After that day, the capital returned to its previous bustle, and no one mentioned Wen Yuan's incident anymore. As for the farce of whipping the princess, it gradually disappeared from people's minds.
However, from that day on, the emperor always felt awkward when seeing Wen Yuan again, so his attitude towards her was not as gentle as before he broke up with her.
"Your Majesty, Wen Yuan is clearly colluding with monsters. Why don't you bring her to justice? Don't we all have evidence?"
A harsh and mean voice was heard. The speaker was an old eunuch who had been with the emperor for decades. He had been with the emperor since he was a child and was considered his front-eye in the harem.
The emperor put down the brush in his hand and looked at the old eunuch seriously without saying anything. The old eunuch was so stared at that he quickly knelt down.
"I have my own reasons. Do you think I don't want to take this opportunity to get rid of her? But I also have to consider the people of the world."
The eunuch didn't understand what the emperor meant, so he knelt on the ground and buried his head deeply, "Please give me some advice, please."
Of course, it was impossible for the emperor to tell anyone about the transaction between him and Quan, so he pretended to be righteous and said to the eunuch: "The demon clan behind her is too powerful. I am worried that after she is executed, the other party will kill everything. It is us, the people of the Dragon Kingdom, who will suffer at this time."
"What's more, there is nothing wrong with leaving her in the Dragon Kingdom as a princess. She is afraid that I will attack her father and brothers, so she will naturally be obedient and not cause any trouble."
After listening to the emperor's words, the old lady suddenly realized that he was indeed the emperor, and even his thoughts were so different, "Holy saint!" He flattered the emperor, but he didn't know that at this time, the emperor was brewing a dirty plan in his heart.
Wen Yuan has been staying at the princess mansion in the capital these days, and with Quan and the others by his side, he can come and go freely between Feihua City.
She had nothing to do all day long. She just stayed in the house, either feeding fish or admiring flowers. She was almost getting moldy. "Master, go and bring Lin'er. Anyway, it's just a matter of tearing apart the space."
"Why are you so busy that you miss her so much?"
"Isn't that right? In order to observe the emperor's attitude towards my father, I can only stay in the capital. I don't know how long I will live here. I really want to go back to Feihua City to live my own happy life."
Seeing how bored she was, Quan smiled and said nothing. After tearing apart the space, he walked to the princess mansion in Feihua City and picked up Lin'er.
As soon as Wen Yuan hugged Lin'er, her mood improved. She smiled and even her temperament softened. She really looked like a loving mother, "Lin'er..."
She lowered her head and pressed her face against Lin'er's. Thinking of her child who had never had a chance to be born, she felt desolate in her heart, "What a good Lin'er..."
"Why do you look so sad? You were fine just now. Did you think of something?"
Izumi doesn't have the ability to read minds, but her expression is too obvious.
Wen Yuan withdrew her sad eyes and focused on Lin'er, "I haven't seen her for a few days. I miss her."
At this moment, Lin'er touched Wen Yuan's face with her two young hands, "Er...Er..."
The child in her arms was babbling, which really softened Wen Yuan's heart.
"This capital city is more prosperous than Feihua City after all. I will take Lin'er out to buy some gadgets. Master won't let me go, right?"
She stared at Quan half-jokingly, "It's summer again, and I want to buy something for Lin'er."
"Let Xuan Yuan follow you." As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Yuan jumped down from the table, circled Wen Yuan's feet and then jumped on Wen Yuan's shoulders.
Now that the truth is out, who in the capital dares to say anything wrong about Wen Yuan? Even if he is walking on the street with the child in his arms, he is just curious about who the child is and does not dare to do it a few days in advance.
"Chunhua, what do you think about us buying a house in the capital for Lin'er? She is almost one year old."
Listening to Wen Yuan's words, everyone around him lamented that he was so wealthy that he would give away a big house as a gift.
Chunhua naturally followed Wen Yuan's wishes, "That's fine. If Lin'er finds a lover in the future and has a house nearby, she won't be afraid of being bullied by her husband's family."
This is probably funny. With Lin'er's status, she is surrounded by these high-status brothers and sisters, and her father is the deputy leader of the demon world. Who can make her suffer?
While the master and servant were talking, Wen Yuan raised his eyes and saw Wen Lingjing entangled with a man on the street.
Wen Lingjing was particularly favored because she was the youngest princess in the palace. She was also a girl who was loved by all.
Although her personality is a bit arrogant, she is still cute. Wen Yuan has always been close to her, so it is inevitable that he will care about her affairs.
Wen Yuan walked up to her with the child in her arms and looked at the man beside her coldly, "Xiao Liu, who is this?"
She used to like to call the sixth princess Xiaoliu, and Wen Lingjing never resisted, but only Wen Yuan was allowed to call her like this.
"It's Sister Ayuan. Let me introduce to my sister that this is Shen Xia, the second son of the Shen family." Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Wen Yuan guessed that Xiao Liu liked this man.
But... when she looked at Mr. Shen, she found that the man's eyes were wandering and he didn't look like a good man. Wen Yuanhu asked: "What were you two doing just now? Xiaoliu, why do your eyes look red?" ?Cried?"
She took a step forward and said, "You're crying. What's going on?"
Xiao Liu wiped away her tears and glanced secretly in Shen Xa's direction. Wen Yuan understood with just one glance.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten the red-oiled duck from Banfenglou, how about we come together? This meal is my sister's treat." She handed the child in her arms to Chunhua, and held Wen Lingjing's arm with one hand.
The sixth princess had indeed not seen Wen Yuan for a long time and really missed her, so she agreed, but before she left, she secretly looked at the man again, "I..."
"Let's go, let's go. I wonder if Shen can go together?" The man's guilty expression made Wen Yuan a little curious. Since he wanted to go, let's go together.
Banfeng Building is Chi Zhaoyue's territory, so all the clerks in the store know Wen Yuan, and they feel closer to her than they do to Yinzi. "Princess Xianyang is here! The private room on the top floor is reserved for you, please hurry up." please."
The waiter greeted Wen Yuan warmly, and even the shopkeeper came to greet Wen Yuan and get close to him.
"Of the dishes I usually order, today's tea will be Lushan Yunwu, and a pot of hot fresh goat's milk." She ordered the fresh goat's milk for Lin'er. The child was not used to drinking milk, so she had to drink Some goat's milk, but luckily she's not picky.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Wen Yuan had a brief chat with Xiaoliu's parents, "You are not young anymore, so you should be more steady. Speaking of which, you have reached the age of engagement."
"Sister..." After all, Xiaoliu is a young girl who has not yet left the court, so she is inevitably a bit shy when talking about these things.
She hesitated to speak and looked at Shen Xia beside her, but the man was only drinking tea and had no intention of speaking.
Wen Yuan's eyes wandered over the two of them, and he said jokingly: "Could it be that you like Mr. Shen?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Liu's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But the man seemed to be frightened by Wen Yuan's words. He quickly put down the tea cup in his hand and explained: "I think Princess Xianyang has misunderstood. The Sixth Princess and I have no feelings."
"Oh? No intention?" Wen Yuan's eyes turned to Xiao Liu.
Just at this time, a milky-white croquette was served on the table. Wen Yuan thought of a plan and pushed it in front of Shen Xia, "Xiao Liu always likes to eat this milky-white croquette, why don't you show your courtesy?"
Shen Xia didn't understand what Wen Yuan meant, but he still followed her words and gave Xiaoliu a piece, "Come on, what you like to eat."
Seeing Xiaoliu's disappointed expression, Wen Yuan understood what was going on between them. She sneered coldly: "Mr. Shen, when Xiaoliu was a child, the date core got stuck in her throat when she ate dates, so since then she has never had it again. You don’t eat dates anymore, why? Don’t you know this?”
The man's hand holding the food suddenly stopped. Wen Lingjing had told him about this, but she forgot about it without taking it to heart, "This..."
Seeing his stupid and speechless look for a long time, Wen Yuan felt a headache, but as Xiaoliu's older sister, she couldn't help but remind them, "It's good if two people are in love, but it's also You have to recognize the right person, right Xiaoliu?"
"What Sister Ayuan said is true, and my sister must remember it."
Wen Yuan believed that Xiao Liu was a smart child, so he didn't pay much attention to this matter.
After finishing the meal, Wen Yuan thought that he hadn't bought anything decent for Lin'er yet, so he didn't insist on keeping Xiaoliu and the two together.
But she was still a little worried, and ordered Falcon to follow them and pay attention to the whereabouts of these two people, "Especially how that man treats the sixth princess, you must watch carefully, and report to me if there is any movement."
She and Xiao Liu have been friends since childhood, so it's impossible to just watch her fall into the quagmire.
Falcon followed the order, but who knew that as soon as he walked into a less crowded alley, the man revealed his true colors, "Who did you pretend to be pitiful in front of Wen Yuan just now? I treat you so badly." Not good enough?”
Wen Lingjing did not have such thoughts. She buried her head and did not dare to answer, "This is for you..."
She took out a heavy bag of silver from her space bracelet, "Don't be angry, can I give you whatever you want?"
Shen Xia weighed the money in his hand and thought it was not heavy, so he put on a compassionate look and said, "That's all you have, okay, go back quickly, I still have things to do. "
"What do you want to do?" Wen Lingjing saw the man was about to leave and quickly grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Can't you take me there?"
But the man who was smiling just now because he got the money immediately changed his face, "What does it have to do with you, a woman?! Men have their own things to do, so don't worry so much! Go back by yourself!"
He pulled out the hem of his clothes and quickly left the alley, quickly disappearing from Wen Lingjing's sight.
The girl stared blankly at his leaving figure and stood there for a long time. In the end, she just sighed deeply and returned to the palace alone.
