Chapter 2: Not Knowing Each Other (1)

At that time, Qian Qian had already become a chic eldest lady, and according to her father's words, she should marry and find a good family.

As the only girl in Baifu, her parents naturally love Qianqian, and her brother Qianchen became an important minister of the court because of his meritorious service to the border, holding 300,000 troops, and became the important minister of the great prince, and the eldest prince is deeply loved by the emperor, and the one who will rule the world in the future must be the great prince.

The relationship between the Bai family and the eldest prince is very good, Bai Jiacheng naturally wants to send his daughter to the eldest prince, so as to promote a good relationship, and at the same time, the Bai family has a stable backer in the imperial court.

This naturally has more advantages than Lingfu, although Lingxiao of Lingfu is in power in Yanzhou, although he is young, but in the two years he has been in power in Yanzhou, the population of Yanzhou has increased by more than 200,000, and the people are politically clear, and the people live in peace, and Lingxiao has also won the hearts of the people.

Even so, Bai Jiacheng knew that Ling Xiao did not have much contact with other princes in the court, and only had a little communication with the third prince, so he couldn't see the intention of currying favor, so he didn't think they had a deep relationship.

The strong survive, the officialdom is unpredictable, and Ling Xiao is not a suitable backer.

It turned out that the three princes won the hearts of the emperor, but in recent years, for some reason, the ministers of the court and the central government can see that the emperor and the eldest prince are intent on weakening the power of the three princes.

Moreover, Bai Jiacheng needs to assist both the emperor and the new emperor in governing the great cause of the country, and he needs to be trusted by the new emperor in the future.

Because he had fought side by side with the emperor on the battlefield, life and death were accompanied by weal and woe just for this country, his current task is to assist the king in governing the country, and because he has his family behind him, he must give them a solid backing.

The wind and rain are shaking, the red lights are swaying, there is a kind of silence and panic in the imperial city, the palace ladies hurriedly walk through the corridor with their heads down, in the emperor's bedroom, several people are solemn in front of the emperor's sickbed, and a heavy wheezing and coughing sound breaks the silence of the palace.

The imperial doctor knelt in front of the dragon bed, put away the medicine box, and handed the prescription in his hand to the eunuch Zhang Gonggong next to him.

"The emperor is fine, this prescription is three times a day, considering the weakness of the dragon's body, this prescription is mild but the medicine is slow, but it should improve after five days"

Gonggong Zhang took the prescription, and the imperial doctor hurriedly left with the medicine box on his back.

The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are all here."

He tried hard to sit up, and the queen who was standing on the side walked to the dragon couch in a panic and bent down to help the emperor straighten his body.

"Your Majesty, your dragon body is not safe, and sitting up is not conducive to recovery!" The queen said with concern in her eyes full of distress.

The emperor raised his hand, "I know that time is short, and I still have a lot of things to explain!" ”

"Your Majesty! Don't talk nonsense! The queen gently patted the emperor on the back.

"The emperor must not be overly talked!" Bai Ka-shing kowtowed again.

"Father, my son believes that my father's illness will be cured soon!" The eldest prince knelt on the ground with his hands clenched into fists, and was deeply affectionate.

At this time, only the queen, the eldest prince and Bai Jiacheng were in the room.

"Okay, let's get down to business, I have been the emperor for more than 14 years, you are all my most trusted people, General Bai, you have been fighting on the battlefield with me for ten years, assisting me in the government for 20 years, I regard you as my own brother, I hope that in the future, when the new emperor ascends the throne, you can also assist him in the affairs of the government."

"Please rest assured, the loyalty of the ministers can be seen by the sun and the moon!"

"Yue'er, you are now my favorite son, remember, in the future, General Bai will be like your uncle"

"Erchen keep it in mind!"

"Then there is the matter of the three princes, no matter what the three princes do in the future, I know your thoughts. On weekdays, you have a lot of disputes in the court, but I don't want you to kill each other, although he is at fault, but it is not a big mistake, but he is too disagreeable to me, many years ago I pinned my hopes on him, but he has a discord with me for a woman who only has a one-year relationship, and his feelings will only ruin a big thing! The second prince won't talk about it."

As for the life of the second prince when he indulges in wine ponds and meat forests every day or is drunk with paper and gold.

"Isn't the third prince still a concubine? Why do you have a discord with the emperor for the sake of a woman? ”

"Because of the aspect of Wu to seek peace, want to marry the second princess of the mirror princess to the third prince, although Wu is not a big country, but Wu is a fortress of transportation and military defense in our southwest region, and the alliance with Wu is beneficial and harmless, marrying the second princess can show their sincerity, everyone knows that the third prince was valued by me at that time, but these three princes are too disappointed to me! He even refused to take a concubine! ”

"Ahem, cough, cough..."Suddenly there was a violent cough, which seemed to be on the body of the ghost, constantly tossing...

"Your Majesty!"

"It's... Ahem, a few days of government and political events... It's all over to cough cough... You deal with it! ”

"Father, don't talk, I just ask my father to recuperate with peace of mind these days, and I and my second and third brothers will handle all major affairs in the court! Uncle Bai's suggestion will also be adopted! Please rest assured that your father will recuperate! ”

"I... There's one more thing I want to ask General Makoto for."

"Your Majesty, you said that the minister will definitely do it!"

"I know that you have a beloved daughter under your knees, and I want to give her a marriage, does the eldest prince have any objections?"

"Erchen has no objection!"

"Minister... Got it! ”

……

"You want to marry your daughter to the eldest prince!" Mrs. Bai's Zhang Caixin's eyes were full of surprise.

"My daughter is also blessed to marry in the past, what are you worried about?"

"Nope! Don't you really understand that our daughter likes Lingxiao?! ”

"What if you know, what if you don't know? She enjoys the glory and wealth brought to her by her father, and she must also bear the responsibility of a prosperous family! ”

"Bai Jiacheng, you can't do this!" Zhang Caixin was enraged, walked to the table, flicked his sleeves and sat on the wooden bench, looking angry.

As a mother, she once promised Qian Qian that she would marry whoever she wanted, after all, this is her daughter's happiness, and now Bai Jiacheng is doing this, won't it ruin her daughter's happiness again, but also ruin a mother's promise to her daughter!

"This matter, we can't help it! I'm also here for our family. After finishing speaking, Bai Jiacheng bowed his head to the door and sighed.

"Bai Jiacheng, how can you make me look good at you like this?"

"Don't worry, I will naturally not force this on my daughter's head, ten days later, the emperor will give the eldest prince a birthday feast, and I invite all the ministers and princes to participate, and I will also take my daughter there" Bai Jiacheng paused slightly and looked at Caixin, and said slowly, "You should understand, I will still respect my daughter's choice." ”

"I hope so." After listening to what Bai Ka-shing said, Cai Xin suddenly realized what Bai Ka-shing meant.

"When you promised me, I said that I would do my best to give you happiness! Including my daughter! Bai Ka-shing walked towards Caixin with a smile, just like when they fought side by side on the battlefield and won the victory, he looked back at Caixin with a smile.

At that time, Caixin was only an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, and Bai Ka-shing was ten years older than him, because of the war in exile, Bai Jiacheng met Zhang Caixin on the way to the journey, in order to repay Bai Ka-shing's life-saving grace, Zhang Caixin has been following behind Bai Ka-shing in the next few years, and even risked his life to sneak into the enemy.

Although Zhang Caixin is already in his thirties, the charm of the country and the city has not diminished, Bai Ka-shing picked up his wife horizontally, and it is the greatest luck in his life to be able to marry the woman in his arms!

Two days later, Bai Ka-shing summoned his daughter.

"Dad, mother, what are you looking for me?" Bai Jiacheng and Zhang Caixin chatted in the Liuzhen Pavilion in the back garden of Baifu, and when they saw their daughter coming over, they dismissed the maids who served tea and poured water next to them.

Qian Qian walked to her father's side, sat on the stone bench with her buttocks, and wondered why her father was looking for her, and her father and mother weighed what it was not her turn to participate.

Zhang Caixin looked at her daughter's confused eyes and said to her, "Qian'er, do you want to go to the palace to have a look?" ”

"What are you doing in the palace? Although I've been depressed in the house recently, it's better to go out and play when I enter the palace! In this way, I can also play with Brother Ling Xiao."

Zhang Caixin glanced at Bai Jiacheng and smiled helplessly, "Look at your daughter's wild temperament! I know to play with that kid from Ling Xiao all day long."

"Hey! You're not right, what do you mean by wild? My daughter is kind-natured, and she is smarter and smarter than other girls."

"Which side are you on Bai Jiacheng?"

"Okay, okay, mom and dad, don't quarrel, let's get down to business!"

"Qian'er, listen up, five days later, the emperor will give the eldest prince's birthday ceremony, and all the ministers will go to the palace to congratulate the eldest prince on his birthday, and my father and mother want to take you to have a fun, whether you go or not, all your wishes are all in you." After Bai Jiacheng finished speaking, he smiled confidently, picked up the tea around him, and took a leisurely sip.

"Naturally, you have to go!" On the birthday of the eldest prince, Brother Ling Xiao will definitely go. Although Brother Ling Xiao is a small county guard who is alone, the power of the Ling Mansion behind him should not be underestimated. The Ling Mansion can be said to be a big family that goes hand in hand with the Bai family, because the younger brother of the Empress Dowager is Ling Xiao's father, and the Ling Mansion is also the object of the Empress Dowager's full protection, and the people in the Ling family's mansion have always been officials and won the trust of the Empress Dowager.

"Qian'er understands, then I won't say much!"

Qian Qian thought for a moment, isn't this emperor critically ill? How can you still be in the mood to celebrate the birthday of the eldest prince? Could it be that he is preparing for the enthronement of the eldest prince. But shouldn't the succession of this great prince be justified? Why does the emperor bother to show the importance of the eldest prince? Is there a way to seal the disgruntled people in the court?

All this can only be coriander's guess. Don't ask Qianqian why she knows that the emperor is critically ill, her father works under the emperor, Qianqian's head can't be idle, she is bored in the mansion on weekdays, it's interesting to inquire about a little news, and the power of the Bai family is effortless to inquire about the news.
