He saluted gently and respectfully: "Yes!"
Wen Wan is retreating.
At this time, the bead curtain was rolled open.
The palace maid led a beautiful woman with fair skin, round face, and pearls, and a girl with almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks, a beautiful face and moon-shaped face, in.
Wen Wan took a look at them quietly, blessed the two of them, and then left.
The eldest princess in the room smiled and asked them to sit down.
Wen Wan, who had not gone far, heard the eldest princess praising the girl in yellow: "Heng Xi has become more and more like a flower. Whoever marries you in the future will be a great blessing!"
Wen Wan's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose.
Could it be that the eldest princess wanted this woman in yellow to be the eldest grandson's concubine
The daughter of the Minister of Industry is indeed qualified for this status!
Moreover, the Ministry of Industry is a department with a lot of money and water, and it plays a decisive role in the imperial court.
Wen Wan was a little confused, but she also knew that she was not qualified to be the eldest emperor's grandson's concubine after all, and the eldest emperor's grandson would marry his concubine sooner or later.
what to do
When Wen Wan walked back to her small courtyard, she happened to meet the eldest emperor's grandson walking towards the main courtyard of the eldest emperor's concubine.
She quickly bowed like a weak willow and helped the wind: "I have met the great emperor's grandson."
Normally, the eldest grandson would help her up personally, but today, he had business, so the eldest grandson just nodded and hurriedly passed her by.
Wen Wan looked at the eldest emperor's grandson leaving in a hurry, and she couldn't help biting her lower lip.

The eldest princess kept Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and her daughter to have lunch before having them sent away.
After the two left, the eldest princess asked the eldest grandson: "Shengyuan, what do you think of Miss Huang?"
The eldest emperor's grandson nodded: "Beautiful and dignified, well-informed and knowledgeable about etiquette, and from a good background, quite good!"
It's time for him to marry a concubine, and it's best if the concubine's natal family can be helpful to him!
The daughter of the Minister of Industry and Industry is not bad!
Besides, Huang Hengxi is also pretty among women.
The eldest princess smiled when she heard this: "How about the mother-in-law ask the Queen for a marriage on your behalf?"
The eldest emperor's grandson nodded: "It's all up to the mother and concubine to make the decision! I still have something to do, so I'll go and do it first."
The eldest princess smiled and nodded: "Okay, go and get busy!"
After the eldest imperial concubine left, she immediately entered the palace to see the queen.
Kunning Palace
The queen dismissed all the maids, leaving only an old nun.
The eldest princess handed the handkerchief to the queen: "Mother, Wen Wan has obtained Princess Hui'an's blood."
The queen took it, opened it and glanced at the bright red color on the handkerchief, then looked at the old lady beside her: "Is it okay?"
The old grandma took a look and said respectfully: "That's all."
The queen handed the veil to her: "When can we start?"
The old grandma took the handkerchief, took out a black purse embroidered with strange words, and put it in: "It's best to start on July 14th, the Hungry Ghost Festival."
The queen nodded: "Is it too late in more than two months?!"
The Queen wishes that bitch would die soon!
The old grandma lowered her eyes: "The success rate is higher on the Ghost Festival."
When the queen heard this, she stopped talking and said, "This will help you!"
"Old slave, go down and make arrangements first!"
The queen nodded.
The old grandma stepped back respectfully.
The eldest prince's concubine was watching her nose and heart at this time. After the old nanny retreated, the eldest prince's concubine told the queen about the eldest grandson and Huang Hengxi.
This matter was planned by the Queen. After hearing this, she said: "Since Sheng Yuan has agreed, I will inform the Emperor today to request a marriage!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

Shichanghou Mansion
After Nuan Nuan returned from delivering the goods, he began to design the packaging of the Dragon Boat Festival gift boxes for Taoranju and Yangshenglou.
She had to draw the packaging design of the gift box as soon as possible, and then have Cangzhu make the engravings, then print them in batches and then color them.
Seeing that Nuan Nuan was drawing a picture, Wan Yun probably didn't need to wait around, so she said something to Nuan Nuan and ran past Prince Jin's Mansion next door.
Nalan Jinnian had just returned from the palace. Hearing that Wan Yun was asking for an audience, he summoned her in the study without changing her clothes.
Wan Yun's request to meet must be because of warmth.
"What's the matter with Princess Hui'an?" Nalan Jinnian sat on the armchair in front of the desk and asked directly.
"Go back to the master, today the princess saw off the old lady and the others, and met the great emperor's grandson's concubine at Shiliting. She..."
Wan Yun told Nalan Jinnian what Wen Wan had done.
Nalan Jinnian put his finger on a book on the desk and tapped it gently.
"The king knows."

The next day, the health-preserving crystal bird's nest ice-heart rice dumplings were put on sale at Taoranju, with a limit of 100 copies and a trial price of fifty-five taels per portion. Each portion contains five rice dumplings, which is eleven taels per rice dumpling.
At eleven taels, you can buy dozens of ordinary rice dumplings.
But the health-preserving crystal bird's nest ice-heart rice dumplings contain bird's nests and are made with health-preserving ingredients. One rice dumpling costs eleven or two, and everyone really thinks it's not expensive!
It’s so cheap that I cry!
I have never eaten such cheap health food in Taoranju!
Besides, in this era, bird's nests were not obtained by artificial breeding of swiftlets.
Most of them are obtained by the swallow collectors from cliffs or deep into mountain caves.
The quantity is small, it is extremely rare, and not many people take the risk to collect it, so the price of bird's nest is also surprisingly expensive.
Because of this, the health-preserving crystal ice heart bird's nest rice dumplings produced by Tao Ranju were sold out in less than half an hour.
Everyone also ordered gift boxes!
However, the gift box costs one hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver per box, and comes with a sachet of rice dumplings to dispel diseases and ward off evil spirits.
Tao Ranju received more than a hundred orders on the first day!
In the next few days, until before the Dragon Boat Festival, the number of orders increased several times.
Because everyone who has tried it thinks it is delicious, and the gift box is packaged in a high-end and elegant style, making it a decent gift.
Tao Ranju's business has also become popular because of this healthy crystal bird's nest ice heart rice dumpling!
In recent days, Wen Nuan has been busy coloring the packaging gift boxes of Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings.
The pattern of the gift box has been made into a carved board, and the pattern is printed using woodblock printing technology.
After printing, it needs to be colored, and the coloring part has to be done manually, because the order quantity is large.
Sometimes there are five or six hundred boxes of orders a day, and on Dragon Boat Festival, there are more than two thousand boxes of orders.
There were a lot of packages to color, so the whole family went out to help, including the maid.
Nalan Jinnian would sometimes help.
Later, the eighth princess and Liang Ziyun came to play and saw it, and they both brought their maids to help.
The whole family was so busy that they never touched the ground.
On the first day of May, the emperor summoned him, and Nuan Nuan brought several boxes of crystal bird's nest and ice heart rice dumpling gift boxes into the palace to meet the emperor.
In fact, it is very inconvenient to bring food into the palace and requires strict inspection.
But since Nalan Jinnian accompanied him, this inspection was waived.
Nuannuan and Nalan Jinnian first went to the imperial study to meet the emperor.
After saluting.
The emperor looked at Nalan Jinnian who was sitting there carelessly blowing his beard and glared: "Aren't you going to recuperate? Why are you in the palace? Are you afraid that I will eat Princess Hui'an?"
