Since entering the palace, Bai Qige has met Yaohuang once or twice. However, this is the first time that Yaohuang is angry. Those two words seem to make Yaohuang very angry and angry, and his expression becomes gloomy for a moment.
"Qige doesn't think she has any fault in this matter. If she has to say that she has, then she has committed the crime of direct remonstrance." Bai Qige raised her head in response to Yao Huang's cold and stern gaze, and acted neither humble nor arrogant, showing no fear.
In fact, Bai Qige is not worried about this. If it were any other emperor in this situation, she would definitely not say this. But the person in front of her is Emperor Yao. Although she doesn’t know him well, he has had several exchanges with her. She always believes that Emperor Yao is not a faint emperor. With his old and withered face, Although he still maintains his ambition, he probably prefers a tough and outspoken person like General O.
Just think of it as a gamble. No matter what happens, she is also the princess whom Yi Chenjing is marrying. If Yaohuang is really angry, he will not do anything to her. At most, he will think of other ways to save Zhan Ting [
After hearing that stern rebuke, Yaohuang didn't respond further for a long time. After hearing Bai Qige's firm response, he removed his livid face and turned around. The delicate glass cup was spinning around in his hand, making people dizzy.
"I read that right. She is indeed a girl with a good temper and a strong backbone." After some time, a burst of laughter broke the deadlock. Yaohuang slowly sat back in the chair. The ginseng tea that had lost its temperature finally raised his head and fell into his belly. He patted it comfortably. Chest: "It's much more comfortable now. Sit down. Don't be so nervous. I was just joking with you. Who made you perform so well that I couldn't help but want to test it out?"
Just to test her tolerance and temper, Bai Qige was angry and funny and looked at Yao Huang: "Then the Zhan Ting thing is just a joke."
"Zhan Ting... can be regarded as a young and promising prodigy. It would be a pity that he entered the palace alone and almost succeeded in assassinating me. I admire his skill and courage very much. It is a pity that he is the son of a guilty minister and has to guard against him." Recalling the past, Yao Huang I don’t think there is anything worth regretting. “His sister seems to have been kidnapped by you. I still remember that little girl was petite and thin. I saw pity for her and was very sensible. I imprisoned her to limit Zhan Ting Ping Jing’er’s friendship with him. I guess. If Jing'er keeps him by her side, wouldn't Jing'er be in danger if there is no one to threaten her?"
"That is to say, the emperor forced His Highness to break Li'er's legs for the sake of Your Highness." Anger ignited from the bottom of his heart, with a hint of sadness. Bai Qige suppressed her emotions and spoke in a low voice: "Zhan Ting and His Highness are childhood playmates, but the Emperor wants to His Highness personally hurt Zhan Ting's only relative, and it seemed that it was out of protection for His Highness. But the Emperor had never thought about how painful His Highness would be if he didn't do this. He has been blaming himself for all these years because of breaking Li'er's legs. What qualifications do you have to think about suppressing Zhan Ting to prevent him from making trouble but ignoring His Highness's mood?"
The rebuke stopped abruptly
She is careless. The person in front of her is a king. Should she mercilessly accuse Yaohuang of not being qualified to be a father? Even if Yaohuang is really not qualified, what qualifications does she have to comment on other people's family affairs and point fingers at the complicated relationships in the emperor's family? Tell yourself Qian Never be impulsive, but when I think of Yi Chenjing’s mention of Li’s childhood guilt and self-blame, I can’t calm down.
How much of everything Yi Chenjing has done so far was forced out of her?
His sufferings are known and hurt, and one can sympathize with them
Faced with Bai Qige's sudden burst of anger, Yaohuang remained silent for a long time, his eyes no longer cordial and gentle, but suddenly became dull: "Don't talk too much about things that shouldn't be your concern... I don't like self-righteous women."
With a crisp sound, the cup lid that was originally playing with Yao Huang's hand fell to the ground and broke into two parts. I don't know whether he accidentally lost his hand or deliberately intimidated him. Bai Qige lowered her head and looked at the incomplete cup lid. She remained silent and her chest heaving gradually calmed down.
"The above are the words from Qi Ge's heart. It doesn't matter whether the emperor wants to hear it or not. After all, loyal words are hard on the ears."
Yaohuang glanced sideways and said in a playful tone: "Anything you don't want to hear is a piece of advice."
"A king should make decisions about right and wrong, good and evil, good and evil." Qi Ge, a commoner girl, cannot say much. She only hopes that the emperor will be able to open up a small space in the world to sacrifice everything for your highness in terms of Zhan Ting's loyalty to his highness. Apart from the imperial concubine, I am the first person to fight in the imperial court."
"It seems that it is difficult for us to reach an agreement..." Yaohuang shook his head with emotion and waved with his forehead, "Okay, you can go. I don't want Jing'er to know what happened today. You know what to do."
What else could she do? She had to shut her mouth and pretend to be dumb. How she would treat Zhan Ting and Li'er after this unpleasant conversation never happened still had to be decided by Yaohuang. Her and Yi Chenjing's opinions were probably "only "For reference" status cannot make the final decision
Bai Qige sneered in her heart that all her good feelings for Yao Huang had been wiped out.
He bowed lightly and turned around. Before he even landed on the ground, Yao Huang's voice followed him. The question he asked was sudden and inexplicable.
"Zhan Ting is loyal to Jing'er. What can you do for Jing'er?"[
Bai Qige doesn't need to think about this problem at all: "I will try my best to do whatever it takes."
"I want to know how much you can give at all costs."
Bai Qige's steps retracted to the original position, and her thin body stood upright without moving. The two fists in her sleeves were clenched tighter. She could hear the irrefutable meaning in Yao Huang's tone, and she could feel the ungentle gaze on his back. This confidential conversation started from the beginning to the end. The whole thing is forcing her, provoking her. She should never have come if she had known this.
After a moment, he turned around and the indifferent expression on his broken face made Yaohuang appreciate it. He raised his hand and threw something into Bai Qige's arms.
"This is my Dayao Trooping Tiger Talisman. Only those who are ranked as generals can hold it. Including the piece in Jing'er's hand, the entire country only costs five yuan."
"Your Majesty should keep such an important thing. It's because Qi Ge is of low status and can't afford such a fatal thing." Bai Qi Ge stepped forward and quietly handed the tiger talisman to Yao Huang with both hands.
Emperor Yao didn't answer but returned the tiger talisman: "Why can't you pick it up? I asked you to pick it up. Is there any problem? Don't think that I don't know your origin. You married into Dayao under the name of Princess Zhaoguo but grew up in the Bai family. You are the Bai family." Yaonv is the only remaining daughter of General Bai. She is also the sister of General Bai who is now in charge of the three armies of Zhao Kingdom. If you can’t pick up this tiger talisman, then no one in Dayao can afford it.”
Bai Qige stood frozen and looked at the tiger talisman in her hand and replied.
Never in his wildest dreams did Yi Chenjing find out her identity. Yi Chenjing brought her to Yao Kingdom to torture her and claimed that she was the princess of Zhao Kingdom who was raised in the deep palace. Now Emperor Yao's tone was so sure that there was enough evidence. It was proved that she did not have any royal blood in her body. It must have been carefully investigated; and when the identity of the fake princess was revealed, her identity as the third lady of the Bai family became more than just a princess by marriage. In addition, Emperor Yao gave her this tiger charm, and she felt an ominous premonition. heart
"Bai Qige, are you willing to be my general of Guangshu?"
The majestic and rich voice was like a huge boulder above her head, making Bai Qige breathless. The tiger charm in her hand seemed to have been burned in the fire and was so hot that she wanted to throw it away and smash it to pieces.
The General of Guangshu is an important military position second only to the General in the military system of the Far Country. The General of Guangshu has a very fixed and unchangeable mission. He will protect the Far Far away frontier or die on the battlefield or die in the frontier without returning.
This is obviously... forcing her to separate from Yi Chenjing
Her face, which was not rosy in the first place, suddenly turned pale. She couldn't control herself and took half a step back. Bai Qi's singer trembled and the tiger charm fell to the ground.
A cough seemed to remind Bai Qige that she had lost her temper. She picked up the tiger talisman with her wrinkled palm and placed it on the round table. Yaohuang didn't even look at the tiger talisman, and smiled as if nothing had happened: "This is a good thing for you, the Bai family." We have been generals for generations. Both men and women are top-notch heroes on the battlefield. It would be detrimental to the Bai family's reputation to be married to a woman. Although General Garrison is ranked below the general, he actually has power and power that is not inferior to that of the general. Even though the status may not sound as loud as the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies of Zhao Kingdom, it is often an important position that will go down in history.”
"Does the Emperor want me to lead the troops to guard the border and become a white-haired prince who dies outside the palace?" Bai Qige raised her lips with a vague smile that was filled with air-conditioning. "This kind of grace is what Qi Ge understands. It's just that Qi Ge has not liked swords and swords since she was a child." I don’t know anything about arranging troops, and now I just want to be a peaceful wife by His Highness’s side and ask the Emperor to grant my permission.”
"My eyes and ears are still useful now that I'm older. Xiao Baishan told me everything you did during the Northern March. Do you still want to say that you can't bear the heavy responsibility? But since you said you are interested in the position of general, I I can't force you, so I have to give you two choices." After a pause, Yaohuang's deep eyes burst out with a few glimmers of light, "Should I become a general of Guangshu to guard the border and guard the territory for Dayao from now on, and make further achievements for the Bai family, or should I give it up? It’s your choice to become a concubine with a low status as a prince and concubine.”
Yaohuang's voice was not loud, but it exploded like thunder in Bai Qige's ears. His thin body shook for a while before he managed to stand still.
Bai Qige hoped that she had heard wrong or that Emperor Yao had said it wrong. She had not made any mistakes. Why should she be stripped of her status as a princess? She was Yi Chenjing's wife and she had vowed to stay together for the rest of her life. The only woman in this world was her. What kind of prince is he who was abolished for no reason like this? A prince must have a concubine. One day, Emperor Yao will force Yi Chenjing to get married and establish a concubine... Their oath, their agreement, she has devoted all her efforts for a long time, isn't it? Destroyed by external forces
If Yi Chenjing's great career is uncertain and he loses her again amid hardships and ups and downs, who else can stay with him through the most frustrating days?
"I won't choose either one." Bai Qige almost bit her lower lip with her teeth and the pain made her quickly regain her composure. There was a little more determination in her words, "If the emperor is still testing my loyalty to His Highness, then this drama can be over, no matter what happens." I will never give up my promise to stay away from His Highness; if the Emperor really wants me to stay away from His Highness, then please give me a reason that is enough to convince me, otherwise I will persist until the end."
After saying that, Bai Qige turned around and left without hesitation [
There are some things that you can't escape, you can't hide, even if you have to face the edge of a knife, it's inevitable. And now she is on the cusp of such a storm. She has no chance of recovery; there is still a glimmer of hope. In this case, why should she care about the emperor's orders? Do what she should do. Just fine
Accompany that person until the end of the world, until the sea is gone, or until there is no room for the two of them in the world, just sleep together in the same cave. Nothing can change her mind and choose to leave.
