Chapter 12: The New Year's Banquet (Part II)

King Chun remembered that the master of enlightenment said that Wen Wan's karma was not smooth, and there were constant twists and turns. Looking at the current gentleness again, I sighed secretly in my heart, how could such an amazing woman not have enough courage to suppress her. Regarding the matter of Wen Wan and his son, King Chun is a thousand and ten thousand opposed. Watching his son linger since Wen Wan left. And Wen Wan seemed to be nothing, seeing that his son could still be calm ♀, which made him wonder if Wen Wan really liked his son. Again, it's just pure exploitation.

Of course, King Chun knew that Wen Wan might have affection for her son, but this affection was not deep enough. At least not as deep as his son. For the sake of his son's future and his son's safety, he must not agree to this marriage. No matter how hard Wen Wan tried, he wouldn't agree.

Wen Wan arrived at Zhuna, and saw four people sitting on it. In the space where she came down, another seat was vacated next to her. Wen Wan walked forward, and there was still no expression on her face.

"Sit down" I can't figure out what my father means ♀ to invite courtiers, although it is a New Year's banquet, you can also bring your family. But everyone was very tacit and did not bring their families. There are only Concubine Xian and Concubine De and some other concubines. But the father arrested Wen Wan. also made her appear in front of the important ministers of the clan in such a grand way. As if to tell everyone that Wen Wan was cured of her illness and returned to Beijing.

Wen Wan listened, but she didn't shirk it, and sat in the middle of Zhu and Qi Yan's eldest cousin.

Qi Yan remembered the first time she took Wen Wan into this Wende Palace, Wen Wan didn't understand anything, she kept asking, and later she even forgot to take a gift. Of course, afterwards, Qi Yan was very suspicious that Wen Wan deliberately forgot to take the gift, and wanted to give her own gift ♀ to meet Wen Wan, the childishness on her face was long gone, and she had already changed drastically from the little girl four years ago. Not everyone has this kind of bearing. At least Qi Yan knew that the two royal sisters in the palace would never have this kind of bearing.

Wen Wan sat for two minutes, and saw that all the people around her were all in order, and she naturally wouldn't be that special person. It is also a sitting with eyes on the throne.

The emperor said a few words as an opening statement. After a while, the eunuch shouted: "Open the banquet, sing and dance to serve the imperial wine"

Wen Wan glanced at the emperor, and then at the eye, and saw that he didn't know who he was looking at. I had to ask the eldest cousin next to me. Qi Yan actually has two teenagers by his side, the fifth cousin and the sixth cousin he saw before. However, except for the eldest cousin, she is not familiar with anything else. Just last time, it was a real meeting. Of course, Wen Wan is a little interesting to a few cousins, just the third cousin, the little cousin, is more cute. It's a pity, because Wen Wan has her own abacus and taboos, she doesn't plan to have too much contact with any cousins.

Wen Wan wrote in Qi Yan's hand: "How can there be singing and dancing? Why didn't you last time you came? ”

Qi Yan couldn't help but smile when he saw her question. It seems that five years have passed, and the nature of Wen Wan has not changed. At the banquet, I like to ask questions, "Today is a banquet, banquet courtiers, naturally there must be singing and dancing to cheer up∠ The time is the birthday of the emperor's grandfather, everyone is here, the time is too tight, there will be no singing and dancing." ”

Wen Wan nodded ♀ and saw that the palace maids standing in the corner of the hall came forward to pour wine for everyone, Wen Wan smelled the aroma of the wine, and knew that this was the imperial wine, and saw Zhu Zhu, who had always regarded himself as a sculpture, turned his head and said, "Qi Yan, I will be optimistic about your cousin ☆ Give her one more drink, don't let her drink more." Then he turned back to him, as if it was not him who had just spoken.

Wen Wan listened with a mouth cocked, what, she only drinks two small cups at night on weekdays, and she must guard against her like a thief °C Yes, careful uncle, bad uncle.

Qi Yan looked at the gentle and dissatisfied expression, which was like the expression that a child should have. However, the interaction between Wen Wan and her father is still very gratifying ♀ to prove that the relationship between her father and her cousin is still as close as father and daughter. didn't get into trouble because of what happened before.

When the emperor raised his glass, the royal dignates and the ministers of civil and military affairs also raised their glasses one after another. The first imperial wine was raised, and the sheng, flute, and flute were played first, and then the music rang out in unison.

After the music sounded, dozens of dancing girls poured out from both sides of the temple corner, each dressed like a fairy, dancing gracefully to the moving melody.

Wen Wan looked forward, all of them were fifteen or sixteen years old, it was the age of young age∫ all of them were beautiful. Ahem, how did she find out that there are beauties everywhere here, but she is not

Zhu turned his head and found that Wen Wan was in a daze, and her face was not very good. Asking, "What's wrong?" Is it not unwell. If you don't feel well, you leave early. ”

Wen Wan pursed her lips and wrote in her hand: "Why are everyone beauties, but I look mediocre." I don't know if I'll be a beauty when I grow up, or if I can't find it by throwing it in the pile. ”

Zhu felt that Wen Wan wrote, and was very annoyed, and stared at Wen Wan with hatred. Seeing that Wen Wan didn't seem to know what was wrong, she lowered her head and sternly warned, "Ridiculous, how can the phoenix soaring in the nine heavens be willing to compare with Yunni." Don't say anything like that again. There will be a next time. Ten times the female ring was copied. ”

Wen Wan puffed out her gills, bowed her head and stopped talking. That's very wronged.

Looking at her like that, the more angry she became, the more dignified the lord of the royal county actually bent down to compare himself with the singer. If you want to be known, you have to be despised and made a joke. I don't know what ♀ King Chun taught for a year, but he didn't learn anything. Or did this girl become stupid as soon as she returned to the palace" Wen Wan, did you hear her uncle's words. ”

Wen Wan smiled when she saw Zhu's angry look. She did it on purpose just now, seeing that her uncle always looked expressionless, she played a prank, and she wanted to make Uncle Zhu ruined. I didn't expect it to be really broken.

Looking at the gentle and smug smile, there was even a happy smile in his eyes. Write a line on his hand. If it weren't for the banquet, it is estimated that Wen Wan would not have escaped this punishment.

Wen Wan looked at her uncle's expression and smiled. What she just wrote: Uncle don't always keep a straight face, just like others owe you a lot of money. Smile more, smile more, ten years less.

Looking at the gentle and cunning appearance, when she understood the meaning of what she wrote gently, her unsmiling face also showed an angry look ♀ of a girl, who had been playing outside for a year, and she had really become a crazy girl. Nothing big or small. Although the face is more severe, but in the heart, it is still very useful.

Wen Wan stared at him, her eyes full of warnings. Wen Wan thought that Zhu was saying, I will settle accounts with you later. So he raised his head. She is not afraid, when the banquet is over, she will go back to her grandfather, and her uncle can't help her. Anyway, the emperor's grandfather loves her the most, and he will definitely protect her.

Looking at the gentle expression, she naturally knew what she was thinking, "You stay honest for me." Otherwise, ten times the female ring. Don't think that your father will support you, so you have no scruples. ”

Wen Wan naturally knew that if Uncle Zhu really planned to punish him, he probably wouldn't be able to escape. The emperor's grandfather probably didn't stop it. Therefore, after Wen Wan, she was very well-behaved and didn't speak again.

Qi Yan looked at the interaction between the two, lowered his head and smiled at Qi Huo outside No, but his eyes flashed. Qi Feng, but he felt that this cousin was as bold as the sky.

Wen Wan really didn't know that the interaction between their uncle and nephew had long been seen in the hearts of the people who paid close attention here∧ and they didn't know how many turns they had turned.

Soon, food came up. Everyone else uses the same plates. Only the food sent to Wen Wan was on a different plate. It was a crystal plate, which was better ♀ than all the people present, and it was specially given to her. Everyone didn't have any idea about it, after all, Wen Wan was sick. There are a lot of things to be taboo about. But there is one person whose heart is full of resentment.

Wen Wan naturally felt a gaze full of unkindness staring at her. Looking along the senses, seeing Siyue looked at herself as if she was looking at an enemy.

Wen Wan glanced back, then lowered her head, and continued to eat ♀ People are stupid or stupid, what does it look like in public. I don't know if Siyue is going back more and more as she gets older. And Wen Wan didn't take Siyue's anger to heart at all. Just eat with your head down.

Wen Wan ate the contents of the plate, and she found that the contents of her loss ♀ were much better than the last time. It's a pity that I've eaten six points full now, cough, it seems that I have to inquire about the news in advance in the future, and I will have to make trouble again. Because it is full, it will eat, like a bird pecking.

It's too boring, and Wen Wan occasionally looks around. The emperor's grandfather watched the dance with relish, and the ministers in the audience were also watching the dance attentively.

Wen Wan felt bored, but boredom had to be next to her. From time to time, he pulled his eldest cousin and asked Qi Yan a lot of questions. Qi Yan explained to her very patiently, and did not show impatience at all, and nodded slightly. Although the eldest cousin lacks courage, he has a very good temperament.

And the fifth master Qi Huo and the sixth master Qi Feng next to him occasionally interjected a few words. But the happy people originally wanted to say more, but seeing Wen Wan's unfamiliar attitude towards them, Qi Hu wanted to stop talking. Qi Feng was a little surprised. But fortunately, everyone is also affectionate, and there is not much of a problem.

Wen Wan was in the middle, and secretly glanced at Yan Qixuan. Wen Wan watched the guy dozing off secretly, snickering, and this is what this guy can do. I am not afraid that my grandfather will treat him as a great disrespectful sin.

Yan Qixuan felt that someone was looking at him, and he was a little annoyed, so he turned his head and saw that it was Wen Wan looking at him. Wen Wan has a life-saving grace for him, and he is not good.

Wen Wan saw that he found that he was looking at him, and she didn't dodge, and showed a smile at Yan Qixuan. That smile is as bright as a flower.

Yan Qixuan looked at Wen Wan with a bright smile at her, and for some reason, her heart fluttered and jumped. Quickly lowered his head. Don't dare to look at Wen Wan again.

Wen Wan watched Yan Qixuan's movements and couldn't help laughing.

King Chun felt that his son was moving a little strangely, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”

Yan Qixuan felt his strange feeling just now, and he was very angry in his heart. Unexpectedly, Wen Wan dared to tease him in public, it was really hateful. But although he was angry in his heart, he was afraid that Wen Wan was his savior. didn't say anything that Wen Wan wanted to tease him, and he couldn't ask if he said it again. After all, they didn't do anything. However, he turned around and asked another question, asking King Chun, "Father, I heard someone say before that the gentle county lord, some famous people, and people who have come into contact with him, can be subjugated by him, father, is what you said true?" "He said that there are some fames, not demons, and he is already merciful.

When King Chun heard this, he moved the corners of his mouth, "There is nothing to do." It's just smarter, don't listen to the nonsense of people outside. ”

Yan Qixuan looked at his father and shook his head, "I also know that this is a bit false. But the gentle county lord has been sick in Zhuangzi for a year, and he can still be so favored by the emperor. I can't help but admire. The subtext of this is that Wen Wan is very powerful∴ although Qi Xuan is not a director, he is also a veritable gentleman. But that doesn't mean he's stupid. Besides, Luo Shouxun always praised Wen Wan, the county lord, who was smart or something, and after hearing too much, Yan Qixuan also felt disgusted ♀ in his heart, like a woman who is extremely deep in the city and good at calculation, she must be three feet away from her.

King Chun smiled kindly, "You don't need to admire." It's just a girl's house, not a man. It's not good for a woman who is too smart, but it's better for you to stay away. "Since you can't persuade Wen Wan, you can only persuade your son. And the key point of persuading his son is to keep his son away from Wen Wan. The talent of men is outstanding, and it will be the pillar of the court's talent, and if he really becomes the emperor in the future, it will only make all men far away. Even if it is a prince, if he has other plans, he will definitely not marry such a town house Tai Sui and go home. Therefore, what the Enlightened Master said about the marriage was not going well, it must be true. It's just that the Master of Enlightenment said that her marriage would be happy, and I really don't know what kind of character she will be able to marry Wen Wan home in the future. And they have to be able to lower her, and the two of them live a stable life. Of course, King Chun didn't know who it was, but King Chun knew very well that this person would definitely not be his son.

Yan Qixuan listened and nodded, "Father is right." "If a woman is too smart and strong, she will have a strong desire to ♀ control a woman, and he will never marry home.

After Wen Wan left, Princess Chun instilled with Yan Qixuan the idea of marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person. If you are too smart, too strong, and too controlled, if you marry back in the future, you will definitely make the palace not harmonious, and the chickens will fly and the dogs will jump. If the identity is more valuable, with the support of his mother's family in the future, it will be even more unpeaceful. Princess Chun told Yan Qixuan that she and King Chun still wanted to tease their grandson when they were old and live a peaceful old age, but they didn't want to make trouble ♀ in the mansion, so they almost famously said that they would definitely not marry a woman like Wen Wan.

And Yan Qixuan heard a lot, and naturally had a sense of vigilance in his heart. Therefore, the first thing Yan Qixuan wants to put an end to is to marry a woman who is shrewd and powerful, and has a noble status. If he really marries such a woman and comes back, he will definitely not have the final say in the future family affairs. Marry someone who is obedient and easy to handle, so that he will not have resistance when he is with Fuxi in the future, and he is not afraid of being restrained.

Wen Wan didn't know the interaction between Yan Qixuan and King Chun, let alone what Yan Qixuan thought. You know, absolutely fainting.

She will focus on King Zhao's sons. Looking at King Zhao's three sons, the younger two Wen Wan felt that there was nothing outstanding. But the eldest one, with a warm face and sharp eyes. Wen Wan hadn't heard much about it before, this person had no external reputation, but now that she looks at it, she must be a hidden one.

It seems that I heard that I have been helping King Zhao deal with things ♀ for a few months, and Wen Wan heard several gossips about this person, and they all said that they were very good, very powerful. Although King Zhao has a high voice to the outside world, in fact, King Zhao still has a hidden worry. That is, his sister-in-law is very young, only six years old, five years younger than Wen Wan. And the health is also very poor, whether it can survive to adulthood is still unknown. At this time, this eldest son seems to have been born. You must know that Zhao Wangfu has not established a prince ♀ until now, which is a huge hidden danger. Wen Wan heard that the palace of King Zhao was much more lively than that of the mansion.

And King Zhao looked at the gentle movements and pinched the cup in his hand vigorously. Unexpectedly, this girl actually hit the idea into King Chun's mansion. If the eighth has the support of the Chun Wangfu, then the power of the eighth will rise.

And King Zhao's eldest son, Qi Qian. found that Wen Wan was looking at him carefully, and showed an unsatisfactory smile at Wen Wan.

Wen Wan saw him respond to herself, and also replied with a bright smile, "Quickly turned around, took a piece of pastry, and slowly ate ♀ a young man, looking at the appearance of releasing kindness to herself. However, Wen Wan felt that she was a cold ♀ person, and her reputation was not obvious for so many years in Princess Zhao and King Zhao's mansion. As soon as he arrived in the capital, he showed his head and feet in front of everyone. Must be a not simple person.

Wen Wan found that she couldn't do more than any one of them. I never looked up again.

According to the rules in the palace, fireworks will be set off on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve. Every year on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the Lantern Festival, there will be fireworks. This year is no exception.

The emperor took a group of ministers out of the Wende Palace, and the fireworks of thousands of trees outside rose into the sky, like bright stars blooming in the vast night sky, illuminating half of the sky, as if even the moonlight was afraid to compete with it.

Maybe it's amazing for today's people, but Wen Wan has seen too much and is not amazing. In modern times, she has seen all kinds of colorful and dazzling patterns. For these, she is naturally not much surprised. It's just that she still empathizes with the lively festival.

The banquet was over, and Wen Wan stretched out her hands to look at it. Except for Qi Yan, the other two princes looked at Wen Wan and their father strangely.

"You girl." Looking at the gentle movements, he smiled and took out a sealed red envelope from his sleeve, looking like it was not lightweight.

Wen Wan took it, happy hehe.

"Cousin, this is the New Year's money I gave you." Qi Yan is used to it, and he has given his cousin New Year's money every year in the past few years. Wen Wan never blushed and took it. My cousin gave himself a red envelope, and it was only natural to take it.

"This is a gift from my cousin, and my cousin likes it." Qi Huo also gave gifts.

Qi Feng also took the gift and handed it to Wen Wan.

Wen Wan smiled and waved her hand, but didn't answer. Instead, he took out a red envelope from his sleeve and came out, "Sixth prince, the county lord said that she is older than you, she is an older sister, and she should be a gift to you." How can you ask for a gift from your cousin, this is a red envelope she gave you, please take it. ”

Qi Feng blushed at the moment, unwilling to accept it. Everyone sent red envelopes, but he couldn't send them out himself, but he gave them to himself ♀ to take them, and when he returned to the palace, he would definitely be laughed at. He was only a few months younger than Wen Wan, and he accepted red envelopes, which was really depressed for a ♀ cousin, not cute at all. He still thinks his cousin is cute

Wen Wan returned to the place where she was staying. Pick up the heavy red envelope that you have been given. When I opened it, it wasn't silver, it wasn't a silver ticket. Nor is it a precious gem or anything. Rather, it was nine copper coins of the same size, strung together with red threads. Wen Wan asked Xia Ying strangely, does this have any special meaning?

Uncle gave such a thing, it must have a special meaning. It's just that Wen Wan really doesn't know. However, Xia Shadow must know it.

Xia Ying looked at the nine same strings of money and said with a smile, "This is a custom in Yizhou. The nine copper coins in the bag are for peace and security, and the meaning of longevity. Wen Wan thought about it, solemnly put it in the box, and kept it.

Looking at it gently, it is still necessary to wear festive clothes for the New Year. It's also a pleasure to watch.

So on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Ying wore a red palace dress for Wen Wan, embroidered with a phoenix wearing a peony pattern, holding a double snail bun, a butterfly bead flower inserted in the bun, a dragon and phoenix bracelet on her hand, and a yellow and clear red gold collar around her neck.

After getting it done, just after dawn, Wen Wan ran to greet the emperor and kowtowed to the emperor three times. As soon as I finished kowtowing, I heard someone outside reply that the county lord of Siyue was here.

The emperor smiled and let him in, and then looked at Wen Wan's rich doll's outfit, and laughed, "Come, this is the red envelope that your grandfather gave you." Today I'm a year older, and I'm going to be more sensible. ”

Wen Wan said that she was already very sensible and would be more sensible in the future. I won't let my grandfather and uncle worry about ♀ it, and I got a big red envelope from the emperor at the beginning of the day.

Siyue is also dressed up. Wen Wan looked at her and said hello. gave full play to her characteristics of accumulating wealth, went to several main halls, and greeted several main palace maidens. No matter which palace concubine it is, when she sees her, she naturally has to stuff red envelopes. In view of Wen Wan's favor, everyone's red envelopes are thick, and Wen Wan's pockets are full of ‖ to win. came back and showed off to the emperor with red envelopes, and the emperor looked at the gentle and wealthy appearance, and laughed.

Gonggong Wen watched the county lord Wen Wan give full play to her expertise again, and couldn't help but smile∫ good that he already knew the county lord very well. Otherwise, looking at this look, there will be thoughts that have been rumored before. Because of Wen Wan's appearance at this time, she is really a money fan.

Author's note: This chapter is a combination of two more, which is the addition of pink 720 and 780. From yesterday until now, the gentle pink vote has been hovering between third and fourth. According to my initial thoughts, not to mention the third and fourth, even to be in the top ten, I think it's amazing. So my initial goal was to be in the top 10 of the monthly pass. But everyone's support made Wen Wan's results far beyond my expectations. I didn't even think that I would be in the top four.

At first, I didn't think it was true. Because of such good results, for me, it was like a dream.

I am very touched by your support and full of motivation. From the time before yesterday to the train, I have never left the computer except for sleeping. Not for anything else, just to thank you for your support of me. So far, I've made four changes today. If there are no other problems, there should be four more.

I have done my best, and everyone can fully support me ♀ for 11 hours a month, so that everyone can vote for me in their pink votes, so that I can finally enter the top three of the monthly ticket. I have turned a dream that I never thought of before into a reality, thank you.
