Who knew that even if she became the princess, the emperor would still indulge her, and the queen mother would like her more and more, and would often let her enter the palace to pay her respects.
After this incident, the concubines stabbed her many times and scolded her behind her back, but they couldn't stand her at all.
Both the upright officials in the court and the natal family of the concubines in the harem thought that the emperor valued her beauty, and they hated her but did not dare to actually kill her.
So her reputation as a vixen is really not an innocent rumor.
It's just that... the emperor and queen mother will not kill her, the concubines cannot kill her, and the officials dare not kill her, so today's forced palace is happening!
They thought she and the emperor were being ridiculous, but they were also afraid that relying on the emperor and the queen mother's respect for her to have an heir, the son would ascend to that position based on the mother's dignity, which would destabilize the court and cause accidents to the country and the country.
Over the past month, she had been reflecting on it day by day. She was valued by the emperor, but apart from her achievements back then, which were still ridiculous, she had no merit to speak of.
The description of Cheng Zhou Guofu Rui in that oral message made her feel even more guilty.
For the sake of love, she was willing to fall for love, and she got into trouble and brought disaster to this point... It would be better to just follow the whims of these people, so that there would be fewer troubles in the future, and the emperor's name would remain clear in history, and would not be misunderstood by future generations.
After all - a wise king is rare, and an emperor is even rarer to be wise.
When Liang Shangshu came to his senses, the battle situation had almost been decided, and Ni Yue was advancing in the direction of him and the second prince.
Liang Shangshu looked at the silent Liang Yuning with grief. He picked up the crossbow on the ground with determination as never before and aimed at the exposed back on the tree. When he heard the loud shouts in his ears, the arrow had already penetrated. Pang Yang’s heart and lungs!
He couldn't see that Pang Yang's body trembled slightly due to the force of the crossbow, but he still had that silly smile on his face.
He didn't even look down at the arrow that pierced him. He just wiped away the blood on Bai Guo's face and said with a silly smile on his face as the blood surged up: "Since Third Miss... doesn't like this place... then Pang Yang We must also follow...never let...don't let those lonely ghosts...bully the third little...miss..."
The sticky blood drops on the arrows at the corners of the upturned fox eyes that Ging Guo had never opened slid down from the corners of his eyes like tears of blood, leaving traces of soul-stirring traces.
Pang Yang wanted to wipe it off, but was unable to do anything.
I can only feel that my consciousness is getting further and further away...
"Gai Guo, the daughter of Bai Yutang, the chief administrator of Taiyuan Hospital!" The roll call made Bai Guo open his eyes in confusion, but he saw that he was standing in the center of the palace. Just when he was puzzled, memories came back one after another.
This was when she entered the palace for selection at the age of thirteen!
Before any more thoughts came out, the body instinctively took two steps forward to salute elegantly on the high platform, and said softly: "Bingguo, a citizen girl, has seen the emperor and the empress. Long live the emperor, and the empress has a thousand years of good luck."
"Snapped!"
The crisp crackling sound of porcelain falling to the ground made the still dazed Bai Guo realize that he was not recalling the past before his death, but that he was truly thirteen years old again!
She has lived a new life!
Ging Guo, whose experience was far beyond that of a thirteen-year-old girl, reacted quickly, calmed down, and knelt down before everyone else with a slightly flustered movement.
In the 22nd year of Shengshun, there had been no harassment or provocation from other countries on the borders of Chengzhou for a year, and there were no disasters or famines in the fifteen states in the country.
The people have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, and it can be said that there is prosperity and prosperity everywhere.
At this year, the crown prince was twenty-two years old, the second prince Prince Li was twenty-six years old, the sixth prince Prince Dingxi was twenty years old and had no side concubine, and the ninth prince was nineteen years old and had no main concubine. The matter was taken seriously by the court.
At the same time, the emperor is forty-four years old this year. The emperor, who has stopped the three-year election three times, intends to fill the harem with some people.
So this year’s selection is huge!
As for this kind of large-scale selection, all the picking girls have been trained by their aunt in advance, and they will never lose their royal etiquette under such circumstances.
Everything here will be magnified a hundred times, and if you want to survive, you can't make any mistakes.
Therefore, even if the person above lost her temper and broke the teacup, Cai Nu below could only endure the panic and knelt down in unison, waiting for the person above to speak.
But he didn't dare and couldn't look up to see what was going on, which made the man above him lose his temper.
This short period of time allowed Bai Guo to carefully recall the scene he was currently in, and slowly calmed down.
This year her father is the chief registrar of the Taiyuan Hospital, a mediocre fifth-grade official, not outstanding in Kyoto where everyone has an official position.
And she has not bloomed yet, and she is equally inconspicuous among the many graceful flowers and moonlight.
What kind of celestial figure, what amazing talent and beauty, what kind of family is in trouble and must be favored by the palace... These are all the reasons why other women are sent to the palace.
She entered the palace because of the situation and she had no choice!
The reason is because her face is very similar to that of the late empress dowager!
The late Empress Dowager was the only empress of the late emperor and the biological mother of the current emperor.
That's why the emperor lost his composure when she came forward to salute.
If it weren't for this face, the chance that someone as inconspicuous as her would be chosen to stay in the palace would be negligible.
After all, thirteen is too old to bloom.
Most parents just plan their children's future early.
Either they have started to prepare a dowry, or they have started to pay attention to the son-in-law of another family, or they want to stay with them for a few more years, or they may wait until they grow up before sending them to the palace.
But there is no way that a person who has no success will be sent to the harem so early and just get a roll call.
So there are very few people like her who can't wait to get in despite their age limit.
After all, if she hadn't needed to go to the palace to survive because of her face, or if her family had been sentenced to implicating the nine clans, she wouldn't have been able to come here!
…
The kneeling posture of placing his hands on top of his kowtowing head according to etiquette, the hardness of the blue bricks under his knees, and the pain from being hit hard when his head hit the ground all left Gingo with no intention to think more.
In this dizzying and suffocating atmosphere, I don't know how much time passed, but the majestic voice with obvious coldness finally said: "Bring her here!"
Bai Guo didn't even raise his head and knew that he was talking about himself.
Except for these words, the surroundings were deathly quiet, and there was no sound in the hall of hundreds of people.
Two little eunuchs came over one from the left and the other from the right. Gingo straightened up slowly, lowered his head, and stood up.
Footsteps sounded from the high position at the same time, and it sounded like they were leaving here.
Two young eunuchs led the way, and Bai Guo kept following with his head down and looking at the ground respectfully.
Never show that you have a mouth and can speak.
Above, Si Jiaojie, who was respectfully seeing off the emperor, looked at Bai Guo's leaving figure with complicated eyes.
What a good face!
On the day of selection, even if the emperor is not around, the queen must preside over it, so Si Jiaojie can only sit down again.
…
Gingguo kept his head down all the way, not looking around, not talking too much and talking to the people around him.
As fast as the two young eunuchs in front walked, she followed them.
Walking all the way down to the door of the imperial study room.
The two young eunuchs went behind the imperial father-in-law Su Qing in a polite manner, and Bai Guo stopped.
The threshold of the royal study is right in front of you, and the door is not closed.
Bai Guo looked at Su Qing, who was standing upright in front of a circle of hunched-over little eunuchs, and felt dazed for a moment.
Back then, she was named the imperial aunt by the emperor himself in this imperial study. At that time, Su Qing was already an old man who had been with the emperor for more than forty years.
But even people like this have to avoid their edge in front of her. It can be said that she was indeed too arrogant and arrogant back then with the emperor as her background.
Su Qing didn't know about Bai Guo's self-reflection at this time, and was still worried about the threshold in front of him.
Does this allow her to go in?
The emperor just said to bring people here, but...
This is the imperial study room!
All memorials and military reports were taken here by the emperor for processing!
Su Qingchou's old face was almost wrinkled, but she still maintained the aloof and arrogant attitude of the imperial father-in-law.
My mind turned three times, and finally my heart suddenly crossed. I thought of Ging Guo's face, and directly urged me with my eyes, "Go in"!
Seeing this obviously not so sure look, Bai Guo raised the corner of his mouth.
When she first arrived here, she was so timid that she hunched her shoulders at the door, afraid to take this step.
Because at that time she remembered that she could count on one hand the number of women who had gone in since ancient times, and most of them had been dragged out.
So at that time, she was outside crossing the threshold slowly and making noise, just waiting for the emperor's domineering words, "Get out of here!" Then she would roll away.
It’s just that the emperor didn’t know about her little thoughts back then. She later entered the palace and knelt in front of the emperor’s table for nearly an hour. The emperor didn’t say a word to her. She even knew that the emperor didn’t even have eyes at that time. Leave the memorial.
…
"Get out of here!" The emperor roared angrily after not seeing Ging Guo come in for a long time, and Ging Guo was shaken back to his senses.
Su Qing subconsciously shortened her body.
Bai Guo quickly crossed the threshold and walked dozens of steps with his head lowered before entering. He knelt down in front of a position quite far away from the emperor's royal table, kowtowed respectfully and then said: "Common people pay your respects to the emperor."
The superior didn't ask any questions immediately, so Bai Guo just knelt down obediently.
After a long silence, the majestic voice of inquiry came again: "Why haven't I heard of you?!"
Bai Guo calmed down and answered the sentence that overlapped with his memory, saying: "The daughter of the common people is in poor health. She has been living in Fengzhou with her grandmother and rarely comes back."
In fact, the emperor's words are worth pondering. There is no shortage of officials in Kyoto, so must every daughter of an official have heard of it?
Not to mention that he may not recognize all the descendants of each family from the first to the second generation, even the descendants of the royal family.
Therefore, the emperor's concern for his loving mother, the empress dowager, can be clearly felt from these details.
And her family was actually the first to notice and take precautions.
When Baiguo's grandfather was still alive, he was still the imperial doctor in the palace, his grandmother had a royal title, and his father followed him several times when he was a child, and naturally met the empress dowager, his loving mother who was still the empress.
So from the time she was one year old, her grandmother and her father became more and more frightened when they looked at her, and Gingguo seemed to be growing more and more similar without knowing the danger at all.
When Bai Guo was three years old, the rumors that she was in poor health turned into a terminal illness under the guidance of caring people. Her grandmother took her, the legitimate daughter, away from Kyoto and went to live in the home of her second uncle in Fengzhou.
Except for a few appearances at home during the New Year and holidays, he has never set foot outside Fengzhou.
It can be said that if such a deliberate hiding method is known to others, the Bai family can really pack up and leave Kyoto.
