Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    King Chun remembered what Master Awakening said about Wen Wan's fate, and there were constant twists and turns.  Looking at Wen Wan now, I sighed secretly in my heart, how could such a stunningly talented woman not have enough courage to suppress her.  Regarding the matter between Wen Wan and his son, King Chun had a thousand and ten thousand objections.  I feel nostalgic for my son since Wen Wan left.  Wen Wan, on the other hand, seemed to be nothing, and could remain calm when seeing his son.  This gap made him doubt whether Wen Wan had really liked his son.  Or, just pure use.

    Of course, King Chun knew that Wen Wan might have feelings for his son, but this love was not deep enough.  At least not as much as his son.  For the sake of his son's future and his safety, he absolutely cannot agree to this marriage.  No matter how hard Wen Wan tried, he would not agree.

    Wen Wan arrived at Prince Zheng¡¯s place and saw four people sitting there.  When she came down, another seat became vacant next to King Zheng.  Wen Wan walked forward and saw that King Zheng still had no expression on his face.

    "Sit down!" King Zheng didn't understand what his father meant.  This is a banquet for the courtiers. Although it is said to be an annual banquet, you can also bring your family members.  But everyone had a tacit understanding and did not bring their families.  There are only Concubines Xian, Concubine De and some other concubines.  But the father caught Wen Wan here.  And she was allowed to appear in front of the clan officials in such a grand way.  As if telling everyone that Wen Wan has recovered from her illness and is back in Beijing.

    After Wen Wan heard this, she didn¡¯t shirk it and sat between Prince Zheng and Qi Yan¡¯s eldest cousin.

    Qi Yan remembers the first time he brought Wen Wan into the Hall of Wende. Wen Wan didn't understand anything and kept asking questions. Later, he even made an mistake by forgetting to take the gift.  certainly.  Afterwards, Qi Yan was very suspicious that Wen Wan deliberately forgot to take the gift and wanted to give her own gift.  She looked gentle now, and the childishness on her face was long gone. She had already undergone earth-shaking changes from the little girl four years ago.  Not everyone has this kind of magnanimity.  At least Qi Yan knew that the two royal sisters in the palace would never have such magnanimity.

    Wen Wan sat there for two minutes. Seeing that everyone around her was treating her seriously, she naturally would not be that special person.  He is also looking towards the imperial seat.

    The emperor said a few words as a prelude.  a while.  The serving eunuch shouted loudly: "Let's have a banquet and serve it with singing and dancing! Serve up the royal wine!"

    Wen Wan glanced at the emperor, then at Prince Zheng, and saw that he didn't know who he was looking at.  I had to ask my eldest cousin.  There were actually two young men beside Qi Yan, the fifth and sixth cousins ??he had met before.  But she was only familiar with her eldest cousin.  Not familiar with the others.  This was the last time we really met.  Of course, gentle to a few cousins.  That third cousin is a bit interesting, the little cousin is quite cute.  It's a pity, because Wenwan has her own calculations and taboos.  Didn't plan to interact too much with any of my cousins.

    Wen Wan wrote on Qi Yan's hand, "How can there be singing and dancing? Why wasn't there last time?"

    Qi Yan couldn't help but smile when he saw her asking a question.  It seems like five years have passed.  This gentle nature has not changed.  He likes to ask questions at banquets. "Today is a banquet. We are entertaining courtiers, so naturally there will be singing and dancing to add to the fun. Last time it was the birthday of the emperor, and everyone came to celebrate his birthday. The time was too tight, so there would be no singing and dancing.  ¡±

    Wen Wan nodded.  Then I saw the maids standing in the corner of the palace coming forward to pour wine for everyone. Wen Wan smelled the aroma of the wine and knew that this was the royal wine.  With his face showing his lust, King Zheng, who had always regarded himself as a sculpture, turned his head and said, "Qi Yan, I will take good care of your cousin later. I will only give her one drink at most. She is not allowed to drink more." After saying that, he turned back, okay  It's not like he was the one who spoke just now.

    Wen Wan raised her mouth and asked, "What?"  She usually only drinks two small drinks at night, and she needs to be guarded against her like a thief.  Really.  A petty uncle, a bad uncle.

    Qi Yan looked at Wen Wan with a dissatisfied expression, which was like the expression a child should have.  However, I am still very pleased with the interaction between Wen Wan and her father.  This proves that the relationship between father and cousin is still as close as father and daughter.  There was no quarrel because of what happened before.

    Seeing the emperor¡¯s toast, the princes, grandsons, royal dignitaries and ministers of civil and military affairs also raised their glasses in agreement.  The first cup of royal wine was raised, the sheng, Xiao, and flute were played first, and then all the music played in unison.

    After the music sounded, dozens of dancers poured out from both sides of the hall corner. Each woman was dressed like a fairy, dancing gracefully to the moving melody.

    Wen Wan looked forward and saw that all of them were fifteen or sixteen years old, in the prime of life.  And all of them are very beautiful.  Hey, why did she realize that there are beauties everywhere here, but she is not the only one!

    King Zheng turned around and found that Wen Wan was in a daze and her expression was not very good.  Asking, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? If not, please leave early."

    Wen Wan pursed her lips and wrote on Prince Zheng's hand, "How come everyone is beautiful, but I am just mediocre. I don't know what will happen when I grow up."Will she become a beauty, or will she be thrown into the crowd and not be found?  "

    King Zheng was very annoyed when he felt what Wen Wan had written, and stared at Wen Wan with hatred.  Seeing that Wen Wan didn't seem to know what was wrong, she lowered her head and warned sternly, "It's ridiculous, how can a phoenix flying in the sky be willing to compare with Yunni. You are not allowed to say such things again. There will be a next time. You will be punished and copied ten times.  Female ring.¡±

    Wenwan puffed up her gills, lowered her head and stopped talking.  It's very aggrieved to look like that.

    King Zheng became angrier when he saw her like that. A noble princess actually stooped down to compare herself with the singing girl.  To be known, you have to be despised and become a joke.  I don¡¯t know what King Chun taught me.  I haven't learned anything this year.  This girl turned stupid as soon as she returned to the palace. "Wen Wan, did you hear what your uncle said?"

    Seeing King Zheng¡¯s angry expression, Wen Wan smiled sweetly.  She did it on purpose just now. Seeing that her uncle always looked expressionless, she wanted to make Uncle Zheng break the trick when she played a prank.  I didn't expect it to be really broken.

    King Zheng looked at the gentle and proud smile, and a happy smile even flashed in his eyes.  Write a line on his hand.  If it hadn't been for the banquet, Wen Wan probably wouldn't have been able to escape this punishment.

    Wen Wan looked at Uncle Zheng¡¯s expression and laughed.  What she just wrote was: Uncle, don¡¯t always keep a straight face, just like others who owe you a lot of money.  Smile more, smile a little, ten years will be less.

    King Zheng looked at him with a gentle and cunning look.  When he understood the meaning of what Wen Wan wrote, his unsmiling face showed anger.  This girl, after playing outside for a year, has really become a crazy girl.  No big or small.  Although he is more severe on the surface, he is still very useful in his heart.

    Wen Wan watched King Zheng staring at him, his eyes full of warning.  Wen Wan thought that King Zheng was saying that he would settle the score with you later.  So he raised his head.  She is not afraid. After the banquet is over, she will go back to her grandfather.  There was nothing his uncle could do to help her.  Anyway, the emperor's grandfather loved her the most and would definitely protect her.

    King Zheng looked at Wen Wan's expression and naturally knew what she was thinking, "Just stay still. Otherwise, I will give you the female ring ten times. Don't think that because your father is supporting you, you will have nothing to worry about."

    Wenwan naturally knows.  If Uncle Zheng really planned to punish him, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.  The emperor¡¯s grandfather probably wouldn¡¯t stop it either.  Therefore, after Wenwan, she was very obedient and didn't speak again.

    Qi Yan watched the interaction between the two.  He lowered his head and smiled.  The other Qi Xuan blinked his eyes.  Qi Feng felt that this cousin was really as brave as the sky.

    Wen Wan really doesn¡¯t know the interaction between their uncle and nephew.  It has long been noticed by those who pay close attention here.  I don¡¯t even know how many turns I have turned.

    Soon, the food arrived.  Everyone else is using the same plate.  There is only food sent to Wenwan.  The plates used are different.  The crystal dish was used, which was better than anyone present.  This is just for her.  No one had any idea about this, after all, Wen Wan was recovering from her illness.  There are many things that are taboo.  But there was one person whose heart was filled with resentment.

    Wen Wan naturally felt an unkind gaze staring at her.  Looking along the feeling, I saw Siyue looking at her as if she were an enemy.

    Wenwan glanced back, then lowered her head and continued eating.  Is this person crazy or stupid? What does it look like in public?  I don¡¯t know if Siyue is going back as she grows older.  Wen Wan, on the other hand, didn't take Siyue's anger to heart at all.  Just eat with your head down.

    Wenwan ate what was on the plate.  She realized that she had lost money.  The food here is much better than last time.  It's a pity that I'm six points full now. Well, it seems that I will have to find out the news in advance in the future.  Save yourself the trouble.  Because I'm full.  It will eat like a bird pecking at food.

    too boring.  Wen Wan occasionally looks around.  The emperor's grandfather watched the dance with relish, and the ministers in the audience were also watching the dance attentively. There were people drinking and drinking in the hall, and they were enjoying themselves for a while.

    Wenwan feels bored, but boredom has to be endured.  From time to time, he pulled his eldest cousin along and asked Qi Yan many questions.  Qi Yan explained to her patiently without showing any signs of impatience. He looked at her gently and nodded slightly.  Although the eldest cousin lacks courage, he has a very good temperament.

    Next to them, Fifth Master Qi Xuan and Sixth Master Qi Feng occasionally interjected a few words.  It's quite enjoyable.  The two of them wanted to say more, but seeing Wen Wan's unfamiliar attitude toward them, Qi Xuan hesitated.  Qi Feng was a little embarrassed.  But fortunately, everyone was kind to me, so it wasn't too bad.

    Wen Wan was in the middle and secretly glanced at Yan Qixuan.  Wen Wan looked at the guy secretly dozing off and chuckled. This was only what this guy could do.  He is not afraid that grandpa will punish him for a serious crime of disrespect.

    Yan Qixuan felt that someone was looking at him, and he felt a littleAnnoyed, he turned around and saw Wen Wan looking at him.  Wen Wan saved his life, but he wasn't doing well either.

    When Wen Wan saw that he was looking at him, she didn't dodge and smiled at Yan Qixuan.  That smile is as bright as a blooming flower.

    Yan Qixuan looked at Wen Wan smiling brightly at her, and for some reason, her heart was beating wildly.  He quickly lowered his head.  Don't dare to look at Wen Wan again.

    Wen Wan looked at Yan Qixuan's movements and couldn't help but laugh.

    King Chun felt something strange about his son and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

    Yan Qixuan felt the strange feeling he had just now, and felt very angry.  Unexpectedly, Wen Wan dared to tease him in public, which was really abominable.  But although he was angry in his heart, he still cared about Wen Wan being his savior.  He didn't say what Wen Wan wanted to tease him, and he couldn't ask him again.  After all, they didn't do anything.  However, he turned around and asked another question, asking King Chun, "Father, I heard someone say before that Princess Wen Wan has some reputations, and everyone who comes in contact with him can be conquered by him. Father,  Is what you said true?" He said something.  Instead of being a monster, he is already showing mercy.

    After hearing this, King Chun moved his mouth and said, "It's nothing. I'm just smarter. Don't listen to the nonsense of people outside."

    Yan Qixuan looked at his father and shook his head, "I also know that this is a bit false. But Princess Wenwan, who has been recovering in Zhuangzi for a year, can still be so favored by the emperor. I have to admire her."  The subtext of the words is that Wen Wan is very powerful.  Although Yan Qixuan is not a director, he is also a veritable dandy.  But that doesn't mean he's stupid.  Besides, before, Luo Shouxun always praised Princess Wen Wan for being smart and powerful, etc., and I heard it too often.  Yan Qixuan also felt disgusted in his heart.  Such a woman who is very deep in the city and good at calculations must stay three feet away from her.

    King Chun smiled kindly, "There's no need to admire me. It's just a girl's family, not a man's. Women who are too smart are not good. You'd better stay away." Since you can't persuade Wen Wan, then just  I was able to persuade my son.  The key point of persuading his son is to keep his son away from Wen Wan.  The man's talent is outstanding.  That will be the pillar of the imperial court.  Women are too powerful. If King Zheng really ascends the throne as emperor in the future, it will only keep all the men away.  Even if he is a prince, if he doesn¡¯t have other plans.  I definitely wouldn't marry such a homely Tai Sui back home.  Therefore, Master Enlightenment said that the marriage is not going well.  It must be true.  However, Master Awakening said that her marriage will be happy. I really don¡¯t know what kind of person will be able to marry Wen Wan home in the future.  And he had to be able to control her, so the two of them lived a stable life.  Of course, King Chun didn't know who it was, but King Chun knew one thing very clearly that this person would definitely not be his son.

    Yan Qixuan nodded after hearing this, "Father is right." If a woman is too smart and powerful, she will have a strong desire to control.  Such a woman.  He will never marry someone home.

    After Wen Wan left, Princess Chun instilled in Yan Qixuan the idea of ??marrying a virtuous wife.  Too smart, too strong.  If you are too controlling, you will marry him back in the future.  It will definitely cause disharmony in the palace and cause chaos.  If one's status were more valuable, it would be even more unsettling to have the support of one's mother's family in the future.  Princess Chun told Yan Qixuan that she and Prince Chun still wanted to entertain their grandchildren when they were old and live a peaceful old age, but they did not want to cause chaos in the mansion.  With these words, he almost said famously that he must not marry a woman like Wen Wan.

    And Yan Qixuan listened more, and naturally he became wary.  Therefore, the first thing Yan Qixuan must avoid is to marry a smart, powerful, and noble woman.  If he really marries such a woman, he will definitely not have the final say in the family affairs in the future.  Marry someone who is obedient and easy to handle, so that when he and Fu Xi are together in the future, there will be no resistance and no fear of being restrained.

    Wen Wan doesn¡¯t know the interaction between Yan Qixuan and Prince Chun, let alone what Yan Qixuan thinks.  You know, definitely going to faint.

    She will now focus on the sons of King Zhao.  Looking at King Zhao's three sons, the younger two, Wen Wan, felt there was nothing outstanding about them.  But the oldest one has a gentle face and sharp eyes.  Wen Wan hadn't heard much about this person before. He was not known to the outside world, but now looking at it, he must also be a secretive person.

    It seems that I heard before that I have started to help King Zhao deal with things.  In the past few months, Wen Wan has heard several gossips about this person, and they all said that he was very good and very powerful.  Although King Zhao is very popular with the outside world, in fact, King Zhao still has a hidden worry.  That is, his legitimate son is very young, only six years old, five years younger than Wen Wan.  He is also in very poor health, and it is still unknown whether he will survive to adulthood.  At this time, the eldest son seemed to appear out of nowhere.  You know, Prince Zhao's Mansion has not yet established a heir apparent.  This is a huge hidden danger.  Wen Wan heard that the palace of Prince Zhao was much more lively than the palace of Prince Zheng.

    ?King Zhao looked at Wen Wan's actions and squeezed the cup in his hand.  Unexpectedly, this girl actually made her idea come to Prince Chun's Mansion.  If Lao Ba gets the support of Prince Chun's Mansion, then Lao Ba's power will be greatly reduced.

    And the eldest son of King Zhao, Qi Qian.  He found that Wen Wan was looking at him carefully, and gave Wen Wan a very kind smile.

    Seeing him respond to her, Wen Wan responded with a bright smile.  He quickly turned back, took a piece of pastry, and ate it slowly.  This young man looked like he was showing kindness to himself.  However, Wenwan felt cold.  Such a person has not been well-known in Princess Zhao and Prince Zhao's mansion for so many years.  As soon as he arrived in the capital, he showed off his head and feet in front of everyone.  He must be an extraordinary person.

    Wenwan discovered that she could not match any of her eyes.  He never raised his head again.

    According to the rules in the palace, it¡¯s New Year¡¯s Eve.  They all set off fireworks.  Every year on New Year's Eve and the Lantern Festival, there are fireworks.  This year is no exception.

    The emperor led a group of ministers out of the Wende Palace. Fireworks rose from thousands of trees outside, like bright stars bursting out in the vast night sky, illuminating half of the sky, as if even the moonlight was afraid of competing with them.

    Maybe it¡¯s amazing to people today, but Wen Wan has seen it a lot, and it¡¯s not amazing at all.  She has seen all the colorful and dazzling patterns in modern times.  for these.  Naturally, she wasn't that surprised.  But she still feels the same way about the lively festivals.

    After the banquet ended, Wen Wan stretched out her hands to King Zheng.  Except for Qi Yan, the other two princes looked at Wen Wan and their father strangely.

    "You girl." King Zheng looked at Wen Wan's movements and smiled as he took out a sealed red envelope from his sleeve.  It looks like it's not light in weight.

    Wenwan took it over, happily.

    "Cousin, this is the New Year's money I give you." Qi Yan is used to it.  In the past few years, he has given his cousin lucky money every year.  Wen Wan never blushed and accepted.  My cousin gave me a red envelope, and it was only natural that I should take it.

    "This is a gift from me to my cousin. I hope my cousin likes it." Qi Xuan also gave a gift.

    Qi Feng also took the gift and handed it to Wen Wan.

    Wen Wan looked at it, smiled and waved her hand.  I did not answer.  Instead, he took out a red envelope from his sleeve and said, "Sixth Prince, the princess said she is older than you. She is the elder sister, so she should be the one giving you the gift. How can you ask for a gift from your cousin! This is the red envelope she gave you.  Please keep it."

    Qi Feng blushed and was unwilling to accept it.  Everyone gave red envelopes, but he couldn't give them away, so he gave them to himself instead.  If I accept this, I will definitely be laughed at when I return to the palace.  Finally, King Zheng offered to accept it, and he reluctantly accepted it.  He is only a few months younger than Wen Wan and yet he is receiving red envelopes, which is really depressing.  This cousin.  Not cute at all.  Fortunately, he still thinks his cousin is cute!

    Wenwan returned to where she lived.  Picked up the heavy red envelope given by King Zheng.  When I opened it, I saw it was not money or banknotes.  It's not a precious gem or anything.  But nine copper coins of the same size.  String together with red thread.  Wen Wan asked Xia Ying strangely, does this have any special meaning?

    My uncle gave me such a thing.  It must have a special meaning.  It's just that Wen Wan really doesn't know.  However, Xia Yingying must know.

    Xia Ying looked at the nine coins on the same string and said with a smile, "This is a custom in Yizhou. The nine copper coins wrapped in it are for peace and longevity." Wen Wan thought for a while and solemnly placed  In the box, keep it.

    Looking at Wen Wan, it is better to wear more festive clothes during the Chinese New Year.  It makes people happy to look at it, doesn¡¯t it?

    So on the first day of the new year, Xia Ying dressed Wen Wan in a bright red palace dress. The palace dress was embroidered with a pattern of phoenixes and peonies. She wore a double-snail bun with butterfly beads in the bun.  Wearing a dragon and phoenix bracelet, and a yellow red gold necklace hanging around her neck.  A very rich doll.

    After finishing it, as soon as the genius was revealed, Wen Wan ran to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor and kowtowed to the emperor three times.  Just as he finished kowtowing, he heard someone outside reporting that Princess Siyue was here.

    The emperor let him in with a smile, and then looked at Wen Wan's attire as a wealthy doll, and chuckled, "Here, this is a red envelope from grandpa. Today, you are one year older, and you must be more sensible."

    Wen Wan said that she is already very sensible and will become more sensible in the future.  I won't let my grandpa and uncle worry about it.  At the beginning of the day, I got a big red envelope from the emperor.

    Siyue is also dressed up.  Wen Wan looked at her and said hello.  She took advantage of her characteristic of amassing money, wandered around several main palaces, and paid New Year greetings to several main palace empresses.  No matter which palace concubine she is, she will naturally give her a red envelope when she sees her.  In view of Wen Wan's great favor, everyone stuffed red envelopes so thickly that Wen Wan's pockets were full.  Make a lot of money and win.  Come back and hold each oneBao showed off to the emperor, and the emperor burst into laughter looking at Wen Wan's money-obsessed look.

    " Eunuch Wen couldn't help but smile when he saw Princess Wen Wan displaying her expertise again.  Fortunately, he already knew the princess very well.  Otherwise, looking at it like this, it would also have thoughts that were rumored before.  Because Wen Wan looks like a money addict at this moment.

    Author's words: This chapter is two updates in one, an additional update for Pink 720 and 780.  From yesterday to now, the votes for Gentle Pink have been hovering between third and fourth.  According to my initial thoughts, not to mention third or fourth place, even if I can make it into the top ten, I feel it is amazing.  So my initial goal was to get into the top ten in monthly votes.  But with everyone¡¯s support, Wenwan¡¯s achievements far exceeded my expectations.  I didn't even think about it, but I was ranked in the top four.

    For such results, I didn¡¯t think it was true at first.  Because such good results are like a dream to me.

    I am very touched by everyone's support and it also makes me full of motivation.  From the day I got off the train to now, I have never left my computer except for sleeping.  Not for anything else, just to thank everyone for supporting me.  So far, I have updated four times today.  If there are no other problems, there should be four more updates.

    I have tried my best and hope everyone can support me.  There are eleven hours left in this month. I hope everyone can vote for me with their pink votes so that I can eventually enter the top three in the monthly vote.  Turning a dream that I had never thought of into reality into reality.  Thank you all.  (To be continued)
