General's Good Friday

Although Bai lived in the General's Mansion for several months and had seen riches and honors, it was his first time to go to a place like the Imperial Palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor and many other people who had only been heard in legends before. The relatives of the royal family even heard the Lord Weng say that His Majesty the Emperor might ask himself something later, so he inevitably felt a little anxious in his heart. Sitting in the car with the general, he was nervous all the way. He clenched the general's sleeves tightly, his palms sweating.

The general saw that his face was pale and nervous, so he patted his hand and comforted him: "Don't worry, Your Majesty is very kind, and there is me, there is nothing to be nervous about."

Xiaobai raised his head and looked at him, that look reminded the general of a shivering deer in the paddock, innocent and innocent, but also nervous, making people feel pity.

The general's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly tried to breathe and stabilize his mind.

He thought to himself, really can't pamper the young man too much, aside from the consequences of making the young man more obsessed with himself and unable to extricate himself, the look of dependence and admiration he shows to himself from time to time is really a test of his determination and integrity ah!

He hastily touched the boy's head as if to cover up, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaoyang will help you!"

vomit……

Before Xiaobai could respond, the general was disgusted by himself.

Emperor Jingming was very happy today. He spread invitations widely and invited more than 200 people from the imperial family. The queen bet with him that some people would definitely not come, for example, the wife bought by General Hushi's family for one tael of silver. But Emperor Jing Ming firmly believed in his character and authority, and bravely accepted the bet of one tael of silver.

And today, it turns out, he was right.

The empress was full of regret, but with some expectation, she handed over a small piece of silver to Emperor Jing Ming, and smiled gracefully: "I have to take a good look at myself, a lady who is so generous and generous as General Meng, What kind of person is it?"

Emperor Jing Ming was very disdainful, what kind of good person can he buy for a tael of silver?

Seeing the imperial palace for the first time, Xiaobai was extremely nervous. The grandeur and grandeur of the palaces was far inferior to that of the General's Mansion. They got off the car in front of a palace gate, and Xiaobai quietly looked around. , There are many such carriages parked here, which seems to be the place where the nobles who enter the palace get off collectively.

They happened to meet a few elegantly dressed nobles, and the Lord Weng skillfully chatted with them, and after a few words, those people naturally brought the topic to the general and the "madame".

The general smiled, put his arms around Xiaobai, and greeted them calmly.

"Xiaobai, come here, this is Master Wei, Duke of Zhen, this is Lord Kaiyang, ah, and the son of Duke of Zhen." After the general said hello, he introduced them to Xiaobai one by one.

Xiaobai asked each one honestly, and the two elders responded with scrutinizing smiles, but when it was the son's turn, he saw the beautiful young man with red lips and white teeth smiling strangely at him.

"My name is Wei Yanzhi." The prince stared at him and said.

Xiaobai was startled, but soon smiled slightly: "Ruan Xiaobai, it's really a blessing for three lives to get to know your son."

The prince glanced at the general, with no expression on his face, but a trace of contempt in his eyes: "You are lucky to be able to climb up to Brother Meng."

Xiaobai's heart moved, a thought flashed through his mind quickly, he took the remark, took the general's arm, nodded and said: "Your Majesty is right, the next commoner, what a virtue and ability..."

As he spoke, he blushed and secretly looked at the general.

The general's face became hot, and he saw that the son was looking at him for no reason, but his eyes were a little unkind. He felt baffled in his heart, so he laughed at Duke Zhen with a haha: "Well, it's getting late, logic, Why don't you go in first, Uncle Wei?"

Duke Zhen also felt that his son, who had always been eccentric, was a little rude today. Hearing this, he happily urged his son to leave first.

The prince was still "swooshing" at the general and Xiaobai, when he heard Mr. Kaiyang say to Zhenguo: "Xiaoyang's daughter-in-law looks pretty, she speaks and acts well, she doesn't look like a man. Wife, she looks like a young son of a family."

There was nothing wrong with Zhen Guogong, he nodded in agreement, and answered "yes" twice.

The prince was upset and said angrily, "What's the 'little son of the family'? It's just a roadside thing bought for a tael of silver! A person like an ant is also worthy of Brother Meng?"

They went far away, although Shizi's voice was loud, the general and his party behind did not hear these words, but Xiaobai still stared at Shizi's vague back, thoughtfully.

Master Weng shook the latest gilt enamel color palace yarn jade butterfly round fan carefully, and praised Xiaobai's performance just now while walking: "It's not bad, the previous etiquette is not in vain."

Xiaobai came back to his senses, and smiled shyly: "Thank you mother for teaching."

The general silently glanced at his arm that was tightly held by the young man. It seemed that his entire arm was rubbing against the young man's body as he walked. stand up.

Xiaobai followed the general through one palace gate after another, and finally arrived in front of the Chongwen Palace. He stared wide-eyed at the majestic and magnificent palace, and the people coming and going, all dressed in neat palace attire, were all painted and powdered. People feel as if they have come to a fairyland, like falling into a dream.

The general looked at his silly appearance with amused expression, pinched his face while no one was paying attention, and said with a smile, "Hey, you're back to your senses! Why are you so dazed?"

Xiaobai blushed, and whispered: "I... I haven't seen it before..."

That tone was a bit coquettish, which made the general's heart flutter again, thinking that this was outside, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the young man was just accompanying him to perform this "harmony between husband and wife" scene, and he quickly gathered his mind.

And I have to cooperate a bit to do this scene well.

As soon as she entered the palace, the Lord Weng left the general and the others and went to chat with her good sisters by herself. The general brought Xiaobai by himself, and was surrounded by troublemakers who came to strike up a conversation. He walked to his seat.

The general graciously let Xiaobai sit down first, and was about to talk to him about the banquet in detail, when in a blink of an eye, he was shocked to see Princess Zhaode, who was dressed in fiery red, striding towards him.

The general kept his composure and turned around silently, trying to pretend he didn't see anything, but it was already too late. The princess's loud voice sounded behind him: "Ouch! Hussar general! Where's your wife?"

The general quickly moved his body a little bit, but he didn't block the princess's sharp eyes. He turned his head slightly, and saw the young man in brocade clothes who was looking at him timidly behind the general.

"His Royal Highness... the eldest princess is well," the general yelled in his heart, but he had no choice but to turn around and salute obediently, and let Xiaobai take a step forward, "Xiaobai, this is the eldest princess Zhaode, hurry up and salute."

"I've seen Your Highness the Eldest Princess." Xiaobai had heard the name of the princess for a long time, and after saluting, he thought that this beautiful and noble woman had almost become the general's real wife, and felt a little unspeakable in his heart for a while.

Seeing that the eldest princess looked him up and down carefully, she suddenly laughed with a "puchi" and said: "Such a delicate and lovely young man, General Hussar, look at you, you are so rough and thick, Feel free to do it!"

The eldest princess has always looked down on the general, and she has never been afraid to smear him with the greatest malice in her words. Xiaobai raised his head and looked at the general. He only thought that the general was tall and handsome, with a handsome face, and "rough skin and thick flesh". It had nothing to do with it, so he stared blankly at the eldest princess, not understanding why she made such slanderous words.

The general himself knew it well, so he could only apologize and said with a smile: "The princess is joking, joking..."

But the eldest princess said: "Don't you stop laughing at me, look at you, you are full of spring, these days, don't you hug your wife to nourish yourself?"

Hearing this, Xiaobai's face immediately flushed red, even the general's face was full of embarrassment. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at many royal relatives and relatives who were watching the fun around here, and couldn't help lamenting that his life was miserable On a big Buddha like the eldest princess.

The eldest princess said again: "But I look at the little lady, she looks very pretty, I like it... Hey, little lady, do you have a sister in your family? One tael of silver is too cheap, I will offer you ten taels of gold, How about changing your sister to serve me in my palace?"

Xiaobai was stunned, and said with a blushing face, "Young sister is weak and sick, I'm afraid she won't be able to serve Her Highness the Princess..."

The eldest princess felt a headache when she heard "frail and sickly", she frowned and waved her hands.

"Forget it then, alas..." She looked at the general with some regrets, and then said disgustedly, "It's really cheap for you, general, so you have to be careful, the young lady is delicate and tender, and she can't stand the trouble." ! Alas, a tael of silver... Humph!"

Xiaobai lowered his head in embarrassment, and looked around quietly, seeing everyone looking at this side, with an expression on his face, as if he was waiting to see the general make a fool of himself in front of the eldest princess, a thought came to his mind, Putting his arms around the general's arm, he asked timidly, "Husband, what's a tael of silver?"

The general was first shaken by his sticky "husband", and then heard the terrible words "one tael of silver". He lowered his head and said, "It's your one tael worth of silver."

But when Xiaobai heard this, he blushed and leaned on the general shyly and timidly, and said softly: "Really, let's talk about the one tael of silver! If he hadn't been so infatuated with the general back then, he would have served him willingly." the general
