The White-haired Queen
Chapter 6 Understanding the Background
Wen Lanyue calmed down and wanted to sort out the situation in Shangxie Country so as to make a development plan.
But she always felt very nervous, as if something was worrying her. She closed her eyes, sat upright, and used her sixth sense to explore. There was a consciousness that kept reminding her to learn about Wen Jingguo's history.
With a thought, a history book by Wen Jingguo appeared in his hand.
Wen Jingguo was founded more than 300 years ago, and its first ruler conquered the world by fighting wars in the east and west, and in the south and the north.
Not long after the founding of the country, the first ruler died due to a recurrence of an old injury, and his son succeeded him as the second ruler. The father was a good warrior who conquered the world, while the son personally guarded the rear and gradually gained the ability to rule the world.
The rulers of all dynasties also pursued the rule of culture, practiced frugality, reduced taxes, encouraged agriculture, and rested for three hundred years. At one time, there was a good story that people did not lock their doors at night and did not pick up lost items on the road.
By the time the last ruler of Wenjing Kingdom ascended the throne, the country's economic development had reached an unprecedented peak.
“When one is well fed and clothed, one thinks of lust; when one is hungry and cold, one desires to steal.” The last ruler saw that under his governance, the country’s development had surpassed that of his ancestors, so he began to seek greater development.
At first, in order to pass down his legacy through the ages, he began to build infrastructure on a large scale. Gradually, in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, he continued to fill the treasury, increased taxes, and planned to build a Yuehua Palace for the unborn princess, erect a Moon-Watching Tower, dig a Moon-Reflecting Lake, and build a Crescent Moon Ridge...
As a result, the national treasury was empty, the officials forced the people to rebel, and he had no choice but to pass the throne to his sworn brother, and then he set himself on fire to quell the civil strife, silence the gossips of the people, save his family, and achieve a peaceful transition of state power.
Seeing this, Wen Lanyue was full of admiration for the last king. Between two evils, choose the lesser one. This king was quite good at weighing the pros and cons. She couldn't help but check his name - Wen Shenxing.
Seeing this name, Wen Lanyue's heart ached. She sighed in her heart, "What a pity, the name makes people cautious but they don't act cautiously, and they have failed to live up to the earnest expectations of their parents..."
The next day, there was a knock on the door. Wen Lanyue touched her newly combed hair and said, "Come in!"
The pink-dressed woman Hong He flashed in, and seeing that only the Queen Mother was there, she strode in front of Wen Lanyue and asked anxiously, "Queen Mother, I heard from Bilian that you have lost your memory."
Wen Lanyue pursed her lips and said calmly, "I hit my head, got a concussion, and have temporary amnesia."
After saying that, he added, "Only the three of us know about this, so there's no need to make it public. You and Bilian just need to remind me of the strange behavior of this palace."
Hong He asked anxiously, "Madam has told me that Miss must report anything to Madam. Today is the day for visiting Madam. Is Miss healthy? Can she still visit Madam?"
Wen Lanyue frowned and asked, "Miss? Madam? Which madam?"
Hong He said in surprise, "You are the young lady, and Madam is your mother. Usually, we call you the Queen Mother, but when we talk about Madam, we call you the young lady. This is also your order."
Wen Lanyue was also a little surprised. She still had a mother? Was her sixth super sense skill in this life becoming less and less reliable? She had suffered so many setbacks when exploring new skills before, but now she had no idea. After traveling through time, even her previous skills were unstable?
No wonder in the 21st century, people say that the sixth sense is accurate and also inaccurate. If you follow your feelings like this, you will suffer a great loss.
Wen Lanyue blinked her big eyes a few times and said innocently, "Then quickly tell me about my family situation."
Hong He shook her head, sighed, and said, "Queen Mother, you were originally the princess of Wen Jingguo..."
When Wen Lanyue heard that she was the princess of Wen Jingguo, she immediately shouted, "Stop..." Her sixth super sense told her that she was the last princess who had not yet been born.
Hong He immediately asked happily: "Queen Mother, have you remembered it?"
Wen Lanyue rubbed his temples, shook his head and said, "It seems that there are some pictures in my mind. Please continue."
Hong He continued, "Today was the day I went to visit my wife, and it was also the day my wife promised to answer your questions."
Wen Lanyue frowned and asked, "Resolve doubts? Resolve what doubts?"
Hong He smiled and said, "You have been asking Madam the reason for your gray hair since you were a child, and Madam promised to tell you when you are able to take charge of your own affairs. When you were a court lady, you asked Madam, and she said the time was not right. After you were made Queen Mother, Madam promised to tell you after she finished her national mourning."
Wen Lanyue smoothed her white hair with her hands and said with a smile, "Okay. Then quickly tell me about the members of your family, and we'll set off after you're done."
Hong He nodded and said, "In the capital, you are the only relative of yours who is related by blood to you. There are two maids serving you. One is your wet nurse and the other is your teaching maid. They are both helpless, so they have been serving you all the time."
Wen Lanyue thought for a moment and asked, "What are their characteristics? How do I usually call them?"
Speaking of these familiar and intimate people, Hong He's tone unconsciously became much more natural, and she said: "The wet nurse is a little fat, you can just call her wet nurse, she is responsible for taking care of your daily life. The teaching nanny is thin, you usually call her master, she is very good at both civil and martial arts."
After a pause, Hong He said playfully, "If you don't plan to tell Madam that they were injured and lost their memory, it will be easier to hide it from Madam and the nurse, but you must be more careful in front of your master, for fear of being exposed."
Wen Lanyue thought about it for a while. It seemed that this master was very smart. He was afraid that there would be many loopholes and complications. So he said, "It's enough for the three of us to know about this plan. In this case, we can hide it from them for a long time. If they notice something, tell them. If they don't notice anything, don't mention it, so as not to make them worry."
Hong He said happily, "Miss, you are wise! The three ladies love you very much. As long as you are healthy, act coquettishly and act cute, nothing will be a problem."
Wen Lanyue was stunned when she heard this. Acting cute and coquettish? In the 21st century, modern women can live like a team. Why do they need to act cute and coquettish? It's difficult.
By the way, before I joined the army in my father’s place in my first life, I often acted coquettishly and cutely to my father.
When she fell, she hugged her father's thighs and asked him to hold her and lift her up high; when she didn't want to embroider, she pulled her father's clothes and asked him to take her out to play; when her father was weak, she joined the army in his place, disguised as a man, and when her father didn't recognize her, she only got him to go because of her coquettish behavior...
As parents, we are always reluctant to blame others. When a child is injured or loses his memory, the parents will feel heartbroken. Even if the child's behavior is different, he will act coquettishly and cutely, and the matter will be over in just one day.
Thinking of this, Wen Lanyue ordered: "Then hurry up and get ready. We will set off in half an hour."
Hong He said, "Everything else has already been prepared. It all depends on what else you have planned, young lady."
