Chapter 220 Kill three birds with one stone

In Longyin Palace, Emperor Wen was ready to go to bed after taking a bath. When he heard that Bai Jiuxiao was coming, he invited him quickly and dismissed all the palace people.

Bai Jiuxiao entered the inner hall and after the ceremony, he saw that Emperor Wen was only wearing pajamas and frowned: "Why does the emperor wear so little?"

He immediately took the thick cloak from the clothes rack and stepped forward to put it on him.

The young emperor had grown into a man, tall and straight, much taller than Bai Jiuxiao, so Bai Jiuxiao had to stand on his feet.

Emperor Wen smiled and leaned down to cooperate with her.

Their faces were very close, as if he could kiss her just a little lower.

Seeing her thick and long eyelashes flashing, Emperor Wen felt like they were brushing through his heart.

His throat twitched, and he immediately calmed down: "Sister Huang, there must be something important when you come here so late, right?"

"Well," Bai Jiuxiao helped him tie the belt of his cloak, "I heard that you are planning to marry Bai Shixiang to Prince Qingli in exchange for their black iron forging skills?"

"The emperor also knows about it? Does the emperor think this method is good?" Emperor Wen asked.

Bai Jiuxiao sighed softly, walked to the soft chair beside him and sat down: "That's good, that's good, but it's just too unfair for Bai Shixiang."

"There's nothing we can do about it. When the emperor was regent, didn't she always talk about their black iron technique? If you can master this technique, the army of Zhao will be invincible, and the people of Zhao will be relieved of a lot of hardships. It's rare for their prince to let go.

If you are willing to exchange this, I will immediately agree. Isn’t it because the emperor’s sister came here late at night to stop this matter? "

"Of course not. I'm just here to discuss with the emperor. If you don't want to marry Bai Shixiang, marry me." Bai Jiuxiao said.

Emperor Wen was shocked.

I suspected that I heard it wrong: "What did the emperor say? Who to marry?"

"Marry me. Anyway, the other party only wants to marry a princess. I am also a princess. Da Zhao is not married yet and is of marriageable age. It's just me and Bai Shixiang. Just marry me. I'm willing."

"But I don't want to!" Emperor Wen said sternly with an ugly look on his face.

Bai Jiuxiao was stunned, not quite understanding why he had such a big reaction.

"The emperor has already taken charge of the government and has done a very good job. There is no need for me to assist him at all. I am just living in leisure now. Please let me do something meaningful."

"No!" Emperor Wen flatly refused, his tone overbearing and not allowing anyone to comment.

Bai Jiuxiao looked at him.

The word Tianwei comes to mind.

Her younger brother has completely grown up, and at this moment, he is the emperor.

But she would not give up easily: "I know the emperor is reluctant to let me go."

"You don't know!" Emperor Wen interrupted her.

Seeing that he was so decisive, or determined, Bai Jiuxiao didn't know what to say.

For a while, both of them were silent.

Emperor Wen was obviously sulking, Bai Jiuxiao looked at him.

In fact, she didn't quite understand why he was so angry, and it was obvious that he was sulky and unwilling to talk.

After a long time, seeing that Emperor Wen's breath had calmed down, Bai Jiuxiao opened his mouth again.

"I am different from Bai Shixiang. When she marries, she marries for real, but I"

"Is your marriage a fake one?" Emperor Wen interrupted her and asked in a low voice.

Bai Jiuxiao curled her lips: "It's not impossible."

Emperor Wen was stunned.

"What's the meaning?"

"It means I am Bai Jiuxiao. Wen, I am not afraid of anyone. Wu, I have never been afraid of anyone. Most people can't touch me. I can negotiate terms and make deals with Prince Qingli. I have experience in running a country and bringing peace to the world. I should be able to

I’ve helped him a lot, and I can’t help but treat illnesses and save people, maybe it can come in handy too.”

"He has never met either Bai Shixiang or me, and there is no relationship or liking at all. Therefore, as long as it can bring him benefit, it can help him solve some difficult, headache, or urgent problems.

problem, he will need it even more."

Bai Jiuxiao's eyes were confident and his tone was determined.

Emperor Wen looked at her and felt that the Ninth Prince who had been the regent was back again, and he inexplicably believed that she could really do it.

"If this is the case, even if the emperor's sister can escape innocently and return to the court in the future, the emperor's sister's reputation will still be ruined. After all, she is married. Everyone knows that you once married Prince Qingli, and then you will definitely not be able to return to the court.

He will be criticized by others, whether he will be divorced, reconciled, sent away, or whatever."

So, it’s still inappropriate.

Or not!

Bai Jiuxiao chuckled: "What is reputation? I didn't care before, will I care about it in the future? Moreover, I have never thought about getting married again. If my reputation is bad, it will be bad."

"Why don't you want to marry again?" Emperor Wen's eyes moved slightly.

Bai Jiuxiao curved her lips.

Because she can't marry the person she wants to marry.

"Because I just want to stay with the Emperor. I want to be the Emperor's eternal sister and the noble ninth princess of Zhao. Isn't the Emperor willing?"

"Of course I am willing!" Emperor Wen said tightly.

He couldn't ask for it.

In fact, he has been worrying about a problem these days.

There is a truth and a luxury hope in his heart, but he doesn't know whether he can tell it or mention it.

He was afraid that if he said it, it would break the current calm. He was afraid that if he said it, it would cause an uproar. He was afraid that if he said it, she would not be able to accept it.

He was afraid that if he told her, it would be counterproductive and she would leave.

Therefore, he has been holding back and not speaking.

But only he himself knows how painful and uncomfortable it must be.

If, if it is true as she said, she will always be the Ninth Princess and stay by his side forever, that would be great too.

Seeing that Emperor Wen was silent, Bai Jiuxiao thought that he was still hesitating, and then advised him: "Actually, I will return to the court with the art of black iron, and my reputation will not be too bad. Just let everyone know that I will marry Prince Qingli.

Just for the sake of this technique, I sacrifice myself personally for the sake of the country and the people. I believe that anyone with a little bit of conscience will not slander me."

This is true.

Emperor Wen remained silent.

There was another moment of silence.

"Allow me to think about it again and reply to Sister Huang tomorrow."

"Okay." Bai Jiuxiao stood up.

She knew this brother, she knew that she had convinced him.

After leaving Longyin Palace, Bai Jiuxiao walked alone on the long palace road. The night was vast, and a gust of wind blew, and she gathered up her cloak.

I looked up at the sky, there were no stars, and the moonlight was very hazy.

If she had never married, with Ning Shiqian's paranoid temperament, she might have never married.

In short, that dream must be shattered.

So, she took the initiative to marry.

This time the opportunity is just right.

It can not only help Da Zhao learn the art of black iron forging, but also help Bai Shixiang solve his urgent need.

If he knew that she was married, Ning Shiqian would probably not be stupid anymore.

Killing three birds with one stone is pretty good.

The palace people in the Sanglin Palace were busy again.

I have just finished the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and then arranged the new emperor's wedding.

Yuan Bao entered the inner hall with a tray in his hand. In the tray was a neatly folded set of red wedding robes embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon.

"Your Majesty, the Clothing Bureau has sent the wedding dress. Please try it on to see if it fits you and whether there is any need to modify it."
