w Wenwan returned to the palace and immediately ordered her to go down and pack. She left the capital and went to Haikou. This news caused an uproar in the mansion. The emperor is about to go on an expedition, and the princess is about to leave the capital. Although everyone had a lot on their minds, they all packed their bags honestly as ordered. Because the time of departure was uncertain, Wen Wanrang packed everything he could. This workload is not ordinary.
When Qi Zhe and Ling Chang got the news, they quickly ran over and asked Wen Wan: "Aunt (cousin), are you going to take Mingjin to Haikou?"
Wen Wan said with a smile: "Yes. The Emperor has agreed. After everything is packed, I will take Mingjin to Haikou and reunite with Mingrui. When the Emperor comes back from the expedition, I will also take Minggrui and Mingrui with me. We went back to the capital together with Jin."
Lingting hesitated and said, "Auntie, I still want to go to Haikou with you." He didn't know the specific return journey. But one thing is certain, it will take at least half a year, if not a year, to come back. Although Wen Wan had already said that she needed the consent of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. But Ling Chang still wanted to go out with Wen Wan.
Wen Wan shook her head: "No. It's a long journey, and it won't be peaceful. Your father, queen, mother, and concubine won't agree, and your aunt can't take you there. Qi Zhe, I can't take you either. You guys are in the capital, and it's estimated that by the end of the year Auntie should be back soon."
Fortunately, Lingcheng had already rejected Wen Wan before. It would just be another fight.
Qi Zhe said, "Cousin, I will convince my grandfather to allow me to follow my aunt to go out into the world. Cousin, if my grandfather agrees, can you take me to Haikou?" Qi Zhe believed that his grandfather would not refuse. The question is whether Wenwan should take him or not.
Wen Wan shook her head: "This time we go out is not for fun. I can't take you out. I will take you with me when I go out next time." Wen Wan doesn't like to write bad checks. I promise Qi Zhe now, but I won¡¯t be able to go when the time comes. Wouldn't it be disappointing to the child?
Qi Zhe was very disappointed.
Mingjin jumped up and down with joy after hearing the news. He hasn't seen his brother for half a year, and he really misses him. Mingjin also misses Bai Shinian, but in the end the relationship with Mingrui is far beyond the relationship between them through letters: "Mom, when will we set off. When can we see my brother? Mom, do you think I have to Bringing a gift to my brother? Mom, what kind of gift would you like to bring? Mom, you said it¡¯s very hot in Haikou? What kind of clothes should I bring?¡± Wen Wan couldn¡¯t say anything.
Xia Ying couldn't help but laugh when she saw Mingjin chattering away. This child was so happy that he forgot all about himself.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????: "When mom is done with what she is doing, she will take you to the market, and you can choose the things you want to give to Mingrui as a gift."
Mingjin nodded hurriedly.
The news that the emperor had agreed to Wen Wan¡¯s permission to leave Beijing in the near future quickly spread throughout the capital. The prince was shocked when he got the news.
The prince's staff thought this was excellent news: "Your Highness, Princess Wen Wan's prestige is too high. With the princess here, His Royal Highness the prince will be restrained in his actions." Despite the fact that Wen Wan had not been involved in government affairs in the past. But none of the important ministers in the court knew that Princess Wenwan was the emperor's personal staff. The princess will always be called upon when something is unclear. In addition, Princess Wenwan has very good personal relations with many ministers (actually, there are only two or three, all of them are superficial friends. For example, Prime Minister Mi, Shangshu Fang, etc.). Even Wen Wan's influence in the military is not weak. I think back then, Princess Wenwan was able to take control of the capital when she was only fifteen years old, deploying troops and generals. Putting such people in the capital was enough to stabilize the capital. As for Princess Wenwan's prestige among the people, let's not talk about it (compared to the previous ones, This is all useless). With Princess Wenwan around, the prince has to be careful in everything he does, so it is a good thing for them that Wenwan leaves the capital. certainly. There are also downsides. After analysis and analysis, there are still half pros and cons.
The third prince was a little surprised that Wen Wan left the capital: "I didn't expect Wen Wan to go to Haikou." The third prince thought that Wen Wan would join the army to the death! Unexpectedly, I had to leave Beijing for Haikou. Haikou, that¡¯s Wenwan¡¯s place!
The staff did not think so: "Your Highness, the emperor's move is unpredictable! And it is extremely detrimental to the situation." The prince has behaved improperly in recent years. The staff did not believe that the prince could maintain his own position and stabilize the rear. As for the fifth and sixth princes, the staff did not have high expectations. ambitious. But he doesn't have enough ability or prestige.
Qi Mu also couldn't understand this: "I don't know what my father thinks?"
Wen Wan's insistence on leaving the capital has little impact on the third prince. But it had a great influence on the fifth prince. Although Yan Qixuan also mentioned the emperor's love for Wen Wan, he might have agreed in a hurry. But that's just a guess. After all, Yan Qixuan didn't think the emperor would let Wen Wan go. Unexpectedly, Wen Wan really gained the upper hand, and his father agreed to let Wen Wan leave the capital. Once Wen Wan leaves, the prince willTaking advantage of the right time, place, people and people,
Yan Qixuan was extremely depressed: "Father, father really loves Wenwan, it hurts so much" With Wenwan gone, there was no one in the capital who could restrain the prince. As for him and the Sixth Prince, Yan Qixuan really wasn't sure. In the first two years, he also fought with the third prince, but later he realized that something was wrong and restrained himself, keeping a low profile. So he really doesn't have many resources at hand. Wen Wan will be scrupulous in the capital and the prince will act restrained. If Wen Wan is not in the capital, he is afraid that the prince will kick them out of the way first.
When Yan Qixuan thought about it at the end, he could only sigh helplessly: "We still need to plan slowly!" An idea from Wen Wan disrupted his plans. Everything had to be planned again. This woman is a troublesome primarch.
When Mrs. He heard that Wen Wan was leaving the capital, she thought to herself, "This shouldn't be the case. How could Princess Wen Wan leave the capital at this time?" How could the emperor agree? This is really unbelievable: "Your Majesty, is this news true?"
Qi Feng nodded and said: "This can still be false. Wen Wan has already ordered some salutes. Now everyone in the princess's mansion is busy. It is estimated that they will go to Haikou in a few days. You may not know that Wen Wan is over there in Haikou. There are several islands. It is said that Wenwan is going to the island through Haikou. Speaking of which, Wenwan is quite powerful in Haikou. "Not only is the largest business house hers. Wen Wan is still the leader of the Huwei Army. With the financial and military power seized, Wen Wan went to Haikou. That is the real boss, the local emperor.
He's mind was spinning for countless times: "Your Majesty, how could the emperor allow the princess to go to Haikou?" He also hoped that Wen Wan would leave, and it would be very beneficial for them to leave. There is gentleness. They have scruples in doing things. Who knows what tricks this woman will use to deal with them. So I definitely have to tie my hands and feet. At first, He really didn't think that the emperor would let Wenwan leave the capital. Even if Wen Wan wanted to do so, the emperor would not agree. The emperor's move. It¡¯s really hard to see through!
Qi Feng shook his head: "I don't know. But as far as I know, no matter what cousin Wen Wan does, as long as she wants to do it, there is nothing she can't do. Her father has always doted on her, and if she uses some caution, her father The emperor agreed. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. My father asked me to help the prince with me. This is a good opportunity. "Qi Feng is the one who doesn't care where Wen Wan goes. He would never live in peace with the prince if he acted against Lao Wu. Then he will be able to make a profit. Wenwan would still get in the way in the capital. Things that get in his way.
He did not continue the topic.
Wen Wan was talking to the two shopkeepers about the bank when she heard Meier come to the door. She invited Meier in with a gentle smile.
Meier saw Wen Wan and said anxiously: "I got news that you are going to Haikou? Wen Wan, are you really going to Haikou? How can you go to Haikou properly?"
Wen Wan smiled and said: "It's not like you don't know that I have always been the piece of fat in everyone's eyes. Now that the emperor's uncle is not in the capital, I have to make everyone want to take a bite of my piece of fat. So I want to take advantage of the fact that the emperor's uncle is not in the capital, firstly, to leave this place of right and wrong, and secondly, to go out and relax. I have never been out of the capital in my life. My dream is to see all the beautiful places in the world and eat everywhere. Snacks from all over the world.¡±
Meier was stunned: "Wen Wan, are you saying that there will be murderous intent in the capital?" According to theory, Wen Wan should be the target of everyone's wooing. But the gentle tone was very inappropriate.
Wen Wan smiled happily, but did not nod or shake her head. Instead, he changed the topic: "Why didn't you bring Brother Bao here today? It's been a long time since you came?" Brother Bao used to come to the princess's mansion every month to play Cuju. It hasn't been here for two months.
Meier shook his head: "I'm going to Mingyue Villa." After saying something, he paused and asked again: "Wen Wan. Do you really have to leave Beijing? Do you have to leave Beijing?" The situation has become so difficult. ? Meier also felt vaguely worried.
The smile on Wen Wan's face didn't break: "I've packed up all the gifts, how can I not go. And Ming Rui is still in Haikou. Ming Jin keeps shouting to find his brother, this will not fulfill this kid's wish. Moreover, I miss Mingrui too. When the emperor's uncle returns to the capital, I will be back soon. "
Seeing Wen Wan, Meier never revealed the details to her. There was deep disappointment in my heart. This was the first time that Wen Wan didn't try his best to tell her.
Xia Ying sent Meier off.
Wen Wan looked at Mei'er's background and found that not everything could be said.
After Meier left, people came to her door one after another. The Crown Princess also came and chatted for a few words. It is absolutely impossible to get the news from Wen Wan's mouth. They all got beaten by Wen Wan and got through it.
Concubine Tong Shizi also came over, but Concubine Tong ShiziThe purpose is to inquire about the news, but to ask Wen Wan to help take things to Haikou. The princess has prepared three large boxes of gifts and please give them to Princess Yiman Wenwan. When Wen Wan heard the contents of the three carts, she couldn't help laughing: "There is nothing in Haikou. It's all thanks to the princess's motherly heart. OK, I'll bring it. I can't let the princess down. I believe the princess must be very happy." "
Concubine Tong Shizi nodded and smiled. Not much else to say.
Two days before departure, the emperor summoned Wen Wan into the palace: "Tell your uncle, what exactly are you planning to do?" He was about to leave Beijing, and Wen Wan didn't give him any instructions. The emperor felt vaguely uneasy. Of course, the emperor believed that Wen Wan would not look down on him, so he deliberately told him not to leave the capital, and then left. It's just that the emperor is used to having everything under control, and he feels unhappy when things are out of his control.
Wen Wan said that she had to send Ming Jing away for safety, which was why she did this. The emperor wanted to know what Wen Wan was going to do. What a safety law.
Wen Wan shook her head and said nothing: "Uncle Emperor, you can't say it. It won't be effective if you say it. Uncle Emperor, don't worry, I will not leave the capital. I will not lie to you. You see, I have lied to you for so many years. I'm sorry for you." It's not like Wen Wan is trying to show off, it really can't be said.
Seeing that Wen Wan was determined not to let go, the emperor stopped dwelling on the matter. Then he talked to Wen Wan about the personal expedition. He also gave Wen Wan the task of supervising the prince. Extraordinary measures can be used when necessary.
Wen Wan murmured: "It's easy to say. The prince is the crown prince of a country, how can I take extraordinary measures. Moreover, the fifth prince and the sixth prince are not vegetarians. Uncle Emperor, I can just watch from the side. There is no need for this. I'm anxious to get angry. "Anyway, no matter how chaotic the capital is, the third prince is the most favored by the emperor and is taken away. That's the foundation. No matter how chaotic it is, you don't have to worry!"
Xia Ying looked at Wen Wan, not quite understanding what Wen Wan was planning. The emperor didn't say anything in the end because the princess's attitude was very strange. According to how much the princess cherished her life, she knew the capital would be in danger and didn't find a talisman or two. It's really rare. Xia Ying even doubted whether Wen Wan wanted to escape. However, based on Xia Ying's understanding of Wen Wan, if there is no general on the front line, the probability of escape is 99%. But there is still a general ahead, and whether the princess escapes is still open to question.
Xia Ying couldn't help it and asked Wen Wan: "Princess, what are your plans? Even the emperor wants to hide it. How do you plan to let Mingjin go?" Not only did you hide it from the emperor, but also from her Concealed together. The book was really good that day!
Wen Wan smiled faintly: "You will know soon." The emperor knew that the results would be seen within two days, so he did not ask any more questions. Otherwise, she will definitely not be released unless she is forced to tell the truth.
Xia Ying admired Wen Wan very much: "Princess, you have done a great job in keeping secrets." Xia Ying knew in her heart that if it were Xia Yao, the princess would not hide it. Xia Yao is Wen Wan's true confidant.
Although Xia Ying had been mentally prepared for it, when the end came, she felt disappointed for some reason. It was also revealed on the face. This is the first time Xia Ying has shown disappointment in Wen Wan.
Wen Wan looked at the disappointed Xia Ying and said with a smile: "Don't show me this expression. You are still pretending to be disappointed for such a trivial matter. It won't make you think I'm stupid. Don't test it. I'll give it to you in two days." You'll know. You really can't say it now, because if you say it, it won't be effective. "Some things need to be unexpected to make people feel real and believe them."
After Xia Ying received Wen Wan's words, the disappointment on her face disappeared and was replaced by one. Full of smiles. Xia Ying asked Wen Wan, "Princess, what kind of method is it? So mysterious?" Seeing that Wen Wan didn't even glance at him, she hurriedly said, "Okay, I won't ask. But Princess, can you teach me something?" Let me use this method. How did you and Xia Yao pass the news? "Xia Ying actually knew that Wen Wan had his own way of communicating with Bai Shinian. But that's not unusual. What's strange is the secret message with Xia Yao.
Wen Wan smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait until Xia Yao comes back and let her tell you." The current situation is special, and Wen Wan can't say anything. This secret must be told to the emperor only after the crisis has passed.
Xia Ying doesn't like Wen Wan's show off. But if Wenwan didn't say anything, she wouldn't be able to forcefully ask. After returning home, Mingjin said Wen Wan: "Mom, you promised me to buy a gift for my brother. Haven't you bought the gift yet?"
Wen Wan hurriedly smiled and said, "I'll go shopping tomorrow." The next day, Wen Wan took Mingjin to the market to buy things. Wen Wan agreed to let Mingjin choose a suitable gift for Mingrui.
Wenwan did not go to the downtown area, but went to East Street. This is a place where high-end products are sold. Mingjin looked at this street. This was his first time here. Wenwan took Mingjin to the jade shop. Let Mingjin choose, there is everything in it.
Mingjin looked at the dazzling things and whispered to WenWan said: "Mom, the things here are so expensive. I can't afford them." These things are worth thousands of taels of silver. The money he had saved for so long, combined with the gold and silver gifts given by his elders, was only more than three hundred taels. Where can I afford it?
The shopkeeper next to her had very sharp ears. When she heard Mingjin say that she couldn't afford anything, Huali was instantly embarrassed. The princess's son couldn't afford anything. What could be more shocking than that?
Wenwan smiled softly: "As long as there is something you value, mother will pay for it."
Mingjin shook his head: "No, of course I have to pay for what I gave to my brother. Otherwise, it would be so insincere. Mom, why don't we go somewhere else and look!" When Mingjin said this, his eyes But he looked at a ring finger.
Wen Wan followed his eyes and saw a jade wrench. The wrench was as clear as water and was made of fine jade. The body is cylindrical, with fine patterns carved on both the inner and outer walls. Regardless of the material, craftsmanship, or decoration, they are all of the highest quality.
Wen Wan touched Mingjin¡¯s head. This guy really has extraordinary eyesight. After all, I have seen too many good things. His eyes were vicious: "Are you interested in this jade ring? But can your brother wear it?" When pulling a bow and arrow, in order to prevent your hands from being scratched, you must have something to protect your hands. This ring is one of them. However, all Wenwan prepared were rhinoceros horn or camel bone finger wrenches. It's not that Wen Wan is reluctant to use the good ones. But the master said that kind of thing is better. The thumb ring that Mingjin likes is for adults, and Mingrui will definitely not be able to use it now.
Mingjin shook his head: "Brother, if you don't need it now, you can use it in the future! Mom, please lend me money first, and I will pay you back when I have money later. Is that possible?" He really fell in love with this ring, very much. pretty. It must look good wearing it.
The shopkeeper next to me looked strange when he heard about borrowing money. I only heard that the son asked his mother for money. A mother gives money to her son, but I have never heard of a son borrowing money from his mother.
Wen Wan rolled her eyes and said, "If your brother doesn't want it or doesn't like it, what should you do?" This boy obviously wanted this ring because he thought it was beautiful. Hey, the little guy¡¯s nature is hard to change!
Mingjin said without thinking, "Brother, I don't want it, just keep it for me to wear!" After saying this, he realized that he had fallen into a trap. Looking into Wen Wan's half-smiling eyes, he whispered, "Mom, my brother will definitely like it. How could he not like such a good thing?" My brother will definitely like the things he gave me.
Wen Wan smiled: "Shopkeeper, how much does this ring cost?"
The shopkeeper didn't dare to give Wen Wan a false report: "Originally, it was sold for two thousand taels. If the princess wants it, I will give it one thousand five hundred taels. What does the princess think?" This is already close to the cost price. Didn't get the price back.
Wen Wan nodded, the price of this ring is probably around this. Not a false offer.
Mingjin's eyes widened after hearing this: "Is it so expensive? I only have twenty taels of silver a month. Then I have to save for six years to afford this ring." After finishing speaking, he looked very hesitant. After a while. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, I don't want it anymore, it's too expensive." Thinking about the monthly payment for six years, he couldn't buy anything in these six years. There will be no money to buy anything when going shopping in the future, so Mingjin doesn¡¯t dare to ask for it.
The shopkeeper was afraid that his emotions would be exposed, so he quickly lowered his head. Let the princess see that something is wrong. When the time comes, I can't afford it. The shopkeeper lowered his head and was still muttering, how did the princess teach the children!
Wen Wan smiled softly: "Since you said you won't buy it, then you won't buy it." She winked at Xia Ying. Pulling Mingjin out of the jade shop. Keep walking forward.
We also met a few familiar people on the road. Wen Wan greeted these people and continued walking with Mingjin. Until lunch, Mingjin didn't pick anything she liked: "Mom, I think the finger ring is better." The more Mingjin failed to buy a gift, the more she couldn't forget the finger ring.
Wen Wan smiled and touched Ming Jin's head: "Okay, when we finish lunch, we will go back and buy some." Wen Wan took him to Zuixiang Tower. When the shopkeeper saw Wen Wan, he immediately took Wen Wan to the best box. Wen Wan ordered a table of dishes, all of which were Mingjin's favorite dishes.
Mingjin ate happily, but when he looked up, he saw that Wenwan hadn't taken down a few chopsticks: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you reluctant to leave the capital? Wait until we go to Haikou to find my brother, and then come back with him. Then. Dad is back too, and our family is reunited.¡±
?????????????? She touched Mingjin's forehead with a gentle smile: "No, Mom is not hungry, so she just watches Mingjin eat."
Mingjin didn¡¯t know why, so he took some food to Wen Wan and said, ¡°Mom, eat. If you¡¯re not hungry now, don¡¯t eat. You¡¯ll be hungry later.¡±
¡°Eat it gently and slowly, eat very slowly, really chew it carefully. Mingjin was full and was talking to Wenwan. Wenwan handed the goat milk in her hand to Mingjin: "Drink this cup of milk."
Mingjin took it and drank it.
After Mingjin finished eating, Mingjin blinked quickly.He blinked his eyes a few times: "Mom, I'm so sleepy. Mom, I want to sleep."
Wen Wan pulled him into her arms: "Go to sleep when you are sleepy. Mom will hold you to sleep." When Wen Wan said this, her eyes were red.
Not long after Wen Wan finished speaking, Mingjin fell asleep in his arms. Xia Ying originally said that Mingjin would go back when she fell asleep, but before she could say anything, she saw Wenwan kissing Mingjin's cheek with tears in her eyes. I was filled with surprise and doubt. Wen Wan said in a hoarse voice: "You go out and watch. Mingjin and I will have a good time." Mingjin is eight years old, and Wen Wan usually doesn't hug him because she can't hold him. But now I have been holding on to it and reluctant to let go.
Not long after Xia Ying went out, she heard movement in the box. Immediately opening the door, Xia Ying looked at the sudden appearance of three more people in the room, her eyes widened as big as a copper bell. This, there is a secret passage in this house, why didn¡¯t she know about it!
After being confused for three seconds, Xia Ying quickly entered the box and closed the door with her backhand. Xia Ying looked at the child who was very similar in height and appearance to Mingjin with a look of shock on his face. : "Xia Yao, when did you return to Beijing? What's going on?"
Xia Yao smiled softly: "That's what you see." Both of them spoke in extremely low voices. They just don't want anyone to hear their conversation. Welcome to come and your support is my biggest motivation. m
