Chitose words

Governor's Mansion of Bai Da, Pine Garden.

"Pine Garden" is the outermost courtyard in the inner courtyard of Bai Mansion.

There is only a wall between the outer courtyard "Caiyuan" and the outer courtyard "Caiyuan" where the powerful ministers of Zhaoge are being entertained for the banquet today.

Because of this, Governor Bai, who was tired from entertaining guests in Baiyuan, came to Pine Garden to take a rest.

Accompanying Bai Mengxian, the head of the Bai family and the governor of Tianchen, in this garden is Bai Rusong, the eldest grandson of the Bai family and the emperor's concubine, Princess Taiping.

Bai Rusong first respectfully handed his grandfather a cup of qi-replenishing ginseng tea, and then said with a smile:
"Today, almost all the prominent adults in Zhaoge City came to our Governor's Mansion.

It can be seen that your prestige, grandfather, is growing day by day. "

Opposite him was an old man with neatly combed silver hair.

The old man raised his hand to take the tea cup, took a sip, and then said calmly:

"They are just people who follow the trend. There is no one who can really shake up Zhaoge with just a stomp of his feet. Today, none of them are here."

Bai Rusong frowned.

"Grandpa, you mean Shentai Palace and the Xie family?"

Bo Meng first put down the tea cup and smiled, and said: "Song'er, what are you thinking about?
The Shentai Palace has always been aloof from the world and would never come. This governor had already expected it in his heart.

As for the Xie family in Xunyang, if a member of the Xie family really comes to our Bai family's birthday banquet, the governor will be frightened and even the birthday banquet will be uneasy.

What I just talked about are those Qingliu nobles with truly profound foundations. "

Bai Rusong asked in confusion: "But there are also many civil servants and noble families attending the banquet today.

For example, the number one scholar the year before last and now the editor of the Hanlin Academy also came in person to write inscriptions to celebrate his grandfather's birthday. "

Bai Mengxian had a hint of disdain on his face, and his words were also a bit unkind.

Of course, given his current status, it is understandable to say so.

"A humble student from a wealthy family, who wants to pounce on him to fawn over him, how can he be considered a pure bachelor?
Although I can't say absolutely that the people attending the banquet today are overwhelmingly people who are just seeking profit.

Now that your grandfather and I are in power, they naturally fawn over you and wish they could kneel down and pick up the shoes.

But if one day our Bai family becomes weak, I am afraid that most of the people attending the banquet today would like to add insult to injury immediately and step on our Bai family's feet, leaving them to do it themselves.

Their current flattery and apology are worthless, the Sacred Heart is the most important thing. "

Unexpectedly, when Bai Rusong heard this, he frowned subconsciously, as if he had some difficulty, and stopped talking:
"But grandfather, now it is increasingly difficult for my grandson to guess His Majesty's holy will."

Although he was the emperor's "brother-in-law" in name, in fact he almost never dared to play the role of "brother-in-law".

One reason is that his wife, Princess Taiping, is just the emperor’s concubine’s sister;

The second reason is naturally that the relationship between the emperor and all his brothers and sisters is not very close;
As for the third one, the Bai family is indeed in some unexplainable embarrassment with His Majesty’s mother clan, the Xunyang Xie family.

What's more, the power of God is unpredictable, so what can even His Majesty's close relatives, whose blood is thicker than water, do?

Not in the end.
Don't die well.

At this point, Governor Bo Mengxian also fell silent.

After a while, the Grand Governor of the Tianchen Dynasty sighed, shook his head slightly and said:
"Previously, I had never thought that His Majesty was such an emperor with such great ideas and majesty. However, I misjudged him at first."

Bai Rusong was a little worried.

"Grandpa, what should we do? The left minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, who didn't get along well with his grandson, has been repeatedly praised by your majesty in the past two days. Isn't your majesty blatantly disrespecting our Bai family?"

Governor Bai Da was cunning and could see clearly. He just smiled lightly and comforted his grandson:
"Silly boy, His Majesty crawled out of the belly of the Xie family after all. He is not the same traveler as the Bai family. Do you really expect His Majesty to treat you as his brother-in-law?"

His face was calm and peaceful, just like the most ordinary, compassionate old man, but there was a glint in his eyes.

"Originally, I thought that with the incident involving Princess Tianchen, Your Majesty would lose his greatest reliance.

And if Mr. Xie finds out about this one day, he will definitely estrange from His Majesty sooner or later.

At this point, Your Majesty can only rely on our Bai family.who knows
Sure enough, the younger brother of the 'Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal' is not an ordinary person.

Even the governor was surprised that his wrist was so powerful that he could mend the sky that had almost collapsed.

It seems that except for Prince Xunyang who was slightly aware of the incident, no one else has any clues. Our little Majesty is really amazing. "

Emperor Jing is definitely worthy of the saying "rarely ambitious, deep-minded, ruthless in his methods."

Bo Rusong frowned deeply. He was not as optimistic as his grandfather Bo Mengxian.

"But Grandpa, Your Majesty has been repeatedly rejecting your proposals in court for more than a year. Is it because of the incident with the eldest princess that he already has a grudge against us?"

Bai Mengxian gently turned the beads on his wrist with his fingers, chuckled and said:

"If I said no, would you believe me? After all, she is the biological sister of the same mother, and she has protected him for so many years.

All of a sudden, he just said no and he was gone. He suffered so many little bits and pieces of sin before he left. Tsk. How pitiful. "

When Bai Rusong heard this, his whole body trembled.

His grandfather was right.
If Princess Tianchen had not suffered much and had "left" in such a dignified manner, your Majesty might not have found it so difficult to accept.

But the eldest princess died in such an ignominy way, and the tragedy of that night was clearly visible to her eyes.

It is estimated that even people like the Bai family who participated in this incident were angered and secretly hated by His Majesty.

What's more, this matter turned out to be such a big mistake. His Majesty's original intention was just to imprison him, not to issue a killing order.

In the end, it ended with such a tragic and bloody ending, which caught all of them off guard.

Bai Rusong's face was ashen, but at the same time he felt a little aggrieved and aggrieved.

"But we were clearly acting under orders. Later, when things got out of control, it was not the fault of those of us who were doing the work. His Majesty was clearly venting his anger."

Bo Mengxian understood clearly, he laughed and said: "Song'er, do you want to reason with the emperor?

Grandfather tells you the truth, if His Majesty Chitose is still alive, then His Majesty will always feel uncomfortable as if there is a lump in his throat;
But if Chitose is really dead, I'm afraid His Majesty will also be deeply troubled and restless.

It was precisely because the eldest princess was gone that His Majesty forgot all his previous dissatisfaction and resentment towards this sister.

Now, he was afraid that the guilt and self-blame in his heart had already suppressed all the previous complaints against her.

Now, all he could recall was the protection and kindness shown to him by His Highness Chitose - he felt uncomfortable in his heart, so naturally he had to find an 'exit' to take over and transfer this part of the 'pain' in his heart.

And those who acted under orders back then were the best 'exits' to bear the wrath of His Majesty's thunder.

You should be lucky that you are from the Bai family, and His Majesty cannot touch us now, otherwise."

Bo Meng shook his head and laughed.

"It's ridiculous to say that now that everyone is gone, what's the point of acting like this?

——Belated repentance is even more despicable than an ant. "
