Facing Xiao Yuchen's doubts, Wen Jin calmly took out the piano score she had made a special trip home to get.
"This is my mother's relic."
She put the music score into Xiao Yuchen's hand, stood up and thanked the emperor, the queen mother and others.
Xiao Yuchen opened the music score, and the song on the title page came into view. "Sending Love to My Mother" was the song Wen Jin had just played. The paper has turned yellow, and some of the ink marks on the music score have faded. A corner of the music score even had rough edges from being read through.
It can be seen that the person who collects this music score often reads it and cherishes it very much.
Xiao Yuchen raised his eyes and looked at Wen Jin blankly... She seemed to be hiding endless secrets, and no matter how close he got, he couldn't figure them out.
This made him want to find out more and more!
"I heard about your righteous deeds, and everyone in the Taiyuan Hospital also spontaneously thanked you." The emperor looked at Wen Jin with admiration, "If Judge Jiang Yuan knows that his descendants have such a big heart, he will definitely be happy."
"Although he made a mistake back then, it was not a heinous crime. Now he has been in exile for many years. If he has known his mistakes, he is willing to change his ways. It is time to call him back!"
When Wen Jin heard this, his heart felt hot.
She kept mentioning her grandfather and even asked the Queen Mother for the Jiang family's mansion.
Just to make these people in power miss their grandfather.
In the memory of the original owner, the happiest and most carefree time of childhood was spent at Jiang's house.
Jiang's uncles, aunts, and cousins were all very kind to her.
Jiang Yuan's medical skills and ethics are widely praised... Such people really should not be persecuted because of "party strife".
She originally planned to take it slowly, first to get the Jiang family's house back, and then to create a campaign for free clinics and porridge for the poor at the back door of the house.
Unexpectedly, the emperor made her wish come true in one step!
"Thank you, father!" Wen Jin knelt down and saluted sincerely.
"You have done a great job in curing the Queen Mother, and your piano skills are amazing today. Besides the Jiang family's mansion, what other reward do you want? Just ask for it!"
The emperor's dragon heart was overjoyed, and naturally the rewards were generous.
The concubines and sisters-in-law who were around to watch the fun and feel secretly happy were now extremely jealous!
This Wen Jin is simply lucky! During the last Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, she won the favor of Concubine Zhuang, and the emperor had already given her a lot of rewards.
Today she dominates the limelight again! Why did she have to catch up on all the good things alone?
She was summoned to her maternal grandfather's family to return to the capital, and given a mansion to the Jiang family. Now she was asked to ask for what she wanted?
The emperor's heart is too biased!
"Wen Jin is just doing his duty. He can be filial to the imperial grandmother, contribute a small amount to the imperial hospital, and get a mansion full of childhood memories... My wife is very satisfied and has nothing else to ask for." Wen Jinfu replied. .
The sisters-in-law around them all pouted.
Some even couldn't help but whisper, "Isn't it satisfying? She took everything, and her son just became the crown prince! This is the first time in the history of Daliang! If you want anything more, you are really greedy!"
The emperor heard this and was about to speak.
The Queen Mother said from the side, "This child is sincere, and when she says she is satisfied, that means she is truly satisfied, and it is not a polite word.
"She spoke outright in the Aijia Palace. At first, the Aijia was angry, but later I realized that the girl is a real person, not a fool.
"Listening to her music, I also know that she suffered a lot in the past few years. Your Majesty, please reward her well and don't treat her badly."
When the queen heard this, her expression immediately turned bad.
The emperor was partial enough, but he never expected the queen mother to be even more partial!
The queen glanced at Wen Jin and Xiao Yuchen with dark eyes... King Huai's move was really brilliant! If he didn’t have the desire to seize the direct descendant! The ghosts all laughed!
The emperor was filial, and he didn't know what to reward, so he rewarded Wen Jin with several large boxes of east pearls, tourmalines, luminous pearls... and corals, tortoise shells, and jade Ruyi...
Everyone came with the intention of watching the fun and left with their hearts pickled by vinegar.
Only the people around Wen Jin were the happiest.
"Let's go to Prince Huai's Mansion to celebrate today. We won't come back until we're drunk!" For probably the first time, Xiao Yuchen regarded Wen Jin's relatives as his own.
He warmly invited Wen Shengjun to be a guest at Prince Huai's Mansion.
Wen Shengjun couldn't resist the kindness, so he had no choice but to go to Prince Huai's Mansion.
…
At the wine table, Wen Shengjun couldn't help but be curious.
"Jin'er, you play Grandma's music so well! I've been practicing, but I can't match Grandma's artistic conception.
"I didn't expect that what you played today would take me back to the past... as if I was still alive."
Wen Shengjun said, his eyes burning as he thought of his late mother.
He raised his head and downed a glass of wine, pretending to be in tears from the wine.
"You must have practiced a lot in the past six years, right?" Wen Shengjun sighed.
Xiao Yuchen immediately pricked up his ears and waited for Wen Jin's answer.
He had heard Yu'er say that she had never practiced piano in the past six years! Where did the improvement in piano art come from?
"Yes, I practice every day, in the morning, at night, when I miss my grandma, and when I feel like I can't stand it anymore.
"I remember when I had morning sickness and when I was giving birth to Yu'er, this song accompanied me through the most difficult time."
Wen Jin said calmly, her eyes were gentle and her tone was calm, as if she was telling someone else's story.
There was a moment of silence on the wine table.
Everyone looked at Xiao Yuchen with profound meaning.
"Sister, let me toast you. The past is past!" Sheng Tianyue raised her glass and drank it down in one gulp.
Wen Jin smiled and took a sip of wine.
"How can you practice if you don't have a piano?" Xiao Yuchen couldn't help but ask despite the pressure-filled gazes around him.
Wen Jin's smile became brighter and brighter, making her whole body seem to shine.
But her words stung people even more.
"Don't you know, Your Majesty, that there is a kind of practice called mind training?
"Others can trap your body. But your heart, your soul, is always free. Without a harp, you can imagine a harp. You cannot pluck the strings with your hands, but you can pluck the strings in your heart with your thoughts.
"Although I have been in Wutong Courtyard for six years, my heart has long since been put to death."
It's so quiet that one can't breathe.
Xiao Yuchen looked at Wen Jin blankly.
She was so close to him, within reach.
But it seemed that she was far away from him, her heart and him were separated by thousands of rivers and mountains.
"Yes... I'm sorry." Xiao Yuchen murmured.
He raised his head and drank a glass of wine. The fine wine actually had a bitter taste, and it slid down his throat burningly.
This night, everyone except Wen Jin was very drunk.
Mr. Sheng fell asleep under the wine table. Sheng Tianyue put her arms around his neck and called him "big brother".
Wen Shengjun looked at the double-shadowed Xiao Yuchen and said, "His Royal Highness, Prince Huai, even though you are a prince, there is nothing I can do to you today! In the future, I will make you regret for bullying my sister!"
Xiao Yuchen smiled bitterly, "I already regret it...Brother, please help me, Wen Jin refuses to forgive me, how can I make her forgive me?"
"Bah!" Wen Shengjun almost spat in his face, "You think so! She has suffered for six years because of you, and you have to pay for it for six years!"
Wen Jin looked at a group of drunkards, held his forehead and shook his head, "Come here, help the prince back to the study, and send the others to the guest room."
"No, no, I have to go back to Wen's house. Tomorrow Mr. Qi has to take a teaching exam, so I have to go to the academy early in the morning!"
Wen Shengjun was so drunk that he still remembered things about the academy.
Wen Jin couldn't keep him, so he had to tell Chang Feng and Shi Shi to take good care of him and make him hangover soup when he got back to avoid having a headache tomorrow.
If Wen Jin knew that something would happen to Wen Shengjun that night... she would never let her eldest brother leave the palace under any circumstances!
