On the way back, there were many palace maids and eunuchs. They were all surprised when they saw the fifth prince supporting the seventh prince and his new concubine, and they often looked at her with suspicion.
Bai Qige raised her head without squinting, and walked side by side with Yi Chenxuan very naturally. Even when she arrived at Lianchenxuan, she had no scruples, and walked back to the room with her chest raised and her head raised amidst the chatter of the servants. She didn't do anything shameful.
Why should you bow your head?
Anyway, regardless of her relationship with Yi Chenxuan, Yi Chenjing has never stopped being suspicious of her. It is better to let nature take its course and deal with it calmly, no matter whether the man around her is sincere or fake.
"Yu Che." Bai Qige entered the room without looking back and closed the door. Outside the door, Yi Chenxuan hesitated for a long time and refused to leave. Only when it got dark did he have no choice but to call Yu Che and stuff the girl with the carefully embroidered Xiangyun purse.
In his hand, "It's rare to have to deal with the imperial doctors to get medicine and see a doctor. You can use these scraps of silver to make them care about using the best medicine. Don't be stingy. It's not convenient for me to come here often, Qi——Princess Qi'an
If you need anything, just come to me at Yaoheng Palace, and I will do my best to help you if I can."
The husband was cold, cruel and unkind, but the unrelated man was gentle, considerate and caring. Yu Che curled his lips and didn't know whether to sigh that Bai Qige was lucky or unlucky. He could only take the purse and salute and thank him: "If the Fifth Prince wants to come,
Even if you come here, it’s not popular here on weekdays, and I’ll cut out the tongue of anyone who dares to spread gossip.”
Yi Chenxuan chuckled, but still looked at the closed door. Behind the door that he couldn't see, an extremely weak woman was leaning against the door panel, her guarded expression slowly dissipating.
Conflicts grew like wild grass in Bai Qige's heart. Who to hate and who to believe couldn't find the answer in the fog. Can she still trust Yi Chenxuan? His tenderness is like water, and he has no choice but to do it again. Can she do it again?
Trust Him and carry your heavy burdens to Him?
I was afraid that I couldn't do it anymore, but I was addicted to his warmth and couldn't extricate myself.
After all, paper can't cover up the fire. Although Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing concealed the truth for different purposes, a few days later, Concubine Jing still found out about the injury that Princess Xinli suffered on her bridal night.
Yu Che is a powerful girl who doesn't want to be bullied. That day, Bai Qige almost died because of Su Rao's prevarication and delay. Yu Che found an opportunity to tell the whole story in a cryptic manner in front of Concubine Jing, accusing Su Rao of intentionally causing harm.
It was true that Concubine Jing felt sorry for Bai Qige, but Surao was also a piece of cake in her heart. In desperation, she could only say a few words about Surao in a nonchalant way, and never mentioned it again.
Nowadays, almost everyone in Lianchenxuan and even the Royal Palace of Yaoguo knows that the seventh prince's main wife is extremely unpopular.
Bai Qige didn't take it seriously but felt at ease. The servants who were always making sarcastic comments about her regarded her as a plague. Even the residence "Huixiju" was called "unlucky residence". No one took care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation. Yu Che took care of everything by himself.
During this period, Yi Chenxuan asked his concubine Qi to give him a lot of jewelry and clothes, but Bai Qige returned them all because he didn't like dressing up. Yu Che's heart ached and his body ached when he saw it, and he kept nagging for several days.
"Yu Che, this is the imperial palace, not the White House. In the White House, I am the master and I can do whatever I want, but here you and I are just chess pieces, and every move is controlled by people with ulterior motives. You have also seen it, Yi Chen
Jing doesn't allow me to live in peace, so accepting the fifth prince's things for nothing will only bring disaster and give him an excuse to do evil things again." In the evening, Bai Qige lay on the bed and taught Yu Che how to behave. Her words were wary and vigilant, as if she was far away.
The Imperial Palace is like a golden cage, graceful and wealthy, yet frightening at every step.
After getting along for a long time, Yu Che saw to some extent that Bai Qige was different from what he used to be. The hatred and contempt he once had gradually disappeared, and he increasingly admired and respected his master who was in a desperate situation but still had a strong fighting spirit.
"Two lone leaves in a giant storm, if you and I can't be honest with each other and support each other, how will we get through the years to come?" She sighed and pulled Yuche to sit on the bed. Bai Qige suddenly lowered her voice, "Be careful with your words and deeds. Walls have ears.”
Yu Che cleverly closed the doors and windows and blew out the candle lights. From outside, it looked like the master and servant were getting ready to go to bed, but inside the room, Bai Qige pointed to her side and motioned for Yu Che to sit up.
"It's difficult to achieve anything if we are alone. From tomorrow onwards, you have to move around more and start making friends with the maids and servants in Lianchen Pavilion. If there is any trouble, these people will be the first to know." Sitting on the bed, Bai Qige hugged each other. Yu Che huddled under the quilt, as close as sisters, "On the dressing table are the accessories I brought with me when I got married. When you have time, you took them to the little eunuch who ran errands and sold them. To understand human relationships, money is indispensable. It should be used." Just use it, don't look ahead and look back. Yu Che, it's a bit harder now, but I won't let you and I be bullied for the rest of our lives. There will be a time when you and I become masters. At that time, you want to stay or find someone Any good family can do it.”
Yu Che nodded softly, with peace in his eyes: "The young lady has indeed changed, she is much stronger than before. The second young master will be very happy to see her."
"Do you like second brother?" A hint of cunning flashed across Bai Qige's face.
The second son of the Bai family, Bai Haocheng, is young and promising, with outstanding military exploits. It is normal for a young girl to have a lust for love, but I don't know... I wonder if I will have the chance to meet him again, as well as other family members.
Let's take a look step by step to see if it is fate that cannot be violated, or if Bai Qige's fate is too stubborn to defy nature.
Appearing in front of everyone again, the new concubine of the Seventh Prince made people look at her with admiration - she was dressed in a snow-green gauze dress that was rippling gently. Her figure was much thinner but more energetic than when she first entered the palace. Her face had become smooth after recuperating for many days, even though the scars were still ugly. Her elegance cannot be concealed, her shoulders are straight, and her face is raised slightly, giving people an inviolable sense of majesty. Compared with those noble concubines, her temperament is superior.
After a moment of astonishment, Surao was the first to react, pulling Bai Qige and clinging to her side like a baby: "Sister Qige deserves to be from a family of famous generals. She smells like a heroine when she walks. My mother often said that there are not many girls in the Bai family. Zhonghaojie, after meeting Sister Qi Ge today, I am finally convinced."
"Even if the achievements of generations last for a long time, they will eventually be defeated one day. They are just chess pieces of the monarch. Those who work hard will govern people, and those who work hard will rule others. It is said that one general's achievements will cause thousands of bones to wither. Compared with those who exercise power and use their minds, they will remain motionless and surrender. A man's army can kill people without being seen. What can a hero who only knows how to fight have to boast about?" His calm tone was like joking, and those who should understand the meaning will naturally understand.
Bai Qige slowly walked to Concubine Jing and glanced at Su Rao intentionally or unintentionally. With just this glance, Su Rao felt a deep chill run through her body.
Su Yan heard something in Bai Qige's words and understood that she was worried about Su Rao delaying time that day and not calling the imperial doctor. She hurriedly pulled her sister behind her and laughed with her: "Su Rao is still young and forgets his nature when things happen. Please also ask Sister Qi Ge not to blame."
"What's the fuss about again?" Yi Chenjing frowned slightly and put the tea cup down on the table in disgust, "Don't bring these messy things to the table in the future. I don't want to hear anyone complain. If you want to blame, blame yourself for being useless."
Yi Chenjing was well-known for his filial piety. The three women in front of him were all juniors whom Concubine Jing loved. The person who was hurt the most by such open and covert fighting was also Concubine Jing. He also knew what Surao did, almost killing Bai Qige, was really too much.
, However, the root cause is that he never showed favor to the two sisters after they got married. It is inevitable to feel jealous when seeing Bai Qige enjoying themselves all night long, so he always can't bear to scold her.
How could someone who has lived in the palace for decades not understand the struggle between women? Thinking of the sudden rift between the three children she loves the most, and being involved in the dispute for favor like herself, Concubine Jing shook her head and sighed, waving her hand to the maid to help her.
Go back to your room.
"I can't stop it, I can't control it, I can't see it but I can't see it."
Hearing Concubine Jing's cold tone, Suyan Surao hurriedly held her tightly from left to right, coaxing, persuading and blaming herself, and walked together to Concubine Jing's room.
After making sure that no outsiders were present, Yi Chenjing picked up the teacup again and stared at Bai Qige's face with his narrow eyes: "It seems that the Fifth Emperor Brother is very generous. He keeps delivering all kinds of rare medicinal materials and supplements to the room. No wonder you are so quick.
Healed."
"People will probably think you are jealous." Bai Qige was neither anxious nor annoyed. She didn't even bother to explain. She smiled calmly and said half-jokingly, "Don't worry, I have no interest in getting involved in a favor dispute."
, if you stay away from me, Surao will naturally not cause any trouble again."
There was basically no advantage in talking to Bai Qige. Yi Chenjing understood the huge gap between the two, so she was silent for a moment and planned to leave.
"etc."
Unexpectedly, Bai Qige suddenly spoke.
With her brows furrowed tighter, Yi Chenjing turned around with her hands behind her hands and looked at the woman who had not seen him for many days and brought a new atmosphere: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Bai Qige lowered her head and took out two scrolls from her sleeves, and handed the longer one to Yi Chenjing first: "I have nothing to say. I only have three things I want you to see - this is the first one."
After looking at Bai Qige sharply for a while, her clean and calm eyes showed no dodge. Yi Chenjing reached out to take the scroll and shook it open. After only a few cursory glances, her expression changed from casual to serious.
It was a defense map of Zhao State. Yun Zhongjin deceived it from Bai Qi singer, which caused Zhao State to become an important item affiliated with Yao State. However, this picture was not the original picture. It was obviously redrawn and marked. Compared with
The one he had devoted several months to studying was much cleaner and neater, and at the same time much more intuitive, and the meaning he wanted to express was clear at a glance.
"Who taught you? Bai Haocheng or Bai Jingfu?" Yi Chenjing's eyebrows were raised, and his face was full of suspicion.
Bai Qige didn't answer. She walked closer to Yi Chenjing and took the scroll. She pointed to a mark circled with cinnabar on it and said in a steady voice: "This is the place where Zhao Kingdom deployed its troops. The mountains are high and the water is deep and the walls stand thousands of feet tall. If you want to use this,
To enter Zhao State, one must pass through a long and narrow valley, and Xia
It rains a lot in autumn, and after heavy rains, there is often the danger of huge rocks falling in the valley. The second brother chose this place as a line of defense to take advantage of the perfect time and location. As long as you dare to lead an army to attack, no matter how many people there are, they will all be buried at the bottom of the valley, including their bones, within three days.
Can’t even find it.”
"It's not difficult to see the secret. I don't need you to explain things that we all know." Even though she was surprised, Yi Chenjing still acted indifferent, and even deliberately evoked a sneer, "Show me what's the use of this.
?Want to prove that you are smarter than ordinary people? The daughter of a general, and the defense plan was drawn by your second brother himself. It does not deserve praise for being familiar with it."
It felt uncomfortable to be looked down upon, but Bai Qige had expected the result. She stretched out her finger, and her green-white fingertips landed on a point not far from the circle, and Yi Chenjing's cynicism suddenly stopped as her eyes settled.
