Chapter 189 Marriage Decree
Chapter 189 Marriage Decree
Yuan Chunwang's face changed slightly. He didn't expect Qingyun to know this secret. He did have a plum blossom birthmark on his arm, and he always thought it was a symbol of his status as a prince.
Seeing his reaction, Qingyun became more certain of her guess. She said excitedly, "I finally found you, brother!", with joy flashing in her eyes.
Sure enough, being with Yingluo will definitely bring good luck! Qingyun secretly sighed in his heart.
She, Yingluo, Zhang Jianyi, Mingyu and others had searched almost the entire Forbidden City but couldn't find him. Now she finally found him.
Although Yuan Chunwang appears indifferent, Qingyun believes that the family love between them will overcome all difficulties.
Yuan Chunwang was stunned. He did have a plum blossom birthmark on the inside of his arm, but he had never told anyone about this, not even Wei Yingluo...and this palace maid actually knew about it.
"Impossible, this is impossible!" He covered his ears, his eyes fierce, and accused loudly, "If you are my sister, who are my parents? Why did you throw me to my adoptive mother?"
In Yuan Chunwang's mind, it was a painful memory.
"Dad!" Yuan Chunwang, who was only nine years old, cried out at the top of his lungs, "Please don't abandon me!"
On that seemingly endless road, there was a crowd of refugees that also had no end in sight.
Looking around, the earth was all withered and yellow, without a single trace of green life. Even the grass roots buried deep in the soil were dug out by hungry people to fill their stomachs.
When hunger reaches its extreme, people become like animals. Several refugees with pale faces, thin bodies, and staggering bodies slowly walked towards Yuan Chunwang, with saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths.
Yuan Chunwang looked at these people in horror, but he was so hungry that he had no strength left and could only retreat back desperately, crying and shouting, hoping that his father would come back to save him.
It is a pity that his father had long disappeared in the vast crowd, leaving him alone.
A skinny woman suddenly rushed out from behind them, picked him up and ran away.
"Mom!" Yuan Chunwang hugged the woman's neck tightly and burst into tears.
"Stupid woman! Why did you bring him back again?" A man who was also skinny and bony sighed, his face full of helplessness and fatigue.
"We can barely survive ourselves, how can we care about him?" The man continued to complain, his tone filled with despair for life.
In the end, the man finally made up his mind to abandon them both and left alone, while the woman held him tightly, stumbling and struggling forward.
After going through untold hardships, they finally arrived in the capital.
Unfortunately, however, the woman fell ill and her health deteriorated.
When she was dying, the woman held Yuan Chunwang's hand tightly and said weakly: "After I die, you must go find your biological father."
Yuan Chunwang was stunned, his eyes full of confusion and surprise. "Dad?"
The woman murmured to herself. "I am not your biological mother either. Back then, Emperor Yongzheng was being hunted down and hid in a farmer's home. I gave birth to you with the daughter of that family. Child, you are a prince!"
Yuan Chunwang's eyes widened, his face full of shock.
"It's a pity that your mother had such an unfortunate fate. After Emperor Yongzheng returned, he never sent anyone to look for her. How could she, a weak woman with a child, marry again? She had no choice but to give you to me."
The woman tremblingly took out a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads from her bosom and slowly put the bracelet on Yuan Chunwang's wrist.
"You must take this with you and go find your biological father..."
Before she could finish her words, her hands dropped heavily.
"Mom!" Yuan Chunwang pushed her hard, but she didn't move. No matter how Yuan Chunwang cried and shouted, she never opened her eyes again.
The young boy used his small hands to dig the pit with great difficulty. Although his hands were worn and bleeding, he still did not give up.
Finally, he dug a hole and carefully buried his adoptive mother in it.
After completing all this, he slowly walked into the gate of the Forbidden City with his bloody hands hanging down.
After going through numerous hardships, he finally found a well-dressed nobleman who agreed to send him into the palace.
However, he did not expect that the man was the Eighth Prince who had been holding a grudge against Yongzheng since his failure in the fight for the throne.
When he found out that this might be Yongzheng's illegitimate son who was abandoned among the people, for some dark reason he actually sent this nine-year-old child to the cleansing room.
With a flick of his hand and a stroke of his knife, Yuan Chunwang became a little eunuch.
His current belief is to take revenge on these princes, so how could he have a younger sister?
On the other hand, the emperor's imperial edict granting marriage and raising the flag was delivered to Wei's mansion in a mighty manner.
Wei Qingtai was almost going crazy with joy, and other people from the clan came to congratulate him.
Those who used to laugh at Wei Qingtai for not having a son are now extremely jealous of his two daughters.
One who had won the favor of the noble Fucha family of the upper three banners and was about to marry the younger brother of Empress Fucha, and brought her entire family with her to raise the banner, so that her descendants would no longer have to enter the palace as slaves.
The other one is going to marry the youngest number one scholar in the dynasty next year, which is really like smoke coming out of her ancestral grave.
"Brother Wei, I'm sorry, but this is a gift I brought to celebrate your arrival."
"Qingtai, the clan leader has watched you grow up since you were a child..."
"I've liked these two girls since I was a kid, and now they're really outstanding!"
Aunts and uncles from all over the place showed up with praises. Wei Qingtai smiled from ear to ear, thanked them repeatedly, and was busy greeting the guests, his heart filled with joy.
"Congratulations, Master Wei! Congratulations, Master Wei! Your daughter is so lucky!"
"Yes, yes, from now on the Wei family will be royal relatives!"
"Master Wei, you really teach your daughter well!"
Everyone praised Wei Qingtai and his daughters, which made them feel extremely proud and satisfied. The news quickly spread throughout the capital, and people envied the glory of the Wei family.
Wei Yingning, however, didn't care about these hypocritical blessings and flattery. She locked herself in the room and embroidered a gorgeous wedding dress stitch by stitch, as if the noise from the outside world could not affect her.
However, this wedding dress was not embroidered for her. It had already been prepared by Aunt Zhou, her future mother-in-law, and would be delivered by Zhou Yi soon.
Wei Yingning looked at the wedding dress in her hands intently, her heart filled with anticipation and happiness.
Although she was an experienced embroiderer, her hands were inevitably injured during the embroidery process, with wounds of varying sizes.
However, she didn't care about it at all, and she was only thinking about embroidering a unique wedding dress for her sister. Every stitch and every thread was filled with her deep blessing and love for her sister.
