Chapter 76 (2/2)
Wen Wan’s father, Wen Yi, was just a jailer that worked in the capital’s prison . After Wen Wan married into his family, he had used his connections to promote his father-in-law all the way up to a sixth-rank official . Wen Wan had already been satisfied with this, but because old madame had used Wen Wan’s background to criticize her, he didn’t have any other options . He had to think about promoting Wen Yi further up .
But
.
But after this incident, there was no chance the emperor would ever agree . He valued a woman’s morality and conduct the most . Last time, part of the reason that he had angrily rebuked Sangyu was truly because she had acted too outrageously . And clearly, Wen Wan had acted even worse than Sangyu this time .
Ning Yuxuan felt that the emperor could see that he truly loved Wen Wan . And thus, unlike with Sangyu, he wasn’t instructing him to abolish Wen Wan’s position .
After suffering through a long lecture, Ning Yuxuan went to the ting yu xuan to look for someone .
After Ji Man followed old madame to the ting yu xuan, they started unpacking . Old madame would be staying in the main hall and she would be staying in the side hall . The group of servant girls would be staying in a small side room . Right after they had finished settling in and old madame was speaking with n.o.ble Consort Nie in the main hall, someone came over .
Ji Man didn’t react properly by kneeling down to salute until Muxu tugged her sleeve . Because she didn’t clearly see if the dragons on the robe had four-claws or five-claws, she didn’t know if it was the crown prince or the emperor that had come . She didn’t dare to call out the wrong greeting, so she only quietly kneeled .
“Is n.o.ble Consort Nie and Old Madame Ning inside?” The crown prince looked at the person kneeling on the ground and asked with quite a bit of interest .
“Yes,” Ji Man said with her head lowered .
The snow had just stopped . The crown prince stood in place and didn’t seem as if
seem as if he wanted to go inside . Instead, he stretched a hand out and helped Nie Sangyu stand up .
Shocked, Ji Man’s gaze swiftly glanced at the dragons on his robe . Thank G.o.d, it was four-claws . This person was the crown prince .
She wasn’t overthinking . There were too many examples of an emperor forcibly seizing married women in history . With no one to manage the emperor from above, past emperors were all lawless and out-of-control . But, the crown prince was different . The emperor controlled him . No matter what, he wouldn’t dare to act recklessly .
Last time, she had felt uneasy just hearing his movements when he had visited the marquis’s residence’s southern courtyard . And now, this grand crown prince was actually helping her stand up . Ji Man felt chills going up her back .
“I heard from Yuxuan that you wrote the poem in Luoyan PaG.o.da,” The crown prince moved closer to her and quietly said . “This has greatly helped this prince . What should I reward you with?”
Ji Man took a step back and respectfully said, “It’s because the marquis has instructed me well . Your Highness, please just reward him . ”
Zhao Zhe raised his eyebrows, looked at this well-behaved woman, chuckled, and said, “How could I have the opportunity to reward Marquis Moyu? He’s only below one person and above a thousand others . He has countless beauties . His life is more comfortable and unrestrained than mine . ”
Ji Man felt that this crown prince was somewhat dislikable . Why was he standing so close to her while he was talking? He was completely lacking in manners .
Chapter 076 out of 513 The crown prince s playboy nature 1 If old madame really went to the palace to live, could Wen Wan s life in the marquis s residence be good The answer was no . The carriage directly went past the crowd and headed towards the palace, and yet Wen Wan was angrily sitting at her dressing table . Marquis Moyu was standing nearby . His expression was very ugly, but Wen Wan pretended that she didn t see it and sobbed in aggrieved tone, You said you would treat me well and wouldn t let me suffer any grievances, so why do I have to be the one that apologizes to her every time This was the first time that Ning Yuxuan felt that Wen Wan was immature and unreasonable . She refused to admit her mistake . It didn t even occur to her that causing this type of trouble wouldn t benefit her at all . Besides, what s wrong with the palace There s delicious food and drink in the palace . She ll be treated very well in there . What exactly are you worried about Wen Wan glared at Ning Yuxuan through the mirror . Marquis Moyu rubbed the spot between his eyebrows and said in a low voice, You were the one that was wrong to begin with . It was already so late in the day, but you still did something that would arouse suspicion by being so intimate with Mingjie . How could mother not be angry He was the one that came over of his own initiative . I didn t invite him . Why are you blaming me Wen Wan became even angrier . Tanxiang and Changshan were also there . Why are you treating me as if I was fickle woman It was impossible to talk sense with her . Ning Yuxuan s face finally sunk . He coldly harrumphed, then turned around and stepped past the doorway . It was still snowing outside, but he didn t go back inside to take an umbrella with him . Instead, he directly returned to the western courtyard . Wen Wan was shocked . She stood up and took two steps outside to chase after him, but seeing that Ning Yuxuan didn t even look back, her eyes became red again . She had just wanted to make him angry . She knew that he would be in the garden at that time, so she had Tanxiang lead Ning Mingjie over . How could she have known that old madame would be in the garden and be so furious Wen Wan felt that she was totally an innocent victim . She turned around and went to her bed to cry . Anyhow, Yuxuan loved her dearly . In a few days, after his mother was comfortably settled in the palace, he would probably forgive her, right n.o.ble Consort Nie had regained the emperor s favor . The emperor looked after her in every possible way, which made many people s eyes turn red with jealousy in the harem . She had simply said she wanted old madame to come to the palace and keep her company, and the emperor had marked off a ting yu xuan that was near Ninglu Palace for old madame and Sangyu to stay . T N Ting yu xuan literally means a listening and viewing rain building . It s building that has windows and a balcony view over a lake or pond . Below is a picture of a simple one . The gossip traveled quickly in the palace Marquis Moyu had married a shrew that forced his mother out of the marquis s residence and into the palace . Old madame wasn t an ordinary mother . She was a first rank lady . While clutching her handkerchief, she cried in front of the emperor . And so, the emperor summoned Marquis Moyu to admonish him . You previously had me promote Wen Yi s rank on the basis that he had taught his daughter well and he has a good moral character, The emperor said as he looked at Ning Yuxuan with s.h.i.+ning eyes . As it turns out, the good daughter that he taught was a woman like this . Marquis Moyu realized that his mother had lodged a complaint with the emperor in a fit of pique . His father had die in a battle and the emperor had always felt that he owed something to the Ning Clan because of this . Thus, the emperor was naturally often willing to take his side . However, if there was an argument between him and his mother, as an elder, the emperor had to side with his mother and protect her . This subject has failed in seeing the truth, He slowly kneeled down and said . Wen Wan s father, Wen Yi, was just a jailer that worked in the capital s prison . After Wen Wan married into his family, he had used his connections to promote his father in law all the way up to a sixth rank official . Wen Wan had already been satisfied with this, but because old madame had used Wen Wan s background to criticize her, he didn t have any other options .
