Mr. Zhuang has always had doubts about the affairs of Prince Zheng's Mansion. He asked in a cryptic manner, "Your Majesty, what was your intention in arranging this scene in the first place? Is there something you are hiding?"
After King Zhao thought about it carefully, he thought about his own mother's temperament, and there must be something fishy about this matter. He immediately entered the palace and said, "Concubine, why did you use that method that day? Is there anything you didn't tell me during this time? Concubine, please tell me so that I can have an idea."
Concubine Xian looked at him, and after a while she said, "Wen Wan, you can't move."
When King Zhao heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Sure enough, there was something strange about this girl: "Mother, why can't you move?"
Concubine Xian sighed slightly and said, "You don't need to know these. All you need to know is that Wen Wan cannot be touched. Don't touch her again in the future." Concubine Xian didn't know that King Zhao had given a secret order to get rid of Wen Wan. If she knew, she would definitely act differently.
In the end, King Zhao did not ask for an answer. Went back with a heavy heart. After discussing it with the staff for a long time, there was no guess at the result.
Wen Wan was in the princess's mansion, listening to Xia Yao talk about some things. These things are very broad. She needs to know and understand. Gentle and silent.
In the capital, as Wen Wan fell silent, the topic of Wen Wan also came to an end for the time being. However, another exciting topic came up.
Another victory was won along the coast. The emperor was extremely happy when the good news came. In the past two years, the fight against Japanese pirates has become more and more intense, and the results have been outstanding.
As the good news came, the news that came with it made the emperor difficult.
Shangzhezi is the main character this time, Bai Shinian. Bai Shinian mentioned in Zhezi that he hoped to expand an army. Once this army is well trained, it can increase coastal protection and intensify its attack on Japanese pirates. He said on the note. If the emperor could agree to his idea, he would definitely be able to wipe out the Japanese pirates within two years.
If we can clear out the Japanese pirates along the coast, the imperial court will be relieved of a big burden. If only the war in the north was left, the court would no longer be as strenuous as it is now. The idea was good, and the emperor was moved by it. But it was difficult.
The plan is also very thorough and the implementation is very strong. But the reality is cruel. As the saying goes, before the troops and horses move, food and grass move first. A rough calculation shows that if you really want to win this battle, you can't even think about it if you don't have millions of taels of silver. But now the imperial treasury is empty. Such a large amount. Where to move. The court could not afford such a large sum of money. All this is fantasy. But the emperor was unwilling to miss such a good opportunity.
The emperor was worried.
It happened that Wen Wan was announced to the palace, and the emperor looked at Wen Wan.
"Grandpa Emperor, is there something wrong with Wen Wan?" She just stared at herself like this, and she didn't believe it unless she was fine.
"You girl. Why do you always think about the bad things instead of the good things? Grandpa just watched us grow up gentle and become big girls. Think about the first time when grandpa saw you. You were so thin and pitiful."
Seeing that the emperor didn¡¯t say anything, Wen Wan pretended to be stupid and grinned.
The emperor touched her head, this girl. Acting crazy and acting stupid again.
In Jiangnan, King Zheng got the news. His attitude toward Wen Wan was settled, and he knew that Wen Wan was waiting for him to return. King Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Wenwan didn't get into trouble.
King Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a deep sense of loss in his heart. Wen Wan didn't even say a word about his illness in Jiangnan. It was completely different from the last time when he was out on duty paying close attention, giving diligent instructions, and worrying every day. Such a strong contrast made Prince Zheng feel uncomfortable.
Yan Qixuan, who is also in Jiangnan, because gentleness is in the letter. She said that she regretted that she had to leave, and hoped that he could continue to practice calligraphy every day (Wen Wan once joked with Yan Qixuan that if she practices calligraphy hard every day, she will definitely become a calligraphy master in the future). Yan Qixuan identified gentleness as his ideal and became a calligraphy master. He decided to practice calligraphy well and help Fu Xi fulfill his unfulfilled last wish. Become a calligraphy master. Therefore, try to cooperate with the doctor¡¯s treatment. Yan Qixuan had expectations in his heart. He had a good foundation and the doctor was attentive. The condition gradually improved.
Wen Wan just writes in that state of mind and speaks very casually. She never expected that Yan Qixuan would take this as her goal.
Luo Shouxun was very happy when he saw it. Luo Shouxun was a loyal person. He had just recovered at the time, and when he got the news that Fu Xi was about to die, he went to Jiangnan with Yan Qixuan. Yan Qixuan was extremely sad, and he was always there to encourage and comfort him. People who are sick will feel a lot of comfort if they have relatives and friends around them.
Luo Shouxun was about to come out when he suddenly saw a girl coming from a distance. If it were before, Luo Shouxun might have looked at it twice. But this time, because of Fu Xi's passing, he was also heartbroken and couldn't bear it.?It didn't fall on the surface like Yan Qixuan. Therefore, no matter how beautiful a person is, there is no taste in his eyes.
In Luo Shouxun's eyes, although Fu Xi is very noble, he is actually the most loyal person, showing humility and care to his friends. People are also very simple. This is the first time in his life that he has met a person who has no scheming and a heart as pure as glass.
Many years later, when Luo Shouxun knew that Wen Wan was Fu Xi. He felt like God was joking with him. In his heart, one woman is the most calculating and resourceful woman in the world, and the woman he admires the most; the other is kind-hearted, ignorant of human nature, and brilliant, and is his best and most admired friend. And these two people at the extremes turn out to be the same person. If it weren't for the fact, he would never believe it.
The servant next to him said, "This is the young lady of the Jiang family. She said she came to see the Crown Prince Yanzi. Crown Prince, should we avoid suspicion?"
Luo Shouxun showed a look of disgust. Last time, several women from the Jiang family used the banner of care, but in fact they had their own little calculations. This would simply disregard shame and the single woman would catch up on her own. This is the first one, but it will definitely not be the last one. "Qixuan is sick. She is a girl. What is she doing here? She is from Gua Tian Li. If anything happens, don't ruin our relationship." Who of you can bear the reputation? Let her go back and the next time she will be beaten to death with twenty sticks."
Although he is so beautiful, he can't move when he sees beauty. There are two men here, he is married. Compared with Yan Qixuan, Yan Qixuan is more popular. Being related to Yan Qixuan means a lifetime of prosperity and wealth. But Luo Shouxun would never allow these people to scheme against Yan Qixuan.
Entering the house, he saw Yan Qixuan holding the handwritten letter Fu Xi had left for him.
Luo Shouxun looked at him like this and comforted him, "Don't be sad. Didn't you say that you should cheer up and help Fu Xi fulfill her last wish? Don't be sad, eat early, it will be better soon. Return to the capital and worship under Mr. Zhang's name ( A famous calligraphy master in Daqi, it is important to fulfill Fu Xi¡¯s last wish as soon as possible. There will be no time to mourn the Spring and Autumn Period.
The emperor knew that Wen Wan always refused invitations from concubines in the harem, so he smiled and said, "Go out more often, don't stay bored in the house all the time, you will get bored. Go ahead and dress yourself up. Look beautiful." Let them also see that we have grown into grown-up girls.¡±
The emperor¡¯s words are imperial edicts, but unfortunately Wen Wan often goes into the left ear. The right ear comes out. Don't take it seriously. Anyway, there are only four people in Yanghe Hall. Eunuch Wen and Xia Yao are people without ears. The emperor always smiled lovingly at her pretending to be stupid. No one held her accountable for resisting the decree.
On this day, a flower-viewing banquet was held in the palace. The emperor looked at Wen Wan and said, "Don't stay bored in the house all the time. You should walk more." After returning, Wen Wan was either in the Yanghe Hall or the Princess's Mansion. And he spends most of his time in the study. A lady who cannot go out of the first door or step forward from the second door. Another girl¡¯s house. The emperor would think that was the right thing to do. But with her gentle temperament, the emperor was very worried that she would go back to the past, and always wanted her to go out more often.
Wen Wan refused to go, so the emperor patted Wen Wan on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead and come and have a look after grandpa is done with his work." If she refuted the emperor's words and did not continue, she would pass. But the second time, Wen Wan stopped refuting and obeyed obediently. He would be gentle and not refute, but would pout. Express your displeasure.
The emperor touched Wen Wan's hair and chuckled.
Wenwan¡¯s clothing has always been simple, and this time is no exception. Except for a hosta on the head. She only wore a few delicate flowers and no other jewelry.
The emperor saw that Wen Wan was too plain. Xia Yao casually took off the green and white hollow jade ring from her waist, took it and pinned it on to Wen Wan.
Wen Wan touched the jade pendant, it was as moist as water and exuded a touch of warmth. Unexpectedly, it was another piece of warm jade. Wen Wan lamented that there were so many good things in ancient times, especially good things from the royal family. If you take out any piece of it in modern times, it will definitely be a national treasure.
Wenwan walked all the way. May is the time when a hundred flowers bloom. Approaching the depths of the garden, the colorful flowers are dazzling, as if you have entered a grand view garden filled with beauty and red. White calla lilies, pink late cherry blossoms, fiery red hydrangeas, large-flowered geraniums all vying for favor. Looking at this beautiful scene, Wen Wan's mood relaxed.
The focus of this flower viewing is the peonies.
Wenwan walked towards the peonies, looking at the crystal-clear jade, dreamlike white peonies, and then there were groups of majestic flames and picturesque red peonies. Wen Wan was reluctant to move.
Seeing that everyone was looking at Wen Wan, Xia Yao reminded in a low voice, "Princess, everyone has sat down, you should go too." The so-called flower appreciation banquet was just a pretext. The point is still to get everyone together and connect emotionally.
For a whileThe gentle breeze blows in your face, and you can faintly smell a hint of elegant fragrance. The fragrance makes people deeply intoxicated.
Arrive at the banquet venue. I found that there were quite a lot of people coming to this flower viewing banquet: Concubine Xian, Concubine De, Concubine Chun, Concubine Zhou, Concubine Ning, Concubine Zheng, some of the concubines below, and many noble ladies. The banquet was very lively, with constant laughter and laughter.
Wen Wan was on guard in her heart. The last time she was injured was the fault of Concubine Xian, and this time Grandpa Emperor pushed her out again. Wen Wan is really confused. She has made it clear that she hates these banquets. The emperor's grandfather turned a blind eye. Did the emperor's grandfather think that she was living too comfortably? Otherwise, why would she have to face these intrigues? Or, just to train her.
Wenwan walked towards the crowd. Dressed in a suit
?Aqua blue embroidered peony and gold brocade long skirt. Her black hair was slightly pulled up, a hosta was inserted diagonally into her bun, her eyebrows were curved, her big almond-shaped eyes were full of hope, and there was a faint smile on her lips. Taking lotus steps, a green and white hollow jade ring worn on the waist swayed with the steps, making a crisp sound.
The concubines present looked at Wen Wan with a radiant face and a sparkling look. There is no hint of sadness among the rumors. I was murmuring in my heart. Looking at the jade ring with crisp ears, I don¡¯t know how many twists and turns I have made. This jade ring was the emperor's personal belonging and was worn for more than twenty years. It hangs on Wen Wan's waist in the blink of an eye, and it can't be accomplished without much thought.
"Ah. Wen Wan, you are finally here. We are all waiting for you!" De Fei smiled sweetly. Although it is said that women over thirty in this dynasty are considered old. But these words are not suitable for Concubine De. Several years have passed, and Wen Wan feels as if time is no longer flowing through Concubine De. Still so charming and charming.
After hearing this, Wen Wan muttered to Xia Yao a few times. Everyone was surprised. Wenwan couldn't speak, so she was muttering something.
Xia Yao said to everyone, Concubine De, "Princess said, please forgive Concubine De and the ladies here. The princess was looking at the peonies just now, and she was so distracted. She forgot the time."
It¡¯s good to have a gentle and apologetic look on her face.
Princess Fuling said sarcastically, "Really? Looking at the flowers, how can it compare to so many elders waiting for you here?"
Wen Wan looked at Princess Fuling, who had an evil look on her face, with a faint smile still on her face. Not because of Princess Fuling's words. He would become cold-faced or even scornful. It¡¯s not surprising that Princess Fuling has such an attitude, Wen Wan. Prince Zheng's attitude is very clear, Ying Xin can only be an equal wife when she enters the house. With the way Princess Fuling loves her daughter, she will definitely find another family. But Ying Xin's reputation has been ruined and she has to find a satisfactory marriage. It's not that difficult. It was expected that she would take out this anger on herself.
Before Princess Zheng could speak, Princess Zhou smiled beside her and said, "Imperial sister (Prince Zhou is older than Fuling). Wen Wan is a twelve-year-old girl who is just the age to love beauty. When we were as old as us, we looked so The beautiful scenery makes me forget to wander among the flowers. The flowers on display today are so beautiful that I am stunned by them.¡±
What else does Princess Fuling want to say.
Concubine Xian said, "Just come. Sit down. The banquet will start in a while."
Wen Wan glanced around and saw Simin standing next to Concubine Xian. Siyue was called by Princess Zhao to attend to the illness, but she hasn't come out recently. If I switch to Simin, is there any difference?
A palace maid led Wen Wan to her seat. After sitting down, everyone was talking about flowers, hairstyles, and jewelry.
Wen Wan used to be the most impatient to hear these things, because they were always said at every banquet. Besides talking about food, jewelry and stuff like that. There is no topic. She's not interested in these.
If it were before, Wen Wan might have been drowsy again. But now her mentality has changed, and Xia Yao occasionally says a few funny words in her ear. It also piqued her interest.
The scene became harmonious. This caused Princess Zheng to look at Wen Wan several times. Wenwan caught Princess Zheng's gaze and smiled gracefully. Neither unfamiliar nor friendly. Attitude towards Princess Zheng. The same attitude towards everyone.
Princess Zheng was a little frustrated. Wenwan became even more confused. She would really have a headache now.
"The Emperor has arrived." With a sharp voice, everyone around stood up, and Wen Wan followed suit and saluted.
The emperor came over and waved his big hand, "Fair up."
Seeing Wen Wan, the emperor was about to retreat to his seat, "Girl, sit next to me."
After hearing this, Wen Wan immediately went to the emperor's side. In the Hall of Yanghe, Wen Wan could turn a deaf ear to the emperor's words. It was just a joke between grandparents and grandchildren, and it didn't matter if they didn't take it seriously. But outside, Wenwan couldn't be more polite.
Wen Wan sits upright and is highly focused.Notice. However, the emperor knew Wen Wan's temperament and was wandering there again. This trick of gentleness is often performed in Yanghe Hall. When she encountered something she didn't want to hear, she couldn't help but doze off, so she just wandered around.
The emperor said a few opening remarks, stood up and said he wanted to watch the flowers. All the concubines got up and followed. Unfortunately, as soon as we arrived at the flower garden, the eunuch told us that there was urgent government business.
As soon as the emperor left, the whole scene seemed to relax. Concubine Xian smiled beside her and said, "Wen Wan, your body has just recovered, so you should move around more. If you stay bored in the house all day, you will get sick."
Express my sincere thanks gently. That look made it impossible to detect any fakeness.
The concubines and several princesses present. Seeing the completely different Wen Wan, they all looked strange. Everyone knows his gentle temperament. Relying on the emperor's favor and not giving any face. If you don't get what you want, you'll fall out. Not to mention not giving face to Concubine Xian and Concubine De, even Princess Zheng, who had the closest relationship with her, would not give her any face even if she made her unhappy. He has always been cold and indifferent to people. It will look like she is amiable to everyone, as if her temperament has changed overnight. Isn't it strange? Could it be that as the rumors say, Wen Wan's temperament really changed after the incident in Prince Zheng's palace.
Simin is next to you. She said in a crisp voice, "Sister Wen Wan, if you are bored and want to find someone to talk to, I will accompany you, Sister Wen Wan!" That look was so cute that you couldn't feel any disgust at all.
Wen Wan saw that everyone around her was looking at her. From the time of her accident until now, she has had no interaction with Prince Zheng's Mansion. What would happen if Simin suddenly had a sisterly kiss now?
Xia Yao saw Wen Wan and just smiled without any expression. "Please forgive Princess Simin, the imperial doctor said. Princess needs to rest in peace and recuperate. Thank you very much for Princess Simin's kindness." Wen Wan grimaced after hearing this. . Although it is a tonic. But she really didn't want to drink it. It was a blessing to others, but torture to her. She is better now than when she first came back. I gained at least ten pounds. If you continue like this, you will definitely become a chubby girl.
Simin ignored Xia Yao, "Sister Wen Wan, Min'er is always thinking about Zhou. It's embarrassing for Sister Wen Wan."
Xia Yao looked calm, "Our princess appreciates Princess Simin's kindness. Regardless of what the imperial doctor said, the princess shouldn't bother herself. Our princess also likes peace and quiet and doesn't like making noise."
Simin¡¯s face turned red from holding back. Xia Yao's words are not just saying that she talks too much. in ancient times. Talkative means talkative. Likes to stir up trouble. This one appears among the seven.
The maid next to Simin shouted coldly, "How outrageous, you actually answered on behalf of Princess Huanggui. Because Princess Huanggui has a good temper, she doesn't even take the master seriously."
Xia Yao dismissed it, "It's not your turn to question me about my identity. You'd better recognize your identity, otherwise, you won't know how you will die."
Wen Wan has a new understanding of Xia Yao's toughness. In front of so many ladies, she dared to scold Simin's personal maid. This hit Simin hard in the face, and also hit Concubine Xian in the face.
The ladies present saw Xia Yao being so arrogant. Defiant. Extremely shocked. Many people believed that the rumors that came out before were caused by Wen Wan secretly. This palace maid was to protect Wen Wan from rumors. Now Wenwan doesn't have any expression. She dared to reply instead of Wen Wan. There is also such an arrogant and arrogant palace maid. It was an eye-opener for them. But they have doubts. Is Wen Wan such an easy person to manipulate?
Fuling looked at Xia Yao being so arrogant. Questioning Wen Wan, "Wen Wan, this is the slave you taught, and he is so daring. Come on, pull him down and punish him twenty times."
In this world, if a noble wants the life of his slave, he can do it with just one sentence. Wen Wan's smile was still gentle. Her people couldn't work enough for Princess Fuling to teach her a lesson.
Xia Yao saw Wen Wan smiling at the side but did not respond. So he said back firmly, "Princess, you are wrong. I was trained by the emperor. The emperor placed me next to the princess and asked me to take good care of the princess. I have the right to interfere in anything that is not good for the princess." If the princess wants to give me twenty spanks, you have to explain why. I am a fourth-grade female official personally appointed by the emperor. There is no reason, and I can¡¯t do it just by relying on the princess¡¯ words.¡±
Wenwan stood there, treating herself as the scenery.
Princess Fuling¡¯s expression was extremely ugly. Xia Yao's words were telling her that she had no rights to touch her. You must know that those of high rank, especially those of high rank, cannot be executed at will by nameless palace maids. Besides, she kept saying that it was a reward from the emperor. To say that he has no rules and no distinction between superiority and inferiority is not to say that the emperor trained such a person who does not know the heights of heaven and earth. Princess Fuling really couldn't help Xia Yao's words.
Others were shocked. The highest rank in the inner palace is the Grand Chamberlain, the emperor's personal attendant, Eunuch Wen, who is only of the third rank. Xia Yao turned out to be in the fourth rank.
Concubine De was watching a play on the side, and Princess Zheng did not dare to interrupt.As soon as Wen Wan interrupted, she even lost her face. The others remained silent. No one dares to mess with this living cannon.
Princess Chun came out to smooth things over, "Wen Wan, Simin also has good intentions, and your aunt is also afraid that you will suffer a loss. Today I came to enjoy the flowers. I went to pick two pots of beautiful ones and take them back. It's not in vain, is it?"
Express gratitude gently.
Xia Yao still had a look of indignation on her face. Wenwan glanced at her and told her to stop. Don't make it difficult for everyone to step down. Then she will also lose face. Xia Yao accepted Wen Wan's words and reluctantly closed her mouth.
Wen Wan happily picked two pots of big red peonies and went back. The decoration in Wen Wan's house was plain, but she liked to put fresh flowers in the house. She said that seeing the flowers full of life made her feel happy.
Wen Wan did not return to Yanghe Hall, but had someone send a message to the emperor saying that she had returned. On the carriage, Wen Wan looked at Xia Yao carefully. I can¡¯t figure out which song this woman is singing today. She didn't think that Xia Yao would provoke Princess Fuling for nothing. (To be continued)
