"Concubine Bai Ping, Miss Ben is Bai Yang, but not your daughter Bai Yang. Your daughter's soul has entered the Netherworld, and Miss Ben should not die, and she is also wandering around the Netherworld. We met like that, she gave me her body, and I promised her to live for her. Live out what she has lost, and live to get it back for her. Concubine Bai Ping, Miss Ben and you don't have a mother-daughter relationship at all. Calling you a mother is for that Bai Yang, she was only five or six years old when you were kicked out of the palace. That call was engraved in her soul, and it could not be erased. ”

"Baibai, Miss Bai, are you a human or a ghost?" Concubine Bai Ping was stunned, looked at Bai Yang in horror and asked.

"Concubine Bai Ping, I am human to my relatives and friends. To my enemies I am a ghost. ”

"Miss Bai, I'm not your enemy. I had no choice but to drive away my daughter, and my heart hurt as a mother. Later, I left Bai Qingbai in the corner and didn't ask. It's because when I see them that I think of my Bai Yang, the daughter who was starving and freezing in the pile of flowers. I sent my own mother-in-law to take care of her, so that her life would not be so difficult. Miss Bai, the backyard of the palace is not as good as you think. It was also a hardship for me to enter the White Palace. Beware of other people's calculations, and they are also counting others. I watched Bai Wan'er Bai Zhan and them be born, and when I dreamed back at midnight, I would also think of my own children. But once you take a step, you can't turn back. Concubine Bai Ping was already crying and couldn't say it herself. Bai Yang's heart was also slightly moved, this was not her emotion, it was the white sun that remained in the depths of her soul.

After being steady for a while, Concubine Bai Ping said again: "Miss Bai, why are you telling me the truth?" Even if you hate me to death, you are my lost daughter. What do you call me now? ”

"Concubine Bai Ping, I still call you a mother in front of people. The fact that you can walk into the White Palace's Mansion and become Princess Ping shows that you are not a stupid person. If you are not willing to maintain our current relationship, Miss Ben has no objection. For Bai Yang, who is occupied by me, I will continue to regard Bai Qing as an elder brother and Bai Duo as a younger brother. For the sake of the two brothers, Miss Ben will also help the White Palace's hereditary lineage. ”

"Miss Bai, you really think so. Mrs. Ben thanked you on behalf of my two sons. Miss Bai, you are destined to be the future royal concubine, don't call me any flat concubine, what kind of princess am I in front of you. I forgot what you said just now, Mrs. Ben, you are my Yang'er. You can do whatever you want, even if I atone for my daughter's sins and accumulate virtue for my son. Concubine Bai Ping wiped away her tears and said in a resolute tone.

"Mother, that's where my grandfather and grandmother lived, right?" Poplar didn't bother about it anymore, she looked at the spotless yard cleaned in front of her and asked. She knew that Concubine Bai Ping was not a stupid person, and she would not and did not dare to say what she had just said. For the sake of her two sons, for her position in the White Palace. She could only knock out her teeth and swallow it.

When the puppet girls walked into the courtyard, they saw Bai Wangye kneeling in the courtyard, and Bai Qing and Bai Duo were standing behind Bai Wangye at a loss.

"Sir, what's going on? You've made your mom and dad angry. Concubine Bai Ping asked in a low voice.

"Is the second lady here too? You kneel with him in the courtyard. Come in, the three children, and let us two old immortals see it. Before the white prince could speak, an old voice came from the room.

Bai Qing glanced at Bai Yang, Bai Yang took Bai Duo's hand, and the three brothers and sisters walked into the house.

The room is simply and cleanly furnished, and although the things are very old, the slurry has not faded. Two plainly dressed little maids led the three of them into a large study. The things in the study are also old, but whether it is books or pen, ink, paper and inkstone, they are placed in a regular manner. Even the chairs are covered with thick cotton cushions. Two gray-haired old men were sitting on either side of the table, with a chessboard in the middle, on which the black and white sides were fighting. Next to the chessboard is hot tea and snacks.

"Old woman, can't you finish this game of chess? You can't sneak in the middle of the night to regret chess. This prince can remember it all. ”

"Regret chess, that's what you didn't want to do. Concubines never play tricks. The children can find their own place to sit. ”

"There are very few people here in this prince, when the conditions of the palace were good earlier. They can still come and see in a carriage, and now that the two of us die here, no one will know. The old prince stood up and moved his body and said. The brothers and sisters found that although the old prince was very old, he was still very tall, and his spirit was also satisfied.

"Old man, what are you nagging about? If people come, you can't be annoyed, and you will be annoyed. Why can't you look away? Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, when do you have to worry about when it will be a head? The old princess also stood up and twisted her waist and said.

What Bai Qingbai thinks, Poplar doesn't know. She has an inexplicable crush on the two old people. He also said with a smile.

"Grandfather and grandmother, it's freezing outside, you can forgive my father."

"Well, girl, you are a child with a conscience. Grandparents and grandparents are punishing them for you. The old princess also said with a smile.

"You are Poplar, the granddaughter who came back from the dead. The court turmoil is stirring up, and the father and son are against the goal, and Miss Bai is self-reliant. The old prince looked at Baiyang scrutinically and said.

"Grandfather, you can know the affairs of the court even if you live in this desolate place. I am the granddaughter who came back from the dead, but the granddaughter who can disturb the court and turn father and son against the purpose of the granddaughter does not admit it. It is not my wish to participate in the five-year general election, and Miss Ben is also giving full play to her skills in a dignified manner. Since he was pushed to the foreground by the White Palace, he didn't fight for himself and for the interests of the White Palace. As for the father and son, they can only say that they are dirty, what do you have to do with your granddaughter? Grandfather should also know that your granddaughter has already married the king before the election. Since the royal family doesn't care about slapping her face, why is her granddaughter afraid of those villains. ”

"Well said. This is the demeanor of my Bai family's descendants, you are a hundred times stronger than your father. Tell them to continue to kneel in the courtyard and reflect on themselves. I saw that he was a promising person back then, but I didn't expect him to run a good White Palace into the current down-and-out appearance. have become the laughing stock of the streets and alleys in the capital. The old princess took Poplar's hand and said admiringly.

The moment a rough hand and a young hand touched, Poplar's mind kept repeating two words, phoenix girl, phoenix girl. Poplar was stunned for a while, what does this mean?

"You two are the grandsons of this prince who survived in the corner." The old prince also stood up, walked to Bai Qing and Bai Duo's side and asked.

"Grandfather, I am Bai Qing, the eldest young master of the White Palace, and he is the little young master Bai Duo. Bai Qingbai kowtows to his grandfather and grandmother to say goodbye. After Bai Qing finished speaking, he pulled Bai Duo and knelt down and kowtowed to the old prince and the old princess.

"Okay, okay, kids get up and cool down." The old princess said with a heartfelt smile, and also reached out to pull the brothers up. The rough hand left Poplar's hand, and the two words in Poplar's mind disappeared.

"It's not easy to come here, I have lunch here today and then go back. Don't kneel either, you two go to the back and help us chop some firewood, and ask the second lady to go to the kitchen to help cook. The old prince shouted in the courtyard, and the white prince in the courtyard, Bai Pingfei, hurriedly got up and went to work.

"Grandfather, do you ask them to work every time you come here?" Bai Duo sat down with the old princess and asked.

"Of course, since they are willing to show off their power in the merit book of their ancestors. Shouldn't you do some work for your ancestors? ”

"Yes, I almost lost the face of my ancestors, and it is already cheap for them to serve them without family law."

"Old woman, you still say that I nag, what are you doing with the children? The future of the White Palace's Mansion is theirs, and whether it prospers or falls depends on their actions. ”

"Poplar, come with your grandmother, grandmother has something for you." The old princess took Poplar's hand again and walked out of the study.

"Grandmother, Poplar lacks nothing, and came to see that you didn't bring anything to honor you. Poplar is already very ashamed. He followed the old princess to the next room, and on the way Poplar said very embarrassedly.

"Good boy, you can bring Bai Qingbai back more, and recognize Bai Wangfu as your maiden home. For the Bai family, it is the most precious filial piety. The old princess said meaningfully.

"Grandmother, Poplar doesn't understand what you mean."

"Son, just look at your grandmother. Don't tell your grandmother, you don't understand. There are some things that don't have to be said too clearly. You are the granddaughter of my Bai family, and that is enough. Revitalize the Bai family, hereditary surname Wangye. Hope is all in you, child. ”

The old princess kept holding Poplar's hand, and the two of them walked into a small room. The old princess fumbled around the wall to open a dark grid, and took out a golden hairpin from the city and put it in the palm of Poplar's hand. Something strange happened, and the golden hairpin disappeared in an instant. The old princess was not surprised at all and said after giving Bai Yang a deep salute.

"It's finally time for things to be returned to their rightful owners. Miss Bai, you listen to the old body slowly tell you, do you understand that you will forget about it when you get out of this courtyard. ”

……

"Grandmother, what you said is true, it's unbelievable." After listening to the old princess's narration, Bai Yang couldn't help but ask.

"Miss Bai, how could the old body make up such a story to please you. At that time, the emperor had already given my Bai family a young lady to marry as the next princess with a foreign surname. It is not only the right thing but will not strengthen the power of the Bai family, which is also the royal balancing technique. As a courtier, you can only accept it. At that time, your father already had a confidante, who was your mother. But she can't enter the gate of the White Palace, and even if she does, she can only be a concubine without a name. She will not be allowed to continue the descendants of the White Palace. So your mother can only throw you away, and then you also give up your two sons. If your mother wasn't so selfish back then, we can still look up to her. As for the fact that she was later allowed to enter the White Palace, she was also given the status of equal wife. It's because of their Liu family's heirloom, a bracelet from ancient times. And the crested golden hairpin is the key to the bracelet. Your grandfather and I didn't know about this at first. I got this golden hairpin when the ancestors of the Bai family followed the emperor to fight the country. I don't know how many generations have been passed down, and no one has a blessing on their heads. The person who brought it either died of death or disease. When the emperor gave the Bai family a marriage, this phoenix head golden hairpin made a fuss for a long time. Until one time your father had a showdown with us, and brought your mother to call us over. This phoenix head golden hairpin has only settled down. Your grandfather and I just understood what my father and mother said when they told us the family secrets. But we can't ask your mother about these things, and we can't blatantly agree with your father to take her back to the White Palace. It could only be allowed to develop, so that many incidents later occurred. Your brothers and sisters have been implicated for no reason and have suffered a lot.

Child, how did the ancient bracelet spread to Liufu, and how did the crested golden hairpin spread to the Bai family? These years are impossible to examine. The ancestral secrets of our Bai family are also vague, and the more they spread, the more vague they become. It wasn't until recently that we two old people learned that your mother put the bracelet on your wrist when you drove you away. Maybe I didn't really want to give it to you, but I found that I couldn't take it off when I put it on. Maybe that's providence. ”

"Grandmother, it took a long time for Poplar to come back from the dead to know the existence of the bracelet." Poplar observed the old princess's expression and said.

"Son, now the bracelet and the golden hairpin are with you. You don't have to tell us where you hid it or how you used it. Heaven cannot be revealed, and it may not be a good thing for us to know. You call me grandmother, and the thunder in the sky proves that you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors. It's the glory and happiness of my Bai family. These are sufficient, people should not be greedy, contentment is bliss, contentment is always happy! ”
