But... how can Bai Yanqing be sure that the little white snake in her hand is the one she let go in the palace? After all, there is not only one little white snake in this world!
Bai Yanqing didn't say anything. Instead, she carefully placed the little snake in her palm and took it back to the house. Although Caixing was a little scared, she couldn't help but followed her out of curiosity!
"Look, the top of its head is different from other white snakes!"
Bai Yanqing raised her palm and placed the white snake lying obediently in her palm in front of Cai Xing and Yuan Li, letting them take a closer look! Upon seeing this, Cai Xing was so frightened that he took a few steps back and hid behind Yuan Li.
!
However, what Bai Yanqing said was indeed correct. This white snake seemed to have two soft tentacles on its head!
It's unprecedented for a snake to grow horns! It's really unheard of!
"Before, when I saw it in the palace, there were only two soft tentacles on its head, which were as soft as flesh bumps. After not seeing it for many days, the horns on its head have actually grown out!"
Bai Yanqing stretched out her delicate white fingers and stroked the little white snake's head twice, and it spat out the message comfortably! Then it tilted its head and lay in Bai Yanqing's hand, as if it was asleep!
"How did it get here from the palace?"
Cai Xing still couldn't believe it. How did this little guy come such a long way?
Bai Yanqing shook his head. Obviously, no one knew about this problem. Then, Bai Yanqing put Cai Xing and Yuan Li away and played with the little white snake in his hand!
At this moment, the little white snake straightened up as if sleeping uncomfortably, and then swished along Bai Yanqing's wrist and swam into her sleeve. The cold snake body was startling.
Bai Yanqing got goosebumps all over her body!
Bai Yanqing reached out and tried to take out the little white snake from her sleeve! But after groping for a long time, Bai Yanqing could not touch anything else except the wooden box!
Seeing no one around, Bai Yanqing took out the small wooden box from her sleeve and was about to open it to study it carefully. Unexpectedly, when she opened the wooden box, what came into view was the small wooden box.
White snake! I saw it, sleeping with the night pearl coiled around it!
this……
Bai Yanqing was stunned. The little white snake and its small snake body were tightly wrapped around the luminous pearl! Most of the dazzling light of the luminous pearl was blocked by its snake body! The light of the luminous pearl was reflected on the whole body.
The snow-white little snake seemed to have turned transparent at this moment! It seemed to be integrated with the shining night pearl. If you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't tell the difference!
This scene is really quite strange!
Bai Yanqing reached out and carefully touched the little white snake a few times. It seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and did not move. No matter how Bai Yanqing teased it, it never woke up!
Is it... hibernating?
Although Bai Yanqing was very curious, she did not dare to disturb it rashly, so she closed the wooden box and put it into her sleeve again!
"Sleep well!"
Bai Yanqing raised her arms and patted her sleeves gently, with a smile on her face.
The next day.
Yunqi brought news from the palace again, saying that Concubine Xian and the emperor had settled their old feud, and that the emperor still favored Concubine Xian. When he received the news, Bai Yanqing was discussing with Cai Xing to go to Doctor Hua.
Stealing fruit from the yard!
"Can they...really be able to clear up their past feud?"
Bai Yanqing raised her head and glanced at Yun Qi, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Whether it's true or not, at least now, my father doesn't make things difficult for her anymore!"
Yun Qi raised his eyebrows and said without paying much attention.
Yun Qi is not very interested in Concubine Xian, as long as she is not an enemy!
"By the way, ask someone to bring this to Concubine Xian!"
Bai Yanqing hurried back to the house, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and found a small porcelain vase.
Yun Qi looked at the small porcelain vase in Bai Yanqing's hand, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked!
"this……"
After Yun Qi was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but laugh!
"You...are you borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha?"
Yun Qi joked with a smile.
It turns out that the small porcelain bottle in Bai Yanqing's hand was the medicine given to Bai Yanqing by Yun Qi when he was still a "masked man"!
"Now, I don't need it anymore, just give it to her."
Bai Yanqing smiled and put the medicine bottle into Yun Qi's hand, and Yun Qi accepted it with a helpless smile.
No matter what, this is Bai Yanqing's intention!
"Can you bring these into the palace together and give them to Yunyi?"
Bai Yanqing moved out a few jars of the newly brewed jam from Xingxing earlier, and wanted to ask Yunqi to bring it to Yunyi!
"This is not easy to handle! If my father's people notice it, I'm afraid they will think that the noble concubine Xian has some dealings with us!"
Yun Qi frowned slightly and shook his head in embarrassment. He really couldn't take these things with him.
The emperor has just become suspicious of Concubine Xian. At this time, if Bai Yanqing delivers something to Yunyi, it will definitely arouse the emperor's vigilance. By then, Concubine Xian will be the one to suffer. If not, Yun Yi will be hurt too!
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing was a little disappointed, but she also understood that what Yun Qi said was indeed reasonable.
"Then...it doesn't matter, just wait until later...there will definitely be a chance in the future!"
Bai Yanqing smiled again, her eyes sparkling.
Yunqi naturally knew that Bai Yanqing was disappointed, but he was also helpless. At this time, keeping a distance from the virtuous concubine was the best way to protect their mother and son!
"Ling Yu said that the pears in Old Man Hua's backyard are ripe again. I'm about to ask Yuan Li and Cai Xing to pick some and bring them back! Do you want to come with us?"
Bai Yanqing's watery eyes were full of energy. It seemed that she was in a good mood!
Yunqi shook his head. He was not interested in any of this. In this rare half-day of leisure, he just wanted to spend more time with Bai Yanqing quietly!
"I heard that someone came from the Ji family last night?"
Yunqi pulled Bai Yanqing over and, while squeezing her fair skin, talking to Bai Yanqing seemingly casually.
Bai Yanqing was stunned, knowing that she couldn't hide it from him: "Yes, last night, my uncle came here! He came to give me a birthday gift!"
Yun Qi nodded and did not ask in detail what Ji Jinxiu had sent! Bai Yanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that she wanted to hide it from Yun Qi, but... after all, Ji Jinxiu had warned her not to let others see it, and she was not good either.
It goes against her uncle's wishes, doesn't it?
"You should be more careful next time. I can find out, and people from my father's side can also find out."
Yunqi whispered.
Bai Yanqing stared blankly at Yun Qi for a long time before she came back to her senses. She thought... Yun Qi was guarding against the Ji family, but she never thought that he actually meant this! Now, Bai Yanqing felt a little ashamed.
Now, I feel that I am judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!
"Don't worry! If you don't want to talk about your matter, I won't force you! I said that I have never thought of using you to win over the Ji family and the Bai family. You can rest assured about this!"
As if he had read through Bai Yanqing's thoughts, Yun Qi raised his eyes, looked at Bai Yanqing's surprised face, and said with a smile.
Now that Yun Qi mentioned this, Bai Yanqing had something to ask him.
"I didn't think of asking before, but now that I have some free time, I want to ask. Your Highness... you didn't want to win over the Ji and Bai families, so why... did you choose me?"
Bai Yanqing finally asked the question that had been buried for a long time in her heart.
If according to what Yun Qi said before, Yun Qi's plan started when Yun Ji first visited the Bai Mansion and asked to marry Bai Yanqing, then why did he choose Bai Yanqing instead of the high-ranking family next to him?
Daughter of a noble family?
Bai Yanqing asked herself that she was not outstanding in appearance. In this huge capital, there were many women from aristocratic families who were more beautiful than Bai Yanqing and knew how to write and be courteous! Why did Yun Qi go to all the trouble just to marry Bai Yanqing?
"Because... I have been pleased with you since I was a child!"
Yun Qi smiled, his bright eyes full of love for Bai Yanqing.
Since childhood?
Where do you start talking about this? Bai Yanqing doesn’t remember where she met Yun Qi when she was a child!
"The first time I saw you was when your mother held you in her arms! At that time, my mother told me that this girl would be my future wife! I must protect you!"
Yunqi looked at Bai Yanqing, and his thoughts drifted back to fourteen years ago.
At that time, Yunqi was only a child of five or six years old. That was the first time he met Bai Yanqing and Bai Yanqing's biological mother, Ji Jinchu!
At that time, the late Queen's body was already much worse than before! She privately issued an edict to recruit Ji Jinchu into the palace, with the title: Shiji!
At that time, Bai Yanqing was still in her infancy. Ji Jinchu ignored the obstruction of the Bai family's old lady Ren and insisted on bringing Bai Yanqing into the palace together.
The late Queen fell in love with Bai Yanqing at the first sight. Looking at the little girl who was still in her infancy and waiting to be fed, she immediately promised Bai Yanqing to her eldest son, Yun Qi, in front of Ji Jinchu!
"Come on, Qier, come and take a look! This is the wife you will marry in the future!"
At that time, Queen An gently pulled Yunqi aside and brought him to the wet nurse.
That was the first time in Yunqi's life that he saw such a cute girl! With a pink face and a pair of big black eyes, she was staring at Yunqi without blinking!
Yun Qi stretched out his finger and touched it gently. The soft little face, the baby girl, not only did not cry, but actually laughed "giggle"! Yun Qi's heart was filled with laughter.
He softened! He still remembered that he was very happy to say to his queen mother: "Queen mother! Qier likes her! When Qier grows up, he wants to marry her!"
That year, the whims of the jokes among the elders were thought to disappear with the death of the late empress! But Yunqi firmly remembered it and remembered the person he wanted to marry in the future.
For Bai Yanqing’s little girl!
"Xianxian... must be a very gentle person."
Bai Yanqing gently took Yunqi's hand and pulled him back from his thoughts on the past. She didn't want him to be too obsessed with the past.
"My mother is the most gentle woman I have ever seen! She seems to be smiling all the time. There are very few times when she is sad. Even in the last days of her life, she never said anything to us brothers in a depressed manner.
Depressing words!"
Yun Qi's eyes were slightly hot. If his mother hadn't died young, maybe the two brothers wouldn't be living such a difficult life now!
"How can the life in the palace make a woman trapped in it smile all the time? I think your mother just doesn't want to tell you two brothers about those troublesome things!"
Bai Yanqing didn't believe how happy she was in the palace.
"What kind of disease did you get? That's why... you went away?"
I have always heard from Yun Qi that the late Queen died of a serious illness, but I have never heard of what kind of disease she had! Therefore, Bai Yanqing was a little curious! What kind of disease can make a woman as young as a flower sick?
, passed away so early!
"She... didn't die of illness, she was killed by someone!"
Yun Qi stood up suddenly! His words were full of anger! His usually gentle eyes were filled with overwhelming hatred at this moment!
Bai Yanqing had never seen Yun Qi like this before. She was really shocked by Yun Qi's appearance!
This was also the first time that Bai Yanqing learned from Yun Qi that he had been killed one after another!
