Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three The virtuous concubine is invited
After breakfast, Yuan Li, a stubborn man, went to Bai Yanqing to apologize again.
Seeing Yuan Li who was so persistent, Bai Yanqing really had a headache!
Yuan Li's explanation was that she was worried that if she really hurt someone, the emperor would find out later and blame Bai Yanqing! After all, it was Bai Yanqing who gave the order. In other words, Yuan Li did have concerns.
Worried that Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing will be affected.
Such an explanation is indeed something Yuan Li would consider.
Forget it, Bai Yanqing doesn't want to dwell on this matter anymore. The matter has already passed, and it doesn't make much sense to go back to the past.
At this moment, a palace attendant ran in. She carefully saluted Bai Yanqing, and then spoke back.
"Back to Miss Bai, someone from Jiyue Palace came outside, saying that... the noble concubine has invited me!"
The palace lady's voice was slightly trembling, as if she was extremely afraid of Bai Yanqing.
A noble concubine?
Bai Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and then she frowned slightly. She was thinking to herself, at this time, I wonder what the noble concubine Xian wanted to do with her!
"Caixing, go and reply in person and say... we will go to pay your respects to the imperial concubine later."
Bai Yanqing glanced at Cai Xing beside her and ordered her to answer the question in person. Cai Xing responded and then walked quickly towards the gate of Qiyun Hall.
Not long after, Cai Xing came back.
"Miss, please tell me, this is our first time going to Jiyue Palace, do we need to...bring some greeting gifts? It's not good, people will look down on us!"
Caixing Baba'er ran to Bai Yanqing and made suggestions.
Meeting gift?
"What do you think the Concubine Xian is like? She has never seen rare treasures? Would she be curious about the ordinary things we have in our hands?"
Bai Yanqing glared at Cai Xing. She didn't think it was a good thing to curry favor with a virtuous concubine. Now, in this palace, the best way to protect yourself is not to rely on anyone! No clinging, no flattery.
, guarding one-third of an acre of land is the choice of a smart person!
It’s just...Jiyue Palace...
Bai Yanqing suddenly thought of the Yunyi they met the day before, who was as cute as a little dumpling! Bai Yanqing suddenly felt a little shaken. It was okay not to flatter the virtuous concubine, but... she wanted to bring some greeting gifts to the little girl.
!
After all, what should I bring to Yunyi? As a princess, Yunyi naturally has no shortage of those rare things!
Bai Yanqing thought for a long time before she came up with two good things. She hurried back to the inner room and dug out her box of "treasures". After picking for a long time, she finally found two good things! She put the things away carefully,
He placed it close to his body and showed a satisfied smile!
Afterwards, Bai Yanqing led Cai Xing and Yuan Li to Jiyue Palace.
Along the way, Cai Xing was a little nervous. She was afraid that Concubine Xian would embarrass Bai Yanqing. Yuan Li, on the other hand, was used to such scenes in the past. She looked calm and not panicked at all.
Bai Yanqing is quite calm, and she is not worried at all that the Concubine Xian will make things difficult for her. After all, after all, she has been in the palace for so long, and she has never attached herself to anyone, nor is she like other girls from aristocratic families, who will be in trouble after entering the palace.
Traveling around and accumulating connections. Bai Yanqing has always kept a low profile, not offending anyone or currying favor with anyone. Based on this, Concubine Xian has no choice but to find an excuse to find fault with Bai Yanqing!
Finally, I arrived at Jiyue Palace. I saw two palace attendants waiting there for a long time at the gate of Jiyue Palace!
Seeing Bai Yanqing coming over, the two of them bowed to Bai Yanqing respectfully, and then one of them went in first to report. The remaining person led the way, leading the three masters and servants of Bai Yanqing towards the main hall.
.
Bai Yanqing followed the palace man, walking at a leisurely pace. Looking at Bai Yanqing, the three masters and servants were about to reach the entrance of the main hall, when suddenly, a small figure rushed towards them! They fell headfirst.
Here it is, Bai Yanqing! Bai Yanqing was startled, and subconsciously, she wanted to push the little person in front of her away, but unexpectedly, the little guy spoke first!
"Sister Bai!"
A soft voice sounded, stopping Bai Yanqing from pushing her away.
It’s Yunyi!
"Princess?"
When Bai Yanqing heard the familiar voice, her guard immediately relaxed. She raised her hand and gently rubbed Yun Yi's little head, acting so affectionately that even Cai Xing was jealous!
It turns out that her young lady has a new love... Wuwuwuwuwu...
"Concubine Mother promised me that she would invite Sister Bai to play, and Concubine Mother did not break her promise!"
Yunyi raised her head and looked at Bai Yanqing, who was much taller than her, with eyes full of joy!
"Yi'er, stop messing around!"
A soft voice came from the palace, stern yet soft at the same time. The gentle voice made it impossible for others to hear that it was a rebuke.
"Mother concubine!"
Hearing the sound, Yunyi quickly turned around and ran over.
"I have met the noble concubine!"
Bai Yanqing hurriedly straightened her body and bowed respectfully to Concubine Xian. Cai Xing and Yuan Li behind her also hurriedly bent down to salute.
The few people were very polite and attentive, and they did not neglect anything because of their acquaintance with Yunyi.
Concubine Xian nodded and ordered Bai Yanqing to be called in. However, Cai Xing and Yuan Li were stopped outside the main hall by palace attendants from Jiyue Palace. Cai Xing was a little impatient and was about to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Bai Yanqing.
With a look, he stopped in shock.
Concubine Xian doesn't want others to come in, then... Even if Cai Xing fights to the death outside the palace, Concubine Xian will not let her step into the main palace.
This is the rule in this harem!
After Bai Yanqing entered, the noble concubine was treated with great courtesy. She ordered the palace servants to serve tea and snacks, and also had people waiting on her!
Bai Yanqing was not reserved at all. Concubine Xian asked her to sit down, so she sat down. Concubine Xian asked her to have tea and snacks, so she had tea and snacks. She didn't look flustered at all, and she wasn't in any hurry to express her position. Seriously,
She has a calm and ladylike attitude! You can’t find anything wrong with her at all!
The noble concubine Xian didn't speak, so Bai Yanqing naturally couldn't speak first without permission! This competition is about who can keep calm!
Yunyi looked at this delicate scene, her little eyes rolling!
"Concubine, you asked Sister Bai to come over, why didn't you let her talk? That's so boring!"
Yunyi knelt down at the knees of the noble concubine Xian, hugged her legs and said coquettishly.
That's all, Concubine Xian couldn't defeat Yun Yi after all.
"Concubine, I just want to ask your sister Bai to take a drink of water and have a rest, okay?"
Concubine Xian's words seemed to be addressed to Yun Yi, but in fact, when she spoke, her eyes were looking at Bai Yanqing.
"That's what the Imperial Concubine said! My dear, thank you very much for your love!"
Seeing this, Bai Yanqing responded softly with a smile on her lips.
Seeing that Bai Yanqing was a smart and virtuous concubine, a smile appeared on her lips.
"Yesterday, I heard Yi'er came back and said that I met you outside and said that you played with her for a long time and she was very happy! After she came back, she kept clamoring to see you! I also took advantage of her
There's no way! Isn't that right? Today, I'm taking the liberty to invite Miss Bai over for a talk!"
Concubine Xian's words seemed a bit apologetic, but her face was very calm.
"The queen is joking. It is my blessing to be able to fall in the eyes of the princess! Why do you dare to say so?"
In such a polite situation, Bai Yanqing also just said it out of the blue. I am afraid that only the person who said it knows how much truth and how much falsehood it is.
"Sister Bai, can I go to the eldest brother's palace to play with you from now on?"
Yunyi turned around and ran to Bai Yanqing, looking at Bai Yanqing eagerly, her watery eyes full of expectation.
Bai Yanqing readily agreed to Yun Yi's request at first, and then asked Concubine Xian for her opinion. After a few words, she directly put the question to Concubine Xian! After all, Concubine Xian is Yun Yi's mother.
Concubine, if she doesn't agree, no matter how much others say, it will be useless.
"Mother! Are you okay?"
Yun Yi ran to Concubine Xian again, and kept shaking Concubine Xian's arms, acting coquettishly and cutely.
Concubine Xian had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"However, Yi'er has to make a three-part agreement with his mother and concubine!"
The noble concubine said sternly.
Yun Yun agreed and nodded hurriedly! That little head wanted to nod to the ground!
"First, before you go, you must inform your mother and concubine. You cannot sneak over and disturb your eldest brother and the others. Second, you must let the palace maids follow you. You cannot be willful and secretly throw them away! Third, you cannot
Play like crazy and make yourself sick! If you get sick from playing, my concubine will not allow you to leave Jiyue Palace again!"
Concubine Xian bent down and said patiently to Yunyi.
"Yes, concubine! The child must obey!"
Yun Jing saw Concubine Xian relieved, and almost jumped up with joy! She knelt down with a "pop" and kowtowed to Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian was so frightened that Concubine Xian hurriedly helped her up! For fear that she would kill herself.
My head is broken!
The scene of a loving mother and a filial son made Bai Yanqing couldn't help but quietly raise the corner of her mouth.
Yun Yi is very cute, and Concubine Xian... must be a gentle mother, right? No matter what kind of person Concubine Xian is, the sincere motherly love she shows towards Yun Yi in her eyes cannot be deceived!
"Empress, His Highness the Fifth Prince is back!"
Bai Yanqing was shocked when she heard the palace servant's reply. She stood up in a hurry and made it clear to leave.
"Miss Bai just came here and left in such a hurry before even saying a few words to me. Not only will I be sad, Yi'er will also be sad, right, Yi'er?"
Concubine Xian looked at Bai Yanqing with a smile, then lowered her head and said to Yun Yi.
"Yes! Sister Bai, don't leave in a hurry, I want you to stay a little longer!"
Yunyi turned around again and ran to Bai Yanqing's side. Her big eyes were instantly filled with tears.
this……
It doesn’t matter if Bai Yanqing leaves, it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t leave! It’s really embarrassing for her!
Well, Bai Yanqing couldn't resist Yun Yi in the end. She nodded and slowly sat down again.
However, what Bai Yanqing can't figure out is why Concubine Xian would deliberately keep her here? Logically speaking, Bai Yanqing is a woman waiting to be married and should not meet her husband in private. However, it is obvious that Concubine Xian does not want to at this moment.
let her go!
"Miss Bai, there is no need to worry, they are all family members."
As if she had guessed Bai Yanqing's thoughts, Concubine Xian said softly with a smile on her face.
Such soft words make people unable to say no.
Bai Yanqing was thinking secretly, wondering what the noble concubine Xian's plan was today.
It was undeniable that Yun Yi really wanted to see Bai Yanqing. Bai Yanqing had never doubted this. However, just as Bai Yanqing arrived at Jiyue Palace, Yun Kai came back. Could it be such a coincidence?
What makes Bai Yanqing even more unbelievable is that not only did Concubine Xian not let Bai Yanqing leave on her own, but she even didn't let Bai Yanqing avoid her. This is... a little unreasonable!
That's it, let's make peace with it now that it's here.
Bai Yanqing could only comfort herself in this way.
