Chapter Twenty-Four
Regardless of the performance of the two princes, Wan Qing and Su Ling had a great time.
Before leaving, Su Ling grabbed Wan Qing's clothes and said innocently, "Sister, sister! In a few days, we can go eat delicious food! I will follow my sister then!"
How many days will it take for you to go out for delicious food? What will be the date in a few days?
Wan Qing frowned and was suddenly startled, remembering that in a few days there would be a banquet for the emperor and his ministers. At that time, all the ministers could bring their wives and children to attend. It was also an engagement between some princes or a banquet between ministers.
"Deal". I'm afraid that Dr. Su wanted Su Ling to go to the palace to see her in the name of eating delicious food.
At the banquet, having Su Ling as a companion is definitely good news for me, but at the same time, bad news also comes out. At that time, I will inevitably meet my biological father, as well as my husband from the previous life, and even...
Facing several princes, it is really a blessing and a misfortune...
Wan Qing suppressed her emotions, nodded to Su Ling, and hooked her fingers before getting on the sedan with Su Ling's reluctant eyes.
On the way back, the noisy voices of people did not make Wan Qing's mind idle. Instead, she was isolated from it, and she was thinking wholeheartedly about how to get rid of the unnecessary troubles at the banquet. In addition to her current identity,
You should also take into consideration the reminders given to you by your past life memories, which must be perfect.
After thinking for a while, Wan Qing pursed her lips. As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, so it would be wise to muddy the water now.
Wan Qing, who was sitting in the sedan, suddenly showed a sly smile. She had a plan in mind, and her mood finally improved.
After returning to Zuo's Mansion, Wan Qing went to Madam Zuo's room, thinking to make a plan with Madam Zuo, "Wan'er has met my mother."
When Mrs. Zuo saw it was Wan Qing, she immediately put down her embroidery work, patted the cushion beside her, and asked Wan Qing to sit next to her, "Would it be better to go out and get some fresh air?"
Wan Qing nodded, took Madam Zuo's hand, and after telling some interesting stories about Su Ling, asked Madam Zuo about her plans, "Mother, do you have any plans for the big banquet in a few days?"
Madam Zuo sighed and shook her head silently. Not to mention that Prime Minister Zuo had not yet thought of marrying Wan Qing, nor his current position, Madam Zuo did not have a suitable candidate in her eyes.
If Wan Qing is added to the royal family, with Wan Qing's ability, there will be no problem in surviving, but the intrigues will be too tiring.
If you marry the son of a certain minister, except for a few outstanding young people, their future is uncertain. And those who are outstanding may not be good to Wan Qing.
And if you marry a wealthy family, it doesn't matter if you are tainted with the smell of copper. Everyone knows that these wealthy families have some unexplainable weird tempers, so Wan Qing cannot be allowed to suffer in the past.
After many considerations, I finally couldn't make up my mind. I had to take it one step at a time.
"Wan'er, you don't want to be in the limelight at the banquet." Madam Zuo smiled bitterly and patted Wan Qing's hand. When she entered the palace that day, Wan Qing had already attracted the attention of the Empress Dowager to see the performance of the eldest prince and the fourth prince.
, I’m afraid it’s because of the instructions from the Queen and Concubine Chen. If you are really taken into consideration, you have to be careful.
Wan Qing smiled lowly and said, "Mother, Wan'er not only wants to be in the limelight this time, but also in a big way."
"Wan'er! Why don't you listen to your mother's advice?" Mrs. Zuo couldn't help but become anxious, and her tone couldn't help but become more serious. When Huamei was summoned, she would call Prime Minister Zuo and ask him to come and persuade Wan Qing.
"Mother, why are you so angry before Wan'er's considerations are revealed?" Seeing that Mrs. Zuo was a little angry, Wan Qing quickly handed over the tea and asked Mrs. Zuo to slow down, and planned to speak out her thoughts, but unexpectedly
Mrs. Zuo's eyes turned red when she saw the gauze wrapped around her fingers.
Zuo Wanqing hurriedly hid her hands back in her sleeves, and quickly expressed her opinion before Mrs. Zuo was about to speak, "Mother, now Wan'er has become a fragrance in people's hearts because of the status of father and mother.
There is no doubt about it. However, at the banquet, Wan'er not only needs to face them, but also needs to face his biological father. Even after many years, he is still very likely to find out that I am his daughter.
, rather than being discovered by him and laying hidden dangers, it is better for him to attack on the spot and avoid future troubles. If Wan'er performs well enough and attracts more people's attention, he will definitely want to seize my chess piece. Then, exposed
It may be bigger.”
Mrs. Zuo nodded. She had not thought of this, and she was a little careless. Fortunately, Wan'er thought of it herself.
Seeing that Wan Qing seemed to have something to say, Mrs. Zuo did not interrupt and drank tea to calm down her breath.
"The limelight is going to come out, but not too much." Wan Qing smiled lowly, with an unquestionable affirmation in his tone, and a kind of strategizing confidence, "I want to make this muddy water messy for everyone to see.
Not clear."
Judging from the memories of previous lives, the most outstanding person in this banquet was Sun Yexue, the daughter of Right Prime Minister Sun Zhong.
Not only did she have a stunning appearance, but she was also as intelligent as her father. She gained the appreciation of the Queen Mother and the Emperor in one fell swoop, and became the quasi-princess of the eldest prince.
During the process of the eldest prince's ascension to the throne, this woman also pushed hard so that the eldest prince could sit in a high position. He was definitely not a simple person.
And I can't be weaker than her, nor stronger than her, and I have to be evenly matched...
His fingers were injured, and he couldn't improve his piano skills no matter what. Sun Yexue was also one of the best, so she had to avoid his edge.
Then, the only way to take a different approach is to make sure that her excellence cannot be summed up with his own.
"Don't hurt yourself, I'll let you go." Mrs. Zuo pondered for a long time, and finally nodded, accepting Wan Qing's idea, "Are you tired from playing with Su Ling today? Dinner is almost ready.
.Let’s go together. It’s up to your mother to tell you about your father’s place. Don’t be hungry.”
After finishing speaking, the two of them walked out together.
Under Madam Zuo's instructions, the dinner was relatively light, which suited Wan Qing's appetite, especially the soup. Wan Qing couldn't help but drink more, and Madam Zuo and Prime Minister Zuo laughed to themselves.
This made Wan Qing blush again.
"Drink if you like. Why don't you feel embarrassed at home?" Prime Minister Zuo and Mrs. Zuo looked at each other and said nothing more. However, they silently recorded Wan Qing's preference in their hearts.
After dinner, and after chatting about home affairs for a while, Mrs. Zuo urged Wan Qing to go back to the house to rest.
"Dad, mother, please rest early." Wan Qing excused herself softly and returned to her courtyard with a smile.
