Chapter 523: The matter of harmony is not negotiable

During the whole meal, Bai Guanguan didn't say a word, just ate the food on the table, and his mood suddenly relaxed.

Until he finished eating and left the Heart Cultivation Palace, he was still a little unclear.

She thought that the emperor would definitely reprimand her when he called him over today, and he would say that she was jealous; At the same time, she will also be asked to comfort Huang Fuzhao and marry the princess of Xishang.

But she didn't expect that the emperor didn't say a word about that matter, and felt like he didn't care at all.

Very puzzled, the emperor asked her to go on such a trip, just to let her eat?

When he arrived at the East Palace, Huangfu Zhao was already waiting outside the palace, and when he saw Bai Guanguan coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, with a worried face, "Guan'er, what did your father say when he summoned you over?" ”

Following Huangfu Zhao into the dormitory, Bai Wanguan shook his head, with a look of confusion in his eyes, "I didn't say anything." ”

It was true that he didn't say anything, he just ate.

And Bai Guanguan is like this, Huangfu Zhao thought that she didn't want to say it, and even felt that her father must have reprimanded her, and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, "Guan'er, I'm sorry, I have caused you a burden." ”

Seeing that Huangfu Zhao suddenly apologized to himself, Bai Guanguan was stunned, "Really, the emperor didn't say anything, just let me go to the Heart Cultivation Hall for a meal." ”

"Eat?" Huangfu Zhao frowned, looking puzzled.

"Well," nodded, Bai Guanguan walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, "It's true that I only ate a meal, and I didn't say a word about Princess Xishang, so I was a little puzzled." ”

As he spoke, Bai Guanguan took off his shoes, turned around and lay on the bed, and sighed secretly, "Ah, I'm so full of food, I want to sleep." ”

Knowing that Bai Guanguan, who was pregnant, was more sleepy, Huangfu Zhao covered her with a thin quilt and patted her gently, "Sleep if you want!" ”

"Well," nodding, Bai Guanguan took Huang Fuzhao's hand and closed his eyes and fell asleep, without thinking about anything more, since the emperor didn't reprimand her, it wasn't very good.

Seeing Bai Wanguan fall asleep, Huangfu Zhao's eyes were complicated, and he felt a little unclear.

Lately, my father has behaved a little differently than before, and he has always felt a little harsh and less kind to him.

However, for Bai Guanguan, there is some extra indulgence.

Could it be because she is pregnant with an heir?

Bai Guanguan slept until noon, and when he woke up, Huangfu Zhao was sitting at the table, holding his head with his palms and thinking about something, when he heard the voice on the bed, he turned his eyes and saw that Bai Guanguan was awake, so he quickly got up and walked in front of her, helped her get up and sat up, "Awake?" Hungry? ”

"I'm not hungry," shook his head, and Bai Wanguan put on his shoes and stood up, stretching.

She had eaten too much in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and she still felt a hint of support.

Turning his eyes to look at Huangfu Zhao, he saw that his brows were furrowed, as if he was bothered by something, and asked, "That's it?" ”

Why do you look so unhappy?

Shaking his head, Huangfu Zhao helped Bai Guanguan to the side and sat down, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, "Just now the emperor sent someone to say that Nangong Qingling, the princess of Xishang, will arrive on the fifth day, and he also said......"

"What?" Seeing Huangfu Zhao's tone, Bai Guanguan's brows were furrowed, and his face was embarrassed.

"Hey......" Huang Fu Zhao's face turned pale, "He also said that after Nangong Qingling arrived, he would get married in three days." ”

“……”

Hearing Huangfu Zhao say this, Bai Guanguan closed his mouth tightly and did not speak, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

Just now, when she was in the Heart Cultivation Palace, she should have asked the emperor, why is it Huangfu Zhao every time she is married, he has so many sons, can't King Chen? Why him?

Seeing that Bai Guanguan was unhappy, Huangfu Zhao held her in his arms, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, and his face became more and more gloomy.

He didn't expect that this return to the palace would be so unpleasant, this is really a wave of peace, wave after wave.

And Bai Guanguan also thought that the emperor only summoned her to the Heart Cultivation Hall for dinner yesterday, but he didn't expect that the next morning, Father-in-law Gao came again.

When she heard that the emperor had summoned her, she raised her eyebrows, didn't eat breakfast, washed up and left with her father-in-law, and comforted Huangfu Zhao before leaving, "Don't worry, today I will ask the emperor why he wants to marry a Western businessman." ”

Seeing Bai Guanguan's angry expression, Huangfu Zhao was a little worried, and wanted to go with her, but she refused.

The emperor said that he would summon her, but he didn't say that he would see Huang Fuzhao, so Huang Fuzhao would definitely not be able to pass.

Remembering that the emperor treated her well yesterday, Bai Guanguan planned to ask what was going on today.

Sure enough, when we arrived at the Heart Cultivation Temple, the table was full of dishes again; Although Bai Guanguan didn't understand the emperor's actions, he only regarded him as wanting to care about the child in her belly.

He bowed down to the emperor and saluted, "See the emperor." ”

Looking at Bai Wanguan, the emperor pointed to the seat on the side, only two words, "Eat!" ”

"Well," nodded heavily, Bai Wanguan sat on the stool, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, but in his heart he was wondering how to ask Princess Xishang about it.

Until he was almost finished, he licked the corner of his lower lip, looked directly at the emperor in a blink of an eye, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, there are some things that the courtiers don't know whether to say or not." ”

Seeing that Bai Guanguan finally held back his words, the emperor put down his chopsticks and looked at Bai Guanguan, only one word, "Say." ”

Secretly swallowing his saliva, Bai Guanguan said the wording he had thought of, "Since, Nangong Ming had bad intentions when he came to make peace last time, why did the emperor agree to make peace with Western businessmen." ”

knew that Bai Guanguan would ask these questions, thinking of Nangong Ming, a sneer flashed in the emperor's eyes, "Western businessmen came to make peace this time, but they just wanted to seek refuge." ”

"Although I have the heart to unify the four countries, the time has not yet come."

"Therefore, we must maintain the state of the four kingdoms, otherwise as soon as my Eastern Jin Dynasty grows, Western Shang, Southern Chu, and Northern Liang will feel precarious, and it is very likely that the three kingdoms will unite to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty together."

"Besides, no matter what happens in the future, throughout the ages, as long as you initiate harmony, you can't refuse; Otherwise, they will be considered to look down on other countries; This is also very dangerous. ”

Hearing what the emperor said, Bai Guanguan nodded clearly, "So the emperor agreed to make peace, just to maintain the state of the four kingdoms, in case the three kingdoms unite and attack our country?" ”

"Yes," nodded, the emperor looked at Bai Guanguan, and a wise light flashed in his eyes, "Therefore, the matter of harmony is not negotiable." ”

"......" felt that the emperor seemed to see his thoughts, although Bai Guanguan was a little hesitant, but he still said the question in his heart, "Then why, every time it's Huangfu Zhao, it's wrong...... It's the crown prince. ”

"Isn't there still Huangfu Chen? Forehead...... No, it's King Chen? ”
