Su Baitong and Father-in-law Jia stood behind the screen and listened to the conversation inside.

After a while, Su Mingtang turned the screen, with a frightened look on his face, he didn't expect Su Baitong to stand outside, and the father and daughter collided.

Su Mingtang's face suddenly turned red.

Su Baitong gave a proper salute. But he did not speak, nor called his father.

The emperor was still behind the screen at this time, and Su Mingtang was obviously in a panic, and subconsciously, he actually returned the salute to her.

Su Baitong hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it.

As a child, how can she be courteous to her parents and elders?

Father-in-law Jia laughed "heh", Su Mingtang woke up suddenly, and his neck was red with shame.

As an official of the imperial court, he is panicked, and he is not even as good as his daughter.

He coughed lightly and urged Su Baitong to say, "The emperor is waiting inside." ”

Su Baitong saluted again, and then turned behind the screen.

Gonggong Jia didn't follow behind, he looked at Su Mingtang and smiled: "Hello to Master Su." ”

Su Mingtang's face turned blue and red for a while. Hurriedly walked out.

Gonggong Jia followed behind him, and when he left the palace gate, he handed over a golden post.

Su Mingtang took it, only to find out that it was Geng Tie of His Royal Highness the Scarlet King.

On it is written the eight characters of the birthday of the Scarlet King, as well as the comments of Qin Tianjian and the taboo time.

"Master Su, after receiving the Geng sticker, Miss Su's marriage can be regarded as decided." Father-in-law Jia said quietly.

"Yes, yes, it's nature." Su Mingtang looked at the sticker. I felt like I was in a dream, but I didn't expect that one day he could become the prince's father-in-law, and let the prince call him "father". The Asian Association perished.

This is something he never dared to think about, if his father knew about it, he would definitely no longer have prejudices against Su Baitong. Even Xing's ...... She won't embarrass him about the Marquis of Anqing anymore.

Everything can be solved perfectly!

Father-in-law Jia stood in front of the main hall. After Su Mingtang left, he called a guard and said in a low voice: "You go and send a message to the Scarlet Palace, and say that our family has told Master Su according to his instructions." ”

The guard nodded slightly, turned and quietly left.

Father-in-law Jia put his hands in his sleeves, and looked at Su Mingtang's distant back with a blank expression.

He has said it, but can the listener go to his heart...... But I don't know.

The meaning of the Scarlet King couldn't be clearer, and after exchanging Geng stickers, Su Baitong is his person, if anyone in the Su Mansion dares to fight her. Next time he wouldn't be so polite.

Although outsiders say that the Scarlet King is a good talker, but through this time he personally handled the official's corruption case, it can be seen that he is also a daring person at a critical time.

Su Baitong entered the hall and saluted the emperor.

"Get up." The Emperor said quietly.

Su Baitong stood up and stood with her head down, the emperor didn't speak, she also took the initiative to speak, and the hall was very quiet for a while.

"Did you just hear what I said to your father?"

"Yes." Su Baitong said respectfully.

"How do you feel?" The Emperor looked at her with interest.

Su Baitong was speechless, the emperor would really make fun of her, what ideas could she have, even if she had an idea, the Geng stickers here had been changed, could she still regret it?

Again...... If she really repents, someone still has to block the door and "fight" with her?

"The courtiers obey the emperor's will." Su Baitong said, the implication is that she agrees with this family business.

The emperor saw that she was generous, and there was no shyness and shyness of ordinary women when they mentioned marriage, so he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

"But in your capacity...... With the Scarlet King, it's still a little worse. ”

Su Baitong stared at the ground with lowered eyes.

That is to say, she is not worthy of the identity of the concubine.

However, she doesn't care whether she is a concubine or a side concubine, although every woman will hope that the person she marries will only pretend to be her in her heart in the future, but she knows that there is an invisible gap between her and him, which cannot be easily crossed.

"Since I personally gave the marriage, if I only get the position of a side concubine...... It's inevitably too shabby. The emperor pondered, and couldn't help but look at the change in the expression on her face, "I wanted to make you a female official before, but you refused, now if you want, I will make you an incense maid, and follow me after entering the palace, so that your identity is enough even if you are worthy of the position of the concubine of the Scarlet King." ”

Entering the palace...... Female Officer......

These two words kept exploding back and forth in Su Baitong's mind.

As soon as she enters the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, even if she is a four-grade incense making lady, as long as she steps into the palace gate, her life will be in the hands of many people.

In this way, not only will she not be able to help Ling Xiaotian, but she is afraid that even she will not be able to protect herself.

"I wonder if the courtiers have any other choice." Su Baitong is neither humble nor arrogant.

The emperor was taken aback.

I thought she would definitely agree, but you must know that he promised her the position of the concubine of the Scarlet King, which woman can not agree.

"Other choices......" The emperor frowned displeasedly, "I have often heard the national teacher mention you these days, he is over forty years old, but he has not yet married, but he pities your talent, listens to him, and wants to accept you as a righteous daughter......"

Su Baitong's heart seemed to have been hit again.

She couldn't agree to either choice.

Seeing her hesitation, the emperor's face became even worse, he thought that Su Baitong was a smart person, but he didn't expect her to be so stubborn that she didn't even give him face.

Su Baitong suddenly knelt down, bowed respectfully and said, "Please let the emperor allow his courtiers to think about it for a few days before making a decision." ”

The emperor forcibly suppressed his dissatisfaction, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "In this case, I will give you a ten-day limit, I am already merciful and generous." "The implication is that if you can't make up your mind then, don't blame me for being polite.

Su Baitong kowtowed again to thank him.

The emperor asked about the incense pavilion again.

Su Baitong talked about the fact that she began to remake the insect repellent incense.

The emperor's face gradually softened, but he was quite skeptical of the sachet she used to hold insect repellent incense.

Su Baitong also knew that the previous sachets were too cheap, and the people in the palace didn't look down on this kind of thing at all, so he said: "Please also ask the emperor to give me a look, and the courtiers can do it according to this." ”

The emperor directly called Gonggong Jia and asked him to prepare a batch of fine incense sachets and send them to the incense pavilion.

This is another beautiful difference, and Father-in-law Jia is naturally happy to accept it.

Finally ended the summons, Su Baitong walked out of the main hall, only to find that the clothes behind him were soaked with sweat.

"Miss Sue." Father-in-law Jia suddenly rushed over from behind, with a smile on his face, "Miss Su, don't rush back, the emperor has an order just now, please send the birthday gift to the Scarlet Palace." ”
