Shenhao: The little widow became the richest woman in Beijing

"Nothing." Zhou Lingxing's face remained as usual and he dropped the chess piece in his hand. It's just that the chess piece was in the wrong position.

Seeing this situation, Bai Xueru continued to fall down and did not speak again.

At the end of the game, Zhou Lingxing looked at Bai Xueru and said warmly: "You don't need to worry about me, my friend is also very good."

Bai Xueru nodded, "A close friend lasts longer than a spouse. Your Excellency has a noble status and deserves a better woman."

Zhou Lingxing whispered, "You are very good."

Bai Xueru looked at the chessboard and said nothing.

Zhou Lingxing looked at the woman's silent refusal. The calm face curved, "It's okay, I still admire you."

"In the future, no matter what happens, if you need me, you can come and see me."

Bai Xueru nodded. Zhou Lingxing took off the jade pendant from his waist, placed it on the table, and headed out the door.

"Wait a minute, this jade pendant," Bai Xueru shouted at the man's back.

"There is no other meaning. Miss Bai can accept it with confidence." Zhou Lingxing spoke first. It's just his ancestral jade pendant.

His fate with her started when she gave him a jade pendant and ended when he gave her a jade pendant. She doesn't want to take it back, just like she did back then.

Bai Xueru pursed her lips, "Sir, this high-quality jade pendant should be given to the right person. It is a pity to give it to me so casually."

Bai Xueru stood up and handed the jade pendant back to Zhou Lingxing.

Zhou Lingxing lowered his eyes and looked at the jade pendant that was handed back in his hand. Some things could be taken back, but some things could not be taken back.

His thin lips moved slightly, but in the end he said nothing and walked forward.

Emperor Zhou Ming was sitting on the dragon bed, listening to the words of the secret guard below, his face was pale and weak, but his majesty remained intact.

"Back to Your Majesty, that woman is indeed related to the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince often goes to her residence. It is found that His Highness the Sixth Prince Huo Cheng once lived in her courtyard."

Zhou Minghuang remembered what the legitimate son of the Zhong family said a few days ago, that the woman built the courtyard was ordered by the sixth prince to help him win over the people and talents. The cold winter had also been trying to win over the military, so it seemed that he had underestimated him.

I thought that he had a non-competitive temperament, never made friends with courtiers, and had no interest in government affairs. He actually did so much in secret, and was even more secretive than the second and third sons.

Zhou Minghuang's eyes were sinister. Could it be that he had wronged the second child? Could it be that his body was because of the sixth child?

No, none of them can be trusted. Each of them is thinking about their own country.

Zhou Minghuang held the jade seal tightly in his palm and refused to let go, but his hand was trembling slightly due to lack of strength.

After pondering for a moment, he ordered someone to bring the woman to the banquet the day after tomorrow. Didn't the third child want to take the woman as his concubine? You will be perfected by him.

Since Lao Liu is enamored with that woman, let's let Lao Liu and Lao San play with each other first.

With that woman's identity, naming Lao Liu as the principal concubine was absolutely unworthy, and it was simply a disgrace to the royal family.

Bai Xueru looked at the people coming from the palace with surprise in her eyes. Will she be summoned to the palace banquet the next day?

"Miss Bai, don't be afraid. The Holy Spirit said that you should go there to commend you for your good deeds. I heard that I asked you to go by name."

Bai Xueru looked thoughtfully, award? If I wanted to reward myself, I would have rewarded myself already.

Except for a light compliment as a reward in Huocheng, which was told to him through Zhou Lingxing, the Holy Emperor did not have any actual expression.

The messenger thought that Bai Xueru had never been to the palace and was worried, so he comforted her with a smile:

"You don't have to worry, Mr. Bai." He looked at both sides and whispered.

"His Highness the Sixth Prince said he will be there too."

Bai Xueru's eyes moved slightly and she nodded lightly. The person who came to deliver the message in the palace was actually Zhou Xuanyin's person?

Two days later,

In the splendid palace, Bai Xueru sat quietly in the back seat, eating cakes in silence.

Even if soldiers come to block you and water comes to cover you, your left and right will not kill you for no reason.

When Mrs. Anhou came over, she caught a glimpse of Bai Xueru behind her. She couldn't hide the surprise on her face. She was a businesswoman, how could she be here at a banquet in the palace?

The eldest princess also looked here, her face calm.

The music is melodious and graceful, and various programs are overwhelming.

Zhou Xuanyin's eyes were searching, and when he looked at Bai Xueru, he felt slightly relieved.

Father summoned her here today, what's the matter?

He couldn't help but frown slightly. Since he promised not to let anything happen to her, he would naturally protect her no matter what happens later.

Regardless of the life-saving grace, she did a lot for herself.

In the middle of the banquet, Emperor Zhou Ming suddenly spoke.

"I heard that the woman who funded the construction of the institute also came here today. Where is she now?"

Everyone looked around, Bai Xueru frowned, stood up, walked forward to the center and saluted Emperor Zhou Ming.

For a moment, everyone on the court looked at Bai Xueru. Is this the legendary rich and handsome leader of the Bai family who has many husbands in his backyard?

An Haoyu's eyes were shocked and he couldn't help but sit up straight. How could his adopted sister appear in the palace?

Seeing that she still knew how to give him a horse from the Western Region, he forgave her for the arrow.

Zhou Xuanyin stared at the familiar figure, with worry hidden in his cold eyes.

The third prince looked unhappy and looked at Bai Xueru with evil eyes. Is this the rich woman who was attracted by the sixth prince?

He actually refused to be his concubine in the street, he was really ignorant.

I have been busy recently and haven't paid attention to her. She dared to come to the palace. Could it be that she wanted to be Lao Liu's concubine?

Zhou Lingxing put down the cup calmly and frowned, how could she be here? Is it possible that His Majesty wants to grant her a marriage to the Sixth Prince?

"Are you the woman who built the courtyard?"

Zhou Minghuang pretended to be fine and sat on the dragon chair, but when he listened carefully, his voice contained an unconcealed weakness as he asked the woman below.

Bai Xueru nodded, his voice neither humble nor arrogant. "yes."

Emperor Zhou Ming looked at the next woman with a majestic expression: "I heard about what you did a few days ago. It is indeed a great act of kindness. What reward do you want?"

Bai Xueru frowned and thought for a moment, shook her head and picked up some good words: "It is a blessing for a daughter of the people to do something for the Kingdom of Zhou and for His Majesty. Everything a daughter of the people does is out of her heart and does not ask for rewards."

The main thing is that he has no shortage of rewards for himself. Moreover, if he just wanted to reward himself, he would not wait until now. Bai Xueru narrowed his eyes slightly and said,

There must be other reasons why he called himself here today.

Zhou Minghuang's eyes were satisfied. Although this woman was a widow, she knew how to use her discretion. Being a concubine to the third child did not humiliate the third child.

Bai Xueru's eyes deepened slightly, did he actually have this idea?

He spoke first with a loud voice, blocking what Zhou Minghuang was about to say:

"People's daughters do not ask for rewards, but there are often people who are concerned about their family wealth and propose marriage to people's daughters. People's daughters ask Your Majesty to be a witness for the people's daughters. From now on, they will never marry. Even if there is someone they like in the future, they will only marry Don’t marry.”

Zhou Lingxing's eyes tightened. Wasn't she really telling her this?

He had just expressed his intention to marry her a few days ago. Could it be that she rejected him because she felt that he was concerned about her family wealth?

Zhou Minghuang had never expected that she would say these words, and he looked embarrassed. This made him marry her and make her his third concubine. Wouldn't it make people criticize him for caring about her family wealth.

Is it possible that she and Lao Liu don't have the same feelings for each other?

After all, even if Lao Liu fell in love with her, it would be impossible for her to get married. Wouldn't this cut off her own escape route?

Zhou Xuanyin couldn't help but hold on to the wine glass tightly. Would you like to marry him or not?
