A strange idea suddenly appeared in Bai Song's mind.
If this Japanese chess player learned all the modern formulas and returned to Japan and became a new generation of Japanese chess masters, wouldn't this be an extremely strong cultural export?
At least it can defeat the Japanese people's honeyed self-confidence on the chess track, right?
With this idea, Bai Song found things very interesting and gradually became more attentive.
Outside the palace, in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, some things that happened have gradually affected the people.
Folk enthusiasm for Japanese artifacts has declined.
When the incident was reported to the East Palace, Princess Danyang was quite surprised.
Even after several years, Princess Danyang still had some differences with Bai Song.
But when I heard that after the Bai Song Dynasty returned to the capital, in just a few days, the trend of Japanese items being sold at a premium in the Tang Dynasty was suppressed, I had to be convinced.
Princess Danyang was xenophobic, but this time she stood on the same line as Bai Song.
"Really, wherever there is the Bai Song Dynasty, there are stories."
In the villa of the East Palace, Princess Danyang sat under a small pavilion, admiring the newly pruned garden, with several personal maids around her serving her carefully.
Thinking about Bai Song, Princess Danyang felt very worried.
In the past three years, Bai Song has become increasingly powerful, gradually gaining the trust of the emperor's brother.
Although there is no legitimate power today, the grace is obvious to all.
Even Changsun Wuji, the royal family member who had been waiting for decades, felt a faint threat.
Not only did the emperor trust him, but the prince, whom he had single-handedly raised, also admired this gentleman.
What's more, the woman the prince has recently become obsessed with also has an inseparable relationship with Bai Song.
Princess Danyang suddenly thought of something and asked the maid next to her: "Is that girl Bai Rou with the prince again?"
"Ms. Hui, Miss Bai came to the East Palace early and is fishing with the prince in the garden next door."
"How many days in a row has that girl been here?"
"You must have been here for five days in a row, right?"
"Do you think there is a possibility between the prince and this white girl?" Princess Danyang suddenly asked.
The palace maid was obedient and responded in a low voice: "I dare not say anything."
"If you are asked to say it, just say it. I will forgive you."
"From my perspective, the Crown Prince and Miss Bai are more like siblings, but there is no relationship between men and women."
"Why do you think so?"
"Miss Bai has a free and easy nature, and is informal. She looks more like a man, but she is completely different from other girls. Recently, she comes to the East Palace every day. I heard that Mr. Bai is busy every day after returning home and alienates Miss Bai. Therefore, Miss Bai
If you have any complaints in your heart, you come to the prince to complain."
"That's right..." Princess Danyang nodded.
I don't know since when, Bai Rou and Li Chengqian have become close friends. Whenever they have free time, the two will always get together.
Princess Danyang has seen the two of them together several times.
Bai Rou is indeed different from ordinary women. Following Bai Song, her personality has quietly changed.
This is a woman with a soft appearance and a strong heart. Even Princess Danyang has to admit that she likes this girl a little.
Princess Danyang also knew that Bai Rou had no feelings for the prince at all, but at the same time, she also knew better what the prince she was acting for was thinking in her heart.
Nowadays, the crown prince has his heart set, and the selection of the crown prince has been delayed for three years. The reason for this is self-evident.
Bai Song has won the favor of the saint. If Bai Song's sister marries the prince again and becomes the princess, this will not be a good sign.
Princess Danyang's status has been declining. She likes the feeling of hiding behind and holding power.
Controlling the prince is for future planning. If there are any close relatives of Bai Song in the East Palace, I am afraid that the prince whom I have worked so hard to cultivate will be snatched away.
"Your Highness, you can't let Miss Bai continue to get close to the Crown Prince. Even if it seems okay now, what will happen in the future? The Crown Prince must be surrounded by His Highness's people. It has been three years, and the Crown Princess needs to worry more about her.
"
The maid who had followed Princess Danyang for many years knew what was on her mind, so she naturally reminded her.
Princess Danyang frowned lightly, and suddenly felt a little emotional: "Hey, now the prince has entered the court and has his own opinions, and he has become more and more disobedient recently."
"Your Majesty doesn't know why you are disobedient. The Prince is the one who listens to Miss Bai the most. That Miss Bai told the Prince not to be sentimental and not to be like Mr. Bai and fall in love with each other. As a result, the Prince no longer interacts with those little palace maids.
You're messing around, and you're talking about keeping yourself clean."
"Is there such a thing?"
"No, the prince has been neglecting the maids around him for a long time."
Princess Danyang frowned even more, suddenly feeling that this little girl was a bigger threat than her brother.
Princess Danyang couldn't sit still anymore, got up and walked out of the pavilion, pacing back and forth.
The palace maid continued: "Your Highness, if you don't let that white girl enter the East Palace in the future, as long as you don't meet her, the prince will stop thinking about her."
Princess Danyang sneered and shook her head: "This can only be counterproductive."
"Then what should we do?"
"Since the prince likes it, why don't we be a favor? Isn't it good to have adult beauty?"
The palace maid didn't understand what he meant.
However, Princess Danyang was quite satisfied with her flash of inspiration, her face relaxed, and she said in her heart: "Bai Song, Bai Song, if an imperial edict suddenly comes, asking you to hand over your sister, how will you react?"
…
By the lakeside of Donggong Xiaoyuan, two fishing rods were lined up side by side. Bairou was lying on the grass beside the lake, with her legs crossed and a grass leaf in her mouth, enjoying herself and letting the sun shine directly on her face.
Three years later, Bai Rou was already twenty-two.
This overage girl did not show any anxiety about getting married, but instead lived an increasingly free and easy life.
Under the influence of her brother, her temperament became less and less like a woman in her Zhenguan years.
Perhaps it was this free-spiritedness and uninhibitedness that attracted Prince Li Chengqian.
In Li Chengqian's view, this woman who didn't know kung fu was more like a knight-errant than those martial arts masters. She lived a chic life and looked a bit heroic even when she was lying so casually.
Bai Rou is the opposite of Bai Song.
The latter is a man's appearance that reveals the delicate beauty of a woman.
Holding the hand, there is a man's heroic appearance under the softness of a woman.
Bai Rou felt depressed. It had been how many days since her brother had been home. Except for saying a few words to herself during meals, she had not seen anyone all day long.
In this world, there is no other man who can make Bai Rou feel happy except her brother.
I felt so depressed that I could only complain to this brother's student.
But the way she complained was not to complain endlessly, but to give her brother a little reminder in a way that would send wrong signals to the outside world.
Bai Rou thought to herself, if her brother knew that she was hanging out with the prince all day long, would he suddenly become nervous?
After all, my brother had already said that he was not allowed to get too close to the prince.
