Chapter 163 Cannon Fodder Substitute 12
Yuan Wei looked down and saw a few people standing below, looking up at her.
Yuan Wei sat down again, swung her legs leisurely, and opened the fan again to fan herself. The word "I am" was written in big letters on the fan.
"Didn't we say to climb high and see far? I'm looking far away." Yuan Wei blinked and looked at everyone with an innocent face.
"Oh? What did you see?" a middle-aged man asked softly with interest.
"Yes, it's a peaceful and prosperous era." Yuan Wei nodded seriously and said in a firm tone.
"Hahaha, is that so?" When the middle-aged man heard the answer, he couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh out loud. His laughter was hearty and loud.
"How did you get up there? Come down quickly." A tall-looking man behind the middle-aged man said in a muffled voice.
This wall belongs to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, so this kid should also be from Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.
Duan Yiqi had received favors from the old marquis, and at this moment he did not want Yuan Wei's behavior to make the emperor dislike Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion.
After all, standing on a high place and looking down at the emperor is disrespectful to him, even if Yuan Wei is just an ignorant child.
Yuan Wei rolled her eyes and said to the tall man with a smile, "If you tell me to go down, I'll go down. That would be so embarrassing. Otherwise, why don't you come up and pick me up?"
The tall man frowned, seeming a little dissatisfied with Yuan Wei's attitude, but still took two steps forward, ready to go forward and bring Yuan Wei down.
At this moment, the middle-aged man, the current emperor, glanced at Duan Yiqi.
Duan Yiqi was so frightened by the emperor's eyes that he lowered his head, not even daring to breathe, let alone go forward to bring Yuan Wei down.
Seeing this, the eldest prince, after receiving a signal from his father, approached the wall, a gentle smile on his face, and said softly to Yuan Wei: "Jump down, I'll catch you."
Yuan Wei looked down at him, her lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile, "No, just move away, I'll come down by myself."
The eldest prince hesitated for a moment, but still took two steps back as instructed.
Before he could gain his footing, he saw Yuan Wei jump down from the wall without hesitation.
This action surprised him and he subconsciously stepped forward to catch Yuan Wei.
But Yuan Wei had already landed as lightly as a feather and stood steadily in front of him.
The eldest prince widened his eyes and looked up at the wall again in disbelief.
Was he mistaken? Was the wall not actually that high?
After Yuan Wei stood firm, she bowed to everyone and said in a clear voice, "Thank you all for your concern. I am fine."
"Well, well, you're a good boy." The emperor asked with a smile, "But are you the son of Marquis Weiyuan?"
Yuan Wei looked at him curiously and bowed again, "Yes, uncle, I am Yuan Wei."
"Uncle? Yes, I am your uncle." The emperor acknowledged her address with a smile.
If I don’t call you uncle, should I call you emperor?
Yuan Wei complained in her heart, doesn’t that mean I still have to bow?
But she shouldn't know the emperor now.
It was only when Yuan Wei saw the Third Prince that she realized that the person standing in front of the Third Prince and asking him to respect him should be the current emperor.
The person who was about to pick her up should be the emperor's eldest son, the eldest prince.
Duan Yiqi looked at Yuan Wei in surprise. This kid was quite lucky. The saint actually acknowledged him as uncle.
"But do you want to go out and play?" the emperor asked.
"Yes, it's boring to stay in the house. Besides, my father is not at home today, and he doesn't let me out..." Yuan Wei looked very embarrassed, and her ears began to turn red.
"So where do you want to go now that you're out there?"
Yuan Wei looked at him in surprise when she heard this.
No, is the emperor so idle?
Do you have to control where she goes to play?
Yuan Wei said helplessly, "I haven't been to a teahouse to listen to stories for a long time."
The emperor closed the fan in his hand, his eyes revealing a hint of curiosity and expectation, and gestured to Yuan Wei to lead the way.
He wanted to see what kind of storytelling could make this kid so fascinated that he would even climb over the wall to listen?
Yuan Wei looked at the smiling people in front of her and knew in her heart that she could not get rid of them today.
Yuan Wei didn't hesitate and walked ahead calmly, leading them to the teahouse.
Along the way, everyone intentionally or unintentionally surrounded the emperor, as if protecting him.
Yuan Wei pretended not to know and continued to lead the way leisurely.
After walking for a while, the originally quiet alley suddenly became lively.
When everyone approached and looked up, they saw a plaque on the teahouse with the word "Tea House" prominently written on it.
The emperor looked at the plaque, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said softly: "This is quite interesting."
Yuan Wei responded with a smile: "The stories inside are more interesting! I just didn't expect that after not being here for a while, the outside has become lively."
The Third Prince looked at the "handsome guy" on Yuan Wei's fan and said with a smile:
"What's so strange about this? If the storytellers there are really as good as you say, then it will naturally attract more people to come and listen to the stories."
"With more people, these vendors saw business opportunities and flocked here."
The third prince glanced at the fan in Yuan Wei's hand and laughed in his heart.
He continued, "People in the world pursue profit. This is the way the world is."
I don’t know why this guy is so conceited. Although I don’t know what the word “handsome guy” means, I think he is bragging.
I am handsome.
That's not self-deprecation, is it?
His Majesty smiled and nodded, saying, "Third Master, you are right."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the teahouse.
Yuan Wei led the way skillfully, and when they reached the second floor, they entered the private room that she had taken Yuan Guangyi to last time.
Ever since the teahouse's business has been getting better and better, Yuan Wei has specially asked people to preserve this private room, which is usually not open to the public.
When they entered the box, the storytelling was already halfway through.
But even so, everyone was still listening attentively.
The most important thing is that the stories told in this teahouse are things they have never heard of before, and there is something novel in them.
"You said your father is not at home?" The emperor suddenly looked at Yuan Wei and asked.
"Yes, he went out to meet some friends." Yuan Wei replied innocently.
After hearing this, the emperor became thoughtful.
Yuan Wei was not afraid that the emperor would suspect Yuan Guangheng, but she was afraid that he would think Yuan Guangheng was a useful person.
She deliberately revealed that Yuan Guangheng was jumping around during the mourning period.
It’s not that Yuan Guangheng has any ulterior motives, he just wants to take real power after the mourning period.
If he doesn't start planning now, the benefits will be gone by the time the mourning period is over.
But the superiors don’t think so. It would be fine if he didn’t know, but now that the emperor knows that Yuan Guangheng is so impatient, it would be strange if he has a good impression of him.
Yuan Wei just doesn't want Yuan Guangheng to have an easy life, and it would be best if he gets nothing.
Yuan Wei had another consideration in bringing the emperor to this teahouse.
That is my second uncle Yuan Guangyi. Ever since Yuan Guangyi was taken to listen to a book last time, he would come here from time to time to listen to the book.
Yuan Wei wanted to let Yuan Guangyi show off his face in front of the emperor. Isn't it said that a person's feelings for his wife are three times stronger than his real feelings?
Seeing the emperor more often is much more useful than Yuan Guangheng contacting other people.
Just as she was thinking this, Yuan Wei heard Yuan Guangyi's voice outside the door.
"Wei'er, the waiter told me you're here. Are you sneaking away again?"
Yuan Guangyi said as he walked into the box.
The unfinished words suddenly stopped when he saw the people in the box.
