Chapter Twenty-Three: The Royal Secret
"Because Su Tingyuan was not born to the queen at all."
Bai Yi's words were shattering.
"Huh?"
Bai Wan didn't expect to hear such a sentence in Bai Yi's mouth, and he was stunned, and the whole person was stunned.
"Poof!"
Bai Yi chuckled, looking at Bai Guan's appearance, he knew that his father and mother had specially told them some things in the court, but Bai Guan didn't listen at all.
There's no way, who made herself her sister, she can only explain it to her.
Bai Yi not only didn't think there was anything wrong with Bai Guan, but was very willing to explain to her.
After listening to Bai Yi's explanation, Bai Guan Fang knew that Su Tingyuan was not the queen's parent, but was born to Concubine Rou in the harem.
Bai Wan was stunned, his eyes were full of shock, and he took a long time before he found his voice, and asked, "Isn't Concubine Rou a woman who is known as the most beautiful woman in the world?" And after he was still a minister, the whole family was beheaded many years ago. ”
Even Bai Guan, an existence who basically doesn't know anything about the past, knows Concubine Rou and this past, which shows the great sensation and influence at that time.
Bai Yi was not surprised that Bai Guan knew about this, she nodded lightly, and said in a deep voice: "After her family was full of beheadings, Concubine Rou herself hanged herself in the palace, and the queen saw that the prince was young at that time, so she begged the emperor to take the prince over to conceive, and since then Su Tingyuan has been the prince of the main palace in name." ”
"At that time, Concubine Rou hanged herself?"
Bai Wan asked in a trembling voice, she subconsciously felt that something seemed to be wrong, and asked Bai Yi tremblingly.
Bai Yi glanced at Bai Guan deeply, and did not answer clearly, but his eyes were meaningful, and he said softly: "This is what the emperor said, and the historian also wrote so." ”
"I see."
Bai Guan knew that this topic was over here, and even if he continued to ask, he couldn't ask anything useful.
However, when she listened, she felt a little cold in her heart, and they didn't know what the truth of that past was.
They were in charge of the leopard, and they could only keep silent about what they found wrong.
The past has been sealed, the verdict has been made, and they are not qualified to discuss the truth or falsehood.
However, Bai Yi said this, and Bai Wan finally understood the relationship between the queen, the Ruan family and the Bai family, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
If the queen doesn't think about Su Tingyuan's sake, then the queen must be thinking about her own family, she probably wants Su Tingyuan to marry her niece Ruan Xisheng and consolidate the status of the Ruan family.
If Su Tingyuan and Ruan Xisheng really succeeded, then in the future, when he ascended to a high position, the Ruan family would be an out-and-out uncle of the two dynasties.
It's a pity that Bai Guan is no longer the Bai Guan she used to be, Su Tingyuan actually doesn't care so much, what she really cares about is the safety of the Bai family.
No matter what, she can't let something happen to the Bai family.
Speaking of which, Bai Guan felt a little pity for Su Tingyuan in her heart.
Obviously, what the queen cares about is not Su Tingyuan at all, but her own powerful position, if Su Tingyuan does not have the position of prince, then her value for him will also dissipate with this prince.
When the time comes, what will happen to Su Tingyuan, in fact, you don't have to think about it, it can be predicted.
After getting what he wanted, Bai Guan said goodbye to Bai Yi and returned to his yard.
Bai Wan dragged her chin and sat on the steps of the door for a while, she thought about it and felt that she still needed to prepare for tomorrow's banquet.
When she was swimming in the lake before, she gave herself a small cartoon to increase her force value and culture.
However, at that time, all I wanted to do was protect myself from injury, and I had no other thoughts at all. If I use it for the banquet tomorrow, I'm afraid it won't be enough.
Fortunately, at that time, Su Tingyuan took her into his arms and gave Bai Guan another chance to paint.
After thinking about it again and again, Bai Guan's last cartoons drew a cartoon of force MAX for himself.
As the saying goes, three women in one play, tomorrow there will be twenty or thirty women.
Bai Wan was quite self-aware that at least one of the palms of them were her enemies, and no matter what, she always wanted to give herself a guarantee.
What's more, Bai Wan had a strong feeling in her heart that the banquet held by the queen was aimed at her. She won't be too peaceful tomorrow.
Alas, in fact, I also want to be low-key, but these people are too idle to find the door by themselves, so don't blame her subordinates for being ruthless.
Bai Wan clenched his fists lightly, and there was a faint fierceness in his eyes.
These people who want to attack her when she is not strong enough, Bai Guan will remember them one by one, and when she has the ability, she will take revenge and come back!
……
Go downstairs.
"In the past two days, Ruan Xisheng is probably such a whereabout."
Ying Yi respectfully sorted out the information he had collected and handed it to Su Tingyuan.
Su Tingyuan was still half-leaning on the soft couch, looking sleepy, as if it would take him a lot of strength to check all this information.
"Huh?"
His eyes swept over the paper, Su Tingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and his narrow eyes revealed a hint of mockery, and asked lightly: "Ruan Xisheng asked the queen for help, and the queen really agreed?" ”
"Yes."
Ying nodded and admitted, continued to report more detailed news, and said in a deep voice: "It is said that you are inviting all the women of the court and the daughters of the family to enter the palace to enjoy the flowers, and it will be tomorrow." ”
"How is the Bai family?" Su Tingyuan asked again.
At the mention of the Bai family, Ying Yi's face really didn't look so good, his voice subconsciously lowered a few points, and replied truthfully: "I heard that Bai Guan on the Bai family's side has confirmed to participate, but the second lady Bai Yi complained about illness and didn't go." ”
Ying Yi, he actually didn't understand why Su Tingyuan was so favored by Bai Guan, yes, it was favored. For a while, he couldn't say any other adjectives, only favor.
After all, in Ying Yi's impression, Bai Guan should be the one Su Tingyuan cares about the most since the establishment of Tianxialou, except for the one in the palace.
"Huh."
A chuckle came, although it was laughter, but the emotions in it were very complicated, so that people could not hear what the real emotions were like.
Lying on the soft couch, the golden silk soft pillow under Su Tingyuan was squeezed out of a strange shape by his body, he raised his eyebrows, and commented on the news of Ying Yi just now.
"Yes, interesting."
Ying Yi was given goosebumps by Su Tingyuan's words that he didn't know whether it was a compliment or connotation, and was about to ask out loud, but he didn't expect Su Tingyuan to speak first.
"Do I have any business scheduled for tomorrow?" Su Tingyuan asked.
"Nope."
Ying Yi shook his head, he heard the meaning of Su Tingyuan's words, his body stiffened slightly, and he asked in disbelief: "Your Highness, what do you mean......"
"Huh."
Su Tingyuan sneered, waved the paper in his hand, and made a rattling sound, but there was no emotional fluctuation in a pair of ink-like eyes, and said lightly:
"My ...... Queen Mother, don't you want to choose a concubine for our three princes? Although I have a marriage contract, if I go shopping, the queen mother should not have any opinions. ”
"Your Highness, but if that's the case......"
Ying Yi hesitated a little, if Su Tingyuan really did this, I'm afraid it wouldn't be ......
Su Tingyuan saw what he was thinking, raised his eyebrows, and said in a loud voice: "Didn't my queen mother want to make a big fuss?" Okay, then I'll help her. I just hope that when the time comes, she won't be too surprised! ”
kept saying that he was helping, but the ridicule in Su Tingyuan's tone was not hidden at all.
"Ugh."
Ying Yi finally understood what Su Tingyuan was thinking, sighed softly, and retreated.
In place, Su Tingyuan casually put the information aside, and there was a rare hint of playfulness in his eyes.
Bai Guan, let me see, your back hand.
……
Early the next morning, Bai Guan was still sleeping soundly in his dream, and he was shaken several times by Luomei and woke up by force.
"Miss, you really can't sleep anymore, you need to attack to meet the queen today, and you haven't picked out your clothes yet." Luomei frowned and reminded Bai Guan.
Luomei, as a maid, can be said to be heartbroken, and when she talks to Bai Guan, she looks like a worried old mother, for fear that Bai Guan will forget such a big event today.
Bai Guan was unwilling to live up to Luomei's hard work, and got up to wash while yawning.
Just this Baiguan washing effort, Luomei sent two dresses.
"Miss, these two sets are the two sets that I think are the most suitable after careful selection. Let's see, what outfit do you want to wear to meet the queen today? Luomei said, but she was beating the drum in her heart.
I don't know Miss...... Will she be angry because of her self-assertions. I hope not.
Bai Guan took the time to look at the two sets of dresses sent by Luomei.
A set of purple is very eye-catching, it is the kind that can be noticed at a glance, and it is also the favorite color of the original Baiguan.
But now she looks at it and feels a little too eye-catching, her original intention today is to be low-key and the best, if she is so public, I am afraid that she will provoke something not very good.
The other set selected by Luo Mei is pure white, without superfluous and cumbersome pattern carving, but a closer look can reveal the extraordinaryness of this dress.
The corners of the dress are embroidered with streamer silk, and when the wind blows gently and the clothes flutter, you can see these cranes embroidered on the corners of the skirt lifelike.
The second set of dresses is known to be expensive, and it is not an extraordinary product, just embroidering the flying crane on this skirt, I am afraid that it will take a month or two.
"It's a good set."
Bai Wan took a fancy to this set at a glance, and there was a touch of approval in his eyes, but he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"But...... How come I don't have any memories of this dress? Is it mine? ”
"It's yours, Miss."
The concealment was still discovered, and Luo Mei walked up and said truthfully: "It was sent by the eldest young master." ”
