Chapter 53: Ugly Little Things
Since Bai Qiaoshui helped Bai Ningyu get off the carriage, Xiao Yu hadn't said a word.
When a pair of eyes looked at Bai Ningyu, they were also cold.
Bai Wanshui followed behind Bai Ningyu, like a little maidservant, followed by Xiao Yu.
"Bai Qiaoshui, I'm curious, why do you want to marry King Su? When I first knew, I was puzzled for a while, but now I don't understand it. β
Of course you can't figure it out, and if you think about it, she's miserable.
"Auntie, I don't like the prince again, I fell in love with His Royal Highness King Su at first sight before, so how can I ruin my life's events, isn't it?"
"This has the demeanor of our Bai family's daughter." Bai Ningyu thought of herself at that time, and there was a trace of melancholy between her eyebrows.
"How can you have auntie, your vigorous methods are powerful, auntie, what is the matter with you coming back this time?"
"What? Okay, I can't even go back to my home? β
"No, how could I mean that, I just think that aunt is a busy person, you can't even manage your son, how can you have time to run around, right?"
Bai Ningyu turned her head to look at Bai Qiaoshui's eyes, a girl with sharp teeth.
actually sarcastically ignored King Su like this.
"Bai Qiaoshui, how can I care that my son can't take your turn as a junior to point fingers."
"Auntie, do I have any fingers?" Bai Xiaoshui's innocent peach blossom eyes blinked.
Bai Ningyu snorted coldly.
Bai Qiaoshui is very helpless, her own aunt doesn't want to see her, what can she do?
After two or three cups of tea, Bai Ningyu stopped.
Bai Qiaoshui had never felt that Su Wangfu was so big, and gently patted his thighs, which were already a little soft.
That's when I was in the mood to see what kind of place it was.
On the high plaque is the neat three words "Meritorious Shrine".
"Get on your knees."
"Huh?" You can't call her, right?
"Bai Qiaoshui, this is the ancestral hall of the royal palace, dare to kneel down for me, no big or small, no rules."
What the hell, let her kneel like this?
"The princess's behavior is free and uninhibited, but it has not yet reached the point of violating national laws and family rules."
"The kneeling hall is too heavy."
Xiao Yu stood beside her, defending her with a cold face.
There has never been a moment more than now, which makes Bai Xiaoshui feel that Xiao Yu is a good person.
"Lord, I am your mother, the most noble person in this palace, don't you listen to what I say?"
"Bai Ningyu, you ......"
Bai Qiaoshui pulled Xiao Yu's sleeve, shook his head, and signaled that Xiao Yu didn't need to help her talk anymore.
Kneel and kneel, it's not a big deal, after all, this is also an ancestral hall, isn't it?
Bai Qiaoshui knelt straight on the bluestone slab, she thought that after kneeling for a while, Bai Ningyu would not find her stubble again.
As it turned out, she was still a little naΓ―ve.
In the next moment, Bai Ningyu gave Old Mama Xu a look, and Old Mama Xu handed over a box.
Bai Xiaoshui intuitively felt that it was not a good thing, and before he saw what kind of "treasure" it was, Xiao Yu beside him spoke.
"Bai Ningyu, you dare!"
Bai Xiaoshui's attention was immediately attracted by Xiao Yu.
A layer of frost had formed on that handsome face, and Bai Ningyu's eyes were full of hostility.
Bai Ningyu's movements only paused, continued to open the box, and reached out to touch inside.
When Bai Qiaoshui turned his head, Bai Ningyu happened to hold something in his hand and stretched out.
The next moment, Bai Qiaoshui's liver trembled, and his face turned white when he looked at the little thing in Bai Ningyu's hand.
The little thing turned out to be a small brown snake with scales all over its body.
It's a little hairy to think about that thing in front of me.
However, she is really not afraid.
"Lord, this is the rule of your Su Wangfu, you can't forget it, right?"
Xiao Yu was about to speak, and was stunned for a moment after hearing Bai Ningyu's words, and then he realized that externally, Bai Qiaoshui was indeed a person from Su Wangfu.
"What rules?"
"Use Princess Su's blood to raise this dragon." Bai Ningyu looked at Bai Qiaoshui, and the smile in her eyes was very proud.
Dragons? Is it the ugly little thing in her aunt's hand?
She likes beautiful things, not just people, but other things, otherwise she would not be able to sleep.
Now that she was stuffed with such a small thing, she promised that she would not be able to laugh in the future.
Before she could say no, Xiao Yu had already stepped forward and snatched the little thing called the dragon in Bai Ningyu's hand.
It was thrown into the box in one fell swoop, and then the box was closed with a "pop".
"Lord Wang, what do you mean by this? It's a rule passed down from your ancestors. β
"The rules are set by people, and now the person who supports this Su Wangfu is this king, not you Bai Ningyu."
Bai Qiaoshui was thinking about whether to go up to persuade him, when at this moment, a series of small "hiss" sounds came.
Looking in the direction where the voice came from, Lu Yun was hiding behind a pillar and hooked his hand at her.
Bai Qiaoshui raised her eyebrows, signaling that she had seen it.
After brewing for a while, Bai Qiaoshui covered his stomach, and then howled heartbreakingly.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts." As he spoke, Bai Qiaoshui's face became a twist.
"Auntie, I can't accompany you now, I'm sorry, I'll leave first."
After saying that, he stood up and turned to run.
"Stop!"
Bai Qiaoshui thought to herself that she would probably have to talk to her aunt for a while, and suddenly her heart was sang, and she didn't know how she was going to fix her.
"The princess is unwell, this king will take the princess to rest first, and then come back at dinner in the evening."
"Also, the emperor is sick, you should know this."
"What's going on?" There was some light flashing in Bai Ningyu's eyes.
Xiao Yu snorted coldly, as if he was looking at a stranger: "I care about him so much, why don't you go into the palace to see it yourself?" β
"Lord Wang, what do you mean?" Bai Ningyu looked at Xiao Yu fiercely in her eyes.
"What does this king mean, you don't know what you do? When my father died on the battlefield, why weren't you a little sad? β
"Now the old emperor is just lingering on the sickbed, you actually have this expression, should I say that you are too cold or too infatuated?"
Xiao Yu didn't have the slightest fear on his face, but there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "If people don't know, unless you don't do it, you know what you have done." β
After speaking, Xiao Yu pulled Bai Qiaoshui and turned around and left.
After listening to the conversation just now, Bai Xiaoshui was a little confused.
On second thought, she probably knew what was going on.
Shaking his head and sighing, it was another love triangle.
Before he could get far from the "Meritorious Ancestral Hall", Lu Yun jumped out.
"I think that old woman is very vicious."
Xiao Yu didn't speak, and Bai Qiaoshui was naturally not easy to answer.
After all, Bai Ningyu is her aunt and her biological mother.
Although she did not fulfill her responsibilities as a mother at all.
"Master, how can you let that old woman bully you? It's not like your style. β
"It's just like you bullied as a teacher, and being a teacher is not the same as your general knowledge, respect the old and love the young, understand?"
Bai Qiaoshui said as if he had something to do.
Lu Yun didn't say goodbye, and nodded sneeringly.
When he returned to Zizhuxuan, Xiao Yu put the box on the table, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea to drink.
Bai Xiaoshui looked at the box and cleared his throat: "That, Xiao Yu, what should I do with this little thing?" β
"For you."
What the! Give it to her?
There's nothing wrong with her ears, is she?
Why did Xiao Yu give her such an ugly thing, tears in her eyes......
Lu Yun and Xiao Lizi glanced at each other, smiled sadly, and were about to step forward to open the box to see.
But at the moment when his hand reached there, Bai Qiaoshui said as if unintentionally: "Anyway, I haven't found anyone to try the new medicine I just developed." β
As soon as they heard this, Lu Yun and Xiao Lizi's newly outstretched claws immediately retracted them.
"Xiao Yu, what kind of weird thing is this?"
"It is said that my grandfather Xiao Chen accidentally got it on the battlefield three hundred years ago, and I enshrined it, and it was invincible on the battlefield, and it could cure all kinds of diseases."
Tsk, such an ugly little thing can have this effect.
"Don't feed it, if you get sick, just boil it in soup and drink it, and you don't need to keep it for the king."
When Xiao Yu said this, it was as calm as discussing with Bai Qiaoshui what to eat tonight.
Bai Xiaoshui was embarrassed for a while, this is the winning treasure of Xiao Yu's ancestors on the battlefield.
Why did he lower his status and become a tonic directly after he changed hands to him?
"Xiao Yu, this is handed down by your ancestors, if you eat it, it's not good."
"This king didn't rely on this little thing to win the battle, if he relied on it, I don't know how many times he would have been defeated"
Xiao Yu threw her a roll of the eye as if he was looking at an idiot.
Bai Qiaoshui also rolled his eyes back, then picked up the box and studied it.
The box is surrounded by different patterns, and the carving is very random, but if you connect these four sides......
"Xiao Yu, why does this box look so strange?" Bai Qiaoshui handed him the box.
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to pick it up: "Show me." β
Turn the box around, and eventually the gaze stops on one side.
"Prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."
Little Pear hurried to find these things, and then sharpened the ink on the side.
A pair of eyes stared at the lines on the box for a moment.
However, if Xiao Yu doesn't draw these paintings, everyone can only look like they are reading a book from heaven.
Xiao Yu dipped his pen in ink and drew a few strokes on the rice paper one by one.
An hour later, the lines on all four sides were drawn on the rice paper.
It is obvious that the lines on these four sides are actually a map.
As for what this map is for, she really doesn't know.
"This can't be some kind of treasure map, right?" Little Pear exclaimed.
Bai Qiaoshui glanced at her, and the little girl's eyes were full of essence.
Treasure maps? Similar to it?
Bai Xiaoshui and Xiao Yu glanced at each other, and Xiao Yu just shook his head.
"The king doesn't know."
Bai Qiaoshui's face is dark, and even he doesn't know, so who else knows?
"This picture shouldn't be a treasure map, maybe it's some strange lines, and the person who designed the box is also looking good."
"After all, this map doesn't have any place names on it, does it?"
Bai Qiaoshui looked at the map again, and sure enough, there was not even a place name marked.
