"Then what are your plans in the future?" Bai Guo looked calm, without any emotion of empathy or pity for others.
Bie Xia pinched herself hard to stop her trembling body from fear, and then said, "I want to follow the county master."
Bai Guo shook his head, "The emperor has told me not to marry, and you can't be my concubine."
Bie Xia pinched her own flesh and forced herself to speak: "I have thought about it. Since the county master does not want to get married, then I will not get married either."
"You are not unmarried, you want me to show you a good marriage." Bai Guo said, "I have a good temper and don't like to argue with you. After today's incident, you will still be my personal maid, and My status as the county head allows you to marry more than just farmers, so you don’t have to focus on your aunt’s position, right?"
Bie Xia's eyes widened suddenly.
"But that's okay." Gingo looked lazily at the people on the ground, "How old are you this year?"
Bie Xia gritted his teeth and said, "I am eighteen slaves."
"Yu Die, how old are you?"
"Slave sixteen." There were tears in Yu Die's eyes.
She was sold when she was almost six years old.
"Well, let me ask you a question, why did you get married?" Bai Guo tilted his head and looked behind him.
"Ah?" Yu Die blinked blankly and whispered, "I didn't plan this."
Bie Xia bit her lips and said, "I want to live a better life."
Bai Guo saw that Yu Die was really not enlightened, so he could only turn his head to look at Bie Xia, sighed and asked, "How do you think you are living a good life?"
Bie Xia copied Yu Die's confusion.
Bai Guo raised his eyebrows, "What? Haven't you thought about it?"
Bie Xia was particularly slow for the first time. He nodded stiffly after about two breaths.
"Then let me ask you, do you want to live like Aunt Xue, with people to take care of you and have no worries about food and clothing? Or do you want to be like my mother, in charge of the Bai family and be respected and loved by your husband? Or do you want to be like me? , Read when you like to study, paint when you want to paint, play the piano and chess when you want, play the piano and chess when you want, have money in your hand, and don’t have to worry about food and clothing.”
Don't open your mouth.
She knew that Gingguo had several stores, and these stores were enough for Ginguo's daily expenses.
It's just that... in her opinion, it's just out of reach.
"None of these are right? Then think about it slowly and give me the answer when you think of it. But I want you to remember not to let this happen again before you find the answer, otherwise..." Bai Guo raised his eyes, Terrifyingly powerful, "I would change the name 'Bie Xia' to someone else."
Bie Xia shivered and kowtowed quickly to express gratitude: "I thank the county master. I will never do this again in the future!"
Bai Guo stood up and walked towards the house. Yu Die hesitated for a moment and was about to follow. Bie Xia quickly got up and grabbed Yu Die and said softly: "I'll go."
Seeing that Bai Guo had already entered, Yu Die nodded and just stood in the yard waiting for a while. When he saw that there was no sound inside, he breathed a sigh of relief and left.
Today Bie Xia dared to say these words, which is a big improvement. If you can walk into what the young lady said in the future...
That means the lady’s idea is right! The eyes of those who live in the back will be placed in the front!
At dawn, Bai Guo got up, and Bie Xia filed in with a few maids, putting on shoes, washing her face, gargling, changing clothes, combing her hair, putting on makeup...
The carriage was already ready, and Pang Yang put down his footstool when he saw Ging Guo coming out.
"Brother Pang Yang, have you had breakfast?" Bai Guo, wearing a veil, asked Pang Yang with a smile in his eyes.
Pang Yang gave a silly smile and scratched his head.
He didn't have time to eat until he finished his martial arts practice in the morning. Today, Bai Guo had to go to the palace early, so he didn't have time to eat.
Ging Guo chuckled.
When she was in Fengzhou, Pang Yang followed her when she went out, so she knew it all too well.
Bie Xia skillfully handed over a small food box, and then helped Ging Guo into the carriage.
Pang Yang opened it and took a look. It was five big meat buns and a bowl of porridge.
He is active for a long time and his appetite is proportional to that, but among many foods, this is his favorite.
I wiped my hands and took it out to take a bite. The meaty aroma instantly filled my mouth, and the thick juice spread across the entire tongue.
fragrant!
Pang Yang sat on the carriage, without even moving, the horse knew it was time to leave.
In the carriage, Bie Xia poured tea for Ging Guo with his head lowered, and quietly glanced at Ging Guo who was reading seriously.
If she wore the veil before to prevent others from seeing her resemblance to the loving mother-in-law, then why does she continue to wear it now?
Also, every time I bring food to Pang Yang outside, I don’t see him saying thank you. How can the county owner not care?
"Brother Pang Yang." Bai Guo turned a page in the book in his hand and suddenly thought, "I won't come out until after lunch today, so you don't have to wait for me."
The process in the previous life was to go to the palace to greet the Queen Mother, then go to see the Emperor together, and then be asked about the current situation by the Emperor.
After that, I might spend some time painting with the Queen Mother, playing the piano, chatting about incense, making flower arrangements, or playing a game of chess with the Emperor, reading two of the Emperor's books for a while, and then I can have a meal with the Emperor. The royal meal is over.
If the emperor was not busy, he would wander outside and eat. Then she would go to the Queen Mother's place for a lunch break. After waking up, she would accompany the Queen Mother to worship Buddha.
Bie Xia looked at Ging Guo.
You haven't entered the palace yet and you know the emperor will definitely meet you?
"I'm waiting outside for the third lady. When will the third lady come out and when will Pang Yang leave?"
Pang Yang's voice came in, and Bai Guo put down the book in a funny manner, "I can't lose it after entering the palace."
Pang Yang said in a deep voice with great disapproval: "That won't work either."
Ging Guo's smile suddenly solidified.
——"Miss Third, do you want to go down?"
——"No."
In the end, he couldn't go down.
"Brother Pang Yang will have to wait outside for a long time." Bai Guo took some time to suppress the feeling of suffocation.
I entered the palace today to express my gratitude. Entering the palace with a male escort would easily cause gossip, so I had to let Pang Yang wait outside.
"Pang Yang is not afraid of waiting." It turned into Bai Guo's familiar silly voice again.
Ging Guo lowered his eyes, picked up the book and continued reading.
When Bie Xia got off the carriage in front of the palace's main entrance, he tidied up his things and was surprised to see wrinkles starting to appear on the pages of the book Ging Guo was holding.
In the three years that I have been with Bai Guo, I have never seen any book by Bai Guo leave any creases after reading it.
"This is for Brother Pang Yang." Bai Guo caught a glimpse of Bie Xia's movements and said.
Bie Xia collected her thoughts, agreed, and helped Ging Guo out of the carriage.
"There are tea and snacks in the carriage. Brother Pang Yang, just take it yourself." Ging Guo rarely stared at the other person when he spoke.
But Pang Yang didn't pay attention. He took the book from Bie Xia's hand and said that he knew it.
Ging Guo didn't raise her eyes and let Bie Xia help her into the main entrance.
It was still early at this time, and the palace roads were quiet except for a few palace maids and eunuchs with their heads hanging down, their shoulders hunched, and their backs hunched.
Gingguo never walked fast, but now that something was on his mind, he walked even slower.
So when there was a noise in front of him, Bai Guo looked over and saw an eight or nine-year-old child in fine clothes who was pushed to the ground.
If you take a closer look, you will see that the clothes and accessories are all the standard of a prince.
In total, the emperor had fourteen sons and eight daughters, and there are eight sons and five daughters who survive.
The eldest prince is twenty-seven years old this year. He is the daughter of Concubine Xian. He has been given the title of Prince Gong and given a mansion to live in.
The princess is Shen Muyun, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites, twenty-six years old.
The concubine is the daughter of the minister of Taipu Temple, twenty years old.
When the second prince was twenty-six years old, he was born to Concubine Li and was granted the title of King of Ceremony, and was given a mansion to live in.
The princess is Yao Pingying, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Industry, who is twenty-three years old.
The third prince is the current crown prince. He is twenty-two years old. He is the legitimate son of the queen and lives in the East Palace.
Married Lu Huiyue, the eldest daughter of the Grand Master, as the Crown Princess at the age of nineteen.
The sixth prince was twenty years old. He was the daughter of concubine An Gui who died in childbirth and was raised by Concubine De. However, he was the only one among the princes who had ever fought on the battlefield and killed enemies. He was named King of Dingxi and was given a mansion to live in.
The princess is the second daughter of Chonglu Shaoqing, and she is twenty years old.
When the Ninth Prince was nineteen years old, he was born to Xu Zhaoyi, who died of physical weakness after childbirth, and was raised by Concubine Li.
After the selection, the princess was just chosen and given a mansion, but not the king.
The tenth prince is fifteen years old. He is the son of noble Zhang. However, he is not of high enough rank to raise him by himself, so he is raised at the ritual cultivation place.
No mansion, no king, no princess
When the Thirteenth Prince was nine years old, he was born to Concubine Yi who died prematurely and was raised by Concubine Xian without naming him.
There is also the youngest fourteenth prince, who is three years old. He is born into a noble family, but his grade is not high enough. He is raised in the Yue Xiuyi House without being named.
So it was not difficult to guess that the one who was pushed to the ground was the Thirteenth Prince.
The person who pushed the Thirteenth Prince was a eunuch. Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he was of high class. Judging from the person following him, he should be of high status.
The eunuch didn't expect that someone would pass by at this time. He took a look at Ging Guo's clothes and didn't think of who it was for a moment.
The young father-in-law who was following behind him was clever and immediately came over and whispered: "Yesterday Eunuch Su went to the Bai family to see the rice paper. The emperor made the third daughter of the legitimate daughter the county head."
The eunuch in front couldn't help but shuddered when he heard this. When he looked at Bai Guo, he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head. Seeing that Bai Guo was walking slowly, he took two steps forward and knelt down to salute: "I have seen the Lord of Kangle County. .”
Bai Guo glanced at the group of people, and the little eunuchs who followed her all saluted her. The thirteenth prince on the ground looked dull, and he couldn't stand up on his own without anyone to help him.
And the fine clothes on his body had been rubbed and dirty. It seemed that this kind of pushing was not done twice.
"Yes." Bai Guo responded calmly and walked slowly past without looking away.
As soon as that step fell, it was like stepping on everyone's heart.
It wasn't until Bai Guo walked far away that the eunuch dared to get up from the ground and couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his head.
It's really strange. It's not that he has never met the county lord or the princess, he can meet him several times in a month.
But no one had the momentum to walk over.
Compared with what he had seen, it seemed like this one was raised in the palace.
"Godfather." The little eunuch couldn't help but call out when he saw the big eunuch was distracted.
"What?" The great eunuch came to his senses and hurriedly withdrew his eyes from staring at the figure in front of him.
"This..." The little eunuch looked at the Thirteenth Prince on the ground.
The big eunuch immediately winked, and the other little eunuchs behind him helped him up and walked out along the original route...
When they were approaching the imperial study room, they saw Su Qing guarding outside from a distance.
"The Lord of Kangle County is here." Su Qing came over excitedly when he saw Bai Guo for the first time, "The Emperor is waiting for you inside."
Bai Guo nodded slightly, took back the hand held by Bie Xia, and then crossed the threshold and entered.
Bie Xia bit her lip, glanced at Su Qing next to her, and stood aside obediently.
"Your Majesty, I would like to send you my regards." Bai Guo saluted without kneeling.
"Pretending." Behind the imperial desk, Xuan Xian scratched the memorial with a cinnabar pen and threw it aside.
I think the above content may not be interesting.
"How dare I not pretend to be so nervous when Eunuch Su looks so nervous?" Bai Guo curled his lips, and there was no one who looked even remotely demure in front of him.
"What can he understand?" Xuanxian said as he threw another memorial.
