xiyan's neck, leaned on his shoulders and said.

"Qi Rui still likes Father the most."

"why?"

"Because Father loves Qi Rui the most."

"Didn't you say you liked the little sister the most two days ago? And when you ate cakes in Weiyang Palace a few days ago, didn't you say that you liked Niang Niangniang the most?"

Qi Rui was a little embarrassed, as if he really said it, he scratched his head and said something.

"like it all!"

Zhao Xiyan hugged him and laughed all the way, this kid is such a little treasure, whoever likes him very much.Zhao Xiyan was in a good mood, who told Qi Rui to coax him so happily, and carried him all the way back to Weiyang Palace.At this moment in Weiyang Palace, Zhao Muning was pulling weeds in the yard, making the sleeves of his trousers dirty.Zhao Xiyan put Qi Rui on the ground, and Qi Rui excitedly ran to Zhao Muning to pull weeds together, chattering endlessly.Zhao Xiyan really couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly went to find Xia Shuning to come out and treat her daughter.Zhao Muning was doted on by Zhao Xiyan, and Zhao Xiyan would not listen to her words, only Xia Shuning would give in when she pretended to be angry.Zhao Xiyan entered the bedroom and saw Xia Shuning coaxing the crying Zhao Qichao. Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning reported their daughter and took over Zhao Qichao from Xia Shuning.Xia Shuning shook her head and went out to find Zhao Muning. Zhao Xiyan hugged the little Qi Chao and gently coaxed her.Zhao Xiyan is very good at coaxing children. When Zhao Muning was born, he was good at coaxing children to change their diapers and feed them.It is not difficult to lead Qi Chao now, he whistled, it was a tune he learned from the tea village, soon Qi Chao stopped crying, and looked at Zhao Xiyan with a small smile.Zhao Xiyan teased him, and he knew how to grin.Soon Zhao Muning was brought back by Xia Shuning to change clothes, and even brought Qi Rui back to change clothes.Zhao Muning was reprimanded by Xia Shuning, and his mouth puckered up.After changing the clothes, Zhao Xiyan returned the coaxed child to Xia Shuning, Xia Shuning gave Zhao Xiyan a reproachful look.He clearly saw two children pulling weeds and playing in the mud outside, so why didn't he know how to teach them.Zhao Xiyan met her eyes and laughed, then Zhao Xiyan picked up his little princess, put it on his lap, and coaxed her carefully.What a gentle person Xia Shuning is, she doesn't know how to scold Zhao Muning, but just patiently say a few words, this little guy is too spoiled to say anything.
