Now that I have drawn PS, I have finally climbed up. It is not easy
In Mingjin¡¯s eager anticipation, the army finally returned to Beijing.
The emperor had an imperial edict in advance and only brought five thousand people into the city. All the others were camped outside the capital. Even if 5,000 people enter the city, it will be an extraordinary draw.
Wen Wan definitely couldn¡¯t take the two brothers with her when she led the courtiers to pick her up. The ones I brought with me were all of high rank and official positions, and they couldn't go without reaching a certain official rank. The two children must not follow. But Wenwan also knows that lively places are also places where accidents happen. Therefore, Mingrui and Mingjin were not allowed to have fun. The two brothers were left at home to wait for news.
Wen Wan will now understand why the emperor's grandfather did not let him go when Bai Shinian went to Beijing to offer prisoners. Because it's really dangerous.
After receiving the news, Mingjin looked at Wenwan in disbelief, and when she came to her senses, she shouted: "Mom, I must go to the city gate to pick up my father." Mingjin wanted to follow Wenwan to meet her father outside the city gate. of. But in the end, Wen Wan told him not to go. Now it¡¯s not even possible to wait in the market. It's really unreasonable. No, absolutely not.
Wen Wan explained patiently: "Mingjin, it's not a fun place there. Just stay at home and wait for your father and mother to come back, okay?"
Tomorrow, Wen Wan and all the civil and military officials will wait outside the city gate for the emperor's carriage. The emperor's return to the court with his troops was not like other generals. Seriously, he would camp outside the capital and wait to enter the city the next day. The emperor came back and determined that the ministers would have to wait outside on this day. When to arrive, when to enter the city. Wen Wan actually didn't want to go, but she knew she would suffer. Even if this year's winter is warmer than previous years in this cold winter, don't be so tormenting! Just pure abuse. In this pick-up, many people will definitely fall down and recuperate for several months.
Mingjin was unwilling: "Mom, I don't want to wait for dad at home. I have to go." He said this not to be coquettish, but to tell Wen Wan that his attitude could not be rejected.
Wanwan is not loose.
Mother and son are in a tense showdown. Qiu Han looked anxious from the side, but she didn't have the right to interrupt at this time. Xia Yao was smiling beside her and had no tendency to persuade.
Mingjin became anxious and didn't care anymore. He blurted out: "Mom, I must go. You can't stop me."
Seeing Wen Wan's face sinking, Mingrui said quickly: "Mom, my brother and I won't follow you to wait for the emperor's uncle and father outside the city gate. But we can book a wing near the street when the army returns to the palace. Come. We were watching the army in the restaurant. Even if there was a stampede, it had nothing to do with us. Mom, don¡¯t worry, I will not let him leave the box until no one comes back from the market. Look at this. Okay." Mingrui thinks this compromise is a good one. Otherwise, given Mingjin's temperament, it would be strange if things didn't turn upside down!
Seeing Mingrui, Wen Wan also spoke. There was no other way. This meant that the two sons agreed that they must admire their father's handsome appearance. Otherwise it will be a lifelong regret for them.
Wen Wan thought for a moment, and if she didn¡¯t agree, these two boys would grind her hard. When she leaves the mansion, they might even find a way to sneak out! Wouldn't it be more dangerous then? Otherwise, take this safer approach.
Wenwan immediately asked Xia Tian to book a private room. I went too late and the private rooms were all booked. In the end, the price was ten times higher than usual to book the box.
Wen Wan said angrily to Mingjin: "Mom spent three hundred taels of silver to book the wing. Starting from this month, it will be deducted from your monthly salary."
Mingjin said nonchalantly: "My brother and I haven't received monthly payment for a year. It's enough." That said, it is enough for the two of us.
Wenwan looked at the sky without words. Xia Yao covered her mouth and laughed.
Wen Wan was busy until midnight that day, and she couldn't stop complaining. Driving after driving, driving after driving is exhausting. Never let her do something like this again.
Wenwan was busy until the second watch, and her two sons slept well. Then he returned to his bedroom. Before Wen Wan went to bed, she muttered: "I'll have to suffer a day tomorrow." In the cold winter months, she had to wait for the emperor's return on the road. Just thinking about Wenwan makes me feel cold all over.
Xia Yao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Princess, I won't let you suffer anything." It's not as hard as the Princess said.
Wen Wan used to be as heartless as the emperor in private. But in front of others, you should not miss an inch of the rules and etiquette. It also makes it difficult for people to find faults. It was like this before. Now that Wen Wan has offended the officials in the court, she is even more cautious.
At dawn the next day, Wen Wan got up and started boxing. After the boxing, I had breakfast with my two children. Then go back to the house and change into formal clothes.
Wen Wan must wear court attire to receive the emperor this time. Wen Wan is preparing the court attire of a distinguished princess, and is not prepared to pretend to be a photographer.??The princess's service. Wen Wan still doesn't want people to worry about her regency.
Early that morning, Xia Qiao dressed up Wen Wan. Today¡¯s makeup is a must. Xia Qiao gave Wen Wan a high bun with jewelry weighing three to four kilograms. This is the reduced weight. If we go by the standards, the jewelry we wear should weigh at least six pounds. Wenwan is rarely worn so neatly. But today, you have to wear it even if you don¡¯t want to.
After finishing dressing up, Wen Wan felt like her whole body was about to sink. I'm complaining in my heart, but it won't work if I don't wear it. This is the rule. She, the leader, can't help but wear formal clothes! Wen Wan touched her sour head: "This neck is going to be broken. It's not even possible to complain."
Xia Yao smiled on the side and said: "Princess, you think so. After the emperor comes back, you won't have to be so busy. Are you right?"
Wen Wan twisted her arm, and after thinking about it, she decided to let Xia Qiao keep it simple and streamlined. Wearing so many and heavy jewelry for one day, she would definitely not be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
Xia Qiao asked someone to find the jewelry box and ponder it for a long time. After some tossing around, it still had an effect, and it looked like a head full of red hair, but the weight was much less than before. At least Wenwan feels a lot more comfortable.
Wen Wan has known for a long time how troublesome it is for women in ancient times to wear expensive makeup. In the past, it was all about streamlining, but today it¡¯s like this again. At first glance, it was already past eight o'clock.
Mingjin was a little surprised when she saw Wen Wan. This is the first time Mingjin has seen Wen Wan dressed in such a formal dress: "Mom, you look so beautiful like this."
In order to verify that what Mingjin said was right, Mingrui also nodded: "Well, Mom is really beautiful in what she wears."
Being praised by her son for her beauty, Wenwan naturally had a smile on her face. It just didn't give her more time to talk to her son. Because all the ministers outside were waiting outside the princess's mansion.
At the end of Chen Shi (9 o'clock in the morning), Wen Wan took all the civil and military officials to wait outside the city gate. Originally, the Minister of Rites asked Si Tianjian to calculate the time and said it would be eight o'clock in the morning.
But the problem is that Wen Wan wants to go later and plans to go at ten o'clock. According to the information Wen Wan received, the emperor arrived around twelve noon. Going so early, Wen Wan didn't want to blow the wind. Later, Si Tianjian said that the time of nine o'clock was also very good. Ten o'clock was definitely not possible, so we settled on nine o'clock.
Wen Wan took the ministers to wait for the emperor outside the city.
Xia Yao did not follow Wen Wan to the city gate, but led Mingrui and Mingjin to the reserved box. The emperor's uncle and their father were waiting in the box to return.
Wen Wan arrived outside the city gate with all the civil and military officials. It was about ten o'clock. The etiquette for welcoming the emperor should not be bad. A group of people stood on the official road, enjoying the cold wind.
Wenwan looked at the sky, it was okay, God is so funny, it didn¡¯t rain today and the sun came out. But the wind outside the city gate was very strong, and it was the wind in the twelfth lunar month. The wind blew on the face like a knife, causing pain.
Wenwan¡¯s clothes are much thicker than those of the ministers below. He was dressed warmly inside and wore a big cloak outside. Wenwan stood in the cold wind, blowing the cold wind, but still maintained dignified etiquette. Wen Wan's heart was filled with phlegm.
Wenwan is pretty good, and the cloak she wears is very warm. Wen Wan specially asked Xia Qiao to dig out this cloak, and it is a treasure at the bottom of the box. It was given to her by the emperor's grandfather. It is said that it takes three or four years to sew such a big cloak, which requires many top embroiderers. The stuff is indeed good. After standing for a long time, Wen Wan felt that her legs were numb and suffering from standing, but everything else was not bad. Other ministers were not so lucky. After standing for less than half an hour, some ministers' faces began to turn pale.
Xia Ying came over to deliver the news and blatantly gave Wen Wan the hot red gold hand stove to warm her hands. Wen Wan didn't worry too much and put it in her arms to keep warm.
Wen Wan turned around and looked at the courtiers, some of whom had frozen expressions on their faces. Wen Wan thought evilly, thinking that after today, many people will have to stay in bed for three to five months.
Wenwan really wants to show mercy and let everyone take a breather! But the problem is, there is no precedent for this!
The news that came through is a bit inaccurate. By noon, the army had not yet arrived. Wen Wan cursed in her heart, not saying anything in advance, and delaying it. I didn¡¯t know my legs were numb! In the coldest month of winter, if you stand for a long time, you will get rheumatism.
Xia Ying whispered: "Princess, if you bear with me, we will arrive in two quarters of an hour."
Wen Wan was cursing in her heart, but her face showed no signs of it, and she nodded calmly. Just when Wen Wan's patience was exhausted and she was almost unable to hold on any longer, she finally saw the army. No one saw it, but they saw the majestic flag first.
In front is the army, followed by the Royal Forest Army. Wen Wan waited for a long time, but still didn't see the emperor. I felt depressed right now. Whatever you do, you can't do it faster.
Bai Shinian was also among the army. He got the news early in the morning that Wen Wan would come to pick him up with his courtiers today. If it weren¡¯t for the emperor¡¯s permission, yesterdayHe wanted to go home first. I was looking forward to it early this morning, and I haven't seen Wen Wan yet. Bai Shinian looked at the countless people passing in front of him and muttered in his heart that the emperor's pomp was too great.
The emperor said that he would bring five thousand people into the city, but now it is an army of one hundred thousand. The vanguard army in front is only 20,000. It was their turn and some were waiting.
Ye Xun said happily: "General, do you really want to see the princess? If you think so, go to the front. You will see the princess soon."
Bai Shinian looked at Ye Xun coldly: "You don't want to get married, right?" How dare you make fun of him. Do you have this capital?
