Bai Shinian returned to the capital and immediately sent someone to inquire. First, a group of people were sent to find out where Princess Xingguo had gone that year. In addition, another group of people were sent to inquire about Mr. Fuxi's deeds.
Bai Shinian himself went to Huangjue Temple in person. The abbot of Huangjue Temple personally proved that this amulet was the one carved for Mr. Fuxi. Bai Shinian looked at the amulet in his hand, and his hands began to shake.
Bai Shinian kept calm. Keep calm. But he can't calm down now. Wenwan is Mr. Fuxi. He finally found evidence that Wen Wan could not deny.
However, his mood was not joyful, only heavy. Wenwan is Mr. Fuxi. Who is Mr. Fuxi? At the tender age of eleven, he became famous all over the world, and even he admired her. Could he be worthy of such a woman? For the first time, Bai Shinian felt a deep sense of inferiority in his heart.
As soon as Bai Shinian returned to the General's Mansion, he saw Bao Baogang shouting with a loud voice, "General, you are back. If you don't come back, I will look for you."
Bai Shinian looked very calm: "What do you want from me?"
Bao Bao just yelled at the top of his voice, "General, just go and cheer for your brother. Okay? You are a brother in the field of life and death after all. Just this time, brother, I beg you this time. I really don't know anything about those literary works." Those two, Chen Abu, are not very good. But I heard that Wen Yue is very good. I heard that the princess is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is also gentle and kind. You can't let me take care of you. Such a loser." In other words, Bao Baogang is really not confident. He was first questioned by everyone. Then he was hit by Wen Yue, a man who was second only to Bai Shinian. With such a person present, he has no chance of winning. Not enough confidence.
Bai Shinian's heart sank, and he said with a cold face: "I will go with you tomorrow. Meet meet Princess Wenwan."
Bao Baogang didn¡¯t expect that he would speak. The general agreed. I was ecstatic at the moment. Ye Xun was a little surprised and turned to smile.
After Bai Shinian finished speaking, he entered the room. It came out again after a while. A sword in his hand is like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Bai Shinian kept practicing and kept practicing. Without stopping. The leaves are falling one after another. Under the night, there is an unspeakable desert.
Ye Xun and Bao Baogang saw Bai Shinian practicing swordplay like a madman. Bao Baogang said in confusion: "What's wrong with the general? This is the second time the general has lost his temper? What made him feel so uneasy?"
Ye Xun groaned and asked: "That first time. Under what circumstances?" Ye Xun heard that the first time was when thousands of soldiers were buried in the sea and they came back from the pile of dead. Ye Xun was moved immediately.
Bao Baogang was very worried. Ye Xun waved his hand to let him go down: "You will only get in the way here. I will have a good talk with the general."
Bai Shinian used up all his strength and did not stop until he could no longer lift the sword. Ye Xun was throwing a yellow peanut into his mouth at this time.
When Bai Shinian comes down. Food and wine have been placed on the table. Bai Shinian walked over, took the white towel beside him, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Ye Xun smiled and said, "You'd better change these clothes. In case you get typhoid fever, you won't be able to enter the palace with Bao Baogang tomorrow. Then you will regret it."
Bai Shinian glanced at Ye Xun, this old fox. What does this mean? Went back to the house and took a shower. Go back to the yard. Ye Xun first filled Bai Shinian's glass with wine, and then filled his own glass with wine. He said with a smile: "I heard that the best wine in the capital and the strongest wine all come from the noble princess's mansion."
Bai Shinian picked up the wine glass, poured it into his mouth in one gulp, and drank it cleanly: "What do you want to say? Say it directly, no need to beat around the bush."
Ye Xun smiled like a fox: "Who would have known that the woman who worries our General Bai would actually be the noble princess. No one would believe her if she told her."
Bai Shinian's expression turned stern, and then he said coldly: "I'm just helping Bao Baogang cheer up."
Ye Xun sneered: "When did you become such a kind-hearted person that you would agree to Bao Baogang's unreasonable request? Do you dare to cheat in the Jinluan Palace? And you are so rude today and have such big mood swings. The only explanation is that tomorrow's palace exam will be held There is someone you are looking for, and someone who is important to you. Who is it that you are looking for tomorrow? Of course it is the person you have been worrying about for so many years. You can see it, but you still miss those bad old men (the judges). It¡¯s obvious who you want to see.¡±
Bai Shinian said dullly: "But, she isshe is a palace maid (it is easier to believe that she is a palace maid than to be Princess Wenwan and Master Fuxi)." Bai Shinian originally wanted to say that she was Master Fuxi. In the end, I turned around and went to the palace maid.
Ye XunpuChi smiled.
Bai Shinian stared at him: "Why are you laughing?"
Ye Xun looked like you thought I was an idiot: "A palace maid went to the palace to beg the emperor to give her to Nian. She can make you so chaotic. And"
What Bai Shinian hates the most is that Ye Xun likes to show off. At that moment, he lowered his head angrily, picked up the food and put it in his mouth. But when I chewed it, no matter how I chewed it, it had no taste. Wen Wan is Fu Xi, and now he can understand why Wen Wan looks down on him. Because their starting point is high! Just imagine, who could fall in love with such a woman? She doesn't like anyone.
Ye Xun said in a long voice: "Our General Bai doesn't even look at a peerless beauty like Li Yuxue. You haven't even touched Mrs. Qi for three years. If this person hadn't conquered you with his extraordinary charm, There is only one person in the world who can charm you to such an extent that I don¡¯t know what to do with you, and that is Princess Wenwan.¡±
Bai Shinian lowered his head and took another sip of wine. There was no sound for a long time. He really had no confidence. He had no confidence to begin with, and now he was even less confident. Cough, frustrated. Keep drinking.
Ye Xun has been with Bai Shinian for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen Bai Shinian look so heroic and short-tempered. Ye Xun didn't know that Bai Shinian was so shocked by Wen Wan that he lost all his self-confidence. I just thought that Wenwan's ignoring of him made Bai Shinian feel timid: "What is it that makes you so unsure of yourself?"
Bai Shinian was bored for a long time, so long that Ye Xun thought he wouldn't say anything, so he said: "Back then. Back then With her current status and her talent, she would not have agreed. As soon as the new year comes, I have to go back to the border. I don't know if it will be the Year of the Monkey or the Horse. The Emperor will not agree. I" He didn't have the confidence to give up and not return to the border. Returning to the capital was impossible. But if Wen Wan had to wait for him in the capital, Wen Wan would not marry him. He always felt that he lacked confidence.
After Ye Xun finished listening. I really feel pitiful for Bai Shinian: "Well, it's not easy for you after so many years! I will explain it to you. First of all, you said to the outside world that you are married. Although I didn't know what happened before. But since they are married, they are husband and wife. Therefore, if the princess does not marry, and the emperor does not agree, these are not problems. Secondly, you are worried that if the princess marries you, you will be left a widow. Now that the tax revenue of the treasury is basically stable, the border will have peace for at least three to five years. It will not take ten years for Princess Wenwan to make money. The troubles of the Manchus will be eliminated."
Bai Shinian murmured: "That will take ten more years. She doesn't want to either."
Ye Xunle couldn't say anything: "You really think too much. Princess Wenwan is not a woman who hides in her boudoir. Otherwise, she wouldn't have such a big family business. She doesn't look down on ordinary people, otherwise she wouldn't You won't have to wait for so many years. General, you are deeply in love with the princess and have been protecting her for so many years. She will agree to it."
Bai Shinian has no confidence: "I told you six years ago, but she ignored it."
Ye Xun burst out laughing, rubbing his stomach so much that it hurt. After laughing enough, he said: "General, it is in vain that you are so powerful on the battlefield. Why do you become a knot when it comes to children's love affairs? The princess was only thirteen six years ago. She was underage at that time. I would be surprised if she was willing to marry. But it is different now. As for the emperor's taboo, she must marry. However, it depends on you. When you return from the victory, you will immediately hand over the military power, and the emperor will not be jealous of a general who has no military power. But I really think that the emperor favors Princess Wen Wan so much. That kind of love is even greater than that of his own daughter. Princess Wen Wan is an absolutely trustworthy confidant of the Emperor. Maybe, by marrying Princess Wen Wan to you, I can win over your great general!"
Bai Shinian was comforted for a long time, but he still had no confidence at all. Because of Wen Wan's indifference, because Wen Wan is Master Fuxi, and because he still wants to make contributions. Each of these three things made him breathless.
Ye Xun really felt that their general was pitiful. At the border, there is such an arrogant person. Why did he become a coward after encountering Princess Wenwan? Well, he should just be a good person: "General, let me remind you. Tomorrow is your last chance. No matter whether the emperor or the princess, it is certain that they will not agree to the marriage. But as long as you are forced to marry the princess, seize it. This will allow the emperor and the princess to compromise. As for the future, the princess is better at coordinating your relationship with the royal family and the emperor. These are not things you have to worry about. Princess Wenwan can overcome so many difficulties. Coming out of the palace, I have long been familiar with these intrigues. General, with such a strong wife, not only will the inner court not worry about it, but the outer court will also not have to worry about the food and salary of our border. What a good thing. So, do it for yourself.??Happiness, and the happiness of the more than 200,000 soldiers at the border. General, you have to risk your life. "
Bai Shinian took another breath and still didn't speak. But he must go tomorrow. He can't control whether it's gentle or not. But if he watched his wife marry another man and did nothing, he couldn't do it. Otherwise, he is still a man!
Ye Xun sighed slightly, he could tell. The general actually didn't care that the emperor refused to marry him. But he cares that the two of them are thousands of miles apart, and the princess will not be happy if she marries him. Well, their general is quite affectionate. For the sake of his unrepentant infatuation, he still had to give him a hand: "General, do you think there is anyone in the world who would sincerely ask for the princess? Just for the sake of it." Please marry her as a person, not her power and wealth.¡±
Bai Shinian didn't say anything. It's really hard to tell.
Ye Xun pursed his lips and smiled. He had to speak slower so that he could see more of their general's heroic shortness of breath: "General, it can be seen from the fact that the princess does not let you take another wife. In fact, the princess still has feelings for you. Just think, if she doesn't have feelings for you, she won't care whether you marry or not. Also, I can see from the general that the princess is a person who can't touch the sand in her eyes. The princess asked. Yes, only you can do it, because you have been doing it. The princess's heart is not made of stone. I believe that as long as her heart is not made of stone, you tell her that you have been thinking about her for so many years. It will definitely be shaken.¡±
Bai Shinian became mute again. He knew it. Wen Wan knows all his information.
Ye Xun sneered and said: "General, it is said that a hero has a hard time with beauty. You are a perfect example. You regard the princess as an unconquerable fortress. How can you surrender before the battle is fought? Maybe, The princess has been watching you for a long time, so she ignores you!"
Bai Shinian felt confident when it came to fighting. Thinking that he is a Japanese pirate. Finally he stood up and said: "Yes, I will lose my temper before the war starts. If I don't stop the war first, I will automatically surrender. If it doesn't work, I won't do it." With so many concerns about what to do, put aside everything else. Marry someone home first and then talk about it. Even if you don¡¯t want to, you have to get married if you don¡¯t want to. Who made her his wife? If you want to complain, blame her for why she kissed him and took advantage of him (Wen Wan vomited blood).
Ye Xun was silent for a moment. Over the years, Ye Xun has watched Bai Shinian gain a foothold at the border step by step. It is said that he has the ambition to make great achievements, but it is not good to say that he has any ambition or other bad intentions. He didn't notice it. The only thing I saw was that Bai Shinian had been hurt by love for so many years. Although he was always teasing on his face, he was also very admired in his heart.
What happened this time. It's actually very dangerous. Although Bai Shinian was good at fighting, Ye Xun felt that he was just a layman when it came to scheming. Ye Xun thought for a moment, thinking that the emperor just asked him to monitor Bai Shinian and help Bai Shinian make plans. Marriage should be the same. Without a stable back, how could Bai Shinian feel at ease? This can be regarded as one of the tasks assigned by the emperor. Ye Xun comforted himself for a while and then said to Bai Shinian: "General, if I am not wrong, the princess will definitely show up in tomorrow's competition. General, this is your best chance."
Bai Shinian nodded. Of course he knew, and he was originally thinking about how to get in. Who would have thought that Bao Baosteel would bring such a good opportunity!
Ye Xun poured cold water on Bai Shinian: "General, you must remember my words. You cannot let the emperor know that your wife is Princess Wenwan. If you let the emperor know that you have always known that your wife is Princess Wenwan, even if you Marrying a Wen Wan princess will bring endless disasters. Once the emperor finds out, he will not think that you are affectionate, but will only think that you have ulterior motives. Your identity with the princess is extremely sensitive. If you fall into this hidden danger, the consequences will be unimaginable. " , knowing the truth but holding back. Now she has to use rogue methods to marry her home. Emperors are suspicious. One has to be careful.
Bai Shinian also had such worries: "What should we do?"
Ye Xun came up with a trick: "You just say one sentence, you don't know the identity of Princess Wenwan. You only recognize her original identity. There is no need for you to pretend, with your acting skills, you can't escape the eyes of the emperor. You just need to As soon as you see the princess, tell her all about your longing for her and your resentment towards her. As for the follow-up, it's not your concern. If Princess Wenwan refuses to marry you, you have nothing to regret. If Princess Wen Wan is interested in marrying you, she will definitely cover it up for you. So, depending on how Princess Wen Wan behaves, she is much more capable of dealing with the emperor than you are. The tricks you have are enough to fill their teeth. Let the princess deal with them. "
Bai Shinian is a little strange.
Ye Xun hehe said: "Don't be like this, as long as you do these, don't worry about the rest."If his guess was correct, the princess shouldn't be really indifferent and cold-blooded towards Bai Shinian. Otherwise, there would be no people selected from the army. Moreover, Bai Shinian also met all the stipulated conditions. There was no secret means to prevent Bai Shinian from coming back. Of course, these are just his guesses.
After Bai Shinian left, the more Ye Xun thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was reasonable. But why take such a big detour. Well, the princess¡¯s thoughts are not something ordinary people can understand. He'd better wait and see!
Wen Wan is currently chatting with the emperor in the palace, hoping that the emperor will allow her to attend as a palace maid. The emperor hesitated. Wen Wan shook the emperor's arm vigorously and said coquettishly: "Uncle Emperor, you just promised me. Anyway, I was the one to choose. It's just a different identity. Uncle Emperor, switching to the identity of a bystander is not a change. I can clearly see the character of these people.¡±
The emperor was very depressed. In the past two years, I have been choosing a son-in-law for Wen Wan. He has one head and two heads. Although he was instructing the people below to make the selection, he was only interfering. But Wenwan is now nineteen, and if she doesn't get married, she will be twenty. Why are you still acting like a child: "Why don't you choose people carefully? You must dress up as a palace maid for whatever you do. What's it like?"
Wen Wan¡¯s attitude was very firm, ¡°It¡¯s fun. There won¡¯t be much loss anyway. Uncle Emperor, I will definitely not choose Wen Yue. Chen Abu and Bao Baogang have never met me.¡±
The emperor was afraid of Wen Wan's grinding skills and agreed.
That night, Bai Shinian went to bed early because of Ye Xun's enlightenment and in order to be in the best condition to see Wen Wan. But Wenwan was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
Wenwan got dressed and walked through the garden. Xia Ying follows closely. Wenwan looked at the night scene and felt the desire to paint again. Xia Ying didn't care whether she would be scolded by Wen Wan or not. Not allowed. Wenwan didn¡¯t force it either. I had no choice but to drink two glasses of wine before falling asleep.
When Wen Wan fell asleep, she thought that two glasses of wine were equivalent to sleeping pills and had no side effects. very nice. (To be continued)
