Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

Bai Chen has not been in the palace for a long time, and the scope of activities is quite limited. This is the first time he has been to the side hall.

Generally speaking, the side hall is mainly a place for informal receptions, and he guessed that this time it should not be a big deal.

Of course, Kang Wang would never let him participate in the real big event.

With Xiao Lin leading the way, Bai Chen enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way with peace of mind, and by the way, remembered the route in his mind.

The palace has both the atmosphere of the northern courtyard and the handsomeness of the southern garden. Even if you pass by in a hurry, it is unforgettable and refreshing.

It is said that the palace was built under the supervision of Emperor Dehui himself. Everything in the palace is exquisite and exquisite. Even if it is just a stone bench, the craftsmen dare not be sloppy in the slightest, and they have achieved perfection.

Emperor Dehui built a mansion for King Kang, who holds a heavy army, and let him stay in the capital. Is it because of his brotherly love and compassion, or because he is worried that he will be under the nose at the border to watch?

The heart of an emperor is as unfathomable as the sea.

While Bai Chen was thinking wildly, several people came to the side hall.

Even the side halls are resplendent with carved beams and painted buildings, showing the luxury of the royal family.

In such a comparison, the princess loves Xiao Qingqing, Xiao Lin is really a veteran cadre, and the aesthetic orientation of the three is completely different.

Kang Wang was sitting on a chair drinking tea, the court clothes on his body had not been changed yet.Except for the servants who were waiting on the side, no one else was seen in the hall.

When Lin Feiyun reached the door of the side hall, he stopped and consciously stood by the door.

Bai Chen understood, and pushed Xiao Lin's wheelchair through the door.

"My son has seen my father." Xiao Lin saluted and greeted him at the door.

"Chen'er greets the prince."

"Come in." Kang Wang put down his teacup and said.

When the concubine was not present, Kang Wang's aura of calmness and prestige was fully exposed, and he seemed to be a high-ranking, unsmiling patriarch.

——Even his eyes are as sharp as a falcon.

"Father, what do you need from us?" Xiao Lin asked respectfully.

"Sit down first." King Kang glanced at the direction of the gate, and frowned slightly, "When Chuan'er and Mo'er arrived, they said together that these two people hadn't arrived yet."

"Yes, father."

Bai Chen settled Xiao Lin down, and sat down on the chair next to him.

A servant brought tea, Xiao Lin looked calm and drank tea leisurely.

Summoning all the children was related to the Empress Dowager's birthday, Bai Chen really couldn't guess what it was, so he followed suit and drank tea.

Not long after, Xiao Chuan and Xiao Mo arrived together.

After saying hello to each other, they took their seats.

Xiao Mo and Xiao Chuan sat on the opposite chairs, Bai Chen and Xiao Mo looked into each other's eyes, and the latter greeted him with a playful wink.

Bai Chen smiled at her, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Chuan sizing him up calmly, his eyes were a little...complicated.

He doesn't know what Xiao Chuan thinks about the original owner of this body, he only knows one thing - since Xiao Chuan is going to marry someone else, it proves that the young master of the Hou Mansion doesn't hold enough weight in his heart, no matter what he says or does now nonsense.

Bai Chen sneered in his heart, ignored him, and continued to act as if he hadn't seen him.

Xiao Chuan quickly retracted his gaze and sat upright.

"Since everyone is here." King Kang cleared his throat and looked at the crowd, "Then I will tell you about the Queen Mother's birthday."

The expressions of several people became serious, waiting for Kang Wang's next words.

"The empress dowager's [-]th birthday, you all have to go to the palace with me to attend the banquet. All civil and military officials will be there, don't be presumptuous, this is one of them;" King Kang looked at Xiao Mo, "The emperor summoned me after the court today , said that the Empress Dowager misses Mo'er recently, Mo'er, you will go to the palace to stay with the Empress Dowager for a few days tomorrow, relieve her boredom, and make her old man happy."

Kang Wang's words reminded Bai Chen of another piece of information he had learned from Bing'er—the Queen Mother was not the biological mother of Emperor Dehui and Kang Wang, but their biological mother was an ordinary concubine.This girl was not favored, but her belly was unusually upbeat. The late emperor visited her no more than five times in total, and she miraculously gave birth to two princes within three years.

The first emperor and the empress dowager loved each other very much, but the empress dowager never conceived, which is a pity.

That concubine passed away due to illness when King Kang was three years old and Emperor Dehui was one year old. The Queen Mother saw that they were fair and clever, and felt pity for them, so she took them into her own name and became their concubine. Mother.

The queen mother also earnestly fulfilled her duties as a mother and raised them as her own sons, so Emperor Dehui and King Kang were also very filial to the queen mother.

At that time, after hearing this story, Bai Chen was still complaining in his heart, why Bing'er, a maid of the Marquis's mansion, who didn't go out of the door, even knew that Emperor Chongyuan had favored his concubines less than five times?He said it so vividly... Then he suddenly realized that the gossip business in ancient times was not much worse than it is now. Even if it is a high-ranking emperor, his lower body will inevitably become the talk of the people after dinner.

"Yes, father." Xiao Mo was worried when she heard the words: "Is grandma in good health recently?"

"It's okay." Kang Wang reminded her, "After entering the palace, you must call the queen mother or the emperor's grandmother. Don't be rude."

"Her old man said that calling her queen mother is too natural." Xiao Mo smiled mischievously: "I only call you when no one is around. Father, don't worry."

"You girl, you are so naughty, when will you grow up?" Kang Wang knew that his daughter seemed to be far-fetched, but was actually smart and vigilant, so he casually mentioned this sentence.

"Don't worry, father, I will make the emperor's grandmother happy, and she will not have any troubles." Xiao Mo said obediently, "I haven't seen her for some days, and I miss her very much."

King Kang nodded in satisfaction: "You go down and clean up first. This time you will stay in the palace for a longer period of time, so everything is ready. After the Queen Mother's birthday, you can follow us back to the mansion."

"...Then Mo'er withdrew."

Xiao Mo knew in her heart that she would not let her listen to what her father was going to say next, and wanted to send her away.

Although not happy, but there is no way.

After Xiao Mo left, Kang Wang took a sip of tea before speaking.

"One more thing. The fifth prince has passed the age of weak crown and has not yet married a wife. The emperor intends to take advantage of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet to choose a concubine for the fifth prince. According to the emperor's intention this morning, he will probably be selected after the birthday banquet Satisfied noble girls from famous families held another small banquet for them to show off their talents."

... So what does this have to do with him, why did he call him, and why Xiao Lin and Xiao Chuan were called?The three of them will not run for the princess.

Before Bai Chen finished spitting out, he saw Kang Wang's eyes locked on him.

Then he said slowly: "I heard that Lord Hou intends to let Miss Bai attend the birthday banquet."

... Bai Chen was suddenly at a loss for words.

There is only one Miss Bai in Hou's mansion, who is his second sister who refuses to marry.

No wonder he was asked to come to "discussion". Everything in front of him was an appetizer, and this was the main meal.

Ping Xihou refused to marry his daughter into the palace, but wanted to take Pidiandian to participate in the selection of the prince and concubine whose success rate is unknown. It is completely understandable for Kang Wang to be angry, which is tantamount to slapping him in the face.

Bai Chen thought to himself that Bai Zhanyuan could not settle down for a few days, and then made another moth, and he wanted him to bear Kang Wang's resentment.

Really tired.

He didn't want to be tricked by his cheap father, so he showed doubts, "Is there such a thing?"

"Chen'er, don't you know?" King Kang's eyes were sharp, like an X-ray machine, able to see through people.Even if Bai Chen had received special training in his previous life, if he lied, he would not be seen through.

Fortunately, he didn't lie, he really didn't know about this matter.

Bai Chen smiled wryly, with a sad face, "I really don't know about this. My father is different from you, the prince. He never discusses anything with us."

Not only complained about the pain of being involuntary and ignorant, but also flattered Kang Wang-as a father, you are still enlightened.

This implied position had an effect, Kang Wang's face softened, and he withdrew his sharp gaze.

Bai Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Fifth prince?

The prince who was capable of both civil and military skills but lost the crown prince because of his wild and uninhibited personality?

Marquis Pingxi wanted to marry his daughter to him more than simply wanting to enjoy the glory and wealth with this son-in-law.

Bai Chen originally thought that this matter was over, but he didn't expect Kang Wang to turn his attention to Xiao Chuan again.

"Not only Marquis Pingxi, it is said that Liu Xiang also wants his daughter to participate in the selection."

Xiao Chuan was a little surprised: "Rufeng's two older sisters are already married, leaving only the 16-year-old younger sister."

Kang Wang said: "It's her."

"This..." Xiao Chuan's face changed slightly, and the shock on his face could no longer be concealed, "I've never heard of this."

The dialogue between Kang Wang and Xiao Chuan made Bai Chen more certain that Ping Xihou's motive for wanting to marry his daughter to the fifth prince might not be that simple.

It is a bold guess that he is dreaming of the spring and autumn dream of becoming the head of the country one day.

But why did Liu Xiang want to marry his daughter to the Fifth Prince so surprised Xiao Chuan?Why did King Kang deliberately tell Xiao Chuan about this?

This is so strange, Bai Chen faintly felt that there was a lot of articles in it.

Hope it doesn't involve him.
