The pink and white garden in the palace is particularly beautiful,

Bai Pingting followed her mother to the palace to meet the queen, met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and was invited to travel with her in the Imperial Garden.

This is naturally not a coincidence.

Bai Pingting, who had been hinted by her parents at home, looked up at the prince, her face turned slightly red, and her heart was pounding, not only because of the noble status of the Crown Princess, but also because of the handsome and gentle Prince.

Although the queen still favored Xiangnan Hou Mansion and wanted Princess Rong'an to be the crown princess, she was not good to say more after Prince Chu Xian showed the pros and cons, and was barely satisfied with the prime minister's legitimate daughter Bai Pingting, and she didn't make much trouble. After leaving Mrs. Bai in the palace to speak, the prince was alone with the Bai family for a while.

Before entering the palace to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, Bai Bingting dressed up specifically. His Royal Highness seemed to have noticed her feelings and smiled gently, "The sky blue color is very suitable for you."

The two of them traveled together in the Imperial Garden, which was like a match made by heaven, and no one dared to disturb them.

"Hurry up, don't wait for Zhenren Xue for a long time." A sharp urging voice sounded in the distance.

Hearing this sentence through the flowers and trees, Bai Pingting subconsciously looked over and saw

A group of eunuchs carrying a large iron cage. What's even more amazing is that there is a white tiger in the cage that is squinting and dozing. It looks not too big, between childhood and adulthood.

Seeing the white tiger in the iron cage, Bai Pingting was so scared that she took two steps back. Even though she was far away, there was still guards beside her, she couldn't help but feel scared and subconsciously looked at His Royal Highness the Prince.

The eunuchs of the palace also knelt down to apologize, "I am guilty and disturbed the prince and Miss Bai."

Crown Prince Chu Xian didn't know when, but his gentle smile at Miss Bai was fading. "Since Shanqing Palace is in a hurry to ask for it, then send it over."

Shanqing Palace? Bai Bingting remembered the Xue Zhenren whom she had just heard.

Bai Bingting had also seen Xue Ye. Although she was a little jealous of her favor with the prince, she was not as arrogant and domineering as Princess Rong'an, and repeatedly targeted Xue Ye. In her eyes, Xue Ye was just an outsider who could not enter the noble women's circle in Beijing.

Who would have thought that this outsider would reach the sky in one step, and because of the various rumors since she was named a real person, it added a hint of mystery to her.

Because Bai Bingting had been paying attention to the expression of Prince Chu Xian, she found that the expression of Prince Prince was slightly wrong, and she seemed to care about Zhenren Xue now.

Speaking of which, she will have today, which is also related to Xue Zhenren. Who would have thought that Princess Rong'an, who regarded the position of the crown princess as a treasure a year ago, would not let anyone get involved, would be eliminated because of the eldest princess' crime. Xue Ye, who was rumored to the crown prince, also became a transcendent position and a mysterious identity.

But Bai Bingting would never think that she was lucky enough to enter the East Palace...

Compared to her talent, beauty and family background, she is worthy of it.

After all, he has not been married yet. It will damage his reputation if he gets along for too long. When he is about to leave the palace with the prince, Bai Pingting said a little shy and firmly, "I will definitely become your noble's wife, and my father will do his best to help you."

As a noble lady, she also knew that this marriage was not only because she loved the prince, but also because it was beneficial to the prince's family and had a great relationship.

Crown Prince Chu Xian smiled slightly, although the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

———

Shanqing Palace, Xiao Han said calmly, "It's okay, open it."

After all, he did not dare to disobey Xue Zhenren's words, the palace servant opened the door of the iron cage tremblingly. The white tiger had woken up after the bumpy journey, with its round golden beast eyes open.

Just a glance makes me feel creepy.

The palace maid who specializes in taming animals was full of energy on the side, for fear that the white tiger would hurt the nobles. You should know that the white tiger was given tribute to the palace for only half a month, and its wildness had not been completely domesticated. Logically speaking, it could not be brought to the nobles.

But who told Zhenren Xue to want it?

What is surprising is that this seemingly ferocious King of Beasts is unpretentious and just shrank in an iron cage and refused to go out.

The palace servants who were taming the beasts worked together to drag it out, but when Xiao Han approached it, it lay on the ground and felt as if it was furious and growled.

The sound was so scared that the palace servants responsible for taking care of it and the palace servants in Shanqing Palace were all weak and trembling.

Xiao Han reached out and pinched the back of its neck. The white tiger immediately disappeared, and the animals still had a strong intuition about danger.

Xiao Han smiled and said, "Be good." Just let some blood be released.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the white tiger, whose blood was taken, crawled on the ground like a wilted and soft, and was so gentle that it did not have the ferocious demeanor of the king of beasts.

Although the spiritual energy in this world is thin, there are also spiritual objects born from one of the ten thousand. The plants and plants include Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonatum, Snow Lotus, Stalactites, etc., which contain a relatively strong vitality.

In addition, there are some animal blood collected by Xiao Han.

Originally, these spiritual objects born from heaven and earth are hard to come by, but whoever made the ancient imperial power top the top, from ordinary people to high-ranking officials and nobles find precious medicinal materials or beautiful and rare beasts that have been discovered for hundreds of years, and dare not possess them privately, for fear of the crime of possessing a treasure, so they often give them to the royal family first.

All prefectures and counties all over the country have rare birds and animals that are used as auspicious gifts to the palace every year. Most of them are fished in the deep mountains, wild forests or in the sea.

Xiao Han has seen white tigers, golden eagles and other wild beasts that still have a hint of spirituality, as well as a huge clam that had been offered by counties by the seaside. Although the clam meat inside has been rotten due to long-distance transportation, the sea beads nurturing inside are rare treasures.

Ordinary people only know that it is precious, but it is difficult to use it. For example, this giant clam bead is usually taken to allow craftsmen to polish their hairpins on beaded hairpins or gold crowns, which is so stunning.

In Xiao Han's opinion, this is really a waste of it. Even if there is a natural spiritual energy, it will disappear almost over time. At most, it will become dim after decades, and it will become dull in a hundred years. It is better to be used by her to extract spiritual energy.

For example, the white tiger, the golden eagle, the red crane, Xiao Han only took some animal blood that needed to be used, but because he had to try more whether it could be used and where to use it, the palace servants who trained the beasts left them here.

In front of Xiao Han, even the most ferocious white tiger was so obedient that he didn't even have to chase him into the cage.

Xiao Han treats them well. The Shanqing Palace has set up a magic circle, which is also beneficial to raising their spirituality. This is true for animals and humans. Even the palace maids who have been here for a long time will become clearer and clearer.

Recently, another major incident happened in the capital. The queen was deposed and demoted to the cold palace for her crime of making a false statement.

Rumors were circulated in the palace, and the so-called false statements were called Xue Zhenren as a demon, which angered Your Majesty. Then the prince advised Your Majesty to concentrate on the government and not to misunderstand the belief in the elixir and immortality. His Majesty was confined to the Eastern Palace, which seemed to confirm this.

Some people in the Beijing teahouse also talked about this matter.

"What kind of Taoist master is a girl who is only a teenager?"

Some people even couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty has deposed the queen and alienated the prince because of a demon. It's really a bit stupid."

Some people exclaimed, "If this continues, Daliang may cause trouble."

Gradually, such rumors became rampant in Beijing.

"I heard that in order to meet the needs of Zhenren Xue, Your Majesty ordered all prefectures and counties to transport high-quality jade and auspiciousness to Beijing, which will cause trouble for the people and cause money."

"I said that this Zhenren Xue is unknown. The eldest princess died because of her. When the eldest prince Lin'an Bo saw her, she was disabled. The queen was also deposed because of her. I'm afraid it would be a disaster."

With Xue Ye's life experience, losing his father at a young age is considered to be one of the unknown evidences.

After being passed, Xue Ye seemed to have become a treacherous demon who harmed the country and the people.

The main reason why I am very dissatisfied with this matter and dare to talk about it is scholars.

On the one hand, the Confucian education they received was to maintain orthodoxy. Both the queen and the prince were the orthodoxy of the country. His Majesty was obsessed with immortal life and alienated or even deposed the queen and prince, which was unacceptable to them.

Furthermore, the prince Chu Xian has a good reputation among the people, especially Shilin in recent years. Compared with the Qingyuan Zhenren who has only heard of the news, he naturally prefers the prince.

On the other hand, they were mostly promoted to the official rank by studying hard for a long time, and they also became despised by those who rely on the sidelines to gain the favor of His Majesty. There were eunuchs in front of them, and then there was Zhenren Xue, which was the case in their eyes. Now, whenever there is something wrong, they will naturally criticize them.

First, when the people gradually fermented, even people talked about it in the court, and it was a small official who was a little bit lighter. But the Prime Minister of Daliang Bai Yue, holding a tablet in his hand, made a serious and generous speech. There were also many officials who responded, all of whom believed that Your Majesty should stay away from the real person of Qingyuan and should not be addicted to these unrealistic seeking immortals and asking questions.

The emperor had a dark face and was scolded by the ministers as if he was pointing at the nose. Of course, he was not in much better mood.

But the emperor was not a weak and good-tempered person. Seeing that Prime Minister Bai had to continue talking, he picked up the note on the table and smashed it at him. Just as he hit Prime Minister Bai's face, the court was in a panic.

The emperor ignored it and stood up and left with his sleeves. The morning court ended like this.

But the matter was finally resolved. The emperor took his anger on the prince, and his March confinement was extended to half a year.

The emperor did not know about the empress frequently summoning Prime Minister Bai's daughter. Otherwise, when he practiced Taoist temples and ordered the collection of rare jades in the world, Prime Minister Bai had no objection. Today, he came forward to accuse him of his preference for practicing Taoism and immortality, because he was confined to the prince of the Eastern Palace a few days ago.

The emperor sneered, but had no idea of ​​giving them a good look.

He was the emperor of Daliang. Apart from a fairy like Xue Ye who stands outside the world, why should he listen to others?

The empress was deposed not only because of a false statement, but also made the emperor feel that his intention was disobedient. Although he didn't like the people below to speculate on the holy intention, the emperor would not like such a slap in the face, and he also let him hear what the empress said with his own ears.

He left Xue Ye in the palace to honor him as a guest of honor and respectfully called him the real person.

The queen said in front of him that she was a witch, and he was the foolish monarch who believed in the witch.

Haha, since the queen has such a big opinion on him, then this queen doesn’t need to be done.

The emperor was not soft-hearted at all when he was deposed. If the queen was a truly virtuous person, he might have had a little affection and hesitation a little. Unfortunately, the queen was just the opposite, stupid, jealous and petty.

People like the emperor are mostly lenient to themselves and strict with others. You may be bad, but the people around you must be good enough.

As the saying goes, couples have become fucked in his heart for many years.

Besides, this was not the first time that the queen had deposed this idea. If it weren’t for the third prince Chu Xian who had produced her, who was too arrogant and satisfied with him, he would have been the crown prince. For the sake of the prince, she would continue to let her be the queen.

But now the situation has changed. The emperor had a grudge against him because he suspected that the prince deliberately concealed Xue Ye. When the queen was deposed, the prince touched his eyebrows again. Not only did he plead for the queen, but he also advised him both inside and outside.

The emperor was naturally impatient and easily took his anger. Anyway, he was not short of sons.

In the Eastern Palace, His Majesty's eunuch had just come to issue an edict, ordering the prince to continue to be in the Eastern Palace and not to meet outsiders.

After the person left, the confidant eunuch said unfairly to His Highness, "How can Your Majesty treat you like this?"

After this imperial edict, wouldn’t it be known that the prince had lost his power?

A trace of gloom appeared on the prince's face, and he lowered his eyes and said in a gentle tone, "I sincerely advised my father, and there is no fault. I believe that my father will not listen to those slanderous words and frame it."

Thinking of the slander and conspiracy, the eunuch couldn't help but worry about His Highness. Isn't it just Xue Zhenren from Shanqingguan? Who would have thought that she had such a great influence on His Majesty, and she deposed the Empress and ordered the prince to be punished.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but sigh.

Crown Prince Chu Xian smiled slightly, his eyes dark and unclear.
