Yun Ji glanced at Lieutenant Ji who was lying on the ground. Surprisingly, he did not embarrass him. Just when everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they saw him walking towards Ji Nanyan. "You are the one, that one
…Ji Nanyan, Taiwei Ji’s daughter?”
Yun Ji looked down at the kneeling woman in front of him with a condescending look.
"Reply... report back to the third prince, it's my little girl."
The girl kneeling on the ground straightened up and said neither humble nor arrogantly.
"Did I, the prince, ask you to get up? Didn't the etiquette nuns in the palace go to your house to teach you the palace rules? Don't you know that in this huge palace, if the master doesn't let you get up, you are not allowed to get up without permission?
There are no rules!"
Yun Ji glanced at Ji Nanyan, who looked embarrassed. He didn't have any sympathy for her. What he said was merciless. And behind him, Taiwei Ji looked extremely embarrassed.
!
A daughter's family who has not yet left the court was reprimanded by the third prince in public for being unruly. If these words spread, it will be very damaging to Ji Nanyan's reputation.
"Raise your head and let me, the prince, have a look."
Yun Ji shouted at Ji Nanyan again. Ji Nanyan looked up and looked like she was about to cry. I really felt pity for him!
"How ugly!"
Yun Ji said a word and ran away.
Little did he know that his words made everyone present feel embarrassed, especially the Ji family members, whose faces were all earth-colored and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in!
This third prince really has a troublesome temperament. The daughter of the Ji family has been humiliated by him before she even entered the palace. One can imagine how embarrassed the Ji family is.
If this had happened to anyone else, they would have been so ashamed, but who is Ji Nanyan? Her father is not a fuel-efficient person to begin with, and she is naturally better than others.
Not only did Ji Nanyan have no intention of retreating, but after Yun Ji walked away, she stood up and stared at Yun Ji's back with a predatory look in her eyes.
"What are you doing kneeling on such a hot day? Get up quickly!"
Yun Ji walked up to Bai Yanqing, bent down and helped her up personally!
This enthusiastic and flattering behavior is completely different from the attitude towards Ji Nanyan just now!
hot?
Bai Yanqing was speechless. This autumn morning was so cool, where was the heat? She still felt a little cold!
"Thank you, Third Prince!"
Bai Yanqing took two steps back without leaving any trace, and put some distance away from Yun Ji. He was so careless and casual, but a serious person might not think so.
"Is breakfast available? It's definitely not available! I see you guys came in a hurry."
Yun Ji doesn't care about the looks of others, he can do whatever he wants and say whatever he wants. Who dares to comment?
"This is a snack that I, the prince, personally went to the imperial kitchen to ask for early in the morning. You can't taste it outside! Try it! It's still hot!"
Yun Ji ordered someone to hand over a food box, and then held it up to Bai Yanqing in front of everyone, looking like he was trying his best to please him!
Bai Yanqing was helpless, couldn't these three princes keep a low profile? If he made such a fuss, he would become a thorn in the side of these noble girls in the future! Although she agreed to Yun Ji that day, but now it seems that the emperor has not
He agreed openly, that is to say, regarding this matter... maybe the emperor had other ideas.
In this case, Bai Yanqing intuitively thought that he should not get too close to Yun Ji now, lest he fall into the facts and be fabricated again.
"Third prince, we give and receive privately... if this reputation spreads, it will not be good for you or me!"
Bai Yanqing said to Yun Ji in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is a reward from this prince! Since it is a royal reward, you cannot refuse it!"
Yun Ji was also smart and made an emergency response immediately. The volume of his words was neither too loud nor too soft, so everyone present could hear it!
Since it is a reward, others cannot make random guesses or make up rumors.
Bai Yanqing couldn't laugh or cry, so she ordered Cai Xing to accept it.
"Thank you, Third Prince, for the reward!"
Bai Yanqing bent her knees and returned the gift respectfully, making it impossible for anyone to find fault with her at all.
"Third Prince, everyone is still kneeling, please speak up!"
Bai Yanqing gritted her teeth and whispered to Yun Ji. Hearing this, Yun Ji seemed to suddenly remember, and then he spoke calmly and asked the man who was kneeling on the ground to get up!
After everyone heard this, they stood up one after another.
Just when everyone thought everything was calm, another lean figure appeared. After everyone saw his appearance clearly, they all knelt on the ground.
"Meet the eldest prince!"
All the ministers who were sending their daughters off said in unison. The family members who didn't know why also followed suit and knelt on the ground, kowtowing.
Seeing this, Bai Yanqing had a headache. Why...kneel endlessly? But everyone was kneeling, how could she not kneel? So, even though her body was not very smooth, Bai Yanqing still followed her, steadily.
The locals knelt down.
Bai Yanqing's bones have been weak since she was a child and she cannot bear the cold air. On this autumn morning, the floor tiles in front of the palace are especially cold. She can still clearly feel the coldness through her clothes.
The chill of the bones.
"Miss Bai, get up quickly! Why are you kneeling in such a cold place?"
As soon as the eldest prince opened his mouth, his stupidity was revealed.
Everyone knows that the person who everyone is kneeling on is the eldest prince, but Yunqi himself is better off, but it is said that Bai Yanqing is kneeling on the ground. This is the only thing that makes people laugh. This is the eldest prince who is not very smart.
Only then can I speak out.
But Bai Yanqing, unlike others, secretly laughed at Yun Qi's stupidity. She stood up steadily, supported by Cai Xing, and then knelt down to bless her. She was polite and courteous, acting like a lady, letting others look for her.
There's nothing wrong with it.
Seeing Bai Yanqing stand up, Yun Qi immediately stepped forward happily, and then pretending to be mysterious, he took out a food box behind him!
Food box again?
Bai Yanqing's head was filled with black lines. Did the two brothers discuss this?
"This is made by the chef in my palace. It's delicious! I heard that you were entering the palace today, so I ran over quickly! I let my third brother take the lead!"
Yun Qi handed the food box to Bai Yanqing while complaining with aggrieved face.
In the eyes of others, Yun Qi looks childish and naive, but in Bai Yanqing's eyes, Yun Qi does not lose his childlike innocence, and is really interesting and cute.
Bai Yanqing raised her hand and took the initiative to open the food box that Yun Qi handed over. Inside, she saw a stack of pastries neatly placed, with a vague warm air. It looked like they had been freshly baked.
I think the eldest prince was really in a hurry to get here. After all, it took a stick of incense to get from his prince's residence to the palace gate.
The autumn morning is already chilly, and the cakes will be completely cool without half a stick of incense when they come out of the pan, not to mention taking them out of the house after such a long journey?
"Thank you to the eldest prince for the reward. My little girl accepted it shamelessly."
Bai Yanqing replied softly.
"Hurry up and take a look at what this prince has brought!"
Yun Ji on the side was a little anxious. Why did Bai Yanqing take a look at the cakes his brother sent later, but did not open the food box he sent first?
When Bai Yanqing heard this, he hurriedly ordered Cai Xing to bring Yun Ji over and opened the food box.
The exquisite snacks do look more beautiful than those brought by the eldest prince. After all, they are made by the royal chef in the palace, and the chefs outside are naturally incomparable.
Under the expectant gazes of the two Yunqi brothers, Bai Yanqing had no choice but to cover her mouth and taste a piece of the snacks in the two food boxes.
Although the dim sum made by Yu Chu seems to be more refined, the taste is still a bit mediocre, too sweet and greasy, and the sweetness overwhelms the other flavors of the dim sum, which makes it lose its sense of priority.
The desserts made by the chef of the Grand Prince's Mansion may not be exquisite enough and visually unsatisfactory, but they taste good in the mouth. Surprisingly, these pastries are not sweet, but salty! The fillings inside
, fried in thin oil, not too greasy, wrapped in a thin dough and steamed in a steamer. Even if you eat it early in the morning, it will not feel greasy. It is sour when dipped in the chef's secret rice vinegar.
Yes, extremely appetizing!
“They are all delicious!”
Bai Yanqing squinted her eyes and looked at the two brothers with a smile. How could she dare to find fault with the food sent by the princes? She had no choice but to speak against her will.
But having said that, Bai Yanqing did prefer the snacks brought by the eldest prince.
"As long as Miss Bai likes it!"
Yunqi was as happy as a child when he saw that Bai Yanqing liked her. If it hadn't been an eyesore to everyone present, he would have pulled Bai Yanqing around in circles excitedly!
Thinking of "everyone", Bai Yanqing suddenly remembered that all the ministers and family members over there were still kneeling! So, Bai Yanqing had to ask for favors from everyone again!
"First Prince, look, everyone is still kneeling! This floor tile... is cold!"
"Is it cold? Why don't I feel it?"
The eldest prince looked indifferent, but he didn't know whether he really didn't notice it or whether he didn't notice it on purpose!
"My father is old and cannot kneel for that long. Please forgive me, the eldest prince!"
Bai Yanqing had a severe headache. This eldest prince... was really... ugh...
"Oh, yes, yes! Then, Prime Minister Bai, get up quickly!"
Hearing this, Yun Qi quickly turned around and reached out his hand to pull Bai Jingxuan up!
As for the others, Yun Qi turned a deaf ear, as if there was no one else in his eyes.
"Thank you, eldest prince!"
Bai Jingxuan stood up, bowed and thanked Yunqi.
The Bai family father and daughter are polite and polite, and no one can say anything if they let others do it!
"Then they..."
Bai Yanqing had no choice but to wink at Yunqi and signal him to let everyone get up.
"They are willing to kneel to me, the prince, right? Taiwei Ji?"
Yunqi turned around, towards where Taiwei Ji's family was, and spoke slowly and leisurely. That expression must be so innocent, so sincere, so sincere.
"Yes! The veteran and his family are all willing to do it!"
Speaking of which, Taiwei Ji had to be willing even if he didn't want to.
Bai Yanqing naturally knew that the two eldest princes and brothers were venting their anger on her behalf! However, at the same time, they also unknowingly made a powerful enemy for themselves! This Taiwei Ji's family, look at it, are not fuel efficient.
The lamp!
Bai Yanqing felt that her head was buzzing, and she had an intuition that when she entered the palace in the future, the daughter of the Ji family would probably regard her as a thorn in her side!
"You see, they are very willing! It is their blessing to have them kneel to me!"
Yun Qi said proudly, not paying any attention to the gray faces of the entire Ji family behind him.
Bai Yanqing was helpless, but the person in front of her was the emperor's son. How could she dare to comment on his decision-making at will? She could only laugh awkwardly with her smiling face.
The two Yunqi brothers didn't seem to notice anything was wrong. The two of them accompanied Bai Yanqing and waited at the palace gate, waiting for the time to arrive, while they bickered with each other leisurely. The quarrel was very enjoyable.
It seems that they have long forgotten that there is a group of people kneeling behind them!
For a time, Bai Yanqing's status surpassed all the noble ladies from the aristocratic families present!
