But no one could have imagined that the selection process that had been suspended for nine years would start again, and that famous women between the ages of thirteen and nineteen would all enter the palace.
Only then did her grandmother have to take her back.
Because if she is still hiding at this time and is used by someone with intentions in the future, it will be a major crime to deceive the emperor and kill the nine tribes!
Her grandmother had said before entering the palace that if she didn't die today, she would never die as long as the emperor was still alive with this face.
However, if the emperor does not allow others to bear the same face as the loving mother empress dowager, then Bai Guo will be dragged down and executed for the crime of offense.
In her last life, she asked her grandmother, "Isn't it okay to destroy one's appearance?"
Her grandmother stroked her hair distressedly and said: There is no airtight wall in this world.
After all, if the face is hers, it is hers; if it is not hers, it is not hers.
If it was not hers but was destroyed by her, then she would still be a great sinner of the Nine Clans, and she would be punished by her enemies even if she went to the underworld.
So even if she knew she would die if she came, she had no choice but to come. Even if it was a capital crime, it would be her own death penalty.
It doesn’t involve the family, it doesn’t involve the family, this is the best result.
…
"Do I want you to guard the mausoleum of my queen mother, or is it better to bury her with her?" The cold words were emotionless, and he was completely like a superior emperor who controlled the life and death of the world.
The knees down to the calves had lost all feeling due to kneeling for too long, but Ging Guo was a little unable to recover.
——Do I want you to guard the mausoleum of my queen mother, or is it better to bury her with her?
This was also guessed by her grandmother before she entered the palace in her previous life. Her grandmother taught her that the emperor is the master of the world, and all the affairs of civilian women must be subject to the emperor's decision.
Because the cause of death of the loving mother Queen Mother was not very honorable, she was forced to die by the late emperor in order to protect the throne of her only child.
The late emperor had the same yellow-robed appearance back then, and stood in front of the kneeling mother-in-law with the same indifference, watching the mother-in-law empress drink the cup of thousand-crowned crane, and the eunuch screamed out that Sentence - "The queen has died".
And the emperor, who cares so much about his loving mother, the Empress Dowager, would be more or less hesitant after hearing these words.
And her survival was possible only after the emperor hesitated.
She walked out alive in her last life, which also confirmed the effect of this sentence.
But now...
In Bai Guo's mind, he thought about how he was jealous of his concubines in the palace in his previous life, how he was forced to leave the palace and go to the front line, how many rumors he had after becoming the princess, how he died...
After hearing no reply for a long time, Xuan Xian frowned and shouted coldly, "Reply!"
Countless scenes before his death flashed by, and Bai Guo smiled at the corners of his upturned eyes. He leaned down again and kowtowed solemnly, and then said: "It is an honor for a citizen daughter to be buried with the empress dowager, her loving mother! A civilian daughter thanks the emperor for his grace. !”
Her parents and family had been planning for her for thirteen years to keep her, and they had also been frightened for thirteen years.
In the past thirteen years, they have dared to deceive the emperor, but they have concealed the truth from her brothers and sisters.
Even... in order to keep her, even though they missed her heartbreakingly, her parents did not dare to mention her name in front of others, let alone take a look at her in Fengzhou.
Even though he had a child like her, he had to pretend that she was dead so that no one would notice her.
Eight words that she has known since she was sensible in her previous life - life is impermanent and life and death are uncertain.
I fully understood this when I came out of here alive and became more and more prosperous.
In the last life, she would be happy and shed tears, but now, why would she take the same path again when she already knew the outcome?
Xuanxian looked at the girl below who had not yet been hired, and her face looked really similar...
Xuan Xian closed his eyes irritably, but his mind couldn't calm down.
"Xian'er, stay alive...this country needs you! Staying alive is the most important thing!"
There was no scarlet blood, no cursing, no persecution, and no heavy rain for his mother's funeral.
Calm, just like the face he saw his father at that moment.
He ascended the throne at the age of twenty-one and has reigned for twenty-three years now.
The thirty-third year since he was without his mother...
"If you wanted to die, why didn't you just hang yourself outside? Why did you enter the palace to see me?!" Xuan Xian had a solemn face.
Bai Guo did not raise his head, but continued to kneel down and replied respectfully: "A common woman is stupid and failed to come up with such a good idea. She is in the eyes of the emperor. A common daughter deserves to die!"
Xuanxian looked at the slender back on the ground and said nothing.
How could he not know that with such a face, one cannot decide life or death by oneself.
It's just that he didn't expect that this woman always wanted to die and never left a way for herself to survive.
"Raise your head." Xuanxian wanted to know what kind of person could want to die at such an age.
Gingguo paused slightly, straightened his back slowly, and raised his head hesitantly, but kept his eyes lowered and did not look directly at the holy face.
The more similar her face is, the greater the chance of living, and the greater the chance of staying in the palace and following the same path in her previous life.
"Why do you want to die?"
Bai Guo was slightly stunned by this question.
Eyelids trembled, Bai Guo wanted to raise her head to see the emperor's face at this moment, and to see if the emperor's eyes were as loving to her as they were in the previous life...
"There is no sadness between your brows, your fingers are tender and have no scars, your expression is calm and unhurried, your gestures are elegant and generous, and your whole body has an extraordinary demeanor. It can be seen that you have been well taught and pampered since you were a child..."
Every time the above words were spoken, Gingguo's heart trembled.
She had always thought that the reason she was able to walk out of this life alive in her previous life was because the emperor thought she was unloved by her father and mother, and thought she was somewhat similar to him when he was a child.
But now with these words, it is clearly saying that the emperor knew what the Bai family had planned!
Then why...even though the emperor in the previous life knew that they were plotting, he still let her live?
"Since you were raised well by your family, why do you want to die?"
It was a gentle question, which made Gingguo's nose feel slightly sour. He couldn't help but raised his eyelids and looked up.
Just like the sword-shaped eyebrows and phoenix-like eyes in his memory, he is majestic and graceful, and his eyes are bright and clear, yet not lacking in majesty and kindness.
Such an emperor has been admired for as long as her father has been in office.
She stayed with the emperor for several years and admired him until her death.
It is rare for a wise king to express the difficulty of being a minister in one sentence, and it even more expresses the difficulty of this position.
But this is not easy, and the emperor sitting in this position has never felt it.
It seems that he was born to sit in this position! Born to be the best emperor!
As he watched and thought about it, Ging Guo's eyes were sore and his eyes were filled with tears. He managed to say in a normal tone: "My daughter is unknown. I can't bear to bring trouble to my family and the emperor, so I beg to die..."
"So you want to die?"
I don't know if it was Ging Guo's illusion, but I always felt that the emperor's tone was a bit weird when he repeated this sentence.
There were tears in Bai Guo's eyes, her vision was blurry, and she couldn't see the emperor's expression at all.
"Do you know the meaning of your name?"
Although Gingguo didn't understand why the emperor suddenly asked such a question, her habit over the years still made her answer truthfully: "It takes at least twenty years from planting to fruiting of a ginkgo tree, and at least half a year from flowering to seed maturity.
My grandmother said that I am like this ginkgo, which my parents have been asking for for so long, so they named me after ginkgo, another name for ginkgo. "
"Your explanation now is more sincere than last time."
Ging Guo wiped away her tears with her knuckles and raised her head to meet the superior's eyes in confusion.
She had not been able to hide for the past thirteen years, so how could she have had the last encounter... the last time!
Gingguo's tear-stained hands froze on her face, and she looked at the emperor in astonishment. Her expression could not be described with the word 'horror'.
Xuanxian sneered and said, "Now do you know how childish your little thoughts were back then?!"
Bai Guo was completely stunned, her mind was blank for a moment, she stared blankly at Sheng Yan and forgot everything.
Xuan Xian sighed, "After all, you have been raised by my side for several years, but why are you still so timid?"
As soon as he said this, Ging Guo confirmed it thoroughly. His lips trembled for a long time before he murmured the word "you".
Xuanxian shook his head and said: "When I made you the princess, I thought the name 'Ginkgo' was really unpleasant, so I wanted to give you a royal name. However, the Queen Mother persuaded me that your name was chosen by your parents. Your love keeps me from making my own decisions.
I curiously asked the imperial doctor and found out that it was so difficult for the ginkgo tree to bear ginkgo fruits. "
"I...the daughter of the people..." Bai Guo opened his mouth to say something, but then realized that no matter how he said this, it seemed to be a serious crime of bullying the emperor.
"Okay, if I didn't hold you accountable in my previous life, I wouldn't be able to commit the crime I'm punishing you for now."
At this moment, Bai Guo didn't feel very lucky at all. There was only one thought in his mind:
Not only was she reborn, but the emperor was also... reborn!
"When... did you... come back again?" Ging Guo blinked and took a long time to digest this matter.
"I don't know that my dear Princess Leping is not happy at all. Even if she lives a new life, she still wants to die." Xuanxian was wearing a solemn Kowloon emperor's uniform, and he was sitting behind the royal table with a golden sword. , the momentum is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Bai Guo lowered his head with a guilty look on his face and said in shame: "If it weren't for me... Your Majesty, your reputation would not be damaged. The eldest prince and the others..."
Bai Guo secretly raised his eyes to look at Xuan Xian. Seeing that Xuan Xian was not angry at all, he continued, "The eldest prince and the others will not force you."
"You will make excuses for them."
Xuan Xian did not see the anger, and continued calmly: "This golden position is already attractive, can you, a woman, change it? What's more, when the courtiers misunderstood, I did not explain it, but forcibly gave you the title of princess. Bit, if I say that, it’s my own fault.”
It was the first time that Bai Guo heard such an opinion and froze on the spot.
Xuan Xian glanced angrily, "What's wrong? Is it comfortable to kneel on the ground?"
Bai Guo sneered and stood up with his knees on his knees.
In her previous life, although she admired and marveled at the emperor, she was also presumptuous in front of him.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a big fuss in front of the emperor over the marriage.
And what she told Yan Ren about her wanton and unscrupulous life in Kyoto was not a lie, it was true.
"It's not easy for everyone to live in these troubled times, not to mention that God has given you an extra life. If you don't cherish it and anger the Lord of Hell, you may have to go to the animal realm to make amends in your next life."
Bai Guo lowered his head to listen to the instruction, and nodded obediently in response: "I understand, the daughter of the people."
Xuan Xian looked at Bai Guo's red eyes, looking pitiful, and couldn't help but rub his forehead.
