Cai Xing walked towards Bai Yanqing with breakfast in hand.
The small kitchen in Qiyun Palace has not been used for many years. Ever since Bai Yanqing moved in, Cai Xing has never let it rest for a day! Just as Cai Xing ran towards Bai Yanqing with a smile on his face, he was about to talk to her.
As she was talking, unexpectedly, Cai Xing accidentally stepped on a pebble! She staggered and fell backwards!
Soon after, a figure was seen, quickly passing over Bai Yanqing's head, landing behind Cai Xing, and then firmly supporting Cai Xing's back!
After seeing the true face of the visitor, Bai Yanqing was stunned, and Cai Xing was also stunned...
"This, this, this..."
Caixing stammered "this" for a long time, but he couldn't make a word clearly!
The young man in front of him was the same young man that Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing met in Jin Yu Zhai earlier!
"My subordinate Yuan Ziyue has met Miss Bai."
A clear male voice sounded, instantly pulling Bai Yanqing back from her thoughts!
Bai Yanqing glanced at Yuan Ziyue, nodded towards him, and agreed. The people in Qiyun Palace were so arrogant that it was not convenient for Bai Yanqing to show other emotions!
"Caixing, it's time for breakfast."
Bai Yanqing glanced at Cai Xing and winked at her. Cai Xing understood and walked into the house with breakfast.
That Yuan Ziyue was quite discerning. Without any hesitation, he followed Bai Yanqing's master and servant into the house.
"Where is Your Highness? Why are you here alone?"
Bai Yanqing didn't beat around the bush. After she sat down, she asked casually while eating the breakfast brought by Cai Xing. Not that she was inseparable from Yun Qi for a moment. It was just Yuan Ziyue's sudden appearance that made Bai Yanqing
Just a little more curious!
To put it bluntly, Yuan Ziyue would not appear in Qiyun Palace for no reason.
"Go back to Miss Bai, Your Highness will be here shortly."
Yuan Ziyue stood aside respectfully and replied seriously.
Bai Yanqing nodded, gave a faint "hmm", and asked no more questions. Although Bai Yanqing was very curious about everything about Yun Qi, she also knew that she shouldn't ask questions. When Yun Qi wanted to tell her,
Of course I told her.
Yuan Ziyue was right. Just as Bai Yanqing finished the last sip of the soup, Yun Qi came back! But... behind him, there was also a pretty girl.
Bai Yanqing was stunned, but she didn't ask him, just like when Yuan Ziyue appeared. Because Bai Yanqing knew that even if she didn't ask, if Yunqi wanted her to know, he would tell her immediately.
"This is Yuan Li, Ziyue's sister."
As expected, Yun Qi took the initiative to introduce him.
"From now on, Yuan Li and Cai Xing will take care of you! Yuan Li has good kung fu and can protect you at critical moments!"
Yun Qi walked up to Bai Yanqing, took out the handkerchief, tucked the corners of her mouth for her, and then continued speaking gently.
"Your Highness, the eldest prince, do you dislike your servant and fail to take good care of your young lady?"
Cai Xing pouted, looking very aggrieved, and a layer of mist suddenly appeared in his bright eyes!
"Okay! Cai Xing! Didn't you hear what His Highness said? Yuan Jun is good at martial arts and can protect us both! This way, you will have more time to make all kinds of snacks for me! Right?"
Bai Yanqing took out her handkerchief, wiped the corners of Cai Xing's eyes, and then touched her head, as if coaxing a child.
Hearing this, Cai Xing held back her tears and stepped forward to hold Bai Yanqing's arm. She was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear! She was really like a child. She cried when she was crying. When she was joking, she immediately laughed!
"Your Highness, is breakfast available? Do you want some more?"
Bai Yanqing looked at Yun Qi and invited him warmly.
Yunqi waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t need it anymore.
Bai Yanqing didn't force him, she waved her hand towards Cai Xing and signaled Cai Xing to take the rest of the breakfast away.
After Cai Xing left, Bai Yanqing turned around. She knew that Yun Qi would not bring the Yuan family brothers and sisters into the palace with him for no reason. If the emperor knew about it, he would probably become suspicious.
So Bai Yanqing took the initiative and sent Cai Xing away. It wasn't that Bai Yanqing was on guard against Cai Xing or didn't trust Cai Xing, it was just that... Yun Qi's affairs were different from Bai Yanqing's own affairs. Yun Qi's affairs involved a wide range of things.
, not letting Caixing know is also for her safety!
"My father has kept all the daughters of the family in the palace, and he has been unwilling to let you out of the palace. He has also been reluctant to marry the younger brothers... I'm afraid it's my father who has other agendas!"
Yun Qi asked the Yuan brothers and sisters to guard the door, then turned around and said to Bai Yanqing with a solemn expression.
It's not that Bai Yanqing had never thought of what Yun Qi was talking about before. If it hadn't happened that she fell into the water and the imperial doctor had diagnosed that she couldn't get pregnant, I'm afraid that even now, the emperor would not be willing to betroth herself to Yun Qi.
Qi's.
Yunqi is twenty this year. Logically speaking, he should have gotten married a few years ago. However, the emperor just drags his sons with him and has not found a good candidate for them so far! This matter is indeed strange!
"Your Highness, with all due respect, I have something I want to ask you."
Bai Yanqing'e frowned slightly, looking a little sad.
"you say."
Yun Qi always answered Bai Yanqing's questions.
"His Royal Highness is already twenty this year. Why...before, the Emperor delayed marrying His Highness?"
Bai Yanqing finally asked the question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time.
Yun Qi was stunned at first, and then replied sadly: "Maybe in his eyes, I am the most useless son, so naturally I can't put any thought into it."
Although Yun Qi was right to say so, Bai Yanqing intuitively felt that the emperor might not think so!
Regardless, Bai Yanqing didn't want to delve into these matters. After all, royal affairs involved a wide range of things and couldn't be explained clearly in a few words.
"Your Highness, today, you have brought the Yuan family brothers and sisters into the palace in such a grand manner. Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will notice?"
The emperor's spies are everywhere in this palace. Bai Yanqing doesn't believe that the emperor doesn't know that Yun Qi has brought someone into the palace!
"It's okay. Ziyue was originally the attendant left to me by my mother. My father knows about this."
I see, that’s why Yuan Qi is always followed by Yuan Ziyue!
According to Yunqi, Yuan Ziyue has been with Yunqi since he was very young! As long as Yunqi can remember, Yuan Ziyue has been accompanying Yunqi to practice martial arts and read and write. Over the years, Yunqi has
Qi and Yuan Ziyue have long established an extremely deep relationship. In name, they are princes and followers, but in private, they are more like brothers, confidants, and friends!
As for Jin Yu Zhai, Yuan Ziyue is actually taking care of it most of the time. Of course, Jin Yu Zhai is not just a shop that buys and sells jade.
"What about...Yuan Li?"
Bai Yanqing looked at Yuan Li, who had her back turned to them, and couldn't help but feel a little curious about her!
Yuan Li, a girl, had a cold face and an unsmiling look from the moment she walked in. Her whole person was cold and cold, which made people shudder even more than the sword in her hand.
"Yuan Ji...hey..."
Yun Qi glanced over his head, glanced at Yuan Li, and then sighed slightly.
Yuan Li was also a miserable woman. Her parents died when she was young, and she followed Yuan Ziyue, her brother, who was away from home every day! When Yuan Li was a child, she often lived a life of not having enough to eat! Not Yuan Zi.
Yue can't afford to support this sister. It's really... Yuan Ziyue can't see Tian'er.
Home! Yuan Li was so young at the time that she couldn’t cook for herself! Later, when Grandma Sun learned about it, she felt sorry for her and sent someone to settle her down! Later, when Yuan Li was older, she began to
, following Yuan Ziyue around, her martial arts skills were also taught by Yuan Ziyue himself!
"So, Yuan Li suffered a lot when he was young."
Perhaps it was because of his own experiences in his early years that Bai Yanqing inexplicably developed some empathy for Yuan Li.
"You are luckier than Yuan Li. You still have the Ji family."
Yun Qi took a good look at Bai Yanqing and said with a smile.
"How did you know?"
After Bai Yanqing reacted, her eyes were full of shock!
Regarding the fact that the Ji family secretly takes care of her, Bai Yanqing thought that only the Bai family would be interested. She thought that her father was the only one who knew about it, but... when she heard Yun Qi say this, she thought... Yun Qi had already
Got it!
"I know far more than you know!"
There was no other emotion visible on Yun Qi's smiling face, but when Bai Yanqing saw Yun Qi like this, cold sweat broke out from behind for no apparent reason!
Bai Yanqing was like a hedgehog, all the thorns on her body suddenly stood up, and her whole body was in a defensive state. Her vigilant look amused Yunqi.
"Is it too late for you to be wary of me now?"
Yunqi smiled even more cheerfully. Looking at the little hedgehog-like woman in front of him, he was in a great mood!
Yun Qi's words immediately pierced the vigilance that Bai Yanqing had just raised! He was right. If he really wanted to deal with himself and the Ji family, he would have done it long ago, so why wait until now? Besides,
From the day the emperor decreed the marriage, the two of them were husband and wife, just... a grasshopper on a rope!
"Could it be that Your Highness has had a crush on me since childhood? This step-by-step plan looks like... it has been planned for a long time!"
Bai Yanqing also relaxed at that time. She looked at Yun Qi's smiling face and couldn't help but joke.
"Ah, how do you know? Have you seen through all this? As expected of my Yunqi's wife, she is extremely smart!"
Yun Qi stared at Bai Yanqing, and then joked half-seriously.
Bai Yanqing was stared at by Yun Qi and felt a little embarrassed. She glanced away and ignored him.
After all, Bai Yanqing is not as shameless as Yun Qi. She keeps talking about "lady" and "lady" all day long without being ashamed at all!
Seeing that Bai Yanqing was a little shy, Yun Qi didn't dare to tease her anymore for fear of scaring her. He probably knew better than her father what kind of temper his future wife would have!
After all, he didn't spend so many days and nights in vain!
"Yuan Li, I'll leave it to you. There's nothing special about her. You just need to... give her more food and she'll be fine! She's easy to feed!"
Seeing that Bai Yanqing remained silent and Yun Qi stopped teasing her, he straightened his back and explained to Bai Yanqing seriously.
"Your Highness is leaving now?"
Bai Yanqing raised her head and looked at Yun Qi. With her bright eyes, she looked very lovely!
"But you can't bear to leave me?"
Seeing this, Yunqi started to push his limits again.
Bai Yanqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's easy for Your Highness to leave, so I won't see you off."
"Yunji's side... is making a fuss! I have to help him change everything in the palace! Otherwise, he may not know how long he will make trouble again!"
Yun Qi shook his head helplessly and explained to Bai Yanqing.
I see!
However, when thinking about what happened last night, Bai Yanqing couldn't help but got goosebumps all over her body! I just don't know what happened to Ji Nanyan later! I don't know if Queen Gao punished her!
Then, Yun Qi gave a brief explanation and led Yuan Ziyue away!
