Such an obvious attitude of refusal made the Emperor of Bac Ninh angry, he grabbed the handrail, and his voice became cold, "Even if you don't agree, it doesn't matter, but as a citizen of Bac Ninh, you need to do one thing for Bac Ninh, I have observed you for a long time, and I think you are bold and careful, brave and intelligent, and you are a heroine among women, who can push away the marriage you don't like with your own strength, stay away from the harem strife, and reunite your family." I also found out that you cooperated with Baixiangmen, and your various deeds in Nanzhao controlled almost a quarter of Nanzhao's economic lifeline, and a woman like you will definitely succeed if she is willing to investigate Lanling for me. After the matter is completed, gold, silver, jewelry, glory and wealth are naturally indispensable to you, and I will also re-canonize Baili Qingbao to inherit the throne of the king of Dingnan, so that you can return to the former scenery of Dingnan Palace, so that it can be said that it is full of sincerity. ”

Back to the old days? Hmph, after the death of my father, the Dingnan Royal Mansion was suppressed by the ministers of the court, and finally it was dilapidated and difficult to maintain, wasn't it you? If you want to go back, you can go back, and if you want to take it back, you can take it back? It's funny!

Bai Lilan bent the corners of her mouth coldly, although her tone was not disrespectful, but it gave people the feeling that there was an indescribable banter.

"The emperor really overestimated Lan'er, Lan'er did this just to survive. The emperor's national affairs, Lan'er is really difficult to take on a heavy responsibility as a woman. ”

Hearing Baili Lan's refusal, Emperor Beining squinted his eyes and said slowly, "I said that if I want you to go, you have to go!" If you really want to refuse, then before refusing, consider your younger brother Baili Qingbao. He is the only male in your Dingnan Palace, right, if he has three long and two short, I'm afraid that your Dingnan Mansion will have no successor! Baililan, can you afford this responsibility?! ”

Hum! Baili Lan chuckled and raised her head, looked at Emperor Beining, and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, since you want to negotiate terms with Lan'er, then show some sincerity, okay?" After Xiaobao's coming-of-age ceremony, he can still inherit the throne and become the successor of his father, but you just advanced this process, and the courtiers don't seem to get any real benefits. ”

"But whether he can grow up healthy and safe, it's hard to say, after all, people's lives are unpredictable, and any reason can make you displaced. Isn't your father a good example? ”

The naked coercion of Emperor Beining angered Bai Lilan, she sneered and looked at the man in the yellow robe, and said, "According to the emperor's will, it seems to be a good deal for me to be born and die alone, in exchange for a family?" What if the courtier's daughter fails in her mission and dies? How does this work? ”

"If you are willing to do things for me wholeheartedly, even if the mission fails, what is promised to you will still count."

"The emperor is a master like a cloud, and any one of them is outstanding, why do you have to be a courtier? Is it just because of boldness? Your dead man is no less daring than a courtier! ”

"They have their uses, and what I want you to do is to go deep into Lanling, get close to the people of the Nangong family, and get information for me. Many years ago, Bac Ninh was unknown in Kyushu, until we in Bac Ninh mastered a magical skill, which changed the pattern, and that skill is the textile technology from Lanling. When Princess Lanling first created this technique, it was regarded as an evil art by the people at that time, and they jointly resisted, but later, Princess Lanling used her own operation to demonstrate in front of everyone and explain the working principle of the textile machine, so that people gradually accepted such a fresh technology. Textile technology has greatly developed Bac Ninh's economy and extended to other countries, making Bac Ninh a rich country in a short period of time. From this point of view, this confirms the saying that Lanling is the lifeblood of Beining Tianyan. And your main purpose this time is to enter the Nangong family and get the composition of the textile technology. ”

"The composition of textile technology? If the emperor wants it, why not make a holy decree, it will come faster. ”

"Hmph, do you think the people in the Nangong family are all fools? Since the death of Princess Lanling, the King of Lanling has destroyed all the textile machines under the pretext of the pain of losing his wife, although some old workers have rebuilt some machines according to memory, but the effect is far inferior to the textile machines of Princess Lanling. ”

"Then how can the emperor be sure that the Nangong family still holds the composition of textile technology in his hands?"

"Because I understand the nature of the Nangong family! They thought that they could hide it from me with some bitter tricks, but in fact, I knew that they could not really bear to destroy such a precious thing, so they must hide it, and when the time comes, they will use that technology as a bargaining chip to threaten me! I can't sit still, I have to take the map before they can make a move! ”

When Emperor Beining said this, his eyes were full of desire, and it could be seen that he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Bai Lilan's expression changed slightly, and at the same time, she also remembered that Qiu Shuang had mentioned the strange things about Princess Lanling. At that time, Bai Lilan also suspected that this Lanling princess had also traveled over, but there were too many things that happened later and were too chaotic, so that Bai Lilan forgot about it. Now that I heard Emperor Beining mention it, Baili Lan remembered this matter again, and secretly said that this time she must check carefully, whether the princess of Lanling is a crossing girl.

It's just that in this way, the map thing is clueless again. However, in Bai Lilan's heart, it is far more important to find out why he came to this place, which is far more important than the map, so today's trip to the palace can be regarded as a little gain, if it is not used by the Beining Emperor, Baili Lan will also find a way to get close to the Nangong family by himself, although he has to help the Beining Emperor do things now, but in the final analysis, he still has to carry out the task according to her Baili Lan's ideas.

Seeing that Baili Lan didn't speak for a long time, Emperor Beining put on a compassionate expression and said soothingly, "I know that it is a little difficult for you to do such a dangerous thing. But you must know that the reason why your father died on the battlefield was to protect the people of Bac Ninh, and what you have to do now is to inherit your father's business and protect Bac Ninh. Surely your father will know about it, and he will be pleased underground. As for Xiaobao, you can rest assured that no matter whether the mission is successful or not, I will raise him as an adult and make him a pillar of Bac Ninh. This can be seen from the fact that I handed Xiaobao over to the Queen Mother to raise you, even if you don't believe me, you have to believe in the Queen Mother. ”

Baili Lan pursed her lips, so that people could not see her joy and anger, paused for a while, and asked again, "I don't know how the emperor wants Lan'er to approach the Nangong family?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I have already thought of a countermeasure for you, I want you to overcome softness with rigidity and marry into the Nangong family!"

It turned out to be a beauty trick!

Baili Lan nodded, and asked again, "Is it old or young?" ”

Emperor Beining was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What?" ”

"The courtiers are asking, do you want the courtiers to marry the king of Lanling, or the prince of the king of Lanling?" Bai Lilan patiently explained again.

The corners of Emperor Beining's mouth twitched, and he looked at Baili Lan's face carefully, and found that he didn't have any joking expression, he was completely serious, and couldn't help but be even more angry, "What do you think of this kid, will I let you marry that bad old man of King Lanling?" You are going to marry Nangong Jingchen, although he is a lame, eccentric personality, and perverse behavior, but he is also a handsome and colorful man, and he is a well-known beautiful man in Bac Ninh. In terms of identity, King Lanling, like your father, is a king with a different surname, and his identity is also matched. After you complete the task, if you want to continue to stay in Lanling, you will not be wronged by the East Window incident, and you will not be wronged in terms of identity, if you have no feelings for Nangong Jingchen at all, you can also return to Beijing and take charge of the Dingnan Mansion until your younger brother grows up. Lan'er, I have already arranged a future for you, and now I just need you to nod, which is not difficult for you at all, and for us people in Bac Ninh, it is a great blessing. It's good for both public and private, and you're so smart that you should know how to choose. ”

Choose? Do you have a choice? Baili Lan smiled indifferently, and that smile made the Emperor of Beining like a man.

"Since the emperor has made all preparations for Lan'er, then Lan'er can only follow the holy will. I only hope that the emperor can do what he says and take good care of Xiaobao. ”

"That's nature, I will never break my word! Well, you haven't seen your brother for a long time, he's at the Queen Mother's, go and see him. ”

"Yes, the courtiers are retired."

Watching Baili Lan leave the Qianqing Palace little by little, Emperor Beining couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although he was very faceless, but Emperor Beining had to admit that in front of Bai Lilan, he actually felt a little oppressive, which made him uncomfortable to speak, especially when he was lying.

When Mama Su, who was waiting outside the door, saw Baili Lan's figure, she hurriedly ran to the Queen Mother and said with a smile, "Queen Mother, the county lord is here!" ”

"Yes, bring it in, the mourning family hasn't seen her for a while, and I don't know if she's fat or thin." The Queen Mother hurriedly stood up, with a loving smile on her face.

Xiaobao stood beside the Queen Mother, kept watching the Queen Mother's reaction, and when she saw that her happy smile came from within, Xiaobao's vigilance and resentment towards her for several days were lowered a little.

"Lan'er has seen the Queen Mother!" As soon as Baili Lan entered the long pavilion, she walked up to the Queen Mother and greeted the Queen Mother in a proper manner. And when Xiaobao looked at his sister looking like a little sheep, he couldn't help but secretly laugh behind him.

"Ouch, Lan'er of the mourning family has finally returned, come to the mourning family and see if you have lost weight!" Far away, the Queen Mother stretched out her arm to Baili Lan and said affectionately.

Compared with the attitude towards the emperor, Bai Lilan's tone was much gentler when facing the queen mother. Although her sudden tender smile made Xiaobao very uncomfortable.

Walking obediently to the Queen Mother's side, Baili Lan's eyes seemed to be slightly red, and she said in a low voice, "Lan'er has worried the Queen Mother, it's Lan'er who is not filial!" ”
