Chapter 81: Peering

Concubine Xian threw Yuan Dai away angrily, and Yuan Dai accidentally fell to the ground. She raised her head and looked at Concubine Xian: "I wonder what concubine said that was wrong to make Concubine Xian so angry?"

"Yuan Dai, do you really think that since you have become a Wan Cairen, I can't do anything to you?" Concubine Xian sent Yuan Dai to Emperor Chu to help herself, but she didn't expect that now Yuan Dai would

How could she not be angry if he competed with her for favor?

Yuan Dai was not afraid of her, and stood up slowly: "In view of the affection that I have served you by your side for so long, I would like to remind you that the emperor is not very satisfied with you now. If you are still like this, I will remind you."

If you embarrass your concubine twice, the emperor will only be more dissatisfied with you. Which is more serious or less important, the empress will weigh it herself."

"How dare you threaten me?" Concubine Xian stretched out her hand and almost slapped Yuan Dai on the face. Yuan Dai did not hide, but looked at Concubine Xian quietly.

"What is Concubine Xian doing? Are you standing at the gate of Weiyang Palace this early in the morning to establish your authority?" Wen Yunxi and Lian Zhi appeared on the other side. Seeing these two people, Concubine Xian put down her hands: "You two

Why is the princess here?"

"Of course I'm here to see my mother." Wen Yunxi looked at Concubine Xian, "I didn't expect to see Concubine Xian like this just when I walked to the door. Concubine Xian, don't forget your identity, and your words and deeds must be worthy of it.

Use the word 'virtuous'."

"Sixth Princess, what do you mean?" Concubine Xian stared at Wen Yunxi.

Wen Yunxi's face didn't change: "What else can it mean? I just feel that Concubine Xian is not the same as before, so I just reminded you a few words."

Concubine Xian did not dare to argue with Wen Yunxi: "Then I would like to thank the princess for reminding me. Xiang'er, go back to the palace!"

After Concubine Xian left, Wen Yunxi and Lian Zhi walked to Yuan Dai. Wen Yunxi asked: "Wan Cairen, are you okay? Why were you standing there being beaten just now? She almost hit you.

"

"Thank you Princess Yunxi for your concern, but even if I get beaten, I will definitely get it back." Yuan Dai answered straightforwardly, and Lian Zhi sighed: "Wan Cai is really sincere."

"When I was with Concubine Xian in the past, I felt that Concubine Xian was kind to people and had a good temper. But today, I realized that all the things in the past were just pretending by her. Look at her appearance today. It turns out that she is just an ordinary person.

She is just a woman, and she will do such disgraceful things when she is angry." Yuan Dai said, "I will not disturb the two princesses."

Yuan Dai then left. Wen Yunxi looked at Yuan Dai's leaving figure and sighed: "I don't know why, there are so many poor women in the palace, but when I saw Wan Cairen being bullied, I felt bad.

taste."

"Maybe it's because of the eyes." Lian Zhi said, "Let's go see the Queen quickly."

In fact, it was nothing important. Wen Yunxi mainly came to pay her respects to Luo Xuanran, while Lian Zhi came to hear the queen's plans for her marriage.

Lian Zhi didn't know much about marriage, but she knew that Luo Xuanran didn't dare to play any tricks on this matter, so she didn't ask any more questions.

The chat lasted a long time, and Luo Xuanran planned to keep them for breakfast. Wen Yunxi and Lian Zhi naturally declined, and then left Weiyang Palace.

"Wanyang, let me go to your place to have breakfast." Wen Yunxi said, "Anyway, there is no point in eating alone."

"Okay, I told Su Ying yesterday that I wanted purple sweet potato and white fungus porridge for breakfast today. She made the porridge early in the morning and is waiting for me to go back to eat it."

"Suying's purple sweet potato and white fungus porridge is delicious. I'm in for a treat today."

Just as Wen Yunxi finished speaking, she saw the three people appearing in front of her. They were Wen Zhiyan, Wen Zhiyu and Fan Ninghuai. Wen Zhiyan saw Wen Yunxi and Lian Zhi at a glance and greeted them: "Sixth Sister"

, Princess Wanyang.”

Wen Yunxi originally planned to avoid them, but Wen Zhiyan called their names, so naturally she couldn't avoid them and could only pull Lian Zhi forward.

"Where do you come from?" Wen Zhiyan asked.

Wen Yunxi replied: "Wanyang and I just came out of Wuyang Palace."

"What a coincidence. Just now, I told the regent that I would take him to see Princess Wanyang. Unexpectedly, I met Princess Wanyang as soon as I walked halfway. In that case, let's go to Yuyang Palace to sit together."

What Wen Zhiyan said made Lian Zhi unable to refuse and could only lead him towards Yuyang Palace.

"The regent came into the palace so early today?" Lian Zhi saw that no one was speaking. The situation was very awkward, so he had to speak first.

Fan Ninghuai replied: "I came to see Emperor Chu this morning. Emperor Chu asked the two princes to take me around."

"Why don't you see the fifth prince?" Lian Zhi asked.

Wen Zhiyan replied: "The fifth brother went to the East Palace as soon as he went to court, saying that he wanted to take care of the prince. The prince was injured, so my father temporarily exempted him from attending the morning court."

Fan Ninghuai said at this time: "It is really difficult for me to meet the prince. Until now, I have not met the princess's marriage partner."

Lian Zhi glanced at Fan Ninghuai: "When did the regent become so impatient? The prince is right there, can he still run away? Sooner or later you will see him."

"Princess Wanyang is right." Wen Zhiyu answered, "The regent will be able to see the prince sooner or later."

While they were talking, they arrived at Yuyang Palace. Su Yue and others did not expect that Lian Zhi would bring back so many people, so they asked: "Princess, do you still want breakfast?"

Wen Zhiyan looked apologetic: "It turns out that Princess Wanyang hasn't had breakfast yet, but we were rude."

Fan Ninghuai said: "I ate something this morning, and it didn't suit my appetite. If there is anything good here, princess, I might as well give it to my king."

"It's true that our hospitality was not good enough. The breakfast may not be to the Regent's taste. Princess Wanyang and the Regent are both from Eastern Xia. I think the breakfast served at Princess Wanyang's place should be to the Regent's taste. Why don't I give it to you today?"

Want to try something new?" Wen Zhiyan's role today seems to be to warm up the show.

Lian Zhi ordered: "Su Yue, prepare breakfast."

The five of them sat down, and Feiyun brought the purple sweet potato and white fungus porridge first, serving a small bowl for everyone.

Lian Zhi scooped it up with a small spoon and took a sip. It was sweet and not greasy at all. Su Ying cooked the porridge very well today.

Wen Zhiyu took a sip and couldn't help but admired: "This porridge is good."

Afterwards, Su Ying served a lot of breakfast, and Fan Ninghuai still ate quite a lot. When the breakfast was finally taken away, there was basically nothing left.

Wen Zhiyan praised: "Princess Wanyang, I didn't expect that the breakfast in your palace is really different from that in other places."

"Usually it's Su Ying who takes care of my princess's diet. It's Su Ying's ingenuity that matters," Lian Zhi replied.

"But why did Princess Wanyang go to Weiyang Palace today?" Wen Zhiyu was a little curious.

Lian Zhi replied: "It's the Queen who came to me to discuss marriage."

"It is indeed time to discuss marriage. Thinking about it, Princess Wanyang has been in Xichu for a long time." Wen Zhiyu asked, "The prince was injured recently. I wonder if the marriage will be postponed?"

Lian Zhi shook his head: "I see the Queen's intention, and I will not postpone the wedding. The wedding will be held in one month."

Wen Yunxi was very happy: "Wanyang, that's great, you will be my sister-in-law by then."

Fan Ninghuai listened to the conversation of several people. Although there was a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes.

Fan Ninghuai didn't stay here long. After chatting for a few words with the others after breakfast, Wen Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the three of them leaving. "We're finally gone."

"What's wrong with you? I haven't seen you being so exaggerated when I saw the eldest prince and the second prince before." Lian Zhi teased.

Wen Yunxi replied: "I'm a little afraid of the regent. I don't know why, but when I saw him, I was even more frightened than when I saw my father."

"Are you so scared?"

"So I admire you very much. I see you are not timid at all when talking to that regent. It's amazing."

"Is Fan Ninghuai that scary?"

"The look in his eyes when I looked at him was scary. I used to be afraid of my father because I thought he was too serious. And this regent looked quite funny, but when I saw his eyes, I was scared and didn't dare to get close.

he."

Lian Zhi asked: "Do you think the position of regent is easy to occupy? The regent is not an emperor, so once he makes a mistake, it will be magnified infinitely. If you do something right, it is what you should do. So in order to stabilize your position

, I’m afraid he doesn’t even recognize himself anymore.”

"Listening to what you said, I feel that the regent is a bit pitiful."

Lian Zhi laughed: "Don't feel sorry for him, because he asked for all this by himself. He still refuses to delegate power to the emperor. Isn't it because he is greedy for the power in his hands?"

"He is so tired, why is he still unwilling to delegate power?" Wen Yunxi didn't understand what Fan Ninghuai was thinking.

Lian Zhi thought of Fan Ninghuai's past: "Because when a person gets something that does not belong to him, it is difficult to let it go. So no matter how much pain he endures, Fan Ninghuai is not willing to let it go. But some things are like fingers.

The sharper the sand, the tighter you hold it, the faster it will pass."

After Lian Zhi said this, he suddenly thought of himself. Doesn't her current identity not belong to him? If she were asked to leave now, would he still be willing?

Wen Yunxi seemed to understand: "I finally understand that Fan Ninghuai is looking for trouble for himself. If I were him, the new emperor would naturally have to slowly delegate power when he grows up. In this way, I can not only have more leisure, but also gain the favor of the new emperor."

Respect and be grateful, and you won’t have to worry about it for the rest of your life.”

"Yun Xi, if only things were as simple as you think." Lian Zhi sighed. Even if Fan Ninghuai is willing to delegate power now, I am afraid that the current Eastern Xia Emperor Lin Yuchu will not believe him. The political affairs of the court are far away.

It's far from that simple.
