1776. Two brothers
"This is OK."
Bai Yuchan smiled and said, "We don't plan to do it in a big way, and it will not affect the normal operation of the imperial palace and the yamen."
Xu Qingyi pulled his hand, "I'm talking about the emperor... Although you have a very good relationship with the emperor, this kind of thing is still beyond it, right?"
"It's okay. The emperor won't care about these things." Bai Yuchan said confidently.
It took more than ten years since we met in the Wuliang Temple in Leizhou. Zhao Dongting knew him, and he also knew Zhao Dongting.
The emperor has never been so confined to old customs.
However, Xu Qingyi was born among the people and couldn't help but feel unsure, and said, "You'd better go and ask the emperor first..."
"good."
Bai Yuchan felt that this was nothing, so he nodded and agreed. Then he pulled Xu Qingyi, who was a little shy, towards the imperial study.
He still had some privileges in the palace and could go to see Zhao Dongting at any time. There were not many people in the entire court with such privileges.
If we talk about the official rank alone, among the officials who are equal to the "Shaoqing of the Observatory" of Bai Yuchan, it seems that he only has such privileges.
Holding the token until outside the imperial study room, Bai Yuchan asked the two eunuchs guarding the door: "Two father-in-laws, can the emperor be in the imperial study room?"
Both eunuchs are not young.
It should be said that eunuchs in the palace are generally older, and few are under the age of twenty. After the new policy, Zhao Dongting abolished the system of entering the palace by purging himself.
Only those eunuchs who have no place to go stay in the palace and continue to be used until now.
"Bai Shaoqing."
Both eunuchs smiled at Bai Yuchan, and then the eunuch on the left nodded and whispered: "I'm here."
Bai Yuchan then said, "I'm sorry, please ask my father-in-law to tell you that Bai Yuchan brought Xu Qingyi to ask for a meeting."
The eunuch on the left said, "I will inform you now."
Bai Yuchan nodded, "It's a good father-in-law."
The eunuch gently opened the door and walked inside.
Zhao Dongting’s imperial study does not refer to a single room, but is actually very large, it is the entire palace.
The eunuch did not walk into the inner room where Zhao Dongting worked, but only stopped in the lobby outside, and waved to Zhang Polu inside.
Usually, people ask for a visit, but basically do this. The whole process can be said to be quiet, which is entirely because they are afraid of disturbing Zhao Dongting's handling of state affairs.
Zhang Polu quickly walked out and learned from the eunuch that Bai Yuchan was asking for a visit. He walked to Zhao Dongting and whispered to Zhao Dongting about this.
This is also one of the factors that makes the little yellow sect popular in the palace.
If Bai Yuchan hadn't come to ask for a meeting, and if it were someone who Zhang Polu didn't like or was afraid of offending, as a little yellow sect, he could have left the audience outside.
Even if that guy finally complained to Zhao Dongting, it would be useless.
Because Zhang Polu could explain that he did not dare to disturb the emperor when he saw the emperor being focused.
As long as Zhao Dongting doesn't blame Zhang Polu, no one can say anything about Zhang Polu. Do you think your business is bigger than the state affairs the emperor is dealing with?
Of course, such a thing has not happened yet.
When Zhao Dongting heard that Bai Yuchan and Xu Qingyi came together to meet each other, he raised his head, couldn't help but smile, and muttered: "Is it necessary to act so quickly?"
Then he said to Zhang Polu: "Please!"
Zhang Polu walked outside and asked the eunuch to come in.
"Okay. Stop pretending."
Bai Yuchan and Xu Qingyi soon appeared in the imperial study room and came to Zhao Dongting. They were about to salute Zhao Dongting but were stopped by Zhao Dongting.
He waved his hand at Bai Yuchan, and said to Xu Qingyi with a gentle attitude in Xu Qingyi's surprised eyes: "You don't need to be polite."
Bai Yuchan smiled awkwardly.
Xu Qingyi was a little stunned. Zhao Dongting's intimate attitude towards Bai Yuchan made her understand that the relationship between the emperor and Yuchan was definitely better than she thought.
Zhao Dongting had sharp eyes. He saw Bai Yuchan holding Xu Qingyi's hand, and looked at Bai Yuchan with a teasing look, and asked with a smile: "Is it because I came to see me suddenly, may I come to invite me to have a wedding?"
Now even Eunuch Liu and Zhang Polu pricked their ears because they were quite familiar with Bai Yuchan.
Xu Qingyi's pretty face turned slightly red.
Bai Yuchan said a little embarrassedly: "Qingyi and I plan to get married in two months. We want to hold a wedding in the palace. Please allow the emperor to accept it."
Zhao Dongting frowned when he heard this, and then laughed: "You are here to ask me for my kindness? Why? Are you still worried that I won't let you get married in the palace?"
He just glanced at Xu Qingyi again, and understood everything, and changed his words: "It's right. I'll let Zongzheng Temple handle your marriage."
"ah?"
Xu Qingyi couldn't help but cry.
It was quite surprising that Zhao Dongting was able to allow them to get married in the palace. Unexpectedly, she would even ask Zongzheng Temple to do it.
Zongzheng Temple is a specialist in serving the royal family. The royal family has never treated Bai Yuchan as an outsider!
Bai Yuchan himself was not surprised.
Two brothers, in my heart.
In the entire Song Dynasty, it was probably only two men who could accept Zhao Dongting’s “imperial grace” so calmly.
They are the only two people who can make Zhao Dongting forget that he is the emperor while getting along.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Dongting said: "Your master is in Leizhou again. Calculate the time, and you should be able to come here to attend your wedding. Seeing that you are like this, you must have already met Master Xu Gu, but I guess you didn't get any gifts, right?"
Bai Yuchan scratched his head.
He used to live a life of meditation, and he was almost eating grains from the world. He was really not so clear about the things he came to propose marriage and gifts.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Dongting continued, "Then I will just be a matchmaker for you and give you a marriage. You are my brother, Miss Xu is the beloved daughter of Master Xu Gu. We are the courtesans on the list of beauties in the Song Dynasty. We can't get married without hasty. The etiquette and pomp that should be arranged properly. It will be spread out so that everyone in the martial artsans will know who married the courtesans they are thinking about, haha!"
As he said that, he burst into laughter.
Xu Qingyi blushed again.
She has been praised a lot, but she has never been praised by the emperor.
My heart is also full of joy.
If there is a wedding with a convention, probably no woman will choose to refuse. After all, this is a very meaningful thing in life.
Bai Yuchan said nothing.
Zhao Dongting did not intend to give him a chance to refuse, so he turned his head to Zhang Polu and said, "Polu, bring me the list of the national treasure house."
In recent years, the battles and regained lost lands, there were many treasures in the palace, all of which were placed in the national treasure house, just like a library that collected martial arts secrets.
