Brother Gu downstairs?

Shen Bai glanced down from the window of the private room, there were people coming and going downstairs, and the carriage stopped quietly at the door, and there was no Gu Hengzhou.

Zhou Jue knew that Gu Hengzhou was not there as soon as he saw Shen Bai's expression, and deliberately said: "Brother Gu should just pass by, it can't be that he came to you specifically, don't think too much." “

Shen Bai turned around and gave him a roll of the eyes, sat back at the table and continued to eat, finally being able to slaughter him, she would not be polite.

Zhou Jue was scolded by Shen Bai a lot before, and his mouth couldn't be idle at this time, and he whispered: "I've recovered my daughter's body, why don't you eat at all?" Taifu Mansion is abusing you and not giving you food or something, like a starving ghost reincarnated. “

This person really owes his mouth, and not a word of what he says is what Shen Bai likes to hear.

Shen Bai couldn't stand it, so he pulled a duck leg and stuffed it to block Zhou Jue's mouth.

Zhou Jue's eyes widened and he wanted to speak, Wu Shouxin chuckled and said, "Brother Zhou, Xiaobai is a woman, you have to be generous." “

Cheng, the master is a good man and does not fight with women.

Zhou Jue bit the duck's leg hatefully and stopped talking.

After eating quietly, Shen Bai burped, his mood finally improved, clapped his hands and got up, and said, "I'm going back first, you eat slowly." “

Zhou Jue immediately raised his head and said, "Master has a treat, I don't know how to say thank you?" “

This meal is not cheap, Shen Bai gave Zhou Jue a decent salute, and said: "Congratulations to the Zhou guards, I came in a hurry today, I didn't have a gift, wait for me to go to the workshop to order a good weapon, and send someone to the Zhou Mansion to make a congratulatory gift to the Zhou guards in a while, how about it?" “

The Gongwufang is the only civilian weapons manufacturing workshop in Hanjing, and it is also the industry before the Wei family. In recent years, the Wei family has declined, and the workshop only undertakes the weapons repair work of the Wei Yi Army, and is more to help the people in the city to build daily utensils on weekdays.

Zhou Jue didn't expect Shen Bai to give him a gift, his tone was not good and too blunt, and he said uncomfortably: "Although I don't know how the things you gave are, thank you first." “

The boy's character is awkward.

Shen Bai wanted to laugh a little, and said softly: "Let's go." “

After finishing speaking, he took Mama Ye and them out of the private room, and after getting into the car, Shen Bai lifted the curtain and looked around, Gu Hengzhou was indeed not there.

Although he hadn't seen him for a few months, Cha Bai could still see that Shen Bai was looking for Gu Hengzhou, and said in a low voice: "The slave maid just saw His Royal Highness the Prince of the World's expression, but what misunderstanding did the young lady have with His Royal Highness the Prince?" “

Shen Bai shook his head.

There is no misunderstanding, it's just that she may make Gu Hengzhou a little embarrassed, from the perspective of a bystander, the second room takes a lot of advantage of the big house, and the posture is still very arrogant, but for Gu Hengzhou, the people in the second room are his relatives, and they have a blood relationship with him and a relationship for nearly 20 years.

Shen Bai had such a stiff quarrel with Ye Wanyu today, he would find it more or less difficult to do.

But Shen Bai doesn't regret it, she can be kind to Gu Hengzhou unconditionally, but she can't tolerate Ye Wanyu and let herself be wronged because of this.

The carriage soon arrived at the Taifu Mansion, and Shen Ruxiu had already returned from the next dynasty, so he should have heard about what happened today from the Sun family, and he was waiting in Shuyun Yuan early.

As soon as Shen Bai entered the door, he saw him standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back with a sad face.

Mama Ye retreated with the green tip tea, Shen Bai walked in front of Shen Ruxiu, thinking that he would enlighten and comfort himself with sensationalism, but he didn't expect Shen Ruxiu to stretch out his hand, take out a bird cage covered with a black cloth from behind, and said unnaturally: "Come back today." I accidentally saw that this bird could talk, and I thought you might like it, so I bought it back. “

Shen Bai wanted to laugh a little, Old Man Shen was not a comforting person, knowing that she had been wronged by Ye Wanyu, he could only comfort her in this way.

However, in the previous life, Shen Bai bought a parrot and wanted to give it to Gu Hengzhou, Shen Ruxiu kept saying that she was discouraged by her plaything, but now she personally bought a bird to give it to her, which was quite surprising to Shen Bai in comparison.

Shen Bai looked at the bird cage and deliberately asked: "Dad, men who play with birds will be said to be playthings, and now that I have recovered my daughter's body, if people know that I raise birds to play, won't I be laughed at to death?" “

Shen Ruxiu said gently: "You just raise it in your own yard to relieve your fatigue, who dares to laugh at you?" “

Old man Shen is now much more enlightened.

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows, no longer shirked, took the birdcage and held it in his hand, looked at Shen Ruxiu calmly and said, "Dad, thank you." I'm causing trouble for you again today. “

Shen Ruxiu rubbed her head and sighed: "Many times I hope that you are really a man." “

In this way, you don't have to be constrained by so many rules, and you don't have to be burdened by the eyes of the world, and you can display your talents arbitrarily.

Shen Ruxiu didn't say the latter words, but Shen Bai had already guessed it, she smiled slightly, and said, "Everything is God's best arrangement, Dad doesn't have to think too much." “

In her last life, she had experienced enough of being a man, and now it is good to be able to recover her daughter body and be a woman.

Shen Bai's tone was not resentful, Shen Ruxiu's worry was much lessened, and he didn't say anything more, just let Shen Bai have a good rest.

After Shen Ruxiu left, Shen Bai returned to the bedroom with the birdcage, it was already past noon, the sun was very big, and the house was very hot, Cha Bai brought a basin of water to let Shen Bai wash his face.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard an unfamiliar voice shouting: "Brother Gu is mighty, Brother Gu is the coolest in the world!" “

Cha Bai was taken aback. Asked: "What sound?" “

Shen Bai didn't answer, he lifted the black cloth on the birdcage, and a green-haired parrot came into view, this parrot was only the size of a palm, with a small handful of white feathers on the top of its head, and its mung bean-sized eyes were spinning, smaller than when Shen Bai saw it in his previous life.

Green tip came in with a basin of ice to cool down, saw an extra parrot, and said in surprise: "What a beautiful parrot, did the master give it to Miss?" “

This bird was given to Shen Bai by Shen Ruxiu, Shen Bai had never seen it before in this life, but how could it just shout out what Shen Bai had taught it in the previous life?

Shen Bai pursed his lips, his expression was serious, and he called tentatively: "Xiao Yunyun? “

Gu Hengzhou's mount is called Lieyun, Shen Bai can't think of a good name, so he gave this parrot the name Xiao Yunyun in his last life.

As soon as she had finished calling, the bird immediately replied, "Grandpa is here!" “

The bird speaks clearly and reacts quickly. Cha Bai and Green Tip were both shocked, Green Tip was more lively, and immediately came over, looked at the bird curiously, and asked, "Miss, how do you know that its name is Xiao Yunyun?" It's so smart, it says yes as soon as you call it, and it really doesn't recognize life at all. “

After speaking, Green Tip teased the parrot with his fingertips through the bird cage, and asked softly, "Xiao Yunyun, are you hungry?" “

Shen Bai sat there stiffly and didn't move, his face a little ugly.

This bird is not recognizable, but it is also reborn with the memories of the previous life!

Xiao Yunyun will be reborn, will anyone else be reborn as well? What the hell is all this going on?

Shen Bai was inexplicably a little flustered, now almost everything in her previous life had been changed by her, and she didn't know what would happen in the future, let alone what the ending would be for her and Gu Hengzhou.

Lujian was attracted by Xiao Yunyun's attention, but Cha Bai found that Shen Bai's face was a little pale, twisted the handkerchief and handed it to Shen Bai, saying, "Miss's face is a little bad, is it heat stroke?" Let's wipe my face first, Mama Li asked people to boil mung bean soup, and it will be delivered in a while. “

Shen Bai came back to his senses and absentmindedly wiped his face with a handkerchief.

Xiao Yunyun stayed in the cage, and no matter how much Greentip teased him, he didn't open his mouth anymore.

Shen Bai stabilized his mind and said to Lujian: "You go and get some broken rice and sunflower seeds for it, it will eat it." “

Lujian was full of interest, and immediately went to get food for Xiao Yunyun, Chabai twisted the handkerchief again to help Shen Bai wipe her hands, and seeing that her hands were a little cold, she couldn't help asking: "Miss, are you not feeling well?" “

Shen Bai shook his head, rubbed his temples, decided to ignore this for now, and shifted his attention and asked, "Why did Uncle Guo suddenly let you back?" “

Cha Bai said truthfully: "Uncle Guo asked the slave and maid to come back to pack up their things, and after a while, he will go with him to Nanxiang Kingdom." “

Wei Ruzhao is really ready to go to Nanxiang Kingdom to revive the Wei family.

Shen Bai was not surprised. Wen Sheng asked: "This time you will go to Nanxiang with the five princes of Nanxiang, in addition to the bumpy journey along the way, it should be safe, but Uncle Guo's trip is to reconnect the business and trade between Nanxiang and the Wei family, the return date is not certain, and there may be some dangers, no more than being by my side, I can still take care of you when danger occurs, if you don't want to go, I can open my mouth to Uncle Guo??"

Before Shen Bai finished speaking, Cha Bai knelt on the ground and said earnestly: "The slave is willing to follow Uncle Guo!" “

Cha Bai said in a hurry, for fear that Shen Bai would ask her back and reveal his thoughts.

At that time, Cha Bai was alone in Lingzhao Palace, and Shen Bai had worried about this problem, but now seeing her like this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and asked, "Do you want to follow Uncle Guo all the time?" “

Cha Bai slammed his head on the ground and said firmly: "The slave and maid know that their status is low, and they dare not go beyond the rules and ask for eternity, and the uncle is now willing to let the slave and maid serve, and the slave and maid want to serve, if he doesn't need it one day, the slave and the maid will return to the young lady, and give the young lady as a cow and a horse, and repay the young lady's great kindness." “

It's rare that she was moved, but she forced herself to stay awake at all times.

People like Wei Ruzhao are much more difficult to chase than Gu Hengzhou, and there are thousands of mountains and valleys between Cha Bai and him.

Shen Bai sighed, helped Cha Bai up, and said gently: "I don't have any grace that you need to repay, when you and Lu Jian followed me to Taifu Mansion, you didn't sign a deed of sale, you have always been free, originally I thought that if you meet someone worthy of trust, you will send some money to let you live a stable life, but now it seems that each has its own creation." “

Hearing Shen Bai's plan, Cha Bai's eyes turned red, and he said guiltily: "It was the slave maid who had delusions and failed Miss." “

Wei Ruzhao is outside the world, but she has long been stained with dust, and it is impossible for her to intersect at all.

Shen Bai patted Cha Bai's shoulder and said with relief: "Everyone in the world has desires, if you want to live up to it, I'm still worried that I brought you back from Muzhou and harmed you." “

Cha Bai was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Miss has tormented the slave." “

Shen Bai didn't like to say this kind of polite words, so he took out two travel journals from the bookcase and handed them to her, saying: "This is the travel journal I bought a few years ago, and some of them introduce the customs and customs of Nanxiang Kingdom, which may not be of much help, but it is good for you to understand it in advance." “

Cha Bai was deeply moved, and wanted to kneel down and kowtow again. was stopped by Shen Bai, and said lightly: "You and Lujian were brought back by me from Muzhou, I hope you can do well." “

This sentence is good, it contains a lot of deep meaning, Cha Bai nodded, and quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

After many years of being in the dust, she thought that she would not be so hypocritical and crying for a long time.

Chabai put away the book, brought the water down, Lujian took the broken rice and sunflower seeds, Shen Bai asked her to place Xiao Yunyun on the shelf by the window, watched her put the appropriate amount, and took a teacup for Xiao Yunyun to make a drinking trough before finishing.

No matter how Green Tip teased Xiao Yunyun, Xiao Yunyun didn't speak again, Green Tip called Xiao Yunyun twice more with Shen Bai, Xiao Yunyun only cared about eating, and ignored the two of them, Green Tip was a little disappointed, thinking that Xiao Yunyun's previous promise to Shen Bai was just a coincidence.

Shen Bai just listened without explaining.

The matter of rebirth is too suspenseful, and even Shen Bai himself can't explain the principle clearly, and ordinary people are afraid that they can't accept it.

Eating a little full in the Crane Chasing Tower, Shen Bai looked at the green tip and teased Xiao Yunyun for a while, he was a little sleepy, there was nothing to do left and right, he lay down in bed and rested in the morning, the tea white lit mosquito repellent incense, and the green tip sat next to him with a fan to help her fan the wind, and Shen Bai quickly fell asleep.

This time she didn't sleep very well, she had an unreal dream, she couldn't see or hear what was happening in the dream, the whole person was like a cloud, she only knew that she had been moving forward, as if she was looking for someone.

I don't know how long I slept, a roar came into my ears, Shen Bai finally woke up, rubbed his head and sat up, and saw Xiao Yunyun fluttering his wings in the cage by the window.

Lujian fell asleep lying on the side of the bed, Cha Bai was embroidering things outside, seeing Shen Bai wake up, he hurriedly put down the things in his hand, but the door was knocked, and Mama Ye's voice came from outside, and she said in a deep voice: "Miss, someone is here in the palace." “

Cha Bai immediately responded: "Miss just woke up, Grandma wait, the slave maid will immediately groom Miss." “

Lujian also woke up, and the two of them helped Shen Bai change his clothes and comb his hair, so that the people in the palace could not wait for a long time, so they only gave Shen Bai a lipstick, and did not apply grease and powder.

Everything was ready, Shen Bai went out and walked to the front hall with Mama Ye.

Shen Ruxiu was also there, and standing in the hall was Sun Yuehai, the head of internal affairs.

Sun Yuehai waited for a quarter of an hour, and without waiting for Shen Bai to speak, he preemptively said: "Your Majesty has summoned, the carriage is already waiting at the door, and the sky has changed." Maybe it will rain heavily in a while, Miss Shen should follow the old slave into the palace. “

The day before Shen Bai went to bed was still sunny, but now the sky became dark and gloomy, as if it was about to collapse, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Shen Bai didn't delay, he said to Shen Ruxiu and walked out with Sun Yuehai, Mama Ye also wanted to follow, Sun Yuehai said: "Mama doesn't have to follow, Your Majesty only summoned Miss Shen alone." Mama Ye had to stop.

Shen Bai and Sun Yuehai went out together, and after getting into the car, the guards immediately rushed to the palace.

The sky changed, the wind was blowing, there were no pedestrians on the street, the carriage curtains were blown over, Shen Bai was a little uneasy, and he suddenly saw a person wearing a black cloak on the corner of the street.

At this time, there is no sun, and the wind is still very strong, which is much cooler than in the afternoon. But this man is wearing a cloak and a hat, and he almost completely wraps himself up, which is really abnormal.

The curtains were blown up and down, and Shen Bai immediately rushed over and lifted the curtains, and the street corners were empty, except for the leaves and dust that were blown everywhere by the wind, there was nothing.

Shen Bai frowned, and slowly lowered the curtains until the carriage passed the corner.

It's weird.

From Xiao Yunyun to this person, everything that happened today is too strange.

Shen Bai became more and more uneasy, but he couldn't think of a reason.

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the palace, when Shen Bai got off, it was almost dark, and the wind was so strong that he wanted to blow people away.

Halfway through, the crackling sound hit the eaves, and it wasn't raining. It's the hail that falls.

The thumb-sized ice beans scrambled to smash down, and Sun Yuehai took Shen Bai to the nearest corridor to hide, not daring to move forward.

As soon as the ice beans came, the hot heat suddenly dissipated, and the palace people also found a place to hide and stop walking.

The snow in June is a monstrous grievance, so what does it mean to hail today?

Shen Bai looked at the sky with a deep face, and unconsciously gently rubbed the white jade bracelet on his wrist, the bracelet was moist, and there was already her body temperature on it.

Sun Yuehai didn't do anything else, noticed Shen Bai's small movements, and praised with a smile: "Miss Shen's bracelet is very beautiful." “

Shen Bai gathered his thoughts and said softly: "It's my mother's dowry, I like it very much." “

Sun Yuehai has served in the palace for many years, and he has also seen Shen Bai's mother, thinking of the gentle and demure woman, he said more: "Mrs. Shen is very good, she was similar to the former queen back then, and she is also a famous lady in Hanjing." “

Shen Bai smiled. She actually heard a lot about her mother's past, before the first queen did not marry Emperor Hengde, her mother's reputation was even greater than that of the first queen, and when she married her father, it was also a sensation.

But the most comments about her mother in later generations are only four words: red face and thin life.

Shen Bai didn't like this evaluation, and he didn't continue the topic with Sun Yuehai.

The weather gets fast and the sunny weather goes fast.

After a quarter of an hour, the hail stopped, the dark sky quickly cleared, the bright sun poured down, and the ice beans all over the ground reflected a brilliant light, and it was still beautiful.

All the palace people came out to clean the road, and checked everywhere to see if there was anything that had been damaged, and Sun Yuehai took Shen Bai to continue to the imperial study.

After a stick of incense, the two came to the outside of the imperial study, Sun Yuehai knocked on the door first, and Emperor Hengde's voice immediately sounded: "Come in!" “

Sun Yuehai pushed open the door and respectfully turned sideways to let Shen Bai in.

There was only Emperor Hengde alone in the imperial study. He was dealing with the twists and turns in front of the desk, the weather was dark before, the palace people lit the lamp in the house, opened the window to let the cool breeze in, it was almost evening, the sun was slanting in the west, and through the window it was just shining on the lamp and candle in Emperor Hengde's hand, inexplicably, Shen Bai thought of the everlasting lamp in the mythological chronicles.

The candle flame was blown by the wind, Shen Bai walked to Emperor Hengde and knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "Courtier Shen Bai, please meet Your Majesty." “

She saluted in strict accordance with the rules taught by Mama Ye, folded her hands on top of her head, and her smooth forehead slammed against the thick and soft carpet, silently, and it didn't hurt at all.

Emperor Hengde didn't respond, and Shen Bai kept kneeling in this position.

I don't know how long it took, but Emperor Hengde finally finished dealing with the book in his hand. Shen Bai felt that he was looking at himself scrutinically, and his whole body tensed, and it took a while to hear him ask, "I heard that you made a big fuss in the Guogong Mansion today?" “

Hanjing is quite big, but some things spread quickly.

Shen Bai did all this, there was nothing to hide, he straightened up and replied calmly: "Back to Your Majesty, yes." “

Emperor Hengde asked: "You said that you are not a son of the world and will not marry, what you do today, are you afraid that you will never be able to enter the Guogong Mansion again?" “

Emperor Hengde is full of opportunities, not like a person who will have leisure to gossip about such trivial things.

Shen Bai felt a little strange, but still said truthfully: "I do want to marry Brother Gu, but Brother Gu, like Zhenguo Gong, will guard the border in the future, if I marry him, I will definitely get together less and leave more with Brother Gu in the future, but I will get along with the second uncle and aunt for a longer time, if I endure the grievances today, there will be endless troubles, it is better to show my true attitude from the beginning, I believe that Brother Gu is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong." “

Emperor Hengde sneered: "You can figure it out." “

Of course, Shen Bai figured it out, the first queen endured all kinds of difficulties of the queen mother for Emperor Hengde, and always wanted to have a good relationship with the queen mother, but in the end?

The Queen Mother not only did not have the slightest feeling, but also teamed up with the Li family to kill her, and even many years after her death, she still had a lot of complaints about her.

With the example of the first queen in the past, Shen Bai naturally would not make the same mistake again.

However, Shen Bai would not say this kind of thing in front of Emperor Hengde, after all, the first empress has been dead for many years, and she has long become the untouchable scale of Emperor Hengde.

Shen Bai didn't answer, and after being silent for a while, Emperor Hengde asked again: "What do you think of the five princes of Nanxiang Kingdom?" “

Just now, Emperor Hengde was still talking about Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou, and suddenly jumped to Murong Xuan, Shen Bai immediately became vigilant, thought for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is sincere, benevolent and righteous, and is a person who can be befriended and trusted, although he suffered a little grievance in Zhaoling this time, but Shen Bai believes that after His Royal Highness returns to Nanxiangguo, he will definitely not say that Zhaoling is not good." “

As soon as Shen Bai finished speaking, Emperor Hengde immediately said: "Maybe not before, but that day at the Su family's family banquet, you refused his marriage in front of so many people, how can you be sure that he will still be as you say?" “

Emperor Hengde's words were unclear, and Shen Bai looked at him in surprise.

So many days have passed since the Su family banquet, if Emperor Hengde wanted to ask about the sin, he should have asked a long time ago, how could he wait until today?

Shen Bai didn't know what Emperor Hengde had in mind, his brain was running rapidly, he slammed his head on the ground, and said unswervingly: "Shen Bai is happy with Brother Gu, if you can't marry Brother Gu in this life, I'd rather die!" “

Emperor Hengde asked coldly: "Are you willing to die, and so many people in the Shen family are also willing to bury you?" “

Shen Bai was not afraid, and said word by word: "Everyone has his own fate, if His Majesty insists on tying their fate to Shen Bai, Shen Bai can't do anything." “

She would not be wronged because she liked Gu Hengzhou and tolerated Ye Wanyu. Naturally, he would not carry the dozens of lives of the Shen family on his shoulders.

The people of the Shen family will not die because of her, but only because of the high imperial power.

Shen Baiyou didn't enter, the imperial study fell into a death-like silence, and after a while, Emperor Hengde suddenly chuckled and said, "An hour ago, Xingyuan knelt where you are kneeling now, guess what he said to me?" “

Brother Gu has entered the palace?

Shen Bai was surprised, straightened up and looked at Emperor Hengde, and said obediently: "The courtiers don't dare to speculate, and ask Your Majesty to make it clear." “

Emperor Hengde didn't go around the bend again, and said directly: "He took the iron scroll Danshu that I gave to the Guogong Mansion five years ago and the handwritten letter of the Zhenguo Gong into the palace, asking me to marry you and him." “

actually directly asked Emperor Hengde for marriage.

Shen Bai's eyes flashed with surprise, and Emperor Hengde continued: "Not only that, but he also wants to make you the county lord of Derui, and according to the rules of the county lord, let you marry beautifully." “

Shen Bai's eyes widened slightly, and he was shocked by Emperor Hengde's words.

She has a bad reputation now, and she had a trouble with Ye Wanyu today, I thought that Gu Hengzhou would be a little troubled by this, but I didn't expect him to directly take these things into the palace and make such a request to Emperor Hengde.

"Virtue and wisdom are the highest evaluation of men, even the prince only got a wise word, but he still wants me to give you the word virtue, you ask yourself, Shen Bai, how can you be virtuous?"

Emperor Hengde's voice asked coldly, his eyes were also cold, Shen Bai was shocked, but it was not because he couldn't afford the word Derui, but because he was a little unbearable by Gu Hengzhou's affectionate affection.

How can she be so devoted and loved by that person named Gu Hengzhou?

Everyone in Hanjing knew that she had a bad reputation, and they were still waiting to see her jokes, so Gu Hengzhou begged Derui to be named for her and let her be the county lord, so as to stop everyone's mouths.

She thought it would be good to marry him openly, but he wanted to fight for her to be the county lord. Give her the best and most beautiful wedding.

Shen Bai always thought that a person like Gu Hengzhou was indifferent and not good at words, and it was already the limit to be able to admit in public that he was moved by her, but only now did he know how lucky the person who could be taken to his heart was to get all his favoritism.

His heart was sore and swollen by the warmth, and Shen Bai couldn't help but look at Emperor Hengde and asked, "Your Majesty has allowed it?" “

Shen Bai knew Gu Hengzhou, once he decided to do something, he would not give up easily.

There is a high probability that this thing will come to pass.

"The Gu family has been loyal and good for generations, and the Duke of Zhenguo is even more for Zhaoling Rongma's life, the Gu family has not asked for anything from the royal family for so many years, and now that they finally have something to ask, of course I have no reason to refuse." Emperor Hengde said in a deep voice, but Shen Bai was not in a hurry to be happy, because Emperor Hengde did not directly say that he agreed to this matter, sure enough. The next moment, Shen Bai heard Emperor Hengde say again, "But you're different." “

Shen Bai tensed his body, Emperor Hengde's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, eager to turn into a knife and cut open Shen Bai's skin to see the soul inside.

Emperor Hengde said: "Shen Bai, you are different from ordinary women, your scheming and strategies are far superior to ordinary people, and even I can't see through you. “

The hand hanging on his side clenched into a fist, and Shen Bai couldn't help but argue for himself: "Your Majesty, Shen Bai has no two hearts for Zhaoling and you, if there is half a lie, Shen Bai is willing to be punished by five horses!" “

Shen Bai said resolutely, but Emperor Hengde was unmoved, and said faintly: "You shouldn't be a woman." “

A person with such a scheming city, if it is a man, make good use of it, it will be the blessing of Zhaoling Jiangshan Sheji, but it is just right. She's a woman.

Shen Bai pursed his lips, knowing what Emperor Hengde was afraid of.

For thousands of years, women have been regarded as men's appendages, and those who are too outstanding in appearance will be called red face and trouble, and people like Shen Bai will be criticized by the world.

But she really has no ambitions, all the efforts she has made for so long are just to be with Gu Hengzhou.

At this time, Shen Bai didn't know what else to say, and after being silent for a while, Emperor Hengde said: "You don't have to be so nervous, I have already agreed to go far, but I have two requests." “

Shen Bai looked at Emperor Hengde and listened quietly, Emperor Hengde looked at Shen Bai intently, and said: "The first request, I want you to go to Nanxiang with Uncle Guo this time to maintain the diplomatic relations between Zhaoling and Nanxiang, and reopen the commercial and trade exchanges between the two countries." “

This requirement is not too high, and Emperor Hengde is also worried that Murong Xuan will be angry because of his rejection of marriage, so he asked Shen Bai to go to Nanxiang Kingdom with him.

Shen Bai was not surprised, and Emperor Hengde continued: "When you come back from Nanxiang, I will make you the lord of Derui, and give you and Xingyuan a marriage, but the second requirement is that you must marry the prince three years after he succeeds to the throne, and during these three years, you will assist the prince as the county lord and help him stabilize the foundation." “

If according to the development of the previous life, Emperor Hengde would not die until five years later, and when Zhao Che succeeded to the throne for another three years, it would be the year when Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou died.

At that time, if you get married again, not to mention what will happen in the future, it doesn't sound like a good day.

Shen Bai felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but it was not easy for Emperor Hengde to agree now. Shen Bai bargained again, but he was afraid that it would backfire.

Shen Bai nodded and said: "These two requests can be accepted by the courtiers, but the business and trade between Zhaoling and Nanxiang have been cut off for nearly ten years, I don't know if this trip to Nanxiang Country, does Your Majesty want the courtiers to obey the dispatch of the uncle, or just want the courtiers to use the power of the uncle to summon the Wei family?" “

"The business and trade between the two countries is very important, you are a woman after all, and if you marry someone in the future, there will be a lot of inconveniences, although Shuxian's death has been in the daylight, Ruzhao is still very taboo about the royal family, I don't ask him to forgive the royal family, I only hope that you can persuade him to return to the Wei family and become the prince's future dependence."

In this way, Emperor Hengde still hadn't convinced Wei Ruzhao to let go of his knot completely.

Shen Bai understood Emperor Hengde's appeal, kowtowed, and said: "The courtiers will not disappoint Your Majesty when they receive the order!" “

Emperor Hengde looked at Shen Bai with gloomy eyes, this person knelt on the ground and was only a small one, and he was even more delicate after changing into women's clothes, but he was more responsible than many men, if it weren't for so many things that happened before, he was actually very qualified to be the mother of the country.

Before Gu Hengzhou entered the palace today, Zhao Che also looked for Emperor Hengde.

Since the death of the first queen, the prince, who has not taken the initiative to ask him for anything, knelt in front of him and said that he wanted to marry Shen Bai into the palace as the prince's concubine.

Zhao Che actually knew very well that judging from Zhaoling's current national strength and the intertwined forces of various families, his crown princess could only choose one of the princesses of Dongheng or Nanxiang, so as to maintain the peace of Zhaoling for a hundred years.

Even if it is a side concubine, she should choose one of the concubines of the family family to appease the family who was punished because of the Li family and avoid causing civil strife.

No matter from which point of view, Shen Bai is not a candidate to enter the palace.

But Zhao Che still couldn't hold back, knelt in front of Emperor Hengde and said his true thoughts.

Shen Bai is very smart, and she is not as weak and hypocritical as ordinary women, with her by her side, many problems can be solved.

Zhao Che listed a lot of Shen Bai's advantages, and when he listed these advantages, Emperor Hengde could see the bright light in his eyes.

He likes Shen Bai.

This is his only strong desire to follow the rules for so many years, except for becoming a Ming Jun.

However, the position of side concubine was the best thing he could give Shen Bai within his ability.

Emperor Hengde did not immediately reject Zhao Che, but just asked Zhao Che: "Do you think she will accept it?" “

Zhao Che was dumbfounded, Emperor Hengde and he both knew the answer.

Emperor Hengde has lived for decades longer than Zhao Che, and he has seen farther in this matter, what Zhao Che likes is Shen Bai, who is brilliant and can solve problems for him.

Once he included Shen Bai in the harem, these qualities that Shen Bai possessed would be worn out little by little, and Zhao Che would not be able to give Shen Bai preference and favor.

A smart woman like the first queen died in the harem, and even had a grudge against Emperor Hengde, how much better could Shen Bai be than the first queen?

Zhao Che hadn't experienced those, so he knew that Emperor Hengde didn't support it, and he was still unwilling to let go.

But this kind of matter is very important, and Emperor Hengde will not let Zhao Che be willful.

Zhao Che wanted to use Shen Bai, not necessarily to leave her in the harem, give her a title and put her in the court. can allow her to play a bigger role.

"Let's go down."

Shen Bai withdrew from the imperial study, the golden sunset covered the entire sky, the breeze blew, Shen Bai shivered, and then found that he was sweating a lot on his back.

Sun Yuehai was not outside, and found a little eunuch to send Shen Bai out of the palace.

Walking out of the distance, Shen Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't wait to see Gu Hengzhou.

How could this person be so good and prepare such a big surprise for her?

Emperor Hengde arranged a carriage to send Shen Bai, and when he was about to arrive at the Taifu Mansion, Shen Bai got off the car first under the pretext of getting something, and when the carriage went away, he turned around and went to the Guogong Mansion.

She didn't pay a respect, she didn't want to alarm the other people in the house, she climbed over the wall into the courtyard, carefully avoided the guards, and went straight to Jingteng Courtyard.

Is there something wrong with the house?

Shen Bai was unexpected, followed a subordinate to the west courtyard, and when he was about to reach Gu Huaijin's courtyard, he heard a hoarse cry: "Master, I don't want to live anymore!" “

Shen Bai stopped and listened for a while before he realized that this was Ye Wanyu's voice.

Is this because she was angry with her during the day, and she was going to cry, make trouble, and hang herself?

Shen Bai felt that Ye Wanyu was a little exaggerated, so he circled around the bamboo garden, found a corner where no one passed by, and climbed the courtyard wall.

It was already dark, the courtyard was brightly lit, and the subordinates were all guarding outside, and it seemed that something important was being discussed inside, Shen Bai hesitated, secretly climbed to the roof of the main house, and carefully uncovered a piece of tile.

In the house, Ye Wanyu was lying on the bed, the maid was waiting beside her, Gu Huai was sitting outside, and Gu Hengzhou, Gu Hengxiu, and Gu Hengduan were standing in front of him.

Gu Hengju frowned and looked at Gu Hengzhou. asked in disbelief: "Big brother, you are crazy, you have to move out!" “
