It didn't take long for the decree of marriage to come down, and Bai Sifei, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Bai, was given to the second prince as a side concubine.

No one will ever know Your Majesty's thoughts, after returning from Mount Tai, Your Majesty snubbed the second prince on the side, and unconsciously moved people's eyes to the body of the third prince who was still young, but His Majesty linked the white prime minister, the protégé of the white prime minister all over the court and the opposition, and the second prince together, which made people more and more confused, this majesty still likes the second prince?

The first prince has just stepped through His Majesty's heart?

However, everyone's attention quickly shifted from whether the emperor still favored the second prince to another matter, one thing that was enough to shake the foundation of the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, and there are many clans of gate lords, although the court has repeatedly issued prohibitions on annexing land, but even the three princes of the court have violated the law in private and done things to enclose land, let alone other people.

Although there are two points of fairness in the government, there are still two points of fairness to speak of, but in the army, especially in the army where the eldest grandson's family holds half of the military power, there are great hidden dangers. The positions of the ranks in the army are all monopolized by the elites, and the lower-level soldiers have no way to rise, and what Emperor Zhou has to do is to break the monopoly of the elites. Whoever has the ability and merit can be rewarded with a knighthood!

This is not the first creation of Emperor Zhou, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, such a policy has been implemented, resulting in a significant increase in the combat power of the army at that time, which is why there is now the Great Zhou, but after the founding of the Great Zhou, corruption accelerated, and the world gradually became the world of the powerful, suppressing the bottom soldiers, although the national strength of the Great Zhou is still strong, dominating the four seas, but it is far from being comparable to that year, Emperor Zhou is to create a fair environment, so that everyone can see hope! The premise of this is that the magnates led by the eldest grandson family must cede their power and give up part of the position of the children of their family to those low-level soldiers!

Therefore, His Majesty's purpose is to consolidate his imperial power, but from the beginning he did not intend to leave a way for the eldest grandson family to live, only after the eldest grandson family is completely dismantled, so that the magnates can see his skill and determination, his follow-up policy can be continued!

Of course, this decision was unprecedentedly strongly opposed by the magnates, and no one was willing to give up their own interests, and even more thought that this was a way to shake the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the ministers knelt outside the palace gate for three days, hoping that Emperor Zhou could dispel this idea!

At the same time, this decree was warmly embraced among the people and the low-level army, everyone had the opportunity to become an official and become a knight, and being a soldier was no longer just a matter of eating and drinking, everyone broke out with unprecedented enthusiasm, and even hoped that war would break out, so as to be able to make contributions as soon as possible!

Although the eldest grandson's family hurt Da Zhou's vitality a little, it seems to be more energetic and passionate at this moment!

One holy decree after another, His Majesty's determination cannot be changed! The ministers came to the second prince again, hoping that the second prince could make His Majesty change his mind!

Zhao Yan closed the door of the mansion tightly, and no one was seen. He fought hard from the battlefield, and naturally knew how encouraging his father's order was, and the Great Zhou might exude new vitality, and the Great Zhou army would be a thunderbolt! As a soldier, he is extremely looking forward to the arrival of that moment, longing to see a new Great Zhou, and looking forward to seeing an invincible army!

At the same time, he admires his father even more, he is a man with skill, strategy and ambition, and his ambition may be far more than that!

"This is a snack given by the imperial grandmother, try it!" Princess Jingyun pushed a plate of delicate dim sum in front of Bai Sifei, "Don't be nervous, we will be a family in the future!" ”

"Yes!" Bai Sifei picked up a piece of dim sum and ate it in small bites, blushing a little.

After a while, I heard the voice of the people outside asking for peace, the second prince came over, Bai Sifei's movements immediately stiffened, his face turned even redder, and his eyes were shy and pitiful.

Princess Jingyun looked at Bai Sifei's appearance, her heart was slightly sour, she wanted to get a man's wholehearted love, but she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and knew that this was just wishful thinking, men belong to the world, belong to merit, belong to women, but not only to one woman. She doesn't have the courage of Xiaoyu, dare to resist all the love that dominates men, all she can do is give in, succumb to this secular etiquette, and use her tolerance and generosity to maintain her dignity as a princess and a princess.

"I've seen the second prince!" Bai Sifei nervously stood up and saluted.

Zhao Yan glanced at Jingyun and whispered to Bai Sifei: "No need to be polite!" ”

Jingyun got up and said with a slight smile: "Sifei has made a robe, and the concubine looks at the handiwork is excellent, let the subordinates bring it and let you try it!" ”

"It's good!" Zhao Yan said, "It's hard Miss Bai, just leave such rough work to your subordinates in the future!" ”

"Making new shirts for the second prince, Sifei doesn't feel hard!" Bai Sifei said with a red face, not daring to look at Zhao Yan's eyes.

Jing Yun took Bai Sifei's hand and said with a smile: "Sit down, don't be nervous, treat people gently, he will like you, in the future, the Second Prince's Mansion will be your home, and you will also like it here!" ”

"Yes, sister!"

Princess Jingyun thought for a while and said, "I still have some things to do, Xianggong, you can entertain Sifei, I'll come when I go!" ”

"Okay, you go and help!"

Princess Jingyun made an excuse to leave and left this place for the two of them, she had been jealous of Xianggong's feelings for Xiaoyu, but now think about how meaningless that jealousy is! She finally knew that she was not as good as Xiaoyu, and she knew how valuable Xiaoyu's courage was to insist on being a couple for a lifetime!

Chu Wangfu.

"It's time to drink the medicine!" Gu Mingming personally drank medicine for Bai Siyuan, "You slept another day today!" ”

After Bai Siyuan fell into a coma, Gu Mingming took care of him day and night, spoke in his ear, and finally woke up on the third day of his coma.

She didn't expect Bai Siyuan to wake up at that time, she didn't have time to put on a veil, she appeared in his eyes beyond recognition, as if she appeared naked in front of him without clothes, she was extremely ashamed, inferiority, turned around in a panic, and said in a panic: "Don't look at me, please!" ”

Bai Siyuan didn't hear this desperate request, his eyes looked at this almost illusory figure without blinking, this figure had appeared in his dreams countless times, making him think in a trance that this was just a dream.

She turned her back to him for a long time, and only after a long time did she remember to put the veil on, and she didn't hear a sound behind her, she turned around strangely, and looked at him obsessively looking at herself, and couldn't help crying, where did she still deserve his eyes?

"Are you feeling better?" Gu Mingming shuddered and asked, "Do you want to drink water?" The first thing you used to wake up to was drink water! ”

Bai Siyuan paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand and touched it carefully, the temperature of his body made his heart tremble, and he asked hoarsely, "Is it you?" ”

"It's me!"

"I thought it was a dream!"

"It's not a dream, I'm right here!"

"Help me up!"

Gu Mingming helped Bai Siyuan up and put another pillow on his waist.

"I thought I'd never see you again!" Bai Siyuan said with a slight gasp.

"It's better to see each other than not to see each other, I don't know if it's right or wrong to appear in front of you, maybe you will always remember me in your memory, it's the best choice!" Gu Mingming lowered her eyes and said.

"I woke up when I heard your voice!" Bai Siyuan grabbed Gu Mingming's hand, "I can see you again in my lifetime, I will die without regrets!" ”

"Nope! Don't say that, you won't die, Xiaoyu has already gone to find medicine, you will definitely survive! Gu Mingming hurriedly said.

"The kid really went!" Bai Siyuan smiled slightly, "Mingming, can I hug you again?" It's me who is sorry for you, for not protecting you well, and making you suffer a lot! If it weren't for me, you might be in a different life! ”

"Sigaki!" Gu Mingming couldn't stop crying, "I ......"

She fell into Bai Siyuan's arms: "If another life is a life without you, I'd rather not!" ”

"Let's not be separated again, shall we? I don't want to see you in my dreams, I want to hug you as I am, not as I remember you! Bai Siyuan said gently.

"No......" Gu Mingming said with tears in her eyes, "Si Yuan, you don't know what I've become now, if you know about me, you won't love me anymore!" I'm not the Gu Mingming I used to be, I'm not worthy of you anymore! ”

She said, making up her mind, and then removed the veil from her face: "I am already an ugly woman!" ”

Looking at the scars on the face of the woman she loved, Bai Siyuan's heart was like a knife, how much suffering she had suffered over the years! Why didn't I find her earlier!

"In my heart, you are the most beautiful woman in the world, as long as you are alive, as long as you can still appear in my arms, this is God's gift to me!" Bai Siyuan said, "I know I'm selfish, I don't know how long I can live, I hope to see you in my lifetime!" ”

"Sigaki!" Gu Mingming sniffed, "Before I came, I thought about it for a long time, I knew that I was not worthy of you, but I still hope to be able to stay by your side selfishly, as long as I can look at you from afar, I feel that I have a hope in my life, but I only wish...... You'll never know my story! Please, don't ever ask what happened to me, okay? ”

"Good!" Bai Siyuan smiled, "To be able to accompany you at the end of my life, God treats me well!" ”
