Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

In the eighth year of Youde, on the second day of May, the Queen Mother's birthday is celebrated everywhere.

Emperor Dehui specially pardoned the world on this day to show his kindness and love.

Bai Chen got up again in the middle of the night when he couldn't see his fingers. After a tedious tidying up, before dawn, he followed everyone in the palace into the palace in a carriage to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.

In his imagination, facing the blue sky and white clouds, he would walk into that solemn and mysterious palace with awe and awe.

But the fact is that before dawn, they entered the palace gate in a carriage.

He sat in the same car with Xiao Lin and Xiao Chuan. Everyone looked solemn and silent. Even Xiao Chuan, who always showed off his gentle smile, frowned slightly, so that Bai Chen couldn't even lift the curtain to stand in the morning dew. Take a look at the majestic outline of the palace wall.

Everything that followed vividly told him a truth: the huge gap between ideal and reality is enough to break the little wings of your unrealistic fantasy.

The exhaustion of the process exceeded the imagination of a modern person like Bai Chen.

He used to be very busy at work and didn't have much time to rest. He would watch TV occasionally.

He would take a few glances at the popular costume dramas on TV when he was bored, and there were scenes in which people celebrated the Queen Mother's birthday. Everyone happily sat in the back garden chatting and drinking, and watched the singer dance to add to the fun, creating a peaceful and joyful atmosphere.

However, the fact is that they have to go to meet the emperor first. Outside the main hall, the invited civil and military officials and their family members lined up in two rows according to their positions, waiting for the emperor's arrival.

At this time, the sky was about to dawn, and the lights of lanterns and candles illuminated the outside of the hall quite brightly.

People stood densely, but few people spoke.

Bai Chen saw Pingxi Hou Bai Zhanyuan at a glance. He was standing in the row of civil servants, and beside him were Mrs. Wang, his eldest son Bai Anbang, and his second daughter Bai Fangfei.

Bai Fangfei paints her eyebrows and eyes, and dresses up brightly, which is quite eye-catching among many female relatives, but there is no joy in her eyebrows and eyes.

His second sister probably also knew the behavior of the fifth prince, and she was conflicted in her heart, but she couldn't disobey Ping Xihou's order.

Bai Zhanyuan also saw Bai Chen, but turned away indifferently in an instant.

The people in Pingxihou's Mansion stood some distance away from the people in Kangwang's Mansion. Since he pretended not to see them, Bai Chen naturally didn't want to go out of his way to say hello.

He Wenjun and He Wenguang also arrived, and they were standing opposite a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man with a white face and a beard looked rather gentle. He was the princess' brother, Cheng Enbo He Youwei.

Cheng Enbo came over and whispered a few words with the princess, and quickly returned to his place.

He Wenguang didn't come to harass Bai Chen since that time, and just gave him a bitter look before giving up.

——The public, how dare he be presumptuous.

……

Having nothing to do, Bai Chen was about to take the opportunity to secretly observe the officials of the imperial court, when he heard the people behind whisper: "Mr. Liu has arrived."

He immediately turned his head slightly, ready to see the demeanor of this powerful prime minister.

He thought he would see a domineering big man like Kang Wang, but he didn't expect to see a middle-aged man with a medium build, normal facial features, and a kind smile. He was as friendly as if he lived in the same yard and went to and from school Met an uncle who would smile and pat your head.

What surprised Bai Chen even more was yet to come.

He was followed by two young people, a man and a woman. The man was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and the woman was no more than sixteen or seventeen. The two attracted the attention of everyone in the audience without any effort.

Without him, one word, beauty.

Two words, beautiful.

It's hard to believe that the plain-looking Prime Minister Liu will have such a beautiful pair of children, and one has to marvel at the wonder of genes.

Especially that man, he is so beautiful.The white clothes are more snowy, the skin is like creamy fat, the face is like peaches and plums, and there is a pure and unconscious charm in every frown and smile.

It really gave birth to a good appearance that turned all living beings upside down.

Coupled with a bit of talent in his bones, this probably just hit the fate of the two brothers of the Xiao family, causing the tragedy of brothers falling in love with the same person.

Now seeing the real body of Mr. Liu, the curiosity in his heart has been solved.

The brothers and sisters of the Liu family came all the way and received countless amazed glances, but they were very calm, presumably they had long been accustomed to being praised and sought after by others.

Xiao Chuan smiled, his eyes tenderly watching Liu Rufeng who came slowly.

And Xiao Lin was expressionless, and didn't even turn his head to take a look.

So calm and proud, even if his heart is turbulent, he will never show it on his face.

The corners of Liu Rufeng's mouth curled up slightly, and he responded to Xiao Chuan with a slight smile in his eyes.

Affectionate and sweet, envious of others.

But Bai Chen saw a subtle feeling.

It's as if... two masters of martial arts jointly present a perfect martial arts exhibition match for the audience, and they are also like two veteran actors who have long been familiar with each other's strength and acting skills, and they cooperate with each other tacitly.

It's really strange, why does he feel this way?

Just lowering his head and wondering secretly, Bai Chen was sensitively aware of a gaze passing by him, and when he raised his head, Liu Rufeng and her younger sister had followed Liu Xiang to the front.

Bai Chen was a little confused, why did Liu Rufeng look at him?

Do you think he still likes Xiao Chuan, so I want to show off?

Or look at what kind of person the person who admires him marries?

Could it be that the original owner of this body still has emotional entanglements with this man who is more beautiful than a woman?

Bai Chen recalled the scene with Liu Rufeng in his mind, and was so frightened that he almost took three steps backwards. This possibility absolutely does not exist.

……

After waiting for about half an hour, Emperor Dehui came late, and everyone entered the hall to meet in order according to their official rank.

The Golden Luan Hall is magnificent, but Bai Chen has long lost his excitement and just wants to end it quickly.

He followed Kang Wang's family and paid homage to the emperor in a daze. Because Xiao Lin was inconvenient, Emperor Dehui specially exempted him from bowing down.

The courtiers couldn't look directly at the emperor when they knelt down, so Bai Chen could only take a few glances at Emperor Dehui's long face when he got up.

He looks somewhat similar to Kang Wang, his first-milk compatriot, with a thinner figure, and he doesn't have the iron-blooded temperament of a gold and iron horse, but has an extra calmness and calmness of a king.

It seems different from the imaginary domineering emperor, and I feel that such an emperor is more real.

This is not like a drunken king, but the blue and black eyes show that he has been a little empty recently.

Mysterious emperor...

While thinking wildly, my wrist suddenly hurt.

He came back to his senses and looked aside, Xiao Lin put his hand back on the handle of the wheelchair as if nothing had happened, he raised his eyebrows, his face was normal.

Bai Chen's heart trembled, and he glanced at Emperor Dehui, seeing that he didn't pay attention to this side, he was a little relieved.

...Fortunately, Xiao Lin pinched him awake, he was careless, it's not right for him to be distracted at this time.

The audience should be held sequentially, and Bai Chen could just take this opportunity to have a general understanding of these civil and military ministers.

——Maybe there will be my own immediate boss here in the future, so be prepared.

Relatives of the emperor, hereditary nobles, ministers of civil and military power... The whole family came down, the number of people was huge, and the progress was slow. At the beginning, he was still very serious in memorizing. Later, Bai Chen started to have a headache, but he still had to stand upright. There can be no slack.

When the mind was chaotic, a clear stream came.

——Only one person stood in front of Emperor Dehui.

This person is wearing a blue court dress, looks about 30 years old, tall, with handsome features, clear and serious eyes.

After indirectly reporting his family name through him, Baichendun was surprised.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Luo Lanye.

An official from the fourth rank is so young.

He knows Dali Temple, which is in charge of prisons and case trials.

Sitting in such a high position at such a young age, Mr. Luo must have outstanding professional ability.

He came alone, which meant that he had no family members.The ancients matured precociously, and Luo Lanye has not yet married, probably because he is so focused on his career.

It can be considered that he had been with this Master Luo in his previous life, but until he was 25 years old, he was only the deputy captain of their field team.

People are better than people, so I have to throw it away.

Thinking of this, he had a little respect for Lord Luo.

……

After finally surviving the audience, the Longevity Palace sent someone to report that the Empress Dowager had already gotten up and tidied up.

For the next project, Emperor Dehui personally led everyone to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday to show respect.

A group of people marched mightily towards the Longevity Palace.

... Bai Chen deeply understood that it was not easy to live in ancient times, and it was even more difficult to be an official while living in ancient times.

The author has something to say: emmm... pinching the wrist and rounding it up is equivalent to touching a small hand, right, it must be like this (the grades of officials in Dali Temple seem to be different from time to time, so this article made a compromise and chose one from the fourth grade, As long as everyone understands that meaning~ps: Chapter 37 will be updated tomorrow afternoon╭（╯3╰）╮
