Chapter 26: Planting

Soon, the silver candle and the picture screen helped Zhao Wanning to the guest room. The maid of the Eldest Princess's Mansion brought hot water and clean clothes, and the two waited for Zhao Wanning to take a bath.

Zhao Wanning seemed to be really drunk. She didn't wake up until the two of them took a bath for Zhao Wanning, changed into clean clothes, and put her on the bed.

Silver Candle was a little worried: "Is the county lord too drunk this time?" The two of us have served her for so long and she has not reacted at all. ”

The painting screen shook his head and motioned to Silver Candle not to worry: "The county lord is in good health, and he also used some food before drinking today." Moreover, the osmanthus wine in this banquet is not a strong wine, but the county lord is depressed and is more likely to be intoxicated. ”

Silver Candle is still a little worried, and wants to find a female doctor to take a look.

Huaping grabbed her and said, "We are not in the Invitation Moon Garden now, we are in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, even if we are worried, we must believe in the Eldest Princess." Let's follow the arrangement of the eldest princess first. ”

Silver Candle had to press all worries. She glanced at Zhao Wanning, who was asleep on the bed, and carefully helped her tuck the corners of the quilt and put down the bed curtain.

The lights in the house were extinguished, and only a faint moonlight shone in through the cracks in the windows.

Zhao Wanning, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes in the dark, and tears poured out of her eyes like pearls with broken threads and disappeared into the pillow.

She held back these tears for a long time.

From the separation of her parents, from the time she was divorced by Qi Xuan, from the time she was forced to marry Pei Yue, from the time she fell from the Star Picking Tower.

Along the way, no one has ever cared about her, no one has ever asked her if she is happy, and no one has ever asked her what she wants.

How can you not be wronged?

She is the eldest princess's unlearned and unskilled waste county lord who will only be embarrassed, she is the chess piece used by the Marquis of Zhenbei to show loyalty to the royal family, she is the fiancΓ©e who was forcibly pushed to Qi by the Marquis of Zhenbei, and she is Mrs. Pei who was coerced by rumors to marry Pei Yue.

But she just wants to be Zhao Wanning.

I thought I would be able to start a new life after being reborn, but I didn't want to go into a dead end. She obviously no longer wants the eldest princess's care, it is the eldest princess who cares about her first, but she suddenly changed her attitude.

If you haven't gotten it, it's fine. If only she hadn't tasted her mother's love. Now she has gained and lost it for a short time, so fast that she has no time to react.

She obviously just wants to be a salted fish lord who no one cares about, guarding her small yard and doing a small business. When he had saved enough money, he found an opportunity to leave the eldest princess's mansion and leave the capital. The sky is high and the birds fly, and she also wants to try life outside the cage. But now she is being involved in this court dispute by the eldest princess.

How innocent she was.

Left and right are just a chess piece in the hands of others, so it is better to live freely and freely.

The first thing Zhao Wanning did after returning home was to give the silver candle a thousand taels of silver tickets.

"County Lord, what do you mean by this?" Silver Candle took the silver ticket with both hands.

"You go to that pawnshop and redeem that jade pendant first." Zhao Wanning commanded.

"Why do you want to redeem it?" Silver Candle asked, puzzled.

Zhao Wanning exhaled lightly: "That jade pendant was given to me by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when I was a child. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Silver Candle looked up in surprise. The jade pendant was not registered, and it looked like an ordinary material, and the silver candle thought it was just an ordinary jade pendant. I didn't expect it to be something that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave to the county lord.

"Why did you take away the jade pendant given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Yes, how dare I exchange the jade pendant given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today?" Zhao Wanning smiled bitterly: "All the objects in this mansion are all registered, no matter which one is lost, it will be difficult to explain it in the future." There is only this jade pendant, and I'm afraid no one will remember it except me. ”

"Then I'll go and redeem it." Silver Candle said, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait." Zhao Wanning stopped her and gave her two silver tickets of five hundred taels: "No matter what, if you want to redeem that jade pendant, even if they open their mouths." If these two thousand taels are not enough, you will come back to me first, and I will be with you. ”

Silver Candle nodded.

Zhao Wanning thought very clearly. Since Princess Celestia is allied with her, it means that she can indeed predict the future. Who doesn't want to know what the future holds? If there are really some difficulties, if you know in advance, you can prepare in time, and maybe you can take advantage of the situation.

Since the eldest princess needs to rely on her ability, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should also need it.

Celestia's conversation yesterday was obvious.

Zhao Wanning has always believed that the eldest princess is not a thing in the pool. As a princess of the first dynasty, she was not raised in the deep palace like other princes and princesses, and grew up in fine clothes and food, but traveled around with the masters. It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. Princess Celestia must have been eye-opening in all these years of travel. She also has a fortune teller by her side to help. The eldest princess has excellent martial arts and excellent strategy, such a person will make a great career no matter how you look at it.

Now it seems that Princess Celestia is aiming for the nave. She admired the courage of the eldest princess, whether it was the eldest princess who took the initiative to ask for training in the military camp, or her insights into the situation in the court.

Zhao Wanning also didn't want a person like the eldest princess to finally embark on the road of no return to peace and become a political victim of the game between the two countries.

Princess Celestia is an eagle in the sky, and she shouldn't be trapped in the identity of a princess.

Zhao Wanning actually believes in the character of the eldest princess. It's just that Princess Celestia herself said that in order to complete her career, she can even sacrifice herself. What's more, what about Zhao Wanning?

Zhao Wanning has no big ambitions, just wants to spend this life peacefully. She should also leave a way out for herself.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the back road left by Zhao Wanning for himself.

If the matter of the eldest princess is revealed, she can hug the thigh of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and leave herself a glimmer of life.

Silver Candle and Picture Screen didn't know what she thought, and Zhao Wanning didn't explain it to them, after all, if the eldest princess didn't do what she planned, she would lose her head.

If the eldest princess really has the heart to win the heir, then, as the eldest princess's ally, Zhao Wanning should also do more.

Zhao Wanning stood in front of the Huangmu pear table for a long time, and the ink dipped in the wolf dripped on the rice paper, smearing a piece of ink.

Zhao Wanning still can't write, she wants to write down her dreams, at least to tell the world about the evil deeds of the governor of Yuanzhou, to let the saint know the current situation of Yuanzhou, and to let the people of the world know what kind of dire situation the people of Yuanzhou are in now.

But she, Zhao Wanning, is not a person from the court, and she can't directly present it to the saint.

Zhao Wanning thought of the book. In her last life, she liked to read books, especially those who loved love. Some of the plots in the book are novel and the stories are novel, which makes people want to stop. There are also some books that are widely circulated on the streets of the market, from the sons and ladies of the powerful families to the common people.

If you can incorporate these things into the script, you can spread them out.

After a long time, Zhao Wanning finally fell into the first pen.

After a long time, the picture screen suddenly pushed the door in: "The county lord is not good, you can save the silver candle quickly!" ”

Zhao Wanning put down the wolf's hair, raised his hand and rubbed his sore shoulder, and asked, "What's wrong with the silver candle?" Didn't I ask her to redeem the jade pendant? ”

"The jade pendant hasn't been redeemed yet," Huaping's tone was anxious: "However, the silver candle was tied up by the subordinates of the Yulu Temple, saying that she stole Miss Chen'an's silver ticket. ”

"Now that she has been tied up and sent to Qingkuang Courtyard, Miss Chen'an is clamoring to cut off the hand of the silver candle, please save her!"

"What?" Zhao Wanning got up suddenly, but she was dizzy for a while, and her body was a little unstable. Picture Ping hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "County Lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

"No problem." Zhao Wanning stood up straight: "Probably because I haven't rested well after drinking yesterday." Let's go to the Qingkuang Courtyard. ”

Inside the clear courtyard.

The eldest princess sat in the first place, and Zhao Chen'an stood beside her crying.

The silver candle was tied up with five flowers and knelt in the center of the hall.

Without waiting for the maid to report, Zhao Wanning broke in directly.

Silver Candle's mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth and she couldn't speak, and she was already in tears, and her cheeks were swollen high. was beaten by Zhao Chen'an.

As soon as she saw Zhao Wanning coming in, Silver Candle struggled to her side.

Zhao Wanning squatted down and gently pulled out the strip of cloth in the mouth of the silver candle.

"The county lord saved me, Silver Candle really didn't steal Miss Chen'an's silver ticket! Silver Candle is not a thief, really is not a thief. Silver Candle cried, her mouth dry from being gagged with strips of cloth for a long time, and she spoke with a trill.

Zhao Wanning patted the silver candle soothingly: "I know, leave it to me." ”

"Paint." Zhao Wanning commanded loudly: "Quickly untie the silver candle." ”

"Sister Wanning, what are you doing here?" Zhao Chenan hurriedly spoke: "Although this silver candle is your maid, she stole my silver ticket." You let her go before you could find out why. Is it intended to shield her? ”

"Huh." Zhao Wanning sneered: "You also know, you haven't asked the reason for the matter yet. Then why was she convicted and lynched! ”

"Sister Wanning, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Chen'an said: "If you don't torture her, how can she admit her evil deeds?" ”

"It's not that I said sister, you have such a thief by your side, it's really confusing. I know that sister, you have a good heart and are not willing to punish your subordinates. ”

"Since my sister is reluctant, then let me do it for me. It is also a scourge for such a subordinate with unclean hands and feet to stay in the mansion, so it is better to beat her up and sell the mansion. ”

"You dare?" Zhao Wanning's tone was cold. She was really angry.

The eldest princess, who had been closing her eyes and recuperating herself, suddenly opened her eyes: "Zhao Wanning, what are you doing here?" Do you still have any rules for a county lord? When they entered my courtyard, they did not report it, and when they saw me, they did not salute, but yelled and yelled in my courtyard. Are you when I'm dead! When will it be your turn to call the shots in this eldest princess's mansion! ”

Zhao Wanning sneered, and then said in a strange manner: "Oh, isn't this my mother?" You're finally willing to speak. It's been so long since my daughter entered the house, and you haven't looked at me properly. Why did you suddenly see me when I was about to get angry? ”

The eldest princess was stunned.

Zhao Wanning has always been well-behaved and lovely in front of her, and she knows that Zhao Wanning has always wanted to please her.
