Lord, the princess is beautiful and fierce

Chapter 571 Not a Good Husband
Chapter 571 Not a Good Husband
Xiao Shen had just had dinner and was reading a book when he heard people outside saying that Empress Wu had come. Xiao Shen was so happy that he almost jumped up from the dragon chair: "Who? The empress is here? The empress has come to see me."

Xiao Shen was flattered.

Desheng didn't want to hit him, he wanted to say that the empress came here for no reason, it must be no good, forget it, let His Majesty be happy for a while.

"Desheng, can you see if my hair is messy? And my clothes..."

Desheng "..."

As for the old couple?

When Empress Wu entered the palace, she found Xiao Shen's face full of joy, and she didn't know what kind of obscenity he thought of, so Empress Wu frowned.

"Join Your Majesty!"

Empress Wu saluted.

Xiao Shen collected himself: "Wait, why is the queen here?"

Empress Wu said: "Your Majesty, when will Zhu Zhu and Wei Congxi be married?"

Xiao Shen was stunned for a moment, isn't this too direct?Don't even bother to say a few polite words?

Xiao Shen said: "Qing Lan, sit down first."

Empress Wu went to the chair next to her and sat down.

Xiao Shen sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to give them marriages, the queen also knows that there is a Bai family in between, so even I can't get involved in this matter."

Empress Wu laughed angrily: "Does your majesty think that Wei Congxi is easy to bully because he has no father or mother?"

Xiao Shen was taken aback.

Empress Wu said: "If your majesty finds it difficult, you should stop Zhuzhu when she went to Dazhou a year ago, but what about your father and son? Let Zhuzhu go. Now that Wei Congxi is risking his life, you should stop her." Looking for this excuse, you have taken advantage of it, but now you will bully people?"

These words are really ugly, but they are all true.

Xiao Shen's old face was also a little uneasy: "Qing Lan, this is a major national event..."

"I don't care about the affairs of the country, but if you exchange pearls for benefits, I, a mother, must take care of them."

Xiao Shen didn't speak, and was silent for a while before saying: "This matter is not as simple as you think, Wei Congxi is good, he is also sincere, I also agreed to this matter, but the Bai family is not easy to mess with, and I also I didn't expect the Bai family to be interested in Zhuzhu."

Empress Wu sneered in her heart, if you were really thinking about Zhu Zhu and Wei Congxi, a year ago Zhu Zhu had just expressed her intentions, and she should have called off the marriage, but now, Bai Xiuyuan is back, if Bai Xiuyuan agrees to call off the engagement, it's fine, if not Disagree, so what? "

At that time, Zhuzhu's reputation will be damaged, since they want to be bad people, they should be their parents, but Xiao Shen wants to be a coward now, it's just a dream.

"Then what does His Majesty mean?" Empress Wu gritted her teeth and asked.

Xiao Shen felt that the Queen's gaze could kill, but he still bite the bullet and said: "A year ago I just let them talk, and Wei Congxi agreed, so I have nothing to say, but it's not easy for the Bai family, after all, Mr. Bai I didn't come back, but now that I'm back, if Zhuzhu really likes Wei Congxi, I can talk to Mr. Bai, actually I think this kind of problem should be left to their young people to solve."

Empress Wu smiled: "You mean to let Zhuzhu solve it by herself? Wei Congxi has already boarded the Nanyue boat, can he still get off? You dragged him into the water and didn't honor his promise, it's simply despicable." "Queen!"

Xiao Shen was also a little unhappy when Empress Wu said this about her: "It's not that I don't want to, the Bai family is not a small family. What I did was also to give Zhuzhu and Wei Congxi a chance, and what to do later is up to them. Solve it, I can't participate, otherwise the Bai family will be chilled."

The queen also knew what Xiao Shen said was right. From an emperor's point of view, what he did was absolutely right, that is, he won over Wei Congxi without offending the Bai family. But from a father's point of view, what he did was absolutely right. It's just hurting Zhuzhu.

Empress Wu got up: "Your Majesty is really a good emperor, and my concubines admire it. It's late at night, and my concubines will not disturb your Majesty's rest. My concubines will leave."

Turn around and leave.

It was not until Empress Wu had left for a long time that Xiao Shen came back to his senses, staring at the chair that Empress Wu sat in a daze.

Desheng said: "Your Majesty, it's getting cold, put on some clothes."

Xiao Shen put on his clothes and said after a while: "Zhuzhu is my daughter, I owe her something, I am sorry for her, I admit that I am not a good father, but I am also the king of a country, I am the emperor of South Vietnam, We must be responsible to the people of South Vietnam."

Xiao Shen sighed: "The queen blames me, I have nothing to say, I am not a good husband after all."

Xiao Shen looked very tired: "When it came to Concubine Shu, I wanted to kill that bitch, but I couldn't. Later Tu'er was born, and I couldn't touch her even more. She is Tu'er's mother after all."

Xiao Shenxu babbled, talking, saddened: "It's useless to say these things. After all, I'm not a good husband or a good father. If she wants to blame me, let her go. Life can't always be perfect."

"His Majesty…"

Xiao Shen shook his head: "That's all."

Desheng sighed, the emperor was not all satisfied, and His Majesty did well enough, but the empress seemed to be right, the wrong probably was this position, which made people unable to control themselves.

...

Within a few days, Shi Luo received a message from the Bai family. After she returned to South Vietnam, she seldom attended such banquets, and basically turned them down. Anyway, she is a princess, and no one said anything if she didn't go.

But she hesitated about the Bai family's post. It's okay if she doesn't know, but after knowing, she has to face her relationship with Bai Xiuyuan head-on.

Shi Luo felt that there were some things that should be made clear.

So, Shi Luo dressed up, chose a gift, and went.

Today is the 50th birthday of the Bai family uncle. The Bai family uncle is regarded as the head of the Nanyue Bai family and is very prestigious in the Bai family.

Bai Xiuyuan is the eldest son of their eldest family, so whether Bai Xiuyuan came back for the wedding or the birthday of the old man of the Bai family, Shi Luo thinks it is the latter, Empress Wu stubbornly thinks it is the former.

She came with Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi said that he would meet Bai Xiuyuan.

on the carriage.

Shi Luo asked amusedly, "Have you never seen him in Da Zhou?"

It shouldn't be, when Xiao Yi stayed in Dazhou for a long time, Bai Xiuyuan was the president of the South Vietnam Chamber of Commerce, how could he not have seen him?
And it was the Nanyue Chamber of Commerce that Xiao Mo took Shi Luo to at the beginning, and Bai Xiuyuan had a good relationship with Xiao Mo, so he should be familiar with Xiao Yi too.

Xiao Yidao: "To be honest, I really don't have much contact with this Bai Xiuyuan. He is in Dazhou all the year round, but I don't go there often. Even in Lanjing, I haven't had much contact with him, but I have done business. A few rubs."

Shi Luo thinks about it, even if they are in the same place, they don't necessarily have to be familiar with each other, not to mention that Bai Xiuyuan is still a member of the Da Zhou Bai family in name, Shi Luo couldn't help asking: "Isn't the Da Zhou Bai family a branch of the Nanyue Bai family? Aren't they from our South Vietnam? As an undercover agent, Bai Xiuyuan also served as the chairman of the South Vietnam Chamber of Commerce? Why did he return to South Vietnam with such a high profile?"
