Su Li laughed: "Uncle Bai, are you a bit unkind? You are honest with His Highness, but you hide it from me! Is it because our friendship is not deep?"
"I'm overthinking it!" Bai Ze snorted, "I'm not honest with him either! I hide a lot of things from him!"
Xiao Lin: "..."
"What did you hide from me?"
Bai Ze glanced at him: "The secret must not be revealed!"
Xiao Lin narrowed his eyes: "Perhaps if you have lost your soul, you will leak it, right?"
"No!" Bai Ze shook his head decisively, "Don't be too impatient. I won't tell you because I don't know what's going on. Since I don't know the truth, I can't speak randomly. What if I say something wrong? , it’s not good for you two! But don’t worry, all the mysteries will be solved when you find your true identity!”
"Since you don't know, why did you hide it just now?" Xiao Lin whispered, "Are you deliberately trying to whet our appetite?"
Bai Ze gave him a melancholy look in his eyes, and just as he was about to speak, a guard from outside came to report: "Your Highness, Miss Gao and Miss Qi want to see you!"
"What is Miss Gao and Miss Qi?" Xiao Lin frowned, "Who is that?"
"Are they Gao Yue and Qi Yao?" Li Rufeng reacted first.
"It's them!" The inner guard nodded, "They said they have something important to discuss with His Highness! Your Highness, please be sure to meet them!"
"Those two boudoir girls, what can I discuss with them?" Xiao Lin waved his hand, "No see! Let them go back! If anything happens, just ask their father and brother to come and talk to me!"
The inner guard knew that he had never wanted to have anything to do with these noble ladies from aristocratic families, so he nodded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Su Li.
"Your Highness, let's meet them! Maybe they really have something important to say to you!"
Xiao Lin twisted his head to look at her, and Su Li nodded to her with a smile.
In fact, she had already guessed the purpose of these two people.
That day Xiao Lin proposed, and Mrs. Su agreed. After taking her back to her house, she warned her of what she might encounter in advance, specifically mentioning Gao Yue and Qi Yao.
There are so many noble ladies in Kyoto who are in love with Xiao Lin. The selection of the crown prince was also an unprecedented event. Countless noble ladies were looking forward to it, eager to see the crown prince Xiao Lin. Even if they wanted to be a concubine, they were squeezed out. head.
Later, Gao Yue and Qi Yao stood out. Xiao Lin was also satisfied with this and even held a special banquet for them. Everyone in the capital knew about this. The concubine position that was originally within easy reach suddenly fell into Su Li's hands. One can imagine the mood of the two of them.
At this moment, these two people suddenly came to the palace to see each other. They must have something to ask Xiao Lin.
If she were the daughter of an ordinary family, Xiao Lin would disappear without seeing her, but the Gao family and the Qi family are Xiao Lin's ministers and should not be treated lightly, lest they damage the harmony between the monarch and his ministers.
Naturally, Xiao Lin quickly understood her thoughts and nodded to her: "Ali, come with me!"
"It's better not to give it up!" Su Li shook his head, "It's easier for you to talk to me when I'm not here! After all, you once intended to welcome them into the East Palace! Now that you have appointed me as your queen, and you don't accept the palace concubine, in a sense, it's If you go back on your word, you really should give them an explanation!"
"When did that happen?" Xiao Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "They had already accepted this fact after Emperor Xiao introduced Zhang Xueyun. What else do they need from me to explain? I originally intended to welcome them into the East Palace, but that At that time, I didn’t have anyone I liked in my heart, so it didn’t matter who entered the East Palace! I even accepted Zhang Xueyun! I didn’t marry them because I liked them or had feelings for them!”
"I know, but if you were in their position, you might not think so..." Su Li took his hand and coaxed, "Just for my sake, talk to them properly. , tell me the truth, so as not to arouse any resentment and alienate the monarch and his ministers, that will be my sin!"
"You little girl, you think too much!" Xiao Lin spread his hands helplessly, "Okay, for your sake, I'll meet them!"
"I'll stay away for now!" Su Li turned around and left, but Xiao Lin reached out to hold him back, "Don't leave, just hide behind the screen!"
「
don't want! ” Su Li flatly refused.
According to her guess, the two girls who were jealous at this time would not say anything good about her.
However, she could understand their mood.
However, if she was waiting to be scolded, she might as well forget it. She hid away and had a clear head.
Xiao Lin couldn't defeat her and had to let her leave.
Su Li walked a few steps and suddenly turned back: "Your Highness, can you promise me something?"
"Don't say one thing, just say ten thousand!" Xiao Lin said with a doting look on his face, "Just say it!"
Su Li coughed lightly: "If... I mean if, if the two girls said something not so pleasant when they mentioned me, could your Highness be patient for a little bit for me?"
"Why should you endure it?" Xiao Lin frowned, "You are my fiancée, and you will soon be my wife! You are a woman, how can you allow others to slander you?"
"Don't talk so much!" Su Li pulled his sleeves and acted coquettishly, "If you think so, the two girls Gao Qi are happy with you. Now that they know that you only dote on me, they must not be happy in their hearts. Naturally, there are some criticisms, which is human nature! They may not be able to think about it for a moment, but since His Highness is a prince, he cannot be as familiar with women in the boudoir as they are. He should be more tolerant and give them a process of acceptance and relief! We are all our own people. , let’s save some face for each other and don’t cause any unpleasantness!”
"Why are you thinking about so many things in your little head?" Xiao Lin reached out and poked her forehead, "There are not even as many of the eighteen bends on the mountain road as you have here!"
"It's possible that I'm overthinking it..." Su Li chuckled, "But it's better to make more preparations!"
"Okay, okay! Got it!" Xiao Lin sighed, "Just go ahead! I'll listen to you in everything!"
Su Li heard his promise and left with peace of mind.
Bai Ze watched with emotion: "Little Ali is such a beautiful and kind girl! She is so gentle and tolerant towards her love rivals!"
"That's it!" Xiao Lin raised his head proudly, "That's Gu's wife! She is the best! Okay, don't say this, come with Gu and see what these two girls are like when they are in heaven. What identity!"
Bai Ze heard the hidden meaning in his words and said in shock: "Don't you think they are your enemies? They are obviously admirers!"
"Who knows if they will turn from love to hate?" Xiao Lin hummed, "find it early and solve it early, so as to save them from daydreaming about it!"
"You are still as ruthless and unjust as ever!" Bai Ze sighed.
"Stop talking nonsense! Come here!"
Xiao Lin walked out of the inner room of the side hall, arrived at the main hall, and sent Xuan Gaoyue and Qi Yao into the hall.
