(Original Chapter 93)
Emperor Xuande was secretly amused when he heard this, and stopped interfering too much.
But because he was worried, his attention did not completely move away from Danyang.
After the two of them played another round of Tai Chi, Bai Mingzhu seemed to notice that he was no longer watching, and wanted to go directly to him across Danyang.
At this time, Emperor Xuande frowned slightly when Danyang suddenly stepped sideways to block Bai Mingzhu's path. At the same time, he chuckled and said slowly:
"That's right, I just remembered it. My eldest cousin is the most loved by my grandmother, and her reputation as a virtuous and filial person is widely spread both inside and outside the house."
The moment Bai Mingzhu heard this, she raised her chin proudly.
Although she has been smart since she was a child, she has outstanding skills. But what makes her most proud is the praise and admiration she receives no matter where she goes.
Some of these admirations and admirations came from peers, and some came from noble ladies or heads of families in various houses. Even in recent years, he has received awards from Emperor Xuande himself during the New Year holidays.
Although the rewards were all small trinkets, this honor was something that not even Danyang, Emperor Xuande’s niece, had ever had.
It can be said that she is the first among many celebrities in the capital.
However, Danyang was not only not jealous, but also told her with excitement and satisfaction. Fortunately, she has an eldest cousin like her. Otherwise, if someone outside the family was so outstanding, she would definitely be ten times worse off than she is now.
At that time, Bai Mingzhu felt no pleasure or satisfaction from being praised. What stirred up her heart was the reputation and image that had been implicated for her after Danyang got into trouble.
If possible, she really wanted to cleanly remove the Danyang mother and daughter who were incompatible with the capital from the family. It would be best to drive her out of the capital and keep her out of sight.
It's a pity that the mother and daughter were deeply protected by Emperor Xuande, let alone anyone who dared to expel them. Even the slightest disrespect or bullying will cost you a lot in the future.
Because of this relationship, Bai Mingzhu has been Danyang's scapegoat since she was a child, ever since she was able to go out to socialize.
But the culprit not only had no idea about it, he also used her as a shield, which was so natural!
Not to mention, the various skills, fame and praise that Danyang never paid attention to.
This is what makes Bai Mingzhu the most depressed and hated.
But Danyang's mother and daughter have a strong backing. In addition to swallowing all kinds of pain, she also has to hide her true feelings and work hard to make friends with them. At least there can't be any rumors that he is at odds with Danyang. This is a principle that her family has repeatedly warned her about and asked her to abide by.
Because of this, when she first heard such words coming from Danyang's mouth, she was shocked and at the same time, an inexplicable sense of accomplishment and superiority made her feel a little elated.
"Well, it's okay. Why do you bring this up?"
While Danyang chuckled, he turned around and motioned to Bai Mingzhu to watch it together, and said with a smile:
"So, now is a good opportunity to show off to my eldest cousin."
When Bai Mingzhu heard this, she frowned in displeasure.
After secretly glancing at Empress Xuande, who was chatting in a low voice with the commander of the guards and completely unaware of her conversation with Danyang, Bai Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and complained to Danyang in a low voice with dissatisfaction.
"What nonsense are you talking about, girl?"
According to what she said, she would not be a person seeking fame and reputation!
If she leaves such an impression on Emperor Xuande, what's the point?
Not to mention anything else, her grandmother, who was very famous in the family, her mother who longed for her, and her father who was always willing to show off her, would never spare her!
Danyang didn't answer, he just kept talking to himself:
"My cousin has a good reputation, so she wouldn't watch her grandmother feel unwell and remain indifferent, right? If she didn't even notice the situation for the first time, would she have lost her good reputation?"
Although Bai Mingzhu was confused, she had to admit that the huge crisis revealed in the other person's words still made sense.
Because of this, Bai Mingzhu, who was confused, couldn't help but turn her head along Danyang's line of sight and look at the other side of the crowd, the main entrance of Songhe Hall.
It's okay not to look at it. As soon as his eyes touched the embarrassed and shaky figure by the door, Bai Mingzhu almost jumped up in fright.
Well, that couldn't be the grandmother who had always been dignified and virtuous, and rarely had a hair out of place, right? !
The shocked expression made Emperor Xuande couldn't help but become interested, and secretly glanced at the same side.
Mrs. Wu was so frightened that she had yet to recover. Almost her entire body was leaning against the door frame and the guards. Not to mention caring about his image, his eyes were dull and distracted at the moment, and he was trembling slightly uncontrollably.
This is why she stood there for a long time without being seen by anyone in the Duke's Mansion. He didn't take the initiative to speak out and take charge of the overall situation.
As soon as Emperor Xuande's eyes touched her, he couldn't help but want to put his hand on his forehead.
Hey, this is all a good thing done by his niece. See what she has done to such a noble lady?
Emperor Xuande, who felt deeply that he was also responsible, immediately turned his head and ordered the guards on the side to secretly find an imperial doctor to treat Mrs. Wu.
At the same moment, Danyang also spoke. While waking up Bai Mingzhu, he persuaded him thoughtfully:
"First cousin, please seize the opportunity. If the sisters next to you also see it, you can seize the opportunity..."
At the same time, she also advised:
"Also, cousin, it's best to send the person to a secluded place and then try to wake him up completely."
There are endless generations of juniors in the Duke's palace, and there are countless capable and capable men and women.
————————
(The second half of the original 91)
Danyang saw his uncle, the emperor, who was praised by people all over the world for his decisiveness in killing and being the dictatorial emperor. Only after facing her coquettishness, would he show such an angry and helpless expression of defeat. Not just once...
Her heart felt warm for a moment, but she couldn't help but lower her head and smile.
At this time, a burst of chaotic footsteps came from the corridor that ran through the front yard from far to near.
The guard commander did not know the truth. After hearing this, he immediately ordered his subordinates to brace themselves and prepare for the attack.
After that, he turned around and admonished Emperor Xuande hurriedly:
"Your Majesty, please put your own safety first! The assassin has been found in the Duke's palace, and I'm afraid it's hard to get away with it. Please give the order to return to the palace immediately!"
What if the Duke's Mansion is the mastermind behind the scenes, and they find out that His Majesty has paid an unannounced visit to their house, and mistakenly believe that the incident has occurred, will they jump to the wall and directly plan to threaten His Majesty's safety? !
Even if the men he brings out this time are all elites selected from a thousand, they are still unable to defeat four hands with two fists. There is no guarantee that Emperor Xuande can escape unscathed!
At this moment, the commander was so anxious that his back was sweating, and the veins on his forehead were forced out.
Emperor Xuande sighed secretly, but only waved his hand.
"It's nothing serious. Put away your swords and stay where you are."
While asking the attendants to put away their swords, he strode out of the protective circle and stood in front of everyone.
"His Majesty!"
When the commander stepped in front of Emperor Xuande and shouted, there was already a figure on the opposite side turning the corner. And it almost overlapped with his voice, echoing in this small courtyard.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I arrived late to pick you up, and the house has not been cleaned and prepared, so I will wait for you."
