White Fence Dream

Chapter 182 Listening
Seeing him come back, Bai Li greeted him and went into the house.

When Shen Qing came in, he saw that she was already sitting on the cushion, with wine, food and delicious food already placed on the table in front of her.

It was obvious that even if he didn't come back, she would casually assign people here to serve her.

She really doesn't consider herself an outsider.

"The food here is OK, but the desserts are not so good." Bai Li said, pointing to a plate of cakes, "Change the cook."

What good food has a girl from the countryside ever eaten? Shen Qing sneered. She had just spent a few good days in the Dongyang Marquis' Mansion, and she was still picky.

I don't know where she is hiding now.

Shen Qing did not ask anyone to follow and check on them, because he knew that it would be too easy for people like them to get rid of being followed.

"Miss Bai, are you here to eat?" he said coldly, "You've come to the wrong place. Sanqufang is not a place to eat."

Bai Li smiled and said, "Listening to music to entertain yourself can also make better food, which can attract more customers and make more money." At this point, he became curious, "You may not make money from this, so how do you make money? Did Queen Jiang leave you a lot of money?"

Shen Qing was so angry that he laughed. He already knew that this woman was vicious and crazy, but this madness was too much.

"Miss Bai, why do you need to ask me? You can just ask the queen yourself." He said with a half-smile, "The queen has not only hidden a lot of money, but also many more good things."

Go ask the Empress, and let her wake her up herself.

Bai Li didn't care about his ill intentions and said with a half-smile, "It's better to ask a living person. If you have no money, a living person can find a solution."

The Queen is not dead, the Queen is still alive, the Queen was killed by her. Shen Qing's heart was filled with anger, he clenched his hands, looked at her coldly without saying a word.

"I'm here to tell you something." Bai Li didn't care about his hostility. She picked up a piece of cake and put it in her mouth with a smile, "I've thought of a way to let Jiang Mian'er become the queen again."

"What did you say?" Shen Qing almost thought he had misheard.

What crazy stuff is she talking about!
Bai Li looked at him in surprise: "Have you never thought about what to do after Jiang Mian'er comes back to life in my body? The wife of the Duke of Dongyang is just a woman in the inner house. She cannot go to the imperial city, and if she goes there, she will kowtow to others."

Here he lengthened his tone again.

"Oh, you guys don't intend to instigate the Marquis of Dongyang to rebel, do you?"

What nonsense! Shen Qing's face turned pale. Of course they had thought about what would happen after Queen Jiang woke up. It was impossible for her to always be the young lady of Marquis Dongyang, and it was even more impossible for Marquis Dongyang to rebel.

Their arrangement was indeed to let Jiang Mian'er enter the palace.

When he was admiring the plum blossoms in Xishan before, he had specially rushed over just to let Princess Jinyu meet Zhou Jingyun and his wife, and then he would make Zhuang Li leave an impression in Princess Jinyu's eyes as a beauty.

After the empress woke up, she was presented to the emperor as a beauty through Princess Jin Yu, who was obsessed with power.

Everything will return to its original state and start over. This time, they will make sure everything goes smoothly for the Empress and she won't make the same mistake again.

Unfortunately, Zhuang Li realized it too quickly, and Zhou Jingyun was eager to protect his wife and firmly refused to see Princess Jin Yu, so the plan failed.

But what's going on with this Bai Li?

Why is she considering this too?

Is she really willing to give her body to the Empress?

This woman, really... I have no idea what she is thinking.

Shen Qing looked at her: "Don't worry about what we think. When the time comes, it will have nothing to do with you."

"How can I not worry? This is my body after all." Bai Li frowned and said, "You can't say it has nothing to do with me. You took my body away. If you fail, then the promise you made to me will also be gone. I will suffer a huge loss."

Shen Qing didn't believe her words, looked at her and asked directly: "What do you want?"

Bai Li looked at him and said, "You know about Zhang Ze's investigation into the Yang family's connection with Empress Jiang, right?"

Shen Qing naturally knew everything that happened in the court, and even knew more. When he heard Bai Li say this, he thought of something and laughed, "You are not trying to pick Zhou Jingyun out, are you? Yes, this matter was all caused by you. In order to deal with me, you deliberately went to see your sister. In order to help you, Zhou Jingyun was captured by Zhang Ze and Bai Ying. Hahaha, this time they are determined to get rid of the queen, and Zhou Jingyun is the vanguard."

As he said this, he looked at Bai Li with a smile on his face.

"Prince Changyang is a fool and suspicious. As long as he is involved with Queen Jiang, he doesn't care whether it is true or false. The Yang family is finished, and Zhou Jingyun can't escape. From now on, he will no longer be an immortal who is detached from the mundane world, but a mortal who can take people's lives. No, if it goes on for a while, he will become a wicked official like Zhang Ze."

Shen Qing simply clapped his hands and laughed.

"Zhou Jingyun, you have come to this day!"

After saying that, he pointed at Bai Li again.

"This is all because of you. You, woman, are really causing a lot of harm to others."

He laughed and clapped his hands. Bai Li listened quietly, neither happy nor angry, and did not react. She even took a sip of tea. When the finger pointed at herself, she frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it you who caused all this? Shen Qing, I only know that I am a victim. Even if others are trapped because of me, it will not make me feel guilty, but will only make me hate you more."

She looked at Shen Qing with a puzzled look.

"Are you really a trusted minister of Queen Jiang? It seems that you are not very smart in your conduct."

This little girl is really good at humiliating people! Shen Qing glared at her.

"You should be more calm at your age." Bai Li added, and before Shen Qing could get angry, he put down the teacup heavily, "I didn't ask you to pick someone, what's the point of picking? Isn't it just a bad reputation? This is not a bad thing. He will be in the court in the future, and others will be afraid of him. It's better than treating him as an immortal, innocent and easy to bully. As for the Yang family, the emperor and the queen are one family, and they are all enemies of Queen Jiang. It's a good thing for us if they kill each other."

Yes, it was indeed a good thing for them that something happened to the Yang family, but it felt weird to hear her say that. Shen Qing looked at the woman in front of him and felt that she really treated him as one of her own?

"Well, what do you want to..." he asked hesitantly.

Bai Li looked at him and said, "The Yang family is not important. The Du family is important. They were the ones who framed the late crown prince. You are all aware of this, right?"

Shen Qing was shocked: "How did you know?"

Zhou Jingyun would never know such a confidential matter. How did this girl from the countryside who had been in the capital for less than a year know it?
Bai Li said calmly, "Just think of it as your queen telling me." Then he continued, "But this matter was framed on Queen Jiang. Everyone said that Queen Jiang framed the prince."

The Queen told her? Shen Qing's first reaction was to rebuke her for talking nonsense, but he swallowed the words back. Looking at the slightly numb face of the girl in front of him, it was not impossible...

She had once created a dream for her before, and she had experienced the empress's dream. Later, she took the initiative to wake the empress up.

No one knows better than him how to awaken. That is to tell yourself that you are the Queen of Jiang, not by the influence of outsiders, but from the depths of your own heart...
The moment she becomes the Empress, she will surely know a lot of things that the Empress knows.

"That's right." Shen Qing's voice was a little slow. "The Crown Prince's bad reputation has nothing to do with the Queen. It was the princes and ministers who slandered each other and framed the Queen."

Bai Li asked: "Have you collected the evidence?"

Shen Qing said with a bit of arrogance: "Of course, those little tricks can't be hidden from me, but the queen doesn't need it. The queen is happy to see it happen. The bad reputation makes it easier for her to intimidate the court officials."

Bai Li nodded: "When she was alive, her notoriety was indeed a deterrent, but now that she is gone, it is better to let the world know the truth." After the woman came in, she talked about this and that, and he was really confused.

"Why? What's the point?" He frowned and asked, looking at Bai Li, "For the reputation of the queen after she wakes up?"

No need.

By then, the Queen will no longer need the name Jiang Mian'er. With her new body, she will have a new reputation.

"It means nothing to her," Bai Li said, "but it means something to the officials who still remember her."

Officials who still have memories of her? Shen Qing was stunned again.

"I heard from the prince that many officials benefited from the policies of Queen Jiang." Bai Li said softly, "For example, officials like Lin Zhushi were selected to serve in the government."

Shen Qing suddenly remembered that incident and sneered again.

"Your Majesty has done more than just these. The previous emperor was indifferent and neglected the affairs of state. It was Your Majesty who picked up the pieces and straightened out the existing ones. The unreasonable improvements have benefited countless people. But these bastards only saw Your Majesty's status as a woman and interfered in state affairs, killing the rich and powerful, the royal family and relatives. They are ungrateful and followed the example of the hen crowing at dawn, turning the world upside down. They don't even think about the fact that without Your Majesty, how could they have the opportunity to stand in the court and make a speech!"

Bai Li hummed twice: "It's nothing, it's normal, everyone is afraid of things they are not familiar with."

For example, isn't it the same for her? Because she is different, she becomes a monster and is hated by everyone.

Having said this, he sighed softly and stopped his wandering thoughts in time.

"So, it's time to let everyone know that the queen is innocent." She looked at Shen Qing and said seriously, "In this way, those officials who have benefited from it can and dare to recall the queen's merits and virtues, and wait for the future..."

She pointed at herself.

"When she returns, everyone will think of the past and will not be so resistant to the appearance of a woman in the court again."

Shen Qing was thoughtful. Is that so...

Bai Li looked at him and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "In addition to plotting against a little girl like me who has no parents, you should also do something big, right?"

These words were quite sarcastic, but Shen Qing was not angry. Instead, he felt relieved.

That's the right tone.

This Miss Bai still hates them, so it is reasonable for her to speak in a sarcastic tone. Otherwise, she really thinks she is one of her own and is seriously considering them. This is too unbelievable.

Shen Qing suddenly thought of something: "You just said that you thought of a way to let the queen become the queen again, what is it?"

This was what I was talking about at the beginning, but I forgot about it because the woman kept talking about other things.

Bai Li smiled and said, "We'll talk about this later. Let me see how capable you are first. If you can't do this well, then there's no need to talk about it. Let's just break up as soon as possible." He ate another piece of dessert and stood up, "You should really change the cook."

After saying that, he knelt down and bowed, then walked out.

Shen Qing frowned and stood still. Facing this person, he didn't know whether to be polite or rude.

As for this Miss Bai, although her manners and words were rude, she would still bow gracefully when moving forward or backward. Although she had stripped away the dreams he had woven and the years of education that Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang had given her, after all, traces had been left, and she had not really turned into the wild girl in the mountains and forests of Shuofang.

If you want to say that...

The fact that a wild girl could become so sensitive might really be because of the Empress.

She couldn't really strip the empress.

Shen Qing couldn't help but look at the bamboo cage in the cabinet. The wooden carved butterfly in the cage was motionless.

The door of the house opened and Mrs. Huang came in and asked, "What is she here for this time?"

"Let us participate in the Du and Yang cases." Shen Qing said.

Mrs. Huang snorted, thinking that she really wanted them to obey her orders.

"Are you listening?" she asked. "This is no small matter. It is very likely to expose our people in the court."

Shen Qing said without even turning his head: "She must have her own selfish motives, but if she wishes, it won't be bad for us." Then he waved to Huang Niangzi, "Come and see, are the butterflies more colorful?"

Mrs. Huang walked forward and looked at the wooden carved butterfly in the bamboo cage, looking somewhat helpless.

What is in one's heart can only be seen by oneself.

Originally, Shen Qing’s playing the piano allowed her to see what he saw, but now that Shen Qing can’t play the piano, she can only see what she can see.

At this moment, she could not see any changes in the wooden butterfly. Just like a musical string, it looked fine in her eyes, but Shen Qing saw that it was broken.

But seeing Shen Qing's excitement, she couldn't bear to say no, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, it is indeed different from before."

.......
.......
When the dusk faded, a bright color appeared in Shangguan Yue's sight.

She was wearing the apricot-yellow dress he had prepared for her. In the night when the lights were not yet turned on, she was like a bright lantern.

She seemed to appear suddenly.

But no matter how it appears, it’s good as long as it appears.

"Here." Shangguan Yue smiled and raised her hand and waved. The woman in her sight also waved her hand and walked onto the ship in two or three steps, holding her skirt.

Jixiang, who was standing on the ship, also breathed a sigh of relief. Well, he came back in time, and the young master didn't have to greet guests with a gloomy face.

"Where did you go?" Shangguan Yue asked, and then quickly said, "I just asked casually. If it's not convenient to say, don't say it."

Bai Li stretched out his fingers and made a piano-playing gesture, and said with a smile, "I'm going to play the piano with someone."

Playing the piano? Really? Shangguan Yue looked at her. Regardless of whether it was real or not, her happiness was genuine.

"I used to listen to other people playing the piano," Bai Li said. "Now it's my turn to play the piano for others."

"Then you must play very well." Shangguan Yue looked at her with bright eyes, "I want to listen too."

Bai Li smiled and said, "Okay, I can play as well as you think I can."

Shangguan Yue laughed: "Then won't my wish come true?"

Bai Li looked at his bright smile, smiled too, and nodded: "Of course, I told you, I will make your wishes come true and your dreams come true."

She leaned against the railing and looked at the city which was gradually shrouded in darkness and then gradually lit up with bright lights.

Just as blessing and misfortune are interdependent, in this world, some people’s dreams come true, while others’ dreams are shattered.
