When King Zheng heard this, his face became very gloomy. Although Wen Wan didn't say who it was, he could guess with his toes who the person who wants Wen Wan's life would be. It's really abominable that they don't even spare a child. King Zheng was angry. A few years ago, Wen Wan was just a six-year-old child. Even the six-year-old child was not spared. It was really a shameful plan. No wonder this child has such a bad reputation. No wonder he has to endure these bad reputations and never resists. It turns out that she knew someone was trying to harm her, so she had been holding back until now.
It¡¯s all him, he¡¯s the one who caused this child to suffer all this. Otherwise, a royal princess would be reduced to a talking point in the streets. It was all because of himself that Wen Wan was hurt, and Wen Wan took the blame for him.
Seeing Wen Wan's slightly apologetic look, King Zheng felt very uncomfortable. He hugged her and said, "Silly girl, how can uncle be angry? Uncle is just uncomfortable. Uncle can't protect you well, so you have to face these things at a young age. I have been wronged so much. It will never happen again. If my uncle can stay in the capital, no one will have the courage to harm you again. If my uncle returns to the fiefdom, he will definitely take you back."
When Wen Wan heard these words, it was sweeter than drinking honey water. She abandoned everything else. Haha, wasn't it her wish to go to the fiefdom? Once there, the world is hers, and she can do whatever she wants. When Wen Wan thought about it, she grinned.
King Zheng felt even more sour when he saw Wen Wan like this. This child only reported good things and not bad things in his letter. I don¡¯t know how many grievances I have suffered over the years. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so happy after hearing these words. In my heart, I felt deep guilt and distress.
The two of them were talking. Wen Wan felt very happy because of King Zheng's words. The strokes were quite lively, and I was happily chatting with King Zheng. There were footsteps outside.
"Your Majesty, Princess, Long Live the Lord has sent a message, please come over and have a meal." The eunuch said respectfully. Wen Wan's face remained as usual, but Prince Zheng's face showed joy. Now, thirty years later, he has never had a meal alone with the emperor.
When I was young. Usually when there is a big banquet that requires everyone to attend, he will bring him over to improve his life. As for the emperor, he could only meet him from a distance. The emperor's face was a little unclear. Other times, he could not see the emperor. In the harem, his own mother and concubine also disliked him extremely. Everyone in the palace seemed to have selectively forgotten that there was such a prince.
Fortunately, he has a talented nanny and a personal eunuch with strong martial arts skills by his side. Because of their careful teaching, he was not wasted. It¡¯s just that when I was young, I didn¡¯t understand why Mammy and the two of them had to hide their talents to themselves. Don't let anyone know. It is said that only when you reach the fiefdom and have your own strength can you show it.
Although he didn¡¯t understand, he knew that grandma was doing it for his own good. In the palace, they were the only two people who truly loved him. So he was willing to listen to them. so. Before going to the fiefdom, he had always been defeated by King Zhou. All I could do was listen to how smart the fifth prince was and how he gained the emperor's love. But he was the forgotten prince in the palace.
After so many years and experiencing so many things, he also understood the good intentions of the two of them. It was also because of his forbearance that Prince Zheng became as famous as King Zhao. Otherwise, he would just be an unknown prince, relying on 30% of his fiefdom's income and waiting to die. Or, become a cup of loess.
??????????In these years, I have eaten with the emperor at big banquets. It can also be counted with a pair of hands. King Zheng didn't know what it felt like to be able to eat with the emperor up close. There is joy and grievance. And hope, all kinds of complicated emotions. but. His face was as calm as water, not showing anything at all. The emperor could see the turbulent emotions in his heart, but Wen Wan just smiled and only thought about the delicious food. If Wen Wan knew about it, she would have to sigh a few words, how could her uncle have been so miserable in the palace before. Comparable to what she had when she was little. No wonder the two of them can be uncles and nephews in this life!
The two held hands and went to the dining hall. Wenwan went in as usual, but King Zheng's face was very complicated. Wen Wan asked King Zheng strangely what was wrong. King Zheng smiled and said he was fine. Wen Wan went in together.
Wen Wan sat next to the emperor as usual, while King Zheng was led by the eunuch to sit opposite the emperor. Ancient tables were all rectangular and round. This meeting was at a rectangular table, with two people facing each other, and Wen Wan sitting next to her.
There are many dishes here, a variety of dishes, and the taste of the dishes is very good. Normally when we eat with the emperor, we always have eighteen dishes. Eunuch Wen also said that this was because the country had been experiencing many disasters recently. In order to set an example for the people in the world, the emperor was deliberately frugal and had only eighteen dishes per meal. Normally there are 81 dishes, but during major festivals there are 108 dishes.??Today, I saw thirty-six dishes. In fact, Wen Wan has never liked such a long table, but she didn't raise any objections. Because the long table separates people, it feels awkward to eat.
Whichever dish Wen Wan glances at, the palace maid will pick it up, as casually as if she were eating at home, without any formality.
King Zheng, whose expression was not revealed, but looked serious as if he were fighting, was very embarrassed, and even had a slight blush on his face. Compared to Wen Wan, he seems to have thought too much.
Wenwan looked at King Zheng with a smile and made a few strokes. I mean, the food here is very good, so you should eat more and replenish yourself. During this time, I must have suffered a lot there, and I look much thinner than I was four years ago.
Wen Wan¡¯s tone of voice is like that of a young adult, as if the elders in the family care about the younger ones. In fact, Wen Wan can call Prince Zheng brother and sister based on her age in her last life plus this life. So she never had the consciousness to be a child.
When King Zheng saw Wen Wan, he didn't care about the emperor being here at all, and just messed around with him. Xia Ying explained from the side.
"Well, it looks like he has lost a lot of weight. Let the imperial doctor take care of him then." The emperor said with a smile.
Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Wen Wan looked at King Zheng and then at the emperor. Finally, he lowered his head and continued to eat the rice in the bowl.
The emperor noticed it and hesitated to speak, "Girl, if you have something to say, just say it. If you don't say it, you probably won't be able to finish the rice in this bowl."
Wen Wan looked at the emperor, thought for a while, and then started to draw. Xia Ying whispered from the side, "Your Majesty, the princess said that the prince promised to return to the fiefdom and take the princess with him this time. The princess was reluctant to leave the emperor, but also wanted to visit the fiefdom. She was in a dilemma! Your Majesty, the princess asked you to let her go. Follow the prince and take a look at the fiefdom. I will come back to accompany you then."
I¡¯m scared. When we get to the fiefdom, it would be strange if she wants to come back! However, let's say these words now to coax the emperor's grandfather, and when he gets to the fiefdom, he will find a way to stay there. By then, she will be the boss. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, so her life as a snake with a bowed head must be as good as a god.
The emperor looked at Wen Wan and said with a smile, "You just want to go to the fiefdom, and no one can control you. When the time comes, you will be the biggest fiefdom, and you have the final say, right?"
Wen Wan lowered her head and complained secretly, what do you mean when you say you are not a thousand-year-old fox. You can see what I'm thinking. Doesn't this cost lives?
"Lao Ba, this steamed seabass dish is not bad. I remember that your taste has always been on the bland side. This dish is well done. Bring it to the Eighth Prince." The emperor changed the subject.
King Zheng was a little flattered. But Wen Wan curled her lips, "What?" After the blow, he went to show his father's love. It was too unkind. Wen Wan glanced at the emperor very unhappily, then lowered her head and continued to cook the rice. She didn't even want the food, and just competed with the rice. It was the palace maid serving dishes next to him who brought him his usual favorite dishes. After finishing one bowl, let me add another bowl.
King Zheng looked at Wen Wan, then glanced at the emperor. Seeing that the emperor was smiling and eating his meal without being angry, he felt relieved. Seeing Wen Wan looking at him doubtfully, he nodded with a smile, but soon put aside his restraint and looked as usual.
Wen Wan glanced at the dishes in front of King Zheng and pointed to the maid serving the dishes next to her. The maid took a few chopsticks from the two dishes next to Wen Wan and put them into King Zheng's bowl. King Zheng looked at the two dishes and smiled. It also tastes more cheerful.
"Why, Lao Ba, do you also like to eat chicken shreds, mugwort seeds and sour bamboo shoots?" The emperor saw that his uncle and nephew had similar tastes, but his heart moved. asked casually.
"Eat more than others." King Zheng replied cautiously.
Wen Wan, on the other hand, tilted her head and smiled, saying that her favorite thing was to eat these two things. She remembered that her uncle also preferred these two kinds of food. Wen Wan said proudly, "Look, uncle and nephew are so dedicated. Not only do they look similar, they even like to eat the same."
"You girl, your appearance and eating can be mixed together, there is nothing you dare not think about." The emperor broke the habit of saying nothing while eating and scolded with a smile.
Wen Wan pouted, why can't we just talk about it casually? You can say whatever you want, but in order to remain a lady and not be scolded by your uncle for being unruly. He will eat his food honestly. If you want to eat, get a dish and let me pick it up. It won¡¯t be the same as the one just made.
King Zheng looked at her casual way of eating, and saw that the emperor seemed to be used to it, so he smiled and said that she liked to eat more, but he didn't know that Wen Wan also liked to eat.
He looked at King Zheng gently and accusingly, with a very aggrieved look in his eyes. I remember that you like to eat, why don't you remember that I like to eat? You really don't care about her. King Zheng couldn't help laughing when he saw her pretending to be aggrieved.
This meal was quite easy to eat.
After eating, King Zheng left the palace. Wen Wan looked at Prince Zheng's back, and then at the emperor.
"Okay, let's go out of the palace with your uncle!" The emperor looked at Wen Wan's helpless look and couldn't help but smile and pat her little head, asking her to go back too.
Wen Wan was so happy that she jumped three feet high, hugged the emperor and made him sweet. Run out quickly. It's rare for the emperor to see Wen Wan so happy. In the past few days, the emperor has rewarded Wen Wan with countless good things. But she just smiled. She had been by his side for several months, and she had never seen the child so happy. There was deep thought in the emperor's eyes. (To be continued)
