Likun Palace.

Empress Bai Wan was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, staring at the still beautiful woman in the mirror with a pair of almond eyes, she closed her temples, her long black hair poured down, she found a white hair sharply in her eyes, she twisted her fingers, Pulled it off, held it in his hand, and called out: "Ling'er."

Ling'er has served Bai Wan for many years, upon hearing this, she immediately took an exquisite round box, opened the lid, and handed it to Bai Wan.

"I added another white hair, Ling'er, which one is this?" Bai Wan put the white hair into the box.

Ling'er took the box, carefully put the white hair together with the others, combed it smoothly with a small comb, and tied it with a red string.

"It is known to the whole world that your empress is crowned in the Sixth Palace. She is just a white hair. I think she has been too angry these days and neglected to recuperate. Ling'er will cook you some clearing hot soup and porridge. Naturally, it will be fine. Ling'er sighed secretly, and put away the round box.

"Little girl, you can really talk. Ben Gong is 35 years old, youth is gone, who doesn't know who has eyes, but you, a little girl, can be tricky. It's not that you have served me since childhood, and that I don't slap you."

"Ling'er is telling the truth..."

Ling'er wanted to say a few more pleasant words, but a person from outside had rushed in, plunged into Bai Wan's arms, and cried, "Mother! How am I not as good as that deposed prince?"

Bai Wan hugged the person in her arms, saw his face turning pale with anger, and asked anxiously: "Ah Zheng, what's wrong?"

The fourth prince Luo Zheng kicked the table bitterly, "I greeted my father as usual today. Seeing that I tend to ignore me, my father didn't even finish a sentence, so he kept grabbing Liu Jun and asked two questions." Brother Huang's recent situation, how he eats, where he lives, and whether he is sick."

Luo Zheng's eyes were red, "Mother, I am also his son. I studied martial arts since I was a child, and I dare not slack off in the slightest. But as for the second emperor brother, he was established as the crown prince since he was a child, but he didn't know how to make progress. He was a mess in his studies. He practiced martial arts for many years. I can't even climb on horseback, and I still like masculinity, and I have raised a whole yard of men. After careful calculation, I am no better than that waste prince. Why does the emperor only have that son in his heart, and the other three of us? Brother is extremely cold. Queen Mother, I am not reconciled..."

Bai Wan gently stroked her son's back, and said softly, "Ah Zheng, don't cry, the queen mother loves you."

Bai Wan lowered her head, hiding the cruelty in her eyes.She didn't want her son to see the other side of her loving mother, so she secretly gritted her silver teeth and hugged Luo Zheng to comfort her.

After Luo Zheng left, Bai Wan swept off the makeup and hairpins on the dressing table, and cursed angrily: "Liu Qingyue, I, a living person, can't beat you, a dead person who has been dead for almost 20 years! Hello! Your ability has fascinated the emperor to this day, and he never forgets you."

Bai Wan scolded hoarsely, turned her head to face the mirror, and saw a woman in the bronze mirror with disheveled temple hair, distorted face, and crazy jealousy in her eyes.With a cry of surprise, she raised the incense burner on the table and threw it at it. There was a loud bang, and the bronze mirror was smashed to the ground.

Bai Wan entered the palace at the age of 19, and it has been 16 years now.These 16 years have transformed her from an ignorant girl to a jealous woman full of resentment. 16 years of youth can't be exchanged for a gentle look back from the emperor, not as good as a portrait of the dead Empress Jingyi.Tianqing Emperor Luo Ping would rather sigh and sigh at the portrait of Empress Jingyi in his bedroom, rather than step into her Likun Palace and talk to her as a living person.

She hated it, saying that there was no husband and wife in the Tian Family, but Luo Ping had a deep affection for the dead Empress Jingyi, Liu Qingyue, and cherished her heart. Even the useless son she left behind, Luo Ping cared for and loved her in every possible way. .

That being the case, don't make her a queen with the same decoration, she Liu Qingyue is human, isn't she human?Why should she endure the loneliness in the harem, alone guarding this luxurious palace that is even colder than the cold palace, until her temples grow gray hair.

Bai Wan's eyes showed madness, Ling'er was too frightened to move, she shivered and called out: "Niang Niang." She didn't dare to speak again.

Bai Wan quickly calmed down, raised her hand to straighten her hair and clothes, and said in a cold voice, "Ling'er, call Sun Changfu!"

"Yes!"

Ling'er ran out quickly, and brought a man in after a while.

The man's voice was sharp, he was dressed as a fourth-rank eunuch, and his thin body was wrapped in royal blue arrow sleeves, he followed Ling'er neatly, turned over and bowed down, saying: "Your Majesty is a thousand years old."

Bai Wan had already calmed down, she looked at the man in front of her coldly, "Sun Changfu, have you done what I asked you to do?"

Sun Changfu bowed his head and replied: "I left the palace from the prince..."

Bai Wan slammed the table and shouted: "Shut up! Where else is there any prince in Dongli Kingdom? Only my Ah Zheng can be the future prince!"

Sun Changfu showed no signs of fear, changed his address, and continued to answer: "I have sent people to follow the second prince since he left the palace. The second prince was accompanied by only an ordinary servant named Liuyan and a servant named Yan Junyu. They The three of them have been living in Zhushikou, Nancheng, and there has been no change, nor have they seen any news from the second prince and the emperor."

Sun Changfu briefly talked about Luo Ming and the three of them.

Bai Wan nodded, called Sun Changfu to come forward, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Take a few people and cut the weeds and root them out."

Sun Changfu was startled, "Your Majesty means..."

Bai Wan sneered and said: "Yes, I want you to kill the second prince Luo Ming and the two servants around him, cut the weeds and root them out, and leave no one behind, lest the emperor always think about this disaster and make my Ah Zheng unhappy. "

Sun Changfu heard it clearly, and agreed: "Yes!" He turned and exited Likun Palace.

A faint smile appeared on Bai Wan's face, and she said to Ling'er: "Clean up, let's go to Kangqian Palace to greet the emperor."

Ling'er was chilled by the smile on her face, she hurriedly lowered her head to tidy up the scattered things, and stopped looking at Bai Wanming's beautiful face.

At this time, Luo Ming didn't know that a catastrophe was coming.

He has been fighting against Jiang Nianbai for the past few days, but it is a pity that he has never won against him.

Apart from going to the court every day, Jiang Nianbai almost wished he could grow up with Luo Ming, following every step, wherever Luo Ming went, he would follow.

Luo Ming is not a good-tempered person, when he meets this kind of stalker, he can turn his face faster than a book.But the stalker was Jiang Nianbai, and Luo Ming was at a disadvantage. On the one hand, Luo Ming always thought of his talent and didn't want to use force against him; on the other hand, Jiang Nianbai was cunning and capable Eloquent and eloquent, with a skin as thick as a city wall, Luo Ming really couldn't beat him, so he had to hide and run whenever he could.

As soon as he entered Huifangzhai today, Jiang Nianbai had already arrived ahead of Luo Ming, sitting behind the desk with a volume of ancient books, enjoying himself.

Shopkeeper Yang especially welcomes Jiang Nianbai to Huifangzhai. With such a live signboard, the store has added a bit of face for no reason.In the past few days, he often talked with Jiang Nianbai about the past and the present, and he really felt that he had benefited a lot.

Luo Ming sighed when he saw Jiang Nianbai, and didn't want to say hello, just changed his clothes and went to work.

Shopkeeper Yang stopped Luo Ming, "Little Sanzi, you don't need to do these jobs in the store. If you send some paper and ink to Li Yuanwai's house in Dongcheng today, it's none of your business."

Luo Ming wondered, this is to let him send paper and ink, so that he can go home or move around freely. Shopkeeper Yang is today... Looking up and seeing Jiang Nianbai blinking at him, Luo Ming knew that he must have opened up the joint with Shopkeeper Yang.

To earn money from others, you have to listen to what they say. Luo Ming didn't refute. He took the two boxes of pens and inks and turned to go out.

Jiang Nianbai really chased him out, and walked side by side with Luo Ming, the paper fan swaying gently, indescribably chic and comfortable.

Luo Ming said helplessly: "Master Jiang, don't you have to go to court today? Are you so free to deliver the goods with me?"

Jiang Nianbai folded his folding fan and said solemnly: "These days are not safe for a long time, and you will be exempted from court for three days. Does the Second Prince know why?"

how could I know.Luo Ming was depressed.

"Your Majesty misses the second prince, and becomes ill from depression. I heard that the emperor often sheds tears at the portrait of Empress Jingyi, making it difficult to sleep late at night. The second prince..."

Jiang Nianbai said these words because he wanted to see Luo Ming's reaction.

Dongli ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety. When his son heard that Lao Tzu was sick, no matter how bastard his son was, he would not be worried at all, and he would be a little moved. At that time, he would be able to persuade Luo with affection and reason. Ming went back to court again.

It's a pity that Jiang Nianbai made a wrong calculation.He didn't know that the second prince Luo Ming had been replaced by a soul from another world in his bones. He was a complete stranger to Tianqing Emperor Luo Ping, so how could he show any concern on his face.Luo Ping is not as important to Luo Ming as Liu Yan and Yan Junyu are in his heart.

Luo Ming responded coldly.Jiang Nianbai was disappointed in his heart, but not discouraged. He talked to Luo Ming about Emperor Tianqing's illness along the way, and soon went to Li Yuanwai's residence.

After the handover is over, Luo Ming keeps the accounts as usual.

Remembering that he didn't have to go back to Huifangzhai again, Luo Ming quickened his pace, wanting to go home earlier and help Liuyan strengthen the roof. Seeing that the weather was getting colder, if it snowed, the thatched roof of the house would have to be crushed if it snowed heavily. field.

Jiang Nianbai grabbed Luo Ming, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Second prince, the weather is fine today, and the second prince and I will go shopping on Zhuque Street, how about it?"

Not much!

Luo Ming said: "I won't go! I still have something to do at home, we will meet up with you some other day." After saying that, he wanted to leave.

Jiang Nianbai didn't let Luo Ming go, he pulled his sleeve and dragged Luo Ming to Zhuque Street.

Zhuque Street is directly facing the south gate of the imperial city, hence the name. It is a straight avenue leading directly to the north and south of the capital. With a family.

Since Luo Ming came to this world, he has been busy with his livelihood. He has never really seen the life in the capital of Dongli Kingdom. He was pulled by Jiang Nianbai to look around, and his addiction came up after a while. , Look at everything fresh.Thinking that it was still early, it would not be a problem to go shopping for a while.

Jiang Nianbai pointed to a pawnshop on the east side and said: "This pawnshop is famous for being black-hearted and rotten in Beijing. The second prince must walk around here. Do you see the word '白'? All pawnshops marked with the name Bai You have to be careful with all the shops, silver houses, and grain companies. These companies are all owned by the Taiping Hou Bai family. They are dominant in Beijing and squeeze out their peers. For the same thing, they have to use the name "for the imperial use" in their names. It’s more than twice as expensive as other people’s homes.”

Luo Ming looked up and saw a well-decorated storefront on the street, with a guise at the door, with the words "Baiji" written on it in big letters.

Walking forward again, Jiang Nianbai pointed to another place for Luo Ming to see.

There is a corner between this place and an alley, and there is a lot of voices and shouts at the corner, and there are shouts of "buy it and leave it" from time to time.On a blue cloth curtain at the door, there is a huge "gambling" character written on it. From a distance, one can tell that this is a gambling house.Looking next to the door, the tall one also picked up a cover with "Bai Ji" written on it.

Jiang Nianbai even pointed out several companies are like this.

Luo Ming knew that Jiang Nianbai had a trick, and he wouldn't just drag him around.

Glancing at him, Luo Ming asked, "These gambling games, pawnshops, and money houses are all run by Taipinghou Bai's family?"

Jiang Nianbai was overjoyed, slapped his palm lightly with the folding fan, and said with a smile, "Exactly."

Luo Ming thought to himself, no wonder, Taipinghou Bai's family is the natal family of the current empress Bai Wan, relying on her daughter to be the empress in the palace, naturally her waist is thicker than other merchants.
