Chapter 25 Never mind, you don’t understand
Zhang Chengyan did not go in, but continued to stay outside the door and listen quietly.
Bai Wutong's clear and pleasant voice rang out, "Thank you, Queen Mother. It is my honor to be valued by you."
How come it’s an honor not to be able to sleep with me?
He is the emperor, and there is nothing in this world that he cannot get.
The more Bai Wutong said this, the more he wanted to get it.
Inside the palace, Bai Wutong was still trying hard to show his loyalty when he heard footsteps outside.
She turned around, her gentle smile frozen on her face, "Your Majesty!"
Zhang Chengyan gave her a meaningful look and bowed to the Queen Mother, "Your Highness, your son greets you."
Bai Wutong's face turned pale, and she stood up in panic, "Your concubine... Your concubine will take her leave first."
When she thought that her words were heard by the emperor, she could no longer suppress the pain in her heart and staggered out.
The empress dowager coughed lightly. It was good to hear it. In this way, the emperor would definitely dislike Bai Wutong.
Which man can accept his woman saying such words?
It turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
"I heard that the Queen Mother was in a bad mood, but is Fubao making trouble again?"
The Queen Mother smiled helplessly, "That's right. I don't know if Fubao is in a bad mood. He always makes trouble for no reason. Look at everything in my palace. I have changed it all. If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would have been taken to the Ministry of Punishment for a good discipline."
"I have specially asked Wang Decai to find a troupe outside the palace and have them come in tomorrow. I heard there is a famous actor in the troupe who is very popular among the people. Maybe the queen mother will like it."
The Queen Mother is now enjoying her retirement, and has nothing to do every day except worrying about who sleeps with her in bed.
She has always liked listening to music, but the previous troupe made a mistake and actually fell in love with a certain concubine, so she killed them all.
"I like it, but if what happened before happens again..."
Zhang Chengyan didn't care at all. "It's okay. I carefully selected the people this time. There will definitely be no more trouble."
The Queen Mother no longer refused, "Okay, then let's do as the Emperor says. Let them in tomorrow. I have nothing to do, so it would be nice to listen to some music."
Zhang Chengyan stood up and said goodbye.
Wang Decai followed behind him in small steps, "Your Majesty, when will the troupe be allowed into the palace tomorrow?"
"Hurry up, and let them in as soon as the palace gates open tomorrow. These are the ones I personally selected for my mother, I hope they won't disappoint me."
Wang Decai lowered his head, mourning for the Queen Mother in his heart.
There is one person in this troupe who looks very similar to the late emperor when he was young. It would be fine if the empress dowager is not tempted, but if she is, it will be the biggest scandal in the palace!
No matter who has the support behind the Queen Mother, they can’t protect her!
"Where's the White Beauty?"
Wang Decai had been staring at her just now. "Mrs. Bai has left. I saw her crying just now."
Zhang Chengyan felt much better. "This little girl has always loved me, but she has to do this because of her mother. She is wronged. Go and give her something, but don't let the queen mother know."
"Yes, I will do it right away."
Outside Xueqiong Garden.
Xiao Ningzi was busy when she saw Bai Wutong's face full of tears. She was frightened and said, "My lady, what happened to you?"
"It's okay." Bai Wutong wanted to laugh, but she couldn't stop crying. She could only lower her head and walk in.
Xiao Ningzi stood on tiptoe and looked inside. Although she could no longer see anyone, she seemed to still hear the soft sobbing.
The moon is at its zenith, and its silver light looks like water.
Xiao Ningzi lived outside the palace and did not rest the whole night.
The sobbing sound had been going on all night and it was really heartbreaking.
He got up and found Wang Decai, "Master, didn't you tell me to tell you in time if there was any news from the Empress?"
"Yeah, what happened, did something happen to Bai Meiren?"
Xiao Ningzi nodded, "The queen came back yesterday with tears all over her face. I asked her but she didn't say anything. She even cried all night last night. She was so sad."
Wang Decai knew what was going on immediately. "Well done. Go back and remember to tell me if you have any more news."
After sending Xiao Ningzi away, he walked into the Yangxin Palace cautiously, "Your Majesty, let me warm the tea for you."
Zhang Chengyan ignored him and continued to review the memorials in his hand. Today, news came from southern Xinjiang that Jin Zhi was extremely brave and led his soldiers to recapture a city, and victory was imminent. According to calculations, he will probably return to Beijing to report on his work at the end of this month.
In this case, Jin Zhi has made a great contribution, and it would be a bit inappropriate to keep Jin Weige locked up.
"Wang Decai, Jin Zhi has made great contributions. Rong Fei no longer needs to be confined to her house."
"Yes." Seeing that the emperor was no longer immersed in the memorial, he spoke, "Xiao Ningzi came just now and said that Lady Bai cried all night last night."
Zhang Chengyan raised his eyebrows, "Cry if you want. Since you have entered the palace, you are my person. How dare you say that you want to live out your life alone? Just crying for one night is a small punishment. Have you delivered your things?"
"Not yet. It's still early. I'll have someone deliver it later."
"Then add another glass cup, go ahead."
Just as Wang Decai was about to leave, Zhang Chengyan stood up and said, "Forget it, you go with me in person."
It was a good opportunity for him to see what such a delicate person would look like after crying all night.
Outside Xueqiong Garden.
When Xiao Ningzi saw that the emperor had come in person, he was about to pay his respects, but Zhang Chengyan waved his hand, signaling him to be quiet.
As soon as I stepped in, I heard faint sobbing.
"Empress, please stop crying and open your eyes." By the pond, Lianxin stood beside Bai Wutong with a handkerchief in her hand, feeling very anxious. The Empress did not tell her what had happened, which made her worried.
Bai Wutong's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and even her nose was red. She took the handkerchief, "Lianxin, I always thought that after entering the palace, even if I couldn't sleep with the emperor, I would be happy to see him. But now that I have seen the emperor, I am greedy and want more. No wonder others say that love can hurt people a lot. As expected, I feel like my heart is about to die of pain."
Lian Xin's face changed slightly, "My Lady, could it be that the Emperor is disgusted with you?"
This is troublesome. If they really dislike them, their lives will be difficult in the future.
Bai Wutong shook his head and said nothing, "Forget it, you don't understand, go out first, I want to be alone."
"Yes." Lianxin thought about her loss of favor and left absent-mindedly.
Bai Wutong picked a flower and said, "I don't know where the love comes from, but it is so deep..."
A deep voice sounded beside my ears, "So Lady Bai likes me so much. If that's the case, can you be alone for the rest of your life?"
