Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Li Zuoning and the six others paid their respects, and sent Defang and Baili out of Kaifeng Mansion.

"Well, Lord Li, let's go back." Defang turned to get on the sedan chair, Li Zuoning cupped his hands and said to Baili, "Bai Gonggong, will the prince not come out of the house tomorrow?"

"Shouldn't leave the house, the prince and empress will have to rest for a while."

"Then I will come to the mansion tomorrow to thank you, Mrs. Wang, but...I don't know what kind of gift I should prepare... I also ask my father-in-law to advise me."

"My prince doesn't need anything, as long as Mr. Li is satisfied."

"Bai Gonggong, isn't that too impolite?"

"You just prepare some gifts." Baili said close to him, "My prince never looks at the gift box."

Li Zuoning nodded upon hearing this, "I understand."

Baili looked at the six yamen servants, "I said you guys, why are you so dazed?"

"Big... Chief Manager... You..."

"What's wrong with me?"

"Are you... are... father-in-law?"

Baili finally understood when he heard it. After a long time of trouble, they just found out that they were servants, so they looked at him in surprise, and couldn't help being a little unhappy, "What's wrong with the father-in-law! The father-in-law is not a human being!"

"No, no." The six of them hurriedly cupped their hands, "Elder-in-law, please calm down."

"Why is it so awkward to say the word father-in-law from your mouths?" Baili approached the six people, "Why! You know that I am father-in-law and hate me, right?"

"Baili" Defang opened the car curtain, "What's going on?"

"My lord," Baili said with an aggrieved face, "They know that the younger one is a servant, so they look down on Baili!"

"What!" Defang stepped out of the sedan chair, "Who said that!"

The six people knelt down and said, "My lord, calm down! No, no."

"what is that?"

"The little ones didn't know before, but they always called Bai Gonggong the little brother Bai, so I was a little surprised just now. It's not that the young ones look down on Bai Gonggong, really, no! Please learn from the prince!"

"Brother Bai?" Defang looked at Baili, "They call you Brother Bai?"

Baili smiled awkwardly, "Yes... my lord..."

"You guy, hehehe," Defang said, "Okay, get up."

"Thank you, my lord." They got up and hurriedly handed over to Baili, "Eunuch Bai, I will apologize to you."

"Forget it, I can't bear it!"

"Baili! Don't make trouble!" Defang looked at the six people, "If the six of you can come to the capital, Baili will intercede for you. Don't forget his kindness. No matter how others call him the lonely king , you can no longer call him Bai Gonggong when you see him again."

The six people asked, "My lord, then... what is the name of that humble rank called Bai Gonggong?"

"Brother Bai, hehehe." Defang turned and got into the sedan chair, "Remember, if you make a mistake in the future, you will hit the board."

"Yes, my lord!" The six people hurriedly shouted, "Brother Bai will make amends for the inferior rank, don't blame Brother Bai!"

Baili straightened up, "It's not too bad."

"Baili" Defang put down the car curtain, "If you don't go back to the house, it will be dark."

"Yes, my lord!"

The sedan chair team returned to Nanqing Palace, and Baili waited on Defang to take a bath and eat, and then he was free after Defang went to bed. Baili walked out of the inner courtyard, ready to go to the dining room to find something to eat, stretching his arms while walking At this time, the goalkeeper Guangxiang changed his shift and was walking towards the courtyard where the soldiers rested. When he saw Baili, he ran over, "Elder Baili, are you still awake?"
