The delicate beauty was spoiled by four older brothers after her rebirth

Chapter 161

It has long been heard that her elder brothers dote on her like their own, and they choose the best for everything.

I thought that under the power of the Bai family, the girl raised by the Bai family should be arrogant and domineering, but Bai Xianyu's answer was impeccable, and no one could find fault.

Concubine An Gui glanced at her, if she could bear children, she would be worthy of her.

"I heard from Yi'er that you seem to like the prince from Daqing?"

"Your Highness misunderstood."

"How is your fourth brother recently? I often hear about your other brothers, but I haven't heard about Bai Jiashiro."

"Fourth brother is preparing for the scientific examination, so he doesn't show up often."

"Your elder brother is about to return in triumph, right? This time he has made great achievements in battle. I wonder what His Majesty will reward you?"

"The courtiers dare not speculate on the holy will."

Concubine An wanted to ask questions, and by the way, she saw Bai Xianyu staring straight at one direction, "Your Majesty, there are so many beauties in this palace, I never thought that a palace lady could be so beautiful."

Concubine An looked surprised, "You misunderstood, that's not some court lady, that's the daughter of the former governor of Hangdu, Xu Wanru, also known as Xu Changzai."

Bai Xianyu was stunned for a moment, and then said apologetically, "I thought she was a court lady seeing her attire."

At this moment, Xu Changzai also found them, he seemed to hesitate a bit, but came over to say hello.

"Greet your concubine's concubine."

Concubine An felt that she couldn't hold back, "You are dressed so plainly, could it be that you have been wronged by staying in this palace, so you feel resentful and deliberately annoying?"

"The concubine dare not!" Xu Changzai hurriedly knelt down.

"Firstly, there was an accident in the servant's concubine's family, and he really didn't want to dress up. Secondly, the minister's concubine had no money to reward, and there was little charcoal fire in winter. They survived hard, and there was no money to buy hairpins and rings..."

Due to the lack of health of the Empress, Concubine An took over Fengyin as her substitute and took charge of the inner palace.

Doesn't this make it clear that those dog servants in the harem watch people order food and almost kill the concubine!
Bai Xianyu's face was full of emotion, and he took a step forward, actually pulled out the golden hairpin from his head, and put it in Xu Changzai's palm.

"Xu Changzai don't have to worry about it. Mr. Xu is auspicious and has his own destiny. Nothing will happen. This hairpin is for you."

Bai Xianyu is like this as an outsider, Concubine An frowned, waved her sleeves and said: "Sister, don't worry, I'm going to question those dog servants who withheld Liulixuan's charcoal fire, and I will definitely make it up for you." .”

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Liu Yun, who was thinner than her master, "It seems that my sister also lacks a few sensible servants. Tomorrow, the Japanese palace will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send some maids and eunuchs there. If you have any difficulties , just come and talk to Bengong.”

Xu Changzai thanked again and again, tears streaming down his face.

Bai Xianyu slightly pursed his lips and said: "The imperial concubine is really kind and loving, no wonder the grace is not fading."

Concubine An was so comfortable with the praise, she raised her hand to support her bun, "Xianyu's mouth can really talk, come on, let's go there and have a look."

Bai Xianyu glanced at Xu Changzai, then turned to follow.

……

When he returned to Liulixuan, Liu Yun dared to pant, "Master, I frightened the servant to death just now, and the face of the noble concubine turned green. Every time the servant heard you say a word, the breath of the noble concubine became more unstable. will be punished."

"But I didn't expect the imperial concubine to reward so many things, and more people will come to take care of the master in the future."

Xu Wanru thought, this is all thanks to Bai Xianyu, Concubine An is most concerned about face, and she will never be wronged in front of her, and it is not that she did not go to see Concubine An at the most difficult time, but An Guifei The imperial concubine just said lightly that slaves should be punished, and beat the servants beside her to death, leaving only Liu Yun.

If her father was an official in the court, she would definitely not fall into a situation where everyone could step on her.

She also took the risk this time. Surprisingly, Bai Xianyu cooperated with her very well.

About half an hour passed.

Bai Xianyu bid farewell to Concubine An, and came to Liulixuan with shopkeeper Sheng, because more or less people in the palaces knew shopkeeper Sheng and what she was here for, so no one cared.

After entering Liulixuan, Xu Wanru immediately put down the tea in her hand and hurried out, "Miss Bai."

Bai Xianyu smiled, "Go into the room and talk."

Xu Wanru nodded and let Liuyun go out to watch the wind.

After entering the room, Xu Wanru asked her to sit first before she sat herself.

"Girl, please accept my worship."

Bai Xianyu wanted to help her up, "What are you doing?"

"Young lady is sending charcoal in a timely manner. I don't know how to get into her eyes. I'm really terrified." Xu Wanru insisted on bowing, even though Bai Xianyu was much younger than her, she didn't mind.

"I know that my status is low, but Heng'er is my darling. If the girl can keep him safe, Wanru can do whatever she wants! Even if she dies for the girl, I am willing."

She was already alone, and if something happened to Heng'er, she would not want to live anymore!
There is no unreasonable show of favor, since Bai Xianyu chose her, then she must have something she needs.

Bai Xianyu pondered for two seconds, "How is the eighth prince doing now?"

"Heng'er's health has been declining recently, and the imperial doctor can't find out what's wrong. I'm really worried, can you help me, Miss?"

Bai Xianyu thought of Gu Yu, "Can't Doctor Gu Yu see it too?"

Xu Wanru smiled sadly, "Doctor Gu Yu only treats the empress, I don't even want to see him."

Bai Xianyu patted her hand reassuringly, "Don't worry, I have quite a friendship with him, let me talk to him."

"Girl's kindness and virtue, I will never forget it!"

Seeing that she was about to kneel down again, Bai Xianyu said helplessly, "I am not from the palace, so my lord doesn't need to perform such vain rituals."

Xu Wanru covered her face and wept, "Wanru has nothing to repay, I don't know what the girl really wants, so I can feel at ease by saying it."

"What I want is very simple." Bai Xianyu didn't beat around the bush, "I want you to compete for favor."

Xu Wanru was startled, "Fight for favor?"

"I want you to walk to the position of Concubine An step by step, and I will help you too."

"and then?"

"Then..." Bai Xianyu paused slightly, "Xu Changzai is a smart person, so he should have guessed it."

Xu Wanru hesitated a little, but then she thought about it, her and Heng'er's lives might not be saved, what else could she not do!
"Miss, do you want to support Heng'er to be... the crown prince?" Xu Wanru said the last few words in a very low voice.

Bai Xianyu heard it clearly, and said with a slight smile, "No."

Xu Wanru was puzzled.

"What I want is...the position of prince is always vacant."

If there is always a vacancy, then the brothers don't have to stand in line, and Emperor Wu Xuan will not deliberately create opportunities to let the general's mansion and the prince approach.

Anyone can be a prince, and anyone can get their assistance.

Correspondingly, the General's Mansion will become the target of various factions before the crown prince is established, and she will have more time to develop her power.

"If His Majesty is determined to establish a crown prince, I hope it will be the eighth prince." Bai Xianyu said bluntly, calmly, but she had the confidence to say this.

After contemplating for a long time, Xu Wanru nodded slowly, with a bit of firmness in her eyes, "I will do what you say."

Bai Xianyu propped his chin, raised his eyelids halfway and said, "Do you know why His Majesty only favors Concubine An?"

"Why?"

"Because Concubine An can let go."

Xu Wanru blushed, why did Bai Xianyu speak so directly as a girl.

This is what Bai Xianyu is most worried about. Xu Wanru looks very elegant, but she is also as shy as a girl in a boudoir. The more elegant, the harder it is to invite favor.

It would be great if Emperor Wuxuan liked this kind of beauties, but Xu Changzai looks good, but after giving birth to the eighth prince, he is still just Changzai, so it can be seen that he doesn't like this kind of beauty.

"You should have seen a lot of Concubine An's ways of being coquettish and obedient. Your Majesty is very ambitious, and I like this kind of things the most."

Xu Wanru listened, "Don't worry, girl, I will not let you down."

"Ah."

……

In Chengqian Palace, a group of people were kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Emperor Wuxuan frowned and looked at the memorial, "The dyke of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. The dam was built last year, but it was destroyed when the water rose this year. A bunch of drunks and rice bags!"

"Your Majesty, calm down, this year's natural disasters in the south of the Yangtze River, there is no one to blame!"

"You're saying I'm wrong!"

"I dare not!"

"..."

Xie Xingyun stood outside the hall, dressed in court clothes, clearly the same attire as everyone else inside, but he was particularly high-spirited.

"Get out of here!"

"Yun'er, come here!"

Xie Xingyun ran in the opposite direction from the few people who were fleeing in a hurry, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, "Your Majesty."

"Come and find out what's wrong with this! If you find anything, tell me immediately!"

Xie Xingyun remained expressionless, "Minister, take the order."

*
Bai Xianyu left the capital in a carriage, disguised as a man.

When they got there, Lu Zhu covered her mouth in surprise, "Miss, look."

Bai Xianyu looked at her helplessly, "You're still called Miss?"

"My lord!" Lu Zhu quickly changed her words.

I saw a lot of people working on the fields that had been reclaimed, and everyone was sweating profusely. From a rough look, there were at least a hundred people.

Bai Xianyu observed for a while, then walked inside the farm.

An old man with a white beard came out with a wine gourd hanging from his side, "Master, you are here."

"Well, how many people are there?"

The old man smiled and replied: "No more, no less, exactly 120 people, all good seedlings carefully selected by the old man."

Bai Xianyu nodded, "There are 120 people, and we can only accommodate up to 500 people here."

"Yes son."

Maybe it's time for a change.

There are so many around Kyoto, no matter how many, it is easy to be noticed.

It's just where to go... It's best to be able to quickly support in times of danger.

But there is no rush, there are still more than [-] vacancies, and we can plan slowly.

Bai Xianyu left them a lot of silver bills, casting swords and knives and a series of expenses are not small sums, and the expenses will only increase in the future.

At the same time, Chengqian Palace was eerily silent.

Emperor Wuxuan frowned, and threw the memorial at the visitor's lap, "The governor of Liangzhou committed suicide. Such important news has only now arrived. What's the use of raising you!"

"Emperor calm down!"

Among the courtiers, there were two outstanding figures standing on the left and the right. The man on the left had unfathomable eyes and his chin rested lightly on his fingers.

The man on the right is younger, but the gaze that he casts occasionally seems to be able to freeze people into slag, carrying a kind of coercion of someone who has been in a position for a long time.

"A bunch of trash! A bunch of worthless!"

"Jing Yuan, the governor of Liangzhou committed suicide, what do you think?"

The man on the left bowed, "I think it may have something to do with the dam breaking."

Emperor Wuxuan's face turned better, "I still have people who can use me, you all get out of here! Xing Yun and Jing Yuan stay!"

"Yes, the minister will retire!"

Everyone left in a hurry, all terrified.

"Jing Yuan, tell me in detail."

Bai Jingyuan said: "It's better to let the young master tell what he understands first."

"The Liangzhou Canal was built 13 years ago with an allocation of 30 taels, and then successively allocated a total of 60 taels in June of the sixth year of Qianyuan and August of the tenth year of Qianyuan. I borrowed money from the Juzhou Official Money Bureau on the grounds of building dams, and as of April 16th, I owed a total of 10 taels."

Xie Xingyun was accurate to every month, and his tone was flat.

Bai Jingyuan took his words, "Whether to commit suicide remains to be discussed."

The deep meaning of his words is that maybe he didn't die by suicide, but 100 million taels of snowflake silver is so vulnerable.

He even took the life of an imperial court official!
Emperor Wu Xuan frowned and squinted, "Bai Jingyuan accepts the order!"

"The minister is here."

"I order you to be the imperial envoy, and I will set off for Liangzhou in the future. You must investigate this matter!" He paused and looked at the young man, "Xing Yun is your deputy. I can help you when necessary."

"Sir, lead the order."

Xie Xingyun said calmly: "Observe the order."

Bai Jingyuan knew that Emperor Wu Xuan wanted him to take Xie Xingyun to train more, but...

He got up and glanced at Xie Xingyun lightly. He looked more unpredictable than many experienced senior officials.

I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for Xiao Yu'er to be liked by him.

……

Back at the mansion, the guard sent a letter to Bai Xianyu.

She tore it open and saw that it was from her aunt!
Her aunt's family also has sisters and brothers, but aunt died young, and Jiangnan is quite far away, so there has been no contact.

To the effect that it's been a long time since my grandmother and aunt wanted to see her, so when can I go back to Liangzhou.

Bai Xianyu's eyes lit up, the waterway in Liangzhou is very lucky, if transporting people is fast, it doesn't have to take a few months, if it is fast, half a month is enough.

After all, the vicinity of Kyoto is at the foot of the emperor. If it is in other places, the emperor is far away, and she can raise as many dead soldiers as she wants.

In times of crisis, there is also a place of refuge.

Bai Xianyu was lost in thought, a hand appeared out of thin air, and rubbed her hair, "You didn't respond to calling you a few times, what is my sister thinking?"

She turned her head and smiled, "Second brother."

Bai Mohuai smiled, "You're so happy that something good happened?"

"Uh-huh."

"What's a good thing, let's hear it?"
