Jiao Wanwan quickly gave up all the messy thoughts and concentrated on sketching out the plane.
Chu Yunfei stood beside her, looking more and more confused. Is this a chicken?
"This is the airplane." Jiao Wanwan said, and wrote the word "airplane" next to the sketch, and then pointed to the cabin, "This is the cabin. There are hundreds of seats inside, which is where people are carried. …”
Chu Yunfei was silent. She felt that Jiao Wanwan was talking about fantasy. What the hell is the cabin?
Plane, not flying chicken?
In other words, what can carry people is not a huge bird, but a tool with a seat in its belly... similar to a carriage, but can fly high into the sky?
When Jiao Wanwan saw her confused expression, he suddenly felt that he was just too full to talk to an ancient person about this kind of thing.
She quickly put down the sketch and said with some shame: "Actually, it all originated from a dream I had."
Chu Yunfei was surprised: "Dream?"
"Yes." Jiao Wanwan nodded, "I don't know why I dream of these bizarre things. It's just that the scene in the dream is so real that I can't help but want to find someone to share it with. If the princess really can't understand, don't I thought about it, because I’m not sure whether such a thing really exists.”
Chu Yunfei looked subtle, then nodded slowly, not sure whether he believed her explanation.
The palace attendant came in with some snacks and said respectfully: "These are some snacks just made in the small kitchen. Please try them, the Crown Princess and Princess Jin'an."
"Thank you." Jiao Wanwan thanked her politely, and then looked at Chu Yunfei, "Crown Princess, can you tell me what the temperament of the woman that the Queen Mother wants to marry to the prince is like? This time, the Queen Mother will take back her life and treat her Will it cause too much harm?”
Chu Yunfei's expression paused and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at her.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Chu Yunfei pondered for a moment, "The Qin family may be involved in a crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and it is currently under investigation. When the Ministry of Punishment finds out the truth, they may be punished, so Miss Qin will It doesn’t matter that they will be hurt, because it’s hard to say whether they can save the lives of the entire clan.”
Collaboration with the enemy and treason?
Jiao Wanwan was startled, her hand holding the tea cup couldn't help but tighten, and an ominous feeling emerged in her heart.
The tea cup seems a little hot.
She put the tea cup aside in a slight panic and rubbed her fingertips gently. For some reason, she suddenly felt that the marriage the Queen Mother had given to Prince Jin'an was not that simple.
Taifu Qin is a noble and famous person, how could he be related to the collaborators?
Did the Queen Mother have some ulterior motives in marrying the granddaughter of the Qin family to King Jin'an?
Jiao Wanwan thought of all the cases in the past that involved collaboration with the enemy and rebellion. In which case were there not countless cases involved and blood flowing like rivers?
Some of those who were implicated were inexplicably convicted without even knowing what was going on. King Jin'an had stayed in his fief for these years. Although he only focused on matters in his fief, he would inevitably not be used or framed by someone with ulterior motives. Without even knowing it, he was involved in some crimes of collaborating with the enemy and conspiring to rebel.
Such as this marriage.
If the prince hadn't returned to Beijing in time to request the emperor and the queen mother to take back their orders, wouldn't it have been inevitable for the couple to be involved with the guilty minister?
Jiao Wanwan's palms were wet with sweat.
Whose idea was it to grant the marriage? The Queen Mother, the Emperor, or the Prince?
She raised her eyes to look at Chu Yunfei, and her reason told her that a prince who led troops all year round and was dedicated would not have the intention to frame her royal brother.
But under the imperial power, there are endless conspiracies and intrigues. In order to stabilize his position, who dares to be sure that people's hearts are good?
Suppressing her uneasiness, Jiao Wanwan smiled a little: "I still want to get to know Miss Qin's personality. I wonder if the Crown Princess can have a chat?"
Chu Yunfei looked at her thoughtfully and said after considering, "Before the Crown Prince became the Crown Prince, Miss Qin tried to persuade me to give up my position as the Princess."
What?
Jiao Wanwan was stunned. The first thought that flashed through her mind was, how could ladies in ancient times be so shameless and come to her home like a mistress to force her first wife to leave?
It was really her first time seeing it.
"This is too ridiculous." Jiao Wanwan frowned, "It simply refreshes human cognition."
Chu Yunfei understood the first sentence but not the second. She nodded and said, "I think it's ridiculous too."
"What happened next?" Jiao Wanwan felt that knowing such a woman would not give up easily, because they are much thicker-skinned than ordinary people, so she eagerly wanted to know what happened to her later, "Did she design to frame the Crown Princess? Or use a beauty trick to seduce His Highness the Crown Prince?"
The corner of Chu Yunfei's mouth twitched: "I can't say it didn't happen, but it would be a bit long to explain it in detail. In short, she was later given a marriage to the heir apparent of Prince Rong, but something unexpected happened in the middle, and the marriage was cancelled. Later, it was The Queen Mother made the decision to marry her to King Jin'an, but now she has withdrawn."
Jiao Wanwan fell silent, suddenly not knowing what to say.
For a lady whose engagement was canceled twice in a row, it would be a little difficult for her to get married in the future. She knew that this matter had nothing to do with her, but as a woman, she still sympathized with the ancients who couldn't help themselves.
Especially under the imperial power, the marriages of women from aristocratic families are usually tied to power and interests, and it is difficult for them to make their own decisions.
And Miss Qin's behavior of doing this three times and four times makes it really hard to believe that her grandfather was the emperor of the dynasty.
Jiao Wanwan pursed her lips: "My prince is actually a very pedantic and timid person. He knows his identity and responsibilities and never interacts with any ministers in the court."
Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his lips and said with a smile: "The prince didn't like to deal with the ministers in the past. He always felt that they had too many thoughts. They were either speculating about this or thinking about that all day long, which made him very annoyed."
Jiao Wanwan's brows moved slightly. Does the Crown Princess mean that the Crown Prince is simple-minded and won't make random suspicions?
Alas, she was also very annoyed.
Sure enough, she was tired of talking to the ancients. She kept guessing but didn't dare to ask directly. After all, the prince was the future emperor. Could she tell the future queen, "My husband has no ambitions? Please don't kill him in the future."
Forget it, we might as well talk about airplanes.
Jiao Wanwan picked up the tea cup again, took a sip quietly, and secretly thought about changing the topic to a safer topic.
Suddenly, a palace official’s salute sounded outside: “Your Highness, the Crown Prince.”
Jiao Wanwan looked up and saw Rong Cang stepping into the palace door. She quickly stood up and said goodbye: "Crown Princess, I'm going back first."
Rong Cang glanced at her: "King Jin'an is waiting for you outside the East Palace Gate."
Jiao Wanwan said thank you: "I'll come back tomorrow to talk to the Crown Princess."
Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "Princess, walk slowly."
Jiao Wanwan bowed and walked out without looking back. His steps were so fast that he seemed to be running away.
Rong Cang walked to Chu Yunfei and sat down next to her, gently caressing her belly: "What did you talk about with her?"
