Qingwen came over, holding a kettle in her hand, and added another cup of tea for Bai Qiqian.
Bai Qiqian drank the tea in one breath. Still wanting to finish it, she poured another cup herself. Ye Ruochen approached her with a smile and handed the tea cup in his hand to her: "Fuyao, pour me a cup of tea too."
Bai Qiqian glared at him fiercely: "Don't you have hands yourself?"
Ye Ruochen said with a smile: "Isn't it that the tea you pour is more fragrant? Haven't you heard that when you pour tea for others, your hands will have a lingering fragrance? So, pour me a cup of tea and wait for your own
The fragrance remains in your hands.”
Bai Qiqian gave him a roll of eyes: "Ye Ruochen, you are really an out-and-out scoundrel."
Although he is such a scoundrel, Bai Qiqian can't get enough of him. When did the extremely handsome prince, who everyone fawned over, show such a flattering look to others?
Bai Qiqian poured tea for him and said, "You damn bastard, you just want to torment me. Humph, you don't need me to pour you tea. There are countless beauties who are willing to pour you tea."
Ye Ruochen glanced at Hongluan and whispered, "She's not worthy yet."
Bai Qiqian was startled, feeling sad in her heart.
Ye Ruochen continued: "I can only live in my heart for one person, and no one else can enter my heart."
Bai Qiqian handed the teacup in her hand to Qingwen and got on the carriage without saying anything.
The carriage drove slowly on the road, seemingly in no hurry to return to the Jinhui Dynasty. Ye Ruochen would sometimes stop at the inn, summon the local magistrate, and inquire about the local people's conditions. Sometimes, he would also inspect the officials.
performance.
This situation is a bit like traveling. Bai Qiqian couldn't help but think of the past, when she traveled almost half of the world.
However, she was not going sightseeing at that time, but killing people and selling goods.
Now, sitting in the carriage and enjoying the scenery along the way is a bit more comfortable.
After all, the scenery here is pristine, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. However, occasionally when the mountain road is bumpy, she will feel a bump even though she is sitting in the carriage.
If it was purely a trip, she would probably be very happy.
But Bai Qiqian always has some things on his mind, such as how is Ye Liyuan now?
If he knew that he was not dead, I wonder what his reaction would be?
There is also the matter of the Moon Palace. Can Wu Lian find Xiliang? Will Ziyuan return from her successful studies? Is the child of Yujin and Guisu about to be born?
That night, it suddenly started to rain heavily, and the advancing team had to rest at an abandoned post station.
Bai Qiqian moved into a clean room, brought a novel from the carriage, and sat on the stone bench next to the window to read at will.
Qingwen asked in a low voice from the side: "Princess Princess, do you want to go for a walk in front?"
Bai Qiqian placed the novel on the desk: "Isn't this inn abandoned? What else is there to read?"
Qingwen smiled: "Although this inn is deserted, the scenery in Dongyuan is pretty good. If the princess feels a little bored, it is also good to go there for a walk."
Bai Qiqian pondered for a moment. Anyway, he was reading novels here to kill time, so he might as well go for a walk.
He asked Qingwen to prepare a storm lantern for her, then left her behind and went out.
Walking towards her, she saw a beautiful woman named Pingping Tingting. When she looked carefully, she saw that the person had already walked in front of her with a smile on her face: "Jiuwei, why are you going out so late? You are so elegant."
Behind Hong Luan followed a maid in green clothes, with her head lowered and holding a food box in her hand.
Bai Qiqian smiled coldly and said: "Of course I can't compare to your elegance. It's so late, but I'm very interested in delivering food."
Hong Luan's face turned red: "I am not as good as some people. I only care about myself and never care about other people."
Bai Qiqian suddenly smiled and deliberately misinterpreted Hongluan's meaning: "Oh, Hongluan, are you talking about Ye Ruochen? Alas, actually I don't know why he always puts his thoughts on me and never
I will pay more attention to other people."
When talking about "other people", Bai Qiqian deliberately emphasized her accent.
There was a hint of anger in Hongluan's eyes: "Jiuya... you..."
Bai Qiqian's smile became softer: "What? Are you unhappy because I said it? Haha, Hongluan, you'd better send the food box over quickly. I'm afraid this thing will be cold, and then he will be there again
I will live up to your wishes."
At this time, Ye Ruochen's cold and pleasant voice came: "What are you talking about?"
Hong Luan leaned sideways: "The weather is a bit cool today. I was afraid that everyone would catch the cold, so I specially cooked some ginger soup to dispel the cold. I just planned to deliver it to Princess Fuyao's room, but I didn't expect to meet her at the door. Haha
, although it is not a good thing, I still ask the princess to have a taste."
Bai Qiqian didn't criticize her. Instead, she smiled slightly, nodded to Hong Luan and said, "You are a thoughtful person. I would like to thank you first. Since you have something to do, you should do your business first."
Hong Luan smiled reservedly, turned around and approached Ye Ruochen.
Not far away, a majestic voice came: "Miss Hongluan, the soldiers' ginger soup has also been sent over. Don't worry."
Hong Luan said with a smile: "I'm here to help you, big brother. With the few taels of silver, I'll buy some drinks for you."
She was really an exquisite and clear person, and Bai Qiqian couldn't help but admire her a little more.
Thinking back to the past in the palace, if Hong Luan wanted to be his enemy, I don't know who is better than her. I am afraid that the scheming of such a woman is not inferior to that of Bai Qiqian.
Bai Qiqian glanced at Ye Ruochen gently, gave up the idea of going for a walk, turned around, and walked towards her house.
Qingwen, who was guarding the door, came out with a smile: "Princess Princess, are you back so soon?"
Bai Qiqian didn't answer her, but asked: "Qingwen, what kind of treasure did you pick up to make you smile so happily?"
Qingwen pointed to the two bowls of soup placed on the table: "Princess, Miss Hongluan sent someone to bring ginger soup to ward off the cold. Princess, you'd better try it quickly."
Bai Qiqian looked at the two bowls of ginger soup placed on the counter. One bowl was filled with a jade bowl, and the other bowl was filled with an ordinary porcelain bowl. Bai Qiqian said: "Qingwen, one of the bowls is yours.
, why don’t you eat?”
Qingwen said: "Princess, you haven't even tasted it, how can I do it first?"
Bai Qiqian glanced casually: "It's not like you don't know that you don't need to follow so many rules in front of me."
Qingwen nodded, picked up the jade bowl, and handed it to Bai Qiqian: "Princess, I understand."
Although this girl said she knew, she still would not be as carefree in front of her as Yujin and Ziyuan.
Bai Qiqian tasted it, and found that the ginger soup actually had some sweetness. When he drank it in his mouth, there was no pungency of ginger, but a sweet fragrance. It seemed that in this bowl of ginger soup, red luan flowers were also blooming.
Got some thoughts.
Qingwen drank the ginger soup in one breath, and said with some lingering thoughts: "Princess, I didn't expect that a bowl of ginger soup tastes so good."
Bai Qiqian nodded: "Well, Hong Luan is really suitable to be the mistress of the palace. She is thoughtful and elegant. She does a good job whether she is wooing her subordinates or wooing her slaves."
Qingwen quickly knelt in front of Bai Qiqian: "Princess, the prince has only Princess in his heart from beginning to end."
Bai Qiqian smiled: "Qingwen, what are you doing? Get up quickly, I have no intention of blaming you."
Hong Luan shook his head: "Princess, although Miss Hong Luan is deeply in love with the prince, the prince has never looked at her. In the prince's heart, the princess will always be his favorite person."
The person you love the most?
Bai Qiqian thought of the many concubines in Prince Ye Ruochen's palace. Most of their appearances were somewhat similar to hers.
She sighed secretly, what she was afraid of was that she was the only one in Ye Ruochen's heart!
Bai Qiqian helped Qingwen up: "Qingwen, you also know that Ye Liyuan has always been the only one in my heart."
Qingwen gritted her teeth and lowered her head. She probably felt worthless for Ye Ruochen.
Bai Qiqian said nothing more, walked to the window, and continued to read the novel script on the desk.
The book is full of stories about talented people and beautiful women. Although they are cliché, they are still touching.
Situation comes from the heart, now Bai Qiqian understands this truth.
Qingwen stood behind her, staring at the lonely and proud back, and suddenly said: "Princess, if the emperor changes, will you still like him?"
he's changed?
Bai Qiqian was stunned for a moment, her eyes suddenly looking far away.
Will the man who vowed to protect himself change? Will the man who keeps saying that he wants to give himself happiness for the rest of his life also break his promise one day?
Bai Qiqian grinned, with a hint of coldness in her voice: "No, Qingwen, he won't change."
Qingwen stared blankly at Bai Qiqian's straight spine and stubborn and strong back, swaying in the candlelight.
Bai Qiqian said coldly: "Even if he changes, I will still fight with him to the end."
Qingwen said without fear of death: "Princess, if the emperor has failed you, will you continue to struggle with him? Why are you unwilling to give the prince a chance? The prince loves you so much..."
Bai Qiqian did not answer her, but asked: "Qingwen, do you know what fate is?"
Qingwen murmured and repeated: "Fate?"
Bai Qiqian stared at the word "life" in the novel and whispered: "He is my life, and I can't escape him in this life."
We share adversity, live and die together.
From the day she married him, she never looked back.
Qingwen felt wronged and unworthy for Ye Ruochen: "Princess, what about the prince? You know that you are the prince's life, how can he escape?"
Bai Qiqian's eyes suddenly became sharp: "No, I am not his life."
Qingwen was a little anxious: "Princess, it's not like you can't see what the prince thinks about you, you..."
Bai Qiqian turned around: "Even if I see it, so what? Qingwen, I'm telling you very clearly that I won't allow it. I can't make it his destiny, and he can't make it my destiny."
