Chapter 14 The rain continues

I thought it would rain for two days like in previous years, but this year it lasted for many days.

Baili Baoshu sat by the window of the side hall, with a pair of pen and ink that had not yet dried in his hand, but the pure painting paper was painted with roses outside the window that were defeated by the spring rain, the petals were still bright colors but completely lifeless and fell in the black muddy water, and there were only a few residual petals on the branches and leaves that were still luxuriant.

Baili Bao is very good, but before he was reborn, he only loved delicate and beautiful scenes, but he never painted them...... I've painted scenes of such a fall.

The magpie stood aside and did not speak, watching Baili Baoshu sit on the edge of the bed and quietly look out the window.

Only since the eldest princess woke up, the magpie noticed the change, but she didn't know where to start with the change, wearing a palace dress of breeze bamboo, the wide sleeves of the bamboo leaves seemed to move realistically, the waist-wide belt was simply inlaid with an azure jade, and a string of tassels hung around the waist.

The fair and delicate skin is as bright as mutton fat and white jade, and the picturesque mist between the eyebrows is now a little more calm and ethereal, the sandalwood mouth is like a cherry, and the nose is straight...... It is said that on the day the eldest princess was born, the roses of the entire Qiang country bloomed all over the mountains, and the emperor thought it was a good omen, and the entire palace was greatly rewarded.

It's just that only from the death of the queen......

The magpie didn't think any further, and his eyes gradually lowered his head calmly and guarded Baili Baoshu's side.

Baili Baoshu looked at the rain and fog outside, and was a little tired and half lying on the couch not far away.

Jiao Rao opened the curtain in front of the door and walked in, and stood at the door for a while, without a lot of water on her body, before walking inside.

"Princess, Princess Feifeng came over and said that she was greeting the princess."

"Just say that the palace is lying, let her go back", Baili Baoshu didn't see Baili Feifeng's thoughts, and his slender fingertips seemed to rub a clear jade bracelet on his wrist unintentionally.

"Yes", Jiao Rao bent slightly and retreated, and Baili Baoshu continued to look at the unstoppable rain outside in a daze.

The entire Yongyi Palace was quietly shrouded in smoke and rain, outside the palace gate, on the flat stone slab, there were a few eunuchs with their heads bowed standing next to a sedan chair, allowing the cold rain to hit their bodies.

The maids standing beside Baili Feifeng on the left and right were also cautious at this time.

"Since the imperial sister has already fallen asleep, then don't disturb the imperial sister's rest", Baili Feifeng looked at Jiao Rao standing in the gate of Yongyi Palace, and her face showed a little embarrassment and grievance.

"The slave and maid send off Her Royal Highness the Second Princess", Jiao Rao Shi Ran saluted and said, standing at the gate of the palace, personally watching Baili Feifeng and his party disappear from sight before going back to their own princess.

Thinking about the second princess who wanted to come to the palace just now, who did she look like she was bullied.

On a rainy day, the sky darkened relatively quickly, and Baili Baoshu, who had been lying for most of the day, got up instead, although his face was still a little lazy, but he did not plan to continue to lie down.

Guerlain took a bright yellow trimmed cloak and draped it on Baili Baoshu, who was walking outside, the air was clear with a kind of extraordinarily clean, mixed with a faint fragrance of flowers, and it was extraordinarily quiet under the faintness of this drizzle.

Baili Baoshu exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled, and Guerlain and Magpie looked at each other but were a little confused.

"Guerlain, have there been any new anecdotes in the palace in the past few days?"

"Several concubines have been honest recently, but Concubine Qi has spoken to the second princess a few times, and handed letters to the Qi family outside the palace twice, and these emperors also know."

"Above the court, it is said that General Feng wanted to cast a new weapon for the town ** team, but it was shelved by Lord Qi and others because it would cost a lot of money and would arouse the suspicion of other vassal states."

"Heh......", Baili Baoshu couldn't help but sneer when he heard it, "Arouse the suspicion of other vassal states?" I'm afraid that the closure of the family will affect me."

"What's more, the current vassal states are not thinking about increasing their own troops, but this Lord Feng is an empathetic person", Baili Baoshu said, the last warmth in his eyes has also disappeared, after the destruction of the Qiang Kingdom, no one can know how much of a role a strong army will play when the princes are fighting in the back.

Baili Baoshu said that there was already a plan here, thinking that in the end, almost all the Feng family died on the battlefield for the sake of the Qiang Kingdom, and even the powerful Hengyu at that time had many ministers moved by this.

"Call the Seal in."

"See Her Royal Highness the Princess", Feng Ci knelt on one knee, and the magpie quietly retreated when he saw this.

Feng Ci looked at the smooth floor under his knees calmly, waited for a while and didn't see any movement, and looked up slightly at the eldest princess who had her back to her in front of her, with a slender background, dressed luxuriously, and her black hair hanging down behind her without a trace of restraint......

Feng Ci suddenly withdrew his gaze, knowing that he had overstepped.

When Feng Ci walked out of the side hall, the long corridor outside had been lit with bright palace lights, and he had a face to face with Nian Yao who was guarding outside, but Feng Ci did not stop and walked in the direction of the outside of the palace.

Not long after Feng Ci left here, Baili Baoshu, who had changed into a crescent-colored palace uniform, also walked out of Yongyi Palace, supporting dozens of guards and walking towards Qianqing Palace.

When Baili Yao heard that Baili Baoshu was coming, he was still a little stunned, this eldest daughter who was spoiled in the palm of her hand from childhood to adulthood, although her temperament was sometimes stubborn, but she was by no means a willful princess who was overly favored, and since the death of her own queen, she had to let Concubine Qi enter the palace, her eldest princess was a lot more estranged from herself.

A while ago, it was even more almost ...... Bai Liyao put down the red pen in his hand, and the old eunuch who had been serving by his side for decades immediately went out to greet him respectfully.

"Sons see their fathers."

"It's raining outside, why did Shu'er come here", Baili Yao said as he pulled Baili Baoshu, who had not yet knelt down.

"Erchen thought that his father must still be working hard for Qiangguo, and Erchen also wanted to do something for his father", Baili Baoshu sat down at the table on the side with Baili Yao, and the magpie behind him had already walked over with a food box.

"The food made in the small kitchen of the son, my father will taste it", Baili Baoshu said, and personally added a bowl of steaming soup to Baili Yao.

Baili Yao took the porcelain white delicate small bowl, and the heat guarded the palm of his hand and ironed it to his heart, and the nerves that had been tense seemed to be a little relaxed, and even the other light side dishes sent by Baili Baoshu moved a few more chopsticks, and the old eunuch who was standing aside and waiting saw this and slowly put down the heart that he had been carrying for the past few days, others don't know, he is a close attendant of the emperor of Qiangguo, of course, he knows that the emperor has not eaten well at all recently because of state affairs.

When Baili Yao put down the silver chopsticks in his hand, Baili Baoshu smiled shallowly, but it was not difficult to see that he was very happy, but he said with a little blame, "It's because my father is in a good mood today, so my appetite is good, or because my father hasn't eaten yet."

"The eldest princess's atonement is the old slave's dereliction of duty", Bai Liyao here has not yet spoken, and the attendant next to him took the initiative to kneel down and plead guilty.

"You old thing, I saw someone come to support you", Bai Liyao scolded with a smile, and there was no blame in his tone.

"The father should focus on state affairs, but the entire Qiang country still depends on the father, and the father can't be as willful as Shu'er."

"Father, listen to Shu'er" Bai Liyao smiled and waved his hand, and the attendant who was kneeling on the side also stood up and stood behind Bai Liyao.

"At the flower festival a few days ago, there were also people from Uncle Guo's house."

"It's a post from Erchen, and it's the Lu family in the second room of the Zhang family, which can be regarded as a scholarly family", Baili Baoshu replied, "It's just that since the death of the mother, Erchen has not seen anyone from other families again, so this time Erchen made his own opinion."

"It's okay, it's okay if Shu'er wants to go back and have a look, but it will have to wait until the weather clears."

"Thank you for your kindness," Baili Baoshu said.

"I know that you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, it turns out that you are waiting for your father here."

"Don't wronged your sons, your sons will often come over in the future, and your father shouldn't dislike your sons and daughters to come and disturb your father."

Baili Baoshu sat in the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and talked to Baili Yao for a while before being respectfully sent out by Bai Liyao's close attendants.

"Father-in-law An, please take care of it in the future," Baili Baoshu turned to look at the old slave behind him and said.

"The eldest princess really tortured the old slave, this is all within the old slave's business."

"The affairs of the court are heavy, and there are always some old ministers who are not flexible and flexible, and if they make their father unhappy, please let the public announce one or two ......."

Gonggong An looked at the bag of things that were secretly stuffed in his hand, the weight in his hand was not light, and the magpie put it in Gonggong An's hand and stood beside Baili Baoshu, helping Baili Baoshu and a group of guards to leave.

"Princess, Grandpa An's ......", the magpie walked next to Baili Baoshu, and more than one hesitant thought in his heart, and now Her Royal Highness the princess herself is becoming more and more incomprehensible.

"The old slave who can come to this day in the palace is not stupid, he knows what he should do, and he will understand it if he looks at you more in the future."

"Oh", the magpie replied in a low voice, feeling that he had embarrassed the princess.

Baili Baoshu seemed to be able to see what the magpie was thinking and said, "You are my close attendant, there is still a lot to learn in the future, and in the future, you will have more contact with these spirits, and it is better to suffer a little loss in the palace than to get a lesson in the future."

The rain began to lighten, Baili Baoshu walked directly from Qianqing Palace back to Yongyi Palace, here Baili Baoshu has not walked back to Yongyi Palace, the news that the eldest princess has stayed in Qianqing Palace for a short time secretly flew into the palace of several concubines.

Qi Qingwan didn't say anything after hearing this, although Baili Yao preferred another child left by the former queen, but Baili Baoshu has always been not very close to Baili Yao, the imperial heir in this palace is weak, although there is only one royal daughter under his name, and there are few people in the huge harem who can act without looking at their faces, but since Baili Baoshu escaped death and took the initiative to remove the flower sacrifice, Qi Qingwan already had a bad premonition.

"Mother, Baili Baoshu has no intention of being close to Erchen at all, Erchen has been waiting outside Yongyi Palace for so long in the rain today ......."

"You're still too impatient", Qi Qingwan interrupted Baili Feifeng's bitter complaint, "You are still the second princess of Qiang Kingdom, there are people watching your every move, and you ran out so recklessly last time, if you are disturbed by those untouchables outside the palace, what will you do with the concubine."

"Your father doesn't like you to run to your mother's palace, so you won't come in the future, just let the people around you spread the news."

"Mother concubine, my father is obviously a hundred miles of treasure", Baili Feifeng said angrily. "Even if I'm obedient, my father can't treat me like he did to Baili Baoshu," Baili Feifeng said, and there was already water vapor in his eyes, and he was sad when he saw Qi Qingwan.

"Feng'er, you have to remember, if you want to step on Baili Baoshu in the future, you can't be so stupid, the emperor's family is ruthless, you have to remember this sentence."

"Mother, Erchen is unwilling" Baili Feifeng stood up and said to Qi Qingwan, "Erchen is also the princess of his father, and Erchen is not as good as Baili Baoshu."
