Twenty people gathered in the capital and were summoned by the emperor.
After the emperor conducted a detailed investigation on the rank, temperament, appearance, etc. of these people, according to Wen Wan's requirements, the appearance should not be too ugly, the facial features must be correct, the temperament must be generous, there must be no eccentricities, and the family must be clean and pure. Private life is clean.
After the emperor met the real person, he considered for a long time. The emperor eliminated ten, and there were still ten candidates left. The list of ten candidates was given to Wen Wan.
Wen Wan looked at the list and found it quite interesting.
The first one is Wen Yue.
Wen Wan looked at the name and asked Xia Yao: "Why is this person on top? What's the reason?" Without a reason, the emperor would never put Wen Yue on top. She had made it clear last time that she was no longer interested in this person.
Xia Yao had already inquired: "He asked for it personally this time."
He said softly, although he didn¡¯t say anything. But Xia Yao knew that this must be the first one to be crossed out. Read on.
The second one is Chen Abu. Because he didn¡¯t marry Qi Li Niang, Chen Abu didn¡¯t like anyone else. Originally, his actual age was 30-2 this year, but his official age was 29. According to the information, this man also has a charming woman by his side at the border. When he knew that Princess Wenwan was choosing a son-in-law in the army, he immediately sent away the woman who was warming the bed next to him. Now he is also a bachelor.
The third one is Bao Baogang. Bao Baogang is turning 30 this year, just in time for the corner. The reason Bao Baogang didn't get married so late was because he had been engaged before. But later he joined the army and didn't get married in time. After the fight against the Japanese pirates is over, the girl will marry someone else when she returns home, and even her baby will be able to make soy sauce. When the family saw that he was an official, they were ready to marry his sister. Bao Baosteel originally wanted to fulfill his promise. Now that I have married someone else, the job of being a soldier is a narrow escape from death. He doesn't have any resentment. He broadened his horizons outside. Now that his fianc¨¦e is married, he won¡¯t marry the village girl! Over the years, no one has taken a fancy to him. It's been too late until now.
There are seven more people. Two were from the border and five were selected by the local army. Wen Wan read the information and selected for a long time. Finally, Wen Yue and Chen Abu were crossed out. It gave way to eight people. Wen Wan asked them to take the martial arts test first. The top three were selected, and then she personally evaluated them and selected the favorite.
Xia Yao looked at Wen Wan with a strange expression. Others Xia Yao did not express their opinions, but Bao Baogang did so because of Bai Shinian. So Xia Yao knew him well. This person is lustful. Although I haven't married yet. But I often go to brothels. He is a frequent visitor to the building.
Xia Yao raised her own doubts.
Wen Wan said calmly: "There are eight more people. Even if he can enter the top three, I will not pick him. You can't let me delete all these people, can you?"
Xia Yao vomited blood. There should be no difference between Bao Baogang, Chen Abjing and Wen Yue. Well, she couldn't keep up with the princess's thinking.
The emperor was very curious about the two candidates that Wen Wan crossed out: "Why wasn't Chen Abu chosen?"
Wen Wan smiled and said: "I've seen Wen Yue before. He's too arrogant. He doesn't like me, so don't let him waste this time. Chen Abu is the deputy commander. How can I choose him? He has to lead the troops to fight!" I don¡¯t want to take advantage of you, Uncle Emperor, so I¡¯ll cross these two out first.¡±
The emperor added the names of Wen Yue and Chen Abu: "You can't just deny them just for this reason. Let's look at the people first" These two people are the best among them.
But Wen Wan frowned: "It's okay if I'm not familiar with Chen Abu. Wen Yue. Didn't we meet him last time? He's not interested in me. This time he came up to join in the fun."
The emperor smiled and said: "It doesn't hurt to give him a chance." The people selected this time were all recommended by people below. As the commander-in-chief, Wen Yue filled in his name himself. He also wrote a petition to the emperor. The emperor felt that Wen Yue was quite good and was a little reluctant to part with him. As for some problems, they can always be changed gradually.
Wen Wan said unhappily: "This guy has an illegitimate child." But Wen Wan was cursing in her heart, the bastard has slept with so many women, and there may be more than one child. I also want to marry him. Go daydreaming.
The emperor frowned upon hearing this, "Illegitimate child? What's going on?"
Wenwan told the emperor the news she got. When the emperor heard it, he put it in his brother's name and felt it didn't matter.
Wen Wan vomits blood. It doesn't matter, the thinking of men and women is really different. Wen Wan originally strongly requested that this person be removed, but her eyes flashed and she suddenly thought of something: "Since uncle thinks it doesn't matter, then just let him go!"
The emperor was about to seduce someone when he heard Wen Wan's words and was startled. Although he had no direct evidence, she intuitively knew that Wen Wan was not the one she chose to do this. But keep this person, there isSatisfied. Well, he always knows why.
After the candidates are determined, the next round will begin with independent selection. The competition is divided into literary competition and martial arts competition, with martial arts competition first and literary competition second.
After ten people competed fiercely, the results of the martial arts competition came out. The top three were Wen Yue first, Chen Abu second, and Bao Baogang third.
After the three people passed the martial arts test, the imperial doctor diagnosed their pulse. After confirming that everything was fine, three were announced as candidates. However, the decision of who to choose in the end rests with the princess.
The date for announcing the results is the third day after those at the border return to the capital. The emperor's speed is very fast, rather urgent. The emperor wants to determine the candidate as quickly as possible. If he didn't want to be gentle but suddenly couldn't say it, if he thought of not getting married, he would have to vomit blood. Therefore, everything is done as quickly as possible.
Bao Baogang was very happy when he got the news.
When they arrived in the capital, everyone said that the county master was beautiful, had a good temperament, was sincere to others, was filial and considerate. Such a good girl can't be found even with a lantern. Naturally, they were all full of energy and hoped to be selected by the princess (the emperor had people secretly publicize that no one would go against the emperor when they were full).
Bao Baogang was really overjoyed. Before they came back this time, they knew that the emperor selected them this time for the purpose of selecting county horses. It was the emperor who chose the county horse for Princess Xingguo. How could he not be overjoyed to be selected to the last round? Of course, these are all obvious things. In fact, everyone knows that he married Princess Wenwan. It is equivalent to climbing the road to the blue clouds. A lifetime of glory and wealth. Enjoy endlessly.
Bai Shinian would like to beat Bao Baogang violently to vent the anger in his heart. The indescribable feeling in his heart. He returned to his study, feeling a little weak. He punched the wall with his fist and cried out for the first time: "Ping Wenwan, what on earth are you doing? What do you want from me?" He was really frustrated. Even feeling tired. He felt that he was a failure and that his persistence for so many years was just a joke in the end. does it worth? Why persist. He didn't know how to persist. But ask him to give up. He was unwilling to give in.
Ye Xun raised his eyebrows when he heard that Bao Baogang had entered the top three. I know that the first among the top three is Wen Yue, and the second is Chen Abu. His brows furrowed.
Ye Xun saw Bao Baogang's expression of joy. He looked at Bao Baogang from head to toe: "What makes you happy? Do you think you will be chosen by the princess?"
Bao Baogang's eyes turned red: "What do you mean? You mean I can't choose?"
Ye Xun laughed loudly: "Didn't you hear the rumors? The husband-in-law chosen by Princess Wenwan. He can't have concubines in the same room, and they must be clean. You can count how many women you have slept in the building. You can count them yourself. Do you think you have hope?"
Bao Baogang's face turned pale, but he quickly raised his voice: "I have changed my mind. I will never want another woman in the future. If I marry"
Ye Xun covered Bao Baogang's mouth. He was about to scream, which made Bai Shinian angry. This guy must shed a layer of his skin.
Bai Shinian came out with a serious face and looked at Bao Baogang coldly. He ordered the housekeeper to send a greeting card out. But think about it. He took the invitation from the housekeeper and went out by himself.
Wen Wan is looking at the accounts. The business is getting bigger and bigger, and Wen Wan is getting busier and busier.
Xia Yu took a red and gold-gilded post to Wen Wan: "Princess. General Bai sent a greeting card. He said he wanted to visit the princess."
Wen Wan¡¯s hand froze and she refused to accept the invitation: ¡°Tell the person who came. I have accepted the invitation. In a few days, when I am free, I will personally talk to General Bai about border military affairs.¡±
Xia Yu hesitated for a while and said: "Princess, the person who sent the greeting card is General Bai. Princess, would you like to meet General Bai. General Bai said that he has something important to discuss with Princess."
Wen Wan looked at Xia Yu with a cold expression: "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Xia Yao asked Xia Yu to go down first. Xia Yao looked straight at Wen Wan: "Princess Princess, I want to know, what exactly do you want to do?"
Wen Wan did not answer Xia Yao's words, but raised the tea she had placed to drink. Her movements were very graceful. She had now obtained the true inheritance of Song Luoyang. The brewed tea has a fragrant and excellent taste. After taking two sips, he said softly: "You have your own thoughts and I won't say anything. Why don't I know about Bai Shinian's return? All three intelligence networks said they didn't. How can you explain it to me."
Xia Ying was so frightened that her face turned blue. He knelt on the ground and said. Xia Yao also knelt on the ground: "Princess Princess, you can beat me or punish me, you can do it."
Wen Wan didn¡¯t say anything, just sipping the tea slowly. In recent years, she has focused on maintaining her health. I also drink less tea. He took a small sip and then placed it on the small foreign table next to him: "Hit? Punish? Are you considering how easy it is to fool me because of my stubborn temper?"
It was the first time the two saw anger in Wen Wan's eyes, and this time they were really angry: "I don't dare."
Wen Wan said indifferently: "You all go out. Xia Yao stays."
After everyone went out, Wen Wan looked at Xia Yao: "You have nothing to say to me?"
Xia Yao pursed her lips: "Princess Princess, please punish"
Wen Wan was furious after hearing this, and the cup in her hand fell to the ground. Makes a crisp sound. Xia Yao's heart skipped a beat. This is the first time in so many years that Wen Wan has lost such a temper.
Wen Wan burst out in anger: "That time, when you got the news, Bai Shinian was already fine. But you told me that Bai Shinian's life was hanging on the line. It made me worried and scared all night. I even had nightmares in the middle of the night. In the end, you didn't tell me. You worked so hard to bring me and Bai Shinian together. You didn't even know where to put me, the rightful owner. How dare I punish you? Go to Shenji Camp."
Xia Yao pursed her lips and said nothing. It was Xia Yao's fault that she didn't refuse.
Wen Wan stood up, her face flushed with anger: "You have been with me for eight years. In only eight years, you have forgotten all the rules of the Shenji Camp? Tell me? In the Shenji Camp, there is no way to bully the master. What kind of punishment should be received?¡±
Xia Yao's face turned pale at this moment: "Deceiving the master is a capital crime."
Wen Wan said expressionlessly: "For the sake of our friendship over the past few years, I will let you go these two times. Go back and think about it for half a month. Think carefully about the rules in the Shenji Camp. How much do you remember? Emperor. Why did grandpa put you next to me? What is your duty? If it happens again, I will send you back to Shenji Camp. If you can¡¯t figure it out, go back too!
Xia Yao said with a stiff face, "Yes." She turned around and faced the wall in thought.
Wen Wan stood at the door, looking in the direction of the main entrance. Thinking about that person being there. The mood was very complicated, and she could imagine the sadness in Bai Shinian's heart. But she couldn't do anything now, couldn't say anything, let alone see him. The emperor took great pains to choose a husband for her with great fanfare, and everyone in the world knew that she was not married yet. If she said it herself now, she was married to Bai Shinian, and she still wanted to be with Bai Shinian. Let the emperor think of her and let the world think of her. Therefore, this matter must be resolved by Bai Shinian. Only by letting Bai Shinian break through can she implement her plan and get what she wants. Wen Wan murmured: "Don't call me cruel. Ninety-nine of the hundred steps have been taken, and there is only one last step left. Just be patient for two more days, and see you tomorrow!"
Bai Shinian waited in the outer courtyard for half an hour. Xia Tian looked a little embarrassed when he got the news. He said carefully: "General Bai, our princess said that we will see you another day. Then we will also ask the general about border affairs."
Bai Shinian said with a straight face: "Tell her, I have something important to tell her."
Xia Tian may not be respectful to other people, but towards Bai Shinian, he still has a sense of awe from the bottom of his heart. His face showed helplessness: "General, you came at the wrong time today. The princess is losing her temper, and even the most capable maid around her was punished. I have never seen the princess lose such a temper. General, you come another day. Bar!"
Bai Shinian was finally persuaded to go back by Xia Tian.
Bai Shinian looked at the noble princess's mansion and said a few words. It feels extremely dazzling. Looking at the mansion again, it seemed that Wen Wan could be seen through the wall. The woman he has missed for six years is now only separated by these dozen city walls, but he still can't see her. Bai Shinian murmured: "Wen Wan, why are you so cruel? Why don't you even give me a chance to ask you a question. Why?" (To be continued)
