Chapter 13 Borrowing
At the same time, in the library of the Hou Mansion, in front of Bai Fengqi stood Bai Wanrou and Chen Ru.
The two of them are already talented and beautiful women when they don't stand together, and now they are side by side, and they look like a pair of beautiful people.
Bai Fengqi sighed, her own girl has a good vision, she didn't see the wrong person, but it's a pity, if she can't get the favor of her husband's family in an in-law, Bai Wanrou is destined to be difficult to survive.
Thinking that there was still a moon in the palace, waiting to grab his daughter's place, Bai Fengqi's eyes turned cold in an instant, and the coldness in it seemed to be able to freeze a living person half to death.
"Confucianism, you have been busy with political affairs recently, and I know that you are tired, and you have never made any excessive requests, but the concubine of my Hou Mansion is held in the palm of my hand and petted, and now in your mansion, it is really difficult for me not to worry."
The meaning of his words was actually obvious, because Bai Fengqi did not ignore it, and when he heard his words, Chen Ruzhi's first reaction was to frown.
He knew that he had already understood what he meant, but he still needed some small coercion and temptation, otherwise he was afraid that Chen Ruzhi would forget about himself in the blink of an eye after returning to the palace.
"Then again, the prince has been on the rise recently, almost on a par with my Hou Mansion, and the situation in the court is turbulent, I wonder what the prince thinks about this?"
seems to be discussing political affairs, but in fact, it is just a different way to persuade Chen Ruzhi to treat Bai Wanrou well.
Seeing that the topic of conversation between the two of them was getting more and more biased, Bai Wanrou went from being able to understand a few words at the beginning to not understanding anything later, only feeling that she seemed to be listening to the explanation of the wordless heavenly book, surrounded by Venus in front of her.
At this moment, Bai Qingting pushed the door in, "Father, I don't know if I can borrow someone from you?" Because Bai Qingyao said that my sister is here, I want to say a few words to her. ”
Bai Fengqi naturally agreed to this without saying a word, not to mention that the topic he discussed with Chen Ruzhi was quite sensitive, even if Bai Wanrou heard it, it was not a good thing.
Outside the door, Bai Qingting took Bai Wanrou's hand with great interest, trotted in the darkness for a moment, and then stopped under a plane tree, the faces of the two of them were slightly obscured by the hanging leaves, and at this moment only the tip of the iceberg of the stunning face was revealed.
"Sister, although this Chen Ruzhi is a good person, it is not worthy of your life, if you return to the palace to make a living in the future, you must not lower your status."
Obviously, he already knew what Bai Wanrou had experienced before, and for the sake of the moon, she even went to do the most despised and lowly affairs.
When Bai Qingting learned the news at that time, he couldn't believe that this was something that that the noble lady could do.
You must know that Bai Wanrou is the object of the group's doting in the Hou Mansion, and she just can't wait to give her the sun, moon and stars in the sky.
The status of such a person in the palace has plummeted, and even the maidservant can smack her, what a gap!
The more Bai Qingting thought about it, the more he felt that there was anger in his heart that needed to be vented urgently, but looking at the quiet smile of his sister in front of him, he calmed down a little for a while.
"Knowing Brother Qingting, you treat me so well, I don't know how to repay you in the future."
Seeing her hippie smiling face, Bai Qingting knew that she had listened to half of those words at most, and she was afraid that she would forget them all in a blink of an eye.
That's it, let her sister's affairs go with her, no matter what, the Hou Mansion will always be the strongest support behind her.
At that time, Bai Fengqi's attitude towards Chen Ruzhi was the same as him, "I don't care about you rushing over the wall today, but if you treat Wanrou badly in the future, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people." ”
Chen Ruzhi didn't take his threat to heart, he was clearly still relying on the strength of the Hou Mansion, and every word he said was like a big husband.
"If Miss Bai feels that she has been wronged in my palace, why bother to let your old man talk to me here?"
Heli has a great impact on a girl, how can he implement it with a joke?
When Bai Fengqi heard this, her face didn't improve, but she couldn't do anything with him, after all, her daughter knew best, and Bai Wanrou's love for Chen Ruzhi was engraved in her bones.
In the end, he only gave a few words of advice, and let Chen Ruzhi out of the library.
Seeing Chen Ruzhi's face full of discomfort and suppressed anger, Bai Qingting was a little jumpy, and immediately entered the study pavilion.
"Father, you said that my sister has changed so much when she comes back this time, and even Chen Ruzhi, who has always been my favorite, doesn't pay so much attention to it, why is it?"
Bai Fengqi sighed, he had already expected Bai Qingting to ask this question, "I think Wanrou should have suffered in the palace recently, so she can wake up." ”
When he said this, he only felt that his whole head was in pain like a drum, and he had been doting on his daughter, who had been in pain, how could he become the object of Chen Ruzhi's mouth that he didn't even need to think about it.
Bai Qingting was angry because of this sentence, and he was young and vigorous, so he wanted to catch the carriage and pull Chen Ruzhi down, so he had to talk about this matter well.
Fortunately, when he was about to step out of the threshold of the Book Pavilion, he was stopped by Bai Fengqi, and the two looked at each other, although they also disliked Chen Ruzhi, Bai Fengqi also had to persuade Bai Qingting.
"You and I should not interfere in this matter anymore, first, Chen Ruzhi's strength has become stronger and stronger, and we should not tear our faces at this moment; The second is that I believe in Wanrou's ability, she will definitely make Chen Ruzhi come to the Hou Mansion willingly in the future. ”
Bai Qingting's fists were clenched, but when he heard this, he could only retreat, and he still had an irrepressible indignation in his heart.
On the carriage that was gradually moving away from the Hou Mansion, Bai Wanrou lifted the curtain on her side and looked at it, and then said: "The prince has a lot of opportunities, I never thought that there would be time to come to my Bai Mansion today." ”
As for the reason why Chen Ruzhi came to the mansion, she was naturally curious in her heart, so she planned to ask on the side.
"Heh, after all, it can't compare to Bai Hou's strength, and I know whether the princess is doing well in the palace, but I'm afraid I don't know who is secretly spreading the news."
Bai Wanrou looked sideways slightly, of course she knew that her father had left Chen Ruzhi there to give some instructions, but she never expected that he would be able to see that his life in the palace was miserable.
Can...... As Bai Fengqi, there is no need to put any eyeliner in the palace at all, what is going on?
Before Bai Wanrou could understand this, she heard the person sitting next to her take the initiative to speak, "Then again, does Bai Hou have plans to travel in the near future?" ”
Chen Ruzhi obviously wanted to know Bai Fengqi's whereabouts.
But Bai Wanrou didn't know that it was one thing, even if she really knew, she would never reveal it to Chen Ruzhi, and she couldn't be too hasty before she figured out his intentions.
So she thought about it again and again, and in Chen Ruzhi's tentative gaze that kept glancing over, she only said ambiguously: "If you want to know about this, wouldn't it be good to go back to the Hou Mansion to find your father, why bother to ask me?" ”
Chen Ruzhi sneered, their father and daughter were really carved out of a mold, not only did he not get any information from Bai Fengqi, but even Bai Wanrou was tight-lipped.
He was depressed in his heart, and he was in a bad mood by the Bai family's father and son all day today, so he didn't want to continue to endure it at this time, and sneered.
"I really found a good princess for myself, and after passing the door, I only care about my mother's family, which is really filial."
Bai Wanrou's heart suddenly felt like being stabbed by a blade, as if the blood in her heart had been drained a little bit, and even her breathing was a little unsmooth.
She kept taking a deep breath, holding back the tears in her already reddened eyes, and said as if seriously: "If the prince really wants to know, you might as well make a deal with me, okay?" ”
Although Chen Ruzhi expected that she must have some small abacus in her heart, due to the strong desire in his heart, he finally agreed.
"I told the prince about my father's arrangement, and the prince will drive Yueyi out of the palace, if you are willing, I will do what I say."
Chen Ruzhi sneered, this woman is really a femme fatale, and she always remembers to seek her own interests.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Bai Wanrou was not worthy of the position of princess, but he was afraid of the forces behind her, and he was not able to divorce his wife for a while.
"The princess's wishful thinking is really loud, but it's a pity, I don't think this deal is cost-effective."
Bai Wanrou's tears flowed in her eyes for a moment, and finally they fell unbearably, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, although her eyes were slightly red, they looked like normal people.
"I'm afraid it's far less shameful than the prince, who doesn't like me as a princess, why use me to completely squeeze me out of me?"
She said Chen Ruzhi speechless, angry in her heart, she didn't want to fall in front of this woman, but she couldn't piece together a rebuttal sentence with words, so she had to endure it in her heart.
The carriage maintained such an awkward and stalemate atmosphere, and continued to walk slowly on the bustling street.
Suddenly, Bai Wanrou, who had calmed down, only felt a fragrance in her nose, which quickly drifted into the air in the car, and it seemed that every wisp of breath was dyed with a bit of sweetness.
Her eyes lit up, it was the sugar-fried chestnuts she had eaten when she deliberately dragged Chen Ruzhi onto the street this morning!
The smell made her salivate, and even though she had eaten a large portion in the morning, she still felt that she was hooked by the sweetness when she smelled it.
She leaned forward slightly, and said to the coachman who was in control of the carriage, "Please find a place in front of me and stop for a while, I want to go down and buy a fried chestnut with sugar." ”
Hearing this, Chen Ruzhi only felt that the evil breath that he had been stuffing in his heart could finally come out, he sat in place and did not move, directly raised his volume, and said to the coachman: "Don't listen to her, just go back to the palace." ”
Bai Wanrou looked at him, her eyes were full of displeasure, just like Chen Ruzhi's eyes when she first arrived at the palace.
The coachman was ordered by both men at the same time, and for a moment he did not know what he should do.
Bai Wanrou had no choice but to say again: "As the princess of the palace, am I not qualified to order you to stop the carriage?" ”
The coachman was startled and immediately controlled the carriage in a sparsely populated area.
