"Furthermore, I usually don't want to disturb my wife when I am a low-ranking official, but now is the New Year, and there is a custom of worshiping ancestors in the clan. Anyway, Xuan'er is also a bloodline of the Ming family..."
"Xuan'er's child... I look happy, and the Queen is more like a brother and sister. I'm afraid you won't be able to take her away."
Bai Yuxian was too lazy to make excuses with this man and directly interrupted his chatter. He was wasting his words here without doing anything practical. Bai Yuxian now really felt that he had been too lenient to Ming Songhe before and that he had done something unnecessary to her.
Misunderstood.
So Bai Yuxian paused, not letting Ming Songhe continue to speak, and said calmly: "Master Ming may not know about the Shangyuan Festival two days ago. That day, I went to take a look outside the palace on a whim.
In such a big capital, what do you think? It was such a coincidence that we met Xuan'er... and a group of children from other families..."
Hearing this, Ming Songhe's face stiffened for a moment. He had also heard about what happened on the Lantern Festival, but he only heard that the children of the He Kuang family in Jingzhao Mansion had offended the emperor. As for why Mingxuan was in the palace,
Just treat it as a coincidence.
But he did not inquire carefully about how he was offended.
In fact, Ming Songhe took Mingxuan to He Kuang's house for a banquet that day. The adults were drinking and having fun, and the children naturally played around.
He naturally wanted to have a relationship with Jingzhao Fuyi, so he didn't pay much attention to Mingxuan, so he was dragged away by the group of children.
After all, Ming Xuan has a reserved temperament. Even if he is unwilling, he will not show it on his face. He went with Ming Songhe. The only one he can rely on is Ming Songhe. And Ming Songhe doesn't care about him, so he doesn't want to be manipulated by others.
What.
I heard that He Kuang returned safely, but others seemed to be refusing to pursue him. After all, no matter how worried He Kuang was, he wouldn't tell anyone, right?
Ming Songhe's originally worried heart was finally relieved. It seemed that the offense against the emperor had nothing to do with Mingxuan. It was only because the emperor met Mingxuan that he brought him back to the palace because of Ye Fuxun's affection.
It happened that he wanted to use Mingxuan to establish a good relationship with the emperor and the empress, but he fell into his trap, and immediately went to the palace to sell it.
Bai Yuxian told Ming Songhe what happened that day word for word, and saw that the expression on Ming Songhe's face became increasingly ugly.
Then he slowly said: "I was just on a whim. When I saw Xuan'er giving a lesson to the young masters of those adults, I couldn't stand it any longer, so I took Xuan'er back to the palace.
It's just that I'm just his brother-in-law, but I can't stand it. Since Mr. Ming is Xuan'er's master, how can he let his own son suffer such injustice?"
"This...this matter...Xiaoguan really doesn't know!" Ming Songhe heard the anger in Bai Yuxian's tone, and immediately knelt down and said in a cold sweat: "I blame Xiaguan for neglecting Xuan'er on weekdays.
It’s so…”
He is an adult who has been in the officialdom for many years. It is impossible to say that he really doesn't know anything. But Mingxuan usually doesn't say anything, so he just turns a blind eye. After all, he is from Jingzhao Mansion.
Young Master, try your best not to cause trouble.
Bai Yuxian was obviously well aware of this matter, so no matter how remorseful Ming Songhe was now, it could not shake Bai Yuxian's heart at all. She just felt that this person was really pretending.
Bai Yuxian smiled faintly: "I know that Mr. Ming is busy with official duties, so it is normal for him to neglect Mr. Xuan. But as Xuan'er's brother-in-law, I really couldn't stand it, so I simply took Xuan'er into the palace to live for a while.
day.
Besides, although Xuan'er and Lord Ming are related by blood, now that Xuan'er has followed Mrs. Yun, he has severed the father-son relationship with Lord Ming, so please respect yourself."
The implication is that now Mingxuan is no longer Ming Songhe's son, and Ming Songhe can no longer decide whether Mingxuan stays or goes.
Moreover, Bai Yuxian also found a very appropriate reason for Ming Songhe. He was "busy with official duties" and it was understandable that he had no time to take care of Mingxuan.
It is simply a joke in the world. Who doesn't know that he, a bachelor, is now in a false position.
"This...is not good..."
Bai Yuxian was walking in front, suddenly turned back and glanced at Ming Songhe, then stretched out his hand and landed on a plum blossom branch.
With a "click", the plum branch was broken directly, and the other branch was held by Bai Yuxian in her hand. It was dotted with several plum blossoms, which was really beautiful.
Inexplicably, Ming Songhe trembled in his heart. Could it be that the emperor was using things to describe people? No, he didn't do anything that violated the national law...
Bai Yuxian didn't seem to notice Ming Songhe's uneasiness, but handed the plum branch in his hand to Lu Ming who was standing aside: "Send this plum branch to the queen, just for her to arrange flowers."
Lu Ming was gloating in his heart, but with a serious expression on his face, he stepped forward to take the plum branch and said, "Yes."
Then Bai Yuxian turned back to Ming Songhe and said calmly: "There is nothing inappropriate. It is inappropriate for Xuan'er to go to your place. He Kuang and I are also Xuan'er's relatives. This matter has also been approved by Mrs. Yun."
, there was no need to tell Lord Ming originally, but I saw that Lord Ming still cared about Xuan'er, so I informed Lord Ming."
It means that Ming Songhe should not be ungrateful. This is just informing him of the matter and not discussing it with him.
Ming Songhe was stunned. He had never thought that the emperor's attitude would be so tough.
Then Bai Yuxian smiled again and said: "I know that the relationship between your father and son is hard to let go, but the queen is worried about Xuan'er's health, so she will let Xuan'er recuperate in the palace these days, and the subsequent arrangements will depend on Xuan'er's wishes.
Lord Ming, you can rest assured that no one in the palace would dare to bully Xuan'er, understand?"
Ming Songhe almost spit out his blood, but he dared to get angry but did not dare to speak. Who was Bai Yuxian insinuating that he was scolding with these words? But the person in front of him was the emperor, and he had to bear it even if he was scolded. He said so.
Now that he understands, what objection can he have?
If you really have any objections, you dare not speak out, otherwise it would just give Bai Yuxian a reason to deal with him...
Apart from anything else, after so many years in the officialdom, Li, Yi, Ren, Zhixin, he has not learned anything about his duties, but he has learned a lot about his ability to observe words and emotions.
Speaking of which, Ming Songhe is not stupid. It is no longer possible to take Mingxuan back. It is not at Yunman's place where he can still play the emotional card.
Now in the palace, the emperor doesn't care who he is, and he has no friendship with him. He has heard too much about Bai Yuxian's killing decisions. In the future, even if Bai Yuxian does not let Mingxuan go back, he will
I can't come to invite you, and I really can't think of anything else to do.
Ming Songhe could only smile stiffly: "This is the best thing for Xuan'er. It's just annoying the emperor."
