The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 214
The little prince led the crowd to walk in, and passed four or five courtyards on the way. Although they could not be regarded as high-rise buildings, they could be regarded as elegant and small buildings, with a unique style, but the little prince's footsteps did not stop at all. , Qianzong's frown became tighter and tighter, and several ministers looked at Jingguo Hou and Bai Ziyu with meaningful eyes.

Arriving at the gate of a remote courtyard, the little prince finally stopped, pointed to the room in front of him and said, "Father, we are here. Miss Huang lives here."

Qian Zong didn't go in directly, but stood outside and looked at the yard in front of him.In the middle of the courtyard gate is a tablet with the inscription "Zimo Courtyard". The font is correct and majestic, and it can be seen that it is Bai Ziyu's handwriting, and this is the only bright spot that this courtyard presents to everyone.The courtyard wall is not made of bricks, but it looks like a mud wall, covered with a layer of snow, only a few gray parts are exposed.The gate is old, so old that its original color cannot be seen. The gray wood has been exposed to the outside. After experiencing the wind and sun, several large gaps have appeared. If you push it hard, it may break.Only a very narrow path was cleared on the ground, allowing only two people to pass side by side at most. The rest of the place was completely covered with snow. The snow had stopped for a long time, but it was obvious that no one had cleared the snow in this yard.The door is open, looking inside, there are not many views, but there are many houses, but they are all covered by thick snow, and the original appearance can no longer be seen.

There were two women guarding the door, and now the two of them have knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qianzong.Qian Zong asked: "There is so much snow, why don't you send someone to clean it?"

A woman said: "Princess said that no one cleaned General Bai's yard, and there was more snow there. In addition, the rain leaks in summer were not repaired in time, and some beams were rotten. I was afraid that they would not be able to bear the weight of the heavy snow, so I sent someone to go first. Help get there."

Now the general Bai in this family is only referring to Bai Ziren.Just listen to this meaning, this Bai Ziren lives in a dilapidated place than here, and he is a son of a son after all, how can he live worse than the poor outside the city? It is reasonable to say that the Bai family lives poorly, but the courtyards of the concubines in front It can be a hundred times stronger than here.The Bai family is still an aristocratic family, and the simplest distinction between the descendants and concubines is not clear. The Baihou Lord's family management is too chaotic, so it is no wonder that the Bai family does not have a generation.

Lord Bai just knew that Brother Bai Ziyu's life was not good, but he didn't know why it was so bad. Being stared at by everyone strangely made his face turn red and turn pale. Looking at old lady Bai.Old Mrs. Bai's face is also not good-looking. This house was arranged by Mrs. Bai, who is now concubine Xiao Gui, when she was in charge of the house. She just didn't object.Now the east courtyard is run by Yun Yuhong, she is fully capable of changing the courtyard for herself, if she doesn't change it, it has nothing to do with her.Hearing what the woman in front of the door said, Mrs. Bai said angrily: "What nonsense, I haven't passed it on to Li. The emperor is here, let them come out to greet him."

Qian Zong waved his hand and said: "No need to communicate, Hong'er is pregnant and the road outside is slippery, so be careful!" Looking coldly at Jing Guohou and his wife, Qian Zong walked in.

Entering the main hall, Yun Yuhong was already waiting to welcome Qian Zong. Seeing Qian Zong coming in, he led the crowd to salute Qian Zong, but Qian Zong held him up.Pulling Yun Yuhong to sit with him on the low kang, Qian Zong looked at Yun Yuhong's expression. Fortunately, his complexion was ruddy, and he had gained a lot of weight. It seemed that everything was fine. Can't help but look at the house.

Sure enough, the house felt the same as the outside, it was really dilapidated.It can be seen that the tables, chairs and furniture are all new. They should be replaced by Yun Yuhong when they got married. Seeing that the circles of her eyes were a little red, she asked, "Hong'er, have you lived in such a place these past few years?"

"It's not bad here. Hong'er doesn't have high requirements. It's good to have a roof that can keep out the wind and rain. My daughter has been wandering outside for many years, so she's used to it." Yun Yuhong said indifferently.

Yun Yuhong didn't care, but Qian Zong didn't agree. He pointed at Hou Jingguo and said angrily: "Your Majesty Jingguo, this is how your Bai family treats my daughter. No matter how you say it, Hong'er is also a princess of a country. This is how she married into your Bai family. What kind of treatment? You have seen it along the way, your concubine and favored concubine all live better than the princess, do you still have the royal family in your eyes, and me as the emperor?"

Everyone in the Bai family knelt down in fright, Jingguo Hou replied: "The emperor calm down, I did not think carefully, but it is quiet here, Ziyu likes to study here and does not want to move away, I did not dissuade you, I know my mistake "Jing Guohou's meaning is very simple, it is not my intention to let the princess live here, Bai Ziyu will not move, if you want to find it, go to Bai Ziyu.

Bai Ziyu lowered his head and didn't speak, he couldn't say anything, saying it wasn't his own idea, it would be unfilial to refute his grandfather's words in public like this, his grandfather made him bear the responsibility for this crime, he could only bear it, he couldn't say no Character.It's just that Bai Ziyu is not angry, the anger that should be angry has been exhausted, and the Bai family will soon have nothing to do with him. This is the last time to act as a shield for them, and it is right to return the last bit of kindness to the Bai family.

Bai Ziyu didn't speak, but everyone in his family knew what was going on.Many censors were very confused by what Jingguohou had done, what was wrong with Bai Ziyu, Baihou Lord gave up the eldest grandson of the Bai family so completely.Even though he can't practice martial arts and lead troops, he has outstanding literary talent, outstanding ability, and dignified appearance, and there are not many such people in the entire capital.Even if he is not a son-in-law, with his ability, he is absolutely worthy of the position of prime minister. In recent years, he has put forward many good policies for governing the country. He deserves to be a good prime minister of a country.This kind of descendant is not a treasure in any family, and it is not an exaggeration to be paid as a tribute. I really don't understand why Jing Guohou is dissatisfied with such a descendant.

Qian Zong said angrily to Bai Ziyu: "Ziyu, is that really the case? But you can't just think about yourself, the princess, and the child in the princess' womb."

Seeing that Bai Ziyu was being scolded, Yun Yuhong immediately stopped her and said, "Father, as the saying goes, marry a chicken and follow the chicken, and it's not like I can't bear hardships, so don't blame Ziyu."

Qian Zong looked at Yun Yuhong, and his eyes turned red, "Silly boy, my father loves you so much. You are a princess of a country, and you could live a life of prosperity and wealth. But my father didn't protect you well and let you Leaving the palace since childhood, wandering in the rivers and lakes, eating and sleeping in the open, suffered a lot, and finally came back, but he had to put down rebellion and fight wars, and he didn't have a safe life. Now, married people have to live in such a dilapidated house In the house, why is my daughter so miserable!"

Qian Zong was really hurt. Before he was invited by Bai Ziyu, he really never thought that his daughter was suffering this kind of suffering. He was a little hesitant when he heard Bai Ziyu said that he would leave the Bai family. He paid attention to it, but he shouldn't forget his ancestors, but now, he wished he could raise his hands and feet to agree with Bai Ziyu's decision. The life of a legitimate son is not as good as that of a concubine, and the house he lives in is not as good as that of a concubine. The Bai family really has nothing to miss.

Mrs. Bai hurriedly said: "My Lord Hou also feels that this is inappropriate. Now that the emperor has spoken, I will immediately exchange the best courtyard of the Hou Mansion for the princess to live in."

Qian Zong felt that these words were harsh to the ears, what is meant by "the emperor speaks", as if the purpose of my coming today is to find a good house for Hong'er.My family Hong'er is a princess of a country, what kind of yard do you want? Is your Jingguo residence a golden nest or a silver nest? Does my family Hong'er have to live in it?

Qian Zong snorted, glanced at Mrs. Jingguo Hou and said, "I'm afraid the best courtyard in Jingguo Hou's mansion belongs to the old lady and Lord Hou. Let you give up the yard. Outsiders are not going to say that Hong'er is not filial, but they want to say I relied on my identity to bully you."

Marquis Jingguo knew that his wife's words had offended Qianzong, and he also blamed her in his heart. This is to deal with the king of a country, so you put away those little thoughts in the inner house, and you can't pay attention to what you say, and angered Qianzong. What good can it do.

But just as Hou Jingguo wanted to explain to Qianzong, he heard a loud "bang" from the east, and the ground under his feet trembled, and the people in the room panicked, and someone called out: "Is it an earth dragon? "The others were silent for a moment, then frantically flocked towards the door.

Fortunately, the trembling stopped quickly, and people stood in the yard and looked around. Dust and smoke billowed not far to the east, and a guard ran to report: "Go back to the emperor, it is General Bai's house in the east that was crushed by snow."

Bai Ziqi couldn't help but said: "Nonsense, it's not snowing now, how could it be crushed by snow."

The guard ignored Bai Ziqi, but saw that Qian Zong was also looking at him, and then replied: "When I got up in the morning, when General Bai came to greet the princess, he mentioned that there was always a strange noise in the room yesterday. The princess was worried that it was snowing too much. The house was in disrepair for a long time and couldn't bear it, so we sent a few of us to help General Bai clean the roof. We only sent one person up, and found that the house was shaking a bit, so we didn't dare to go up to the second person, we just went up one by one. .Only when we reached the roof of the main house, the house collapsed as soon as a person stood on it.” Can the weight of one person collapse a house?It should be no problem for a normal roof to bear the weight of several people.

Bai Ziren in the crowd asked: "That brother is not injured, how are the others?"

Many people have thumbs up in their hearts. The Bai family brothers have different personalities. The general Bai’s house collapsed. He doesn’t care about the belongings or the responsibility. He cares about the safety of the personnel first. This is the real man. The way to deal with it.

The guard obviously warmed up, and replied respectfully: "The brother managed to avoid it, and the others all went to help because they wanted to meet the holy driver, so there were no casualties."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Qian Zong's face was extremely ugly, he didn't say a word, instead he took the lead and walked towards the dusty place to the east.
