Chapter 539: The Father Who Rebelled
There is no Bai Jinghong in the water prison, Bai Heran should have known about this matter a long time ago, right? But so far, I haven't seen her make any moves, and even the water prison is still guarding this secret, what are their plans? Bai Jinghong just ran away, didn't you look for it?
Although Concubine Kang doesn't like white crane dyeing, she doesn't like white Jinghong either. Although she has always been firmly on her brother's side, she absolutely agrees and cooperates with all her brother's decisions. But if Xiao Ye can give birth to a son in law for the Bai family, she is still willing to let Xiao Ye sit firmly in the position of the Bai family's housemother.
After all, she is also the daughter of the Bai family, and she also hopes that the Bai family's family business will be inherited by her own bloodline, instead of cheapening Bai Haochen and Bai Jinghong, who are brothers and sisters with foreign surnames.
Moreover, she actually preferred Xiao Ye's to sit in her grandmother's position, at least Xiao Ye's is just a concubine of the Ye family, and she still knows how to bow down and know how to be humble when facing her, Concubine Kang. In the past, the Daye clan was not so easy to get along, every time the two met, she, the master of the palace, seemed to have to look at each other's faces, and that arrogant look could make her angry for a long time.
But then again, since the defeat of the Daye clan, the Bai family has also declined. Her brother was suspended, Bai Jinghong was thrown into the water prison, and Bai Haochen also walked in the prison, and it was difficult to turn over. What to do? Could it be that she can't do anything just to see the decay of her mother's family?
Bai Mingzhu was very conflicted, but she also understood that she really couldn't do anything. Now that Bai Zhenzhen also has a marriage contract, and there is another daughter in the Guogong Mansion that no one can control, the situation is becoming more and more difficult to understand.
Seeing that Bai Mingzhu was thoughtful and not squeaked, Bai Xingyan could guess what she was thinking, but now was really not a good time to speak, so she could only divert the topic. Fortunately, this new topic was on his lips, and he looked at his sister and asked the doubts in his heart: "I see that your face seems to be much younger than before, not only are there fewer wrinkles, but even your complexion is more ruddy." I was almost scared to death when I saw the queen mother in Zhaoren Palace just now, is that really the queen mother in the past? How...... How do you seem to have returned to ten years all of a sudden...... No, it's twenty years, and it seems like I've gone back to twenty years ago. What's going on here? ”
When Bai Mingzhu heard her brother say this, she subconsciously stroked her face, and her face finally eased a lot.
She looked at Bai Heran and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, these are all the credits of Ah Ran, and it is her dedication of good rouge gouache that makes our harem concubines have a good look." As for the Queen Mother...... The queen is the middle palace, so she naturally deserves the best. ”
Bai Xingyan was a little fluttering today, because he felt that he was on the same front as this daughter, and he would listen to this daughter in everything in the future, so when he was a daughter, he should also give his father some face in other aspects.
It's like now, listening to Concubine Kang's words, she shook her head again and again, "The queen is the middle palace and deserves the best, that's right." But you are also her aunt, and your own aunt naturally has to be different from others. Ahh He looked back at Bai Heran, "Ming'er will give you a copy of what you have offered to the queen, and this is your own aunt." ”
Bai Heran looked at Bai Xingyan like a fool, she especially wanted to go through it again at the moment, go back to the era when Bai Xingyan was the most ambitious, and see how people with this kind of brain made the Bai family squeeze into the court again, and see how people with this kind of brain became the backbone of the court step by step.
Maybe it's because the Ye family has been rubbing and grinding their brains all these years? Or maybe it's because you're getting older and your brain isn't as good as it used to be? She turned her head to think about this father, and didn't bother to reply to this for a while.
Bai Xingyan thought that she acquiesced if she didn't speak, he was very happy, and said to Concubine Kang happily: "Ming'er things will be sent in, although the emperor has no intention of harem now, but he can look comfortable with a better face." ”
Bai Mingzhu is a little expectant, after all, women care about their faces very much. The queen's face was too tempting for these women, and if she could regain her youth, she would be happy to let her lose all her wealth.
But she is more rational than Bai Xingyan, just looking at Bai Heran's attitude, she knows that this is impossible, and then thinking about that day in Zhaoren Palace, Bai Heran unceremoniously scolded Concubine Li in front of so many people, and her heart was even more cold.
"No, it's good to be in this palace." She persuaded her brother, "What's the use of being young, the emperor doesn't have us in his heart, he used to only have a concubine in his eyes, but now he only has the queen in his eyes, and we are just foils." ”
"Hey! What do you say, you are her aunt, and she should put you first. ”
Bai Heran couldn't listen anymore, "Father, it's time to leave the palace." After speaking, he saluted Concubine Kang, "It's not early, my father is a minister, it's not good to stay in the harem, and I hope Concubine Kang will forgive me." ”
"Ah Ran, you ......"
"What am I?" She frowned, "You want to be like the queen mother, are you trying to trap your aunt?" Is it that the Bai family is having a hard time, and they also want to harm the relatives in the palace? Is this called being in trouble? ”
Bai Xingyan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the disgust seeping out of Bai Heran's eyes, and then he realized that he was annoying.
But this made him lose face, and he was beaten by his daughter in front of his sister, where did this make his face go?
He said that he would listen to her for everything in the future, but when he was a daughter, he didn't even give this face, could it be that this situation would be like this in the future? Everywhere he goes, he's subject to her? Is it necessary to ask for instructions on how many dishes there should be when you go home for dinner?
Bai Xingyan felt uncomfortable, even if it was the Ye family, he had never given him face like this, even if it was the former Da Ye family, at least in front of people, he was respected. This white crane dye didn't give him face regardless of people, he just listened to her for this kind of daughter, what good can he get in the future? If the Ye family will not be able to tolerate him in the end, will Bai Heran definitely be able to tolerate him?
If he killed her own brother, could it be that this daughter is just a use of him now, and if he finishes using it, he will get rid of it quickly? Will she not be merciless in avenging her brother?
The more Bai Xingyan thought about it, the cooler his heart became, and gradually, the eyes that looked at this daughter were not right.
Bai Mingzhu saw some signs, but after all, she didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, and she just saw that the communication between her brother and this niece was not normal, and she was suspicious, but she didn't want to ask anything.
My brother was embarrassed, so she had to find her brother under the stairs by herself, so she said: "There is still something to do when I go back to the palace, it's not early, my brother should get out of the palace quickly!" When I went home, I asked my mother for the palace, and I said that the palace missed her very much. ”
Bai Xingyan didn't hear what Concubine Kang said clearly, so he only nodded vaguely and watched Concubine Kang's sedan drive away.
"Let's go, get out of the palace." Bai Heran said this lightly, and then walked in front of himself, ignoring the people behind him.
Bai Xingyan followed behind, his mind kept spinning, and the more he wandered, the more he felt that he was really a little anxious just now.
His impatience is not about asking Bai Mingzhu for rouge gouache, his so-called impatience refers to the fact that he is actually hot-headed, and he said so quickly that he wants to move closer to Bai Heran, thus betraying the alliance for so many years.
Of course, what Bai Heran said also makes sense, what happened back then is likely to be a game done by the other party.
But even if it is a bureau, apart from letting him kill a sister-in-law, what other harm is there for him? He said in vain that he was still in high spirits after more than ten years. A wife like Daye's family earned him enough face, so that he would be looked down upon wherever he went, and he could even have a place in General Guo's mansion.
And the reason why all this changed later, it was not the Ye family's fault, but because the white crane was dyed back!
All the nightmares start with the return of the white crane dye, what does it have to do with the others? The Ye family didn't feel sorry for him!
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he even began to overturn the things he had discussed with Hakuzuru little by little.
People are like this, they are afraid of opening their mouths for everything, and once they open their mouths, they will be like a flood and out of control.
Previously, under Bai Xingyan's analysis of Bai Heran, he had strong doubts and resistance to the Ye family. But at this time, just because he was slapped in the face in front of Bai Mingzhu, he began to abandon all his previous conjectures and decisions, and began to be annoyed that he promised Bai Heran too quickly.
He saw this little bit of caution in his eyes, and he really lost confidence in this father more and more in his heart.
On the contrary, the mind is so weak, this is something that only a three-year-old child can get. A person in his forties has the same IQ as a three-year-old? So the question comes back to it, how did this IQ return to the court in the first place? Could it be that the overall IQ of the officials in the Eastern Qin Dynasty was not very good?
She thought of the princes she was familiar with, and felt that it was not necessarily the case, at least the four princes, the nine princes, and the ten princes still had quite brains. and Leng Ruonan's father's IQ should not be low, otherwise he would not have handled things so well at the palace banquet that day, pushed the Wu family, and then picked up his own daughter.
She couldn't see through it anymore, Bai Heran got into her carriage, ignored Bai Xingyan who was greeting her outside, only let out a long sigh, and then leaned back in the carriage to recuperate.
Bai Zhenzhen had been sitting in the car waiting for her, and when she saw her come back, she was not in a good state, and she thought about it in her heart, thinking that it must be her father who was confronting Concubine Li Xian, and did not look at his daughter, which made her sister sad.
She was angry, and as soon as she lifted the curtain of the car, she shouted at Bai Xingyan, who was heading to the other end of her carriage: "Are you bullying my sister?" Did you join up with that virtuous concubine and turn your elbow outward? Father, the Fifth Highness wants your daughter's life, and if you don't stand firm at this time, you will make people laugh. ”
Bai Xingyan's face was not good, but on this topic, he still had an answer - "On the contrary, for the father, he advocates that his life should be paid for his life, and his blood debt should be repaid by blood." For this reason, I also had a big fight with Concubine Xian, I don't believe you asked your sister! ”
Bai Zhenzhen's eyebrows twisted, a little confused......
