Chapter five hundred and sixty-four, please take care of the princess
Bai Ling and the other two walked for half an hour, passing through many courtyards, before arriving at the place where the banquet was held.
Today’s theme is a bonfire party, naturally on the lawn.
It allows everyone to move freely, and it is also convenient for singing and dancing, as well as talking poems over wine.
"Finally, I've been waiting for you. Come and sit down next to me." When the Crown Princess saw the three of them, she waved with enthusiasm.
There is no clue that she did not send a soft sedan to pick up people. She clearly meant to make things difficult, or to intimidate a few people.
Bai Ling was the person the Crown Prince wanted to win over. He even wanted to marry Bai Ling as his concubine. Naturally, the Crown Princess had some grudges in her heart.
Now that Bai Ling is Shangguan Yu's crown prince, she has another powerful person behind her, and she doesn't have to be a love rival. Of course, the crown prince's attitude towards her is much better, but she has to follow the tone of her heart in order to 'turn an enemy into a friend'.
Princess Yayang is the sister-in-law of the Crown Princess. Regardless of whether they interact with each other on a daily basis, she must still appear to have a good relationship with outsiders.
Qin Xuerou's temperament was not liked by the Crown Princess, but the Qin family had a lot of troops and they loved this jewel in their palm very much, so they couldn't ignore her.
The backyard is an area that foreign men cannot touch, but it is also another battlefield above officialdom.
Women's friendships are mostly determined by their close relationship with men. The closeness between them also represents two families.
"I have met the Crown Princess\Sister-in-law." The three of them bowed and saluted, and then sat in the three empty seats beside the Crown Princess.
According to her status, Princess Yayang has the highest status among everyone present except the Crown Princess.
Even others could not defeat the princess Bai Ling.
Therefore, after the three people took their seats, everyone in the room had to bow to Princess Yayang and Bai Ling.
Bai Ling explained again why Baicao didn't come over, and the Crown Princess also greeted him with some understanding, and ordered someone to send some food to Baicao in the Qin Family Courtyard to show her care.
"Tonight's bonfire party was Bai Wei's idea. I heard she said that it would be held occasionally when you were at home, so that everyone could have fun together and enjoy the delicious food. I was originally worried that it would be difficult to organize, but now I feel
This is a great idea, Princess Jixiang’s ideas are indeed different from those of us ordinary people.”
The Crown Princess held Bai Ling in her arms intentionally, but she also pulled Bai Wei in. She didn't know what her intentions were.
Bai Ling smiled politely and said: "The inspiration for this bonfire party came from when our family was poor. We sisters were often hungry, so we went to the river to fish. At that time, our family couldn't even afford rice, so naturally there was no oil or water.
After eating enough fish soup, he lit a pair of fires in the yard to grill fish.
Later, life at home got better, but the sisters missed this feeling. Occasionally they would light a fire, but the types of roasts were much more complicated.
Later, the young people in the village would also make a few bonfires by the river in their free time, and everyone would eat and drink together to communicate. It gradually became a habit in the village, and this happened at least several times a year.
party."
The Crown Princess found a topic, and Bai Ling explained the reason generously, not feeling embarrassed at all about his origin or past.
"I really didn't expect that Princess Jixiang would live such a hard life. She must not even know what meat tastes like at that time, right? How pitiful." Someone said sympathetically, but with an expression of gloating, it made her
People are disgusted.
"You can become a great person only by enduring hardships. Without those miserable days, perhaps there would not be the current Princess Jixiang. There would only be a peasant girl named Bai Ling, or even a peasant woman.
Therefore, I am very grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to experience and learn more about how to cherish the happiness I have, and also understand better that only everything I earn is the most reliable." Bai Ling responded with a smile.
.
"Princess Jixiang means that you sisters have shared the joys and sorrows together. Now you are the princess, but your sister is still a peasant girl... Are you mocking your sister for being useless?"
The girl exclaimed.
Bai Ling still smiled faintly, and glanced at the Crown Princess holding a tea cup, pretending to be sipping tea, and couldn't help but feel cold in her heart.
No matter what the Crown Princess's real purpose is, it still depends on whether Bai Ling is willing to cooperate.
"First of all, my sister has set up a household on her own in order to prove her ability. It is not that she is worthless. Secondly, when a girl laughs at others, please examine your own ability first. If you don't have the fine clothes and hairpins at home,
Is it possible for me to earn half of what my elders have given me?
Again, I want to ask the girl, before she spoke to the princess, did she ask the princess if she was willing to give you this honor?" Bai Ling's smile was sweet, but the words he spoke were cold.
The girl didn't expect that Bai Ling would be so merciless. Her face turned red, and she didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed.
"I also asked the Crown Princess to make the decision for my daughter. I just blurted out the words out of curiosity. But what the princess said was too unforgiving. If word spread, how could I still see my face?
"The girl stood up and complained with a tearful voice.
"This..." The Crown Princess glanced at Bai Ling, and then said apologetically to the girl: "Get up quickly, the ground is very cold. You are young, so don't catch cold."
The Crown Princess spoke gently and motioned to the girl behind her to help the girl.
"Although I am a bit reckless, I have no ill intentions. If the princess is dissatisfied with what I just said, I am willing to apologize to the princess and ask the county to take back what I just said, so as not to ruin my reputation."
The girl refused to get up and saluted in Bai Ling's direction.
Bai Ling sneered in his heart and asked coldly: "What does the girl mean, can you take back what you said?"
The girl was startled, then realized it was her own slip of the tongue.
Without waiting for the girl to speak again, Bai Ling said to the Crown Princess: "Crown Princess, I am not a mean person. But I can't tolerate sand in my eyes. Whatever I think in my heart, I will say it out.
If you offend your Majesty's distinguished guests, please bear with me. After all, words spoken are like water thrown out, which can never be taken back, and I don't think I have the ability to do so."
Bai Ling said whatever she felt in her heart, undoubtedly telling everyone that she had no intention of selling the girl's favor.
Even the Crown Princess was quite surprised. She never expected Bai Ling to be so stubborn and insistent.
Whether it is Bai Ling himself who has such a temper, or whether it is the Han Palace that gives Bai Ling the confidence, it is worth pondering.
"This matter is not the fault of the princess. The princess does not need to worry about this matter."
The Crown Princess thought about it for a while, and then said in a gentle tone to the girl who was kneeling down to beg for justice: "Fortunately, there are no outsiders at today's banquet. Otherwise, if the words you just said were spread, it would be harmful to your reputation.
How can we have a good marriage in the future? Just tell the princess and the matter will be revealed."
There was a Crown Princess and Xini, and everyone was trying to save face. After the girl showed her modesty, they just pretended that what just happened had not happened.
When women drink alcohol, it's not hard liquor, but it's just to have fun.
Qin Xuerou felt bored and could only drink one glass of wine after another. Anyway, such wine could not make her drunk.
For the sake of safety, Bai Ling prepared alcohol-reducing pills when he went out, and the three of them had already taken them.
"I'm sorry, Princess. I didn't mean it. Please punish me, Princess." While Bai Ling and Qin Xuerou were talking quietly, they heard the voice of the maid from their feet.
Bai Ling looked down and saw a pool of wine stains on the Western chiffon, which seemed to be unevenly dyed. The skirt was ruined. (To be continued)
