"It's very good. It's suitable for three or five close friends to secretly discuss plots and tricks, and they are not afraid of being bumped into by acquaintances." Bai Fuling commented realistically.
Yang Heng laughed and said: "Miss Bai hits the nail on the head and sheds light on the mystery. Come on! Please sit down, please sit down! Let's discuss some schemes so that such a wonderful place will not be in vain."
When Bai Fuling heard that she quit, she turned around and made a gesture to leave: "I have nothing to discuss with you!"
Yang Heng didn't stop her either, and said with a smile: "You don't want to discuss the matter of your good righteous brother secretly going to Beijing to meet the saint?"
The bastard! Bai Fuling turned around and sat on the chair opposite him, smirking and saying, "How can the matter of my elder brother's visit to the capital be considered a conspiracy?"
Before she left Beiguan City, she guessed that her eldest brother might come to Beijing, but Lu Ying never easily boasted and made a wish until something was confirmed. Today, from Yang Heng's mouth, it is true!
Just at this time, the servant came up to deliver snacks and tea, and the two of them kept silent in a tacit understanding.
After the servant arranged the refreshments and exited the small courtyard, Bai Fuling personally brought a cup of fragrant tea to Yang Heng, flattering her and said, "When will Big Brother arrive? Will he cause any trouble when he comes to the capital?"
Sure enough, when Lu Ying was mentioned, the little girl's attitude changed immediately. Yang Heng took a sip leisurely. Although she calmed down the unruly girl, she was not in a happy mood.
"Reunion after a long absence, let's talk about the past slowly, and it's not too late to talk about these business matters later. You try this Qingxin Baixue tea, it's hard to get it elsewhere." Yang Heng deliberately chattered and chattered.
Bai Fuling was annoyed, but it was about Lu Ying, so she endured it. The capital city and Beiguan city are too far apart, so it is inconvenient to send messages. She has limited channels to inquire about the affairs of the court, and the matter was handled by Yang Heng, no one knows better than him.
Yang Heng is also the emperor's own son, no matter how unfavored he is, he still understands the emperor's intentions better than an outsider like her. Eldest brother is not someone who acts impulsively and does not care about the consequences. Since he dared to come to the capital, he must be sure. Not only can he be her backing, but he can also get a good result. OK
No way, I had no choice but to be patient and grind with Yang Heng slowly.
Yang Heng asked with great interest what Bai Fuling had seen and heard on the way to the capital, Bai Fuling answered him with a suppressed anger, but Yang Heng said that he still refused to get to the point after nearly a meal, so she finally got a little impatient and said: " You returned to Beijing from Beiguan City a few months earlier than me, isn't the scenery along the way the same?"
Yang Heng was silent for a while and said: "It's different... the situation at that time was far worse than it is now..."
"Since you know it's bad, why rush to take over this mess?" Bai Fuling spoke quickly, but regretted it as soon as she said it. It's disrespectful to say that the current Holy Majesty's Jiangshan Sheji is a mess!
Sure enough, people who are used to freedom tend to get carried away and talk incoherently! The one in front of him is the prince of Qi country!
Yang Heng didn't think it was disobedient, instead he shook his head and smiled wryly: "You are really direct in speaking, it's just that you just say it in front of me, and let other people hear it, it can be big or small."
"Understood!" Bai Fuling said depressedly. Although she resisted the relationship with Yang Heng intellectually, she never really hated this person emotionally. She could feel Yang Heng's kindness and tolerance towards her, that's why she didn't notice the leak for a while.
Yang Heng's heart moved, and he almost couldn't help but want to reach out and pinch the tip of her nose, but he finally remembered that besides his two personal guards, there were also two women and a man from the Bai family standing nearby, if he dared to do anything excessive , I am afraid that they will come up without hesitation and desperately, so they can only clenched their fists secretly, stop their impulse, and continue as if nothing happened: "On the way to Beiguan City, from the time we left the capital, we can see barren fields everywhere. The ragged people, I thought at the time, were only a hundred miles away from the capital, and the people's lives were already so difficult. When they arrived at Beiguan City, they would probably starve to death for thousands of miles. It's the border. I didn't expect to approach Beiguan City, but I was surprised to find that it was completely different from what I imagined. It was full of vitality, and although there were not many people, they basically lived and worked in peace and contentment. Lu Ying and your Bai family have contributed a lot."
Although Bai Fuling was flattered by the praise, she refused to speak indiscriminately anymore.
"I have reported these things truthfully to my father in private, and my father is very pleased."
Really gratified or fake gratified? Bai Fuling thought of a word in a frightened state—Gong Gao Shock Master!
The ones who have always been the best, and those who can have a good end are never capable ministers, most of them are masters of soy sauce and mud. Even if they are capable, they often pretend to be stupid and timid in front of the emperor, so that they can fully satisfy the emperor's vanity At the same time, it can reassure the emperor, because mediocre people are usually better controlled and will not do anything out of the ordinary to threaten the imperial power.
Yang Heng could see Bai Fuling's disapproval and vigilance, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, I know what should be said, what should not be said, and how much to say, and I will definitely not harm your elder brother."
It is true that even if Yang Heng wanted to please the emperor, there was no need to deal with Lu Ying. Instead, keeping some affection with Lu Ying would be of great benefit to what he planned. Bai Fuling was a little relieved, and smiled: "Then I will thank you on behalf of the elder brother."
"Your elder brother offered to go to Beijing to face the Holy Father, and the emperor has already granted it. He just took into account that the barbarians on the northwestern border might take the opportunity to invade, so his visit to Beijing was kept secret. No one in the court and the middle ministers knew about it. To spread the word." Worrying that the barbarians would take the opportunity to attack is just an excuse, the real reason is that Yang Heng is inconvenient to tell Bai Fuling at this moment, but it is related to Lu Ying, Yang Heng knows that she will definitely keep her mouth shut, so she is not afraid to say hello to her beforehand.
Before Lu Ying's face-to-face meeting, it was inconvenient for him to have any contact with him. In some cases, Bai Fuling could just speak for him.
Bai Fuling understood immediately, nodded in agreement repeatedly, and then asked: "When will the elder brother come?"
"The secret decree was sent out a month ago. If you hurry up, your eldest brother should be on the way now. He is easy to drive and will definitely arrive before you reach Jili." In Yang Heng's last sentence, there was a sourness that he could not detect. .
Bai Fuling smiled when she heard that, but thinking that Yang Heng even knew what she was going to do and the ceremony, she couldn't help but get hairy.
Yang Heng stared at her for a few moments, and suddenly said: "I have a few words that you need to bring to General Lu..." While speaking, he gestured for the two guards to retreat downstairs, and then scanned the room with a little hesitation. Bai Pingzi, Bai Shao and Ginkgo are guarding beside Fuling with white eyes.
Bai Fuling saw that his behavior has been quite regular today, and the matter of meeting the saint is no small matter, it is a good thing to be reminded in advance, and she also vaguely guessed that Lu Ying's coming to Beijing this time, I am afraid that what she will face is not just to relieve the emperor. The suspicion of his own self-respect is so simple, and it is very likely that some affairs related to the court situation are involved, so it is really inconvenient for others to hear.
She can trust Bai Pingzi and others, but Yang Heng may not trust them. The people in her family were all downstairs, and they could rush up with a yell. Yang Heng didn't seem to be doing her any harm, so she nodded without thinking too much and asked Bai Pingzi to wait for the three of them to go downstairs and wait.
In the blink of an eye, there were only two people left on the second floor. Yang Heng moved to Bai Fuling's side. Bai Fuling saw his solemn expression and did not doubt him, so she only heard him whisper: "Tell your elder brother, don't fight for a while, and obey the emperor's will in everything." , before the New Year’s Eve, I will definitely teach him to do what he wants.”
"Hmm..." Bai Fuling nodded. The heat from Yang Heng's mouth made her ears itch when she spoke, and it felt very weird. However, he was talking about serious business, and it seemed that it was not good for her to make a fuss at this time... Bai Fuling felt slightly She tilted her head uneasily, trying to widen the ambiguous distance, but suddenly felt that someone had touched her earlobe lightly, she looked up for a moment, Yang Heng had already taken advantage and retreated away complacently.
"I'll accept the thank you gift first!" Yang Heng smiled charmingly, licking his lips intentionally or unintentionally, with a narrow aftertaste on his face.
Just now it was... Bai Fuling woke up and became furious! This bastard pervert even took advantage of her not paying attention and secretly kissed her ear!
dying! She lowered her head and glanced at the table looking for a weapon of mass destruction. Apart from the teacups and teapots on the table, there were only small bamboo dishes for snacks. She was annoyed and didn't care about anything, picked up the teacup and threw it at Yang Heng!
Although Yang Heng's martial arts were not as good as top experts like Hai Pumice, it was not something a weak woman like Bai Fuling who didn't know martial arts could hit. He laughed and dodged to escape the surprise attack.
The sound of the porcelain cup shattering was heard, and several figures rushed up from downstairs, including Yang Heng's personal guard, Bai Pingzi and others.
Before Bai Fuling had time to say anything, Yang Heng had already whitewashed her peace with an innocent face and said, "It's nothing! Miss Bai lost an earring. I'll help her find it. I accidentally knocked down a cup."
Hearing what he said, Bai Fuling stretched out her hand to touch her ear, which had been molested just now, and sure enough, the earring had disappeared. Everyone in the Bai family knew from her weird expression that things were not that simple, and they all looked at her suspiciously.
Bai Fuling's chest rose and fell and took a few breaths, "Yeah, I don't know if it was touched by some shameless thief just now, but it disappeared."
It wasn't that she was afraid of Yang Heng, but she couldn't bear to say that she was being taken advantage of, especially the chance that she foolishly gave it to others. If she had insisted on keeping Bai Pingzi and the others here just now, Yang Heng would not have been blatantly rude to her even if he had the guts.
Bai Fuling glared at Yang Heng fiercely, said "Farewell", and took Bai Pingzi, Bai Shao and others downstairs, Yang Heng watched her figure disappear outside the courtyard gate, playing with the newly acquired The trophy—a tiny dragonfly playing with lotus earrings, smiling like a fox eating a fat chicken.
