Chapter 196: Yu Zi
The three of them fell silent, the emperor was obviously in trouble, but what could they do now?
Bai Lihong glanced at them and comforted them in a low voice: "Third brother, don't be so pessimistic, there will always be a turnaround." ”
No one thought that this kind of thing would be done by the emperor recently, and he didn't want the courtiers to interfere in the things he decided.
For example, in the case of the crown prince, the courtiers were about to scold him to death, but he not only insisted, but also punished several ministers.
"By the way, how is Concubine Chen Guifei lately?" Mu Qing was a little worried about Chen Guifei.
In the past, Chen Guifei was favored, but the queen was not less jealous and angry, but now that the queen is in power, can she let Chen Guifei go?
Bai Lihong's eyes flickered and he didn't speak, obviously Chen Guifei was not having a good time this time.
"Concubine Chen is in the palace, and we can't interfere." Bai Lichen reminded Mu Qing, and then looked at Bai Lihong,
"You go back and persuade Chen Guifei and let her accompany the Queen Mother, no matter how much the emperor does to the Queen Mother."
The word filial piety crushes people to death, all dynasties and dynasties have been like this, not to mention the emperor, just say that the queen wants the prince to ascend the throne cleanly, and the face of this filial piety must also be done.
If Concubine Chen takes the initiative to serve the Queen Mother, no matter how unpleasant the queen is, she will have to restrain herself.
Bai Lihong sighed and nodded: "I'll persuade the mother concubine when I go back." ”
Bai Lichen waved his hand, with tiredness in his eyebrows: "It's okay, you go back first, and I'll enter the palace tomorrow." ”
"One more thing." Bai Lihong hesitated for a moment but decided to tell Bai Lichen,
"I heard from my mother that my father may give us the title of king."
The king means that they are given their property to get out of the capital, and they are not allowed to leave the fiefdom or return to Beijing without Zhao in the future, just like King Gong and King Yi, if they want to return to Beijing, then they must be "gracious" by the emperor.
Bailihong has no intention of taking the throne, it doesn't matter to him to be crowned king, it is a matter of time before he is crowned anyway, but the king in the past is different from the king now.
According to the character of his father who favored him in the past, he should be able to get a good fief, but according to the current situation, eighty percent of them were thrown into the wilderness.
"I know about it." Bai Lichen didn't have the slightest surprise, and waved his hand, "Go back quickly, don't go to the curfew again." ”
Bai Lihong could only suppress the words in his heart and leave.
"Do you know about the king?" Mu Qing probably guessed a little from Bai Lichen's attitude just now.
For such an important matter, Bai Lichen couldn't react like this, unless he knew about it a long time ago.
Bai Lichen smiled mysteriously: "It's a matter of time, that's why I told you, you have to make more money, and you won't have such a good life if you go to the fiefdom." ”
Mu Qing felt panicked in her heart, she didn't want to go to the fiefdom, she felt that Jingzhong was very good, but it was not her turn to speak for this kind of thing.
Mu Qing sighed, she could only go back to her room sullenly, she wandered all the way, and when she arrived at the room, she found that Bai Lichen had also followed.
"What are you doing here?" Mu Qing took off his shoes and sat on the bed.
"Sleep." Bai Lichen replied with two simple words.
The movement in Mu Qing's hand stopped, and he looked at Bai Lichen in confusion, and as soon as Xin'er heard this, he quickly withdrew from the room with Mama Chen.
"Are you asleep? Don't you have a place to sleep? Mu Qing was very angry when he saw his righteous appearance.
Bai Lichen did not retreat in the slightest: "I still have injuries on my body, in case I have to drink water and get up at night, you can't take care of me?" This injury is quite serious, and Qing Ziran also said it today. ”
Mu Qing didn't know what to say for an instant, it sounded quite reasonable, especially the reason why Bai Lichen was injured was because of her!
"Isn't there a danqing?" Mu Qing made a final struggle.
"He has something to do, and he was sent away by me, and I'm not used to other people serving me." Bai Lichen's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.
Danqing, who was sent out to run errands, is gossiping with Xin'er at this time.
Mu Qing had no choice but to retreat: "Then you sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the soft couch." ”
Bai Lichen frowned: "In this case, you can get up at night?" ”
Mu Qing: "......" really can't.
Mu Qing sighed, resigned himself to sleeping in the same bed with Bailichen, the two of them had a good night's sleep, and the next day Mu Qing opened his eyes to a magnified version of Bailichen's face.
"Ahh Mu Qing screamed, and was about to scold Bailichen hooligans, but found that his whole body was climbing Bailichen's.
Relatively speechless, Mu Qing's face also turned red, smiled awkwardly, and took off his hands and legs:
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to......"
She swore she didn't mean it, she didn't have this stinky problem before, how could it ......
The smile in Bai Lichen's eyes flashed, but he still asked Mu Qing with a straight face: "You caused me not to sleep well all night." ”
Mu Qing was embarrassed and brought two points of guilt: "I really didn't mean to, I'm sorry." ”
Bai Lichen snorted: "Give you a chance to make up for it, you can feed me in the morning." ”
Mu Qing looked at Bai Lichen in confusion, is there any connection between the two?
"You've numbed my hands." Bailichen said leisurely.
Mu Qing's face turned even redder, Xin'er came in to serve them to freshen up, and when she saw Mu Qing's red face, she suddenly smiled.
Considering that Bai Lichen was injured, their breakfast was porridge and side dishes.
Mu Qing felt a little guilty in his heart, and carefully blew the cold porridge to feed Bailichen, and his heart was stunned that he didn't understand the inside story, and decided to gossip with Danqing later.
"I'm going to eat this!" Bai Lichen casually pointed to a pastry.
Mu Qing picked up the pastry and sent it to Bai Lichen's mouth, but Bai Lichen opened his mouth, and his lips touched Mu Qing's fingers.
Her hand couldn't help but tremble, and her heartbeat accelerated slightly, what was going on with this little deer?
Without waiting for Mu Qing to figure it out, it was reported outside that Yu Gongzi asked to see him, of course this Yu Gongzi was not Yu Tan, but Bai Lichen's cousin Yu Ci.
The two of them hurriedly finished eating and went to meet people, not to mention that he was close to Bai Lichen, but that Princess Yu's marriage was still pressing on him.
When Mu Qing saw Yu Ci at first sight, he felt that he should not be the son of a family, and some people believed him when he said that he was a poor scholar.
He was wearing a white-washed cotton coat, his hair was tied with a headband, and he was not wearing a crown, and the whole person looked very thin and pale.
But he stood up straight, and he looked bookish, which was pleasing to the eye, well, definitely not because he was good-looking!
The two sides saw the courtesy, Yu Ci sat down carefully, Mu Qing watched his every move, although he was restrained, but the etiquette was very good, and there was no mistake.
"Cousin, this time you will live in my house temporarily when you enter Beijing, if you need anything, just tell the housekeeper."
Bai Lichen's voice was very gentle, probably because of Yu Ci's special identity.
The people of their older generation are close, and Bai Lichen also thinks that Yu Ci is a very good person, so he is naturally willing to be close.
Besides, Yu Ci should be the closest person to his blood relationship on his mother's side.
Yu Ci bowed down and thanked: "Thank you to the third prince." ”
I have never gotten along, and it is naturally impossible for Yu Ci to be close to Bailichen for a while.
Bai Lichen didn't mind, and brought up the topic: "...... Princess Jade is reluctant to marry Yu Tan, and you know Yu Tan. ”
Yu Ci was fostered in the Yu family's old house, that is, he and Yu Tan grew up together, and he knew Yu Tan better than anyone else.
"I mentioned you to Princess Yu, but you haven't seen each other, so I want you to meet, if you are not satisfied, there is no such thing." Mu Qing tacitly took Bai Lichen's words.
Yu Ci looks good, according to Bai Lichen, the talent is also very good, except for this body almost, I really don't have to pick.
Yu Ci was silent, and it took a long time before he got up and saluted:
"I know the intentions of the three princes and the three princesses, and I have thought about it along the way, I ...... I'm afraid that I am not worthy of the jade princess, and the holy decree of marriage has been made, if it is ......"
If the jade princess is given two brothers to marry one after another, what will the people outside say.
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it naturally, as long as you meet once."
Bai Lichen had never seen Yu Ci before, this was the first time he had seen Yu Ci, and like Mu Qing, he felt that the Yu Ci Jade Princess in front of him would like it.
Yu Ci lowered his head and hesitated, Mu Qing could only work harder:
"If you marry someone like Yu Tan, I'm afraid you will be ruined for the rest of your life......"
Yu Ci was even more silent, and it seemed to have made up his mind for a while:
"Then let's see, if ...... I hope that the third prince will not speak out. ”
"This is natural!" Mu Qing happily agreed.
Let the housekeeper lead Yu Ci to rest, and Bai Lichen and Mu Qing entered the palace together.
As soon as he got into the carriage, Mu Qing couldn't help it: "Look at my cousin's appearance, it doesn't look like a congenital physical weakness, go back and let Qing Ziran show him, it's naturally better to get better." ”
After only seeing one side, Mu Qing's impression of Yu Ci is indeed very good, and he feels that he is also a very good match with Princess Jade.
"At the beginning, my uncle died and left a lot of family property, and my cousin was fostered in the Yu family's old house, of course those people thought about it, and there were a lot of things like poisoning him, I heard that it was my cousin's maternal grandfather's family who warned the Yu family that it stopped, but he has not raised well over the years, and his body has always been like this."
Bai Lichen sighed, feeling a little sympathetic to Yu Ci.
Fortunately, his body is already good at this time, and since Yu Ci's body is acquired, according to Qing Ziran's medical skills, as long as he takes care of it, it should not be a problem.
Mu Qing felt a little sympathy for Yu Ci in his heart, and then rubbed his hands: "Jade Princess and Yu Ci ......"
It is not easy for two people to meet, it is even more difficult for the Jade Princess to leave the palace, and it is equally difficult to quietly bring Yu Yu into the palace.
"It's not time yet, don't be in a hurry." Bai Lichen was a little helpless, why did Mu Qing seem to have become a matchmaker?
Mu Qing could only give up when he heard him say this, and he thought in his heart that he would enter the palace and talk about this matter with Princess Jade first.
Just as he was thinking, the carriage suddenly stopped, and then Danqing's voice was heard coming in:
"Your Royal Highness, Niangniang, it is the prince of King Gong and the prince of King Yi."
Why are these two people here? Mu Qing lifted the curtain and took a look, it was really these two people.
"You wait, I'll go down and have a look."
Dropping these words, Bai Lichen got out of the carriage, Mu Qing waited for a while but only waited for Danqing's words,
"Niangniang, Your Highness let us enter the palace."
