After the scheming is dressed into an innocent beauty
Chapter 38 Who is the seventh prince
There are many people in the palace, and in order to avoid suspicion, Bai Jinfu could not talk too much with Han Yucheng. Under the guidance of the internal officials, Bai Jinfu was first arranged in a separate garden called "Chunxi Hall" in the palace. Stay here, although his status as the seventh prince has not been officially announced to the world, the palace people have already used all his food and clothing expenses as the prince's.
Not long after settling down in Chunxi Hall, all kinds of rewards from Emperor Longqing came over like flowing water, gold, silver, jewelry, antique jade, silk and satin... all kinds of treasures filled the room, making people dazzled .
The inner officer who came to deliver the reward finished reading the reward list, helped Bai Jin up, and said with a smile: "The emperor said, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince does not need to thank you, let you rest here, and an inner officer will come to teach you later. You have some etiquette and rules in the palace, and the Clothing Bureau will come to tailor your clothes and make auspicious clothes for you. His Royal Highness is still busy, so the villain will not bother you, and you will leave first."
"Thank you, father-in-law." After sending off the internal officials beside Emperor Longqing, Bai Jinfu looked at the room full of rewards and sneered silently. Does Emperor Longqing really care about his son after rewarding so many things?Of course not, it's just to make his cheap son willingly agree to go to Baiyue as a proton in the future, and he doesn't want to be said that he is a ruthless emperor, so of course he has to do enough superficial work now.
In Daliu's palace, everyone is born with acting skills.
Bai Jinfu asked the palace servants to put away all the rewards, and then walked around his new residence. After all, it is a royal place. The Chunxi Hall he lives in now is much different than the one he used to live in Ning'an Hou Mansion. The side garden where I live is more than double the size, and it also comes with a small garden.
Just after visiting the two buildings on the left, a palace official came to find him with a wooden box, saying that an internal official came to Chunxi Hall just now and asked him to give the box to the Seventh Prince.
Bai Jinfu took the wooden box and opened it. There was a pill inside, which was the kind he had to take every ten days. Don't think about it, it must have been sent by Ji Fengyao.
Bai Jinfu couldn't help but recall the scene when he went to Lianhua to see Ji Fengyao and asked him for help before he decided to meet Emperor Longqing.
When Ji Fengyao heard that he wanted to go back to the palace, he didn't object, but rather gently asked him to do what he wanted, just like an elder encouraging the younger generation.
Bai Jinfu couldn't help questioning Ji Fengyao, who seemed to have no desires, but kept using drugs to control him, what exactly he wanted.
At that time, Ji Fengyao was standing on the edge of a cliff on the top of the mountain, with a bottomless valley in front of him and a cloudy sky behind him. , long hair fluttering, really like a secluded outworlder here, as if he would ride the wind and go away at any time.
Ji Fengyao raised his eyes and looked into the distance, silent for a long time, then suddenly said that he wanted Emperor Longqing to repent for the mistakes he had made, he wanted to help the child of the woman he loved the most in his life sit on the throne, and make all the descendants of the Duan family prostrate at his feet.
Finally, he turned around, looked at Bai Jinfu without sadness or joy, and said, "If you do it boldly, I will do my best to help you and trample all those who despised you and your mother under their feet." , this was my promise to your mother."
Bai Jinfu is not sure how sincere or false what Ji Fengyao said, but Ji Fengyao did help him a lot today, if he hadn't appeared in time and said those words to Emperor Longqing, today's father and son Recognition drama will not go so smoothly.
After Ji Fengyao delivered the pill to Emperor Longqing, he left the palace without meeting Bai Jinfu. Emperor Longqing was most suspicious and jealous. If he knew that Ji Fengyao had known Bai Jinfu a long time ago, then in front of Emperor Longqing, he would If Ji Fengyao helps Bai Jinfu to speak again, his words will lose credibility and become ulterior motives.
-
Si Tianjian calculated the auspicious day for Bai Jin to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan. Just five days later, the Ministry of Rituals began to prepare for the ceremony to welcome the Seventh Prince back to the palace, and the news that the Seventh Prince had been found also spread from the palace. He went out and spread like wildfire in the capital.
The first to hear the news was of course the crown prince and king lie who paid the most attention to this matter.
On the second day after Bai Jinfu settled down in the palace, King Lie rushed to the palace. The crown prince sent his eldest son Duan Wuji over because he wanted to supervise the country, so he could take a look at his legendary seven What does my brother look like?
When King Lie and Duan Wuji arrived at the palace, they first went to pay respects to Emperor Longqing. After hearing what they said about their visit, Emperor Longqing summoned the internal officials and asked the internal officials to go to Chunxi Hall to send Bai Jin to help him over to see his family.
When Bai Jinfu arrived at Changxin Garden, Emperor Longqing, Lie Wang, and Duan Wuji were chatting with each other. It was a scene of harmony between father and son, filial sons and grandchildren, but as soon as Bai Jinfu walked in, the three of them stopped. After chatting, the three pairs of eyes looked at him, and Bai Jinfu suddenly felt like an uninvited guest who disturbed their shared family relationship. He appeared at a very bad time, and he was the most redundant person in the room.
But even if he knew that he was redundant, he still had to work hard to blend in. Fortunately, he had a thick skin and pretended not to be aware of the embarrassing atmosphere at the scene, and calmly saluted Emperor Longqing first: "Son, please bow to the emperor." Kim Ann."
Emperor Longqing was still a little unaccustomed to having such an older son suddenly, but although this cheap son was born among the people, he was well behaved, not as vulgar and shallow as he imagined. Emperor Longqing felt unsatisfactory, so he waved to Bai Jinfu kindly and said "Excuse me", and introduced to King Lie and Duan Wuji: "Old Wu, this child is your seventh brother, Wuji, you should Call me Seventh Uncle."
Lie Wang and Duan Wuji stood on both sides respectively, their gazes fell on Bai Jinfu, and followed his footsteps all the way.
Bai Jinfu has already changed into the clothes of the prince. He is dressed in crimson brocade clothes embroidered with golden pythons, wearing dragon-patterned boots, wearing a two-dragon opera bead crown for his hair, and a white jade belt around his waist. He grew up by Duan Wuji's side in the royal family since he was a child, and he doesn't lose his bearing.
As the saying goes, the Buddha relies on the golden horse and the saddle, and Bai Jinfu used to be dressed in a low-key commoner, but once he changed into this outfit, his aura suddenly increased. Some people don't look like princes even if they wear dragon robes, but Some people are born aristocrats, and they don't need to deliberately imitate, and the inherent nobility can't be hidden.
Emperor Longqing waited for Bai Jinfu to come to him, then pointed to King Lie and Duan Wuji and introduced to him: "This is your fifth elder brother Duan Tingxu, this is my eldest grandson, Duan Wuji, they heard that you were killed I found it, and they came here specially to see you."
Bai Jinfu knew the rules and saluted King Lie first, and said in a gentle voice, "I've met Fifth Brother."
King Lie carefully stared at Bai Jinfu's face, looked again and again, and said abruptly, "I seem to have seen this seventh brother before, why does he look so familiar?"
Duan Wuji withdrew his gaze from sweeping Bai Jinfu's face, and said lightly, "Did Uncle Wu lose his memory as he gets older, either it seems to be, or he has seen it before."
Lie Wang cast a dissatisfied glance at Duan Wuji, frowned and tried to recall, then suddenly pointed to Bai Jinfu and suddenly realized: "Is it in Lianhua Temple that day? The one next to Jing Yu's second brother!"
Emperor Longqing sat aside and listened in a daze, and asked strangely: "What is the Lotus Temple? Why, the three of you have seen it before? Why is there still something about Jing Yu?"
Bai Jinfu had expected this day a long time ago, so he explained calmly: "Father doesn't know something, I once lived in Ning'anhou's residence for a while, and one day, I followed Ning'anhou's residence I went to Lianhua Temple to burn incense together, and I happened to meet the fifth prince and the eldest grandson of the emperor, so we met once."
Emperor Longqing sized up Bai Jinfu with a serious expression, "How do you know Marquis Ning'an again?"
Bai Jinfu explained in an orderly manner: "The Marquis of Ning'an went to Longhai County to investigate the salt affairs at that time, and was unfortunately assassinated while passing through Suzhou. He happened to be rescued by me who was passing by. I was traveling together, but when I arrived in the capital, I found that the relatives who were going to seek refuge had already moved out of the capital, the Marquis of Ning'an took pity on me that I had no relatives in the capital, so he invited me to live in his residence temporarily."
After Bai Jinfu finished speaking, Duan Wuji said in an indifferent manner: "Since the seventh uncle is temporarily staying at the mansion of Ning An Hou, he should know that Ning An Hou was ordered to find the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince. Why did he not show up until now?" ?”
Duan Wuji's words hit the nail on the head. After hearing this, Emperor Longqing really looked at Bai Jinfu's eyes, and gradually became defensive and probing.
Bai Jinfu knew that in the eyes of these people, he might have become someone with bad intentions. He might be pushed out to have his head beheaded if he uttered a wrong sentence. Fortunately, he had already thought about what to do. Reason, calming down, under the watchful eyes of the other three, said neither humble nor overbearing: "I know that Marquis Ning'an is looking for the Seventh Prince, but I didn't know that I am the Seventh Prince himself. My adoptive father never told me about the Seventh Prince. I have never noticed that I have a birthmark on my body. After the death of my adoptive father, I was kicked out of the Bai family by my adoptive mother. It's not relative, it's not good to stay in his mansion for a long time. I had planned to leave the capital, but before leaving the capital, Prime Minister Han suddenly found me and told me that he had found clues about my adoptive father, thinking that I was very likely It is the Seventh Prince, and only then did I know my true life experience, and I went to the palace with Prime Minister Han to face the saint."
The reason Bai Jinfu said was flawless, and Duan Wuji couldn't find any loopholes for a moment. At this time, King Lie rolled his eyes, stood beside Bai Jinfu, and pointed at Duan Wuji's half-truth and half-false words. He jokingly said, "Oh, Wuji, you just have too many eyes. It's a great joy for your seventh uncle to come back. Besides, aren't the birthmarks and experiences at that age correct? Are you still suspicious? What?"
Duan Wuji looked at Lie Wang's smiling face with a half-smile, "Fifth Uncle's words are too hasty, it concerns the blood of the royal family, how can you be vague, of course you have to ask clearly."
King Lie sneered, and said: "Look carefully, the seventh brother looks so much like the father, concubine Han Guifei, concubine Jing Shu and even the national teacher think it looks like it. Is it true that everyone in the world is blind, and you are the only one?" Is it the sharp eyes?"
The prince is a good man, he can't quarrel with anyone, even if Lie Wang is angry in front of him, he won't bother with him, but Duan Wuji's temper is not at all like the prince's father, he is unforgiving, every time Back when I met King Lie, the uncle and nephew would always fight and quarrel before they could say a few words. Emperor Longqing was not surprised by this, and finally got impatient, he slapped the armrest of the chair, and angrily said: "Okay! , Why are you arguing, my head hurts from the quarrel! Don't say a few words to me."
Emperor Longqing lost his temper, King Lie and Duan Wuji shut up knowingly, not daring to provoke the old man again.
Emperor Longqing hated iron and steel and scolded the two of them, "I asked you to come here to see Lao Qi. It's good for you two. You will quarrel whenever you meet. Look at the two of you. You don't look like the eldest grandson of a prince. Even Lao Qi Qidu is calmer than you guys! What a happy event for a reunion, and you two are so unlucky to stir up interest!"
In fact, he doesn't care whether Bai Jinfu is true or not. Even if Bai Jinfu is really the baby who was sent out of the palace back then, there were rumors that Mrs. Lian Shu had an affair with the guards. Not sure, the reason why he wants to get him back is just to find a scapegoat to take as a hostage in Baiyue. In Emperor Longqing's heart, Qi Lie Wang and Duan Wuji really don't understand his mind at all, arguing over such a trivial matter endlessly.
King Lie hurriedly stepped forward to make amends, smiled and acted obediently: "Father, please calm down. It's my son who made a mistake. You are right. This is a happy event. My son congratulates father on having another son to perform his filial piety before his knees."
Emperor Longqing's face softened a little, and he suddenly remembered something, and asked Bai Jin: "By the way, Lao Qi, what was your original name?"
After a long time, without even remembering his name, Bai Jinfu pulled a hypocritical smile on his face and said, "Going back to my father, it's Bai Jinfu, a brocade full of flowers, soaring upwards."
"Since we want to recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors, we have to change our name too. Let's call it..." Emperor Longqing waved his hand indifferently, and still didn't remember it at all. He stroked his beard and pondered for a long time, then decided, "Why not call Duan Tingqi, Qi means auspiciousness, you have been living among the people for many years and suffered, I hope your future life will be auspicious, safe and smooth."
Bai Jinfu knelt down to thank him, "Ting Qi thank you, Father, for giving me the name."
Emperor Longqing looked at Bai Jinfu and nodded happily, and after talking for a long time, Emperor Longqing looked a little tired, stood up with the support of the inner officer, and said: "Okay, it's time for me to take the elixir, you go out first Bar."
The three of them bowed and took their leave, and walked out together.
As soon as he walked outside, King Lie patted Bai Jinfu's shoulder affectionately, "Seventh brother, no wonder people say that fate is mysterious. It turns out that we brothers have met each other a long time ago, and fifth brother brought you a lot of good things." Bring the things here, and let someone bring them to you later, let’s go to your place first, let’s have a good talk, brothers.”
Bai Jinfu smiled and cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you Fifth Brother."
"Father also asked me to bring a gift to Uncle Qi, and I will send it to Uncle Qi later. Wuji has business in Beijing, so he won't stay in the palace for a long time. Uncles, please forgive my nephew for resigning first." Duan Wuji He bowed perfunctorily to King Lie and Bai Jinfu, and was about to leave, but was stopped by King Lie.
"Stop!" Lie Wang looked at Duan Wuji with a half-smile, "Wuji, Fifth Uncle suddenly remembered something, did you whip your Seventh Uncle last time at Lianhuaguan?" ? At that time, I didn’t know that he was your seventh uncle, but now I know, don’t you have to pay your seventh uncle well?”
Bai Jinfu smiled secretly, so he was not the only one who remembered that whip.
Although he knew that King Lie suddenly brought up this matter, it was just to make things difficult for Duan Wuji, and he didn't really want to vent his anger on him, but when Bai Jin Fule saw them biting dogs, he didn't speak out to persuade him, and just stood behind King Lie in silence Keep a polite smile.
Duan Wuji was wrong, and it was not easy to get angry in the face of Lie Wang's attack, so he bowed to Bai Jin, and said lightly: "Uncle Qi, I'm sorry."
"That's it?" Lie Wang raised his chest and raised his chin and sneered, "It's against the rules of human ethics for a nephew to beat his uncle, but he will be punished by God. I, Daliu, always pay attention to filial piety. You said that if the courtiers know about our eldest grandson What would they think if they whipped their own uncle?"
Duan Wuji had a gloomy face, "Then what does Fifth Uncle want?"
King Lie turned his head and pulled Bai Jin to the front of him, "At any rate, kneel down and kowtow to your seventh uncle, and show the attitude you should have when pleading guilty to your elders."
Bai Jinfu pretended to refuse, waved his hands again and again and said, "No need, no need, it's not a big deal."
Lie Wang grabbed Bai Jinfu's arm, not letting him hide, and looked at Duan Wuji with eyes like watching a show, "Don't be afraid, Lao Qi, you are his uncle, you can bear this head!"
Bai Jinfu didn't know that King Lie was trying to provoke him on purpose, nothing else would matter. If he really received Duan Wuji's headlines today, Duan Wuji would definitely hate him when he turned around. King Lie himself anyway He and Duan Wuji are already incompatible on the surface, and he is not afraid of tearing his face, but he has just recovered his identity, so he doesn't want to establish a hostility for himself so soon.
So he twisted his shoulders, got out of King Lie's control, and hid aside pretending to be panicked, "No way, Fifth Brother, how could I accept such a great gift from His Royal Highness the eldest grandson? I don’t know my identity, but in my opinion, let’s just let this matter go.”
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and ran away, like a frightened rabbit, fleeing away from this place of right and wrong.
Duan Wuji looked at the figure of Bai Jin Fu going away, glanced at Lie Wang and said with a sneer: "Uncle Wu wants to find an ally next time, remember to find someone reliable, otherwise he will run away before you finish singing. Don't you make yourself a joke."
The Lie Dynasty spat in the direction where Bai Jinfu left, and said with disdain: "I praised him, after all, I have never seen the world, such a cowardly, A Dou who can't afford it."
-
The news that the Seventh Prince was about to return to the palace soon became known to all the well-informed dignitaries in the capital besides Prince Lie.
Ning'an Hou Mansion is no exception.
Jing Yu has never given up on searching for Bai Jinfu's whereabouts. He has searched all over the capital, and even sent people out of the city to look for his whereabouts in the past two days, but there is still no news about Bai Jinfu.
Just when Jing Yu was about to be at his wit's end, he suddenly heard the rumor that the Seventh Prince had been found and would be sent back to the palace in a few days. He suddenly had doubts about whether the recovered Seventh Prince would be Bai Jinfu , if this is the case, then it's no wonder that he has searched everywhere for so many days, but he still can't find anyone.
But after thinking about it, he thought it was impossible. Except for him and Concubine Shu, Bai Jinfu didn't even know that he was the Seventh Prince. How did the others find him?
The most direct method of verification is nothing more than seeing the true face of the Seventh Prince in Lushan, and all the answers will come to light, so Jing Yu immediately set off to the palace to see Concubine Shu. He wanted to ask Concubine Shu for verification, but when he arrived at the palace, he asked the guards to hand it over. The famous post went in, but Concubine Shu said she was sick and didn't want to see him.
Jing Yu was concerned about Concubine Shu's health, and asked the female officer next to Concubine Shu to convey the message, "Dare to ask my aunt, what's wrong with Concubine Shu, is it serious?"
The female officer faltered and said: "Master Hou, don't worry, Concubine Shu just catches a cold occasionally. The imperial doctor said that as long as you rest, you can recover."
Jing Yu felt relieved when he heard the words, and said to the female official: "Then can I trouble Auntie to take me to the palace, I want to see the Seventh Prince."
"I'm sorry, Lord Marquis, this servant is soft-spoken and has no right to take you into the palace. This servant still has some urgent matters to do, so I will leave first." Concubine Shu had already told the female officer that Marquis Ning'an must not be allowed to enter the palace, so the female official left after saying this. Hastily ran away.
Without seeing Concubine Shu, and without being summoned by Emperor Longqing, Jing Yu couldn't enter the palace. When he was at a loss what to do, he happened to meet Han Yucheng coming out of the palace, and Jing Yu hurriedly stepped forward to stop Han Yucheng.
Han Yucheng was discussing with the officials of the Ministry of Rites the procedure for welcoming the Seventh Prince back to the palace in the future, when he was suddenly stopped by Jing Yu who appeared from nowhere, he was taken aback, and after seeing Jing Yu clearly, he asked with a smile: " It's Marquis Ning'an, do you need me?"
Jing Yu bowed and pointed to the side, "Can Prime Minister Han take a step to speak?"
Han Yucheng thought for a while, nodded, "Yes." Then he followed Jing Yu to the side, "What do you want to say to me, Marquis Ning An?"
Jing Yu didn't make any detours, and asked straight to the point: "Who is the Seventh Prince?"
Han Yucheng raised his eyebrows, "What does Marquis Ning An mean by this? The Seventh Prince is naturally the Seventh Prince, otherwise who else could it be?"
Jing Yu's face was condensed, his jawline restrainedly tightened, and he said coldly, "Mr. Han, is there still a need to play tricks between you and me? Let me ask you, what is the seventh prince's name?"
"Duan Tingqi." Han Yucheng said without changing his expression, "The name was chosen by the emperor himself. I hope that the Seventh Prince will have good luck in the future. What do Ning Anhou think of this name?"
Jing Yu gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "You know that's not what I asked." The man's expression was like a trapped animal. Knowing the answer, he was still doing the last unnecessary struggle, and asked hoarsely, " is it him?"
Han Yucheng smiled calmly, and looked at Jing Yu suddenly with a little pity in his eyes, "Mr. Ning An, who was the Seventh Prince and what was his name? Are these still important now? The emperor and his son have recognized each other, and the seventh prince is the seventh prince. No one can change this. In view of the friendship between colleagues, I kindly advise you to let go of the past, the flower in the mirror, the moon in the water , maybe you never see the truth clearly?"
Jing Yu stared at Han Yucheng in a daze, suddenly sneered, and asked, "You can see clearly what Prime Minister Han meant? Sending an innocent person into a cage, is this what you call kindness?"
Han Yucheng raised his hand suddenly, with the palm facing upwards, and slowly turned his five fingers into fists in front of Jing Yu's eyes, "You are wrong, this time I am the same as you, we are the ones who are being manipulated by others." Then he let go of his palm, patted Jing Yu's shoulder, and said in a tone of sympathy and schadenfreude, "Ning Anhou, please be safe and don't be impatient. You will naturally know when the Seventh Prince is welcomed back to the palace the day after tomorrow." Everything you want to know."
The author has something to say:

Not long after settling down in Chunxi Hall, all kinds of rewards from Emperor Longqing came over like flowing water, gold, silver, jewelry, antique jade, silk and satin... all kinds of treasures filled the room, making people dazzled .
The inner officer who came to deliver the reward finished reading the reward list, helped Bai Jin up, and said with a smile: "The emperor said, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince does not need to thank you, let you rest here, and an inner officer will come to teach you later. You have some etiquette and rules in the palace, and the Clothing Bureau will come to tailor your clothes and make auspicious clothes for you. His Royal Highness is still busy, so the villain will not bother you, and you will leave first."
"Thank you, father-in-law." After sending off the internal officials beside Emperor Longqing, Bai Jinfu looked at the room full of rewards and sneered silently.

Bai Jinfu couldn't help questioning Ji Fengyao, who seemed to have no desires, but kept using drugs to control him, what exactly he wanted.
At that time, Ji Fengyao was standing on the edge of a cliff on the top of the mountain, with a bottomless valley in front of him and a cloudy sky behind him. , long hair fluttering, really like a secluded outworlder here, as if he would ride the wind and go away at any time.
Ji Fengyao raised his eyes and looked into the distance, silent for a long time, then suddenly said that he wanted Emperor Longqing to repent for the mistakes he had made, he wanted to help the child of the woman he loved the most in his life sit on the throne, and make all the descendants of the Duan family prostrate at his feet.
Finally, he turned around, looked at Bai Jinfu without sadness or joy, and said, "If you do it boldly, I will do my best to help you and trample all those who despised you and your mother under their feet." , this was my promise to your mother."
Bai Jinfu is not sure how sincere or false what Ji Fengyao said, but Ji Fengyao did help him a lot today, if he hadn't appeared in time and said those words to Emperor Longqing, today's father and son Recognition drama will not go so smoothly.
After Ji Fengyao delivered the pill to Emperor Longqing, he left the palace without meeting Bai Jinfu. Emperor Longqing was most suspicious and jealous. If he knew that Ji Fengyao had known Bai Jinfu a long time ago, then in front of Emperor Longqing, he would If Ji Fengyao helps Bai Jinfu to speak again, his words will lose credibility and become ulterior motives.

Si Tianjian calculated the auspicious day for Bai Jin to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan.

When Bai Jinfu arrived at Changxin Garden, Emperor Longqing, Lie Wang, and Duan Wuji were chatting with each other. It was a scene of harmony between father and son, filial sons and grandchildren, but as soon as Bai Jinfu walked in, the three of them stopped. After chatting, the three pairs of eyes looked at him, and Bai Jinfu suddenly felt like an uninvited guest who disturbed their shared family relationship. He appeared at a very bad time, and he was the most redundant person in the room.

Bai Jinfu has already changed into the clothes of the prince. He is dressed in crimson brocade clothes embroidered with golden pythons, wearing dragon-patterned boots, wearing a two-dragon opera bead crown for his hair, and a white jade belt around his waist. He grew up by Duan Wuji's side in the royal family since he was a child, and he doesn't lose his bearing.

Bai Jinfu knew the rules and saluted King Lie first, and said in a gentle voice, "I've met Fifth Brother."
King Lie carefully stared at Bai Jinfu's face, looked again and again, and said abruptly, "I seem to have seen this seventh brother before, why does he look so familiar?"
Duan Wuji withdrew his gaze from sweeping Bai Jinfu's face, and said lightly, "Did Uncle Wu lose his memory as he gets older, either it seems to be, or he has seen it before."
Lie Wang cast a dissatisfied glance at Duan Wuji, frowned and tried to recall, then suddenly pointed to Bai Jinfu and suddenly realized: "Is it in Lianhua Temple that day? The one next to Jing Yu's second brother!"
Emperor Longqing sat aside and listened in a daze, and asked strangely: "What is the Lotus Temple? Why, the three of you have seen it before? Why is there still something about Jing Yu?"
Bai Jinfu had expected this day a long time ago, so he explained calmly: "Father doesn't know something, I once lived in Ning'anhou's residence for a while, and one day, I followed Ning'anhou's residence I went to Lianhua Temple to burn incense together, and I happened to meet the fifth prince and the eldest grandson of the emperor, so we met once."

After Bai Jinfu finished speaking, Duan Wuji said in an indifferent manner: "Since the seventh uncle is temporarily staying at the mansion of Ning An Hou, he should know that Ning An Hou was ordered to find the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince. Why did he not show up until now?" ?”
Duan Wuji's words hit the nail on the head. After hearing this, Emperor Longqing really looked at Bai Jinfu's eyes, and gradually became defensive and probing.
Bai Jinfu knew that in the eyes of these people, he might have become someone with bad intentions. He might be pushed out to have his head beheaded if he uttered a wrong sentence. Fortunately, he had already thought about what to do. Reason, calming down, under the watchful eyes of the other three, said neither humble nor overbearing: "I know that Marquis Ning'an is looking for the Seventh Prince, but I didn't know that I am the Seventh Prince himself. My adoptive father never told me about the Seventh Prince. I have never noticed that I have a birthmark on my body. After the death of my adoptive father, I was kicked out of the Bai family by my adoptive mother. It's not relative, it's not good to stay in his mansion for a long time. I had planned to leave the capital, but before leaving the capital, Prime Minister Han suddenly found me and told me that he had found clues about my adoptive father, thinking that I was very likely It is the Seventh Prince, and only then did I know my true life experience, and I went to the palace with Prime Minister Han to face the saint."
The reason Bai Jinfu said was flawless, and Duan Wuji couldn't find any loopholes for a moment. At this time, King Lie rolled his eyes, stood beside Bai Jinfu, and pointed at Duan Wuji's half-truth and half-false words. He jokingly said, "Oh, Wuji, you just have too many eyes. It's a great joy for your seventh uncle to come back. Besides, aren't the birthmarks and experiences at that age correct? Are you still suspicious? What?"
Duan Wuji looked at Lie Wang's smiling face with a half-smile, "Fifth Uncle's words are too hasty, it concerns the blood of the royal family, how can you be vague, of course you have to ask clearly."
King Lie sneered, and said: "Look carefully, the seventh brother looks so much like the father, concubine Han Guifei, concubine Jing Shu and even the national teacher think it looks like it. Is it true that everyone in the world is blind, and you are the only one?" Is it the sharp eyes?"
The prince is a good man, he can't quarrel with anyone, even if Lie Wang is angry in front of him, he won't bother with him, but Duan Wuji's temper is not at all like the prince's father, he is unforgiving, every time Back when I met King Lie, the uncle and nephew would always fight and quarrel before they could say a few words. Emperor Longqing was not surprised by this, and finally got impatient, he slapped the armrest of the chair, and angrily said: "Okay! , Why are you arguing, my head hurts from the quarrel! Don't say a few words to me."
Emperor Longqing lost his temper, King Lie and Duan Wuji shut up knowingly, not daring to provoke the old man again.
Emperor Longqing hated iron and steel and scolded the two of them, "I asked you to come here to see Lao Qi. It's good for you two. You will quarrel whenever you meet. Look at the two of you. You don't look like the eldest grandson of a prince. Even Lao Qi Qidu is calmer than you guys! What a happy event for a reunion, and you two are so unlucky to stir up interest!"
In fact, he doesn't care whether Bai Jinfu is true or not. Even if Bai Jinfu is really the baby who was sent out of the palace back then, there were rumors that Mrs. Lian Shu had an affair with the guards. Not sure, the reason why he wants to get him back is just to find a scapegoat to take as a hostage in Baiyue. In Emperor Longqing's heart, Qi Lie Wang and Duan Wuji really don't understand his mind at all, arguing over such a trivial matter endlessly.
King Lie hurriedly stepped forward to make amends, smiled and acted obediently: "Father, please calm down. It's my son who made a mistake. You are right. This is a happy event. My son congratulates father on having another son to perform his filial piety before his knees."
Emperor Longqing's face softened a little, and he suddenly remembered something, and asked Bai Jin: "By the way, Lao Qi, what was your original name?"
After a long time, without even remembering his name, Bai Jinfu pulled a hypocritical smile on his face and said, "Going back to my father, it's Bai Jinfu, a brocade full of flowers, soaring upwards."
"Since we want to recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors, we have to change our name too. Let's call it..." Emperor Longqing waved his hand indifferently, and still didn't remember it at all. He stroked his beard and pondered for a long time, then decided, "Why not call Duan Tingqi, Qi means auspiciousness, you have been living among the people for many years and suffered, I hope your future life will be auspicious, safe and smooth."
Bai Jinfu knelt down to thank him, "Ting Qi thank you, Father, for giving me the name."
Emperor Longqing looked at Bai Jinfu and nodded happily, and after talking for a long time, Emperor Longqing looked a little tired, stood up with the support of the inner officer, and said: "Okay, it's time for me to take the elixir, you go out first Bar."
The three of them bowed and took their leave, and walked out together.
As soon as he walked outside, King Lie patted Bai Jinfu's shoulder affectionately, "Seventh brother, no wonder people say that fate is mysterious. It turns out that we brothers have met each other a long time ago, and fifth brother brought you a lot of good things." Bring the things here, and let someone bring them to you later, let’s go to your place first, let’s have a good talk, brothers.”
Bai Jinfu smiled and cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you Fifth Brother."
"Father also asked me to bring a gift to Uncle Qi, and I will send it to Uncle Qi later. Wuji has business in Beijing, so he won't stay in the palace for a long time. Uncles, please forgive my nephew for resigning first." Duan Wuji He bowed perfunctorily to King Lie and Bai Jinfu, and was about to leave, but was stopped by King Lie.
"Stop!" Lie Wang looked at Duan Wuji with a half-smile, "Wuji, Fifth Uncle suddenly remembered something, did you whip your Seventh Uncle last time at Lianhuaguan?" ? At that time, I didn’t know that he was your seventh uncle, but now I know, don’t you have to pay your seventh uncle well?”
Bai Jinfu smiled secretly, so he was not the only one who remembered that whip.
Although he knew that King Lie suddenly brought up this matter, it was just to make things difficult for Duan Wuji, and he didn't really want to vent his anger on him, but when Bai Jin Fule saw them biting dogs, he didn't speak out to persuade him, and just stood behind King Lie in silence Keep a polite smile.
Duan Wuji was wrong, and it was not easy to get angry in the face of Lie Wang's attack, so he bowed to Bai Jin, and said lightly: "Uncle Qi, I'm sorry."
"That's it?" Lie Wang raised his chest and raised his chin and sneered, "It's against the rules of human ethics for a nephew to beat his uncle, but he will be punished by God. I, Daliu, always pay attention to filial piety. You said that if the courtiers know about our eldest grandson What would they think if they whipped their own uncle?"
Duan Wuji had a gloomy face, "Then what does Fifth Uncle want?"
King Lie turned his head and pulled Bai Jin to the front of him, "At any rate, kneel down and kowtow to your seventh uncle, and show the attitude you should have when pleading guilty to your elders."
Bai Jinfu pretended to refuse, waved his hands again and again and said, "No need, no need, it's not a big deal."
Lie Wang grabbed Bai Jinfu's arm, not letting him hide, and looked at Duan Wuji with eyes like watching a show, "Don't be afraid, Lao Qi, you are his uncle, you can bear this head!"
Bai Jinfu didn't know that King Lie was trying to provoke him on purpose, nothing else would matter. If he really received Duan Wuji's headlines today, Duan Wuji would definitely hate him when he turned around. King Lie himself anyway He and Duan Wuji are already incompatible on the surface, and he is not afraid of tearing his face, but he has just recovered his identity, so he doesn't want to establish a hostility for himself so soon.
So he twisted his shoulders, got out of King Lie's control, and hid aside pretending to be panicked, "No way, Fifth Brother, how could I accept such a great gift from His Royal Highness the eldest grandson? I don’t know my identity, but in my opinion, let’s just let this matter go.”
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and ran away, like a frightened rabbit, fleeing away from this place of right and wrong.
Duan Wuji looked at the figure of Bai Jin Fu going away, glanced at Lie Wang and said with a sneer: "Uncle Wu wants to find an ally next time, remember to find someone reliable, otherwise he will run away before you finish singing. Don't you make yourself a joke."
The Lie Dynasty spat in the direction where Bai Jinfu left, and said with disdain: "I praised him, after all, I have never seen the world, such a cowardly, A Dou who can't afford it."
-
The news that the Seventh Prince was about to return to the palace soon became known to all the well-informed dignitaries in the capital besides Prince Lie.
Ning'an Hou Mansion is no exception.
Jing Yu has never given up on searching for Bai Jinfu's whereabouts. He has searched all over the capital, and even sent people out of the city to look for his whereabouts in the past two days, but there is still no news about Bai Jinfu.
Just when Jing Yu was about to be at his wit's end, he suddenly heard the rumor that the Seventh Prince had been found and would be sent back to the palace in a few days. He suddenly had doubts about whether the recovered Seventh Prince would be Bai Jinfu , if this is the case, then it's no wonder that he has searched everywhere for so many days, but he still can't find anyone.
But after thinking about it, he thought it was impossible. Except for him and Concubine Shu, Bai Jinfu didn't even know that he was the Seventh Prince. How did the others find him?
The most direct method of verification is nothing more than seeing the true face of the Seventh Prince in Lushan, and all the answers will come to light, so Jing Yu immediately set off to the palace to see Concubine Shu. He wanted to ask Concubine Shu for verification, but when he arrived at the palace, he asked the guards to hand it over. The famous post went in, but Concubine Shu said she was sick and didn't want to see him.
Jing Yu was concerned about Concubine Shu's health, and asked the female officer next to Concubine Shu to convey the message, "Dare to ask my aunt, what's wrong with Concubine Shu, is it serious?"
The female officer faltered and said: "Master Hou, don't worry, Concubine Shu just catches a cold occasionally. The imperial doctor said that as long as you rest, you can recover."
Jing Yu felt relieved when he heard the words, and said to the female official: "Then can I trouble Auntie to take me to the palace, I want to see the Seventh Prince."
"I'm sorry, Lord Marquis, this servant is soft-spoken and has no right to take you into the palace. This servant still has some urgent matters to do, so I will leave first." Concubine Shu had already told the female officer that Marquis Ning'an must not be allowed to enter the palace, so the female official left after saying this. Hastily ran away.
Without seeing Concubine Shu, and without being summoned by Emperor Longqing, Jing Yu couldn't enter the palace. When he was at a loss what to do, he happened to meet Han Yucheng coming out of the palace, and Jing Yu hurriedly stepped forward to stop Han Yucheng.
Han Yucheng was discussing with the officials of the Ministry of Rites the procedure for welcoming the Seventh Prince back to the palace in the future, when he was suddenly stopped by Jing Yu who appeared from nowhere, he was taken aback, and after seeing Jing Yu clearly, he asked with a smile: " It's Marquis Ning'an, do you need me?"
Jing Yu bowed and pointed to the side, "Can Prime Minister Han take a step to speak?"
Han Yucheng thought for a while, nodded, "Yes." Then he followed Jing Yu to the side, "What do you want to say to me, Marquis Ning An?"
Jing Yu didn't make any detours, and asked straight to the point: "Who is the Seventh Prince?"
Han Yucheng raised his eyebrows, "What does Marquis Ning An mean by this? The Seventh Prince is naturally the Seventh Prince, otherwise who else could it be?"
Jing Yu's face was condensed, his jawline restrainedly tightened, and he said coldly, "Mr. Han, is there still a need to play tricks between you and me? Let me ask you, what is the seventh prince's name?"
"Duan Tingqi." Han Yucheng said without changing his expression, "The name was chosen by the emperor himself. I hope that the Seventh Prince will have good luck in the future. What do Ning Anhou think of this name?"
Jing Yu gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "You know that's not what I asked." The man's expression was like a trapped animal. Knowing the answer, he was still doing the last unnecessary struggle, and asked hoarsely, " is it him?"
Han Yucheng smiled calmly, and looked at Jing Yu suddenly with a little pity in his eyes, "Mr. Ning An, who was the Seventh Prince and what was his name? Are these still important now? The emperor and his son have recognized each other, and the seventh prince is the seventh prince. No one can change this. In view of the friendship between colleagues, I kindly advise you to let go of the past, the flower in the mirror, the moon in the water , maybe you never see the truth clearly?"
Jing Yu stared at Han Yucheng in a daze, suddenly sneered, and asked, "You can see clearly what Prime Minister Han meant? Sending an innocent person into a cage, is this what you call kindness?"
Han Yucheng raised his hand suddenly, with the palm facing upwards, and slowly turned his five fingers into fists in front of Jing Yu's eyes, "You are wrong, this time I am the same as you, we are the ones who are being manipulated by others." Then he let go of his palm, patted Jing Yu's shoulder, and said in a tone of sympathy and schadenfreude, "Ning Anhou, please be safe and don't be impatient. You will naturally know when the Seventh Prince is welcomed back to the palace the day after tomorrow." Everything you want to know."
