On the other side, Qing Wan returned to the palace and saw Bai Tan guarding the door of the courtyard. As soon as he saw her, he came forward and said, "Princess, the concubine is here and is waiting for you in the house?"
"What is she here for?" Wen Yi has been staying in her yard since the last time she entered the palace. She is quite peaceful these days, but she doesn't know why she came to see her today.
Bai Tan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. I seem to want to ask the princess something." After Bai Hua's incident, Bai Tan and the other three's attitudes towards Qing Wan did not change significantly, but they did things more carefully than before.
I was a little more cautious. Also, I talked less than before. When Bai Hua was there, I could often hear the four of them laughing.
It seems that since Bai Hua's incident, the entire palace has become much quieter.
However, Qingwan was happy to be quiet, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Qing Wan entered the room and saw Wen Yi sitting in the room drinking tea. Her eyes slowly glanced at her muddy hem and shoes. Then she raised her eyebrows and said provocatively: "I heard that the princess just went to pay homage.
Have you paid homage to the deceased Mrs. Qing? The princess is really filial. However, has the princess forgotten that she is a married woman and her mother-in-law? On days like this, she goes to visit the graves of her mother-in-law's family, so she is not afraid of being killed by her subordinates.
Did you say anything?"
Qingwan smiled, but the expression on her face did not change at all because of the other party's words. She calmly responded: "Filial piety comes first. I have been away from home for three years and missed my biological mother's memorial day, so I chose today."
Go to worship. Although I married into the palace, she was born to my parents. I don’t think there is anything wrong with worshiping my deceased mother. But the concubine thinks that after marrying into the palace, she should take care of the child.
I don’t care about my parents, and I can’t even go to worship them occasionally? If that’s the case, then shouldn’t the concubine not even be able to return to her parents’ home in the future?”
"I..." Wen Yi was speechless for a moment and couldn't find the words to retort for a long time. Her chest was blocked and she couldn't vent her breath, and her face turned blue and white.
Qing Wan curled her lips, and the smile on her face deepened as she said, "Concubine Concubine doesn't speak, but do you think what I said is reasonable? Concubine Concubine comes from a family background, and I heard that she has read the Analects of Filial Piety since she was a child.
It is clear that filial piety is the foundation of all virtues. There is nothing greater than filial piety. This concubine just chose today to pay homage to her deceased mother and express her longing for her as a daughter. There should be nothing to worry about being said by others.
"
After a pause, he continued: "By the way, I still don't know what the reason for the concubine coming to see me is? Ever since the last time the concubine ran back to her parents' home without saying a word, I haven't seen the concubine come to pay her respects to me for many days.
Today, you shouldn’t just come here to drink tea with me?”
Wen Yi's expression changed again. She was accusing herself of being more unruly than her in disguise.
There was a lot of anger building up in my heart, but I had no choice but to get angry in front of the other person, so I had to endure it, almost to the point of internal injury.
Qing Wan looked at the other party's pale and white complexion, and the curvature of the corner of her mouth slowly deepened. Then, before Wen Yi could speak, she said to herself: "No matter what the concubine has to do with me, please continue.
Sit down for a while and allow me to go in and change some clothes. We will talk after we come out."
Then, he turned to Bai Tan who was behind him and followed her into the house and said, "Go and make another pot of hot tea for the concubine." After saying that, he stopped looking at Wen Yi's reaction and went into the inner room.
