It’s over, this bitch is crazy too!
Lin Bai was unable to complain.
The Seventh Princess behaves a bit like those ladies in her family, and the important events of her life are just left to her.
And he just left like that, how much he trusted me!
well!
It seems that if you don't want to eat this soft rice, you have to eat it.
All the ministers were very excited when they heard this, looking like they were waiting to be proud.
Gu Qiankuang was the same, with a sneer on his lips, as if he couldn't wait to be slapped in the face, and was about to speak.
At this time, Zhu Tianzheng was the first to speak, "Since this is the Seventh Princess's decision, then as she said, the competition will be scheduled for three days later. Does the Wu Dynasty envoy have any objections?"
Gu Qiankuang paused and replied: "Everything is up to His Majesty Li Chao."
"good!"
Zhu Tianzheng nodded, "I am looking forward to the performance of Wu Dynasty students in three days."
When everything was settled and he was about to retreat, the masked woman suddenly walked out.
"The daughter of the people has met His Majesty Li Chao."
A look of surprise flashed in Zhu Tianzheng's eyes.
Eunuch Cao on the side scolded: "Who are you? What kind of behavior is it to hide your head and show your tail in the court hall?"
The masked woman replied: "Chu Xiangyun, a commoner daughter, and Chu Jingtian, my father, are veiled. The reason why they are veiled is not to disrespect His Majesty Li Chao, but because they were burned by fire when they were young."
Zhu Tianzheng stopped Cao Qiuchang and nodded slightly, "Are you Chu Jingtian's daughter? I know your purpose. You will follow Eunuch Cao to pick up Concubine Yun from the palace in a moment!"
"Thank you, His Majesty Li Chao."
Chu Xiangyun said and then looked at Lin Bai and said, "A common woman is not familiar with the place. After leaving the palace, I have to ask the young minister of Honglu Temple to help lead the way. Is it okay?"
Lin Bai was startled.
This is treating yourself as an errand boy, MMP! But there is no way. Whoever becomes such a shabby official and serves the mission is really just an errand boy.
Immediately he could only say: "There is nothing I can't do."
Chu Xiangyun said: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Lin."
After retiring from the court, all the ministers retreated one after another, but Eunuch Cao stayed and led Chu Xiangyun to the harem, taking Lin Bai with him by the way.
Cold Palace!
In front of a deserted courtyard, Eunuch Cao said, "Miss Chu, the person is inside."
"Thank you!"
Chu Xiangyun thanked him and stepped inside. The fallen leaves on the ground rustled with the breeze, making it look a bit desolate.
When Chu Xiangyun walked into the house, he saw a white-haired old woman sitting there, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, muttering in her mouth, and worshiping the Buddha sincerely.
"Junior Chu Xiangyun, on the order of my aunt, I came here to take the princess home."
The old woman who was called the princess slowly opened her eyes, "Your surname is Chu? Your aunt?"
Chu Xiangyun replied: "Aunt Chu Jingmeng."
Upon hearing this name, a glimmer of light appeared in the old woman's old eyes, and the corners of her eyes were moist.
Outside the courtyard.
Lin Bai asked curiously: "Eunuch Cao, who lives here?"
Eunuch Cao paused, as if he was wondering whether to say anything, and then replied: "She is the late emperor's concubine, Concubine Yun, and the former Princess Pingyang."
Princess from the previous dynasty?
Lin Bai was startled for a moment. It was less than a hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Before that, the people who ruled this land were named Jing Dynasty.
However, the princess of the previous dynasty became the concubine of the late emperor? And he was also relegated to the cold palace, where...
Eunuch Cao obviously didn't want to say more, so he only said: "The Chu family is an old minister of the previous dynasty. After the collapse of the Jing dynasty, they fled to the Wu dynasty. Now they are quite powerful in the Wu dynasty. One of the conditions for this alliance with the Wu dynasty is Take Princess Pingyang back."
I see!
Lin Bai nodded subconsciously. It seemed that the Chu family was quite loyal.
It has been nearly a hundred years since the Jing Dynasty collapsed, and this so-called princess is probably too old to look good. If she is taken out at this time, she can only be regarded as an ancestor.
Making trouble?
It's impossible, Li Chao will not agree, and Wu Chao will not agree.
The Chu family would probably not be so stupid. What use could an old woman have? She would only have some feelings left. People in ancient times were truly loyal.
have to! Give you a thumbs up!
Eunuch Cao said at this time: "These are things in the past and are not worth mentioning. The number one scholar still needs to grasp the present."
After a pause, he continued: "Do you know why Your Majesty delayed the competition until three days later?"
Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know this.
Eunuch Cao said: "When this matter is over, the number one scholar might as well go to Jixia Academy. Then you will naturally understand that this is your Majesty's intention."
ha?
Is it so complicated? Aren't they just those arithmetic questions?
have to! After all, it is related to Xiaoqi's future. If Nizi believes in herself so much, then let's go for it!
At this time, Chu Xiangyun had already supported Princess Pingyang and walked out. Although the old man had gray hair, he was in good spirits. In addition, he was born into a noble family and worshiped Buddha all the year round, so he had a special temperament.
It makes people feel inexplicably close.
"This slave has met Imperial Concubine Yun."
Eunuch Cao saluted quickly.
Princess Pingyang glanced at him, with a faint smile on her face, "Xiao Qiuzi, I didn't expect that you are almost old."
Eunuch Cao bent down and smiled.
Princess Pingyang looked at Lin Bai again at this time, her eyes gradually became a little different, deep. Lin Bai was a little confused, but he heard her say: "It's good to be young and handsome."
Lin Bai was delighted. The old man was also a wonderful person, and he immediately joked: "It is said that people have dazzled eyes with old age, but Concubine Yun's eyes have become sharper."
Poof!
Chu Xiangyun on the side couldn't help laughing, showing a really shameless expression.
Princess Pingyang also laughed.
After leaving the palace, the old man seemed very happy. He looked at the outside world through the curtains and kept asking questions.
No wonder, looking at this situation, I have been trapped in the cold palace for who knows how long. I am naturally very excited to finally be able to see the outside world.
Maybe it was because Lin Bai spoke nicely and could make the old man happy. The old man was particularly close to him and even asked Chu Xiangyun a little surprised.
At this time, Princess Pingyang asked: "Where are we going?"
Chu Xiangyun quickly replied: "Princess, let's go back to the inn first, and then arrange a carriage to take the princess back to Wu Dynasty."
Pingyang shook his head and said: "Jing Chao is gone a long time ago. Don't call me princess anymore. If you think highly of me, an old woman, just call me grandma!"
Chu Xiangyun paused and nodded, "Grandma!"
Princess Pingyang nodded, then turned to look at Lin Bai.
What do you mean? Are you still waiting for me to shout?
Lin Bai was speechless.
have to! You were so old that you could only say: "Grandma!"
"good!"
Princess Pingyang was very satisfied, with a loving smile on her face. Then she opened the curtain and looked outside, saying, "As for returning to the Wu Dynasty, there is no need. I'm afraid my old lady's body can't afford it."
"Besides, I was born and raised here, so naturally I should die here."
Chu Xiangyun said hurriedly: "Mr. Grandma, how can this be done? My aunt is still waiting for you to go back and reunite with her."
Princess Pingyang shook her head, "Go back and tell your aunt, she will understand me."
"But……"
Chu Xiangyun wanted to say that the Chu family was all in the Wu Dynasty. Who would take care of you when you grow up here? There was not even a place to live. She subconsciously looked at Lin Bai.
Princess Pingyang seemed to know this and looked at Lin Bai as well.
