When the sun was shining, the Duke of Beiguo returned to the dynasty.

Bu Tong wore a new summer coat, jumped to Bu Yiyang's yard, bitter the spring peach behind him, today forgot to change out of the spring coat and wear a thin jacket, hot and sweaty behind him.

Bu Yiyang was walking around the courtyard with Bai Peony, and when he saw the person jumping in at the door, he seemed to be relieved.

"It's just time for you to come, Your Majesty is calling everyone to discuss matters, and the celebration banquet at night will ask you to accompany Peony."

Butong should go down, but I don't understand it very well,

"Now that the uncle of the Bai family has just returned to Beijing, His Majesty is going to discuss matters, and no one is allowed to rest."

Bu Yiyang pursed his mouth, "I think it's because the war in the northwest is really tight, and it can't be delayed any longer." ”

Bu Tong naturally remembered the years of war on the northwest border, understood the anxiety in Bu Yiyang's heart, looked at Bai Peony's lost appearance, and hurriedly went up to hug her arm and smiled,

"Brother, don't worry, Tong'er will definitely take good care of her sister-in-law."

Bu Yiyang left with confidence, and Bu Tong took the white peony to the house,

"Sister-in-law, why haven't you dressed up yet, the sun is in the west now, so let's dress up and go into the palace early, so as not to crowd with those people later."

Bu Tong thought that he didn't care, Bai Peony didn't like noisy medicine, not to mention that now that he was pregnant, he needed people and things around him to be a little calmer.

Bai Peony suddenly asked, "Ah Tong knows if the four imperial concubines will attend today?" ”

Bu Tong scratched his head,

"I don't know, why did my sister-in-law suddenly mention her?"

Bai Shaoyao smiled, "In the past, when the fourth imperial concubine lived at home, I only felt very gentle and gentle, and it was a little interesting to talk to her, if she didn't go, I would rest at home." ”

"What did my sister-in-law say," Bu Tong was surprised,

"Sister-in-law can forget, today is the celebration wine of the Bai family's uncle and class teacher, sister-in-law has not seen her father for a long time, how can there be no reason not to go."

Seeing the stunned appearance of Bai Peony, Bu Tong simply said it more bluntly,

"Besides, Sister Yao is about to give birth, I am afraid that I will not go to such a tiring banquet, but Uncle Bai has just returned to Beijing, if my sister-in-law does not go, don't say that Uncle misses it tightly, I am afraid that others will gossip."

Bu Tong watched Bai Peony waver, hurriedly pulled her to the front of the wardrobe, carefully selected for a long time, and finally took out a lotus pink thin shirt and long skirt, and smiled and held it over to Bai Peony to see,

"Sister-in-law, look at it, it's best to wear this, delicate and atmospheric, which is very flattering to the temperament of your sister-in-law."

Bai Peony still didn't look very interested, but she didn't refuse, Bu Tong hurriedly instructed the maid behind Bai Peony,

"Quick, dress up your wife, you must have a noble and elegant temperament."

The little girl hurriedly agreed, glanced at Bu Tong gratefully, and hurriedly went to find jewelry.

Seeing that Bai Peony seemed to want to meet Ji Yao, Bu Tong turned around and instructed Chun Tao again,

"Go back and arrange for someone to go to the Four Princes' Mansion, ask if the Four Imperial Concubines are present at the palace banquet tonight, and talk back quickly."

Chun Tao should quit, Bu Tong approached to help Bai Peony change clothes, silently sad in his heart, really pity the person in charge of the communication in this era, the legs have to run thin The master is too slow, but now he is very nostalgic for mobile phones and other electronic devices, if you can send a WeChat message, you can ask it.

The little girl hugged the jewelry box over, and Bu Tong went to choose it together with great interest, hoping to drive the white peony to divert his attention, but it was still ineffective, and the white peony was anxious and empty, and seemed to be caught in something quite complicated.

Isn't it prenatal anxiety?

But now this month, it's not too early to appear.

Butong inserted a delicate hosta into the black and thick bun of white peony,

"Sister-in-law's peace of mind is that once Sister Yao gave birth to Lin'er, sister-in-law saw that soft and cute little ball, and she no longer had to worry."

Bai Peony nodded, "Yes, seeing that she gave birth to a little son safely, I have nothing to worry about." ”

……

When the carriage of the Nanguo Mansion had just arrived at the gate of the palace, news came from the Four Princes' Mansion that the Four Imperial Concubines had not been happy with their bodies recently, and they would not come tonight.

As soon as Bai Peony heard this, he lost his spirit again, and hid in Qi Guifei's palace under the pretext that he didn't like to be lively.

"County Lord," a sudden greeting came from behind him.

Bu Tong listened to this somewhat familiar voice and turned back, "Wu Thirteen? ”

Wu 13 took a team of brocade guards as if they were patrolling, and saluted with a smile, "If it's really a mother, I didn't see the truth when I was far away, so I didn't dare to rush forward." ”

Bu Tong pouted and smiled,

"It's rare to see me dressed up like such a noble girl, I'm afraid I'll be dazzled?"

Wu Shisan smiled flatteringly and arched his hand, "The county lord is smart." ”

It is said that Wu Thirteen's greasy is different from others, he only feels that he is a scoundrel, but he doesn't hate it, but Bu Tong thinks so, seeing that it is indeed not like this in the eyes of others, the brocade guards behind Wu Thirteen have shown disgust and disdain.

Bu Tong lowered his expression slightly,

"That's it, Master Wu is going to get busy."

Wu 13 got up at this time, "Today's imperial city guards don't need us to come to Dongchang again, but the adults said that today's people are all powerful people, and they can't be negligent, so they want us to walk around here and move in an emergency." ”

Bu Tong smiled,

"Lord Tang has arrived?"

Wu 13 saluted, "The whereabouts of the Lord Overseer, my subordinates really don't know. ”

Bu Tong waved his hand and asked them to get busy, it was still early, but it was boring.

There were a lot of people at the men's seat, but there was really nothing to be familiar with, even the three princes, Left Bank, and Yunfang were not there.

Bu Tong hid in one place and watched, and finally saw a familiar figure that should not have appeared.

Why is he here?

Mu Hesheng turned his head inadvertently while talking and laughing, his eyes fell on the back of the pillar not far away, and he left under the pretense of a reason, his appearance was still calm and gentle,

"Ah Tong is becoming more and more unruly now, and the male guests dare to come alone."

Butong said with a look of nothing,

"Your Highness's words are very interesting, do you blame Tong'er for breaking into the men's table, or shouldn't you come alone?"

Mu Hesheng smiled and shook his head helplessly.

Bu Tong couldn't help but ask,

"Even my soft-spoken brother has been called to discuss matters, and now I can't see a few grandfathers here, why didn't His Royal Highness go to His Majesty to discuss matters?"

Mu Hesheng smiled slightly and couldn't hide his bitterness, "Now, I don't understand my father's mind more and more. ”

Bu Tong smelled a trace of uneasiness in these words,

"Your Majesty, is this jealousy of Your Highness?"

The two of them are in a place where there is no one, and it is much more convenient to speak directly, Mu Hesheng is not too hypocritical, nodding and admitting, "Over the past year, the court has been full of ups and downs, and now the powerful ministers have collapsed and the prince has withered, but I, the prince who originally seemed to not exist, is unique and more and more important, and my father will inevitably not be suspicious." ”

Bu Tong heard this is completely clear, after these days of understanding, it seems that he also realized that His Majesty is not as loving and easy-going as he seems on the face, and a person who can get rid of the Shimen Yue family with his own hands, how can he rely too much on the relationship between father and son, and now I am afraid that His Majesty is more afraid of this highly anticipated fourth prince, and he can't help but sigh for a while,

"The most unpredictable emperor's heart, this is true, Your Highness should not care too much, so as not to hurt the relationship between father and son, now His Royal Highness is the only adult prince in Kyoto City who has both ability and integrity, even if the road in the future is bumpy, it will never go wrong."

Mu Hesheng smiled peacefully,

"My father has never pampered me all these years, but I'm used to it, and everything is just back to the beginning."

Bu Tong can only be appeased for the time being,

"Today, most of the time is to discuss the dispatch of troops and generals in the northwest war, and it doesn't hurt if Your Highness doesn't specialize in military affairs......

While speaking, the banquet seemed to be about to begin, Bu Tong and Mu Hesheng turned their heads one after another, and the "nobles" who went to meet His Majesty had already returned to the table.

Mu Hesheng nodded, and then quietly went back first, Bu Tong stood on the side for a while, and then was seen by the sharp-eyed minister, "Isn't it the lady of Changping County?" ”

Everyone looked over, and Bu Tong stepped forward slowly,

"I've seen all the adults, the courtiers heard that the uncle of the Bai family returned to Beijing, and they missed it for a long time, so they wanted to come and see it.

The adults on the side smiled and their cheeks flushed, "In the end, the Lord Nanguo teaches her daughter, the county lord doesn't care about those false courtesies, the lady is now crowned the county lord, then she is also His Majesty's courtier, everyone is a colleague, why not come here to meet your uncle?" ”

Having said this, several princes also stretched their appearances, and Bai Ye stepped forward with red light, "Let me see, Tong'er is really getting more and more breathing, and she is quite generous and has the demeanor of a county lord." ”

The adults behind him followed with flattery, and Bai Ye followed and asked,

"Tong'er, where is my peony? Can you come to the palace for a banquet? ”

Bu Tong looked at the people around him, and had to answer with a smile,

"Back to my uncle's words, my sister-in-law is now pregnant, so she loves to be quiet even more, and now I'm afraid I'm going to the harem mother to ask for peace, besides, my sister-in-law is an official."

"That's it," the minister who had just spoken continued to speak, "Lord Beiguo misses his daughter, and now that he has returned to Beijing, he has a chance to see him, and Mrs. Bu is not like the county lord's mother, if she gets here, I am afraid that she will be gossiped about." ”

Bu Tingyun got up when he heard this, "In the end, it's all my daughter's house, Tong'er, now that I have seen your uncle, let's go back, and we adults can also drink and talk." ”

Bu Tong hurriedly lowered his body, and finally saw Tang Xuanlin standing behind Yi Yang at the same time, his eyebrows moved and he bowed his head happily,

"Then I won't bother, my lords, please."

turned around and walked only fifty steps, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Butong looked back at the two people who came,

"Your Majesty, isn't he old and confused?"
