Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Princess, the Marquis of Weiyuan has posted a message asking you to attend in three days." Wen Wan found it strange that the Marquis of Weiyuan didn't have even the slightest connection with him.  Please do something for yourself.

    "The residence of Marquis Weiyuan belongs to Princess Fuling's husband's family. This post was sent to you by the princess." Wen Wan looked at the red and gold invitation with a cold light.  Xia Yu thought for a moment that she had seen it wrong.

    Wen Wan held the tea cup with both hands and looked at the blossoming white plum blossoms above.  What does this Princess Fuling want to do?  I had refused last time, but this time I was treated to a banquet.

    "Let Xia Ying come over." Xia Ying came over and Xia Yu went out.  Stand outside and keep everyone around you away.  She knew what Xia Ying did.

    "Princess Fuling, what kind of person are you?" Wen Wan has not forgotten that Aunt Huang told her back then that Princess Fuling had half of the credit for marrying Ping Xiangxi.  But the strange thing is that in her casual thoughts, Mammy mentioned that Princess Fuling maintained a close relationship with the princess after she got married.  I often come here to see the princess.  Aunt Huang's evaluation of Princess Fuling is that she is thoughtful and sweet.  Befriending the princess is like a weasel paying New Year greetings to a rooster, so he is uneasy and kind-hearted.  But the princess didn't listen to Nanny Huang.  I have always regarded her as my best friend.  After the incident of requesting a concubine, the emperor's grandfather alienated the princess.  The princess didn't take the initiative to go to the palace to confess her mistakes to the emperor's maternal uncle, and her push was definitely indispensable.  There were only two princesses in the capital at that time. If my mother no longer loved her, she would be the only one.

    "Princess Fuling is a very smart and shrewd woman. She was a good friend of the princess during her lifetime." Xia Ying didn't say much, letting Wen Wan make her own judgment.

    "Then she is a person who is good at dancing." Wen Wan lowered her expression.

    "Yes, she was raised under the knee of a virtuous concubine. She is as close as a brother and sister to King Zhao. She is on good terms with all the noble ladies in the capital." Xia Ying's words made Wen Wan secretly think about the deep meaning.

    Wenwan asked her to go down and sit quietly on the beauty chair.

    Xia Ying stood outside, her past contempt gone.  In the past, she looked so gentle and inconsiderate that no one could take care of her, and she wouldn't even give her the respect of her elders.  For example, he said harsh words to Mrs. An, but he never saw her do anything she asked him to do.  He looks like he wants revenge, but he never takes action.  Many things clearly had clues and could be investigated to the end, such as the poisoning incident and the murder of the princess, but she gave up halfway.  Xia Ying knows Wen Wan is smart.  But he is not calm enough. He also likes to listen to gossip and is very childish.  She was also puzzled and even a little aggrieved that the prince gave her, the ace secret guard, to a doll.  Only now do I know.  I really underestimated her.  She didn't get any information herself, but from the two posts, she could figure out who Princess Fuling was.  He also pointed out the focus of this banquet.  Let her put away all her thoughts.  The princess is not as mindless and harmless as she seems on the surface.  He is a deep-minded person who cannot figure out the routine.  He is also a very thoughtful and far-sighted person.

    The princess is not an ordinary person, this is Xia Ying's truest feeling at this time.

    "I accepted the post. Three days later, I'll go there on time." Wen Wan thought about it for a long time.  It is not a problem to always evade when the troops in the future block it and the water comes and the soil submerges.  This woman is definitely not a simple person, maybe she is the link between King Zhao and the important officials in the capital.

    The old lady knew that Wen Wan had received the post from Marquis Weiyuan, so she asked Wen Wan to take Qing Zhao and Qing Shan there.  Wen Wan thought for a while and agreed.  The old lady originally had the attitude of giving it a try, but unexpectedly she agreed this time Wen Wan.  Thinking that since I agreed.  I will naturally take people there when the time comes.

    Three days later, Wen Wan went to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion as a guest.

    When going out, Wen Wan said that she was not used to riding in a carriage with others.  That is to say, she doesn't want anyone to ride with her in the car.  Qing Ci and Qing Hao had to sit in the carriage at the back.  Wen Wan looked at the two people dressed up beautifully, but didn't express any opinions.

    It won¡¯t take a while to walk.  The carriage stopped and Xia Ying said.  Wenwan opened the car curtain and took a look.  In front of the door are two majestic stone beasts, one male and one female. Standing in front of the door are more than a dozen people in gorgeous clothes.  Standing with head held high, from the steps to the door, there is no dust at all.

    ??Entered the house through the side door, got off the carriage, and got on a small oil truck.  It seems that the items inside are all made of brocade, and the embroidery is also embroidered by the famous Lingxian Pavilion in the capital.  Wen Wan's eyes flashed, but she ignored it.  Let someone lift the curtain.

    "Princess, if you lift the curtain, people will laugh." Xia Yu hurriedly stopped her.  If she didn't understand etiquette, she would be laughed at. Her grandmother was born in her hometown and has never seen much of the world.  Seeing Wen Wan's unmoving expression, Xia Ying opened the car curtain and looked at the towering ancient trees planted outside. Wen Wan looked interested.

    The carriage rumbles forward.  Looking at it Wen Wan saw that it was either a rockery or a small bridge flowing over water, with winding paths leading to quiet places, and the layout was also very gorgeous. It was indeed an exquisite and wealthy place.

    "Princess, please get out of the car." Wen Wan got out of the car and looked around, only one thought flashed through her mind.  There are so many people.  Just below the steps, there were about twenty people.

    "Princess, our princess has been waiting for you." A young woman wearing a crimson soft satin dress with a red gold and gemstone hairpin in her hair called out affectionately when she saw Wen Wan.  It seems that Wenwan is very familiar with them.

    Wenwan glanced at her without any expression.  The maid waiting beside her led her into the main hall.  Before reaching the main hall, I heard laughter coming from inside.

    The laughter was crisp, sweet and soft, like water and song, extremely beautiful.

    "Princess, your princess is here." As soon as the young woman's voice fell, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.  As soon as Wen Wan walked in, she saw many pairs of eyes looking at her.  Wen Wan glanced around and saw about seven or eight ladies.

    Wenwan had her hair combed into a bun today, and her bun was surrounded by red golden orchid branches.  A few butterfly beads were pinned to her hair, and her remaining hair was tied into two small braids, tied with a sapphire blue ribbon.  Wearing a dark green cloud-patterned robe with flowers, a pair of red silver pearl pendants hung on her ears, and a golden lock of longevity hung around her neck to send her amulet.  Wearing a pair of silver bracelets with hollow peony patterns on her wrists.  A very cute child.

    Under the gaze of everyone, Wen Wan looked around, looked at everyone with flashing eyes, and walked slowly towards the main position with a happy smile on her face.  The ladies looked at it and were secretly surprised. Facing so many noble ladies, she could still smile happily and not be shy at all.  It has been less than half a year since your princess came back from the countryside.  He actually has such an all-encompassing aura.

    Wenwan looked at the woman sitting on top.  The woman looked to be about twenty-five or six years old. She was dressed in a bright red palace dress embroidered with peonies and gold brocade. She had a peony bun with an eight-winged emerald phoenix hairpin inserted in the middle. On both sides were inserted red gold silk-drawn red phoenix hairpins.  Four pearls sway.  A pair of beautiful oval faces. On this face, the eyebrows are spread out, which is very beautiful.  His whole body exudes the aura of a superior person.  At this time, he was wearing a gentle and loving smile.

    Wen Wan looked at the eight-winged phoenix hairpin and saw the phoenix holding its head high and its chest held high, its wings spread out, and it was about to fly.  There are layers of green feathers, the long tail feathers fly upward, and the two claws stand on the auspicious clouds.  The clouds form as desired, unpredictable and exquisite.

    Look at the carver.  Wen Wan was amazed.  It is estimated that a top craftsman who has been practicing for at least thirty years would take several years to carve such a beautiful hairpin.  certainly.  Maybe it's not done by one person, but by several people.

    Wen Wan quickly withdrew her gaze and gave her a junior salute three steps away from Princess Fuling.  Princess Fuling had a look of relief in her eyes.  He shouted kindly and earnestly: "Come forward and let your aunt take a look. Let your aunt take a closer look."

    Wen Wan stepped forward, and Princess Fuling stretched out her hand to hold her in her arms.  Wen Wan unconsciously took two steps back, and Princess Fuling lost her hands, looking a little embarrassed.

    Wen Wan stood there apologetically, and wrote a few times, "Your Highness, Princess, the princess said that she doesn't like others touching her, and please forgive me."

    The lady next to her started to look at Wen Wan like this, and she was a little surprised.  This is too rude.  Hearing the explanation, I was stunned.  It turned out to be mysophobia.

    "You kid, why are you dressed so plainly?" After saying that, he pulled out a walking stick from his head and inserted it into Wen Wan's head.  Wen Wan felt an extra heavy object on her head.  Shake it hard.  The step was swaying there, making a crisp sound between collisions.  Wen Wan found it particularly fun.  After shaking it a few more times, the shaking became stronger and the smile became brighter.

    "I didn't expect that the princess is so lively and cute, and people like her at first sight. Come, come to the old lady." The leader was an old man, dressed simply and elegantly, looking very kind, and his eyes were full of kindness.  This kind of love radiates from the bottom of the heart.  Wenwan looked at Princess Fuling.

    Princess Fuling smiled and introduced to Wen Wan: "This is Mrs. Mi, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance."

    Wenwan stepped forward and gave the junior salute, and the old man accepted the salute.  She put the jasper jade bracelet on her wrist that was as smooth as green water on Wen Wan's wrist.  Miraculously, the bracelet didn't fall off.  That's because it's pulled up and it's quite tight.

    "This is Mrs. Weiweihou Crown Prince." Wen Wan looked like a person in her thirties, quite beautiful, and she looked like a smart and capable person.  Wen Wan just gave a slight hint.  There was no junior salute.  Everyone around was secretly surprised.  Mrs. Wei Wuhou Crown Prince actually had a smile on her face, praising her gentleness, dignity and generosity, and gave her a sheep white jade hairpin.  Xia Yu next to me accepted it.

    "This is Mrs. Shanhou Xu." She is a very beautiful woman.  Only about twenty-seven or eight years old.  Wen Wan looked at the face that looked exactly like the An family, and knew that she was the sister of the An family who married into the eldest lady's family.  Wen Wan looked at her with a calm expression and only maintained superficial etiquette.  Seeing Wen Wan's indifferent expression, Xu An felt a little annoyed, but she still had a smile on her face and gave it away.An emerald hairpin was given to Xia Yu.

    "This is Mrs. Hou Xu of Zhennan" A woman with a big face and an average appearance means she talks nicely.  She must have a rich family background, otherwise, how could she be the wife of a marquis.  He seems to be a shrewd and experienced person.  Got an ice peony pendant.

    Wen Wan is very happy and very grateful to the emperor and grandpa.  If it weren't for that title, I might have to kowtow, but like now, just two salutes are enough.  You can also get a lot of good stuff.

    " But what Qingshan and Qingshan received were not as good as Wenwan.  Don¡¯t these ladies do any superficial work?  It's really strange.  When I think about it, I feel relieved that I don¡¯t care about so many things.

    "Princess, the county master is here with some girls." A woman wearing Hunan-colored palace makeup walked in.  Princess Fuling has not yet spoken.

    "Mother" The bright girl rushed into Princess Fuling's arms like a gust of wind.  Wen Wan looked at this woman, who had snow-white skin and an oval face.  Wearing a tourmaline gemstone hairpin with several beaded flowers inlaid with gemstones, a red gold eight-treasure gemstone necklace hangs around her neck.  There are red gold and emerald cat's eye pendants hanging on her ears, and she wears a red gold seven treasure bracelet on her hands.  Wearing a spring shirt with peonies and brocade, a green skirt with moonlight flowers, and shoes embroidered with gold thread.  The embroidered shoes are decorated with two beautiful butterflies.  Wen Wan looked at it and saw that the butterfly eyes were actually sapphires.  She is truly a beautiful, wealthy and lovely woman, as if she were a beautiful lady descending to earth in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

    "Still like a monkey, come on, Xinying, this is your sister Wen Wan." Upon hearing this, the woman turned to look at Wen Wan, and Wen Wan also smiled at her.  When Xinying saw it, she was very happy and walked forward, wanting to hold Wen Wan's hand.  Wen Wan naturally took a step back.

    Xinying flashed her big eyes and said aggrievedly: "Sister Wen Wan, don't you like me?"

    "Xinying, your gentle sister doesn't like others touching her, it's not that she doesn't like you." Princess Fuling felt a little distressed when she saw her daughter's aggrieved look.

    "Really? How could there be such a quirk? Have you seen the imperial doctor?" Xinying asked with concern, flashing her big eyes.  Wen Wan glanced at her angrily and refused to respond.

    "Okay, come on, Wen Wan, let me introduce you to a few girls. You can play together if you have nothing to do in the future. This is the fifth young lady of the Mi family" Wen Wan has met them one by one, and everyone knows each other.

    "Princess, I heard that the garden you live in is very beautiful. When can I go and visit it?" The young lady of the Xu family is an outstanding-looking girl with a double-snail bun and two pomegranate red silk flowers the size of fingernails.  , very interested.

    "Is it the lotus garden where the Crown Prince's wife of Marquis Shenjian used to live? That garden is indeed beautiful. It was specially built for the Queen to rest when Emperor Yingzong's Queen Xiaochun returned to her parents' home to visit relatives. I heard that it was full of birds singing and flowers fragrant.  "The fairies, birds and animals are so beautiful, it's like a fairyland on earth." Mrs. Weihou Crown Prince longed for it.

    "Yes, it's very beautiful, like a fairyland. But now only sister Wen Wan lives in this garden, and it's hard for us to see her." Qingshan stood aside and said with a little regret.

    "How did you say this?" Mrs. Xu asked strangely after answering.

    "Sister Wen Wan has closed the garden, and we can't go in without her order. Our sisters used to go there to fly kites, but now they can't go either." Qingshan said with a hint of grievance.  (To be continued)
