Twenty-eight: Test (Part 1)
After Ling Xi came in, Wen Wan did not give him any guidance. Instead, she asked Xia Ying to take Ling Xi to a house. There was a book in the room, which was the enlightenment book compiled by Wen Wan for the children. Ling Xi did not have this book yet. Because this book was compiled for two-year-old children, Ling Xi had already gone to the study room to study and no longer needed to read books for two-year-old children.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Ling Xi watched the sky outside gradually darkened. He wanted to go out, but the door was closed and he couldn't go out. Ling Xi didn't know what Wen Wan was going to do. Ling Xi was a little scared and shouted loudly: "Aunt, aunt." Unfortunately, no one answered him.
Xia Yao felt strange about Wen Wan locking Ling Xi in the house as soon as she came, and not allowing people to serve her: "Princess, what are you going to do?" In fact, there were people in the yard, but Ling Xi could not see it. The shadow given by the emperor was secretly protecting him. However, the shadow received Wen Wan's instructions and knew that Wen Wan was testing Ling Xi not to starve him to death, so she did not show up.
The night was getting darker and darker. Ling Ling hadn't eaten for most of the day and was so hungry that he couldn't move. But he could only stay in the house and couldn't get out. There was actually water and food in the house. But he couldn't get out. There was no one.
Finally, Ling Ling couldn't stand it, so she climbed onto the bed and huddled into a ball in the quilt, and fell asleep in confusion. When she fell asleep, she was still thinking about what my aunt was doing.
Wen Wan coaxed the two children to bed, then got up and asked Xia Yao: "Where is Ling Xi?" This was Wen Wan's temporary intention. It would be better to say that it was a test to see how Ling Xi's endurance was.
Xia Yao didn't know what Wen Wan sold: "Princess, Ling Ling is asleep. Princess, you must lock Ling Ling up and not contact you." Xia Yao was puzzled. What exactly Wen Wan was going to do.
Wen Wan didn't explain.
Mingrui asked Wen Wan quietly: "Mom, why don't you give me food to me?" He also wanted to know what my mother wanted to do.
Wen Wan smiled and said, "Want to know?"
Mingrui focuses on the key points.
Wen Wan touched Mingrui's head: "Think about it yourself. If you want to be a general, you must not only have good martial arts skills, but also have to be flexible in order to win battles. So Mingrui has to use more brains." She would not use this method to educate her son.
Mingrui was full of black thread, and his mother was also insidious.
The Crown Princess was also very worried in the Eastern Palace. The Crown Prince who stayed here tonight whispered: "I don't know if Ling Xi takes the Princess's Mansion. Will this child recognize the bed?" Many of the plots were their own flesh and blood.
The prince felt that Ruyu was completely thinking: "Where is Ling Xi in Wen Wan? Can you still lose money?" Today's apprenticeship banquet was held so grandly, which shows that Wen Wan was thinking. He saw the ugly expressions of the third and fifth brothers, although he did not show his face, but he felt extremely happy.
The Crown Princess had no choice but to say anything. Besides, the Crown Prince would probably leave again. She could only hold back the countless thoughts in her heart.
Lingxi woke up in the middle of the night. After waking up, the room was still deserted and no one was there. Lingxi called out many times: "Aunt, where are you, aunt?" But the answer to him was just endless loneliness.
After calling for a long time, Ling Ling continued to sleep. But Ling Ling was extremely confused. Why did her aunt lock him in the house? Life was very slow, as if a year was going to last longer.
Wen Wan got up the next day and punched her: "What's wrong with Ling Ling?"
Xia Yao whispered: "Lying in bed now."
Wen Wan thought of Ling Xi's thin body: "Go and see how he is in? If he can still support him, let him stay." Wen Wan didn't want to abuse Ling Xi, but just wanted to see how Ling Xi could bear it.
Of course. If there is no shadow guard around you, Wen Wan will not be relieved and let the child be locked in the house. If there is a shadow guard, Wen Wan will not be worried.
Xia Yao came back and said that Ling Ling looked okay, she continued to eat and drink. After that, she read the book alone with relish.
Wen Wan nodded, her mentality was very good. It was difficult for a five-year-old child to do this. Wen Wan had a little more confidence in Ling Ling.
Wenwan went to the front yard to handle the matter. Ling Ling, who was locked in the house, continued to read after eating and drinking. However, as she watched, she put down the book and stared blankly.
Although Ling Xi has only been to the Princess's Mansion a few times in the past year, she is very envious every time she sees Wen Wan accompanying Mingrui and Mingjin. And on the few days, my aunt is also very concerned about him. She will definitely not want to blame him or something. Maybe my aunt is another test for him. Thinking of this, Ling Xi is very calm.
Ling Ling was a coincidence this time. In previous years, it was not highly valued in the Eastern Palace. It was usually in the yard. There were palace maids and eunuchs and nurses in the yard. However, because of their identity, these people were only popular. They could not communicate with him. It would be even more impossible to coax him and tease him. If the Crown Princess knew that he would not die, they would be thin. Therefore, Ling Ling was used to being deserted. Staying in the house, except that he was not allowed to go out freely, otherwise it was similar to the Eastern Palace.
Ling Ling was very calm. Unfortunately, Xia Yao and Xia Ying were not calm anymore.
Until dinner, Xia Yao finally couldn't help asking: "Princess, what are you doing? It's been a day and a night, why are you doing with Ling Xi locked up?" Xia Yao also knew that Wen Wan would not harm Ling Xi, but she really couldn't understand what Wen Wan meant.
Wen Wan looked at Xia Yao's disagreement and said with a smile: "Is it because I think it's not my child, it won't hurt?"
Xia Yao looked at Xia Yao: "If it were Mingrui and Mingjin, would the princess be willing to do it?" She locked the child in the house and ignored him. If it was cold or scared, this was not a trick. Therefore, Xia Yao was sure that Wenwan would definitely not be willing to do it.
Wen Wan shook her head: "If Mingrui, I will, Mingjin will not be able to bear it." Mingrui can suffer this. If Mingjin is locked up and doesn't cry and his voice is hoarse, he will definitely not stop.
Wen Wan smiled after saying that. She wanted to be honest with her child. Judging from this, she was not suitable. Mingrui would supervise her martial arts. But she was afraid that she would not be competent in her academic performance. It seems that it is very necessary to hire a teacher.
Xia Yao also knew that Wen Wan was not a cruel person: "Princess, what do you want to do?" Why do you want to abuse the child? And it was the first day he abused the child. This was really puzzling.
Wen Wan smiled, no explanation.
Not to mention Xia Yao's doubts, even the emperor in the palace was puzzled. He didn't know what Wenwan was going to do. He kept the child locked up and isolated from the world as soon as he arrived at the princess's mansion.
After hearing this, Eunuch Sun said with a slight interest: "Your Majesty, the princess should be trying to test His Highness Ling Xi." Otherwise, why did you lock the person up properly?
The emperor looked at Eunuch Sun. Isn’t this nonsense? Isn’t it locked up someone to test what to do? The problem is that the emperor couldn’t understand what Wen Wan locked up Ling Ling to test. This is the key.
It was night again, but no one came. Ling Qing looked at the dark room and felt a little panicked. It was already day and night. What was the aunt going to do?
Wenwan entered the house after Ling Xi fell asleep. Seeing Ling Xi's face with doubts, she did not have the horror and fear as imagined. Wen Wan touched Ling Xi's forehead. This child had good psychological qualities and could be taught by a child.
Although Ling Ling was pretty good, she went to a strange place and was locked up as soon as she came. She was always keen. When Wen Wan's hand touched his forehead, Ling Ling opened her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Wen Wan.
Ling Ling was calm on his face, but she was not as good as she showed on her face. This day and night seemed to have passed a century, even longer than a century.
Ling Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wen Wan: "Aunt, you are here."
Wen Wan chuckled and pressed Ling Ling down, and pinched the quilt for him: "Are you afraid of being alone in the house for a day and a night? Are you complaining about your aunt?"
Ling Ling nodded: "I'm a little scared. But I know that my aunt must have the intention of doing this. If she has an aunt, why should I lock me up?"
Wen Wan saw doubts in Ling Ling's eyes, no anger, no resentment, and no panic. Wen Wan felt that she was really misleading. This child was no longer timid. Even the bold Mingjin could not do this well.
Wen Wan looked at the puzzled Lingling and knew that she had to give him an answer: "Tell my aunt, are you feeling uncomfortable every day?" The child's mind was still relatively pure. Unfortunately, he was destined to be stained by himself.
Ling Ling said with a blushing face: "It's very uncomfortable and scared. But I know that my aunt has the intention, so I restrained it." Because of this belief, I was not very scared. I was just a little confused.
Wen Wan's fingers stroked the carved patterns on the chair, making a harsh sound. Ling Feng looked at Wen Wan inexplicably.
Wen Wan sighed slightly and said, "I told you last time that your father and mother wanted you to be loved by your aunt because your aunt has power, money, and is favored by your emperor and grandfather. But do you know what kind of life did your aunt live in the past?"
Ling Xi shook her head: "I don't know." Many older people know Wen Wan's deeds. But as a child, no one will tell him about Wen Wan's experience.
Wen Wan smiled calmly: "When my aunt was young, she was locked in the same yard. There was no one else except a nanny around her. And the nanny was not at home if she wanted to go out to work and make money to support her aunt. So there was only my aunt in the whole yard. At that time, no one talked to my aunt, and no one played with her. My aunt grew up like this." Wen Wan could imagine how lonely that child was. Especially, Madam Huang also told her about her status and status. How many people could defend the gap between the description and reality? Wen Wan couldn't imagine how the child lived to be six years old.
Ling Ling's eyes were wide open.
Wen Wan stood up: "Everyone in the world envies my aunt for having her current status. But everyone has chosen to forget how much suffering my aunt has suffered and how much sin she has suffered to be what she has today." Wen Wan not only wants to see Ling Xi's patience, but also is preparing to take this opportunity to tell Ling Xi how difficult the future road will be. (To be continued)
