Chapter 403: Princess Lu Jin Wants to Cooperate
When Shi Wanyue came back, she saw Wen Zhimiao sitting there seriously listening to people praising her Phoenix.
Those individual students are still working hard to write poems to praise it.
Chen Yu followed behind Shi Wanyue. She looked at the scene and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Wen Zhimiao sat lazily in his seat, supporting his head with one hand.
Her cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were half closed and her face had no expression. She would only applaud when she heard particularly amazing verses of poetry.
Seeing Shi Wanyue coming back, those lazy eyes instantly brightened up.
Shi Wanyue met her eyes and seemed to see a silent accusation.
She walked silently to Wen Zhimiao, bent down slightly and whispered in her ear: "Your Highness, have you drunk too much?"
Wen Zhimiao looked at her and shook his head: "No."
She muttered quietly, "I'm just a little tipsy, how can I be considered drunk? Nonsense."
Shi Wanyue looked at her and found that her consciousness was indeed not that confused.
"Do you want to continue listening? Or do you want to listen to what I just did?" Shi Wanyue asked her with a smile.
Wen Zhimiao sat up straight, and then looked at the scholars who were racking their brains to think of how to write poems that she would praise: "I still have something to do, you guys play first."
After saying that, he stood up and walked away with a serious face.
Everyone looked at her and Shi Wanyue's departing backs, and for a moment many people couldn't help but wonder, could something have happened?
Wen Zhimiao stopped only after he was out of everyone's sight. He stood there waiting for Shi Wanyue, stretching out his hand as if waiting for her to come and hold his hand.
Shi Wanyue looked at her childish appearance and couldn't help curling her lips. She walked over and held her hand: "Why did you drink so much?"
"Not much, just a little bit." Wen Zhimiao explained in a low voice.
Shi Wanyue was too lazy to argue with her and just held her hand: "Go back to the room?"
Wen Zhimiao nodded obediently: "Go back."
"It's cold outside."
If Shi Wanyue's hand had not been warm and even hot, she would have believed Wen Zhimiao's lies.
But knowing Wen Zhimiao's personality, Shi Wanyue did not expose her lies, but just reached out and took her hand and led her towards the bedroom.
She didn't live in the East Palace all the time, but she still had a bedroom.
After returning to the palace, Wen Zhimiao immediately hugged her and refused to give in: "Where did you go, sister? I couldn't find you when I came back."
When Shi Wanyue heard her question, her heart softened for a moment.
"Chen Yu asked me if I wanted to play a game of chess, so I went. It's only an hour. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Wen Zhimiao snorted: "No matter what, you left me and didn't tell me."
Shi Wanyue reached out and pinched her cheek: "Don't be unreasonable."
"Then what did you say?" Wen Zhimiao hugged Shi Wanyue and lay down on the couch. The two of them squeezed on the couch without feeling crowded.
"Chen Yu said thank you His Highness for helping Dama this time."
"I didn't do it, why should you thank me?" Wen Zhimiao couldn't help laughing.
"I told her that it was not His Highness who did it, and she seemed very surprised and unbelievable." Shi Wanyue said with a smile.
"I have explained it to Her Highness, but I don't know whether she believes it or not." Shi Wanyue said with a chuckle.
"And then?" Wen Zhimiao didn't think that the two of them just talked about this.
"Chen Yu said that Dama wants to cooperate with you. As long as you help her ascend the throne, Lu Jin will no longer block Tianqi's journey to the west for trade." Shi Wanyue said what Chen Yu expressed to her today.
Wen Zhimiao sighed and said, "I don't have to go through Lujin. It's an old trade route. After so many years, I don't even know how many countries are left on that route."
This is true. Even if the old country on that trade route still existed, it probably changed dynasties just like Tianqi.
"But Lu Jin's path is still easier to take." Shi Wanyue said in a gentle voice.
"But if Dama is just sincere, there is really no need to go there. It's not impossible for Hu Yan to go there. Now that Hu Yan has taken over the city of Beirong, it's not impossible for him to take the new trade route."
"That's right." Wen Zhimiao responded stickyly.
"That's all." Shi Wanyue poked Wen Zhimiao's cheek and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. Go find the generals yourself. Can't I go play chess with them?"
Wen Zhimiao hummed and moaned, still looking unreasonable.
Shi Wanyue kissed the corner of her mouth and Wen Zhimiao stopped whining.
"Do you still need to go out and entertain those people? There are so many people coming today, it's not good to just sit there idle, right?" Shi Wanyue reminded her.
"I know, I'll just rest for a while. It'll be dinner time soon, and I must go out." Wen Zhimiao said in a low voice.
"I need to drink some sobering soup." Wen Zhimiao sat up and said, supporting his chin.
Shi Wanyue hugged her waist from behind: "Okay, then let Xiangnan go and prepare?"
"Yeah." Wen Zhimiao rubbed his cheeks, which were also hot.
The two of them got up from the couch. Shi Wanyue asked Xiangnan to prepare a hangover soup, and then came back to help Wen Zhimiao tidy up her clothes.
Her hair was also a little messy, at least Shi Wanyue found it a little unbearable.
After I tidied my clothes, the hangover soup arrived.
Wen Zhimiao pinched her nose and drank it all. She really didn't like drinking these things, but she had to drink them.
After drinking it, Wen Zhimiao quickly rinsed his mouth to make the bad taste much lighter.
The two of them returned to the bustling crowd again. Those people were no different from when they left. Some were still drinking, some were still reciting poems.
Seeing Wen Zhimiao coming back, everyone wanted to come over.
But Wen Zhimiao had already shown off enough and now just wanted to end the feeling quickly.
At the beginning of the dinner, Shi Wanyue sat next to Wen Zhimiao, and the others sat down in order. Shi Quan did not come today. I heard that he seemed to be sick, perhaps not used to the cold in the north.
There was nothing special at the dinner, and it started drizzling outside when the party ended.
The crowd gradually left, and the bustling East Palace returned to tranquility. Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou were still in the palace. Shi Wanyue and Shi Guanchao said they would go back tonight. After everyone else left, Shi Wanyue and He Yuanyao left together.
Yun Jiuzhao was still in the Taoist temple, which meant that Wen Zhimiao had to stay alone in the palace tonight.
There was a lot to do in the afternoon, so Shi Wanyue didn't ask.
As I was about to leave, I suddenly remembered something and asked, "When will my sister be back?"
"Well? Sister won't be back today." Wen Zhimiao was still drunk and conscious, but her head was still a little dizzy and her reactions were a little slow.
Shi Wanyue nodded and said to her softly, "Go back to the palace to wash up and have some rest."
Wen Zhimiao nodded obediently: "Yes."
Shi Wanyue and He Yuanyao walked together. When they arrived at the palace gate and saw the carriage, Shi Wanyue stopped and said, "Ayao, you go back first."
"Huh? Wanyue is not going back?" He Yuanyao asked.
"My sister is not going back to the palace today. His Majesty and the Queen are not here either. Miaomiao is alone and she is drinking. I'd better keep her company."
He Yuanyao scratched his head and felt that Yi Ye should indeed accompany him.
"Okay, then I'll go back by myself. Actually, you don't have to send me out." No matter how dumb He Yuanyao was, she understood that Shi Wanyue wanted to send her out.
Shi Wanyue smiled and said, "The East Palace is still a long way from the palace gate. You might be bored if you go alone. If you don't want to wait for me, you can go with Gesang and the others."
He Yuanyao waved her hand: "Then our friendship is still a little deeper. There is no need to do this in the future."
Shi Wanyue chuckled and said, "Okay, go back early."
After watching He Yuanyao's carriage go away, Shi Wanyue turned around and headed towards the Zhangtai Palace.
