Chapter 729: Many Disasters and Difficulties
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Ximen Yuqing couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Zhou, the little nephew will definitely explain it clearly, and it will definitely not cause trouble to Prime Minister Lin and Lord Wanxin." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Zhou Changan nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's very good! Tonight's banquet will begin, and then I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the virtuous nephew." ā
Ximen Yuqing smiled and thanked: "Uncle Zhou is too polite, the little nephew is already a frequent visitor to the Great Feudal Kingdom, there is no need to be so grand, everyone just has a meal together." ā
Zhou Changan nodded and smiled: "What the virtuous nephew said is that tonight's banquet is just lively and lively, not too grand, and not outsiders." A few days ago, Beixian's nephew and Jin Xian's nephew came, and they didn't set up a banquet for them to wash the dust, just waiting for you to come, so that they could catch up together. ā
Ximen Yuqing smiled and nodded, and walked with Zhou Changan while talking, and after a while, they were already gradually moving away.
Zhou Tianqi fell at the end, turned to look at Lin Wan, and there was a deep reluctance and helplessness in his eyes. He also knew that Lin Wan had to agree to participate in the concubine selection feast of Xiling Kingdom under the circumstances just now. Moreover, even if Lin Wan refuses this time, there will be a next time, and Ximen Yuqing will not let go.
Originally, Zhou Tianqi was very angry with Lin Wan's self-assertion. In the Shouxi Palace, it was not easy to endure it.
However, in front of Zhou Changan and Ximen Yuqing, Lin Wan made it very clear that she would not be the crown princess of Xiling Kingdom. Moreover, she also put forward her conditions, so that Zhou Tianqi could go to Xiling Kingdom together. The anxiety and anger in Zhou Tianqi's heart slowly dissolved.
Lin Wan looked back at Zhou Tianqi calmly, smiled, waved his hand gently, and said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, we'll see you in the evening." ā
Zhou Tianqi looked at Lin Wan's playful and cheerful appearance, and couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, staring at her smile for a long time, and his mood slowly relaxed. He tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, blinked slightly, and nodded almost invisibly.
Seeing that Zhou Tianqi was no longer angry, Lin Wan smiled happily and turned around and walked in the direction of Yulin Palace.
Qingtong and Luliu quickly followed her, and the three of them gradually walked away along the path leading to Yulin Palace.
Seeing them walk into Yulin Palace, Zhou Tianqi turned around and strode towards Zhou Changan and Ximen Yuqing.
For Ximen Yuqing, Zhou Tianqi's mood is very complicated. He has been guarding against Ximen Yuqing in his heart, but he has to admit that Ximen Yuqing has indeed helped Lin Wan and helped him. Moreover, he inexplicably absolutely believed that Ximen Yuqing would not only not harm Lin Wan, but would also do everything in his power to protect Lin Wan.
Although Zhou Tianqi and Ximen Yuqing are on two opposite sides, they love Lin Wan at the same time, and for Lin Wan, they can't be friends, but they won't be enemies. Because they all know very well that if the two of them regard each other as enemies, or frame each other, it will be Lin Wan who will really hurt Lin Wan, the woman they love.
Lin Wan's attitude was very clear, so Zhou Tianqi's heart was also very sure. In addition to not liking Ximen Yuqing always pestering Lin Wan, in fact, he and Ximen Yuqing don't have much hatred, they just don't like each other.
At the door of Yulin Palace, Qi Zhen had been waiting for a long time. Early in the morning, knowing that Lin Wan had entered the palace, Concubine Yu had already begun to prepare, let the kitchen cook Lin Wan's favorite dishes, and waited for her to have lunch together.
Qizhen looked at Lin Wan with a smile, bent her knees, and said, "Lord Wanxin, you are finally here, the mother has been waiting for you for almost an hour, please go in with the slave." ā
Qingtong and Luliu followed the palace maid to the dining room where the servants had dinner, and Lin Wan followed Qizhen into the main hall of Yulin Palace.
In the hall, Concubine Yu was sitting at the table reading a book, and when she saw Lin Wan coming, she hurriedly got up and greeted her, took her little hand, looked at it carefully, and asked worriedly, "Wan'er, do your feet still hurt?"
Lin Wan smiled slightly, shook her head, and said, "Aunt Yu doesn't have to worry, Wan'er's feet don't hurt anymore." Moreover, with Xiaoqi's ointment, not even a scar will be left. ā
Concubine Yu smiled reassuringly and said, "That's good, come, come and sit, don't be tired." As he spoke, he pulled Lin Wan to the table and sat down, and asked with a smile: "You have been standing in Shouxi Palace for a long time, you must have been tired." ā
Lin Wan sat down and smiled obediently: "Aunt Yu, let you worry about me." I'm not tired, but my stomach is growling with hunger. I was declared to the palace as soon as I got up this morning, and I haven't had time to eat breakfast yet. ā
Concubine Yu covered her lips and smiled, and said distressedly: "Look at you! I was worried about eating, but I didn't see you grow meat, but it seemed that she had lost a lot of weight." ā
Lin Wan smiled and said, "Aunt Yu is too! The emperor said that Aunt Yu can't eat these days, and she can't sleep, and Wan'er has lost a lot of weight when she sees Aunt Yu!"
Concubine Yu sighed lightly and nodded, "Yes, I have been worried about you since you went to Shouxi Palace that day. Later, I heard that you were burned, and it was the eldest princess who took you back, and I was even more worried. Although I think that with the eldest princess here, no one will dare to embarrass you anymore. With Xiaoqi here, the burns will definitely be dealt with. However, in my heart, I always feel that it is not so simple. As a result, there was really another accident the next day, and even the emperor was invited to the eldest princess's mansion. ā
Lin Wan clenched Concubine Yu's hand and said reproachfully: "Aunt Yu, I'm worried about you, it's all Wan'er's fault." ā
Concubine Yu shook her head slightly, and continued: "That day, the emperor came back from the eldest princess's mansion very late, knowing that I was still worried, and made a special trip to ask Gonggong Qi to send me a letter, telling me not to worry, but I still didn't fall asleep that night." On the third day, the emperor brought the Seventh Prince back, and I knew that something had happened to Qi'er again. Alas, Qi'er, this kid is really a disaster!"
Lin Wan thought for a while, frowned and asked, "Aunt Yu, do you know what happened this morning? Why did the Queen Mother bump into Tianqi and Lu Manting together?"
Concubine Yu shook her head lightly and said, "I don't know very well. I only know that these days, Manting goes to the Yichen Palace every morning to take care of the Seven Princes, and does not return to the Shouxi Palace until before dinner. Yesterday, for some reason, I went to the Yichen Hall after dinner and didn't come back. The Queen Mother took the Golden Palm Palace to the Yichen Hall early this morning, before dawn, but happened to bump into Lu Manting running out of the Seventh Prince's bedroom. After a pause, seeing Lin Wan's unhappy expression, he couldn't help but persuade: "Wan'er, don't think about it, Qi'er won't ......"
Lin Wan smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "Aunt Yu, I didn't think much about it, Tianqi left the palace last night, was with me, and only returned to the palace this morning, he was framed by Lu Manting." ā
