Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2026

Since the future emperor was to marry the daughter of the Wei family, she had to be sincere. She came here with the approval of the emperor, and came to explain the whole story.

After hearing this royal secret, Wei Zhongshi and his wife fell into deep silence.

The candlelight flickered gently in the hall, casting a dim and unclear image on Wei Zhongshi's face.

As an important official in the court, he witnessed the disputes in the court every day, and knew that the dethronement of Emperor Zhaowu was not as simple as "madness".

But he never expected that there were such thrilling twists and turns behind this. He also never expected that Tang Chujun almost died.

Mother Wei turned pale with fear. "Please, Bodhisattva, protect my in-laws and keep them safe! Never let them suffer any more misfortune!"

Seeing this, Shi Anxia gently held Mother Wei's cold hand and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Wei, my mother is fine now."

Wei Zhongshi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Whose idea was it for His Highness the Ninth Prince to marry Pingting?"

Shi Anxia said calmly and frankly, "This is the Ninth Prince's own wish, and it is also the result of my many considerations. Once the Ninth Prince ascends the throne, Pingting will be appointed as the queen. I watched Pingting grow up, and she was brought up in the upright family tradition of the Wei Mansion. She will surely be able to be the queen mother of my Northern Wing."

This is an exaggeration.

To put it simply, "Both children are young, but they get along well. The Ninth Prince's marriage is imminent. If he marries someone else in a hurry, I'm worried that this will become a regret for their whole lives."

What this means is that this is also in response to Wei Pingting's own wishes, and it is not a forced marriage.

Mrs. Wei's knuckles turned white as she pinched the handkerchief, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She naturally trusted Shi Anxia, but the soft maternal love in her heart was twisted and painful, "Princess, you are also a woman, you should understand the heart of a mother. My Pingting even wears her hair in a double bun, how come..."

Shi Anxia held Mrs. Wei's trembling hand again, and it felt cold.

She slowed down her voice and said word by word, "Aunt Wei, His Majesty the Ninth Prince promised that he would not violate etiquette before Pingting reaches the age of marriage. If Pingting does not want to stay in the palace three years later, he will send her off with the courtesy of a prince, grant her the three most prosperous states in Jiangnan as Tangmu County, and allow her to come and go as freely as a lark, and ensure that she will have no worries in her life."

This was already a very heavy promise, especially since it was made in front of Shi Anxia, ​​and it could not be made lightly.

"Are you serious?" Wei Zhongshi suddenly spoke, his voice a little hoarse, "Your Highness, are you really willing to make such a promise?"

He gave steps.

He was not interested in promises, nor did he care about wealth and glory. But at this moment, he suddenly realized that his young daughter, who had not yet grown up, could protect the mountains and rivers of the North Wing in another way.

He is proud of it.

In one's life, one can either go by in a light boat or be the mainstay.

It is a blessing that all the children of the Wei family can contribute to the prosperity of the Northern Wing.

Every word the princess said was very important. "If His Highness the Ninth Prince does not keep his promise, I, An Xia, will protect Ping Ting with my own life."

In this way, the marriage between Xiao Jiu and Wei Pingting was settled.

That night, Wei Zhongshi and his wife couldn't sleep again.

"Alas," Madam Wei sighed, "Even if His Highness the Ninth Prince kept his promise and allowed Pingting to leave the palace, she would still...become a divorced woman for no apparent reason."

Wei Zhongshi said seriously, "You can't think like that. Just treat her like your son went to the battlefield once, and it's a blessing that he came back alive."

Madam Wei couldn't lie down any longer, so she sat up. "Your realm is getting higher and higher now. I don't have your level of awareness." She paused and sighed, "I just believed the princess. What she thought was right must be right... But, alas, alas, alas..."

The night was long and filled with sighs.
