Chapter 1,039 Zhang Qilan’s Thoughts
To the people of the capital, the things that happened in Wangsheng Academy were just passing clouds and smoke. They passed away and no one cared about them.
Wang Shengxue is dead, so this matter is settled.
Naturally, no one will pay attention to Ning Caixian's distribution, nor will they care about Ning Xueqing's homelessness. As for the transaction between Ning Xueqing and Shao Yanru, no one will know.
No one thought that Ning Xueqing would tell the truth about the person behind Wang Shengxue for some reason. This matter was covered up by thoughtful people and did not cause the slightest disturbance. Only some big aristocratic families had some vague information. Knowing that Wang Shengxue's matter seemed to be related to His Royal Highness the King of Zhou got involved.
The fact that His Royal Highness King Zhou was smashed on the head by the Emperor also happened to spread silently among the powerful officials of the family.
Yan Xi became the third best person in this world, Tanhua Lang.
On the day when the top pick, the second pick, and the top pick were paraded through the streets, Shao Wanru also got up early and was woken up by several maids.
Prince Chen's Mansion also booked a private room in a teahouse along the road. There were so many people booking private rooms today. Almost all the private rooms in restaurants and teahouses along the way were booked.
Several maids were also full of curiosity. Three years ago, they did not see the horse-riding parade in Yuhui Temple. Three years later, they finally had the opportunity to see such a grand event. The maids They are very attentive.
It wasn't just the maids who were interested, Zhang Qilan also made an appointment with Shao Wanru. She was the one who asked Shao Wanru to book a private room, and she would bring Luo Xiaowan with her to join in the fun.
Shao Wanru was also in a good mood. Chu Liuchen wrote back before and said that he was coming back. Calculating the date, it should be when he returns. If he hurry up, he can still catch up with the Queen Mother's birthday. This makes Shao Wanru feel inexplicably relieved. Many things happened on the Queen Mother's birthday in her last life.
In this life, although she was prepared, she was still a little unsure. It would be best for Chu Liuchen to come back. After all, he was the only one who could really talk at that time.
As for the matter of Princess Yutao or Princess Yuyan, Chu Liuchen also mentioned it briefly, but it was not detailed. He only reassured Shao Wanru that no matter which country's princess wanted to marry the Dongcang Kingdom, they would not marry him. Because of the relationship, he was in poor health and could not marry many concubines. He was powerless to guard Shao Wanru alone.
Shao Wanru's face turned red when he read the letter. After getting married, this man became more and more shameless. He actually said such words so righteously, as if it was such a great thing to be powerless.
Thinking of how every time he hugged me and was filled with emotion, but suppressed it with force, he became even more embarrassed and blushed like fire. Could this person really be any more shameless?
Although he had such a gentle and handsome face, he did such a shameless thing. Shao Wanru felt very shameless just by looking at it.
Under the teasing looks of several maids, I folded the letter and placed it beside my pillow. I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I took it out and read it several times with a blushing face.
She missed him, so much!
In the past, without him, she would complete everything on her own, forcing herself to be strong and never expecting marriage.
Now that there is such a person protecting her, her cold heart slowly warms up, and she doesn't know when she has already had him in her heart.
It was still early when we arrived at the teahouse. Zhang Qilan and Luo Xiaowan had not arrived yet. Shao Wanru followed the waiter up the stairs, but at the corner, he saw a familiar figure. His eyebrows were slightly frowned. He also came to look. Is this a triennial event?
After entering the private room, the waiter brought some water and left. Yu Jie and Qu Le took the tea brought from the house and soaked it in water. Shao Wanru looked at the layout of the private room and sat down.
It was a very simple square table. She was sitting near the window. Below was a street. This was the street where the horse parade was held. The street was very wide. You could see it clearly from here.
The private room I booked was pretty good. After a while, the number one pick, the second pick, and the third overall pick came over, and they were in a position where they could see clearly.
I stood at the window and took a look. There were already a lot of people on the street. Many people were waiting below, waiting to see how high-spirited these young talents were.
"Princess Chen came earlier than us!" Zhang Qilan came in with Luo Xiaowan and couldn't help laughing when she saw Shao Wanru was already there.
He came over and bowed to Shao Wanru, then sat down aside.
After Shao Wanru poured tea for the two of them, he pushed it in front of them with a smile: "Didn't you say it would be earlier than me?"
"Originally, it was even earlier, but before I went out, my mother found out and nagged me for a long time. Later, Xiaowan came over and my mother let me go." Zhang Qilan said pitifully with a look of aggrievement.
Seeing her aggrieved and pitiful look, Shao Wanru couldn't help but laugh, and gently covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, "Then you have to thank Miss Xiaowan!"
"I have to thank Xiaowan properly. If it weren't for her, my mother would never let me out, but if it were her..." Zhang Qilan said this with profound meaning.
Luo Xiaowan blushed and patted her shoulder hard, "What nonsense are you talking about again."
"I'm not talking nonsense, of course it's true." Zhang Qilan said with a righteous smile.
Luo Xiaowan's face turned redder and redder, and he didn't know what to do with the handkerchief.
Shao Wanru looked at this, then looked at that and laughed: "Maybe something happened that I don't know about. It seems to be a good thing!"
"Of course it's a good thing..." Zhang Qilan said.
"Don't talk nonsense, you haven't even written your horoscope yet!" Luo Xiaowan said anxiously, blushing.
Seeing how she was doing, Zhang Qilan didn't say anything. She just pursed her lips towards Shao Wanru, hinting that she should look at Luo Xiaowan's expression.
Shao Wanru pursed her lips and smiled, no longer pressing. She smiled and pushed the teacup on the table towards the two of her: "This tea is good, you guys have a try."
Zhang Qilan took it and took a sip. Her eyes immediately lit up. She looked at the tea cup in her hand and praised: "Good tea, really good tea. I never thought that an ordinary teahouse could have such good tea. When I came here before, , why didn’t you bring me such good tea? Could it be that the owner of the store cheated!"
"Do you think it's good?" Shao Wanru asked with a smile.
After hearing what the two of them said, Luo Xiaowan took a sip and praised repeatedly: "This tea is really good, and it also has a faint floral fragrance. It smells better than ordinary tea and tastes better. "
"Come here, call the waiter and ask him why he didn't serve me such good tea before!" Zhang Qilan said.
The maid behind her is about to go out.
Shao Wanru smiled and said nothing, but Yujie couldn't bear it anymore: "Miss Zhang, this tea was brought from our house, not from this teahouse."
"It's not from here?" Zhang Qilan blinked and took another sip, praising her repeatedly, and then looked at Shao Wanru: "Princess Chen, this tea is really good. I wonder where it comes from? I've never tasted such good tea. , could it be a new tribute in the palace this year?"
The maid stepped back and stood behind her again, looking at Shao Wanru with a smile.
"Do you think this tea is a tribute?" Shao Wanru asked with a smile.
Zhang Qilan took another sip and shook his head: "It doesn't feel like it!"
"What's different?" Shao Wanru asked again.
Luo Xiaowan also took a sip and thought for a moment: "This kind of fragrance is probably not what men like!"
The tribute tea the emperor drank shouldn't have such a floral flavor.
Both Luo Xiaowan and Zhang Qilan have drank tribute tea given by the palace, but they have never tasted this kind of taste.
"This is sent from the country of Ao. It is said to be a kind of tea that local women in the country like, but it is not among the tribute teas. It is only liked by women. In fact, the most outstanding thing here is not the tea, but the tea flavor. This fragrance." Shao Wanru smiled slightly and said with slightly raised eyes.
After saying this, Zhang Qilan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's the truth, but the fragrance of flowers and the smell of tea are not like ordinary scented tea. There are no flowers at the moment, but the fragrance seems to be soaked into the tea, as if it is completely natural, no You know how the smell of tea and flowers are so harmoniously mixed!"
"This should be an authoritarian method of the Ao Kingdom!" Shao Wanru said.
"That's not right. How did the tea from Ao Kingdom get to you? Could it be that...His Royal Highness King Chen sent it here specially?" Zhang Qilan said teasingly.
After coughing lowly, Shao Wanru said: "I did send some of them together with the Queen Mother's letter earlier, and this was given to me by the Queen Mother."
"You mean His Royal Highness Chen paid filial piety to the Queen Mother, but didn't give it to you?" Zhang Qilan blinked, lowered his voice and asked with a smile.
The joke is obvious.
Luo Xiaowan on the side couldn't help but laugh.
"Of course, I paid tribute to the Queen Mother and got my tea." Shao Wanru nodded and admitted seriously, with only a pair of watery smiles, making her eyes more and more charming and natural, and Her exquisite facial features work together, revealing an elegance and charming charm.
Zhang Qilan's heart moved. Although there was still a bit of a smile on her face, the smile in her eyes slowly faded away. There was something in her heart. Originally she thought she didn't care, but now she felt inexplicable. When I think of it, I feel very uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" Sensing Zhang Qilan's forced smile, Shao Wanru asked with concern.
"I'm fine. I just remembered what my mother said about me before. Hey, people who don't know think I'm not her biological child!" Zhang Qilan had a bitter look on her face and said helplessly, "Always ask me to pay attention to this, pay attention to that, and don't allow this. , That’s not allowed, it’s as if I’m willing to get married, if this always happens, how can I live my life.”
She and King Yue are about to get married. It's even harder to go out now. Except for the fact that almost all diplomacy is restricted here, Zhang Qilan feels depressed every time she thinks about it. She actually just wants to wander around freely and doesn't want to do anything. Something out of the ordinary is not allowed by my mother.
It seemed like it was a big deal for her to go out.
In the past few days, there was another thing that was weighing on her mind. She thought she didn't believe it, but now that she saw Shao Wanru, her heart agreed, making her feel at a loss for a moment...
