This time it was Bai Guo who fell silent, but the silence at this time only made Xuan Yuyan even more angry.
Bai Guo saw that Xuan Yuyan was really about to smash the tea cup on her head before speaking: "What did the emperor say when the princess went to court?"
Xuan Yuyan sat across from Ging Guo with a 'bang' sound, and her tearful and angry words made everyone's voice clear, "When I went to court, my father said..."
"...I decided to go to court because..."
——"Both the father and the prince cannot show up. I understand that I will manage the court and the Kingdom of Zhou well and wait for my father."
——"No need to wait for Father, just do what you should do."
——"My father may live long, and my sons and ministers will definitely be able to wait for their father!"
At that time, she only asked her father to take care of himself, but she ignored it...
The angry Xuan Yuyan seemed to be a different person in an instant. The mood that she wanted to question a moment ago actually made her die on the spot.
Xuan Yuyan was stunned as if she was thinking about something, but in an instant Xuan Yuyan came back to her senses and looked at Bai Guo, "But you... but I... but..."
"I……"
Xuan Yuyan didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and she didn't know how she felt now.
These people have been waiting for this day since the day she went to court, waiting for the day when the prince had to come out. It was so logical...
cruel.
She seems...
Her role...
She was the only one who took this scene seriously.
Xuan Yuyan felt that luckily she had already sat down, otherwise she would not have made a big fool of herself, but at this time she was thinking about what kind of face she still had?
The capital is the same with or without her, and the world is the same with or without her. It seems that the true princess is a joke.
Her efforts are a joke these days.
Xuan Yuyan had already left when Ni Dairou came, and everything was fine in the house. Gingo's expression was very normal, "Did you comfort the princess?"
"I don't know how to speak." Ging Guo slowly picked up a tea cup and placed it on his left hand, then slowly poured in the tea, "Mom, stop asking."
Ni Dairou held Gingguo's cold hand while pouring tea and warmed it, "Then I won't say anything."
Bai Minghui stood at the door and stared at the snow for a long time, until he heard footsteps approaching.
Bai Mingshao looked at the sky and snow, and after a few breaths he said, "I will be away for a few months tomorrow."
Those are the reasons I mentioned when I entered Lezhou, and there is no need to say more now.
Bai Minghui nodded without speaking.
Bai Mingshao's eyes fell in the direction where Bai Minghui was looking, "Actually, I should be the one standing here. Compared to you now, I am just..."
Bai Mingshao smiled lightly and said naturally, "A small heir of the Bai family, his name is inconspicuous in this Kyoto."
"Same as you." Bai Minghui did not turn around, "What the Bai family can do is let her go if the court officials are not willing to do it."
"Sometimes I feel that she is pitiful. Countless officials in the court gave up their best opportunities just to avoid offending this princess, but she can't behave like these people." Bai Mingshao said: "It's no wonder she I don’t like Kyoto.”
"But there is probably going to be a heavy snowfall in Kyoto." Bai Mingshao answered the words quickly, as if he didn't want to think too much about the content of this heavy snow, "You should take more precautions."
Bai Minghui nodded, "Of course, be careful on the road."
Bai Mingshao bowed his hands and left.
After papermaking was introduced to the academy, countless students participated in it in just a short period of time, including many martial arts students.
Bai Guo seemed to be able to see those overflowing students and hear the laughter in Pang Yan's letters, but on the next page of the letter, she said: "Martial arts students are young and easy to be instigated by others. A few days ago, they were confused by what others said. The governors have been murdered and they all hold sharp weapons and vow to enter the palace. Someone smart can figure out the relationship and stabilize it."
There were just a few words on the letter, but Ging Guo didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The little maid quietly entered the door carrying hot water, and silently arranged the things for washing.
Even if there was one more person in Anjing, it would be different. Bai Guo came to his senses and pressed the letter under the inkstone.
The prince's return to the court is an exciting event for everyone. Even the common people can feel that the atmosphere in Kyoto is completely different from before, but there is something else in the joy...
At the end of February, the emperor still did not go to court and did not see any courtiers in the same month. The atmosphere in the court became more and more weird as each day passed.
People who support the prince are always extremely tense during this period.
When Ging Guo appeared at Ni's house, Mrs. Ni was boiling milk. When she saw Ging Guo, she came over and shared a cup of Ging Guo. "In the early years, we followed the emperor for a meal, and your uncle and I were so hungry that we fell off our horses." After that, I was promised that all the children in the family would drink the most precious milk."
Ging Guo holds the hot tea cup, and the fragrance of milk in it makes people unable to take their eyes away.
"This is today's new gift from the palace. Ni Cheng and Ni Yu have grown up now and don't like drinking this milk anymore. It's up to me, an old woman, to make up for it."
Mrs. Ni smiled and slowly sipped her lips bit by bit, with a casual and relaxed expression. If it was not possible during the day, she would still bask in the sun on the recliner.
Ginkgo turned the tea cup in his hand around and around, and the milk in it also followed, swaying around and around.
"Pang Yang has been in the palace for a few days, right?"
Mrs. Ni's question was a bit abrupt with her current state, which was why Gingguo didn't speak for a while.
"Well." Mrs. Ni took the initiative to mention it so that Bai Guo could finally tell what was in her heart. "It has been several months. The emperor has not given me any answer, but he has not asked anyone to come out."
Mrs. Ni slowly sipped the milk, her whole body was in a completely opposite state to Ginkgo, "Are you afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos and kill Pang Yang when something changes in Kyoto?"
After all, it couldn't be compared to spring and summer. The milk in my hands became warm in a short time. "If someone is interested in taking advantage of the chaos... or uses this to blackmail me, I'm afraid something will really happen in the end."
"Are you sure there will be changes in Kyoto?" Mrs. Ni drank all the milk in the teacup and looked at Ginkgo.
"If it wasn't confirmed, my grandfather wouldn't have been in the palace for such a long time."
Bai Guo said: "How can a person like Prince Gong watch the prince gather all his power? If he doesn't take action at this time, he will encourage Prince Li to take action. If Prince An and Prince Jing take action, he will never watch."
"You know him well." Mrs. Ni asked again before Gingo could speak: "If you don't want to drink the milk in your hand, just give it to me."
Ging Guo held it without moving or speaking.
"I just told you that if you have anything to do, you can go directly to the emperor. He will tell you everything you want to know. He is no different from before."
Mrs. Ni, who had been watching this for several years from a peasant woman to now, was extremely certain of her own words, "What do you think?"
Bai Guo shook his head and put the milk in Mrs. Ni's hand, "I don't know, I just suddenly realized... It seems that everyone cares about Brother Pang Yang more than me, which makes me unable to calm down."
Mrs. Ni did not answer, and looked at the moonlight for a moment, "Is your grandmother okay?"
Bai Guo looked at Mrs. Ni in confusion. Why was she talking about her grandmother at this time?
"Hua Chenyi was on duty for twenty days last month, ten days last month, and not even one day this month."
Bai Guo was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I know a little bit. Grandma went to pray for blessings a few days ago."
Mrs. Ni knocked Ginguo on the head and said, "You know why you don't want to go see someone?"
Bai Guo didn't react, "My uncle came to Bai's house a few days ago and talked with my grandmother for a long time. My brother's diagnosis of the pulse was just because of tiredness. I can rest for a few more days..."
Bai Guo suddenly frowned when he said this. Now that the emperor did not get up, the old ministers who were with the emperor also started...
"They are the only ones with the most power. If they don't get involved, this incident can be considered controllable."
Mrs. Ni said: "No one can confirm how long the emperor can hold on, but no one can confirm whether the prince can hold on."
Mrs. Ni sighed heavily, "Now the emperor is clearing the way for the prince again. This time, the prince will be the new emperor. No one can compete with him, and it is enough for him to grow up."
"Are you still worried now?"
Mrs. Ni's every word is clear.
The emperor wanted to give Chengzhou a new king, and he also wanted Chengzhou to move forward, and the civil strife was limited to Kyoto.
The emperor has handled all the matters well and will definitely give the people of Kyoto a way out. Judging from these, the emperor will also ensure that Pang Yang is not in danger, so Ging Guo has nothing to worry about.
"The war is changing rapidly, who can guarantee it?" Bai Guo raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Ni, "Grandma, are you really not worried if grandpa doesn't come back?"
Bai Guo just wanted to let Mrs. Ni understand her current state of mind, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Ni burst out laughing at her words, "You haven't gotten married yet, so you just use this metaphor. If we get married in the future, it will be fine." ?Are you ashamed?"
Mrs. Ni's joke made Bai Guo purse her lips, and some enthusiasm began to surge on her face, but Bai Guo answered Mrs. Ni seriously and word by word, "Brother Pang Yang and I are married."
At this moment, it seemed as if the Ni family's martial arts arena was silent for a moment.
Mrs. Ni looked at Bai Guo in astonishment. She wanted to ask something but couldn't.
"The emperor wants to protect the crown prince and protect the Zhou Dynasty, but it is difficult to let go of Prince Gong and Prince Li. They are both princes who the emperor has watched grow up. How can he really make arrangements without any scruples? What I'm afraid of is that both Prince Gong and Prince Li Once you know this, you can take advantage of it..."
Bai Guo sighed softly, "But I can't say this to the emperor."
Sending his parents and children to a place where they have no chance to be close to the throne is to cut off Prince Gong's last thoughts and anger.
Is Prince Gong, who has been specializing in this arrangement for decades, really under the control of the emperor?
Mrs. Ni watched Ging Guo count her breath but avoided the topic and asked instead: "Do you think the emperor locked up Pang Yang because he was afraid that Pang Yang would treat Prince Gong and Prince Li like foreign enemies?"
Mrs. Ni also heard about what Pang Yang looked like on the battlefield.
"Yes." This time Ging Guo should be very clear.
"That's really difficult to handle." Mrs. Ni said this: "You can't tell the emperor to be ruthless and you can't let the emperor think that you want to let Prince Gong and Prince Li... It's hard to tell Pang Yang to come out. .”
