Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 311 Leaving Kyoto, A New Beginning

The blood of Chengqian Palace accumulated a thick layer on the white marble palace road, and the palace people washed it with water for two full hours before rinsing it clean.

The officials in the main hall have withdrawn, only the royal family is still sitting.

The third prince, the fourth prince and the sixth prince dared not make a sound at this time, they only lowered their heads to minimize their presence, for fear of attracting Baili Qingcang's attention again.

The second prince lowered his eyes slightly, but his mind was paying close attention to Shen Ninghua.

Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua knelt in the hall, the sky had gradually brightened, making the candlelight in the hall look a little pale.

"Father, please allow Erchen and his wife to leave."

Baili Qingcang looked silent: "Give me a reason. I don't want to hear reasons like fear of revenge. If you are really afraid, how dare you do such nonsense?" Fighting against all officials with his own strength, he felt for them all in his heart. Holding a handful of cold sweat.

Baili Junyi raised his eyes: "Father, what reason can the son and minister have? If you really want to say it, it is that the son and minister are tired of staying in the capital and want to go out and have fun for a while. Since Ninghua After returning to Beijing, I have gone through a lot, just after marrying my son, I don't know how many framed and embarrassing things I have suffered, my son can't bear it."

Baili Qingcang opened his mouth slightly, and sighed slightly, how many times even with his support, the two of them were still almost framed, he knew about this, but he just wanted to let them go, he didn't think so Abandon.The more he saw the performance of the other sons, the more valuable he felt about them.

"You...you two...don't worry, I will naturally protect you well, you don't have to hide from anyone."

"Father," Shen Ninghua raised her head gently, her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, leaving a faint soft shadow on her white jade cheeks, "Father, you haven't listened to Erchen's playing all the time. Guqin, how about Erchen playing a piece for you today?"

Baili Qingcang didn't know why she suddenly mentioned the guqin, but looking at her face, he couldn't say no: "Okay, why do you want to play a piece for the father?"

Shen Ninghua smiled slightly, did not answer, and turned her head to signal the servant to bring the table case in.Baili Junyi put the table case for her by himself.

Shen Ninghua raised her head: "Father, can I borrow your green Qi?"

"Of course." Baili Qingcang ordered Lu Qi to be fetched.

Shen Ninghua sat down, and gently plucked the strings, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "Father, I remember that the second prince and side concubine played a piece of Lanling music before, and today, my son will also play this piece. "

Bai Liqing trembled violently, looked up at Shen Ninghua who was sitting on the ground, and only then realized that the clothes on her body looked familiar.

He remembered that when Xia Jingyan played Lanling music for him before she got married, she was also wearing a red dress like this, she was as beautiful as fire.

He opened his mouth, but saw that Shen Ninghua had raised his hand, and the first sound of the piano, like mercury pouring down the ground, pulled him into the artistic conception of the song.

Shen Ninghua plucked the strings, and the intense music flowed out.

It's just that there is always a faint smile on her face, plain and gentle, gentle...

This song is about the battlefield, which is difficult to find, but in her hands, the battlefield is still cruel, but it is no longer endless killing, but to protect, to protect the wife and children behind, to protect the home behind, Guard the land behind you!

The waiting of the wives, children and parents at home is still worrying, but the waiting is no longer hopeless and obsessive, but full of confidence and pride. They believe that the departed will eventually return, that the war will eventually be won, and that the country will eventually become strong.

Baili Qingcang's eyes filled with hot tears, and he tried his best not to let them fall: Jingyan, are you still blaming me?I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have attacked the Xia family just because of the power in my hand, I shouldn't have ruined your life because of unwarranted fear...

The passionate music gradually calmed down, the smile on Shen Ninghua's face gradually deepened, and a slightly cheerful voice came out one after another.

It seems that the days of going through the battlefield and waiting and waiting are finally exchanged for staying together in peace. The joy is extremely pure, pure without the slightest resentment or fear, just like the most clear and transparent stream.

Baili Qingcang stared at Shen Ninghua in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses until a long time after the music ended: "This last part..."

Shen Ninghua took out a piece of silk from her sleeve, which was covered with dense handwriting: "Father, I found this after sorting out my mother's belongings some time ago. It is a piece of music, only the second half. I have been looking for it for a long time. I couldn't complete the first half of the chapter, and finally discovered by accident that it is very suitable to accompany Lan Lingle."

Baili Qingcang took the silk and satin in a daze: "You...you mean that this piece of music written by your mother is Lanling music?"

"Yes, I think it should be like this." Shen Ninghua's eyes were slightly watery, "Father, I heard that my mother likes the Northwest very much. She said that the lonely smoke in the Northwest desert and the sunset over the long river are the most magnificent and beautiful. Now the Northwest In the midst of a drought, my son is willing to go with Prince Yi to relieve the disaster and manage the northwest well, which can be regarded as a matter of peace for the emperor."

Baili Qingcang's fingers trembled so badly that a tear finally fell down:

"Yeah, your mother has lofty aspirations. She used to want to fight like a man on the battlefield. After being discovered by the old Patriarch Xia, she gave her a hard lesson and kept her angry for a long time. In the end, I sent her away." An eagle, this is not angry."

With a smile on Shen Ninghua's face, she waited silently for Baili Qingcang to finish speaking. After a long time, he seemed to come back from his thoughts: "Okay, since you don't want to stay in the capital, then go out for a walk. I don’t stop you anymore, you can choose where you want to go, but there is one thing, you have to come back to see me every once in a while.”

The two knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Baili Qingcang.

Shen Ninghua said: "Father, I don't worry about you. This is a pill I made to strengthen the body. One pill a day is enough for half a year. You have to take good care of your body. Before long, Erchen and Jun Yi will be together again." I will bring Yong Chen and Luo Yao back to see you."

"it is good."

Baili Junyi continued: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Ninghua and your grandchildren, and I will come back to see you after a while."

"Well, okay, it's not that I won't come back, don't talk about it. I know you two are good boys." Baili Qingcang sighed slightly, "Go back and pack your things carefully, and think about it carefully. What place, the place in the northwest is too remote and deserted, it's okay to go there occasionally, but it's really inappropriate to take two children there."

Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi looked at each other with a smile in their eyes: "Father, the Northwest is very good. My son and Junyi have already discussed it. After going to the Northwest for disaster relief, I will live there for a while."

"It's fine for the two of you to endure hardships, but don't take my grandson and granddaughter with you, they are not as rough and thick as you, that's all right, you go back and think about it, I'm tired too, after spending so much time... "

"Father!" Baili Qingcang just stood up when he heard Baili Jinchuan's cold voice.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Baili Jinchuan took a look at Baili Junyi, and finally set his sights on Shen Ninghua: "Father, you said before that the prince would not leave Beijing, and he gave the fifth younger brother two choices. Now they choose the latter." , is it because you want to speak well and depose him from the position of prince?"

The third prince and the others were secretly anxious in their hearts, and they didn't want to see Baili Junyi's wish come true. After all, if a prince is released, it can almost be said that he is the highest besides the emperor. Where would he want to buy people's hearts and gather power? It's not easy, but they plan to completely empty him once he goes out, so that he will never come back.

They were the only ones who made a mistake and didn't dare to stand out. They didn't expect that the second prince would still remember this. Now it's all right. Seeing Baili Junyi in trouble, they felt relieved.

Bai Liqing frowned fiercely: "Why, do you think your fifth younger brother, Prince Yi, is in the way?" Originally thought that the second child was a quiet one, did he have other thoughts?
"How could it be, this son-in-law is only maintaining the majesty of the father."

"Oh, you are kind." Baili Qingcang sneered, "Then what title do you think is best for your fifth brother to leave with?"

Baili Jinchuan suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that what he said was reckless, but if he wanted to watch Shen Ninghua leave, it would be tantamount to tearing out a piece of his heart, but he wanted to stop it but couldn't find the right one excuse because he doesn't have any stand!

But Baili Junyi smiled indifferently: "Father, what the second brother said makes sense. You opened your mouth to let the son choose, and the son chose to stay away from the capital. It's serious, but it doesn't matter if you kiss the prince or not, anyway, you can't pretend that you are a prince, and having this name is enough to fool the people below into obedience."

"What are you talking about? Now that I have opened my mouth, let me demote from prince to county king. Although the prince's title is gone, I can still enjoy the salary, double the prince's salary."

Baili Qingcang was extremely satisfied with Baili Junyi's performance. Although he was exempted from the position of prince, this double salary is a real manifestation of pampering. In this way, even if he leaves the capital, no one would dare Look down on them.

Baili Jinchuan felt anxious for a while: "Father..."

"Okay, aren't you satisfied? Don't you know how to treat your brother?" Baili Qingcang was impatient, and after reprimanding Baili Jinchuan, he turned and left.

The third prince and the others regretted it, what a great opportunity, the second prince didn't grasp it, it was really useless!Baili Qingcang has left, and it doesn't make sense for them to keep it, so let's go back and think about how to fill up the national treasury.

Baili Jinchuan walked up to Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua, with restrained anger on his face: "Ninghua, do you have to go?"

Shen Ninghua looked indifferent: "My husband is leaving, so I naturally have to accompany him. There are still a lot of things to pack, so I left first."

Seeing her ruthless appearance, Baili Jinchuan reached out to grab her sleeve.Baili Junyi made a sudden move to protect Shen Ninghua behind him, grabbed Baili Jinchuan's wrist, and beat him aside: "Second Brother, please respect yourself."

Shen Ninghua didn't want to make more entanglements, so she reached out to hold Baili Junyi's hand: "Let's go."

Seeing the back of the two leaving, Baili Jinchuan gritted his teeth with hatred. At this time, his entire arm was so painful that he could hardly feel it, but it was not as intense as the pain in his heart: "Shen Ninghua, you will come back, I will let you Come back!"
