    "Princess, our empress has invited the princess to come to the palace for a gathering." A female official in purple palace uniform invited Wen Wan very respectfully.  Wen Wanming knew she couldn't shirk it, but she still wanted to shirk it.

    Wen Wan just walked to the middle of the road and saw the person coming from a distance. Wen Wan knew that she couldn't hide this time.  As the saying goes, you can't escape the first grade of junior high school, but you can't escape the fifteenth grade. There is no way to hide.  The person she had never wanted to see, now, she had to see.

    In the palace of King Zhao, King Zhao was following his staff about what happened to King Zheng in Henan.

    "Your Majesty, there is a letter from Lu He. It is said that King Zheng has ordered the wealthy households in Fuzhou to lend him grain because there is no grain in the official warehouse. Some wealthy households in Fuzhou have been unable to resist the pressure and have borrowed grain one after another. Lu  He asked the prince what he should do. "The visitor reported.

    "You let the visitor settle down first." He turned around and returned to the study.

    "Your Majesty, a letter from the capital. The emperor has issued an order a few days ago to mobilize grain from Jiangxi, Suzhou and other provinces that produce abundant grain. If there is not enough, he has also gone to Taiyuan and other grain-producing places to buy it. The order is now estimated to have reached the governors.  Even if we want to stop him, we can't. Besides, everyone knows that Lu He belongs to the prince, and the emperor will be displeased if he knows about it." Mr. Zhuang didn't say anything more.  Go down.

    King Zhao knew his subtext.  At the moment, not only can he not cause harm, but he wants Lu He to help King Zheng in rescuing the disaster, otherwise, he will not get any good.

    "Let Lu He do his best to assist Prince Zheng. But isn't there a Governor Ma? That's Prince Zhi's man. The gentle incident last time made Prince Zhi very dissatisfied with Prince Zheng. Now, it's time to put it to good use  Yes." King Zhao said coldly.

    "Your Majesty, Princess Wenwan's move is indeed a clever one. In this way, not only does she have a great weight in the heart of the emperor, she also has a better reputation among officials and scholars; and in the eyes of the people, she also gains a  She is a selfless and sincere act for the people. But she is our opponent." Mr. Zhuang looked at King Zhao with great regret.  I'm also very upset. If I could have killed her, things wouldn't have happened now.

    "Opponent? Are you overestimating her?" Although King Zhao had this small thought in his mind, he was too proud to admit it.

    "Yes, she is my opponent. She loved money so much before. Everyone knew about her stingy reputation, and I thought it was nothing to worry about. But now it seems that it was my negligence. She was able to play tricks under our noses and deceived us all.  How could she be a simple person? Moreover, I recently carefully studied what Princess Wen Wan had done in the past four years, and found that Princess Wen Wan actually had a close relationship with Prince Chun and Prince Su.  These are all very important in the court, but she has never caused any criticism." Mr. Zhuang frowned.

    "You mean that she will be an extremely difficult person and a serious threat to us?" King Zhao's face was calm.  But he was extremely angry in his heart.

    "Yes, it is a very big threat. We can still guess five or six things about Prince Zheng's thoughts. But Princess Wenwan, I have been studying for so long, but I can't figure out her way. If you don't make a move, that's it. Once you make a move, let  You can't find a way to crack it at all. Moreover, we don't know when she will make a move or what kind of move she will use. My lord, you think her reputation has become so bad in recent years, but she has never been able to tell.  One or two, with such a reputation, he is still popular in the capital. I am sure that Prince Zheng must have a close relationship with the princess, so if Wen Wan County is involved in politics.  If the Lord directly asked the Emperor for this job to King Zheng, the Emperor would definitely be furious, instead of showing great love to him now. But what scares me is that we don't know what method she used to get the Emperor to agree to King Zheng's coming.  You should know that this job is different from the past. With Princess Wenwan taking the lead in donating all her wealth, there is no need to worry about raising money for disasters.  "Things that seem to have nothing to do with each other are closely related," Mr. Zhuang said worriedly.

    "You mean, she is more difficult to deal with than Lao Ba." King Zhao's face finally changed.

    "Yes, I dare to conclude that Princess Wenwan will be a serious problem for us." Mr. Zhuang's words made King Zhao gloomy, and he did not reply for a long time.

    "Your Majesty, although we can't do anything on the surface, we still have another way. Ma Tiankui has been greedy for a lot of money to build the dam. If, if this matter comes out, King Zheng's temperament will definitely  Investigate it to the end. By then, Prince Zhi's Mansion and Prince Zheng will have become enemies. This way, we won't be afraid that the people in Prince Zhi's Mansion will not help the prince." An aide thought of this and gave him a very good idea.

    Mr. Zhuang still wanted to speak, but looking at King Zhao¡¯s expression, he must have been moved, so he stopped thinking.the words said.  He lowered his head and did not continue to express his opinion.

    King Zhao thought for a while and said with a smile, "How can Ma Tiankui have such a big appetite on his own? I don't think Yuan Fan can escape the involvement either. If you want to offend him, just offend them both together. One of them can offend the most powerful person in the capital."  Two powerful princes. I want to see what Prince Zheng does?"

    Mr. Zhuang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, if this happens, Lu He will also be involved. When the time comes, he will definitely be dealt with severely by the emperor."

    King Zhao said nonchalantly, "It's worth using him to exchange the support of two princes for me. I believe he knows and won't say anything. I will protect him from death. In the future, I am afraid that I will lose his glory and wealth."  No."

    Several other staff members praised him constantly, but Mr. Zhuang remained silent.

    Royal Palace, Xianfu Palace

    When we arrived at the Xianfu Palace, we were all surrounded by yellow glazed tiles and double eaves on the top of the mountain, making it appear wealthy and solemn.  Entering the palace, the decoration is also elegant and noble.  You can tell from the way she behaves here that she is a woman of very high taste.  But when I entered the courtyard, I saw more than a dozen pots of oleanders in various varieties among the flowers in the courtyard.  This will be the season when oleanders bloom.  The deep red flowers are eye-catching. The red flowers are scorching like peach blossoms. They are really beautiful and have a faint fragrance.

    Wen Wan secretly became more vigilant.  Wen Wan introduced it in a book on folk customs. Oleander is extremely cold and highly poisonous. Just touching it will make you dizzy. If you accidentally eat it, you will vomit and become drowsy. If things go on like this,  Natural life is short-lived.  You have to be careful if you can raise so many without getting hurt.  This woman is not simple.

    Thinking about it made me laugh again. A woman, in a tragedy in the palace that killed all the high-ranking women, survived well without leaving a single leaf on her body.  He has been in charge of the harem for thirty years.  Not everyone can achieve this ability.  She had or had not mastered a lot of information before.  In my heart, I was extremely wary of this virtuous concubine.  She also thought that this was an extremely strict, rigid and calculating old lady.  You have to have a correct attitude.

    When we arrived at Xianfu Palace, we were led to the palace by the female official in purple.  There were quite a few people standing in the palace. The maids, palace maids and eunuchs standing there were all dressed in extraordinary clothes. They all held their breath and did not even cough.  Directly in front was an Arhat couch made of rosewood inlaid with conch and jade. There was a small Kang table made of the same material on the couch, and a beautiful middle-aged woman with a kind face sat in the middle.  The beautiful middle-aged woman was wearing a red sandalwood dress and had a high bun.  There is only one pearl flower on the bun.  The pearl flower is made of round pearls. It looks like a flower. If you look closely at the middle, you can see a little bit of crystal blue. It is decorated with tiny sapphire grains and strung together, just like the stamens of a flower.  Sophisticated and pretty, but not too ostentatious.  On her hand was a shining bracelet.

    Wen Wan was stunned when she saw the noble lady sitting above.  She always thought she was an old lady. After all, she was sixty years old.  That's why I thought he should be a rigid and powerful person.  Seeing a real person now, Wen Wan knew that she was completely wrong.

    The person in front of me looks to be about forty years old, with smooth and smooth skin, and a kind complexion. Judging from his appearance, he really doesn¡¯t look like he is sixty years old at all.  At this time, he was looking at Wen Wan with a smile. The smile was very kind, not like a powerful and calculating character.

    Wenwan looked at her, a little surprised.  She went to inquire specifically, and heard that he was almost sixty.  But it looks like it's just over forty.  Wen Wan sighed to herself, she really takes good care of herself!

    When Wen Wan was secretly sizing up Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian was also sizing up Wen Wan.  At first glance, Wen Wan's skin is fair and round, and her facial features are not very beautiful, but she has a dignified and elegant temperament. In the eyes of ordinary ladies, this is a symbol of good fortune.  But if you look closely, Wen Wan has an indescribable elegance and nobility all over her.  Under the attention of so many people, under her deliberate gaze, Wen Wan could still keep her posture straight, breathe evenly, and smile.  Once this all-over aura is exuded, it will not be ignored wherever you place it.  This meeting was not as powerful as I heard before, and now there was a shy smile on his face.  If you didn't know the gentle way, you would definitely think that she is a shy and introverted little girl.  Concubine Xian had a smile on her face, thinking about what Wen Wan had done before, and secretly thought a lot about Wen Wan.

    Wen Wan stepped forward and saluted Concubine Xian.

    "We are all members of our own family. Don't talk about these false etiquette. Hua Qiong, please help Wenwan get up. Come on, come and show grandma. Oh, grandma has been thinking about us day and night for Wenwan to come over. Today she finally came to grandma's place.  "Come, silly boy, come to grandma." After Wen Wan finished her salute, Concubine Xian wanted to hold Wen Wan's hand enthusiastically.

    Wen Wan is a little uncomfortable, and her conditioned reflex is to take two steps back.  After realizing that she was nervous, she blushed and drew a few words: "Empress, the princess said she was very sorry. Our princess usually alsoDoesn't like to be touched.  I don¡¯t get used to it now, so please don¡¯t mind me.  "This person who dislikes people is naturally someone who is not close to him.
