Bai Yanqing looked at the pile of clothes and jewelry sent over by Yun Qi and became entangled.
"Your Highness, why... so many?"
Bai Yanqing looked at Yun Qi and was puzzled. It was just a dinner party, so it was not a big deal. The banquet was going on all the time. Why don't you go change clothes? Is it really wrong to send so many sets of clothes?
"There are just a few sets, how can there be more? How many more sets can you choose?"
Yunqi said seriously. He had originally intended to have a few more sets of clothes made, and wanted Bai Yanqing to pick them first. However, after Yunqi saw Bai Yanqing, he felt that every set of clothes was very beautiful and suitable.
Bai Yanqing's figure! Isn't this... He had everyone send it to Bai Yanqing!
"Last time...the set of clothes given by the third prince was very good. In fact, Your Highness, there is no need to spend so much money..."
Thinking of the last time the emperor gave a banquet, but the banquet fell through because she fell into the water, Bai Yanqing still felt a little guilty.
Everyone in Chuxiu Palace started preparing for that banquet several days in advance! However, because Bai Yanqing fell into the water, the emperor canceled it out of consideration for her! For this matter, the girls from Chuxiu Palace's aristocratic families,
She often blames Bai Yanqing behind her back!
"Do you like that suit? I had someone tailor that suit especially for you! How dare my third brother give you something without my permission?"
Yunqi said somewhat proudly.
It turned out that it was inconvenient for Yun Qi to come forward with that set of clothes, so he asked Yun Ji to send them to Bai Yanqing in his own name!
Bai Yanqing always thought that he was smart and ran into Yun Qi by chance. Who knew that all this had already been in his eyes!
"Before that... go to Bai Mansion to deliver something..."
Bai Yanqing now began to seriously suspect that Yun Qi had ordered him to go to Bai Mansion to deliver something before!
"Well, it's still me!"
Yunqi nodded, without any intention of hiding anything.
I see!
No wonder, when Yun Ji sent Phoenix Zhenyu to the Bai Mansion earlier, his heart and eyes were full of distress and reluctance! Dare, he was forced to do so!
"Then...Fenghuang Zhenyu...how about returning it to His Highness the Third Prince? I am not the kind of person who knows how to serve flowers and grass...if I bump into him or die, the Third Prince is not
Do you have to fight for me?"
When Bai Yanqing thought of Yun Ji's distressed look, she couldn't bear it. After all...she was really not good at raising flowers and plants.
"It's okay, you can just raise her. Besides, you don't know how to raise her. Aunt An in your house... is a capable person! She will definitely not let Fenghuang Zhenyu die!"
Yunqi comforted Bai Yanqing. What's more, there is no reason to take back the things that have been sent out.
Aunt An?
When thinking of Aunt An, Bai Yanqing always has an inexplicable feeling... She can't tell what kind of emotion it is, but she always feels that Aunt An is a person with many secrets! And... these secrets may be the same as those of the Bai family and Bai Yanqing herself.
, it’s all related! Or maybe... it’s also related to Yunqi?
For some reason, Bai Yanqing didn't dare to ask Yun Qi. First, she was afraid that the answer Yun Qi gave would not be what she wanted to hear. Second, she wanted to dig out these secrets herself!
"Miss, miss, what are you thinking about?"
At some point, Cai Xing came in. She looked at Bai Yanqing who was deep in thought and waved her hand in front of her eyes.
Bai Yanqing came back to her senses and looked at Cai Xing, who looked excited. Bai Yanqing was at a loss for a moment.
"Miss, look, there are also slaves' clothes!"
Caixing was holding a set of clothes in his hand and gesturing in front of his chest.
"Since she is my wife's maid, of course she cannot be any worse than others!"
Yun Qi stood aside and spoke up at the right time, his eyes filled with doting on Bai Yanqing.
"Your Highness! Don't always call me "sissy" in front of others. We are not married yet! Don't make people laugh!"
Bai Yanqing blushed and spoke with embarrassment!
"What's the point? The Emperor's decree has been issued. Miss, you and His Highness the eldest prince are doing this and that...what's wrong with that?"
Cai Xing looked at Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi with an ambiguous expression, then he laughed and teased Bai Yanqing.
"What's like that? With your little hooves, you turned your elbows outward when you took away other people's things, right?"
Bai Yanqing blushed, raised her arm, and hit Cai Xing. Cai Xing pretended to dodge, and the two started playing around.
Yun Qi looked at Bai Yanqing and laughed heartily, and couldn't help but feel better. He never thought that one day, he could really stand in front of Bai Yanqing and look at her, so happy. If she could always be like this
When he is happy, he feels that all his efforts are worth it!
"I'll go out to do some errands first. I'll come back in the evening and take you to Linde Hall."
After Yunqi finished speaking, he turned and left.
Linde Hall has always been a place where the emperor entertained ministers. It can be seen that tonight, the emperor must have entertained many ministers.
It seems that someone from the Bai family and Ji family will definitely come today!
Thinking of this, Bai Yanqing couldn't help but began to look forward to it! When she thought that she could see her father and grandfather whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Bai Yanqing couldn't help but feel happy!
…
In the evening, Yunqi arrived as promised.
At that time, Yun Qi was radiant and dressed in gorgeous clothes, which made his thin figure even more handsome!
only……
"Royal sister-in-law!"
Yun Ji's voice sounded from behind Yun Qi!
I saw Yun Ji sticking his head out from Yun Qi's back, his young face still carrying a bit of childishness! Sixteen-year-old Yun Ji, looking at it at this time, looked a bit high-spirited like a teenager!
"Third Prince!"
Etiquette cannot be discarded, so Bai Yanqing still bowed respectfully to Yun Ji.
After all, Bai Yanqing is not married to Yun Qi now. She is just an ordinary minister's daughter. When meeting the royal family and nobles, she still has to distinguish between etiquette and dignity.
"Sister-in-law, please don't try to break me!"
Yun Ji didn't pay much attention to these etiquette rules. In his heart, Bai Yanqing was the woman his brother recognized as his eldest sister-in-law who deserved respect.
"It should."
When Bai Yanqing saw Yun Ji reaching out to help her, she quickly straightened up and replied seriously.
"Is everything packed?"
Yun Qi looked at the woman in front of him with a smile, his eyes filled with surprise.
"Well, that's it."
Bai Yanqing nodded and glanced shyly. She was really not used to Yun Qi's blatant affection.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the emperor's sister-in-law will definitely be the most beautiful girl today! Look at my brother's eyes, they are all straight!"
Yun Ji looked at Yun Qi, then at Bai Yanqing, and couldn't help but joke.
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing became even more shy!
The hair on both sides of Bai Yanqing's head was loosely pulled up and tied with the jade hairpin given by Yunqi earlier. The hair on the temples was braided and tied to the top of the head, fixed with the hairpin. The hair on the back of the head was hanging loose.
It does not lose the charm of a girl, but also the dignity of a lady.
She didn't wear any extra or complicated jewelry on her body. The jade bracelet on her wrist was a relic of her mother, and on her waist hung the jade plaque that Yun Qi had given her earlier! There were no other accessories.
In fact, Bai Yanqing didn't put much thought into dressing up. Her clothes were of ordinary styles, her hair was not in a bun that was stunning, and her jewelry was ordinary jewelry. There was nothing surprising about it. But it was just ordinary.
Her dress is much more gentle and beautiful than those girls from aristocratic families who are flamboyant!
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is joking."
Bai Yanqing was a little embarrassed. When someone praised her appearance like this, she felt embarrassed and felt that the other person was too exaggerated.
How could she not know what Bai Yanqing looks like? Compared with those beautiful ladies from aristocratic families who have been raised in the house since childhood, she is just an ordinary beauty! Life on Zhuangzi is a bit rough,
The one who is exposed to the wind and sun is not as beautiful as the fair-skinned lady from the neighboring mansion.
"Let's go!"
Perhaps sensing Bai Yanqing's discomfort, Yun Qi did not praise him, but thoughtfully stretched out his hand and took Bai Yanqing's hand gently.
Warm big hands wrapped around Bai Yanqing's small hand, and just like that, they kept holding her and walking forward.
Yun Ji looked at the happy appearance of the two of them, and he was really happy for his royal brother! In recent years, his royal brother has suffered too much! The reason why he, Yun Ji, can be in the palace
They were able to walk sideways not because of their father, but because of his brother's efforts behind the scenes!
…
Linde Hall.
When Yun Qi brought Bai Yanqing into the palace, it was still early and many people had not arrived yet.
Bai Yanqing saw it at a glance. Bai Jingxuan and Ji Jinxiu were standing at the door of Linde Hall, looking around.
The strange thing is that the two of them know each other, and they are obviously waiting for someone, but in their eyes, it is as if they have not seen each other! Each occupied the left and right doorframes, looking forward to it!
"Father!"
"uncle!"
Bai Yanqing saw the two of them from a distance, so she immediately let go of Yun Qi's hand and ran to the door of Linde Hall impatiently.
Yunqi stared blankly at his empty palms, feeling a little melancholy in his heart! Alas... the lady has left him!
"Yan Qing!"
"Yan Qing!"
Two voices sounded at the same time. They rushed forward to meet Bai Yanqing, took Bai Yanqing's hand, looked up and down, front and back, left and right, and looked at Bai Yanqing carefully for a long time!
"My son has lost weight!"
Bai Jingxuan took Bai Yanqing and looked at her again and again. When he thought about her falling into the water before and her life and death unknown, he felt heartbroken.
"Yan Qing is not as energetic as before!"
Ji Jinxiu took Bai Yanqing's other hand, his eyes full of love!
"My daughter is fine, father, don't worry too much."
Bai Yanqing comforted Bai Jingxuan with a smile like a flower.
"My uncle is getting old, and his eyesight is not good. What's wrong with me? I'm in the palace, and thanks to the care of the eldest prince, I don't know how comfortable I am!"
Bai Yanqing pouted, pretending to be aggrieved. Then, Bai Yanqing turned around, ran to Yun Qi, and pulled him in front of Bai Jingxuan and Ji Jinxiu.
"Father and uncle, I would like to solemnly introduce to you that this is the eldest prince Yunqi, my future husband-in-law!"
Bai Yanqing naturally took care of Yun Qi's mood. She pulled Yun Qi in front of her father and uncle generously, without hiding it at all! This move instantly warmed Yun Qi from head to toe!
His wife is introducing him to the elders in the family! This is something worthy of pride and joy!
"Father...oh no, hello, father-in-law! Hello, uncle!"
Yunqi felt a little stupid for a moment, and was at a loss to even say hello. His bewildered look seemed to outsiders that he was stupid! However, only Yunqi himself knew that he was too nervous!
This was his first time... meeting his future father-in-law on such an occasion!
After all, Bai Jingxuan was an official in the court, and he would not lack etiquette when it came to matters in the court. Although he was dissatisfied that his daughter wanted to marry Yunqi, a stupid prince, he still greeted Yunqi with a polite clasped fist.
A gift.
Ji Jinxiu was different. He pulled Bai Yanqing aside and asked her worriedly: "Yan Qing, this... the eldest prince is looking at... his head... is there... something wrong? Tell your uncle honestly, are you?
Forced? If you don't want to marry the eldest prince, your uncle will go back and tell your grandfather to ask the emperor to cancel the marriage!"
Ji Jinxiu said it with such seriousness that Bai Yanqing was immediately amused!
