Chapter 389: The Bai Family
The Bai family's poetry and books are heirlooms, and they pay attention to the two words.
The father of the princess Bai Ying is the brother of the current imperial concubine. If it comes to intimacy, they must be close. But when the imperial concubine came out of the cabinet, she was just a little girl who had just learned to walk, and her words were only enough to say two words.
Kyoto is far away from Yanling, and the imperial concubine has never returned for so many years after she got married. Earlier, when Emperor Su Fang was still the king of Duan, it was inconvenient for her to come back, and then she became the imperial concubine, but she couldn't return. When the girl's family gets married, it has never been easy to save relatives, especially for the women in the palace.
The imperial concubine has not returned to the Bai family for many years, and Bai Ying has never seen her face when she grows up.
All the things she knew came from the mouths of the elders in the family. Don't mention the truth or falsehood in it, plus many things are spread ten, ten to hundred, and falsely spread falsehoods, who knows how much has changed in it, and how many correct numbers it can have.
Bai Ying stretched out her hand to tuck the corners of the quilt for her son, and said softly, "Why did the prince suddenly remember to ask this?" ”
Ji Jun lowered his eyes and smiled, and said, "It's just that I suddenly remembered the prince." ”
The imperial concubine is the biological mother of the prince, and the Yanling Bai family has become the prince's foreign family, and Bai Ying, who is the princess of the Jingwang Mansion, naturally became the cousin of His Royal Highness the prince. But according to the royal family, Emperor Su Fang is the elder brother of King Jing, that is, Ji Jun's uncle, and the crown prince became Ji Jun's cousin.
Fortunately, no matter how it is arranged, there is no difference in seniority in the end.
The girl of the Bai family in Yanling is not limited to her concubines. The people who married were all high-ranking families and noble families. For generations, the men of the Bai family have not prospered. The girl has a lot of children, and all of them are talented and beautiful, demure and capable. Who wouldn't be happy if such a girl could marry into the family?
What's more, behind them is the Bai family.
But in recent years, the Bai family's behavior has been slightly weird. But if you really want to go back, it seems that it should start when the imperial concubine's father succeeded to the head of the family. Before him. The Bai family has always pursued the word neutrality. Not standing in line is often the safest thing to do, and there is nothing wrong with that. But after falling into the hands of the current head of the family, Old Man Bai. Things changed.
The most eye-catching thing should be that he made the decision to send his daughter to Kyoto and made a side concubine for King Duan.
The concubine of the Bai family is enough to be a concubine for the prince. Only occupy the name of a side concubine. In fact, it seems to slap the Bai family in the face. When the imperial concubine was not married in the past, she was also a famous girl in Yanling, and the people who wanted to marry her could line up from the city gate to the main gate of the Bai family.
In that case, no one else picks on the Bai family, only the Bai family picks others.
The imperial concubine when she was a girl, I am afraid that it is not an exaggeration to say that she is picky, but back then, she could only see one Song Yanzhao in her eyes.
It's a pity. The charming girl's mind was just sprouted and was doused to death by Old Man Bai with a scoop of cold water.
He wants to marry her far away from Kyoto. Make a side concubine for King Duan.
Before that, there was no warning.
Everyone in the Bai family has a lot of beaks, a good daughter, why bother to be a side concubine. Although she is also a concubine, she finally has a side word, and there is still a concubine on it, what does it look like. Among the voices of opposition, the loudest was especially the old lady Bai, who was reluctant to send her daughter to Kyoto for the first time.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, no matter how good feng shui is, it is not a peaceful place.
Kyoto seemed to her to be a beast with its bloody mouth waiting to devour them all. If the daughter goes, she will have to go to a layer of skin to live.
She is reluctant to do 10,000, but the old man Bai is hard-hearted. No matter how much she persuaded her, she only decided that she would not change it.
No one knows exactly what he had in mind......
However, today, more than ten years later, when everyone thinks of this long past, they can't help but praise him for his foresight. At that time, Emperor Qinglong was still sitting on the throne dignifiedly, although he was soft-tempered, but he was not a tyrant of the faint monarch, and he was more benevolent to his people.
The change of person on the dragon chair is a earth-shaking event for the entire Xiyue, and even more so for the Bai family.
Looking at it on the surface, the Bai family is still the Bai family of the past, but everyone in the bureau knows that the Bai family is different from the past.
Especially after the collapse of the Li family, which had two queens, overnight, as the maiden family of the imperial concubine Bai, the status of the Yanling Bai family immediately became extraordinary. But the Bai family has always been friendly with people, but they have never taken the line lightly, and they have always been low-key, and everyone's eyes on the Bai family are completely different from those who looked at the Li family in the past.
Who can say that the decision made by Old Man Bai back then was wrong?
Ji Jun had seen him, and he knew at a glance that the old man who was born in front of him was like a chubby and smiling old man, and he was by no means a good man.
He looked down at his son's fleshy little face, very satisfied.
The princess looked at him from the side, lowered her voice and asked, "Is there turmoil in the palace?" ”
Ji Jun raised his head, responded lightly with a "hmm", and then said, "Sooner or later." When he said this, his gaze fell directly on the princess, and his eyes did not blink.
Bai Ying, the princess of the world, was a little hairy by him, and said softly: "What does the prince look at? But having said that, she understood in her heart why Ji Jun looked at herself like this.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was born to the imperial concubine of the Bai family, also has the blood of the Bai family in Yanling, and half of it belongs to the Bai family.
If there is turmoil in the imperial city and he is involved, it will inevitably involve the Bai family.
Such a situation, with the vision and mind of Old Man Bai, would never have been unexpected. However, on the one hand, he led the Bai family to be a cautious and low-key person, and on the other hand, he climbed into a family affair with the Jingwang Mansion. King Jing has been away from Beijing for more than ten years, nearly 20 years, and has lived a leisurely life in the southern corner, not even going out of the door, and it is really inconspicuous to look at.
Although the older generation knew that King Jing was also a high-spirited figure when he was young, but now looking at his lazy appearance, who would have imagined that he had been.
Princess Jing is unable to have children, she does not have a son and a half daughter under her knees, and the little masters in King Jing's mansion are all concubines, even Ji Jun is no exception.
Although he has been raised by Princess Jing's side since he was a child, and he is the son of the world, he is not a great character.
In terms of Bai Ying's character and identity, she has a better family to choose from.
But this time, it was like when Old Man Bai wanted to give the young imperial concubine to King Duan as a side concubine, which also surprised everyone.
He rarely interfered in the marriage of the junior, but Bai Ying's marriage was personally facilitated by him.
This card, as it was back then, no one understands.
It wasn't until Bai Ying gave birth to a son to Ji Jun and had her own flesh and blood that she vaguely guessed something.
His grandfather's mind was too complex to be reached.
The most important thing is not to continue to climb, but to maintain today's status.
The Li family is a lesson from the past, what is the use of having more queens, when it is time to die, it will still die in the blink of an eye.
However, Bai Ying couldn't guess what her grandfather's idea was.
But at least one thing, she understood, grandfather was very concerned about who the person sitting on that dragon chair would be.
Therefore, she also understood what Ji Jun's glance represented, the Bai family was not only the imperial concubine's maiden family, but also her maiden family. Once the Jingwang Mansion has the heart to seize the throne, which side the Bai family should stand behind has become an extremely important choice.
She speculated that her grandfather was only afraid that he was not very satisfied with the support of the crown prince to ascend the throne.
If it is another five or six years, when the prince is fifteen or sixteen years old, the Bai family may still be happy.
But now that the prince is only ten years old, a ten-year-old child cannot be pro-government, so that the people below conspire against the rebellion, I am afraid that they will follow one after another. If the Bai family wants to protect him, they must devote the strength of the whole clan to it, and if it is successful, it will be a catastrophe.
Too hard, too dangerous!
She thought to herself, her eyes falling on the plum blossom embroidered on her husband's cuff. The crimson white petals are overlapped and deep and shallow. It is reported that this is her father-in-law King Jing's biological mother Zhao's favorite red plum in the bone, when buried, there is such a plum blossom with the burial. King Jing had a very good relationship with his biological mother Zhao, and soon after her death, King Jing asked people to embroider such a plum blossom on his clothes to express his thoughts.
Later, it became a habit.
Even with Lian Jijun's clothes, there is no such a plum stick, which has almost become the logo of the master of Jingwang's mansion.
However, King Jing can use it, and the prince Ji Jun can use it, but others can't use it.
Bai Ying, the princess of the world, stared at the scarlet color and looked at it, but what she thought in her heart was that her grandfather married herself into the Jingwang Mansion for this day?
If Emperor Su Fang is divided and the prince grows up safely, he will only develop as it is. But if things are not right, among the people who may seize the throne, the most suitable and most promising person must be King Jing.
The two hands played by Old Man Bai have long been ready to abandon the prince.
If you will succeed in ten thousand bones, how can you not be ruthless in those who have achieved great things?
Bai Ying thought about it, Ji Lingling shuddered, and subconsciously blurted out: "If something happens in the palace, my aunt will definitely discuss with my grandfather, but I am afraid that I will ......"
On the side, Ji Jun suddenly reached out and hugged his son, with a smile on his handsome face, looked at her and said slowly: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”
But he knew in his heart that the time was almost up.
Father, I'm afraid he had already thought about it, so when Mr. Chen Shu asked, he didn't refuse directly.
Just as he was thinking, the son in his arms babbled and screamed.
Ji Jun glanced down, with a smile in his eyes, and inexplicably remembered someone.
After a few years, I don't know what happened to Little Eleven now.
After leaving Kyoto, they haven't contacted each other again, and now that I think about it, I feel that even their appearance has become blurred.
When he returned from Mobei, what awaited him was his mother's gentle words and careful care. But waiting for eleven is a land of thorns.
Eleven's father died, and his stepmother was obsessed with killing him.
Ji Jun sighed secretly, with Eleven's ability, it would not really kill people.
He suddenly wanted to see Eleven now. (To be continued......)
