Glory all the way

Chapter 183
March [-]th is the whole month of Bai Yingyun's marriage. According to the customs of the Song Dynasty, on this day, the newlywed mother will bring her husband and son-in-law back to her natal home for dinner, and the married sisters will also bring their husbands It is only when the son-in-law comes back, which is a bit more lively than returning home during the Three Dynasties.

When Bai Yingluo rushed to the banquet hall of Mingya Garden, all the people except old master Bai and old lady Bai had already arrived.

Looking at Bai Yingluo, who was a little lighter than Jiji that day, Bai Yingyun felt indescribably comfortable.

"Sixth sister, come and sit next to me."

He beckoned to Bai Yingluo affectionately, and asked the servant girl to help her to sit down. Bai Yingyun took her arm and said, "When we were at home, everyone felt that we were not getting along, even my own size felt the same way. , but I can't see you for a long time, but I miss you the most."

Next to her, the second young lady, Bai Ying, covered her handkerchief with a smile and said, "Let me tell you, you are a pair of enemies and sisters. You don't like each other when you are together, but when you are separated, you feel that you are better for each other."

Looking up at Bai Yingqiao and Bai Yingyun's schadenfreude, and the worry in Bai Yingping's eyes, Bai Yingluo's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Have you ever thought that you will have such a miserable day?
But who can be blamed?
Grandfather and grandmother are all for themselves, and Du Xuan hopes to make him marry well. Who would have expected such a change?
Everything is fate after all, right?

Bai Yingluo remembered things from her previous life.

At that time, Luo Niang and Du Xuan simply thought that life would go on like this, until they were too old to walk, even if they were sitting in the small courtyard to enjoy the cool, they still only had each other in their eyes. That's all.

However, halfway through, the princess who took a fancy to Du Xuan came out.

Luo Niang has seen her once, she is so beautiful, any man in the world who gets her favor will sigh the pity of fate, right?But why is that person her Xuan Lang?

She and Xuan Lang only have each other.

With endless unwillingness and hatred, Luoniang died in despair, but the princess's all-powerful face became Bai Yingluo's nightmare when she was young.

How many times, seeing that face in a dream, she would scream at the top of her lungs until she woke up from the dream.

For Bai Yingluo, those years were unbearable.

Now, is Xuan Lang, who I have been thinking about, going to be her rightful son-in-law?

Bai Yingluo was not reconciled, but she found sadly that there was nothing she could do in the current situation.

She didn't even dare to show her sadness and helplessness on her face, for fear that her grandparents would see her sadness, or that others would gloat at others' misfortune, causing ugly gossip and embarrassing the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Just like at this moment, Bai Yingluo knew in her heart that it was because she was not good that Bai Yingqiao and Bai Yingyun showed such hypocritical intimacy.

With a smile, she generously met Bai Yingyun's malicious gaze, Bai Yingluo smiled and said, "Now that the fifth elder sister has a husband's family, my younger sister wants to be intimate with her, but I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. Kong often come back to the Marquis Mansion, we sisters can play together again?"

Bai Yingyun was stunned, not knowing how to answer Bai Yingluo's words, so she took advantage of her maid's skills to serve Bai Yingluo a bowl of soup, and changed the subject.

If a married lady returns to her natal home often, she will inevitably be suspected by outsiders, thinking that she was not favored in her in-laws' home, so she goes back to her natal home to complain, and when the time comes to spread the word, neither side will be happy.

Or else, only by reconciling or being divorced can he return to his mother's house for a long time.

But no matter which one, it's not a good thing, and I can't blame Bai Yingyun for not being able to speak up.

When Bai Yingqiao was not married, Bai Yingluo was still young, and she and Bai Yingyun often bullied Bai Yingluo together. Seeing that her sister had suffered a lot and did not dare to retaliate, Bai Yingqiao gave Bai Yingyun an angry look. She put on a smile and asked Bai Yingluo: "Sixth sister, Mr. Du is already in high school, I don't know about your marriage with him, can you set a date?"

Feeling pain in her heart, before Bai Yingluo could answer, Bai Yingping scolded in a sharp voice: "Second sister, do you ever ask questions like this? How has sixth sister ever had a relationship with Du Xuan? If you care about sixth sister's marriage, you can go to Ask grandparents, no matter how bad it is, my parents will make decisions for her, you ask her a little girl, is this the rule of your Hefu?"

It was just a whisper between sisters, but when Bai Yingping said this, she rose to the level of Miss Jing'an Hou's Mansion and Young Mistress He's Mansion. But I misunderstood. Sixth sister, it's all the second sister's fault, don't take it to heart."

Bai Yingluo shook her head, and began to eat and use silently.

Although the elder sister Bai Yingping's words were full of protection, they pierced into Bai Yingluo's heart like a knife.

Knowing that the royal family intends to make Du Xuan the princess, everything between her and Du Xuan in the past will be erased. Now, in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, she and Du Xuan have become strangers who have nothing to do with each other.

Stranger, what a cold word.

Thinking sadly, Bai Yingluo only felt a layer of warmth in her eyes, and she didn't dare to show it in front of everyone. Bai Yingluo opened her eyes wide and forcefully forced back the tears.

Du Xuan did not attend today's banquet in Jing'an Hou Mansion.

In the past, he would be invited to all the banquets in the mansion, not because of his unspecified relationship with Bai Yingluo, but also because of his status as the favorite student of Old Master Bai, no matter how bad he was, he had a good relationship with Bai Jinyuan, She shares this relationship with her classmates Bai Jinju and Bai Jinxiao.

In short, before high school, Du Xuan was in Jing'an Hou Mansion, no one regarded him as an outsider.

And early this morning, he was ordered to enter the palace again.

In the side hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Jiayuan focused on looking at the fold in his hand, while Du Xuan was kneeling in a daze a few steps in front of the imperial case, and there was no one else in the hall.

After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Jiayuan put down the memorial in his hand, looked up at Du Xuan and asked in a cold voice: "Have you thought it through?"

He leaned over and kowtowed, and Du Xuan raised his voice and said: "Students dare not lie a single word. The student has a long-standing marriage contract with the sixth lady of Jing'an Hou Mansion. It is the student who is stubborn and insists on waiting for the title of the gold list before getting married. Old Mrs. Bai can't hold back the student." Only then should I accept it. But the students have already made up their minds about Miss Six, and there is no way to change it. I ask the Holy Majesty to rule, and the students will never dare to deceive the king."

There was a ripple in his eyes, which was fleeting, and Emperor Jiayuan asked coldly: "In this case, it means that the marriage contract has not yet been made, and you are not regretting the marriage. Now, I intend to recruit you as a son-in-law. If you don't respect me, It is the crime of deceiving the emperor, not to mention you, even the Jingan Hou Mansion cannot escape punishment, so in this case, you still insist on marrying that Miss Six?"

With a sinking heart, Du Xuan kowtowed and said: "It is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the crime is all on the student. Please the emperor punish the student alone. This matter has nothing to do with the Jing'an Houfu."

He took all the blame for the crime on himself, but still refused to let go and agree to be the son-in-law.

The hall became quiet again, but that quietness made Du Xuan's heart palpitate. He knew that his life and death depended on the thought of the ninety-five lord in front of him.

However, monstrous wealth is far less important than that indifferent woman who frowns and smiles in her mind.

Having made up his mind, Du Xuan no longer had any fear in his heart, and his kneeling body became more and more straight, like a young tree struggling to grow upwards outside the window.

"The empress is here..."

During the stalemate, the voice of the servant came from outside the hall.

"Kneel here well, if you don't understand, you don't have to get up."

Speaking with a trace of sullenness, Emperor Jiayuan got up and went out, and when he reached the gate of the hall, he met the queen who was oncoming.

"Let's go to the Royal Garden for a walk."

Emperor Jiayuan waved his hand at the empress, raised his feet and walked away, the empress looked at Du Xuan's kneeling back with concern, turned around and followed.

After listening to Emperor Jiayuan explaining the whole story, the queen smiled and said, "I never thought there would be such a chance. It can be seen that these two children have cultivated fate in their previous lives."

Glancing at the queen, Emperor Jiayuan was a little surprised, "I thought you would blame me for being indecisive. If the decree was made on the day of the palace examination, if he dares to violate it now, I will punish him for deceiving the emperor."

The two have been husband and wife for so many years, and the queen naturally knew that he was joking, so she talked about her own opinion, "We are parents, the old master and old lady of Jing'an Hou Mansion, shouldn't we? To think about the lifelong happiness of the Seventh Princess, the two elders not only want to think about girl Luo, but also think about their son and daughter-in-law who died young. It was originally agreed, and if you don't say anything, you still have to blame him Deceitful king, how can there be any reason for this?"

The empress spoke playfully, but Emperor Jiayuan could hear her love for Bai Yingluo and her protection of Jing'an Hou Mansion and Du Xuan, both in and out of words.

"I've met the young lady in the Jing'an Hou Mansion a few times, and she's a good one. But what's going on with her parents?"

After a long time, Emperor Jiayuan no longer remembers what happened to Bai Shiming and his wife.

The empress turned positive, and told Emperor Jiayuan about Bai Shiming's death in office, and Liu's grief after giving birth to Bai Yingluo and following her husband and son-in-law.

After hearing this, Emperor Jiayuan sighed with some embarrassment: "So, Bai Shiming has devoted himself to the country. It would be even more unreasonable if I robbed his son-in-law."

"So, the emperor agrees?"

the queen asked happily.

Emperor Jia Yuan smiled and nodded, "Fortunately, I didn't let go in front of Concubine Hui, otherwise, where would I find a consort who can rival Du Xuan for her?"

"The hero is a young boy, and the concubine thinks that the second place and the third place are both good. Why don't the emperor ask again?"

The queen came up with an idea.

Smiling, Emperor Jiayuan walked around and turned around, "Let's go, Zhuangyuan Lang is still kneeling in the imperial study."

Walking all the way in the same direction, the queen's warm words came along with the wind, "Follow good deeds to the end, Your Majesty, for this marriage, let's decree a marriage, it can be regarded as a favor to Jing'an Houfu."
