Reborn in the StarCraft, I was adopted by the Emperor's uncle
Chapter 390 2 Major Concerns
It has to be said that Wen Shang was shocked by Bai Junxi's appearance. She thought that she seemed to have underestimated Bai Junxi's love for her.
The royal family did want to form an alliance with the Bai family to increase her political leverage, but Bai Junxi refused.
Because she was only two years old at that time, and he was in the rising period of his career. He couldn't stay in the imperial capital and wait for her to grow up before busying himself with his own career.
If that were the case, Bai Junxi would not have achieved what he has today.
"Bai Junxi, don't regret it."
Wen Chang couldn't bear to see him like this, and said in a muffled voice, "I was only two years old at the time, and I didn't understand anything. It's normal for you to disagree."
In fact, she couldn't remember why she agreed to the marriage with Lan Yan.
Her father told her that she was deceived by Lan Yan's face, and her uncle also said that she was attracted by the beauty of the Mermaid King.
Wenbert, Wen Jun and others said that when they were young, they had always coveted Lan Yan's fish tail. One time when they went to find Lan Yan, it happened to be Lan Yan's susceptible period, and then she was stroked from head to toe by him.
The mermaids were afraid that His Majesty would come after them, so they pushed Lan Yan out with great fanfare and asked him to marry into the royal family.
Wen Chang who learned the truth about the marriage after growing up: ヽ(???)?!!!
I can't believe how lustful I was at that time. Did I feel like I couldn't walk when I saw Lan Yan? She even dared to come to Lan Yan's house when he was susceptible to it.
Bai Junxi lowered his eyes slightly, and said calmly, "But if I had stayed with you until you were five or ten years old, and you remembered me then, would you still have refused to marry me like you do now?"
of course not.
Wen Shang answered him silently in her heart.
If Bai Junxi had refused the marriage proposal to her at that time, but stayed with her until she was five or six years old, and then focused on his career.
She remembered all the good things he had done for her and how much she loved him. Even if Bai Junxi's pursuit might attract criticism and difficulties from her uncle and her father, as long as she was sure that she had no intention of rejecting him, she would agree to him.
But there was no if, he had no intention of staying for her at that time.
This also made De Liancheng dissatisfied. When Bai Junxi just showed signs of getting close to Wen Chang, he secretly investigated Bai Junxi's actions in recent years, and then sent it to Wen Chang, secretly telling her that Bai Junxi was uncontrollable and not suitable for marriage with her.
As for my uncle and Wenbert, they didn't care as much as Liancheng, but when the head of the Bai family sounded out Bai Junxi, he did not get any indication of agreement.
"Different."
She didn't say what was in her heart, but her expression became more serious. "The meaning of your marriage with Lan Yan and me is different."
There were some things she couldn't explain too clearly, as they concerned a series of plans she had made after becoming the Crown Princess.
But as for her continued refusal to marry him, she believed that after so long he had some guesses in his mind and just needed her confirmation.
Wen Chang came to talk to him to confirm his guesses.
"My father investigated you. You know this, right?"
Bai Junxi's eyebrows jumped suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Wen Shang without saying a word.
Wen Chang didn't care that he didn't speak at this time, but continued, "He checked a lot of things about you, including how many times you made contributions on the border, how you designed the neighboring country to stop the empire, and how you later became a lieutenant colonel and transferred from the military to the executive office... After he found out all these, he gave all the information to me. Wen Yun also saw it."
Bai Junxi lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Wen Yun and I have indeed known each other for a long time."
"Not only have we known each other for a long time, but he also helped you behind the scenes when you entered the Executive Office, right?"
When Wen Shang said this, there was still a hint of smile on her face, but that smile seemed to be a little ironic no matter how you looked at it.
She was not surprised that Bai Junxi and Wen Yun knew each other. They were both outstanding among their peers, and they had had a lot of contact when she was brought back to the White House.
Later, Bai Junxi was about to enter the Executive Office. Wen Yun served as a eunuch beside Wen Chang, and they had more and more interactions. When Wen Chang noticed their close relationship, she didn't take it too seriously.
It was not until later that her great uncle and Wenbert gave her some information about the Bai family.
Wen Shang immediately became interested in Bai Junxi's development over the years and asked Wen Yun to check it out. When the two talked about Bai Junxi's relationship with the black market, she realized belatedly that Wen Yun knew Bai Junxi too well, and that understanding had exceeded the level of attention she paid to her colleagues and outstanding peers.
Therefore, she knew that Wen Yun and Bai Junxi were good friends.
"When Wen Yun told me that your relationship with him had long gone beyond the scope of ordinary friends, I knew that there was a gap in my heart towards you. He was wary of you and your close relationship with the black market, and I was concerned about your relationship with Wen Yun. I was afraid that this would become a shackle for my ruling in the future."
Wen Jun serves the royal family. Once the relationship between the Bai family and the black market was exposed, he immediately realized that if he did not handle his relationship with Bai Junxi well, it could easily become a bomb between him and Wen Shang.
So if he wanted to speak, he had to make it clear what he had done between Wen Chang and Bai Junxi, so that if the black market got out of control under Wen Chang's nose one day, Wen Chang would not suspect that he had joined forces with the Bai family to cause the black market to get out of control.
This is Wen Yun's way of protecting himself, and there is nothing wrong with that.
As for Bai Junxi, it can only be said that it is unfortunate, because he is in the Bai family and is the young master of the Bai family.
Once the relationship between the Bai family and the black market was exposed, given the royal family's vigilance against the black market, it was inevitable that they would be on guard against Bai Junxi.
As a result, he also wanted to marry Wen Shang, and Wen Yun was one of the few good friends around him.
How could Wen Shang not have any concerns?
The eunuch beside her has close ties with a male who has close ties with the black market. Isn't that just like the personal eunuch beside the emperor in feudal society colluding with the prince of a certain fiefdom? If she is not careful, she will be stripped of her power by the two of them.
Of course, this is only one aspect.
On the other hand, Bai Junxi himself has outstanding political ability. In ancient times, there were evil concubines who brought disaster to the government, and recently there are eunuchs who betrayed the government. As for Bai Junxi, he can guarantee that he will not have the ambition to seize power in the future.
Maybe he didn't, but could Wen Shang guarantee that she wouldn't become suspicious of him?
Because of these two points, Wen Chang has always rejected Bai Junxi's pursuit.
