Sihan cried very sadly, she felt very innocent. She just wanted to talk about poetry with Yin Youxi. Why this happened, why things happened, beyond her imagination. brought about such results. Even her mother-in-law didn't believe her.
"It's useless. Without your father's instructions, how could the queen issue such an edict? Sihan, who asked you to do such a thing. One wrong step, one wrong step. This is a sin you have made yourself, and you have to do it yourself. Bear the consequences." Concubine Xian was bitter. During this time, the emperor reprimanded and the queen blamed for this matter. The other concubines laughed secretly, saying that they themselves had suffered a lot of injustice. But who made him his daughter, his only daughter!
"Brother, what's going on? I didn't, I really didn't say anything privately. Who is so hateful?" Seeing Qi Xuan come in, Sihan seemed to be grasping a life-saving straw.
"I sent someone to investigate, but I couldn't find out who was responsible. Don't call it aggrieved. Today is your own fault. Father is already selecting candidates, so you have to be mentally prepared." Qi Xuan looked at his beloved sister, who could have married better and accumulated capital for herself. It's better now. Now I have to make people look down upon and laugh at. Just thinking about it made him vomit blood.
Concubine Xian thought further than Sihan: "Prepare, what preparation?"
Qi Xuan glanced at his sister who was still crying. Looking back at his mother and concubine, he was extremely annoyed. She was told not to let her sister learn poetry and lyrics every day. How far have you learned? "I guess, my father is probably going to let Sihan get married." Married far away, out of sight, out of mind.
Concubine Xian burst into tears.
Sure enough, not long after, the emperor arranged a marriage to the second son of Xuan Bo in Xuanzhou. The second son does not need to take the lead. Just make do with it. I heard that this man was also a talented and romantic man. The emperor found it for Sihan based on her interest. When Sihan got the news, she burst into tears. She didn't want to leave the capital, but the emperor's edict had been issued, and Si Tianjian had chosen the day.
Wenwan heard this. Only then did she feel that her efforts on that call were in vain. How could the Emperor's uncle, a wise and mighty man like him, be led by someone's nose? "This matter has not spread."
Xia Yao smiled and shook her head. In fact, Wen Wan really overthinks it. She thought everyone was like her. With such a sophisticated intelligence network (the emperor did not taboo against her), no matter whether it was in the palace or at court, she would know about anything in no time. Many people haven't heard the news at all. The Yin family just has ten heads. I didn't dare to spread the word outside. Even those who have heard a little bit of news. They also kept their mouths shut tightly. Being caught by the emperor would be a disaster.
Of course, when she said that phone call, there was no confidentiality involved at all, she just told Wen Wan the news she got. If you don't know, Wen Wan goes to tell the emperor. It made her break out in a cold sweat.
Wen Wan didn¡¯t know that Xia Yao rarely gossiped and thought that the emperor really wanted to issue an imperial edict to grant marriage. She really couldn't stand such a thing. Too much talk. The emperor thought that the matter had spread, but no one dared to discuss it openly. So Huali misunderstood.
Wenwan saw nothing happened. I quickly dropped the matter. When I woke up in the morning, I saw frost everywhere. A piece of white. Yesterday she told the emperor that she was going to Zhuangzi to recuperate. Not allowed to go. Wenwan is very depressed. It's really cold here. Whatever you do must be done so that you can celebrate the New Year.
But, a few days later. There is one good thing.
After finishing breakfast, I heard a report from outside: "Princess, shopkeeper Jiang Linjiang is back."
Jiang Lin made a lot of money for her last year. Jiang Lin made her more money this year. He earned tens of millions of assets in two years. Of course, this is due to the fact that she is in a completely monopolistic industry. Because only his ships were allowed to trade across the oceans. In addition, all the items shipped out are good items that ordinary people cannot find (not only cannot they be found, but it is also illegal to find them). In a monopoly industry, everything earned is huge profits. Of course, good luck is also the main reason. The three gentle ships have gone out to sea so many times, but they have never encountered a tsunami or a typhoon. What a blessing.
Whether it is ancient people or modern people, there is a superstition. Some people are born with wealth. Jiang Lin also believed that because the princess brought wealth, God would be kind to her.
Wenwan asked Xia Ying to take the box sent by Jiang Lin: "Princess, my servant brought some good things to the princess."
There are more than 20 large boxes, including huge gems and diamonds, as well as exquisite wool blankets and many other dazzling goodies.
Wenwan looked at the exquisite wool blanket and suddenly laughed. Xia Yao understood and took out the blanket to show Wen Wan. Wen Wan stroked the soft and comfortable blanket and asked something that was incomprehensible: "Why can Persians use wool to make blankets, but we can't use wool to make clothes. It's been a long time since I wore a woolen sweater."
Xia Yao and Xia Ying looked at each other. They knew that the princess had another idea. And it needs to be made of wool.??. If Wen Wan has this idea, she will take action.
With a gentle wave of his hand, all the things were carried down. Asked Jiang Lin about being at sea. Jiang Lin said everything in detail. He also talked about the five islands. The geographical distribution of the five islands, the topography of the islands and the living creatures on the islands are written in detail and clearly.
Wenwan heard that all five islands have water, but two of them are relatively small. There are not many woods on the island either.
Wen Wan is holding an exquisite fan in her hand, and she is playing with the fan. Don¡¯t think that Wen Wan is not listening attentively. If there was anything wrong, she would ask immediately. After listening, he said: "You go back and spend time with your family first. I will look for you if anything happens."
After Wen Wan waited for Jiang Lin to leave, Wen Wan wrote a piece of paper. Let Xia Yao buy these things. He turned around and looked at a few large boxes. Everything here is of good quality, and I personally selected a few of the best things to give to the emperor. Secondly, she kept most of the things she liked. After that, they will be divided into categories and sent to various prefectures by Xia Yu and others.
The emperor paid no attention to the gift. Looking at Wen Wan's pale and bloodless face (Wen Wan put on makeup) and her thin body, she felt very distressed. "Mr. Wang, you're not saying that Wen Wan is just too frightened. It only takes a few days to recover. This will all be done." What is it like? This is the result of your recovery."
Xia Yao said from one side, "Your Majesty, Princess, Princess, in order to get rid of the problem of fainting at the sight of blood. In the past half month, she has been training herself not to be afraid of blood, so her spirit is so poor. Please give the Princess some advice." "The cooperation between the master and the servant has become more and more intimate.
"You, what are you doing? You don't want your life." The emperor was shocked and angry. Wen Wan shook her head and said it was okay. He said that he would no longer faint at the sight of blood and could at least hold on for a while.
The emperor was angry, "You kid, what do you want your uncle to say? Xia Yao, next time Wen Wan encounters such a dangerous thing, please stop me."
Wen Wan smiled and said, "I don't know what to say, so I won't say anything. I won't say anything disappointing. The wine I brought last time is here. Do you want to have a drink today?"
Xia Yao came to the side and said immediately, "Princess, the imperial doctor said. I have given you new medicine this time. You can't drink alcohol." Wen Wan pursed her lips and said nothing.
The emperor couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this. Although he looks bad, he is in much better spirits. If you continue to take care of yourself like this, I believe you will recover quickly.
"Your Majesty, the fifth prince wants to see you." Upon hearing this, Wen Wan said that she wanted to return to Yongning Palace. Wait until the emperor is finished. Just let someone pass it over.
Seeing Wen Wan¡¯s expression of not wanting to have any contact with Qi Xuanduo, the emperor smiled and nodded. Wenwan is the most thoughtful. Since you don¡¯t want to, don¡¯t force it. And a gentle temperament. It is indeed not suitable for too complex land. Emperor Dang also considered this point and did not issue an imperial edict to grant marriage. also. But I have never heard of any princess who likes wine and money. As a princess, even if you are married, you can still be the master of your own family and control the princess. But it's different when you become a princess. The emperor's heart softened as he thought about what Wen Wan had done for him. The final decision was to let her be happy!
Wen Wan saw His Highness the Fifth Prince at the gate of Yanghe Hall, said hello and turned around to leave. Qi Xuan's face was very ugly. He couldn't even talk to himself? They all regarded him as a scourge.
The emperor talked with Qi Xuan for a long time. When Qi Xuan was about to leave, "Your mother told me a few days ago that she had selected some ladies for you. I saw them and they were all good. After the New Year, you will be nineteen, yes." It¡¯s time to choose a princess for you.¡±
"Father, my son likes it" Qi Xuan was stunned for a long time before he muttered.
"I have already asked Wan'er, and she has made it clear what she means. I also feel that you two are not suitable. Don't worry, I will let the Queen select a satisfactory lady for you." Looking at his anxious son, the emperor Said with a smile.
"Father" Qi Xuan insisted.
The emperor looked at him holding out his chest and refusing to give in and couldn't help but smile, "Well, I'll give you another chance. You go to Yongning Palace now. If Wan'er agrees, I will grant you a marriage. If Wan'er doesn't agree, You choose the one you like among several candidates."
"Thank you, father." Qi Xuan clenched his hands into fists when he came out.
Xia Xian walked in and reported, "Princess, the fifth prince wants to see you. The fifth prince said that he has something to say to the princess. Please see the princess."
Wen Wan was very interested, smiled and asked someone to bring tea. Qi Xuan frowned. But she looked gentle. Qi Xuan believed that there was nothing worthy of Wen Wan. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out why Wen Wan looked down on him.
Wen Wan smiled and said, "You are very good, just like Cao Song before. They are all very good. Unfortunately, they are not my plate."
Qi Xuan looksHe said gently, "Why did you refuse so simply and ruthlessly? You don't even understand me, so you just said no. Isn't this too arbitrary?"
She watched the fifth prince acting in front of her with a gentle smile. Unfortunately, her acting skills were more skillful than his. "I have always believed it. If it is my dish, a pair of eyes will make it right. No need to spend any more money." Take the time to understand.¡±
Qi Xuan said in a light tone, "Then what kind of person can catch your eye? My cousin has such high standards, I guess if I can catch your eye, I won't be able to find anyone in the world."
Wen Wan laughed at herself, "Don't feel wronged. If the emperor doesn't love me, I think you won't even look at the cats and dogs on the roadside, but you won't look at me. I still don't know what I am like." . If you can get into the eyes of a nobleman like you, no one will believe it."
Qi Xuan laughed instead, "My cousin is so unsure of herself."
"I am self-aware that I have no appearance and a bad temperament. Therefore, I have never been liked by others since I was a child. I don't have two friends around me. For a person like me, I really can't see anything in myself. What makes you like it? Apart from being able to do two businesses, I can't do anything about it," Wen Wan said with a smile.
Qi Xuan was secretly frightened, but with a smile on his face, he said, "My cousin is really humble."
Wen Wan said nonchalantly, "It's not humility, it's self-awareness. I'm a very simple person. I don't like to think too much except making money and drinking. Because of this, I will be plotted against by others. If I really marry into the royal family, Even if I have the emperor's uncle's love, I will be plotted to the point of death. To put it more unlucky, if the emperor's uncle walks in front of me, without the emperor's uncle's protection, I will also be plotted to death. . I cherish my life, so it¡¯s better to stay away.¡±
Qi Xuan asked with some confusion, "You mean, you don't want to marry me. Is it because I am a prince?"
Wen Wan shook her head: "Of course, when I marry you, I am just a princess with the title of princess. Everything will be done according to the standards of a royal wife. But if I don't marry into the royal family, I will be a noble princess and do whatever I want. You should understand the difference."
Qi Xuan didn¡¯t expect Wen Wan¡¯s answer to be like this. However, he still tried to fight for it. "Cousin, I know your scruples. You are worried that I will use you to win the favor of my father and increase my bargaining chips. Don't worry, I, Yan Qixuan, am not such a coward. I can't stand it. It's me. The reason why I want to marry you is because I like you. Please give me a chance to prove this. As long as we work together, those so-called rules are not a problem. "
Wen Wan blinked: "Isn't it a problem? What do you mean by saying it's not a problem?"
Yan Qixuan finished his sentence.
Seeing that Yan Qixuan didn't say anything, Wen Wan continued: "Since you made it so clear. Well, let me ask you? What are the benefits of marrying you? If you want status, my status is higher than yours now. If you want money, I have it in my hand." I won't be able to use up my money in a lifetime. There are no benefits to marrying you, but a lot of disadvantages. First of all, it will give you more opportunities to rise to power. Next, you will have to deal with elders such as the queen and your mother. Your brothers and sisters. You think I have a penchant for masochism, so I want to marry you to masochism.¡±
Yan Qixuan's expression changed again and again: "I didn't" She was talking about the future.
Seeing Yan Qixuan's retort, Wen Wan showed naked ridicule: "No? If I were still the mute girl with no one to take care of me, would you still marry me? You know what you want, and so do I. It's clear. It will only make people look bad. I am willing to leave you a chance and save your dignity, for the sake of my uncle, please don't marry someone who is knowledgeable and virtuous. Good woman. Don't waste your time on me.
Yan Qixuan walked out of Yongning Palace with a livid face.
Xia Yao said nothing. Xia Xiang, who came with her, said: "Princess, you don't need to be so straightforward. Anyway, you know, just don't marry.
Wen Wan's face showed sarcasm: "If you don't put it so plainly, he really thinks that he is the unparalleled fifth prince. He is not afraid of itching if there are too many lice. I have already offended the queen and the prince, and I am afraid of offending one more."
Xia Xiang wanted to say more, but Xia Yao shook her head. (To be continued)
