170 Cup after cup

Yang Mei was a little worried: "This Miss Xia, it won't be that she wants to escape with her, just leave......

Bai Poria nodded and said, "Very likely, um!" I kind of appreciate her now. ”

"Wouldn't it? Do you admire her? Don't talk about what she did to you before, just say that this time, she left her parents and family and ran away without saying a word, did you ever think that it would affect other people? Ginkgo scoffed.

Her parents' family didn't think about her feelings, and they wanted her to marry an old man as a stepmother. And if this marriage really happens, I'm afraid the situation in her family will be even worse. I'm just curious, what can she do, a daughter who can't pick her shoulders or hands, when she runs out, it's not strange that she was accidentally trafficked. Bai Poria picked up a piece of almond crisp and swallowed it whole, without the slightest ladylike image, and she sighed secretly when she saw Yangmei.

However, about Xia Xinxin's marriage, they all felt that it was very inappropriate, and Bai Poria's words were not unreasonable, so they stopped talking, got up and packed up and went out to take the car back to Ge Lao's Mansion.

The days passed silently for a few days, because of the queen's new funeral, the Lantern Festival was also extraordinarily deserted, the three members of the Bai family returned to the Zhongguo Mansion at noon on the Lantern Festival day to have a reunion dinner with Lin Pingzi and others, and went back to the old mansion to eat another meal in the evening, and then went to rest after eating the Lantern Festival early.

On the morning of the sixteenth, the old white pavilion went out to the early court, dispersed the dynasty and was summoned by the emperor alone, and returned to the old mansion in the evening, in addition to a bunch of military affairs, but also brought back a small news, Deng Wenhua Uncle Deng has privately refused the marriage of the Xia family, it is said that the reason is that he is old and does not want to delay the Xia family's Miss Yunyun.

Regarding the situation of the Xia family, Bai Changshan once sent someone to remind him, he is also a smart person, although the young and talented woman is lovely, but compared to his own career, it is not worth anything.

Deng Wenhua is the person brought up by Bai Changshan, Bai Changshan's age is there, it is impossible to occupy the position of the first assistant for many years, and the words have already revealed the meaning of returning to his hometown to retire for the rest of his life, he sees that he is only one step away from becoming a supreme minister, how can he take risks for a woman at this time and lose his sacred heart?

When Yang Mei and Bai Guo heard the news, they both said, "It seems that Miss Xia is a false alarm." ”

"I'm afraid that the Xia family won't give up, and there will be the next ......," Bai Poria shrugged.

Who Xia Xinxin marries, whether she marries well or not, has nothing to do with the Bai family, so Bai Poria has heard it, but the other news that Bai Changshan brought back made her can't help but gloat and laugh three times.

Tiantongguo sent envoys to negotiate peace, hoping to end the border war between the two countries and marry the princess of Qi as their crown princess.

The border of Tiantong country is located in the northeast of Qi country, facing the sea on one side, the mountains and mountains on the other, and a plain in the middle, but because the climate is cold, the soil is poor, and the planting yield is very small, many people rely on hunting and grazing to make a living, which is very difficult, but it has also formed a strong folk customs.

Since the previous dynasties, the Tiantong Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom have been at war and peace, and disputes have continued.

This time, Tiantongguo took the initiative to negotiate peace, it is said that it was because of the internal strife between several major forces in the country, and the emperor and the crown prince of Tiantongguo felt that the situation was serious, and hoped to solve the border war first, and then mobilize troops to solve the domestic dispute behind closed doors.

Marrying the princess of Qi State, firstly, he hopes to stabilize the relationship between the two countries in a peaceful way, and secondly, he intends to take advantage of the momentum of Qi State to increase the bargaining chips of the crown prince to ascend the throne.

The Qi country has just experienced the flood of the Ning'an River, which has inspired victims in many parts of the country, plus a civil strife on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is also a time of anxiety, and it is naturally good luck to be able to temporarily stop war with Tiantongguo.

When both sides are happy to see it, the envoys of Tiantongguo have not yet arrived in the capital, and the selection of relatives on the side of Qi is basically finalized, this princess is none other than the twelve princesses from Queen Xia!

After Yang Heng took the five horses and Li Yunxin to visit the Zhongguo Mansion, Bai Poria asked Fang Hai to prepare medicine and send it, Li Yunxin took it according to the instructions, and suddenly fell ill that night, with red bumps and chloasma all over his body, and within two days, he changed from a beautiful son to a few ugly men in the capital, and he was lying in bed to die, and he couldn't take care of himself at all.

Xia Guiren and the Twelve Princesses in the palace even invited a few imperial doctors to treat him, and they all came back and just shook their heads and said they were not sure, they also suspected that Li Yunxin was pretending to be sick, but there was no substantial evidence, the Twelve Princesses specially sent their cronies and eunuchs to accompany the eunuchs to the Li Mansion to see, the eunuch was shocked when he saw Li Yunxin's appearance, and came back to cheer and tell him about his terrible situation, the Twelve Princesses couldn't, so they had to beg Xia Guiren to choose another son-in-law for her as soon as possible.

Of course, the best candidate in the capital now is the new Zhongguo Gong Lin Pingzi, but Princess Antai said to the emperor in front, and the emperor didn't want the newly promoted people around him to have anything to do with the Xia family, so he refused without thinking about it.

Before the twelfth princess had time to attack, a worse news came, the envoys of Tiantongguo would come to the capital in a few days to negotiate peace, and at the same time agree on the major event of intermarriage between the two countries, and the emperor's ideal and family choice turned out to be her!

This news made the twelve princesses crazy, but it made Bai Poria very happy, she was already very unhappy with this twelve princesses, but she didn't expect the report to come so quickly, it was really a happy thing!

Originally, she was still a little worried, afraid that these twelve princesses would rely on Lin Pingzi to live and scheming, so she could let go of her heart.

According to the rules of the Qi State, on the seventh day after the death of the queen, the women in the palace first held a worship ceremony, on the 17th, the women outside the palace to worship, and the coffin will be sent to the temple after the 27th, and then sent to the imperial tomb for burial on the second day.

The empress died on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the seventeenth day of the first month was the day when the foreign wife entered the palace to participate in the empress's funeral.

The two mothers and daughters had no feelings about the queen's death, but when they were in Beijing, they had to act according to the rules, so Mu Peilan changed into a plain suit and set off in a car before dawn, and went to the old mansion to pick up Bai Poria who was also dressed in plain clothes, and went into the palace together.

The funeral was still held in Huilan Palace, but the number of women who came to worship was much smaller than on the empress's birthday more than 20 days ago - some were involved in the rebellion of the eldest prince and some were killed or seriously injured on Chinese New Year's Eve, so they were exempted from entering the palace to worship.

Many people think of the excitement and shocking changes on the day of the queen's birthday, and their hearts are full of emotion, obviously it is a cluster of flowers, rich and unparalleled, who wants to die tragically in the palace on the day of his birthday, and his life's hopes will come to naught, and he will not even be able to save his life in a few days, and he will be burned to death in Ningyi Palace.

The identities of the women in the Huilan Palace are like a microcosm of the current court situation, mainly the family members of the backbone of the Bai family, and the Mao family is almost gone, and the original Xia family *** is also dim and withered, without the momentum of the past.

As soon as Mu Peilan's mother and daughter arrived, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, and all kinds of eyes full of envy, jealousy and hatred shot one after another, because it was at the queen's funeral, the wives did not dare to make noise and laugh, and it was inconvenient to walk around at will and talk to them, but many people had secretly moved their bodies to get closer to the two mothers and daughters.

There is no way, now the most popular official relatives in the capital are the two mothers and daughters in front of them, one is the eldest son and daughter-in-law of Bai Changshan, the first assistant of the cabinet, and the other is his only granddaughter.

Moreover, behind these two mothers and daughters, there are two big backers, Lu Ying and Lin Pingzi, two upstarts in the DPRK, who have made great contributions in quelling the Chinese New Year's Eve rebellion this time, one is in charge of the Royal Forest Army, the other is in charge of the household department, and it is said that they are also friendly with His Royal Highness the Prince's popular candidate, His Royal Highness.

With such a radiant background, which wife doesn't want to please?

Mu Peilan is a person who knows the depths, and has been acting more and more low-key recently, and on the grounds of taking care of her mother's illness, she politely declined many ladies' invitations to visit, and even Princess Antai only met once or twice.

Today's queen's funeral is unavoidable, she has already explained to Bai Poria in the car, try not to talk to these women, honestly practice etiquette and retreat when it is over.

Bai Poria is so happy that she doesn't have to smirk with others to socialize, so she naturally has no opinion.

The queen's coffin was parked in the middle of the Huilan Palace, because the queen's corpse was burned black and difficult to identify, and it would be purely disgusting for people to look at the remains, and there was a loss of national body, so the coffin lid was tightly closed and did not reveal half of the gaps.

Mu Peilan's two mothers and daughters walked to the front according to the instructions of the palace people to kneel down and cry, the two of them were of high grade, and the kneeling position was also very high, Bai Poria secretly looked around while walking, and unexpectedly saw Cui Zhenyi!

Cui Zhenyi also knelt in plain clothes among the women, and the embarrassing thing was that the people around her all thought she was a plague, and they couldn't wait to get as far away from her as possible. Cui Zhenyi had no expression on her face, but Bai Poria could still see her discomfort and shame at a glance.

She is Lu Ying's wife, but the Cui family wants to get close to the eldest prince, and it is no secret in the capital, the eldest prince has such a thing, the emperor took Lu Ying's face into consideration, and just gave Cui Zhenyi's brother a demotion, did not continue to investigate, and kept his life and official position, but it was impossible to think about what to do.

The most terrible thing is that Lu Ying has not set foot in the general's mansion for half a step since he was in the capital, and he has not even seen Cui Zhenyi's face, and this matter has also been rumored, and some people even spread the news that the emperor may assign a famous lady to Lu Ying as his wife.

In this way, everyone knows that Cui Zhenyi is not favored in front of Lu Ying, and even her status is about to be lost. In this case, who wants to be close to her?

Bai Poria took Cui Zhenyi's embarrassment and helplessness into her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh, this woman suffered by herself, what a complete cup!

She didn't expect that there would be more than one cup woman she saw today, and the other one would soon appear......
