Chapter 204 Banquet
The emperor originally planned to let a group of people go to show power to Zhou Ximing and Bai Susu, and the rest of them would go to the two younger brothers of Bai Susu, use them to threaten Bai Susu, and help him monitor Zhou Ximing.

It's a pity that the emperor's abacus was crackling, but he forgot that Bai Jingshan and Bai Jingyun were surrounded by many martial arts masters, and Lao Zhou was guarding every step of the way.

"Father, I didn't intend to hurt the two children." The emperor looked at Lao Zhou with sincerity on his face, "I see that the prince and princess have not had children for a long time, so I just want to get close to these two children .”

This sentence is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone.It not only explained the purpose of sending people to find Bai Jingyun and Bai Jingshan, but also implied that Bai Susu was not pregnant so far.

Lao Zhou looked at his deep-minded son, and snorted coldly, "These two children are living a good life by their side. If you like it, you can come and have a look, and you don't need to take it away."

He paused, looked at Zhou Ximing and Bai Susu again, and then added, "Your grandchildren have their own blessings, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

"Yes." The emperor responded immediately.

As soon as the cool wind blew, the emperor began to cough uncontrollably again.He put one hand near his mouth, coughed in disobedience, and then said weakly: "The banquet is about to start, I will go in first."

When the voice fell, he didn't care what the people behind him were thinking, so he let the chief eunuch beside him help him turn around and leave.

Only then did Bai Susu heave a sigh of relief, and raised her hand to touch Bai Jingyun and Bai Jingyun's heads, and softly comforted them, before handing them over to Lao Zhou, "Thank you for today's matter, senior."

"The old man said a long time ago that we should protect the two of them." Old Zhou said with a smile, "If you really want to thank me, you can cook some hard dishes for the old man after you go back."

"Definitely." Bai Susu responded with a smile.

Counting the time, those ministers are coming soon.Lao Zhou took his two children and planned to go down the mountain for a walk, while Bai Susu and Zhou Ximing approached the hall where the banquet was held.

Because this is the main hall in the temple, everything is simple.Even the food on the table should be vegetarian.

The emperor was already sitting on top of the main hall, coughing from time to time, looking extremely weak.

Bai Susu politely saluted the emperor, then found her own seat and sat down, her lowered eyes were a little colder.It never occurred to her that these powerful people, in order to deal with her or manipulate her, secretly wanted to control her relatives and threaten herself.

It also made Bai Susu cultivate his own power to protect his relatives.

As if aware of Bai Susu's loneliness and calmness, Zhou Ximing gently held her cold hand and comforted her softly, "Everything will be solved."

Bai Susu paused, raised her eyes to meet Zhou Ximing's, couldn't help but bend a bit, and responded softly.

There was nothing wrong with this banquet, and the performance was a joy.But there are also many people who secretly looked at the relationship between Zhou Ximing and the emperor, and analyzed the powerful relationship.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the emperor doesn't like the prince very much. If the emperor has the ability, maybe he will pull the prince down.

However, this prince is also someone who thinks he has the means, and no one can guarantee whether he will pull the emperor down from that position in the end.

The officials who have stood in the team are thinking about how to maximize their benefits, and the officials who have not been in the team are repeatedly entangled in their hearts.

However, the turmoil among the officials did not affect the emperor and Zhou Ximing at all.

The emperor sat there calmly, knocking on the wine cup in his hand with one hand unhurriedly, looked at Zhou Ximing with a thoughtful look, and thought in a slightly deep voice, "Ximing, you are getting married now. After three or four months, the backyard should be full."

When Bai Susu heard the emperor's words, the faint smile on his lips gradually disappeared, and he lowered his eyes without looking at the sights projected from all around him.

Zhou Ximing quietly held her hand tightly, "When my son married the crown princess, he once accepted Ruo and refused to accept the side concubine."

The emperor naturally knew about this matter, and now he is just using this as an excuse.Looking at Zhou Ximing with firm eyes, he chuckled lightly, and his tone sounded very kind, "You were not happy when Mr. Gu proposed this matter, but this is the foundation of the country, and you cannot play with your temper."

The emperor said openly and secretly that Zhou Ximing was unwilling because he was not calm and did not consider the intertwined interests.

"The foundation of the country is maintained by women?" Bai Susu looked at the emperor in puzzlement, her voice was ethereal, reaching everyone's ears, "I never thought that women would be so important."

It has been like this since ancient times, Zhong Wuyan has nothing to do, Xia Yingchun has nothing to do.For many things in history, in order not to let oneself bear the infamy, all the reasons were pushed to women.

It is said that women are used to maintain the interests of the major families. To put it bluntly, the happiness of women is still sacrificed to achieve the political ambitions of men.

This matter was originally acquiesced in secret, but now that Bai Susu put it on the bright side, many people frowned unanimously, thinking that Bai Susu's words were indecent.

Tang Jianshan, the newly appointed Minister of Rites, heard Bai Susu's words, and a smile flashed in his eyes.What Bai Susu said was indeed true.

But in history, there are not no emperors who focus on a woman, so why talk about the word must?

"Princess Concubine, it's not your turn to intervene in this matter." The emperor looked at Bai Susu with a majestic voice, carrying a strong sense of oppression from a superior.

"The emperor wants to find a side concubine for the concubine's husband, and the concubine is not qualified to say a few words?" Bai Susu raised her eyes to look at the emperor, and asked with a half-smile: "The emperor still remembers when he bestowed the marriage , What did the concubine say?"

As soon as the emperor was reminded by Bai Susu, he immediately remembered.In order to promote the third prince to the throne, he personally shortened this path.

Seeing that the emperor had already remembered it, Bai Susu repeated it unhurriedly, "Before the emperor granted the marriage, the concubine said that the husband who is going to marry should not marry a concubine. This marriage was brought about."

After her words fell, before the emperor said anything, several ministers couldn't sit still.Hubu Shangshu snorted coldly, and looked at Bai Susu with unkind eyes, "If you can't even accommodate a few concubines, how can you be so jealous, how can you be worthy of the position of Crown Princess?"

"If such a talented woman is not worthy, who else can be worthy of the crown prince?" The minister of the Ministry of Industry looked dissatisfied at the minister of the household department, who obviously supported the princess.
