There were no outsiders in the house, Shen Bai was sitting in a wedding dress and sitting in a proper manner, swaying Erlang's legs, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were proud.

The workmanship of the Internal Affairs Mansion is not picky, the wedding dress is very beautiful, she has a special status now, the Dongfang family has the right and money, and the blessing of Murong Xuan, the prince, plus Gu Hengzhou and Shen Ruxiu, naturally she has to marry according to the princess's etiquette.

The wedding dress is embroidered with a majestic phoenix, which at first glance is on par with the mother of the country.

Everyone likes beautiful things, and beautiful wedding dresses are especially attractive to women.

Zhao Mingyi and Zhao Mingxi both surrounded Shen Bai, their eyes nailed to the wedding dress and couldn't take their eyes off.

Zhao Mingyi touched the embroidery on it, and couldn't help but say enviously: "The wedding dress I wore when I got married was not so beautiful." ”

She had to marry against Zhao Che's wishes at that time, it would be good if Zhao Che could agree to this marriage, where could she still do it for her?

And at that time, Zhao Che had just succeeded to the throne, and he was reforming the people's livelihood drastically, and the treasury was already empty, not to mention her, the expenses of everyone in the palace were reduced.

Zhao Mingxi also reached the age of the beginning of love, and asked with wide eyes and envy: "Sister Huang, what about me?" Will my wedding dress look as good as Sister Kite in the future? ”

Zhao Mingyi scraped the bridge of her nose and said with a smile: "Sister, how young you are, don't hang the wedding dress on your lips, you will be laughed at." After Zhao Mingyi finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Murong Xuan sitting on the side drinking tea, and admonished Zhao Mingxi, "Also, most of the men in this world are oily and smooth-tempered prodigals, unreliable, the royal brother spoils his sister, and the younger sister is okay to be a princess for a lifetime." ”

Murong Xuan felt offended, put down the teacup, and said in a deep voice: "Unreliable people abound in the world, regardless of men and women, if you want not to fall into the pit, you have to rely on your own discernment, you have no brains, don't blame being pitted." ”

"What did you say?"

Zhao Mingyi frowned, turned his head to fight with Murong Xuan, Shen Bai sighed helplessly, and said to Zhao Mingxi: "Your Royal Highness is Your Majesty's most beloved sister, and when you marry in the future, the wedding dress must be beautiful, as for the husband, with Your Majesty and the fifth princess here, I will help Your Highness choose a reliable and outstanding husband, Your Highness doesn't have to worry." ”

Zhao Mingxi's eyes lit up, and he grinned: "Well, I will obediently listen to the words of the imperial brother in the future!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Che walked into the house, Shen Bai's eyes were sharp, and when he found Zhao Che for the first time, he immediately got up and stood up, and saluted obediently: "Meet Your Majesty." ”

The other three followed suit, and Zhao Che bowed his head, so that they didn't have to be polite, and looked around and found that the house was already full of Shen Bai's dowry.

In addition to the wedding dress, there are also various accessories made of pure gold, all of which Gu Hengzhou asked the Internal Affairs Office to send, and Zhao Che also took the opportunity to reward Shen Bai with a lot of things these days, and after a cursory glance, Shen Bai's current net worth is really good.

Noticing his gaze, Murong Xuan said softly: "The dowry prepared by the Dongfang family and the Murong family should arrive in Hanjing in two days, Nanxiang is far away from Zhaoling Mountain, this dowry is just a show, and I won't really bring it back to Nanxiang, it's tiring." ”

Gu Hengzhou had already given all his belongings to Shen Bai, and his sincerity was sufficient, if Murong Xuan still wanted to embarrass Gu Hengzhou, Shen Bai would not be the first to agree.

Zhao Che bowed his head and said, "I have already told the people of the Ministry of Rites to prepare to greet them, and they can stay in Zhaoling for a while after they arrive, and then slowly return to Nanxiang after the wedding." ”

"That's a lot of trouble." Murong Xuan responded, and then said, "But I've been in Zhaoling for almost half a year, and when I finish watching the ceremony, I'm about to leave for Nanxiang." ”

Zhao Che asked: "Didn't the Fifth Highness say that he would choose the princess in Zhaoling?" Is there anyone who can see it? ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Che would suddenly ask this question, Murong Xuan choked, touched the tip of his nose uncomfortably, and said, "The girls in Zhaoling are all very good, but now they are a little picky." ”

Zhao Mingyi frowned when he heard this, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are picky, other girls are still picking, Nanxiang is so far away from Zhaoling, after marrying, you may not have the opportunity to return to your parents' house once in ten or eight years, if you suffer any grievances over there, a person is weak, and there is no one to speak." ”

Murong Xuan was not happy when he heard this, he was choosing the princess, not the maid, it was not good to marry home, was there anything to take people out and beat them?

The two didn't talk to each other for a long time, Murong Xuan glanced at Zhao Mingyi, and said: "What the princess said is that if I look for it, I have to find a girl like the princess who is sharp and sharp-tongued, and is both civil and military, to be the princess, and after marrying Nanxiang, I can turn Nanxiang upside down." ”

Zhao Mingyi was so angry that he said angrily: "You dare to scold me? ”

Murong Xuan smiled hypocritically and said, "How can it be, I am praising Her Royal Highness the princess for having the ability." ”

"Murong Xuan, you're looking for a fight!" After Zhao Mingyi finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat Murong Xuan, but Zhao Che watched from the side, and scolded coldly with a heavy face: "Qingqing, presumptuous." ”

Qingqing is Zhao Mingyi's nickname, and after she got married, no one called her that.

Zhao Mingyi's face turned red all of a sudden, he glanced at Zhao Che with disgust, stomped his feet and said, "Brother Huang, I said a long time ago not to call me like this!" ”

couldn't hold it on his face, Zhao Mingyi pulled Zhao Mingxi and ran away, Murong Xuan realized it later, looked at Zhao Che and asked, "The nickname of the fifth princess turned out to be Qingqing." ”

Shen Bai glared at Murong Xuan and reminded in a low voice: "The nickname of the Zhaoling woman can only be called by the closest relatives and elders, don't call it indiscriminately." ”

A strange look flashed in Murong Xuan's eyes, and he said to Zhao Che: "I just lost my words, go and apologize to the fifth princess." With that, he got up and walked out of the room.

Only Shen Bai and Zhao Che were left in the room, Shen Bai sat in a proper manner, without the pride and chic of Fang Cai, and explained to Murong Xuan in a restrained manner: "The Fifth Highness is like this, there is nothing bad about it." ”

The big red wedding dress lined her little face white and red, pink and tender like a ripe peach, and it must be sweet and juicy when you bite into it.

Recently, a lot of things have happened in Zhaoling, and many people are panicking, but she is the only one who has raised herself like a nobody, and she is fat and moist and attractive.

Zhao Che stared at her for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you stilt Erlang's legs?" ”

Shen Bai smiled and said, "Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, in front of Your Majesty, how dare I be so unruly." ”

"I allow you to be unruly."

Shen Bai's old face froze, and he inexplicably felt that Zhao Che's words were quite dangerous.

He is the most rule-oriented person in his upper and lower lives, and he is too unprincipled to encourage her not to follow the rules at this time.

Shen Bai was still hesitating how to refuse, and Zhao Che said: "There have been a lot of things recently, your wedding date will be postponed to at least April, there is still a lot of time in between, and there are many changes, you should understand, right?" ”

These words carried a threatening meaning, Shen Bai looked at Zhao Che in surprise, Zhao Che hooked the corners of his lips, and his expression was unfathomable.

Shen Bai wasn't sure what he wanted to do, so he patted his ass and said: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, has the world in mind, and discerns loyalty and treachery, so he shouldn't be able to ......."

"I will." Zhao Che interrupted Shen Bai and said with burning eyes, "To be honest, I like you very much and want to take you for myself. ”

When he said this, Zhao Che's eyes were surging with the light that was bound to be won, now that the power of the family has basically been eradicated, he has nothing to scruple about, even if he wants Shen Bai, with Shen Ruxiu and Gu Tingge's temperament, he will definitely not do anything to bully the king.

Shen Bai grabbed the hem of her clothes, at this time, of course she could say that if Zhao Che wanted to force her, she would say something like death, but she had lived for two lifetimes, and she finally came to this day, and she really didn't want to come to this point until she had to.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Shen Bai relaxed and grinned brightly: "If Your Majesty really wanted to take me for himself, you wouldn't say such things to me, no matter what, I am grateful that Your Majesty can treat me differently." ”

There are so many beautiful women in the world, as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, he is very fond of Shen Bai, which is of course a happy thing.

After Shen Bai finished speaking, some of the tense atmosphere dissipated, Zhao Che lowered his eyes, and said: "I have been on the throne for three years, there has been no addition to the harem, civil and military officials have objections, and even there are many bad rumors among the people, the queen mother is not in good health these days, I asked the Internal Affairs Office to prepare a brochure and send it to the concubine, you have time to see if there is a suitable candidate for me." ”

The concubine is a bad elder, what is the matter with Shen Bai, an irrelevant person, to help select candidates to enter the palace?

Just wanted to excuse himself, Zhao Che said again: "Pick well, if the final selected person is not satisfied, you should know very well what the consequences will be." ”

I know now that you like me like this, but I only have one, what if you are not satisfied with what you pick?

Shen Bai slandered, and didn't want to touch Zhao Che's moldy head, so he could only respond.

Zhao Che had dinner in Nanchen Palace before leaving, and early the next morning, Shen Bai was summoned to Xinchen Palace by the concubine.

The emperor, who refused to be drafted for three years, finally relented and wanted to enter the palace, which was a great joy, and the people in the entire palace were happy.

However, this time when she came to see Concubine Shu, Shen Bai found that the people who were serving around her had changed their new faces, and Concubine Shu explained vaguely that there should be the Queen Mother's eyeliner among the people who served before, but now they are all removed by Zhao Che.

Concubine Shu was quite concerned about Zhao Che's selection of concubines, much more carefully than when she helped Murong Xuan choose people, and the list sent by the Internal Affairs Office this time was much better than the last time, all of them were carefully pampered daughters of various families, all of them were dignified and atmospheric, and they were all girls with poetry and books.

Just looking at these lists, Shen Bai felt impeccable, but after all, Concubine Shu was a person who had been with Emperor Hengde for many years, and she knew that the women in the harem had something to do with the court, so she also paid attention to it when picking people.

The two muttered and discussed for a long time, and Concubine Shu finally picked three people out.

Two of them have excellent net worth, and the last one Shen Bai was a little hesitant, it was the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Lingyang, Si Ruoyan, who was only fourteen years old, just over the age, only a little older than Zhao Mingxi.

Zhao Che is almost thirty years old, although he does not look old at all, but he is several years older than Si Ruo Aya, if Zhao Che starts meat early, his daughter can be as old as her, and let such a young girl enter the palace, Shen Bai has a deep sense of guilt. Wave

However, Concubine Shu and Shen Bai's considerations are different, the ancestor of the Marquis of Lingyang is also a military general, but these generations have become a scholarly family, although it can be regarded as a family in Zhaoling, but the status is far less than before, plus Zhao Mingyi did not want the prince of Lingyang Hou before, he had to marry, and the status of the Marquis of Lingyang in Beijing was even lower.

Now let Si Ruoya enter the palace, just to show the emperor's grace, give some compensation, and the Marquis of Lingyang can also get by on face.

After the list was selected, Concubine Shu was tired, so she asked Shen Bai to take the list to Zhao Che.

Although Shen Bai had a lot of reluctance in his heart, he still went to the imperial study, Zhao Che was still deliberating, and Sun Yuehai asked her to go back to Nanchen Palace first and wait.

When it was almost noon, Zhao Che stepped into Nanchen Palace, and Shen Bai showed him the list, and explained the reasons for choosing them as they were.

Zhao Che's expression was indifferent, and he didn't express any opinions, so he asked Shen Bai and the concubine to find an excuse to call the three of them into the palace to have a look.

Shen Bai responded, and two days later, he called the three young ladies into the palace in the name of flower appreciation.

The most advanced palace is Shi Yin, the daughter of the imperial historian, Shi Yin is the oldest of the three, this year is eighteen, she has an outstanding appearance, but her family background is too high, Zhao Che has not entered the harem after succeeding to the throne, and the matchmaker did not dare to come to the door to propose marriage.

The next person to enter the palace was Wei Qingyue, she was a descendant of the Wei family, but she was a distant relative of Zhao Che, and she was chosen to take the opportunity to make the Wei family's position in Zhaoling more stable.

The two of them have a lot of opportunities to enter the palace on weekdays, they are very good at chatting, they talk gently and gently, and the topics are relaxed, which makes people feel very comfortable getting along.

Shen Bai has a good impression of the two, and feels that the two of them are not inferior to Miao Ruoxi in the previous life.

However, the four of them waited in the imperial garden for half an hour, and they didn't wait for Si Ruoya, and when they felt strange and wanted to send someone to take a look, Sun Yuehai ran over quickly and said: "Niangniang, the little girl of the Si family got lost and broke into the imperial study by mistake. ”

Concubine Shu is a painful person, as soon as she heard that Si Ruoya was punished for kneeling, she immediately said: "It is normal for the little girl to enter the palace for the first time, and she can't find the way, let the emperor give the palace a face, don't be too fierce to others, it's not easy to explain if you scare people." ”

Sun Yuehai answered, went back to his life, and as soon as he entered the door of the imperial study, he saw a little girl with a ball head and a baby face kneeling on the ground with two crystal clear tears and dozing off.

The one in front of the desk was still reading and reading with a stiff face, and this little ancestor fell asleep, and his heart was really big enough.

Sun Yuehai slowed down, thought about it, and reminded Zhao Che by helping him change the ginseng tea: "Your Majesty, Miss Si is asleep, and the ground is cold, why don't you put a cloak on her?" ”

Zhao Che glanced at Sun Yuehai, he asked people to kneel here to sleep?

Sun Yuehai was stared at and lowered his head, Zhao Che threw the fold in his hand to the ground, the little girl was awakened, subconsciously picked up the fold, and was about to open it to see, Sun Yuehai hurriedly reminded: "Miss Si, this is a fold!" ”

Si Ruo Aya closed the fold, remembered that he was here now, knelt down uprightly, and whispered, "Please forgive your majesty." ”

Just cried, her voice was soft and glutinous, with a nasal voice, full of children.

Zhao Che asked, "Sleepy?" ”

Si Ruoya nodded truthfully, hesitated and said: "This is the first time I have entered the palace, last night my mother and father and brother told me many rules, I was asked to sleep very late, and I got up very early today, so I am so sleepy, I definitely do not despise Your Majesty, Your Majesty is majestic and breathtaking, as long as you see Your Majesty, you will involuntarily want to surrender at Your Majesty's feet." ”

The last few sentences are obviously sycophants, Zhao Che didn't eat this, and asked: "Who taught you these words?" ”

"I thought of it myself."

Si Ruoya replied without hesitation, and under Zhao Che's gaze, he slowly became less confident, and said weakly: "It was my brother who said that in the early years he had heard people say in the Tai Academy that His Majesty likes to listen to sycophants the most, if I accidentally make a mistake today, I can shoot Your Majesty's sycophants well, and I may be able to leave a small life." ”

Sun Yuehai had a toothache when he heard this, and he didn't know if this Lingyang Hou Shizi was specifically cheating on his sister, or if someone deliberately caged their brother and sister.

The most unpleasant thing for His Majesty is that someone has a flamboyant tongue, slips his beard and doesn't do practical things, and this Miss Si can be regarded as hitting His Majesty's knife edge.

Zhao Che put down his pen, did not reveal his emotions, and asked, "Who did your brother listen to when he said this?" ”

Si Ruoyan touched her chin and thought about it seriously, and said after a while: "It was said by a person named Shen Bai, my brother said that she was a strange woman who had no ancestors before and no one after Zhaoling, it would be nice if I had the opportunity to meet her." ”

Your brother won't be able to see her, but you can.

Si Ruoya is young in the end, Zhao Che didn't really punish her for kneeling all the time, let her go to the warm pavilion next to her to make up for sleep, and when it was dinner time, Zhao Che took Si Ruoya to Nanchen Palace.

The dowry prepared by the Dongfang family and the Murong family arrived, Shen Bai was counting the dowry in the house, the Dongfang family was quite generous, Shen Bai simply sorted it out, this dowry was worth at least tens of thousands of taels, and she had no worries about food and clothing in the second half of her life.

Shen Bai smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhao Che walking into the house with a pink and tender little girl.

The little girl had a ball on her head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, she was quite beautiful, she was very cute at first glance, seeing the house full of rare treasures, her eyes widened slightly, and her eyes sparkled like fine gems, Shen Bai's heart softened at this glance, and after saluting Zhao Che, he asked curiously: "Your Majesty, ...... this girl?" ”

Jue woke up, Si Ruo Aya politely returned the salute, and said to Shen Bai glutinously: "Hello Oriental girl, my name is Si Ruao, Lingyang Hou is my father, if you are willing to let me call you Sister Aya'er, then you can also call me Sister Aya'er." ”

How did the Marquis of Lingyang raise his daughter? That's too cute, isn't it!!

Shen Bai shouted in his heart, especially wanting to pinch Si Ruo Aya's somewhat fleshy face.

"Hello sister Aya'er." Shen Bai said and grabbed a handful of pink pearls from the box and stuffed them into Si Ruoya's hand, saying, "The first time we met, I didn't prepare any meeting gifts, my sister is too plain, take these pearls to make a bracelet necklace or something, it must be very beautiful." ”

Pink pearls are rare on the market, these pearls are of excellent color, round and full, this one is worth a lot of money, Si Ruo Aya is a little confused, and said neamerally: "I ...... I didn't prepare anything, so I can't return your gift. ”

Si Ruoya likes these pink pearls very much, biting her lip and being a little embarrassed for a while, Shen Bai hurriedly said that it doesn't matter, Si Ruoya doesn't think it's okay, gritted her teeth, took off a piece of blood jade from her neck and handed it to Shen Bai, saying: "This is what my eldest brother won from others by virtue of his literary talents, I have been wearing it on my body since I was five years old, it will bring good luck, give it to you." ”

The value of blood jade is much higher than these pink pearls, Shen Bai didn't want to accept it, and Si Ruoya also forcibly stuffed it into her hand, saying: "My father said, you can't be cheap, you have to have dealings, my sister sent me something, I naturally have to give my sister something, and money is something outside the body, the mind is the most important thing, we will be friends in the future." ”

After Si Ruoya finished speaking, she began to count the pearls in her hand, Shen Bai grabbed them casually, there were only twenty-seven in total, Si Ruoya calculated for a while and said: "I want to make a bracelet for my mother, myself and a friend of mine, can Sister Kite give me three more?" ”

Give it, give it, and give it if you want thirty more.

Shen Bai grabbed another handful and gave it to Si Ruoya, but Si Ruoyan was very principled, as long as three of them, he carefully packed them with his own lotus.

Zhao Che witnessed this transaction, and saw that Si Ruoya's eyes were a little obscure, and he was not sure if this person was really stupid or pretending.

The palace people quickly delivered the meal, Shen Bai talked a lot, and his speech was also interesting, Si Ruoya was amused by her and laughed constantly, and after half an hour of eating, after the time when the palace gate was locked, Zhao Che simply let Si Ruoya live in Nanchen Palace.

Shen Bai sent Zhao Che out and out of Nanchen Palace, Zhao Che explained to Shen Bai: "Don't teach her those messy things, I don't like to listen to flattery, and I don't like people pretending to be stupid and deliberately please." ”

Isn't not doing what you don't like to please you?

Shen Bai slandered, feeling that Si Ruoya was quite simple, and couldn't help but say more, saying: "I think Miss Si is quite simple, and she is so young, if Your Majesty doesn't like her......"

Zhao Che keenly grasped the key and asked Shen Bai: "Are you talking about my old man?" ”

“……”

Although it's a bit rebellious, compared to Miss Si, you are indeed a little old.

Shen Bai didn't dare to say this in front of Zhao Che, shook his head hypocritically and said: "I definitely don't mean this, Your Majesty is wise and martial, Yushu is in the wind, long live!" ”

Sycophants!

Zhao Che brushed his sleeves and left, Shen Bai turned back, Si Ruoyan had already finished bathing, changed into bed clothes and sat on the bed obediently holding the quilt.

After removing her hair, Shen Bai found that her hair was extremely well maintained, black and soft, and with big eyes that were not worldly, she was cute.

Si Ruoya said seriously: "I sleep with my mother at home, no one has slept with me, I'm a little scared, can Sister Kite accompany me tonight?" ”

Shen Bai nodded like pounding garlic, such a pink little girl, who could bear to refuse her request.

Shen Bai washed himself and changed his clothes and climbed into bed, and Si Ruo Aya hugged her waist and shrank into her arms.

The little girl is fragrant and soft, and it is very comfortable to hold.

The corners of Shen Bai's lips rose, and he felt that it was reasonable for those stinky men to linger in the beauty country.

However, she forgot that she was not quite the same as in her previous life now, and Si Ruoya lay down for a while and whispered: "Sister Kite, you are as soft as my mother here, why am I not like this?" ”
