Chapter 129 5 Years of Madness 2
Even in front of everyone, Lao Ba refused to agree to marry Minghui. Even when Concubine Yi came forward, Lao Ba refused to agree. Later, when Kangxi pointed at Lao Ba's nose and scolded him, Lao Ba just sneered and replied directly, "If you want to marry her, just marry her yourself!"
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, hitting everyone present. You have to know that on that day, not only Kangxi and Concubine Yi were present, but also the Queen Mother and the concubines in the harem, even the Crown Prince and the eldest son were present! They all looked at the Eighth Old Man in disbelief, and couldn't believe that the Eighth Old Man would say such a treasonous word!
Minghui Gege was so angry with Lao Ba that she fainted. Even Kangxi was so angry that he almost fainted. If Liang Jiugong, who was beside him, hadn't supported him in time, Kangxi would have fainted on the couch! Even Concubine Yi was very angry with Lao Ba because of this matter. She felt that Lao Ba was too disrespectful to her. It was a waste that she was so good to Lao Ba and even took care of Concubine Liang many times. She felt that Lao Ba was too conscienceless!
Even if he really didn't want to marry Minghui, he shouldn't have said such things to ruin Minghui's reputation. You have to know how important a woman's reputation is. Once he said this and it spread out, those who knew what was going on would think that Minghui seduced the emperor and wanted to marry into the palace. How would Minghui get married in the future?
Concubine Yi knew that her niece was willful and willful, and was spoiled by her grandfather, but she was her own niece after all. How could she not be angry when she was bullied like this? Because of this, Concubine Yi once again opposed the ninth and tenth brothers, and followed behind the eighth brother. Every time Concubine Yi said something nagging, the ninth and tenth brothers would just listen to it, so that the tenth brother rarely went to Concubine Yi's palace, unless he really couldn't avoid it, otherwise, the tenth brother really didn't want to go!
However, this incident also saved Lao Ba a lot of trouble, and also let Kangxi and others know that Lao Ba didn't want to get married at all. If anyone wants to snatch Lao Ba away, then they have to think about whether they can take off the skin on their body. If they have the courage to take off this skin, they can give it a try, but who dares and who is willing to do so?
After all, they have experienced Lao Ba's madness before. It's not like Lao Ba hasn't targeted them so much. Who has a brain hole? Deliberately provoke him? If he really dies, people will applaud and say he deserves it. If not, what else can they say? Is it a pity? Who told you to mess around with your brain?
In the past five years, Lao Ba had a fulfilling life in the first two years, but felt very empty in the last three years. Although he tried his best not to be idle, he still felt very empty. He missed Yunyan all the time. Lao Ba asked Anlou's primary task to find Yunyan's whereabouts, but he had been looking for five years and still couldn't find her. Not only that, during these five years, Lao Ba also realized once again because of one thing that happened that Yunyan didn't love him as much as he imagined, and everything was just what he thought!
That was the fourth year that Lao Ba had been looking for Yunyan. He stood in the Golden Palace as usual, doing nothing, listening to the ministers talking about all sorts of things. If it wasn't for boredom, Lao Ba would not want to come to court at all. He would rather stay in his house and do those things that were not right. But some things become meaningless after being done for a long time. Once people get bored, they want to have fun. Watching the ministers quarreling in the palace like those country folk is Lao Ba's fun! Every time, Lao Ba would suddenly say something when they were about to shut down, and express the anger of a group of officials!
Afterwards, those officials wanted to secretly put Lao Ba in a sack, but they were just thinking about it and didn't dare to take action. After all, there were people who had experienced such things before. They didn't want to be like Soetu's son, who had all his bones broken, was stripped naked, and hung at the city gate. It was too embarrassing. Just thinking about it, they decided to just endure it!
If you can endure for a while, you will have peace of mind. If you take a step back, you will have a broader horizon. This way, you will not cause trouble for yourself! They asked themselves, no one is so shameless that they can survive! Even if they survived, they would be half dead. After all, Soetu's son has been lying in bed all these years, and his eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all served by servants!
But secretly, those ministers often scolded Lao Ba as a troublemaker. In the entire court, Lao Ba was the least popular. No matter those corrupt officials or those good officials who were as clean as water, no one liked him, because Lao Ba did things based on his mood. Although sometimes he did good things, no one liked the process of doing things. It was too absolute and cruel. You could never guess what he would do to achieve his goals!
Lao Ba stood in his seat, fingering the court beads on his chest. He was probably the only one who dared to do this. He broke the court beads several times out of boredom. Many times, whether it was Kangxi or the ministers in the court, when they were talking about something exciting, the sudden broken court beads and the sound of them falling all over the floor directly interrupted their emotions, making them at a loss as to what to say next!
But Lao Ba always looks innocent every time, which makes people so angry that they want to beat him, but they dare not. One reason is that they cannot beat Lao Ba, and the other is that Lao Ba is ruthless. As long as he gets the chance and fights openly, he will definitely beat you to the point that you doubt your life. Lying in bed for ten days or half a month is already considered a minor injury. In serious cases, some people may even have several broken bones!
On that day, Lao Ba suddenly heard a familiar word. The beads in his hand were tightly held by Lao Ba. Lao Si, who was standing in front of him, looked at the official in the center with a headache. He repeatedly warned him not to tell everything. Unexpectedly, the warning was in vain. Lao Si had a headache and didn't know how to deal with Lao Ba later. But he promised not to bring it up!
The eighth brother, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head and stared at the fourth brother. The fourth brother felt the piercing gaze behind him and wanted to escape, but he still had a bit of rationality. After realizing that this was in the Golden Palace, he ran away immediately!
