Little Wife Treasure [Rebirth]

In the Marquis of Changping's mansion, there was no Li Shi deliberately causing trouble. Later, Bai Ke finally came back from the outside, his gentle brows and eyes were a little dazed, mixed with a little relaxation.

He learned from his subordinates that after he left, Aunt Li made He faint again, and in the end it was Bai Guo who pushed her down. He couldn't help rubbing his tired brows, and walked to Ding'anju.

At that time, Bai Guo was listening to Yu Zhi, He's maidservant, explain the imperial physician's general description of Changping Hou and He's condition before leaving. Yu Zhi just told more than half of He's condition, and the servants informed the third young master.

"Hello, third young master." Yuzhi crouched down.

Bai Ke nodded to her, walked to the chair opposite Bai Guo and sat down: "Is there any tea?"

Yuzhi hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Bai Ke.

Bai Ke went for a run in the afternoon and was so tired that he drank a whole pot of bitter tea under Bai Guo's slightly surprised gaze, then took the handkerchief Yu Zhi handed over, wiped his mouth, and said with a wry smile, "I'm back today. Are you scared enough? Auntie is not sensible... I have caused you trouble."

Bai Guo saw the gauze wrapped around his right hand, shook her head and said, "I, I'm fine...it's just Simei, is she okay?"

Bai Ke glanced at the servants standing beside him, hesitatingly looking a little embarrassed.

"Is... locked up?" Bai Guo asked speculatively, frowning again.

After all, the concubine of the Hou Mansion can be regarded as half the master. Bai Yuwei's manslaughter, if convicted in the government, it is not a small crime. To be honest, she might suffer a lot in prison.

Bai Ke looked at his puzzled eyes, sighed in his heart, and simply waved away the servants around him, and then said slowly, "Fourth sister...she is fine for the time being, before I return home, the Gu family has sent Someone took her back from the yamen."

Bai Guo nodded: "Yes, it was Gu's uncle who cleared it up?"

"It's not the Gu family." Bai Ke closed his eyes, and the complex expression that was difficult to express just now reappeared, and said in a low voice, "...it's the fourth sister, she is pregnant."

"Pregnant, pregnant?" Bai Guo asked in surprise.

Bai Ke smiled wryly and said, "Yes... I heard from the doctor that Yuwei is three months pregnant. I asked her... that she is Gu Zixiu's child."

three months?

But didn't Bai Yuwei just marry Gu Zixiu for three days, then, wouldn't the child in Bai Yuwei's womb become the evidence of the two people's adultery before marriage?

Bai Ke also knew the seriousness of this matter, but fortunately, the officials in the government office did not think of this, and the child in Bai Yuwei's stomach is now Gu Zixiu's first child. It was considered fancy, but with the child in her womb, no matter what the Gu family said, it was impossible for her to have an accident.

Bai Guo also thought of this, and sighed slightly.

Bai Ke said again: "I also inquired about the family situation of the concubine who was pushed to death by Yuwei, and it seems that there is only one young brother left... After all, this matter is Yuwei's fault, and the concubine is innocent, so I plan to Use some of the money I have saved over the years as compensation to that family."

Bai Guo pursed her lips, nodded and said, "Yes, yes."

The two said a few more words. What Bai Ke meant was that he planned to go back to the academy to continue his studies after he went to give the money to the family of the concubine who died in vain. He was not good at all for the rest of the affairs in the Marquis' mansion. It's better to leave early if you come forward and do more finger-pointing.

Bai Guo squeezed her hands, and looked at Bai Ke sitting opposite him, looking forward to the future in her eyes, she couldn't help being a little envious.

"Then I'm leaving." Bai Ke got up, lifted his robe and smiled with him, "No need to send it off."

After Bai Ke left, Aunt Li probably got the news that Bai Yuwei was fine, and Marquis Changping finally calmed down a bit in the next few days.

After He woke up, Bai Guo closed the courtyard door of Ding Anju, and stayed inside to live her own life.

Occasionally, eunuchs from Prince Jing's Mansion would come over to bring him some food or things. Once Bai Guo asked him that he hadn't seen Eunuch Xu for a long time, and the eunuch who delivered the errands scratched his head and said that something bad happened in the court recently. There are few major events, including the return of the Zhenbei Army from a victorious battle, the Emperor Jin and Yuan attached great importance to it, and specially ordered several court ministers and several princes to prepare the celebration banquet together, so His Royal Highness King Jing has been busy in the past few days. Even the father-in-laws who accompanied him followed.

Bai Guo nodded to show he understood, but after seeing off the little eunuch, he couldn't help but think of the few words His Royal Highness King Jing said to him in the carriage that day.

"Wei Xizhou, the leader of the Zhenbei Army..."

Bai Guo whispered a few words.

In his vague memory, he finally remembered vaguely that his biological mother also seemed to have the surname Wei.

At that time, in the Great Jin Palace, Emperor Jin Yuan finished approving the last memorial, rubbed the center of his brows tiredly, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

The old eunuch next to him was standing on one side watching his nose, nose, nose and heart, and suddenly heard footsteps outside the imperial study room. It turned out that Concubine Hui brought the maids to deliver bird's nest porridge to Emperor Jin Yuan.

Speaking of which, Concubine Hui is just the daughter of a minor official, and she is one of the four concubines. This is something that no one has ever thought of before. The old eunuch, as the emperor's close servant, has often heard that this empress is very capable. , but did not expect that the other party could come forward and walk in the study relying on favor.

Turning his mind, the old eunuch lowered his eyes and walked a few steps outside before Concubine Hui stepped into the palace, saying, "This old slave pays my respects to Concubine Hui."

"Eunuch, please get up." Concubine Hui said.

Emperor Jin Yuan heard the sound of the eunuch greeting him, and opened his eyes with a slight frown: "Concubine Hui is here?"

With a smile on her face, Concubine Hui stepped into the door and said: "Today, my concubine went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager's Palace. I heard that His Majesty was too busy with government affairs to rest. Bring a bowl of bird's nest porridge to your majesty to relieve fatigue and replenish your body."

"You have a heart."

Emperor Jin Yuan raised his eyes, and the old servant beside him took the bowl of bird's nest from Concubine Hui's handmaid, and brought it to Emperor Jin Yuan after testing the poison.

Emperor Jin Yuan drank a few sips with a spoon, thinking that he hadn't stepped into the harem because he was busy with government affairs for half a month, so he said to Concubine Hui who was standing beside him: "I heard from the Queen Mother, how many dishes have you learned to cook recently? Let me go to the palace to taste your handicraft."

Concubine Hui's eyes flashed with surprise, she smiled Qiaoxi and said: "The concubine should go back and prepare now."

Emperor Jin Yuan nodded: "Yes."

It was night, and Emperor Jin Yuan turned over the brand of Concubine Hui. After dinner in Concubine Hui's palace, Concubine Hui clung to Emperor Jin Yuan and spent half the night on the bed. When Emperor Jin Yuan was about to fall asleep, he suddenly couldn't sleep on the couch. It's settled.

"What's the trouble?" Emperor Jin Yuan rubbed his forehead wearily, "Concubine Hui, do you have something on your mind?"

Concubine Hui simply stood up, and Emperor Banjin and Yuan pinched his shoulders, hesitatingly said: "Your Majesty...you really decided to give the son of the Marquis of Changping to His Royal Highness Prince Jing as a concubine?"

Emperor Jin Yuan opened his eyes with a calm expression: "Why, do you feel bad?"

"It's not bad." Concubine Hui sighed softly, "It's just that the concubine just remembered that when Concubine Shu Gui was alive, she seemed to have verbally ordered a doll marriage with her family."

"Baby dear?" Emperor Jin Yuan frowned and said, "Why didn't I hear Concubine Shu mention it."

"That's because His Royal Highness King Jing was still young at that time, and your majesty was busy with many things, and it was just a verbal promise of a marriage. How could empress Shugui say such things to you?" Concubine Hui said in a low voice. road.

"Then why did you tell me about this?" Emperor Jin Yuan glanced at her and said lightly, "I vaguely remember that the wife of the Marquis of Changping seems to be your sister. Sister's marriage?"

Concubine Hui noticed the slight displeasure in Emperor Jin Yuan's tone, and there was a lot of grievance in her eyebrows and eyes: "Your Majesty wants to make my concubine feel wronged so much. Naturally, the concubine is delighted to see His Royal Highness Prince Jing marrying the Houfu. Concubine Shu had a lot of care from the concubine during her lifetime, and the concubine just thought about the kindness of the concubine for the marriage of His Royal Highness King Jing... and felt unbearable."

After saying these words, Emperor Jin Yuan just looked at her fixedly.

Concubine Hui couldn't see what Emperor Jin Yuan was thinking, her eyes turned red in panic, she knelt down in front of the couch and said: "The concubine just suddenly remembered the old things in the past few days, if your majesty doesn't like to hear what the concubine said, just To be... just to be a concubine is to be stunned for a while."

Emperor Jin Yuan looked at her silently, and when Concubine Hui's back was dripping with cold sweat, he suddenly asked, "In the old days... which marriage did Concubine Shu verbally refer to King Jing?"

Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly there was a burst of ecstasy in her heart, but her expression was still cautious and she said: "When Concubine Shu was chatting with the concubine, she vaguely talked about Pei Xiude and the girl from Mr. Pei's family."

Emperor Jin and Yuan were thoughtful when they heard the words.

After the court dispersed on the second day, Xie Lin walked out of the main hall together with all the courtiers, but the old slave beside Emperor Jin Yuan stopped Xie Lin, saying that His Majesty invited him.

Xie Lin asked: "Your father-in-law, do you know what it is that father-emperor is looking for this king?"

The old eunuch next to Emperor Jin Yuan smiled and said: "I can't know about the matter between the Holy Majesty and the prince, but before His Majesty ordered the old slave to invite His Highness, I still used a small cup of sweet-scented osmanthus soup. This old slave can see for himself." Look, His Majesty may be in a good mood."

Xie Lin nodded.

When we got outside the imperial study room, the eunuch opened the door. Xie Lin walked in and saw Emperor Jin Yuan sitting at the front of the imperial study desk looking at a scroll, which seemed to be about several young women.

"Come here?" Emperor Jin Yuan raised his head, seeing Xie Lin was about to salute, he waved his hand away and said, "Come here and have a look, do you like the woman on this scroll?"

Xie Lin frowned when he heard this, and when he saw the scroll in Emperor Jin Yuan's hand, some memories from his previous life surged up instantly, making him clenched his fists instantly.

Although he knew in his heart which play this was coming from, Xie Lin lowered his eyes slightly, but still restrained his emotions and asked: "Father, what does this mean?"

"You don't understand what I mean?" Emperor Jin Yuan put down the scroll in his hand, raised his eyelids and said lightly, "Last time I only thought you were angry with me, so I didn't want to argue with you any more, but after all, you are My son, after much deliberation, the son of the Marquis of Changping is not a suitable candidate for your wife. Besides, I have thought about it, if you really like the son of the Marquis, you should marry him. A side concubine is also worthy, but the position of main concubine still needs a woman from a noble family to be worthy of it."

Xie Lin's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Emperor Jin Yuan: "My son does not agree."

Seeing his decisive expression, Emperor Jin Yuan also frowned: "You can't allow yourself to decide this matter. I have already checked it for you. The girl from Pei Xiude's family, the secretary of Taichang Temple, is a good girl. She has a quiet and virtuous personality. She is just right for you."

Xie Lin's expression was cold, and when he looked at Emperor Jin Yuan, his eyes were heavy: "If you like this girl from the Pei family, you might as well keep it in the harem."

"Ridiculous!" Emperor Jin Yuan was so angry at his words that he slammed his palm on the book case, causing the scroll to fall to the ground, "Do you know that this daughter of the Pei family was the one who spoke for you when your mother and concubine were still alive?" What?" He seemed to realize that his tone was a bit more intense, and recalling the scene when Concubine Shu was alive, he couldn't help but rubbed his brows, lowered his anger and said, "Lin'er, you used to be the most powerful among my sons. A filial person, why has his temperament become so obstinate now! You said that you have become like this now, how will I explain to your mother and concubine underground in a hundred years!"

"Even the people in the capital know that I have a surly and tyrannical temperament. Could it be that the emperor just knew the nature of my son and minister today?" Xie Lin sneered, and when Emperor Jin Yuan mentioned his biological mother, the expression in his eyes fluctuated violently, and he said with a sneer "Besides, you don't have to worry about my son's appearance. On the contrary, it is really absurd that you want me to marry that Pei family daughter!"

Emperor Jin Yuan's eyes were sharp: "What did you say?"

Xie Lin looked at Emperor Jin Yuan expressionlessly: "Father, do you still remember that seven years ago, there were a group of dandies in Beijing who rode their horses in the street, and accidentally ran over and killed the three-year-old second son of the Yang family?"

"There is such a thing."

Emperor Jin Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and he vaguely remembered that in the past seven years, there seemed to be such a sensational case of a son of an aristocratic family riding a horse and wounding people. The dead were the heirs of the line of Concubine Shu's family, but there seemed to be no involvement It's the Pei family.

"Then do you know that it is Pei Maocai, the eldest son of the Pei family's second household, who really hurts people with horses?" A coldness flashed in Xie Lin's eyes, and Pei Maocai's mouth at his good fourth brother's wedding banquet in the previous life repeatedly appeared in his mind The smug words that he spit out made his eyes roll with murderous intent, and he said hoarsely, "The Pei family man's lilac fire is not strong, and the eldest son of the second house of the Pei family is only a single seedling. Pei Maocai killed someone, but the rest of the dudes But he became his scapegoat. Father, tell me, if Erchen's mother and concubine know that you have given Erchen's position as the main concubine to the Pei family who killed her natal younger brother, how would you feel?"

"You are lying!" Emperor Jin Yuan stood up from the imperial desk, pointed at him and asked, "The nearly ten-year-old case, you said that the youngest son of the Yang family was killed by the Pei family, what evidence can you show? According to me As I said, even if you don't want to marry the girl from the Pei family, you don't have to make up such a lie!"

"Lies? Evidence?" Xie Lin raised his eyes, smiled suddenly, and said in a cold voice, "Since father wants evidence, I will naturally offer it myself."

The father and son broke up in the imperial study again, and Emperor Jin Yuan was also disturbed by the past events mentioned by Xie Lin, and his thoughts of changing Xie Lin's concubine were lost.

Xie Lin left the palace, his whole body exudes a cold and gloomy air.

Standing at the gate of the palace, Xie Lin closed his eyes, and said to Wang Youquan who was waiting beside the carriage: "Go to Changping Marquis Mansion to find out what the eldest son has done today."

Wang Youquan didn't dare to say a word, and after receiving the order, he went to the Marquis of Changping.

When Ding'an lived, Bai Guo was curiously watching the servants plant flowers in the yard.

The flower seeds were brought by the eunuchs of King Jing’s Mansion a few days ago, and it coincided with the day of the day, and the servants who have become diligent since they were taught by Xu Xiaoyan’s father-in-law last time, after digging the pond, they spontaneously and diligently planted them. It bloomed.

"Elder-in-law... why are you here?" Bai Guo looked up and saw Wang Youquan was being invited to walk into the yard by his servants, two dimples could not help but appear at the corners of his mouth.

Wang Youquan said with a smile: "Isn't this old slave checking on behalf of His Highness to see if Eldest Young Master is well?"

Bai Guo was already thin-skinned, and when he heard that Xie Lin had asked him to come, he blushed immediately: "Please, please trouble His Royal Highness King Jing to worry about..."

Wang Youquan smiled. He knew what kind of temperament the prince of the Hou's mansion had, so it was not difficult for him. He just asked him what he did that day in a different way, and when he learned that he had been sitting in the yard for a long time, he laughed. He opened his mouth and said: "The weather has entered autumn, although it is good to look at the sun at noon, but it will be cold after sunset, the eldest son should pay more attention on weekdays, so as not to catch cold."

Bai Guo nodded, pursed her lips and said, "Elder-in-law's words... I wrote it down."

Wang Youquan heard the words, looked at the sky, and bowed to Bai Guo again: "That's it, the servant will not bother the eldest son anymore."

Bai Guo looked at him, with a slight hesitation in his expression, but when he thought about the things that were delivered from Prince Jing's mansion in the past few days, he shouted again embarrassingly: "Wang, Wang Gonggong wait a moment."

Wang Youquan turned around, seeming suspicious.

"Wang, Eunuch Wang, wait a minute." Bai Guo walked into the room with a slightly red face, and came out with a red wooden food box after a while. He pursed his lips hesitantly, and then whispered, " ...Some pastries are a return gift to His Royal Highness King Jing."

Wang Youquan touched the food box and it was still warm, as if it had just been made, Bujin guessed with a little surprise: "This pastry, but the eldest son made it himself?"

Ginkgo nodded with a blushing face, slightly grasping the hem of the clothes with her fingers.

This food box is the bean paste cake that he tried to make in the small kitchen of Ding'anju during the day. The recipe is still the method taught to him by the immortal system. The first time he made it successfully, he only tasted one piece and thought it tasted good. He originally wanted to make some more and send them back to Prince Jing's Mansion next time he became proficient in the technique. Unexpectedly, Wang Gonggong came here first today.

So he hesitated a few times, and Bai Guo decided to send it out.

"The eldest son is really ingenious, and this old slave will definitely hand over this box of cakes to His Royal Highness Jing Wang." Wang Youquan smiled more genuinely, and said happily, "I think His Highness will like it very much."

"Will His Highness King Jing really... like it?"

Bai Guo blinked, her tightly pursed lips curved slightly, and there was a look of expectation in her eyes.
