Zhou Yunxi and Xiling Ying entered the palace an hour later.

Looking at Chu Ci and Liu Yue sitting opposite each other in the Imperial Garden, Zhou Yunxi and Xiling Ying glanced at each other, and saw the expression of 'sure enough' on each other's faces.

"It's coming, don't stick to it anymore." Chu Ci naturally saw the two of them, so he immediately spoke, without the slightest appearance of the emperor, "There is no need to salute, there are no outsiders here." ”

One of Xiling Ying and Zhou Yunxi was spoiled by the King of the Western Regions, and the other was deeply rooted in modern concepts, even if they lived in Dachu for several years, they still did not fade away from their previous concepts.

So after Chu Ci said that, the two of them didn't have the slightest scruples, and raised their feet and walked towards the pavilion where Chu Ci and Liu Yue were. The whole process was extremely natural, and I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with not bowing.

In this regard, Chu Ci and Liu Yue were not surprised, and their faces were not inappropriate.

"You should have seen Bai Jing?" Chu Ci spoke directly after the two of them sat down, with a faint expression, "What do you think?" ”

"In line with the praise of the people of Beijing for her." Zhou Yunxi replied simply, without the slightest hesitation, "She also deserves to be a beauty in Allure." ”

"It's just looking at the sick." Xiling Ying continued Zhou Yunxi's words and said, "Although I feel pitiful, I just feel that people will fly away as soon as the wind blows, and they are too weak to help the wind." Saying that, Xiling paused for a moment, looked at Liu Yue's complexion, and then continued: "If you enter the palace, it is not very suitable. ”

These words made Zhou Yunxi laugh out loud, and his eyes were a little more helpless when he looked at Xilingying. Such a look made Xiling Ying cough lightly twice, and suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing.

"It's really not appropriate."

Chu Ci nodded in agreement without waiting for Liu Yue to speak, and agreed with Xi Lingying's words.

"Let's use this reason to refute the courtiers' requests." As he spoke, Chu Ci paused, and looked at Liu Yue with a smile on his face, vaguely flattering, "What do you think?" ”

"It's good that the emperor decides."

Liu Yue also smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

Looking at her appearance, several people also have their own numbers in their hearts. Knowing that if Chu Ci really complied with the wishes of the courtiers and accepted Bai Jing as a concubine, Liu Yue was only afraid that he would be angry for a long time and would not take care of Chu Ci.

And between the two, there will also be some dislikes.

Zhou Yunxi also knows a lot about Liu Yue's temperament, and knows how she will react after Bai Jing enters the palace. Although she is the queen of Da Chu, Liu Yue is still reluctant to share her husband with other women.

This is also one of the reasons why Liu Yue was extremely reluctant to marry Chu Ci at the beginning.

"It is not difficult for the courtiers to feel that the harem is empty, and it is not difficult to understand that they want the emperor to fill the harem." Zhou Yunxi spoke slowly, seeing that Liu Yue's face changed slightly because of his words, Liu Yue was more and more convinced in his heart, "It's just that now that the war is not over, if the emperor accepts a concubine at this juncture, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the people and soldiers of Dachu." ”

"I've used this excuse before." Chu Ci knew that she was making excuses for herself after hearing Zhou Yunxi's words, but how could Chu Ci not think of this most simple and direct excuse?

As soon as those officials mentioned the matter of accepting concubines in the last dynasty, Chu Ci said something similar to Zhou Yunxi. But as soon as he said it, he was directly 'dismissed'.

Until now, Chu Ci still remembers clearly what those officials said.

"Although the war has not been settled, the emperor's acceptance of concubines is to show his trust in the border soldiers and know that they can hold my territory in Dachu." OK

"The neighbor emperor did not hesitate to use the innocence of his seven-year-old daughter to ruin the emperor's reputation, and let the neighbor Anlan become the concubine of the Great Chu, with sinister intentions, and his heart can be punished."

"The neighbors' move is nothing more than to see the emptiness of the Great Chu harem, so that they can confuse everyone and make the subjects of Great Chu suspicious of the emperor."

"Your Majesty, you are not accepting a concubine at this time, not for pleasure, but to let the negative news released by the neighboring emperor that damage the emperor's reputation be self-defeating!"

These words were uttered by those officials one after another when they were in the court. But whenever Chu Ci opened his mouth to refute a word, they would come up with dozens of excuses to refute Chu Ci.

In this way, Chu Ciqi will directly retreat from the dynasty.

"If Miss Bai is really not in good health and it is inconvenient to enter the palace, I am afraid that it will make Lord Bai unhappy." Zhou Yunxi slowly spoke, "I'm afraid this excuse is inappropriate." ”

"It's not appropriate, but there's no other way, right?" Xiling Ying glanced at Zhou Yunxi and continued: "After all, the imperial heir is important, since the body is not good, who knows if there can be an imperial heir?" ”

"That's right, but if the emperor really uses this excuse, will Miss Bai marry in the future?" Zhou Yunxi's voice was a little heavier, "County Lord, Miss Bai is already thin, if she has such an excuse again, how should she deal with herself in the future?" Lonely old age? Although it is not a big problem not to marry for life, it is a great shame for the official lady. ”

Zhou Yunxi's words are true, after all, the daughter of the daughter in Beijing, who is worried about marrying?

Even if you are weak and sickly, you will not be left unproposed.

In addition, Bai Jing is not inferior to others except for her weak body. Even compared with Liu Yue, it will not be too different. Such a girl can't use such a reason.

"If anyone really likes her, they won't care about these things."

Xiling Ying thought simply, after all, the women in the Western Regions were arrogant, and they didn't have so many rules and regulations as Da Chu, so at this time, Xiling Ying didn't realize that Bai Jing's body was not good, even if her body was like an ordinary girl, she couldn't know too many men.

Coupled with Bai Jing's own situation, she can't go out a few times a year, and the possibility of meeting the so-called people who really like her can be said to be basically zero.

"That's a reason."

Although there was nothing to be gained in Xiling's words, a flash of light flashed in Zhou Yunxi's mind.

"What the county lord said, the implementation is not strong." Chu Ci only thought that Zhou Yunxi's words about Xiling Ying were feasible, so he immediately dismissed it, "Where to find someone who really likes her?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Yunxi smiled when she heard Chu Ci say this, "It's just to find someone who really likes her and she happens to like." ”

“……”

Zhou Yunxi's words made several people fall silent.

Especially Liu Yue, the eyes that looked at Zhou Yunxi suddenly became weird.

"Yunxi, do you know that it is not easy to meet a person who is in love with each other?" Liu Yue's voice was very soft, and the helplessness in it was clear to people, "It is even more difficult for Miss Bai to meet someone she likes." ”

"If Miss Bai is unwilling to enter the palace, let her and the Bai family release the news themselves." Zhou Yunxi knew that a few people had misunderstood what he meant, so he hurriedly spoke, "Once the news is revealed, the emperor and Niangniang will soon be able to take advantage of this moment to say that they can't beat the mandarin ducks, so that this matter will come to an end?" ”
