Chapter 223 Request for Correction of Name
Because Wanning was simple-minded when she played chess, the emperor would not deliberately please him, and he liked to play chess with her. Since Wan Ning played chess with the emperor, even if she wanted to let him like everyone else, she didn't have that strength, and killing her without leaving a piece of armor was like playing.
On the contrary, the emperor often let her. If you want to refuse the emperor, you don't dare to say it clearly, you can only improve your chess skills.
After a period of hard training, there is still significant progress, at least I can fight with the emperor for a while.
After a few games of chess, the emperor couldn't help but praise: "Wanning's chess skills have improved a lot." β
If it weren't for dealing with the emperor, she wouldn't care about her chess skills at all. After all, it feels different to be with Brother Ziang. Without tenderness and sweetness, the emperor gave her the feeling that there was only cruel war in this world.
Because Wan Ning had been kneeling for more than an hour before, she had no way to kneel, so she could only sit cross-legged like the emperor. The emperor has never cared about her faux pas.
After a long time, I can't avoid some numbness in my buttocks. She moved her legs with difficulty, and quickly pulled back her thoughts and said, "Your Majesty, because of your superb chess skills, the slaves and maids have seen more, so there is room for improvement." Life is like this chess game, whether he can make progress depends on who his opponent is. β
"Although you are not only complimentary, but there is some truth to this."
The Emperor stared at the chessboard for a few seconds, and in a moment he made a decision. He decisively ate one of Wan Ning's pawns, and then asked as if nothing had happened: "Wan Ning, who taught you chess?" Who did you play chess with? β
Wanning's chess skills were of course taught by Li Zhenghang at first, and later Zhiyang was taught, and then she often played against Brother Ziang. The master has always avoided having anything to do with the royal family, and he can't betray him at this time. She has always refused to mention Brother Ziang in front of the emperor, just to protect him. It will not be mentioned at this time.
Therefore, she simply replied: "The slaves and maids are all taught by my father, and he often makes chess." I probably think that there shouldn't always be some thoughts of fighting in a woman's head, so she never asks how superb the slave's chess skills must be. β
"You have a good father." The emperor said slowly.
Wan Ning slowly moved her body, her legs were just a little better, and she knelt down in front of the couch again: "Your Majesty, since you know the cause of the slave's father's death, you naturally know that the charges after his death are all framed. He has done his best for the court all his life and should not be burdened with notoriety. I ask the emperor that you can correct your father's name. β
The emperor recalled that it was many officials who jointly wrote to him that he was afraid of guilt and judged himself, and he also issued a holy decree of confiscation of all family property and property.
Now it seems that they do have a purpose, probably after Li Zhenghang's death, seeing that Wanning was just a weak woman, they seized the property of the Li family. If you remember correctly, it was Gao Junming who took the lead. Aren't the two of them going to get married?
However, he changed his mind, yes, what does the embezzlement of the Li family's property have to do with getting married? When he shouldn't talk about love, he won't talk about it at all, this is really Gao Qing's personality.
The emperor's interest in chess finally weakened a lot, and he no longer focused on looking at the chessboard, but only lowered his head slightly, as if he glanced at the jade wrench in his hand. He whispered, "Get up, I know about it." β
His answer was brief, but it was a yes. The emperor does not joke, the emperor will not agree to other people's things at will, and he will definitely do it. Wan Ning didn't want to ask for anything more, so she just said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he got up, moved back to the couch with difficulty, and continued to play chess with him.
I played chess with the emperor all night and said so many things. Wan Ning knew that this was Yunyan Pavilion, and the talent was the real master, so she shouldn't take up so much of the emperor's time. Here, the emperor only belongs to Zhou Cairen.
"Your Majesty, you came to Yunyan Pavilion entirely because of your talents, but you have been in the side hall for so long, and the slaves and maids are really thinking about talents. You like her, and you should think about her feelings. β
The emperor glared at her: "You're right, you really should think more about talented people." Anyway, if I stay in Yunyan Pavilion tonight, will you still feel that you have treated talented people lightly? I just came to play a few games of chess with you and with other people, because of their fawning, I didn't have a lot of fun. I don't feel so much burden when I go down with you. β
"Thank you for your love."
"With your heart, you will never please me like them. It's just that I want to ask, you will feel very pitiful when you see them please, right? β
was questioned by the emperor like this, Wanning was a little timid. not only has to answer his current question, but also has to round out his pitiful words about Xiao Jieyu.
"Your Majesty, you are diligent in government affairs all day long, and you only rest when you come to the harem, and you deserve to be served. The concubines only please the emperor alone, and the emperor wants to please the people of the whole world, and the evaluation of the emperor by future generations must be more important. β
"You meanβ"
Before the emperor's words were finished, Wan Ning knew what he was going to say, and he must have asked, "Do you think I am pitiful?" β
She couldn't let the emperor say this, and interrupted: "This is a great task from heaven, and it has nothing to do with the word 'pitiful'." As we all know, the throne was not easy to come by. But since you sit in this position, this is a game that can only be won and not lost. With great power comes great responsibility, and the slave believes that you will be able to do a good job as an emperor. β
"You girl, if you compliment, you are gradually learning to a level."
Wan Ning only smiled faintly.
At the end of the day, the makeup on her face was a little lighter, but it seemed to fit more with the sweetness of her face. There is a refined innocence in the soft smile, and it really can't be associated with the beauty in front of you and the family accident.
"Wan Ning, you really didn't want to be by my side forever?"
"Your Majesty, don't be kidding. Your harem is not too much for me, but not much for me. β
This remark once again shows her arrogance.
Wan Ning was originally quite high-minded, of course the emperor knew, and another reason was that she had the young master of the Gao family in her heart. These two people, one sticks to the name, and the other stands up for him and takes care of them in every way. I feel that the relationship between the two is quite deep.
It's just that she still doesn't admit that she has a marriage contract with the Gao family, and if she confesses that she has been married to the Gao family, the emperor will not be able to handle it.
First of all, he wants to give the Gao family a few thin noodles. Although Gao Junming has some mistakes, he is still a minister of the imperial court. Gao Ziang is also a leader among young people, and after a long period of observation, he is still very optimistic about him. Secondly, it is not good for the emperor to continue to be sorry for the Li family.
The emperor found that although the Gao and Li families had always wanted to marry, they seemed to be a little inseparable. In addition, Zuo Linghong's exposure of Gao Junming even bites. Many things are linked, and I am a little curious about whether Wan Ning complains about the Gao family.
"Wan Ning, do you know who took the lead in playing your father in the first place?"
Wan Ning lowered her head, and it took a long time to spit out a few words: "The slave knows." β
