They originally thought that what Bai Guo wanted was sailor training methods, and they thought that what Bai Guo wanted was coastal management methods, but she didn't ask for any of these. That day, they, Han Shangguo, didn't guess what she wanted, and she seemed to have lost interest in Han Shangguo. If you are interested, you will generally ignore it.
So this time Han Shangguo was more sincere than before, especially when Chengzhou defeated Fengguo until he needed to buy back his own city.
…
Kyoto.
Bai Mingzhi played her newly composed music over and over again, revising the bad parts again and again. The little maid outside came in lightly. Bai Mingzhi played it for the last time and felt it was still acceptable, then sighed and asked: " whats the matter?"
"Master Chang is here."
Bai Mingzhi was curious, "What is he doing here?"
"Madam said that Mr. Chang came here to thank Fourth Miss and asked Fourth Miss to go and see him."
Bai Mingzhi wrinkled her nose and shook her head, "No, he is very fake. If Sister Nong didn't want to gain some fame through this matter, I wouldn't be too lazy to get this limelight."
The little maid advised: "Master Chang has already come to your door. It is always not good for Miss Fourth to miss you."
Coming over to express gratitude is not the same as coming to visit.
Bai Mingzhi still shook her head, "If you don't want to go, just say that I got cold yesterday."
The little maid felt the hot weather and didn't know how to say this.
"Then I broke my leg and can't walk." Bai Mingzhi played the piano twice, "My mother asked me to play a song at General Chizhong's celebration banquet, but I couldn't listen to it myself. If I let others What should I do if I think my third sister is at my level?"
Bai Mingzhi was a little worried, "How about I discuss with my mother and let me perform my embroidery skills at the banquet?"
The little maid looked at the rotten wood on the corner of her clothes, which was said to be a real bamboo, and didn't know how to answer.
"Forget it, I'll go find Sister Nong and ask."
The little maid opened her mouth, and Bai Mingzhi also thought that she had just asked the little maid to say that her leg was broken.
Bai Mingzhi turned her mouth in displeasure, "If you don't come sooner, you won't come later. How long did it take for this matter to be over before you come here? It shows that you are not sincere. Let your father and second uncle just say a few polite words. If I go, I will only get a few compliments." Look at his fake appearance."
The little maid didn't know why Bai Mingzhi kept saying that Chang Ziming was fake. After all, Master Chang looked very good-tempered.
Bai Mingzhi was still trying to think of some good excuses when a little maid came in again. Bai Mingzhi thought she was here to urge her and immediately frowned, but the little maid said: "Master Chang said that the Fourth Miss must be practicing the piano these days. There is no need to go to the front if you are tired, and I also said that I would give this music score to Miss Fourth as a thank you."
Bai Mingzhi was stunned for a moment and said, "He has really good ears. He can hear me practicing the piano outside."
The Bai family's management of servants is very strict, and Bai Mingzhi naturally knows that, so Chang Ziming can also know that she practices the piano. Bai Mingzhi really can't think of anything.
The little maid thought for a while and said, "Maybe Miss Nong told me."
Nong Chan saw it when she came to look for Bai Mingzhi before.
Bai Mingzhi didn't dwell on this issue, she just flipped through the music score and was stunned.
"This gift is quite valuable." Bai Mingzhi has always been careless on the surface but careful in her heart. Now when she saw this musical score created by everyone, she really didn't doubt it at all.
"Is anyone gone?"
"left already."
"knew."
After flipping through page after page, Bai Mingzhi placed the score next to her piano and said, "Tell mother to choose a generous gift as a return gift."
The little maid agreed and left.
In the palace, Xuanxian closed his eyes and rested, leaning on a chair. A new chair was added next to him.
When it was almost done, Xuanxian finally opened his eyes, but there was still a look of fatigue in his eyes that couldn't go away.
"Wait for the prince to come and take care of these. Father, please rest for a while." Xuan Yuyan placed the most important books in Xuan Xian's hands, and placed some large piles next to them that Xuan Yuansi could handle. .
Xuan Xian started to read one of the books and said, "He took care of it within a few months."
Xuan Yuyan didn't know how bad Xuan Xian's health was, and the imperial doctor couldn't ask anything. But now that she heard this sentence, Xuan Yuyan understood a little more. After a pause, she still didn't ask that sentence. My father wants Supervisor Bai to sit in this position.
She is no longer her former self, so naturally she can see more.
Xuan Xian read several memorials again and again before putting down his pen. Xuan Yuyan got up and gave Xuan Xian a new cup of tea. Then she heard Xuan Xian ask: "Is there anything going on over there, Supervisor Bai?"
She had read and sorted out the unimportant and non-urgent things. If there was nothing major there, she would have read them.
Xuan Yuyan did not hide anything, "General Chizhong set off from Ruiyu Prefecture, and he will be back soon. Supervisor Bai's people's hearts have been gathered, planting has been arranged, and roads and bridges are being built. Now the two prefectures are very Peaceful.”
Xuan Xian nodded and didn't ask anything. Xuan Yuyan couldn't hold back and asked, "Why did my father make such a fuss?"
Xuan Xian looked up at Xuan Yuyan, "What?"
"My father has not dealt with the Bai family's affairs, which has allowed rumors to spread and exposed all those who support Ging Guo. If my father wants to clean up Ging Guo's people or those who are hostile to Ging Guo, he can come here, but my father has waited until the people I wrote a petition to calm down the matter and thoroughly investigate these people. I don’t understand why we need to take this extra step.”
Xuan Xian put down the pen in his hand and asked Xuan Yuyan, "What do you think my father is doing?"
Xuan Yuyan didn't dare to answer.
"Supervisor Bai can get to where she is today without the help of her father. But if she wants to go further, she cannot always have her father behind her. His father is her leader, but at the same time it is also a restriction."
In the first four years, he brought the third daughter of the Bai family to the public. During these four years, he rarely helped her. Now that she was strong enough, he let her reveal her beauty and let her appear in the eyes of the public. .
"What position does your father still want to push her to?"
Isn’t being a second-grade supervisor considered a high position?
Xuan Yuyan couldn't think of how many high positions there were in the world, and what high positions required her father to work so hard.
"Aren't you afraid that the wolf you raised is a wolf? Aren't you afraid that she will hate you?"
What happened this time was not an ordinary thing, and that person was also an ordinary person.
"Father, do you think the prince can suppress her in the future?" Xuan Yuyan didn't understand why Xuan Xian trusted Bai Guo so much, so she wanted an answer.
"Suppress her?" Xuan Xian smiled, "Only those who are incompetent would think this way. Those who are capable should let her do things better for Cheng Zhou."
So from the beginning, Xuan Xian never thought about what to do if she was too powerful. He always thought about how to make her feathers longer to prepare for it.
The other Xuanxians did not answer, and Xuan Yuyan did not ask again.
In fact, these things have been going on for a long time. Even if there is no answer, I have become accustomed to it. Once I get used to it, it seems that I have the answer.
"You are all afraid that she will become a wolf and cruel to my father, but how can a being who is surrounded by more and more people and is recognized by more and more people become a wolf? If you ask my father about his position, he doesn't know. .”
Xuanxian sighed: "She is walking very fast now. My father can't think of where she can go next."
It’s about wherever you go, not a high position.
So in his eyes, her path is endless.
Xuan Yuyan was a little envious. The path she took was just hers, but she was paving the way for thousands of people. How many people in Chengzhou were influenced by her in just a few years?
Not only women, but as far as she knew there were no less than a hundred people, and this could still reach her ears.
But she couldn't take this path.
You can't be such a leader.
"When my father was raising her, he was wondering if he would be able to see the day when you want to do something."
Xuan Yuyan replied in a very soft voice: "My son..."
"You have already started to do it. This is enough. Only when you have started can you go forward." Xuanxian said happily: "You are different from her. She lives to die without fear. You are wearing a complicated and rich gown. You need to Father Time can understand."
"When my father was young and in the military camp, no one looked down on him, let alone the soldiers. But it was the soldiers who saved my father's life. They blocked my father's body and a spear penetrated his chest. But he still clung to the enemy to prevent him from getting close to his father.
That was the second year after my father entered the military camp. Later, my father could warm themselves over the fire with them, eat together, and sleep together. The princely clothes my father had been wearing were finally replaced by more suitable clothes. Until later, even if my father Even if you don't want to wear those clothes, no one will disobey your father's orders. "
Xuanxian said: "It was not this yellow robe that made my father sit in this position. If my father doesn't like this dress, changing it will not affect my father's position in their hearts."
"This is my father's confidence."
Xuan Yuyan understood. She knew that although Bai Guo was an official, he still wore women's clothes. The official clothes were later changed several times to resemble a woman's body shape.
She didn't need an official uniform to confirm her position. Her position was such that officials could not refute her position. Even when there were rumors that she was going to proclaim herself king, no one suspended her pending investigation.
What Dali Temple investigates are those who have spread rumors, what the common people complain about are rumors, and what officials complain about are those who have been wronged.
She didn't even need to explain too much, the world was already on her side.
But what if this position was still forcibly given to her by her father?
It doesn’t take much thinking to know the difference.
"I know this." Xuan Yuyan said, "The princess of Chengzhou Kingdom must be recognized by the people of Chengzhou Kingdom."
The princess of Chengzhou Kingdom does not need to be recognized by the people to be the princess, but the princess of Chengzhou Kingdom also needs the recognition of the people of Chengzhou Kingdom to be the princess.
