Bailiyou took out a book and handed it to her. Mu Qingyan opened it and saw that it was not a historical fact, but a novel that she had never read.
It consists of several stories, but they are all about strange people, strange things, and weird gossip.
So, he actually still sees this kind of thing??
Considering that he is usually indifferent to others and acts vigorously and resolutely, he should be reading some official history, but there is such a book.
Her gaze was so weird that it was difficult for Bailiyou to ignore it. He asked her dumbfounded, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I just didn't expect that as a prince of a country, I would read this kind of thing." She lowered her head and flipped through the book. She really didn't expect it.
Bailiyou didn't refute her or answer.
How did Mu Qingyan know that this book was specially chosen for her by him.
He knew that she would be uncomfortable being alone with him, so he took great pains to find these books.
Mu Qingyan had just read a page when she saw from the corner of her eye that the man put down the book and took out two more boxes from the cabinet next to him, which were also food boxes.
?Didn’t he eat just now? Wait, how much did he prepare?
Mu Qingyan's face was full of doubts.
Bailiyou opened the red box, and the layers inside were filled with snacks, chestnut cakes, osmanthus cakes, water chestnut cakes and other exquisite pastries.
What about the other one?
Mu Qingyan looked away from the book, and the latter chuckled, satisfying her curiosity.
It's candied fruit and some fruits.
Both are delicious snacks.
"If you're bored, just eat." He said. The journey was very long and required a long carriage ride. He could only try his best to prevent her from getting bored.
"This..." Looking at his handsome face, Mu Qingyan felt mixed emotions in her heart and was greatly shocked.
She could recognize some of them. Only folk could make this kind of snacks. They were not available in the palace, but they appeared here.
So he was really preparing carefully and taking everything into consideration, just because he was afraid that she wouldn't be used to it.
Moreover, when she scanned the snacks, they all had flavors that she didn't dislike, but how could he know her preferences so clearly?
I even thought of these.
"Eat more if you like it." Bailiyou said with some expectation in his eyes.
Mu Qingyan had a complicated look on her face. She reached out and picked up a candied fruit and put it into her mouth. It tasted sour and sweet.
Now that we have come to this point, if she continues to be ungrateful, she will look petty.
Seeing that she was satisfied, Bailiyou breathed a sigh of relief. I have to say that this time the progress was really great.
They had never been like this before. She was only bored with him. How could they live in harmony like they do now?
But Mu Qingyan didn't eat much because she was already full, she just tasted some after the meal.
Her attention returned to the book, reading page after page. As time passed, sleepiness came over her, and she became a little drowsy.
She slept too late last night, and today before dawn, Fenxiang urged her to wash up and dress up for half an hour, then got into the carriage and had another meal.
Thanks to those few candied fruits, she was even sleepier now.
But even so, she forgot where she was. This was on Bailiyou's carriage. How could she sleep so imagelessly.
Mu Qingyan pinched herself a little and woke up a little. However, the good times did not last long and she became more and more sleepy.
In the end, she could only adjust her sitting position so that her body was facing Bailiyou, so that she would not be easily found to be sleepy, even if she was discovered...
Then let's break the jar, thinking so, she closed her eyes.
In fact, Bailiyou had been paying attention to her. He had noticed that she was sleepy a long time ago. Just because he was thin-skinned, he pretended to read seriously. After feeling her even breathing, he gently put down the book.
He tiptoed over to her. The girl was already fast asleep, but she hugged herself subconsciously. Bailiyou's heart tightened when she saw it.
Is this considered subconscious self-protection?
Bailiyou looked at her eyebrows carefully, trying to find something out of her face, but he couldn't see anything strange from head to toe.
In fact, he had noticed very early that Mu Qingyan now was different from before. Her current state... was somewhat similar to her later in life.
She had been suspicious since she started hating Baili Qi and started to alienate him, because he had witnessed with his own eyes that she was willing to die to break off the engagement for Baili Qi, but when he rushed to save her that day, he saw someone at the door.
She was eavesdropping outside.
God knows how shocked he was at that time. He who was always calm almost showed his weakness.
Later, her style was also very different, almost abandoning everything before, and there was always sadness between her eyebrows, which made him very confused.
He thought it was her making false claims just to blind him, and then the engagement was successfully terminated until he found out that Qingyan was secretly investigating Baili Qi.
She was actually investigating Baili Qi's bribery, and he couldn't even believe it when Liu Ying reported the matter.
But now...
He had to believe it.
Bailiyou's eyes fell on her hands that were wrapped unconsciously, and the warmth in his eyes was gone, replaced by a dark and unclear mist.
So, Yan'er, what on earth are you doing?
He raised his right hand, gently stroked the broken hair from her cheek, and sighed softly.
Why did he always feel that the woman in front of him really looked like the Mu Qingyan that he regretted so much before.
But such a bizarre thing as rebirth couldn't be such a coincidence. He really hoped that Qingyan could be reborn again, so that she could take revenge with her own hands.
But after all, he just thought too much.
Looking at Mu Qingyan's peaceful sleeping face, Baili You smiled fondly, then gently put her down, wanting her to lie on his lap.
But the moment he put his arm around her shoulders, Mu Qingyan suddenly woke up and opened her eyes.
Their eyes met, and the only sound in the car was the other's breathing.
Looking at His Highness the Crown Prince who was only a few fingers away from her, Mu Qingyan felt a little confused.
He shouted in confusion: "Bailiyou?"
Hearing the soft voice, Bailiyou's heart softened, and he couldn't help but hug her over, "It will be more comfortable to sleep like this."
With that said, he gently laid her down and let her rest on his lap.
A blush rose on Mu Qingyan's face, and she didn't dare to resist at all. She felt that her feet were almost paralyzed.
She, she, she actually slept on Bailiyou's body??
It’s so weird!
Bailiyou took out a small quilt with just the right thickness and covered her gently. Looking at her red ears, he couldn't help but curl his lips.
The voice was also unusually gentle: "Go to sleep."
Mu Qingyan froze and didn't dare to move. She wanted to sleep, but the hairpin on her head was a little obstructive.
Seeing her discomfort, Bailiyou's eyes fell on her head. He seemed to understand something and actually reached out to pull out her hairpin.
This frightened her so much that she sat up and said, "I can't do it!"
She was no different from being disheveled. If someone saw her, she wouldn't be able to wash herself off even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Bailiyou held her down and coaxed her like a child: "I'll put it on you later. No one will dare to break in."
Mu Qingyan's face turned red and she tried to protect her head. That didn't work either!
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but pull her hands away, taking off the hairpins one by one and putting them aside, and said in a calm tone: "Sleep."
"..."
She had seen people forced to pay tribute, but she didn't know there were people forced to sleep.
And the other party is still the prince Bailiyou.
Mu Qingyan felt that in just half an hour, her view of Bailiyou had been completely overturned.
To hell with all the cool and handsome people, he just hides his sword in his smile, and underneath his handsome skin is a sinister heart.
Now that everything has been picked and she has been covered with a quilt, let's sleep for a while.
Anyway, this is not the first time that I have been embarrassed. It seems that I have no face to lose in front of him, Mu Qingyan thought in despair.
There was no sound of conversation, only the sound of horse hooves and the chirping of birds around her. Mu Qingyan gradually fell into a deep sleep. Bailiyou lowered his head to see her sleeping peacefully on his lap, and the heart that had been silent for a long time began to burst out of the ground.
She is very different in this life, with a bit more decisiveness and sense that she didn't have in her previous life.
Could it be that he was reborn in another world?
Looking at this familiar face, Bailiyou quickly shook off this idea. There couldn't be so many identical people in the world.
Even what happened was exactly the same, so he must have been overthinking it.
Bailiyou put his left hand gently on her shoulder. He couldn't see enough of her. He could only smile bitterly. Once he touched the light smoke, he would no longer look like himself.
He murmured: "This time, I live for you." He also lived for himself.
He no longer owed anything to his father and mother. He had already paid it back in his previous life, not to mention that his father had done so many wrong things before.
It's a pity that Mu Qingyan was fast asleep and couldn't hear what the man said.
After a while, Bailiyou picked up the book again, protecting her with one hand and looking at it with the other.
Mu Qingyan was suddenly awakened.
The carriage that had been traveling smoothly was suddenly hit hard, and the horse hoofed in fright. Liuying quickly pulled on the reins, but even so, the body of the carriage was affected.
Under the impact, Mu Qingyan fell out uncontrollably, but Bailiyou hugged her quickly.
The impact was not small, Mu Qingyan opened her eyes suddenly and sat up, her eyes still unclear.
A pair of big hands gently covered her eyes, her waist was hugged, and the man's low words came to her ears: "Don't be afraid."
Mu Qingyan was stunned for a while before her pounding heart calmed down. She took off his hand and looked at him subconsciously, "What's wrong?"
Because I just woke up, my voice is a little hoarse.
Liuying's self-reproaching voice came from outside: "Master, the horse was frightened just now and disturbed the master and Miss Qingyan. Please punish me."
Bailiyou's eyes dimmed and he said coldly: "Next time, I'll go back and be punished myself."
"yes."
Mu Qingyan looked back at him and asked, "Don't you want to ask why?"
"He will take care of it." If he still needs to solve such a small matter, why should Liu Ying do it?
"Oh." She nodded, and then realized that she was still being held by him. Remembering that she had been resting on his lap before, she immediately moved away and sat upright.
"Thank you." His voice was as low as a mosquito's, and a trace of rouge rose on his face.
Although she didn't know the situation, if he hadn't taken action just now, she would have fallen badly.
Bailiqi didn't even take her so seriously...
Now with such a comparison, she felt even more blind that she had to be so blind to be so devoted to that beast Baili Qi. Grandpa had never treated her badly, so how could he be so stupid?
Bailiyou moved his numb legs, raised his eyes and asked her, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Seeing that she was sleeping deeply, I'm afraid she didn't get any rest last night.
Mu Qingyan shook her head. Although she was frightened to wake up, she was no longer sleepy now. Thinking of his subconscious action to protect him before, she felt a little strange.
Then both of them fell silent.
After a while, Bailiyou asked again: "Are you hungry?"
The latter shook his head.
It seemed that there was nothing to say. Mu Qingyan looked down at her shoes, and was stunned for a moment when she caught sight of the neatly arranged jewelry hairpins. When she reached for them, she heard Bailiyou's voice.
"Leave it for now. It won't be too late to put it on again later." He simply didn't care. It was just the two of them. After all, it was very heavy to wear on their heads.
Although his voice was gentle, it could not be rejected. Mu Qingyan silently retracted her hand.
"I have the impression that you don't like these very much." Bailiyou stared at her seriously, and the latter pursed his lips, "I like them now, because they are more showy and suit me better."
She didn't want to have anything to do with that person's preferences.
"It suits you very well." There was some joy in the man's eyes. He had already noticed that she seemed to prefer jade jewelry. There were very few gold jewelry, but they all matched her.
"Um."
Mu Qingyan opened the car curtain. It was already bright and the road had turned into a quiet path. It seemed that she had walked for a while. Calculating this way, it should be almost midnight. She remembered that the road behind was even narrower. Once
Only one carriage can pass.
Therefore, going up the mountain and going down the mountain usually take different paths, so that no one gives way to the other in case of collision.
Looking behind them, there were several carriages following them.
There are brothers, and there are those from the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Mu Qingyan squinted her eyes slightly. She couldn't see clearly because it was too far away, but it should be her cousin's carriage.
But she didn't think it was strange that they were going. Her cousin was fun, and outings were just right for her.
Wait, she seems to have forgotten someone, where is Bailijin?
She turned around and asked, "Why don't you see His Highness?"
They have always been inseparable, but this time they actually saw his figure.
But she suddenly realized that now she and Bailiyou were riding in the same carriage. If Bailijin came, I'm afraid...
Thinking like this, she understood. She felt that she had asked a nonsense question, and it was obvious that the real person would not allow it.
Bailiyou chuckled, and now he remembered that there was one missing person? "He went to protect the third sister."
Sister Rou?
What should my brother do?
Mu Qingyan apologized silently in her heart, as if she had taken away their opportunity to be alone.
I don’t know how my brother is feeling right now.
"You care about him very much?" Bailiyou asked suddenly.
Mu Qingyan was so frightened that she immediately shook her head, "I was just asking casually."
"I know."
After looking at the smile on the corner of the man's lips, she suddenly realized that he was just teasing her, and she was immediately exhausted mentally and physically. Please stop trying to trick her, okay?
Facing Bailiyou, she felt like a little sheep, but he was a wolf in sheep's clothing, the kind who couldn't spit out bones.
Noticing that he hadn't moved, Mu Qingyan thought that he might have been numbed by her pillow. She felt a little guilty and decided to calm down and let him rest.
There was no conversation between the two, and only the sound of turning pages of books from time to time remained, which was quite harmonious.
