Chapter 130: The Bai Sisters (II)
Zhaoqing and Jiarou called Wu Wenkang and Wu Yuanhe to their side, Ling Yao just wanted to pull Ye Qingqing and Ling Mosheng back, but Ye Qingqing stood in front of Xiang Rujun and comforted him, and Ling Yao couldn't call the children back. She had to hold the young Jiang Runze in her arms and take care of it carefully. Ling Man didn't see Xiang Chenkang for a long time, her eyebrows tightened, she didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly looked for her son in the distance.
Ling Xi looked at the pair of women in front of him with some curiosity, when did such a pair of sisters come to the harem? She couldn't help but mutter.
"What's going on?"
Xiang Hongxuan pulled Xiang Chenkang and slowly approached everyone, Bo Baoling and Yu Qingshan also stopped arguing, and everyone saluted towards Xiang Hongxuan.
Suddenly, Bai Rosary opened her mouth and said loudly: "Cousin." ”
Xiang Hongxuan raised his eyebrows, looked at the two sisters curiously, he remembered that today was the day when the Bai family sisters entered the palace, he smiled and asked: "It turned out to be the cousin of the Bai family, from the East China Sea to Yicheng, this way is tired." ”
Bai Nianzhu just wanted to say something, but Bai Qiuci replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the scenery on this road is very good, and I and Seventh Sister don't feel hard, especially the beautiful scenery of this imperial garden, which is even more beautiful." ”
"If you like it, it's fine." Xiang Hongxuan looked at Bai Qiuci carefully, smiled slightly, he turned to look at Ling Xi, and said, "Queen, these are the two cousins of the eldest princess Jinglan's family, they will live in the palace, and you have to take good care of the queen." ”
Ling Xi was stunned, did that mean that the two sisters in front of her were about to become palace concubines? Everyone also bowed their heads and was silent, Zhaoqing looked at the Bai sisters, the expression on her face became more and more complicated, and for a while, all kinds of past events couldn't help but appear in front of her, and she couldn't help muttering: "Bai family." ”
Xiang Yiyi saw Xiang Hongxuan, so he happily plunged into Xiang Hongxuan's arms, Xiang Hongxuan immediately let go of Xiang Chenkang, he picked up Xiang Yiyi, and asked, "Yiyi, who do you want to enter the palace to study with you?" ”
Xiang Hongxuan's words made everyone's nerves tense, especially Ling Yao, Bo Baoling and Yu Qingshan, it seemed that their hearts were beating to their throats, and they looked at Xiang Yiyi intently.
Xiang Yiyi put her arms around Xiang Hongxuan's neck and said coquettishly: "Father, can you let them all enter the palace to study and play with me, my father is usually so busy, every time the palace people play with me, they are all cautious, so boring, if everyone can enter the palace to accompany me, then they will not be lonely." ”
Xiang Hongxuan's heart trembled, there are indeed very few children in the palace, and Xiang Yiyi is alone? He turned his head to look at Xiang Chenkang beside him, smiled heartily, and said, "Since the princess of the southern kingdom likes it, then let's go into the palace to accompany it." ”
After hearing Xiang Hongxuan's words, Xiang Yiyi happily hugged Xiang Hongxuan's neck again, she wrapped her mouth, and said, "Father, I'm a little hungry, can I eat refreshments." ”
Xiang Hongxuan laughed heartily, he looked at Xiang Yiyi with doting eyes, and said softly: "Our princess of the southern kingdom is hungry, then go back to the palace and eat whatever you want." ”
Saying that, Xiang Hongxuan hugged Xiang Yiyi and walked towards the Feiyu Palace, and when Xiang Hongxuan passed by the Bai sisters, he glanced at Bai Qiu porcelain again, which happened to be with Bai Qiu porcelain
Looking at each other, Bai Qiuci immediately lowered his head shyly, raised the corners of Xiang Hongxuan's mouth slightly, and strode away from the imperial garden.
Ling Xi looked at Bai Qiuci, whose face was crimson, she waved her hand, Aunt Yan came to her side, she said to the Bai sisters: "Cousin of the Bai family, you must be very tired after a long journey, follow Aunt Yan to the Flower Dance Pavilion to rest first." ”
"Queen Mother, we haven't visited enough of this imperial garden, can I walk around the imperial garden again?" Bai Rosary said meaninglessly.
Bai Qiuci's crimson face was immediately frightened and turned pale, she stepped forward and pulled Bai Rosary behind her, and said to Ling Xi respectfully: "Queen Mother, we don't know the rules when we enter the palace for the first time, please Haihan." ”
Ling Xi smiled slightly, and said softly to Bai Qiuci: "It's okay, if Miss Seven wants to go around the Imperial Garden, let the palace maid take Miss Seven away." ”
Hearing Ling Xi's words, Bai Nianzhu was overjoyed, and just wanted to have a good tour of this imperial garden, but soon Bai Qiuci spoke again: "Thank you to the queen mother, but our sisters are indeed a little tired along the way, so we still obey the arrangement of the mother." ”
Bai Qiuci's polite and humble appearance made Ling Xi stunned, she motioned to Aunt Yan to take the Bai sisters to the Flower Dance Pavilion, Bai Qiuci blessed Aunt Yan slightly, and said softly: "Aunt Lao leads the way." After saying that, she pulled the white rosary with some reluctance and left the imperial garden.
Ling Xi looked at the Bai sisters who were gradually moving away, and she had a lot of thoughts. The Bai sisters' sudden entry into the palace is strange everywhere. Bai Qiuci is gentle and deferential, and Bai Nianzhu is straightforward and frank, these sisters have different personalities, if he is a palace concubine in the future, what will be the situation in the harem?
"They are the Miss Bai family of the East China Sea Imperial Merchant?" Ling Yao couldn't help but ask curiously.
Zhaoqing looked thoughtful, and said softly: "Yes, it's the Bai family." ”
"I heard that when Emperor Wen Zhao pacified the rebellion of King Ning for seven years, the Bai family gave a lot of money to support Emperor Wen Zhao, so Emperor Wen Zhao would marry his young daughter Jinglan to the Bai family. But I heard that the eldest princess has only one daughter under her knees, how can there be 2 young ladies of the Bai family? Ling Yao continued to ask.
Yu Qingshan sneered, and said in a weird manner: "The sixth miss of the Bai family is the real cousin of His Majesty, and the seventh miss of the Bai family is just the adopted daughter of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, it is said that she was born to the maid of the Bai family, and she was born on the same day, the same month and the same year as the sixth miss of the Bai family. ”
Bo Baoling sneered and said, "No matter what his background is, he is now a noble person in the palace, and he is more expensive than the people outside the palace. ”
Yu Qingshan's face was pale, Bo Baoling was not wrong, whether Bai Nianzhu was Xiang Hongxuan's cousin or not, it didn't matter anymore, as long as she entered the harem and became a genuine imperial concubine, that was the person she couldn't offend, thinking of this, Yu Qingshan was also a little irritable.
"Why did the Bai family send the two young ladies into the palace at this time
? Lord Jiarou asked with some puzzlement.
"What else? Isn't it because of the rumors back then........" Yu Qingshan said angrily.
Suddenly, Ling Xi turned around, looked at Yu Qingshan, and asked eagerly. "What rumors?"
Yu Qingshan was taken aback, as if she regretted her reckless words just now, she lowered her head silently, and everyone was silent. Ling Xi looked at everyone's performance, and she thought that there must be something interesting in this.
She slowly approached Yu Qingshan, and asked again with a pleasant face, "Princess Qing, what are the rumors you said just now?" ”
Ling Xi's approaching step by step also made Yu Qingshan nervous, she hesitated for a long time, and said: "It's not a rumor, it's that some time ago, someone reported the Bai family in the East China Sea, saying that His Majesty's plan to attack Nanxi was that the Bai family's caravan was taken out of Yicheng, and later passed through the people of Wangjiabao to Nanxi Kingdom, so Nanxi had to start the war in advance. His Majesty was furious, and seized all the Bai family's shops in Yicheng, and also detained several young masters of the Bai family, and ordered people to strictly investigate the leakage of secrets back then. ”
After Yu Qingshan finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Zhaoqing looked at Ling Xi's suspicious look, and said, "Imperial sister-in-law, this has been making trouble for a long time, and the courtier's sister will retire first." ”
The others also said goodbye one after another, and left the imperial garden quickly with their children, especially Yu Qingshan, who couldn't wait to put on her wings and fly out of the harem immediately, leaving only Ling Yao and Bo Baoling.
Ling Yao came to Ling Xi's front and said worriedly, "Sister, Your Majesty's harem is afraid that it will be a newcomer again. ”
Ling Xi lowered his head and smiled, and said lightly: "Even if there are no newcomers, this harem will not stop, and it will be more lively if there are newcomers." ”
Ling Yao looked at Ling Xi's indifferent appearance, but she vaguely felt a little weird, she looked at Ling Xi suspiciously, she just felt that Ling Xi was different from before.
Ling Xi pulled Jiang Runze with a smile and said, "Offering the princess and the county lord of Anning, go to the Jiaofang Hall and sit down, this palace has a lot to say to you." ”
Bo Baoling knowingly pulled Xiang Rujun to follow behind Ling Xi, Ling Yao pulled Ye Qingqing and Ling Mosheng just and wanted to walk towards Jiaofang Palace, she looked around and said, "Sister, have you seen the second sister?" Just now it was still here, why is it that the person is gone. ”
Ling Xi didn't stop and said, "Don't worry about her, she knows the way to the harem." ”
....................................................................................................................
Ling Man anxiously wandered around the imperial garden, she looked for a while, but she still didn't see Xiang Chenkang, she couldn't help but be a little worried about Xiang Chenkang, in case she collided with a lady in the harem, so that Xiang Chenkang lost the opportunity to become Xiang Yiyi's companion, then her hard work to bring Xiang Chenkang into the palace would be in vain.
Suddenly, Xiang Chen came from not far away
Kang's call, as soon as Ling Man turned around, she saw Xiang Chenkang running towards her, and her worries were relieved.
"Where did you go, it's not good to play with the princess of the southern country." Ling Man complained a little about his son.
Xiang Chenkang said disapprerovingly: "I don't want to play with the princess, A-Niang, did you say that the owner of this garden is the emperor?" ”
Ling Man was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course, the whole world belongs to Your Majesty, not to mention the imperial garden of this harem." ”
"A-Niang, I just met a strange person, he said that he is the owner of this garden, and the others are respectful when they see him, is he my uncle?" Xiang Chenkang asked curiously.
In an instant, Ling Man's eyes lit up, she hugged her son in surprise, and said excitedly, "Have you really seen Your Majesty?" ”
"He said he was the owner of the garden, and when I asked him if he was my uncle, he said let me guess." Xiang Chenkang replied with some uncertainty.
"Tell my mother, what did you say?" Ling Man asked eagerly.
Xiang Chenkang tried hard to recall the conversation between him and Xiang Hongxuan, and he slowly told Ling Man the ins and outs of the matter, and inadvertently a strange smile appeared on Ling Man's face.
