Chapter 24 With Whom?
After lunch that day, Bai Xi was about to go to Lu Zhaoling, when he suddenly received an edict that he would go to the imperial study to face the saint.
I think it's for Zhaoling's sister's business.
Bai Xi said secretly in his heart.
Entering the imperial study, the emperor was standing in front of the window, looking at the scenery in the courtyard.
"The son visits his father." Bai Xi bowed.
"Hmm." The emperor answered and did not look back.
"What is the matter with my father and son coming?" Bai Xi asked.
"You don't know?" The emperor asked rhetorically.
"I don't know." Bai Yu lowered his head and said.
"Huh. Good. The emperor slowly paced a few steps and came to Bai Xi, "I ask you, do you know everything about Princess Tongguang and your third brother?" ”
"Yes." Bai Xi admitted.
"Why have you been hanging out with Princess Tongguang lately? Do you really like her, or do you want to compete with your third brother for a woman? ”
"Erchen thought this woman was interesting, so he just spent a few days with her." Bai Xi said with a smile.
"Oh. If you like it, I will marry her. The emperor lowered his eyes and looked down at Bai Xi, and said slowly.
"My father's words are biased." Bai Xi raised his eyes and looked directly at the emperor, "The third brother married the daughter of the Zhenguo General's Mansion as a concubine, is the son only worthy of marrying an insignificant woman?" ”
The emperor was silent, staring sharply at Bai Xi, Bai Xi did not shy away from it, there seemed to be unwillingness and anger in his eyes, and he also stared at the emperor.
The two looked at each other like this for a while, and the emperor finally spoke first: "You are very good." ”
"What does Father mean?" Bai Xi frowned.
"The daughter of Prime Minister Zuo's family is the same age as you, she is still in the boudoir, and you have seen her a few times. After a few days of autumn hunting, I will ask her to accompany you. ”
Bai Xi didn't answer for a while.
"Do you have any objections?" The emperor stared at Bai Xi, but he couldn't see what he was thinking for a while.
"No, the son was overjoyed and thanked his father." Bai Xi smiled and saluted.
Leaving the imperial study, Bai Xi went to the racecourse as usual.
"Oh, it's good now, how will I explain to Sister Zhaoling later?" Bai Xi muttered to himself.
The black shadow appeared next to Bai Xi at the right time, listening quietly, but did not interject.
"Originally, I thought that if it was a pastime, my father would not care, but I didn't expect it to be so tight, and he said that he wanted to test me by marrying. forced me to say that I couldn't even say anything about wanting to take Zhaoling's sister to participate in the autumn hunt. ”
Bai Xi said with a wry smile as he walked slowly.
"Why is my father so nervous? I originally thought that my father was just despising her, but now it seems that my father is always on guard against her. Even if there is a rebellion in the Ryuk Kingdom, it is not enough to shake Anping even a little, not to mention that Zhaoling's sister is just a child who came to Anping as a hostage at the age of seven, what threat can there be? ”
Bai Xi was really puzzled.
"Maybe it has something to do with Shen Fengjiu's intention." The dark shadow said in a hoarse voice.
"Shen Fengjiu?" Bai Xi was reminded of it, "He came to the palace and said that he was ordered by his master to find Princess Tongguang, and it seems that even his father doesn't know what he wants to do." ”
"This man is really secretive." Black Shadow Road.
"Why would my father allow a person from the rivers and lakes to live in the palace for a long time for an unknown purpose?"
"The will is unpredictable." Black Shadow Road.
"How is Shen Fengjiu's identity investigated?"
"The people have arrived in Jinzhou, and there will be news back in a few days."
"Move fast." Bai Xi looked a little anxious.
--
Since I met Li Zhu'er once at the racecourse that day, I haven't seen her again for several days.
Today, Lu Zhaoling waited at the racecourse for a long time, and even Bai Xi was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Zhaoling had some bad premonitions in his heart, and the snow treading beside him also looked a little uneasy.
Just waiting, a team of people came not far away, and when they approached, Lu Zhaoling saw that it was Princess Yuquan's sedan chair.
It was the first time I saw Princess Yuquan at this time.
Princess Yuquan obviously also noticed Lu Zhaoling who was standing aside, so she called someone to stop the sedan chair and said hello: "Princess Tongguang." Why don't you join in the fun? ”
"Ah...... Well. Lu Zhaoling replied a little vaguely.
Princess Yuquan sensed the perfunctory response in Lu Zhaoling's response, thought about it, and said in surprise: "Could it be that you are here to prepare for participating in the autumn hunt?" ”
“…… Be. Lu Zhaoling nodded.
"You...... With whom do you go? ”
Princess Yuquan's meaning is obvious, although Lu Zhaoling is the nominal daughter of Emperor Anping, there is no place for her in the previous royal autumn hunting, she is just a hostage of a small country after all. Even if you want to go, you can only be with the identity of a royal child.
Lu Zhaoling originally wanted to talk about the second prince, but it happened that Bai Yu didn't come today, and Shen Fengjiu said something before, "The second prince can't help you", which made Lu Zhaoling feel a little uneasy, and he couldn't answer Princess Yuquan's question for a while.
"Come with me." Unexpectedly, Shen Fengjiu, who was beside Lu Zhaoling, suddenly said calmly.
"You?"
Princess Yuquan looked at Shen Fengjiu in surprise, and suddenly said, "Oh, you are the Shen Gongzi who saved the third brother." ”
"Coming with you?" Lu Zhaoling was still surprised by Shen Fengjiu's reply.
"Your Majesty invited me." Shen Fengjiu said lightly.
"Father seems to be quite face-saving for you. Who are you? Princess Yuquan looked at Shen Fengjiu with interest.
"A grass people."
"The appearance is beautiful, the temperament is pure, and the palace likes it." Princess Yuquan was very satisfied with this Shen Gongzi.
I have long heard that Princess Yuquan has an uninhibited style and likes men......
Lu Zhaoling saw it today.
"How long have you been in the palace? Didn't the third brother have been cured a long time ago, and my father still asked you to stay in the palace, what are you going to do? Princess Yuquan turned to Shen Fengjiu and asked, "Where do you live now?" ”
The last question made Lu Zhaoling's scalp tingle.
"Langhuan Palace." Shen Fengjiu only answered this question.
"Oh?" Princess Yuquan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lu Zhaoling, "...... you and Princess Tongguang?" ”
"Hmm." Shen Fengjiu nodded.
Wait a minute...... What "um" do you "um"?! Do you know what Princess Yuquan meant by asking?!
Lu Zhaoling gasped, and hurriedly explained in a panic: "No, no, Princess Yuquan, I have nothing with Shen Gongzi." ”
"Heh, I didn't expect you to be funny, Princess Tongguang." Princess Yuquan smiled meaningfully.
"I ......" Lu Zhaoling was speechless.
"It's a pity. Since there is a master, this palace is not a robber, it's just that. Princess Yuquan waved her hand, and a group of people left in a majestic manner.
Lu Zhaoling glared at Shen Fengjiu angrily, eager to kick him, but the latter was obviously indifferent to this anger.
"You, what are you talking nonsense!" Lu Zhaoling said angrily.
"I live in Langhuan Palace, I know you, where is the nonsense?" Shen Fengjiu asked rhetorically.
"......" Lu Zhaoling was speechless for a while.
Although that's right...... But it can be misleading.
Shen Fengjiu often looks impersonal, cold and arrogant. But Lu Zhaoling always felt as if he was being teased.
I really don't understand or pretend not to understand.。。
Lu Zhaoling said angrily in his heart.
