Chapter 031: Huo Chuan's Mind
Empress Shen couldn't help but re-examine the eldest daughter in front of her.
That's okay, today's Emperor Jin Yuan is no longer the same person he used to be, if Xie Wan has been arrogant and naΓ―ve, I'm afraid that there may not be a good ending in the end.
Moreover, after what happened in the past few days, Empress Shen can be regarded as having seen it clearly, the emperor's favor is really shallow and impermanent, and in the end, in this deep palace, only children can rely on her.
Empress Shen understood this, so she no longer talked to Xie Wan about those twists and turns, but said bluntly: "Your father and emperor had the heart to marry you to Xiao Yunhai before. β
Xie Wan had already understood this, and after hearing this, she didn't have any expression, but nodded flatly: "Erchen knows." β
When Empress Shen heard this, she immediately thought a little more highly of Xie Wan's intelligence.
She continued: "It's just that as soon as the assassination comes out, I guess your father will not have such an idea again." But you are not the only princess of the Jin Kingdom, since your father is determined to recruit Xiao Yunhai as a concubine, he will definitely choose one of the other princesses. β
Hearing this, Xie Wan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Could it be that in the previous life, her father and emperor ordered her to supervise the country because Xiao Yunhai was her concubine?
This idea should have been funny and absurd, but the father was able to ban his mother's feet for Xiao Yunhai, knowing that he would bring bad Heng'er but still indulged in it, and punished himself with a cane, no matter how ridiculous the idea was, there was a possibility that it would become a fact.
Xie Wan lowered her eyes: "The queen mother is worried, my father loves the house and Wu, and he is especially fond of Xiao Yunhaishang's princess?" β
"As for the cane punishment, you and your father have no possibility of getting along like before, and besides, you will soon leave the palace to build a mansion, and it doesn't matter if you are favored or not."
Empress Shen looked at her and said, "Heng'er is still young, and now your father intends to isolate our mother and daughter from Heng'er, I'm afraid that in the future, Heng'er may not be so close to you." It's not so much that the queen mother is worried that you won't be favored, but that the queen mother is worried that you have no one to rely on in the future. β
Xie Wan understood what she meant.
Because she is now strictly forbidden to participate in the affairs of the East Palace, Xie Heng may not be able to rely on her when she grows up, and she seems to have offended Xiao Yunhai and Emperor Jin Yuan, even if Emperor Jin Yuan will not really treat her well, but if she wants to live freely in the future, she must have someone to rely on.
And this person, the best one is Huo Chuan, who has a relationship with her at this moment.
Xie Wan was a little repulsed, after all, for her, this was no different from using Huo Chuan.
What's more, Queen Shen was thinking about Xie Wan in and out of her words, but she never thought about herself and Xie Heng.
Xie Wan was inconvenient to refute Empress Shen's kindness in person, so she lowered her eyes slightly and asked, "What did Mrs. Sima say about her mother?" β
Hearing this, Empress Shen looked at Xie Wan and smiled.
She smiled lovingly, and even had a hint of ridicule: "As soon as Mrs. Da Sima heard that you played a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" to Huo Chuan at the city gate, she was so happy that she didn't even find out whether it was true or false, so she hurriedly came to the palace and asked when the palace would be able to finalize the marriage. β
When Xie Wan heard this, her face showed a trace of embarrassment: "Mrs. Sima is well-intentioned, but Erchen and Senior Brother are not ......."
"Don't rush to a conclusion first, listen to the queen mother's words."
Empress Shen patted her hands, and continued: "The queen mother, like you, also advises Mrs. Sima, things may not be as rumored outside, maybe you and Huo Chuan have no love between men and women." But Mrs. Da Sima shook her head again and again, and said that although she was not Huo Chuan's biological mother, Huo Chuan was brought up by her, the so-called Zhizi Mo Ruomu, she swore that Huo Chuan had put you on the tip of her heart since she was a child. β
Above the top of the heart......
Xie Wan's ears turned red: "Mrs. Sima may have misunderstood." β
Empress Shen smiled and nodded: "The queen mother also thinks like you, she always feels that she has no evidence, maybe she misunderstood her son's intentions, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Sima came prepared, she brought a painting, which was made by Huo Chuan herself." β
Speaking of this, she looked at Xie Wan with a smile: "Wan'er, do you know, what is that painting about?" β
Xie Wan had a faint premonition in her heart, she blinked, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and bowed her head and said, "Erchen doesn't know." β
Empress Shen looked at her and smiled with her blushing appearance: "The queen mother has already brought the painting over, you can take a look at it yourself." β
After laughing, she said with a straight face: "Don't say that the queen mother didn't remind you, although Huo Chuan is a concubine, his character and temperament are all good, and the Great Sima Mansion is also an excellent reliance, since your father sent Huo Chuan to fight against the Emperor, he obviously doesn't want him to be involved with you, if you are interested, why don't you make a decision as soon as possible, and when Huo Chuan comes back, he will get married, so as not to cause another incident." β
What Queen Shen said was true, and her worries were not unreasonable.
Today's Emperor Jin Yuan can no longer be viewed with common sense, he can send Huo Chuan to fight for Xiao Yunhai's safety, and he can also sabotage Xie Wan's marriage with Huo Chuan for Xiao Yunhai.
If there is a marriage.
Xie Wan nodded: "The queen mother taught her sons to remember, and the sons will definitely think about this matter." β
Hearing her say this, Empress Shen relieved herself, finished her meal with her, and watched the doctor treat Xie Wan's injuries and apply medicine before leaving.
As soon as Empress Shen left, Xie Wan asked Begonia to bring in the paintings brought by Empress Shen.
Thinking of the meaning of Empress Shen's words, Xie Wanping retreated, leaving only Begonia by her side, and then slowly opened the picture scroll.
The scroll was a few years old, and the paper was yellow, and the corners were a little frizzy, apparently due to the fact that it was often flipped.
The scroll slowly unfolded in front of her, and the first thing that caught her eye were the two palace buns, which were her favorite buns when she was a child.
Immediately followed by a childish face with a bright smile, a girl dressed in a strong suit, smiling skillfully.
Although the painting is immature, it shows the innocent demeanor of the girl in the painting vividly.
Begonia on the side was surprised: "Isn't this the princess when she was a child?" The slave maid still remembered that the princess loved to comb this palace bun when she was young, and this dress was also specially made by the princess in order to practice martial arts. β
Xie Wan didn't speak, just looked at the girl in the painting quietly, as if she was in a trance.
The beach looked at the pictures in front of him, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
After half a sound, she couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, according to the slave maid, Huo Lang will be very good." β
Xie Wan didn't squeak, her heart was very conflicted at the moment.
Huo Chuan is a dull character, what he thinks, she has no way of knowing, even if there is what the queen mother said, and the painting in her hand, she still doesn't dare to confirm it.
However, what if......
If what they said was true, then how dull she was in her previous life, she couldn't see his deep affection for her, and stupidly regarded him as a loyal courtier, relying on him while being involved with Xiao Yunhai.
And how did he face himself with a restrained and forbearant state of mind, allowing her to hurt his heart into a thousand holes, but in the end he still died for her, even if he still stood in the end, just to be able to block a sword for her......
She suddenly understood that in her past and present lives, he was willing to go to the soup for her and never ask a word.
