"Then...the eldest prince thinks that a girl from the He family is worthy of you?"
For some reason, Bai Yanqing suddenly became curious about what kind of woman Yun Qi wanted. After all, Yun Qi was already twenty this year. Logically speaking, at his age, he should have married a long time ago.
Hearing Bai Yanqing's question, Yun Qi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, stared at Bai Yanqing and replied, "Sister Bai!"
Bai Yanqing was stunned, what did Yun Qi suddenly ask her to do? Only when she reacted again did she understand what Yun Qi meant.
"The eldest prince is joking!"
At this moment, Bai Yanqing felt remorseful and just wanted to bite off her tongue. She hated herself for teasing Yunqi when she had nothing to do.
"Sister Bai, she is beautiful, soft and fragrant..."
Yun Qi stared at Bai Yanqing with his sparkling eyes, staring straight at Bai Yanqing, wanting to find a crack in the ground and crawl in!
Who said Yun Qi doesn't understand the affairs between men and women? What he said now really made people blush!
"Ahem...the eldest prince, walk slowly!"
Bai Yanqing's intuition was that she couldn't figure out the reason from Yun Qi's place, so she had no choice but to urge Yun Qi to leave quickly!
For some reason, Bai Yanqing always felt that there was something different about Yun Qi today. She couldn't explain the specific reason why it was different!
Yunqi is still the same as before, silly and easy to tease, but...that's all, I don't want to think about it anymore, Bai Yanqing comforted herself.
After finally coaxing Yun Qi away, Bai Yanqing was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but she was targeted by that ignorant person again!
"I said you are a playboy, but I am not wrong at all! The third prince is deeply in love with you, but here you are seducing his brother! In broad daylight, hugging each other, where do you put the third prince?"
Ji Nanyan's voice is always so out of place.
Bai Yanqing had a headache. Why could Ji Nanyan see her every time? Is she hiding in someone else's body? How come Ji Nanyan could spot Bai Yanqing wherever she went?
"Miss Ji, if you want to vindicate the injustice of the third prince, just go to him and talk to him! What's the use of staring at me all day long when you have nothing to do?"
Bai Yanqing really convinced Ji Nanyan, she was the only one who was so patient and kept an eye on Bai Yanqing's movements.
"I'm keeping an eye on you on behalf of the third prince! I'll save you from doing anything immoral and causing trouble for him!"
Ji Nanyan obviously didn't notice Bai Yanqing's mood at the moment.
"noob!"
Bai Yanqing stopped smoking with Ji Nan and directly released the little white snake wrapped around her wrist.
After Xiaobai slipped out, at Bai Yanqing's signal, he swam in the direction of Ji Nanyan.
"Ah! Bai Yanqing, you! You actually let the snake go? You are going too far! Ahhhhhh!"
When Ji Nanyan saw the little white snake swimming towards her, she was immediately frightened!
For a moment, Ji Nanyan's screams resounded throughout the Chuxiu Palace!
"Xiaobai, you're back!"
Bai Yanqing shook her hand, and the little white snake swam back obediently, as if it had understood her words, and then crawled obediently into Bai Yanqing's hand.
At that time, Ji Nanyan had already collapsed on the ground in fear.
Bai Yanqing didn't bother to pay attention to Ji Nanyan, whether she was dead or alive, and just went back to her room.
Inside the house, Cai Xing was packing things alone, which were the things that Grandma Sun sent just now.
Bai Yanqing stepped forward and looked carefully. They were all rare things. Even one of them would be... priceless!
"Put them all away! Let me find a reason later and deliver them to the eldest prince and third prince!"
Bai Yanqing sighed helplessly. Bai Yanqing would never dare to wear these jewelry on herself.
Apart from the Yunqi brothers, not many others would be willing to see the relics.
…
In Chuxiu Palace, it has been unusually quiet these past two days. Everyone is staying peacefully in their own rooms, preparing for their first banquet after entering the palace. This is also... a decision for them to be able to do in the future.
A banquet where it flies up a branch and becomes a phoenix!
Compared with others, Bai Yanqing seemed to be unusually calm. She was either playing with the little white snake, picking stars, or going to the garden with her. However... these two days, Bai Yanqing deliberately avoided Yun Qi's possible encounters.
Those places we visited.
For some reason, after what happened in the past two days, Bai Yanqing always felt... an indescribable awkwardness in her heart! Subconsciously, she was a little afraid of seeing Yun Qi!
Tomorrow is the day for the banquet agreed upon by the emperor's imperial edict. The other girls from the aristocratic families have all started preparing early. But Bai Yanqing, she still looks like she doesn't care about the matter.
"Miss, at least you are ready. If you are still so lazy tomorrow, it will be bad if you make all the nobles unhappy!"
Caixing persuaded her earnestly, fearing that Bai Yanqing would be compared to others.
"Me? What's wrong with me? Is this bad for me?"
Bai Yanqing stood in front of Cai Xing and turned around carelessly.
The fluttering skirt, the hair moving in the wind, the jingle of no complicated jewelry, the pretense of restraint... the whole body exudes wanton joy!
Young and beautiful!
"Okay, of course, my lady is always the best! It's just... they all... slaves are worried about them and underestimate the lady!"
Cai Xing looked even more worried than Bai Yanqing, with worry on his little face.
"What are you afraid of! The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and earth!"
Bai Yanqing reached out and patted Cai Xing on the shoulder, comforting her again and again.
Bai Yanqing has always been a person who doesn't like to compete. Let them steal the limelight. She just wants to be quiet and have a meal... After all, I heard that the emperor hosted a banquet with many delicacies! When I think of these days,
The meal at Chuxiu Palace was bland and tasteless, so she was especially looking forward to tomorrow's dinner!
Everyone else is looking forward to how to stand out among the daughters of other noble families. How to steal the show in front of the emperor. How to attract the attention of the princes and find a good husband... But Bai Yanqing is only looking forward to having a delicious meal.
…
"Miss, what kind of clothes will you wear tomorrow? Cai Xing will pick them out for you first!"
Cai Xing still felt that he had to prepare first, in case there was a temporary situation tomorrow and he would be in a hurry, which would not be good.
Bai Yanqing didn't even look at it, and just designated the set of clothes that Yun Ji sent.
Bai Yanqing didn't bring any clothes with her when she entered the palace this time. On weekdays, she only wore a change of clothes from the few sets of clothes sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was also the few sets of clothes sent by Yun Ji and Grandma Sun.
Able to get on the stage.
As for the jewelry, Bai Yanqing did not want to wear the jewelry sent by Grandma Sun. They were too cumbersome, clinking on the body, too flashy, and not suitable for Bai Yanqing's age.
Bai Yanqing touched her sleeve, took out her mother's jade bracelet, and put it on her wrist. Bai Yanqing's wrist became more and more slender and white.
"Miss, tomorrow, you must not take Xiaobai with you. If the guards see you, you may be punished for despising the monarch and assassinating the master!"
Caixing caught a glimpse of the little white snake on Bai Yanqing's wrist and couldn't help but say.
Bai Yanqing was not a fool, so she naturally knew the stakes involved. She had no intention of taking Xiao Bai with her.
"Okay, don't worry about this. Didn't Grandma Sun say that? Tomorrow, the aunts of Chuxiu Palace will warn us. You don't have to be so gloomy and bitter!"
Bai Yanqing couldn't bear to see Cai Xing's appearance. Seeing Cai Xing's frown, Bai Yanqing wanted to step forward and smooth Cai Xing's brow!
It was rare that these two days were free and she didn't have to be detained in Chuxiu Palace. In order to relieve the pressure of collecting stars, Bai Yanqing decided to take her out for a walk. Anyway, the aunt in charge said that as long as they didn't bump into the nobles, they were allowed to go.
visit.
Go up a tree to dig out bird's nests? Go down to the lake to fish for fish and shrimps? That's definitely not possible! How can a woman from an elegant family be so rude and ignorant of the rules?
In such a huge palace, you can't do this or move that. The only thing left is to "walk around"...
Bai Yanqing took Caixing and walked around, but she didn't know what was interesting about the palace. It was so boring!
Bai Yanqing was bored, so she found a pavilion and sat down with some lack of interest. She stared blankly at the carp jumping happily in the lake, feeling a little melancholy in her heart. Days like this
, when will it end? Are these women in the palace really happy?
"Miss, I asked the palace servant over there for some fish food. If you are bored, how about we feed the fish?"
Of course Cai Xing could tell, and Bai Yanqing was bored, and she could also tell that she was in a bad mood. But...how could it be that the young lady of her family was trapped in this palace wall?
Why……
Bai Yanqing took the fish food from Cai Xing's hand, stretched out his hand to pick up a handful of fish food, and sprinkled it into the water casually. A group of colorful carp suddenly swarmed in, happily fluttering and jumping...The churning water splashed,
All over Bai Yanqing!
Seeing this, Cai Xing quickly took out his handkerchief, bent down and wiped the water stains on Bai Yanqing's clothes.
Bai Yanqing waved her hand towards Caixing, as if she didn't care. She continued to pick up a handful of fish food and threw it into the water. Then she looked at the jubilant fish and stared blankly for a long time... After a long time, Bai Yanqing didn't show any signs of it.
I sensed someone approaching.
"Caixing, there is no more fish food, please give me some more!"
Without even raising her head, Bai Yanqing stretched out her hand towards Cai Xing behind her.
After waiting for a while and seeing no movement from Caixing, Bai Yanqing felt that something was wrong. Just when she was about to retract her hand, a big warm hand held her hand.
Bai Yanqing was startled, quickly withdrew her hand, then turned around and looked behind her.
"First Prince? Why are you here?"
After seeing the face of the visitor, Bai Yanqing was a little surprised. She had deliberately avoided all the places where Yun Qi would go, but unexpectedly, she still met him by this small lake!
"I'll... fish!"
Yunqi waved the fishing rod in his hand, with a cheerful smile on his face. The fishing rod in his hand was the one Bai Yanqing made for him earlier!
"My little girl's craftsmanship is poor, and the fishing rod she made is not practical. Your Highness should have someone buy you a new one that is useful."
Bai Yanqing looked at the fishing rod and suddenly spoke. There was a bit of indifference and alienation in her words.
"I think it's very good! My sister from the Bai family made it by herself, it's very good!"
The "very good" in Yunqi's mouth sounded to Bai Yanqing's ears as if it meant something else.
"The bracelet is very beautiful and suits you very well."
Yunqi caught a sharp glimpse of the jade bracelet on Bai Yanqing's wrist and suddenly spoke again.
Bai Yanqing was stunned. She followed Yun Qi's eyeliner and looked at her wrist.
"This jade bracelet..."
"It's Aunt An from the White House who asked me to bring it to you. She... cares about you very much! She said that you can feel at ease in the palace, and she will take care of the White House so that you have no worries!"
Yun Qi actually took the initiative to speak and explained the ins and outs of the jade bracelet clearly. This surprised Bai Yanqing! Obviously, when she specifically asked him to ask him before, he refused to say anything. Why did it suddenly happen now?
Ken said it?
"Your Highness...are you familiar with Aunt An? Why would Aunt An ask you to bring the jade bracelet to my daughter?"
Bai Yanqing was puzzled. She didn't think that Yunqi and Aunt An were very familiar.
But, why didn't Aunt An entrust the jade bracelet to Yun Ji, instead, entrusted it to Yun Qi? Logically speaking, Yun Ji and Bai Yanqing should be more familiar with each other.
