Crazy! Crazy batch of chief ministers reduced to subordinates

On the first day after the beginning of summer, the sun is particularly dazzling.

Lu Zhu moved a deck chair to the corridor. Bei Sheng originally sat on it and read a book, but as he looked at it, he became sleepy and fell asleep with the book on his face.

Qinghuaju next door is also extremely quiet. Nanyin, who has been awake all night, must be catching up on her sleep now.

Mrs. Yun sent Ye Zhi to see that Nan Yin was fine and felt a little relieved.

Xu Zhaoting didn't notice Bei Sheng's outing yesterday. He thought his daughter didn't know that she had broken off her engagement with Zhao Shu, so when she went to Qingai Garden early in the morning with her hands behind her back, she found Bei Sheng asleep on the porch.

But Beisheng was sleeping very lightly, and she recognized her father's heavy footsteps in her confusion. She moved the book on her face, and when she opened her eyes sleepily, her father was already in front of her.

Xu Zhaoting said calmly: "Come into the room, my father has something to say to you."

Bei Sheng was still confused. Seeing his father's long face, he felt a little worried: Could it be that his father knew about poisoning Nan Yin last night?

She was not afraid of that. If her father wanted to punish her for this, then she would also tell the story of Nanyin chasing her.

He stood up and straightened his clothes, then followed his father into the house and closed the door behind his back.

If his father wanted to beat him, it would be better to avoid others.

Xu Zhaoting looked at his daughter and found it difficult to speak. Beisheng and Nanyin were different in his heart. They were the daughters he had worried about for more than ten years before finding them back.

Why were Marquis Gao Yang and his son allowed to bully him like this?

Beisheng once taught him patience and made Gaoyanghou's family feel guilty, but now he didn't know whether Gaoyanghou and his son felt guilty. Anyway, he felt guilty all night.

It was Marquis Gaoyang and his son who proposed the marriage, and it was Marquis Gaoyang and his son who canceled the engagement yesterday. Is his daughter Xu Zhaoting allowed to be played with like this?

Bei Sheng sat opposite his father, preparing tea in his hand. He couldn't help but glance at his father cautiously. Seeing that his father's expression was wrong, he asked cautiously: "What's wrong with dad?"

Xu Zhaoting endured it again and again, but finally told the truth. He said: "There is something, daddy told you not to be sad."

Bei Sheng thought about it and found that there was nothing that could make her sad, so she nodded.

Xu Zhaoting continued: "Yesterday, Marquis Gaoyang explained the situation to daddy and returned the engagement, which is considered to have terminated the engagement between you and the young Marquis."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes to observe the changes on Bei Sheng's face, but his daughter's expression was silent and very calm.

Beisheng didn't expect that her father would come to her to talk about this matter.

She said: "This matter has been revealed, so dad doesn't need to take it to heart. There is one more thing that my daughter wants to ask her dad for."

Seeing his daughter so calm, Xu Zhaoting's heart ached and said, "What's the matter? As long as daddy can do it, I'll do it for you."

Beisheng thought for a while, made tea for Xu Zhaoting, and continued: "During the Qingming Festival, the snow is thick and it is difficult to walk. My daughter has not visited the graves of her adoptive parents. Now that the weather is warm, she wants to go to Dingxiang with Jinhuai and return within a month." ."

Xu Zhaoting nodded, "Okay, you can also take this opportunity to relax."

Bei Sheng thought he would waste more words, but he didn't expect Xu Zhaoting to agree so easily.

It would be best to wait until she returns to Beijing again. The list of the prince's concubines has been drawn up, and she is no longer on it.

She and Lang Zhuo can also use this time to think things over clearly.

Xu Zhaoting thought Beisheng was going to Dingxiang as an excuse because he was sad about breaking up with Zhao Shu. He also thought of Lang Zhuo.

If Zhao Shu failed, Lang Zhuo was also an option, but remembering that her daughter said she was afraid of Lang Zhuo, that thought disappeared in an instant.

After several events, Xu Zhaoting also knew that Bei Sheng was a very thoughtful person, but he just didn't want to show off some things. The more this happens, the more distressing it becomes. Xu Zhaoting frowned again and asked solemnly: "You and Nanyin are both old. Nanyin's heart is for King Leping, so you don't have anyone you like?"

Xiao Xu's face flashed across Beisheng's mind. He was the only person Beisheng was willing to treat sincerely, but there were many differences between the two of them if they wanted to get married.

Therefore, Beisheng could only hide this thought in his heart and not have extravagant hopes.

Seeing Bei Sheng shaking his head, Xu Zhaoting added, "I think His Highness the Crown Prince is very fond of you, and you and him have the grace to save lives..."

"..."

The prince is the person who scares Beisheng even more than Lang Zhuo. Even though she is secretly helping the prince to suppress Xiao Yi, but until the day when things are successful, who can guarantee that Xiao Yi will not come back from outside?

Then force the prince to death, and force to death the girls who participated in the selection of the crown prince?

Seeing her slowly lowering her eyes, Xu Zhaoting knew that her daughter had no interest in the prince, so he chuckled and said, "Forget it, I'm just worrying about my father. To be honest, my father can't bear to marry you sisters off too soon. You two As long as a person never gets married and lives in the house all the time, he will be happy as a father."

Bei Sheng said silently: "My sister and I are at odds with each other. Living together will sooner or later lead to death."

Xu Zhaoting was startled and felt helpless.

Beisheng continued: "Father, don't worry too much. I'll try to avoid it. Please worry about my sister's marriage. King Leping is not a good match for my sister."

Xu Zhaoting knew full well that as soon as the news of the prince's return to Beijing came out, King Leping fled. In this capital, as long as the prince is here, there will be no place for King Leping.

Nanyin likes to cling to powerful people, and if King Leping fails, then the prince is the best choice.

Beisheng had no interest in the prince, so leaving the prince to Nanyin was a good thing.

Having made up his mind, Xu Zhaoting left.

Bei Sheng continued back to the corridor, lay down on the lounge chair and slept for a while.

I didn't sleep all night last night, but this recliner is more comfortable than the bed. The sun was scorching hot, and occasionally a gust of wind blew, and the fragrance of roses drifted over the courtyard wall.

It was decided to go to Dingxiang to visit the tomb, and it was not announced to the outside world.

Yun Shiyan was still staying in Lang Mansion, and Jinhuai came back before noon. Only then did he know that his sister had returned to Dingxiang.

Mrs. Yun was also grateful for Madam Luo and Zhou Da's kindness in upbringing Bei Sheng. She specially made some snacks and drinks for Bei Sheng to place on the graves of Madam Luo and his wife when they arrived to express their condolences.

There was nothing else to pack, so I packed a few changes of clothes, calculated the route with Jinhuai, calculated the distance traveled in one day, where to stay at night, and hit the road before dawn the next day.

Xu Zhaoting planned to send a guard of fifty people to escort his sister and brother. Originally, there was no need for so many people, but the Beisheng sister and brother were attacked outside Fengyang City a few days ago. This time Xu Zhaoting sent elite soldiers from the Xu family's army. .

Beisheng felt that there were too many people and it was too ostentatious, but he couldn't win over his father, so he had to follow Xu Zhaoting's arrangement.

The carriage sped out of the capital, and the dust was flying under the guard's cavalry. This time, it was not about escaping, but about getting support from his parents and leaving the capital to visit the tomb.

I just hope that when I return to the capital, all the troubles will be settled.

Even if you can't wildly pursue the free mountains and rivers in your heart, it will be a different scene to return to this prosperous prison after taking refuge for a while.

Perhaps, when she faces Lang Zhuo again, she will be more calm and fearless.

Or maybe, when she returns to the capital again, the Plum Blossom Pavilion has been knocked down by Ren Yuanzhi, King Leping has been executed, Nanyin has become the crown prince, and she and Jinhuai can find a pure land and live in peace.
