Chapter 76: Not in good spirits
She walked up to Zhao Linlang and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, help me take care of Beizhu." ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Linlang nodded.
"Master Zhang, let's go!" Bai Shuqin smiled politely at Zhang Zhen.
Just to take her to see the emperor, Zhang Zhen brought twelve people, and Bai Shuqin felt that he was making a big fuss. Or maybe he's insecure and has to be followed.
Bai Shuqin tried to get some news out of Zhang Zhen's mouth, but Zhang Zhen's mouth was tighter than the lock.
Thinking that Nangong Che seemed to have such a temper, Bai Shuqin felt that the selection criteria for the guards with knives in front of the emperor might be dumb, and the second was poker face.
After Bai Shuqin was taken away, Zhao Linlang was afraid that the emperor would know what happened to Bai Shuqin's identity, so he immediately went to find Zhuo Linfeng.
Zhuo Linfeng's room was still lit, and his shadow was reflected in the window, holding a book in his hand.
Zhao Linlang knocked on the door eagerly, "Brother Linfeng, open the door quickly!" ”
Hearing Zhao Linlang's voice, Zhuo Linfeng's heart sank, coming to him so late, something big must have happened. He put the book down, got up and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Zhao Linlang quickly entered, closed the door tightly, and said to Zhuo Linfeng with an anxious face: "My sister was called by my father!" What now? ”
A trace of shock flashed on Zhuo Linfeng's face, Bai Shuqin came secretly, and his identity could not be revealed.
"How long have you been there?" Zhuo Linfeng asked her.
"I was taken away by the Imperial Forest Army just now, and I should have seen my father at this time!" Zhao Linlang said anxiously.
"The Guards?" Zhuo Linfeng repeated suspiciously.
Most of the emperor's summons will be to ask the eunuchs in the palace to inform them and dispatch the Imperial Forest Army, for fear that Bai Shuqin will be regarded as a dangerous person.
Zhao Linlang stomped his feet a little angrily, "I don't know what my father wants to do, and he specially ordered me not to follow me." ”
"Don't worry, I'll go take a look!" Zhuo Linfeng comforted her.
Zhao Linlang hesitated, "But my father said that I only saw one sister and no one else." ”
"You go back and rest first, I have my own plans." Zhuo Linfeng naturally knew that the emperor would not see him, so he still had to wait outside the door. At least if something goes wrong with Bai Shuqin, he can protect her as soon as possible.
As the night grew thicker, the drizzle began to fall again.
The rain fell on Bai Shuqin's face, and she even felt that the rain was just a thicker fog.
Zhang Zhen led the way in front, and his steps were unhurried.
Bai Shuqin followed him leisurely, and he had already imagined various scenarios and countermeasures in his heart. Maybe when the emperor takes a fancy to her beauty, he will keep her in the palace as a concubine.
She chuckled, which was impossible. If you don't look at the example of being born as a concubine, this world has only happened once, and that is Zhuo Linfeng's mother.
Bai Shuqin is still self-aware of his appearance, and he may be able to deceive those straight men after applying makeup. The real beauty should be like Beizhu's mother.
There were two big red lanterns hanging in the distance, and by the light, Bai Shuqin saw the three big characters of "Imperial Study" on the plaque above the middle of the lantern.
The characters are different from other plaques in that they are arranged vertically. The plaque is surrounded by a golden dragon that glows with gold in the light.
Bai Shuqin was a little puzzled, if he didn't choose the palace for guests, how could he choose the imperial study? Could it be that Emperor Zhao still wants to test her literature? She said suddenly.
Zhang Zhen pushed open the door of the imperial study, stretched out his hand to Bai Shuqin and said, "Girl, please!" ”
Bai Shuqin nodded slightly to him, stepped over the threshold and walked into the imperial study. As soon as she stepped into the door on her heels, the door was slammed shut, and she looked back sharply in fright.
The doubts in her heart deepened, what the hell did Zhang Zhen not come in, and closed the door.
Bai Shuqin calmed down for a moment and turned around with a smile.
The light in the imperial study was bright, and Emperor Zhao Tingxuan was sitting on a soft chair behind the desk, looking at her.
Bai Shuqin's eyes moved up and down, Zhao Tingxuan and Zhao Linlang looked like each other, especially the eyes and mouth, which were carved out of a mold.
Although he is over half a hundred years old, he looks no more than thirty or forty, and has the charm of a mature man.
It seems that exercise can indeed keep people young, looking at the difference between the two emperors, Bai Shuqin silently came to a conclusion in his heart.
After listening to Zhang Zhen's report, Emperor Zhao became interested in Bai Shuqin.
A little girl, with only a token, dared to break into the palace, which ordinary men may not have.
Seeing each other at this moment, Zhao Tingxuan was even more pleasantly surprised. The surprise was not her gorgeous face, but her unruly temperament.
Bai Shuqin didn't salute for a long time, and Zhao Tingxuan didn't get angry, but took the lead in speaking, "I heard that you are Linlang's friend, where did you meet?" ”
Bai Shuqin looked at Zhao Tingxuan, pondering the meaning of his words. She can't answer randomly, if it is inconsistent with Zhao Linlang's answer, he may come to investigate her for the crime of bullying.
She was silent for a while before returning to Zhao Tingxuan: "The maiden and Princess Linlang met in the Second Prince's Mansion. ”
"Second Prince Zhuo Linfeng?" Zhao Tingxuan's fingers on the chair moved.
This detail Bai Shuqin observed, and he was suspicious. She still didn't change her face, "Yes! The folk girl was able to get to know Princess Linlang, which is really a blessing for three lives. ”
Zhao Tingxuan looked at her with a smile, "Why did Linlang give you the royal token?" ”
Bai Shuqin saw that he was the best of the best, and at this moment, he probably saw that she was lying. In that case, let's be true or false.
She chuckled, "It's just a gift to each other when we part." ”
Zhao Tingxuan just smiled, the importance of the royal token, Zhao Linlang would not not understand, how could she be an ordinary woman if she could use this as a separate gift.
"Your Majesty, it's so late, the folk girl won't disturb your rest." Bai Shu Qin said.
Zhao Tingxuan ignored her, got up from the chair, walked to Bai Shuqin's side, and looked at her carefully in a circle.
Bai Shuqin calmly let him look at her, as long as he didn't investigate her identity in advance, then she could attack and retreat.
The more Zhao Tingxuan looked at her carefully, the more he felt that she was different from ordinary women.
Although her hands are well maintained, her palms still have calluses, which shows that she used to either practice martial arts or often do rough work.
If it is an ordinary woman, when she sees the holy face of the Son of Heaven, even if she is not submissive, she is also cautious, she is like seeing an ordinary person, and her expression is calm.
"Since it's Linlang's friend, it's my friend. These days are not well entertained, and I hope the girl doesn't mind. Zhao Tingxuan retracted his gaze and was polite.
"Princess Linlang was very thoughtful, but the folk girl came to disturb without saying hello, hoping that the emperor would forgive the recklessness of the folk girl." Bai Shuqin had a slight apology on his face.
Zhao Tingxuan laughed, "Haha, you are different from others. Tomorrow I will have a banquet for you! ”
"Your Majesty, Emperor. However, the people were born humbly and did not dare to bother the emperor. Bai Shuqin politely refused.
"It's decided, if you refuse, you won't give me face." Zhao Tingxuan didn't give her this opportunity, he was very interested in this woman.
Bai Shuqin didn't know what his idea was, but since it was said that she had to do this, she could only agree.
Zhuo Linfeng thought that Zhao Tingxuan was seeing Bai Shuqin in the Xianghe Palace, but when he rushed over, he saw that it was dark outside the hall. He heard that Zhao Tingxuan would read in the imperial study every night, although he felt that it was impossible, he still passed.
Bai Shuqin didn't go out for a long time, and she saw Zhuo Linfeng coming with a lantern, and she hurriedly walked over.
Before Zhuo Linfeng could speak, she said, "Let's go back and talk about it!" ”
Zhao Country is rainy and rainy, but Zhuo Jinxuan is a sunny sky here.
Two days have passed since Zhuo Jinxuan withdrew from Bai Binbin's marriage, and Bai Shaoan did not take any action in the past two days, nor did he tell the emperor about Bai Shuqin.
That afternoon, Han Yu suddenly came to visit, which surprised Bai Shaoan.
Han Yu took a sip of tea, glanced at Bai Shao'an, and said leisurely: "Taiwei Bai doesn't seem to be in good spirits recently, but you have to take care of your body!" ”
Bai Shaoan felt a headache because of Bai Bingbin's matter, but it was not clear whether the national teacher in front of him was an enemy or a friend, and he would not say anything to him.
"There is Lao Guoshi worried, the old man is still in good health."
Han Yu raised the corners of his mouth meaningfully, "Not to mention the nest of the dove, someone has to withdraw the phoenix for that pheasant, who can stand it." Isn't it, Captain White? ”
Bai Shaoan looked at him in disbelief, not many people knew about this matter, not to mention how did Han Yu know about this matter not long ago?
Han Yu seemed to have the ability to read minds, "Taiwei Bai, do you think that in the position of the national teacher, I dare to sit without two brushes?" ”
"What do you want to do?" Bai Shaoan said defensively.
Han Yu put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Bai Shao'an's eyebrows raised, and said evilly: "Naturally, I'm here to help you!" ”
Bai Shaoan is not in his early twenties, he has been in the officialdom for half his life, he doesn't believe that Han Yu will suddenly be kind enough to help him.
"Hehe, it's just a bit of a family affair lately, how dare you bother the national teacher." Bai Shaoan refused with a smile.
Han Yu leaned back lazily on the chair, put his hands on the back of the chair, and said in a casual tone, "Do you think you can play with Bai Shuqin's woman?" ”
Bai Shao'an was silent, he didn't know why Bai Shuqin was suddenly so powerful. He had seen martial arts, and there were so many people in Baifu that time, she could solve it in a moment.
If it weren't for her mercy, I'm afraid that his house would be full of corpses that day.
Now Zhuo Jinxuan is even more fond of her, and there are many people around her who protect her, and it is not easy to kill her if she really wants to.
"I've heard that she seems to be investigating your official sales lately! I wonder how much evidence she has collected? Don't you dare to be interested? Han Yu asked him deliberately.
"What?" Bai Shaoan was greatly shocked, but he was worthy of being an old fox, so he immediately regained his composure and negotiated with Han Yu, "What do you want?" ”
Han Yu said word by word: "I want Bai Shuqin!" ”
