Chapter 70
Qi Xiao expected it well. The next day, the emperor indeed summoned Bai Ren.
When the emperor saw Bai Ren, he was not as mobilized as Qi Xiao that day. He just asked Fu Hailu to stop him when Bai Ren came out of the Huixin Academy.
"No need to be polite, give it to you." The emperor smiled, "Yesterday, the Xue family paid some tribute to them. I remember that you love tea, so I asked them to leave some for you, Fu Hailu..."
Fu Hailu came forward with a small tray. There were two small porcelain bottles with gold-painted colours on it, with beeswax seals on it. They were wrapped tightly. It was obviously the best one. Bai Ren stood up and respectfully worshiped: "Thank you for the reward of the emperor."
The emperor smiled gently: "It's fine if you like it, get up, Fu Hailu, go and make some tea for Bai Ren to taste it." Fu Hailu bowed and smiled: "I know the prince is coming, and today I'm brewing yellow teeth." Fu Hailu said as he turned around and took the tea cup held by the little eunuch behind him and personally served Bai Ren. Unexpectedly, when he walked to Bai Ren's hand, his hand suddenly shook. The tea cup was about to splash on Bai Ren's cuff. Bai Ren's eyes darkened and he immediately avoided it. With a "bang", the cup of broken tea flowed.
The emperor frowned and looked at Fu Hailu with dissatisfaction. Fu Hailu felt guilty and kept apologizing. Bai Ren said lightly: "It's okay, the tea I just brewed is too hot, and my father-in-law didn't take it firmly, so there is one."
Fu Hailu kowtowed repeatedly: "The slaves lose their manners in front of the slaves' palace, and the slaves deserve to die, and the slaves deserve to die."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Okay, why don't you change a cup of tea?" Fu Hailu then got up and hurriedly brought another cup of tea to serve Bairen. Bairen took it steadily, tasted it and lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, the emperor, Huoshan Huangya, it is indeed worthy of its reputation."
Before he succeeded, the emperor felt a little impatient, but his face remained unchanged. He smiled and said, "It's a pity that the weather is not good this year. Although the tea made from snow water is bright in color, it is less sweet."
Bai Ren lowered his head: "Yes, fortunately, the flaws do not conceal the merits. Tea is excellent, and the cooking temperature is right, which is already rare."
To outsiders, Bai Ren always looked humble and polite, but very alienated. The emperor punched several times into the cotton and became more and more patient. He gave Fu Hailu a wink. Fu Hailu understood and took everyone in the hall down.
"When it comes to this tea... I heard that the prince often invites you to go to his mansion to cook tea for him, but is there any such thing?" The emperor shook his head and smiled, "I, the prince... I have been favored by me since I was a child, and I can't help but be a little arrogant. Even though I am not an outsider, I can't help but bother you to do these things."
The Bairen face moved, as if it had touched the mind. A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and then he turned his head away. When he raised his head, he was still as calm as before. The emperor chuckled in his heart, and he really guessed it.
Bai Ren put down the teacup and whispered: "The emperor is so serious. It's a trivial matter, and it's not a problem."
The emperor sighed: "No need to cover up for him. No one knows his son is better than his father. I know the temper of the prince. I am the best. I am not forgiven and domineering. If I am in the same department as him, I will inevitably be angry with him. You are different from others. The dignified prince, I don't care if he bullies others on weekdays. If he makes you suffer grievances, I must give you justice."
The emperor was confident that Bai Ren was a smart person and he had already said this, but he didn't believe Bai Ren couldn't understand it.
Bai Ren hesitated slightly and said sadly for a while: "Thank you for your care, the prince is very polite to me and has never let me suffer any grievances."
The emperor only thought Bai Ren was scared by Qi Xiao, so he did not dare to say more, so he comforted softly: "You don't have to be afraid of him. With me here, no one can bully you, just like Hua in the past
My son hurts you, the first one I will punish you first. My children... are all good at heart, but they are bad because they all have bad tempers and must always beat you up."
Bai Ren's lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything and whispered: "The emperor is too worried."
The emperor smiled and said, "That's good. Xiao'er is not like Hua'er. It's not important. Since I can feel relieved... By the way, what books have you been reading recently? You haven't been to the Education Institute for many days because of Roujia's affairs, and the Taifu has not given me your homework. You are only busy preparing for the wedding, but have you pulled the book down?"
The emperor changed his subject and stopped mentioning the previous matters. He started taking the exam for Bai Ren's homework. After asking for a while, he praised him again, so that he could send him a good student out.
"Emperor." After sending Bai Ren away, Fu Hailu came in to apologize. "It was all slaves who were not good at it, and they failed... it was all slaves who were faulty."
The emperor shook his head: "It's okay... Bai Ren had no intention of complaining. You just succeeded and let Bai Ren reveal the traces, and he would also ask for excuses."
Fu Hailu didn't understand and frowned and said, "The prince is a bad-hearted person and does not like to make friends with others. Why do he treat the prince differently? He has become the prince's favor and refuses to say it out loud, this..."
The emperor smiled strangely: "It's not that he refuses to say it, it's that he dare not say it."
Fu Hailu was puzzled: "The emperor means..."
"You didn't see it just now. When I mentioned Qi Xiao, Bai Ren's eyes were full of hatred. The prince of the king asked Qi Xiao to rub it like this. There was no regret. I was careless before. I didn't see that the marriage between Roujia and He Zichen was clearly a deal between Qi Xiao and Bai Ren."
Fu Hailu then realized it and said silently: "So it is... the prince used the county chief to hold the prince?"
The emperor nodded: "Roujia married into the He family, which is equivalent to entering Qi Xiao's palm. He Zichen was promoted by Qi Xiao. The higher Qi Xiao can hold him, the more ruthless he can fall. Roujia's future life is in Qi Xiao's hands, so how dare Bai Ren provoke him?"
Fu Hailu was a little anxious: "If the prince was taking care of the princess or his own face, he gritted his teeth and refused to say it... how would the emperor punish the prince's crime?"
The emperor smiled and said, "Don't worry... I don't need to take action. Do you still remember what happened in the side hall? Hua'er just sarcastically said a few words to him. Bai Ren made such a big noise. I wish I could kill Hua'er and be satisfied. It's been a year since he has always been rude to Hua'er. Can such a revenge be tolerant of Qi Xiao riding on him for the rest of his life?"
The emperor leaned leisurely on the crooked pillow and said confidently: "Looking at Bai Ren's expression, I know that sooner or later, he will do it better than I openly condemn Qi Xiao for his own sake. Look... Only a thousand days of thieves, no one who has a thousand days of defense against thieves. As long as Qi Xiao has a flaw in the future, Bai Ren will definitely fight back to death to avenge today. What do I do? Just take advantage of the fisherman."
Fu Hailu thought for a while and said, "If the King of Lingnan knows, I am afraid that I will blame the Imperial City for deliberately defeating their prince. They have never finished it with a reason. If they know..."
The emperor smiled faintly: "So I called Bai Ren here today. I have asked him if the prince bullied him. He said he was nothing wrong. Even if he suffered a loss, he would not blame me. I was willing to stand up for him, but he would not let me help him, and he would cover it up for Qi Xiao. Who is this strange?"
Fu Hailu suddenly realized and quickly flattered: "The emperor is really a good plan. This not only blocks everyone's mouths, but also uses the prince and Lingnan to kill the prince. It's amazing."
The emperor chuckled: "What's so amazing? It's just a leverage. I'm sorry, Bai Ren... I'm a good child, but I'm just getting involved with Qi Xiao. It's a pity..."
That night, Bai Ren, who was "a pity" in the prince's mansion, lay in Qi Xiao's arms, smiled and told Qi Xiao all the things that happened in the Qing palace during the day. Bai Ren smiled cunningly: "I deliberately pretended to hate you, but I was afraid that people would see it. The emperor's eyes lit up. I really thought he had seen my thoughts, haha... He kept seducing me and wanted me to tell him, and I pretended to be like hesitant, and the emperor believed it."
Qi Xiao leaned on the square pillow of the Arhat bed and smiled and listened to Bai Ren's muttering to himself. He heard that he gently rubbed Bai Ren's head and said, "Silly thing, he really wants you to complain. Didn't I tell you the day before yesterday? It won't be very good for him to make trouble now. He wants to cover this small sore into a big hidden disease. Fortunately, he can uproot me in the future..."
Bai Ren frowned: "What's uprooted... There's no taboo to speak."
Qi Xiao quickly apologized: "Yes, okay, now I know what the emperor wants, it's not easy to deal with. He wants to drag it, so let's drag it, not mention it, it's better. Not to mention this anymore, the day after tomorrow will be Roujia's wedding day. How are you preparing?"
Bairen nodded: "Everything should be prepared is ready. Fortunately, Princess Dunsu is in charge of it, otherwise I will not be able to handle it clearly."
Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "You are not familiar with the wedding and funeral events for the first time. In the future, you will be able to get started with Roujia's children's full moon banquet and hundreds of days of gifts."
Qi Xiao's words were just about to enter Bai Ren's heart, Bai Ren smiled: "That's right, I will be my uncle after waiting for a year or two."
Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Like children?"
Bairen nodded: "I saw my aunt bringing my cousin before. When I was a child, I was really fun, soft and cute."
Qi Xiao smiled, turned over and pressed against Bai Ren, and lowered his voice: "If you like it... I'll give you one to your husband..."
