The uninhibited concubine who loves his wife

Chapter 11 Being Locked Out

"The minister obeys the order!"

A few days later, also in the imperial study, the academician Bai Hanqing was announced to the palace for an audience.

"Bai Qing, I heard that there is a daughter-in-law in your family, who is in her late thirties, is extremely beautiful and talented, is it true?"

Bai Han nodded lightly, bowed and replied modestly: "Your Majesty, the little girl is clumsy, those are just absurd compliments from outsiders on the little girl."

Xia Gao raised his eyebrows: "So you really have a pair of ten daughters who have not yet left the court?"

Bai Hanqing nodded again: "Yes!"

There was a hint of joy in Xia Gao's eyes, but his face was still serious: "Then if I give your daughter a marriage, will you agree?"

Bai Han asked cautiously with a little nervousness: "The Emperor Long En is the blessing of the Weichen family... Forgive me for asking boldly, I wonder which family the Emperor chose for the little girl?"

Seeing this, Xia Gao stopped making detours.Since it was confirmed that there was such a concubine daughter in the White House, and that Prince Cheng was interested in it, the marriage was naturally settled in his heart.So Chao Bai Han said bluntly: "Xuan intends to betroth your daughter-in-law of the Bai family to Cheng Wang as his wife, I wonder what Bai Qing wants?"

Hearing this, Bai Hanqing was not only relieved, but even overjoyed.This is exactly the kind of marriage that he couldn't even ask for. Now that the emperor personally proposed it, how could he not agree? !

Kneeling on the ground, Bai Han lightly kowtowed to Xia Gao, and thanked happily: "I thank Lord Long En on behalf of my daughter! Long live the emperor!"

After Bai Han left lightly, Xia Gao asked the palace servants to grind, and was just picking up his pen, when he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to ask the name of the woman from the Bai family——

Putting down the ink pen, he reopened Cheng Wang's memorial, looked at the name written in the memorial and nodded.

Bai Xinran...

Chengwang Mansion

When the Qiu family learned that Yan Moyu personally asked the emperor for a marriage, and that the other party was the concubine daughter of the Bai family, she was finally satisfied.Quickly summon all the stewards in the mansion to prepare for the dowry.

And in the White Mansion, Bai Han lightly went back and told about the Emperor's plan to bestow a marriage on his daughter, Bai Xinbi, and everyone in the White Mansion was overjoyed.The happiest thing is Bai Xinbi.

Born in a scholar's mansion, she was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, so she naturally developed a disposition with high regard for everything.Ordinary children of officials and eunuchs can hardly catch her eyes, either because they think their family power is weak, or they despise each other's appearance.

Apart from a few adult princes and princes, the people she is optimistic about are Prince Cheng.It's a pity that several princes and princes all had their own wives early. She was unwilling to be a concubine, and finally put all her hopes on Cheng Wang.Everyone knows that there are only a few concubines in Prince Cheng's mansion but no concubine, and that Prince Cheng not only gains power in the court, he is favored by the emperor almost over all the princes and princes.

Who wouldn't like such a handsome and powerful man?

But after inquiring, I learned that almost all of King Cheng's backyard is his mother Qiu's decision-making, so Bai Xinbi asked the stepmother of the White Mansion and her stepmother, Zhang, to lobby Qiu. He fell in love with her and agreed to marry the two families.

After meeting King Cheng at close range that day, Bai Xinbi was a little fascinated.That day Cheng Wang's attitude made her feel overwhelmed and extremely uneasy. She didn't expect her father to bring back such news in just a few days.

Moreover, the emperor personally officiated the marriage and acted as a matchmaker. Not everyone has such an honor!
From now on, I don't know how many women are envious and jealous of her!
Thinking of this, Bai Xinbi couldn't hide the happiness in her heart, and couldn't help asking her father Bai Hanqing for the third time: "Father, when did the emperor make the decree?"

Bai Han lightly rejoiced in his heart, and replied tirelessly: "Wait a little longer. Prince Cheng has important matters to attend to, listen to the emperor's tone, and he will only issue orders after Prince Cheng has dealt with the important matters in hand." After a pause, he looked angrily and amusedly at his daughter, who was as beautiful as a flower and a moon, and pretended to reprimand, "You are a big girl who is always chasing this matter, and you are not afraid of being laughed at? The emperor is open." Chrysostom is gone, can it still be fake? Just go back to your room and get married!"

Bai Xinbi blushed when she was told, but she refused to accept it: "Father, I think you just despise your daughter and wish her to marry sooner, right?"

Bai Han gave her a light look.

On the contrary, Mrs. Zhang, the stepmother sitting in the lower position, smiled and spoke.

"Master, this is a great happy event for our White Mansion, so please make Bi'er happy."

Instead of making Bai Xinbi grateful for Zhang's help, she gave her a cold look in the dark.

Bai Han looked at Zhang Shi lightly, and also pretended to reprimand: "You still speak for her, look at her self-satisfaction, it doesn't look like something only for a girl in a boudoir, but you just spoiled her blindly."

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

Bai Xinbi's eyes swept over the faces of the two of them, she snorted secretly, and then said to Bai Han nonchalantly: "Father, that daughter has returned to her room."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without saying hello to Mrs. Zhang.

"Oh!" Bai Han shook his head lightly, and suddenly reached out to hold Zhang's hand, and said apologetically, "That child has such a temper, and I have really wronged you all these years."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head bitterly.As a stepmother, either she overpowered her stepdaughter, or her stepdaughter overpowered her.She wanted to be the former, but it's a pity that there is a Gao Tang in the backyard who protects the only granddaughter everywhere, making her helpless.

Who told her to enter the mansion again!
"Okay, Bi'er can finally get married, and no one will fight against you in the future. The whole White House depends on you to take care of it all these years. In the future, you can enjoy your life well. My husband will love you and you even more. Haoer's." Bai Hanqing also knew her suffering, so he couldn't help comforting her in a warm voice.

Only then did Zhang's expression ease.Fortunately, she lived up to her expectations and gave birth to a son for the Bai Mansion, so that she could keep her current status.For the sake of her son Bai Jianhao, the mother-in-law did not make things difficult for her other than defending her granddaughter.

Maoshan Village

An astonishing piece of news broke the quietness of Maoshan Village for many years. More than a dozen villagers in the village gathered at the village head's house, only to hear the village head's family crying.

Bai Xinran was dragged to the village head's house by an old lady.

When I arrived at the village chief's house, I learned that the village chief committed suicide by taking poison last night!

As usual, she just stared at the coffin in the yard in a daze, and looked at the wife of the village head who was lying on the ground crying heartbreakingly, and gradually, her eyes became moist.

Listening to the villagers discussing the cause of the village chief's death, all kinds of speculations were heard, but Bai Xinran dared not say anything.

These days, she has already noticed that someone from outside has come to Maoshan Village, but they are hiding it very deeply.

When she thought about what she overheard under the window of the village chief's house that night, she had mixed feelings in her heart.

Presumably the village chief knew that what he had done had been exposed, so he committed suicide by taking poison...
