    203: King Heng returns to Beijing

    The news that King Heng returned to the capital was like a stone falling on a calm lake in the court that had been quiet for a few days.

    When King Heng entered the palace, Wen Wan was by his side.  Wen Wan was originally prepared to avoid it.  But the emperor sent a eunuch to call him over.  Wen Wan enters the Palace of Yanghe with her front foot, and Queen Heng enters the palace with her rear foot.

    As soon as King Heng entered the Yanghe Hall, he knelt in front of the emperor, hugged the emperor's feet, and cried bitterly: "Father, my son is not filial and cannot serve you. I think about my father day and night, and hear the emperor's body  If something happens to me, I wish I could take my father's place."

    It was so touching to cry.

    Eunuch Wen was comforting him so much that the emperor was moved to tears in his eyes.

    Wenwan, watching from the side, well, she cried well, and her tears did not damage her image at all.  The image of a son who misses his old father and cannot return home is well established.

    ??????????????? The gentleness doesn¡¯t show on the face, but in the heart, she doesn¡¯t take it seriously.  What does this mean? When my uncle, his son, has so many grandchildren, her granddaughter is dead.  He is the only one who is filial and still thinks about it day and night. Is it true that he thinks about that chair day and night?

    King Heng stood up, and the surrounding maids brought water to cleanse his face.  Wen Wan waited for him to clean it up, then walked forward with a smile and made a blessing ceremony.  She showed her filial piety as soon as she came in. How could she see her niece?

    Only then did Wen Wan look at King Heng carefully.  I remember seeing the emperor¡¯s grandfather on his sixtieth birthday.  At that time, I had no impression of King Heng.  Now, I see it clearly.

    King Heng was dressed in a silver-white dark gold brocade suit, with a belt of the same color tied around his waist. There was a bright Dadong bead in the middle.  There is only one jasper hairpin stuck in the black hair on the head. The jade is of excellent quality and emerald green.  Hanging on the waist is a white jade hollow dragon-shaped pendant.  A pair of thin and long phoenix eyes.  The dark pupils are unfathomable.

    When Wen Wan was looking at King Heng, King Heng was also looking at Wen Wan.

    Wen Wan wears a light rose red embroidered yellow magnolia dress; on each wrist she wears a pair of gold-wired pink hibiscus jade bracelets.  She wears a flowing bun, and wears a red emerald beaded crest with golden steps on her head, like a delicate peach blossom; on her ears, she wears a pair of emerald and emerald earrings, swaying with light.

    King Heng¡¯s heart froze. The little girl who was ignorant seven years ago was ignored by everyone before the banquet that day.  Who could have imagined.  It was this mute who was ignored by others who changed the fate of Lao Ba and the structure of the court.

    King Heng said with a smile: "I didn't expect that after seven years of not seeing each other, our little Wenwan has grown into a big girl, and she has become more and more beautiful."

    This is the truth, Wen Wan is really beautiful and moving now.  However, there are still faint scars that have not receded on the face (this is also to prevent Bai Shinian from being suspected. Therefore, he continues to pretend to have scars on his face. Anyway, scars are big or small, they are all scars).  Wen Wan is now fourteen and looks outstanding.  The color is not bad.  Dressed like this, he is weaker than anyone else.

    Wen Wan smiled tactfully and thanked King Heng with a smile.  Be well behaved and don¡¯t mess with any etiquette.

    The emperor was so familiar with Wen Wan that he could see Wen Wan's thoughts with every smile and movement.  The emperor could see clearly that Wen Wan was repulsive to King Heng.  Rejection from the bottom of my heart.

    The reason for gently persuading King Zheng to love his brothers is because King Zheng must show his attitude if he wants to be the emperor.  The friendly brothers reassured the emperor.  And she, who she is, she is gentle.  A person who has been withdrawn since childhood, not good at making friends with others, and has a serious mind.  So if she doesn't like it, she shows it on her face.  Anyway, there is no hindrance.

    Finished meeting King Heng.  Wen Wan told the emperor that she should return to Yongning Palace and she still had to do her homework.  The homework that Wen Wan said was that she has recently been busy understanding the economic situation of Daqi.  The more Wen Wan knew, the more headache she got.  Disadvantages.  Not even a little bit.  It is not that difficult to improve Daqi's economy.

    ?????????????????????? Well, the only advantage is that my uncle is in the same year and is only thirty-three years old this year (King Zheng is exactly twenty years older than Wen Wan).  There is plenty of time and enough time.

    The emperor was very pleased to see that Wen Wan spent a lot of time on serious things every day.  It doesn't take up her time either.

    Wenwan is very disciplined in doing things. She will formulate strict procedures before doing things. When she acts, she strictly follows the rules she has set and does not act carelessly.  For example, getting up in the morning to do boxing and practicing calligraphy in the evening. Since Wen Wan returned to the capital, unless she is sick or has an accident, she has persisted every day.  Not a single discount.  This persistence for seven years and this kind of will made the emperor very sorry.  If Wen Wan was his grandson, no one would have to fight. He would pass the throne directly to the emperor's grandson.  It's a pity, but fortunately Lao Ba is also a good one.  Being gentle and willing to contribute, he will be the best in the future.

    Wen Wan saluted the emperor, and then saluted King Heng.  Out of Yanghe Hall.  Wenwan who didn¡¯t care much at firstAfter leaving Yongning Palace, his dignified expression became serious.  It's not that Wen Wan is afraid of King Heng, she always feels that if King Heng really stays, it will cause a lot of trouble.

    Wen Wan thought about it and threw it away.  Creating trouble also creates trouble for Uncle Zheng.  The shortcomings of the imperial court are the real trouble. Prince Heng has no problem troubling his uncle.  As long as Concubine De doesn't have any ideas about her, she will be happy and at ease.

    Wen Wan was reading something in the study, when Xia Yao saw that the gift from King Heng had arrived.  Wen Wan looked at the gift list, which was very thick.  Wen Wan scanned it casually without looking at it carefully. Anyway, she had too many good things on hand, and there wasn't anything that would make her eyes light up.  He put the bright red gift list aside and continued to nibble on the things in his hands.  There is still a big pile in the house, and there are many things that have not been taken over.  Wen Wan said that the pressure was not as great as usual.

    Xia Yao took a brocade box from the gift list and said with a smile: "Princess, look. The jewelry in this box is so beautiful."

    Wen Wan is a little curious.  If you can make Xia Yao say beautiful things, it must be the best.  Let him open the brocade box and see what Xia Yao is selling.  When she opened it, her eyes really lit up.

    There is a complete set of jewelry in the brocade box: hairpin, earrings, bead chain, bracelet, and ring.  These jewelry are all made of glass imperial green jade.  The glass imperial green is the jade with the best color and the highest value.  The color is pure and rich, with blue tones in the green; the texture is bright, clear and delicate, giving people a noble beauty.

    She smiled gently and let him take it.  Xia Yao smiled and said: "Princess Princess. Also, do you want to take a look?"

    Wen Wan glanced at Xia Yao doubtfully, how could this woman be so elegant today?  It's not like she hasn't seen good things before.  However, when she brought over another brocade box, she could understand why Xia Yao was so interested.  For no other reason than women love hard-to-find unique jewelry.

    The second brocade box is a jade bracelet.  The material is gold wire red jade.  The color is as transparent as red clouds, and the jade bracelet is filled with beautiful gold threads.  In comparison, although it is not as good as the glass imperial green just now, it is also one of the rarest jadeite in the world and the best jadeite!

    ???????? Gentle and funny.  Unexpectedly, all the people now.  The gifts are either jade or pearls.  There are a lot of them in her warehouse.  And the ones given to her are definitely of hard-to-find varieties.  I was still interested at first, but now I have no interest at all.  Wen Wan only took one more look at these two treasures that were put aside in the eyes of ordinary people and let them go.

    It was almost lunch time when the emperor sent a message.  Let her go and have a meal.

    Wen Wan changed her clothes and replaced the regular clothes she had just worn with a sapphire blue embroidered peony and phoenix pattern cloud brocade double-breasted palace dress.  She had a high bun.  She only wore an eight-tailed phoenix hairpin (the one she saw Bai Shinian wearing last time), earrings with emerald green beads on her ears, and a dragon and phoenix bracelet on her wrist.  One pair of hands, the fingers were coated with kodan, and they wore golden armor gloves.

    Wen Wan¡¯s outfit is noble and gorgeous, with a graceful and calm demeanor.

    The emperor rarely saw Wen Wan wearing costumes, because Wen Wan was only seen during festivals.  Never dress up.  When King Zheng was around, he also liked to make jokes and pretend to arouse the atmosphere.  Today, the emperor sees Wen Wan.  His gentle expression was the same as before, and he smiled gracefully.  You can tell at a glance that this is a standard smile cultivated by the upbringing nanny.

    The emperor saw it, and so did King Heng.  Wen Wan hasn't waited for King Heng to ask questions.  He stepped forward and thanked Prince Heng: "Your Majesty, the princess said that the princess liked the gift that the prince gave her very much. Thank you, my lord." When elders give gifts to younger ones, they can only accept them.  There is no valid reason.  Can't refuse.  Of course, Wen Wan didn't want to refuse.  There is no need to reciprocate, and you have to refuse anything you do.  Only a fool refuses.

    King Heng saw the alienation in Wen Wan's polite manners and felt very uncomfortable. It could be seen from Wen Wan's dress that he wanted to be clearly separate from him.  But she was gentle and courteous, and couldn't find anything inappropriate about her.  This is how a woman from a noble family should be.  Strictly observe the rules and behave appropriately.  Wen Wan did a good job. In terms of etiquette alone, the emperor couldn't find a single fault.

    When dining, Wen Wan is also a standard lady.  Eat in small bites, move gracefully, and show good rest in every move.

    Xia Yao looked at it and wanted to laugh.  Because Wenwan at this time is more like performing than eating.  Although the princess has passed away, she still eats elegantly and dignifiedly.  But today's elegance feels fake.

    After lunch, King Heng went to Changchun Palace.

    Wen Wan flashed her watery almond eyes, as if to say, I can go back and take a nap!

    The emperor smiled and asked: "Wen Wan, you don't like your thirteenth uncle?"

    Wen Wan looked very confused and muttered: "Your Majesty, the princess said. She doesn't like it. Prince Heng is the princess's uncle and an elder, so he should be filial."

    "My gentle temperament will not change even after seven years."Change.  Towards those whom one does not agree with, one should always be polite and polite, wanting to get close to them, but apologizing for not being familiar with them.  No matter how tall King Heng is, don't think that Wen Wan can treat him as one of his relatives.

    The emperor also knew Wen Wan¡¯s temperament and didn¡¯t say much: ¡°Grandpa wants to keep your uncle, what do you think?¡±

    Wen Wan continued to blink her watery, clear eyes, and Xia Yao suppressed a smile in her heart.  Every time the princess wants to be good, she always looks like this.  Sure enough, Wen Wan took the emperor's arm and acted coquettishly.

    The emperor didn¡¯t buy it now and asked again.

    The reason why the emperor asked this is very simple. Gentleness can affect King Zheng.  Wen Wan saw that Ma Guai couldn't get through, so she had to say sincerely: "The emperor's grandpa misses his young son, so naturally he wants to keep Uncle Heng Wang in the capital. It's good for more than one person to accompany the emperor's grandpa."

    In Wen Wan¡¯s words, the emphasis is on the word ¡®accompany¡¯, not ¡®help¡¯.  One word difference makes a world of difference.

    The emperor naturally heard the implication of the gentle words: "Now that grandpa is old, your eighth uncle can't do it alone. It just so happens that your uncle Heng Wang comes back to help."

    Wen Wan smiled brightly after hearing this: "Of course that's good, it's definitely good to have someone to share the burden with. My uncle is so busy, and Wen Wan feels very distressed when he sees it. I just hope that Uncle Zheng won't get busier and busier. This is the way it is. Wen Wan  Wan Ke can't bear to leave. Grandpa Emperor, don't bring any trouble to your uncle!" Wen Wan's last sentence points out that King Heng is also ambitious.  Why is King Zheng getting busier and busier? It must be because someone is holding him back.

    Xia Yao shook her head inwardly, the grandfather and grandson were getting better and better at playing riddles.

    The emperor was thoughtful.

    When King Heng came back, he did not entrust him with important tasks as expected.  Instead, he often went to the palace and occasionally accompanied the emperor.  He spent most of his time with his mother, Concubine De.  even.  The family of three is happy together and often has dinner together in the Changchun Palace.

    Wenwan went there once and protested to the emperor.  She said that she had eaten two bowls of rice when she went back (Wenwan's meal was just two bowls). The emperor was speechless and had to let her go.

    King Heng looked favored.  But that's all superficial.  King Heng could not stay too long in the Yanghe Hall.  And Wen Wan spent half the day with the emperor in the Yanghe Hall.  To be precise, Wen Wan is listening to politics.  Wen Wan's mentality has changed now, and she is no longer as good as before when it comes to government matters.  When Uncle Zheng ascended the throne as emperor, the first thing he faced was the lack of money in the treasury.  All she had in her hands now were paper objects, and she was following the emperor.  But I can hear it with my own ears, see it with my own eyes, and touch it personally.  This kind of information is the most authentic.

    Wen Wan thinks this is good.  Lay the foundation now, and wait until the time comes before taking action.  Maybe she could still make a career in ancient times.  Pretty good too.  It's better than staying in the house and embroidering every day.  Moreover, when doing business, the bigger the business, the more powerful one can become (this power is just to protect one's own power, not to expand power in the court).  Be able to control your own destiny.  She no longer wanted to be a chess piece that could be discarded casually like before.

    When your mentality changes, your attitude will be different.  Wenwan studies hard and learns what she doesn¡¯t understand.  If you don¡¯t know, ask Xia Yao for advice. If you still don¡¯t know, ask the emperor directly.  The emperor talked about Wen Wan in great detail.

    The days are spent in this strange attitude.  In a blink of an eye, it was Duke Ping's sixtieth birthday.  Although Wenwan doesn¡¯t want to go.  But as Wen Wan's granddaughter and everyone's attention, she must go.

    Wen Wan said to the emperor that day, "Grandpa, I will go back tonight and return to the palace the day after tomorrow." Wen Wan planned to spend two nights at her home.  It¡¯s been a long time since I spent time in my own little home.  Maybe.  This is the last time.  Wenwan is preparing to move her home to the Mirror Garden after celebrating the New Year.  Yushangtang and Zhenzhen are separated.

    Wen Wan didn¡¯t know what happened at the princess¡¯s mansion, and it was impossible for Xia Tian and Mama Gu to gamble on him with such trivial matters.  It's Wenwan who wants to move to the Mirror Garden and live in a bird cage instead of her own top-notch villa. Is she stupid?

    The emperor knew that tomorrow was the 60th birthday of Duke Ping. As his granddaughter, Wen Wan would definitely go back, so he nodded in agreement.  Just ask her to come back soon.  Being gentle and gentle makes me feel at ease.  He is old, and now there is only one person around him who treats him sincerely.  I can no longer stand the fact that this child has a lot of ups and downs.

    As for King Heng, the emperor originally wanted him to have a good relationship with King Zheng, so that he could be favored by King Zheng in the future. After all, he was the youngest son, so it would inevitably hurt him more.  I want to make up for something missing from King Zhao from King Heng.  Because of his gentle words, the emperor decided to take a look first, so he didn't give him any errands yet.  But these days, King Heng has been making a lot of moves overtly and covertly.

    Although he is reluctant to delegate power, he is also jealous of Lao Ba.  But he also had to admit that what King Zheng did was very much in line with his wishes.  Although the situation was excellent, King Zheng did not expand his power.  The emperor understood very well that this should be Wen Wan's contribution, Wen Wan definitelyI persuaded Lao Ba.  Since my son has the heart and ability, I have no intention of taking away his power now.  Why should he bother himself?  At that time, it will not only hurt the relationship between father and son.  It also hurt the brotherhood.

    Wenwan returned home that night.  It's normal for a cheap brother to not be able to get married and not receive the gifts.  But if my grandfather doesn't live until his birthday, he is a typical unfilial descendant.  So this time, she had to go back.

    Shang Tang received the news early and greeted him at the door.  Because they are brothers and sisters in name, they are naturally not allowed to be so polite.  Entering the house, he asked strangely, "Where is my sister-in-law?"

    "I'm in the house! I saw the doctor in the first half of the month and he said that I'm more than a month pregnant. Today when I was walking, I almost slipped and had fetal pressure. I'm not yet stable yet. The doctor said I need to have a good rest."  Tang's expression was very relaxed, and he probably thought nothing would happen.

    He is now a fifth-grade household minister, and in just over four years, he has been promoted to the fifth level.  His father Ping Xiangxi is now only a fourth-rank official.  Officials were promoted so quickly that in the entire Da Qi Dynasty for more than two hundred years, they never received more than one slap.  The other few are all Nenshi.  Ping Shangtang himself knew very well that his official position rose so quickly because of Wen Wan's influence.

    The reason why his superiors and colleagues are polite to him is because his sister is a distinguished princess.  Otherwise, it's good enough not to show off.

    After years of training, I am no longer the stupid kid who didn¡¯t understand anything.  There is a sense of propriety in doing things and being a person.  He knew that he relied on Wen Wan's light. Not to mention repaying him, at least he couldn't cause any trouble to Wen Wan.  Therefore, if there is nothing important, I will never bother to be gentle.  Even if I occasionally suffer the jealousy of some people, I still endure it.  Don't want to cause trouble.

    Wen Wan thought to herself that her sowing ability is pretty good.  But she still asked with concern whether getting pregnant so soon would harm her body.  This seems to be a time difference, only half a year!  I remember that the time difference seems to be too short, which will cause great damage to the mother's body.

    "Don't worry, the doctor said that Zhenzhen's body is in good health, and the interval is not too short. The doctor said that there is nothing serious." Shang Tang reassured him.  Having said that, Wen Wan still made a special trip to visit.

    She really saw Wen Wan wearing a veil on her face, and she couldn't see what Wen Wan's face looked like.  But looking at the gentle appearance, there shouldn't be a big problem.  Seeing Wen Wan walking again, she was as light as a swallow, as energetic as the morning sun, and she didn't look like she was recovering from a serious injury.  He was muttering in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.  I had previously thought of going out alone, but Shangtang denied it.  For no other reason than his official career, he couldn't part with it.  It won't be too late to break up after Wenwan gets married.  But that will have to be at least three years later.

    Zhenzhen said to Gu¡¯s mother, but looked at Wenwan with some worry.  Wen Wan's expression remains as usual, but in fact Wen Wan's attitude towards Zhen Zhen is just a matter of morality.  Now that such a long time has passed, emotional alienation is inevitable.

    After a few gentle greetings and concerns, she returned to Hengfang Pavilion, even though her status now is not as good as before.  But the decoration here has not changed at all.  Still as simple as ever.  I just planted some flowers and plants, and placed a few bonsais for decoration.  The rooms inside are also filled with valuable decorations.  To say it's expensive, just a few words say it's expensive. The decoration is very elegant, and it makes people feel comfortable when they walk in.

    Wenwan freshened herself up and squinted her eyes for a while.

    "Princess, the young master is here." Xia Ying said beside him.  Wen Wan nodded and asked him to go to the study to wait for her, and then go there after changing clothes.

    Shang Tang is waiting in Wen Wan¡¯s study.  Although he is the gentle brother, he is also the head of the family here.  But usually, if nothing happened, he would not come to Hengfang Pavilion, let alone Wen Wan's study.  Even if he comes, he comes in in a hurry and goes out after talking.  This will be here, take a closer look.

    The layout of the study room is similar to that of my own place. Paper, inkstones, and pens are placed on a desk, all classified into different categories.  There are four chairs placed under the desk.  The only difference is that the bookcases are filled with all kinds of books.  Most of them are books such as travel journals, and the most common ones are chess records.  There are also books such as poems, songs, and the Four Books and Five Classics.  Shang Tang glanced at it and saw that there were several Western books.

    Western books, Shang Tang looked at the sign and didn¡¯t know what the twisted thing on it was.  But he also knew that his sister was knowledgeable and also liked Western gadgets.

    "Sister." Shang Tang looked at Wen Wan walking over, looked up, was stunned for a while, and then became normal again.  He nodded secretly in his mind.

    Because Wen Wan was in her own yard, she didn¡¯t have any hair after taking a bath.  She just held it up gently with a golden ribbon and wore a white pajama with two little white rabbits embroidered on it, which was very cute.  She didn't wear any accessories on her body. Even so, it made her look quiet and pleasant.

    After this shock, Wen Wan¡¯s weight isSoared and lost more than ten kilograms.  The emperor felt so distressed that he took supplements every day, but Wen Wan refused to eat. He was very careful during the recovery process, so he did not gain weight.  So now Wenwan, although there is still some baby fat on her face, it is no longer as round as before.  If this trend continues, not only will she become a beautiful woman, she will at least become a beauty.  (To be continued)
