In the past few days, Qingwen has been feeling depressed.
Bai Qiqian occasionally mentioned Hongluan in her ears and said, "Actually, Hongluan is not bad, and he matches Ye Ruochen very well."
Qingwen always sighed: "Princess, if others say this, I think it would be good for Hong Luan to be with my prince. But when you say this, I always feel a little weird."
Bai Qiqian's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. Could this girl stop speaking so bluntly?
On this day, after stopping to rest, Bai Qiqian opened the curtain of the carriage and looked up outside.
Qingwen also leaned over and glanced at Hongluan standing gracefully aside, and then at Ye Ruochen who was not far away, and suddenly said: "Princess, Miss Hongluan is noble and beautiful, and she is really close to the prince.
Match each other."
Bai Qi smiled lightly, picked up a plate of preserves from the counter, and said while eating, "Qingwen, you are actually very beautiful too."
Qingwen's face instantly turned red: "Princess, you are teasing me again."
Bai Qiqian looked at Qingwen seriously: "No, I'm serious, Qingwen, you are actually very beautiful. If you put on another dress, you will be no different from other ladies."
Qingwen was a little flattered when she heard this.
Bai Qiqian continued: "Qingwen, I used to be a princess, but my life was extremely bad. Even the maids of wealthy families were better fed and clothed than me. However, once I put on a set of clothes,
You are not a distinguished princess now."
Qingwen shook her head: "Princess, no matter how miserable you were back then, you are still a noble princess."
She seemed to think of something unhappy again, her eyes dimmed a little: "I am just a servant, of low origin."
Bai Qiqian flipped through the novel script casually: "No one is born noble or humble, it all depends on the position a person is in. If you are a princess, you will naturally become noble."
Wasn't her life so humble back then?
Bai Qiqian remembered that when she traveled through time, she had sworn to heaven that she would live to be admired by all people in this life.
Qingwen thought for a while: "Princess, although I think you are right, my destiny is determined. Therefore, I never think too much and only know that I must serve my masters well."
Bai Qiqian sighed, she is really a good maid with upright roots and a bright future.
At this time, the carriage stopped and Ye Ruochen came over: "Fuyao, in front of you is Taibai Tower. The Drunken Crispy Duck inside is the most famous. I will take you to try it."
Drunken Crispy Duck, just by hearing the name, you know it is particularly delicious.
Bai Qiqian's eyes shone: "Yeah, okay."
Ye Ruochen stood outside the carriage and helped her get out of the carriage.
The two of them walked up to the private room of Taibai Building and sat down together. Ye Ruochen ordered a table of dishes.
Bai Qiqian stood up, walked to the window lattice, looked at the surrounding scenery, glanced at it, and suddenly saw a crescent-shaped mark in the corner of the window lattice.
Could it be that people from the Moon Palace are here too?
Bai Qiqian's heart moved, she turned around and walked over, saying to Ye Ruochen: "Ruochen, there are some flaws here."
Ye Ruochen had a charming smile on his face, and the cinnabar between his brows gave him a different kind of elegance. He seemed to be in a very happy mood today: "Oh? Is there something missing? Fuyao, tell me."
Bai Qiqian grinned: "There is no beauty to play and sing."
Ye Ruochen laughed: "Isn't this easy to handle?" After saying that, he called the maid who was guarding outside the private room and gave instructions.
After a while, a woman in goose-yellow clothes walked in, holding a pipa in her hand.
Bai Qiqian was tasting Taibailou's dishes while listening to the woman singing a ditty.
When the song was finished, the woman stood aside and waited.
Bai Qiqian sighed: "It's a pity that such a stunning beauty fell into the dust. Ruochen, why don't you take her into your home?"
Ye Ruochen glanced at Bai Qiqian meaningfully: "Fuyao, you really know how to joke."
Bai Qiqian ignored his words and kept the smile on her face: "Ruochen, this woman compares to all the concubines in your house."
A blush appeared on the woman's face and she lowered her head.
Qingwen, who was standing behind Bai Qiqian, burst out laughing.
The woman's complexion was like jade, her eyes were full of spring, her glossy lips were so bright, and her delicate appearance made people want to hide her.
Bai Qiqian herself was the most beautiful woman in the Jinhui Dynasty, and she was used to her appearance.
Seeing such a charming woman in vain, I felt a sense of surprise in my heart.
Ye Ruochen also glanced at the woman a few times, his eyes filled with admiration.
At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Hong Luan walked in and said lightly: "You are really in a good mood. There is good food and drink here, and there are beauties to admire."
Ye Ruochen raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling quite displeased, but he did not blame him.
Hong Luan sat down directly, picked up the teapot, and was about to add a bowl of tea to herself. She couldn't help but glance at the beauty, and she was shocked. The teapot in her hand actually rolled straight towards Bai Qiqian.
.
Before Qingwen's scream could be heard, a figure flashed and the teapot was already safely in the hand of the beauty.
The beauty smiled slightly and placed the teapot on the table: "Miss, please be careful. If you get burned, it will be difficult."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Hong Luan's lips: "I didn't expect that a girl who plays and sings has such agility. I actually underestimated her."
Bai Qiqian smiled calmly.
The beauty lowered her head slightly, and the shyness on her face became more and more intense: "Actually, the little girl is not very agile. It's just that she has been dancing since she was a child, and her reactions are faster than ordinary people."
Bai Qiqian glanced at her with satisfaction and asked softly: "May I ask this girl her name?"
The woman's voice was like an oriole coming out of the valley: "The little girl's name is Ziyu."
Purple Jade, Purple Jade, Ziyuan and Jade Brocade, each of them chose one, and Bai Qiqian suddenly had a suspicion in her heart.
Ye Ruochen said: "Purple air comes from the east, and the smoke is as bright as jade, luxurious and beautiful." After saying that, he looked at Ziyu with a touch of appreciation and admiration in his eyes.
Ziyu raised her head slightly, her eyes complex and changeable, but still full of charm.
Hong Luan's eyes were a bit displeased, but she didn't say anything, she just tapped the teacup gently.
Bai Qiqian saw this scene in her eyes: "Ziyu, your singing voice is melodious, but it is filled with sadness. I wonder what happened?"
Ziyu's eyes immediately turned red when she heard her question, and tears fell down, endearingly: "I...sigh...it's a very sad thing to say. My father is greedy for wealth and wants to marry me off."
I...I don't want to be a concubine to the county magistrate's son..."
Another extremely bloody incident.
Bai Qiqian couldn't help but rub her eyebrows: "Then what?"
Tears filled up and fell: "Later, they sold Ziyu to a brothel, and they forced Ziyu... Ziyu refused to obey until she died... Later, she became this singer..."
Bai Qiqian glanced at Ye Ruochen: "Your Majesty..."
Ziyu's eyes suddenly brightened: "My lord, please save Ziyu from this sea of suffering."
Hong Luan said coldly: "How can people of unknown origin easily follow us on the road?"
Bai Qiqian looked at Ye Ruochen and smiled without saying a word.
Ye Ruochen's eyes flashed sharply, and he slowly regained his composure, silently looking at the scenery outside the window. After a while, he took out a jade bracelet from his arms. This jade bracelet was crystal clear, and even more
The most peculiar thing is that there are actually a few round pearls inlaid in the jade bracelet, which are shining with brilliance.
Ye Ruochen took Bai Qiqian's tender hand and put the jade bracelet on her wrist: "This is my gift to you."
Bai Qiqian was a little confused: "Why did you think of giving me a gift today?"
Bai Qiqian stroked the jade bracelet, remembering the half of the jade bracelet in her arms, and stretched out her hand to take off the jade bracelet and return it to Ye Ruochen.
But looking at his smiling face, my heart softened.
Ye Ruochen smiled happily: "Fuyao, have you forgotten? Today is your birthday."
It turns out today is her birthday.
Bai Qiqian felt touched in her heart, and the smile on her lips was bitter: "Ruochen, thank you."
Ye Ruochen glanced at Ziyu with a distant look.
In fact, there was a reason why he prepared this gift for her. In the imperial city, he always saw Ye Liyuan playing with half of a jade bracelet in his hand. Later he realized that this half of the jade bracelet was left by Bai Qiqian.
Ye Ruochen smiled and said: "Fuyao, we have rested for a while, why not go."
Bai Qiqian glanced at Ziyu hesitantly: "Ruochen, then she..."
Ziyu's eyes were filled with tears: "Your Majesty, please take Ziyu with you. Even if it means bringing tea and water to the prince, Ziyu is willing to do so."
Ye Ruochen suddenly asked: "Fuyao, if you like it, then stay."
Hong Luan said: "Ye Ruochen, you should give her everything. Do you think you can..."
Ye Ruochen's voice became sharp: "Okay, stop talking."
Hong Luan's face changed, and the resentment in his eyes flashed: "Don't regret it then." Did he think that if he was obedient to Bai Qiqian, she would fall in love with him? This is simply a stupid idea.
Hong Luan ran out angrily.
Bai Qiqian had a smile on her lips: "Ruochen, why don't you go out and chase me?"
Ye Ruochen was slightly startled, his eyes darkened, and then he looked away: "That's not necessary."
Because he knew that Hongluan would not leave.
The group of people walked out of Taibai Tower. Ye Ruochen looked around but did not see Hongluan.
After waiting there for a while, he directly ordered his servants to set off.
Ye Ruochen and Bai Qiqian got on the carriage together, with a soft light in their eyes: "Fuyao, I hope I can celebrate your birthday every year."
There was a faint hope in his eyes. Why didn't Bai Qiqian understand this feeling?
She smiled in a daze, looked at the dazzling jade bracelet on her wrist, and said softly: "Ruochen, although this jade bracelet is very good and I like it, it is not the most suitable for me."
After that, she took out the half-broken jade bracelet from her arms and stroked it gently, as if it was her most beloved object: "This is the one that suits me."
A faint light flashed in Ye Ruochen's eyes: "This jade bracelet is not suitable for you, but this jade bracelet is suitable for you."
After saying that, he got off the carriage and went to ride his white horse.
Bai Qiqian stared at the scenery outside the carriage and fell into silence.
