Chapter 42: The Monarch and the Minister
The regent was in a very good mood these days, and the courtiers felt that life was much better than before.
When there was a flood in the south, Bailibo waved his pen, and the household department wanted as many batches as he wanted.
The doctors of several academies collectively wrote a book again, criticizing state affairs, and Bailibo smiled and said, "It makes sense." ”
Lord Yushi Zhao complained to the cabinet scholar that the house of Lord Song was restless, and the concubine deceived his wife, and Bailibo shook his long sleeves: "This is a family matter, what does it have to do with you." ”
Some courtiers proposed to enrich the harem for the little emperor, and Bailibo was just about to nod. I heard the little emperor cough: "Xingzhou Aiqing!" ”
The little emperor Baili Hongqian looked at Baili Bo's body, and every cell in his body was transmitting the signal that the master was happy, and he also sat on the dragon chair and laughed secretly, and after stopping the courtiers' proposal to draft a girl for him, Hong Qian hurriedly dispersed the court and left Baili Bo behind.
"Uncle, accompany me to the Imperial Garden." Hong smiled lightly: "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, what good things happened to my uncle, can you tell my nephew?" ”
When there is no one else, Hong Qian has always been very close to Bailibo.
In the Imperial Garden, the ancient cypress and old acacia are planted all over the garden, and the strange stone jade seat, the bronze statue of Jinlin, the potted flower pile scene, the flowers bloom everywhere at this time, which is very beautiful. The uncle and nephew walked slowly on the path of the imperial garden, and the eunuchs who served close to them automatically avoided the distance and gave up some distance to whisper to the two.
Bailibo looked at the young man next to him who was already up to his shoulders, his posture was like a Zhilan jade tree, and his words and deeds were magnificent. I was very relieved in my heart, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been lonely and widowed for nearly thirty years, and now he has finally found his beloved, and this life is enough." ”
Hong Qian Daqi said: "I always thought that my uncle was not close to women's nature, but it turned out that fate had not arrived." I don't know which adult's daughter this woman is? Or is it a young lady hidden in the family? ”
Baili Bo smiled: "It's just a civilian, and the minister fell in love at first sight." ”
Hong Qian smacked his tongue and said: "The Baili royal family has never had a precedent for choosing a wife from a commoner for hundreds of years, and my uncle should be the first person. Since he is a commoner, he must not have the help of his family...... Is the uncle going to take her as a concubine? ”
Baili Bo said: "Your Majesty, it is good to have a lot of beauties, but there is no one in ten thousand people who really love, there are three thousand weak waters, and the minister only takes one scoop to drink." ”
Hong Qian was surprised: "Does my uncle want to be the princess?" ”
Baili Bo said: "Of course, I'm just afraid that she won't marry." ”
Hong Qian said: "...... Presumably this woman is very beautiful, I have no one to compare? ”
Baili Bo said: "This woman ...... used to be very beautiful, but now she is getting uglier and uglier. ”
Hong Qian: "......"
A beautiful palace lady suddenly walked in the distance, and blessed the two of them: "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an, and the regent is Jin'an." The Queen Mother was in the Wanchun Pavilion in front and asked the regent to come over and speak. ”
Hong Qian's face turned pale in an instant, and he looked at Bailibo: "Uncle......"
Bailibo half-knelt down and straightened the dragon robe for him, and said to him very calmly: "The emperor goes back, the minister hasn't seen the queen mother for a long time, and he should go to the queen mother to say goodbye." ”
After Baili Bo got up, he followed Nagong E away, Hong Qian looked at his back behind him, and couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
In the Wanchun Pavilion, all the palace ladies stood far away. There is a woman sitting in the pavilion, wearing a long skirt with a hundred butterflies on a gold background, with a graceful posture, a moth eyebrows, a seven-treasure arch green coral hairpin in her hair, and her facial features are extremely gorgeous, and she does not look like a woman who has given birth to a child at a glance, but looks like a girl who has not yet left the pavilion. Holding a small purple sand pot in her hand, she poured out two cups of tea, the heat of the tea was steaming in front of her eyes, and she didn't look at anyone, but only looked at the teacup and pondered.
Bailibo knelt down and bowed to her to say goodbye, but after a long time, Bailibo was not in a hurry, kneeling on the ground motionless.
Empress Dowager Qin looked at Bailibo's shoulder, this person covered the sky with one hand in the court, he had it all. Over the years, he didn't seem to enjoy the glory and wealth, but seemed to be much older.
"Get up."
"Yes, Queen Mother." The Empress Dowager Qin, who was called by the Queen Mother, felt sour.
"You've always been like that." She sighed.
Bailibo was silent and sat down respectfully under her.
"The mourning family heard that there is a new beauty in your house, who is very young and beautiful, and is very favored by you." Empress Dowager Qin smiled and said: "It's time to do it, the mourning family sees that you have been alone for so many years, how difficult it is." ”
Bailibo said with a smile: "Thank you for the care of the Queen Mother, Your Majesty is already in the age of establishment, and if you don't marry a wife, you will be ashamed of your ancestors." ”
Empress Dowager Qin said: "Marry a wife? Speaking of which, the mourning family has something to discuss with you. ”
Bailibo: "Don't dare, please show me." ”
Empress Dowager Qin said leisurely: "The daughter of Xiangguofu, the niece of the mourning family, Qin Youyou, wants to give you the good of marrying two surnames, I don't know what Xingzhou wants?" ”
Bailibo smiled slightly: "Thank you for your compassion for your subordinates, but your subordinates already have a candidate for the princess, if you are wronged by the daughter of the country, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate." ”
Empress Dowager Qin smiled coldly: "Xingzhou, do you know what you are talking about." ”
Bailibo: "The twisted melon is not sweet, the minister thinks that this truth, Niangniang has already understood." ”
Empress Dowager Qin's face was very ugly, and she looked at Bailibo fixedly.
This man, all the time, is like a piece of ice that will never melt.
If he is alone for the rest of his life, she will accept her fate.
However, he also has someone he likes.
There was a voice in her heart that kept shouting: My life is bad in the hands of this person, but he can't empathize with my pain! Such a majestic shoulder should have sheltered me from the wind and rain, and it should have been my life's home!
"Forget it, you go down." She suddenly felt very tired.
"Yes, the minister will retire." Bailibo stood up and turned away without hesitation.
Outside, the swallows are singing and the warblers are crying, and the red sun is scorching. The Empress Dowager Qin seemed to be unable to see or hear anything. Her heart was desolate.
The closest female official around her, Drunken Sakura, persuaded: "Niangniang, you have to take care of your body, the future will be long."
Empress Dowager Qin smiled bitterly: "Take care of your body? How can I take care of my body now? ”
Drunken Sakura knelt down and said, "Niangniang Qianqiu, as long as you think of something to make yourself happy, your body will definitely get better." ”
Empress Dowager Qin was silent. She wanted to say that what else could happen to her, even she herself was just a living dead waiting to die.
Drunken Sakura suddenly smiled: "Niangniang, the princess of the regent is not so easy to do. ”
……
She didn't want to waste any of the gloomy woods she had ever treasured, she didn't want to waste anything, she had to make the most of it. I didn't want Bailibo to suddenly push the door in, snatch the gloomy wood in her hand, and throw it into Jing'er's arms.
"A hundred miles of boating!" Fu Shaogen slapped the table: "Don't force Lao Tzu to do it!" ”
"Shh Baili Bo hugged the fried Fu Shaogen into his arms: "Who are you?" I'm Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu is going to take you out shopping now. To go or not to go? ”
"Go! Lao Tzu is going! ”
"Okay, I'll take you there." Bailibo smiled and instructed the porter to hurry up and prepare the carriage. He suddenly realized that Fu Shaogen had been confined to the mansion for two or three days, and he should be brought out to breathe, otherwise he would be suffocated. By the way, I had to buy her some clothes and jewelry, as well as her own favorite small items.
The carriage of the Baili Mansion was very exquisitely made, the carriage was wrapped in brocade on all sides, and the rosewood windows were covered by a curtain of light blue crepe, so that the people outside the car could not peep inside, but the people in the car had an unobstructed view of the outside world. The interior of the carriage is very large, which can be sat or reclined, and between the two seats there is a wooden box fixed to the carriage, which hides chessboards, wine and snacks. The incense of agarwood smoked in the car, Fu Shao smelled this smell even more, and heyed: "You nobles just smoke incense in the bedroom study, I didn't expect incense to be smoked in the carriage, is this to cover up the smell of sweat without bathing?" ”
Baili Bo said: "I bathe every day, and my body does not stink." I don't believe you. After saying that, he pulled Fu Shaogen to sit on his lap and pressed her head into his arms.
Fu Shao struggled not to give in, and said angrily: "A hundred miles of boating, how can I say that I have also defeated you." The lord of the defeated army dared to be so arrogant in front of this commander! ”
Baili Bo laughed and said: "I was wrong, I was wrong, and I begged Fu Shuai to be forgiving." He looked down at the crow's hair and long, fluttering eyelashes, and he almost wanted to swallow the man in his arms. The ears exposed at her sideburns were round and small, like a shell with a faint pink color, and Bailibo couldn't help but really lean in and take a bite.
Outside, Liu San was driving a horse, riding a horse towards the mountain road and following behind the carriage. They watched the carriage suddenly shake violently, and they heard Fu Shao shout angrily: "Dare to bite me? It's against you! Get the hell out of here! ”
The two seemed to be fighting in the carriage, after all, Fu Shaogen suffered a loss of his body, and his previous good skills were lost, and he was circled into his arms by Bailibo after a few clicks, and Bailibo coaxed a series of small voices, probably promising some good things. The carriage slowly quieted down.
He glanced at each other, determined to play dead to the end.
……
Fenglin's Taifeng Silver Building, is the whole grand and important second to none of the big silver building, complete jewelry, exquisite objects, the shopkeeper Lin got the news early, and made a special trip to wait for the arrival of Bailibo at the door of the silver building. When he saw Baili Bo get out of the carriage first, and helped the woman in the carriage down very thoughtfully, the woman's facial features were exquisite, her cheeks were flushed, and her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, although she was wearing not many expensive things, the whole nerves of the shopkeeper Lin were tense, and she was the guy he ate. Just looking at the eyes of the regent, he understood that this woman's identity was unimaginably precious, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, presumably he could make a big deal today.
As soon as a few people entered the Taifeng Silver Building, Shopkeeper Lin immediately ordered the men to close the door and thank the guests, and concentrate on receiving Bailibo and his party.
