Chapter 139: Reminder
"Leave the affairs of the capital to me, you go and ask the emperor for a leave of absence, and go and get Bai Shuqin back. If you don't go to her, I think you'll go crazy sooner or later. Sima Liang proposed.
Zhuo Jinxuan hadn't thought about this matter, in fact, he had thought about it when he guessed that Bai Shuqin had already left the capital. But the people he sent out had not heard from her for so long, and he expected that the organization must have given her a new mission.
"Let's talk about it again." Zhuo Jinxuan was reluctant to say too much.
Sima Liang shook his head helplessly, to say that Zhuo Jinxuan was impulsive, but he was not so impulsive. He must have something to hide from him, and if he doesn't say it, he naturally won't ask.
The sun set under the high palace walls, and Bai Shuqin stood in the attic and looked into the distance.
The clear blue sky, without a single ethereal cloud, is endless blue, and it seems that the sky is so vast.
Zhou Tianmu did not arrange a place for Bai Shuqin, probably preparing to let her continue to live in his dormitory. It doesn't matter to her where she comes here or where she stays.
Before entering the palace, Nangong Che gave her a map of the palace. In addition to Zhou Tianmu's dormitory, the five princes who are most likely to have dealings with the people who betrayed the defense map.
Unlike Zhuo Guo, even if the Zhou State established the crown prince, those princes still lived in the palace and were not divided.
This is not a good thing for the crown prince, because it means that the crown prince's position may change at any time. And Bai Shuqin heard that there are many people who have the ability and ability among the princes, so Zhou Yusheng has the motive to obtain the defense map.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Tianmu appeared from the stairs.
Bai Shuqin turned his head and smiled happily, "Look at the sky, I have never seen such a blue and vast sky. β
"You really can't see such scenery in Zhuo Country." Zhou Tianmu said with a smile, Zhuo Country has a lush jungle, even in the plain area, it is rare to see such a scene.
Zhou Tianmu came to her side and stood with her on the edge of the threshold.
Bai Shuqin turned his head to look at him, he wanted to speak and stopped, and after thinking for a long time, he still decided to speak, "Your Majesty, why are you so good to me?" β
"You're a lot like a person." Zhou Tianmu looked at her and smiled, but he didn't plan to tell her who she looked like.
Bai Shuqin vaguely remembered that someone seemed to have said it to her, and she pouted, "Of course I'm like a person, I'm originally a human being." If you don't look like a human, like a cow, a pig, or a dog, it's terrible. β
"Hahaha, you have a point." Zhou Tianmu laughed.
Bai Shuqin also smiled and bent her eyes, she found that he liked this kind of simple and innocent person, to be precise, he liked the kind of girl who didn't know what was going on.
This is just acting for Bai Shuqin, she is self-aware. If she really shows people with her original character, this week Tianmu is afraid that she will think that she is cruel and terrible, and it is good to send her out of the palace, and it is more likely to be directly killed.
In order to play an innocent girl well, Bai Shuqin has lowered her IQ to the level of when she was three years old, and she is full of curiosity about everything, and she has so many problems that she can't stand it.
It's just that Zhou Tianmu seems to like her like this, and patiently answers every question she asks, even if it seems to be an idiot.
Bai Shuqin began to be curious, who did he think she looked like? will be so spoiled by her.
The maid who bathed her at night was the oldest maid she had ever seen, in her early sixties. She was a little embarrassed to let such a person who could be her grandmother serve her.
"It's been a long time since the old slave has seen the emperor so happy." The maid spoke.
Acting has to be a set, Bai Shuqin asked puzzledly, "Why?" Aren't you happy to be the emperor? β
"Outsiders think that being the emperor can do whatever they want, but in fact, there are many helpless things." The maid sighed with emotion, she had seen too many helpless things in the palace in her life.
Bai Shuqin naturally knew that the high place was unbearable, but there were still so many people in this world, and they still wanted to go to a high place. It can only be said that everyone has their own aspirations, she has no pursuit of rights, and all she wants is freedom.
But in this world, freedom seems to be more difficult to obtain than rights. At least now, she can't help herself.
After taking a bath, the maid wiped the water on Bai Shuqin's body with a towel, and sprinkled a few drops of potpourri on her neck and ankles, releasing a rich floral fragrance.
It was already night at this moment, and the maid just wrapped Bai Shuqin in a fur coat.
Bai Shuqin thought that he would let her sleep later, so he asked the maid with some worry, "Where will I sleep tonight?" β
"Changle Palace, it's been packed up this afternoon, come with me!" The maid said.
On the way, Bai Shuqin inquired and learned that this maid was originally the personal maid who served Princess Changle named Zhong Yang. Princess Changle is Zhou Tianmu's favorite daughter, but she died of illness a few years ago, and since then Zhou Tianmu seems to have changed as a person.
The decoration of Changle Palace is different from the emperor's bedroom, which is almost entirely white, here it is more pink, and occasionally white is only an embellishment.
The pink quilt is decorated with white lace on one corner, and the windows are hung with wind chimes made of pink feathers, which make a crisp sound when the wind blows occasionally.
Zhong Yang heard the bell and walked to the window to close it again.
Bai Shuqin knew how cold it was at night here, but it was as warm as spring in this room, and it was even warmer on the bed. Bai Shuqin didn't see the stove, and guessed that a kang might be used here for heating.
Bai Shuqin saw that Zhong Yang seemed to know a lot of things in the palace, so he wanted to ask her about those princes. She stopped Zhong Yang, who was still busy, "You've been busy for most of the day, let's rest." β
"It's okay, I'll go get some tea, the tea here is a little cold, and it's not good for women to drink it." Zhong Yang picked up the pale cyan teapot on the table and prepared to go out.
There were other maids in the room, but Zhong Yang still insisted on doing it himself. With her identity, in fact, there are very few things to do in the palace. Finally, I have something to do now, so I naturally want to be more busy.
Bai Shuqin couldn't resist her, so he could only go with her.
It was very quiet outside at night, and Bai Shuqin pushed the window open a little, and the cold wind poured in. She quickly closed the window and shrunk her shoulders.
Originally, she had planned to go out at night to look for clues, but now it seems that she should find another way. She didn't want to freeze herself to death before she found a clue.
Although Zhong Yang had been busy, Bai Shuqin still got a lot of clues out of her mouth.
Zhou Yusheng's mother is the queen, and he is also Zhou Tianmu's first son, so he established his position as the crown prince when he was born. is also because of this, he has been greedy for fun since he was a child, and forced away several Taifu, which gave Zhou Tianmu a headache.
Coupled with the fact that the other princes are talented and diligent and studious, Zhou Yusheng's life is even more difficult.
Maybe he was afraid that Zhou Tianmu would really abolish his position as the crown prince, but he had received a lot of temperament in the past two years, although he was not outstanding among several princes, but he also began to work hard.
Bai Shuqin thought of Zhou Yusheng's appearance, and felt funny in his heart, he looked like a gentleman.
Zhou Tianmu was a little strange that Bai Shuqin was really good, but after knowing about Princess Changle from Zhong Yang's mouth, Bai Shuqin knew that the person he said yesterday that she was like should be Princess Changle.
However, she should not look alike to Princess Changle, otherwise Zhong Yang would not have said nothing.
From the decoration of Changle Palace, Bai Shuqin guessed that this Princess Changle should be a carefree and naΓ―ve girl, so Zhou Tianmu liked the innocence she showed.
Bai Shuqin took out Princess Changle's usual preferences from Zhong Yang's mouth, and was ready to vote for Zhou Tianmu's favor.
"Guo Hu, did you say that girl was Zhao Guo defeated your blue heart?" Zhou Yusheng has been thinking about this question for the past two days, he thinks it's her, otherwise how could he wink at him, but her current appearance is a little different from in Zhao Guo.
The defeat in Zhao was a shame in Guo Hu's heart, although he admitted that Bai Shuqin was very powerful, but it was too disgraceful to be defeated by a woman. Hearing Zhou Yusheng ask like this, he immediately denied it, "Absolutely not!" β
"Are you sure? She doesn't have long hair, how many women in the world will cut their hair? Zhou Yusheng asked rhetorically.
"I've fought with her, and I remember what she looked like." Guo Hu said firmly, in fact, he was also unsure in his heart, but he resolutely refused to admit it, he hoped that he would never see her again in his life.
Zhou Yusheng thought about it and felt that it was too. Lan Xin is also a person under the second prince of Zhuo Guo, how could he be reduced to a dancing girl and sent here.
Thinking like this, Zhou Yusheng became happy. She didn't know her, but she winked at him, she must have been captured by his charm.
People who are too attractive will also have headaches, and Zhou Yusheng feels that his brain hurts. The woman's appearance is good, but after all, he was preempted by his father, so he can't go to rob a woman with his father.
But if someone takes the initiative to seduce him, he can't help it. Zhou Yusheng became excited again, threw the book in his hand, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go out for a walk." β
Zhou Changsheng, his younger brother Zhou Yusheng, who was born to the same queen, picked up the book he threw in the back and reminded him anxiously: "Brother Huang, wait for the Taifu to come to check, you can't go." β
Zhou Yusheng didn't take Taifu in his eyes at all, if it wasn't for the queen reminding him to be more restrained, he wouldn't even give him a good face. He waved his hand at Zhou Changsheng, "Just say that I have an urgency, good brother, and my brother will rely on you to cover up." β
"I'm not going to cover for you!" Zhou Changsheng looked at Zhou Yusheng's back, puffing out his face angrily.
Although he said that, when Taifu came, Zhou Changsheng still helped Zhou Yusheng lie. Who let him, the elder brother who is a round older than him, bring him delicious food every time he comes back from outside, and others bully him and protect him.
Zhou Yusheng knew that things were busy in the court today, and Zhou Tianmu must be too busy to take care of the affairs of the harem, so he took someone to sneak to Changle Palace.
Since Changle died, Zhou Yusheng has not come to Changle Palace. This time, I almost ran the wrong way.
Zhou Yusheng had just walked into Changle Palace a few steps before he was discovered by Zhong Yang.
"Prince, how did you get here?" Zhong Yang felt strange.
"Seeing that this door was open, I thought of the Changle Imperial Sister, so I came in and had a look." Zhou Yusheng pretended to be sad, but in fact he didn't have much affection for Changle.
Zhong Yang remembered that Changle was also a little sad, and persuaded Zhou Yusheng not to be sad, so he went to do her business.
Whether it was the maids in the other palaces, concubines, or some female celebrities and other things to do, Bai Shuqin didn't have anything. The weather outside was nice, the sun wasn't as hot as it was at noon, and she was ready to go for a walk.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Bai Shuqin was thinking about how to find Zhou Yusheng, but he didn't expect Zhou Yusheng to send it to the door himself.
Zhou Yusheng also noticed her for the first time, and the folds on his smiling face rose, "Girl, have we met somewhere?" β
It's really an old-fashioned accosting, Bai Shuqin complained in his heart, still with a smile on his face, and asked with doubt, "Who are you?" β
"I'm the crown prince, didn't I see it at the banquet the day before yesterday?" Zhou Yusheng took the initiative to approach her.
Bai Shuqin stayed away from him a little, and hurriedly saluted, "The people's daughter Bai Shuqin has seen the prince, and the prince is blessed with Jin'an." β
