Your fiefdom is about two districts long. I guess it is near my fiefdom.” King Trinh looked at Wen Wan who was standing motionless, not knowing whether he was happy or upset.

I don't know what the emperor was thinking when he granted Wen Wan the title of Noble and lands.

Wen Wan looked at Xia Ying and made a gesture: “Xu Luo, the princess asked you, should she apologize to you? The incident that year the princess did not pursue further, now, are you sure, want the princess to apologize to you?” Xia Ying’s words were full of sarcasm. That year’s incident, other than Wen Wan, she was the one who knew the whole story the best. She herself had done such an immoral thing, and yet she dared to be arrogant here. If she really dared to ask the princess to apologize, then it could be considered that she had lived enough. After hearing these words, La Thi's face instantly turned pale, her eyes flashed with hatred. If it weren't for her, why would she need to spend so much effort?

Right now, she could only do her best to entice Wen Wan. Even if she couldn't borrow her strength, she could at least make her stand firm, unable to lean to one side, only towards Prince Zheng. But in her heart, she also knew clearly that this was simply a distant hope. At the banquet, when Wen Wan revealed her identity, the two of them knew each other, so they were definitely on the same boat. Moreover, King Zheng was also an extremely ambitious person, he treated Wen Wan even better than he did his own daughter. How much sincerity was there inside, even smart people would know. Because he deliberately favored her, Wen Wan and him were as close as father and daughter, the two of them communicated four or five times a month, extremely often. Under such circumstances, wanting to pull her to his side was simply joking. The virtuous concubine would not do useless things.
