Chapter 56
As soon as Bai Zi heard Bai Jugao say these things, he was slightly stunned in his heart, his beautiful eyes looked at the warm water bag in his hand, his fingers gently rubbed on the dragon pattern on it, and asked rhetorically, "So what?"
"Han Zhong is the second prince who is pregnant with the king." Bai Jugao explained: "The emperor has ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, and maybe, it can be found out to King Huai."
Bai Zi's eyes rolled: "Oh?" But he knew in his heart that Bai Jugao was worried that this matter would implicate the Taiwei Mansion, so he said slowly: "What is Daddy worried about?"
Bai Jugao was full of sorrow: "The incident you did before, you offended His Royal Highness the Prince, and when the time comes, I am only afraid that King Huai will lose power, and the prince will be dominant, and he will remember our Baifu."
When Bai heard this, he smiled at Bai Jugao and said firmly: "Daddy, no."
Bai Jugao: "But Daddy can't rest assured." He sighed and said to Bai Zi: "You said that you should have discussed this matter with me first, but now, it makes me hurt my head." He pushed Bai himself to the soft couch, and Leshan made two cups of tea for the two of them.
Bai Zi listened to his words, lowered his head and smiled, the hands of those warm water bags rubbed the golden silk dragon pattern on his head, and said casually: "Daddy, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dominant, he will definitely not miss our Taiwei Mansion."
Bai Jugao: "Why?"
Bai Zi: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to consolidate his own power, he will never do it at this time, and he will not use this to face our Taiwei Mansion, after all," her finger lightly tapped on the table, playing with taste: "This matter, the evidence is insufficient."
"So, Daddy is worried. Perhaps, before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's family is dominant, our emperor will draw one more person out to share the situation equally. ”
Bai Jugao was slightly puzzled, and a little curious: "How do you say this?"
Bai Zi: "Daddy thinks, if the emperor really wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to sit firmly in the position of the East Palace, why did he deliberately turn a blind eye to make the power of the second prince bigger?!" Her head moved closer to Bai Jugao's end, put one hand next to her cheek, and pretended to be mysterious: "Your Majesty, what I care about most is not who sits in the East Palace, but the old man cares about ......."
"Can he sit on the throne by himself!"
Bai Jugao was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly said in a harsh voice: "Aunt Yuan, you can't say this at will!"
Bai Zi listened to his reprimand, the childish Nunu mouth, retracted his neck, picked up the teacup, blew on the tea, and said slowly: "What Xing'er said is true, to be honest, the emperor hurts the most is King Zhen, if he really wants to choose the prince, then why doesn't he choose King Zhen, who is talented, strategic and virtuous?!" She put down the teacup slightly, staring at which place, and continued: "Besides, is it possible that King Cheng Zhen really doesn't have this intention?" As the emperor's most beloved son, can he really watch the current crown prince sit on the throne calmly and press on his head? ! King Zhen didn't say it on the surface, but he didn't know what to think in his heart! ”
Bai Jugao was shocked when he heard this, but he had never heard these remarks, but he neither agreed with Bai Zi's words, nor could he refute Bai Zi's views, and people's hearts were separated from each other. He had to frown and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the eldest prince."
Bai raised his eyebrows and compromised: "Okay." Bringing the teacup in his hand close to his mouth, he took a sip of hot tea. Anyway, her point of view is difficult for Bai Jugao to accept, so it is better to stop there, but it seems that she is as normal as a woman from an ordinary official family.
Bai Jugao looked at the appearance of his daughter, sighed slightly in his heart, picked up the big red robe in front of him and took a sip, he didn't know when his daughter had such a heart.
Bai Jugao put the teacup on the table, thought for a while, and asked Bai himself, "Aunt Yuan, how are you studying lately?"
Bai Zi's hand holding the teacup paused, left his mouth, put the teacup on the table, raised his head slightly and asked, "Father...... How did I learn from Mr. Su? ”
Bai Jugao nodded: "Yes." He smiled and smiled rather happily: "Mr. Su praised you in front of me yesterday, saying that you are the smartest student he has ever met, and you are also the most perceptive student. His students all heard of your name, and they all said that Taiwei Bai Jugao had a powerful daughter, and Mr. Su praised him, and they all said that he would like to have a chance to learn from you. ”
Bai Zi exclaimed slightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Su praised me in front of others?"
At this time, Zhan Zhen opened his mouth and said, "However, don't do something you don't want to do just for your grandmother's happiness." He paused and said, "Grandfather knows that there are many daughters of dignitaries and nobles in Yuanjing City who have taken a fancy to you, Xuan'er, you have to remember that our general's mansion does not need to please or attach itself to anyone, so don't think about weighing the pros and cons, you can be happy yourself." He looked at Zhan Yu, and the words behind him were almost word-for-word, hoping that he would follow his heart.
It's just that Zhan Yu has never heard his frizzy and stern grandfather say these words, he was a little shocked, but his heart was full of warmth, he smiled happily, nodded to Zhan Zhen, and said, "What grandfather said, Xuan'er will never forget."
Zhan Zhen nodded with satisfaction, reached out and patted him on the shoulder twice, his eyebrows and eyes were full of satisfaction for Zhan Xuan. Their war family has always been based on their own joy or not, if they are unhappy, they are married to a princess, and their lives are also sad.
Zhan Yu smiled, stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of chicken shreds with chopsticks for Mrs. Jiang and General Zhan, and the three members of the family finally finished the meal with their own hearts.
There is another place similar to the loneliness of the General's Mansion, Wutong Lane in Yuanjing City.
Originally, there was heavy snow in the year, and here, the heavy snow was like a huge white palm pressing down on this three-entry courtyard. This place is different from all over Yuanjing, there is no trace of New Year's flavor here, and even the human smell cannot be seen.
Song Yujing is the only one here, drinking alone in front of the portraits on the wall, the osmanthus wine is not strong, but it still falls down his throat like a sharp knife, which is both bitter and painful.
He looked at the four portraits on the front wall, suddenly knelt down, kowtowed heavily, the corners of his eyes were dry, but his back was lonely,
"Grandfather and grandmother, father and mother! Children are not filial! He was in agony, and the bitterness of his stomach welled up in his throat, and he sat down on the ground again, and took the bottle and poured it into his mouth, losing his usual elegant appearance, and the cold wind poured in from outside, leaving only a room of vicissitudes.
Mao Chen is outside, Mao Si is also outside, and Mao Shen has just returned from Jiangnan. More than half a month, Mao Shen has returned from Jiangnan, but he hesitated whether to go in to report. After all, the year of integrity is over, and the family is reunited, but this is the most painful moment for the master.
"Maoshen, come in."
Mao Shen paused and followed Song Yujing's words and went in.
"Master." Mao Shen lowered his head, not daring to look at Song Yujing's appearance sitting on the ground at this time.
