Seeing Bai Linran wearing a screen, with Qian Lan and Yun Shu behind her, Mo Shaohua walked forward with his hands behind his back, hid the imperial edict in his sleeve, raised his hand and gently lifted her hair on the temples, and asked with a gentle expression: "Yes
Want to go out?"
Bai Ranran smiled and nodded, "Well, I'm a little bored. Let's take Qian Lan and Yun Shu out for a walk. If you have anything to do, go and do it. We won't go far."
"There are indeed some official matters that need to be dealt with. Don't let Yun Shu leave your side. I'll let the kitchen prepare whatever you want for lunch."
Mo Shaohua didn't touch her hand to see if it was warm like he did in the past, but just gave her a few words of advice.
"noon……"
Bai Ranran thought for a while, "I'll take Qian Lan and Yun Shu to eat barbecue. You don't have to wait for me to eat."
Mo Shaohua touched her head tenderly and told her not to go to places with few people and to pick her up when she was done. She obediently agreed and left with Qian Lan and Yun Shu.
After walking a few steps, she stopped and turned to look at Mo Shaohua.
Just as she caught Mo Shaohua's gaze, she raised an eyebrow at him and smiled, then turned and left.
After seeing her, why did he hide the imperial edict behind him?
Is there something she shouldn't know?
She was quite sensitive, so when she saw Mo Shaohua's weird behavior, she couldn't help but think more about it.
Looking at Bai Ranran's walking back, Mo Shaohua breathed a deep sigh of relief, but instead of feeling relieved, he felt even more depressed.
He took out the imperial edict in his sleeve, endured it again and again, then threw it away.
Seeing this, Sundial walked over silently, picked up the imperial edict, and followed Mo Shaohua not far or near.
His master was really upset today, otherwise he would definitely have to go out with him. If he didn't have time, he would have to hold him and give him some more instructions.
Bai Lianran also felt that Mo Shaohua had something on his mind, and he was absent-minded during the whole trip.
There are a dazzling array of products on the streets and bustling crowds, but Bai Qianran seems to be completely aloof.
She was in a daze, feeling that the street was very noisy, which made her feel inexplicably upset.
I looked up and saw the barbecue restaurant, turned around and walked in.
The waiter came up and greeted the three of them respectfully, "Hello sir, can you reserve a private room in advance?"
The business of the barbecue restaurant has always been very good, and there are often no seats available if you arrive late. Many wealthy people who like peace and quiet will have someone come and book a private room in advance.
It's almost noon now, all the private rooms have been booked, and only the lobby has vacancies.
It was a rare visit to a barbecue restaurant for Bai Ranran, and she wasn't going to eat anywhere else, so she just found a corner seat and sat down.
She didn't put much thought into her business during this period, but based on the considerable income last month, she knew the business was good, but she didn't expect it to be so good.
Yun Shu had been getting along with Bai Lianran for a long time. He was with Bai Lianran in private and sat at the same table with her when eating. Bai Lianran asked her to sit down, so she sat down without hesitation.
It happened to be dinner time, and the lobby was gradually filled with guests.
Bai Lanran took the menu and ordered two pieces of meat, then handed the menu to Qian Lan, "See what you want to eat and order it yourself."
It was Qianlan's first time to go to a restaurant, and she was a little fresh. She looked at the menu and imitated Bai Lanran's look, pointing to the two dishes above to the waiter.
After he finished ordering, Bai Liran brought the menu to Yun Shu.
Yun Shu was not picky about what he ate and gave it directly to the waiter.
Bai Lanran looked at all kinds of people in the lobby, feeling a little lost.
She kept thinking about Mo Shaohua's reaction to something wrong today.
At that time, she could tell that Mo Shaohua didn't want her to know, so she didn't ask, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Mo Shaohua even confessed his complicated and secret life experience to her, and he never hid other things from her. There was nothing she couldn't know.
"Hey, isn't this the king and concubine who lives in the palace without leaving even before they get married, thinking that she can sit back and relax just because she is pregnant with the child?"
An inappropriate voice interrupted Bai Ranran's thoughts.
Bai Lanran looked up and saw Ning Jinman sitting at the next table, looking at her with disdain.
The two maids behind Ning Jinman also looked at her with disdain.
That arrogant look in his eyes seemed to be looking at a local dog that had fallen into the quagmire, which made people very uncomfortable.
Sure enough, what kind of master he is and what kind of maid he brings out.
Bai Ranran didn't want to cause trouble in a crowded place and make others look at her as a joke, so she remained calm. The dog was barking next to her and ignored her.
This eldest lady is just spoiled by her family and has a bit of a venomous mouth, but she won't really do anything bad. She really doesn't want to deal with it.
In the past, Ning Jinman would have been angry when Bai Ranran ignored her. Today, not only was she not angry, she even ordered the dishes calmly, with a smile on her lips.
She originally wanted to make Bai Lianran feel sick, but Bai Lianran sat as firm as a rock and didn't give her any peripheral vision.
Bai Liran's side of the dish was served, and she skillfully placed the meat slices on the baking tray.
Ning Jinman glanced over from time to time and seemed to be in a good mood.
Bai Lanran ignored her, and she couldn't help but find fault, "I really think that I am Princess Ning. Princess Ning is not just you. However, you, a commoner, can be on an equal footing with the daughter of a third-rank minister, which is already a great virtue accumulated by your ancestors."
.”
"Miss Ning, pay attention to your body..."
"Yunshu."
Bai Liran stopped Yun Shu and put the roasted meat on the baking sheet into a light blue bowl with a nonchalant expression.
What do Ning Jinman’s words mean?
Why should the daughter of a third-rank minister be considered an equal?
Combined with Mo Shaohua's reaction today, Bai Ranran actually already had the answer in her heart, but she just didn't want to admit it subconsciously.
She looked unusually calm on her face, but her hands holding the chopsticks were trembling unnoticeably.
The imperial edict in Mo Shaohua's hand was a marriage edict. The woman was the daughter of a third-rank official, so she was on an equal footing with her.
Ah!
Should she thank the Dog Emperor for not letting her be a puppy?
She was calm on the outside, but inside she was in a state of turmoil.
She would experience many dangers when she was with Mo Shaohua, and it would go against the life she had expected before, but she didn't care about these.
But she couldn't tolerate having to work with other people.
It doesn't matter whether you love or not, this is the principle and the bottom line.
What she wants is love wholeheartedly, not even a penny less. If she wants to share it with others, then she would rather not have it.
Bai Ranran's hand holding the chopsticks was about to break, but her face remained as calm as water, showing no emotion at all.
She has long since learned to hide her emotions, and has always done a good job, except when facing Mo Shaohua.
She ignored Ning Jinman, and Ning Jinman did not find it boring, and continued her soliloquy, "You also know how to use dirty tricks to seduce Prince Ning, and get pregnant with his child. From Jiang...
"
Realizing that Jiang Wanyue had a bad reputation and not wanting to be involved with her anymore, he changed the topic and said, "Don't be too proud. Your Highness, Prince Ning, is so popular among men. How could he marry you as the princess? Miss Guo Shangshu's family
But the most talented woman in Kyoto, His Majesty granted her a marriage and let her enter the palace on the same day as you, saying that she is an equal. When she has a child, she will definitely overwhelm you, and you will not be able to live a good life."
Ning Jinman didn't know why, but she just didn't like Bai Ranran.
Maybe it was because she made Ning Zhiyuan sad, so she felt annoyed no matter how he looked at her, and she felt happy when she saw her deflated.
Her brother had always been high-spirited in her mind. The night he learned that Bai Liran was the one he would never get, he got extremely drunk and sat on the porch without saying a word all night.
Although she knew in her heart that this matter was not to blame for Bai Lianran, seeing her reminded her of her brother's sadness, and felt that she was an eyesore.
Bai Lanran ignored her and didn't let Qianlan and Yun Shu pay attention to her. She said a few words and found them boring, so she said no more.
When the meal was almost finished, Mo Shaohua walked in from the outside, spotted Bai Ranran's figure in the corner of the lobby, and walked towards her.
Bai Lanran saw him when he entered the door. His outstanding appearance was really hard not to notice.
Before Mo Shaohua walked in, she stood up and called Qianlan to greet him.
Yun Shu got up as usual and went to check out first. When he turned around, he saw Bai Lianran going out without saying a word, and Mo Shaohua followed closely without saying a word.
After leaving the barbecue restaurant, Mo Shaohua went back to grab Bai Lianran's hand. Bai Lianran stuffed her hands into the sleeves, as if she didn't see his movements, and quietly dodged away.
"Ran'er is full. Do you want to go to the preserve store and buy some preserved fruits?"
From the moment he saw her, Mo Shaohua's eyes never left her face. Although she didn't show any obvious signs, Mo Shaohua still felt keenly that she was not in a good mood.
Bai Ranran looked sideways at him, curled her lips towards him, and smiled sweetly, "Okay, go buy some, there aren't many left in the house."
She turned to look at Yun Shu, "You take Qianlan back first, and I'll go for a walk with the prince."
