Glory all the way

Chapter 55
There was a moment of silence in the room, Bai Yingluo lowered her head, Liuying couldn't see the expression on her face, so her expression was a little apprehensive.

After being silent for a while, Bai Yingluo sighed softly and said, "Second sister of the Bai family has a private engagement with the son of the wealthy Sun family for life, and the Sun family is unwilling to marry, so the second elder of the Bai family became ill with anger, but? "

"It's not all..."

While speaking in a low voice, Liu Ying calmed down and said, "That Mr. Sun is determined. If he can't marry the second sister of the Bai family, he will become a monk. It's just that the second elder of the Bai family saw that the Sun family was bullying others and said that he was poor. Not poor, even if someone from the Sun family came to ask for a marriage, they would never agree to this marriage, and the second elder sister of the Bai family said some unpleasant things, and the second elder got angry."

In the previous life, the marriage of the second sister Bai Ling was not smooth, but in those days, Bai Yingluo was sent to the house of the elder sister Bai Xiu by her parents, so she didn't know anything about the family.

When she returned home later, the neighbors looked at her family with envy, and said repeatedly that the Bai family was lucky to have a family like the Sun family.

From that day on, the Bai family began to prepare for the marriage of their second daughter.

Although she vaguely felt that her parents looked a bit gloomy, but Bai Yingluo was still young at that time, she always thought that her parents were busy with the second sister's marriage and were a little tired, so she didn't think about it any more.

Looking back at this moment, Bai Yingluo suddenly understood that during those days when her parents were sick, she was still at the eldest sister and her husband's house, playing happily with the little sisters in the same village.

Therefore, the inside story was not that she was lying on the couch with weakness caused by the thumping wind and cold, but that she was angered by Bai Ling.

Counting the days, Bai Ling has been married to Sun's family for more than a month. Bai Yingluo sighed helplessly, looked up at Liu Ying and said, "Let's just let this matter go, after all, the second elder of the Bai family is already in better health." .”

"Yes, the servant has remembered."

Seeing that Bai Yingluo felt a little depressed after hearing this, but she couldn't figure out the reason, Liu Ying responded softly, got up and went out.

Lying on the soft couch on her back, in front of Bai Yingluo, there were the loyal but slightly disgruntled faces of the two elders of the Bai family, Bai Xiu's worried eyes, and Bai Ling's triumphant smile.

Bai Xiu is the first daughter of the two elders of the Bai family. Although she is from the countryside, she was raised in the palm of her hand after all. When it comes to the second child, it doesn't matter so much, and Bai Luo has been cute and cute since she was a child. Young daughter, even Bai Xiu protects her tightly.

Bai Ling is the second daughter of the Bai family, four years younger than Bai Xiu and three years older than Bai Luo.That's why, from childhood to adulthood, Bai Ling always felt that her parents only had Bai Xiu and Bai Luo in their eyes. When Bai Luo was not born, she always wore Bai Xiu's old clothes. Seeing that she is docile and well-behaved, she will cling to her first if there is any good food and clothing at home.

In Bai Ling's heart, she is the extra one in that family.

When she was young, she used to fight for food and clothing, but later on, Bai Ling's mind gradually became deeper, and the older she got, the calmer she became, but she was no longer like when she was a child, she would tell her mother and elder sister whatever was on her mind. up.

Therefore, when the family members knew that she and the young master of the Sun family had made a private decision for life, no one was not surprised, especially after seeing the arrogant face of the Sun family, the two elders of the Bai family felt more and more that they could not let their daughter marry into such a family. They were wronged, but after they expressed their attitude resolutely, without waiting for the Sun's family to respond, Bai Ling said that the uncooked rice had already been cooked, and in this life she was the Sun's family and died as the Sun's ghost.

In front of all the neighbors and folks, the uncle of the Bai family raised his hand and slapped Bai Ling. It was the first time the father hit the children since the three daughters grew up.

It was also because of that time that Bai Ling felt even more heartbroken. On the day she married into the Sun family, she was as arrogant as a queen, and she said to the elders of the Bai family and her two sisters in a domineering manner: No matter how you treated me in the past, After all, we are a family, and I will treat you well in the future.

The parents were silent, and the villagers shouted that Bai Jialing's mother was sensible. The 12-year-old Bai Luo stood behind the elder sister, but she couldn't see a trace of joy in the elder sister's eyes. With resentment.

In the following years, Bai Ling seldom went back to her mother's house, and her father and mother never took the initiative to mention their second daughter. Although they lived in the same village, they seemed like two different families.

Afterwards, Bai Luo also got married in time, and only then did she know that a marriage without the words of the matchmaker and the order of the parents would not be blessed.

It was also at that time that Bai Luo learned what kind of life the second sister lived in the first two years of her marriage to the Sun family. However, Bai Ling was precocious since she was a child, and those two years were just a process of re-learning for her. How to treat mother-in-law and sister-in-law differently from appearance to concubine.

Those villagers who were waiting to see Bai Ling's jokes changed from gloating at the beginning to turning pale in the end. At that time, Bai Ling had become the uncompromising hostess of the Sun family. From the parents-in-law who disliked everywhere, down to the unruly and self-willed sister-in-law, as well as the disdainful sisters-in-law and servants around her, Bai Ling handled them one by one.

When the Bai family had an accident, Bai Ling had become the object of admiration and admiration for the girls in the village, but only Bai Luo knew that in the eyes of her parents and eldest sister, since Bai Ling said those words on the day of her marriage, the Bai family had been The second daughter is gone.

Withdrawing his thoughts, it was already dark outside, and a little maid was passing word in the yard, saying that meals were delivered from Qing'an Hall.

Bai Yingluo shook her head, put out all the past events that she had just randomly recalled in her mind, got up to tidy up, and took Liuying and Xiangzhu to Qing'an Hall.

After dinner, Mrs. Xue, Second Madam, Fourth Madam and a group of girls talked with Old Madam Bai as usual, while Old Madam Bai took his children and grandchildren to the study to discuss matters.

After chatting a few words, the old lady Bai turned her head to look at Bai Yingluo and asked, "Didn't the Empress say that after the Double Ninth Festival, you will have to pick up those talent lessons you learned in the afternoon?"

At noon, Bai Yingluo came back before noon as before, and the old lady Bai only remembered now, for fear that Bai Yingluo would delay her serious business because of her own private affairs.

Nodding her head, Bai Yingluo said with a smile: "Princess Six is ​​not feeling well. She had a cold when she got up early. After the etiquette class, she went back to the dormitory to rest. The afternoon class was cancelled. The master said that everything will be decided according to Princess Six's physical condition. "

After the Chinese New Year in February, the sixth princess will be married to Da'an Kingdom, and in the six months before that, there will naturally be educated nuns in the palace to take care of the sixth princess, just waiting for her to marry a man in Da'an Kingdom and stabilize her own status. status.

That's why, the common cold in the past is now taken seriously by the people around the sixth princess.

Thinking of the sad face of the six princesses before she left the palace at noon, the corners of Bai Yingluo's lips curved slightly.

Entering the palace again on the second day, the sixth princess has recovered a lot.

During the break between classes, Bai Yingluo asked the sixth princess with concern, "Is it better?"

The sixth princess naturally understood the pun, so she shook her head and said, "The sickness on the body is cured, but the sickness in the heart will not disappear so quickly after all."

Bai Yingluo opened her eyes wide, with a puzzled look on her face.

For a while, because of the matter of the crown princess, the sixth princess seemed to be more sad and frustrated than the prince. Every time the prince was mentioned, the sixth princess would sigh for a long time.

Bai Yingluo sighed, and looked back at the five people who were standing far away talking, Fang softly persuaded: "Although the choice of the crown princess has not been determined, it has already been spread in the palace and in the capital. Now, thinking about it, it can’t be wrong. The whole thing is done, the princess might as well be at ease, maybe, that Miss Dou is a kind and understanding flower, who can raise eyebrows and zither with His Royal Highness. "

The sixth princess shook her head resolutely, "Yingluo, you don't understand."

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a palace maid walking towards him in the distance, and the sixth princess stopped talking immediately.

The palace maid came over, but asked the sixth princess whether the talent class in the afternoon should continue as usual or be cancelled.

Thinking that she was either bored and in a daze in Yunrou Palace, or was tortured by those nuns nagging, it would be better to come to class and have a quiet time, the sixth princess said that her body was almost healed, and everything was as usual.

After the maidservant left and the rest time was over, the sixth princess didn't say much, and waited until the etiquette class was over, and took Bai Yingluo back to Yunrou Palace.

After lunch, the two lay side by side on the bed. The sixth princess looked at the pale pink bed eel above her head with blank eyes, and said quietly: "Brother Prince and Sister Mei are the most compatible couple I have ever seen. That's right, they grew up together since they were young. The prince's elder brother only has sister Mei in his heart, and sister Mei is naturally the same. For so many years, the father and mother seem to have acquiesced in their affairs, only waiting for sister Mei and Ji, Then you can issue a decree to designate sister Mei as the crown princess."

"The sister Mei that the princess is talking about is Lin Zhimei, the lady from Beiningbo Mansion?"

Pausing in her heart, Bai Yingluo looked at the sixth princess in surprise and asked.

The sixth princess nodded, and continued on her own: "I don't know what's going on. A few days ago, Prime Minister Dou and Madam Dou entered the palace frequently, and I don't know what they said to the imperial grandmother. I hinted a few times, saying that the young lady of the Dou Mansion is a good match."

Sighing faintly, the sixth princess continued: "After that, Miss Dou followed Mrs. Dou into the palace a few times, and the emperor was very satisfied with her after seeing her. This marriage is settled like this. The prince knows By the time it was too late."

Thinking of the two encounters with the prince in the gazebo on the rockery in the imperial garden, and the second time when he confessed his thoughts in cryptic words, Bai Yingluo probably understood in her heart that the close friend the prince was talking about was probably the son of Beining Bo.

The topic of the crown prince was frequently circulated in the capital, and Beining Bo Shizi could not stand up for his younger sister, so he could only vent his anger on the crown prince.

Thinking about it this way, Bai Yingluo felt more and more that she was tricked by nature, and felt a little regretful in her heart.

But before she could say anything, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the screen, and Lihua came in to report: "Princess, just now the emperor issued an order in His Royal Highness Taihe to select the crown princess on September [-]."

Hearing this, the Sixth Princess's face darkened, and she sat up anxiously.
