The people did not know about General Baili's return to the capital, but the people in the palace knew it. At this time, the emperor was leaning on a cushion and resting at Concubine De's place. In a rare moment of leisure, Concubine De thought for a long time and said: "The emperor has something to say, concubine." I don’t know whether to speak or not.”

The emperor glanced at Concubine De. She was rarely like this. She was usually more steady. He gave her face and said, "Let me hear it."

Concubine De said: "Your Majesty, I don't want to talk too much, but you also know my mother's family. The Baili family once became the laughing stock of others. There is no one in the family who is successful, and I have nothing to say, but is this good? It’s easy to become a successful person and make Yan’er look good, but then he is squeezed back. Is this...?”

The emperor frowned slightly. He was worried about this matter. When De Concubine mentioned it, he couldn't help but become worried again.

Concubine De said: "Yan'er just wants to be a handsome prince and has no other aspirations. You also know this. The reason why I have more concubines is because I want Yan'er to be more decent. It would be fine if he was not born into the royal family. He has no ability and is still in the royal family. This is what makes Bianjing unpleasant. As the book says, it is a snobbish place. His mother's family has such a long face. I am not a talkative person. I have to talk a lot now.”

The emperor really felt that Concubine De talked too much, and said: "What book says that Bianjing is a snobbish place? How could I not know?"

"Hey, it's also written in the storybook, it's Xianshu, but this Xianshu comes from the people. Many things are about Bianjing." She turned quickly, fearing that the emperor would tell her to ignore Xianshu.

The emperor spoke, but instead of following the previous words, he said: "What kind of idle book can you bring me to read?"

Concubine De was a little disappointed and said to the palace maid: "Ping'er, bring the manuscript that Prince Gu brought."

The palace maid responded and went to get it.

Concubine De had no choice but to talk about the gossip in the storybook and said, "Does your Majesty still remember the woman who fell into the palace a few years ago?"

The emperor thought about it, and then nodded.

At this time, the palace maid brought the manuscript and presented it. The emperor was surprised and said: "Is it really a manuscript?"

Concubine De nodded and sighed: "She is a grateful woman. I helped her change her clothes. I am still grateful to this day. Knowing that I like to read these idle books, I asked Xingzhou to bring them to me if I have any manuscripts."

The emperor opened the hand-bound book. The handwriting was elegant and neat, and there was a preface at the front. The story was adapted from a true story. She tried to demonize it and fictionalized it. The story began when he turned to the third page. The very beginning made the emperor interested. From leaning on him to sitting up.

Concubine De saw that the emperor was interested and said, "This book hasn't been sold outside yet."

The emperor looked at it and said: "It's true. But it's a little too thoughtful."

Concubine De rolled her eyes and said, "I met such a caring person, and I am willing." She said petulantly.

"Is she married?"

"No, I heard earlier that the Xie family is from a large business family. I have only seen her once and never since."

"Where are they from?"

"Jinling."

"Well, from the book, it seems that she has a good foundation and has the intention to educate the world. She dares to write it and send it to the palace."

"What do you mean, Your Majesty? You don't like it?"

"I didn't say I didn't like it, it's just that the writing is not as good as everyone else's."

"I write for fun when I have nothing to do. I don't think she wants to be what everyone wants. She uses words casually and is more like a lady in the boudoir. That is, women only buy her books for fun."

The emperor did not answer and continued to turn the pages. As if he wanted to finish reading, Concubine De began to pour tea.

It wasn't until he finished reading that the emperor slowly said, "I'll ask Prince Yu to welcome Baili Jimo in person. That's all."

What's the use of welcoming people? Arranging positions is the real point.

However, Concubine De curled her lips and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." If he said any more, he would be too complacent. The Emperor gave him steps, so she could only go down them.

This step was naturally planned by others. A few days ago, King Hui made an appointment with Gu Xingyan and said some snarky words, which made Gu Xingyan uncomfortable, so he nagged a few words at Concubine De.

Concubine De is not a scheming person, especially when it comes to her son, so she naturally protects her tightly. The Baili family was laughed at nakedly, and the clay figure couldn't bear it, so today's incident happened.
