Wen Wan doesn't want to continue talking, for fear of making too many mistakes.
Bai Shinian is in great spirits now, and the things he has been worrying about in his life are finally over. The things that were on my mind were also settled. Pulling Wenwan to talk to him, "Don't sleep, chat with me. The border is very difficult, but don't worry, I will not let you suffer, and I will take good care of you. I will take care of it properly." "
The gentle disdain is also shown on her face: "I don't want you to take care of me! I have not taken good care of myself these years. If you really go to the border, you should still deal with those Manchus carefully. I will just follow you I won¡¯t hold you back even if you go to the border, don¡¯t worry!¡±
Bai Shinian said cheerfully, "Of course I'm relieved, but the border is not as prosperous as the capital. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it for a while." With Princess Wenwan, the food and clothing expenses are definitely top-notch. He was afraid that Qing'er wouldn't be used to it.
Wen Wan is not pretentious, "As long as you can eat and drink and not be hungry, it doesn't matter if it's not prosperous here. It's not like I haven't experienced hardship. Once I didn't see a piece of meat for several months, and the food I ate was all filled with sand. The most difficult time is when I can't eat for two or three days and I can only drink water to satisfy my hunger. After all, couldn't life at the border be more difficult? Besides, wouldn't you still be able to make me hungry?" Wen Wan put a high hat on Bai Shinian appropriately.
Bai Shinian's heart ached for a while after hearing this, and he gently stroked Wen Wan's face, "I haven't been there either, but I heard it's very bitter. However, if you can't adapt there, you can come back when the time comes. But I just I¡¯m worried that it will be bad if you are caught by someone with intentions in the capital.¡±
Wen Wan smiled and pretended not to understand what he meant: "You live your life by yourself, whether it is good or bad does not depend on the external environment. It all depends on your heart. If you have a peaceful mind and don't ask for things that don't belong to you, you will be safe, healthy and happy. Blessed. Even if you only have a simple meal every day, you will feel happy. If you think about the riches and wealth in the sky every day, you will not be happy even if you wear gold, silver, silk, satin and fine food every day. Yes, whether it¡¯s good or bad all depends on your attitude towards life.¡±
Bai Shinian's whole body was shaken, he looked at Wen Wan and asked softly, "I really feel that simple meals are delicious. If I have to give you simple meals every day, you have to blame me to death."
After hearing this, Wen Wan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I won't blame you. I've never been very demanding. I just need to have enough food, clothing and clothing to live comfortably. In fact, being happy is very simple. Just cherish what you can." Yes, don¡¯t think about what you don¡¯t have. I think life is pretty good. I never ask for things that don¡¯t belong to me.¡±
Bai Shinian was very happy after hearing this. Bai Shinian was very serious and praised Sheng, "I didn't expect my wife to be so broad-minded."
Wen Wan said in a pretentious manner: "That's natural, follow me every day" After a moment of pause, Wen Wan clicked her tongue, almost saying that she was a teacher, and immediately changed her tone, "Learn from the princess and sister Xia Yao, no matter how stupid you are. I can also learn one or two percent. The saying is that if you are close to red, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black. "
Bai Shinian chuckled: "You are right. Princess Wenwan is indeed powerful. I also hope that she will collect more money in the future to better support our officers and soldiers on the front line! So nothing will happen to her, and nothing will happen to her." "
A flock of crows flew over Wen Wan's head.
However, Wen Wan quickly became aware of one thing: "What did you say? Princess Wen Wan makes money to supply the army? What's going on?"
Bai Shinian smiled and said, "You don't need to know these things."
Wen Wan looked straight at Bai Shinian: "Tell me, I want to know. The princess has the means to make money, but how can it be related to military spending? I really want to know."
Bai Shinian was unwilling to say: "Why do you want to know this? This is what we men have to do. It has nothing to do with you women."
Wen Wan took a breath: "Nonsense, I heard what you said. Does Princess Wen Wan still provide you with military expenses? Tell me, I want to know. Don't worry, tell me, I won't tell others."
Bai Shinian shook his head, he was such a curious baby. Rubbing Wen Wan's hair: "You really won't tell others." Wen Wan nodded heavily, indicating that she had always been tight-lipped. Bai Shinian then said: "We were able to wipe out the Japanese pirates along the coast in such a short period of time. Princess Wenwan also made great efforts."
After Wen Wan listened to Bai Shinian's words, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time. What does this mean? It means that she also had half of the credit for the great coastal victory. But she didn't know anything.
Bai Shinian praised: "Speaking of which, even I have to admire Princess Wenwan's ability to make money. She is a strange woman."
Wenwan murmured and asked: "Bai ShiNian, then you said that the emperor and Prince Zheng loved Princess Wenwan because of her ability to make money. Rather than loving her because of her filial piety and sincerity, is that right? "
Looking at Wen Wan's expression, Bai Shinian thought she was feeling sorry for Princess Wen Wan, and whispered: "It goes without saying. Otherwise, why do you think Princess Wen Wan, a mute person, would be canonized as a noble princess by the emperor? Because of her achievements, outsiders just don¡¯t know about it and think she just wins the emperor¡¯s favor.¡±
Wen Wan smiled reluctantly: "It turns out that there are so many reasons for the title of the distinguished princess! I really don't know."
Bai Shinian didn't take it seriously: "If you don't say you don't know, there are a few people in the court who know."
Wen Wan was silent. In the past two years, he had vaguely understood that the reason why the emperor and Prince Zheng doted on her was for their own benefit. But she always thought that their love for him was more focused on her sincerity and filial piety, and his means of making money were just complementary things. But today, Bai Shinian's words made her realize clearly that she was wrong, and how wrong she was.
Wen Wan¡¯s hands shook. But on the face, he pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "Yes, when the princess was canonized as the royal princess, she also solved a big problem for the court. She made a great contribution to the court."
Since Wen Wan met Bai Shinian, she has vividly portrayed a little girl who is a little curious, a little reckless, a little smart, but also very loyal. Wen Wan's acting skills were too superb, without any flaws, and Bai Shinian didn't subconsciously think about it. Therefore, it did not arouse the slightest suspicion: "By the way, the emperor received more than six million taels of introduction. At least half of it was taken to improve the protection along the coast. Also, the establishment of the Huwei Army also reflected the shadow of Princess Wenwan. The great battle along the coast also relied on the Jiang family¡¯s money, and Princess Wenwan¡¯s contribution was behind it. It¡¯s just that her achievements are not enough to be praised by outsiders.¡±
She smiled softly, but her smile was very bitter. Bai Shinian's call made her understand one thing completely. That is, the words she casually said to Prince Zheng had how much weight they had on the Emperor and Prince Zheng. Military expenditures and people's livelihood (sweet potatoes and potatoes) are connected in series, and Wen Wan continues to laugh.
Seeing Wen Wan, Bai Shinian smiled strangely: "What's wrong? Qing'er. What's wrong with you?"
Wen Wan said with a smile: "I'm very happy, happy for the princess. Usually the princess is quiet, and sometimes she doesn't even talk to people much for a day. But I didn't expect that the princess did so much quietly. Great thing.¡±
In fact, Wen Wan¡¯s heart is trembling. This is the royal family, this is imperial power. Family affection is pale and powerless in the face of interests.
Before Wen Wan started to speak, she heard Bai Shiqiang sigh softly: "It's just a pity." Wen Wan was stunned: "What's a pity?"
Bai Shinian smiled and said, "Extreme wisdom will inevitably lead to injury."
He asked meekly, "Extreme wisdom will inevitably hurt you? What do you mean?"
Bai Shinian explained: "I have met Princess Wenwan three times. She is naturally charming, cute, and pure, as if she doesn't know anything about the world. She has three completely different temperaments in one person, but she has it at her fingertips. In addition, she is extremely shrewd. Qing'er has a clever mind, hidden tricks, and a superb ability to make money. Such a woman must be firmly in the hands of the superior, but how can such a woman be willing to let her destiny be manipulated. ¡±
Wen Wan shook her head: "What do you mean, I don't understand?"
The expression on Bai Shinian's face was cheerful: "Princess Wenwan is just a piece of fat. When King Zheng ascends the throne, who doesn't want to eat this piece of fat? Princess Wenwan can be as shrewd as ordinary people, how can ordinary people appreciate it. But if not She cannot marry an ordinary person."
Wen Wan asked unconsciously: "What do you mean, I still don't understand."
Bai Shinian saw his wife's silly look. Fortunately, Qing'er was just the substitute for Princess Wenwan and would not fall into those conspiracies. Otherwise, she would have been chewed to the bone. "Princess Wenwan is mute, so the prince will not marry her. But if she does not marry the future prince, the emperor will not let her marry into the clan. Then she will only marry her." Some scholars have outstanding talents, but all of them are arrogant and conceited. Princess Wenwan looks down on such men. "General military commanders look down on civil servants. Bai Shinian didn't break out of this circle either.
Wenwan asked softly: "Why?"
Seeing the sadness in Wen Wan's eyes, Bai Shinian thought she was feeling sorry for Princess Wen Wan, and said with pity: "Of course it's to avoid future troubles. It's just that Princess Wen Wan is too shrewd and smart. Women are too smart, especially people from the royal family. There are taboos.¡±
Wen Wan felt desolate in her heart: "No, the emperor loves the princess so much. He will definitely let her find someone he likes according to her wishes."Married by someone. "
Bai Shinian thought her daughter-in-law was a pitiful and gentle princess, and said with pity: "Silly girl, no matter how much you love her, you can't cross the country."
Wen Wan shook her head: "No, Princess Wen Wan is a very pure and kind person. She will never have a bad marriage. Princess Wen Wan will definitely live a good life and find a husband." Wen Wan took a loyal little maid and Act appropriately.
Bai Shinian laughed: "Only a fool like you would think that Princess Wenwan is a pure and kind person. She is so pure and kind that she can have such a high position today. How did you die when you thought the sixth master of the Luo family, how did you destroy the Jiang family when you thought. You Why did Prince Zhao end up in this situation? Qing'er, you should know all this, it's all Princess Wenwan's work."
Wen Wan¡¯s eyes almost popped out, how did this bastard know? Then he realized that he had overreacted, and immediately asked tremblingly. The difference between before and after was only a few seconds. If he were the emperor, he would definitely be able to detect the change in Wen Wan. It's a pity that Bai Shinian is not so keen: "This is impossible, I don't believe it. Princess, princess can't even bear to step on an ant to death. How can you kill people? You are talking nonsense, you are slandering and framed."
Her gentle performance made Bai Shinian think that she was kind (so, what the eyes see and the ears hear may not necessarily be believed. The wise and powerful General Bai Shinian also fell into a misunderstanding): "Don't be sad, these are also It's not Princess Wenwan's fault. This is a life-and-death fight. Either they die or Princess Wenwan dies. So, what you said about Princess Wenwan being reluctant to trample an ant to death may be true. But the premise is that it is an ant. No harm was done to her interests."
Wen Wan said nothing.
Seeing Qing'er understand, Bai Shinian sighed slightly: "Don't think so much. Princess Wenwan has her own way to go and is in a high position. When you gain power and status, you will inevitably lose something. There are gains and losses. .this is the truth."
Wen Wan thought for a while and then asked dully: "Bai Shinian, I want to ask you a question. I have thought about this question for a long time and asked Sister Xia Yao. However, no one gave me an accurate answer. ,Can you tell me?"
Bai Shinian straightened his body: "Say, I will tell you everything I know?"
Wen Wan pursed her lips and asked: "I don't understand. No matter where you say that Prince Zheng is qualified to be the crown prince, you also said that His Highness Prince Zheng will be a wise prince. But why doesn't the emperor make him the crown prince? Why? Let the two factions continue to fight like this. If we establish a prince earlier, wouldn't there be fewer fights? " Wen Wan really can't understand this. If the successor is determined earlier, there won't be so many troubles.
Bai Shinian sighed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, this is for checks and balances. Standing on the clouds, the most fearful thing of the Ninth Five-Year Plan is being seized of power. If a prince is established too early, his power will be weakened, and he may even be replaced by a prince. Your Majesty He is old, but the older he gets, the more he is afraid that his power will be taken away. The reason why the emperor did not appoint King Zheng as the crown prince is to use King Zhao to check King Zheng. Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, the emperor will keep King Zhao until the end.¡±
Bai Shinian saw Wen Wan and said nothing. He continued: "Since ancient times, in the royal family, the father is jealous of the son, the son plots against the father, and the brothers kill each other. Which emperor does not step on the corpses on the ground to ascend to power. However, King Zheng is also a shrewd person. The more the emperor delegates power, the more cautious he becomes. He is conscientious and conscientious, so he has to be praised by the courtiers, and he will not be looked down upon by the emperor. As long as Prince Zheng continues to make no mistakes, and the princess is by his side, the position of crown prince will be in Prince Zheng's pocket. ¡±
Wen Wan¡¯s lips moved several times, but in the end, she said nothing. Wen Wan closed her eyes, fearing that she would be seized of power and become a mere commander. This was the fundamental reason why the emperor's grandfather let King Zhao go. The deep love for her son, the love for her and pampering her beyond all else, compared with the power in her hands, these cannon fodder can be reborn at any time.
Bai Shinian saw Wen Wan and said nothing for a long time: "Don't think so much. Go to sleep, it will be dawn after a while. When you meet your grandmother and father, I will take you to find Princess Wen Wan."
Wen Wan suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart and raised her head to look at the man in front of her: "Bai Shinian, do you like me? Why do you like me?"
Seeing Wen Wan being very serious, Bai Shinian looked like you must answer: "I don't know, maybe this is fate. God has destined us to be destined." Seeing Wen Wan's contempt, he also laughed: " In other words, it is really fate. I have never been interested in women, but I have always been obsessed with you, the little fox. If others knew that I had been intimate with a six-year-old girl, I wonder if they would think I was a pedophile. ¡±
Wen Wan murmured: "Originally, if you can attack a six-year-old child, do you think you are a good thing? You are just a pedophile."
Bai Shinian looked like he had seen a ghost: "You are wrong"Come on, I was forcibly kissed by you, okay? If you tell me this, you won¡¯t be a pedophile, but you will be laughed to death. You are the only one who has used force against me all these years. Only you have made me miss you for so many years. "
Wen Wanpi curled her lips and firmly refused to believe it: "I would be a fool to believe what you say."
Bai Shinian said sincerely, "Really, you are the only one I miss. But I still have many women."
Wen Wan was furious after hearing this and felt that she had suffered a big loss. She is still a virgin. There are so many of them, and they talk so openly. Wen Wan was very angry and felt that she had suffered a big loss. She got up and wanted to beat this shameless guy.
Bai Shinian looked at Wen Wan's angry little face, his face turned red, and he looked like he wanted to kill him. He was in a good mood: "It seems that she will be a fierce woman in the future. Don't be angry, no, even if you boast in front of the brothers, There are many, but I have never met one. I have been in the temple for a long time since I was a child, and I am not very interested in women. Until now, you are the only one who has attracted my attention and made me like you. ¡±
Wen Wan looked disbelieving: "I saw that you were very skillful in your movements just now." That kissing skill. But top notch.
Bai Shinian laughed heartily: "You haven't eaten pork, so you haven't seen pigs running. Those brothers in the military camp used to just talk about women when they had nothing to do. They talked about everything. Once you go back and forth, you will know."
Wen Wan snorted.
Bai Shinian was concerned about what Wen Wan just said: "How did you get through these years? Is it because your family has always bullied you, causing you to suffer a lot of grievances."
Wen Wan is wary. I don¡¯t want to talk anymore, this man is too dangerous. Wisdom. Careful and courageous. It was the most dangerous man she met. If she says something wrong and he catches a loophole and is exposed, she will be trapped for the rest of her life: "It's all over, I don't want to mention it anymore. I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep!"
Bai Shinian was really sleepy when he saw Wen Wan. He stayed up for most of the day. Also a little sleepy.
Seeing that Bai Shinian wanted to hug her again, Wen Wan said angrily, "It's hot."
Bai Shinian looked at the fine sweat on Wen Wan's forehead and didn't force it. He let go of the person, but held his gentle little hand tightly with his big hands. Bai Shinian looked at Wen Wan who was about to get angry, and chuckled: "You'll just get used to it from now on."
Wen Wan had no choice but to let go as if she was resigned to her fate. I have never seen such a man, domineering, strong and unreasonable.
Wen Wan looked up at the man sleeping next to her. Wen Wan looked at Bai Shinian like this, with deep joy on her face. Even when I sleep, I smile. Wen Wan couldn't help but stretched out her hand and looked at this resolute face with rough skin. It must have been exposed to the sun. A pair of jade hands slid up, finally resting on the eyebrows like sword blades.
Wen Wan put down her hands and smiled bitterly, even though the two of them got along for a short time. But she could feel that Bai Shinian was what her uncle said was a responsible, responsible man who could protect her from wind and rain. It's a pity that the two met by chance. It would have been great if they had met such a man in the previous life. She can be pampered and loved as much as she wants, and she is willing to be a happy little woman relying on her husband's protection. It's a pity that I met him in this life by mistake. She no longer needs to rely on anyone, and she can no longer rely on anyone.
Bai Shinian was actually pretending to sleep. He felt his chest was cold. When he opened his eyes, there were tears in his eyes. Bai Shinian hurriedly wiped her tears, "What's wrong? Wife, what's wrong with you? What's the matter? Tell me. Don't suffer alone?"
Wen Wan did not say the reason, nor did she say that she was actually afraid. Afraid of the ruthless palace, afraid that she would no longer be herself after wearing the mask for a long time, afraid that she would become someone who scared her like a good concubine. I am afraid that as Bai Shinian said, I will be alone in this life just like in my previous life. Wen Wan thought about herself in her previous life, and then thought about herself that had changed beyond recognition. It had been seven years. In seven years, she had been completely changed by the emperor. He is no longer the gentle person he was before. She has changed, and she is really afraid that she will not recognize her by then.
Bai Shinian called out in a low voice: "Qing'er, Qing'er. Don't cry. If something happens, don't keep it in your heart." Wen Wan listened to the voice, which frightened her. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Bai Shinian.
Wen Wan looked at the large and small scars on Bai Shinian's body. Wiping away tears, he asked, "How many times have you been injured? So many scars? There won't be any sequelae, right?"
Seeing the criss-crossed marks on his body, Bai Shinian didn't frighten Wen Wan, and showed a cheerful smile: "Twenty-six injuries were all sustained while killing Japanese pirates. There will be no sequelae. Don't worry, we will I will grow old together and won¡¯t leave you alone.¡±
"That's amazing." Wen Wan finished speaking and didn't continue talking.
Bai Shinian didn't speak to her, he just held Wen Wan's hand.
Wen Wan smiled bitterly, probably because she was afraid that she would run away! It's getting late, it's almost dawn. It's time to act. He put his arms around Bai Shinian's neck and gave him a warm hug. A farewell hug. While holding Bai Shinian's neck, he was thinking about where to strike, if he could hit it with one hit. Make him faint.
Bai Shinian felt Wen Wan's initiative. This was the first time Qing'er took the initiative. His whole body seemed to be touched by electricity, his whole body was numb, his heart was pounding, and he was filled with joy, and his movements became gentler. Bai Shinian broke Wen Wan's hands around his neck and held Wen Wan close to him like a porcelain vase doll: "Daughter-in-law, it's so nice."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Tender and speechless. She wanted to find a suitable position to knock someone unconscious, not throw herself into her arms as he thought. But this man is really too keen.
Look for opportunities, you will always find them. (To be continued)
