The favorite wife of the black-bellied prime minister

Chapter 207 Defrauding the Map
Bai Lijing frowned and said: "Then, why not tell Father and let Father decide..."

"No need!" Empress Situ interrupted her, and she glanced at Baili Jing with her sharp phoenix eyes: "What's the use of telling your father? If your father didn't acquiesce in everything today, how would those old ministers dare to do it? Telling these things to your father, wouldn't it make it more obvious that our Situ family has plots? Now everyone in the court thinks that the seventh prince will be the crown prince in the future, and there are countless people in the Li family. Jing'er, do you know why Han Ye gave up on you? Choose the girl born to Li Ji?"

Before Bai Lijing could answer, Empress Situ had already said: "Maybe it's not that he doesn't like you, but he just likes power more. Now that the Li family is in full swing, he chose the princess of the Li family. With a bright future ahead of him, there's no need to do it for a You lost the whole world. When your father is a hundred years later, the Seventh Prince will be crowned as a great treasure. Relying on his nepotism, his Han family will be able to dominate the government and the people, and they will no longer have to hang around the bitter cold places in northern Xinjiang. As long as you abandon one, so Why doesn't he do something that is easy to do? The vows made by each other are worthless in front of power and status."

After Empress Situ finished speaking, she never looked at Bailijing, but leaned over to pick a blooming red peony flower with great interest, put it to her nose and sniffed it, it seemed that these words were already commonplace from her mouth , nothing worth emotional ups and downs, just waiting to give her daughter a slap in the face.

After a while, she didn't hear Bai Lijing's voice. Empress Situ looked back, but she was surprised to find that her daughter's expression was calm, and she didn't look hysterical, so she laughed: "This time, you didn't cry?"

Bai Lijing looked directly at her mother without evasion: "When my mother said this, I thought I should feel better, but I didn't feel better. Mother, if you think you want to lose, you should lose." Give power, or should I lose to love? If Han Ye left me because of love, although I was crying and complaining, but thinking about it later, he at least gave my love respect, he is still a good person. But If Han Ye leaves me because of power, even if he still loves me in his heart, then he doesn't deserve my love again."

Empress Situ listened fascinated, and smiled: "What's the difference? Anyway, I don't love you. Jing'er, if you think like this, it's just an excuse for yourself. He has already left you. That person Good or bad, what does it matter to you?"

Bailijing was bitter in her heart, and felt that the queen mother was too cruel. She always uncovered her scars for herself to see clearly, but this seemed to change the topic. Bailijing reacted and asked carefully "Queen, since the Li family is so rampant and I am a daughter, what should the Situ family do in the future?"

This question made the smile on Empress Situ's face disappear. Her phoenix eyes quietly watched Bailijing for a while, then turned to the palace wall that could not be overcome, and said after a long while: "Well, it depends on what your father wants." ..."

The queen mother's answer was very bleak and helpless, which made Bai Lijing feel that this powerful female general had many worries and reluctance. But, in this life, has the queen mother ever entrusted her fate to others' hands?

Lin Cenzhi's stay at the inn was really boring. In the middle of the morning, someone came from the Jinyang Palace and said that he was invited to the mansion as a guest. Although Lin Cenzhi was reluctant, but caring about the friendship between his seniors and brothers, he still did not refuse. Then he got on the sedan chair and went.

But when he arrived at Jinyang Prince's Mansion, he realized that it was not the senior brother Han Ye who invited him, but Princess Luo.

Princess Ding'an Baililuo was still as gentle and friendly as when she first met him, and she went out to meet him in person, but Lin Cenzhi didn't know what she was going to do, and she was still confused when she entered the main hall.The maids served the tea, and Baililuo didn't go round and say something, but got straight to the point: "Third Junior Brother, it's a bit abrupt to invite you to the house this time, it's really an unfeeling invitation." I want Third Junior Brother to help me."

Lin Cenzhi put down the teacup, stood up politely and said, "I don't dare to help, Princess Luo, please tell me straight up, if you can do it, Lin Cenzhi will definitely do his best."

Baililuo's complexion changed a little, and he said sadly: "Third junior brother still treat me as an outsider. You said last time that it's good to call me sister-in-law. Since I'm married to your senior brother, we are all from our own family. There is no need to perform these courtesies. Sit down quickly."

"Yes." Lin Cenzhi agreed, and sat down uncomfortably.

Baililuo sighed, but the smile was still on her face. Seeing Lin Cenzhi looking at her, she opened her mouth and said, "Your elder brother doesn't talk much, maybe he hasn't told you yet that I'm pregnant, so he just said I'm going to be a father soon."

Lin Cenzhi was so surprised that he couldn't hold the cup in his hand securely. Eldest brother is going to be a father?The news was so sudden, I don't know what Jing Xiaobai's reaction would be.This time, whether it's Lin Cenzhi or Jing Xiaobai, it's time to completely give up on the elder brother, right?But after he realized it, Lin Cenzhi still smiled and blessed him, "Congratulations to senior brother and sister-in-law."

Baililuo sighed, put her hands on her lower abdomen, and said with a melancholy expression: "It should be a good thing to have a child, but your elder brother has not been happy at all these days." She said, watching Lin Cen Afterwards, seeing Lin Cenzhi frowning, seemingly puzzled, Baililuo continued: "You also know that your elder brother has always been reluctant to say anything, and he seems very stable, but what am I? The person next to him is the closest to him, and I know his thoughts the most. These days, he can't sleep well every night, and he always has nightmares, saying that he dreamed of Lutai Mountain, dreaming that your brothers are on Lutai Mountain Happy days, and said, dreaming of sister Jinger, and your master..."

Baililuo's words were sincere and moving. This time, Lin Cenzhi's guard was removed. He lowered his eyes and continued to listen to Baililuo's sincere words: "Is it true that we live together? Even if he and Sister Jing'er couldn't get married, he and Sister Jing'er had loved each other once, how could those days be written off? Even if I were his wife, I couldn't replace Sister Jing'er in his heart all those years However, although your eldest brother is considerate, he doesn’t know how to take care of himself. These words will definitely not be said to you in person. It’s just that he is so unhappy now, and I feel very distressed. Now that I am pregnant, I'm thinking about these things more and more, whether it's for the child or for your elder brother, I should have the shame to beg my third junior brother once."

Lin Cen's heart was soft, and he was moved by Baililuo's words, and those prejudices caused by Jing Xiaobai also accepted, and his attitude was obviously much gentler: "Sister-in-law, you are polite, Lin Cen is immoral and incompetent, I don't know how to help you." What's wrong with my sister-in-law."

Baililuo smiled slightly, and his expression was still lovable: "I have already thought about it, and I will go to sister Jing'er to ask her for forgiveness. We are sisters after all, so it's good to have something clear. Your elder brother respects the teacher Re-education, these years of practicing in Lutai Mountain, the most important thing in my heart is your master's family. I married your elder brother in a hurry, and even your master and his elders didn't know about it. It's a big rebellion. So, I thought, If I can seek Master's understanding and forgiveness for your elder brother, our marriage will be truly consummated, and the child in my belly will grow up safely."
