Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 329 Promise
"With the emperor's favor, she can't do anything." Xia Yun said coldly.

Bai Lan nodded: "Of course, you can't do much on the surface. But don't forget, the empress is in charge of the harem, personnel scheduling, supply of goods, and trivial matters, big and small, all done by herself. Concubine Xia's temper is not That's good, and you don't think too much about doing things. At that time, if someone stirs up the flames, maybe they will really do something like this time, and do something to leave the cabinet. Punishment. Besides, Concubine Xia is so restless, when the time comes when what she said and did during the punishment period will be spread, I'm afraid the emperor will be even more angry."

"What you said, can you just admit defeat?" Xia Yun was a little angry.

Bai Lan shook her head: "As long as this time, you give the emperor a step down and give the empress a favor, then the empress will naturally not do anything. Besides, doesn't the empress herself know whether the emperor has feelings for the empress? At that time, Concubine Xia should not leave the cabinet too much, I think the queen will not do anything."

"The princess looks like a lobbyist from the queen's side." Xia Yun said lightly.

Bai Lan smiled: "I'm definitely not a lobbyist. If you have to say that I am a lobbyist, then I am your lobbyist. The queen is indifferent, not as straightforward as Concubine Xia. If I had a choice, I would naturally belong to Concubine Xia." Lobbyists. I believe that the prince also thinks the same way."

"It seems that the prince really found a good princess." Xia Yun said with a smile.

Bai Lan smiled and said, "I'll take it as it is, Xia Ge is always praising me."

"It's just that the princess has said so much. Aren't you afraid that the walls have ears? Maybe the common people have already arranged for someone to report to the emperor." Xia Yun said with a smile.

Bai Lan listened and chuckled: "Walls have ears? So what if walls have ears? Have I ever said anything that cannot be heard? Concubine Xia's fault, Mr. Xia Ge, you are not afraid of embarrassment and letting people listen, so what do you have to fear from me? Here we are. The emperor just thinks that I am a righteous sister who is not good for helping him. But when the time comes, it is unknown whether the emperor will use this to punish me."

"The princess is really careful." Xia Yun said coldly.

Bai Lan smiled: "Be cautious, for me, for the sake of the prince, and even more for Mr. Xia Ge. As the saying goes, be careful sailing for ten thousand years, isn't it?"

"Then the princess has finished talking about her trip. Princess, please come back." Xia Yun said lightly.

Bai Lan nodded: "Of course I want to go back, I just trouble Mr. Xia Ge to put on a show and do a full set, and send me out."

"Heh, the princess came here with such great fanfare, isn't it just to let everyone know that you and the prince are helping the empress to solve the problem? Caomin is sending you out now, isn't it telling the world that Caomin is willing to be a lobbyist for the prince? "Xia Yun's face was a bit sullen.

Bai Lan raised her eyes: "Could it be that Mr. Xia Ge didn't mean that? If Mr. Xia Ge didn't mean it, with Mr. Xia Ge's intelligence, he would definitely call me sick and not let me come."

"The princess comes with such a big fanfare, and if the common people refuse because of illness, doesn't it mean that the common people don't know how to appreciate her?" Xia Yun said coldly.

Bai Lan nodded: "Now it proves that Mr. Xia Ge is not a person who doesn't know how to praise."

"I don't know if the princess is praising the grassroots or scolding the grassroots." Xia Yun's words were not so polite.

Bai Lan smiled: "If Mr. Xia Ge is not so polite, then I am complimenting you."

"A princess is a princess, but I'm just a commoner. It's not that I'm being polite, it's that the status disparity is too great." Xia Yun said coldly.

Bai Lan shook her head: "What Mr. Xia Ge said is wrong. If it is about status, it is correct, but if it is about other things, it is wrong. Concubine Xia is my emperor's wife, and you are Concubine Xia's." Father, that is the head of the country, we have always been our own family, how can our family talk about our status?"

"Just kidding, monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons, the grassroots dare not overstep." Xia Yun was still blunt.

Bai Lan smiled: "No matter what Mr. Xia Ge thinks, I won't take it to heart. But now, I'm here. If Mr. Xia Ge doesn't send me out, he will send me out. From the moment I step in From the first step of the Xia Mansion, in the eyes of the outside world, I have become the Empress’s lobbyist. If you send me out, that is a consensus. I successfully sold a favor to the Empress. If you don’t send me out, that is your fault. It has nothing to do with me for being ignorant of praise. Now that I am about to be crowned empress, there is no need for Mr. Xia Ge to offend the emperor and implicate Concubine Xia because of these few steps. Therefore, I advise you that it is better to give it away. "

"Is this how the princess plots against grassroots people?" Xia Yun was angry.

Bai Lan said with a smile: "I'm just looking for a correct path for Mr. Xia Ge. Since you are reluctant to give up love and send Qing and sister to the palace, you don't want to offend the emperor. In this case, there are some things that should be done properly. That's right. In the eyes of the emperor, Xia Qinghe is no different from the daughter of a veteran minister who is about to enter the palace. But if you do what you need to do and reassure the emperor, Xia Qinghe will become the number one favorite concubine. Regardless of Xia Does Qinghe love the emperor, the emperor's favor is enough to keep her safe in the harem forever. Xia Qinghe is your favorite, you would never think about it, because you died in the palace without a sound, right? "

"She dares! If she dares! I..." Xia Yun began to get excited when he heard this.

Bai Lan said coldly: "So what if she dares? So what if she doesn't dare? No matter whether it's her or him, it's just you, Mr. Xia Ge. You think that there will be no one around the emperor who is so powerful. A woman? If you have the heart of disobedience, you will be powerful and will not end well. Who is he, don’t you know? Why did those old ministers resign and return to their hometown? Why did Lord Luo say he was sick? Why did the emperor pass the throne to him? Mr. Xia Ge, you thought you could use your own power to guarantee her a lifetime of prosperity, but you never forgot that success is also Xiao He and Xiao He is defeated. Your power does not bring her all benefits. As long as the emperor has the slightest suspicion about this power, neither Xia Qinghe nor you, Xia Yun, will end well."

"Princess, it seems that you should not say what you said." Xia Yun said coldly.

Bai Lan smiled, a little crazy: "Ha, what should I say? What should I say? What shouldn't I say? I'm not afraid to tell you that I am Wei Huaqing's missing fiancée Bai Lan, my whole family, and me The whole family was destroyed because of his Wei family. Now, I am forced to remain anonymous and to recognize the thief as my father. You still want to tell me, what should I say? I just don’t want to lose something when everyone can’t compete with them. They are just people who have gone through similar experiences to me. Am I wrong? What should I say? What should I not say? I have said what I should say and what I should not say. If Mr. Xia Ge feels that there is something I should not say If it makes you feel harsh and nosy, then you can just go and talk to him. Anyway, I am the only one left in the Bai family, so I am not afraid anymore. If he dies, I can see him. I haven’t seen my parents for more than ten years. Maybe they are worried about me and planning for me just like you! It’s just that at that time, there were no people like me and the prince, who could bear the humiliation and remind me with their lives!”

"You...you are Bai Lan? You...you...then your father...Bai Sheng..." Xia Yun was a little surprised.

Bai Lan said with a wry smile: "Dead, they are all dead! Where is there anyone...it doesn't exist anymore...even if the prince sent someone to save them, it's just a small number of people, compared to the number at the beginning, it can be ignored ”

"I..." Xia Yun didn't know what to say.

Bai Lan looked at Xia Yun and shook her head: "Forget it, forget it, whatever you think, just send me out, that's fine. What you think is all your business."

"Girl Lan...I will do what you said..." Xia Yun said lightly.

Bai Lan was a little surprised and turned to look at Xia Yun.

Xia Yun smiled: "I'll take you out."

After finishing speaking, Xia Yun sent Bai Lan out: "Princess, walk slowly, and the grass people will not see you off."

"Mr. Xia Ge, you don't need to be polite. Sister Qinghe and I love sisters. I don't want to have such a thing. I hope Mr. Xia Ge will not worry too much. The emperor is only a momentary temper. After a while, Sister Qinghe will definitely be released. .” Bai Lan could only be polite.

Xia Yun smiled and said, "Thank you princess for your kind words."

When Bai Lan returned to the mansion, Jing Mo and Guang Bai had already left.

Bai Lan saw Feng Yong sitting in the room and walked in.

Feng Yong saw Bai Lan and smiled: "Is the matter over?"

"Well...it's just..." Bai Lan thought of Xia Yun's abnormality. Just as she was about to say it, she was interrupted by Feng Yong.

"Do you want to talk about Xia Yun?" Feng Yong said with a smile.

Bai Lan nodded: "He was a little surprised when he knew my identity."

"It's normal...it's normal...do you know who Xia Yun is?" Feng Yong smiled wryly.

Bai Lan shook his head.

"Xia Yun, that official who was looking for you back then..." Feng Yong said with a wry smile: "At that time, he was not that big, a small official, and ended up losing a concubine who had never been educated in his position. Do you think he was impressed?"

Bai Lan nodded: "I see..."

"I think Xia Yun will take care of this matter. For other matters, it's up to the empress to appreciate it." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Bai Lan asked with a smile: "How about I also go to the palace and talk to her?"

"No, she is not an ordinary person. If you talk about her, she will doubt our sincerity. In the harem, there are two people who are the most difficult to deal with. One is Concubine Ning, and the other is the queen. The queen is relatively easy to deal with. After all, she doesn't have anything to hide on purpose. But this Concubine Ning is the most troublesome thing. To be honest, if it weren't for Concubine Ning's existence, we wouldn't need to draw the queen to form an alliance." Feng Yong said with a frown.

Bai Lan was a little strange: "Concubine Ning? I haven't heard you mention such a person."

"You've seen... the woman in red who blocked you in the alley, and Jian Ning, on the day you went to the banquet meeting. I actually arranged someone to protect you that day, but I didn't show up when I saw that you were nothing. " Feng Yong said with a wry smile.

Bai Lan was surprised: "No wonder you said all the strange things that day, so you knew it at that time."

"I don't want to know your secret, I just want to send someone to protect you..." Feng Yong explained.

Bai Lan shook her head: "I don't mean to blame you..."

"Jian Ning is not an ordinary person. The Suhe tribe will not send an ordinary person here." Feng Yong said with a frown.

Bai Lan nodded: "I only know that she is a member of the organization, but I don't know that she is from the Suhe clan. But her status in the organization is not low, and she is not an ordinary person at first glance."

"The first time I met He Jian Ning, I knew that He Jian Ning seemed to be the kind of simple-minded and well-developed limbs, but in fact, he really had a lot of ideas in his heart. Every time he spoke or did something, he was not the kind of person who was thoughtless at all. It's cerebral, but it's just right, so you can't find anything wrong. It seems that he is the same person as Jian Ning and Xia Qinghe, but in fact, they are completely different. Xia Qinghe is really simple, while Jian Ning is pretending to be simple." Feng Yong looked at Bai Lan and said lightly.

Bai Lan sighed helplessly: "Perhaps this is the only way to let people down. After all, it is not easy to hide one's identity in the deep palace."

"In order to ensure that her identity is not exposed, Wei Huaqing should not give her a big promotion. But the people we send into the palace need to be more careful." Feng Yong said with emotion.

Bai Lan nodded: "Actually, this is very troublesome. But in order to better know what is going on in the palace, we can only do this. Will Wei Huaqing really let all those people enter the palace? Is it too much?"

"The sisters and relatives of the court ministers are generally betrothed to those court ministers. Even if the daughters of the veteran ministers are not selected, they will remain in the palace as female officials, and it is impossible to let them out." Feng Yong shook helplessly. Shake your head.

Bai Lan was a little surprised: "Female officer? Isn't that much better than a palace maid?"

"Wei Huaqing only cares that these people must be in the palace. It doesn't matter what they do. As a female official or a queen, you cannot leave the palace temporarily. This way you can restrain those old officials." Feng Yong said with a bitter smile.

Bai Lan shook her head helplessly: "That's why he is so unpopular. But if he is better, those veterans will not agree to such absurd things."

"Another person would not insist on letting the daughters of these veteran officials into the palace. Isn't it? What's the difference between this and when I was sent to Wenzhou? It's obvious that I suffer, and then I have to thank the Lord Long En. Obviously I don't want to go , and pretend to be full of expectations. Doesn’t he just like doing this kind of thing?” Feng Yong was a little angry.

Bai Lan smiled: "Then let him feel it too."

"One day it will, I will make him feel one day, what is it like. He always thinks everyone is being played by him, but in the end? It always surprises him. I never thought of fighting What, to be honest, if the people around me don’t leave one by one, I really think it’s fine to let nature take its course. But later, I really found out that he is not just for me to tolerate, he will never let us go A person, he is nothing." The more Feng Yong said, the more angry she became.
