Chapter 74: Committing Stupidity
"Penang, where are you still doing? Come on in, the three princes are waiting! Madame Bai urged.
Bai Bingbin lowered his head and stepped through the door. She saluted lightly to Zhuo Jinxuan, "Penang, I've seen the three princes." ”
"No need to be polite." Zhuo Jinxuan said politely.
Mrs. Bai also sensed that something was wrong, looked at the two of them, and pretended to be relaxed: "You have been playing together since you were children, why are you polite when you are older." If it weren't for that woman, the two of you would have been husband and wife. ”
"Mother!" Bai Bingbin shouted anxiously.
Zhuo Jinxuan smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Yes, probably I don't have a husband and wife relationship with Penang in my life." ”
Bai Bingbin looked at him in surprise with a look of disbelief.
Bai Shaoan also felt that this was inappropriate, and tried to play a round, "How can there be no fate?" In my opinion, it's just a good thing! ”
"yes, that's a good thing. Don't say that, you'll always find a chance to swap Penang for that woman in the future! Madame Bai followed.
Zhuo Jinxuan obviously didn't mean this, he frowned, thought for a while, and still said what he thought in his heart truthfully.
"In this life, I have decided to marry only Bai Shuqin!"
This sentence was like a thunderclap on the ground, and the three people in Baifu were shocked.
Although Bai Shaoan pretended to be calm, he still had a shocked expression on his face. Madame Bai was full of anger, if it weren't for the fact that he was the third prince, I was afraid that she would scold in the next second.
Only Bai Bing Bing, calm is not like words.
There was no sadness, grievance and anger expected by Zhuo Jinxuan, as if what he said had nothing to do with her.
"Did Bai Shuqin threaten you?" Bai Bingbin smiled and looked into Zhuo Jinxuan's eyes and asked.
"No, I decided!" Zhuo Jinxuan replied to her firmly.
Bai Bingbin didn't speak, she didn't believe Zhuo Jinxuan would make such a decision. Let a man give up three wives and four concubines, what a deep affection it must be.
In order to let her understand that she was serious, Zhuo Jinxuan continued: "I want to join hands with Bai Shuqin for the rest of my life. Penang, I'm sorry. ”
"Excuse me? I am your wife! Did You Know? Bai Bingbin suddenly shouted loudly, she stared at Zhuo Jinxuan angrily, "Hehe, Bai Shuqin snatched my position, forget it, and now he robs you." ”
"I can endure for the sake of your face, and that's because I believe that you love me, and you will eventually give me my place back. But you, what did you do to me? ”
Bai Bingbin's accusation, Zhuo Jinxuan could not answer. He did owe her too much, only now that he had made his choice.
"Penang, I'm ashamed of you. Tell me, how can I mitigate the damage done to you? As long as I can do it, I will not shirk. Zhuo Jinxuan said very sincerely.
Bai Bingbin only felt ridiculous when she heard it, and she replied with a wry smile: "Okay, you can not marry me, but I also don't allow you to marry that woman!" ”
Bai Bingbin's reaction Zhuo Jinxuan really didn't expect it, and it was absolutely impossible for him to agree to her request. If he didn't marry Bai Shuqin, then he would rather bear the name of a bearer.
Bai Bingbin noticed the reluctance on his face and laughed: "Haha, that's good! Just report this matter to the emperor and let the emperor call the shots! ”
"Penang!" Zhuo Jinxuan called her and said in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive. ”
Bai Bingbin ignored him and asked Bai Shaoan instead, "Dad, what do you think?" ”
Zhuo Jinxuan did too unkind in this matter, and after this incident, he wanted Bai Bingbing to marry someone. Bai Shaoan has doted on this only daughter since she was a child, he looked at Zhuo Jinxuan, and said flatly: "What's the matter, my father bears it, and I will definitely give you justice!" ”
Madame Bai looked at Bai Shao'an adoringly, "Master! ”
Zhuo Jinxuan had already expected such a result, and he was even a little relaxed, "Let's do it!" In any case, in this life, I only recognize Bai Shuqin as his wife. ”
Bai Bingbin gritted his teeth, and still asked without giving up: "What is so good about her?" Ugly in appearance and low in birth, what do you like about her? ”
"In my eyes, she is the best looking person in the world. I don't care about her birth, all I care about is whether she can stay with me for the rest of my life. Zhuo Jinxuan talked about Bai Shuqin, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
After all, Bai Shao'an is from the past, and he also promised Mrs. Bai when he was young that he would have no two hearts in this life. However, after all, he still made the mistakes that all men make.
No one could better understand what this promise meant, and he advised Zhuo Jinxuan: "Third prince, you are still young. A man should have three wives and four concubines, so you should think about it! ”
Zhuo Jinxuan naturally knew what he was referring to, but he had already thought about everything.
"I know what this promise means, and I can do it. With Bai Shuqin, I don't need other women. Zhuo Jinxuan once again expressed his intentions.
Bai Bingbin didn't want to hear him confess to Bai Shuqin, and her hatred for Bai Shuqin was almost irrepressible.
"Let's go!" White Bin Penang issued an eviction order.
"Penang, I will do my best to compensate you, but I can't leave Shu'er. I don't want your father to be involved in this, and I'll take all the responsibility. ”
Bai Bingbin pointed out the door and yelled at him, "Let's go! ”
"Third prince, you can go back first." Bai Shaoan followed, he was afraid that if he continued to stay here, Bai Bingbing would be more stimulated.
Zhuo Jinxuan nodded, "Then I'll leave first." ”
As soon as he walked out the door, there was the sound of a teacup breaking behind him. Zhuo Jinxuan stopped and continued to walk out.
Bai Bingbin sat down in a chair and cried bitterly on the coffee table next to him.
Mrs. Bai was also extremely angry, and she was angry at Bai Shao'an, "It's all your sin!" Giving birth to such a thing will not only torture me, but also your daughter. Are you satisfied now? ”
"Madam, how can I be satisfied!" Bai Shaoan sighed, if he knew that there was today's situation, even if he didn't raise it from now on, he wouldn't touch a single hair of Helan.
"You say, what now?" Madame White glared at him.
Bai Shaoan only felt a headache, there was always an infatuated person among the princes of previous dynasties, and this generation was Zhuo Jinxuan. He would rather he spend more than he does now.
"Don't make any noise!" Bai Bingbin suddenly stood up and yelled at them.
Mrs. Bai also knew that the most uncomfortable thing now was Bai Bingbing, so she took back the swearing words that came to her lips and said to Bai Shaoan in a harmonious voice: "Let's go out and talk." ”
Bai Shao'an nodded and followed behind Mrs. Bai, and when he went out, Mrs. Bai asked, "Master, if you really tell the emperor about this matter, what will be the consequences?" ”
This has never happened before, and there is no historical record to be found. But if this matter spreads, it will definitely damage the royal majesty, but I am afraid that there will be no good results.
Bai Shaoan thought for a while before returning to Mrs. Bai, "The best result is to demote me to an official position and become the third imperial concubine." At worst, not only will I be dismissed, but Penang will not be able to become the Third Imperial Concubine. But that woman, with the protection of the three princes, will not have the worst outcome in any way. ”
"God really doesn't open his eyes!" Madame Bai said angrily.
Mrs. Bai's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said to Bai Shao'an: "Do you still want such a daughter?" ”
Bai Shaoan thought that she was going to turn over old accounts again, so she hurriedly said, "Madam, what do you say?" I wish she had never been born and wished she had disappeared from this world. ”
"That's right! All the problems now are caused by Bai Shuqin, as long as she disappears, the three princes have no reason to withdraw from the marriage, aren't we the three princesses again! Madame White was very pleased with her idea.
"That's right! Or Mrs. Smart! Bai Shaoan complimented, he didn't need to think about any father-daughter kindness for a daughter like Bai Shuqin, it was best to let her disappear.
Bai Shuqin only felt an inexplicable chill behind her, she shrunk her shoulders, it was really cold on a cloudy day, she should add a piece of clothing.
It was raining, and most of the flowers in the courtyard had just bloomed, and it seemed like autumn was coming.
Zhuo Linfeng's sobriety changed what was already a foregone conclusion.
The prince of Zhou also came to visit Zhuo Linfeng, he didn't feel that he was wrong, he only blamed Zhuo Linfeng for being too weak.
Bai Shuqin would take time to take care of Zhuo Linfeng in the afternoon, and she would bring a basket of fruits. When she came to Zhuo Linfeng's room, she had already eaten two of the apples.
Zhuo Linfeng's body has almost recovered, and he can get out of bed.
"Second brother, it looks like you're in good shape! This is the apple I took from Princess Linlang, taste it, it's sweet! Bai Shuqin smiled and put the fruit basket on the table, picked up an apple, peeled it with a knife and handed it to Zhuo Linfeng.
Zhuo Linfeng took the apple, there were only the two of them in the room, and then he asked her, "Why did you come back here?" Third brother, how can he rest assured! ”
"If I don't come, you'll die!" Bai Shuqin said it rightly.
Zhao Linlang had already told him about it, but when he heard Bai Shuqin say such a thing, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart.
"Why are you helping me like this?" Zhuo Linfeng asked with a smile in his eyes.
"Because you are Jinxuan's second brother, that is my second brother. I'm naturally going to help with your business! Besides, Linlang is also my friend, and helping you is equivalent to helping her again. "Bai Shuqin said honestly.
"You've got a good idea." Zhuo Linfeng praised.
Zhao Linlang told him the original idea she came up with, and it was indeed feasible. In the past, Emperor Zhao must have been weak-hearted.
Zhuo Linfeng only needed to give him a hint, if he didn't marry Zhao Linlang to him, he would tell his father about it.
At this time, as long as Zhao Linlang puts pressure on the emperor again, shows his attitude, and lets the emperor see her determination again, the emperor will naturally be happy to be a favor at that time.
As for the crown prince of Zhou, he is also responsible for this matter. Even if he was stupid, the strategists below would not let him be stupid. "Your Majesty, the second prince is asking to see you outside." The chief manager of Ouchi said to the emperor with a sharp voice.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and turned the page of the book in his hand, "Let him in." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The chief manager of the inner hall brought Zhuo Linfeng into the inner hall, and the decoration of the inner hall was more quaint, not as magnificent as the outer hall. The emperor sat behind the pear blossom wood desk and concentrated on flipping through the books in his hand.
After entering the inner hall, the chief administrator retreated behind the emperor and stood respectfully.
Zhuo Linfeng stepped forward to salute, but the emperor put down the book, "If you are not well, the number of courtesies will be waived." ”
"Emperor Xie!" Zhuo Linfeng is also not polite.
As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and Zhuo Linfeng must have something to discuss when he came this time. The emperor looked at him carefully, his body was slender, his eyebrows were handsome, and even his temperament was one in a hundred.
Zhuo Linfeng met his gaze and said, "Your Majesty, I hope to have another competition!" ”
"Oh?" The emperor made a puzzled voice, and the game was invalidated due to his serious injury.
His body has not yet recovered, and if he tries again at this moment, he will definitely lose. The emperor didn't care about the result, he just didn't want the last incident to happen again.
"I will definitely lose the competition, but I don't think the emperor will want to marry Princess Linlang to a reckless man with no force." Zhuo Linfeng said slowly.
The emperor frowned, was he sarcastic about Zhou Yusheng's lack of force?
"Since you said that the competition was postponed, the results of the last competition should not be counted. Can I change the rules of the competition? ”
The emperor was a little surprised, Zhuo Linfeng knew the news he released to the outside world, and naturally knew that he had put all his people under house arrest. He could have threatened him with that.
Now that he didn't mention this matter at all, the emperor's opinion of him has changed a little. "How do you think this can be changed?"
