At the foot of Jiuyi Mountain, Su Nanjin and Bai Qiqian walked separately.
Before leaving, Bai Qiqian repeatedly warned him: "Nan Jin, don't forget the three-day appointment. Otherwise, I will be angry." In fact, she didn't know why, but she regarded him as more important.
Su Nanjin smiled: "I know, I will definitely come to see you when the time comes."
Bai Qiqian raised a bright smile, feeling a little more hopeful.
She happily walked towards Prince Yuan's Mansion, but before she could enter the palace's gate, she was stopped by Ye Ruochen, who was holding her tightly in a public place in broad daylight.
"Fuyao." Seeing her from a distance, he felt ecstatic for no reason. He walked forward and held her in his arms, "Fuyao, you're back. I thought... But it's good that you come back."
"Ye Ruochen, you bastard, let go!" Bai Qiqian struggled out of his arms and looked at him angrily, "Ye Ruochen, what do you want to do with your nerves?"
"Fuyao, I just miss you. We haven't seen each other for a few days. Today I suddenly saw your beautiful figure on the street. I was inevitably a little excited, so..."
Ye Ruochen had calmed down, and said with a smile on his face with a bit of scorn.
Bai Qiqian said calmly: "I'm not in such a good mood as you, so I'm still wandering on the street."
Ye Ruochen was not angry either, with an evil look on his face: "Fuyao, if I don't want to hang out on the street, do you want me to hang out in Prince Yuan's Mansion? I would be happy to hang out in Prince Yuan's Mansion, and I can see you more and be with you.
Improve relationship."
Bai Qiqian wanted to vomit blood: "You might as well set up an immortal throne and enshrine me."
Ye Ruochen clapped his hands: "This is a good idea. One day I will mount a portrait of you in Prince Chen's Mansion and enshrine it for you. Over time, you will definitely be able to sense my thoughts."
Bai Qiqian shook her head: "Don't waste your efforts. I don't have time to feel your thoughts. I have to serve my prince well."
Ye Ruochen was a little unhappy and said sadly: "Fuyao, you just can't see how good I am to you, which really makes me sad. If I die one day, I will definitely be hurt by your sadness."
Bai Qiqian clapped her hands: "If you die, there will be one less scourge in the world."
Ye Ruochen had a sad look on his face, biting his lip, and just had to put a piece of brocade handkerchief in his mouth, his eyes sparkling with tears: "Fuyao, you..."
Bai Qiqian looked at him like a resentful woman and chuckled: "Ye Ruochen, you are really wasting your talent by not being an actor. However, I don't have time to chat with you now. I have to go back to the palace.
went."
"Fuyao, I invite you to have dinner at Tianxiang Tower." Ye Ruochen's eyes flashed with a faint light, "Don't you like to eat the roasted pigeon from Tianxiang Tower the most? Today, the Emperor of Japan will treat you to an all-you-can-eat meal."
If it were the former Princess Fuyao, she might still be moved by Ye Ruochen's proposal.
However, Bai Qiqian has no interest in the roasted pigeon: "No matter how delicious the roasted pigeon is, I have no appetite now. I have to go back to the palace. If I'm late, he might be angry with me again."
Bai Qiqian walked towards the palace without any hesitation.
Ye Ruochen looked at her unyielding back with dim eyes.
As soon as she entered the gate of the palace, the steward walked up to her and said hurriedly: "Princess, the prince will look for you as soon as he comes back. He is waiting for you in the hall now. You'd better go quickly."
Ye Liyuan came to look for her as soon as he came back. Could he be angry that he ran out?
Bai Qiqian took out the pendant, held it in her hand, and walked towards the hall.
Before people entered the hall, they heard a bunch of voices, the loudest of which was Lin Huang'er: "Yuan, you haven't been in the palace these past few days, but Huang'er is anxious to death."
Yun Ran also said quickly: "Your Majesty, Ran'er has been praying in front of the Bodhisattva these days, hoping that the Prince can come back safely. The fact that the Prince is well is Ran'er's greatest blessing."
"My lord, you are finally back, and it's not in vain that Nishang talks about you every day. I hope you can hear Nishang's heartfelt wishes."
Ye Liyuan was surrounded by all the beauties. His face was still pale, but there was a smile on his face: "It's my fault that I didn't have time to tell you when I went out this time."
"What did the prince say? How dare I blame the prince?" Hong Luan said considerately, "It will be good if the prince comes back."
On weekdays, when Ye Liyuan goes out for something, he always asks the housekeeper to inform all the concubines.
But this time, the situation was urgent, and he forgot to mention it, which made the beauties burst into tears.
Ye Liyuan saw Bai Qiqian appear at the door and said to the beauties: "This time, I have brought you some gifts. I will have someone deliver them to you later. You can go back to the courtyard first."
Lin Huanger pouted: "Yuan, are you going out with the princess this time?"
Yunran interrupted and said: "Concubine, you don't know this. I heard from the palace guards that as soon as the prince left, the princess went out, not with the prince."
"I don't know when the rules of the palace will change if I don't go home at night." Nishang sighed.
Bai Qiqian sneered: "Mrs. Yunran, you are very capable. You can even get information about the palace guards. It seems that I underestimate your ability. Since you are so powerful, how could you not
Do you know where I have gone?"
Yun Ran's face turned green and white: "Your Majesty, Ran'er didn't intend to inquire about anything, but..."
Ye Liyuan said casually: "Ran'er, you don't need to explain, I already know it."
Yunran pouted and swallowed the words in his throat.
Mrs. Chu Jing said softly: "The rules in the palace are naturally decided by the prince. My sisters, the prince has just come back, so we better not disturb the prince's rest."
Hongluan said with a smile: "Sister Chujing is right, let's go back to the yard each."
Nishang muttered: "If the princess doesn't give an explanation, it will be difficult to convince the public."
Yunran also said: "Sister Chujing, the rules in this palace are naturally decided by the prince. However, there are some things that cannot be set. If you stay out for one night today and I stay out for one night tomorrow, this palace will still be a good one."
How unbecoming.”
Nishang nodded: "There are no rules without rules. If we don't set the rules now, if something embarrassing happens in the palace later, it will be too late."
Lin Huanger's face turned pale for a moment, and she recalled the day Lin Xiaotian came to the palace.
Mrs. Chujing asked kindly from the side: "Concubine, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly?"
Lin Huanger had a gloomy face: "I'm fine." In this palace, there was another person she disliked, Mrs. Chujing, which really pissed her off.
Bai Qiqian glanced at everyone: "Where I have gone is naturally my business. Do I still need to explain to you? Humph, have your status been higher than mine? What qualifications do you have to question me?
?”
The ladies looked ugly and looked at each other.
Bai Qiqian narrowed her eyes and said word by word: "You really want to find fault with me? Do you really want to pull me down and replace me?"
Mrs. Chu Jing said calmly: "What the princess said is serious. Naturally, the princess does not need to explain her actions to us. The prince has not asked why the princess did not return home at night, so naturally it is not our turn to ask."
Hong Luan nodded: "Princess, the fact that we can come to the prince's side and serve the prince is a gift from God to us. We definitely have no thoughts of replacing it, and we also ask the princess not to accuse us at will."
Nishang's tears fell: "Your Majesty... Sister Hongluan is right. Serving the Prince is our duty. We have never thought about fighting for power and profit."
Bai Qiqian looked at them coldly, with a disdainful smile on her lips.
This group of people either come from powerful families or from the land of fireworks, and their acting skills are first-rate.
She stood quietly aside, listening to them tell their grievances and unwillingness.
Ye Liyuan didn't speak, he just kept looking at her. There was an emotion in his eyes that she couldn't understand. Bai Qiqian looked into his eyes fearlessly, waiting for him to speak.
Mrs. Chu Jing saw the expressions of the two of them, and a faint light flashed in her eyes.
Lin Huanger felt a little upset. Bai Qiqian stayed away all night, so why did Ye Liyuan ignore her? Or was it that Ye Liyuan didn't like her at all, so he ignored her?
If that's the case, that's good news for her.
Yun Ran saw that everyone had been talking for a long time, but Ye Liyuan didn't respond at all. She said quickly: "My lord, are you not at all curious about how the princess lives outside?"
Ye Liyuan nodded slowly, as if fulfilling everyone's wish, and asked casually: "Qianqian, it seems that you need to give an explanation to me and all the beauties."
Bai Qiqian grinned, stretched out her hand, and held Ye Liyuan's pendant in her palm: "Yuan, I went to your study the day before yesterday and saw the amulet on the desk, and I was worried about you. So I took the amulet and wanted to go out and catch up.
you."
Nishang snorted coldly, obviously not believing what Bai Qiqian said.
Bai Qi smiled lightly, and then said: "When I left the palace, I realized that I didn't know where you were, Your Majesty. Afterwards, I went to the temple and asked for a prayer.
It was a sign. I was worried about the prince. Fortunately, the master in the temple interpreted the sign and said that I need to pray in front of the Buddha for a day and a night before the problem can be resolved."
Ye Liyuan: "Fortunately, Qianqian helped me resolve the disaster, and I was able to return safely. Since this matter has happened, Qianqian gave me an explanation, and also gave you an explanation. You go back."
Listening to Ye Liyuan's words, the ladies could understand that the prince did not want to pursue the case at all, and they could only return to their respective courtyards angrily.
Bai Qiqian lowered her head, waiting for Ye Liyuan to ask. Unexpectedly, Ye Liyuan said lightly: "Qianqian, you pray for me. I have knelt in front of the Buddha statue all day and night. I am tired. Go back and rest early."
Bai Qiqian was stunned for a long time, then nodded and responded: "Okay, I'm going back, you should have a good rest."
Ye Liyuan looked at her back with a smile as bright as a flower.
