Chapter 183(1/2)
"No thanks, go slowly, girl."
When Bai Yuyou turned around, Huai Chu looked at the carriage in front of her and estimated the time in his mind.
Before he could estimate for a while, a new business came in, and Huai Chu had no choice but to lower his head and continue with his own business.
Bai Yuyou returned to the carriage with the cakes, gave them to Song Hechen, and said, "If you are hungry, eat these. Drinking tea early in the morning will hurt your stomach."
Song Hechen stared at the cakes in front of him, and then looked at Bai Yuyou, as if he had something to say.
Bai Yuyou glanced at Song Hechen and said with a smile: "If you want to say anything, just say it. There is no need to be so afraid of me."
The corners of Song Hechen's mouth were slightly choked up, but in the end he didn't say a word.
He didn't speak, and Bai Yuyou would not force him to speak, but she continued: "The day after tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and in five days there will be a state banquet. After the state banquet, there will be banquets of all sizes, so many
Except for the state banquet, you don’t have to attend any of the banquets. Take good care of your health during these days."
Bai Yuyou said such a long story, which made Song Hechen feel a little warm in his heart. However, he was still very curious as to why, as a princess of the Dongyuan Kingdom, she could neither step down nor belittle him, a prisoner of war, and even treat him with more kindness.
care.
Song Hechen would not ask about these things, and Bai Yuyou would naturally not tell him.
East Washington.
After returning to his house, Bai Yuyou went directly to the study without staying any longer.
Let’s not talk about the purpose of this wheat cake store manager, but he told Bai Yuyou that Bai Yuyou now needs to inform Pingzhang Political Affairs and several ministers who maintain the order of the Yonghe Temple that day.
The pen in Bai Yuyou's hand moved quickly. Bai Yuyou coughed loudly a few times, then strode to the pavilion and faced Zhang Ji and Song Hechen.
When Zhang Ji saw that it was Bai Yuyou coming over, his cries doubled, "Your Highness, you have to make the decision for me, my hands are even red from being beaten by Guard Su."
"Don't bully me too much. I apologize to you."
Su Mu's face was not pretty, like a resentful woman who had been wronged. Although she glared at Zhang Ji, she also paid attention to the looks on Song Hechen and Bai Yuyou's side.
"How can I still make a quarrel when I'm here?"
Bai Yuyou put down his words with a cold face, walked to the stone bench in the pavilion and sat down, and then said: "Zhang Ji, tell me this matter."
When Su Mu heard that he asked Zhang Jilai to tell Bai Yuyou about this matter, he immediately fell out.
Song Hechen, who was still beside him, pulled Su Mu's sleeve and signaled him not to speak.
Zhang Ji glanced at Su Mu provocatively and said to Bai Yuyou: "Your Highness Princess Qi, the weather looks good this morning. After breakfast, I would like to come to the garden to enjoy the flowers."
"This was originally a self-entertainment activity, and I happened to meet Mrs. Song in the garden. Mrs. Song's comments in the house always praised the good color, and I have been curious for a long time."
"It's because Mrs. Song is ill that I haven't seen him. I'm lucky enough to see her today. I don't want to seize the opportunity to say hello to Mrs. Song and take a look at what kind of color he is. Why did I ask Her Highness to go there?"
When I come back, I won’t even remember coming to my concubine.”
Before he finished speaking, he had already received a sharp blow from Bai Yuyou.
Zhang Ji quickly stuck out his tongue at Bai Yuyou, and then said: "I came to see Mrs. Song in person to say hello. Mrs. Song just ignored me. This bodyguard Su next to me is so capable that he even disliked me for blocking him.
His wife’s eyes want to push me away.”
"I said that this garden does not belong to Mrs. Song alone. This is the place of Her Royal Highness the Princess, so I did not get out of the way. Guard Su actually fought with me directly and made my hands so red. I
How can I serve Her Royal Highness the Princess these days?"
The more Zhang Ji talked, the angrier and sadder he became, and finally he started crying again, making Bai Yuyou a little irritable.
It's funny to say that when he said he couldn't serve Her Highness the Princess, Bai Yuyou guessed his purpose and wanted to ask her to go to Song Hechen's house.
But Bai Yuyou really couldn't understand Zhang Ji's approach. If she wanted to go to Song Hechen, there were many reasons.
Even if there is no reason, there is no place in this house that is not hers, and she can stay wherever she wants.
Why use such a method to make Song Hechen misunderstand her?
"I'm really wronged. Why don't you hurry up and invite the doctor over to treat Madam's injury quietly?"
"Hey, no, no, no!"
Before Yue Qi went to ask for the doctor, Zhang Ji quickly stopped Yue Qi and said with a shy smile: "Your Highness, you have to make the decision for me. I feel very uncomfortable in my heart."
"Your Highness, how could you just listen to his words?"
Su Mu said unconvinced at the side.
Bai Yu You pursed his lips, looked at Song Hechen who was silent on the side, and sighed: "It's a pity that Mrs. Song doesn't like to talk, otherwise I would have to treat it as the truth."
Song Hechen: "..."
"No, I have some strength today and wanted to go out and bask in the sun. When I met... he wanted to shake hands with me and make friends, I ignored him. He wanted to force himself, so Su Mu accidentally hurt him."
"Oh." Bai Yuyou nodded and turned his head to Zhang Ji, thinking that he just wanted this result.
Song Hechen talked to her and explained to her, which was a way for him to accept himself.
Otherwise, even if he was punished today, he would not say a word to her.
"Your Highness Princess, listen, Mrs. Song has said that she hurt me. Do you want this Guard Su to apologize to me?"
Let’s not talk about whether Bai Yuyou can get Su Mu to obey her, but for a soldier who has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, this is also arrogance.
He would definitely not be willing to bow to her, let alone bow to Zhang Ji.
So Song Hechen still needs to speak for all this.
But after a while, Bai Yuyou didn't even wait for Song Hechen to speak.
She pursed her lips and caught Zhang Ji's gaze from the corner of her eyes.
After Bai Yuyou understood Zhang Ji's thoughts, she said helplessly: "Mrs. Zhang is also at fault in this matter. Su Mu hurt you by mistake, or should we apologize to each other?"
Since Su Mu and Song Hechen were unwilling to bow their heads first, they had to ask Zhang Ji to take a step back.
After all, Song Hechen couldn't open up his heart in a hurry, and it couldn't be done overnight.
Bai Yuyou himself didn't expect to be able to do this in a short time, but Zhang Ji was always there to help with suggestions.
After Zhang Ji received Bai Yuyou's order, he didn't hesitate much. He quickly bowed his head and apologized to Song Hechen: "Mrs. Song, I was the one who was rude today. Please forgive me."
Bai Yuyou looked at Song Hechen's actions and felt uncertain.
"Su Mu, apologize."
Just listen to Song Hechen say calmly.
A trace of ripples flashed across his eyes, which dissipated quickly without anyone noticing.
"Feel sorry."
Both parties apologized to each other, and the matter ended there, without any further objections.
Bai Yuyou happened to be thinking about what Pingzhang Zhengshi had suggested to her before he left, and she thought about going out for a walk today.
With that in mind, Bai Yuyou immediately spoke out about the incident and said, "Since we have apologized to each other, shall we two ladies go for a walk in the city with me tonight?"
Yueqi was shocked when she heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess actually invited the two ladies to travel together. This did not mean that the two ladies did not like each other, but they had to pretend to be calm.
"No, then ask Mrs. Song to go. I want to go back to recover from my injuries so that I can continue to play the piano for Her Royal Highness the next day."
Zhang Ji glanced at Bai Yuyou a few times, somewhat angry and aggrieved, and then left quickly.
As soon as the maids around Zhang Ji left, the garden became quiet in an instant.
Song Hechen originally wanted to leave, but his body was inconvenient and he needed Su Mu to push him.
Just listen to Bai Yuyou say: "Mrs. Song has been here in Yuandu for so long and she has never been out. Please stay with me tonight. Mrs. Song will not refuse me."
Before Song Hechen said his refusal, he looked up and met Bai Yuyou's innocent and expectant eyes.
His eyes were clear, and when Song Hechen faced him, his heart skipped a beat.
The words of rejection were on the lips but not uttered.
Bai Yuyou caught Song Hechen's air and said with a smile: "Then I will take it as Mrs. Song has promised me, and I will come over to find Mrs. Song to leave the house together."
Moving, several letters were written almost in an instant.
"Yue Qi, this letter is for Pingzhang Zhengshi, and this letter is for the Privy Councilor. For the rest of the letters, just take your time."
"Yes," Yue Qi took the letter from Bai Yuyou's hand and said with a somewhat distressed tone: "But Your Highness Princess, you haven't had your breakfast yet. Why don't you ask someone to bring the breakfast up first?"
"Okay, let's do it quickly."
Bai Yuyou summoned Zhang Ji before Pingzhang Zhengshi and the Privy Council arrived.
"Last time you said that those monks from the Buddhist temple were slaves, so tell me what the situation in this slave farm is like."
After Zhang Ji saluted Bai Yuyou, he followed Bai Yuyou's request and told her about the slave farm.
Bai Yuyou's understanding of the slave market was that it was a huge trading place that connected the four countries. There were too many mysteries in it, so she did not go into it in depth.
During the day, the slave market was just a place for ordinary commodity circulation, and only a small area was used for slave trading.
Zhang Ji was from there, and Bai Yuyou also happened to meet him. By chance, he brought Zhang Ji back.
Speaking of which, Yue Qi has also stayed there, so it seems more convenient to ask Yue Qi herself, but Yue Qi still has things for her to do now.
