After Wan Ning returned to the palace, it was already afternoon, and Xiao Wenjing happened to be in Yunyan Pavilion. But Wan Ning thought about it, and she should still ask Father-in-law Zhang in person. It is precisely because of Father-in-law Zhang's noble status that such an important matter should be told to him in person.

And since entering the palace, I haven't seen Grandpa Zhang a few times, so it seems too hasty to just ask Xiao Wenjing to convey it.

was supposed to come to the door in person, but he couldn't run around in the palace as a maid, and he might even run in front of the emperor.

So, Wan Ning troubled Xiao Wenjing to send a message to Grandpa Zhang, whether she could find a reason to come to Yunyan Pavilion in person.

If Father-in-law Zhang really can't come, it's not too late to ask Xiao Wenjing to convey it at that time.

From the day Wanning lived in the side hall to that day, everyone guessed that as long as the emperor remembered it, it was possible to go to Wanning.

Sure enough, before Wanning saw Gonggong Zhang, the emperor had already come to Wanning's palace several times. After seeing Zhou Cairen, the emperor went to Wanning Palace to sit down.

Fortunately, Zhou Cairen is still very favored, and the emperor cares about the feelings of talented people, and will always take a look at Zhou Cairen first, and will not go directly to the side hall.

However, it was all about Li Zhenghang's case, and he didn't say anything else. When she went, Wan Ning was often reading and writing, and in order to find something to talk about, she would also discuss it.

Wanning disclosed to the emperor many details of the discovery of Liangzhou twice, and even told the emperor some customs and customs, what she saw and heard on the road. This also triggered Wanning's thoughts about her father, and unconsciously said that in her impression, her father had to do his best for the court.

The more times they came, the more familiar they became, and they would drink tea and chat without pressure, and they would also play chess.

On this day, the emperor only stayed at Zhou Cairen's place for a while, and then came to Wanning, as if he was quite interested, saying that he came to play chess with Wanning.

Wan Ning said bluntly: "The slave's chess skills are too poor to be on the table." There are a few ladies in the palace who are skilled in chess, why doesn't the emperor look for them to play? ”

"What's the fun of going with them! You are unruly, you don't deliberately let me play chess, and it's a little fun. But don't I know your chess skills? Obviously, I can't see a few steps away, and I play a horizontal trick from time to time, which is very powerful. If I hadn't let you, your chess skills wouldn't have lasted long. ”

When it came to chess skills, Wan Ning was a little ashamed, bowed her head slightly, and said: "I can't blame them either, who made you the emperor!" Playing against you, I am obviously superb in chess, but I deliberately lose to you, showing a vulnerable appearance. ”

Wan Ning was talking, but the emperor had already set up the chess pieces. His silent order, Wan Ning did not dare to disobey.

Speaking of playing chess, Wanning was taught by her father and husband, and then Brother Ziang played with her, and at the moment the emperor was sitting opposite.

Whenever the emperor gave up chess, the scenes of playing chess with Brother Ziang in the past seemed to be right in front of him, and he always let himself at that time, and those memories were fresh for a long time.

Wan Ning's face often showed some inexplicable smiles.

Naturally, the emperor asked: "Li Wanning, your chess skills make you so happy?" ”

"The slave was given chess by the emperor, so she was naturally happy." In fact, Wan Ning is not happy, in this world, only Brother Ziang can let her play.

The emperor inadvertently saw Wanning writing the words "Tranquility Zhiyuan" on the table. "You are bent on making decisions for your father, and your heart is full of hatred, and you are still quiet?"

Wan Ning followed the emperor's gaze: "Tranquility Zhiyuan first came out of the book "Huainanzi" by Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty, what he said was indifferent to Mingde. Later, this sentence was also used in Zhuge Liang's "Book of Commandments", but he changed Mingde to 'Mingzhi'. We should take history as a warning and take history as a mirror. As the emperor said, the hearts of slaves and maids are not quiet. ”

The emperor took a sip of tea, and the moment he put down the teacup, he suddenly held Wanning's jade hand that was about to fall, and said, "I will stay in Wanning Palace tonight."

Wan Ning did not immediately withdraw the hand that was held, and after a moment of shock, she raised her eyes to look at the emperor.

In the end, it is a generation of kings, and even when he talks about love, there is majesty between his eyebrows and eyes, and there is a little affection in the coldness, and the hand that is gently held feels warm from the bottom of his heart, which is probably fascinated by every harem woman, and other concubines are afraid that they have already thrown themselves into their arms.

But Wan Ning didn't belong to this harem, she carefully withdrew the hand that was held, and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to play chess all night?" The slave is with you. ”

The emperor withdrew his hand that was in the air, and Gonggong Cui, who was waiting on the side, was disgusted with Wanning.

Both of them had no intention of continuing the endgame on the chessboard, and the emperor sat unintentionally for a short time before getting up.

Wan Ning also immediately got up, bowed down and said, "The slave and maid send the emperor."

Soon after the emperor and Grandpa Cui left, he heard Grandpa Cui's voice in the courtyard: "You are so ignorant and disrespectful to the emperor, the old slave will go to treat her crimes." ”

Grandpa Cui turned around and was about to go back.

"Presumptuous!" But he only heard the emperor's threat.

After Gonggong Cui stopped, the emperor muttered in a low voice: "Go back to the dormitory." ”

All this was heard clearly by Wanning.

This is the first time Wanning has rejected the emperor, but she is not afraid of anything.

Also, when she is free, she has to practice her chess skills hard, and she doesn't want the emperor to let her. In this world, she only allows one person to let herself go while playing chess.

The emperor has been up too many times, and Gonggong Zhang also realized that Wan Ning may be a little anxious at the moment, and finally found an opportunity to go to Yunyan Pavilion alone.

Recently the palace has received many tribute items. The ladies of each palace will naturally get some, especially those who are favored by the emperor. So Gonggong Zhang asked the emperor for instructions and said: "The cloth from the tribute, the old slave personally sent it to Yunyan Pavilion to show the emperor your kindness." ”

"This matter of pleasing women, you are more on the road than me."

"How can it? Your Majesty, you have a lot to worry about this day. This kind of sesame-sized thing, the old slave should do his duty for the emperor. The old slave just thinks that she has slept many times, but she doesn't see any movement in her stomach, if it is the emperor's will, you can't chill the heart of the talent. There are not many lovely women in the palace, talented people are simple-minded, and they are still young, and they still have a long time to accompany the king. ”

"Okay, there you go. In your capacity you will surely appease them. By the way, there is still a lot of paper and ink in the tribute, and I sent some to Li Wanning, and when I went to her palace, I saw her writing many times. The handwriting is quite delicate, but there is a little difference with her temperament, saying that the words are like her person, she is very strange. She is also very good at drawing, so you ask her to prepare a few handy calligraphy and paintings and hand them over to me, so that I can study them. ”

"The old slave first thanked the emperor for Yunyan Pavilion."

"Go ahead."

"Yes."
