    That night, the emperor hired Xu Xiurong to sleep with him.  When the ancient emperor died, the new emperor counted one day as a year, as long as he stayed for twenty-seven days.  The rest are descendants who are greater than the sky.  (Of course, if you are willing to be a monk for three years, let¡¯s talk separately).  Now that the emperor has been observing filial piety for a hundred days, it is completely normal for him to recruit concubines to sleep with him.  If we don¡¯t do it, it will cause controversy!

    On the second day, Wen Wan heard that it was Xu Jingqiu asking for a meeting again, and Xia Yao told Wen Wan what happened last night.  Wen Wan's eyes flashed with disgust.  It was the first time for Xu Jingqiu who always treated others as fools and dared to use her so blatantly.  Wenwan asked Xia Qiao to send a message that she was sleeping and asked her to go back.  He also said that he would take a rest in the future and not be disturbed.

    Xia Qiao said it very tactfully, and her words would not offend anyone.  Otherwise, I am afraid that someone will say that the princess is arrogant because of her pampering.  In fact, the real reason is that Wen Wan is thinking about the little love we had when we played together.  Otherwise, it would not be so easy to disappear.  She didn't like Xu Jingqiu in the first place, and now she had ruined even this little bit of love.  Naturally, she would not give any more face.

    For the sake of Prince Zheng, Wen Wan had been enduring the concubine Xian¡¯s plot against her in the palace.  She still has to endure it now, but her endurance is not that good.  She is interested in the emperor's uncle's harem.  If you really dare to mess with her, she won't even give you the queen's face.  Of course, the queen herself didn't take the wrong medicine to mess with her.

    However, Wen Wan's absence did not affect the emperor's mood.  That night, the emperor invited Xu Jingqiu to sleep with him.  Many well-informed people know cause and effect at once.

    Now, the gentle Yongning Palace is bustling.  The emperor had just ascended the throne, but he did not accept any concubines.  But the original quota is full.  There are more than ten wives and little wives in total.  Now in the palace, except for the queen and the fourth concubine.  There are still Zhaoyi and Shuyuan  Counting carefully, there were more than ten people who came to visit.

    Wen Wan¡¯s head is getting big, even though she still doesn¡¯t see anyone.  But they always come in and say that such-and-such empress is here, as if she is the piece of cake.  Everyone wants to take a bite.

    Wen Wan was bored after hearing this, but then she thought about it and thought it would be better this way.  I was planning in my mind to take advantage of this opportunity.  It¡¯s okay to leave the palace.  It's really annoying to go back to your own house and live in the palace.  Grandpa Emperor would be fine then.  There are only a few queens.  And they all keep to themselves.  There are quite a few women here.  After a while, he will elect to enter the palace.  It¡¯s even more of a headache.

    "Uncle Emperor, please tell them not to come. I have a headache from the trouble. I have just recovered from my illness. If they continue to make trouble, my head will hurt even more and I will have to take medicine again. You also know that I am most sick.  I hate taking medicine." Wen Wan grabbed the emperor's sleeve pitifully and shook her head coquettishly.

    The emperor felt soft-hearted for a while.  Agree immediately.

    "Wen Wan has not recovered from her illness, so please do not disturb her. Otherwise, I will take it seriously." The emperor issued an imperial edict, and only then did Wen Wan become purified.

    "Princess, the Empress Xiu Rong would like to see you." This time the emperor did not issue an order for the next day.  Jingqiu came to the door again.  After hearing this, Wen Wan's eyes moved.  No answer.  Why, do you want to show everyone that you have a different relationship with her?  You really treat yourself like a dish.

    "Why are you doing this? The princess is taking a rest. Please tell Empress Xiu Rong to come another day. No matter who comes, they all say that the princess is taking a rest." Xia Yao's face was not good-looking.

    The last time I was hosted by Xia Xiang, it was not a loss of face to be treated by the gentle personal maid in Yongning Palace.  But this time, it was a little palace maid who replied.

    "The princess has taken a rest." It was not yet noon, so why did she take a rest? Jingqiu naturally didn't believe it.  Xiao Cui, the personal maid next to her, stuffed a red envelope to the little maid.

    "The princess doesn't want to be disturbed, so she doesn't see any outsiders. She doesn't see anyone. Except for the emperor, the princess doesn't see anyone now." The palace maid said softly.

    Jingqiu¡¯s eyes suddenly shrank, revealing a fierce light.  The palace maid was startled and quickly backed away.  If someone reports it again, the result will still be the same.

    Xu Jingqiu was extremely heartbroken and filled with sadness: "Wen Wan, you are the only one who can help me, why can't you help me. I don't want you to do anything, just let me talk to you more and stay with you,  Why don't you even agree to this small request? Why, if you can help Mei'er and Yuxiu and seek welfare for Yiyi Yutong, why can't you help me? "

    After Xu Jingqiu left, this little palace maid was also sent away.  Because of her talkativeness, she was beaten ten times and then sent away.  Working in Yongning Palace is the best job.  You won't be beaten, just do what you are doing.  This little maid came in because she wanted a lot.  Unexpectedly, I would be kicked out if I said too much.

    "You girl, what are you worried about? Let Xu Xiurong chat with you. If you have someone to talk to you, you won't be so bored. With uncle here, who can bully you?" The emperor got the news and looked at Wen Wan  I'm still so cautious, I feel so distressed.

    Because of his previous rivalry with King Zhao, Wen Wan had to carefully deal with Concubine Xian's conspiracy in the palace, so that he could win the attention and respect of his father.  Now that he has ascended the throne as emperor, Wen Wan is still so cautious and afraid of offending others, which makes the emperor feel bitter.

    "It's strange that I'm not afraid! I still don't know how I got seriously ill. How I got such a strange poison. I'm really afraid of them. I still stay as far away from them as possible. Uncle,  Are the people in my palace trustworthy now? You don¡¯t know, every time I eat, I feel frightened, fearing that something unknown will be dropped into me and my life will be lost if I¡¯m not careful.  How unfair it is. Now that the good times have finally come, I feel so sorry for losing my life." Wen Wan pretended to be scared.  In fact, she wanted to leave the palace. She didn't want to live in the palace all the time.  As the saying goes, three women perform one play. With so many people here, we don¡¯t know how many plays are performed every day.  As far away as she can.

    But she said it many times, but the emperor didn't agree.  It was almost the Lantern Festival, but the emperor still didn't let go.  Can Wenwan not be anxious?  She didn't want to stay here forever, it would be boring to death.

    "Don't worry, my uncle will protect you. If anyone dares to touch Wan'er's hair, my uncle will kill him from all nine tribes." The emperor said sinisterly.

    Wen Wan shook her head: "It's so serious. I just don't like it here. It's too noisy here and it's not as clean as before." Of course it's not as clean as before. In the past, there were only two high-ranking concubines in the palace.  Now.  Adding up the above, there are five above the concubine, the middle is the concubine, the low is

    The emperor said nothing and refused silently.

    Wen Wan is very depressed.  She really doesn't want to live here.  The current palace is even more complicated than the previous Prince Zheng's palace.  She doesn't want to work hard to balance the relationship between the various forces.  Staying away from everyone is the best choice.  It is those princes who will compete for the throne in the future.  She won't get involved either.  Of course, by then, these people will not be the emperor¡¯s grandfather and uncle.  Dare to use her as a piece of paper or a chess piece.  She wouldn't be so polite.

    "Princess, these are the two new maids sent by the emperor." Wen Wan murmured in her heart, wondering what kind of maids should be sent to her.  Could it be because what I said yesterday had an effect?  He said that because he wanted to have a palace, not because he wanted someone.

    However, he still raised his head and looked at the two palace maids.  One is bright and dignified, the other is quiet and chaste.  Both of them were about twenty-four or five years old.  Wen Wan was very depressed. She was just a pretty little beauty, and when she found two beauties to accompany her, she couldn't be the green leaf to complement their two red flowers.  Coupled with Xia Yao beside her, Wen Wan felt that she couldn't even become a green leaf.  It becomes grass directly.  The grass sets off the beauty of the red flowers!

    There are so many beauties in this harem, there is no draft yet, we need to do another draft.  She has to go to every corner.

    Wenwan¡¯s attitude towards her lack of appearance and lack of confidence left Xia Yao speechless.  No matter how beautiful the person is, she stands beside the princess.  It was just a backdrop for the princess.  No matter how unattractive she is, if she has the same face as the emperor, she is still the most beautiful in the world (because she benefits too much).  What's more, when she dresses up gently, she can be considered a beauty, not to mention a peerless beauty.

    Of course, Wen Wan said this not because Wen Wan was inferior to her appearance, but because she felt that her appearance could only be considered average. Tell the truth, "What are your names?"

    Wen Wan looked at the two newcomers and glanced at Xia Yao.  Xia Yao knew that Wen Wan could not speak, and she would never speak.  It had become a habit for her.

    The two said in unison, please give the princess a name.

    Wenwan grabs her left hand with her right hand (grabbing the back of the head is not etiquette), and she has become an expert on naming.  Let the bright and dignified woman be called Xia Yan, and the quiet and chaste woman be called Xia Xian.  Now, in addition to the two personal maids Xia Yao and Xia Ying, there are six more maids who serve on her side, namely Xia Xiang, Xia Yan, Xia Xian, Xia Chu, Xia Qiu, and Xia Qiao.  As for Xia Zhu and Xia Xin, they are helping Wen Wan look after the house in the princess's mansion.

    In ancient times, women usually started dating at the age of sixteen or seventeen.  Basically, everyone cannot marry by the age of twenty-four or five.  These two people are also in their twenties. Why does the emperor's grandfather like to give him a girl of such an age? The emperor's uncle is the same.  Could it be that he wants them to serve him like this for the rest of his life?  But she was surrounded by unmarried girls, which made her feel guilty!  This makes it difficult for them to find husbands and is purely causing trouble for themselves.

    "What are you good at? What do you like?" Wen Wan looked at them and asked.

    "My servant is good at embroidery, and my servant is good at cooking." After listening to Wen Wan, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain it.  But looking at the calm faces of the two people, turning around and seeing Xia Ying, I finally knew something was wrong.

    It is said that there are already people around her who are good at cooking and embroidery.  The emperor's uncle cannot do anything unnecessary.  I guess these two were the ones chosen to do that  Well, having one more capable person will give you more protection.

    "Princess, this is the latest ingredient sent to you by the emperor. Take a look. If you don't like it, ask them to send another batch." Wen Wan looked at so many ingredients and curled her lips.  The supply of precious materials such as jade brocade and gold brocade is limited, only about ten pieces a year.  Sometimes even the imperial concubine couldn't get it, but half of it found its way into her treasury.  He is not afraid of making those concubines resentful.

    Let it be taken to the warehouse.  Not doing it for now.  She already has a lot of clothes, but she still wants to grow taller. Why make so many clothes? There is nothing to waste.  When she turns sixteen and stops growing, she can make more clothes by then.

    Over the past year or so, Wen Wan has grown taller again, reaching 1.61 meters.  Fifteen years old and 1.61 meters is not short.  But Wenwan still thought she was short, so she decided to work hard and try to make herself at least 1.65 meters taller.  And she must be strong and strong, not compared to the beauties in the palace who can fall down in the wind.

    In Kunning Palace, the queen said earnestly, "Ruyu, you and Wenwan were good friends before. From now on, it's better to move around more."

    Looking at the emperor, the first thing that comes to mind is Wen Wan.  Although Wen Wan does nothing in the harem.  But everyone knows that Wen Wan's status is not inferior to her as a queen.  She even has a higher status than her as a queen, because what she says is very effective and the emperor will listen to her in all likelihood.  Invisibly, her status is higher than her, the queen.

    But there is something wrong with Wen Wan. In the harem, Wen Wan does not have a close relationship with the women in the harem, but she also does not want to alienate people in a disgusting way.  Not too far, not too close, just right.  If it weren't for future plans, no one would pay attention to Wen Wan.  Because of this scruple, the relationship between Wen Wan and Ru Yu is mediocre.

    Ruyu also knew what was going on.  The queen agreed with her face.  But I was smiling bitterly in my heart.  Ever since Wen Wan married into the palace, she was no longer as affectionate as she was before. She only followed the rules of etiquette and refused to go beyond them.  During her illness, even when she went to visit, she could not see anyone.  The reason cannot be refuted by anyone, for fear of overcoming the illness.

    Ruyu knew that Wenwan was not targeting herself.  She did the same to Jingqiu.  Jingqiu is now the third-level concubine of the father.  She thought of many ways to get close to Wen Wan, except for the first few times when Wen Wan met her out of affection.  Once he knew what she was up to, he immediately stayed away from her.  Now Wenwan is extremely unfamiliar with her and Di Jingqiu.

    Ruyu understood very well.  Wen Wan has always been an exquisite and transparent person.  She must have known that for the emperor's love, who else could compete with her.  Even the queen had to give in to her.  Therefore, there is no need for her to curry favor or seek refuge with anyone.  She is not friendly with anyone and does not get involved in the fights between women in the harem.  This is where gentleness and intelligence come into play.  Don't get involved in any force, making everyone angry and hateful, but there is nothing they can do about it.  And because they were living outside, no one could eat anyway, so they all breathed a sigh of relief in anger.

    Ru Yu knew clearly that Wen Wan hated the almost calculated approach of these condoms, so how could she rush forward?  She knows Wen Wan's temperament very well. Although Wen Wan's temper is a little cold, Wen Wan is a very affectionate person. If she is really in trouble and asks for help, she will definitely help her if Wen Wan can help her within her ability.  But Ruyu also understands that this kind of love will be lost every time it is used.  The opportunity to ask for mercy must be reserved for when you need it most.  Other times, she would never talk about those little things, so as not to ruin her relationship with Wen Wan.  The gain outweighs the loss.  (To be continued)
