When Bai Yi returned to the palace, Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong had been waiting for him for half an hour, and when she saw him, she frowned and asked, "Didn't you let you attend the banquet well, why did you leave the table early?" ”

Bai Yi poured her a cup of tea and said extremely innocently: "Didn't I go, but then I really couldn't stand the smell, so I went out to breathe." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Prince Zhong thought of her son's strange problem, didn't pursue the matter anymore, took a sip of tea, and said seriously: "Yun Xian, you are not too young, Zijing is going to be a father, and Wanze is also married, so you can't have a snack on your own relatives?" The mother concubine is old, and she just wants to tease her grandson and enjoy her family in peace, so you can't satisfy my wish? ”

"Isn't there Brother Jie?" Hearing the word "Sun", Bai Yi blurted out a sentence, Bai Xiujie is the son of his eldest brother Bai Mian, and he regretted it after saying it, and sure enough, he only heard Prince Zhong snort softly.

"That can be the same!"

Just when Bai Yi wanted to change the topic, Prince Zhong revealed her previous words, asked the maid to send a few paintings, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "This is the portrait of several young ladies you are more satisfied with at today's banquet, which one do you like better?" ”

"Mother, I don't know when I said something like satisfaction?" Bai Yi said weakly.

"Did you nod your head when you read Yan Qingyu's poems?"

“……”

"Did you smile when you listened to Xu Caiqing play the piano?"

“……”

"Did you praise Li Zifang's painting when you saw it?"

“……”

"Since their poems, pianos, and paintings can catch your eye, then you might as well choose from them." As she spoke, Prince Zhong pushed the portrait to Bai Yi's hand, "Miss Yan is the granddaughter of Mrs. Yan, so she naturally didn't learn to say it, and her appearance is also marked, but it is a little thinner." Although Miss Xu is only the daughter of a waiter, her face is like a full moon, her body is plump, and her temperament looks good. This Miss Li is the daughter of Ping Renbo, and she doesn't look bad or anything, but her father is close to the Xiao family. I'm more optimistic about Miss Xu, but after all, this is your life's event, and you want to like it yourself. Yun Xian, which one are you more satisfied with? ”

Bai Yi silently put down the teacup, didn't even glance at the portrait with his eyes, and bent the corners of his mouth and smiled: "It's not early, the mother concubine is tired for a day, go back and rest early." You also said that this is related to my lifelong happiness, and I can't make such a hasty decision, let me think about it carefully and then tell you. ”

As soon as he said that, Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong really felt tired, nodded, and said again uneasily: "Give me a good look at the portrait." ”

"I see, Princess."

Bai Yi sent the princess away and sat alone on the chair, holding the teacup but not drinking, with no expression on his face.

Xi Pei really doesn't understand what her master is thinking, she doesn't get married, she doesn't accept concubines, she doesn't go to Qinglou, and she doesn't get close to women at all. Sometimes she is bold enough to wonder if her master has a habit of dragon yang, but she has not seen him get close to any son.

Of course, Bai Yi is not good at breaking his sleeves, he just doesn't like the smell of fat powder on the woman's body very much, and because he is more sensitive to the smell, the maids who serve in his courtyard are not allowed to rub the fat and powder. But the princess and lady are not keen on rouge gouache, because he usually stays away from these people when he sees them, let alone who he wants to marry. Of course, this is only a small part of the reason, and more importantly, he wants to find a woman he really likes to marry, just like his second sister Yaqing County Lord and Xu Yanzhen, a couple from generation to generation in his life,

However, he doesn't like to contact women, and it seems a little difficult to realize this wish.

After sitting for a long time, Bai Yi was about to get up when he ran into the portrait next to him, the portrait fell to the ground and rolled away, in the trance of the light, a slightly emaciated beauty was smiling at him, Bai Yi frowned and muttered: "The mother's vision is really not good, it is not as good as Lin Changru's smile during the day." ”

Thinking of what happened at the Zhen family during the day, Bai Yi decided to go to the Lin Mansion tomorrow to have a look, walked by the side, and ordered without looking back: "You clean up here." ”

"Yes." Xi Pei bent down to pick up the portrait, looked at the smiling beauty in the painting, and sighed pity. I can't even look down on such a beauty, and I don't know which girl the son will be able to look at in the future.

The next day, Bai Yi went to the Lin Mansion early in the morning.

Lin Bining instructed the sword to pay attention to who Zhao Yicheng was dealing with outside, and was about to go to Xixina, when he heard the maid say that Bai Yi was coming, so he asked Changge to go and tell Mr. Yan that he would be late.

Let Qingyin make tea, Lin Bining smiled and said, "Yun Xian, why are you here?" ”

Bai Yi smiled and said, "Yesterday, I heard that the doctor said that you were not in good health, and it was inconvenient to ask at that time, so I came to see you today." ”

Lin Bining smiled at her embarrassedly: "I'm fine, it's just that I've been tired lately and my complexion is not good, Doctor Zhen has already helped me see it, you don't have to worry." By the way, are you okay? Yesterday's drug was really sorry. ”

"I'm fine. Who are those two people, and why are they bothering you? ”

"I had a bit of a holiday with them when I was in the school before."

Bai Yi thought for a while and said, "It won't be that they were taught a lesson by you when they bullied people, so hold a grudge." ”

Lin Bining was drinking tea with her hand, and she choked a few times when she heard this, and it took a long time for her to recover, and she looked at each other with red eyes: "How do you know?" ”

"I guess." Bai Yi looked at Lin Bining's slightly red eyes and tearful eyes, like a rabbit in the forest who fled in a hurry and avoided hunting, he blinked his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a beautiful arc, "Changru looks like he should be able to use some fists and kicks, why didn't he use his fists to change the drug yesterday?" ”

Lin Bining haha: "I can't talk about fists and embroidered legs, where can I be considered good at fists and feet, the elders in the family don't like these, and I won't do anything with people in the future, so I brought some drugs to defend myself." ”

Bai Yi nodded and accepted her statement.

Lin Bining didn't want to discuss with him the question of whether she could martial arts, so she said: "I've finished reading those two books, Yun Xian, you can take them back when you come." ”

"Okay." Bai Yi remembered the paper written by Lin Bining last time, and smiled softly, "I still have a lot of books in my collection, Changru, you can borrow any books you want to read from me, those incense pills can still borrow quite a few books." ”

Lin Bining obviously also remembered the sentence she wrote, her cheeks couldn't help but heat slightly, why did she write that sentence at that time, what is not profitable, will the other party think that she is too calculating and too meritorious, coughed lightly, and explained in a low voice: "I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong, I'm just ......"

Bai Yi interrupted with a low smile: "Don't be nervous, don't explain, I'm just joking with you, but borrowing books is serious." ”

Lin Bining looked at him with a shallow smile, was slightly stunned, opened her lips and was about to say something, when a little maid shouted outside: "Mrs. is here." ”
