Chapter 268

He paused, then said: "Concubine Chun, oh no, it should be called Empress Chun now, Empress Chun has given birth to a capable son, the fourth prince, King Xiao, who has a heavy army in his hand, and made great contributions in a border chaos. , I heard that I will be named a prince soon, and my aunt, Concubine Shu, has only given birth to one princess, and even if the emperor loves her again, she will not be able to sit on the queen's seat."

Bai Zhi thought of the novels and TV dramas she had read. After the emperor's son made great achievements, if he was favored by the emperor, shouldn't he be the crown prince? And even his old mother sat on the throne of the queen and was canonized as the prince, isn't it justifiable? Why only the prince?

"If King Xiao is as favored by the emperor as you said, why not make him the crown prince?" Bai Zhi asked.

As soon as Bai Zhi asked this question, she was as calm as Hu Feng and her complexion changed slightly. This girl was too bold, she really dared to say anything.

Although Hu Feng changed his face, his eyes still turned to Meng Nan, waiting for his answer.

Meng Nan was also stunned for a moment, not expecting Bai Zhi to ask such a question.

As the son of the Meng family, he naturally knew the reasons, but these reasons could not be easily known to the world.

Seeing Meng Nan's face was a little embarrassed, Bai Zhi hurriedly said: "You don't need to answer, I just asked out of curiosity. If it makes you embarrassed, I'm really sorry."

Meng Nan didn't know what to say, her heart became colder and quieter.

This may be the gap between him and Bai Zhi, the insurmountable gap, he can't be completely frank with her, there will always be some things that can't be said, although she seems to want to know.

Obviously Bai Zhi also understands this, so she refuses to go to Kyoto with him. She is very smart, she knows what kind of life she wants to live, and she has the ability to live the life she wants to live well.

And what about yourself?

If he takes her to Kyoto, will he be able to protect her?

he does not know!

Jin Xiaoan was also embarrassed when he saw the son's appearance. He smirked and said to Bai Zhi, "Miss Bai, don't mind. The son didn't deliberately refuse to tell you, but it's just that we don't want to arbitrarily discuss this royal matter."

Bai Zhi didn't mind, she just asked casually, people always have the heart of gossip, but she is not the kind of person who is crazy about gossip.

"It's okay, I don't mind, I shouldn't ask, okay, let's have some tea."

She also didn't expect that such a casual sip would make the atmosphere so embarrassing, and she would not have asked if she had known it, and she had no interest in royal affairs.

Hu Feng got up again and went back to the window where he had been before, staring darkly at the constant flow of people on the street.

Today's farewell banquet, the chef has used all his housekeeping skills to cook all the good dishes that he is good at, and the big round table is full.

Despite the enthusiasm of Boss Chen, he never saw Meng Nan smile once, but he poured the wine down cup by cup.

Boss Chen pulled Jin Xiaoan aside and asked, "What's wrong with your son? It doesn't look right."

Jin Xiaoan doesn't know why the young master suddenly became like this. He was fine before, so he wouldn't become like this just because Miss Bai asked that question casually, right?

Jin Xiaoan shook his head: "I don't know why he is like this. Maybe he thinks of leaving tomorrow, so he can't bear it." Jin Xiaoan responded with a dry smile. The son has changed a lot recently. To be precise, he has changed a lot since he met Miss Bai.
