Chapter 59: Laughing
When the ministers saw Zhuo Linfeng coming, they consciously made a way for him to pass.
Han Yu noticed Zhuo Linfeng, sat lazily on the chair, poured two glasses of wine, picked up the wine glass and got up to block his way, handed him one of the glasses of wine, and said with a smile: "Second prince, don't you mind if I toast you?" ”
Everyone toasted Han Yu throughout the party, but Zhuo Linfeng did not. He was weak and rarely participated in such occasions, but at this moment, Han Yu took the initiative, and he couldn't shirk it, so he had to take the wine glass.
"It's me who should respect the national teacher! If you are negligent, please forgive me. Zhuo Linfeng picked up the wine with both hands and drank it all.
The wine in Han Yu's hand hadn't moved yet, and Zhuo Linfeng didn't care, putting the wine glass back on the table, "I still have something to do, the national teacher, please have fun." ”
Han Yu looked at Zhuo Linfeng's back playfully, this errand was much more interesting than he thought.
Li Shangshu was still pouring wine for Zhuo Jinxuan, Zhuo Linfeng walked over and snatched the wine glass from Zhuo Jinxuan's hand, and said to the other ministers: "The third brother is a little drunk, the ministers are good in moderation." ”
Although Zhuo Linfeng is the second prince, because there is no support behind him, and he has disobeyed the emperor many times because of marriage, these ministers do not take him seriously.
Wu Yushi's face was red because he had drunk too much wine, and he held the wine unsteadily, and said drunkly: "Second prince, today is a good day." Let's have a good time with the three princes, and we haven't respected you, are you unhappy? ”
The other ministers all laughed when they heard this, Zhuo Linfeng's face sank, and he looked at Wu Yushi coldly.
Wu Yushi inexplicably felt a chill in his body, and even the wine seemed to be sober. But the laughter around him soon suppressed the discomfort.
Zhuo Linfeng supported Zhuo Jinxuan, who was already a little dizzy, and whispered: "Third brother, you drank too much, your younger brother and sister are pregnant, don't let her wait too long." ”
Zhuo Jinxuan heard Bai Shuqin and nodded at him.
How could this group of ministers easily let go of the opportunity to get drunk Zhuo Jinxuan, Zhuo Linfeng picked up a glass of wine, smiled and relieved Zhuo Jinxuan: "Ministers, the third brother is already drunk. I'm here to have a drink with you. ”
They naturally knew that Zhuo Jinxuan was too weak to drink, even if he was not favored, after all, he was also a prince, and they didn't dare to make a mistake.
"Second brother!" Zhuo Jinxuan put one hand on Zhuo Linfeng's shoulder, and said to the ministers who surrounded him with a slightly drunken face: "Today is the canonization ceremony of the national teacher, how can you just surround us and snub our national teacher?" ”
"What the third prince said is, let's go and pay tribute to the national teacher again!" Wu Yushi took the lead in responding.
The ministers took the wine jug and turned to walk towards Han Yu. Han Yu did not refuse these ministers, and he continued to follow them all.
Bai Shuqin saw those ministers disperse, so he got up and walked towards Zhuo Jinxuan. She helped Zhuo Jinxuan from Zhuo Linfeng's hand, smelling the smell of wine on his body, she couldn't help but turn her face away.
After a while, Bai Shuqin thanked Zhuo Linfeng and said, "Thank you, second brother, let's go back first." ”
Zhuo Jinxuan is a head taller than Bai Shuqin, and his body size is much wider than Bai Shuqin, Zhuo Linfeng was afraid that she would be struggling, so he took the initiative to propose: "Let me send you back." ”
"Don't bother, there's an entourage waiting outside!" Bai Shuqin politely smiled and refused.
Zhuo Jinxuan leaned on Bai Shuqin and said to Zhuo Linfeng: "Second brother, I want to trouble you to talk to your father." Shu'er and I, let's go first. ”
"Okay, don't worry." Zhuo Linfeng nodded in agreement.
Bai Shuqin smelled the smell of wine on Zhuo Jinxuan's body, and she was a little disgusted, she frowned, "You are not allowed to drink so much in the future!" ”
As soon as he left the venue, Zhuo Jinxuan's tense nerves relaxed, and the drunkenness hit instantly, and he said inarticulately: "Yes, listen to Madame!" ”
Bai Shuqin only felt tormented for a moment now, and finally walked outside, after Du Zijun stepped forward to help Zhuo Jinxuan over, she immediately ran to the side and vomited.
I didn't eat much at night, and this vomit vomited out all the acid water in my stomach.
Zhuo Jinxuan saw Bai Shuqin vomiting and insisted on going over to see what was wrong with her.
Bai Shuqin stretched out his hand and ordered Du Zijun: "Du Zijun, stop him for me, don't let him get close to me!" ”
Du Zijun dragged Zhuo Jinxuan desperately, Zhuo Jinxuan heard that she didn't let him get close, his face was full of grievances, and he stayed in place like a child and looked at her pitifully.
Bai Shuqin finally felt better, but he would not be deceived by Zhuo Jinxuan's appearance. She hurriedly stepped back three meters and said to Du Zijun: "Just keep this distance, wait for us to sit separately, do you hear?" ”
"Got it!" Du Zijun responded, he only felt that the drunk Zhuo Jinxuan was like a mountain.
Bai Shuqin still looked relaxed when he helped him just now, Du Zijun wondered in his heart how strong Bai Shuqin was, it didn't seem to be half as heavy as him, where did all this strength come from?
Bai Shuqin rode a sedan chair alone, returned to the mansion and resolutely did not share the same room with Zhuo Jinxuan, and ordered Qingluan and Du Zijun to drag him to other rooms.
Zhuo Jinxuan drank at least two catties of liquor, and bumped all the way in the carriage, and was already drunk and unconscious at this moment. But when he heard that Bai Shuqin didn't sleep with him, he still staggered and wanted to hug her.
Bai Shuqin hurriedly dodged to the side, Zhuo Jinxuan took the Qingluan next to her as her, hugged her waist, and half spread it on the ground like a puddle of mud.
Qingluan is not pushing away, nor is it not pushing. She looked at Bai Shuqin in embarrassment, but Bai Shuqin said to her with a sympathetic face: "I have wronged you, bear with me." ”
Then she pointed at them, turned to Du Zijun and yelled, "Du Zijun, throw both of them out to me!" ”
When Du Zijun heard this, he hurriedly ran over, and said to Qingluan embarrassedly: "Sister Qing, it's all ordered by the Third Imperial Concubine, don't blame me!" ”
Qingluan secretly rolled his eyes and said to him: "You help me take the third prince's arm away, and we will throw him out together!" ”
Du Zijun knew that he didn't have the ability to throw two people, so he had to listen to Qingluan, and with her, he carried Zhuo Jinxuan to the room where the maids lived next door for a temporary night.
As soon as Zhuo Jinxuan left, Bai Shuqin immediately opened the doors and windows to breathe, and it was as if he had come to life.
The Spring Festival is approaching, large households are decorated with lights, and small households are also lively. But there is a group of people who have no fixed place to live and beg for a living.
The snowstorm some time ago made the victims outside the capital beg for their families.
The guards at the gates stopped most of the victims, but there was always a way for them. As long as they cross the city gate, they will have food and they will be able to live, and this gate is the door of life in their eyes.
There are not many ministers in the DPRK and China who are willing to take care of this mess, and even if they want to deal with it, they want to press it until the next year.
After Bai Shaoan learned about this, he funded the purchase of food and let the people in the palace go out of the city to distribute it to the refugees, and on the other hand, he actively communicated with the emperor.
Knowing about this from Zhuo Jinxuan, Bai Shuqin's first reaction was that Bai Shaoan was putting on a show. She didn't think he had such a good heart, and she could know from the dowry he gave that he had collected a lot of people's fat and ointment over the years.
"Maybe after what happened to you last time, he had an epiphany." Zhuo Jinxuan had a different opinion, "To help these victims, it takes real money." ”
Bai Shuqin sat on the recliner, let the sun shine on his body, and casually picked up a sour plum and put it in his mouth. The money for relief to the victims may be just a drop in the bucket for Bai Shaoan.
Seeing that Bai Shuqin was not interested in this matter, Zhuo Jinxuan did not continue. However, Bai Shaoan is her father after all, and he still hopes that the two can repair their relationship.
Of course, Bai Shuqin knew what he thought, but in this world, there was only the Bai family, and she would never forgive.
The queen's ladies' party was about to start, and Bai Shuqin got up early to dress up. The scar on her forehead was hidden by her, and because of her short hair, she did not choose a dress that was too grand.
They were not the first to enter the palace, before them, the eldest prince Zhuo Qingyuan had already arrived with the eldest princess.
Bai Shuqin didn't have much contact with the eldest princess, but judging from the expression of the eldest princess, she was an arrogant person. After all, she is also a princess of a country, so she naturally doesn't take Bai Shuqin in her eyes.
"Son, I have seen the queen mother. The queen mother is blessed with gold! Zhuo Jinxuan and Bai Shuqin said in unison.
"No rudeness!" The queen said solemnly.
Zhuo Qingyuan sat on the queen's right hand with Zhou Xuan, and Zhuo Jinxuan and Bai Shuqin naturally sat on the queen's left hand.
It was still early, and the queen gossiped with a few people.
Zhou Xuan has been pregnant for nine months and will give birth soon, so the queen naturally chatted with her more. This made Zhou Xuan's eyes look at Bai Shuqin with arrogance.
Bai Shuqin always listened with a smile, Zhuo Jinxuan knew that Bai Shuqin liked to eat sour recently, so he peeled an orange for her.
When the queen saw it, she smiled and said: "They all say that sour and spicy girls, you must be a boy in your arms." ”
Zhou Xuan's face immediately changed when she heard this, because she was pregnant and had a spicy craving. Bai Shuqin saw it in his eyes and replied with a smile: "Maybe it's just that the girl has a more lively personality!" ”
"Haha, Jinxuan's mother was very sweet when she was pregnant with him, and she thought he was a girl at the beginning!" The queen couldn't help but laugh when she thought about the past.
When Zhuo Qingyuan heard it, he followed and said, "Yes, this sour and spicy girl is not allowed." I heard that it is more accurate to see from the shape of the belly, and if you see that Xuan'er's belly is so pointed, it must be a boy. ”
Only then did a smile appear on Zhou Xuan's face, and he covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, boys and girls, I like our children." ”
Bai Shuqin was very disgusted with their performance, obviously patriarchal in his heart. She glanced at Zhuo Jinxuan and asked him in a low voice, "Do you like boys or girls?" ”
"Girl!" Zhuo Jinxuan replied to her directly without thinking about it.
This answer made Bai Shuqin a little surprised, at this time, do people like girls more? She couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”
Zhuo Jinxuan peeled off a petal of orange and put it on Bai Shuqin's lips, and Bai Shuqin naturally opened his mouth.
Zhuo Qingyuan next to him saw it, and said in a strange tone: "The relationship between the third brother and the third sister is really good!" ”
Bai Shu Qin took a look, and the orange that had just been bitten was not in a hurry to chew. Zhuo Jinxuan took out a handkerchief and wiped the oranges off the corner of her mouth, and replied to Zhuo Qingyuan unceremoniously: "Shu'er is frail, and I, as her husband, naturally have to take more care of her." It's rare to have something she loves to eat, don't worry about it. ”
Zhou Xuan looked at Zhuo Qingyuan dissatisfied, thinking that she was messing around with flowers and grass during her pregnancy, and even the personal maid she brought from Zhou Guo did not let go, and he was angry in his heart.
The queen sensed Zhou Xuan's dissatisfaction, and took out the majesty of the queen and told Zhuo Qingyuan: "Qingyuan, you also want to learn from Jinxuan." Xuan'er is about to give birth, you have to accompany her well. ”
"What the queen mother said is that I must love Xuan'er even more." Zhuo Qingyuan agreed, reaching out to shake Zhou Xuan's hand, but Zhou Xuan dodged it, allowing him to shake it empty.
Zhuo Qingyuan originally wanted to show affection and extinguish Zhuo Jinxuan's limelight, but he was dodged by Zhou Xuan, so he could only smile awkwardly. Thinking resentfully in his heart, if she wasn't the princess of Zhou Kingdom, he would definitely give her a good look when he went back.
The minister's daughters entered the palace one after another, and everyone came to salute Bai Shuqin, and Bai Shuqin responded with a smile, which made her a little tired.
Madame Bai came late with Bai Bingbing, and just entered the palace, Madame Bai took Bai Bingbing to the queen to say goodbye.
The queen saw the appearance of Bai Bingbin out of the water hibiscus, which was not much worse than Bai Shuqin, and couldn't help but praise: "Madame Bai is so blessed, both daughters are so good." ”
