Chapter 43: Confronting the Queen Mother
In the face of the Queen Mother's accusations, Bai Lilan seemed to have no reaction, looked at the surrounding environment casually, and said in a casual tone: "I just want to see what the once dominant Empress Dowager will look like now, in this palace, is she still full of words, or is she like an ordinary old lady, willing to put down her body and live for a long time." But for now, you should be the latter. Looking at the Empress Dowager leisurely, Bai Lilan put her hands around her chest, looked her up and down, and said slowly, "The Empress Dowager is still in good spirits, which really reassures me a lot!" ”
Although the words in his mouth sounded like complimenting the Empress Dowager, Bai Lilan's mocking look was real, and the Empress Dowager trembled with anger, eager to wave the crutches in her hand, and now rush up to hit this hateful woman.
"You...... You...... Baililan, what qualifications do you have to talk to the mourning family like this now! Your current identity is a joke, nothing! And even if the mourning family is the empress dowager of the previous dynasty, the status is still above you! You woman who doesn't know how to count etiquette, don't hurry up and say hello to the mourning family! Thinking that the Empress Dowager was also dizzy, she thought of such a ridiculous and untenable excuse. However, the current Baili Lan didn't bother to argue with her, because she had come here and had already come to a conclusion.
"Empress Dowager, have you heard of a sentence?" Bai Lilan suddenly smiled weirdly, leaned forward slightly, and said, "The wicked are rewarded!" That's true. Just ten days ago, you also let your precious grandson wantonly kill the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and without stopping it, you let the palace be full of blood, mourning all over the wilderness, and let the palace have countless unjust souls for no reason. These debts are to be written on you! How's it going, are you sleeping well now? Do you often feel like something inexplicable is following you? When you are asleep, there may be a little palace maid covered in blood, looking straight at you! ”
The Empress Dowager was bloodless, trembling all over, and couldn't speak. If it was before, there would definitely be many people standing behind the Empress Dowager, denouncing Baili Lan and reprimanding her for talking nonsense. But now because of the change of identity, these women dare not go against Baili Lan, everyone knows that she is the princess of King Lanling, and after King Lanling ascends the throne, she is the queen, the most powerful woman in the harem. If you offend her, there will definitely be no way to go on with the life of the harem, so everyone chooses to be silent and quietly watch the two women go toe-to-toe. No, the current Empress Dowager is no longer Bai Lilan's opponent, she can only watch Bai Lilan act in front of her, and there is nothing she can do. But she was unwilling to be bullied by a girl like this, so she forced her breath and said angrily: "Baililan, even if the mourning family is sorry for those people, the mourning family is not sorry for you!" I think that when you were bullied, it was the mourning family who helped you behind you, spoke for you, and loved to help you take care of your younger brother. Isn't this kindness? Instead of reciprocating the mourners, you are provoking the mourners here, are you right? ”
Bai Lilan lowered her head and smiled, not bothered by the Empress Dowager's tender offensive, and said, "Don't pretend to be noble here, do you think you are really good to me?" You're just making up for what you owe to my father. Because you know that the emperor framed my father back then, but he didn't stop it. If you feel that you owe our family, you will be good to us. But you have thought about the cause and effect relationship here, because you did not prevent that tragedy from happening, which will cause our sisters and sisters to be bullied all over the world. After all, you royalty are the ones who started it all! ”
The Empress Dowager was so choked by Baili Lan's words that she couldn't say a word, she never thought that Bai Lilan would know that she really wanted to back then, so that now the only excuse to suppress Bai Lilan has also been lost.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was like a defeated hen, Baili Lan had a smile of unknown meaning, and then turned around and left leisurely.
Watching Baili Lan leave, Ou Zhilan shook her head helplessly, secretly thinking that her character of revenge would really hurt her.
After walking around, when I returned to Xiaobao, Xiaobao was already sitting outside, waiting to fall asleep. He was still holding a food box in his arms, which looked like it was prepared for Baililan.
Walking up to him gently, Baili Lan looked at his sleepy eyes and thought that this was really a cute child. If you really raise such an excellent child, it is indeed a very fulfilling thing. Now he needs more experience, staying by Nangong Jingchen's side, he will be well taken care of, and at the same time, he can have the best talent in the world to teach him, plus with Nangong Jingchen, the emperor, no one in this harem will dare to bully him.
Feeling the touch on his cheeks, Xiaobao opened his eyes vigilantly, and after finding out that it was the eldest sister, he showed a sweet smile and said, "Eldest sister, you are finally back, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" This is the jujube cake I asked people to buy, which is sold in the century-old store behind our house. I remember that my eldest sister used to like to eat this jujube paste cake the most, and now I try it again, and it still doesn't taste like it was back then? ”
Pointing her finger at the tip of Xiaobao's nose, Bai Lilan smiled: "Back then, you were still a little hairy child, how do you remember what the eldest sister likes to eat?" You should keep these and eat them, little one! After saying that, Baili Lan stood up and wanted to take his hand and walk into the house.
was said to be a little bit, Xiaobao was very unhappy, pouted and followed behind Baililan, muttering in a low voice: "It's good that people grow up, and they are also a man who can protect you!" ”
"Do you want the little man to eat jujube cake?"
“…… Want! ”
After coaxing Xiaobao to eat, Baili Lan supported her jaw with her arm and said as if unintentionally: "Xiaobao, is it okay for you to live here temporarily during this time, eldest sister should go out to do some things first, and when I am done......"
Before Bai Lilan's excuse was finished, he saw that Xiaobao looked at Bai Lilan very disappointed, and then said aggrievedly: "Eldest sister, are you going to do your own things again?" And then come back after half a year? Xiaobao is afraid, afraid that every time you leave, you will never come back......"
The child's expression will not deceive, Bai Lilan knows that Xiaobao is very sad and afraid now, maybe the original self is using such an excuse to prevaricate him.
Thinking of this, Bai Lilan's heart was hot, and then she reached out to pick him up, and asked in a low voice: "Xiaobao, you come to tell my sister, what kind of person is the original eldest sister, and how do you like to talk to you usually?" ”
After being saved by Baili Lan, Xiaobao had a feeling of being flattered, his whole body was warm, and he even felt very happy just because of such a hug.
"The original eldest sister...... Very decisive, very powerful, very smart, but also very lonely. Obviously, we are all by the side of the eldest sister, but I can still feel that the eldest sister has her own world and does not share it with others. In the eyes of the eldest sister, there seems to be no problem that cannot be solved, life is like a game after game, and it can always be easily solved by you. I really want to be as free and easy as my eldest sister, but after studying for so long, I haven't even learned a little bit of the eldest sister. Speaking of this, Xiaobao's voice was filled with a deep sense of frustration. But soon, he cheered up again, looked at Baili Lan with a smile, and said, "But I do one thing better than my eldest sister, and that is to do what I say!" I promised my eldest sister all of them. But the eldest sister didn't do this well, every time she went out, she said that she would come to pick me up soon, but in fact, I had to wait for a long time every time. But it doesn't matter, I also know that my eldest sister is doing big things, so I can overcome these small problems. Besides, if the eldest sister doesn't come to me, I'll go to find the eldest sister, just like this time, knowing that the eldest sister is in the capital, I will come to the capital to find the eldest sister. ”
Xiaobao said innocently, but it made Baili Lan's words unspeakable. What an innocent pair of eyes, which carried all his admiration and awe for this sister. If he knew he was about to leave him again, he didn't know how the child would react.
Seeing Baili Lan's hesitation, Xiaobao asked curiously, "Eldest sister, do you have something to say to Xiaobao?" ”
Sometimes, children's observation is really amazing, and the disguises of adults are invisible in front of them.
At that moment, Baili Lan made a decision, even if she forgot the past, she could go and find it by herself, even if it was inconvenient to bring a child around, she could still hold the sword and go to the end of the world. She is Baililan, who has always been a miracle worker, not defeated by miracles.
With such a decision in her heart, Bai Lilan's eyes showed a smile, and she leaned over and said, "Xiaobao, do you want to go out on an adventure with your eldest sister?" ”
Hearing this, Xiaobao raised his fists, jumped up with joy, and happily circled around Baililan.
Bai Lilan was afraid that he would get dizzy if he went around like this again, so she called him to his side and helped Xiaobao wipe the sweat from his forehead, acting carefully and carefully.
Baili Lan's small movements made Xiaobao surprised, looked at her with wide eyes, and said in disbelief: "Eldest sister, I always feel that after our reunion this time, where do you seem to be...... It's different. ”
"Where is it?"
"I can't say where it is, I just think that the eldest sister is gentle and gets along better."
Touching the top of Xiaobao's hair, Baili Lan smiled: "Does Xiaobao like this change?" ”
Nodding his head busily, Xiaobao's smile on his face represented his thoughts at the moment.
Baili Lan stood up, took his hand and said, "If you like it, remember me now." Because the eldest sister doesn't know when she will suddenly change back, maybe it's time to get her memories back. ”
Tilting his head to look at Baili Lan, Xiaobao didn't quite understand what the eldest sister was talking about, it seemed to be very profound. If my brother-in-law is here, I will definitely be able to understand what is on my sister's mind at the moment. Hey, it looks like I still have to study more.
