"Your Highness the Princess?" Wen Qingzhu walked over slowly and glanced around the room, "Where is Mingxuan?"
Jiang Dejia stood up and replied: "My mother-in-law took him to see my father."
"Why does Your Majesty suddenly want to see him? Didn't you ask for permission on the matter of serving as an attendant?" Wen Qingzhu subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
Jiang Dejia pointed outside and said, "Let's go to Qianyuan Palace first as we walk."
Walking on the long palace road, Jiang Dejia held her hand and explained: "It was Concubine Luo who wanted to see Mingxuan, so Your Majesty asked her to go to Qianyuan Palace."
"That's wrong!" Wen Qingzhu immediately refuted it.
Why would Luo Chan want to see Wen Mingxuan for no reason
Jiang Dejia nodded: "I feel the same way, so my mother-in-law asked me to come back and wait for you, and take you there with me."
The two people quickened their pace and were about to arrive at Qianyuan Palace.
The father-in-law who was leading the way pointed ahead and said, "Princess, Miss Wen, we are almost there."
Wen Qingzhu was about to reply when he suddenly felt strange and stopped.
She stared at the father-in-law who was leading the way and said, "What's your name?"
Only then did Jiang Dejia react. After recalling the father-in-law's voice, his expression condensed: "You are neither from Qianyuan Palace nor Jingping Palace!"
The father-in-law lowered his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve.
He turned around and stabbed Jiang Dejia.
At this moment, an arrow flew from a distance and hit the father-in-law right in the heart.
The strange father-in-law who was leading the way froze, vomited blood, and fell straight to the ground.
Wen Qingzhu looked up and saw Wei Yu running over quickly with a team of people in the distance.
He glanced at the two of them and asked, "Are you okay?"
Wen Qingzhu turned around anxiously and looked in the direction of Jingping Palace: "It's okay! Over there with the Eighth Prince—"
Wei Yu immediately said: "Sister Wen, don't worry, there are people from the Wei family over there. If you are worried, I will go over and take the Eighth Prince over."
"Okay! I'll wait." Wen Qingzhu agreed. Watching Wei Yu's people clean up the father-in-law's body, he turned back to Jingping Palace.
After waiting nervously for two quarters of an hour, Wei Yu came back with Jiang Yuanhan intact.
Wen Qingzhu immediately stepped forward, squatted in front of him, and looked level with him: "Are you okay?"
"No, what happened?" Jiang Yuanhan was a little confused.
Wen Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and tried his best to suppress Fu'er's tragic death. He held his hand and said, "It's okay. Come with us to Qianyuan Palace."
When they arrived at the entrance of Qianyuan Palace, Wei Yu suddenly looked sideways.
He saw a dark shadow flashing around the corner, and he immediately lowered his eyes.
Wen Qingzhu also noticed something: "If you have something to do, go and do it first. You'll be fine when you get to Qianyuan Palace."
"Sister Wen and Princess, be careful. I'll leave first." Wei Yu cupped his hands and left with the imperial army, chasing the black figure.
Jiang Dejia glanced at Wei Yu thoughtfully and frowned slightly.
Arriving at the front hall of Qianyuan Palace, Jiang Yue was questioning Wen Mingxuan.
He looked very happy, stroking his beard and laughing loudly: "Wen San is really good, he taught you such a good boy!"
When Wen Mingxuan was about to reply and correct him, Wen Qingzhu walked in and interrupted him.
"Your Majesty, my daughter is here."
Jiang Dejia also bowed and said, "Father, I have brought my eighth brother over."
"You guys came just in time. This Wen Mingxuan is really good! If you ask me, if he takes the scientific examination next year, he will definitely be selected as a scholar, and he may even become the youngest scholar!"
Jiang Yue waved them forward, pointing at Wen Mingxuan and praising him.
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. Mingxuan just studied more and took the scientific examination, which is not enough." Wen Qingzhu explained modestly for Wen Mingxuan.
Jiang Yue shook his head: "I am not wrong. He is only ten years old this year, but he can speak and analyze in an organized manner. When he was as old as Cheng'er, he was not as smart as him!"
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu's heart skipped a beat.
Subconsciously, he glanced sideways at Wen Mingxuan. Did he say something that he shouldn't have said
Jiang Yue talked about Wen Shuquan: "Speaking of which, your father Wen Shuquan seemed to have been admitted to the Juren Examination last time, but did he find himself vacant?"
"Reporting to your majesty, my father has a vacancy in the household department." Wen Qingzhu said respectfully.
Who knew that Jiang Yue was originally smiling, but after hearing these words, the smile on his face faded a bit.
"Since there is a vacancy, let's take it slow." Jiang Yue turned around and asked the eighth prince to come forward, and asked the school to test his homework.
Jiang Yue originally had no feelings for this child who was born in a cold palace.
But he was raised by Concubine Wei who had no son, and now he wanted to promote Concubine Wei, so he also paid more attention to Jiang Yuanhan.
It still has to be passable in terms of face.
But after this questioning, Jiang Yue unexpectedly discovered that Jiang Yuanhan was also very smart and began to be familiar with government affairs.
He glanced at Concubine Wei subconsciously.
Concubine Wei smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, this child has a reserved temperament and is not very playful. Like Mingxuan, he basically studies and practices calligraphy in his own study. When he is free, he also goes to the teacher."
"I see. It seems that these two children are also destined." Jiang Yue nodded.
After leaving Qianyuan Palace, Wen Mingxuan officially stayed in the palace.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the two of them and asked: "Xuan'er, you are the elder brother, you have to take good care of the eighth prince, you know?"
"I know, sister, don't worry, I will take good care of His Highness." Wen Mingxuan rarely felt that he was an adult like sister, and he raised his chin proudly.
Concubine Wei looked at their siblings and took Jiang Yuanhan's hand: "First, go with your concubine to your imperial sister's place, and let sister Qingzhu talk to Mingxuan."
"Okay." Jiang Yuanhan followed Concubine Wei.
Only sister and brother Wen Qingzhu are left in the room here.
Then she asked Wen Mingxuan: "What questions did His Majesty ask you in Qianyuan Palace just now, and how did you answer them?"
Wen Mingxuan said it carefully, and finally said with some anxiety: "I have followed what sister said, read more and talk less. I don't know why your majesty still thinks I am smart."
Looking at his younger brother, Wen Qingzhu was very pleased. He touched his head and said, "Your Majesty, after all, you can always see through more things than others. You have to be more cautious in the future, you know?"
"Yes, I know." Wen Mingxuan nodded obediently.
"That's good. By the way, you have to slowly teach the Eighth Prince the things I gave you, you know? There are some things that it's hard for Concubine Wei to say, but you can."
Wen Qingzhu's expression became solemn and he gave Wen Mingxuan instructions in detail.
It was not until half an hour later that Wen Qingzhu took him out and taught Wen Mingxuan to Concubine Wei.
"From now on, I have to ask the empress to take care of Mingxuan."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of them. You can come to the palace often when you are free."
"It may not be available this month, but it may be available in December."
Concubine Wei nodded: "Okay, you can go about your business in peace, I am here."
When leaving the palace, Wen Qingzhu turned back three times with each step.
This was Mingxuan's first time going out, and Wen Qingzhu was worried about having to live outside for a long time.
Lu Tao held her hand: "Miss, please stop looking. The more you look, the more reluctant you are to let go. The young master still has to rely on himself after all. What's more, with Concubine Wei protecting her and Wei Yu also in the palace, nothing will happen to them. "
"You're right. I can't protect him for the rest of his life. He still has to walk his own path in the future."
Only then did Wen Qingzhu force himself to look back and get into the car while wiping his tears.
After their carriage left, Eunuch Hu walked out of the palace gate, hesitated for a moment, and then returned to Hanbing Palace.
Wanbi was arranging flowers. When she heard Eunuch Hu talking about His Majesty, Wen Mingxuan was smarter than King Chu, her hands stopped.
"What did your Majesty say? Say it again!"
Eunuch Hu carefully repeated: "His Majesty said that Wen Mingxuan is smarter than His Royal Highness the King of Chu at this age. Later, he specifically asked where Wen Shuquan was looking for a job. After hearing that he was in the Ministry of Household Affairs, he stopped asking."
Wan Bin put down the scissors in her hand, a layer of frost formed on her face, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised: "It's amazing that there are children smarter than adults in this world."
Eunuch Hu was silent and said flatteringly: "What do you want to do?"
Concubine Wan looked down at the jasmine flower in her hand and said with a smile: "I heard that Your Majesty sent Aunt Zhang to imprison someone?"
"Yes, Mo'er used to be a servant in Qianyuan Palace." Hu Fei didn't know that Mo'er was Jasmine, but he just felt that this was Mo'er's chance to make a comeback.
After returning home, Wen Qingzhu took advantage of the darkness to visit the Shenxing Department.
After seeing Hei Jiren, he gave him the last acupuncture treatment.
After putting away the silver needle, Hei Jiren looked at his wrist and marveled: "I have long heard that Miss Wen has excellent medical skills, and today I finally saw it."
"Master Hei, why do you need to compliment me?" Wen Qingzhu looked at him sideways, with a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth.
Hei Jiren put down his sleeves, raised his hands and clapped them.
Then someone brought a tray covered with black cloth.
After placing it on the table between the two of them, Hei Jiren pointed at the black cloth and said, "Is this what you want? I will do what I say!"
Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath, then stretched out his hand and untied the black cloth with slight trembling.
What appeared in front of him was an ancient jade with a corner missing.
Just like the corner that Oriole gave her before, it was an old yellow with black stains.
Wen Qingzhu wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a word.
Lu Tao, who was standing nearby, understood what she meant and handed over the corner of the ancient jade that Oriole had given her before.
"Miss."
Wen Qingzhu took it tremblingly, put it on the tray and put it together, just enough to form one piece.
Staring at this damaged piece of ancient jade, Wen Qingzhu had many things going through his mind.
In the end, there was only one scene frozen in front of her.
When something happened to the prince, Wen Qingfang took the ancient jade and presented it to Jiang Yue, temporarily saving the prince.
"It turns out that what happened to my grandfather was actually planned by him!" Wen Qingzhu's eyes widened, and his right hand tightly grasped the piece of ancient jade that was broken into large and small pieces.
"Scheming! He is so scheming!" Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.
Hei Jiren had never seen Wen Qingzhu have such emotional ups and downs before, and his eyes flickered as he stared at her.
"Thank you so much Master Hei this time." Wen Qingzhu asked Lu Tao to put away the ancient jade and turned to thank Hei Jiren.
Hei Jiren, who frowned slightly, watched Lu Tao put away the ancient jade, and asked suspiciously: "You don't want revenge, do you?"
"Master Hei is overly concerned. Some revenge can be avenged, and some revenge cannot be avenged. I still know." Wen Qingzhu looked at him deeply and said something ambiguous.
