Just three days after Madam Chen left, news came from the palace again. The Queen personally selected the candidate and, after choosing an auspicious day, she would adopt a daughter for Ming Yuyou.
The plans of the Second Old Master and others, who had originally made a good plan, were instantly dashed and they were dumbfounded.
But they also knew that it was not Old Lady Wei's fault. The Queen's edict had clearly stated that the Imperial Observatory had calculated that Princess Zheng was destined to be childless. If they adopted a son, it would be a conflict of opinion. It would easily disturb the souls in the underworld and the living would be easily implicated and suffer unexpected consequences.
So a daughter was adopted for Ming Yuyou, and the candidates for the empress were decided. It was calculated that Wei An and Ming Yuyou were destined to be together. Since Ming Yuyou's child was born at the same time as Wei An, Wei An was chosen.
When the news came out, the Third Lady and the Third Master looked at each other in shock.
What was originally impossible turned out to be possible.
Old Madam Wei... ...it has been so long, her personality is not one that will tolerate any sand in the sand. Before, the second old master and the third old master ignored and separated the family when the Wei family was in such a difficult time, and now they have such an idea. They felt that it was not right that Old Madam Wei allowed them to come and gave them so many benefits, and even condoned them.
Now that the incident has happened, I have guessed a little bit.
Old Madam Wei did not hide it from them. She glanced at them and nodded: "It's all within expectations."
Emperor Longqing would not really want the child of the Wei family to be adopted by Prince Zheng as his son - otherwise Prince Zheng would really have a son, wouldn't he
Moreover, since he has a son with his original wife, Princess Zheng, if Prince Zheng really cannot have a son in the future, should he be given the title of Crown Prince or not
If they don’t give it, it would be unreasonable, but if they give it, wouldn’t the Wei family be getting a huge advantage
The title is already there, and there are three Jinshi in the family, all of whom are officials, and there is also a king
Then if he thinks of the injustices at home in the future and what he will do next, who can say for sure
And since it's not for a son, a daughter would be more suitable.
The selection of a girl was much simpler. The Queen naturally thought that she should do whatever she could to disgrace Ming Yuyou.
Wei An, who was born with Ming Yuyou's daughter Tongtian and survived, has a not-so-glorious background. After much thought, he is the most suitable person.
Old Mrs. Wei had calculated these people's reactions accurately.
The Third Master and the Third Lady had nothing to say. Wei An's life experience had been completely blurred and not even a trace could be found. It was a good thing that she could become the daughter of King Zheng again.
The Third Lady thought about it and asked Old Lady Wei, "Since Xiao Qi has been chosen, will Xiao Qi be raised in the palace... or will he stay in our house as usual?"
As they were talking, a little maid came to report that the Fifth Master had arrived.
Wei Yangqing also came for this matter.
He couldn't tell whether he was more happy or upset, so he looked at Old Madam Wei and asked, "So, are you going to the palace from now on?"
He lost his own daughter, and he still didn't know how the Queen dealt with Princess Zhennan and Wei Yulong. However, Wei An, who had always thought that his origins would never be revealed in this lifetime, was able to openly recognize his biological father again. He always felt that there was something weird in his heart.
Old Madam Wei glanced at him and sneered, "You are adopted by Yu You, do you really think you are such a big shot? Since the decree doesn't say so, you should just keep him in our house."
Empress Fang also had the same idea: "This matter is just to make the name sound better and make the living feel better. If it is made too big, it will be bad and make people's families restless."
Emperor Longqing raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of sarcasm.
Apparently, he had heard a lot about the Wei family's recent affairs.
Queen Fang touched her belly and laughed again: "After all, this Wei Qi and Sister Ming are really destined to be together, which is great. But I was thinking that there is no mistress in the Zheng Palace, so why not keep him in the Wei family?"
She paused, then said, "Old Madam Wei is not really willing to let go of what happened in the past. By making this request, she is clearly embarrassing Prince Zheng. She will not really agree to give Prince Zheng a child to raise. Isn't she worried too?"
Emperor Longqing did not answer.
Since he didn't answer, Queen Fang knew that he agreed. She leaned back on the soft white cushion and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, the hardship has paid off. It's time for their family to have a good life."
The next day, Emperor Longqing brought Prince Zheng to him and told him about this matter.
King Zheng was silent for a long time. He seemed to be dissatisfied, but he did not dare to show his dissatisfaction. After a long time, he responded with "I understand."
Emperor Longqing frowned and said, "What does it mean to know? This is not something that can be done just because you know it. Since it is agreed to be adopted, it should be done openly. At the very least, you have to give her the title of a princess or something..."
King Zheng was somewhat unhappy: "It's not like they are really my brother's biological children, so there's no need for all this, right?"
Emperor Longqing raised his eyebrows and stared at him coldly. Seeing that he was silent, he softened his tone: "I told you before, why are you angry again? She's just a girl. At most, she will be given a dowry in the future. How much effort can it take from you? It will make your reputation better. Pick a good day and come to my house, acknowledge this daughter as yours, and give her more gifts. Don't be stingy with those gifts. Save your own face first!"
King Zheng lowered his head and slowly responded, "Yes."
Emperor Longqing's expression eased slightly, and after a pause he continued, "Do you plan to raise this child yourself, or..."
Prince Zheng waved his hands quickly and said, "I won't keep her. There are many beautiful girls in my palace. I won't be able to control them if they start to make trouble." He then asked Emperor Longqing hesitantly, "Did you really pick a girl? Who will get lucky?"
Emperor Longqing was a little confused by his words and almost laughed. After a long while, he snorted and said unhappily, "What do you mean by who got a good deal? It was the seventh child in the fifth room who picked her after much searching. She is just the right age. You know in your heart that you are being unfair to Yu You. Picking someone who has the same birthday as her daughter is also a consolation to her."
King Zheng had a bitter face and it was clear that he was not very willing, but he still agreed.
After he returned, he had a different expression. He went to the backyard with a solemn expression. Now the spirit tablet of Ming Yuyou could be officially placed out. It was the Queen who reminded him to do it. He sat under the spirit tablet of Ming Yuyou and sat there for the whole day.
After he came out, he ordered people to open the warehouse - all of Ming Yuyou's dowry was still sealed in the warehouse and had not been moved.
These things should have originally belonged to Wei An.
Now, he could finally return everything Wei An deserved in broad daylight, and he was very happy.
Just as he finished giving the instructions, Goldman Sachs came in and said that someone outside wanted him to go out for a while.
