Chapter Ninety-Four: Selfishness and Coldness
Father's intention, in the final analysis, is to use her.
Bai Jing was silent for a long time.
"Quiet?" Bai Sheng observed her expression and called softly.
"Father is in trouble in the court, right?"
Her gaze is too sharp, and she has the feeling that she has seen through people's hearts and made it impossible for people to hide.
Finally, Bai Sheng stumbled and sighed: "That's the case, isn't this the New Year coming soon, the imperial court plans to pick four Qincha to send rewards to the fiefdom for the sake of showing the grace of heaven." ”
Bai Jinghao didn't seem to understand the deep meaning, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, is my father going to take on this heavy responsibility?" ”
"You don't understand!" Bai Sheng frowned and said: "Those vassal kings are powerful, and they are used to being kings in their fiefdoms, where would they want the people of the court to point fingers in the past?"
What's more, the fiefdom is far away, and any situation on the road is possible, and those who have always been rewarded for the past have secretly received the task of secretly investigating the situation of the fiefdom, and few can come back alive! ”
He finally voiced his fears.
"Father, you are a close confidant of Your Majesty, and you are in an important position, it is impossible for the court to send you out."
Bai Jinghao did not panic, and comforted: "Don't be afraid. ”
"But Your Majesty handed over the matter of drafting the candidate for the Qin Dispatch to the prince of Yunxi."
Bai Jinghao didn't understand it even more: "This western realm is also one of the fiefdoms for investigation, doesn't the emperor have any scruples?" ”
"The emperor loves the prince, and he has been frequently reused recently, so it may be necessary to use this to examine the prince's heartfelt feelings for him."
"Father thinks that the prince of Yunxi will be willing to let you go?"
That's what Bai Sheng meant, "The situation in the Western Realm is different from that of other fiefdoms, the King of Yunxi has no real power, and many things are controlled by the second uncle of the Prince of Yunxi.
This was originally a muddy water, and the imperial court used to turn a blind eye, but this time the prince of Yunxi decided to invite the Qin messenger to enter the imperial study and talk with His Majesty for a long time. Your second brother told me that the prince intends to choose a minister who plays an important role in the court to go over and treat his second uncle well......"
"The prince of Yunxi has already reported to his father?"
Bai Sheng shook his head, got up and took two steps with his hands in his hands, "I haven't asked yet, I just hope that the prince of Yunxi can change the candidate."
Quiet, you said how chaotic it is in Yunxi! The second prince of Yunxi is a ruthless man who does not miss family affection, if his father goes to the west, find out what offended the second prince, and offend the prince of Yunxi if he doesn't find out anything. ”
He was really troubled, "If I really go, I don't know if I will be able to come back." ”
"Father, you are a court scholar, even if you really go on an envoy, it will not be so serious, unlike others."
Bai Sheng saw her breezy expression, a little depressed, "Be quiet, if something happens to your father, there will be no hope for our Bai Mansion." ”
He felt that Bai Jing didn't care about himself, so he used this statement.
Bai Jing heard this, turned sideways and hid the chill in his eyes, "For this kind of thing, my father and I might as well discuss it with my wife, and let the Hou Mansion find a way to come forward, maybe we can avoid this incident." ”
"What can the Qin family do? Can this Yunxi Royal Mansion have today, and the prince of Yunxi has been trapped in the capital for so many years, isn't it all affected by the original incident? The people of the Yun family, it's too late to hate the queen, can they give face to the relatives of the East Palace? ”
"Then can the prince of Yunxi still give me the face of a boudoir girl?"
"Will give!" Bai Sheng's tone was affirmative, "Even if the prince of Yunxi doesn't care what you say, doesn't he care about the words of the Nine Kings?" ”
This was the purpose of him looking for Bai Jinghao to meet the Nine Kings.
Bai Jinghao suddenly looked at him fixedly, and said very seriously: "Father, you asked my unmarried daughter to intercede with the Nine Kings, why do you think the Nine Kings want to give me this favor?"
If I were to whisper down to him, do you know what it means? ”
Bai Sheng was a little weak when asked, and quickly avoided looking at each other.
Of course he does.
What is it that is most useful to men and women, women begging him?
"Father, you know that if I go, everything will be out of my will. Do you still want me to go? ”
"Then, can't the father really go to the West just like that?"
Bai Sheng asked rhetorically: "Can you bear to watch your father enter the tiger's den in Yunxi?" ”
"Don't you want to go, just sacrifice your daughter?"
Bai Jinghao closed her eyes, angry and disappointed, and couldn't help but ask: "I know that my father didn't love me since I was a child, it doesn't matter if you are indifferent to me or not, it's okay if you let me be treated poorly at home." But I'm also your daughter, haven't you thought about my future and future in the slightest? ”
As she spoke, she walked over and picked up the piece of Shen's jade pendant that she had just handed over, and continued, "You want me to quit the Shen family in order to use me elsewhere, right?" You don't care if my aunt hurt my mother, and it doesn't matter what kind of scene I will face if I marry into the Shen family, you only care about your own official career! Father, they are all your daughters, you can plan for the marriage of the second sister, you can love the third sister like that, why can I sacrifice casually? ”
She asked, her eyes reddened, and she said stubbornly, "I won't go." ”
"If you don't go, you have to go!"
Originally, Bai Sheng was really a little ashamed to be asked by her, but when she heard the last sentence that she wouldn't go, her anger rubbed directly into her heart.
He said with a serious face: "I'll raise you, everything you have now is given to you by the Bai family, and you have the responsibility to pay for this family." Do you think you can disobey me by making friends with the county lord of the Guogong Mansion?
I tell you, if something happens to my father, the whole mansion will not be happy. It's you, can you still have the current scenery? Being a decent housekeeper in Shangshu Mansion, isn't it all the kindness I gave you? ”
Hearing these words, Bai Jing couldn't help but sneer, looked at him deliberately and said, "Then I still have the marriage of the Shen family." Uncle Shen is a promise, will he still regret his marriage? Besides, Cousin Shikai was very good to me, and I was naturally a young lady in the past. ”
"Smack!"
Bai Sheng slapped him directly and said angrily: "Presumptuous! Who taught you the rules of such disobedience to your father? No wonder I said that you look like you're out of the picture, and you have already thought of a way out.
For a daughter like you, even if she gets married, she won't miss the good of her family in the future! If it is really a good daughter I raised, she is selfish and cold, and she doesn't remember the grace of parenting at all, rather than letting you go to harm other families, it is better not to have you as a daughter, and to save the face of our Bai family in the future! ”
Bai Jinghao's head was tilted, and her cheeks were hot and painful.
Hearing these words, she raised her eyes and asked, "Does my father regret giving birth to me?" Since you regret it, why did you force my mother to come back with you in the first place? ”
"You, you shut up!" Bai Sheng glared at her.
"If you don't bring my mother back, how can you have a daughter like me who disobeys you? I shouldn't have been born, without me, I wouldn't be popular with you today. ”
