The pure and almost transparent color without any impurities left a deep impression on Bai Qige. Although it was only a glance at the school military field at that time, it was enough to make sure that he was not mistaken.
"I'm sorry, girl, please go first." The man behind the mask had a graceful and pure voice, which was similar to those blue eyes. However, with just this sentence, Bai Qige discovered that he was not the one who saved her at the school military field that day.
After taking a closer look, many discrepancies emerged - this man was obviously taller and sturdier, unlike the mysterious man who was thin and slender. The color of the strands of hair hanging outside the mask was also very different.
, is a very natural and dazzling light golden color, obviously from a foreign race.
"Girl?" The man saw that Bai Qige was a little distracted, so he kindly reminded her again, "Don't you want to see this dagger, girl?"
Bai Qige came back to her senses, and retracted her blank gaze in embarrassment. She also retracted her hand that was reaching for the dagger: "I'm just looking at it. I don't intend to buy it. You don't have to mind, sir."
Now that she was sure that the person in front of her was not a mysterious person, Bai Qige did not intend to have any more contact with her. It was just a dagger that caught her eye, so there was no need to fight with him. She picked up a pile of groceries and was about to turn around when the person suddenly came around.
He stopped her, and the curve of his thin lips was gentle and elegant: "Ordinary women love rouge and embroidery thread, but those who like weapons are the first to see me. If the girl doesn't dislike it, can we go to the teahouse to talk? Even if I give up in return.
present."
"Young Master, you're welcome. I don't know much about weapons. I stretched out my hand because I thought they looked good." Yi Chenjing went shopping and will be back soon. Bai Qige didn't want him to see her entangled with others, especially with a pair of weapons similar to Su Jinyan's.
The man with colorful eyes walked aside without leaving a trace. Bai Qige smiled lightly and refused: "I still have to wait here, young master, do as you please."
"So... then this can be considered as a meeting gift for the girl." The man still refused to give up. After the invitation was rejected, he took off a dagger from his waist and placed it on the pile of things Bai Qige was holding, "Downstream.
I travel all over Zhongzhou doing business, and I would most like to make friends from all walks of life. Seeing that the girl has an extraordinary temperament, she should also be a well-educated and reasonable person. I wonder if I can give you this humble face?"
This man is really interesting, but he just likes the same things as him. As for valuing him so much? Bai Qige doesn't like men who talk a lot of nonsense and are clingy, but this man in front of him is an exception. He has a very attractive temperament, Qianqian
Polite and gentle as water.
Bai Qige glanced at the dagger given by the man. It was less than a foot long and was small and exquisite. The scabbard should be made of pure copper, with a dragon and a lotus carefully carved on it and lifelike. The hilt was also carefully carved, and there were also
It was inlaid with a bright red jade that looked like blood. Such an exquisite dagger must be worth a lot of money. Compared with the dagger he was interested in, it was completely different. Bai Qige didn't understand how a businessman could do such a loss-making business.
.
"No reward will be given for no merit, let alone such a valuable thing? I accept the young master's wishes, but please take this dagger back." Bai Qige shook her head, turned slightly sideways, and looked towards the direction Yi Chenjing left.
"The girl's demeanor is worth a fortune. Today, I am lucky enough to meet you. A mere gift would be disrespectful. I hope we can meet again someday and have a good time over wine."
A vague and clear chuckle came into my ears, and the clean voice was filled with indescribable gentleness and elegance. Hearing the sound, he turned around in surprise. The man behind the mask who claimed to be a merchant had gone somewhere, but the dagger was still placed in a pile.
On top of groceries.
Bai Qige took a deep breath and looked around, but there was no trace of that person - how difficult is it to find a stranger in the bustling crowd? It was difficult to see clearly even five steps away.
In a daze, Yi Chenjing had already rushed through the crowd and rushed back. With the same expressionless face, she raised her hand and tied a fur cloak around Bai Qige.
"Is it warmer?"
"What kind of cloak is this? When you put it on, it looks like an animal. Will it not be shot through by a hunter's arrow?" Bai Qige looked down at the furry cloak and sighed.
Yi Chenjing glanced sideways: "People who work outside in winter have to wear this kind of cloak. It looks ugly, but it keeps much warmer than the ones woven in the palace. Where did you get the dagger?" Looking at the groceries, Yi Chen glanced at the groceries.
Jing keenly noticed that there was something extra on it, and looked at Bai Qige in confusion: "You don't have any money with you, could it be that you robbed it?"
"I can't move even if I hold so many things. If you want to grab them, others will grab them from me. Can't you think of something good about me?" Bai Qige laughed angrily and stuffed all the things into Yi Chenjing's arms, "It's a gift from a businessman."
Yes, the reason is that I have never seen a woman who likes daggers and I feel fresh and curious about it. Don’t ask me anything else, I can’t figure it out, so it’s useless for you to ask.”
"That must be a very ugly man."
"Huh?" Bai Qige was confused and looked at Yi Chenjing's handsome face. What does giving her something for no reason have to do with her appearance? With doubts, Bai Qige walked side by side for a few more steps. Bai Qige suddenly woke up and punched Yi Chenjing in a circle.
Chen Jing's broad and strong back: "Does a man who is attentive to me have to be ugly?!"
Yi Chenjing shrugged without answering and laughed it off, but in his heart he had to care about the person's identity.
Although he has never paid attention to the quality of weapons, and has never been involved in the famous swords and swords in the history of Zhongzhou, he can tell just by looking at the jade inlaid on this dagger that this object is by no means ordinary.
Blood jade is a jade that has been soaked in the mouth of the dead for many years and then turned into blood. It sounds sinister but it is a good product to ward off evil spirits. It is also a rare item that the rich and powerful people compete for. Legend has it that the longer it soaks in the corpse, the longer it stays.
The more gorgeous it is, the higher the price, and the one in front of me is transparent in color and redder than blood, so it is obviously the best of them all.
If it were really an ordinary businessman, would he give away such a rare treasure generously? Or is someone trying to trick Bai Qige?
Calmly clasping her delicate palms, Yi Chenjing leaned closer to Bai Qige.
Compared with the rare blood jade dagger, Bai Qige's value is countless times higher. As the third young lady of the Bai family, she is responsible for the strength of the three armies of the Zhao Kingdom. Her own intelligence cannot be underestimated. If used properly, she will definitely become no less powerful.
He was a good general and a rare talent who refused to exchange even if he gave him ten cities. How could she be coveted by others?
Bai Qige can only belong to him.
With the fur cloak, she was much warmer. Bai Qige followed Yi Chenjing through the whole street. Her arms were full of sundries, making her look like a coquettish and innocent girl asking for things. No one knew that these things were bought by the men next to her on their own initiative.
of.
First he glanced at Bai Qige, found an excuse that was neither salty nor bland, then took out the money with an expressionless face, and then took something and put it in her arms. The whole process was like this. Bai Qige was a little dumbfounded. After all, he liked these little things.
It was unclear whether she bought the thing because she thought she would like it. Anyway, when she returned to the palace, one of her arms was already sore from the heavy load - and the other hand held by Yi Chenjing was not in good shape either.
No, that guy was neither light nor heavy, and his hand was about to be broken.
It was getting late when we returned to Lianchenxuan. Surprisingly, the lights in Lianchenxuan were still bright, and the first thing that caught our eyes was a plump figure pacing back and forth anxiously in front of the Nuan Dian.
"Su Yan? Why are you still not sleeping so late? What's wrong, mother?" Yi Chenjing frowned, and couldn't help but worry about Concubine Jing who always went to bed very early.
Su Yan sighed and shook his head, with an anxious look on his face, he finally got the answer: "Jing Fei is fine, I just have to wait for you to come back and refuse to go to bed until now." Looking back at the closed door of the Nuan Palace, Su Yan said
He stood up on tiptoes and came closer and said softly: "In the afternoon, the emperor sent someone to deliver a pair of South China Sea angelfish. Concubine Jing said that the fish is only delicious when it is fresh and the soup is delicious, so she has been waiting for Your Highness."
Yi Chenjing's expression was a little unnatural.
South China Sea angelfish has always been extremely difficult to catch when two fish swim together, and it is even more difficult to preserve. It often takes several years to take advantage of the cold winter to bring a pair into the palace. When my mother recalled the past, she often said that she loved it most when she was favored in the past.
It's this Luo Xianyu, but it's a pity that I won't have the chance to taste it again. What is the father's behavior like this? After telling them that the emperor's grace is great and the old love is not over, are they still thinking about the old concubine in their hearts? I'm afraid it is.
Fight to the death to make him grateful?!
The brief silence made Bai Qige realize that something was wrong. She bumped into Yi Chenjing lightly and then smiled at Suyan: "It's freezing cold, why is sister Suyan waiting outside? Since His Highness is back, hurry up and see Concubine Jing.
, after drinking the soup, the most important thing is for Concubine Jing to rest early."
"Yes, you should go see your mother first." Yi Chenjing suppressed her low mood and smiled forcefully, her face still looked much worse than before.
It would take a long time to go back to the room to change clothes, so the two simply walked into the warm palace carrying a bunch of things. Concubine Jing was dozing off leaning on the table. Surao, who was waiting on them, saw the two coming in and lowered her head to whisper in Concubine Jing's ear.
After a few words, Concubine Jing opened her sleepy eyes.
"Even though we're back, you two kids didn't even say a word to me when you went out. Look, the soup has gone cold."
"Qi Ge has never been out since she came to the country. Today happened to be the first day of the Lunar New Year, so I took her around for a walk. I was busy and forgot to tell my mother." Yi Chenjing sat next to Concubine Jing, her arms full of things.
All kinds of things were piled on the table. He rummaged through them and picked out two exquisite silver hairpins and handed them to Su Rao. "I saw that they looked good, so I bought one for you and Su Yan. There are some pastries and preserved fruits over there. Wait a minute."
Remember to take it back."
Bai Qige didn't like too much makeup, so the only hairpins in her hair were the one given by the imperial concubine and the one she sharpened as a self-defense weapon. Yi Chenjing originally wanted to buy one for her to wear, but looking at the pair she said, "Even if you buy it,
I didn't know how to wear it" and gave up decisively. I just bought two pairs and gave them to Sister Suyan Surao.
Surao smiled sweetly and put the hairpin in her hair happily, her expression extremely happy: "Your Highness is so stingy. This is the first time you have given me and my sister something."
The words were a joke, but they evoked a bit of bitterness in Suyan's ears. Just as Surao said, the two sisters have known Yi Chenjing for so many years and have been married to Lianchenxuan as their concubine for more than a year. Today,
If it weren't for Bai Qige's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get any gifts from him in this life.
Suyan's loneliness was reflected in Bai Qige's eyes, and at the moment when she put the things on the table, she stepped hard on Yi Chenjing's feet.
