The first confrontation was quite effective. In the following days, Yi Chenjing was busy with business and rarely came to Bai Qige's side. However, Suyan and Concubine Jing often moved around. The hard days of the first few days were finally over.
"According to Dayao's practice, the married princess must be crowned a royal wife. Even if His Highness doesn't want to, the Emperor will ask for it." The ingenious Su Yan chatted with Bai Qige while embroidering female red, but the topic changed for some reason.
As for Bai Qige's current status, "His Highness is busy with state affairs, unlike others. Su Rao and I have been in Lianchenxuan for less than a year and a half. We have not really served His Highness so far. I only hope that you can take care of him after you are officially married."
After all, they are old acquaintances, unlike us who were estranged from the beginning."
"Old acquaintance?" Bai Qige's curiosity became more intense when she mentioned the past again.
What past experience did she and Yi Chenjing have in common? How could people with different identities from two countries who were enemies of each other have such disparities in their lives? However, there was no answer to this question, and Yi Chenjing would not pay attention to her.
People who know the facts but dare not ask rashly, and stay under the protection of others, must be careful and vigilant.
Seeing Bai Qige's face full of doubts, Su Yan covered her mouth and chuckled: "Look at me, I forgot about your illness again. I know you can't remember many things in the past but still bring them up from time to time. You really deserve a beating."
"No wonder sister, this disease is not common. Sometimes even my father and mother will forget it, let alone others? It's just a pity that the memory of the past is gone. Now that I think about it, my mind is blank and deserted."
Bai Qige concealed the fact that she was reborn through time travel. No one would believe this kind of thing. It would be better to make up something about amnesia due to illness. Fortunately, Su Yan and others did not doubt that he was there, and they always cared about Bai Qige.
He even pampered her as if he were a newly married daughter-in-law, and sent his trusted followers to teach her everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation to the etiquette in the palace.
"Sister, my mother is awake and is calling Sister Qi Ge to come in." A pretty pink figure flashed out from the inner hall, her eyes sparkling with autumn water, playful and lovely.
This girl is Suyan's younger sister Surao, who is one year younger than Bai Qige. In terms of beauty, she is no less beautiful than the three thousand beauties in the harem, but she is still a little green for her age. Concubine Jing likes Suyan as her daughter-in-law.
She likes Surao but treats her as a daughter, doting on and caring for her in every possible way. This can be seen from the fact that others call Concubine Jing "empress" but Surao calls her "mother". In addition to Yi Chenjing, the entire Lianchenxuan
Only Surao can be called that.
The concubine Jing likes to listen to the chanting of scriptures. Suyan and Surao have never attended a private school since their father died and cannot recognize many words. Mei Xiangu, who usually lectures on scriptures, cannot come every day. The task of reading scriptures for the concubine Jing falls to Bai Qige.
, after a few days, Concubine Jing became as close to Bai Qige as she did to Su Rao.
The concubine Jing was frightened by a nightmare the night before, and she had to listen to chanting from morning to night in the past two days before she could fall asleep. Bai Qige temporarily stayed in the room outside the concubine's bedroom so that she could be summoned at any time.
"I'm sorry you've been so busy these days. I've lost a lot of weight." Concubine Jing pulled Bai Qige to sit on the edge of the bed, with tenderness in her kind eyes. "Jing'er, this kid must be strong. He's busy in court all day long and can't see you."
"Huanying, when I have free time, I will personally go to the Queen and ask for your favor, and see if I can get your Majesty to issue an edict to give you a formal title as soon as possible, so as to avoid outsiders making irresponsible remarks."
Bai Qige nodded and laughed it off, not mentioning the irresolvable grudge with Yi Chenjing at all.
Having heard and witnessed, Bai Qige understood at least seventy percent of the internal affairs of the vast palace of Yao Kingdom. Concubine Jing was favored by Emperor Yao when she was young. Later, she was implicated in her brother's manipulation of power and was thrown into the cold palace, along with her only son Yi Chenjing.
She was neglected. More than four years ago, Yi Chenjing took the initiative to volunteer and made great contributions in resisting the invasion of the enemy. This made Emperor Yao think of his old love again and gave the Lianchen Pavilion to the mother and son to live in. However, the glory of the past was no longer there.
Some people just point and whisper.
Perhaps because of this unbearable past, Concubine Jing was always cautious and almost neurotic in doing things. As a first-class concubine, she was always flattering to those favored second- and third-class concubines, and even the servants were a little less respectful.
A dog relies on the power of a human, and it depends on how others serve the dishes. No matter which time, space, or dynasty there is always a villain.
After chatting for a few words, Concubine Jing suddenly said she was thirsty and wanted to drink ginseng tea and sent Su Rao away. She fumbled and took out a jade bracelet from under the pillow and stuffed it into Bai Qi's singer. There was a faint redness in her eyes: "Now we
The two of us were finally able to say a few thoughtful words. If I had known that you were Princess Qi'an that day, I would never have let Jing'er treat you like that. The girl turned eighteen, and she didn't even recognize it for a moment. If I had known that you were Princess Qi'an that day.
If it weren’t for you and Hong Xiao, Jing’er and I still don’t know if we could have survived until now…”
With a thump, Bai Qige's heart sank.
Hongxiao is the source of hatred between her and Yi Chenjing. Is Concubine Jing also an insider?
"My dearest concubine, I was frightened before I came to the distant country and I can't remember much. Can you tell me about the past? These are very important to me!"
"I know, I know, Su Yan has told me. It is said that you and Hong Xiao are both kind-hearted children, but they have a bad life." Wiping her eyes twice, Concubine Jing held Bai Qige's hand tightly and put it on her lap.
"Back then, I was thrown into the cold palace, and Jing'er was fostered by the Queen. It happened that the Zhao Kingdom invaded my distant border, and His Majesty was too busy quelling the rebellion of his relatives to go to war, so he gave up Jing'er as a hostage and took ten cities with him to seek peace. Jing'er
He has been a slave in Zhao Kingdom for ten years and suffered all kinds of humiliation. If you and Princess Hongxiao hadn’t protected him, how could he have persisted until now? I remember that year I was finally allowed to go to Zhao Kingdom to see Jing’er. Who would have thought that a bad guy would come?
During the assassination, you threw yourself on Jing'er and blocked his knife - look, the scar is still there."
Concubine Jing lifted up Bai Qige's clothes, and a scar measuring more than two inches on her thin shoulder was shocking. Bai Qige had noticed this scar for a long time, and today she finally knew its origin. What's funny is that the proton of Yaoguo who Bai Qige himself desperately protected back then is now
But she became the person who hated her the most. If she knew about it, would she be heartbroken?
Bai Qige died, was she in love with Yi Chenjing?
"Where is Hong Hao? Concubine Jing, did Princess Hong Hao really drown to death?" Bai Qige's thin lips trembled as she gently asked the source of all the problems. However, Concubine Jing's reaction made Bai Qige disappointed.
"Didn't you say that she drowned while picking up a kite?" Concubine Jing was confused, and then shook her head, "That's all, what's the use of thinking about it when people are gone? It's a pity that Jing'er's infatuation came to nothing, and she worked hard to gain military exploits.
Begging for marriage, who would have thought that the beautiful girl from Hongxiao was so lucky that she died when he sent someone to deliver the message to Zhao Kingdom. From then on, Jing'er seemed to be a completely different person. At first, she was alone without eating or drinking.
I was sitting in my room in a daze, and after I came back from a trip to Zhao Kingdom, I started to be enthusiastic about government affairs, and I wanted to lead an army to conquer Zhao Kingdom. It was a great joy for you to get married this time, but I didn’t expect that this child would treat you like that. It’s really a sin.
, what a sin..."
No, it's not a crime.
Bai Qige closed her eyes, and the complex information was integrated in her mind, and the terrifying guess gradually became clear.
Yi Chenjing once lived in Zhao State for ten years as a hostage, which explains his interactions with Bai Qige and Hong Xiao. The three of them obviously fell in love with each other during their long time together as childhood sweethearts.
Bai Qige loves Yi Chenjing and is willing to risk her life to protect him. However, Yi Chenjing and Hong Xiao are in love, and Bai Qige herself knows this. So, what caused the rift between the two and made Yi Chenjing
I wish Bai Qige would be tortured so cruelly that life would be worse than death?
It is a fact that Hong Hao drowned, but the reason for drowning is that he picked up a kite, but there are doubts. Imagine that Zhao State is known as a water town, and its capital Liangshi is close to a huge lake. There are almost no people Bai Qige knows who can't swim, and that's Qi Ba
The same goes for the 20-year-old girl. How could Princess Hongxiao drown in the river? Moreover, all of this comes from Bai Qige's own narration, and there are no other witnesses. It is not difficult to fabricate the facts.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt, but Bai Qige also had a vague feeling that the truth might not be so dirty.
Hong Xiao died two years after Yi Chenjing left Zhao State. If Bai Qige was really jealous and had evil intentions, there was no need to kill him after so long and leave a huge mystery behind. Moreover, Bai Qige and Hong Xiao were together
When you grow up, you should love your sisters. What Yi Chenjing said to her before also confirms this. No matter how cruel Bai Qige is, she shouldn't miss the old relationship?
The puzzle seemed to be solved but there were countless unreasonable things. Bai Qige rubbed her aching forehead and Concubine Jing called her several times before she responded.
"My dear concubine, I'm a little tired and want to go back to my room to rest first. I'll come back and recite sutras to you tomorrow when I feel better, okay?"
Concubine Jing sighed and shook her head slightly: "It's my talkativeness that reminds you of those bad things. Don't call me Concubine Jing anymore. It's so unfamiliar. Just call me 'Concubine An' like before. I always think that I can
If you get closer, I'll call you by your nickname, Xiao Yingge."
Little Yingge, little Yingge.
Bai Qige turned her head and looked aside, feeling sour in her heart.
When she was at home, her mother and brother called her Xiao Yingge. How are they in the distant country of Zhao? The sun is the same for thousands of miles, and we say goodbye to each other in two different places.
In a daze, I bid farewell to the concubine and walked back to her residence. The empty room was cold and lonely.
No wonder Concubine Jing took her so well. It turned out that they had known each other for a long time. It turned out that she had met each other before. It turned out that she was willing to sacrifice her life to protect Yi Chenjing. It turned out that there were so many grudges, entanglements, love and hate in the past that she didn't know about. It turned out that she was facing
What is right is not just a simple marriage, but a complicated and mysterious future that cannot be seen.
The tall figure at the door blocked the daylight, and Bai Qige looked at the shadows on the ground in trance, not as guarded and resistant as before.
Does she really want to be the enemy of this man whom she once loved so much?
She hesitated, but Yi Chenjing acted decisively and without mercy.
The jade bracelet tightly held in his hand was violently snatched away, and his strong hand grasped the slender wrist tightly. A trace of dark red blood snaked down the seams of Yi Chenjing's fingers. The jade bracelet was not an ordinary jewelry. Throughout the world, only
One person is qualified to wear it, but unfortunately, that person is no longer here.
"Bai Qige, stop wasting your efforts to deceive mother. You have been weak and scheming since you were a child, and you still refuse to repent? This jade bracelet was prepared by mother for my wife. You will never have the right to touch it."
With a slap, Bai Qige's weak body hit the dressing table, and the blood from her wrist stained the tabletop red.
Looking up and staring quietly, Bai Qige looked at the angry Yi Chenjing with complicated eyes.
"Yi Chenjing, are you so sure that it was me who killed Hongxiao?"
