Chapter 202: In the Mountain
Princess Bailing is the daughter of Du Bazi, Du Bazi has no sense of existence in the harem, and she is rarely summoned by Liu Heng. This daughter was conceived when she was first favored, and there has been no grace since. She is also a non-fighting character, and it stands to reason that her daughter who will not teach her to murder Liu Yan.
"You go and invite Du Bazi over, and let her bring Princess Bailing with her."
Yifang gave the order and waited quietly here. Concubine Liu couldn't stay idle, so she pounced over and asked her, "Mother, is it Sister Bailing who wants to let the poisonous snake bite me?" ”
"I can't make a conclusion yet, but you have to remember that whether it is now or in the future, if someone wants to harm you, you must not act rashly until you find definite evidence, and if you find evidence, you must cut the grass and eradicate the roots."
The current Liu Concubine is still young and can't fully understand the meaning of Yifang, but she still nodded: "My daughter remembers." ”
After a while, I saw Du Bazi walking in with Princess Bailing with a sad face. Every time she saw Yifang, she saluted respectfully, whether Yifang was favored or not, it always was. Because of her rare attitude of not praising high and stepping low, Yifang has a very good impression of her.
"Du Bazi, I called your mother and daughter over this time for a private matter, and I hope you can answer truthfully." Yi Fang first chose to believe her, and then reminded, "However, if you deliberately hide it, then private matters will become official affairs." ”
On the way here, there was already a palace maid who told Du Bazi what happened in the school, and she understood the meaning of Yifang in her heart. If she told the truth, Yifang would let their mother and daughter go, and if she had the intention to hide it, she would make trouble in front of Liu Heng.
"Su beauty, beauty Mingjian, this matter was not done by a concubine! No matter how vicious the concubine is, she won't want to harm a two-year-old child! It is true that Du Bazi has never done this, but she trusts her daughter too much.
Yi Fang looked at her appearance, not like she was pretending, and turned to Princess Bailing, who was kneeling on the side: "I believe in you, but what about Bailing?" Does this matter have anything to do with you? ”
"The concubine can guarantee that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with her." Du Bazi loves her daughter so much that she blurted out without thinking about it.
"That's what I did." Unexpectedly, as soon as Du Bazi's words came out, Princess Bailing admitted her crime, "I did it all by myself, if the beauty wants to punish me, don't punish my mother." ”
Yi Fang felt that it was novel, she did not rush to order, but continued to ask: "Bailing, did you really do this?" How did you bring that viper in? Aren't you afraid? ”
Yi Fang thought, although Bai Ling is already a teenager, but after all, she is still a girl raised in the deep palace, usually as a princess, pampered every day, she should be afraid of poisonous snakes and other creatures.
"I put a big bag in the small garden, put the snake's favorite food in it, and hide it aside. When the viper was attracted in, I quickly tied up the bag and brought it to the school. She said it in a very methodical way, and it really worked.
Du Bazi thought about it, worried that Yifang would blame, so he hurriedly slapped Bailing's face first: "You kid, what are you talking nonsense!" What kind of grudge do you have against Princess Guantao, and why do you want to harm her like this? Don't talk nonsense about things you haven't done, it's not child's play! ”
But Bai Ling did not shut up, but raised his head high: "I do things by myself, since I have done it, we must have the courage to admit it, this is the truth that Lord Chao taught us." ”
Although Chao Cuo is called Princess Guantao's companion, he actually serves as a teacher-like position in the school, often giving lectures to princes and princesses, and sometimes talking about what he has seen and heard outside. This has attracted the love of many people, including Princess Bailing.
"Since you said that you did it, then you should tell me, why did you want to harm Guantao?" Yifang was much calmer than Du Bazi, she saw that Guantao was fine, so she also calmed down, and what she wanted to figure out at this time was what Bailing wanted to achieve.
"Because Sister Guantao loves to play tricks on Lord Chao." Bai Ling blurted out, looking at Guan Tao's eyes full of disgust, "Lord Chao is so good to us, but Sister Guan Tao thinks about how to trick him all day long, and has made Lord Chao disgraced several times." I really can't see it, if I can have a companion like Master Chao, I will never be like Sister Guantao. ”
"I see." Yifang no longer had the intention of punishing Bailing at this time. She had long known that Guantao was accustomed to lawlessness by those eunuchs and grandmothers who served her closely, and she thought that when she grew up, she would teach her well, but she didn't expect to reveal the problem now. In that case, it is necessary to lead her to the right path sooner.
"Beauty, Bailing, she is bold and reckless, and the concubine ......" Du Bazi begged for mercy for her daughter as soon as she opened her mouth, but Yifang quickly stopped her.
"This matter is not just Bailing's fault, you don't have to worry."
After Yi Fang finished speaking, he turned to Liu Yan and beckoned to her gently. When the girl saw that her trick was revealed by Bai Ling, she retreated to the back quietly, and there was a little more fear in her eyes. She knew that although Yifang usually spoiled her, she would not let her mess around in the face of major issues of right and wrong.
"Guantao, don't you like Lord Chao?" Yifang didn't have the anger that Liu Yan expected, but asked her gently.
Liu Yan thought about it seriously, but she was still silent. Yifang waited for a while, and when she saw that she still didn't say anything, she pretended to mention: "Since you don't like Lord Chao, then mother doesn't force it, and he won't be your companion from now on." Bai Ling likes Lord Chao, so I fulfilled her. What do you think? ”
Bai Ling was suddenly overjoyed and was about to kowtow to thank him, but Guan Tao shouted excitedly: "I don't want it!" ”
"Since you don't like Lord Chao, why not arrange him to be Bailing's companion?" Yifang deliberately asked her.
From the very beginning, Yifang saw that the child Guantao obviously liked Chao Cuo very much, but because he was naughty and awkward, he was unwilling to tell his true feelings. In that case, she, as a mother, will help her.
"Who said I don't like Lord Chao anymore!" Concubine Liu was really anxious.
Yi Fang turned to Chao Cuo at this time: "That's it, since the two of them caused this incident because of you, then it's up to you to decide." I'm going to ask you seriously, would you like to stay with Princess Guantao, or would you like to be Princess Bailing's companion? ”
Chao Cuo walked to Guantao's side without hesitation: "The minister has always gotten along well with the princess, although the princess loves to laugh occasionally, but she is still very good to the minister." The minister also saw that Princess Guantao was smart and clever, and hoped that she could accompany the princess for a long time in the future. ”
Yi Fang glanced at Bai Ling with his residual vision, and sure enough, he saw that her eyes dimmed, it seems that what this kid said is true, she really wants to teach Guan Tao a lesson just for Chao Mistake.
"Since you choose so, then I will fulfill you, and you will stay by Guantao's side in the future." After Yi Fang finished speaking, he faced Liu Yan again, "But Guan Tao, you also have to pay attention to your words and deeds, and you can't play tricks on Chao at will in the future, you must learn from him, and you can't hold a grudge against Bailing because of this." ”
"My daughter remembered, thank you mother." Guan Tao had just experienced the panic of being snatched away by Chao Cuo, and he was much more well-behaved at this time.
Yifang did not punish Du Bazi's mother and daughter, but only warned a few words. She knew that Bailing's nature was not bad, and he had not been favored by Liu Heng for many years, which was pitiful. It would be too harsh to punish her for this.
Du Bazi listened to Yifang's meaning, and really thanked her a thousand times, and took Bailing back, saying that he would educate her well. Even if this is the case, Yifang is also relieved to continue to stay in the school to study.
But Guan Tao was just a little more well-behaved in front of Yifang, and as soon as Yifang left, she became active again. However, she is still a little sorry for Chao Mistake. Obviously, he wanted to play a prank first, but he didn't expect that in the face of danger, he saved himself.
"That, Chao Wrong, this princess has a problem, if you can answer it, this princess will no longer play tricks on you. If you can't answer, you will have to make cows and horses for this princess in the future, and you are not allowed to go to your mother. ”
Looking at Guan Tao's little face with her waist crossed and her head held high, Chao Cuo suddenly became a little interested, and she didn't know what kind of problem she could come up with at such a young age.
Chao Cuo nodded: "Then just like the princess said, if the minister answers correctly, the princess must study hard every day." ”
"No problem." She thought about this problem for a long time, and asked several eunuchs to do experiments, thinking that it would be difficult to make mistakes, so she happily took it out.
"Princess, please ask the question!" Chao Cuo is also full of confidence.
"Come, bring me what Princess Ben has prepared." As soon as Concubine Liu gave the order, a eunuch came up with a plate containing eight jade pendants and five bags.
"You have to put all the jade pendants here into the bag, but make sure that the number of jade pendants in each bag is an even number, and there must be no empty bags."
"That's it?" Chao Cuo felt that this problem was too simple, but thinking that no matter how smart Liu Fei was, she was just a two-year-old child, and she was relieved.
"That's it, if you have an idea, answer it quickly!" Concubine Liu's face had a hint of arrogance.
Chao Cuo divided the eight jade pendants into four parts, two for each of them, and put them into four bags, and then put the four bags into the last bag together.
"That's it."
"You, how easy did you answer? I thought about it for days! Concubine Liu was shocked.
"The princess is smart, but the world is so big, there are many wonders, and there are many mysteries, and you need to gradually understand the princess, don't rest on your laurels!"
