Although the emperor is busy with everything and is not easy to see, at least Bai Jin still has the reputation of being a county boy.
Those who looked down upon him seemed to have forgotten this a long time ago. In other words, they were unconvinced and deliberately ignored this point.
Bai Jin was naturally embarrassed because he had to do business with the emperor just because of his makeup business. He had to get more chips for himself before that.
What is the greatest ability of a time traveler? It’s not just about improving grain seeds, purifying salt, or forging fine steel.
Giving these to the emperor is not necessarily for the emperor, but partly for the sake of the people and themselves.
In the eyes of many people, Bai Jin and Zuo Anli have been marked as princelings. No matter how they explain it, it is useless. Others will say that they don't have three hundred taels of silver in this matter.
In this case, it is better to let the prince make more achievements and let him who is biased towards them take the throne, rather than a strange prince.
Even though the prince's position is already very stable, there is a saying that goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.
Who can have too many things that can save your life and live a good life?
He had already done the work of improving grain seeds before, and all that was left was to purify salt and temper steel.
These are extremely important items. The prince can know about this, but he cannot interfere, otherwise even if the emperor is his father, he will not be able to avoid suspicion.
The love between father and son in Tian family can never withstand any test.
However, Bai Jin didn't want to show off too much. It's easy to get the benefits, but it's not easy to escape.
He had to show that it was because of his sincerity that he got the recipe through the guidance of an expert from outside the world or an immortal from heaven. This is the reward and auspiciousness given by the world for seeing the emperor's good governance.
When necessary, Bai Jin doesn't mind using some feudal and superstitious methods.
With the help of Zuo Anli and the system, things went quite smoothly. At least Bai Jin met the emperor without any problems, and both parties were very excited.
Who made Bai Jin's life miserable?
He now has the consciousness of accumulating points. Every time he changes an important recipe and loses a large amount of points, he feels a pain in his body.
Where can I make up for the used points? Of course I have to read hard.
He doesn't say he is knowledgeable about the past and the present, but he is at least very knowledgeable and is not afraid of being literal when speaking.
But reading doesn't mean he likes books. He almost vomited while reading. Now that he is finally out of the sea of suffering, can he not be excited?
The emperor was happy because he had two more artifacts that could fight against the aristocratic family. Salt was the lifeblood of the Jiangnan aristocratic family.
How they used to ridicule him for the improper position of the old Liu family. It's just that they are in power, and sooner or later, this country will not be able to sit firmly. They are not willing to marry the daughter of the aristocratic family to their Liu family royal family, and act like they are just trying to gain fame and reputation by stepping on them.
The emperor remembered every stroke of this clearly, and kept it all in his little book of grudges, just waiting to figure it out one day!
Finally, he had the capital to overturn the table and was too lazy to continue wrestling with those aristocratic families. The emperor was so happy that he couldn't sleep. Who was happy if he wasn't happy?
The two of them were holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes, speechless and choked.
Bai Jin had met the emperor before. Even if the situation was different, the other person's majesty was more serious, which made him a little nervous, but it was not to the point where he was too frightened to speak.
The emperor appreciated his neither arrogant nor humble attitude, so the two of them got along at that moment as if they had known each other for years.
The chamberlain serving the emperor was supposed to be expressionless and pretending to be deaf and dumb, but he couldn't help laughing at this moment.
Fortunately, the two of them also knew that there was something wrong with them, and quickly returned to normal from the previous state.
The emperor is always the biggest dramatist, with tears streaming down his face and a majestic and solemn posture. He said with a serious face: "Mr. Bai County, you have made great achievements this time. I can grant you one request, which is to be promoted to a higher rank." Or the gold medal to avoid death, just mention it. "
Whether it is fertile land and mansions, beautiful slaves, or immense power, all are within your reach with just one word from the emperor!
The chamberlains behind him all felt their hearts beat faster because of the emperor's words, and even thinking about it for a moment almost took their breath away.
Looking at Bai Jin again, his eyes were wandering at the moment, his eyes were fixed in the void, he was actually distracted!
He was actually thinking of something that happened a few days ago. After the emperor just finished speaking, he naturally thought of it.
Zuo Anli took a break that day, and Bai Jin finally found some free time, so the unmarried couple went out on a date.
However, the weather was not good that day, and a continuous drizzle fell across the capital. They had to run to the eaves to take shelter.
The host, an old couple and their daughter, had just come back from outside. They warmly invited them in to take shelter from the rain.
Zuo Anli touched Bai Jin's damp clothes and slightly moist hair, and accepted the other person's kindness.
It was rare for the old woman to meet outsiders, so she sighed and shared trivial matters with them, "My eldest son is still working outside the city. After we got married, he wouldn't come to see us every two days. Erlang went to serve as a soldier, and he didn't come to see us for several years. He won't come back once, but he will send some money every three days. "
Bai Jin asked her, "Which military camp is your son in?"
"Northwestern Military Camp," the old woman replied.
Zuo Anli asked her husband to borrow the kitchen and lit some firewood for Bai Jin to bake. The husband smoked dry smoke and said, "What are you talking about? Since the family is divided, the boss has to take care of his own family. It's not like he has no family." I'll give you money."
Bai Jin said, "I have a friend in the northwest military camp who can help you ask how your son is doing."
The old woman grabbed his hand and said excitedly, "Thank you very much, brother." "My Erlang's name is Zhang Erchui. People from the capital must remember this."
Bai Jin responded repeatedly.
Zuo Anli had burned the firewood at this time and called Bai Jin to come over quickly.
The old woman understood and said happily: "Your husband really loves you. He won't let you even burn firewood. Looking at his white-faced scholar's appearance, he must be a scholar. That's great."
Bai Jin's face was slightly ashamed. Hong, but did not refute the old woman's words.
Zuo Anli took Bai Jin's hand over. The firewood just now was brought by the old woman's daughter. She was not particularly old and looked like a teenager. From the moment Zuo Anli stepped into the house, she Very attentive.
He stared at Zuo Anli shyly and timidly, his eyes wanting to speak but not wanting to stop.
Zuo Anli turned away indifferently, trying not to be alone with her. He had always been cold and cold, and he had even pulled his husband to say a few more words just now, just to avoid him.
Bai Jin didn't know all this. When he entered the kitchen, he took off his shirt and asked Zuo Anli to help him bake. He sat in front of the fire in the stove and squinted his eyes to warm the fire.
"You're wet too, why don't you sit down and come over?" Bai Jin waved and asked with a smile.
Zuo Anli walked over and held Bai Jin's warm hands, "The moisture has dissipated. Put it on quickly to avoid catching a cold later."
Bai Jin put on his clothes and turned to look at Zuo Anli, whose face became clearer and more handsome under the firelight. His eyes seemed to be filled with water. He kissed Zuo Anli on the face and said with a smile: "You are so good-looking."
Zuo Anli touched his cheek and smiled slightly, "I am very lucky to be favored by my wife for my appearance."
It was clear that he was not married yet, but he had already taken advantage of her verbally. Meng Lang couldn't help but Like the dignified gentleman he usually is in the academy, his dialogue with Bai Jin is very frivolous.
He put his arm around Bai Jin's waist, which was very thin. He grasped it with his big palm at once, lowered his head slightly, and kissed Bai Jin's lips.
Probably seduced by the beauty, Bai Jin was not as shy and resistant as before. He raised his head to respond to the other party, which resulted in a more exciting and deep kiss.
At the end, a few silver strands fell on the corner of his lips. Bai Jin's mouth was already red and swollen, but Zuo Anli still stared at him and gently sucked the silver strand into his mouth bit by bit.
When the rain stops, they will leave.
After staying here for a while, using other people's firewood and drinking two bowls of ginger soup, Zuo Anli left some broken silver as reward.
Bai Jin, who was waiting outside the door, was approached by the family's youngest daughter.
"Mr. Bai, stay." The other party shouted, his eyes swept to Bai Jin's lips, and there seemed to be a momentary pause.
No matter how ignorant people are, they are not completely ignorant, not to mention that there is a small tooth mark on Bai Jin's lower lip that shows his sovereignty.
Bai Jin lowered his eyelashes shyly, but did not dare to cover his lips deliberately. Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?
"What's the matter, girl?" Seeing that the other party didn't turn on the phone, Bai Jin took the lead and asked.
The girl from the Zhang family bit her lip and said with determination, "It is said that it is difficult for me to get pregnant. I don't know... I don't know how long Mr. Bai and Mr. Zuo have been married. If you want to find a concubine to give birth to a son to pass on the incense, you can come to me."
It would be shameful for a girl to voluntarily say that she wanted to be someone else's concubine. Even if the old couple heard this, they would beat her to death with a broom.
But she was really unwilling to do so. It was hard to find a husband like Zuo Anli, who was so brilliant and as bright as jade in the world. Especially if he was gentle and petty to his wife, wasn't he gentle to others? She is willing to be a concubine!
Bai Jin was about to burst into tears. His mood was extremely complicated, as if he had spilled the condiments and it was hard to tell.
He had never encountered such a thing, and he had never thought that one day he would have to compete with a girl's family for a man.
It doesn't matter whether you are embarrassed or angry.
Bai Jin said directly and coldly: "How long I have been married to him has nothing to do with you. Why should I let him find a concubine?"
He said confidently: "Even if we don't have children, I will never let another person interfere. The relationship between me and him!"
Miss Zhang seemed to see something from the corner of her eye, and she cried: "Do you want to see Mr. Zuo's family end? How can you be so selfish?"
Bai Jin frowned, The other party's moral kidnapping words came right out of his mouth, which made him very uncomfortable.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Miss Zhang's look of panic, as if he had unintentionally exposed his evil thoughts, and she couldn't help but worry about him.
God knows how Bai Jin could see so many dramas in a woman's face, but he just saw it clearly and clearly.
"Mr. Zuo, what Mr. Bai just said was probably unintentional. I don't have to defend you. I just want Mr. Bai to think clearly with my advice..." She lowered her eyes, her body was like a willow. Weak and helpless.
After taking a sip of green tea, Bai Jin was almost stunned.
However, Zuo Anli was not as indignant as Miss Zhang thought. He comforted her softly, thinking that she was a caring flower.
The other party walked directly to Bai Jin and asked, "Are you okay?"
Miss Zhang's smile froze on her lips, and her whole body froze. Wasn't she the one who was sad? Did she show her performance just now to a blind man? !
Bai Jin shook his head and saw Zuo Anli holding his hand and said righteously: "Miss Zhang, my wife is absolutely right. Even if he doesn't want children, I will follow him. Children are the crystallization of love. Without love, talking about crystallization wouldn't be ridiculous."
This was the first time the Zhang family girl heard such remarks. She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute.
Zuo Anli changed the topic and said, "I have to rely on my wife for food and accommodation. No matter what I do, I must listen to my wife. I dare not go west if my wife points me to the east. I hope you will understand and forgive me."
He said the last two words very seriously, giving She saved some dignity for the last time, but the words that were obviously a soft meal still made Miss Zhang dumbfounded, and the blow she received was not light at first glance.
When Bai Jin recalled this, he almost laughed out loud. Only then did he remember that this was a palace, and he was not allowed to act wild in front of the emperor.
From the conversation just now, Bai Jin seemed to have the answer.
"Your Majesty, I want to ask for an imperial edict to marry Zuo Anli, the young master of the Zuo family!" He raised his white chin, looking as bright as jade.
In ancient times, there has always been the custom of concubine Ping, which means that the consort is married to the princess. Even if she wants to raise a good face, she would not dare to say no.
In this case, why can't my brother ask to marry someone else? He wants to break the secular prejudice, especially since all of this is based on other people's preferences, so it is even more natural.
Furthermore, the emperor's thunder, rain and dew are all due to his kindness, so his request is not so easy to obtain.
Bai Jin has heard some temptations from just now. He must be smarter and not be so foolish as to open his mouth. Otherwise, the emperor's coldness and alienation from you will be considered a good ending.
In fact, the emperor already regretted what he said impulsively just now, but a gentleman's words are hard to follow, let alone an imperial edict, so there is no reason to take them back.
Looking at it now, Bai Jin was so sensible that he was so happy that he didn't care how the official would scold him for writing this edict regardless of etiquette and customs, and would lead the people into trouble.
He directly asked the chamberlain next to him to bring over a bright yellow imperial edict. Bai Jin diligently went over to polish the ink. His skills were very poor. The chamberlain couldn't stand it and wanted to exchange it, but was stopped by the emperor.
"I remember that you used to be that boy Zuo Anli's book boy. How could you be so bad at sharpening ink? He wouldn't have been so deeply in love with you at that time that he wouldn't even be willing to let you do this little job." The emperor teased. road.
No matter how thick-skinned Bai Jinrao was, he couldn't help but blush after hearing these words. Unfortunately, he couldn't say anything to refute, so he said dryly: "Young Master is kind-hearted. After seeing my intelligence, he asked me to study. He didn't let me go to school." Do those chores."
After praising him for his proficiency, Bai Jin could praise himself crazily without blushing or heartbeat.
He even gave himself a silent thumbs up in his heart.
"Okay, the imperial edict has been written. Let's go back to receive it, and talk to the Zuo family about it." The emperor covered it with the jade seal, and sent Bai Jin back with a wave of his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Jin thanked him happily, bowed and bowed before leaving.
A slender young man walked out of the side hall. This man was none other than Prince Liu Xuandu. He asked in confusion: "Father, why do you want your son to stay here to listen to Bai Jin?"
"I'll let you see. This little brother's lofty ambitions are beyond the control of ordinary people, and you still want him to be your crown prince Liangdi..." The emperor shook his head and kept his unfinished words.
Liu Xuandu was rarely embarrassed. What could he do in the face of his father's bad taste? He had to accept it with a wry smile: "That was just a joke made by my son. How can my father take it seriously?"
The emperor laughed heartily. His son was gradually becoming mature and stable. There were not many opportunities to make fun of others. If there were any, he had to seize them quickly.

National Day is coming soon, and I hope our school can be a good person (
a great day, but don’t let me down).
