    When Bai Shinian entered the palace, the emperor's face was gloomy, while Wen Wan lowered her head.

    The emperor glanced at Bai Shinian who was kneeling on the ground: "Wen Wan has been waiting for you for a long time."

    Bai Shinian's heart trembled when he heard this calm but powerful voice.  Not everyone can treat the emperor's majesty as nothing like Wen Wan.  Bai Shinian was no exception: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I and my staff were discussing the return trip, so I arrived late."

    Wen Wan frowned.  This guy really can't speak. What if he added the sentence "Princess Princess' forgiveness" at the end, but he just bowed his head temporarily.  The emperor's uncle would definitely be unhappy if he was ignored directly.  Sure enough, the emperor, who was just a little dissatisfied at first, suddenly became darker: "It's not me you should apologize for."

    Bai Shinian's heart trembled: "It's the humble minister's fault for keeping the princess waiting for a long time. Please punish the princess."

    Wen Wan doesn¡¯t want to deal with this situation.  The emperor blamed Bai Shinian for not daring to complain.  But if he really reprimanded Bai Shinian in front of the emperor's uncle, where would he put Bai Shinian's face?  So he smiled and said: "Uncle Emperor, this is also for official business. I am not that stingy. Uncle Emperor, if you still have something to discuss with Jun Ma, I will go back to Yongning Palace first." It seemed that the two of them still had something to say.

    The emperor nodded.

    Wen Wanwan resigned and gave Bai Shinian a wish-for-you-for-you look as he left.  Then he went out coolly.

    Wenwan didn¡¯t know it after she went out, and the emperor didn¡¯t reprimand Bai Shinian any more for this, he just expressed his attitude.  As soon as Wen Wan left, the emperor discussed military affairs with Bai Shinian.

    On the way to Yongning Palace, Wen Wan thought for a moment and said to Xia Ying who was following her: "Xia Ying, go to Zhongxiu Palace and ask Concubine Qi to come to Yongning Palace. Just say that I have something to trouble her with.  "Accordingly, Wen Wan can go directly to Zhongxiu Palace.  However, Wen Wan now also begins to understand the importance of staging.  Resolutely never do anything disrespectful again.

    Xia Ying took the order and left.  Xia Yao knows something about this.  It is estimated that the princess is either planning to get some information about Qi Liniang from Concubine Qi, or she is preparing to put pressure on the Qi family through Concubine Qi.  This is a good idea. Saying anything to Qi Li, Qi Baoguo or the like will cause you to lose your identity.  If you talk to Concubine Qi, the effect will be better.

    Wen Wan entered Yongning Palace, and the servants brought Wen Wan¡¯s favorite tea.  Wen Wan glanced at the tea but didn't drink it.  You cannot drink tea when you are pregnant.  Not good for children.  But now that there is no diagnosis, Wen Wan is too embarrassed to give instructions, so she only asks for a glass of boiled water.

    Concubine Qi was a little uneasy after hearing the news.  Don't blame Concubine Qi for being timid, Concubine Qi was calm and composed even when facing the Queen.  It is true that Wen Wan's position in the harem is very special.  Although he does not interfere in the affairs of the harem.  But the impact is serious.  For example, Xu Zhaohua (Xu Jingqiu gave birth to a son and was promoted to a higher level) was said to have been the daughter of the princess.  Because of the princess, the emperor favored her very much.  But later because of the accident, the princess became angry with Xu Zhaohua.  Although Xu Zhaohua gave birth to the thirteenth prince, the emperor never recruited Xu Zhaohua to serve as his bedmate.

    The concubines in the harem all have a consensus that the emperor will not treat anyone who is a good friend of the princess (it¡¯s just that Wenwan keeps away from the women in the harem. If you don¡¯t have a good relationship with the concubine, you can¡¯t even if you want to), and the princess hates it.  Man, the emperor will definitely not like it.  Therefore, Princess Wenwan is the first person in the harem who cannot be offended.  Otherwise, it means falling out of favor (gentle complaint: Who spread the rumor, who does the emperor's uncle want to favor, and what does it have to do with me).  Concubine Qi doesn't think she is an exception because she is a concubine.  And she probably guessed why Wen Wan was looking for me.  If Concubine Qi knew what happened that afternoon, she would not be uneasy.

    When Concubine Qi arrived, Wen Wan was talking to Xia Yao.  I saw Concubine Qi coming over.  Wen Wan then stood up.

    Concubine Qi felt a little relieved when she saw her gentle smile, showing no sign of anything inappropriate.  But before I could calm down, I saw Wen Wan smiling and saying: "When I entered the palace just now, a man and a woman stopped my carriage. After asking, I found out that the woman was the concubine of the county horse, and the man, the man  It's" At this point, he looked at Xia Yao.

    Xia Yao added from the side: "Qi Baoguo, a member of the Qi family. Now he serves in the Kyoto Camp Guard." That place.  They are all places where the children of distinguished families go.

    Concubine Qi was shocked.

    Wen Wan ignored Concubine Qi's gaffe and continued with a smile: "Ms. Qi said that Jun Ma deceived him. Jun Ma betrayed her trust for the sake of glory and wealth, and asked me to give her justice. Concubine, what do you think I should do to you?  How about justice?¡±

    No matter how strong Concubine Qi is in her heart, her face turns pale with shock.  But she quickly endured the strangeness and said: "My princess, please forgive me. She grew up in the border area and doesn't know etiquette" What Qi Liniang did was a slap in Wen Wan's face.  If this tone comes out to the Qi family, the Qi family will really be killed by this ignorant woman.

    Wen Wan waved her hand: "I invite you to come, not for you to come and give me advice."They say good things.  I just want to know how the imperial concubine plans to deal with it?  "

    Concubine Qi gritted her teeth: "The Qi family is the concubine of the princess. It is up to the princess to decide how to deal with it. The concubine dare not overstep her authority."

    Wen Wan's expression was very calm, and there was no anger as imagined by Concubine Qi: "Then please tell me, why did the Qi family ignore Qi Li when she was a concubine? It stands to reason that the legitimate daughter of the Qi family is willing to become a concubine. This is detrimental to the concubine.  Is the Qi family just letting Mother Qi go when it comes to the family¡¯s reputation? I¡¯m curious, can you tell me why?¡±

    Concubine Qi was a little timid. If Wen Wan directly said to kill Qi Liniang, she would definitely bear the burden.  If you die, you will die.  But the princess's question was really tricky: "It is my concubine's father who makes the decision. No one in the family dares to disobey."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? can be looking at Concubine Qi with a gentle smile and leaning on the Grand Master's chair.  The gentle and indifferent expression made Concubine Qi even more restless.

    Xia Yao said coldly on the side: "Although Qi Quan is the border marshal, he is also the pillar of your Qi family. But no one in the Qi family can ignore such a big event that insults the family. If the noble concubine knows, please tell me.  Princess. It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. "The legitimate daughter is willing to be a concubine, and it's not just as simple as this woman willing to be a concubine.  This is a signal that the family tradition is declining, and for many people, the family is about to decline.  Moreover, although Qi Quan is the head of the family, he does not have the final say alone in matters that harm the family.  Even if the emperor did something that harmed the state, the censor's memorial would fly to the emperor's study room like snowflakes.

    Concubine Qi looked very helpless: "These are the decisions made by the elders in the family. At that time, I was just a girl in the family. Let alone interfere in these family affairs. I don't even know."

    Wen Wan was always smiling, but after hearing these words, her face immediately darkened, and her sharp eyes shot towards Concubine Qi.

    Concubine Qi suddenly stood up and wanted to kneel down.  If the palace maid serving tea hadn't reacted very quickly and stopped her, she would have knelt on the ground and begged for mercy on the spot.  When Concubine Qi reacted, her heart felt cold and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

    From the slightly trembling hands of Concubine Qi, it can be seen that she was greatly frightened just now. Wen Wan is very weird. She didn't do anything just now!

    Concubine Qi was really frightened just now.  The look in Wen Wan's eyes just now was the same as the emperor's expression when he was furious.  Absolutely similar.  Facing this devastating look, Concubine Qi couldn't resist.

    Seeing Concubine Qi's expression, Wen Wan's face became even colder: "If Concubine Qi really doesn't know anything, I won't be in trouble. Come and see the guests off." It would be strange not to know.  Women in the palace would not care about matters that concern their vital interests.  She would be a fool to believe it.

    Concubine Qi was silent for a while and then said: "This did cause an uproar in the Qi family at first. But the matter soon calmed down."

    Seeing Concubine Qi pause, Wen Wan's face remained pale.  It's like you said, I listen.  you do not say.  Of course I have a way to know.

    Concubine Qi could only grit her teeth and said: "Although Qi Li's surname is Qi, she is not the flesh and blood of my Qi family. She just took the surname of my Qi family. My grandfather had a tough attitude towards this matter. In the end, no one in the clan stopped coming out.  "This is just an excuse. Regardless of whether she is a daughter of the Qi family or not, if she takes the surname Qi, it will be a disgrace to the Qi family.

    Wen Wan's eyes flashed, and Xia Yao beside her was surprised: "So, Qi Li is not Qi Quan's daughter, nor is she your aunt?" Qi Guifei is Qi Quan's granddaughter and the eldest daughter of the second wife.  When King Zheng was canonized as crown prince, this was the only woman of the right age in the Qi family.  According to seniority, she should call Qi Liniang aunt.

    Wen Wan really didn¡¯t expect to dig up such a big gossip.  .  She just vaguely felt that something was wrong.  Well, Wen Wan can only sigh, there are secrets everywhere in the big families in the capital!

    Concubine Qi nodded: "Yes. This is also a secret of our family. I do have an aunt, but this aunt died young when she was more than one year old. At that time, the old lady adopted an aunt because her daughter died young.  Baby girl. This baby girl is now Qi Liniang. She is only the adopted daughter of the Qi family, and her grandfather has a tough attitude, so when Qi Liniang became General Bai's concubine, the Qi family remained silent in the end. "

    Wen Wan smiled faintly.  On the surface, it seems to make sense. An adopted daughter is better than a legitimate daughter, for example, but not even a concubine.  Let's put it this way, you can adopt countless adopted daughters, as long as they can contribute to the Qi family, it doesn't matter if they are concubines.  Anyway, she is not a daughter of the Qi family.  But in fact, it's not the case at all.  As soon as this incident came out, the whole family was implicated. The girls of the Qi family would have a difficult marriage in the future, at least they would be a little shorter than before.  And if this is true, it should be publicized after the incident that Qi Liniang is not a bloodline of the Qi family.  But the Qi family remained silent.

    Wenwan is now definitely involved in interests, and?The benefits sought must outweigh the harm caused by reputation.  What exactly is Qi Quan planning?  The matter was more complicated than she thought: "Did Marshal Qi tell the Qi family? How did the imperial concubine know about such a secret matter?"

    Concubine Qi nodded: "I only found out about this not long ago. The clan agreed at first because my grandfather said that the commander-in-chief promised to be the only one in the future. But no one could have imagined"

    Wen Wan's mind turned in countless twists and turns, her face expressionless: "Thank you, the Imperial Concubine, for telling me the inside story. It helped me clear up my doubts." In this way, what she felt was wrong probably came from Qi Quan.

    Seeing that Wen Wan was not displeased, Concubine Qi said tactfully: "Princess, at that time, my uncle wrote several times saying that he wanted to take Qi Liniang back to educate her, but Tian tried to stop her. Qi Liniang grew up in the border gate and didn't understand  I don't know about etiquette. She took the path of becoming a concubine of her own free will. Now that she is a member of the general's mansion, no matter what the outcome is, the Qi family will not interfere.  The line has been drawn.  This will save Qi Liniang from causing any trouble and implicate the Qi family.  Concubine Qi was frightened, but she had carefully considered telling such a secret.  The second house is not a big house and cannot inherit the title.  All the second wife's hopes were on her, and she vaguely guessed her grandfather's plan.  But this plan fell through when the princess married Bai Shinian.  Now she is unwilling to offend Princess Wenwan for a purpose that cannot be achieved at all.  She didn't want to live in the cold palace at such a young age.

    Wen Wan waved her hand: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Inviting Your Majesty to come this time will only clear up some of my doubts. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm not one of those people who can't tell the difference between right and wrong."

    Concubine Qi heard what Wen Wan said.  It's like a stone dropped in my heart.  Wen Wan's reputation is very good. Since she said she doesn't blame him in person, she will never use cold knives behind her back.

    It was also at this time.  A eunuch came back from outside and said that the emperor had invited the princess to come over.

    Out of Yongning Palace.  The personal maid next to Concubine Qi said worriedly: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this?"

    Concubine Qi shook her head: "It doesn't matter, even if I don't tell, the princess will find out. Idiot, if you want to die, just find a piece of land by yourself. Not only will the Qi family be implicated, but this palace will also be implicated." Actually in public.  , Looking for justice from County Wenwan?  What justice do you want?  Let the princess kill Bai Shinian.  Or let the princess and Bai Shinian reconcile?  Or even worse, let the princess and Bai Shinian fall out with each other.

    Wen Wan thought about Concubine Qi's performance just now, and asked Xia Yao puzzledly: "Why was Concubine Qi so scared just now? Am I scary?" Although she was unhappy, it wasn't that scary, right?  Concubine Qi was so frightened that she wanted to kneel down with her.

    Xia Yao smiled and said: "Princess, I believe that anyone who has seen the emperor angry will not be afraid to see the expression on the princess's face just now. The princess herself does not know, not to mention that expression. It is at least 99% similar.  . "Do you think Concubine Qi is afraid?"

    ???????????? It was printed from the same mold.  But now, the emperor's power is getting stronger and stronger.  And she became more and more peaceful.

    Xia Yao didn't say anything, but Xia Ying rarely spoke: "Other times, she's fine, but when she's angry, her expression is exactly the same."

    Wen Wan glanced at Xia Ying, what does this mean?  Wen Wan quickly suppressed the weirdness in her heart.  Returning to the topic just now: "It seems that what Bai Shinian will face is more dangerous than I imagined."

    Xia Yao hesitated: "Qi Quan shouldn't be so bold." After all, the general is now the husband of the princess.  If the general has any shortcomings, the princess will definitely make people pay with blood.  Qi Quan.  Unless you're crazy.

    Wen Wan snorted coldly: "Qi Quan might not. But you can't be wary of others. Moreover, the situation at the border has changed drastically. I believe Manchu lovers will not be able to hold back. If Manchu lovers get involved" Wen Wan  Wan also didn't want to think the situation was so bad.  But she was used to thinking about the worst-case scenario, and only then would she think about countermeasures.

    When Wenwan returned to Yanghe Hall, Bai Shinian stood in the palace like a statue.  The emperor is sitting leisurely on the dragon couch.

    Wen Wan saluted the emperor.  The emperor looked at Wen Wan and said with a smile: "Why did it take you so long to come here?"

    ??Smiled gently.  The emperor waved his hand: "Everyone, get out."

    Xia Yao walked to Bai Shinian and whispered: "General, the emperor has something to discuss with the princess. Go outside and wait!" The emperor is heaven.  Everything said is correct.  No one dared to disagree.  Bai Shinian followed Xia Yao out honestly.  Before leaving, don¡¯t forget to take a look at Wen Wan.  Wenwan didn't even look at him, which made Bai Shinian feel depressed.

    ??After everyone left, the emperor looked at Wen Wan and said, "Let's go ahead and get everyone out. What can you say?" The uncle and nephew were so familiar with each other that Wen Wan could not escape the emperor's eyes no matter what she thought or did.

    Wen Wan smiled and praised the emperor for being so powerful and so clever.  After patting the dragon's fart, she told the emperor what Concubine Qi had just said to her.  After finishing, he said worriedly: "Uncle Emperor, I can feel that the Qi family does not want to delegate power, but their Qi family's talents are withering, so they want to train Bai Shinian. I am afraid that Bai Shinian will be in trouble if he goes back this time."

    The emperor frowned, he had already guessed this.  None of the descendants of the Qi family are outstanding.  The family didn't have any, so they wanted to seek outside help.  At first I thought I was interested in Chen Abu, but unfortunately he was brave and foolish.  Bai Shinian is the best candidate in every aspect.  However, since Wen Wan was married to Bai Shinian, Qi Quan did not dare to be too presumptuous.

    The emperor's relief cannot reassure Wen Wan.  Wenwan wanted to speak but stopped.

    The emperor glanced at Wen Wan and said with an unhappy look on his face: "Tell me, what do you want?" This look meant that he was asking for something.

    Wen Wan said cheerfully: "Uncle Emperor, I don't know what to say. I didn't even say anything, so you knew I was asking you."

    The emperor patted Wen Wan's head gently and said: "As soon as you roll your eyes, I know what you are thinking. Tell me, what else do you want?" I wanted guards just now, now.  What else could she ask for to reassure her.

    At this point, if you keep beating around the bush, the emperor will probably reprimand you.  So Wen Wan spoke directly without any hesitation: "I want to borrow something from the emperor's uncle for Bai Shinian."

    The emperor looked at Wen Wan.

    Wen Wan said with a smile: "Uncle Emperor, I want to borrow that piece of gold silk armor. I heard that the gold silk soft armor is invulnerable and can defend yourself. It is most suitable for people like Bai Shinian who are often in danger. With him,  It's an extra bit of protection." The emperor gave her that dress during the last rebellion.  Return it to the emperor when you come back.  Anyway, neither the emperor nor her have any use now.  Bai Shinian is in need of such a treasure.  She begged shamelessly.

    It was fate that the emperor got this soft gold armor in the first place.  It was also because of this treasure that it saved his life several times.  No more than three people knew about it.  And Wenwan is just one of them.  Now he has reached the rank of Ninth Five-Year-Old, surrounded by masters, and is deep in the palace.  I've stopped wearing that baby for a long time.  There is nothing wrong with lending it to Bai Shinian.  However, the emperor still kept a straight face: "It's so quick to turn to Bai Shinian."

    Wenwan is not afraid of others seeing the emperor angry.  But this is not the time to stand up to the emperor.  Wen Wan took a tactful route: "Uncle Emperor, I'm sure I'm pregnant. Uncle Emperor, I don't want the child to be born without seeing his father." Wen Wan's voice became smaller and smaller: "Uncle Emperor,  In fact, I'm very worried. I'm not afraid of ten years, I'm just afraid" I'm just afraid, Bai Shinian won't be there once he leaves.  She already had this man in her heart.  If something happened to Bai Shinian, Wen Wan wouldn't have the courage to bear the consequences.  so.  She will do her best to minimize the harm.

    The emperor touched Wen Wan's head and said, "Uncle didn't say not to give it. When the time comes, we'll have someone deliver it to your house." He was preparing to send it there with both the person and the things.

    Although Wen Wan got that thing.  But the mood is still very low.

    The emperor could only sigh slightly.  If possible, he doesn't want Wen Wan and his wife to be separated: "If you are still worried about anything, let's talk about it together. If uncle can do it, I will definitely promise you."

    Wen Wan¡¯s eyes brightened, but then dimmed again.  As soon as the emperor saw Wen Wan's expression, he knew that what he was asking for this time must be very big: "Silly girl, just tell me what you have to say. There is nothing else you can't say in front of my uncle."

    Wen Wan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Uncle Emperor, the cavalry battalion was originally intended to be a surprise force, but now it has been completely exposed to the eyes of the Manchu people. If you can let Bai Shinian directly take charge of the cavalry battalion, with this powerful  Help. I think the danger will be reduced to a minimum." At this point, Wen Wan grabbed the emperor's hand and quickly explained: "Uncle Emperor, I know I shouldn't have this idea, but I am getting more and more uneasy.  , Bai Shinian promised me to wait for him to defeat Manchu, and then handed over the military power and stayed with me and my children at home. Uncle Emperor, I have always wanted to live a life where my husband and children are on the bed."  here.  I can't say any more.  There were tears in his eyes.  I am really sad and worried about not acting this time.  Wen Wan's heart aches whenever she thinks of being separated for ten years.  In front of Bai Shinian, she suppressed her emotions and refused to show them.  In front of the emperor, I took this opportunity to vent my anger.

    The emperor was still very satisfied with Bai Shinian's promise.  After defeating the Manchus, he will definitely take back military power.  But taking it back by force has a different meaning than handing it over on your own initiative.  The emperor thought for a long time and said: "Now"You're so worried, I'll write a handwritten note saying that if something happens to Bai Shinian, he can get help from the cavalry battalion."  what do you think?  "

    Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief.  With the help of the cavalry battalion, at least the risk has been reduced by more than half.  Wen Wan was not dissatisfied with the fact that the emperor only allowed the cavalry battalion to help Bai Shinian, but was just grateful.  When this cavalry battalion was first established, Wen Wan knew that the significance of this cavalry was not only to kill the Manchus.  The emperor had other considerations: "Thank you, uncle emperor. Uncle emperor is so kind."

    The emperor touched Wen Wan's head and said softly: "As long as you can feel at ease, that's fine." Of course, he couldn't let anything happen to Bai Shinian regardless of his merits or personal interests.  Even if he thought that Bai Shinian, who had experienced many battles, would be fine, Qi Quan was not so courageous.  But there's nothing wrong with taking a few extra precautions to put Wen Wan's mind at ease.  (To be continued)
