White Hedge Dream

Chapter 273 Meeting

Numerous prying eyes outside Princess Jinyu's mansion promptly spread the news about the movements of King Chu and Princess Chu.

"Madam, you must be disappointed." Xu's mother said with a smile, sitting aside and cutting the melon into small pieces.

Although it was ridiculous, after listening to Mrs. Dongyang Hou's suggestion, the Hou Mansion still sent people to check outside the gate of Princess Jinyu's Mansion. In any case, Princess Chu was married from the Hou Mansion.

As a result, the news came that Princess Jinyu did not make things difficult. The door of the palace opened early, and King Chu and Princess Chu were welcomed in as soon as they arrived.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou snorted: "She is worried about her own face. I don't know these tricks yet."

She also welcomed people in at that time.

What a big deal.

Whether it's good or not depends on what happens behind closed doors.

Just as he was talking, the maid's voice sounded outside the door, "The prince is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jingyun raised the curtain and came in. Xu's mother hurriedly dropped the melon and wiped her hands before helping him: "Why are you here alone? No one is following you?"

Zhou Jingyun said with a smile: "It's better now, don't be so careful." After that, he looked at Mrs. Dongyang Hou, "What are you talking about, mother? Are you so happy?"

When Mrs. Dongyang Hou saw him, she lowered her face and said, "How can someone else's daughter-in-law meet her elders?"

Zhou Jingyun already knew that Mrs. Dongyang Hou sent people to Princess Jinyu's mansion to inquire about it, but in fact there was no need at all.

"Mom can just come and ask me directly." He said with a smile, "Unfortunately, the elders did not drink the wife's tea."

She drank it! So, there are not many mothers-in-law like her who can accept a daughter-in-law who is not satisfied with marrying her without telling anyone. Mrs. Dongyang Hou snorted again. Looking at the smile on Zhou Jingyun's face, she suddenly became even more angry: "Why are you laughing? "It's nice to see other people's wives being bullied."

Zhou Jingyun's smile grew wider, he wiped his hands with a brocade handkerchief, sat down, picked up the knife and continued to cut the melon.

"Don't worry, mother, she won't be bullied," he said.

Moreover, she can bully others so that they dare not drink her tea.

He looked at the cut melon, picked up a piece with a fork and reached out to hand it to Mrs. Dongyang Hou, but suddenly he remembered that Baili had fed him a piece of peach before.

He slowly put the melon into his mouth.

Summer melons are so sweet.

The corners of his mouth were curved, and Mrs. Dongyang Hou across from her became even more angry. She slapped her outstretched hand on the table. What on earth is this unfilial son doing here? Are you angry with her?

While others could only find out that Princess Jinyu did not drink Princess Chu's tea, Bai Ying in the palace knew more details.

"Everyone has arrived, and tea has been brought. The princess actually said she wanted to plant flowers and left just like that."

Bai Ying told the emperor and placed a painted tumbler in front of the young prince. Two chamberlains pushed the tumbler, causing the young prince to giggle.

The emperor, dressed by two palace maids, shook his head when he heard this: "Princess, she has such a bad temper."

Bai Ying stepped forward with a smile, tied the emperor's belt with her own hands, and said, "Actually, it's good for the princess to be like this. I originally thought she wouldn't let the couple in, or would get angry and beat them if they went in."

The emperor frowned: "Why is she beating and scolding you? That is the marriage given by me."

Bai Ying said: "It is precisely because Your Majesty granted you the marriage that the princess cannot lose her temper with Your Majesty. She can only vent her anger on these two juniors." She then blamed herself, "This is also my fault. If I had explained it to the princess in advance , just convince the princess to agree and then grant the marriage."

"It's none of your business. Jin Yu's temper is not what she wants." The emperor said, patting her hand.

"I feel sorry for the King of Chu. This child has no father or mother. Now he has angered Princess Jinyu, and his life in the capital is difficult." Bai Ying said, holding the emperor's sleeve, "Your Majesty, please Don’t let them go out for a while.”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, "Avoid it?"

"Yes, avoid it." Bai Ying said, her eyes sparkling, as if she thought of something, "For example, go to Qizhou where we were demoted? Of course, the King of Chu will not be demoted. Your Majesty will give him an errand to make him famous. Just do things.”

Speaking of which, there is a hint of reminiscence.

"I think now, it was actually very easy to live in Qizhou at that time. After leaving the capital, I no longer had to face those people in the palace. I didn't have to worry about going out, being picked on by others accidentally, and reporting to the emperor, Empress Jiang."

She took the Emperor's hand.

"It was a bit hard, but His Majesty left the capital and could sleep well at night. I was really happy at that time."

At that time, the emperor also had some recollections. He could not remember the sufferings in the past clearly. Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to be lucky to have escaped at that time.

"I think the King of Chu must also be willing. He has no desires and desires and only wants to share a family relationship with his wife and daughter."

Bai Ying's voice echoed in his ears, and the emperor nodded slowly. Yes, this is what King Chu said when he proposed for marriage. In this case, he sent them far away.

He also happened to be out of sight and out of mind.

He can be regarded as showing his kindness to the brothers in the past. Everyone in the world has seen it, and that's the end of it.

"Okay." The emperor nodded with a smile.

After the emperor's good words ended, Wang Degui came in from outside and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, King Chu and Princess Chu have arrived at the palace gate to ask for an audience."

The emperor straightened his robes and said, "Please come in."

Turning around, she saw Bai Ying leaning over to hug the prince, "Baolang, let's go somewhere else to play. Father is busy."

I don't know whether it was because the roly-poly suddenly lost sight of him or because he was suddenly picked up by Bai Ying. The little prince burst into tears and stretched out his hand to the emperor.

"You kid—" Bai Ying almost failed to hug him, but fortunately the emperor caught it quickly with his quick eyes and hands.

The little prince grabbed his clothes and wouldn't let go.

The emperor smiled and motioned for Bai Ying to let go: "Let him be here." Then he looked at Bai Ying and said, "You don't have to avoid it."

Bai Ying looked a little timid: "I am a concubine"

"Your identity is a noble concubine." The emperor said, "It is natural for the King of Chu and his wife to pay homage to you."

Bai Ying's expression suddenly dawned: "Yes, I have been named a noble concubine by Your Majesty." She said with shame, "I haven't adapted to this status yet."

In the past, she was suppressed by Yang Yuan in the Changyang Palace. She was said to be a concubine, but in fact she was like a maid. Not long after she entered the palace and got the title of concubine, she entered the cold palace and became a sinner. Now that she has given birth to a prince, she can only be a concubine. The humble and cautious emperor looked at Bai Ying, filled with guilt.

"A Ying, I'm sorry for you, I can't allow you to be the queen." He said, "But I will let you share the happiness and glory with me."

After saying that, he held the little prince in one hand and held Bai Ying's hand tightly in the other.

"Come and join me in accepting the obeisances of King Chu and his wife."

Bai Ying broke away from the emperor's hand again, and the emperor was stunned for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I have to change into a royal concubine's dress, so I can't lose my identity." She said with a smile.

The emperor laughed, picked up the little prince in his arms and shook him: "Hurry up, dear concubine, I and the prince are waiting for you."

The afternoon sun became even hotter. Li Yu looked at Bai Li's red face and whispered, "Go and wait in the car."

Although the marriage was granted by the emperor, entering the palace was not as simple as entering the princess's mansion.

The gate of this imperial city is not accessible at will, and after handing in the name card, no servant came to greet him.

"I guess someone is deliberately keeping us dry." Li Yu whispered, raising his sleeves to wipe the sweat from Bai Li's forehead.

Bai Li let him wipe his sweat and whispered: "I guess so. Princess Jinyu shows her malice outwardly, while some people hide their malice in their smiles."

What Li Yu was about to say, he saw from the corner of his eye that the chamberlains were finally coming.

"His Royal Highness, King Chu, has been summoned by His Majesty."

They said with a smile.

Li Yu thanked him respectfully, while Bai Li turned around and walked to the car. "What?" A chamberlain was puzzled, narrowing his eyes with some malicious speculation, "Is Princess Chu tired and unable to walk? Want to take a car?"

Bai Li turned around and smiled: "No, I'm just bringing the child down."

child? The waiters were stunned for a moment, and then they saw the car curtain open, and a woman handed out a baby girl dressed in red.

"The young lady has already eaten and slept."

The female doll is well-behaved and quiet, with bright eyes looking everywhere.

The servants realized that this was the daughter the King of Chu had mentioned. The couple actually brought their child to see His Majesty. Could it be that they were trying to get a title for the child?

This kid is nothing to be proud of.

Whatever, it's not them who are embarrassed anyway.

The chamberlains guided them inward without further words.

"Nanny, let's go to the imperial city to meet the emperor." Bai Li held the baby girl in his arms, pointed to the front and said with a smile.

The female doll seemed to be responding to her by umming and umming, looking curiously at this luxurious palace.

Bai Ying took the little prince from the emperor's arms and sat down next to him, looking a little nervous.

"Your Majesty, is my outfit okay?" she asked softly.

The emperor looked at Bai Ying who was dressed up. It was indeed the first time he saw Bai Ying dressed up like this. In the past, she was cautious and simple. But at this moment, she was shining brightly. He couldn't help but smile and said: "A Ying is as beautiful as a fairy."

Bai Ying looked at him angrily: "How old am I?" She looked outside the palace and faintly saw the servants leading the two of them. The young prince was tall and slender, "When I first met His Majesty, Your Majesty As old as King Chu, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Today, she is no longer a little girl standing on the street and being trampled by horse hooves.

All the emperors and grandsons of the Li family bowed their heads to her.

Bai Ying gently held the hairpin on her temples with a haughty smile on her lips.

Wang Degui's shout sounded in his ears, "King Chu, Princess Chu is here to see you." At the same time, King Chu walked in with a woman.

Bai Ying's eyes first fell on the child in the woman's arms.

She frowned slightly, with a bit of disdain in her eyes, and she was eager to bring the lowly things to the emperor immediately.

Then his eyes moved up and landed on the woman.

This woman was wearing a bright red dress and a peony bun. She was wearing two walking sticks and her beads were swaying. Her fair face and eyebrows were shining like stars.

She did not lower her head, and seemed to have been waiting quietly. When Bai Ying's eyes collided with hers, a slight smile appeared on her face.

"Second sister, we meet again."

Bai Ying's ears felt like rolling thunder exploding, her mind was shaking, and she didn't know what night it was for a moment.

She seemed to be sitting upstairs next door.

Yes, yes, the palace held a lantern festival, and she specially chose this place, waiting to see her sister who became the young wife of Dongyang Hou Shizi.

Then her sister came.

"Second sister, do you still recognize me?"

It’s been such a long time since we last saw each other. The little girl from back then has grown up.

She looked at the face of the person in front of her. In fact, she had never really looked at this sister's face. She didn't want to look at it from the moment she was born.

However, she still recognized it at first sight.

This is her sister, the scourge who killed her mother and made the family uneasy!

wrong.

No, this scourge is dead.

She watched with her own eyes as Zhou Jingyun threw her down the adjacent building, saw with her own eyes that her skin and flesh were broken and bleeding all over the floor, and she watched as Zhou Jingyun picked her up with her hands and feet hanging on the ground.

She was a little sad and a little relieved at the time. The sister who should not have been born finally died.

Yes, this sister is dead.

She is not in the neighboring building, Baili is dead!

Bai Ying's figure was swaying, her ears were buzzing, and she looked around. This was the Hanliang Palace.

She was in Hanliang Hall, accompanying His Majesty to receive the King of Chu and his newly married princess.

"minister-"

"My wife—"

Clear male and female voices rang in my ears.

Bai Ying's eyes focused on the woman again, watching her lower her head, kneel down, hold the child and bend down to salute.

"I have met Your Majesty, your concubine."

The emperor smiled and nodded: "Without courtesy, get up."

King Chu stood up, and the woman also stood up, then raised her head, looked at her, and smiled.

Her lips moved.

"Second sister."

Thunder rolled in Bai Ying's ears again. Was this a dream? Is this an illusion? She couldn't help but reach out to grab the Sanqing Bell around her waist.

The Sanqing bell didn’t ring!

Why doesn't the Sanqing bell ring?

She couldn't help but shake vigorously -

There was a roar in my ears, and the cry of a child was deafening.

"Hey, what's wrong?" The emperor looked over quickly.

The child in Bai Ying's arms fell to the ground for some reason, crying and struggling. The emperor hurriedly reached out to pick him up.

Bai Ying's arms were suddenly empty, and then she realized that the child had been thrown aside, and she was a little panicked: "Your Majesty, I..."

The emperor said: "Let me hold the child." He looked at Bai Ying again and asked with concern, "A Ying, are you okay? Why do you look like this?"

Bai Ying subconsciously reached out and touched her face. She couldn't see her face, but the tentacles were cold and stiff, and her skin seemed to be frozen.

It's summer.

Bai Ying's hands were shaking slightly, and she subconsciously looked into the palace. King Chu and the princess were standing quietly, both looking at her. The woman still had a slight smile on her face.

The laughter sent chills all over the body.

Bai Ying's hand did not go to pick up the child from the emperor's arms, but pinched her own palm fiercely.

It hurts, it hurts a lot.

This is not a dream, this is real, this is real.

She looked at Princess Chu.

Or rather, her sister.

White fence.

White fence!
