On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

Late at night, Wen Mansion.

Wen Yidi finished writing the last word, his forehead was covered with sweat, but a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

His eyes were red and black, and he looked exhausted. He had stayed up many nights.

In front of him was the prototype of a hundred-year-old painting. One hundred characters for longevity can be written in one hundred different ways. Put together, they form a big Chinese character "longevity".

These characters for "longevity" are not written in common ways, and mistakes can be made if you are not careful. Even as meticulous as Wen Yidi, he failed four or five times before he could write this perfect picture of longevity.

However, this is just a line drawing. Next, a hundred different colors of silk threads will be used to embroider the hundred characters "longevity" carefully on the bright red silk.

After the embroidery is completed, the picture of a hundred years of longevity is framed in a frame made of fine huanghuali. It’s not hard to imagine how amazed people would be when they see it.

The purpose of all this effort is to let Duan Qinglian show off her style at the golden autumn banquet and win a little sympathy from the Queen Mother.

A few days ago, the third prince came to Wen Yidi and said he had something to discuss. Wen Yidi subconsciously wanted to stay away from the throne disputes among the princes, but the third prince said that the throne had nothing to do with it and was just for a woman.

The biological mother of the third prince is Concubine Chen, who is the most favored one in the harem. The emperor loved the house and the crow, and he also doted on the third prince born to Concubine Chen.

In addition, the prince was seriously ill and did not have much time to live. Everyone speculated that the third prince would be the one to inherit the throne in the future.

Unfortunately, as he grew older, the third prince gradually showed the cruel side of his character. They robbed women of the people by force, injured people with their horses, and mutilated the common people.

One after another, one after another, the emperor's heart was finally chilled, and in front of the important officials of the court, he gave the third prince the evaluation that he was not worthy of being reused.

Since then, the trend in the court gradually changed, and more and more people turned their attention to the second prince. The third prince Li Yunli was unknown.

Now, the Three Emperors told Wen Yidi that he wanted to find a future for Duan Qinglian, which really surprised Wen Yidi. Li Yunli, who hangs around flowers and has countless women around him, is actually an infatuated person?

Wen Yidi took over the job. In his opinion, compared to Li Yunfeng's benevolent image for more than ten years, the third prince looked more real and easier to get along with.

He didn't ask for any benefits from Li Yunli, he just wanted a chance to speak in the future. If the Wen family encountered any difficulties, he would naturally offer corresponding money and ask the third prince to save him.

However, it is not easy to find a future for Duan Qinglian. Her father, Duan Ruhai, is the Minister of Household Affairs. He is a cautious person and does not plan anything for the children in the family.

And she was a concubine, and her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, was from a merchant background and her status was not impressive.

A few days ago, Wen Yidi met Duan Qinglian again and mentioned that this golden autumn banquet was also a matter of the Queen Mother's birthday. After chatting for only a few words, Wen Yidi discovered that Miss Duan was far less intelligent than he thought.

In terms of knowledge, she is only literate. In terms of talents, she is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Speaking of female celebrities, she looked embarrassed again.

Wen Yidi really didn't know what the third prince liked about Duan Qinglian?

There was no other way, Wen Yidi could only ask her to go back and wait for the news, and then make this 100-year-old painting by herself.

The Wen family did have many capable people and craftsmen, but he was not completely sure whether any of these people were sent by the royal family.

Furthermore, Queen Mother Shen is not easy to fool. If this hundred-year-old picture was done too perfectly, the Queen Mother would know at a glance that someone had made it and then handed it over to Duan Qinglian.

After much thought, he decided to do it himself.

Wen Yidi knows a lot of things, but he is not proficient in any of them. He loved reading when he was a child, and his studies were often praised by his master when he first entered school.

Unfortunately, he was born a merchant and was not qualified for the scientific examination. No matter how well you read the book, you can't get any fame.

Later, he learned to play the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and even learned a thing or two about female celebrities. People around him were confused and disdainful of his behavior.

Until he was fifteen years old, the Wen family received an imperial edict stating that the eldest son of the Wen family had reached the age of fifteen. From then on, Wen Yidi took over the position of imperial merchant, and Mr. Wen could enjoy his old age in peace.

He became the head of the Wen family.

As he walked among the large and small shops of the Wen family, he realized that every knowledge and skill he had learned before was not in vain.

He checked the talent of the girl from Xunhuanlou. After the girl only played a short piece of music, he could tell the person's level and where the problem lay.

He walked into Qiongxian Building to check the chef's cooking skills. He not only judged the level of cooking skills by taste, but also understood the ingredients and methods of the dish.

Just like at this moment, he completed this picture of a hundred years of longevity for Duan Qinglian. The time and energy he invested in calligraphy and nvhong finally turned into the words "longevity" in return for himself.

However, Wen Yidi was not 100% sure whether Duan Qinglian would get what she wanted at the Golden Autumn Banquet.

According to his plan, Duan Qinglian took out this picture of a hundred years of life in front of the Queen Mother, which would naturally attract everyone's attention. When the Queen Mother is happy, she will reward Duan Qinglian.

The worst outcome was that the aunt of the Duan family found out that their concubine was favored by the Queen Mother, so she did not dare to have the evil idea and married Duan Qinglian into a wealthy family to be a child.

The best result depends on how far Xu Shihuan can achieve it.

Xu Shihuan came from a prominent family, but he did not want to marry into the royal family. The best place for her is to gain the attention of the Queen Mother and enter a women's school.

The women's school in Wanhua Kingdom was founded by Queen Mother Shen when she was young. At that time, countless women entered women's schools. They were willing to be trapped in the back house, but instead participated in the imperial examinations and displayed their ambitions like men.

Although today's women's schools are in decline, those who enter women's schools are not allowed to talk about marriage, and those who pass the test can directly participate in the Spring Festival. These two traditions are still preserved.

If Xu Shihuan could seize this opportunity and get the Queen Mother to agree to her admission to a girls' school, Duan Qinglian might also be selected.

By then, planning a future for Duan Qinglian will become much easier.

In the past few days, Wen Yidi has been telling himself that he wrote to Xu Shihuan to make Duan Qinglian's affairs more secure.

But he also knew that there was another possibility: Xu Shihuan did too well and stole the limelight of the Hundred Years' Longevity Picture, so what the Third Prince asked him to do was considered a mess.

Wen Yidi smiled bitterly, he really caused trouble for himself.

However, if he was more troublesome and could make Xu Shihuan stop marrying casually, then the trouble would be worth it.

He didn't expect to be able to stand by Xu Shihuan's side, but if he had the chance, he would like to watch Xu Shihuan reach a very high position and do what she likes to do.
