71. Hundred Miles Renault's One Promise
An Xiaoxiao got into the carriage out of the palace. This time, I didn't arrange for her to be with the other ladies, but I had one for her.
Shortly after the carriage left the palace gate, it suddenly stopped, and the curtain was suddenly lifted. An Xiaoxiao looked at it, and it turned out to be Di Yong, who she hadn't seen for many years. This big man is still as burly as he was five years ago, but he has a little more respect when he sees An Xiaoxiao.
"Miss An, the prince is invited!"
An Xiaoxiao got off the carriage inexplicably, and saw Baili Renault standing by the fine river passing through the city with his hands, and he had already changed into the usual outfit of a son. When he saw her come down, he waved at her.
It was getting late, and there was no expression on his face, except for his eyes flickering like water in the black night. Calculating the age, this kid is only fourteen years old, why does he always look like a little adult?
"Your Highness, what are you looking for me?"
"Our bets have to be settled!"
An Xiaoxiao blinked and asked, "So, is Your Highness planning to fulfill your promise?" β
Baili Renaud raised his eyebrows: "You will come to my house to report from tomorrow!" β
An Xiaoxiao pursed the corners of her mouth: "Although I didn't get the colorful phoenix hairpin this time, others didn't get it either!" Brother, you should thank me so much, how can you still let me be your maid? β
That's right, the final result turned out to be that no one gave the colorful phoenix hairpin. Although the emperor and empress praised her and Jian Yaochi in public, the result was really depressing.
Seeing a look of grievance on her little face, Baili Renaud was secretly amused in his heart, and his face was silent, and asked, "Did you help me in any way?" β
"It's obvious, right? You are not satisfied with the crown princess chosen by the queen for you, and you want me to make trouble for you, so that you have an excuse to delay for a while. β
"However, the content of our bet is whether you can win the colorful phoenix hairpin, isn't it?"
"Brother, be reasonable!" An Xiaoxiao stretched out a finger and waved: "Am I not 'able' to win the colorful phoenix hairpin now?" β
An Xiaoxiao accentuated the word "can". She changed the content of the gambling contract to the question of whether she has the ability to do so, which is sophistry.
Baili Renault was laughed at by her: "Then you mean, I'm the one who loses?" I'm being unreasonable now? β
An Xiaoxiao pretended to be benevolent and righteous, and said: "Let's be brothers, I won't cheat you, let's even if it is a draw!" She was about to take her leave, and turned to leave.
Baili Renaud didn't expect her to be so reckless, and after a moment of surprise, he saw that she was about to walk to the carriage, so he had to stride forward and pull the villain down: "If the bet is drawn, then we will make a deal, how about it?" β
An Xiaoxiao turned her head, tilted her little head, and asked, "Deal?" β
"How about taking your time for a month to exchange a promise from this king?"
An Xiaoxiao shook off his hand, touched his chin and thought for a few seconds, then looked up and asked, "What are you planning?" Why do you want me to go to your house for a month? β
Baili Renault looked at her with a smile: "What do you think I am?" β
"I'm a little girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet and runs to your house all day long, isn't this damaging to your reputation?" An Xiaoxiao frowned, and glanced at Baili Renault suspiciously: "Do you want to use me to help you block the peach blossoms?" β
Baili Renault nodded appreciatively: "That's right! β
An Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: "Brother, aren't you really so naΓ―ve, do you think that if I have any scandal with you, it will make Jian Yaochi or Mu Lanxi die to you, right?" β
Baili Renaud smiled, and suddenly stretched out his hand and flicked it on An Xiaoxiao's head: "This smart brain has times when he can't figure it out after all!" β
He seemed to be very happy when he saw An Xiaoxiao holding his head and screaming, and for a while he released a bit of his natural instinct at his age.
An Xiaoxiao saw his dark expression, and couldn't help but complain about this guy's low-level taste.
Baili Renault said with a smile: "You don't have to know how to operate the Dao, as long as you cooperate with this king." β
An Xiaoxiao rubbed her forehead and thought about it again. Although she couldn't guess his intentions, she had to think seriously about the deal. Her heart had been disturbed by a scimitar. The Turks have seized power in the north, and the original owner of the scimitar is afraid that he will come to the capital of Sitong at any time. She can't help but plan ahead, and she can only rely on the prince in front of her if necessary.
Thinking of this, An Xiaoxiao stared at Baili Renault seriously and asked, "No matter what promise, as long as it doesn't violate the code of ethics and conscience, you will definitely help me, right?" β
Seeing that she was so serious, Baili Renaud knew that she really had something important to ask herself, so he nodded solemnly: "This king must do his best." β
"In that case-" An Xiaoxiao stretched out her right hand: "Then make a deal!" β
Baili Renault glanced at her hand, unsure of what it meant. An Xiaoxiao simply held his right hand directly and shook it three times.
Baili Renaud felt the softness in his hands, and he didn't want to let go.
Who knows, An Xiaoxiao shook her hand, immediately withdrew her hand, and emphasized again: "This transaction will be closed, whoever cheats is a puppy!" β
Baili Renault couldn't help but laugh, and he didn't know who Lu Dao was the one who was playing tricks just now. He took out a brocade box from his arms and put it in An Xiaoxiao's hand.
"What is this?" An Xiaoxiao took the small and delicate box and checked it.
"For you!"
After saying this, Baili Renault drove her back to the carriage, and he and Di Yong rode away first. An Xiaoxiao heard the sound of horses' hooves moving away, so she opened the brocade box. The lid of the box is halfway opened, and a refreshing fragrance has poured out. When it was fully opened, I saw an elegant and white autumn laurel lying quietly in the center, which was the branch used for the first trial of the colorful phoenix hairpin.
