Chapter 539
Bai Jinghong was gone in the water prison. Bai Heran should have known about this long ago, but she has not seen any moves so far, and the water prison is still guarding this secret. What are their plans? Bai Jinghong ran away like this, don’t you look for it?
Although Concubine Kang didn't like Bai Heran, she didn't like Bai Jinghong either. Although she has always stood firmly on her brother's side and absolutely agreed with and cooperated with all her brother's decisions. However, if Xiao Ye could give birth to a legitimate son for the Bai family, she would still be willing to let Xiao Ye sit firmly as the mistress of the Bai family.
After all, she is also the daughter of the Bai family, and she also hopes that the Bai family's family business will be inherited by her own blood, rather than giving the price to the other brother and sister Bai Haochen and Bai Jinghong.
Furthermore, she would rather sit in her grandmother's position. At least Xiao Ye is just a concubine daughter of the Ye family. When facing her Concubine Kang, she knew how to bow down and understand the ranks and inferiority. But the Da Ye family was not so easy to meet. Every time the two met, the master in the palace seemed to have to look at each other's expression. Her arrogant look always made her angry for half a day.
But then again, since the Daye family lost power, the Bai family also declined. Her brother was stopped, Bai Jinghong was thrown into the water prison, and Bai Haochen also walked in the prison for a while. It would be difficult to turn over again. What should I do? Is it because she is just watching the decline of her mother's family, and she can't do anything?
Bai Mingzhu felt very conflicted, but she also understood that she really couldn't do anything. Now Bai Zhenzhen is also engaged, and there is another daughter in the Duke's mansion that no one can take care of, and the situation is becoming increasingly difficult to understand.
Seeing that Bai Mingzhu was thinking, Bai Xingyan could guess what she was thinking, but now it was not a good time to speak, so he could only change the topic. Fortunately, this new topic was right next to his mouth. He looked at his sister and asked in his heart: "I see that your face seems to be much younger than before, not only has fewer wrinkles, but also his skin is rosier. When I met the Queen in Zhaoren Palace just now, I almost died of scare. Is that Queen really the Queen of the past? Why... Why does it seem like I have returned to ten years at once... No, it's twenty years, it seems like I have returned to twenty years ago. What's going on?"
When Bai Mingzhu heard her brother say this, she subconsciously stroked her face, and her face finally calmed down a lot.
She looked at Bai Heran and smiled and said, "Speaking of this, these are all the credits of A Ran. It was her contribution to the best rouge and water powder that made us concubines in the harem have the ability to keep their faces. As for the Empress... the Empress is the central palace, so naturally she deserves the best."
Bai Xingyan was a little fluttering today because he felt that he was standing on the same front as his daughter. From now on, he would listen to his daughter in everything. So the daughter should give him a little face to his father in other aspects.
Just like now, he shook his head while listening to Kangpin's words, "The queen is the central palace, and he deserves the best. That's right. But you are also her aunt, and your aunt naturally has to be different from others. A Ran!" He looked back at Bai He Ran, "Tomorrow, I will give you a copy of the things you presented to the queen to your aunt, this is your dear aunt."
Bai Heran looked at Bai Xingyan like a fool. At this moment, she wanted to travel through time again and go back to the era when Bai Xingyan was most successful, and see how the Bai family squeezed into the court again with such a brain, and how the person with such brain became the backbone of the court step by step.
Perhaps it was because the Ye family had been rubbed over the years and his brain was broken? Or perhaps it was because his brain was not as good as before? She turned her head and thought about this father, but she didn't even bother to reply to this sentence for a while.
Bai Xingyan thought that she had agreed to the point of not speaking. He was very happy and said to Concubine Kang happily: "The things will be delivered in tomorrow. Although the emperor has no intention of the harem now, he looks better and he can feel comfortable."
Bai Mingzhu is looking forward to it, after all, women care very much about their face. The queen's face is too tempting for them. If she can return to youth, she will be happy to let her lose all her wealth.
But she was a little more rational than Bai Xingyan. Just looking at Bai Heran's attitude, she knew that this was impossible. Thinking about that day in Zhaoren Palace, Bai Heran criticized Lipin in front of so many people, and her heart was even more heartbroken.
"No, this is good for me." She advised her brother, "What's the use of being young? The emperor doesn't have us in his heart. He used to have only the imperial concubine in his eyes, but now he only has the queen in his eyes. We are just a foil."
"Hey! What did you say? You are her aunt, and she should put you first."
Bai Heran couldn't listen anymore, "Father, it's time to leave the palace." After saying that, he saluted Concubine Kang, "It's getting late, and my father is a foreign minister. It's not good to stay in the harem. I hope Concubine Kang will forgive me."
"Aran, you..."
"What am I?" she frowned, "I want to be like the Queen. Are you trying to kill my aunt? Is it because the Bai family is not having a good time, and I also want to harm the relatives in the palace? Is this called having trouble with each other?"
Bai Xingyan was stunned, and then looked at the disgust that penetrated into Bai Heran's eyes, and then realized that he was annoying.
But this made him lose face. He was hurt by his daughter in front of his sister. Where did he put his face?
He said he would listen to her everything in the future, but as a daughter, he didn't even give her any face. Could it be that this situation will be the case in the future? He would be subject to her wherever he went? So, should he ask for instructions on how many dishes should be there for dinner?
Bai Xingyan felt uncomfortable. Even the Ye family had never been so unfair. Even the Da Ye family in the past regarded him as the most respected person. Bai Heran did not give him any face in front of others. He just listened to her. What can he get in the future? If the Ye family would not tolerate him in the end, would Bai Heran definitely be able to tolerate him?
He killed her brother, would this daughter be just a use of him now, and after using it, she would get rid of it? She would avenge her brother without any mercy?
The more Bai Xingyan thought about it, the colder he felt. Gradually, the look of his daughter was not right.
Bai Mingzhu saw some signs, but she didn't know the whole story after all, and she just saw that the communication between her brother and this niece was abnormal. She felt suspicious, but she didn't ask much.
My brother was embarrassed, so she had to find a way for her brother, so she said, "I have something to do when I go back. It's getting late. Brother, hurry up and leave the palace! When I go home, I ask my mother for my mother, and I say that I miss her very much."
Bai Xingyan didn't hear what Kangpin said clearly, so he nodded vaguely and watched Kangpin's sedan chair drive away.
"Let's go and leave the palace." Bai Heran said this lightly, then walked in front of him and ignored the people behind him.
Bai Xingyan followed behind, his mind wandering around. The more he wandered, the more he felt that he was really anxious just now.
His anxiousness was not about asking Bai Mingzhu for rouge and water powder. His so-called anxiousness was that he actually became hot and expressed so quickly that he wanted to move closer to Bai Heran and betray the alliance for so many years.
Of course, what Bai Heran said makes sense. The incident back then is likely to be a situation made by the other party.
But even in the game, what other disadvantages are there for him besides letting him kill a legitimate son? Bai Xingyan has been in the past ten years and is still full of energy. A wife like Daye has earned him a lot of face, so that he will be looked up to by others wherever he goes, and even has a place in General Guo’s mansion.
And the reason why all this changed later was not the Ye family’s fault, but because Bai Heran came back!
All nightmares start with Bai Heran’s return. What does it have to do with others? The Ye family doesn’t feel sorry for him!
The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong, and he couldn't help but start to overturn the things he had discussed with Bai Heran bit by bit.
This is how people are. They are afraid of opening any opening. Once the opening is opened, it will be out of control like a flood discharge.
Bai Xingyan had strong doubts and resistance to the Ye family under Bai Heran's analysis. However, just because he was slapped in the face in front of Bai Mingzhu, he began to abandon all previous conjectures and decisions, and began to annoyed that he had agreed to Bai Heran too quickly.
Bai Heran saw all his little thoughts, and he was becoming increasingly unconfident in this father.
On the contrary, the mind is so weak, which is something that only a three-year-old child can get. A person in his forties has the same IQ as a three-year-old child? Then the question is back. How did this IQ return to the court? Could it be that the overall IQ of officials in the Eastern Qin Dynasty was not very good?
When she thought of the familiar princes, she felt that it was not the case. At least the fourth, ninth, and tenth princes were quite smart. Leng Ruonan's father should have a low IQ, otherwise the matter would not have been handled so well at the palace banquet that day. He pushed the Wu family and then picked up his daughter completely.
She was getting more and more unable to see through. Bai Heran got on her carriage, ignored Bai Xingyan who was greeting her outside, and only sighed deeply, then leaned in the carriage to rest.
Bai Zhenzhen was sitting in the car waiting for her. When she saw her coming back, she was not in good condition. She thought in her heart that her father must have not faced her daughter when she confronted Concubine Li Xian, which made her sister sad.
She felt angry and lifted the curtain of the car and shouted at Bai Xingyan who was heading to the other end of her carriage: "Did you bully my sister? Did you join the concubine and turn your elbow out? Father, the fifth prince wants your daughter's life. If you are not firm at this time, you will be laughed at."
Bai Xingyan's face was not good, but on this topic, he still had a good answer - "On the contrary, he advocated that life be paid for his life and blood debts be paid for. For this reason, he had a big fight with Concubine Xian. If you don't believe me, ask your sister!"
