In Kunning Palace, the emperor heard the news. Knowing that the emperor invited Dr. Mu. It didn't take long to go to Xuan Wenwan.
The visitor said to the Queen: "My Lady, I did hear laughter in the Yanghe Hall."
The queen's face turned a little pale. It seems that the emperor has recovered. Otherwise, why would he smile so brightly when he was the miracle doctor? Thinking of Wen Wan's sudden weakness, the queen murmured: "Wen Wan, are you really a monster?"
The confidant next to her, Pei Pei, quickly interrupted the queen: "Your Majesty, please don't be confused. Nowadays, people say that Princess Wenwan is a Bodhisattva who descended to earth and accumulated good karma. If these words are heard by someone who is interested, it will reach the ears of the emperor. Here. Madam, that¡¯s terrible.¡±
The Queen was silent. Thinking of the flag raised by King Zhao, hey, even if it is a monster, he can't get rid of it. From now on, I have no choice but to serve as a tribute to the Bodhisattva. However, I can't move.
When the Queen was depressed, Sicong was holding Concubine Shu and crying hard, "Concubine, why, why did the father treat me like this? I am his biological daughter. Why can't I compare to her in the heart of the father? Why, What's so good about being gentle and gentle? "The period of filial piety was in November, and the princess's mansion was originally going to be built. But the emperor said that we should save money. He also took the lead in cooking by himself and changed the eighty-one dishes to eight. All previous expenses have been halved.
Naturally, the imperial palace also followed this trend. The emperor took the lead and the concubines in the harem were not allowed to follow suit. All fees are halved. Save money for the imperial court. The emperor has begun to live a frugal life, do the people below still dare to live a life of luxury and luxury? The people below followed suit, and it actually felt completely new.
This time Sicong¡¯s day is set on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. according to rules. It is to build a princess mansion. Unfortunately, she was unlucky and fell into the thrift trend. The emperor directly changed a reclaimed marquis mansion into a princess mansion. He ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to repair it and give it a new look. As for the dowry, it should not be too extravagant. Just follow the specifications.
So many places are all restricted. Sicong's wedding was destined to be shabby. I feel extremely aggrieved. This time he would see his mother and concubine coming to see him, crying with grievance. Can't stop it anymore.
Sicong cried until he was sad and said: "My princess mansion is just an old mansion. She lives in the best courtyard in the world. Mother and concubine, I am really unwilling to accept this."
Concubine Shu was also helpless, even if she was not willing to give in. I didn't dare to say anything. Who doesn¡¯t know that Daqi is the most popular person nowadays. Just gentle. The most noble woman in the world today is not a queen, but Wen Wan. What is good about the emperor? The first thing that comes to mind is gentleness.
Concubine Shu knew that no one who opposed Ping Wenwan would benefit. "Daughter, in the eyes of your father, Wen Wan is his darling. He cannot be touched. When you see her in the future, be polite to her. Don't. If you make your father angry again, your mother-in-law will not be able to protect you. You must get along well with your concubine." Concubine Shu also felt troubled. After the rebellion, the emperor put her into the cold palace. This time it would be better if the Queen were not merciful. Let her come and see Sicong, and even come out of the palace gate. Concubine Shu knew that if she hadn't given birth to a second prince, she wouldn't have been abused. She knew that this was probably disrespectful to Wen Wan. She wanted to be resentful, but she knew it was useless. Wen Wan saved the emperor's life in a critical moment. As long as the emperor is alive, no one can touch her, and no one can get past Wen Wan. She could do nothing but endure.
Although Sicong is resentful, he is not confused. I know I won't be able to do anything to Wen Wan for a while. However, a gentleman's revenge is never too late.
The accounts of the Duke's Mansion have also been settled.
The Duke of Guo looked at his two younger brothers and said, "Look, this is good. You each contribute 2,000 taels, and I contribute 3,645 taels. Just return the 10,000 taels of silver to Wen Wan. You can't really ask Wen Wan to give out the silver and spread the word." How can we behave in the future? How can I expect my granddaughter to pay for the funeral if my son is here? Not to mention that if it gets out, I will be laughed at. I will not be able to see my father in a hundred years. "
"Okay." The fourth master naturally agreed.
The fifth master naturally agreed. Go home and raise money.
The Duke's government is really poor now. Except for the ancestral fields used for sacrifices, most of the other fields have been returned to the emperor.
The Duke's wife was actually a little depressed: "Sir, tell me, it would be great if we could do some business with Wen Wan. I heard that Wen Wan has been working on a new business recently."
The Duke of Guo shook his head: "Even if we want to participate in the shares, we are not qualified. All the shares given by Wen Wan belong to the clan."
The two of them sighed as the Duke's wife thought about her previous gentle support for the clan. Wen Wan now regards herself as a member of the royal family and is willing to share a piece of the soup with them. But he's from the Taira family. Don't even think about it.
EighthIn the alley, there is no suspense about the funeral expenses for Ping Xiangxi¡¯s house. All the peace comes from Shangtang. In this regard, Shangtang had nothing to say and went to collect the money.
The fourth bedroom is rich. No one knows how much wealth he has accumulated during his years as an official. The money was delivered that afternoon. But the fifth house is just a back foot.
The Duke of Guo gathered the money and prepared to have the money sent over.
When the Duke's wife knew his plan, she immediately stopped him, "You are so confused. What good can you get from giving this money away? Let Shang Wei give it away."
"How do you say this?" the Duke asked strangely.
"After this incident, Shang Wei's official career is gone. He has to make other plans. Wen Wan has so many shops under his name, and they are all famous for making a lot of money. I heard that there is a shopkeeper who is in charge , not only will he receive dozens of taels of silver a month, but he will also receive dividends at the end of the year. If Shang Wei can help Wen Wan take care of any business in Mingxia, he will earn nearly a thousand taels of silver in interest. His life is also easy. Our family has little money left, and it is good to have Shang Wei to make money. The most important thing is that Shang Wei does not have to stay in the house all the time. He's going to be sick." The eldest lady felt sorry for her little son. Always make plans for your son. This time is the opportunity.
"But, will Wen Wan agree?" Mr. Guo was hesitant.
The eldest lady didn¡¯t have any confidence in her heart, but it was an opportunity. Otherwise, the second son will be like this. "I don't know if you will agree to it or not. You have made it impossible for him to see Wen Wan, not even meet him, let alone get this opportunity. And when Wen Wan was in the Ping family, Shang Wei was very good to Wen Wan. Yes. I often buy small things and give them to her. Wen Wan is a person who values ??friendship. I should give him a chance after meeting her. "
In late September, the weather was not that hot. Wenwan's body is also much better than before. On this day, the emperor asked Wen Wan to enter the palace, where he discussed government affairs.
Wen Wan feels bored. Went to the Royal Garden. Looking at the colorful garden, I naturally feel very comfortable. I heard a beautiful voice. Wen Wan doesn't like to have much contact with the women in the harem. I saw an entrance and got in. After walking for a while, she felt like she had never been to this place before. With Xia Yao and Xia Ying by his side, he didn't worry about anything happening (by the way, there was also Lord Shadow secretly).
After walking for a while, I turned around a stone arch and entered the inner room. I saw trees all over the rockery. Lush. There is a pond next to it. The pond is full of lotus flowers, white and pink. There is also the kind of deep pink that is lighter than bright red, and the kind of water lily with a bright yellow core.
Now is the season when lotus flowers are blooming. A gust of wind blew, and the pink lotus flowers swayed in various shapes under the wind. The fragrance can spread out.
"Hey, this place is so beautiful. I haven't been here yet. Xia Ying, the beggar's chicken is best when wrapped in lotus leaves. Later we will eat the beggar's chicken wrapped in lotus leaves." Gentle hands reached out to pick the chicken. I put a lotus flower on my nose, and a faint fragrance spread to my nose. Piece by piece, tear it off and chew it in your mouth.
??
Wen Wan threw a petal over: "Xia Yao, you are so brave that even I dare to make fun of you. Well, actually it is still a little less. It would be better if you have wine."
Xia Yao took out a small gourd from her sleeve, which contained about as much wine as a wine glass: "I asked the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor said that a small cup won't cause much trouble."
Wen Wan grabbed the small gourd in her hand and laughed, "Xia Yao, you are the best and understand me best. I remember that we didn't seem to have brewed lotus wine. I asked Jiuniang to study it when we went back. We also had to make lotus wine." Brew it. The more varieties, the better." After saying that, he took a few sips.
After Wen Wan drank wine, her interest suddenly became stronger and she was in a particularly good mood. She couldn't help but sing a modern song. En En was humming there, and Xia Yao couldn't understand what she was humming. But now the princess is living a very leisurely life.
When the emperor heard that Wen Wan came to the Royal Garden, he also came to the Royal Garden, thinking that he came to take some fresh air. As Wen Wan said, go to places with flowers, plants and trees and breathe clean air, which is good for your health.
In the imperial garden, it was inevitable to run into the concubine wandering around. When he saw the emperor, his eyes were extremely green. However, the emperor had something on his mind at the moment and was not interested in the ogling concubine. He just wanted to see where Wen Wan had gone. Everyone in the group said they had not seen Wen Wan. The emperor was puzzled, where did this girl go?
I asked several people, but no one was there. The emperor felt strange and asked someone to find it. Not worried about what happened to Wen Wan. There are two masters and secret guards beside Wen Wan. What could happen in the palace again?
But the emperor??action. After all, it alarmed people. Not to mention several concubines who naturally followed. Even the third prince and fifth prince who came to find the emperor heard the news and came to help find someone. More and more people gathered in the Royal Garden.
But soon, a palace maid said that she saw the princess going to the pool. Because the location is relatively hidden, it is difficult to find. The palace maid just went to the toilet and then went to have lunch, but she didn't know that such a big thing had happened.
The emperor asked the concubine who followed him to go down. The two princes did not go down, saying they could help if anything happened. Cao Song and Xu Zhongran, who were following, also followed. As I walked, I heard singing. That voice was obviously gentle.
The emperor smiled, this girl is so leisurely. Everyone walked in following the direction from which the singing came. But his eyes were stunned.
Everyone saw a woman sitting in a pond surrounded by rocks, green trees, and beside lotus flowers. I saw this woman's skin as white as snow, her eyes as bright as the stars in the sky staring at the lotus in her hand, smiling happily. Zheng Shuya was sitting comfortably by the lake, her white clothes reflected in the water, and the fallen flowers fell off her smooth hands one by one and fell into the water. Splashing layers of ripples. Looking from a distance. Elegant and holy, the manners are incomparable.
Xia Ying originally wanted to remind Wen Wan, but Xia Yao lowered her head and smiled. It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen the princess be so casual. But when she turned around and saw the people behind her, Xia Yao made a move.
The emperor waved his hand and let a few people go down. However, the reaction of several people was slow for a moment, and then Wen Wan's next words stopped them from moving.
Wen Wan suddenly remembered what happened last time, and suddenly said, "Xia Yao, Xia Ying, the emperor's grandpa said that my dance is very beautiful! You said that if I dance now, can the emperor's grandpa see it?"
Xia Yao chuckled, your dance was just a mess, the late emperor said it looked good to give you face. If that kind of dance can be called beautiful, it will make all the dancers in the world feel embarrassed.
Because Wen Wan has to observe filial piety for her old father-in-law, she is wearing a plain top today, paired with a pleated skirt of the same series, and a white long coat. The clothes and skirt are both embroidered with lotus flowers. A snow-white brocade and beaded ribbon was tied around her waist. She wore a simple flying moon bun, with a strand of green silk hanging down by both ears, and a piece of green silk hanging behind her. Only the green silk on the top of her head was pulled up diagonally, like a crescent moon. It was very special. . There was a brightly blooming lotus pinned to her bun.
Wen Wan saw Xia Yao, but Xia Yao didn't reply and actually danced on the edge of the pool. Of course, Wen Wan just wanted to have fun, and the dance steps were very complicated. She learned the dance steps again, and then randomly learned the Hu Xuan dance for a few days. Therefore, jumping can be regarded as catching people's eyes.
Everyone looked at Wen Wan in a light dance, as if they were dancing with the lotus flowers on her bun and the pleated skirt around her waist. The fine dance steps move slowly like light clouds and spin like a whirlwind.
As the dance progressed, everyone saw that Wen Wan's eyebrows were suddenly frowning, showing infinite sadness, and her smile was bright, showing boundless joy; and sometimes her eyelashes were lowered sideways, showing a low-key shyness. The dance disperses and recovers with the wind, and the singing sound is still as quiet as a chime.
Xia Yao looked at Wen Wan dumbfounded. This is much better looking than before.
Wenwan finally ended with a very graceful gesture. Seeing Xia Yao looking dumbfounded. Wen Wan was very proud, it was rare to have Xia Yao look like this. She said triumphantly, "Xia Yao, you're stunned. You're a nymphomaniac. How about it? My dancing is beautiful. I've stunned you. It seems that I'm really good at dancing." .¡±(To be continued)
