    "Are you not trying to get the emperor to promise you to hoard food so that you can make a fortune justifiably? Wen Wan, let me remind you that this business cannot be done. If you want to do this business, the emperor will be the first to forgive you.  But you. Don't even think about raising your head in your whole life, and your future life will be extremely miserable. Not to mention, if you do this, you will harm your descendants. Some money can be earned, but some cannot.  You have to understand, you know?" King Chun rarely kindly reminded Wen Wan to think twice before doing anything.

    Wen Wan looked at him in confusion.  Could it be that the words "I desperately want money" were engraved on her forehead.  Why do everyone think she is going to endanger the country?  Fortunately, my uncle is cute and knows that she doesn't have that kind of temper.  Therefore, when the critical moment comes, your blood relatives will still support you unconditionally.

    Wen Wan felt extremely unhappy about this matter, and was even very angry. She painted angrily at King Chun for a long time.  The bastard wanted to smear her. The princess said that since the emperor's grandfather was so kind to her, she would never do such an unscrupulous thing. Please rest assured.  She has a sense of responsibility. But this time, she must see the emperor. She has something important to ask the emperor, so she asks Prince Chun to help her. "

    "Well, since you said it's important, I'll take you there." King Chun agreed, looking at the gentle and pleading look.  Just take her into the palace, it's a piece of cake.  Furthermore, he rarely saw Wen Wan looking so pitiful, so his intuition should be that there was something really important.

    He never thought that Wen Wan wanted to use him or something, just take him into the palace to meet the emperor.  How big a deal it can be.  At most, the child was forced to despair.  Just asking him for a favor.  He is an iron-hatted prince. He is already rich enough in terms of power, and he does not need a higher level of power.  Therefore, the only thing that can arouse his interest is money.  If she can sell Wenwan such a face, she will have profitable projects in the future and will not forget herself.

    As for the rest, sorry, he doesn¡¯t know anything.  However, there is something weird about him.  Why is Wen Wan so eager to see the emperor?  Will something bad happen?

    We only found out later.  His intuition is very effective.  It also cost him a heavy price.

    "Dad, do you think Wen Wan will" Su looked anxious after hearing the news.

    Prime Minister Su has been very busy recently raising funds for the disaster.  After hearing what her son said, she shook her head neatly, "No. Wen Wan would never do such a thing."

    Seeing that his father was so confident, Su Xian stopped asking any more questions.  Will it happen? Time will prove the authenticity of all this.

    Wen Wan followed King Chun into the carriage.  He sent Xia Ying back.  Let her go and see if the coachman and Xia Yu are okay.  If nothing happens, let them go back.  Just go back to Prince Chun's Mansion and wait for her.  Xia Ying nodded when she saw Wen Wan following King Chun.  out.

    King Chun took Wen Wan into his own carriage.  Wen Wan saw King Chun's carriage.  His eyes turned left and right several times.  Wen Wan carefully looked at the carriage and came to a conclusion.  This is a stunning carriage that will make you dizzy.

    King Chun¡¯s special carriage is made of the finest mahogany from top to bottom. Wherever there is wood, it is painted with exquisite patterns and inlaid with various luxurious gems, emeralds and corals.  What's even more shocking to Wen Wan is that even the window curtains of the carriage are made of crocodile yarn that can clearly see the outside but prevent the outside from seeing the inside. A small piece of that thing can be folded into the size of a room.  It is spacious and very expensive, usually a small piece is worth thousands of taels of silver.  Wen Wan is reluctant to buy it and use it, thinking it is too wasteful.  And he actually used it as a window curtain for the carriage.  The tassels hanging from the front of the carriage are also made of gold and silver threads strung with snow-white pearls, and the roof of the carriage is also carved with dragons and phoenixes.  There is a small table inside the carriage.  It is also painted with gold.  Completely in line with the aesthetic standards of the royal family, luxurious and expensive.  Last time Prince Hao's luxurious carriage was compared with him.  It's all gone down a notch.

    And there are the four horses pulling the carriage in front, all of them are shining without a single hair.  At first glance, it looks like a high-quality good horse.  Such a good horse would definitely be sold for thousands of taels of silver in the market.

    Wen Wan finally understands why Mr. Zichun likes to make money and wants to make a lot of money.  Just looking at it, this carriage costs only tens of thousands taels, and it is absolutely impossible to buy it.

    King Chun looked at Wen Wan with a look of disdain and laughed.  He knew that Wenwan was an iron rooster, and the carriage he rode in for such a rich kid was not impressive at all.  Those who didn't know would definitely think that it belonged to someone else's family, but they would never have thought that it was the carriage of the famous maiden who gathered wealth, the princess of the princess.

    King Chun smiled proudly and said to Wen Wan, "How about it? Is my carriage comfortable? It's better than your donkey."How about the bird-covered car?  "

    Wen Wan wanted to roll her eyes at him.  Her carriage, though unspectacular, was absolutely comfortable.  Sitting in it is no less good than his carriage.  Even the stability inside was better than his.  Although the things in the carriage are not as luxurious as his, they are definitely high-end goods.  Adhering to her consistent purpose, low-key luxury.

    The carriage moved very quickly without encountering any obstructions on the road.  On this day, the Qi Dynasty had strict regulations on the carriages used by high-ranking officials and dignitaries such as clan members, courtiers, and concubines, and they were not allowed to exceed the regulations.  Those who can drive with four horses must be those with a throne or above.  For those of the second grade or above, more than two horses can be used.  There are also strict requirements for the formulation of carriages.  Of course, the same goes for sedans. There are strict regulations on color and other specifications.

    Therefore, if you see anyone on the road, please step out of the way immediately and make the journey unimpeded.  This is the benefit of nobility.  Needless to say, give way automatically.

    King Chun couldn't help but asked, "Wen Wan, why are you looking for the emperor and so anxious to see him?"

    Since Wen Wan is looking for help from someone, she will definitely not lie to him if he helps her.  But now there is no point in doing it or talking about it.  Shaked his head.  Said to keep it secret.

    King Chun looked at her and didn't ask any more questions.  From the small table above, he handed a piece of pastry to Wen Wan, "Try it, it tastes good."

    Wenwan took it.  Well, it tasted really good. I ate a piece.  Had another cup of tea.  Looking at the Yuqian Longjing tea on the table, this person really knows how to enjoy life.

    Wen Wan was bored sitting in the carriage, and she was afraid that King Chun would continue to ask questions, so she wanted to find something to do.  Looking at the back of the person he was leaning against, he stifled his back a little. He turned around and looked back, and there was a raised blue stone.  Anyway, there is nothing to do.  Just in time, Wen Wan was ready to find something to divert King Chun's attention.  Just slowly break it apart, and if it can't be broken, I pick it with my nails, and it will make a very harsh squeaking sound.  After digging for a long time, I still couldn't get rid of the blue stone.  Even looking at Wen Wan doesn't work.  Thinking about what tool to find.

    King Chun watched Wen Wan keep moving, and the corners of his mouth twitched several times, trying hard not to speak.  It can be seen that Wenwan has been busy for most of the day.  I didn¡¯t see her pulling out a blue gemstone from his carriage. She looked annoyed and angry. She couldn¡¯t help laughing anymore. ¡°If you like sapphires, I¡¯ll pick out some bigger, brighter and more valuable ones when you get back.¡±  I¡¯ll give it to you. Don¡¯t cut it out. I¡¯ll have to hire someone to do it again.¡±

    Wen Wan listened and expressed her understanding.  I am also tired of digging.  She opened the curtain and saw the journey. She also took a carriage last time and she still remembered the general route.  In a while, we'll be there.

    The four-horse carriage was really fast, and it only took about half an hour (about an hour) to arrive.  After entering the palace and arriving at the designated place, there were no cars, so we had to walk in.  Wen Wan walked faster because she had something on her mind.  Even King Chun had to quicken his pace to keep up.

    King Chun smiled and said, "You girl, why are you walking so fast? Your Majesty doesn't know how to run away, so walk slowly. I wonder where you've learned the rules. You don't look like a lady like everyone else."

    Wenwan glanced at him.  He pursed his lips.  How can a grown man be so stubborn?  Really, I haven't discovered it before.  This would be considered knowing.  Men, no matter what their age, can be wordy sometimes.

    ¡° If King Chun knew what Wen Wan was thinking now, he would probably have to put her back in the carriage, pack her up and send her back to her home.

    Imperial Palace, Yanghe Hall

    Wenwan begged King Chun to take him into the palace, but she was still worried.  She was afraid that even if she entered the palace, the emperor would not see her.  She was still thinking in her mind that if she was really unlucky, she would ask King Chun to help deliver it to the emperor's grandfather.

    King Chun looked at her anxious look and said with a smile that he had always had a good relationship with the chief manager.  If you put in a good word, the emperor should meet with her.

    Wen Wan felt relieved in her heart and wrote on his hand, "I must ask him to say a few good words. I must see the emperor's grandfather. This matter is really urgent. I must ask him to help me a lot."  Help."

    She heard that the emperor was so busy all day and all night that he had no time to sleep in order to raise disaster funds.  I was looking for someone to raise money for disaster relief, but some of the people I picked were either sick, fell off their horses, or the coachman fell and knocked someone down.  Anyway, just one sentence, everything went wrong, and everyone who was favored by the emperor was turned into a coward.  It is understandable to say that you went to ask for nearly one million taels of silver just a month ago, and now you want it again. Otherwise, the emperor will definitely be angry and punish you.  It's better not to take this hot potato.  So up to now, five days have passed between the government and the public, and there has not been a single loud noise.  This shows how difficult it is to raise money.

    She heard Yu Feiyang say that she could give preferential treatmentPurchase large quantities of grain at high prices.  Even if she found out later that Yu Feiyang had other intentions and wanted to scheme against her, she still wanted to sign the contract first and then give the signed contract to the emperor so that he could force those people to hand over the food.  What she actually thought that day was that these officials were all old fools.  Passing their hands is equivalent to peeling off several layers of oil.  She was reluctant to let them swallow her money.  But things became more and more uncontrollable later on.  The princes of the country came to reprimand him.  The consequences of this matter, it should be said that the seriousness, has exceeded the scope of what she can bear.

    She was very suspicious, if this person was created by Concubine Xian and others.  After she signed the contract, regardless of whether it was money or not, she was probably silenced before she could give the contract to the emperor's grandfather. At that time, she would have lived another life and had a thousand mouths.  , there is no way to wash away the grievances on the body.  The current situation no longer gave her any choice.  Therefore, don¡¯t think about buying food anymore.  The only way left was to give the silver to the emperor's grandfather, which was the safest way.

    "Your Majesty, your princess is outside the main hall, asking to see the Emperor." The Emperor has been very busy recently.  There was no time to pay attention to Wen Wan's trivial matters, but when the chief manager said that Wen Wan had handed over the sign five times.  Each time it was rejected and submitted again.

    The emperor also heard about Wen Wan¡¯s plan to hoard food and prepare to sell it at a good price.  Although he had known that Wenwan loved money before, he just thought that this child had suffered too much. He thought it was probably because she had suffered so much, endured cold and hunger, and only money could make her feel at ease.  But he really didn't expect that this child would love money so much.  Would actually do such a thing.  certainly.  Because it's just a rumor, maybe someone wants to ruin Wenwan's reputation.  But if Wen Wan really did this, the first person who could not spare her would be him, the emperor.

    He was raising money to buy food. If she really dared to hoard food and drive up the price of food, he would have to deal with her severely.

    Because we still haven¡¯t got the exact news yet.  So the emperor is also waiting and watching.  But yesterday he got the exact news that Wen Wan had indeed agreed to Yu Feiyang and was willing to pay 200,000 taels of silver to buy grain.  An appointment has been made for the next morning.  It was around this time that we went to Jinxiu Building to sign a contract to purchase grain.  The emperor had just received the news that Wen Wan had indeed left for Jinxiu Tower.  When he got the news, he felt angry.  Very sad too.  This child, although he was not extremely kind to her.  But the emperor asked himself that he had taken great care of Wen Wan.  Why are they all so disobedient and unfilial to do things that make him sad?  How could this child do such a thing that would only benefit the country and forget about the country?  Thinking of this, a feeling of disgust flashed through my heart. "I don't have time, let her go back. Tell me, let her reflect on what she should do and what shouldn't be done? If she does something she shouldn't and shouldn't do, I will never forgive her."  she."

    Hearing what the emperor said, the chief officer, Eunuch Wen, knew that the emperor was angry.  Recently, the emperor has become anxious about raising disaster funds.  I couldn't sleep well after tossing and turning at night.  Your princess is still adding fuel to the fire.  But just now King Chun had assured him that Wen Wan had personally told him that there was no such thing as hoarding food.  It was someone else with ulterior motives who plotted against her.  So he calmed down and said gentle and kind words to the emperor, "Your Majesty. Your princess has always been a sensible and filial child. In the past three years, the old slave has noticed your filial piety towards the Emperor. What is there to eat?"  Fun and enjoyable, the first thing I thought about was the emperor. The old slave guessed that those were probably rumors. Even if the princess loved money, she would not be so ignorant and do such ridiculous things.  The reason why she keeps asking for an audience must be because she has something important to do. Your Majesty, if she really wanted to do such a ridiculous thing, why did she keep asking for an audience and even get it?  In front of King Chun, she begged him to take her into the palace to see the emperor. If she really dared to do such a thing, it was too late to hide from the emperor. How could she still want to see the emperor? Your Majesty, maybe there was something hidden in this matter?  ? Your Majesty, since your princess is already at the entrance of the palace, let¡¯s see what the princess says. Also, let¡¯s see what important matter the princess has to see the emperor so urgently.

    The emperor thought about it for a while, but she actually came to see him again and again.  He also came to see himself through King Chun.  There is also the news I just received, saying that she went to discuss the business of buying grain, but now she came to the palace, which is a bit contradictory.  Besides, although I haven't seen the child a few times, I can tell that he is smart and would not do such stupid things.  Since she wants to see him, she wants to see him, but I want to see what she wants to say.

    The emperor sat on the dragon table and looked hard at the memorial.  He had bad eyesight and was getting older, so it was difficult for him to read memorials.  Eunuch Wen came in with Wen Wan.  Originally, King Chun wanted to follow him in, but Eunuch Wen stopped him, saying that the emperor only allowed the princess to go in alone.

    After Wen Wan entered Yanghe Hall,He kowtowed in the row, looked up again, and saw the emperor whom he had not seen for more than a year.  Seeing Wen Wan was a bit bitter, the emperor now was much more haggard and older than the last time she saw him, and he didn't seem to be in good spirits.  The emperor asked Wen Wan, asking to see me again and again, what happened.

    Wen Wan knelt on the marble head, took out a large envelope from her sleeves, raised her hands, and presented it to her.  The chief officer took it and handed it to the emperor.  The emperor took it and bumped it in his hand. It was quite heavy. It should be some couplet or something.

    "You are so anxious to see me, just to give me this. Now I accept it, you go back!" The emperor looked at such an envelope, seeing the gentle and caring look again, and thinking about those things, he felt a little bored.  I thought I was gifting some crappy couplet, but now I have such a funny object.  You can please yourself.  If he really did such a thing, he would be the first to spare her.  Looking at Wen Wan again, she felt that the caring look was particularly dazzling, so she waved her hand impatiently and asked her to go down.

    Seeing the emperor's impatient look, Wen Wan thought it was because he had worked too hard during the recent meal and was in a irritable mood.  If she knew that the emperor also thought she was going to make a fortune for the country and was displeased with her, he would have depressed her to death.  I didn't expect that those people's propaganda was so effective. Everyone except my uncle believed that she was after money.

    She met the emperor and asked her to leave. She knew that the emperor might not be in a good mood recently, which was understandable.  He didn't do anything annoying, just took good care of himself and took care of himself, and exited calmly.

    When Wen Wan went out, Eunuch Wen looked at the emperor and did not intend to open it. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I think this envelope is quite thick. Let's see what the princess put in it."

    The emperor was looking at Zhou Zhe and glanced at the bulging envelope. "Open it and see if there is something funny written on it. He begged King Chun to bring her in and give it to me. If she really dares to do such a thing,  , I will punish her severely even if she sends a thousand lovely couplets.¡±

    Eunuch Wen walked respectfully to the emperor, picked up the envelope with both hands, squeezed it, and felt it was very thick.  I opened it carefully and took out the things. I thought I was dazzled at first, so I wiped my eyes and continued to read. After looking at it twice, I was sure that I was not dazzled. Then I was so shocked that I knelt on the ground and cried out softly, "Your Majesty,  Princess, this"

    It cannot be said that Eunuch Wen is too indecisive, but the main reason is that the disparity is too great.  In Eunuch Wen's heart, he also thought that what was in Wen Wan's envelope was a lovable object.  The emperor felt happy after seeing the lovable object last time and gave it a huge reward.  But I didn't expect it to be such a thing.  Think again of what Wen Wan is known to be like in the capital city, with a tough-as-nails temperament.  There is a huge difference between this rumor and the reality of what he has in his hand.

    The emperor glanced at Eunuch Wen displeasedly, wondering what the fuss was about.  He is also the old man in front of him. He is so ignorant. It seems that he is getting old and it is time to move.  Thoughts like this, his eyes did not look up.

    "Your Majesty, what the princess gave is not a funny couplet. What the princess gave are all silver notes, from Huitong Bank. The slave looks at this stack of bank notes, which should contain hundreds of thousands of taels of silver." Wen  The father-in-law took out the envelope, took out all the contents, and showed it to the emperor with both hands.

    Hearing this, the emperor turned around and saw that they were indeed all silver notes. The one at the top was a huge one, one hundred thousand taels (in the society at that time, one hundred thousand taels was already the peak).  The memorial in the emperor's hand was unconsciously dropped on the review case.  He immediately took it and put it on the memorial for review. He looked at the banknotes of one hundred thousand, fifty thousand, ten thousand, five thousand, one thousand and other large denominations, and his heart was filled with panic.  A casual calculation shows that there are about ten bills with a denomination of 100,000 yuan. These are not hundreds of thousands, but millions of taels of silver notes.

    I remembered the news I had received before, saying that your princess had sold almost all the properties in her name.  With so much silver, the emperor's hands could not help but tremble unconsciously.  However, the emperor calmed down his mood almost instantly, and shouted hurriedly. He felt that the voice was not loud enough, and then raised the voice a little higher, "Quickly, go and call Wenwan back for me, quick, quick  Go, go and bring Wen Wan back to me.¡±

    Eunuch Wen walked out quickly, or rather trotted out.  The people waiting outside the palace were all surprised to see that the chief steward, who had always been calm and collected, was so out of his mind today.

    The emperor immediately called for people and asked him to quickly check how he got all these.  Is it true that Wen Wan got it by selling all his property?  (To be continued)
