Chapter 123

Tong Ji hurriedly wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and after kowtowing to King Liang, she choked up and said, "Since the master likes this big girl Bai, I must let Miss Chunyan do this for the master! Master... The little one has been by the master's side since I was a child, the master must not drive me away! Tong Ji will be obedient and obedient in the future, and will not cause trouble for His Highness!"

Liang Wang couldn't bear it, and said in a hoarse voice: "I won't drive you away after the matter is settled!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Tong Ji carefully put the letter into his arms, and retreated respectfully.

Although Tong Ji is useless in every way, King Liang still keeps Tong Ji by his side, just because of childhood love!

He spared no effort to bring the Bai family down from the altar, just to repay the kindness of Concubine Tong Gui and the second prince. This is the reason why Gao Sheng is willing to follow King Liang.

Gao Sheng glanced at King Liang, lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "Liu Huanzhang can't be brought into the palace, it's better for the subordinates to watch Liu Huanzhang in person, so as not to make any changes in him."

"Go..." Liang Wang clutched his chest tiredly, sat down on the chair, his face was uglier than before.

Bai Qingyan got up after sleeping for less than an hour.

Chuntao pulled up the curtain with a copper hook, looked at Bai Qingyan who was sitting beside the bed and put on her shoes, and said worriedly: "Young lady sleeps for more than an hour every day, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it!"

Waiting under the verandah, the maids carrying warm water copper basins, handkerchiefs, spittoons, and mouthwash soup filed in to wait for Bai Qingyan to get up and wash.

Chun Xing brought a row of girls carrying food boxes into the house to set up meals, and when Bai Qingyan changed her clothes and came out from behind the screen, Chun Xing led a group of girls and retreated out in an orderly manner.

Chun Tao filled a bowl of chicken soup and millet porridge for Bai Qingyan, put it in front of Bai Qingyan, and said in a low voice: "Not long after the eldest girl rested today, someone came to look for Chunyan, but Chunyan didn't go to see her. Zi said that the guards of Prince Liang's mansion are very generous, but they have a cold face, which is a bit scary."

It was expected, but Bai Qingyan was not surprised.

She lowered her head and took a sip of the light millet porridge, and warned: "Don't disturb Chunyan, keep a close eye on her, if there is any movement from her, come and report it anytime!"

"Your servant knows!" Chuntao nodded solemnly.

Chun Xing, who was waiting outside the door, saw Bai Jinxiu approaching, and quickly greeted her with a two-step salute: "Second Miss."

"Is the eldest sister awake?"

"That's right, the eldest girl is eating, I'm going to report..."

Before Chun Xing had time to open the curtain, she saw Chun Tao had already pulled out the curtain: "The eldest girl asked me to welcome the second girl! Chun Xing... asked someone to add some tableware for the second girl."

Chun Xing responded.

Bai Jinxiu handed the stove in her hand to Qing Shu, told Qing Shu to wait outside, and went into the house by herself.

Chuntao filled a bowl of millet porridge for Bai Jinxiu, then she left the upper room, letting the two sisters eat in peace.

She saw that Bai Jinxiu was frowning, holding the chopsticks and hadn't put down the chopsticks for a long time, and asked, "Worried about Qin Lang?"

"Eldest sister, Dali Temple Minister Lu Jin has no friendship with our Bai family, and now my Bai family has no males. Although Lu Jin has a good reputation, he is very popular...Will you help Qin Lang?" Bai Jinxiu frowned Wrinkled tightly, he looked sideways at Bai Qingyan.

"In the past, we lived in the back house and didn't know the past. It's normal for you to be worried." She put down her chopsticks, wiped her lips with a handkerchief, and slowly analyzed with Bai Jinxiu in a soft voice, "In the past few years In the battle for the throne, the courtiers tended to favor King Xin, who was born by the empress. King Xin was very popular, and it could even be said that if there was no matter in the southern border, according to the previous situation...the one who would win the position in the future would probably be King Xin! Those in the court will judge the situation Many ministers followed, but this Dali Temple Minister Lu Jin remained neutral and did not participate in it, and several times when people who believed in the king committed crimes against him, he was ruthless and merciless, and there are four reasons."

"First, this person still has integrity in his heart. Second, this person may have another master in his heart. Third, this person is well versed in the way a pure minister should stand in the officialdom. Fourth, this person has no ambition to make progress."

Bai Jinxiu put down the chopsticks in his hand, nodded, and said, "If you don't have the heart to make progress, how can you be promoted to Dali Temple Minister in just a few years?"

She nodded: "First of all, if this Lu Jin has integrity, he will protect the son-in-law of the Bai family for the sake of the loyal son of the Bai family protecting the country and the people! Second, in Lu Jin's heart... the righteous and popular son Xin Wang is not the master, then... either Lu Jin has a great desire for profit, and what he wants is the merits of the dragon! For the sake of the princess, she would also be willing to betray the Duke’s government! Either he despises the character of trusting the king, such a person must have integrity in his heart.”

"If he knows how to be a pure minister, he can't participate in party struggles, and can't participate in the fight for the heir. Although King Xin has been demoted to a commoner now, who in the credible palace's staff is willing to sink with the big ship of King Xin? The staff must have tried their best to make a fuss about the matter of food and grass in an attempt to stand up for King Xin, do you think Lu Jin would be willing to be the blade in King Xin's hands?"

After Bai Jinxiu listened carefully to Bai Qingyan's broken analysis for her, her face was stunned, and she was horrified in her heart: "Eldest sister, you have calculated people's hearts so carefully."

The plain white lanterns and plain onyxes hung in the verandah fluttered, and the inside of the house was covered with a brazier with a carved copper cover... The charcoal fire was flickering and flickering, but the quiet needle drop could be heard.

She held Bai Jinxiu's hand tightly, and exhorted in a low voice: "This metropolis covered with a layer of prosperity is actually no different from the southern border battlefield! There are real swords and guns, bloody battles, and in the rain of swords, guns and arrows, only Those who are lonely and brave will die, and those who are brave and resourceful will win! The metropolis is full of conspiracies and tricks, intrigues and deceptions, those who are blinded by the bustling, drunk and dreamy, die, can be counted as complete, and those who are good at judging people's hearts win. Splendid...you stay in the metropolis, It must be harder than my third sister!"

Ever since she learned that her grandfather, father, uncle and all her brothers had died in Nanjiang, Bai Jinxiu clearly felt for the first time... from now on, no one will protect them and spoil them.

In the past, there were elder brothers, why did the elder sister need to be so scheming? !

Elder Sister didn't say that she was wrong in every word, but she already knew where she was wrong...

That day the eldest sister taught Xiao Si a lesson, she had already said that the Bai family was like facing a deep abyss in the middle of the night, but she didn't take this deep into her bones.

It's not that the eldest sister calculated too carefully, but that she thought too superficially.

Today, not only is there no room for Xiao Si to act rashly, there is also no room for her to be as lazy as before... When things happen, she refuses to think over and over again, and just let it go.

Now the eldest sister is still in Dadu... but she will be the only one left in the future.

Bai Jinxiu felt as if she had bitten a sour apricot, she got up and saluted Bai Qing: "Today is Jinxiu... I'm thinking too much! I will never do it again in the future, elder sister don't worry!"

"Okay, let's eat!" She stretched out her hand and pulled Bai Jinxiu to sit down.

Xiao Rongyan: A day without drama is a day when I miss my daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law does not have me in her heart, only the Bai family and the world.

Bai Jinzhi: Then the brother-in-law will take the world as his employment!

Xiao Rongyan: Xiao Si is polite! I reward you with a golden whip.
