Yuwen Yao's hands hanging on his sides were clenched into fists in his sleeves. Everyone looks down on me. When I ascend to the throne, you will tremble when you crawl under your feet. It's exciting to think about it!
After leaving the palace, Marquis Yongchang directly got on the carriage and returned to the Marquis Mansion. After parting with the third prince, he felt even more guilty for his daughter. He was also a marquis and held real power in his hands. Why should he be abused by an unfavored prince?
Blackmail.
At this moment, he just wants to see his poor daughter and tell her that his father will definitely seek justice for her in front of everyone.
…
Xiao Wenjun did not go to Wenyuanfang today. She waited all night at Shizi Mansion last night and did not hear the familiar sound of climbing over the wall. Now she feels a little uneasy. I wonder if something happened to Wang Jiuyuan?
"Chun Xia, please come over, big brother." Xiao Wenjun said calmly, without any hint of happiness or anger.
"No need, big brother, I'll help you bring the person here." Xiao Wenqing's joking voice came, "How should my sister thank me?"
Xiao Wenjun suddenly stood up and looked outside the courtyard door. He saw Xiao Wenqing followed by a listless Mingyuan. His heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened?
Seeing this, Xiao Wenqing joked: "Whenever you were so anxious when you met my eldest brother, I was satisfied."
"Why didn't your master come?" Xiao Wenjun ignored his elder brother's joke and just threw a stack of banknotes to him, then frowned and asked Mingyuan.
"It's not because of you that my master was imprisoned by Mr. Ge!" Mingyuan said angrily. The people waiting outside the study were all silent about the movement last night. My master often made Mr. Ge angry because of the woman in front of him.
.
"Are you here to ask me to save him? You have to have the attitude you should have when asking for help!" Xiao Wenjun raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Mingyuan, but he felt at ease that everything was alright.
"Chun Xia, change my clothes for me and go to Yuxiu Mansion to rob people." Xiao Wenjun's voice returned to indifference.
Mingyuan's eyebrows twitched. Is Princess Lanling so tough and domineering? Yuxiu Mansion is not comparable to Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
Although the official position of the cabinet minister is only the fifth rank, he is at the core of Da Qi's power. All the documents of the imperial court must be submitted to the cabinet first. After the cabinet reviews them, they attach the drafting plan and opinions and submit it to the emperor. Although it is only a draft, its actual
But he has the decision-making power.
Because further up, there is the emperor's review, Zhu Pi. The status of Ge Lao can be said to be lower than one person and higher than ten thousand people. He is one of the most important people in the Daqi Dynasty.
Even the members of the royal family must respectfully address their master as "Old Wangge" when they see him.
Mingyuan was still standing blankly at the door of the courtyard. Xiao Wenjun was already dressed and passed by her like a gust of wind. At the end, "What are you doing there? Why don't you hurry up and lead the way!"
Looking up, Mingyuan's eyebrows were trembling even more, and his heartbeat was irregular. My aunt, you are really going to rob someone!
Xiao Wenjun had never dressed up so grandly before. Her dress was begonia red, which can only be worn by the second rank. There were symmetrical tassels on both sides of her bun that reached down to her earlobes. She was wearing an outfit that was only used when entering the palace.
Having gotten used to Princess Lanling's plain clothes, she secretly complained that the young master had bad eyesight and that the future mistress was not beautiful enough.
Now, Mingyuan only took one look and didn't dare to look again. Even the back of the woman in front of him was graceful and majestic. He didn't dare to look directly at her!
This red dress matches the master very well!
Thinking of this, Mingyuan followed him with a bang.
Xiao Wenjun did not parade on the street with great fanfare like he broke into the Yamen last time, but got on the carriage of the Prince's Mansion. Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he knew how to save Mr. Ge's face.
The carriage soon arrived outside the main entrance of Yuxiu Mansion.
Chunxia went down and knocked on the door, explaining his purpose to the guard guarding the door. Princess Lanling was visiting. The guard politely asked the princess to wait, then turned around and quickly reported to the house.
After a long time, the guards came over. The sweat on their faces was not dry, and they had a look of confusion on their faces: "Please let me go back to the princess. The elder is ill today and it is inconvenient to receive the distinguished guests."
He had also heard about the evil reputation of Princess Lanling, and he felt very uneasy in his heart. Today he was just on duty for his good brother, so why did this happen to him? Who should he talk to for explanation?
Chunxia did not embarrass him and passed the words to Xiao Wenjun as they were.
Xiao Wenjun opened the curtain. He had already expected that the gate of Mr. Ge's Mansion would be difficult to enter, so there was no unnecessary emotion on his face. He just got up, got out of the carriage, and walked straight to the main entrance.
Seeing this, Mingyuan hurriedly followed him, although he knew in his heart that it made no difference whether he followed or not.
"Junior Princess Lanling, Xiao Wenjun is here to pay a special visit to Mr. Wang Ge!" Xiao Wenjun's voice contained part of his inner strength. As long as the people in the house were not deaf, they would definitely be able to hear it.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement in the house.
The clothes of the guards outside the door were soaked with sweat. When the autumn wind passed, they couldn't help but shuddered. Princess Lanling wouldn't go crazy, would she? Would she have an operation nearby?
Contrary to what the guards thought, Xiao Wenjun just stood quietly, with a calm demeanor, as if she was not the one being ignored.
"Xiao Wenjun, the head of the Xiao family, came here to visit Mr. Wangge." Xiao Wenjun's voice was restrained and his voice was higher, "If you don't open the door, I, the princess, will kick the door down!"
Mingyuan was running around anxiously, not knowing whether to persuade Xiao Wenjun or go in to find someone for help. At this moment, the main entrance of Yuxiu Mansion opened.
Xiao Wenjun raised his feet and walked in. He turned back to Mingyuan, who was still stunned, and said, "Do you need me to remind you again?"
When Xiao Wenjun entered Yuxiu Mansion again in this life, his mood was completely different. The ancestors of the Xiao family also lived here for a period of time.
In fact, she doesn't need to lead the way from afar. The rockery pools, pavilions, flowers, trees, and quiet and elegant atmosphere here are familiar and strange, as if they are from another world.
"Princess, please move to the study, Wangge is always waiting for you." Ming Jing came towards me, glared at Mingyuan first, and then said to Xiao Wenjun, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
Xiao Wenjun raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that Wang Jiuyuan had already talked everything out with his father. Staying behind closed doors was just to show off his power. He just didn't know the meaning of doing so. This princess has always been soft-spoken rather than tough.
Entering the study, a strong aroma of books hits the face. The interior is simply decorated. There is a couplet hanging on the wall facing the door, "Thousands of books, ancient and present, disappear forever, and the dawn of a window sends the fleeting years away."
The outer room is the reception room. In addition to tables and chairs, the view is full of bookshelves, all of which are well-thumbed Four Books and Five Classics, and the way to govern the world. It can be seen from this that Mr. Wangge is not just someone who relies on flattery to get to the position as outsiders say, but has a big heart.
A capable minister who knows everything about heaven and earth.
It seems that rumors cannot be trusted, only seeing is believing.
"Princess Lanling, are you satisfied with my study?" Seeing Xiao Wenjun staring at the study for a long time, his eyes seemed to be full of nostalgia? An unfathomable light flashed in Mr. Wang Ge's eyes.
"Old Wang Ge is laughing at me, how dare I, the younger generation, make unreasonable comments." After being provoked, Xiao Wenjun remained calm and said with a modest smile.
