Blessed Daughter

On the day of Laba, good news came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The Taizhou Prefecture Anti-Japanese Army led by Wei Mingting fought a beautiful counterattack.

This battle was fought more vigorously and happily than every previous battle. The warships built under the supervision of King Qin played an important role in this battle.

The anti-Japanese army led by Wei Mingting took advantage of the newly built warships and sank more than half of the Japanese pirates' ships, directly driving them away and leaving them without a chance to land ashore.

This time, due to limited time, there were three warships, and each warship was barely equipped with four divine cannons. This was able to achieve such a great effect.

It would be better if the Ministry of Industry was given more time.

At that time, let alone directly intercepting the Japanese pirates at sea and beating them back to their hometown, it is also possible to chase them to the Japanese country.

The news of this great victory seemed like a ray of dawn shining into the dark clouds hanging over the Daye Empire, dispersing the long-standing haze.

The Emperor Long Yan was overjoyed, and everyone in the court celebrated it.

The emperor was very happy and ordered to reward Wei Mingting and other soldiers who had made great achievements in war.

Among them, Wei Mingting was promoted to deputy staff general and became general Guangwei.

Xu Zhengyong's official position remained unchanged, but his title was promoted to General Zhaowu.

And both of them received generous rewards.

The emperor also gave special permission for some of the anti-Japanese army officers to go home to visit relatives. Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong both got the permission. Their time was staggered. Wei Mingting could go home to celebrate the New Year, but Xu Zhengyong had to wait until after the new year.

This promotion made Wei Mingting the fastest-promoted general in recent years, and his momentum was close to that of Mrs. Lu and Mr. Xu Guogong.

In addition, Wei Yichen and Wei Ruo are both influential figures in the capital recently.

For a time, the Wei family was in the limelight and became the new rich in the capital.

In comparison, the impact of the downfall of the Qi family on the Zhongyi family was minimal, because the people who had contact with the Qi family were the eldest and second eldest members of the Wei family, and the person who is now deeply favored by the emperor is the third eldest brother of the Wei family.

People in the Wei family who were unable to see him at first are now sending greeting cards to Mr. Wei.

The Marquis of Xuanping, who had an engagement with Wei Ruo before, but it was eventually cancelled, also sent people to give gifts and congratulate her, clearly trying to please the Wei family.

The favor of the Wei family made King Yu Chu Heng regain his attention to Wei Qingwan.

On the night when the emperor issued an order to promote Wei Mingting, King Yu Chuheng stayed at Cuitingxuan for the first time and favored Wei Qingwan.

Wei Qingwan never thought that one day she would be favored by Prince Yu again.

Wei Qingwan's heart was as sweet as honey.

Regardless of whether King Yu still has a chance to become the crown prince, he is at least a prince.

If she can be favored by the prince, she will always be in a good situation, just like the current Princess Huai, who is admired by everyone.

Wei Qingwan, her face glowing red, asked Cui He to help her dress up.

Qi Shijing walked in without being informed.

Seeing this, Wei Qingwan stood up and said hello: "My sister has met the princess sister."

"Sister, you worked hard yesterday. Please drink this bowl of medicine to replenish your health." Qi Shijing said to Wei Qingwan with a smile.

Wei Qingwan looked suspicious, glanced at the dark medicine in the hand of the maid next to Qi Shijing, frowned and said, "Thank you, Princess, for leaving the medicine here for now. My sister will take it later."

"I'm afraid it's best to drink this medicine while it's hot." Qi Shijing said.

"Sister, is this really a tonic?" Wei Qingwan asked.

"Sister, just drink it as a tonic."

"Sister, sister wants to hear the truth."

"In that case, it doesn't matter if I tell you directly." Qi Shijing replied, "This is indeed not a tonic, but a Bizi Decoction."

Hearing this, Wei Qingwan's expression turned cold, and then she firmly refused: "I'm sorry, my sister can't drink this medicine."

"Sister, what do you mean by this? Have you forgotten the rules in the palace? While I have not yet given birth to an heir, the rest of the family cannot be pregnant."

This is the first time Qi Shijing calls herself "my wife" to Wei Qingwan.

Wei Qingwan did not flinch because of this: "Sister, I'm sorry, I know you will blame me, but if I really want to do something for the prince."

Qi Shijing's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Wei Qingwan, I treated you well when you first entered the palace. Is this how you repay me now?"

"Sister, I don't dare. I still respect you in my heart. It's just that the prince still needs to decide on the issue of heirs. If the prince wants me to drink this child-avoiding soup, I will have nothing to say." Wei Qingwan replied.

Seeing Wei Qingwan's appearance, Qi Shijing smiled: "I really didn't realize it at first, but you still have such thoughts. I really underestimated you."

"I don't dare." Wei Qingwan lowered her head, looking obedient and obedient.

"You have to drink this Bizi soup today no matter what!" Qi Shijing ordered Tingxue to take action, grab Wei Qingwan, and feed her the medicine directly.

Wei Qingwan resisted vigorously, and Cui He also stepped forward to help.

However, Qi Shijing led more people and quickly subdued Wei Qingwan and Cui He.

Just when Qi Shijing was about to give Wei Qingwan medicine, Chu Heng arrived after hearing the news.

"What are you doing?" Chu Heng looked angry.

"Cousin, according to the rules of the palace, after Concubine Wei went to bed last night, she should take Bizi Decoction today." Qi Shijing replied.

Chu Heng looked at Wei Qingwan and saw that her eyes were red, her pear blossoms were wet with rain, and she looked very endearing.

She looked at Chu Heng with eyes full of grievance.

Chu Heng said: "The rules of the palace do not allow concubines to become pregnant before you. Wanwan is a concubine and has a different status. This rule does not apply to her."

Qi Shijing was stunned for a moment, and finally saw her current situation clearly in Chu Heng's cold eyes.

That's right, the Qi family has collapsed, and she can no longer help her cousin.

Wei Qingwan is just the opposite. The Wei family is now on the rise, and her father and brother are the upstarts in the court.

Qi Shijing was thinking and saw Chu Heng hugging Wei Qingwan into his arms and comforting her softly.

Qi Shijing's face was as white as paper as she watched the two of them walk into the inner room together.

Qi Shijing had no choice but to leave Cuitingxuan with her people.

After that, Chu Heng arranged for several maids to be given to Wei Qingwan for her to use.

Suddenly, the situation of Wei Qingwan and Qi Shijing in Prince Yu's Mansion changed 180 degrees.

The servants of the palace, who took advantage of the situation, began to fawn over Wei Qingwan, but instead ignored Qi Shijing.

This made Wei Qingwan suddenly wake up. She had always thought about climbing up on her own, but in fact, a woman still needed the support of her mother's family to stand firm in the house.

"Cuihe, prepare gifts and let's go back to the Wei family." Wei Qingwan decided.

"When will Miss go? Can I go and inform the uncle's house first?"

"No need, I don't need to go to my parents' house so much trouble."

After Wei Qingwan finished speaking, she urged Cui He and Nanny Li to prepare the ceremony.

Then he immediately set off to Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion.
