Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 387 Attitude
"Grassman Xia Yun, see Princess Lanxin."

"Mr. Xia Ge, please wake up. I'm here. It's nothing important. Mr. Xia Ge doesn't need to be so polite."

"Princess, you are welcome. You are a princess, and I am just a commoner. Naturally, I need to come out to greet you."

"Old Xia Ge, let's go in and talk, standing at the door, I'm afraid it's not good."

"You guys can go down first. Mr. Xia Ge and I have some private matters."

"I don't know what the princess ordered?"

"I know that you don't look down on me. I'm just the emperor's sworn sister, a fake princess. And you are Mr. Ge Lao, who has many peaches and plums all over the world, so naturally you don't look down on me. However, Mr. Xia Ge, I'm here today, But I have something to tell you."

"Although the grass people don't know what the princess wants to say, they have guessed the slightest bit. I'm afraid the princess is going to tell the grass people about the concubine Xia being demoted and grounded, right? King Huiwen is really interesting. Let the concubine Xia be demoted and grounded here. Let the princess come over there, are you here to see a joke?"

"Mr. Xia Ge, you are full of peaches and plums, and you are rich in education, but you have not raised a smart daughter."

"The grass people don't understand what the princess means by this."

"What do you mean? Then I will discuss it with Mr. Xia Ge."

"The grass people are all ears."

"Although Concubine Xia is young and beautiful, she doesn't have the brains she should have. Firstly, as soon as the news came out that the emperor would draft a queen, she couldn't wait to take the prince there to question her. However, she was caught by the emperor and was demoted and grounded. Secondly, after the queen was established, The prince has never made the decision in the draft, it is the emperor's idea. Concubine Xia cannot understand this matter, and she is still jealous. Thirdly, the queen is the first wife to be married, and there will be no one else to choose the queen. No matter what, there will be no one else. Afterwards, Concubine Xia's love will not fade, and it will even become more, Concubine Xia has never understood these things. Is Concubine Xia not brainless when you say these three things?"

"It's a joke. When a newcomer enters the palace, the harem is full. You only see the newcomer laughing, but the old one doesn't cry. How can you make her love you so much? I'm afraid the princess didn't enter the palace, so she doesn't know how lonely the palace is."

"Of course I never entered the palace. But Mr. Xia Ge, you must know that, first of all, the emperor never had any feelings for the empress. He had feelings in the palace, and it is impossible to become the empress now. In this regard, Concubine Xia has already taken the lead." The opportunity is right. Secondly, the emperor does not trust the veterans. Xiage is full of old friends, and the disciples are all over the court. If the concubine Xia is named queen, the emperor will not be at ease. He is always worried that you will take the credit and be proud of yourself. But the posthumous After that, there will be no more doubts. In the end, in the deep palace, there has never been true feelings, no matter which emperor is the same, and now this emperor is even more so. Whether it is the old man Xia Ge or the noble concubine Xia, neither should, put My wealth and life, the glory of my family is pinned on non-existent feelings. It is the trust of the emperor, which is more reliable. As long as Xia Ge's old disciples work hard in the previous dynasty, Concubine Xia has never made a mistake, and the emperor trusts him. Don't you think this is Concubine Xia, isn’t her honor and favor everlasting?”

"It's easy for you to say, but can you guarantee that those beautiful girls who come in will not be favored by the emperor?"

"Old Xia Ge, I'm afraid you haven't entered the court for a long time, so you don't know the rules. Most of those beautiful women are the daughters of old ministers, and some are the sisters and relatives of the current ministers. You said, compared with so many people, Is there any woman who can surpass Concubine Xia in status? I still say the same thing, don't pin your wealth, life and family glory on non-existent feelings. Whose mother's family has helped the emperor more in the previous dynasty, and the emperor's life in the past Isn't it natural for the harem to favor whoever it is? You must know that our emperor is not the kind of fatuous emperor who wants beauties but not power."

"Then you are here now, are you trying to persuade me? Then you succeeded. "

"I never use it to persuade you, I even don't need to talk to you about it. If you and the emperor have more quarrels, and the emperor takes this opportunity to get rid of you, maybe our prince can get some benefits. It's just, I think , Getting rid of you may not be all good for us, so I hope, Mr. Xia Ge, you can think about it clearly, whether you have to fight to the death like this."

"It's a joke, King Huiwen is a side-by-side king, and he and Lord Naluo have been friends for many years. How can I fight against you as a mediocre person? You say that, you think too much of me."

"On the surface, this is the case, but in fact it is not. Mr. Xia Ge, we all know why you sent Concubine Xia into the palace. We just don't want your precious treasure to be treated like a grass by others. With the empress It's not good for you to turn against each other. It is imperative to seal the empress. At this time, no matter how much the emperor likes the Xia family, he will first stand on the queen's side. This matter can not only sell a favor to the queen, It can also be used as a show for the world to see, and it can even be used to test Elder Xia Ge's loyalty. Therefore, regarding this matter, Elder Xia Ge, you must think clearly and don't act impulsively."

"Oh, do I still want to be a close friend of the Protectorate?"

"Mr. Xia Ge, I don't know what to say about what you said. On the surface, all the courtiers are not allowed to have close contacts, but in private. You must know that the friendship between ministers is not for promotion, but for the sake of promotion." Protect yourself. You can pretend to be unwilling, but you need to know that the emperor needs a step down so that he can restore Concubine Xia in a legitimate way, and the queen also needs a reason so that she will not target Concubine Xia overtly or secretly. This matter, yes You are a good deed for Concubine Xia, and it is a good deed that is sure to make money without losing money. You must know that no matter how much the emperor loves Concubine Xia, the queen is the queen after all, and Qin Yan is the queen's younger brother. If Qin Yan is really killed, do you think Concubine Xia really has a comfortable life?"

"With the emperor's favor, she can't do anything."

"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 so good, and she does things well. Not so thoughtful. At that time, if someone fanned the flames, maybe they would really do something like this time, and do something to leave the cabinet. No matter how much the emperor loves him, he will punish him for the sake of face. Besides Now, Concubine Xia is so restless, when the time comes to spread the word about what she said and did during the punishment, I'm afraid the emperor will be even more angry."

"What you said, can you only admit defeat?"

"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 know if the emperor has feelings for the empress? As long as the time comes, Concubine Xia Don’t go too far, I don’t think the Queen will do anything.”

"The princess is more like a lobbyist for the queen."

"Definitely not a lobbyist. If you have to say that I am a lobbyist, then I will be your lobbyist. The queen is indifferent and not as straightforward as Xia Guifei. If I can choose, I will naturally be Xia Guifei's lobbyist. I I believe that the prince thinks the same way."

"It seems that the prince really found a good princess."

"I'll take it as it is, Xia Ge is always praising me."

"It's just that the princess has said so much, isn't she afraid that the walls have ears? Maybe Caomin has already arranged for someone to report to the emperor at that time."

"The wall has ears? So what if the wall has ears? Have I ever said anything that should not be heard? Concubine Xia's mistakes, Mr. Xia Ge, you are not afraid of embarrassing people to listen to, so what is there to be afraid of? When I came to the emperor, I just thought I was a It's just a righteous sister who is not good for helping him. But when the time comes, whether the emperor will use this to punish him is still unknown."

"Princess is really cautious."

"Be cautious, for me, for the prince, and even more for Elder Xia Ge. As the saying goes, be careful sailing for ten thousand years, isn't it?"

"Then the princess has finished talking about this trip, please go back, princess."

"Of course I want to go back. I just want to trouble Mr. Xia Ge to do a full set of plays 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? "

"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 came here with such great fanfare, if the grassroots refused because of illness, wouldn't it mean that the grassroots don't know how to flatter them?"

"Now it proves that Xia Ge is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to praise."

"I don't know if the princess is praising the grassroots or scolding the grassroots."

"If Mr. Xia Ge is not so polite, then I am complimenting him."

"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."

"What Mr. Xia Ge said is wrong. If you are talking about status, you are right to say this, but if you are talking about other things, it is wrong. Concubine Xia is my royal sister-in-law, and you are Concubine Xia's father, then He is the head of the state, we have always been members of the family, how can family members talk about status?"

"Just kidding, monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons, the grassroots dare not overstep."

"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 stepped into the Xia Mansion, the first From the beginning, in the eyes of the outside world, I have become the Queen's Empress' lobbyist. If you send me out, that is a consensus, and I successfully sold a favor to the Queen. If you don't send me out, that is because you don't know how to flatter me. It has nothing to do with me. 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 the grassroots?"

"I'm just looking for a correct path for Mr. Xia Ge. Since you are reluctant to part with Qinghe and send sister Qinghe to the palace, you don't want to offend the emperor. In this case, there are some things that should be done properly. Xia Qinghe In the eyes of the emperor, she 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. No matter whether Xia Qinghe loves the emperor or not, 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..."

"So what if she dares? So what if she doesn't dare? Whether it's her or him, it's just you, Mr. Xia Ge, who are attracted to or feared. If you have the heart of disobedience, even if you have great power, you 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? 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 and Xiao He defeat Xiao He, your power does not bring her all benefits. This power, as long as the emperor With the slightest suspicion, neither Xia Qinghe nor you, Xia Yun, will end well."

"Princess, it seems that these words are not what you should say."

"Ha, what should I say? What should I say? What should I not say? I'm not afraid to tell you that I am Bai Lan, Wei Huaqing's missing fiancée back then. My whole family, my whole clan, are all because of his Wei family. Annihilation. Now, I am forced to hide my name and recognize a thief as my father. You still have to tell me, what should I say? I just don’t want to lose some people who have experienced the same experience as me when everyone can’t compete with it. I Is there something wrong? What should I say? What should not be said? I have said what should be said, and I have said what should not be said. If Mr. Xia Ge feels that there is something I should not say, it will make you feel harsh, let If you think you are meddling in other people's business, then you can go and talk to him. Anyway, I am the only one left in my Bai clan, so I am not afraid anymore. After I die, I can see my father whom I have not seen for more than ten years Damn. Maybe, they are like you, worrying about me and planning for me! But at that time, there was no one like me and the prince who endured humiliation and reminded me with their lives!"

"You...you are Bai Lan? You...you...then your father...Bai Sheng..."

"Dead, they're all dead! Where are the people... they don't exist anymore... Even if the prince sent someone to save them, it's just a small number of people. Compared with the original number, they can be ignored."

"I……"

"That's all, that's all, whatever you think is fine, just send me out. Whatever you think is all your business."

"Lan girl... I will do what you say..."

"I'll take you 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. .”

"Thank you, princess, for your kind words."

Thinking of the Xia Yun described by Bai Lan and herself, Feng Yong felt that Xia Yun was not an ordinary person.

How could an ordinary courtier have such an attitude if he knew the princess was coming...
