Chapter 358 Mission 23: General's Orphan 29

Later, he served under Han Shichang, the great general who defended the country. Shortly after Han Shichang's death, he served as military advisor to Han Weizhong, a figure whose bond between master and servant was deep. From the age of twenty to his present age as an elderly man, he has spent his entire life with the Han family. This is a testament to the gratitude of a mentor, the bond between master and servant, and the desire to support the young.

Wen Wan talked to him a lot, and last night she gave Mr. Gongsun a storage bag.

Mr. Gongsun has been preparing for his retreat this morning, which has given him infinite hope. Although Mr. Gongsun is over seventy years old, his ambitions are still unfulfilled.

After giving them storage bags, Wen Wan gave each of her three sons a magic weapon.

Han Siwei hesitated for a long time, "Mother, the Queen Mother wants to see my brother and me, should we go or not?"

"You can go if you want."

"Grandpa Gongsun said that since we've received the reward, we should go to the palace to express our gratitude, but..."

"The Queen Mother is your grandmother. Older people like to see the younger generation. Talk to her and comfort her. Call her "Grandmother" or "Grandma" more often. If she is happy, you will be happy too. When things happen, we must learn to face them calmly. Whether it is good or bad, we must accept it bravely.

Monks cultivate their minds and practice Taoism, standing between heaven and earth, without any regrets in their consciences or towards others.

Confucianists take the world as their responsibility and shoulder the responsibility of its rise and fall; martial artists stabilize the country and protect the safety of all families.

When the people are at peace, the whole country is at peace.

You have your own path to walk. Mother cannot accompany you for your whole life. One day she will ascend to heaven and leave. But you brothers can be loyal to each other, support each other, and face the future together.

You should discuss things together. Dabao is overthinking and always worried about not doing things right, but you can actually talk it out. Erbao is a bit whimsical and quick-witted, so just talk about it whenever you have something to say. This is both your strength and weakness. I trust Sanbao the most. He's got a quick mind and has been smarter than your older brothers since he was little. He sees things most clearly, but he's too good at analyzing the pros and cons, so it's hard for him to make true friends."

"Mom, my eldest brother and I are Sanbao's friends. The three of us brothers regard each other as best friends." Han Siwei said.

Wen Wan glanced at him and said, "Alright, you can go back now. We in the Han family have never had so many complicated rules. As I said before, if there's a girl you like, remember to tell me. It's not about the number of women, but the compatibility of the women you like. If you like one I don't like, that's fine. As long as you like each other and get married, you can move out of the mansion and live somewhere else. You can see each other less than once or twice a month. Out of sight, out of mind."

"What is mother saying? If you don't like her, we won't marry her. Let's find someone we like and she likes. If we can't find one in a year, then we can take two years. We will eventually find one we both like." Han Siqi coaxed Wen Wan with a smile.

Wen Wan said, "Don't let love cloud your mind. People must have morals and bottom lines. Otherwise, if you lose these bottom lines, you will be controlled by blind love and lose yourself. This is the biggest taboo for cultivators, and it will only disrupt your Dao heart..."

The three children listened to her talk for a while and then came out of Zhengqi Hall.

Han Siyuan said slowly: "I don't want to enter the palace. When Grandma Lian heard that we were recognizing each other as relatives, she was so sad that she cried. Mother..." He was worried that Wen Wan was hiding in the dark and wiping her tears because of their recognition of each other.

Han Siqi said, "Mother is not an ordinary woman."

Because she saw her mother talking to Mr. Gongsun last night, and he asked her, "You must have felt very sad when something happened back then."

Wen Wan smiled and asked back, "If it was Mother who slept with them, then Mother would have taken advantage of them. I have three sons. If they want to recognize them, they have to look at my face. It's not me who looks at their faces. I'm not sad! I chose a good father for my sons. Prince Ning and Prince Xian are both handsome now, and they were very good-looking when they were young..."

Han Siqi felt that maybe his mother did it on purpose, or maybe she was trying to comfort her.

"It's not that they don't want to take responsibility, it's that I don't need them to. Back then, whenever Nanny Lian and Mr. Gongsun wrote to Border Town, they always asked me if I had found a good husband and when they could have a grandson. It's so wonderful to be able to have a son without getting married and not have to worry about someone snatching him away...."

His mother wasn't sad at all; she even felt like she'd gotten a great bargain.

Han Siqi had suspected it earlier, but now it is confirmed.

Only the eldest and second brothers foolishly thought that life was really not easy for their mother.

Looking at her mother's appearance, she is so carefree that even men are not as good as her. She looks like nothing has happened at all.

She doesn't care about what people say or what the world thinks. Anyway, she has done her best for the ancestors of the Han family because she has three outstanding sons.

Who in the whole capital doesn't say that the three young masters of the Han family are outstanding, both civil and military. A fifteen-year-old bachelor and a fifteen-year-old martial king, wow, how amazing.

Han Siqi went to the virtuous king's house to pay a visit to the old prince and the old princess.

Han Siyuan and Han Siwei entered the palace to see the Queen Mother.

When the three brothers came back, the old wise king and the old princess gave them several carts of gifts to take back. When they were about to leave, the old princess almost wanted to follow Han Siqi.

Han Siwei was even more powerful. He coaxed the empress dowager into calling him "good grandson" all the time. Princess Furui, who used to be favored by the emperor, no longer called him "good grandson" anymore. She only called him "good grandson". Whenever she had something good, she would call her good grandson.

Han Siwei went to the Western Suburbs Camp to respond to a mission. Sometimes he would come back in an hour, and sometimes he would stay in the Western Suburbs Camp's martial arts training ground for most of the day before returning.

Han Siyuan is aloof and the Queen Mother cannot get close to him.

But Han Siwei was simple-minded, so the empress dowager liked him. As time went by, she called Han Siwei to the palace for meals almost every day. If the palace servants did not take Han Siwei with them, the empress dowager would refuse to eat. So the palace servants waited outside the Council Hall every day, and as soon as the court meetings were over, they would take Han Siwei to the Cining Palace for meals.

The Queen Mother felt happy watching Han Siwei eat, and asked the imperial kitchen to prepare delicious food for her precious grandson. She also asked the maids and palace servants to write down his favorite foods. In less than a month, Han Siwei's face became much rounder than Han Siyuan's.

Han Siqi teased: "Now it's easy to tell the eldest brother from the second brother. The one with the round face is the second brother, and the one with the oval face is the eldest brother, haha..."

When people get along with each other for a long time, they tend to develop feelings for each other.

The Queen Mother liked Han Siwei, and Han Siwei also felt that the Queen Mother was a really good grandmother who loved him the most. He felt a different kind of grandparent-grandchild relationship from the Queen Mother.

Then the Queen Mother began to talk about how much Prince Ning liked Wen Wan in the past, and how he was left out after marrying Princess Ning, and treated Princess Ning as a female official in Prince Ning's mansion. Until now, Prince Ning Yuwen Xin still has Wen Wan in his heart.

Han Siwei was unhappy when he heard it for the first time, but the empress dowager stopped while she was ahead.

By the second time, she seemed to have accepted that "my biological father might not be pregnant", and then "my father actually likes my mother very much".

Then he went back to the house and consulted with Han Siyuan: "Brother, how about we stay with Father and Mother?"

Han Siyuan's eyes were dangerous, and his third brother's words came true: "Brother, I think the second brother might rebel!" The Queen Mother used a sugar-coated poison arrow without realizing it, first corrupting him with benefits, and then revealing the poison in the end.
