Guo Tong is dead, so the Guo family is not implicated anymore. The queen felt sad, but she was also mentally prepared. What made him even more sad was when his son Qi Mu said he deserved to be killed (as a general, this kind of behavior is what you hate the most). She knew that the emperor would not spare her.
The queen received another news that day, saying that the fifth prince and Princess Wenwan met in the imperial garden again, and the two talked for a long time. The queen looked very unhappy. Since the rebellion, the emperor has become much more indifferent to the concubines and princes in the harem. The number of times he favored his concubine was also reduced by half compared to before.
After Guo Tong¡¯s incident, the emperor directly deprived her of her official rights in the harem. It was given to the two noble concubines to take charge of together. Even so, the emperor was not very enthusiastic about the concubines in the harem, even the new beauties. There is no such thing as a month and a half of back-to-back sleepovers.
Because of the gentle suggestion, the emperor, who was not very interested in women, became more indifferent and focused on health care. The emperor hoped to live to eighty. If the beauties in the harem knew the real reason, they would definitely stab the gentle villain with needles every day.
The queen was very worried. Lao Wu had always been petty, but she didn't expect that he was reluctant to get married because he was trying to be gentle. The emperor was not keen on the women in the harem. Although Wen Wan only entered the palace a few times a month, the emperor's love for Wen Wan was obvious to all. The queen had no doubt that even if Wenwan wanted the moon in the sky, the emperor would let someone take it away. Now Lao Wu is trying to be gentle, which is not a good sign.
The queen originally wanted Qi Feng to marry Wen Wan, and it would be good for her legitimate son to marry Wen Wan. But the last thing I didn't expect was that the emperor objected, and not long after that, he chose Fang Yutong, the daughter of Master Fang, the Minister of Punishment, as his legitimate wife. The involvement with Wen Wan has been completely severed.
The queen felt secretly resentful. If he had known earlier, he should have chosen his first wife. If he really succeeds, he has Wen Wan as his trump card. Not to mention that the emperor would value him more, but he also had a lot of money on hand. At that time, it will definitely threaten the prince's status directly. He also wanted to cross over to his other two sons.
"Empress, don't worry too much. I don't think the princess has any other intentions for the fifth prince, and she probably won't like him." Aunt Pei comforted her.
"There is no chance. If he really marries Wen Wan, the situation will be reversed. The emperor will definitely start to pay attention to Lao Wu, so he must get married as soon as possible." The queen remembered the last time she mentioned this matter. . He was rejected by Qi Xuan, saying he didn't want to get married so soon. I didn't expect that I would have such thoughts at that time. It is really annoying and hateful.
When Xia Yao returned to the mansion. He smiled and said, "Princess Princess. From the way His Highness the Fifth Prince looks at you, he must have had the Princess's idea in mind."
Wen Wan was disdainful of this: "It doesn't matter if he has an idea for me. Are there fewer people who have an idea for me over the years? Others worry about him being a prince, but I'm not afraid. If he wants to use means to force me to submit, just try it. . Let¡¯s see who suffers.¡±
Xia Yao then asked cautiously: "Princess, I think the fifth prince is actually pretty good." Xia Yao said this because she did not ask tentatively. It's not that it's anything else, it's just that she's afraid that Wen Wan really has some thoughts. Really, she had to nip it in the bud.
Wen Wan rolled her eyes at Xia Yao: "Are you interested? Why are you testing it? I can't sleep well every day while living in this palace. When I marry a county horse in the future, he will never dare to go west if I say something to the east. Marrying a prince, I'm looking for trouble. Moreover, Yan Qixuan is not the kind of person who is willing to be a prince. Sooner or later, the emperor's uncle will eliminate the remaining two princes. The princes will all stay in the capital. The competition for the throne will be more fierce than that in the future."
Xia Yao remained silent.
Wenwan is unexpected. Yan Qixuan directly expressed his feelings to the emperor. He told the emperor that he wanted to marry Wen Wan.
The emperor was thinking in his heart, but his face was full of interest. "You mean, ever since you saw Wen Wan dancing by the lotus pond that day, you have never forgotten Wen Wan."
Qi Xuan's face turned red: "I don't dare to deceive the emperor. Since the last time I saw my gentle cousin dancing, I can't forget it anymore. Even in my dreams, I see the beautiful image of my cousin. I want to ask my father for permission to let me Marry your cousin. I promise my father that I will treat my cousin well."
The emperor has a smile on his face. It seems that Wenwan has grown up and even likes one of her best sons. In the emperor's heart, he felt as if a daughter had grown up in our family. "After Cao Song's incident, Wen Wan asked me for an imperial edict. Her marriage is her own decision. If she doesn't like you, I won't either. Will give the decree of marriage."
Yan Qixuan knew that the emperor's words meant that he would not grant marriage. What he actually meant was that Wen Wan didn't like him. But now that he has spoken, he will not give up so easily. "I think my cousin must have misunderstood us. We have more contact and a deeper understanding. Erchen believes that as long as my cousin knows more about me?. There will definitely be some changes. "I won't say whether it will work or not. Now if you want to take the initiative to approach Wen Wan, you must first tell the emperor. If the emperor agrees, others will stop talking nonsense.
"As long as you agree gently, I will grant you a marriage, and we will marry you as soon as she pays filial piety." The emperor looked at his handsome son, who was both civil and military, and laughed.
After Qi Xuan went out, the emperor asked someone to bring these words to Wen Wan. After hearing this, Wen Wan's reply was very clear. Don't marry.
Wen Wan is very curious as to why Yan Qixuan is so sure that she is willing to marry him. Because of his status as a prince, because of his good looks and extraordinary demeanor.
Wenwan looked at the ripe pomegranates and asked Xia Yao to pick a few. Wen Wan looked at the bright red pomegranates inside and took one at random. Xia Yao took it and opened it. Immediately reveal the crystal-clear gem-like seeds. Wen Wan peeled a handful and put it in her mouth. It was sour, sweet, juicy and tasted good. Xia Ying took a few others in, peeled them and put them on a plate.
Wenwan ate pomegranates happily. He was still giving instructions to knock down all the pomegranates. There are some delicious foods during this time.
Xia Yu came back and said, "Princess, the fifth prince is outside asking for an audience."
Wen Wan listened and said lazily that she understood. Then he said that he was busy at the moment and had no time to entertain, so he asked him to come back another day. Wen Wan is not afraid of offending the fifth prince Qi Xuan at all. He came here on his own and did not invite him to the house.
Wenwan looked at several baskets of pomegranates. He smiled and asked to carry a basket to the palace and give it to the emperor to taste. Some more were sent to Luo Mansion and several other mansions.
The fifth prince only went to the princess's mansion once, but within the next day, everyone in the capital knew about it. The fifth prince Yan Qixuan fell in love with the gentle princess.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The fifth prince Yan Qixuan, the former Zhennan Crown Prince Xu Zhongran, the current eldest son-in-law Cao Song, and Yin Youxi, the son of Master Yin, the Minister of Household Affairs, are also known as the four major princes in the capital.
Cao Song and Yin Youxi are now married, and Xu Zhongran's family has declined, so they are not considered. There is only one fifth prince left who has not yet married. The fifth prince and the gentle princess are truly a match made in heaven.
Of course, many people praise Wen Wan for her good luck. It is said that it is easy to get a fortune, but it is rare to find a lover. It is a great blessing to have such a handsome and noble prince to love you.
Faced with these rumors Wenwan neither proves nor refutes them.
Wen Wan is enjoying herself in the mansion, but Bai Shinian is being pursued by the beauty. Qi Liniang had a soft spot for him and would not marry him unless she was married. Everyone at the border knew this. Everyone said he was lucky. Only you know whether you are blessed or not.
Bai Shinian¡¯s time for getting married has already passed three years. In ancient times, husbands could keep their wives for up to three years. Of course, his current reason is to maintain filial piety. But the rules at the border are not as strict as those in the capital. In a place like the border, where there is no tomorrow after today, one more year to live is a big fortune teller. After serving one year of filial piety, no one will object to getting a wife. The imperial court also turned a blind eye to this.
Qi Liniang was here at Bai Shinian, and she kept fighting despite repeated defeats. No matter what Bai Shinian said, she would never give up. The interpretation of an affectionate woman is flawless. After Qi Liniang didn't see Bai Shinian again, she clenched her fists and bit her jaw. She didn't believe that she couldn't move Bai Shinian's heart as hard as steel (for a man, the more you stick to him, the less he will care) .
After Qi Liniang left, Bai Shinian walked out and stood on a hill. The wind blew past his hairline and into the distance. Bai Shinian looked towards the capital. In front of him was the unique scenery of the desert, but his thoughts had already drifted to the capital.
That woman, what is she doing now?
Qi Liniang¡¯s actions did not move Bai Shinian, but they moved the people around Bai Shinian. If you get the chance, help with ideological work.
On this day, Bai Shinian's best friends, Zhang Yi and Bao Baogang, began to take turns to persuade them again, "Shi Nian, don't be so stubborn. This is a good opportunity. You must not be stubborn. You can only be like this for the rest of your life. And Miss Qi is the most beautiful woman in the border area, so why are you so stubborn?"
Bai Shinian refused as always. Don't let go at all.
The two of them couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. They looked at the old man beside them and said, "Military advisor, why don't you give me some advice?"
Ye Xun grabbed a handful of beans, threw them in his mouth and chewed them slowly. Looking at the statue-like Bai Shinian with smiling eyes. To say that their generals are really love saints.
When Bai Shinian saw the two of them, he still wanted to say something, and said resolutely, "Don't say it again in the future. As a man, you must abide by what you say. Since I promised Qing'er, I must do it. Don't try to persuade me, I won't I will change my mind. Please let someone tell Miss Qi that I, Bai, am very grateful for her kindness. But Bai, I have no plans to marry."
Bao Baogang was a little annoyed, "Why are you so stubborn? If you weren't so stubborn, you have the care of the marshal. In the future, are you still afraid that Chen Abu will cause trouble overtly or covertly?" Since it was reported that Qi Liniang was in love with their general, Chen Abu He began to target Bai Shinian overtly and covertly. (To be continued)
