Once magnificent, now brilliant

Concentrated, Bai Junyu asked, "Do you still like the incense I gave you earlier?"

Qi Xiang took another piece of rose cake, put the etiquette aside temporarily, and said while eating: "It's very good, the taste is elegant, and it's more convenient than carrying a sachet. I haven't had such a good thing before, and Pan Butler also thinks it's rare." , Every time you wash your clothes, you have to smoke for a while."

"That's good. I'll change it for you when you get tired of using it. Men don't use as much incense as women, but most of them have a light taste, which is still good."

The rich families in Beijing are also very particular about this aspect. Apart from being arty, what is more important is that if you meet a girl you like, you can go up and talk to her without any peculiar smell, and you can also leave a good impression on the girl's family.

"There are still many, at least this year there is no need to change." Originally, he said he wanted to smoke the clothes in the store, but Xianxuan didn't agree, so that's all.

Seeing that Qi Xiang enjoyed eating mouthful after mouthful, Bai Junyu took advantage of the situation and said, "Let's stay for dinner, there are still some flowers left, let the kitchen cook you fried petals and steamed tofu with fresh flowers."

"Yesterday, I saved food, so I won't keep it today. It's not like that to eat your food every day." Qi Xiang refused.

"It's only two days, and it's still far from 'every day'." Bai Junyu said, "And my leg is expected to heal. Isn't it worth you to stay and have a meal with me?"

For a moment, Qi Xiang couldn't tell which one was Bai Junyu who called him here, the basket of rose cakes, or his leg being healed.But the words had come to this point, so he had to follow along, so he pretended to be surprised and hurriedly asked about the situation, so he had to stay for the meal.

"The third prince was not involved in this incident, but he was relieved of the restraint." At the dinner table, Qi Xiang was not hungry because he ate too much rose pancakes, so he just ate a few bites with Bai Junyu.

Bai Junyu has a good appetite, and he didn't deliberately serve Qi Xiang food. He guessed that Qi Xiang would not be able to eat, "The third prince is not going out now, and he is not taking the initiative to discuss matters. It seems that he is going to keep a low profile to the end. If He Li wants to bite him It's not impossible, it's just that He Yu'en is dead, and he probably won't be able to bite at all, and he may be bitten back. We can only think about it in the long run."

The lunatic's words cannot be trusted, and the ambiguous relationship between He Zhuen and the third prince cannot be known to everyone. Once He Yuen dies, no one can correct him.

"Where's the maid next to He Yuen? Surely someone knows about it?" Qi Xiang remembered that his master told him that on the day Bai Junyu went to war, He Yuen went out to the third prince with a maid after returning to the mansion.

Bai Junyu said: "The most trustworthy maid by He Yuen's side is Shui Lin. I asked someone to inquire about it. It was said that when He's mansion was raided, she slipped into the well and drowned."

"What a coincidence." Qi Xiang's comment was somewhat mocking.In the eyes of many bureaucrats, the life of a servant is not life.

"This morning, the emperor has handed over the He family's follow-up to the second prince." Bai Junyu's tone was calm.

"Second prince? This is new." The second prince Rong Qing is the son of Concubine Mei, and like Rong Cang, he is a prince who is not valued very much.Concubine Mei was born in a small family, and she was promoted to the concubine position because she gave birth to a prince, but her natal family did not have any support, and the second prince was not favored by the emperor, so she was considered a transparent person among princes.

Bai Junyu also heard what his father said when he came back, "The third prince said he was sick, but he was actually avoiding suspicion. The fourth prince was worried about me, so he sued the emperor on the day he came back and said he would take care of me. He couldn't share the worries of the emperor for the time being. The emperor also agreed. So now only the second prince is available. The second prince has no experience in the court, and he has no connections. It is the best to deal with this kind of thing, and no one will take sides."

"It seems that the emperor has considered everything carefully. The fourth prince still needs to remind a few more words. The third prince is silent, and the fourth prince should follow suit. Since he used the reason of taking care of you, he will continue to use it and not interfere with it." He is concerned with political matters, and he is only worried about you, which will also make it impossible for those who want to provoke him. You were hurt because of him. The Fourth Prince is right about this, but others may not think so. They will guess that you have a bad temper because of your injury. Change, maybe there is a chance to provoke the relationship between you and the fourth prince, and let you switch to others. On the side of the fourth prince, the person who wants to provoke will also make up that you are complaining because of your injury, you have hatred in your heart, and you are no longer willing to help sincerely Such a reason. So at this time

When you and the fourth prince have less contact with others, you can minimize troubles to the greatest extent.As for the recovery of your leg, don't talk about it for the time being, it's just a good time to see who wants to make trouble, so you can guard against it in the future. "It's about Bai Junyu, he has to remind a few more words.

Bai Junyu nodded, "I understand. I will write a book in a while and ask Bai Ru to send it to the fourth prince. Please don't worry too much, just cultivate yourself."

In the next few days, Qi Xiang didn't visit Bai Junyu again, and Bai Junyu didn't find any reason to call him over.Qi Xiang felt that always being too attentive would arouse suspicion.Bai Junyu needs to think about it carefully, for a man to be tempted, there are many things that he needs to worry about. In fact, he should have thought that it was very wrong for him to think of Qi Xiang frequently during the expedition.

But Shi Zhou went to give Bai Junyu acupuncture and moxibustion step by step every day, and told Qi Xiang about Bai Junyu's situation when he came back, so Qi Xiang naturally didn't need to worry too much.

In the harem, the queen called all the concubines to come and talk to relieve boredom. Concubine Mei said she wanted to accompany her and pleaded guilty.The fourth prince's mother and concubine Concubine Shu took the lead with the sisters.

The queen is no longer at an age of elegance and good looks, and the concubines in the harem are also getting younger and more beautiful. As the main palace, in order to cheer herself up, she always likes to dress up with gold ornaments. If the whole person stands under the sun, It's like it's glowing.But she is a queen, and the palaces can only flatter her, so how dare she say no?

After giving the seat, the queen said: "Concubine Mei is accompanying you today, and the second prince has a good face in front of the emperor. Concubine Mei teaches well. You should learn more from Concubine Mei."

"Yes." All the concubines responded, while those who had no children showed awkward expressions.

Empress: "When it comes to teaching, the princes are all grown up, except for the sixth prince, they are all past the age of marriage. The first princess is not blessed, she left at a young age, the first prince is sad, and I don't want to disturb him The second prince's main concubine is gentle and virtuous, and the second prince's ability to share the emperor's worries today must be inseparable from the second prince's concubine's considerate care. Concubine Shu."

"The concubine is here." Concubine Shu's eyelids twitched, but she didn't show anything on her face.

"It's time for the fourth prince to pick a concubine." The queen said earnestly.

Concubine Shu smiled and said: "The empress's concern is the fourth prince's blessing. It's just that this child is worried about General Bai now, so I'm afraid he doesn't have such thoughts. In addition, when he mentioned it to his concubine before, he also said, They are all senior and orderly, the elder brother has not married a wife, it is not easy for the younger brother to surpass, but there is no rush."

The queen kept smiling, "The third prince's main concubine, Bengong, is also paying attention, but there are too many women of the right age, and I can't pick them out for a while, and the emperor has to make up his mind."

What she said was to tell Concubine Shu that the third prince's marriage was decided by the emperor himself, and the fourth prince's marriage was decided by her.

"The third prince is the emperor's most trusted and beloved prince. It would be perfect for the emperor to choose him personally. Then wait until the emperor bestows a marriage for the third prince, and then choose the concubines for the fourth prince. It's too early if there is a change , it’s not good for the reputation of the girl’s family.” Concubine Shu prevaricated with beautiful words.

"The third prince's marriage is said to be fast, so it doesn't matter if you pick it first."

Concubine Shu suppressed her anger, "I'm really afraid of hurting the girl's reputation and causing people in the world to discuss it."

"The marriage of a concubine, how can people in the world talk about it? I'm afraid you think too much." The queen's smile turned into a sneer.

"The concubines don't dare. It's just for the sake of the royal reputation. The emperor also advocates brotherhood and brotherhood the most. Without the emperor's approval, it is really difficult for the concubines to rush ahead of the third prince in choosing a marriage for the fourth prince."

Taking the emperor out to suppress her, the empress was naturally dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to disobey the emperor's will on the prince's matter, so she pretended to be indifferent and said: "Then I will ask the emperor's opinion at night and then tell you. By the way, How is General Bai doing now?"

The queen suddenly asked about Bai Junyu, and Concubine Shu could only answer more cautiously, "The hospital has nothing to do. General Fengbei has been looking for a famous doctor outside, hoping to help General Bai's leg injury, but there is no movement so far."

"General Bai is not too young." The queen looked concerned.

Concubine Shu lowered her eyes and said, "Same age as the Fourth Prince."

"Then it's time to get married. I heard that he took a fancy to the late He family girl? He Li also

It was because he didn't want his daughter to marry him that he made such a bad move. "

"This concubine is not clear, it should be just a rumor. If it is true, both of them have reached the marriageable age, and the Bai family should have come to propose marriage." She knew He Li's letter before his death, but she felt that the matter was not so serious Simple, if He Li really doesn't want to, just marry He Yuen as soon as possible.Or if you find a reason such as a horoscope disagreement, you can refuse it, and you definitely don't have to go to this step.

The queen is dissatisfied. Doesn't this mean that there is something wrong with He Li's suicide note?

"Empress." Concubine De Gui smiled and said, "I heard that Miss He is calling our Third Highness in prison."

Concubine Shu was startled, she didn't know about this, if it was true, then...

"Nonsense!" The queen said angrily, "How dare you spread such nonsense? She is a lunatic, and she is afraid that she is always wishful thinking, and she will utter slander after she is insane."

This Concubine Degui was the best friend of Empress Yuan, and the two married the emperor together, one was the main concubine and the other was the side concubine, and they had a very good relationship.The current empress is the successor, and after the death of Empress Yuan, the eldest prince she gave birth to has been taken care of by Concubine De Gui.It's just that Concubine Degui has no heirs, and she will not have any at this age. If she had had heirs back then, she would have deserved the position of empress.Now the emperor intends to promote her as imperial concubine, but he is just considering whether to be promoted next year, or to wait for the eldest prince to marry again to add a good fortune.

And in the harem, the only one who dares to compete with the queen is this noble concubine. She is also the only noble concubine in the palace, and has won the emperor's attention and trust.

"No, no, it's good that the empress is careful not to let the emperor know about it. Don't worry about other princes' affairs." Concubine Degui picked up the teacup and skimmed the tea foam, "A place like the Ministry of Justice is crazy. Personally, it's normal. Who knows if He Li is also crazy, leaving such a deceitful letter? Now that the person is dead, there is no need to bring up those far-fetched rumors."

The queen had nothing to say for a while, she didn't know how Concubine De Gui knew about He Yuen's crazy words, but just like what Concubine De Gui said, even if these words were crazy, the emperor couldn't let them know.

"Okay, I'm tired, you all step back." The empress didn't dare to say more on this, Concubine Degui is too powerful, too many words will make mistakes.

All the concubines got up and left.

The queen stared at the backs of Concubine De Gui and Concubine Shu bitterly, as if she wished she could swallow them alive.In this way, the matter of proposing marriage to Bai Junyu was also disrupted.

"Your Majesty calm down, why bother with them." Mammy brought some hot tea, carefully persuading her.

The queen rolled her eyes, "Now Li'er in this palace has to keep a low profile. I don't know when the emperor will be able to use it again. The second prince is not a successful man, and I don't want to bother with it. But the fourth prince, who was originally gone. The emperor has rewarded all the rewards, so I have to be afraid. The best way now is to separate the fourth prince and Bai Junyu. If someone of my own can marry the fourth prince as the concubine, it will be much more convenient to blow the pillow breeze in the future .It’s just that concubine Shu is obedient to the death ceremony, so it’s not easy.”

The mother smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince and Concubine Shu keep their etiquette, so you don't have to worry too much about it. But General Bai needs a wife to take care of his daily life. You should mention it to the Emperor as planned. The Emperor is sympathetic to his ministers, presumably Will not refuse."

The queen nodded, "Go and ask the emperor when he will be free to see me."

"Yes."

Concubine Shu caught up with Concubine De Gui and thanked her.

Concubine Degui smiled and said: "When the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty was here, she treated her leniently and benevolently, which can be called an example in the harem. What about now? There is a smoky atmosphere, jealous of utilitarianism, and I am too lazy to look at it. You, take good care of your son, don't let She figured it out and went."

"Thank you for your teaching, Concubine Gui." Concubine Shu knew that she was powerless to contend with the Empress, so she tolerated everything.

Concubine Degui said no more, turned around and left.

This was originally just a scheme by the women in the harem, but Bai Guanyou was left behind by the emperor the next day after the early court.

"Aiqing, Jun Yu has also reached the age of marriage, do you have any plans?" The emperor didn't smile, as if he was talking about state affairs rather than small talk.

"Your Majesty, Jun Yu is in such a state now that it is really not suitable for marriage. The minister and the humble Jing are also

Don't want to force him, let nature take its course. "Bai Guanyou thought about replying.

"With Jun Yu's military exploits, he can be a princess or marry the daughter or granddaughter of a minister's family."

"Don't dare." Bai Guanyou understood that this was the point of the emperor calling him, "Your majesty, Jun Yu has a bad temper and is indifferent, and he is also very worried about his marriage minister. I used to have a relationship with the humble Jing Jing." After discussing it, I feel that it is good to marry a girl from an ordinary family, as long as she is virtuous and gentle. I also mentioned it to Jun Yu, and he has no objection. Girls from ordinary families are not as valuable as princesses and young ladies, but Zhuojing is also from a small family. My husband and wife are harmonious and never unhappy. Therefore, I feel that the family is not important, what is important is being able to get along with Jun Yu. The Chen family is a military general, with a rough heart and little attention, so it is not easy to wrong a valuable person. An ordinary girl is fine. "

The emperor smiled, "Since you say that, then I won't marry Jun Yu."

The queen came to him yesterday and mentioned that there was a niece in her natal family who was about the same age as Bai Junyu. If the emperor wanted to, she could propose marriage.If you think it's not good, there are also princesses and princesses of the right age who are also very good.Bai Junyu has military merits, and the emperor refers to marriage as a show of favor, which is the best.

But the emperor didn't want it in his heart. If Princess Shang married a high-ranking woman, it would be easy to bring Bai Guanyou and Bai Junyu into the center of power. In the future, it will be difficult to kill the master with high meritorious deeds.

Now that Bai Guanyou's words are in line with the emperor's wishes, he is naturally more willing to use the Bai family.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love. If Jun Yu marries an ordinary woman in the future, it will be the greatest blessing to be granted a marriage by the Emperor. I don't need anything else."

Fengbei General's Mansion——

But Shizhou was administering needles to Bai Junyu.

While waiting to keep the needle, Bai Junyu suddenly asked: "Doctor Que, do you know Qi Xiang?"

But Shi Zhou calmly wrote a new medicinal bath prescription, "What did the general say? I can't understand."

Bai Junyu smiled and said, "The incense smell on your body is exactly the same as Qi Xiang's. I gave that incense to Qi Xiang. It is impossible to have a second copy in Beijing, and ordinary people can't buy it."
