Chapter Seventy-One: A Slap in the Face

Bai Xiyun thought for a while, and did not refuse, nor was he as grateful to Dade as the rest of the courtiers, but just said seriously: "If you don't say it, if the minister wins two games in three games today, he will also ask." You don't have any jokes. ”

Emperor Hui was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily: "Okay, okay, when you say that, I have some afterthoughts?"

"No, the emperor remembered this matter, and he didn't mean to delay. ”

Emperor Hui laughed again.

Wan Guifei couldn't help but loosen her clenched hand, and then she realized that her palms were sweating for a moment. Looking at Bai Xiyun's eyes, his eyes were slightly complicated, and he sighed with relief.

Among the princes, the second prince who is the most favored by the emperor, he didn't dare to speak like this in front of Emperor Hui, Bai Xiyun was so right to the emperor's appetite, Xu is the first line of freedom in the dark, and the emperor is also destined for this child.

Emperor Hui said with a smile: "The gentleman has made a promise, since he has really agreed, he will definitely fulfill his promise, be famous, and pass on my will." ”

The great eunuch Su Mingbo came close and bowed down to write it down.

"Bai Xiyun, the prince of Feng'an Luhou, is the young master of the crown prince, and he can assist the prince after he is established, and he can walk in the East Palace. ”

Bai Xiyun got up and saluted when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the ministers are sparse and shallow, how can they be listed as one of the three orphans?"

"I'm not a good learner, I think you're good. Are you the eye of the will?"

"I don't dare. Bai Xiyun groaned slightly. Although the prince and young master have the right to speak, he has no real power, he is just hand-picked by the emperor in advance. And he used to be the companion of the second prince, and now he ......

It can be seen that the emperor has already decided on the choice of the prince, and he also borrowed his life to give a blow to the civil and military officials.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiyun saluted and said, "Thank you to the emperor for his grace." ”

The emperor smiled and twisted his beard, and said: "You are now a second-rank official, so you will be named the second-class county lady." The emperor thought about it, and said: "An Luhou is now in the Ministry of Industry with a position from the fourth grade, but now you are a son and have become a second grade." There is only your grandmother in your house who has the title of Mrs. Youguo. Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

It seems that the emperor knows everything about the Bai family.

The first lady of this dynasty is the lady of the country, and the second lady is the lady of the county. The old lady is a first-class person, Qi Miao is a second-class person, and Mrs. An Luhou is just a fourth-class person. And the official position of being a son is two grades higher than that of being a father, so I don't know how many streets he has been thrown......

Aren't Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao driven out? Then let Bai Xiyun's official position be higher than his unobtrusive father, and Qi Miao's title is higher than her ruthless mother-in-law.

Isn't Mrs. An Luhou able to take away Qinyuan's monthly money? Then let the prince and the young master and his wife both eat the heavenly family's money!

Gonggong Su hurriedly wrote it down, and he was about to prepare a message.

Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao walked with a big gift: "Thank you for the emperor's love." There is nothing to repay. ”

"Get up. Emperor Hui smiled and said: "Who said that you can't repay it? Zijin came to play chess with me, and in the future, he would be a good student to assist the prince, and as for Mrs. Qi, he would prepare medicinal food, and this would be the reward." And I am extremely accurate in looking at people, and what I give today is nothing more than giving in advance. I believe that the actions of the two of you are not limited to this. ”

"The emperor is so loving, and the ministers are terrified and grateful. The couple saluted again.

Wan Guifei kept smiling and watching.

The second prince had a complicated complexion.

When Gonggong Su went to draw up his will, Emperor Hui was playing the second game of chess with Bai Xiyun, but he just casually ordered: "Send it to the Bai family." Remember, let the prince and his wife take the order in person. ”

Isn't the person here for you?

Father-in-law Su immediately realized his intentions and bowed and retreated.

Bai Xiyun raised his eyes and smiled gratefully at the emperor, and killed him fiercely, eating fifteen pieces.

Huidi ......

"Zijin, I have supported you like this, but you have no mercy on your hands. ”

"Back to the emperor, you like to play chess with your ministers, isn't it because your ministers dare to win against you? ”

Emperor Hui was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly.

When the two of them were in full swing, the second prince quietly withdrew from the hall, and when they arrived at the side hall, they saw Wan Guifei sitting on the soft couch by the window and looking out of the open lattice fan with one hand.

Outside the window is a spacious and flat courtyard paved with blue bricks in front of Yongshou Palace. Under the carving of the eaves, the palace maids dressed in light green palace clothes stood with their hands down and waited for orders, the lotus flowers in the vat were about to bloom, and the green plants in the ceramic pots were lush and lush.

Other than that, there is only a clear blue sky above the red wall and green tiles.

There is really nothing to see about such a view, and I am tired of seeing it.

But Wan Guifei often likes to look at the outside in a daze.

"Mother. The second prince came to salute.

Wan Guifei came back to her senses, smiled and took the second prince's hand and asked him to sit down beside her.

Concubine Wan Guifei was born young, and she was on par with Qi Miao's appearance, and now she looked at the second prince lovingly, patted her son's shoulder with her bare hand, and said with a smile and whispered: "Your good days are ahead." ”

The second prince was shocked, and his face turned red.

"Mother, my son has no ......"

"What you think in your heart, the concubine knows. Wan Guifei said in a low voice: "Don't worry, you are the prince." ”

One sentence extinguished the jealousy that had arisen in the second prince's heart.

In the past, he only pitied Bai Xiyun, who had such a good mind, but he didn't have a good body, let alone a good family. He helps everywhere, one is for the righteousness of his friends, and the other is for the filial piety of Wan Guifei, after all, Bai Xiyun is Wan Guifei's righteous son, and Wan Guifei also likes this sick and poor child very much.

But in recent days, his feelings for Bai Xiyun have changed.

He greeted such a beautiful and gentle woman, and today he showed his talent again, not only as proficient as an ordinary daughter's family, but also with excellent medical skills, which made both Doctor Liu and Doctor Qu appreciate. also got the advice of Wan Guifei, you can go to the hospital at any time, which is already an honor earned by ability.

Such a beautiful and desirable woman is still a talented woman, and he is really envious.

And the father emperor does not like Bai Xiyun ordinarily. actually sealed him the official position of the second grade, and even brought the title of the second rank of the Qi family's wife.

And every move, it seems to be helping them slap that group of people in the face.

The people of the Bai family are not kind, and he has always been helping his friends.

I didn't expect my father to help them, and the force of the slap in the face was much greater than his.

He was even more jealous. Bai Xiyun has such a ability, he expected it, but because of the combination of the two reasons, he couldn't help but be jealous.

But his mother's words woke him up.

He is the prince.

Moreover, Bai Xiyun's official position is the prince and young master, one of the three orphans and a close minister of the East Palace, and now the emperor has not yet established a prince, Bai Xiyun is his companion and friend since childhood......

What this means is already clear.

The second prince's face was red, and he nodded at the empathetic Wan Guifei: "Mother, my son knows." My son understands that you are all for me. ”

"It's good that you know. Wan Guifei lowered her voice and said: "This palace used to pity that child, but now I feel that he may be able to act with you and borrow from each other." Although you are not brothers, one is the beloved son of this palace, and the other is the righteous son of this palace, and now they are both the most blessed of all. ”

Concubine Wan Guifei didn't like to speak too thoroughly, so when it came to this, she didn't say much, but just looked at the second prince with a smile.

Such words were enough to make the second prince's heart boil.

"Yes, my son can figure it out, and besides, helping Zijin is also helping himself. ”

Concubine Wan Guifei patted the second prince on the shoulder again, and said with a smile: "The concubine knows that you like a talented and beautiful woman like the Qi family, and she is already looking for a candidate for the concubine for you." ”

The second prince's face turned into a boiled crab, but his heart was slammed by her.

Like?

He likes Qi's ......

"The Mother ......"

"You are the son of the concubine, how can the concubine not understand you. With such a look and such a talent, it is difficult for any man not to be moved. Besides, she has a good temperament. If you are single-minded about Zijin, you will naturally yearn for it. You can rest assured that the mother will find a better candidate for you. You're my baby. ”

All conversations between the two of them were conducted in low voices. Even the palace people serving on the side couldn't really hear it, and the last sigh was a sigh in the heart of the second prince.

The second prince only felt warm in his heart, and took Wan Guifei's hand and shook it, "Mother." You're so nice. ”

"It's so big and coquettish. Where is the usual melancholy and loneliness of Concubine Wan, and her smile is warm, as if it can melt the winter snow: "Go quickly, accompany your father." ”

"Yes. The second prince knew that she was thinking about herself, so he saluted and went into the house.

At this time, I looked at the fight on the chessboard, and then looked at the face that made the emperor laugh and Bai Xiyun didn't get back together but could get the emperor like it, and I didn't feel unpleasant, but I felt that I would also be in the East Palace in the future, and it was a good thing that my young master could be so close to his father.

Qi Miao has been busy in the imperial dining room for a long time, and has prepared all the medicinal meals prepared for Bai Xiyun, the emperor and Wan Guifei, and also prepared a separate one for the second prince. Although I haven't seen the pulse of the second prince, I didn't delay making a pot of mixed porridge that is suitable for everyone to eat.

Otherwise, the emperor, the concubine and Bai Xiyun all have it, and only the second prince will be left behind, which is not like words.

The index finger of the emperor at lunch moved, and in the porridge was a white fish with thorns removed, and the medicinal herbs prepared by Qi Miao were added, which had a faint medicinal fragrance, but the taste was excellent. And taste it carefully, there is also a faint floral fragrance.

Even Wan Guifei used an extra bowl of flower and fruit porridge for lunch. After eating, I only felt warm in my belly, and my whole body was never so warm.

The second prince finished eating a casserole of mixed porridge by himself, as if his whole body was full of strength, and his mind not only sketched the appearance of Qi Miao when he was carefully cooking in the kitchen, but also raised his eyes to look at her.

Qi Miao was preparing vegetables for Bai Xiyun, and the long hair on her sideburns was a little messy, but her face was as difficult to draw as if it was carved from white jade.

He hurriedly lowered his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but thump again.
