Bai Shinian didn't know Wen Wan's plan. It was already a month later when the fold was returned to him. Seeing the emperor's approval for his return to the capital, Bai Shinian breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what happens in the future, he must go to see Wen Wan. Hearing personally that Wen Wan was unwilling, he gave up. It also brings an end to the six years of waiting for myself.
In fact, Wenwan¡¯s conditions seem to be very ordinary. But it is rare to select those who meet the requirements of gentleness in the army. Because in the military, those who are above the fifth rank and below thirty are basically married. Not getting married is due to various reasons, and I can't choose.
Therefore, out of the 200,000 people at the border, only ten people were selected. Bai Shinian was planning to go back with these ten people.
Qi Liniang found out and told Bai Shinian that she would go back with him to worship the ancestors. Bai Shinian now has a clear mind. This can be explained in two sentences at the border. When he was brought back like this, Wen Wan found out. Any hope of a possible three points was dashed. Bai Shinian cited the lack of time and the fact that he had to go back with the ten selected people. These ten people must arrive in the capital at the scheduled time. Therefore, we cannot take Qi Liniang with us as a burden.
Qi Liniang had nothing to do with Bai Shinian. All she could do was beg her parents. Qi Quan could possibly become Bai Shinian's master. After a few vague mentions, Bai Shinian refused to agree either softly or hardly. In ancient times, concubines were not included in the family tree and could not participate in sacrifices. It's useless for Qi Liniang to go back.
Qi Quan didn¡¯t have any feelings about Bai Shinian returning to the capital to offer incense to his elders. This is normal, but Mrs. Qi feels something is wrong. Women are generally more sensitive. I always felt that Bai Shinian would do nothing good if he went back this time. But she couldn't stop it even if she wanted to. It turned out to be her intuition. Very accurate.
According to the scheduled date, ten people set off on the road on time.
The list should be reported to the capital earlier than others.
Wen Wan looked at the list of twenty candidates selected by the emperor, and the list was not what Wen Wan expected. There is no name that is familiar to me.
Wen Wan also restrained her thoughts immediately and discussed it with the emperor. Made some more requests. Be of good character and keep yourself clean. The conditions proposed this time are not excessive. All very normal. Not as scary as last time. The emperor nodded frequently. I am very confident about this and I will definitely be able to choose it.
Eunuch Sun¡¯s eyes almost narrowed into slits.
At this time, something else happened that Wen Wan didn't know about. A bearded man. Had a drink in the restaurant. Drunk and drunk, he yelled at the top of his voice, "Haha, you don't know, I slept with a bitch that day. That bitch knew I was coming to the capital, so she begged me at the top of her lungs, saying she was Xingguo Princess Xingguo¡¯s sister asked me to bring a message to her family. You think it¡¯s funny or not, but I feel so inspired.¡±
It happened that Prince Xuan and Xu Zhongran were drinking and talking here when they heard this sound. His face turned cold immediately. Sent a guard down. "What did you just say?" the guard came out and asked the man with a beard and a sullen face.
"That's what the bitch said. It's none of my business." The man had just finished speaking when someone at the same table covered his mouth and warned him. He was also in a drunken mood just now. I also know that I said the wrong thing.
"But despite this, he was beaten to pieces by the guard. "I'm tired of living. You can also molest Princess Xingguo." To slander the reputation of the princess, beating her to death is not a pity. The guards beat the bewildered man until he cried for his father and mother.
The patrolman came and asked what was going on. Well, as soon as he found out that this man had uttered wild words and insulted the noble princess, he immediately arrested him and put him in jail without saying a word.
Xu Zhongran had known for a long time that Wen Wan's condition was deliberately difficult. Nowadays, he and his wife are very affectionate. Although his wife is a little naive and arrogant, she loves him very much. He was also very happy. But he was still upset. "Princess Wenwan, I want to see what kind of man you will choose?"
It was not only Xu Zhongran who was unwilling, but also the fifth prince. They all have to open their eyes to see who Wen Wan has chosen.
The man who made noise in the restaurant was later released. It was his brother who spent a lot of money and relied on connections to get him out. "Brother, what kind of place is this capital? Do you think it's still a small place like home? Spewing feces after drinking? Fortunately, you are lucky. The princess is generous. Mercy, I can¡¯t bear to kill anyone (even Wen Wan doesn¡¯t know this), and I don¡¯t really care about you. If it were someone else, I would just collect the body for you, and you might be implicated.¡±
His brother complained a lot. He frightened the man so much that he lost half his life. He planned to return to his hometown as soon as he recovered. This is no place for people.
While they were recovering from illness, someone came to their door. Asking what is going on, I asked the situation clearly.??White. The man was so frightened that he sweated. That night I took a carriage and drove to my hometown. After that, I never dared to go to a brothel again because of the sequelae. On the contrary, his parents said that he had grown up a lot after going to the capital. The wife is also satisfied.
Shang Tang heard that it was indeed true and not nonsense. I was so angry that I almost fainted. If this is really the case, once this matter is spread, they will all stop being human beings.
The first day of August. On this day every year, Wen Wan goes to Yuquan Temple to offer incense. Over the years, we have been unstoppable, rain or shine, and this year is no exception. But now the gentle travel style is quite pompous. The scale of travel was second only to the emperor.
After offering incense, walk in the back mountain. Look at the back mountain forest that has remained unchanged for more than ten years and take a stroll in it. When she heard the tinkling sound of the spring water again and thought about the little fox's cries that day, Wen Wan showed a rare relaxed smile. Thirteen years have passed like a day, time flies so fast.
Xia Ying looked at Wen Wan: "Princess, General Bai is also a descendant of the Xungui family. If you had not fled back then, General Bai would have been worthy of you. Maybe the child must be a few years old now. There is no need for the emperor to worry so much." . Well, I don¡¯t know why General Bai fell in love with someone else. It would be great if General Bai always liked the princess.¡±
Wen Wan smiled and said, "I was only six years old at that time. How could I think about those things? It was too late to escape, and I rushed to ask him to marry me! Looking at the young man's appearance at that time, how could I think of marrying him? I don't know I thought it was a pervert who was reincarnated. He even kissed a six-year-old girl so passionately. "
Xia Ying pursed her lips and smiled, "Princess, you have wronged me. People mistakenly thought you were a vixen that day! Although everyone is afraid of vixens, men still like vixens very much. If you meet a vixen, you will not take advantage. It¡¯s not a loss either.¡±
Wenwan unconsciously flashed the scene of Bai Shinian chasing her behind her, thinking to herself with a smile. Now this guy is almost 30 years old. Unexpectedly, a prank back then and a strange combination of circumstances later turned out to be a strange fate. Wen Wan smiled and said, "He was fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, and he could still think that I was a vixen. It was indeed interesting."
Xia Ying had a flash of strangeness, but she couldn't tell what it was. Looking at Wen Wan again, she saw Wen Wan looking intently at the flowers and plants next to her. That stopped the topic. Xia Ying said no more. There is no Bai Shinian on the list this time, and there is nothing to talk about.
Xia Yao came back with something. The scene was quiet. The three of them felt a rare sense of relaxation while walking.
Wen Wan was thinking as she walked, hoping that everything would go well this time. It is also a happy thing to get married, give birth to a baby, play with the child every day, and cultivate him into a talented person. Wen Wan deliberately ignored those hidden worries this time.
When Wen Wan returned to the carriage, she specifically asked Xia Yao if Bai Shinian would come back. Xia Yao said that she wouldn't come back if she didn't get the news.
Wen Wan asked Xia Ying to check who the generals were who came back this time (in addition to those selected by the emperor, there were also some who went home to visit relatives, etc.).
Xia Ying checked it carefully, but didn't get the list. Because Bai Shinian is not on the list. Xia Ying didn't find out, let alone Dongqing, and there was no news about Bai Shinian returning to the capital. News from three sides is blocked.
When Wen Wan heard the news, she looked at Xia Yao, then looked at Xia Ying and smiled. Both of them felt uneasy, but what surprised them was that Wen Wan did not continue to ask. Instead, he continued working. It's as if he doesn't even know about it.
In order to rush back to the capital within the specified time. The group of people flew back to the capital as fast as the stars and the moon. Bai Shinian looked at these ten people and felt very aggrieved.
It just so happens that there is an enemy that cannot be dealt with, a clingy one. Bai Shinian is really one of the top two! If I had known earlier, I would not have come back with this group of people. If everyone along the way hadn't just been on their way, there would have been a real famine.
Wen Wan seemed not to know that the big commotion outside was due to her own reasons. Only when looking at the stars in the sky does gentleness reveal its true nature.
Xia Yao and Xia Ying felt a little sad when they looked at Wen Wan's lonely back. I don¡¯t know since when, the princess¡¯s words became less and less. Sometimes, if nothing happens, the princess will not speak for a whole day. It¡¯s very reminiscent of the dumb days of the past.
The two of them looked at the gentleness of the more powerful they became, the more lonely they became. It was okay during the busy day, but at night, the princess's appearance made people feel distressed. The two looked at each other. Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Wen Wan ordered: "Let the kitchen prepare some food. I want to drink two glasses of wine." After Wen Wan got better, she would drink one or two glasses of wine every day, then wash up and go to bed. Then I occasionally muttered that drinking alone was really lonely. Listen to twoThe servant girl felt even more unbearable and felt sour.
By September, Bai Shinian and his party finally returned to the capital. Bai Shinian looked at the familiar city gate. After six years, he finally came back. I don¡¯t know if I will come back next time. What would it be like.
Bai Shihua had already received the news and had ordered people to guard the city gate in the past few days. After seeing Bai Shinian, he came up happily and said: "Sixth Master, Sixth Master, you are finally back." (To be continued)
