Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 277 Dispute

In the golden autumn of September, after the Empress Dowager's birthday, Bai Liangyu finally recovered, regained her slim figure, and stepped out of Nanxun Palace.

There was a cool breeze in the Zhaozheng Hall, and the light golden gauze curtains swayed gently.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Thank you for your grace and forgiving me." Bai Liangyu bowed gracefully, with her eyes lowered, looking a little cold compared to her usual attentiveness and intimacy.

"Come here." Qin Zhi turned his head slightly and waved to Bai Liangyu.

Bai Liangyu obediently walked to Qin Zhi's side, tears suddenly falling and sinking into the lapels on her chest.

Qin Zhi lifted her chin and looked at her pitiful little face with red eyes soaked with tears, and gently wiped away her tears with his thumb.

"Are you alienated from me?"

Bai Liangyu shook his head silently.

"Then accompany me to see the foreign princess presented by the North?"

Bai Liangyu was stunned for a moment.

"A foreign princess?" There were still tiny tears hanging on Bai Liangyu's eyelashes. She blinked, and the surprise in her eyes was not fake.

She thought His Majesty would at least comfort her, right? Even if it wasn't comfort, there was no accusation as she had expected, as if nothing had happened. What about talking to her about a princess from a foreign country?

Is this the first time she has seen His Majesty after not seeing him for nearly a year?

Qin Zhi pondered for a moment, "I heard that the foreign princess is the best dancer and is the jewel of her country's subjects. She is not even 15 years old yet, but she has a stunning appearance. I don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, I will keep her here to keep you company, okay?"

"Your Majesty, please tell me about her temperament first. If she is difficult to get along with, I will not be willing to do so."

"She has just arrived in Beijing, so how can I know her temperament? However, I can talk to Yu'er about her background."

"Your Majesty, why don't you let her recuperate for a while before you go see her? The journey from the north to the capital is long and dusty. If she hasn't recuperated, how can she be seen by others?"

"Yu'er has been to the North?"

Not only that, he left for the northern exile place from Gyeonggi on the first day of the full moon and stayed there for nearly ten years before returning to Gyeonggi.

Bai Liangyu thought to himself.

"My uncle has served in the North. I heard him say that His Majesty wanted to tell me about the origins of that foreign princess, didn't he?"

"Over the years, I have saved up a lot of money, so I trained several armies and sent them out to conquer the rebellious and spread the king's rule. Concubine Xian's father, General Fu Buyi of the Clouds, was jealous of his colleagues who were all rewarded, so he asked me for permission. But this old guy was unlucky and went too late. The rewards had already been taken by other generals, so he got a so-called foreign princess to offer to me.

She is called a princess, but her father is just the lord of a few cities in the wind and sand. He submitted to the king a few years ago. I don’t know if she was fooled or deceived by Fu Buyi, or if she had other ideas. Maybe it’s all of the above.”

"Does your Majesty know that General Fu presented the princess to you?" Bai Liangyu asked with a frown.

Qin Zhi chuckled, "Then Yu'er will go tell her?"

"It's better not to. My coming to your house so eagerly seems like a gloating joke. Your Majesty will have to kick me out."

"Your Majesty, I have only been in the palace for a few years. One after another, the Queen Mother passed away, Concubine Ying, Concubine Li, and Concubine Li all passed away. My child was also framed by someone and died. Can I really accompany Your Majesty until old age?"

"Why are you so sad all of a sudden? I finally managed to comfort you."

Bai Liangyu:?

Before Bai Liangyu could figure it out, "Are you blaming me for not finding the murderer who framed you for your miscarriage?" Qin Zhi suddenly looked at Bai Liangyu coldly, his voice still as gentle as a spring breeze. Such a contrast was disconnected and discordant, making Bai Liangyu at a loss.

"The murderer is already dead, so how can we talk about finding the murderer? Your Majesty, the culprit who killed my child must be Concubine Li who died of an illness as retribution." Bai Liangyu sobbed and cried.

"Your Majesty, are you worried that I will take revenge on the Third Prince, so you sent him to be raised by Concubine Yu? Your Majesty never trusts me."

"I am devoted to Your Majesty. The Third Prince is not only Li Xihua's son, but also Your Majesty's son. How could I possibly harm him without caring about anything?"

"A life for a life, Li Xihua has already paid the price, and the debt is settled now.

Your Majesty, can you give me more trust? " Bai Liangyu looked up at Qin Zhi pitifully with tears in her eyes.

Qin Zhi gently stroked the hair hanging down from Bai Liangyu's temples and looked into her eyes intently, as if he wanted to see into her heart.

"I believe you." Anyone can say that without hesitation, and anyone who believes it is a fool.

My beloved wife, concubines, sons and daughters can all perform on the stage according to their abilities.

These small disputes will neither endanger the country and the people, nor harm the people and the country. The chips on the gambling table are only their own lives and honor.

When they did not cross the line, in addition to maintaining the necessary justice on the surface, Qin Zhi saw the undercurrents underneath, examined them, and evaluated each person in his heart.
