Chapter 51

"What marriage contract?"

Bai Wu exclaimed: "You don't know? ”

"What do I know, what marriage contract?"

Bai Wu rolled his eyes left and right, "It's nothing, I remember wrong." ”

"Did you really remember wrong?"

"You know that I don't have a good memory since I was a child," Bai Wu thought that since the old prince didn't tell him, it was probably deliberately concealed, so he simply pretended to be confused, "It's common to remember anything wrong." ”

"I don't know," Bai Xiying said slowly, "You also said that I grew up in the Taoist temple since I was a child, who knew that you had a bad memory." ”

"This ......" Bai Wu was still hesitating to tell a lie, and suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and the tip of the unfolded white jade folding fan actually pulled out a thin blade, which was so white that it was shiny.

"Tell me, what's the marriage contract?"

Bai Wu shrank back in shock, "You, you, you...... You get rid of this thing first! ”

"I'll take it when you say it."

"You get out of the way and I'll talk about it." Bai Wu didn't believe that Bai Hao dared to really do it.

Who knew that Bai Hao really brought the folding fan a little closer, "Do you say it or not-"

The blade was less than half an inch away from Bai Wu's neck, even if Bai Hao didn't dare to hurt him, he was still afraid that he would see blood if he was not careful, so he confessed: "You and the eldest lady of the Tan Youxiang family have had a marriage contract since childhood, which is the will of the saint. The right loves his daughter, saying that he will marry when the eldest lady of the Tan family reaches the age of eighteen. ”

"Miss Tan is young this year?"

"Eighteen."

Bai Hao put away the folding fan and knocked on the table for a while.

Bai Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and then added: "Actually, this eldest lady of the Tan family, I was fortunate to meet once, and she looks so good that she can't say that she is alluring to the country and the city, but after all, she is still beautiful and beautiful, but she is not very gentle by the right minister." ”

"......" Bai Hao looked out the window and didn't speak.

"You are also twenty-two this year, it's time to get married, the eldest lady of the Tan family and you can also be regarded as a good family, this is a good family business."

Bai Hao continued to be silent, frowning slightly, and got up to leave.

"Hey, wait-" Bai Wu took advantage of Bai Hao's lack of room to get out of the private room, and grabbed his sleeve robe, "If you want to escape the marriage, I can't take care of it, so settle the account first." ”

Bai Hao threw a money bag with a cold face and smashed it on Bai Wu's chest, pulling out the corners of his robe, "I'll go back to the palace first." ”

Bai Wu flipped his money bag and didn't care about anything else.

Bai Hao hurried back to King Ning's mansion, and the housekeeper came out to lead the horse when he heard the sound, "Eldest son, you can be regarded as back." ”

"Where's the prince?"

The housekeeper had a smile on his face, "The prince is in the study." ”

Bai Hao tidied up his robe and walked to the study.

The light in the study was a little dim, and there was a person sitting in front of the desk. The man was over half a hundred years old, with a moderate figure, wearing a bright blue half-worn robe, with a good spirit, and it could be seen from his facial features that he was also handsome when he was young.

King Ning held a roll of old bamboo slips in his hand, and wrote something on the paper as he looked at it.

Bai Hao stepped forward respectfully, "Dad, the child is back." ”

King Ning put down the scroll in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

The handsome young man in front of him was not King Ning's biological son, but a stranger whom King Ning rescued at the border three years ago.

At that time, the border was chaotic, and many families were ruined. That man only had two guards, and he used to be the son of a family, but he was attacked by mountain bandits and fled here, and he was very embarrassed.

King Ning had just learned of the death of his eldest son Bai Hao at that time, and seeing that the young man was about the same age as the deceased son, he accepted him as his adopted son, and called him the eldest son of King Ning's mansion to the outside world. And the real Bai Hao stayed in a Taoist temple in the suburbs soon after he was born, and few people had seen him except for the people in the Taoist temple.

In addition, the man often wears a half-masked mask, so he can't see the whole picture clearly.

As a result, he became the current Bai Miao.

This person is both talented and good-looking, and he knows how to be polite and kind, and he is even liked by King Ning, and treats him as if he were his own. But it caused the second son Bai Wu to be jealous and hateful, and the two brothers were not in harmony.

Bai Hao bowed down, "The child has not returned for two years, it is really unfilial, please punish my father." ”

King Ning stepped forward to help him up, "It's good that Mao'er can come back, I've suffered outside all these years, and I feel like you've lost a lot of weight." ”

"No," Bai Hao smiled, "It's just that I'm in a hurry when I come back, and I'm really tired." ”

King Ning gently patted Bai Hao's shoulder, "Then you go and rest first, this king will let people prepare and prepare for you tonight." ”

"Thank you daddy for your kindness," Bai Hao paused for a moment and said, "It's just that the child has a question that needs to be answered by his father." ”

"Oh? What the problem, let's hear it. ”

"Do you really have a marriage contract with the Tan family?"

King Ning took two steps outside and looked at the sky outside near the door, "You know everything?" ”

"It's only recently been heard."

"This marriage contract was made fifteen years ago," King Ning said slowly, "Your Majesty's will." ”

The decree of God is not to be disobeyed. Resistant, capital offense.

"The child knows."

King Ning turned around, his face was heavy, and his tone was serious, "Mao'er, this eldest lady of the Tan family, I can't marry King Ning's Mansion-"

......

After Murong Jin got off the bed, he recuperated for nearly half a month in the name of recuperation, and then he got the will to return to the school palace to attend classes.

Nan Xiao was really brought into the palace in the first two days of class, and lived in the side compartment of the inner courtyard of the Fuyue Palace. Murong Jin talked to him about the palace rules and taught him to read and write.

Nan Xiao is smart and learns things quickly, but compared to other sons, he is still a lot behind. Due to his special status, it is inconvenient to speak out, so Emperor Yan gave Nan Xiao the title of "Rui Wang Yizi".

It was raining on the day of class, and Murong Jin called another attendant named Yun Fang to hold an umbrella, while Dong Xian held an umbrella for Nan Xiao on the side.

Murong Jin hadn't spoken to Dongxian for a long time, and Dongxian was also very interesting, so he moved to the outer courtyard and tried not to appear in front of Murong Jin.

He came today, or yesterday Nan Xiao said that he was clever in his work, but Murong Jin didn't say much, so he followed.

I got up a moment late this morning, so the two of them were the latest to arrive at the Academy.

As soon as they entered the school, everyone's eyes were on the two. Nan Xiao hid behind Murong Jin a little uncomfortably, still a little timid after all.

"His name is Nan Xiao, and he will be my companion from today onwards." Murong Jin said loudly.

Murong Jin has a new companion to read, which is naturally worth discussing. It's just that everyone doesn't recognize this Nan Xiao, and they don't know which family's child it is, and they have never heard of the reputation of the Nan family.

Murong Li sneered: "Ah Qi, you see, this person's name also has the word 'Nan' embedded in it. ”

Nangong Qi's face did not change, but his tone was obviously displeased, "Your Highness said with a smile, although there is only one word difference between 'Nan' and 'Nangong', the difference is not just that one word. Where is the wild son, how can he talk about it with the Nangong family. ”

This is said frivolously, arrogantly and rudely.

Murong Jin looked down at Nangong Qi and frowned slightly, "Shizi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Nangong Qi was stunned for a moment, but he still got up and saluted, "Fourth Highness." ”

Murong Li pulled Nangong Qi to sit down, and said with a smile: "I don't know which family's son this Nan Xiao is." ”

"He is the adopted son of Uncle Rui."

"I said," Murong Li chuckled, "It turned out to be Uncle Rui's righteous sonβ€”"
