After returning to the palace, Wan'er was often summoned by the princess, at first she thought that Webster was just changing tricks to embarrass her, but after a few times, Wan'er noticed that Webster's drunkard did not mean to drink.

This time, she even grabbed Wan'er's wrist and said earnestly: "Wan'er, Sister Wei, I'm old, look at the folds on this face, this trip back to the palace is all dependent on the empress's grace, I just want to do my duty, live a down-to-earth life, and protect my husband and children, but you also know that our family has been in Fangzhou for so many years, and there is no place for us to settle in the capital for a long time, just like in this palace, everyone looks very deferential, but how many really regard us as masters?" I don't know if I'm still thinking in my heart, these people from the countryside don't look like nobles in silk and satin...... It's nothing for me to be despised and neglected as a rural village woman, but my husband, he has the most authentic Tang Li bloodline flowing in his body, as well as my children, they are in the same lineage, this dignity is unquestionable, I want to defend them! ”

Wan'er understood that there was a kind of person with a lotus tongue, but his heart was like a snake and scorpion, so she was not in a hurry to open her heart: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, you are too worried!" The palace people respect your virtue and courage, and the slave believes that in the future, you will be able to enjoy the glory of the world! ”

Wei's eyes sank, but his words were still unhurried: "But after all, we have been away from the palace for too long, and we are too unfamiliar with the people and things here, so we have to rely on the Shangguan Sheren for everything, please help us regardless of your past suspicions." In the end, it was like a whispering pleading.

"Slaves and maids must do their best within the scope of their duties." Wan'er didn't want to say more to her, but this may not be polite, she has a special relationship with Li Xian, and she also loves Li Xian's children from the bottom of her heart, especially Xianhui and Chongrun.

Wei said faintly: "For the sake of the prince who has not forgotten you for so many years, he rushes to this affection between the old people, everything is in plain sight!" ”

Wan'er smiled, since everything is silent, why do you bother to say so many words?

Not long after Li Xian's return to the dynasty, the Wei king Wu Chenghei died of illness, and the contradictions between the Wu and Li families became more and more obvious, almost to the point of breaking out, but even in this situation, Wu Yanji and Li Chongrun, the young man, abandoned the power struggle and became friends who talked about everything - this is simply an incredible miracle, Wan'er saw hope from this miracle, and the empress Wu Cao also had a new idea.

In order to alleviate the contradiction between the Wu and Li families, the empress is ready to marry between the two families, but she is not an old man, and she doesn't know how to point this mandarin duck spectrum.

In the face of the empress's inquiry, Wan'er gave the answer after a little thought: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid thought that she could marry Princess Yongtai Xianhui to Wu Yanji, the king of Wei, and Princess Anle to Wu Chongxun, the second son of King Liang. ”

The empress suddenly said: "This is really suitable, these children have good appearances, good backgrounds, and are comparable in all aspects, what I am most afraid of in marriage is that the door is not right, Wan'er, what you said is really a match made in heaven!" The words could not hide the excitement.

Wan'er naturally didn't dare to take credit, from the perspective of others, the two pairs she pointed out were definitely talented and beautiful, but emotional matters are like fish drinking water, only the parties have the most right to speak, and they may not be compatible when they look like they match.

At this time, the empress suddenly sighed: "Among these many grandchildren, my favorite ones are Chongrun and Xianhui, I hope they don't let me down!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun and Princess Yongtai have extraordinary demeanor, which can be called a royal example, but after King Wei and King Gaoyang, they are also magnificent, and Your Majesty cannot be eccentric." Wan'er smiled, on the surface, it sounded uneven, but in fact she was appeasing the empress.

The empress was happy and nodded: "Of course, the sons of my martial arts family are also outstanding, and there are no mediocre people. The daughter of the Li family, the Langjun of the martial family, can be described as a perfect match and the icing on the cake! ”

Wan'er flattered: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

The empress sighed: "It's a pity that my Chongrun, in all fairness, there is no one worthy of Chongrun among the women of the Wu clan, even if I am selfish, I can't delay him!" Now that Chong Rungui is the grandson of the emperor, his family affairs need to be cautious and cautious, Wan'er will palm my eyes for me, pay more attention to the daughters of princes and nobles on weekdays, and have the outstanding character to observe more......"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, slaves and maids must pay attention." As soon as she finished speaking, Wan'er suddenly remembered that she had seen Wu Yunchu in King Liang's mansion, and the bright girl was not inferior to Li Xianhui and Li Bao'er.

Just as he was about to speak, he faintly felt that it was not appropriate, so he put this idea aside, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty's favor for His Royal Highness is really extreme!" ”

The empress put on a natural expression: "Chongrun is so good, I don't spoil him and spoil anyone!" ”

Through the curtain, the conversation between Wu Cao and Wan'er was clearly heard by the Zhang brothers, and the two looked at each other tacitly.

The marriage of Wu and Li is a foregone conclusion, Wan'er took the opportunity to meet Princess Yongtai, and euphemistically hinted at her marriage with Wu Yanji, Li Xianhui looked shy, and didn't say much, just repeatedly emphasized that everything depends on her parents and the empress, Wan'er read the hidden joy from her ambiguous attitude, and sure enough, Li Xianhui and Wu Yanji were afraid that they had already had a good idea, so they breathed a sigh of relief and finally did a beautiful thing for adults.

Thinking that she should also go to Princess Anle to take a breath and touch her attitude, so Wan'er got up and said goodbye, and when she was about to leave, Princess Yongtai's maid led a woman in, this woman has a beautiful figure and a dignified appearance, although it is not a city and a country, but it is very comfortable to watch, this non-aggressive beauty is very contagious, Wan'er can't help but look at it again.

"Pei Jin, you came just in time, didn't you always say that you wanted to meet the Neisheren? This is it. Li Xianhui saw her, was in a bright mood, and beckoned.

The woman bowed to the princess, and hurriedly bowed to Wan'er again, and said calmly: "Pei Jin has seen the Neishe people!" I have admired the name of the Nesha people for a long time! ”

Wan'er returned the salute and asked, "It's the first time I've met Miss Pei today, why haven't I seen it in the palace before?" ”

Li Xianhui's soft voice came: "Neisheren, she is the escort that my mother just chose for me recently, and she is the daughter of Pei Cui, the eunuch of the country." ”

"It turned out to be Pei Fu's daughter." Wan'er responded, her eyes still focused on Pei Jin, "Miss Pei is the eldest daughter in the family?" ”

Pei Jin smiled slightly: "There is a brother and a sister, both of whom are compatriots of the same mother." ”

She understood the true intention of Wan'er's question, so she answered in a clever way.

Wan'er saw that she was smart, and her favor was a little more, since she was the daughter of her grandmother, she might as well ask if she was married.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, Miss Pei has a marriage contract?"

Pei Jin was slightly stunned, and suppressed the panic that flashed in his eyes, "There are many people who propose marriage, but my parents have not allowed it." ”

"Master Pei has a very high heart, he must want to ask for a good marriage for Miss, there is no need to be in a hurry in everything, a talent like Miss deserves the best." Wan'er's smile seemed to have a deep meaning.

Li Xianhui smiled: "That's what I told Miss Pei about." ”

Pei Jin was a little embarrassed: "Oh, I seem to hate marrying very much!" ”

Everyone in the room laughed.

Wan'er saw the woman's eyebrows and eyes in front of her, and sighed that today's line was really a big receipt, her eyes swept at random, and saw Pei Jin wearing a piece of jade pendant around her waist, mutton fat white jade, but it was hidden in the pleats of the lower skirt, and she couldn't see the specific details, but the luster of the jade alone was enough to explain its quality.

Several people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Wan'er left Li Xianhui's residence and went to the Zuixia Pavilion where Princess Anle Li Bao'er lived.

Li Bao'er has always been arrogant, but now as a princess, she doesn't take people seriously, and when she saw Wan'er at this time, she yawned lazily and said: "It's not the right time for the Neishe people to come, this princess is tired, and she wants to rest for a while." ”

Wan'er smiled and smiled: "Is this little princess taking a nap or a nap?" But not feeling well? ”

An Le snorted and smiled yin: "Are you cursing me?" ”

"Don't dare, the slave just cares about the princess, after all, the joy is imminent, please take care of the princess."

"What big joy?!" An Le was a little irritable, and a deep flush appeared on her snow-white skin, not shy, but annoyed. She had already gotten some hints about her marriage from her mother, Wei, but she had seen all the Wu children in the capital, and she didn't like any of them, but her mother asked her to choose from the Wu surname, and the mother and daughter broke up several times because of this.

"I don't know where happiness comes, of course, for the Neishe people, it is indeed a happy event to be able to marry openly, but I am different from you lonely people in the deep palace, I am qualified and able to choose the life and people I want." An Le said unashamedly.

Wan'er has heard a lot more ugly words than this, so she naturally doesn't care, "Princess, the marriage of Wu Li is not a matter of a single person, this is the holy decree of the empress, to put it bluntly, personal wishes are not the most important." If the princess insists on being impulsive and willful, I am afraid that the loss will be the glory of the entire family, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only returned to Beijing not long ago, and no one wants to see such a situation. However, if the princess already has someone in her interest, she might as well say it, and the slave is willing to mediate for the princess. ”

The corners of An Le's mouth twitched, she understood all the truth, but she was unwilling to be manipulated, she shook her head dejectedly: "This princess doesn't have a crush on anyone, she's just dissatisfied." ”

"His Royal Highness King Gaoyang is a young talent, the princess might as well try to contact it." Wan'er didn't want to make it difficult for others, so she had to kindly remind her.

"Sure enough, it's Wu Chongxun!" An Le smiled coldly, with a sneer, "I knew you would choose him for me!" Do we look very compatible? You make small thoughts in the queen's ear all day long, and you also have the credit for this, right? The Neishe people themselves have a bumpy love road, are they particularly happy to see others not getting along? ”

Wan'er was a villain in vain, and she couldn't please her, but she was beaten upside down: "The princess is calm and don't be impatient, calm down and think about it, if there is a better way at present, will the empress personally inquire and worry about the junior's marriage?" The princess is still young, is the crown prince and the princess so urgent? Since she has the status of a royal princess, there will naturally be some sacrifices. ”

"Don't always use the imperial grandmother to press me." An Le is still tough on her lips, but she is not stupid, and she also believes in the supremacy of interests.

Her attitude softened a little, but she was still unreasonable: "It's not impossible if you want me to marry Wu Chongxun, but since the Neisheren wants to get this persuasion, he will have to be sent by me to do a big thing for me one day!" He hooked his eyes and said with a smile, "But I don't know what this matter will be in my heart now, and I don't know what it will be. ”

Although Wan'er didn't want to be coerced, she thought that she should deal with it first, if An Le didn't know what kind of turmoil would happen, it would affect the overall situation of the Wu and Li families.

"Okay, then we'll make up our minds, and that's it. In fact, the princess might as well think about your aunt Taiping, all these years, she has gotten along with the colt. Wan'er retracted her words at the right time.

An Le understood that this was the point, and showed slight disdain, "I still have a lot to learn, and if it's good, I will learn it all." ”
