Wanwan is not Wanwan: Who will spoil you after you are reborn?

Chapter 501 Are You Really Willing to Give It Up?

Emperor Tianchen was ultimately unable to drink the osmanthus wine as he wished.

Jiang Baitong refused to give it to him no matter what.

"This old servant wants to keep it for the emperor's eldest grandson, otherwise I will be too embarrassed to see the empress in the future."

Emperor Tianchen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "I think you old thing are too embarrassed to see me now."

He wanted to pick up a cup and smash it over, but found that the cup next to him had already been smashed out.

This old servant is really amazing. His courage grows with his age.

However, when he heard the words "Emperor's eldest grandson", the girl's figure appeared in his mind.

"Send someone to guard the palace gate, and have Shen Wanwan come to the Yangxin Palace to see me first."

……

After Shen Wanwan came out of the princess's mansion, she did not go back to Xie's mansion with Xie Leqing. Instead, she took the carriage prepared for her by Gu Beichen and entered the palace.

At the palace gate, the young eunuch saw Shen Wanwan getting off the carriage from the Prince of Qin's mansion and hurried forward to salute, "Your servant has been ordered to wait here for Miss Shen. The emperor said that you should go to the Yangxin Palace first."

Shen Wanwan was surprised, but remained calm. "Okay, please lead the way, eunuch."

The eunuch took Shen Wanwan out of the Yangxin Palace.

Jiang Baitong was waiting at the entrance to the main hall. He saw Shen Wanwan approaching from afar and quickly walked over to greet her. "Oh, Miss Shen is here. The Emperor said there's no need to announce your arrival. Please follow me into the hall."

Shen Wanwan nodded at him, and the two of them walked towards the main hall door, one in front and the other behind.

After taking just two steps, Jiang Baitong suddenly turned around and said to the young eunuch, "Hurry up and go to the imperial kitchen to see if the lotus cake prepared for Miss Shen is ready."

The young eunuch turned around and left in a hurry.

Shen Wanwan asked doubtfully, "Eunuch, what is lotus cake..."

"The Emperor had it prepared. I heard from His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin that you would go directly to the palace after leaving the Princess's Mansion. Originally, it was to be sent to the Cining Palace, but you were summoned to the Yangxin Palace first.

"It's already past lunchtime, you must be hungry. Eat some lotus cakes first. After the emperor has finished his questions, you can go to the Cining Palace for dinner.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has specifically instructed the Imperial Kitchen to keep a portion of lunch warm. It will be delivered to you upon your arrival at the Cining Palace."

Shen Wanwan felt warm in her heart, "Is the prince in the Cining Palace?"

Jiang Baitong shook his head. "He went to the Cining Palace after leaving the Yangxin Palace, but I don't know whether he is still there now."

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the main hall. They fell silent, stepped over the threshold and walked into the hall.

Emperor Tianchen had just finished reading a memorial when he noticed something and looked towards the door.

"Is Miss Wanwan here?"

Emperor Tianchen put down the memorial in his hand and waved towards Shen Wanwan, "No need for formalities, please sit down."

Shen Wanwan did not kneel down, but bowed to Emperor Tianchen, then walked to a chair and sat down.

After Shen Wanwan sat down, Emperor Tianchen was not in a hurry to speak.

The emperor didn't say anything, and Shen Wanwan didn't know what to say. She could only sit quietly in the chair and wait.

For a moment, the hall was unusually quiet.

After Jiang Baitong led Shen Wanwan into the hall, he turned and walked into the side hall next door. Not long after, he returned to the main hall with tea and snacks in his hands.

"I just asked Xiao Donggua to check on the lotus cakes. I didn't expect that the cakes would be delivered right after he left."

Jiang Baitong placed the tea and cakes on the table next to Shen Wanwan and glanced up at Emperor Tianchen. "Our Prince Qin's affection for Miss Shen is truly enviable. It's just like the affection the Emperor had for the Empress back then."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanwan looked up and glanced at Emperor Tianchen.

As the ruler of Nanyao Kingdom, Emperor Tianchen is qualified.

After inheriting the throne, he turned the tide and led the Nan Yao Kingdom from the brink of extinction to a strong and secure position again; from poverty and backwardness to gradually reversing the decline and changing the situation, now the people are rich and the army is strong; from the people being displaced to now having a place to live and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

In his position, he seeks his government.

he made it!

As a husband, he only loved one person in his life, and that was Gu Beichen's biological mother, Mu Xueqing.

There was no room in his heart for anyone other than her.

Emperor Tianchen has only one son, Gu Beichen. As for the concubines in the harem, they were actually forced by the situation to stabilize the court and deceive certain people.

It has to be said that he really loves Mu Xueqing deeply.

Perhaps, it was his true love for the late queen that allowed the Nanyao Kingdom to avoid the final infiltration of Japanese spies.

If his feelings for Mu Xueqing had wavered in the slightest, then Prince Rui, the son of the former Concubine Luo, would have been a true descendant of the Gu family, and it would have been hard to say what the Nan Yao Kingdom would have become now.

But for some reason, she suddenly felt a little sympathy for him. It’s lonely at the top!

He must be very lonely.

Emperor Tianchen glared at Jiang Baitong, touched the memorial on the table, took a look at it, and put it down silently.

"You old slave, you are becoming more and more lawless!"

The joke was actually made on him. He must be fed up with living!

"Yes, yes, I am old after all. I will find a young and sensible servant to serve you, Your Majesty, tomorrow."

Jiang Baitong lowered his head and sighed, "Everyone says that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, but I am a rootless person. How could such a good thing as the blessing of children and grandchildren befall me?"

Shen Wanwan: “…”

Is this how this master and servant usually get along?

The conversation between the two people seemed to be on a different level.

However, they are really a pair of funny people, two old children.

Thinking of this, she picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth.

Shen Wanwan had just stuffed a piece of lotus cake into her mouth when the two stopped arguing and looked at her at the same time. She was startled and the lotus cake almost got stuck in her throat.

"Cough cough!"

She quickly picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then put it down. The two men were still looking at her.

"How about you... continue?"

Seeing that Shen Wanwan was alright, Jiang Baitong put away the worry in his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will withdraw first. If you need anything, please call me. I will not be far away and will be at the palace gate."

Emperor Tianchen waved his hand and said, "Go away, go away. I feel upset just seeing you."

Shen Wanwan quickly lowered her head, pretending not to see or hear anything.

However, from today on, the image of Emperor Tianchen in her heart completely collapsed.

Emperor Tianchen coughed lightly and asked, "Can you really cure the poison in the King of Qin?"

The voice regained its former majesty.

Shen Wanwan quickly sat up straight and answered seriously, "It can be solved, but it will take some time."

Emperor Tianchen seemed dissatisfied with this answer, frowning slightly, "How long will it take?"

"I can't give an exact time,"

Shen Wanwan shook her head. "However, I have a way to alleviate the pain he'll feel when the poison takes effect, so he won't suffer excruciating pain. It won't have any side effects, and I guarantee his life will be safe until the poison is removed."

Emperor Tianchen was still not satisfied with the answer, but he did not ask any further questions. He frowned and stared at Shen Wanwan, as if he was judging the credibility of what she said.

The hall fell into an eerie silence again.

After a while, Shen Wanwan saw that Emperor Tianchen still had no intention of speaking, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else..."

Before Shen Wanwan could finish her words, Emperor Tianchen spoke up, "Please take care of the Empress Dowager's condition over the next two days. On the day of Pingyang's funeral, I will go out of the palace with the Empress Dowager to see her off."

Shen Wanwan was shocked and looked up at Emperor Tianchen. She really didn't expect that he would leave the palace to attend the funeral.

Although I won't really follow the funeral procession to Xishan, this is too...

Emperor Tianchen saw Shen Wanwan was silent, "Is there something wrong?"

"No, no problem, it's just..."

The Empress Dowager's physical condition really doesn't allow for excessive movement. She needs to rest both emotionally and physically.

Asking the Queen Mother to leave the palace to attend the funeral at this time, isn't that asking for her life?

But how should she say this?

"Since there is no problem, then you can go to the Cining Palace."

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, Shen Wanwan didn't say anything more. She stood up, bowed, and then walked out of the hall.

After Shen Wanwan left, Emperor Tianchen called Jiang Baitong into the hall.

"Go dig out all the remaining osmanthus wine and give it to the girl later. Say it's from the Empress to her daughter-in-law and grandson."

Jiang Baitong glanced at Emperor Tianchen and asked, "Are you really willing to give it up?"

Emperor Tianchen was annoyed, "Didn't you, old servant, say that I'm not allowed to drink it? I have to save it for the eldest grandson. Otherwise, I won't be able to see the queen."

"But you've already summoned Miss Shen to the Yangxin Palace, why don't you give it to her in person?"

Hearing this, Emperor Tianchen wanted to pick up his weapon again. Who said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings?

Isn't this a clear reminder for him not to interfere in the affairs of the young couple?
