Chapter 487: The Thousand-Year-Old (8)

Wen Wan left, flattered and surprised. From then on, Wen Wan's treatment improved instantly. Her palace allowance was also given out, ice was distributed, and the imperial kitchen staff were all friendly. When Xiao Cui went to get ingredients, everyone treated her very well, completely different from their previous condescending attitude.

Everyone speculated that the Emperor had regained favor with the deposed Crown Prince.

Besides Qi Mingzhu, the other princes and princesses also arrived, lining up one by one to apologize to Wen Wan. In fact, how could Wen Wan blame these little brats? After all, they were just children, and adult matters had little to do with children.

However, Wen Wan really enjoys lively atmospheres.

Life seemed to have returned to normal.

Her mother also sent a message praising her. Wen Wan felt a little guilty, after all, she hadn't expected that something so unintentional would turn out so well. She hadn't expected that the emperor would be such a foodie.

The eldest prince also came to visit Wen Wan. This was the first time Wen Wan had seen the low-key eldest prince since she transmigrated here.

He had a refined appearance, though not as exquisite as the Fourth Prince, but still above average. Moreover, he possessed no offensive qualities, making those who saw him instinctively feel that he was a kind and gentle person.

When chatting with Wen Wan, he was very measured in his actions. If Wen Wan didn't know his true nature, he might have been deceived.

Then the Third Prince arrived, and his attitude was also very good, but the smile did not reach his eyes, clearly indicating that he did not want to see any room for him to struggle.

Wen Wan was exhausted after a long day of socializing.

Then she collapsed on the bed, like a salted fish, and even her mother's people came to chat with her.

Wen Wan is tired, really tired.

Gu Li knocked on the door with a glass of plum juice in hand. When she came in, she saw Wen Wan's uninhibited behavior and was already somewhat used to it.

As Wen Wan drank her plum juice, Gu Li said, "Your Highness doesn't want to associate with them?"

"Nonsense, they're all cunning and scheming, every word they say is a trap. I'm so annoyed with them. Do you have any way to deal with them and stop them from coming to me?"

Gu Li: "No."

Wen Wan was somewhat disappointed.

Gu Li: "But isn't this a good thing? Your Highness's relationship with the Emperor has improved, isn't that a good thing? Why is Your Highness still troubled?"

Wen Wan: "Do you think Father has really reconciled with me? How could that be? Since he dared to punish my maternal grandfather's entire family, it proves that he has completely abandoned me. As for now, I am just a pawn, a test for the other princes. You can also call me... a whetstone."

Gu Li: "..."

"Forget it, I never wanted to be emperor anyway. As long as the third prince and the first prince don't succeed to the throne, I don't care who else becomes emperor."

"Why doesn't Your Highness keep power firmly in your own hands? That way, no one can cause you any trouble."

Wen Wan looked at Gu Li, "Why do you want me to compete for that position so badly?"

"Your Highness, I am Your Highness's servant. Only when Your Highness is well can I be well."

Wen Yan: "..."

Has she gone too far in boosting her favorability rating? Something's not right here.

Wen Wan could only say, "Actually, there's another reason, which you probably won't believe."

Wen Wan whispered, "Actually, I have amnesia."

Gu Li: "..."

"I don't remember a lot of things, so I can't sit in that seat."

Gu Li: "Why did Your Highness tell me this? Aren't you afraid I'll spread it?"

"You won't."

Gu Li: "..."

...

After that, life returned to normal, and Gu Li was summoned by the head of the imperial kitchen to help. Wen Wan did not stop him, after all, the male lead had his own path to walk.

Meanwhile, her mother was constantly making arrangements. First, she assigned secret guards to protect her, and then she made her aware of several forces in the court that were on her side. These forces had all survived the turmoil in her maternal family. It has to be said that her mother was a ruthless person.

Wen Wan gave perfunctory replies while doing nothing.

They should also refrain from making any rash moves. It will take a long time for her mother to give up on making her daughter the empress.

According to her mother's idea, she was the son, the crown prince, the future emperor. As for offspring, there was a way to secretly replace them later.

As for the female lead, she made more and more moves, and the splashes became bigger and bigger, creating a commotion that was quite surprising.

For example, making soap, making glass, making shampoo and shower gel, etc.

Clearly... he's a science student.

Professional.

She quickly made contact with the Third Prince, and their relationship became extremely close.

Another half year passed, and the Third Prince and the female lead... got engaged. One has to admire the efficiency of the female lead.

Wen Wan also met the female lead. It was the female lead who took the initiative to meet her, and the first thing the female lead said to her was: hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, and boron.

The next line is: Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger.

Wen Yan: "..."

Time-travel novels, they really are true.

Wen Wan feigned ignorance, "Miss Jiang, what do you mean by this?"

"Your Highness, I have some questions. Tofu is not found in the common people's land, and I have never heard of milk tea before. How did Your Highness come up with the idea of ​​doing this?"

Wen Wan: "The tofu recipe is from a book, so I just followed it. As for the milk tea, it was a coincidence. I just happened to drink tea once and found it bitter, so I poured milk in. I didn't expect it to taste so different, so that's how I made the so-called milk tea."

"What about the pearls?"

"Pearls? Those aren't pearls. They're just a kind of snack, something developed by the common people. I ate it by chance. As for who developed this delicacy, I don't really know."

Jiang Mingyue looked at Wen Wan suspiciously, and Wen Wan looked back at her without the slightest guilt. In any case, as long as she could deceive herself, she could deceive everyone else.

Finally, Jiang Mingyue left, and happened to bump into Gu Li who was returning. Wen Wan's heart jumped instantly. When the two looked at each other, Wen Wan felt like she was about to have a heart attack.

After quickly seeing the female lead off, he called Gu Li over, "Weren't you supposed to be back later? Why are you back so early today?"

Gu Li: "There was nothing wrong in the imperial kitchen, so I came back."

Wen Wan: "Is the Imperial Kitchen so idle? Never mind, do you know that person from earlier? The Minister's daughter, Jiang Mingyue."

Wen Wan stared intently at Gu Li, wanting to see his reaction.

The result was... no response.

This is even stranger. How could the male and female protagonists be so calm and unresponsive when they meet? Their hearts must be churning with emotions.

Do you think Miss Jiang is pretty?

Gu Li: "..."

"I didn't see it clearly."

Wen Wan was still a little worried, so she had her bodyguard follow her. She was shaken off several times, which the bodyguard found strange.

Wen Wan knew that the male lead must have gone to find the female lead, otherwise why would he have shaken off the bodyguard?

This happened right under her nose, it's simply unbearable, how can she tolerate it?

Wen Wan was angry, so Gu Li only saw her cold face every time.

In the end, he could only beg for mercy, "Does Your Highness not want me to follow you? Then this servant will no longer be in Your Highness's way. Although this servant does not know what I did wrong, I am sure I did something wrong. This servant will request to leave tomorrow."

Wen Yan: "???"

She suddenly grabbed Gu Li's hand. "Why are you leaving? You're not allowed to."

"Your Highness?"

"I'm not angry with you, I'm just angry with myself. You have your own ideas, and I shouldn't interfere with you. I promise I won't get angry anymore. I'll support whoever you like, and you shouldn't feel any pressure."

Gu Li: "???"

"What are you talking about, Your Highness? How could a crippled person like me possibly think about such things?"

"Don't you have someone you like?"

Gu Li: "No."

"Then you can't have one in the future either, or I'll really kick you out." Wen Wan said unreasonably. Gu Li stared intently at her. "Why does Your Highness say that? Why does Your Highness care so much about whether I have someone I like?"

Wen Wan: "There's no reason why, don't ask."

"Since Your Highness forbids me from asking, then I won't ask."

Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief. She decided to deal with the female lead. The system exclaimed how audacious this idea was, "Host, how do you plan to deal with her? Kill her?"

Wen Wan: "Of course not, she doesn't deserve to die yet."

[So, what does the host plan to do?]

Wen Wan: "If she can't become the Third Prince's consort, then she won't be able to do anything else."

system:【……】

My mind was filled with: Is that all?

I thought the host was going to come up with some earth-shattering plan.

"Then how will you stop it?" the system asked.

"Good question. I haven't thought of one yet, but I'm sure I can come up with a good solution."

Wen Wan thought about it for several days and finally came up with a solution: "Go to Father Emperor."

System: [What do you want to do?]

"I want to marry the female lead."

system:【? ? ​​? 】

Wait, [Host, what are you saying? I must be hallucinating. I actually heard you say you're going to do something? Marry someone? Be the female lead?]

"Once the female lead becomes my princess consort, it will be impossible for her to be with the third prince."

But you are a woman.

"What's wrong with a woman? A woman is a good thing. I won't do anything to her. I just want to stop this ill-fated relationship."

System: [Are you crazy? That would mean the male lead would see the female lead every day. What if they cheat on you? What would you do then?]

"Isn't that great? If the female lead really gives up hurting the male lead, then even if I'm the one wearing the green hat, so what?"

system:【……】

The host's thought process is simply amazing.

[Host, I advise you to think twice before you act. Besides, why do you think the Emperor would agree? He has already bestowed marriages upon the Third Prince and his companion; how could he possibly marry the female lead to you?]

Wen Wan calmed down instantly.

This operation is extremely difficult, definitely a five-star score, and practically impossible.

"Then what should we do?"

System: [Actually, things aren't that bad. The male lead might not like the female lead. If all else fails, host, you can step in.]

"What?"

System: [Since you can't steal the female lead, then steal the male lead. As long as you make him fall in love with you, he won't get close to the female lead, and our mission will be complete. Besides, the male lead is incomplete, so you can't make any real progress. Therefore, you have no loss.]
