Chapter 262 Pressure
The prince hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor: "Father is my son's heaven. Even if my son dies, I must not lie to my father! Besides, my son's life and position as prince are all given by my father. Even if the emperor wants to take it all back, my son, as a son of man, must not complain, so how dare he deceive the emperor with false words!"
The emperor looked at the prince kneeling on the ground very satisfied, and nodded with a smile: "Get up! Father knows you are a good boy!"
The crown prince's eyes became hotter, he looked up at the emperor, and called out with a sob: "Father."
"Last time you secretly asked for the position of a princess for Bai Qingyan, it's not impossible. But now that Bai Qingyan has been subdued by you, you never thought about letting her stay in the court for your use ?” asked the emperor staring at the water.
"There has never been a precedent for a woman to be an official in my court. Although I also value Bai Qingyan's talent, if I give her the position of military officer, I am afraid that I will be criticized by all the officials. I will definitely embarrass my father, so I dismissed this idea. .”
The emperor nodded, gratified that the son did not blindly recruit his arms for himself and forget his father.
"Emperor Dayan will bring the prince to the capital city tomorrow, and then he will host his son in Jin. You are the prince... Tomorrow, you will personally welcome Emperor Dayan into the palace, and you will handle all the matters!" the emperor finished. , turning his head to look at the prince as if remembering something, "You just came back from southern Xinjiang, do you feel tired?"
The prince kowtowed heavily to show his loyalty: "It is the duty of the minister to contribute to the country! The minister must do his best!"
"His Majesty!"
A cheerful young girl's voice as crisp as an oriole came from the direction behind the prince. The prince raised his head and saw the emperor looking behind him, his eyes lit up, he put down the fishing rod in his hand and stood up with a rather excited expression.
The prince hurriedly got up and retreated to the side of the emperor, quietly followed the emperor's line of sight, and saw a young girl in a white riding suit with her long hair tied high behind her head with a white ribbon, holding a black gold horsewhip in her hand , running lightly and cheerfully towards the lake.
The prince's pupils shrank for a moment, and he felt that the girl's outfit was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Before the prince could remember, the girl rushed into the emperor's arms with a gust of fragrant wind. The prince and the eunuchs and maidservants who stood beside him immediately lowered their heads and took a few steps back, not daring to look at it again.
"Eunuch Gao said that this is a horse riding outfit that His Majesty personally ordered for the concubine, and the concubine immediately put it on and showed it to His Majesty! Your Majesty made a horse riding outfit for the concubine and gave the concubine a whip. He wanted to take the concubine to ride a horse." Right?" The girl's cheerful voice was somewhat arrogant, "The concubine has been learning horses since childhood, how dare Your Majesty compete with the concubine?"
The emperor's eyes were full of love and pity: "Gao Demao, go get someone to prepare, Zhen and Qiugui are going to race horses!"
Gao Demao, who was out of breath and came after Qiu Guiren, nodded with a smile: "The old slave will order someone to prepare."
"You are so kind, Your Majesty! The concubine likes Your Majesty the most!" Qiu Guiren smiled cleanly, "But even so, the concubine will not give up to Your Majesty for a while!"
The emperor raised his hand and put Qiu Guiren's messy hair behind his ears, and said with a smile, "I'm wronged, you can ride a horse in the palace, and after a while, I will take you to the royal ranch for horseback riding. "
"The concubine is not an ignorant child! Your majesty can accompany the concubine to ride a horse in the palace, and the concubine is already very happy!" After Qiu Guiren finished speaking, it seemed that he noticed someone beside him, and hurriedly withdrew from the emperor's arms , with a coquettish voice, "Why didn't your majesty tell my concubine that someone was there?"
"This is the prince..." The emperor's voice was not as happy as before.
"Your Highness!" Qiu Guiren saluted.
No matter how ignorant the crown prince was, he could still see that the nobleman was being favored, so he quickly returned the salute respectfully.
"It's hard work for the prince to come back from southern Xinjiang, let's go back and rest!" After the emperor finished speaking, he took Qiu Guiren's hand and left with a smile.
On the way back to the prince's mansion, the prince sat in the carriage and thought over and over about that noble man Qiu, that horse riding outfit... Where did he really see it!
Suddenly, the prince suddenly thought of the painting that his father often showed when he was young, and he opened his eyes: "Bai Suqiu!"
That girl is wearing a white horse riding outfit, she is exactly the same as Bai Suqiu on the picture scroll.

Baifu, Fanhua Pavilion.
Fanhua Pavilion is the best place to see the scenery in Baifu, it is very spacious and bright.
Bai Jinzhi fell asleep and woke up feeling refreshed. He and Mrs. Li went to the Fanhua Pavilion first, and happily talked about what he had seen and heard about the trip to southern Xinjiang, and detailed how the eldest sister Bai Qingyan defeated Yun Poxing this time.
Fifth Miss, Sixth Miss, and Seventh Miss stared wide-eyed. They were so nervous that they frequently turned their heads and asked Bai Jinxiu, "Second Sister, is it true? Is it really so dangerous on the battlefield?"
"You can tell by looking at the injuries on Xiaosi's body." Bai Jinxiu said with a smile.
Hearing Bai Jinzhi talk about how they were going to southern Xinjiang, the people knelt down and begged Xiao Baishuai to take back their homeland for them, and how the people of Feng County defended Bai Qingyan. All the female members of the Bai family in Fanhua Pavilion had tears in their eyes.
Mrs. Dong could imagine that scene, but it is conceivable that when her daughter went to southern Xinjiang, the pressure in her heart was extremely great!
The pregnant fifth wife, Mrs. Qi, wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "People, I still remember our Bai family."
Hearing the voices of the maidservants outside calling for the eldest girl, Bai Jinxiu and the younger sisters put down their fruit teacups and stood up to greet them outside.
Bai Qingyan entered the door to salute and did not see Fourth Aunt Wang, so she asked, "Where is Fourth Aunt?"
The fifth girl, Bai Jinzhao, apologized: "It's time for mother to worship the Buddha, and she said... she won't come. But today, mother asked a doctor to come over, so she is finally willing to drink the medicine."
Since Bai Qingyan left, the Fourth Madam Wang has become more and more taciturn, and cannot come out of the Buddhist hall all day long.
Bai Jinzhi clenched his fists tightly on his side. Before returning, the eldest sister explained about Seventh Brother and Ninth Brother. The less people know, the better. It is good that only Fourth Aunt knows that Seventh Brother is still alive, so Bai Jinzhi doesn’t even have mother Li Shi. explain.
Bai Qingyan nodded. She guessed that the fourth aunt was afraid that others would see something, so she tried her best to maintain the previous style of behavior. Today, she has invited a doctor. If she changes too much because of Bai Qingyan's return, she may be suspicious. , worried that if the emperor found out, Bai Qingjue would be in danger.
Mothers are like this, afraid that a little bit of inappropriateness in themselves will affect the life and future of their children.
In fact, no matter how suspicious the emperor was, how could he send someone to monitor the woman in the back house.
Forget it, as long as the fourth aunt can cheer up for Ah Jue, everything else is trivial.
"Eldest Sister, Fourth Sister said... Eldest Sister was riding on a horse with a sun-shooting bow, and shot through Yun Poxing's falcon with one arrow! Eldest Sister, have you picked up the sun-shooting bow again?" Bai Jinhua looked up. Ask Bai Qingyan.
