Su Cheng never expected to see this scene.
Bai Xihe was the number one beauty of the Great Zhou. Her careless actions, frowns, and smiles made all the men in the world crazy.
Not to mention her current appearance.
This was something that even eunuchs and women would blush at and make their hearts would beat faster.
Su Cheng was stunned on the spot.
At the end of the day, he was still a normal man. It was just that his thoughts were stranger than those of ordinary men.
For example, his reaction now.
There must be something wrong!
Could it be a honey trap?
He was a father. He would not fall for this!
He took a deep breath and forced himself to come back to his senses. He looked
away from the extremely tempting body. He looked at the other party’s face and paused. “Madam Bai?”
Hearing this, Bai Xihe completely woke up.
She cursed in her heart.
To think a snooze could give her away.
How was she going to explain this?
Should she cover her face or cover her body first?
If she had known earlier, she would have asked more about who the new deputy commander was…
This situation was too awkward and unexpected. Even Bai Xihe was at a loss and forgot how to react.
Swoosh!
Su Cheng grabbed the blanket and covered her.
Bai Xihe, who was covered, was speechless.
Bai Xihe coughed lightly and wrapped her body in the blanket. An exquisite head appeared from the gap in the blanket. “Um, actually, I…”
Su Cheng turned around and firmly did not take advantage of her with his eyes.
“There’s no need to say anything else. I understand everything.” Bai Xihe was stunned. “Huh?”
Su Cheng sighed. “So you’re from the White Lotus Society.”
Bai Xihe hesitated.
Su Cheng said earnestly, “You’re too bold. You actually dare to pretend to be the Grand Empress Dowager. Aren’t you afraid of being beheaded if you’re discovered? Or do you have something difficult to say?”
Bai Xihe opened his mouth. “I…”
Su Cheng raised his hand and looked at the blue sky. “Alright, there’s no need to explain. I believe Daya. If you’re a bad person, she won’t bring you home again and again. You must have your difficulties. Put on your clothes and veil! Don’t expose yourself. Someone will come over later!”
Bai Xihe said, “Oh.”
Su Cheng said solemnly, “Also, don’t use beauty traps on men casually in the future. Not everyone can stay composed like me.”
Bai Xihe looked at his nosebleed. “Yes… you’re very composed.”
The Empress Dowager’s Yongshou Palace was also under investigation.
The Empress Dowager found it noisy and brought Erhu to the small garden by the lotus pond. “What a huge lotus!” “There’s so much food!”
“What a beautiful palace maid!”
The trusted palace maids were all amused by the little fellow.
“Do you want to feed the fish?” the Empress Dowager asked.
Erhu nodded.
The Empress Dowager asked Eunuch Cheng to bring fish food.
The two of them went to the lotus pond to feed the koi.
When Emperor Jing Xuan came over, he saw this warm and harmonious scene. The empress dowager’s face was filled with a heartfelt smile. Seeing that the Empress Dowager was so happy, Emperor Jing Xuan was touched.
“Mother.”
He walked over.
It was rare for the Empress Dowager to give him a good att.i.tude. “The emperor is here. You’ve been busy with work recen tly. Remember to take care of your dragon body.”
It had been many years since Emperor Jing Xuan had been so cared for by his mother. He was so touched that his eyes turned hot. “Mother…”
The Empress Dowager waved her hand. “I’m old and can’t think about some things. Just don’t hurt my heart in the future.”
Emperor Jing Xuan said emotionally, “I… won’t hurt Mother’s heart anymore.”
Erhu ran over.
“Xiaohu!”
Emperor Jing Xuan liked this little fellow very much.
The Empress Dowager’s heart skipped a beat.
Although she had already reminded the little guy just now, she was still a little worried that the little guy would expose himself.
Erhu tilted his head.
Okay.
He would be Xiaohu for a day. “Are you the Royal Farmer?”
That was what Xiaohu called him.
Emperor Jing Xuan pretended to be serious. “Why? Have you forgotten about Father after not seeing him for a day?”
Erhu blinked. “…No.”
Few children in the palace were not reserved in front of him. Emperor Jing Xuan felt very refreshed and patted the little fellow’s head dotingly.
Erhu was suddenly attracted to the accessory on his waist. “It’s so beautiful!”
He was referring to the small stone on the jade pendant.
“Do you like it?” Emperor Jing Xuan asked.
“I like it.” Erhu nodded honestly.
Emperor Jing Xuan said in amus.e.m.e.nt, “You despised it yesterday.”
Erhu said seriously, “I don’t mind it today!”
Emperor Jing Xuan was amused. He took off the jade pendant and handed it to him. “Father is giving it to you.”
Actually, Erhu only wanted the stone on it, but he couldn’t take it off. He could only reluctantly accept the jade pendant.
At the side, Eunuch Fu was dumbfounded. This dragon jade was an ancestral treasure. Back then, His Eldest Highness wanted it, but he couldn’t bear to give it to him.
The little guy was too cute. Emperor Jingxuan could not take his eyes off him.
Then, Emperor Jing Xuan realized that the little guy did not like to lie on the ground today.
He squatted down and seriously counted the cobblestones on the ground.
“This one is beautiful, this one is also beautiful…
Emperor Jing Xuan thought for a moment and instructed Eunuch Fu, “Did Lord Hong bring back a box of gems from Western Jin?”
“Yes.”
“Bring it over.”
Eunuch Fu brought people to the storeroom to move a box of dazzling gems over.
When Erhu looked at the dazzling gems that were like stars, he was stunned.
“Wow! Royal Farmer, are these all for me?”
Emperor Jing Xuan choked. He just want to let him play… He laughed dryly. “If Xiaohu likes it…”
Erhu nodded vigorously. “I like them! I like them all! ”
The Empress Dowager took advantage of the situation. “If you like it, get your father to give it to you.” Emperor Jing Xuan was speechless.
Was it too late to keep the gems?
Erhu spent a happy morning in the palace. Not only did he see his great-grandmother, but he also obtained a large box full of beautiful small stones!
The palace was so good. He was coming again tomorrow!
On the other side, the investigation of Zhaoyang Hall was also coming to an end.
There were suspicious people, but they could not conclude that they were spies from the White Lotus Society. Therefore, they were sent to the Ministry of Justice first and sent back after the Ministry of Justice investigated.
That was not something Su Cheng should worry about.
As for Bai Xihe…
“For Daya’s sake, I can choose not to send you to the Ministry of Justice, but you can’t continue to work for the White Lotus Society.”
The White Lotus Society could not be exterminated. For example, his son-in-law was considered half a Little White Lotus, but his son-in-law was definitely not on the same side as the White Lotus Society.
Su Cheng turned his back to her. “I’ll find an opportunity to save you.”
Bai Xihe said softly, “Lord Su.”
Su Cheng said seriously, “What?”
Bai Xihe looked at his feet. “You… stepped on my undergarment.”
Su Cheng was speechless..
