Xia Ying looked at Wen Wan who had fallen asleep, feeling very sad in her heart. Others don't know it, but she, as a gentle personal maid, knows it best.
The princess is not only timid, but also distrustful of people. If this time, the princess directly told the emperor that Princess Siyue wanted to murder her, then Princess Siyue would not be as good as she is now. Now in the palace, Princess Siyue is favored by the emperor, but the princess has to hide in this villa and pretend that nothing is wrong. Even if you don't tell the emperor, there is no need to come to Zhuangzi. You can live in the palace.
She really didn¡¯t understand what the princess was thinking. If the princess cannot trust people from the palace, she can understand. After all, there was a virtuous concubine separated from the palace. But the princess couldn't believe even the emperor or the prince, and she couldn't believe it, so she found it incredible. No one can see how kind the emperor and prince are to the princess. If she wanted to harm her, she would still be alive today. I don¡¯t understand what the princess is thinking.
¡°And she really didn¡¯t know what the princess was worried about. She never took her in when she entered the Yanghe Palace. She had no choice but to send him outside the hall and let her wait in the study. If it hadn't been like this, Siyue wouldn't have succeeded last time. But after suffering a big loss, the princess still didn't remember the loss and didn't allow her to follow him into the Yanghe Palace. If she hadn't reacted very quickly last time, the princess would probably still be lying in bed now! She really couldn't figure out what the princess was thinking. If she wanted to harm her, she would have died countless times if she didn't have to wait until now.
She couldn¡¯t figure it out, but it was hard to say anything about it. But thinking about the people around her, whom the princess trusted the most, she felt a little more balanced. At least although the princess won't tell her everything, she will know everything she needs to know. He never avoids himself when doing things. Maybe so. The princess must have considered it herself. She just did her part.
Wen Wan didn¡¯t know what Xia Ying was thinking, and even if she knew, she wouldn¡¯t explain it. There are some things that should be avoided and must be avoided. Just like in her previous life, when she was the top leader of a department, outsiders were not allowed to enter her office unless something happened.
Not to mention being an emperor, the highest commander-in-chief of a country. He can pamper you and love you, but you must be measured. There is a bottom line for some things, and you can't just do whatever you want. Being young or ignorant is no excuse. Besides, the Emperor's Hall of Yanghe was also the place where he worked, so if anything went wrong. Just Xia Ying's temper and temperament. Who knows whether Xia Ying will be framed at that time. Not only would it cause trouble for her, but she might also be framed by Uncle Zheng. Although she could not help her uncle, she did not want to hold her back.
As for framing her, Wen Wan never thinks about this issue. She was not interested in this and never read the emperor's memorials. in the emperor's absence. There is no way to enter the Yanghe Palace. Even if you want to frame her, you can't find a way to frame her. At most, he would just use the dirty methods from before.
As for the distrust of the emperor and Prince Zheng. She didn't believe in the emperor and was on guard. She couldn't see through the emperor's way of doing things. And there was an intuition that she felt as if everything was under the control of the emperor, but he could watch things happen indifferently, as if he didn't know. Just like this time. She felt that the emperor should know that she was murdered, but. The emperor did not take any measures. Just like last time, Siyue still hurts. Such people scare her. It's normal to feel defensive.
As for Prince Zheng, she didn¡¯t say she was on guard. It¡¯s just that she was an adult and didn¡¯t think of asking Prince Zheng to help her get justice. Besides, Uncle Zheng was in such a difficult situation, so he still didn't want to find anything for him to do. You should resolve your own matters by yourself. Although there is no evidence this time, those words have been spoken. The emperor's grandfather knew it, and he had an idea in his mind. She couldn't rely on anything else. That hellish man. It can still be one day away, and one day less close. As for the future. We¡¯ll talk about the rest later. If you can come out for some air, live a comfortable life for two days and enjoy your current life first.
Wenwan suddenly became interested as she looked at the beautiful scenery outside. Someone brought a drawing board over and prepared to draw a winter picture. Outline one thick line and one thin line on the paper.
Xia Ying looked at it for a long time before asking, "Princess, what are you painting?"
Wenwan gave her a look, a woman who has no eyesight. What is this, of course it is a painting. Xia Ying looked at Wen Wan and couldn't help but laugh.
Wen Wan glared at her angrily with dissatisfaction. Her level was not bad, so why should she laugh at her.
I remember that when she first returned to Wen¡¯s house, her grandma looked down on her for being unworthy of publicity, and was also very annoyed by her rude behavior. So she first hired four tutors: etiquette, painting, piano, and calligraphy. But she was not very talented. The last thing she learned was etiquette, she barely passed the test in calligraphy, and her teacher rated her painting as poor.Not hard enough. However, with the careful guidance of her teacher, her painting is now at a second-rate level.
Although she is only at a second-rate level, Wen Wan is just enjoying herself. She does not need to be a great painter, nor does she need to rely on this to become famous or make money. Later, the teacher guided me for a period of time, and my level improved a lot. Wen Wan hummed in her heart. After finishing the painting for a while, she realized that she had no vision.
Xia Ying just looked at Wen Wan's three-and-threes, one was thick and the other was thin, and the other was deep and light, so he was scribbling on the drawing paper. Unexpectedly, not long after, a towering mountain peak jumped into view. Xia Ying looked at the painting, and when she saw Wen Wan again, she didn't even look at her, lowered her head and smiled.
Wen Wan was particularly happy when she saw her extraordinary craftsmanship. With this painting alone, no one will ever say that she didn¡¯t paint cells. It is estimated that even the teacher would praise it after seeing it. It has improved a lot. Wen Wan was very satisfied and decided to go back and have the master frame it and hang it in her study as a sign of encouragement. Others don't know how to appreciate it, but I know how to appreciate it. This is art, an abstract painting.
Wenwan has always been a person who cherishes blessings and is also a person who can entertain himself. She had a very comfortable life at the hot spring resort. Play chess, write, and play the flute every day. I was really bored, so I gave Rang a drawing board and started her abstract painting.
Xia Ying on the side looked at it and didn¡¯t know whether to admire or sigh. The princess should not have been born into the royal family, but into a family with a century-old scholarly family. In other words, the princess should not be born as a girl. If she were born as a boy, she would definitely be a hermit with a reputation far and wide. Pity.
The emperor got Wenwan and was as happy as a god in the hot spring village, feeling indescribably weird in his heart. This child, it turns out, really doesn't want to live such a life. I originally wanted her to come back, but thinking about Dr. Wang's words, it was better to let her stay there. After this period of relaxation, it will be fine if you get used to it. In real life, it is usually not determined by human consciousness. The path we should take must be taken. Escape is also inevitable.
"Princess, there is a letter from Prince Zheng asking you to go back." Xia Ying took the letter and Wen Wan threw it aside without even looking at it. What's there to see? It's cold and not fun when I go back to the capital. There are also intrigues and plots. It's annoying.
Where is the fun, comfort and fun here? Get up every day and do some boxing, sweat and soak in hot springs, and then do whatever you want. Take a dip in the hot springs at night and then go to bed. You will have a great sleep. No worries, no need to worry about this or that, no need to worry about being framed or wronged, what a pleasant life. Don't go back.
But Wen Wan knew that it would be a month before she came to Zhuangzi. Princess Zheng and Princess Zhao moved to the capital with all their people. All came from the Great Migration. This means that the emperor really intends to select a prince among King Zhao and King Zheng.
?? Princess Zhao comes from a distinguished family and is a truly noble girl. My grandfather was a great historian of the feudal territory and has now retired from politics. My father is also a great historian of the feudal territory. My eldest uncle is also an important official in the local area. My brothers are all serving as officials in the court, and the family members are ready to go out.
"Compared with Princess Zhao, Princess Zheng's family background is much worse. Princess Zheng's father is also a second-rank official, and her family has been a scholarly family for hundreds of years. It's just that in Princess Zheng's mother's family, the Guo family, only her brother passed the imperial examination and became an official, and his position was relatively good. The others got in through connections, and they were all sesame and mung bean officials. Not to mention helping King Zheng, but not to drag him down, thank God.
Fortunately, although the emperor was partial, he was not too partial. Although their family background is worse than that of Princess Zhao, the two princesses are comparable in appearance, talent, knowledge, and virtue. It is also estimated that the emperor really focused on King Zhao at the beginning.
But what is puzzling is that Princess Zheng gave birth to three sons and a daughter one after another. All three sons were raised, but the youngest daughter was not raised. Up to now, King Zheng has nine sons, among whom the eldest son is quite talented and has a simple and honest temperament. Among the other sons, the fifth was born to a concubine and was a very outstanding child.
"And Princess Zhao gave birth to three daughters and one son. One daughter died in infancy, and the younger son was still in poor health. He was always sick and was considered a sick child. King Zhao has only four descendants so far. The legitimate son is in poor health, the other three and two are concubines, whose status is lower, and the remaining one, who is a concubine, has a decent status, but is mediocre in talent and knowledge, and is not clever and clumsy. This was the thing that annoyed King Zhao the most, and it was also something he had no choice about. It's not that he doesn't work hard, but this kind of thing really depends on God's will. This was also the only place where King Zhao lost to King Zheng before Wen Wan appeared.
The relationship between Wen Wan and Prince Zheng is very sensitive to many people. But the uncle and nephew are as close as father and daughter. Now that Princess Zheng is back, Wen Wan, as a junior, should go back to meet her aunt, plus there are so many letters urging her to go back.
Even the people around me tried to persuade me several times. But Wenwan still stayed there. Once back, it's annoying. There is definitely no way to escape being plotted, and your life is in danger. (To be continued)
