Bai Song knew that his request was a bit excessive, but after today, he was afraid that he would never encounter such a happy time in his life.
So he wanted to give it a try, even if the emperor disagreed and was even angry.
At least she proved her intentions to Qing'er beside her. From the moment she presented the giant deer sword, she had become a traitor to the Mo family.
Even if the emperor does not pursue the case, the Mo family will not forgive her.
Bai Song became Qing'er's only support. Bai Song himself knew this very well, so he had to seriously consider every bit of Qing'er's feelings.
Qing'er's eyes became wet after listening to Bai Song's words, but she didn't want to hear such words.
Because this is likely to make the hard-earned peace go down the drain.
However, today Li Shimin seemed to be particularly tolerant of Bai Song. He just shook his head helplessly and said two words: "That's right!"
Right?
Bai Song couldn't believe his ears and looked back at Qing'er.
There were already two traces of tears on Qing'er's face, and her little hands were clasped together tightly to hold back her excitement.
This is really a great favor from the emperor.
For a moment, Bai Song felt indescribably grateful to the emperor.
At the same time, he felt ashamed of his own small-mindedness. Previously, he felt that the emperor was not good enough to him.
Now it seems that the emperor's grace is enough to envy everyone in the world.
For a moment, Bai Song almost revealed everything about the creation of the Shenwu Cannon in return for his kindness.
But Li Shimin's subsequent words let Bai Song know that everything had a reason.
"But still remember the benefits the Queen promised you?"
"Queen...the benefits..."
Bai Song fell into deep thought, "The emperor is talking about the prince's young master?"
"The prince has reached the age of enrollment. The queen is very fond of you and decides that you should be the prince's teacher."
Bai Song had just accepted the offer, how could Bai Song have any hesitation?
"If the emperor has his life, the common people will do their best."
At the same time, I finally understood why the emperor granted me the benefits.
The influence of the prince's teacher on the prince is very important. If the teacher has different intentions, the prince will definitely be affected by it, which will definitely lead to catastrophe in the long run.
Li Shimin had such a big change in his attitude toward Bai Song, so he used great kindness to stabilize Bai Song's heart and gain Bai Song's loyalty.
Although Bai Song had figured it all out, he was still grateful to Li Shimin. If the price of the engagement was suitable, he would be able to accept it.
Looking at Bai Song, Li Shimin smiled and said: "You said it yourself, you are still a commoner. How can a dignified young master be qualified by a commoner?"
"The emperor means..."
"In this year's imperial examination, I want you to rank among the top three. Only in this way can I stop the mouths of the nobles in the world, and then I can justifiably grant you the position of young master. As for your marriage, it will be after you are named on the gold list."
…
As the saying goes, there is no way out but there is no way out, but there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers...
What Bai Song was thinking about was another pitfall!
I have just solved the problem of the Holy Lotus Sect, and I have to take the imperial examination again.
The purpose of the last provincial examination was to seek development in Chang'an, and Bai Song was reluctant to do so.
Thinking that now that I have established a solid foundation in Chang'an, I don't need to take the scientific examination.
Unexpectedly, what was supposed to come would always come, and suddenly there was an unavoidable reason that forced me to complete my unfinished journey, and to rank among the top three!
There is no way out.
After spending half a year in society, Bai Song's bookishness has been lost.
There are still two months until spring, and immediately after spring there will be the imperial examination. I haven’t read a book for half a year, so I don’t have any confidence even if I take supplements.
The only thing Bai Song expected was that the emperor would just let him go through the motions and directly grant him a top-three spot through some operations.
Obviously, this possibility is very slim. The emperor gave the task, which meant that Bai Song could show his talents in front of the world.
What does the future hold?
Can I take my daughter-in-law home?
Everything is unknown!
Although the imperial examination was very troublesome, Bai Song put it behind him.
He and Qing'er each received an imperial edict and each had their own things to do.
Qing'er went to the Ministry of Punishment to save her own people.
Bai Song went directly to the Prince Consort's Mansion to meet his family.
Bai Song has been waiting for this day for too long.
Half a year is long enough for Bai Song. Just as he misses a few beautiful faces in countless nights, they will also worry about him in countless nights.
What's more, I learned from Qing'er that after Bai Song left Beijing, the emperor took Xiang'er and Sang Sang to the Prince Consort's Mansion in the name of protecting Bai Song's family.
Bai Song's mood to let everything go became even more urgent.
There is a house full of women living in the Prince Consort's house, and they have not left this small space for half a year.
No matter how big the Prince Consort's Mansion is, if you stay there for a long time, it will become a prison, containing the inner melancholy of the person.
In half a year, Xiang'er and the princess reached a reconciliation and became friends.
If we don't share weal and woe, it won't be so easy for a woman to truly accept others sharing her emotions.
Without Bai Song around, the women depended on each other, and it was finally peaceful.
Today is no different from the past. Xiang'er went to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras and pray as usual.
Sangsang studied what to eat today.
Li Xiangnan chased and served the cats in the garden, with his maid Xiao Cui as his assistant.
"Who?"
There were scoldings from the guards outside.
The sound immediately attracted the attention of women from all over the garden.
The guards outside rarely make a sound, because everyone in Chang'an City knows that no one can approach this Prince Consort's Mansion.
Just as several women were exchanging glances with each other, the door was pushed open, and the old wooden door made a difficult creaking sound.
Then there was an excited shout.
"I'm back!"
Upon hearing the sound, the three women were stunned.
Some are stunned, some are surprised, some are doubtful, some are stunned...
No one made any movement, everyone seemed to be thinking about whether they were hallucinating?
The next second, Xiaocui rushed out, stood in the middle of the yard opposite the gate, jumped on her feet and shouted loudly: "Miss, it's my uncle! My uncle is back!"
Sangsang lost the spatula.
Kick away the two cats to the south.
Xiang'er lost her prayer beads.
The three women gathered together at the same time. Looking at Bai Song who walked in struttingly at the door, they seemed to have been restrained by someone, and there was no movement at all.
Bai Song smiled, opened his arms in the courtyard, looked at the three women who had lost a lot of weight, and his heart surged: "The emperor has decreed that we are pardoned! From now on, we are all free!"
There was no movement.
Bai Song looked at the three familiar women: "Why are you still cold? Come here and give me a hug!"
"Uncle! Xiaocui misses you so much!"
Xiao Cui rushed over, but Bai Song mercilessly dodged them, and then took the initiative to walk towards the three women and hugged them with one arm.
Sangsang calmly stepped away and stood aside, watching with a smile, and her eyes became wet without realizing it.
The princess felt Bai Song's body temperature, hid in the man's arms and cried.
Xiang'er smiled and kissed her: "I look forward to your husband's return."
