131 Scraping
Bai Fuling secretly scolded Xia Guoxun, who was suing the black lawsuit, but his expression was very innocent: "When the queen said, this was what a little woman accidentally heard from a Taoist priest You Fang on the road. She thought it made a lot of sense, so she remembered it in her heart. The little girl was just a little uninformed, so how could she think of such words?"
Fortunately, she was prepared for similar words and answered very smoothly without blinking her eyes.
In fact, Xia Guoxun did not complain to the queen. That day, he returned home from Fanxialing and wrote what Bai Fuling said on paper, framed it with his own hands and hung it on the desk. Every day, he locked him in the study and studied hard. He worked harder than when he took the imperial examination before, and even saved the social activities of the chief and colleagues.
The Xia family found it strange when they saw it. Xia Ge and his wife personally called his Shutong to the front of them to ask clearly what stimulation the grandson they valued the most was so home. The Xiao Shutong stumbled and said the incident on Fanxia Ridge that day, and this matter was also introduced into the queen's ears through Xia Ge's wife.
Xiao Shutong had been warned by Xia Guoxun that he did not tell the "evil shape" of Bai Fuling. He only said that Xia Guoxun happened to meet Bai Fuling in Fanxialing and mentioned Xia Xinxin's incident. Bai Fuling replied this, which made Xia Guoxun very touched, so it was like this.
The Xia family is a good family inheritance of poetry and rituals, but Xia Ge Lao and others' expectations for Xia Guoxun were not to want him to become a famous literary scholar or a great scholar of the generation. They hope that he can manage more in his career and take over Xia Ge Lao's rank as soon as possible, and assist the second prince in governing the country in the future and continue the glory of the Xia family.
Xia Guoxun has always done a good job and enjoyed a high reputation among the younger generation of Hanlin and civil servants of the court. The court praised him for his good knowledge and good character, and his smooth and decent work, which has really won over many young talents for the Xia family. Unexpectedly, Bai Fuling's words actually stimulated him to a "wrong way". The result of self-reflection was that he decided to do research steadily and abandon his power and fictional reputation.
The Xia family was angry, hated and helpless, but because of Xia Xinxin's affairs, they couldn't bear to deal with Bai Fuling openly. As the representative of the interests of the Xia family, the queen was indeed determined to make things difficult for Bai Fuling.
Bai Fuling is famous for her talent, but because of the few poems at Xia Xinxin’s poetry meeting, no other masterpiece has been circulated since then. After writing a few poems, she became a talented woman. How could it be so cheap?!
The queen originally planned to study her knowledge, and she could answer it even if she had good luck. If she answered something wrong, would she still have the attitude to continue to be this "No. 1 talented woman in the capital"?!
But she didn't expect that Bai Fuling would be so clean and thoroughly - she didn't read books, but poems were written by the subordinates, and even a sentence was heard by chance. She was very low in her posture, and she seemed to care about the damage to the reputation of a talented woman.
People are all rebellious, especially those who are self-reliant and like to complicate simple things. For example, the more the queen, the more she denied Bai Fuling, the more she felt that she was already very cunning at a young age. She figured out her intentions, so she was determined to avoid it in order to escape unstoppable.
If you ask any further, you won’t ask anything. The queen remembered the words sent by the second prince to spread, slowly put away the coldness on her face, and put on a kind smile and said, “The little girl knows she is restrained and humble at a young age, very good! Very good!”
She also saw the similar faces of the Bai family mother and daughter, and she couldn't help but feel resentment. New and old hatreds surged into her heart, and she couldn't help but sarcastic. Even the two questions were blocked by Ruan Ruan, and she immediately calmed down.
When her son's affairs are done, she is not the final decision in the harem? Even if this little girl becomes the queen, she can only be at her mercy. The little girl is indeed surprisingly beautiful, but she understands that she wants to be fresh. As long as her son can win the throne, the first thing their Xia family has to deal with is the Bai family!
The queen thought that the Bai family was still very useful now, and the smile on her face became a little gentler.
Just now, I was looking for bad luck, but why did I suddenly change my face? Bai Fuling lowered her head and looked shy, and responded to changes in the same way as she remained unchanged.
"The princess is here!" The eunuch's voice came from outside the hall. As soon as the words fell, a girl dressed in dress came in outside the hall. She didn't care about the other people in the hall, and laughed and called "Mother" and threw herself into the queen's arms.
If you can be so close to the queen, you don’t need to ask if you are the twelve princesses from the queen. Bai Fuling had only heard of her bad deeds before coming, and it was really hard to have any good feelings for her. After taking a sneak peek, she found that she looked like the queen and looked quite ordinary, and she felt even more boring.
The queen has a little temperament and can barely be called a temperamental beauty. This princess has no other characteristics except youth, so she can only say that she is not ugly.
When the queen saw the twelve princesses, the smile on her face finally spread into her eyes and said with a smile: "There is no rules, go and salute your aunt."
The twelve princess seemed to have discovered Princess Antai, and barely stood up and bowed to greet him. Without waiting for Princess Antai to speak, she stood up and leaned into the queen's arms again, and said, "I heard that the guests came to my mother, who are they?"
While saying that, Bai Fuling and Mu Peilan, who were standing below and greeting her, looked at Bai Fuling with malicious intentions and said to Bai Fuling: "You made my cousin so angry that she vomited blood? You are so brave!" The cousin she said was Xia Xinxin.
Princess Antai cannot face the queen in person, but she is not so polite to a junior like the Twelve Princess. When she heard her words, she was obviously targeting Bai Fuling, and immediately put down the teacup in her hand with a "bang" and it was about to have an attack.
"It's just a misunderstanding. Don't scare the queen's distinguished guests in the queen." A man wearing a gazelle brocade robe walked in with a smile. It was the second prince.
The queen took the opportunity to pinch the twelve princess's hand and signaled her not to say much. She looked up and said to the second prince who saluted her, "You came for a coincidence."
The second prince was much more "sensible" than the twelfth princess. Without waiting for the queen's instructions, he took the initiative to salute Princess Antai, with a very respectful attitude. Then it was Mu Peilan's turn to salute him. He was humble and spared. His eyes stopped on Bai Fuling for a while, and said, "Mrs. Bai, Miss Bai does not need to be polite. Miss Bai is very talented, but unfortunately, as a daughter, otherwise my court would have another pillar of talent."
Bai Fuling lowered her head and said a few words, and took two steps back and hid behind Mu Peilan. The look of the second prince looking at her really made her feel unhappy. If it were in Beiguan City, she would have been instructed by Bai Shisan and others to beat him into a pig's head. But now not only can't beat him, but also have to be silenced with him.
The second prince could not see the disgust in her lowered eyes, so he thought she was shy, and the smile on his face became a little deeper. He turned his head and said to the queen: "My mother often thinks that my palace and the emperor are interested in poetry and prose, and cannot accompany her mother to discuss poetry and prose. Today, Miss Bai is rarely coming to the palace, and she can be with her mother."
The queen understood what he meant and cooperated with him: "I don't know that Princess Antai would be willing to lend Miss Bai to Ai's family for several days so that Ai's family can have a companion to speak."
Princess Antai didn't know which song was performed by the three mothers and sons, but Bai Fuling could never be left with the queen. Not to mention her friendship with Mu Peilan, but even her brother would definitely not be happy to see Bai Fuling stay in Ningyi Palace. She didn't know what the emperor sent Lu Ying to do, but it must be related to several princes. If Bai Fuling fell into the hands of the queen and the second prince, what would Lu Ying react if the news spread?
If it were someone else, she would probably be mixed up with the queen and politely declined the "kindness" of the queen. But Princess Antai is not someone else. It is not without reason that she can have the same scent with Mu Peilan and his daughter. Her reply was quick and direct:
"I don't want to let it go!"
The queen and the second prince both froze on their faces. I have seen you who are polite, but I have never seen you who are so polite!
Bai Fuling endured the laughter and suffered a lot, and immediately decided to make Princess Antai an idol.
The atmosphere of the scene dropped to freezing point. The Twelve Princess couldn't help it and jumped up and said, "It's the Queen Mother who has the final say in the palace, or do you have the final say in aunt? It's her blessing that the Queen Mother thinks of Miss Bai!"
It is indeed a typical impulse with a simple mind.
The queen and the second prince did not stop her from getting angry this time because they suddenly felt that to deal with such a ruthless person as Princess Antai, they would have to rely on the twelve princess's nonsense.
Unfortunately, although both are princesses, their level is not at the same level at all.
Princess Antai glanced at the Twelve Princess and snorted coldly: "The elders speak, it's your turn to be a junior? As a princess, how do you learn the rules?"
The twelve princess said suffocating, her cheeks flushed with anger, and she shouted: "You...you bully your mother!"
Princess Antai looked at her with pity and disdain, and said, "Your mother in the palace has the final say. How can I bully her?" I really don't know how the queen taught her daughter, but she taught such a fool, who only knows how to act arrogantly.
The queen and the second prince also felt blank. The queen pulled the twelve princess over and signaled her not to continue talking. The second prince smoothed out and said, "Auntie is joking with her mother, don't worry, the prince sister, hahaha!"
Princess Antai did not intend to cooperate, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Seeing that the second prince couldn't smile, she said: "They were the emperor's brothers who were polite to accompany me in the palace, so it was better to live in Yilan Palace. The second prince paid attention to filial piety and went to Ningyi Palace every few days to pay attention to it. The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were used to it, so they saved the communication. There was a difference between men and women. It was inconvenient for Ling'er to live here. If there were any gossips, where would Ling'er be in? If she was rumored because of this, I would not be able to explain to the Duke Zhongguo's mansion to the General of Zhenbei."
After a few words, the queen and the second prince vaguely revealed the thoughts in their hearts. The expressions on their faces remained unchanged and they were very annoyed. They did have this plan to detain Bai Fuling. She was a weak woman in Ningyi Palace. The second prince took the opportunity to do anything to her and could not save others. As long as the raw rice is cooked, even if Bai Changshan, Lu Ying, and Zhongguo Duke Lin Pingzi were unwilling to do so? For the sake of this little woman's lifelong affairs, they could only cooperate with him. (To be continued)
