Chapter 631: Morning Meeting
The golden light, the Buddha light of all living beings, except for the disciples of the Buddhist family, who has such ability?
Among the monks of Daqi, among the monks who have become famous, Yuan Hui is definitely one.
Although Yuan Hui's image in Bai Chenghuan's heart has completely collapsed, and he is definitely not a good person, Bai Chenghuan has never doubted his reputation.
"But no, he can go to the southwest alone, and he told me before that he went to the south!" Xiao Shaotang was very angry: "That monk is very annoying, as a monk, he doesn't have a word of truth in his mouth, and his heart is not right, it's really annoying!"
Xiao Shaotang, who was chirping crookedly and complaining non-stop, made people laugh like a child, Bai Chenghuan couldn't help but show a soft smile on his face, but he didn't let go of this matter:
"Since he is pestering you, he must have a good intention, just tell me the truth, what is he pestering you for?"
"He pisted me to naturally say that I have the appearance of a true dragon emperor, maybe he wants to make a dragon career with me?" Xiao Shaotang replied with a smile.
He didn't dare to say to Bai Chenghuan about Yuan Hui's heart-wrenching words such as letting him divorce his wife and marry another person, and their peaceful and beautiful days must not be ruined because of such a stinky monk.
Bai Chenghuan glanced at him:
"Really? That's not what he told me before. ”
Xiao Shaotang immediately became anxious:
"And what did he say to you?"
Xiao Shaotang's heart was gloomy, this stinky monk, he was unwilling not to break up their husband and wife, right?
"I won't tell you!"
At this time, it was Bai Chenghuan's turn to be arrogant, she took a cold posture, and without waiting for Xiao Shaotang to speak, she walked out quickly, Xiao Shaotang was about to chase out, and Bai Chenghuan suddenly couldn't hold back laughter outside:
"Don't come out, or someone will see you secretly returning to Beijing, and I won't be able to protect you!"
Xiao Shaotang suddenly understood that he was being tricked by her, and jumped to his feet through gritted teeth:
"It's in my own home, I'm a thief!"
"You sneaked back, aren't you a thief?"
With the swaying bead curtains of the summer breeze blowing in from outside the house, Xiao Shaotang raised his eyes and could just see her smiling face, dazzling in the pearlescent clutch.
He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart actually had a stability and steadfastness that he had never felt before.
From the beginning of their acquaintance, she was mostly resistant and passive to him, he has always been the one who suffers from gains and losses, and is cautious, but last night to the end, after she fell asleep in his arms, everything was different.
Although she hadn't fully surrendered herself to him, the feeling of attachment to him was so real that he was thrilled all night, afraid that such a dream would be fleeting.
Fortunately, after dawn, she still slept peacefully in his arms, letting him know that it was not a dream, it was all true.
It was already the best day he could think of.
In a trance, her laughter came from under the eaves outside:
"Are you stupid, this is your home, do you think that after you leave, I will eat white rice at home, and there are loopholes everywhere in the house, and you don't dare to see people when you come back?"
This crisp laughter like a wind chime made Xiao Shaotang slightly stunned, and his heart swelled with infinite warmth, and he ran out in three steps and two steps, just as he saw her pointing to a bush of peonies in front of the court and smiled:
"Come out quickly, if you don't come out, you'll miss such a beautiful peony!"
A bright smile fell on his eyes, clarifying the whole world in front of him, the huge Qin Palace, suddenly from empty to bright, he stepped forward with a smile, stood beside her, and said with a smile:
"With you, what do I do with flowers? You are much more beautiful than flowers!"
"You're going to talk nonsense...... Okay, after seeing the flowers, it's time for us to go and see my father and mother, didn't you say okay, accompany me back to Weibei Houfu today?"
Bai Chenghuan smiled shyly, his cheeks flushed, as if he was drunk. The small tiger teeth on the sharp lips loomed, and he stomped his feet and urged.
The laughter of the two of them was heard in the courtyard of Chang'anju, and Shao Hui and the others hid in the house and quietly covered their mouths and laughed.
They had never seen such a lively and amiable princess, this was like a girl who had just turned seventeen, not a woman with a young face, but who spoke and acted like she had experienced countless vicissitudes.
They all like such a princess, vibrant, fresh and bright.
Xiao Shaotang mixed into the team escorting Hu Bang's envoys on the way back to the capital, and he returned to the Qin Wangfu at night, and the envoys also settled down in the Beijing Post House.
Two or three days later, the emperor issued an edict and ordered the officials of the Ministry of Rites to bring Hu Bang's envoys into the palace to meet the emperor.
On this day, the emperor held a feast, and all the officials and women were present to promote the prestige of the country.
Bai Chenghuan was also among the women who entered the palace, and on this day, he got up early in the morning, put on makeup according to the rules, and after wearing it, he was graceful and luxurious, and he went out with a thousand manners.
The Lumen Hall used by the emperor to set up the banquet was already full of people, Bai Chenghuan went neither early nor late, neither very eye-catching, nor mediocre, sitting in the crowd in the middle of the rules, except for a few women who were curious about the Qin Palace, there was no one to stare at her.
When Mrs. Wei Beihou walked in, she only glanced at the gathered ladies lightly, expressing her satisfaction, and deliberately stood with Bai Chenghuan and talked for a while, revealing the meaning of support.
The people in the capital now feel that the prince of Qin has gone to the southwest, and the king of Qin is not treated well in the southwest, those who don't know the details, everyone can't help but have some forces in their hearts, and Mrs. Wei Beihou is really afraid that someone will take advantage of this to make trouble for her daughter.
But I didn't know that someone originally wanted to pick something to embarrass the princess of King Qin who was now losing power, such as the new prime minister's wife, Mrs. Fang, and those noble ladies who now surround her.
But because they saw Mrs. Wei Beihou, they instantly dispelled this idea.
After all, in their eyes, the princess of Qin is not a big family, and the prince of Qin is not in the capital, and no one supports her, as long as she doesn't go crazy, she can't be bullied.
It's a pity that as soon as Mrs. Weibeihou stepped into the Lumen Palace, their thoughts were completely extinguished - Mrs. Weibeihou is a fierce woman, if they dare to make trouble, she will dare to make trouble with them.
Everyone has been working all the way to get into the circle of the powerful, not to mention anything else, looking at the direction of the wind and looking at the look of the eyes.
Today is the day when Hu Bang's envoys meet the emperor, the emperor announced that so many of them entered the palace, just to strengthen their momentum and increase their face, if they provoked an incident and made the emperor lose people, even if they added to the blockage of Mrs. Wei Beihou and the princess of King Qin, they would never be good.
Until the emperor appeared, the Lumen Hall was calm.
。 When the emperor walked into the Lumen Hall with Wei Wan, everyone hurriedly got up and knelt down to greet them, and only after the emperor said "flat" did they stand up one by one.
The emperor was followed by Empress Wei Wan, and the face that was almost exactly the same as Xu Chenghuan before fell in the eyes of everyone, and there was another taste in their hearts, and many people turned their eyes to Mrs. Weibei Hou.
But seeing that Mrs. Wei Beihou was also lifting her skirt, she stood up from the ground, her expression was calm, and she didn't look at the emperor and Wei Wan.
And Wei Beihou, who was sitting on the courtier's side, was even more of an old god, which was completely inconsistent with the appearance of tears and silent tears in everyone's imagination.
However, after Wei Wan sat down, she frequently glanced at Wei Beihou and Mrs. Wei Beihou, and when she retracted her gaze, she had a touch of regret.
There were people whispering while the palace maid was serving the food.
"These two people don't want to let their own daughters go, they have to recognize the daughter of a military attache from the outer four roads, it's really confused!"
"That's it, the lady of the main palace above is their daughter!" someone echoed sourly.
"Didn't their Xu family send Xu Chengyi into the palace in the past, didn't they just want their daughter to firmly dominate that position, and now the emperor has admitted it, but they still want to take Qiao?
The two whispered, you and I were talking lively, but I didn't expect that there was Mrs. Zhang sitting next to him, and she heard this clearly.
Hearing them criticize the Xu family like this, he immediately became annoyed, frowned and scolded:
"Can the emperor also talk casually? If your eyes are red, you might as well send your daughter to the palace too!"
This was said honestly and politely, and the two of them suddenly sneered on their faces, and they were angry in their hearts, but they were hindered by the emperor above, so they couldn't dismiss it properly, so they could only turn their heads angrily and never look at the Zhang family again.
Zhang's family also had all kinds of feelings in his heart, looking at Wei Wan's face, he was also a little distracted for a while.
This obviously looks the same, and the emperor admitted it himself, but his sister-in-law didn't admit it, so it's no wonder that others gossip.
And the emperor on the golden throne, seeing Wei Wan looking frequently, held her hand:
"They are not good to you, since you don't remember it now, naturally you don't have to pay attention to him, and you don't have to care if you have me by your side in the future, whether you have them or not. ”
Wei Wan responded obediently on her face, but she was stunned in her heart - if the emperor had such an attitude in the past, then Xu Chenghuan should not have a good relationship with her family, but as far as she knows, the people Xu Chenghuan cares about most are her parents.
Could it be that there is something else in the middle that she doesn't know?
Wei Wan's eyes couldn't help but look at the princess of King Qin.
Anyone in this world may not recognize Xu Chenghuan, but her parents will definitely not admit it.
He is an impostor, so they will never come forward to recognize each other - on the other hand, the emperor, although he keeps saying that he loves Xu Chenghuan deeply, he seems to have never recognized it, and his mind has never been clear.
Bai Chenghuan sat behind the crowd, taking in the expressions of all kinds of people up and down, and then discovered something.
The emperor's decree was that all the ladies of the courtiers' families could participate in the banquet, but the people who came to the palace for the banquet today were all noble ladies who had already become families, and there was no one who brought an unmarried young woman from the family to the banquet.
In the main hall, the young women were left with only the two eldest princesses, Xiao Huiya and Xiao Huixin, who were in their prime.
It seems that the rumors that Hu Bang's envoys came to the capital this time and wanted to make peace are true.
There are all kinds of people, but no one wants their daughter to be sent to Hu Bang and his relatives.
Bai Chenghuan looked at it a few times, and saw that the two eldest princesses were pale, their eyes were deep, like wooden people, sitting there lifelessly, without moving.
There was a slight trace of unbearability, brushing through Bai Chenghuan's heart, and it was fleeting.
Everyone has their own destiny, and she can't even control her own destiny, so how can she manage their affairs?
She asked Wei Wan not to care about the affairs of the two eldest princesses anymore, because thinking about her previous life, Xiao Shaoyun's "white-eyed wolf" was not in vain.
If they really worked hard and carefully for them in their previous lives, but in the end they got merciless ridicule and ridicule, then it was really time for them to repay their debts.
I just don't know what the emperor's reaction would be if he saw who Hu Bang's envoy was?
After a short time, a eunuch sang outside the door, and Hu Bang's envoy arrived.
There were more than a dozen people in Hu Bang's envoy group, but the only ones who could enter the Lumen Hall were the second prince of Hu Bang and Jin Nandong, and the rest stayed outside to wait.
The second prince is tall and mighty, with a high nose and deep eyes, and the standard Hu people's appearance and bloodline, which is different from the Han people at first glance, but the envoys who followed the second prince have attracted the attention of all the people, and even some officials present were almost so surprised that they threw the wine glass in their hands - obviously, many people who experienced the spring of the first emperor in the tenth year have a deep memory of this person!
I saw that he was wearing a brown robe and a conical hat often worn by Hu people, but this Hu people's outfit could not hide his bookish atmosphere, and between his walking steps, he still faintly revealed the unique elegance of the Great Qi literati, only those eyes were not as gentle and calm as the Great Qi literati, but full of vigilance, etc., with a complex look that could not be seen.
The emperor was also stiff, stunned for a moment, as if he had found something from a long memory, but he did not restrain himself like his subordinates, and raised his hand and threw the gold cup in his hand fiercely!
"Traitor! Traitor! You still have the face to set foot on the land of my Great Qi!"
The emperor this time, the ministers below were also surprised, so many years have passed, the emperor still remembers the events of that year!
At that time, he was only a ten-year-old child, and he hadn't even participated in politics, but he still remembered what this person looked like!
If the emperor used all this wisdom in state affairs, then why did Daqi fall to such a point today?
The ministers sighed in their hearts, but they no longer had to restrain themselves, and they all talked loudly:
"Isn't this the traitor Jin Nandong?"
"Yes, it is that shameless man who is ungrateful and forgets his ancestors! I didn't expect him to have the face to come back, I am really ashamed of me and other scholars!"
These civil officials were foaming at the mouth when they scolded, and their voices were not only heard clearly by the emperor, but also by the envoys of Hu Bang, who were walking between the eyes of the court officials and the wives.
But the look on Jin Nandong's face remained unchanged at all, and he walked forward steadily.
Spit, despise, and insult, since he chose to set foot on this land again, he naturally didn't care anymore.
This is no longer his homeland, and he has only come back to accomplish the great things he has wanted to do all his life.
