253 are all fools
After seeing the excitement, Bai Poria returned to Yihui Palace with the two county lords, Xuanlong and Yingluo, and Princess Antai also returned.
She changed into a dress and called Bai Poria to talk in the dormitory alone. She has a straightforward temperament, and only treats Bai Poria as her own daughter, and after saying a few words, she gets straight to the topic and asks about Bai Poria's feelings.
"Auntie heard that you like Gansui, have you ever thought that his temperament and character are suitable for spending a lifetime together? You just don't want to enter the palace, you don't like the emperor, and you should carefully consider your marriage candidates. "Princess Antai is really worried about Bai Poria.
Bai Poria reacted for a while, and then woke up that "the emperor" refers to Yang Heng, to be honest, although he watched his enthronement ceremony all the time, he couldn't adapt to his identity change for a while.
And the topic of Princess Antai made her very helpless, how could she explain it? She will be with Gan Sui precisely because she knows that he is not a good person.
Whether it is Yang Heng or Thorn Fruit Euonymus, or even Lu Ying, they are all very good to her, so she can't bear to make them sad, Yang Heng and Thorn Fruit Guardian Spear did not give any hope from the beginning, and for Lu Ying, they tried to turn the relationship between the two into a simple brother and sister.
For Gansui, there is no such concern at all - you make me heartbroken, and I also make you sad, just to the point!
And to be bad to a bad guy, at least the psychological burden is not so heavy.
Many people don't understand why she easily reconciles with Gan Sui regardless of her previous suspicions, and to put it bluntly, it's very simple, because she already intends to make him sad.
So she didn't tell him the fact that she was about to end her life, and she indulged his closeness like no one else, and enjoyed his care and please.
Her heart is very small, and she may not be willing to take revenge on someone who hurt her, but if this person is sent to the door, she will not be polite, and she will never do such a thing as revenge with virtue.
But none of this can be said to Princess Antai. Therefore, Bai Poria could only pretend to be mysterious: "Auntie, don't ask, it will be a few months, or a year and a half, and you will naturally know the answer." She wasn't sure if her parents would hide the news of her death for the time being, so as not to irritate her grandfather, who had twice experienced the tragedy of a white-headed man sending a black-headed person.
Princess Antai glared at her and said, "You will be eighteen years old soon, and the marriage should not be delayed any longer." ”
Bai Poria smiled very scoundrelly: "I know, Auntie is as verbose as my mother!" ”
Princess Antai knew that she couldn't get her words, so she had to give up for the time being, and said instead: "Yingluo is married on August 16, you shouldn't have left yet, remember to come and see her off." You don't like to stay in the capital, I'm left alone, and it's very difficult to find someone to talk to. ”
Mu Peilan discussed with Bai Chou that Bai Changshan should be able to settle down in the capital at the end of this month, and then they would return to Baili Mountain under the pretext of returning to Baili Mountain, lest Bai Poria would not be able to hide from Bai Changshan if there was anything.
Bai Changshan and Princess Antai were very puzzled, just thinking that their family could not adapt to the life in the capital, and they often complained in their words, but they were helpless.
Fortunately, Bai Chou has no official position, no position and no reputation, otherwise this alone would be pointed at his nose and scolded for being unfilial.
Bai Poria missed Xuanlong's wedding, and was a little regretful, so she agreed to the next bite.
Today is tired of the day, Bai Poria washed and slept early, woke up and was already three poles in the morning, got up to clean up and called Bai Guo to go to Princess Antai to leave the palace.
Xuan Long and Yingluo are also planning to go back to their respective homes, one already has a husband's family, and the other is about to get married, so it is inconvenient to stay in the palace for a long time, so they happen to go with Bai Poria.
The four women of all sizes said a few words of gossip, and suddenly heard a loud report from the eunuch in front of them: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
When Princess Antai's three mothers and daughters heard this, their eyes involuntarily fell on Bai Poria.
Bai Poria feels very innocent, what does it matter to her!
Calculating the time, Yang Heng should have just made the early dynasty, and on the first day of his new emperor's accession to the throne, shouldn't he squat in the imperial study to show the demeanor of a virtuous monarch who works hard and forgets to sleep and eat? Fortunately, he hasn't officially accepted the concubine yet, otherwise the behavior of going straight to the harem without stopping in the early days will be really ugly enough.
Yang Heng's court clothes had been changed, and he was dressed in an apricot-colored four-group dragon round-neck regular suit, followed by a large number of eunuchs, palace maids and guards, and strode into the Yihui Palace.
Bai Poria followed Xuanlong and Yingluo to get up and salute, but Yang Heng didn't wait for them to bend down and said aloud: "It's all my own family, don't be polite." ”
Bai Poria is embarrassed, Xuan Long and Yingluo are his cousins, so it's okay to say, what kind of family member is she and him!
Yang Heng waved his hand to let the large string of "tails" behind him stay outside the hall, and deliberately walked in front of Bai Poria and chuckled: "When it comes to blood, you are actually my cousin." His strange expression just now was completely in his eyes.
That's just as well! Her grandfather and Yang Heng's grandfather are cousins, but her grandfather is an illegitimate child of the outer family and has not been recorded in the family tree.
Yang Heng is enough, it is an honor to be a relative of the emperor, and the benefits are estimated to be a lot, but when she thought that she was also a relative of Gan Sui, she felt a tingling scalp.
The ambiguous eyes of Xuan Long and Yingluo swept back and forth on the two of them, even if the white poria skin was thick, she couldn't help but be a little annoyed and angry, and raised her head and glared at the two sisters fiercely.
Princess Antai smiled and said, "The emperor has worked hard today, and he hasn't had lunch yet." ”
"I'm going to invite my aunt to join me, and a few cousins will come along." Yang Heng accepted the opportunity sent by Princess Antai very smoothly.
In this case, Bai Poria, one of the "cousins", naturally did not say that she was leaving, so she was naturally taken to accompany the emperor to dinner.
The dining place was chosen in the side hall of Yang Heng's dormitory, dozens of eunuchs and palace maids waited on the side, and the dining environment was extremely elegant and quiet, except for the occasional light touch of cups and plates, it was so quiet that no sound could be heard.
Yang Heng and Princess Antai sat at the same table, and Bai Poria and the other three opened another seat next to them. There are a lot of rules for sharing a table with the emperor, and sitting separately like this also wants to make it easier for Bai Poria and them.
But no matter how easy it is, it is also in the emperor's bedroom, the place with the highest etiquette specifications in the entire Qi Kingdom.
Not to mention that Xuan Long and Ying Luo unconsciously straightened their backs, looking at their noses and noses with a dignified image of a lady and noblewoman, even Bai Poria had to put away her usual lazy style and sit beside the desk in a proper manner.
On such an occasion, Yang Heng and Princess Antai's mother and daughter would never take it to heart, but letting the eunuchs and palace maids spread it would inevitably make the grandfather and parents lose face.
This kind of banquet is a real meal to open her mouth, where Bai Poria's eyes fall, the palace maid behind her will immediately take the silver chopsticks and silver spoon neatly and elegantly, and dig out a small piece of that food and send it to her mouth.
In order to maintain the demeanor of the diner, that small piece is really very small, only the amount between the teeth, and there is no need to open the mouth to chew at all.
Dining in such an environment, being served in such a thoughtful way, eating white poria at the moment made me indigestion, and no matter how good the craftsmanship of the imperial chef was, he had no intention of tasting it.
Bai Poria felt that what she was eating was not food, it was depressed!
It was not the first time that Xuan Long and Ying Luo had experienced this kind of scene, they had not planned to eat well, but seeing Bai Poria with a complaining look that wanted to vomit at any time, she shook her head after eating some hastily and said that it was enough.
Bai Poria breathed a sigh of relief and stopped, she would definitely hang up in advance if she ate a few more meals for this meal.
Yang Heng has been paying attention to Bai Poria's expression and demeanor without a trace, although ordinary people can't see anything wrong with her, but he knows that she is very unhappy, he sighs secretly, very helpless.
He knew that with Bai Poria's attitude towards him, he had seen the enthronement ceremony, and he would definitely leave with Princess Antai and go home today, so he specially sent his cronies and eunuchs to keep an eye on the motives of Yihui Palace, and hurried to this side as soon as he went to court.
He has ascended the throne, and it will be inconvenient to leave the palace in the future, and it will be difficult to see her again.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly woke up in her court clothes, but she was afraid that it would make her more respectful of herself, so she hurriedly turned to the dormitory to change into regular clothes, fortunately, the two places were not far apart, and finally arrived at Yihui Palace before she left.
Now it seems that it was a bit self-defeating, and he was bent on keeping her for a while, but it ended up making the distance between the two even more farther.
Gonggong Wen has been serving Yang Heng for many years, speculating on his ability to be the first and ranking in the top three, Yang Heng's love for Bai Poria has never been a secret, and his heart moved at the moment, and he glanced at a little eunuch who was standing next to Bai Poria and waiting.
The little eunuch gritted his teeth, took the tea, and the delicate high-legged celadon cup on the plate suddenly lost its balance, and the light brown warm tea was splashed on the shoulder of the white poria with great accuracy, and suddenly her flowing cloud pattern Bixia Luo robe was transformed from a classical and elegant style to a postmodern graffiti route.
Bai Poria was stunned for a moment and came back to her senses, almost unable to believe her bad luck, the little eunuch had already knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to admit her mistake.
Princess Antai turned her head and frowned, Gonggong Wen waved his hand, and out of nowhere, two little eunuchs rushed out of nowhere and dragged the one on the ground quickly.
Gonggong Wen walked up to Bai Poria and bent down and said with a smile: "The slave is incompetent, please forgive the county lord, and the slave will send someone to send you back to change your clothes." ”
The eunuchs in the palace can serve in front of the palace, and they will definitely not make such a low-level mistake, Yang Heng vaguely guessed that there was something wrong with it, and said to Bai Poria in cooperation: "Go and go back quickly." ”
In fact, the meal has already been eaten, and when this kind of thing happens, the normal situation should be that Xuan Long and Yingluo accompanied Bai Poria back to Yihui Palace to change clothes and then leave the palace as planned. When Yang Heng said this, it was clear that he wanted to keep Princess Antai's mother and daughter talking, and asked her to change her clothes and come back.
He is now the emperor, and no one dares to raise objections to what he says, so Bai Poria left the scene first under the sympathetic gaze of the two sisters.
Bai Guoshou saw that Bai Poria was sent back alone, and his clothes were splashed with a tea stain, and he was taken aback, thinking that someone dared to bully his own lady out of nowhere, and the two willow eyebrows stood up on the spot.
"The little eunuch accidentally got dirty, you change my clothes first." Bai Poria felt strange in her heart, but there was nothing to be afraid of in Yihui Palace, so she didn't think much about it, pulled Bai Guo away, and quickly changed into a white magnolia pinched flower placket coat.
Bai Guo went out to bring water to wipe her face, Bai Poria combed her hair in the mirror alone, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when she turned her head, she saw Yang Heng standing in front of the door of the main hall and looking at her.
Bai Poria was taken aback, and said angrily: "People are scary, scared to death!" What are you doing quietly? As soon as the words came out, he suddenly woke up to his identity, and he wanted to sew his mouth on the spot.
Yang Heng didn't mind her rude offense, but was a little happy that she was as spicy and rude as ever, and said with a smile: "I'm scared of dead people, what are you excited about?" ”
Claiming to be "me", that means you don't have to treat him as Emperor Luo? Bai Poria looked at him with some doubts, and soon understood, raised her eyebrows and said, "You instructed someone to splash me with tea!" "It's not a question, it's an affirmation.
It's not him, but it's almost, Yang Heng didn't deny it, and sighed: "As an emperor, every word and deed is watched by countless people, and many things can't be done as you like, I want to keep you, but in the end I can only use such a clumsy method." ”
Bai Poria looked at him with a strange expression, and finally couldn't help but say, "I've always wanted to ask you, what do you like about me?" I'm good in a lot of things, but I'm ...... to you It seems like there's never been a good face......"
Yang Heng couldn't cry or laugh, this question, he also asked himself more than once, Bai Poria is indeed beautiful and extraordinary, but he asked himself that he was not so superficial that he indulged in obsession regardless of just looking at beauty.
He is different from those sons and brothers in the capital who admire the reputation of Bai Poria's first beauty and the first talented woman, he has seen from the beginning that Bai Poria is arrogant and pungent, arrogant, rude, deceitful and afraid of evil, extravagant and greedy for money, but he is like a demon, he can't help but focus on her, thinking that what she does is cute and extraordinary, and everything she says has its own crooked reasoning, all in all, others do very annoying things, as long as it is done by Bai Poria, he thinks it is good and right.
Yang Heng and Bai Poria "stared" at each other for a while, and finally couldn't help but smile and sigh: "Maybe I'm too envious of you......"
Yes! Bai Poria has parents who love her like their lives and care wholeheartedly, and there are countless people who are willing to support and serve whatever she wants to do, who can act recklessly regardless of the consequences and regardless of the eyes of others, who have the pride and persistence of treating all fame, fortune and power as dung, and who can leave everything behind at any time and be free and uninhibited.
And he, some of them are just the early death of the mother and the emperor, the father is ruthless, every day is deceitful, everything is scheming, before the enthronement is patience and patience, after ascending the throne, he still has to face all kinds of constraints, face countless difficulties and obstacles, to be careful to manage, check and balance hundreds of officials, and stabilize the Quartet.
Every time he wants to accomplish something, he always tries his best and even pays a huge price. I had to suppress myself again and again in order to achieve my goals. And Bai Poria seems to have been born to be the darling of God, and the slightest grievance can make her frown and be dissatisfied, and even he unconsciously retreats in front of her again and again, for fear of making her unhappy.
Why is there such a big difference between people?
Bai Poria didn't fully understand what he meant, but she still reluctantly comforted her: "Don't envy me too much, I also have my troubles." ”
"I really want to leave you ...... forever," Yang Heng said suddenly, his expression extremely serious.
Broken! Bai Poria's expression froze: "But I don't want to stay very, very much." ”
"You can continue to be your female overlord, I dare to promise, as long as you stay, you have the final say in everything in the palace...... You just want to release Wangcai and Ah Fu in the imperial garden, and I have no objection. ”
Bai Poria couldn't help laughing, but quickly restrained her smile and asked, "I put Wangcai and Ah Fu in the Imperial Garden, and then what?" ”
Yang Heng was stunned for a moment, and listened to Bai Poria continue: "Then the kilometers will be a mess, and then the officials will write to advise the emperor to stay away from the absurd demon concubine, and the grandfather will also be implicated, and become a traitor who uses his granddaughter's beauty to instigate and lure the emperor to become an absurd and faint monarch, and then Pingzi and the eldest brother can't help but speak for me, so they will become traitors together, and they will be boycotted by hundreds of officials, and finally the emperor will be busy fighting with the ministers every day, and the government decree will not work, and all the ambitions and plans will become a dream bubble." ”
"You're exaggerating!" Yang Heng frowned and retorted.
"You know what to expect." Bai Poria smiled and said, "Actually, you should have known early on that we were not suitable and could not be together." It is impossible for you to give up the goals and ideals that you have been striving for for so many years, and it is impossible for me to change my temperament and act. Barely together, sooner or later, they will affect each other and look at each other unpleasantly. ”
"Could it be that you and Gan Sui are suitable?!" This sentence has been hidden in Yang Heng's heart for a long, long time, and he feels that this is very tasteless, so he has been holding back and not announcing it.
Bai Poria was blocked by him, and he was not angry, but gave birth to a somewhat desolate feeling, and said dejectedly: "It's not suitable, but you don't have to envy him too much...... I will not lead to anything with him. ”
"Why do you know this, still, still ......" Yang Heng couldn't go on.
Bai Poria knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, but he estimated that even if he explained it to him, he would not believe it, so he simply said very shamefully: "Because I am a willful and reckless fool." ”
Yang Heng was really speechless this time.
Bai Poria thought for a while, took out a small bag from her sleeve and handed it to Yang Heng and said, "Two wishing pearls will be returned to you, I have already said the request, you are not allowed to rely on it!" ”
Then he took out the lotus-shaped jasper bead and put it in his hand: "Finally, this bead will also be given to you, look at it when you are embarrassed and angry or unhappy, and always remember your original intention, and don't be changed by power struggles and conspiracy." ”
Yang Heng was shocked, he understood the meaning of Bai Poria cocos, which was to remind him not to follow his father's old path.
When his father ascended to the throne with great difficulty, he had no ambitions, but he had been suppressed by the Mao family and the Xia family, so he could only work hard, disguising himself as a faint monarch who only knew wine and wealth, and finally took back the monarchy one day, but he had forgotten all the ambitions of the day, only knew how to seize power, squeezed out loyalty, played with power, and regarded the world as a dog.
"You always don't seem to believe me." A wave of indignation and anger welled up in Yang Heng's chest.
