Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Listening to King Zhao's words, Wen Wan kept her head lowered and said nothing.  In fact, after listening to King Zhao's words, her teeth have been sore. I have worked hard to have anything to do with you.  Happy?  You probably hate it so much that you can¡¯t get rid of it!  A person who is extremely hypocritical is as hypocritical as your mother. She is truly worthy of being a mother and son.

    Wen Wan was very disdainful in her heart. She didn¡¯t say it, but it couldn¡¯t be seen on her face. After all, he was also her uncle.  If you show disrespect, it is disrespectful to the elders, and it is not a good thing for her.  But because she was wary, she stood on one side with her waist straight, even straighter than Eunuch Wen, and more upright than the maids and eunuchs in the Yanghe Palace.  As for the strokes and stuff, forget it.  That's so rude and unruly, because ladies can't point fingers, it's very indecent.

    The emperor frowned after looking at it. Thinking of Wen Wan's incident of frightening the horse before, a third of his joy suddenly disappeared.  However, our son, who we only met after four years, still smiled and said, "It's all in the past. Wen Wan, don't you really know that you are still jealous of your uncle after hearing the news? He was indeed unaware of it at the time. You  Still angry."

    Wen Wan raised her head, smiled and shook her head.  Although the emperor said a few words to him to one side, his gentleness did not change at all. He was polite and polite, and his face was still guarded and reserved.  The emperor had already seen the gentle politeness and unfamiliarity, and seemed to want to keep a distance, and even seemed to be afraid and defensive.  The emperor could see it, and so could King Zhao.

    Wen Wan didn't need to guess, she knew that the two foxes in front of her could definitely tell that. With her skills, in front of such two masters, her little thoughts were totally unstoppable.  Since she couldn't hide it, she never thought of hiding it.  She was just on guard and afraid of King Zhao.  so what.  If it were in the past, Wen Wan would still have some scruples and even save a little face.  But after experiencing the shocking incident, Wen Wan knew very well that these people would never let her go.  If that's the case, why does she still pretend to be good?  She never asked that she must be loved by everyone.  She didn't expect to be liked by the person who wanted to kill her.  If she could still do it, she would be a saint.  She won't be nice to everyone.  Not to mention such a person, such a person, scares her.  And because of what happened before, she even showed fear and defensiveness.  No one can talk about these nonsense.

    Even the emperor¡¯s grandfather would not blame himself for this.  Because normal people would definitely doubt King Zhao.  Except for him, no one would want to get rid of him so much.  Because she has blocked his way.  posed a threat to him.

    King Zhao looked a little uncomfortable and hurriedly changed the topic.  Talked about political affairs with the emperor.  When he was discussing the government affairs of his fief with the emperor, he saw Wen Wan and did not go out.  He looked at the emperor with some surprise.  Is this girl already so pampered?

    Wen Wan saw him looking at her innocently. She wanted to go out.  But the problem is.  The emperor's grandfather didn't say anything!  How could she get out?

    The emperor saw King Zhao's confusion and said with a smile, "Let this girl stay here. Let's have lunch together later." With her gentle demeanor, if she was allowed to go out, she would probably have to sneak back home soon.  I searched for a while but couldn't find anyone.

    Wen Wan thought for a while, walked forward, picked up a pen beside the emperor, and wrote on the white paper, "Grandpa Emperor, you and your fifth uncle should talk about business first. I'm bored staying here, why don't you let me  I¡¯ll go to the study first, and then you¡¯ll have dinner with me.¡±

    The emperor looked at Wen Wan's reluctant, reserved and scared look, but he did not refuse, but said kindly, "Okay. Then you go out first. I will send someone to send a message later and you can come over."

    Wenwan nodded and bowed to the emperor and King Zhao.  Withdrew.

    King Zhao was so frightened that the emperor was so gentle and gentle, and he didn't know how many twists and turns he made.  But he forced himself to hold back this uneasiness and restlessness.  Follow the emperor and talk about the government affairs in the fiefdom.

    Wen Wan returned to his small study, not in the mood to read or practice calligraphy.  He went directly into the small room and fell on his antique mahogany carved bed.  He took off his coat and got under the quilt.  She wanted to sleep, but unfortunately she couldn't.  Eyes wide open.

    To say that this small house really spent a lot of thought.  This bed is made of fine mahogany carvings.  The quilt cover is soft and bright satin, the lining is palace-made fine cotton, and even the quilt and pillow core are made of soft silk.  The small table next to it is made of rosewood. The furnishings on the treasure pavilion are either made of jade or porcelain. Each piece is of fine quality and is a rare and priceless treasure.  Even the pens she has been using recently, many of them are famous pens that are coveted by scholars. There is also a pine flower stone on his desk, which was used by famous writers in the previous dynasty and is very precious.  Let alone other things.  Many of the furnishings in her house were purchased from the emperor's private treasury.  She was afraid to put the others but was unwilling to do so.

    Wen Wan YangWearing a curtain made of woven gold satin, a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.  She never cared about these things, but the emperor's grandfather liked them to show his love for her.  These dead things, no matter how luxurious and expensive they are, are of no use.  Yesterday, when her uncle heard that the emperor's grandfather said that he was allowed to stay for dinner, she was also very cautious when eating. She even had panic and uneasiness flashing across her face. It wasn't that she didn't notice it, but she just pretended not to notice it, so as not to look bad on her uncle's face.  When she was at the Wen family, every time her grandma would be kind to her when she was in a good mood, she would also be so happy.  Unexpectedly, she could actually see from her uncle's face now that he was full of emotions at that time.  She is not a child who doesn't understand anything.  From just one meal, it can be seen that my uncle was definitely not a favored prince in the capital in the past, and was even extremely neglected.  She had often heard Xia Ying Ruoyouruowu bring this information before.  But she didn't pay much attention.  Because as far as she knew her uncle, he was a very powerful person and he shouldn't have to suffer so much.

    She was still making excuses in her mind about what happened yesterday, saying that her grandfather treated several princes similarly.  Because from what Wen Wan knew in the past few months, the emperor did not have much affection for the princes. From what Wen Wan had seen in the past few months, the emperor was no better to King Zhou and Prince Ning than he was to his uncle.  So she used that reason to convince herself.  Don't let yourself think about so many bad things.  It would be bad if you complain in your heart and show it on your face.

    But today, the emperor¡¯s grandfather and King Zhao are a loving father and a filial son.  It is completely different from yesterday's pure and natural appearance, which was indistinguishable between the monarch and his ministers.  It turned out that everything I guessed was true.  It turns out that my uncle's life in the palace was indeed unsatisfactory.  The news that Xia Ying revealed to him at the beginning was not watery, and perhaps even worse.

    Wen Wan really didn¡¯t expect that she and her uncle both had a childhood where they were disliked and bullied by others, and both had a painful past that was unknown to the public.  It's just that her uncle is better than her.  He has always worked hard.  In the capital city, he was indifferent, and he waited until he got to the fiefdom to show off his talents.  The prince who was never known by others suddenly became the most eye-catching prince after King Zhao.

    Wen Wan really can¡¯t figure out why the emperor¡¯s grandfather is so partial. Looking at things like this today, no wonder he can come to kill her so blatantly.  But what should I do?  What else could she do besides using the tail snake as a virtual snake?  Stab him with a knife to take revenge, unless you are crazy.  But without revenge, she couldn't eat when faced with such a hypocritical face every day.  Very uncomfortable.

    Wen Wan thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of a good way.  She didn't want to enter the palace, but she was caught every day.  After a while, I thought about just now, and I felt very uncomfortable.  I can't sleep no matter what.  Simply cover your head with a quilt.  Force yourself not to think about it, so as not to get sad the more you think about it.  Somehow.  Fell asleep.  But the emperor, who was waiting for Wen Wan to enjoy his meal, did not arrive for a long time.

    "Your Majesty, the princess is asleep. Do you want to wake the princess up?" Eunuch Wen asked carefully.  The reason why I ask this is because Wen Wan has a rule.  This rule has not changed even after arriving at the palace.  Then when she was asleep, unless it was something important that affected her life, someone taller would hold her up first if the sky fell, and then wake her up if she couldn't bear it anymore.

    Once upon a time, the maid outside did not know that she dropped something on the ground in the house, which made a loud noise and woke her up.  Wenwan is someone who never takes the initiative to punish people.  Ever since they separated, she has never once punished her servants.  But this time she was very angry after being woken up.  The maid was made to kneel for three hours and was punished with a year's salary.  It's useless for anyone to show mercy.  If you dare to plead for mercy, you will be punished.

    Since that incident, everyone knows that the Princess, except the Emperor of Heaven and Earth, is the one who sleeps the most.  Eunuch Wen also heard about Wen Wan's rule and went to investigate this weird behavior, but couldn't find the reason.  The reason is probably that the Emperor and I don¡¯t even know.  Because Wenwan had insomnia almost all night in her previous life and couldn't fall asleep even with the help of sleeping pills, so she can sleep peacefully in this life. She cherishes every opportunity to sleep until she wakes up naturally.  It was absolutely unforgivable to wake her up.

    "I don't know the reason, but I know that he is going to wake up the princess. With the princess's eccentric temperament, no matter whether he is the emperor's valet or not, he will definitely not be as good as him.  As for the emperor's attitude of doting on the princess, he would be punished if he was punished, and there would be no place to seek grievances.  Therefore, it must be done according to the emperor's imperial edict.

    The emperor also knew about Wen Wan's temperament. Although he didn't know why Wen Wan was so afraid of being woken up, he thought it was because he had been frightened when he was young.  So I didn't force him to wake me up, "Go and take a look, it's been an hour now, it's time to get up and have lunch."

    Xia Ying believed it and tentatively woke up Wen Wan.  Wen Wan opened her eyes, looked at the antique house, and then at Xia Ying who woke her up, as if she was seeing an enemy.  He stood up and asked Xia Ying to kneel in the yard for an hour and a half.Promise that she won't do it again next time, she will decide based on her mood.

    The maid gave her water to cleanse her face and then went out to eat.  When we arrived, the father and son were already seated.  Wen Wan sat next to him politely.  Ancient people paid attention to eating without talking and sleeping without talking.

    When Wen Wan was eating, Wen Wan maintained her ladylike demeanor.  She eats the rice one by one, chews the vegetables in small bites, and behaves elegantly and gracefully, just like a lady of a wealthy family eating.  Not only did the emperor almost laugh when he saw her like this, but even the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving him looked at their little master who had been serving them for three months in surprise. The sudden seizure was like a ghost. It was shocking.  towering.

    The emperor glanced at Wen Wan several times. Wen Wan was concentrating on eating. She tried to speak several times but finally said nothing.  Eunuch Wen lowered his head.  King Zhao always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it, so he remained silent and ate his lunch as usual.

    Seeing Wen Wan¡¯s appearance, the emperor finally didn¡¯t ask.  But this time, compared to the relaxing meal yesterday, I felt like something was missing.  So the emperor broke the routine this time.  At the dinner table, I asked King Zhao about his family.  King Zhao answered extremely confidently, with pride and contentment in his brows.  In short, to put it simply, it means a very good thing anyway.

    Wenwan pretended that she was here without her ears and slowly enjoyed the delicious meal on her plate.  But he was laughing in his heart.  Humph, your fiefdom is very good. Why didn't I see you helping my father immediately at that time?  The emperor's grandfather fainted for money and you kept silent for five days.  After she donated money and the court made a large-scale donation, it took the shortest three days to send someone 200,000 taels of silver to the emperor's grandfather.  If you are truly filial.  It should be to help the emperor's grandfather to relieve his worries as soon as possible, rather than to act as an afterthought.

    ¡° Moreover, based on the previous calculation, Wen Wan strongly suspected that King Zhao was colluding with the big grain merchants in Jiangnan.  Maybe he still had plans to make a fortune, but he was disturbed by himself (Wen Wan is a villain).  Not to say.  The head of the richest family in the world is his cousin-in-law.

    ¡°Huh, that¡¯s all Wen Wan knows.  King Zhao was very rich. He only paid 200,000 taels of silver and received praise from both the government and the public.  The officials of the imperial court did not know how much they had been bribed by him. King Chun also donated 200,000 yuan, but he was not as loud as him.  And her uncle gave her all the money he had.  She asked her uncle to record the hundreds of thousands of stones of grain purchased with 200,000 taels of silver in her uncle's name, but the emperor's grandfather refused. As a result, her uncle only paid 30,000 taels of silver into the Ministry of Household Affairs.  Among all the princes, he is the one with the fewest fiefdoms.  He is shorter by more than one head.  The emperor's grandfather seemed not to know about this.  It made Wenwan feel very uncomfortable.

    "However, Wen Wan is also very clear-minded. According to legend, she has let the emperor's grandfather know that she donated more than one million silver, of which 200,000 were sent by Uncle Zheng.  But the emperor's grandfather didn't show any sign at all, which made Wen Wan so angry that her face turned red.  After that, Wen Wan saw something was wrong and stopped talking about the topic.  Maybe, she didn't understand these things as a child!

    ¡°However, it¡¯s too unfair to favor one over another.  This kind of partiality is too biased.  Wenwan feels deeply that her uncle is not worthy.  What's wrong with my uncle is that he has talent and ability.  No matter how good-looking a person is (bragging in disguise), there is no better person than this person who doesn't mean what he means.  What a biased and blind grandfather.

    Wen Wan thought so, as if she had a grudge against the pig's trotters under her.  I couldn't move the chopsticks, so I poked hard, took a small piece and put it in my mouth to chew hard.  Try to chew it into powder.

    The emperor couldn't help but smile when he saw that her attention was all on the food, and now she seemed to have hatred towards the food.  Gentleness has another advantage, a very good advantage.  Wen Wan has always known propriety.  Whatever she can do and listen to, she will do and listen to.  If it's something she can't do, she won't do it. If it's something she can't listen to, she will avoid it.  If you can't avoid it, just pretend to be stupid.  His mouth is also very porcelain, and he never says a word here to others.

    "Speaking of which, Wen Wan, my uncle has not seen you for four years. You have grown into a big girl after four years. Your uncle has brought you specialties from many places, as well as some rare good things. Wait a moment  , I will send someone to your mansion." After eating, King Zhao said to Wen Wan with a smile.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off outright. She loves money because Wenwan doesn¡¯t say it out loud, it¡¯s because she really likes money.  Then he happily stood up and said thank you.  King Zhao looked at it and smiled.

    In fact, she was doing it for King Zhao, but she really wanted to refuse.  But the rules here are weird, saying that if there is no very reasonable reason to refuse things given by elders, you must accept them.  In ancient times, people followed the bullshit words given by their elders.  Otherwise, you will not respect your elders.  Wen Wan had a severe toothache.

    King Zhao said a lot, trying to get closer to each other.  But being gentle means being polite, without taking a step forward or taking a step back.  King Zhao felt that all his enthusiasm was lost in the water.In Xianfu Palace, Concubine Xian also met the son she had been longing for day and night.  I was so excited that I burst into tears. I helped my son sit back on the collapse.  There was a lot of talk.  If Wen Wan were here, she would definitely say that this is the real mother-son family, so why pretend to be so friendly in front of her?

    As he said this, King Zhao was very angry when it came to what happened this time.  If Wen Wan hadn't acted as a bridge, this job would definitely have been his.  Unexpectedly, the old man got a huge advantage.  Let him gain a good reputation, and let the girl Wen Wan be praised by scholars and people all over the world.  And let this dead girl be named Yang Tian.

    "Concubine, that girl, the oil smoke can't get in. What should we do? How can we win her over." King Zhao was a little annoyed.  He had already expressed his kindness to her, but he was still neither far nor close.  He has never been rejected by these people.

    "You should stop thinking about it. If you want to imprison that girl, the mother-in-law doesn't have the ability. Don't have this idea either. You took advantage of her and had a bad attitude towards her. This child looks at  He's not a broad-minded person. As long as we don't fall out completely with him, we just need to maintain a superficial relationship from now on. By the way, I asked you to bring Siyue here, why didn't you bring her with you?  Come here?" King Zhao's eyes lit up after hearing Concubine Xian's words.

    But thinking about what happened just now, King Zhao's kind eyes suddenly dimmed again. "Mother, my father loves Wen Wan very much. This love is not as good as mine. What's the use of calling Siyue?"  I really didn't expect that my father would love this girl so much.

    Concubine Xian looked at her son, but she wouldn't criticize him for such a trivial matter. She didn't want to have a disagreement with her after returning home after not seeing each other for a few years, and make her unhappy. "I asked you to bring Siyue here."  , Of course there is a purpose. Why don¡¯t you bring her with you?¡±

    "Siyue happened to be caught in the cold and couldn't keep up with my schedule. When I came to the capital, I gave instructions that as soon as Siyue is well, someone will send her to the capital immediately." Yes, Siyue is the granddaughter of the father's direct biological father.  , and he looks exactly like his father, and his mouth is sweet, so he will definitely be loved by his father.  It's just that that little thief doesn't know if Siyue can do it!

    The mother and son talked for a long time, and King Zhao had something to do and left the palace.  With Concubine Xian's assurance, King Zhao felt much more relaxed.  Today he saw his father's love for Wen Wan, which was too much and made him feel uneasy!  Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law had already made plans.  I also let go of the stone that had been hanging in my heart.

    "Mother, is there something inappropriate about this? The emperor is so doting on Princess Wenwan and Princess Siyue, can the emperor be happy?" Aunt Guo said worriedly.

    "Wenwan is smart and caring, but she has a natural flaw. This is something she will never be able to compare with Siyue. This is why I asked Siyue to come to Beijing." Concubine Xian smiled.

    Wenwan can¡¯t speak, which is a fatal weakness for an old emperor.  Moreover, Wenwan matured too early because of the suffering she suffered when she was young.  Lost the liveliness and innocence that a child should have.  It's okay to get along for a day or two, but as time goes by, let alone disgust, at least there won't be the same love as now.

    ??Furthermore, everyone has one thing in common, especially the elderly.  That is, children who like to look like themselves.  I think that is the continuation of myself, or I can see what I looked like when I was young or young, so naturally I feel a little bit aggrieved.  Siyue has this advantage.  Because she looks a lot like the emperor.  As long as Siyue grasps it properly, she might not be able to take away half of Wen Wan's love.

    And, most importantly, for a child who lacks love, the love he just received from his relatives is suddenly snatched away.  There will definitely be violent conflicts in the middle.  Concubine Xian believes that when the emperor sees Wen Wan's narrow-mindedness and pampering, even if he won't be disgusted by her, at least he will feel displeased and gradually alienate her.  This is the result she really wants.

    Because she had her own plans, Concubine Xian didn¡¯t have much emotion about Wen Wan¡¯s current favor.  It is easy to gain temporary favor, but to gain the emperor's permanent favor is to reach heaven.  But she wanted to smash into pieces the ladder that King Zheng wanted to let Wen Wan ascend to the sky.

    If Wen Wan was really a ten-year-old child, and her grandfather, who had always loved her so much, suddenly gave most of his love to her cousins, she would definitely feel a little disappointed. If she was provoked by someone with intentions, she might be trapped like this.  Those who entered may have fallen into Concubine Xian's trap.  However, gentleness is the soul of an adult.  As an adult, he has experienced so many things, his will and intelligence are second to none, how can he compete with a teenage child for favor?

    If Wen Wan knew about Concubine Xian¡¯s wishful thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes.  If you want it, just take it. Why fight? It¡¯s interesting. It¡¯s true.  It's a complete waste of energy to plot against her.  One more emotion, cough, this?This is the tragedy of being an emperor, everything will be plotted.  (To be continued)
