Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian and Princess Siyue are outside asking for an audience." The messenger eunuch said from outside.

    Displeasure flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Let them in." Wen Wan hurriedly moved to the emperor's side, as if she was no longer afraid.

    Concubine Xian followed Siyue and waited outside.  Looking at Siyue, Concubine Xian was really annoyed and angry.  Siyue had just told her everything that happened in Yanghe Hall.  I didn't expect Wen Wan to be so powerful, nor did I expect that the emperor would dote on that girl so much.  It seems that she was really feeding a tiger back then.  Now, I can¡¯t kill or control it.  It really left such a big trouble behind.  After hearing this, he entered the Yanghe Hall.

    Wenwan looked at Siyue's eyes which were red and swollen, she must have just cried.  Concubine Xian was very calm and just glanced at Wen Wan casually.

    Wenwan looked at Siyue's sad look and lowered her head.  I feel very contemptuous in my heart, how can I pretend to be compassionate.  When they were about to beat the two maids next to her to death, she didn't say a word of mercy.  Now I'm pretending to be sad, and it's not true, and people can tell at a glance!  It's really scary to see a ten-year-old girl with such scheming and artificiality.

    When Wen Wan raised her head, she saw Concubine Xian looking at her with an invisible look.  Wen Wan looked at her eyes and her heart tightened.  I shivered, this was really scary, and I quickly lowered my head.

    Although the emperor did not show any fear when he looked at Wen Wan, looking at him like this, the fear he showed just now was more real.  This girl's emotions were all expressed on her face, and she couldn't even hide them. The emperor shook his head secretly.  This girl.  It¡¯s still too tender!

    Concubine Xian came here to plead guilty, saying that she had not managed the palace affairs well.  Ask the emperor to punish her.  The emperor was very easy to talk to, and only said that those servants had impure thoughts and it was none of her business.

    "You go down and teach the slaves below well from now on. Well, Siyue, you can stay too." Seeing that Siyue was about to leave, the emperor asked Siyue to stay.  Concubine Xian had doubts in her heart, but she still left respectfully.

    The emperor looked at the two children and smiled and said, "Siyue, haven't you always said you wanted to go and see the treasure house. Wenwan, you have also always said you want to go and broaden your horizons. Let's go and have a look today."

    Siyue was very happy when she heard this.  Wen Wan's eyes brightened after hearing this, and she temporarily put the fear behind her head.  Unexpectedly, there will be an unexpected surprise today.  Wen Wan has indeed always wanted to broaden her horizons, but has never had the chance.

    Si Ye asked with some disbelief, "Grandpa Huang. Did Si Yue hear you right? Are you going to the treasure house? The treasure house where the world's most valuable treasures are stored?"

    The emperor smiled and nodded.  She knew that Siyue was happy to get the treasure inside.  But seeing Wen Wan's appearance, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why, Wen Wan is also interested in wearing a rare piece of jewelry?" Wen Wan is like this, and she wishes she could go out every day without wearing anything.  It¡¯s better if the bun is bare.  I usually only wear light silk flowers, but when did I become interested in jewelry?

    If you know Wen Wan, you will definitely shake your head.  She doesn't like wearing so many expensive jewelry because it's really heavy.  But not liking to wear it doesn't mean that she doesn't like jewelry.  Women are born with a love for beautiful things.  This meeting the emperor asked.  In addition, she had also heard that there were many treasures in the emperor's private treasury.  Those treasures.  Many of them are rare to see in a century.  The reason is very simple. The things inside are the collections of emperors from Taizu to the present.  It goes without saying that it is extremely precious.  Wen Wan had heard of it before and said she would try it out when she had the chance.

    So when the emperor asked Wen Wan what she meant, Wen Wan nodded hurriedly, saying that she wanted to take a look and see how many treasures were inside.

    The emperor took the two female dolls to the treasure house, and there was everything in it.  Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, huge diamond gems, round and hard-to-find gems, huge luminous pearls.  Every treasure you can name is found here.  And each one is rare.

    Wen Wan looked straight at those eyes.  It's like a wolf seeing a sheep.  Wen Wan looked over the same.  I touched everything and felt very happy.

    Siyue also took it like this.  Put it down again, look at the good, put it down again and pick up something better.  Wen Wan didn't know how to choose, and kept admiring every treasure inside.  Let¡¯s not talk about whether we can take it or not, we have to get over it first.

    The emperor looked at his granddaughter and granddaughter.  Both of them had shining eyes, but one was looking at Shu, and the other was just observing everything carefully, without any desire to take possession of it.  He smiled and said, "You two can each choose one, and I will give it to you."

    Siyue looked at so many treasures in the room and heard that she could only choose one, which made her heart ache.

    Wen Wanzi didn¡¯t seem to hear the emperor¡¯s words. After reading it, she put it down and went downstairs.?Look.  There was also a painting among them. I opened it and looked at it, blinking for a long time.  This painting is honored as a divine product from heaven.  But I just looked at it and put it back.  Continue to look at everything, and try to see more of two things.  There are not many opportunities like this.

    Siyue picked out three pieces of jewelry, each of which was valuable and rare.  Siyue made her choice and looked at the emperor. The emperor just smiled and said nothing else.  Siyue had no choice but to accept her fate, choosing this one and letting go of that one. After choosing for a long time, she still couldn't make up her mind.

    But Wen Wan now opened a brocade box with a pair of bowls inside.  Yue kiln celadon lotus petal bowl.  The lotus bowl consists of two parts: the bowl and the holder.  The bowl has a straight mouth and a deep belly. The outer wall is decorated with three groups of lotus flowers in relief. The holder is shaped like a bean. The upper part is a turned-out plate with two groups of double hooks and upward lotuses. The lower part is an outward-facing circle foot and is decorated with two groups of relief lotus coverings.  .  The bowl consists of seven groups of lotus flowers in various forms.  The porcelain body is gray-white in color, with fine and dense texture, uniform and pure particles, and a flat core. There is a small round hole in the center that leads directly to the bottom of the vessel.  The bowl is as smooth as jade, as clear and green as a tranquil lake.  It was once described as a lake-green color like "a clear stream of spring water". It has a solid and dignified shape, moderate proportions, smooth lines, plump and gorgeous, and the whole body is like a blooming lotus. It is ingeniously conceived and natural.

    " Such exquisite things, Wen Wan had to say after looking at them, the emperor has so many good things in his private treasury.  Each one is a rare treasure.  She really wished she had ten pairs of eyes to read it all.

    The emperor looked at Wen Wan looking at the Yue kiln celadon lotus petal bowl without blinking.  He smiled and said, "When our Wan'er gets married, grandpa will give this to you as a dowry." In ancient times, lotus flowers symbolized good luck and happiness.  Very suitable as a wedding gift.

    The corners of Wen Wan's mouth twitched. She was only a few years old and she was already talking about dowry.  However, in order to see two more treasures and gain more knowledge, she did not respond to this topic.  Keep searching.

    Siyue couldn¡¯t make up her mind and finally looked at Wen Wan.  Seeing Wen Wan looking at other things with great interest.  He turned back to his thoughts, looked at the two pieces of jewelry he had selected in his hand, gritted his teeth for the last time, and put the things in his left hand back.  He took something from his right hand.  There was still a severe pain in my body.

    "Wen Wan, pick one and go." The emperor looked at her and couldn't help but laugh.  The look of this girl really makes people laugh.

    Wen Wan shook her head, just about to say that she didn't like it.  Just don¡¯t want it.  Suddenly, I found a box carved with simple patterns stored on a high shelf. The box was dusty.  Bland.  Looking at those words, Wen Wan felt that they must be something from a long time ago.  Wen Wan looked at it as if she felt something in her heart.  Feeling that it must be a rare treasure, he pointed at it.  The eunuch next to him hurriedly brought it over.  Pass it to Wen Wan.  Wenwan opened the box and dazzled her eyes.

    Siyue craned her neck to look.  She felt at a loss.  She picked up a set of peony and jade head and face jewelry. Although it was a top-quality treasure, compared with the gentle guy, she was at a huge loss.  When she saw that there was a chessboard in the box, she lost interest.

    Inside is a chessboard, which is actually made of a whole piece of jade.  Jade has a fine, dense texture, a moist luster, and a greasy glass luster.  There are nineteen equidistant, vertically intersecting parallel lines on the board, forming a total of 19x19=361 intersection points.  The texture of each line is very clear, and the size and thickness are all the same.  The carving is extremely fine.  There are also four words "Linglong Chessboard" written on the front of the chessboard.  There is a poem written on the other side. The handwriting is dignified and elegant, floating like floating clouds.  Flags are placed next to the chessboard.  Among them, the white ones are made of white jade; the black ones are made of black jade.  Each one is crystal clear, round, pure and flawless.

    Wen Wan looked stunned.  This chessboard is made of the finest mutton-fat white jade.  A chessboard made of such a large piece of white jade?  The chess pieces are also made of suet-fat white jade and black jade.

    When she came back to her senses, Wen Wan was excited.  She had been wanting to find a good chessboard for the past few years, but because of her scruples, she just held back.  I didn¡¯t expect that this would turn out to be an unintentional mistake!  Could anything excite her more?

    Wen Wan excitedly touched it, touching the chessboard and then the chess pieces.  If I could get this chessboard, it would really be my dream come true!  Although it is Go, not chess, it still fulfills my dream!

    Wen Wan was ecstatic, and the joy on her face could not be concealed.  In fact, as a chess player and a chess master, it is normal to want to have a satisfying chess board.  Because this is the dream of all chess masters, and it is also her dream.

    "Wen Wan, have you taken a fancy to this exquisite chess set?" The emperor was surprised. This exquisite chess set is one of the most precious pieces in the treasure house, and it is inconspicuous even if it is placed inside.  I didn't expect Wen Wan to have such good taste.

    Wen Wan nodded with a smile, expressing his favorite, his eyes were hot.  That look couldn't be more obvious, she?Want this thing, fervently desire it.

    In fact, the emperor often rewarded Wen Wan before, and many of the objects inside were rare treasures.  But Wenwan always had an indifferent attitude.  You kept it for me, and there was joy in your eyes, but you could tell from that look that you were happy because the things were valuable and gentle.  If you don't give it, she won't be sad either.

    Seeing her looking so eager now is the first time the emperor has seen her.  To be honest, this was the first time the emperor saw Wen Wan's expression.  He probably really saw what was in his heart. It's rare. It's rare that Wen Wan is so discerning and wants something so much.  However, this thing is not an ordinary thing.  The emperor then thought about what he had said before, as long as he picked it, he would give it to them, and he could not deny it. He smiled and said, "Yes, but you have to play a game with grandpa. If you can beat grandpa, grandpa will give it to you."

    Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, then she felt happy.  But his face still showed a risk-taking attitude.  Although she had never seen the emperor play Go, she had seen the emperor's grandfather play chess.  She believed that if she went all out, she would not be 100% guaranteed to win, but she was still very sure of a draw.  As for the probability of winning, Wen Wan is 70% sure.  The emperor had so many things to do, how could he have so much time to study chess?  But unlike her, she studies chess whenever she has time.

    Siyue was not embarrassed at first, but after Wen Wan took her out, she was stunned.  In turn, I felt distressed.  This is the finest mutton-fat white jade. She is really good at picking it, and she picked such a priceless treasure with one pick.  Then what I picked was tantamount to rubbish compared to hers.  At this moment, she was filled with regret.

    "Let's go, go back to the palace." The emperor could give Siyue time to regret.

    With the wind at her feet, Wen Wan followed the emperor back to Yanghe Hall. Wen Wan held the white piece and the emperor held the black piece.  Wen Wan saw Siyue who had followed them back and looked at her eagerly, with no intention of leaving at all.  Looking at her, she was holding a chess piece in her hand, and then looking at Wen Wan, her face became more defensive.  That look seemed to say that she was afraid that Siyue would take advantage of her chess game and stab her in the back.  The emperor looked at the panicked look for a moment.

    "Siyue, go back to Xianfu Palace!" The emperor looked at Wen Wan's expression and wanted to have a good game with Wen Wan to see how this girl's chess skills were.

    Siyue really didn¡¯t want to go out, but the emperor spoke up and refused to go out.

    So, one old man and one young man laid out their chess pieces and started killing each other.  Wen Wan initially confused the emperor and made two wrong chess pieces.  The emperor was so happy that he was prepared to stay for a while and show mercy.  The emperor watched Wen Wan make several wrong moves in succession, and felt very happy. He must win her, and as long as she made him happy, it was not a big deal to reward her.

    As the rain continued, the emperor's expression became cautious.  After a quarter of an hour, the emperor's face became serious.  In two quarters of an hour, Wen Wan won the game with half a piece of advantage.

    Wenwan didn¡¯t wait for the emperor to say anything, so she picked up the chessboard and put it in the box aside.  He placed it carefully, with an expression that felt like a baby bump, smiling happily.  Eunuch Wen came over to help her, Wen Wan was as alert as a cheetah guarding against others snatching the food in her hand.  The emperor smiled happily.

    Not to mention the emperor, even Eunuch Wen pursed his lips and smiled when he saw Wen Wan's silly look.  This princess is really a living treasure.  Look at the proud and money-obsessed look on his face.  However, he did not stop the work at hand and added more tea to the two of them.

    As I write this, I suddenly want to say two things in particular.  I seem to have grown up with the heroine.  Before, the heroine was afraid of killing people, but I was afraid of being criticized.  Now that the heroine has killed someone, Wen doesn¡¯t know how many times he¡¯s been sprayed, but it¡¯s like a miracle that I¡¯m not afraid of being sprayed anymore.  Haha, I have been criticized quite a lot during this period, but these dozen chapters are the most difficult ones for me to write.  Fortunately, at this stage, I finally finished writing Ami Tofu.  (To be continued)
