At the same time, an uninvited guest came to Fengyang Palace, Bailirou's bedroom.
Bailirou was sitting in the pavilion, her usual gentle smile was gone, her brows were slightly colder, she pursed her lips and looked at Bailiqi in front of her.
Baili Qi smiled softly and naturally picked up the wine glass on the table. The maid behind him immediately stepped forward to pour wine for him.
"Going to the Prime Minister's Mansion again?" He took a sip and put down the golden cup, raised his eyes and looked at Bailirou with a smile.
Bailirou's expression flashed, and she didn't directly answer his words, but asked: "Brother, why are you here in such a leisurely manner?"
"Of course I came to see you. After all, we are brothers and sisters. The emperor naturally loves you." Baili Qi shook his sleeves and said casually.
"Thank you, brother." Bailirou responded calmly.
Looking at his gentle and dignified sister, Baili Qi praised: "The emperor's sister is the most favored among all the princesses. The mother-in-law also loves you, but she is much better than the emperor's brother."
His sister was strictly trained by her mother and concubine since she was a child. Her words and deeds have been strictly trained. She is also quite talented and is truly unparalleled in her erotic skills.
His conduct and style are exemplary, otherwise he would not be known as one of the best in Beijing alongside Mu Qingyan.
Baili softened her hands, raised her eyes and looked at him quietly, "What does the emperor want to say?"
"My sister is really smart." Baili Qi suddenly leaned close to her, and the latter subconsciously avoided her.
She doesn't like to be too close to this royal brother, even if he is her own brother.
Baili Qi looked at her for a while before sitting down again, playing with the golden cup in his hand and said casually, "You have reached the age to get married. In the early years, your father proposed marriage for you, but you rejected it."
He turned his head, cast his scrutinizing eyes on her, and said clearly: "Sister, listen to the emperor's advice and don't have those unrealistic ideas anymore. The Mu family is a thorn in the father's side."
That Laozi Muxuan is impossible with her.
Bailirou's hand on her waist tightened suddenly. After a moment, she looked calm and retorted: "Brother, the emperor must also listen to Rou'er's advice. Qingyan and the prince are engaged to each other. Brother, the emperor,
Just stop being entangled and stop it!"
The last sentence contained sincerity, and a trace of unbearability flashed in her eyes. After all, he was her brother from the same mother, and she didn't want to see him continue to make mistakes.
With a clang, the golden cup hit the table, and she stared blankly at his gloomy gaze.
Baili Qi sneered, and for a moment, he twitched the corner of his mouth, his eyes glowing with a cold light, and said coldly: "Then what kind of ecstasy soup did the Mu family pour into you? Rou'er, don't forget, you are a princess of a country with a double surname.
Hundreds of miles.”
Not the one with the surname Mu from the general family.
Bailirou pursed her lips tightly, and after a long while she spoke word by word: "Brother, do you want to steal someone from the prince?"
The prince and the emperor have been fond of Qing Yan for a long time. Even though Qing Yan had a crush on the emperor before, she can see that Qing Yan no longer likes the emperor.
When there were rumors that Qing Yan was deliberately framed, she began to doubt her royal brother.
"Bailirou!" Bailiqi suddenly slapped the table, causing her and the maid behind her to tremble. Seeing the panic and disbelief flashing through her eyes, his expression softened.
He looked at her and smiled softly, "You'd better leave this matter alone. You are my sister, not the prince's. I am your biological brother."
Baili Qi pretended to be distressed and stretched out his hand to comfort her, but Bailirou dodged her. He retracted his hand with a focused look, and suddenly laughed, "Look, I scared you so much. How could the emperor be willing to hurt you? It's just that
You stand on the prince's side so openly, but those who don't know think you are brothers and sisters."
Although he said this, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Bailirou didn't say anything anymore, and the atmosphere was a little depressing for a while.
Baili Qi didn't want to stay any longer, "Brother, I still have something to do." He stood up and took two steps before turning back. He looked at her and said meaningfully: "I heard that the eldest prince of Longyue Kingdom is very talented and has great martial arts, but he has arrived.
You are of marriageable age but you don’t have a decent princess yet. My dear sister, you are not young anymore, it’s time to think about getting married.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked away without looking at Bailirou's shocked expression.
The personal maid behind him immediately stepped forward, looked worriedly at the princess who had not yet recovered, and whispered: "Princess?"
Bailirou recovered from the shock and saw the golden cup in front of her suddenly picked up and was about to drop it.
The palace maid immediately stopped her: "Princess, no! If the princess falls, then His Highness's wishes will be fulfilled."
After hearing these words, Bailirou paused and looked up at the cup tightly held in his hand. He breathed quickly and his face turned a little red. He was obviously angry.
She wants to fall but can't. As a princess, she is really limited in every way!
After a while, she slowly collected it and put the cup back to its original place, feeling depressed.
"Princess...are you okay?" the palace maid asked cautiously, feeling that her heart was almost in her throat.
Bailirou shook her head feebly, losing her previous elegance and dignity, "Isn't this princess very useless?"
"The princess is the most outstanding woman in the capital, but His Highness really shouldn't treat the princess like this. If the noble concubine knew about it, she would feel distressed." The palace maid looked distressed. She has served the princess since she was a child, and she will be consistent with whatever the princess's temperament is.
Clearly.
Mother concubine...
Bailirou smiled bitterly, with sadness in her eyes. Her mother-in-law still preferred the emperor's brother. To her, she was just an outstanding princess, just a bargaining chip that could make her position in the harem more stable.
Just now, the emperor brother was clearly threatening her not to interfere in the Mu family's affairs with the marriage issue.
Recalling Baili Qi's words in her mind, she laughed at herself, saying that she had great martial arts skills and a dignified appearance.
The eldest prince, Long Yue, was the son of a deposed queen. He had a violent and unpredictable temper. It was said that he had endless tricks and would do anything to fight for the throne.
If she was really sent to marry him, her life would be ruined.
"A woman is a woman after all, and she can't make her own decisions." She was born with only one purpose, which was to consolidate imperial power, and she had no choice at all.
Even though her father loved her very much, she still had to send him out after all. It was just a matter of time.
Bailirou looked a little sad. Looking at the scenery outside the pavilion, she unconsciously thought of Mu Qingyan. She was also a woman, but at least she was protected by the Mu family, including her brother Mu Xuan, the old prince, and the prince in the future.
Royal brother.
Perhaps because of the influence of family tradition, Qingyan is much more determined than she is, and he also has things she doesn't have.
But what about her...
Bitterness spread from her heart, the person she liked didn't like her...
Thinking of that gentle yet distant figure, Bailirou couldn't help but sigh.
