Since Wen Wan¡¯s incident in the palace, although Princess Zheng and Ru Yu helped her with Shang Tang¡¯s marriage, Wen Wan has always been more than polite to them and not enough affectionate.
Princess Zheng was also helpless because of her gentle attitude. Several months have passed since the incident, but Wen Wan seems to have kept it in mind. Although it was her dereliction of duty, how could Wen Wan act like an ignorant child at such a critical moment?
"Princess, Crown Princess, Princess, please wait for a moment. She went into the house to change her clothes." Xia Ying went to the living room to explain to the two of them.
Wenwan returned to the bedroom. After changing her clothes, she went to the main hall to meet Princess Zheng and the Crown Prince Feici. Seeing the two of them, he smiled and asked them to sit down. No one sat down to work. The princess and the crown prince sit in the two positions on the left hand side. Wen Wan sits in the second position on the right. This position is also very particular, and Wen Wan will not drag it down.
The maid brought tea to the two of them.
"Sister Wen Wan, I haven't seen you for more than two months. You have lost a lot of weight. Don't get tired." Ru Yu Manlu was worried.
She expressed her gratitude with a gentle smile, "Princess, I have been eating well and sleeping well every day these days. Even if I lose weight, I will regain it soon." The princess said, thank you Princess and Crown Princess for your concern. Don't worry. She I will take good care of myself.¡±
Princess Zheng smiled and said, "I have been listening to the prince talking about you these past few days, saying that you have been taking care of the emperor, and I am worried that your body will not be able to bear it. Wen Wan, please take care of yourself."
She smiled gently and said how could she be so delicate. I just made a few side dishes, and the ingredients were all ready. It only takes half an hour to wash it and put it in the pot. No matter where she is, she will be tired. When he was in the country, she had a body like a matchstick. I still have to chop wood!
Although Wen Wan doesn¡¯t understand why Princess Zheng left this time. She had already made her attitude clear to Prince Zheng. But face is important.
Ru Yu seemed to have guessed Wen Wan's doubts, "Wen Wan, it will be Concubine De's birthday in a few days. So we went into the palace to say hello to Grandma De. We stopped by to meet our cousin."
??Smile gently. The greeting is probably fake, but the desire to see her is real. Wen Wan smiled and said that she was really fine. If it was really hard, the emperor's grandfather wouldn't let it go.
To say that it is busy, it is indeed. But when it comes to hard work, it¡¯s not hard at all. Otherwise, the first person to refuse will be the emperor.
The two parties had a great time chatting. Xia Ying, who was outside, walked in and said, "Princess, the cabbage sum you requested has been delivered. Princess, please ask them to wait."
Xia Yao on one side saw this and said, "Princess, what do you think of this? I'll put these dishes in the small kitchen and wash them first. They can be cooked when you come over. Princess, what do you think?" ." This left time for Princess Zheng to chat with Ru Yu.
If there is anyone else in the palace who can win Wen Wan's trust, it is Xia Yao. Xia Yao was given to her by the emperor's grandfather, so Zhongzhi has absolutely nothing to worry about. I'm not afraid of what she will do. Wen Wan nodded. Xia Yao took the dishes and entered the small kitchen.
Wen Wan had another conversation with Princess Zheng and Ru Yu, and it seemed that the time was almost up. I apologized and said that I had to be busy and didn't have time to accompany the two of them, and I couldn't keep them to eat. She herself ate at the emperor's house, and she didn't have the guts to be the emperor's boss.
King Zheng and Ru Yu are also sensible people. Naturally, I didn¡¯t say anything taboo like ¡°I¡¯ll help you, etc.¡± There are clear examples from the past, giving things to the emperor. It's not that easy to give away. Wen Wan was able to do this, and the emperor happily accepted it. This shows that the emperor has great trust in Wen Wan. They should still avoid things that they should be taboo about.
After seeing the two of them off, Wen Wan went back to the kitchen to get busy.
Although King Zheng knew that Wen Wan was sensible, he was still a little worried. I felt relieved when I heard that I looked good and was in good spirits.
Eight days passed in the blink of an eye when Wen Wan arrived at the palace. Wen Wan was sitting in her palace as usual, thinking about what dishes to serve to the emperor for lunch. Only then can the emperor eat more. The emperor's grandfather didn't eat much yesterday, probably because of the change of weather. So I have a bad appetite. I should make two more appetizers.
While Wen Wan was busy, Eunuch Wen Bao sent a young eunuch to call Wen Wan over, saying that the emperor lost his temper in the Yanghe Hall and killed two eunuchs with a stick, leaving Wen Wan to rescue him. The previous poisoning incident involved the eunuchs and maids in the Yanghe Palace. All were killed. The current group is all newly recruited. With Siyue on the side to control them, these palace maids and eunuchs, who had experienced both warmth and coldness, always looked kindly to them and never put on airs when the emperor looked at the imperial princess who loved him so much. Respect this master from the bottom of my heart.
Eunuch Wen respectfully welcomed Wen Wan in.
Wen Wan went directly into the Yanghe Hall. As soon as Wen Wan arrived at the inner hall, she saw the emperor's grandfather trembling with anger. Gentle and gentleThe man kneeling below stared at him. It turned out to be Prince Ning, whom he had never interacted with before.
Wen Wan was just surprised for a few seconds, and quickly went up to help the emperor without thinking. After rubbing it for a long time, the emperor was relieved. Otherwise, you will get angry again. The imperial doctor said that emotions should not fluctuate too much.
"You really want me to die. Even if I die, it won't be your turn to be an unfaithful and unfilial beast." The emperor sneered. He thought about money, but he didn't expect that it was his sixth son who he always thought was an honest and trustworthy man. I thought he was really immersed in poetry and books, but I didn't expect that it was him who had the heart of a wolf and the heart of a dog.
"Why can't I do it? They are your sons, am I not your son? You can give such a despicable person a chance, why can't you give me a chance? How am I worse than them? And , You would rather pamper a mute than take another look at me. Why, what's wrong with me?" Prince Ning, who is usually gentle and gentle, looked like a madman this time, with a ferocious face and frantic behavior in this world. Call.
Wen Wan looked at Prince Ning in shock. The emperor's grandfather has always been kind to his sons. When it comes to resentment, no one can compare to his uncle. Why does he have more resentment than his uncle? Just because the emperor's grandfather didn't give him the chance to sit in this chair?
Prince Ning raised his head and glanced at Wen Wan coldly, with hatred that could not be hidden in his eyes: "Father, you are such a mute, but you are worthy of the title of Princess Royal. Father, I don't accept it."
Wen Wan was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head. Continue to help the emperor be happy. But she felt cold in her heart. Had she ever offended him? Why do you look at him like an enemy? Or, as the old saying goes, dogs that bark don¡¯t bite, and dogs that bite don¡¯t bark. The man behind the scenes was really Prince Ning, who only read the books of sages. This is incredible.
Thinking of this, Wen Wan smiled bitterly. She had heard about the cruel intrigues in the ancient royal family. There were endless fights between fathers, sons, and brothers. She also felt it was too exaggerated. Even when the teacher asked her to recite a large number of history books, there were many stories of fathers and sons and brothers fighting each other, but she just looked at them without thinking about them or paying attention to them. She even thought that the teacher was just looking for trouble for her and abusing her. But I never thought that I would now see such a bloody reality with my own eyes.
"For these reasons, you can kill the king, you can kill your father. You are an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust thing. Come here and drag him out." The emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over. He asked himself that he was not unkind to his son, yet he actually harbored such resentment towards him.
The guards quickly took Prince Ning out. Not a trace of hesitation. Wen Wan glanced at it, trembling in her heart.
"Father, I don't have this position. I don't want to kill my father. Why don't you believe my father? Father, I don't. I have thought about that position, and even resented my father for why he would rather give it to me." That despicable person didn¡¯t give Erchen a chance. But Erchen definitely didn¡¯t want to harm my father. You really don¡¯t,¡± Prince Ning howled. The sound traveled far and wide.
Wen Wan trembled after hearing this. She knew it was time to say nothing and do nothing. However, she could not: "The emperor's grandpa may not really be Uncle Ning Wang, but someone framed him. Uncle Ning Wang has always been very knowledgeable, and he has been studying knowledge and has achieved success. There are many people in the court. Confucian scholars and celebrities all praised it. Uncle Ning will definitely become a great literary figure in a few years. Grandfather, please check carefully. If you make a mistake and let the bad guys succeed, it will hurt the relationship between father and son. "
"Wen Wan, do you mean that I am too confused to just find a son to vent my anger on such a big matter?" The emperor looked at Wen Wan coldly. His face was as gloomy as the heavy sky before snow, which chilled people to the core.
Eunuch Wen was at the side, prostrate on the ground, "Your Majesty, take care of yourself."
Wen Wan stared blankly at the emperor who was extremely angry, with that cold expression and the fierce look on his face. Wen Wan was as silent as a cicada, and saw Eunuch Wen prostrate on the ground again. Wen Wan immediately followed the example of the ministers she had seen before who did something wrong and made the emperor angry. She put her forehead on the floor and prostrated herself on the ground. I didn't dare to take a breath.
The whole Yanghe Hall is so quiet that you can hear the rustling of the trees in the wind outside.
The emperor remained standing, as if he were sitting on a sculpture. Wen Wan lay on the ground for most of the day, not daring to move. After a while, my whole body felt cold. The hands are not my own hands, and the legs are not my own legs. Not only that, his whole body was also stiff. Even so, Wen Wan didn't dare to move even slightly.
His face was expressionless, his expression was motionless, and his forehead was lowered to the floor. The numbness of the body cannot resist the desolation in Wen Wan's heart. It is said that being with a king is like being with a tiger, and the old saying is indeed true. All she got for working so hard was this situation, Wen Wan smiled bitterly in her heart.
However, Wen Wan didn¡¯t complain. She knew that the emperor was now in a state of rage. It's not easy to think about being an emperor.The emperor is so considerate that even his son wants to kill him. Who can be sober and calm when encountering this? Forget it, don¡¯t worry about it. The son wanted to kill his father. Such a shocking thing happened to the emperor. The emperor didn't faint from the anger, he already had strong willpower and his body could withstand it.
