Would there not be so many unexpected things, and would her marriage with the young master of the Yu family be able to continue?
Or maybe if she had understood all this earlier, she wouldn't have gotten engaged to the young master of the Yu family and wouldn't have fallen in love with him. Wouldn't she be so sad now?
The Sixth Princess knew very well that although it was her Fourth Sister-in-law who took the blame in the end, she never thought that it was her Fourth Sister-in-law's responsibility. Why should she be blamed?
In the struggle for imperial power, Fourth Sister-in-law was just a victim.
After thinking it through, the Sixth Princess nodded solemnly: "Sister-in-law, leave this matter to me. Don't worry, I will definitely see to it."
Qin Wan pointed to the female officials under her command and said, "They will help you. If you have any questions, you can ask them."
After saying this, Qin Wan patted Princess Li's head and said, "What's going on between us and your brother is between us. Don't do anything foolish. Just live your life well."
What is a foolish thing?
Are you supporting the fourth brother or the crown prince?
So you should look at the situation clearly and protect yourself first, right?
The Sixth Princess understood what Qin Wan said. She had never forced her to take sides and had always been kind to her, but what about her own brother?
The Sixth Princess couldn't help but think too much.
Qin Wan watched the Sixth Princess fall into deep thought. After thinking for a while, she decided not to tell her the third thing for now. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so there was no need to rush.
When the Sixth and Seventh Princesses came out of the East Palace, the Seventh Princess asked her, "What were you thinking about just now?"
The Sixth Princess looked back at the Eastern Palace and said, "I'm thinking, I want to be a woman like my sister-in-law, who knows what she wants and what is right and wrong."
The Seventh Princess also turned around to look, a hint of envy in her eyes. "Yes, I want to be a woman like my sister-in-law. When I'm alone, I can be free and unrestrained. When I meet the one I love, I won't feel sorry for myself because I'm married twice. Instead, I can stand beside the Crown Prince and treat him as an equal. Haven't you noticed? They are so harmonious when they are together."
The seventh princess looked at the sixth princess.
The Sixth Princess shook her head: "I don't quite understand what you mean."
The Seventh Princess recalled the Emperor's interactions with the concubines in the harem and said, "When Father was with his favorite concubines, even the most headstrong Consort Li, her words and actions were deliberately flattering. Even when she was being petty, it was always according to Father's mood."
"Brother and sister-in-law, from the outside it seems like you are henpecked and that you are controlling him, but your words and actions are still based on you. But the Crown Princess will never act like this in front of the Crown Prince."
"The relationship between the Crown Prince and his wife is equal. When they are together, there is no distinction between high and low status. No one is deliberately trying to please the other. Instead, I will think about you and pay attention to each other's movements at all times."
The Sixth Princess suddenly remembered at this moment that when the emperor's sisters-in-law in the palace were with their brothers, whether walking, sitting or lying down, they would always stay half a step behind them and put them first in everything.
And what about the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess? They always walked hand in hand, and sometimes the Crown Prince even gave way to his sister-in-law more.
The Sixth Princess couldn't help but feel envious: "Will we also find a husband like the Crown Prince?"
The Seventh Princess nodded heavily: "Of course I will."
The two smiled at each other, with a hint of determination in their eyes.
The two first returned to Concubine Min and told her what Qin Wan had asked them to do, and also took out the badges Qin Wan had given them for entering and leaving the palace.
Concubine Min did not like to let the Seventh Princess leave the palace. Now there were undercurrents, and she was really afraid that something would happen to her daughter. But looking at her daughter's bright eyes, she could not say no. She could only assign her own people to two of the Seventh Princesses, and send a letter to the eldest prince, asking him to take good care of her outside the palace.
East Palace.
Xie Qing came out of the inner room after seeing the Sixth and Seventh Princesses leave. "Didn't you say you wanted them to do three things? What's the third thing?"
Qin Wan turned around and helped him pull his collar up, saying with a smile, "The third thing is not suitable for you to know. As the Crown Prince, you should pay attention to national affairs."
She looked up and motioned Zigui to bring the things over. In just a moment, two boxes were brought to her.
Qin Wan opened the box. Inside was snow-white cotton, light and soft. Under the cotton was a small muff. She put the muff in Xie Qing's hand and said, "Take a look."
The hand muff was exquisitely crafted and beautifully embroidered, but Xie Qing was more interested in the fact that it felt light and warm to the touch. "Is this made of cotton?"
He immediately thought of what Qin Wan had been doing and asked, "Has it increased cotton production?"
"certainly."
Qin Wan nodded. "This was something we had people try to grow before, but cotton yields are much harder to increase than grain. We tried many times, and only this time we had a little success."
Qin Wan opened another box. "This is the original cotton, a little dark yellow, not fluffy and soft enough. This is the new cotton that was planted for trial, pure white and soft."
When the two types of cotton are put together, the difference is even more obvious. Regardless of color and feel, there is a clear difference when you twist and stretch them with your hands.
Xie Qing's eyes lit up: "How much has the output increased?"
Qin Wan shook her head. "The land on my farm is all dedicated to experimental seed production. The farmers have carefully tended it, so the yield has more than doubled. However, now that we've moved to a new location, I don't know the exact yield."
"The reason we brought it back so late is because it was all grown in the greenhouse. Besides the environment, land, and other factors, I don't know if the yield will still be as good as it was then."
Xie Qing's eyes were still shining brightly: "Even if it is only increased by half, the output is still very gratifying. The people will be blessed in the future!"
Xie Qing cupped Qin Wan's cheek and kissed her hard: "I'm so lucky to have you!"
Qin Wan pushed him away with a look of disgust and wiped her face with a handkerchief: "I am so lucky to have you!"
Xie Qingbei was disgusted, laughed, and hugged Qin Wan and kissed her randomly: "Let me see how you wipe it, haha!"
Qin Wan quickly asked someone to fetch some water to wash her face: "I have to meet someone soon. What should I do if you spit all over my face?"
Xie Qing then remembered that the Qin family was going to enter the palace today.
Normally, the second day of the Lunar New Year should be the day for married women to return to their parents' home, but Qin Wan married into the royal family and became a daughter-in-law, and even the Crown Princess, so it was naturally difficult to achieve this.
Xie Qingben had also planned to take her back to her parents' home on the second day of the New Year, but something happened on New Year's Eve. The emperor vomited blood again, and Qin Wan was needed to take care of and arrange everything in the palace. Naturally, the two of them had no time to go back to her parents' home.
So the Qin family came to the palace today to meet and talk with Qin Wan.
What's more, in the past, the Qin family was reluctant to enter the palace for fear of inadvertently causing trouble for Qin Wan, but now that the palace has been purged, the Qin family naturally wants to enter the palace to see Qin Wan.
