Chapter 255 Strange(1/2)
"Why are you acting like a child? The Queen Mother still likes you very much." Wen Wan was a little helpless. To be honest, she didn't like meeting the Queen Mother very much, mainly because she hated red tape.
Gao Yeyun pulled Wen Wan's sleeve and said, "That's not true! What I mean is that the Queen Mother's search for you has delayed my time with you."
Wen Wan smiled and said: "Which time did the Queen Mother see me and you didn't go with me? Why did you waste time?"
"That's different. The two of us spend less time together." Gao Yeyun said angrily, "I don't know why the Queen Mother is looking for you this time."
"Can't you find out if you go into the palace and take a look?" Wen Wan changed her clothes and said.
Although Gao Yeyun was dissatisfied, he still followed Wen Wan into the palace.
When she saw Wen Wan, the Queen Mother said: "Look, Yun'er's mouth is so pouty that a bunch of grapes can hang on it."
"No!" Gao Yeyun argued.
Wen Wan smiled and asked: "Queen Mother, I wonder why you are looking for me?"
"It's like this. The Ai family had planned to hold a splendid banquet a long time ago, but then Yun'er fell ill and you two got married, so the matter was shelved. Now that I have some free time, I'd better take care of it as soon as possible.
"
Splendid banquet?
Wen Wan lowered his head and thought about it. Based on the memory of the original owner, he knew that the Splendid Banquet was a banquet prepared by the Queen Mother for the princes long ago, and its purpose was to select concubines.
"So that's what happened. It's a good thing. I just wonder what the Queen Mother needs me to do?" Wen Wan was a little confused, and there was nothing he could do to help.
"It's nothing. Come to the Splendid Banquet in two months. The Ai family believes in your vision. You should also be a consultant!"
The Queen Mother felt that people like Wen Wan had an unmistakable vision.
"The Queen Mother's words are serious. I'm just here to join in the fun. As for the staff, the Queen Mother has better judgment."
Wen Wan feels that this is very similar to the modern talent show, but in ancient times it was about status and men competing for favor, which is really sad.
"Why did Xiao Wan'er go to choose a concubine for the prince?" Gao Yeyun asked, subconsciously not liking the relationship between Wen Wan and Gao Yehua, although he also knew that they had no relationship.
"Now that you have married off all the good girls like Wen Wan, the prince is still single. Can't you ask Wen Wan to be an adviser to the prince now? Yun'er, you are stingy."
The Queen Mother laughed a little.
Wen Wan was a little embarrassed and said: "Ayun, it's not just for His Royal Highness, but also for other princes, isn't it?"
"After all, Wen Wan is knowledgeable and sensible."
The Queen Mother smiled, but she actually wanted to see if Wen Wan would feel resentful if she didn't marry the prince.
"The Queen Mother is favoring Xiao Wan'er again." Gao Yeyun curled his lips.
"The Ai family loves you too, and they also want to take advantage of this splendid banquet to help you marry another concubine."
The Queen Mother smiled. In her opinion, this matter was really normal.
However, Gao Yeyun's expression changed.
For some reason, Wen Wan felt unhappy when he heard this.
"What's wrong, you're not happy?" The Queen Mother looked at Gao Yeyun's face without any joy at all, and then looked at Wen Wan, who looked calm.
"Queen Mother, I don't want any concubines, as long as I have Xiao Wan'er, I will never marry a concubine in my life!"
Gao Yeyun was a little excited.
The Queen Mother glanced at Wen Wan and asked, "Wen Wan, what do you mean?"
Wen Wan wanted to say that she didn't want to. Even if she didn't have feelings for Gao Yeyun, who was obviously her husband, she still didn't want to see her husband having another woman.
Unless Gao Yeyun is willing to divorce herself.
However, in ancient times, divorce was not decided by women.
"I……"
Wen Wan wanted to refuse, but couldn't say the words to refuse. In this era, if you don't follow such rules, it will be your own fault.
Gao Yeyun looked at Wen Wan, looking forward to Wen Wan's answer, but also afraid of Wen Wan's answer.
Last time, Wen Wan said that if he had three wives and four concubines, he would leave her, which meant that he was unwilling to do so.
So, will she persist in front of the Queen Mother?
"Queen Mother, I don't want to deceive you, but no woman would like her husband to have another woman. I don't really want to. Besides, I just got married, but it only lasted a few days, and there is another woman to share it with."
My husband, I am absolutely unwilling to do so."
Wen Wan met the Queen Mother's gaze and said.
The Queen Mother has experienced competition for favor in the harem, so she naturally understands Wen Wan's thoughts. However, in the royal family, such things are inevitable. Besides, it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines.
Accepting that your husband has three wives and four concubines is the standard for a woman to be virtuous or not.
"Wen Wan, every woman doesn't want her husband to have three wives and four concubines. This is normal, but you have to understand that you are in the royal family, even if you are unwilling, you still have to accept such a thing. If Yun'er marries
I hope you can be more generous."
In the eyes of the Queen Mother, Wen Wan has always been generous, and she is a lady, so she can naturally understand and accept this truth.
What the Queen Mother didn't know was that Wen Wan was not a woman from ancient times, let alone such a broad-minded person.
Wen Wan didn't want to agree, but offending the Queen Mother at this time would not do her any good.
Just as he was thinking about replying, he heard Gao Yeyun say: "Royal Grandmother, it's not whether Xiao Wan'er is willing or not, it's my own unwillingness. I don't want any concubines. In this life, I only want Xiao Wan'er.
"
It would be a lie to say that she was not moved. Wen Wan admitted that Gao Yeyun's words at this time really moved her. Regardless of whether he was a fool or not, such words could move her.
"The Ai family is asking about Wen Wan, just listen quietly."
The Queen Mother thought that Gao Yeyun was a fool now and couldn't understand the situation, so she just told Wen Wan everything.
Wen Wan took a deep breath and thought to himself that if he refutes the Queen Mother's face, he will definitely get into a lot of trouble. Anyway, Gao Yeyun will not marry anyone else, so he can just say nice things.
"Queen Mother, if King Yun wants to take a concubine one day, I will definitely not stop him."
I won’t stop him, but I won’t stay by Gao Yeyun’s side anymore.
Wen Wan kept half of it, which could not be considered as deceiving Gao Yeyun, nor was he deceiving the Queen Mother.
Gao Yeyun's face was full of anger and he said: "Xiao Wan'er, are you crazy? Do you want me to take a concubine?"
"Ayun, if you want to get married, I won't stop you. This is your freedom. Besides, I'm just a weak woman. I shouldn't have any say in this matter or help you make a decision, right?
"
Wen Wan couldn't help but feel a twitch in her heart when she saw Gao Yeyun's shocked face and the sullen and sad eyes.
"In my opinion, Wen Wan's idea is very good."
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, feeling that she had seen the right person.
"Huh, I didn't expect that's what you thought!" After Gao Yeyun said this, he walked away angrily without saluting the Queen Mother.
"Ayun!"
"Yun'er!"
Wen Wan and the Queen Mother shouted, but Gao Yeyun had already walked out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, I'm worried about Ayun, and I'd like to ask Your Majesty to let me chase him."
Seeing Gao Yeyun leaving, Wen Wan felt flustered. It seemed that once he left, he would never look back.
"Go quickly!" the Queen Mother said. She did not expect Gao Yeyun to have such a big reaction. It seems that it is better not to marry him a concubine for the time being.
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Wen Wan hurriedly saluted and ran out in a hurry.
Looking at Wen Wan's leaving figure, the Queen Mother was thoughtful.
Regarding Wen Wan's words just now, Gao Yeyun knew that she was not sincere. After all, she could not show selfishness in front of the Queen Mother and was unwilling to let her husband take a concubine.
However, knowing that Wen Wan was not telling the truth, Gao Yeyun still cared. He still couldn't help but get angry, and couldn't help but guess that Wen Wan actually didn't care about his concubine.
All this is just because she is not sure whether Wen Wan likes her.
Gao Yeyun turned around and took a look, wanting to see if Wen Wan was following.
Before he could turn around, he heard Wen Wan shouting from behind: "Ayun! Wait for me!"
Gao Yeyun had a cold face and strode forward again.
Wen Wan ran after him, grabbed Gao Yeyun's hand, panted heavily, and said, "Ayun, the more I call you, the faster you run!"
Seeing Wen Wan's little face flushed from trotting, Gao Yeyun kissed Fangze, but obviously, now was not a good time, and he was still angry with Wen Wan!
Gao Yeyun shook off Wen Wan's hand and looked at Wen Wan coldly, without saying a word.
This was the first time Wen Wan was thrown away by Gao Yeyun with a cold face. I think Gao Yeyun was really angry this time.
"Ayun, don't be angry."
Wen Wan lowered his head and apologized softly, knowing that what he just said had hurt Gao Yeyun.
