Chapter 4 Section 90 The policy of concubine change
When I returned to my own mansion, I really wanted to cry. The huge house was not popular at all. Haha, wasn't life like this in the past? My father is an ancient researcher and often travels on business, and my mother is also busy with work.
Matters in the physical and chemical laboratory.
But I'm just not used to it now.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, go to bed this morning and think about how to help Bai Yueyao avoid the marriage tomorrow morning. After all, that is the most important thing...
Early the next morning, I changed into court clothes and went to court with a plan in mind. Bai Riyuan stopped me at the entrance of the court.
"Lan Hanlin."
"See the First Prince."
"Lan Hanlin, how are you planning for my second emperor brother's concubine selection?" Bai Riyuan's words are still so amiable, but the more he behaves like this, the more annoyed I am.
I smiled slightly, just to reassure Bai Riyuan: "Don't worry, I know that the emperor loves the second prince, so I will ensure that the emperor is satisfied." This sentence is a bit smooth, but I don't have any strength now.
There was a head-on conflict with Bai Riyuan, so I could only pretend to be dumbfounded. What I reported later would definitely go against the eldest prince's wishes, so what I said earlier was nothing more than an important talisman for myself.
I don't like eating things inside and outside, but now I have to make Bai Riyuan think that I am loyal to him.
Bai Riyuan and I walked into the court chatting and laughing. When Bai Yueyao saw me and Bai Riyuan entering, he glared at me and turned his head away.
"The Emperor has arrived."
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." All the ministers of the imperial court paid homage to the emperor. After the emperor sat on the dragon chair, he stood up and announced his death.
"Lan Aiqing."
"I'm here." After hearing the emperor's audience, I stepped forward and waited for the emperor to continue speaking.
"How did you handle the second prince's choice of concubine?"
"Your Majesty, before I report to you about the selection of my concubine, I would like to clear the air first. Moreover, there is one more thing I want to test the Emperor about."
"Bold!!" It was Prime Minister Zi who was startled again. I'm used to it now.
"It's okay. Zi Aiqing, please step aside. Lan Aiqing, tell me how you want to test me?"
"Well, I would like to ask, if there is a race between a stallion and a wild horse, and the wild horse wins, who is more powerful, between the stallion and the wild horse?" After I finished speaking, the entire hall burst into laughter, with only three princes showing expressions.
There was no change, and the emperor also smiled slightly.
"Of course the Mustang is more powerful."
"Then I don't understand. Why is a famous stallion called a famous stallion despite having no strength?" This time no one laughed after I asked, but Bai Yueyao smiled slightly. Could it be that he understood?
Isn’t the purpose of my asking this question?
"Because of a good background." The emperor answered without thinking.
"Oh? Then Your Majesty, I dare to hope that Your Majesty can change the system of selecting concubines for the second prince." After I finished speaking, I knelt on the ground.
"Lan Aiqing, what do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, the concubines in the concubine selection system all come from the five major families, and they are like famous stallions, while the daughters of other common people are like wild horses. Wild horses may not be worse than famous stallions, Your Majesty!"
"Hey Lan Hanlin, do you mean to say that my daughter is a horse?" Mrs. Hong walked up to me angrily and questioned me.
"Teacher Hong, I don't mean this. I'm just making a metaphor. If Taifu Hong thinks that way, there's nothing I can do about it." I looked at Taifu Hong pitifully.
I was looking at Taifu Hong’s face. He was extremely angry. This time I can do it. After offending Prime Minister Zi, I offended Taifu Hong again. Hey!
"you……!"
"That's enough. Let's ask the second emperor what he wants about choosing a concubine." After the emperor finished speaking, the emperor and I looked at Bai Yueyao, who walked out expressionlessly.
"Father, my son and ministers will be fine no matter what!"
...After what Bai Yueyao said, it broke my heart and made me so angry. In order to help him, I even offended Master Hong, but in the end, when he got better, he left an irreconcilable sentence?
I glared at Bai Yueyao fiercely, but he still turned a blind eye and retreated to the table.
I don’t know what this bastard Yueyao’s mental plan is!
