AWB Chapter 138 Bodyguard Life
Chapter 138 Bodyguard Life
In order to save the royal family's reputation, the princess's husband will be given an official title, but generally he will not have any real power, such as the eldest princess's original husband, but the eldest princess's husband has been gone for several years due to a chronic illness. The only exception is the husband of Princess Zhaoyang, who is the first among the husbands.
Bai Chuxiao sneered, "For Princess Zhaoyang, no matter whether His Majesty or Prince An is in power, she is the only princess. Does it matter whether she is good or not?"
Yu Fengyang spoke slowly, "Now your majesty's energy and the court's troops are concentrated in the northwest. Prince An is very likely to take this opportunity to cause chaos."
Bai Chuxiao nodded, "If Zhang Jinlun and Yunzhou are really in collusion, Chu Tianling might be aware of what they did, and might even be involved in it."
Cui Hao frowned slightly, "The Crown Prince also conspired with Prince An to seize the gold mine before."
Bai Chuxiao said calmly, "That idiot Chu Tianyou is just a cover."
Yu Fengyang looked a little solemn, "Princess, why don't you go back to Yongzhou?"
Prince An must have gathered a lot of people. The Black Armor Army is far away in the southwest border. If something happens, they won't be able to arrive in a short time. The northwest also has to resist Xiyue. It's not easy for Chu Tianze to come back.
Bai Chuxiao shook her head, "I can't go back now. His Majesty won't allow it."
"Princess, His Majesty summons you to the palace." Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Bai Chuxiao said in a deep voice, "I know."
Then he said to the people in the room, "Alright, let's go first. Keep a close eye on Yunzhou. I'll go and test His Majesty's attitude first."
Bai Chuxiao was already familiar with the imperial palace. This time she was not meeting the emperor in the imperial study.
In the Imperial Garden, Emperor Wenxuan was sitting in a pavilion drinking tea, with Jinzhong and Cheng Song standing respectfully behind him.
"Greetings, Father." Bai Chuxiao, who was dressed in a green dress, bowed slightly.
Emperor Wenxuan nodded slightly, "Well, forget about the formalities, come and sit down."
Bai Chuxiao sat aside calmly without saying a word. Talking to the emperor was not an easy job.
Emperor Wenxuan smiled and said, "I left you in the capital, do you hate me?"
Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "How could that be? Being able to talk with your father is a blessing that others cannot obtain. But your father also knows that I am a person who cannot sit still."
Emperor Wenxuan snorted coldly, "You don't say a word of truth. As a woman, why don't you just stay at home? On the battlefield, swords are blind. Which girl would rush to suffer like you?"
Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly, "I don't agree with what your Majesty said."
Emperor Wenxuan raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Isn't it?"
Bai Chuxiao said calmly, "It's not only men who have the heart to defend their country. There are many women with great ambitions. It's just that the world doesn't give women the right to choose. Instead, it's assumed that women can only stay at home to take care of their husbands and children."
Jinzhong and Cheng Song broke out in cold sweats after hearing this. This Miss Bai still dares to say anything as usual.
Emperor Wenxuan chuckled, "Are you blaming me?"
Bai Chuxiao smiled, "I was just chatting with you, father. You are a wise ruler, so you won't blame me, right?"
Emperor Wenxuan showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "If you were a man, it would not be a problem for you to be a general."
He obviously didn't take Bai Chuxiao's words to heart. This was a world where men were superior to women. He admitted that Ah Zi and the woman in front of him were indeed not inferior to men in all aspects. However, how many women like this could be found? He didn't recognize the abilities of most women.
Bai Chuxiao did not argue. It was obviously unwise to say this to a feudal emperor.
Emperor Wenxuan spoke again, "You are quite interesting, girl. Come to the palace every day to talk with me and relieve my boredom."
Bai Chuxiao blinked, "Father, this is not appropriate."
Emperor Wenxuan glanced at her and said unhappily, "Why not take the place of the Seventh Prince and perform filial piety in front of me?"
Bai Chuxiao was speechless. Which emperor needs his children and grandchildren to show their filial piety? Why didn't I see you summon the Crown Princess and the Princess of Qi? Going to the palace every day is simply inhuman torture.
But he still smiled obediently and said, "Father is right."
Emperor Wenxuan thought she was happy to accept it, and said calmly, "You are good at martial arts, girl. With you by my side during the day, I don't think any blind assassin would dare to get close to me."
Bai Chuxiao couldn't help but want to vomit blood. Did he treat her as a bodyguard? In broad daylight, how could an assassin enter the palace? Cheng Song follows you around like a door god every day. I think it would be hard to assassinate you...
"Father, with General Cheng by your side, no villain would dare to cause trouble. I will not embarrass myself with my mediocre skills."
Cheng Song smiled and said, "Princess Yan, there is no need to be modest."
Emperor Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Cheng Song praised your kung fu highly. I feel more at ease with you as my daughter-in-law."
Bai Chuxiao rolled her eyes in her heart, but she hadn't seen Cheng Song make a move yet, so she didn't know how deep he was, so she might as well give it a try.
"Father, can I compete with General Cheng?"
Emperor Wenxuan's eyes flickered, "You girl, you're still excited, and you're still thinking about using force in front of me"
Bai Chuxiao blinked innocently and spoke slowly, "Father, you know that I don't have any other hobbies."
Emperor Wenxuan said unhappily, "There's no need for a competition. What a shame!"
Bai Chuxiao lowered her eyes. Cheng Song rarely showed his true skills. It was obvious that Emperor Wenxuan did it on purpose. He must be a master, and most likely stronger than her.
But Emperor Wenxuan was not joking. After Bai Chuxiao had lunch in the palace, she stayed in the palace until the evening before Emperor Wenxuan let her go.
Bai Chuxiao returned to Prince Yan's Mansion with a tired face. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Not everyone can bear this. As for the matter of Yunzhou, she can only deal with it slowly. It is not a wise move to reveal too much at this juncture and arouse the suspicion of Emperor Wenxuan. Prince An is far away in Yunzhou, and it is hard to say whether she, who is in the capital, will have a good ending.
For several days, Bai Chuxiao had been living in dire straits, but to outsiders it was a great honor. Everyone sighed that the Emperor loved the Princess of Yan so much.
In the Prince Qi's mansion, Chu Tianze looked at the angry Zhang Miaoke and said impatiently, "Pack up, I am going to ask for my father's resignation and return to my fiefdom."
Zhang Miaoke looked at Chu Tianling and Yuwen Minke, who was leaning on his arms with a gentle look on her face, and her eyes were about to spit fire, "Why do you want to go back to the fiefdom?"
She didn't like Chu Tianling, but she couldn't bear to see that Yu Wenminke, this vixen, seduced Chu Tianling to stay in her yard every day. Now even the servants in this mansion were secretly laughing at her as the princess.
Why should she go back to Liangzhou, a remote place? In the capital, she can still have the emperor in the palace as her backer, and Chu Tianling will not do anything too much. In Liangzhou, Chu Tianling is the one who has the final say, and no one will listen to her at that time.
Chu Tianling said coldly, "What are you doing staying in the capital? Bai Chuxiao is trying to please the emperor in the palace every day. What else can you do except go crazy in the mansion? We are both princesses, but you are not even as good as her."
If he had gotten Bai Chuxiao, he would have been able to do everything with half the effort. Marrying this stupid woman, Zhang Miaoke, would only hold him back. If it weren't for the person standing behind her, he would have found a way to kill her long ago...
