Although Emperor Wu and Bai Shuangshuang had only met for the second time, he also knew that this woman had a delicate heart, and her wisdom and bearing were not known to be higher than her peers. But such a woman, her status is not high, if she is the daughter of an official above the third grade, it is not impossible for her son to marry into the mansion.

What's more, Bai Shuangshuang is not very old, but there are many men who are entangled with her side, first married the second young master of the Cheng family, and now has something to do with the crown prince Li Yuanyi and the prince Li Yuanbo, in other words, anyone will suspect that this woman has the heart to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wu frowned slightly and said: "I have also heard about you and Yuan Yi Yuanbo, the prince and you have played in front of the palace, and it is normal for people to appreciate you, but Lord Jue, how did you climb it?" ”

The word climbing is too heavy for Baishuangshuang, so Baishuangshuang immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "If you go back to the emperor, the people's daughter and the prince have only seen each other a few times, and they have no heart to climb." Because the prince witnessed the rescue of the tablet in the fire of the people's daughter, and then met again at the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Cheng family, he asked a few words, and then the chance encounter in the Jade Pavilion, His Royal Highness the Prince also knew. ”

Bai Shuangshuang's words were half-true and half-false, so that Emperor Wu didn't know whether to believe it for a while, especially when Bai Shuangshuang also mentioned the Jade Pavilion, Li Yuanyi was pulling the second young master of the Cheng family to invest in the Jade Pavilion, and he didn't allow anyone to mention it anymore, but at that time, Bai Shuangshuang still had a marriage contract with the second young master of the Cheng family, and went to the Jade Pavilion to find Cheng Ruohan, and met Li Yuanyi and Li Yuanbo by chance, but it is possible.

Bai Mingzhu watched coldly from the sidelines, sneering in her heart, in her heart, Bai Shuangshuang was a fox charmer, hooking men upside down, and now even the emperor can't look at it, but it helped her out of her bad breath.

Emperor Wu squinted slightly, and asked again, "Do you think there are so many coincidences in this world?" After asking, without waiting for Bai Shuangshuang to answer, he said: "Bai Shuangshuang, I know that you are a smart woman, and I also admire you, but people, you must know how to love yourself before you can win people's respect." Otherwise, with some cleverness, I'm afraid there won't be any good results. ”

Bai Shuangshuang knew that Emperor Wu had some prejudices against herself, and if she continued to explain, it would only cause Emperor Wu to be angry, so Bai Shuangshuang had to respond: "Thank you for the emperor's guidance, the people should change if they have, and encourage them if they don't." ”

Just as Emperor Wu was about to say something, he heard the attendant outside the palace preach again: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" Lord Jue has arrived! ”

When Bai Shuangshuang heard this, she closed her eyes a little helplessly. She has just eliminated Emperor Wu's dissatisfaction, these two people came over at this stall, didn't it make Emperor Wu misunderstand again?

Sure enough, as soon as Emperor Wu heard the summons outside the palace, his heart was immediately displeased, and he said to the lower white frost of the whole person: "This prince and the prince have not appeared in and out of the same grand occasion for a long time, and now for your white frost, they have come to this Chuxiu Palace together." Hmph, pass! ”

The white frost head bowed low, and after a while, two familiar male voices were heard in the hall: "Erchen asks for peace for his father and the emperor, and for the concubine Niangniang." ”

Bai Mingzhu's pretentious voice also appeared at the right time: "The folk girl greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the prince Jue." ”

According to the number of etiquette, Bai Shuangshuang should also give Li Yuanyi and Li Yuanbo a gift now, but it just so happens that the current atmosphere is so sensitive, and Bai Shuang is not reckless.

"Get up." Emperor Wu's voice was low, but he hid his emotions well, so that people couldn't hear his joy and anger. At the same time, he said in the direction of the white frost: "It's all up." ”

Hearing this, Bai Shuangshuang stood up from the ground unhurriedly, and he couldn't see anything unusual on his face, which made Emperor Wu, who originally didn't want Li Yuanbo and Li Yuanyi to know what had just happened, secretly praised Bai Shuangshuang for being sensible.

Emperor Wu rubbed the fingers of Huang Longyu on his thumb with the fingers of his right hand, and asked the two sons of his own who were standing not far away, as if unintentionally: "What are you two doing in this Chuxiu Palace at this time?" ”

Li Yuanyi took the lead in waving his hand and replied: "I wanted to discuss with my father about the misappropriation of the military salary of the Jiangxi Navy Division, but I heard that my father was playing chess with the concubine Niangniang in Chuxiu Palace, so I came over. I met with my fifth brother just by chance on the way here. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Wu took the teacup handed over by Concubine Huagui, took the tea lid with an expressionless face and pushed the tea foam and said: "Regarding the embezzlement of the military salary of the Jiangxi Navy Division, this morning, didn't I already send the inspector to investigate the imperial history?" ”

"Uh......" Li Yuanyi paused for a moment, as if he didn't think of what to say next.

Emperor Wu raised his eyes and glanced at him, then turned his gaze to Li Yuanbo, who was on the side like no one else, and asked gracefully: "The prince is for the Jiangxi water master, why are you?" ”

Only then did Li Yuanbo wave his hand and replied: "Erchen is also for the Jiangxi Water Master." ”

"Huh." Emperor Wu chuckled and shook his head, stopped drinking the tea, held it in his hand, and said to Li Yuanyi and Li Yuanbo: "You two have chased me to this Chuxiu Palace for the sake of the Jiangxi Navy, what did the early dynasty bring to you?" Standing there distracted? ”

Li Yuanbo said unhurriedly: "Father, the son just learned that there is still an inside story about the Jiangxi Navy, because of the Yellow River flood a few months ago, the local granary failed to release grain in time, and the Admiral of the Navy Division embezzled the military rations without authorization. ”

When Li Yuanyi heard this, he immediately waved his hand and continued: "This matter is not trivial, so the sons and daughters will come to Chuxiu Palace to report to their father." ”

Every provincial capital will have a granary for natural disasters in case of emergency, and if there is a flood, the granary is not able to hold grain, which is not much better than embezzling military salaries.

When Emperor Wu heard this, he slammed the teacup on the ground, startling the white frost, and he said angrily: "I have been rectifying corrupt officials and corrupt officials every year, but every year I will make trouble with these things!" Is the Admiral of the Navy Master in a bad brain? If you find something different in the granary, why don't you report it?! You dare to open an official warehouse to hide it, you are tired of it?! ”

Li Yuanyi didn't know that there was such a thing, but he just heard Li Yuanbo say so, so he just said, and now Emperor Wu was furious, Li Yuanyi could only quickly appease: "Father, please calm your anger, Jiangxi is not short from the imperial capital, and it will take more than a month to go back and forth at the earliest. ”

Whether it is true or not, Emperor Wu already knew it in his heart, but he was afraid that this matter was not only true, but the people involved were also people who could not be provoked by the Admiral of the Navy.

Emperor Wu snorted coldly and asked Li Yuanbo: "No one in the court knows about this matter, how did you know about it?" ”
