Family cultivation: a psychic mirror at the beginning

The Imperial City of the Imperial Capital, the Imperial Study Room.

Baili Xi, who returned to the palace, put on his dragon robe again and sat in front of the dragon table, preparing to review the memorials submitted by the ministers these days.

"Your Majesty, the Empress of the East Palace is asking for an audience."

Outside the room, the old eunuch's voice came.

"Let her in."

Baili Xi gave instructions while bending over his desk to review the memorial.

The Empress of the East Palace is Baili Moxue's biological mother and the legitimate daughter of the Tongshan Xia family.

"Concubine, please see Your Majesty."

A graceful and graceful woman in palace robes walked into the imperial study room. When she saw Baili Xi who was at the desk reviewing memorials, she bowed and said a blessing.

"My beloved, please sit down."

Baili Xi didn't even raise his head and said in a calm tone.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Empress of the East Palace thanked her and sat down to one side. She looked at Baili Xi who was still busy reviewing the memorial. After a long time, she slowly said: "Xue'er, have you ever returned?"

Hearing this, Baili Xi frowned slightly.

I took Xue'er out of the palace incognito and went to the Liu family in Yuncang. Could it be that these people still noticed it?

"My beloved concubine, what do you mean by this? Hasn't Xue'er been concentrating on cultivation in her palace?"

"But a few days ago, my concubine went to visit her in the palace. The eunuch maid responsible for taking care of Xue'er's daily life said that Xue'er was not in her palace."

"You must have gone out for some fun, right?"

Baili Xi responded.

"I don't know, why did my beloved concubine suddenly ask about this?"

"It's like this, my ancestor plans to betroth Xue'er to Wang Liyuan of the Yulin Wang family.

The concubine once inquired that Wang Liyuan was the most talented person of the Wang family in Yulin. He was extremely talented, and he understood the meaning of the sword at a young age. He would soon be able to practice Qi. He was truly a talented person.

I came here this time to tell His Majesty that I hope His Majesty can consummate this marriage. "

The Empress of the East Palace looked at Baili Xi and expressed her intention of coming.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Baili Xi responded calmly.

Marry the Yulin Wang family and make the Yulin Wang family a relative of the emperor?

Nowadays, the three families and seven clans all have the heart of a tiger and a wolf. How can we let them continue to grow bigger?

The imperial city and the court have almost been infiltrated into a sieve by people from three families and seven clans. Are you still thinking of stuffing people in?

"What's wrong?"

"Wang Liyuan is more than enough to match Xue'er, what's more, he has the support of the Yulin Wang family.

If the Yulin Wang family is a relative of our emperor, then the emperor's empire will be more stable. "

"There is no need to say more about this matter. If I say something wrong, it is wrong!"

Baili Xi replied indifferently after placing the memorial he had reviewed in his hand neatly on the table beside him.

"Your Majesty, my ancestor has already negotiated this matter privately with the ancestor of the Yulin Wang family.

If you don't agree, I'm afraid you will offend my ancestors and the Yulin Wang family.

later......"

The Empress of the East Palace looked at Baili Xi who was standing above her. Her tone was gentle and seemed to be discussing, but in fact, her words contained threats.

"Are you threatening me when my beloved concubine said this?"

Baili Xi's eyes turned cold, and his tone couldn't help but feel a little colder.

"I don't dare."

The Empress of the East Palace quickly leaned over.

"Hmph! I'm sorry you don't dare! My ancestors are not dead yet, and I haven't stepped down from the throne yet.

As long as my ancestors and I are still alive, then the country will still be full of surnames!

All important matters in the palace must be decided by me and have the final say!

Xueer is my daughter, she will marry whomever I tell her to marry.

Go back and tell your ancestor not to stretch your hands too far. It is not her turn to make the final decision on the marriage of the princes and daughters in the palace! "

Baili Xi looked at the Empress of the East Palace and was furious. The good mood after returning from the Liu family in Yuncang was completely ruined at this moment. It was simply unlucky!

"Your Majesty, Xue'er is also my concubine's daughter! She is a piece of meat that fell off my body. Could it be that I can't decide on her marriage?"

Although she knew that Baili Xi was very angry now, the Empress of the East Palace did not show much fear.

Instead, argue with reason.

"Okay, since you've talked about this, it's not your turn or mine to take care of this matter. Whether Xue'er wants to marry or not is up to her to decide!"

"Row."

The Empress of the East Palace nodded in agreement.

"Eunuch Wei."

"This old slave is here, Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Go, bring the seventh princess to the imperial study, and tell her that I have something to summon her."

"Old slave, let's go now."

The old eunuch bowed to accept the order and left quickly.

In the royal study room, the atmosphere suddenly became dull and silent.

After a long time, Baili Moxue was ordered to come and entered the royal study. After seeing his father and mother, he quickly bowed to them.

"Xue'er."

As soon as the Empress of the East Palace saw her daughter arriving, she immediately showed a gentle smile on her face, stepped forward and gently stroked her daughter's cheek: "During this period, I have been concentrating on practicing, and I seem to have lost weight."

"It's okay, my servant took good care of the child."

"Father, you suddenly summoned me, but something happened?"

Baili Moxue looked at Baili Xi, who had a straight face above him, with curiosity on his face.

"Ask your mother."

Hearing this, Baili Moxue looked at his mother in confusion.

"Your grandmother plans to betroth you to Wang Liyuan of the Yulin Wang family. That son is a handsome man and a good person, and he has the support of the Yulin Wang family.

I don’t know, Xue’er, are you willing? "

The Empress of the East Palace smiled softly.

As soon as he heard his mother's words and thought of his father's stern face, Baili Moxue understood a lot at once and clarified everything.

"Mother, my son only wants to devote himself to cultivation, but has no intention of growing love."

Bailixi, who was looking up from above, couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his daughter's words.

On the contrary, Empress Donggong frowned slightly: "Xue'er, the love between children does not hinder the cultivation of Taoism."

"My child, I have made up my mind, and I hope my mother will make it happen."

Baili Moxue took two steps back and bowed.

"Xue'er, you..."

Empress Donggong was a little angry, but looking at her daughter, she couldn't get angry easily.

"Oh! That's all! This matter has been put aside for the time being. I heard that the Hundred Clans Conference is coming soon. At that time, Wang Liyuan will also come. Maybe, if you meet him and understand each other, you should change your current thinking."

Baili Moxue did not respond to her mother's words.

On the contrary, in my mind, I unconsciously thought of Liu Yantian's appearance, and recalled the relaxed and comfortable scenes with the younger generations of the Liu family in Yuncang.

"Your Majesty, I, my concubine, will take my leave first!"

Knowing that this marriage was about to happen, she could not push her daughter too hastily, so the Empress of the East Palace resigned first.

"Father..."

"Needless to say, you need to make up your own mind on this matter. Go down and practice well and prepare for the Hundred Tribes Conference coming soon!

I still have a lot of things to deal with. "

"My child, please leave."

Baili Moxue bowed, turned and left.

"Your Majesty and Xue'er were not in the palace some time ago. Where have they been?"

As soon as she left the Imperial Study Room, the Empress of the East Palace looked at a maid beside her and asked in a deep voice.

This woman is a casual cultivator under the name of his Tongshan Xia family. She is mainly responsible for protecting her in the palace and working hard for her.

"My subordinates have sent people to investigate secretly. However, the information on the Holy One's side is very tight, and the people below have not found out the truth."

The ordinary-looking maid with a long sword on her back bowed in response.

"Today, the Holy Father prevented me from marrying Xue'er to the Yulin Wang family. There must be something we don't know about. Let's send someone to send a message to the family to see if the family can find out anything?"

Thinking of Baili Xi's tough style today, there was a faint cold light in the narrow eyes of the Empress of the East Palace.

"Follow it."

Yuncang County, Liujiazhuang.

"I'm going to participate in the Hundred Tribes Conference this time, so I can have a good reputation. It doesn't matter whether I win or not. What's important is to bring my daughter-in-law back to my father!"

In front of the carriage, Liu Yunyue patiently instructed her son.

"Dad, I understand."

Liu Yantian looked embarrassed.

"Shuang'er, you have to help your brother Yan Tian and coax your future sister-in-law more."

"Hehe! Second uncle, don't worry, Shuang'er will work hard."

"And Yan Shui, your eldest brother is a bit stupid when it comes to matters concerning his children. He has no shame to say many things. You have a thicker skin. You went to the Hundred Tribes Conference and gained knowledge with your uncle. By the way, you also helped your eldest brother learn more. Coax your future sister-in-law."

"Second uncle, don't worry. I will bring your beautiful daughter-in-law back to you. Maybe it will progress quickly and you will have a grandson!"

"Haha! Okay, if it works out, my second uncle will treat you to something nice to eat and drink."
