Prince, the princess calls you to dream

Chapter 220 Killing three birds with one stone

In Longyin Palace, Emperor Wen was about to go to bed after taking a bath. When he heard that Bai Jiuxiao was coming, he asked him to hurry up and dismissed all the palace people.

Bai Jiuxiao entered the inner hall, finished the ceremony, saw that Emperor Wen was only wearing pajamas, and frowned: "Why does the emperor wear so little?"

Immediately, he took the thick cloak from the hanger beside him and stepped forward to put it on him.

The young emperor had grown into a man, tall and straight, much taller than Bai Jiuxiao, so Bai Jiuxiao had to step on his feet.

Emperor Wen smiled and leaned down to cooperate with her.

The faces of the two were very close, it seemed that if he lowered his head, he could kiss her.

Watching her thick and slender eyelashes flicker, Emperor Wen felt as if they brushed through his heart.

With a movement in his throat, he immediately collected his thoughts: "Sister Huang came so late, must there be something important?"

"Well," Bai Jiuxiao helped him tie the cloak strap, "I heard that you plan to marry Bai Shixiang to Prince Qingli in exchange for their black iron forging skills?"

"Sister Huang also knows? Does Miss Huang think this method is good?" Emperor Wen asked.

Bai Jiuxiao sighed softly, walked to the side of the soft chair and sat down: "It's good, it's just that Bai Shixiang is too wronged."

"That can't be helped. Didn't the imperial sister always talk about their black iron technique when she was in charge? With this technique, Dazhao's army will be invincible, and the people of Dazhao will be relieved of a lot of hardship. It's rare for their crown prince to let go I am willing to exchange this, so I quickly agreed. The reason why Miss Huang came here late at night is to stop this matter, right?"

"Of course not. I just came to discuss with the emperor. If you don't marry Bai Shixiang, marry me." Bai Jiuxiao said.

Emperor Wen was astonished.

Suspecting that she had heard it wrong: "What did Miss Huang say? Who will she marry?"

"Marry me. Anyway, the other party only asks to marry the princess. I am also a princess. Da Zhao is unmarried and suitable for marriage. It's just me and Bai Shixiang. Just marry me. I am willing."

"But I don't want to!" Emperor Wen sternly said with an ugly face.

Bai Jiuxiao was startled, not quite understanding why he had such a big reaction.

"The emperor has already been in charge of the government and has done a good job. I don't need my help at all. I just live idle now. The emperor will let me do something meaningful."

"No!" Emperor Wen flatly refused, with a domineering tone that did not allow anyone to comment.

Bai Jiuxiao looked at him.

The word Tianwei came to mind.

Her younger brother has grown up completely, and at this moment, he is the emperor.

But she will not give up easily: "I know the emperor is reluctant to part with me."

"You don't know!" Emperor Wen interrupted her.

Seeing him being so decisive, or rather determined, Bai Jiuxiao didn't know what to say.

For a while, neither of them made a sound.

Emperor Wen was obviously sulking, and Bai Jiuxiao looked at him.

In fact, she didn't quite understand why he was so angry, and it was obviously the kind of sulking and unwilling to talk about it.

After a long time, seeing Emperor Wen's breath calm down, Bai Jiuxiao opened his mouth again.

"I'm different from Bai Shixiang. When she marries, she marries for real, but I"

"Is your marriage a fake marriage?" Emperor Wen interrupted her words in a muffled voice and asked back.

Bai Jiuxiao bent his lips: "It's not impossible."

Emperor Wen was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

"It means that I am Bai Jiuxiao, Wen, I am not afraid of anyone, Wu, I have never been afraid of anyone, ordinary people can't touch me, I can negotiate terms and make deals with Prince Qingli, I have experience in governing the country, I should be able to I have helped him a lot, and I am not alone in curing diseases and saving lives, maybe it will come in handy."

"Whether it is Bai Shixiang or me, he has never met, and there is no relationship or liking at all. Therefore, as long as it can benefit him, it can solve some difficult, headache, or urgent problems for him. problem, he will need it more."

Bai Jiuxiao looked confident and spoke firmly.

Emperor Wen looked at her, and felt that the Ninth Prince who was the regent had returned, and inexplicably believed that she could really do it.

"It's just that, even if the emperor can get away innocently and return to the court in the future, the reputation of the emperor will still be ruined. After all, she is married. Everyone knows that you once married Prince Qingli. Then, when you return to the court, you will definitely be ashamed." He will be criticized by others, whether he will be divorced, reconciled, or sent away, or what.”

So, it's still wrong.

Or not!

Bai Jiuxiao chuckled: "What is reputation? I didn't care about it before, will I care about it in the future? Besides, I never thought about remarrying. If my reputation is bad, it will be bad."

"Why don't you want to remarry?" Emperor Wen's eyes moved slightly.

Bai Jiuxiao bent his lips.

Because she can't marry the person she wants to marry.

"Because I just want to stay by the emperor's side, to be the emperor's eternal sister, to be the honorable nine princesses of the great Zhao, isn't the emperor willing?"

"Of course I am willing!" Emperor Wen said tightly.

He couldn't ask for it.

In fact, these days, he has been worrying about a problem.

He has the truth in his heart, and he also has an extravagant hope, and he doesn't know if he can tell it or mention it.

He was afraid that if he said it, it would break the current peace, he was afraid that if he said it, it would cause an uproar, and he was afraid that if he said it, she would not be able to accept it.

He was afraid that if he said it, it would backfire and she would leave.

Therefore, he has been holding back and not speaking.

But how bitter and uncomfortable it is, only he knows.

If, as she said, she could be the ninth princess forever and stay by his side forever, that would be great.

Seeing that Emperor Wen remained silent, Bai Jiuxiao thought he was still hesitating, and persuaded him: "Actually, when I get the art of black iron and return to the court, my reputation will not be too bad. Let everyone know that I will marry Prince Qingli. Just for this technique, I sacrifice myself for the sake of the country and the people, I believe anyone with a little bit of conscience will not be slandered."

This is true.

Emperor Wen didn't make a sound.

There was another moment of silence.

"Let me think about it again and reply to Miss Huang tomorrow."

"Okay." Bai Jiuxiao got up.

She knew the brother, she knew, she had convinced him.

*
After leaving Longyin Palace, Bai Jiuxiao walked on the long palace road alone, the night was dark, and a gust of wind blew, she gathered her cloak.

Looking up at the sky, there is not a single star, and the moonlight is very whirling and hazy.

If she had never married, with Ning Shiqian's paranoid personality, she might have never married.

In short, the dream must be broken.

So, she took the initiative to marry.

This time the opportunity is just right.

It can not only help Da Zhao learn the black iron forging technique, but also help Bai Shixiang solve his urgent needs.

If he knew that she was married, Ning Shiqian would no longer be persistent and foolish.

Kill three birds with one stone, very good.

*
The palace people of Sanglin Palace got busy again.

Just finished the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and then arranged for the new emperor's wedding.

Yuan Bao entered the inner hall with a tray in his hand, and inside the tray was a set of neatly folded scarlet robes embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons.

"Your Majesty, the Bureau of Shangyi has sent you the wedding dress. Please try it on to see if it fits well, and whether there is anything that needs to be modified."
