In order to prevent the flames of war from burning to him, Ji Chun began to pretend to be a grandson.
Wen Qingzhu responded to what he said and refused to say another word until the conversation was over.
"In that case, Wei Chen will resign now." Ji Chun bowed and slowly withdrew.
Seeing Ji Chun's figure disappear completely, Wen Qingzhu turned to look at Wei Ziying: "Is Prime Minister Wei still getting used to it recently?"
Wei Ziying cupped his hands and replied, "Everything is fine. Princess, don't worry."
"What do Prime Minister Wei think of Fu Yu and Wan Hongyu?" Wen Qingzhu actually recognized Pei Yu's ability the most, but his heart was not with the royal family, so he had to choose Wei Ziying second.
However, she still believed in Wei Ziying's ability and gave him this opportunity so that when Pei Yu came back in the future, she would be able to compete with him.
Wei Ziying recognized Fu Yu's abilities in all aspects and praised him as a talent that could be made.
When he arrived at Wan Hongyu, he was a little hesitant: "Wan Hongyu came from a poor family and had a weak foundation. He was a close minister of the emperor in the Hanlin Academy, but after leaving the Hanlin Academy, his ability was not bad, but his life experience limited his future. , In addition, I have never quite understood why Wan Hongyu is unwilling to get married?"
Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath and his eyes became misty: "What Xiang Wei wants to say is that if he has a good in-law, he will no longer have the worries he had before, right?"
"Yes." Wei Ziying found out some information, but he couldn't come forward.
At this point, Wei Ziying's meaning was already obvious.
Either Wan Hongyu marries a girl from an aristocratic family, or Wan Hongyu returns to the Hanlin Academy.
After Wei Ziying left, Wen Qingzhu began to think deeply.
Needless to say, Fu Yu has the Fu family behind him.
But even though Wan Hongyu was appreciated by several elders, he was now in a dilemma because he refused to marry.
"Lu Tao, please let Jasmine leave the palace and ask Qingmei to come see me." Wen Qingzhu felt that this matter needed to be resolved properly.
Wan Hongyu's future is limitless, but being stuck here with Wen Qingmei will probably delay him for the rest of his life.
Time passed slowly, and after noon, it suddenly darkened outside. Within a quarter of an hour, thunder started rolling, and then large raindrops crackled down, forming countless water splashes on the ground.
Wen Qingzhu was sitting in the side hall, leaning on a soft pillow with the window half open, holding a medical book newly sent by Jiang Yuanhan in his hand.
As he watched, several figures appeared inside the rain curtain and soon reached the corridor.
Wen Qingzhu put down the book in his hand, stood up and went out to greet him.
Lu Tao stood at the door and closed her umbrella, while Wen Qingmei and Xiao Xing were patting each other's raindrops.
Seeing her coming, Wen Qingmei hurriedly came over and saluted: "I have met the princess."
"Let's call Seventh Sister and come in and sit down." Wen Qingzhu led them to the room and sat down.
Someone from the palace brought towels and hot tea to wipe away the water drops for Wen Qingmei's master and servant.
After it was over, Lu Tao took Xiao Xing and the palace people down together, leaving only Wen Qingzhu and Wen Qingmei.
"Why are you late today? I wanted to wait for you to have dinner with me."
There was a trace of embarrassment in Wen Qingmei's eyes, but she still smiled: "There are too many things at home, which delayed me for a while, so I came late."
"Do you still need to hide it from me?" Wen Qingzhu sighed slightly and pointed around the room, "This is the Huaqing Palace, and next door is the Qianyuan Palace. I am still sitting behind the emperor listening to politics, and Prime Minister Pei has to stay away. Are you alone? The little Wanjia still can’t handle it?”
Wen Qingmei looked up, her eyes still worried: "Both of them have revealed that the seventh sister's current situation looks good, but it is actually not good."
"How should I say it?" Wen Qingzhu didn't really want to tell her, but he thought of Wan Hongyu's future.
She still told Wen Qingmei: "My current situation was intentionally caused by me, so while I am still powerful, you don't have to be shy and just say whatever you have to say."
Seeing what Wen Qingzhu said, Wen Qingmei asked cautiously: "Does the seventh sister plan to keep Mr. Wan in the Prime Minister's Pavilion?"
"Under consideration." Wen Qingzhu looked at her twinkling eyes and suddenly asked, "Did Wan Hongyu tell you anything?"
Wen Qingmei bit her lower lip and whispered: "The wife and mother-in-law are making trouble at home. They say that the seventh sister is the regent princess, but she doesn't help her brother-in-law. Wanze... He doesn't say it on the face, but he also has complaints in his heart. of."
"Didn't I arrange for him to join the household department? Obviously his position is low, but he is well-paid and his immediate superiors don't dare to do anything wrong. What is he dissatisfied with?"
Wen Qingzhu frowned, obviously not expecting Wan Ze to be in this situation.
"Sister, calm down!" Wen Qingmei suddenly became nervous and hurriedly explained, "Actually, he was satisfied at first, but his family members kept encouraging him, so he would always be affected, not to mention the father-in-law's matter..."
Wen Qingmei didn't continue, but Wen Qingzhu understood in his heart and suddenly asked: "So how is your relationship with Wan Ze now? Do you still plan to have children?"
When the child was mentioned, Wen Qingmei's eyes darkened, she lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while and remembered what happened last time at the Ning family. Wan Ze treated Wen Qingmei so badly that the two of them would never be able to go back to the past.
Before, Wen Qingmei had been holding on, and after feeling constantly discouraged, Wen Qingmei decided to let go.
But I didn't expect that Wanze would turn around and change his mind. Now that Wanjia is caught in the middle, it becomes increasingly difficult for the relationship between the two to return to its past.
"Forget it, let's not talk about Wan Ze, let's talk about Wan Hongyu first." Wen Qingzhu conveyed Wei Ziying's intention to her.
After Wen Qingmei listened, she fell into silence.
After a long time, he asked: "Seventh sister, can you help him look at your relationship? When the time comes, I will ask the emperor to grant me a marriage. He cannot refuse."
"Have you made up your mind?" Wen Qingzhu sighed in his heart. As expected, Wen Qingmei still chose to stay in Wanjia.
"Yes." Wen Qingmei nodded and added, "My daughter is doing very well now. Although my mother-in-law and wife don't like her, my father likes her very much."
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment: "My daughter has reached the age of literacy. Can she be enlightened?"
Speaking of the child, Wen Qingmei laughed: "I have enlightened you. Wan Ze and I taught you together. If the seventh sister is free one day, I will bring my daughter into the palace to see you."
Wen Qingzhu subconsciously wanted to agree, but Lu Tao knocked on the door: "Princess, Miss He has arrived at Huaqing Palace and has arranged to stay in the side hall."
"Who is Miss He?" Wen Qingmei asked subconsciously.
Wen Qingzhu replied: "You don't need to bring your daughter into the palace. He Xianxian is He Zhuo's youngest daughter. I will visit you when I have time. I will discuss Wan Hongyu's matter with the emperor."
"Thank you, Seventh Sister. I'll take my leave then." Wen Qingmei finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if a stone had been dropped.
As soon as Wen Qingmei left, Wen Qingzhu immediately ordered Lu Tao to bring He Xianxian over.
Soon a young girl wearing a green dress stood in front of her.
"My lord has met the princess." He Xianxian bowed with great grace, and there was not a single mistake in his movements.
Of course, the most important thing is that He Xianxian's appearance is completely different from He Zhui's.
He Zhuo has an average appearance, which is considered to be middle-lower among the courtiers, and his temperament is not obvious.
But his daughter was actually filled with an unearthly fairy spirit. She really lived up to her name, and it was a pleasure to look at.
Her appearance is not special, but her temperament is different from ordinary people. She is a little cold and aloof, but she doesn't feel too distant.
When Fu Shen saluted, his cold temperament was further weakened.
Looking at it, it feels familiar.
"No courtesy, I'll give you a seat." Wen Qingzhu said, looking at her.
He Xianxian thanked him and then sat down. His movements were smooth and flowing, and his behavior was extremely elegant.
Wen Qingzhu asked a few simple questions and then asked someone to take her down to rest.
As soon as she left, Jasmine couldn't help but ask: "Princess, why does Miss He look so similar to you before?"
"In which aspect?" Wen Qingzhu became more energetic.
Jasmine recalled it carefully, and then said: "In terms of words, deeds, and temperament, she is not quite like you, but I always feel that the coldness on her body has traces of your past."
"Imitate me?" Wen Qingzhu fell into deep thought.
When she came to her senses, she asked Jasmine to find out about the He family.
Is this He Xianxian really He Zhuo's daughter
If you really want to imitate her, it must have been decided very early. After all, her rules, words and deeds cannot be achieved overnight.
The showers have passed, dispelling the sultry heat of June, and the red clouds on the horizon are as bright as fire.
Wen Qingzhu was about to go to the Xuanzheng Hall, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yuanhan was already rushing here.
The two met at the entrance of Huaqing Palace. Jiang Yuanhan pointed inside and said, "Go in and talk."
He walked quickly inside. Wen Qingzhu was prepared in his heart. It seemed that something big had finally gone wrong with what He Zhuo was doing.
After entering the room and sitting down, Jiang Yuanhan poured tea by himself and drank three cups before stopping.
Xiao Fangzi was holding a stack of folding papers in his hand, looking at them with a solemn expression.
"Sister." Jiang Yuanhan regained his breath, raised his head and said to her, "He Zhui went down to investigate today. Several elders of the courtiers' families died of illness because of the cold due to sudden movement."
Wen Qingzhu frowned: "How many of them? Move?"
Jiang Yuanhan slowly explained that He Zhuo started to act quickly and his methods were so sharp that people had to cooperate.
Several families brought out their elders to show respect, but it rained heavily after noon.
Suddenly from hot to cold, the cold air entered the body, and under the stimulation, he died.
Relatives from two families couldn't stand it and went to Shuntian Mansion to beat drums and complain.
Because they were family members of the courtiers, Jin Long brought people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishments there. Only then did he realize that these elders were about to die. After such a torment, they would naturally go west.
"All the papers were sent to me. If Su Huo's letter hadn't followed, I would have thought He Zhuo did it on purpose!" Jiang Yuanhan was very angry.
All of this was expected by Wen Qingzhu. She smiled and comforted Jiang Yuanhan: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. You are tormenting people who are already dying just to let them die so that this debt can be settled on me."
"Then what are you going to do?" Jiang Yuanhan asked cautiously.
Wen Qingzhu looked into his eyes: "This is what we want to achieve. Only when the water is drained can we know which fish is unclean and which side it is on."
Jiang Yuanhan said nothing, but wrinkled his dragon robe with his hands on his knees.
Thinking of the person in the side hall, Wen Qingzhu asked Lu Tao to bring him over.
He Xianxian was startled after receiving the news. He had only seen her in the afternoon, why did he want to see her again
But now that the Princess Regent is extremely powerful, her father asked her to follow the Princess as much as possible.
He Xianxian quickly dressed up and followed Lu Tao to the main hall.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a bright yellow dress in front of me.
She was nervous at first, but then quickly nodded and walked in.
Salute Wen Qingzhu and Jiang Yuanhan.
Wen Qingzhu showed her where to sit, but He Xianxian still lowered her head and did not dare to look at anyone.
The sudden appearance of a stranger naturally caught Jiang Yuanhan's attention: "Who is this?"
"How about He Xianxian, the daughter of He Shangshu, your majesty?"
Jiang Yuanhan's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Wen Qingzhu, unsure of what his sister wanted to do.
After a moment of silence, he looked at He Xianxian and said, "Raise your head and let me take a look."
He Xianxian suppressed his heartbeat, slowly raised his head, and met a pair of deep eyes.
