Once magnificent, now brilliant

"Didn't return all night?" Bai Junyu frowned.At this age, not returning home all night is not a big deal, but you should tell your family not to worry them.

"Well. Those servants can't see Jun Yang, and they don't report in time, for fear of punishment. We can't keep such people in our house. When Jun Yang returns, I'm going to sell them all." Mrs. Bai There can't be any hidden dangers at home.

"Mother is the one who decides." Mother has always had the final say on family matters, Bai Junyu didn't ask much, let alone question, "The most important thing right now is to get Jun Yang back and send him back to the White House."

Madam Bai frowned in dissatisfaction, "He disappeared without saying a word, where should I find him?" This was the first time for her to deal with such a thing.

Bai Junyu thought for a while, and said: "Let's go to the brothel and look for it. There are not many places where Jun Yang can stay. He may not be willing to go to inns and taverns. It's also meaningless to him. My aunt sold his house before. Concubine, he is upset and misses women, that kind of place is probably the most reluctant choice. It's still early, the brothel hasn't woken up yet, and he probably went to bed late, so he didn't have time to sneak back."

According to Bai Junyu's analysis, it's not impossible, "But at this time, it's not good to look for Junyang from brothel to brothel, right?" There are no brothels open on that street during the day, and ordinary people can go there. People are prone to gossip.

Bai Junyu smiled and said: "Let's not show up. I will ask Bai Ru to go to the uncle's mansion in a while, and tell the uncle quietly to let him look for it. Let's stop getting that fishy." When the time comes, his uncle will look for it. Or wait for Bai Junyang to go back by himself, and they will ignore it.Bai Junyang is such an old man, it's not their fault that he doesn't return all night.

Mrs. Bai thought for a while, and thought it was a good idea, so she said: "Don't let Bai Ru go, I'll send someone to tell. It's not appropriate for you, a junior, to say this. It just so happens that I have to back up the supplements and send them, by the way. .”

"That's fine. If Uncle doesn't look for him and Jun Yang is back, it's considered reasonable for you to arrange for someone to send him back."

"Okay, you can rest." Mrs. Bai patted Bai Junyu's leg, and left, the sorrow on her face disappeared.It's not very honest to push the matter out, but to put it bluntly, Bai Junyang is not her son, even if she is an elder, she doesn't have much position and qualifications to discipline her, so it's best to hand it over to the White House.

When the people sent by Mrs. Bai returned, they brought the servants of the Bai Mansion with them.After packing up Bai Junyang's things, he left. Obviously, Bai Shangli sent someone to find his son. As for how much commotion there was, it had nothing to do with them.

Half a month later, missions of various ethnic groups arrived in Beijing one after another, bringing many treasures and rare animals to show their sincerity.In addition to the Ni tribe that trades with Dachuan, there are also a few tribes that have good relations with Dachuan but have not yet done business. The rest are on the sidelines.Some of them knew that Bai Junyu was seriously injured and wanted to find out the truth.

The post house is properly arranged, and the security guards are in charge of it. Whether there is a discrepancy or not, it has nothing to do with the second and third princes.

Qi Xiang came to see Bai Junyu as before. Bai Junyu can stand up now and can take steps slowly, which shows that he is recovering well.

Bai Junyu is not a talkative person, Qi Xiang can find some topics, but he can't talk about everything in front of the person he likes.There are some things he has to do that cannot be mentioned in words.So most of the time, two people share a plate of pastries or fruits, two cups of tea, and read a book for a day. When they see interesting content, they will talk about it. It doesn’t feel boring, but it feels better than when I was in class.

But today Bai Junyu asked Bai Ru to bring the book, but chatted with him about other things, "Have you seen the second prince recently?"

Qi Xiang didn't lie either, "I met you three days ago and told me that the mission has basically arrived. All ethnic groups are very satisfied with the arrangements made by the Ministry of Rites this time, and even sent him a lot of gifts."

"This time the third prince has done his best." Bai Junyu commented, so far, he has never heard of the third prince fighting against the second prince, so he knows the seriousness.

Qi Xiang didn't want to give the third prince such a good evaluation, "The embassy has just arrived, so we don't know if the third prince has other thoughts until the end of the celebration."

"Speaking of other thoughts, have you heard? The second prince sent a girl to the emperor."

"When did it happen?" Qi Xiang was startled.Sending off parents and brothers to each other is reasonable, but if a son gives his father a woman, doesn't that mean he is giving himself a daughter?Normally it is impossible, which is absurd.

"The emperor accepted it?" Even if the second prince's actions were absurd, the emperor should always be cautious, right?

Bai Junyu said with a slight smile, "It's accepted. I heard what happened the day before yesterday from the Fourth Prince."

"Your Majesty..." Qi Xiang really couldn't figure it out. This kind of thing can't be said to have never existed in the past dynasties, but it is still rare. The evaluation of later generations is not good. Even if the emperor doesn't think about the second prince, he has to think about himself. ?

"I heard that the girl looks like a bright moon, and her beauty dominates the sixth palace. The second prince sent her to Concubine Mei's palace, and the emperor happened to be there. Concubine Mei praised her beauty, and said that if she could see her often in the palace, It is also beautiful. Because it is in the concubine's womb, Concubine Mei also looks happy, the emperor likes it in his heart, so he agrees. It is said that it is a maid given to Concubine Mei by the second prince's mansion, and the emperor has taken a fancy to it." Bai Junyu also heard a lot and said a lot.

Qi Xiang sneered, "I didn't see it, the second prince's way is quite wild."

"Do you know what he wants to do?" Bai Junyu asked.

Qi Xiang looked at him, "Can't you guess?"

"I have ideas, but they may not be comprehensive. Among the princes, only he and the third prince are in power. Concubine Mei has never been the emperor's favorite, and the current favor is also because of the second prince's face. The second prince thinks that the son is as precious as the mother." It's possible, I can only think of another way to consolidate my position." Bai Junyu said.

Qi Xiang smiled, "What else?"

Bai Junyu continued: "In this celebration, in terms of merit at the end, the second prince will at most be tied with the third prince. But the second prince took over the matter first and spent more energy than the third prince. If the credit is the same, with the character of the second prince, He is bound to be dissatisfied, and he will attribute it to the third prince as the queen's son, so the emperor is especially able to speak. If this calculation is started, for this favorite concubine, the emperor will treat the second prince preferentially in the future."

Talking to Bai Junyu is comfortable, Bai Junyu has already analyzed the matter to the point of closeness, he only needs to add one or two things, "All ethnic groups come to congratulate, in addition to gifts, beauties are also indispensable, there is no guarantee that there will be no outstanding beauty. If a foreign race takes the lead, it will be difficult for the second prince to pass the harem to gain the emperor's respect. So it is better to act first and send a beauty to the emperor. If he can captivate the emperor's heart, the beauty from the foreign race will not be able to enter the emperor's palace. Now that you've seen it, naturally it's not a threat to him or Concubine Mei."

There was mockery in Bai Junyu's eyes, "Do you think the second prince's plan is good or not?"

Qi Xiang got up and went to the bookshelf to get a book, "No one is happy for a hundred days, and flowers are not red for a hundred days. No matter how beautiful a person is, there will be times when I get tired of looking at it. Even if it is interesting and courageous, it is no harm to put it in an ordinary family. Husband’s liking is also a good match for the case. But it is the emperor, there are countless beauties in the harem, and there will always be more interesting and courageous ones. And there must be a limit to both of these, too much, it will only make the emperor wary and bored."

"It seems that the second prince's calculation is going to be empty." Bai Junyu and Qi Xiang had the same idea, and it was only a matter of time for the second prince.

The rare animals sent by foreigners this time include tigers, snow leopards, peacocks, antelopes, elephants, etc., as well as charming and enchanting dancers and a herd of fat black horses, which can pull out a long line.The emperor liked it when he saw it, so he decreed that on the afternoon of the celebration, a parade would be organized to let the people in Beijing have fun together.

This is of course a good thing for the common people.These rare beasts may not be seen in the imperial garden or palace, but for the common people, they are really rare to see.Neighbors have been invited, ready to go together.

The recovery of Bai Junyu's lower limbs can be described as gratifying. Xianzhen discussed with Rong Cang that Rong Cang would be the host, and Xianzhen arranged for Bai Junyu and Qi Xiang to have dinner together.

Bai Junyu hadn't gone out for a long time, since it was Rongcang's treat this time, and the four of them were together, there was naturally no reason to refuse.

The private room that Xianxuan booked is near the post house. Looking down from the second floor, you can see many foreigners wandering around to buy.

"This celebration banquet, you

Ben should be there too.But your injury was not healed, Father asked my opinion, I didn't have time to discuss it with you, so I refused it for you.It is not convenient for you to move back and forth, so it is better for you to continue resting at home.I was also thinking that many of the foreigners came to check on you this time. You are recovering well now, but it is best not to let them know, lest they have other thoughts. "Rong Cang said without concealment.

Bai Junyu nodded, "Well, among other things, there are many rules at the banquet, so I really don't want to go."

"If there is anything special at the banquet, I will send someone to tell you."

"Okay. Your Highness should also pay attention to safety, and be careful about what you eat." In that kind of occasion, it is not possible to poison, but if it is mixed with other things, it will not be good.

"Don't worry, I'll go after I'm full and try not to move during the dinner." Father didn't care if they ate or not, and they couldn't see clearly even if they were sitting far away.

After talking about the business, Xianxuan suggested that they go to see it together on the parade three days later.He has already spotted a spot, and when the time comes, let the servants go and occupy it first, and they will go later, so that they can see those rare beasts at the closest distance.Even though they may have seen most of those rare beasts, but Bai Junyu must be bored after staying at home for many days, and Qi Xiang has probably never seen them in the west for many years, so he just took this opportunity to take a look and he would feel better.

"I've already told my grandfather that he will also go with us." Xian Xuan was in high spirits, and this was a rare occasion for the four of them to enjoy together.

Qi Xiang pondered secretly for a while, then smiled and said: "Okay, let's make it like this."

He is interested, so Bai Junyu is naturally willing to accompany him.Rong Cang had nothing to do, so he had the right to join in the fun. With his status, it's not easy to join in the fun, so he just went to the banquet after watching it in the afternoon, so he wouldn't be late.

There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Er walked in with a tall man dressed as a foreigner.

Just when Bai Junyu and the others were wondering who this person was, the other party suddenly smiled, "Ah Xiang, long time no see."

Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment, then stood up and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"
