Chapter Seventy-Three: The Man Who Longses

Because Bai Suxin couldn't go out to see the scene of Princess Heqin going out of Beijing, he didn't know the specific details.

Qianqiu and a few other little maids were full of curiosity about this grand scene, so Bai Suxin allowed them to go out to see it.

The tassel garden was empty, but it made Bai Suxin feel very uncomfortable.

She simply went out by herself and went outside for a walk.

Walking to the avenue next to Qingque Street, the crowd of Wuyangyang blocked the road.

"Have you heard, the princess and her relatives are also the daughter of the Qing family of Honglu Temple."

"No one knows about this now."

Bai Suxin overheard the people discussing, first a little surprised, and then couldn't help but smile.

It seems that even if Chu Yan is no longer Princess Zhaohe's maid in this life, she still accompanied Sima Zhaohe to the northern country.

It's just that the northern country is far away, and I don't know what kind of life the two will live after they get there.

Just when Bai Suxin was stunned, the girl's crisp call suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Sister Whiteβ€”"

Bai Suxin searched for the sound, only to see the county lord of Lile coming from the crowd.

And beside the county lord of Lile was Xie Fengqing of the Yong'an Hou Mansion.

Bai Suxin had a smile on her face and greeted, "County Lord, Miss Xie." ”

"Sister Bai also came out to see the excitement? Just now I saw Sister Xie near the tea shop in front, thinking that this place was closer to Qingque Street, so I walked along, but I didn't expect to really meet Sister Bai. The county lord of Lile smiled happily.

Xie Fengqing said with a smile: "It is really a kind of fate to meet the county lord when you go out." ”

Although the honor guard of the princess had gone far away at this time, the avenue was still very crowded, and the gap between the three of them talking was almost washed away.

"There are a lot of people here, so you might as well go and sit in the house." Bai Suxin pulled the sleeves of the two and said.

Lord Lile stroked his forehead and sighed, "It's okay." ”

I don't know who hit her, but I almost knocked her out.

It's too scary to join in the fun, so she should go and sit in Sister Bai's yard.

When the three of them returned to the Tassel Garden, the maids in the courtyard had not yet returned.

"The maids have all gone out to join in the fun, but there is no one to serve us tea." Bai Suxin sighed.

Lord Lile smiled and said, "Sister Bai doesn't have to be so polite, we have just gone out and don't feel thirsty at this time, so it's better to sit under the big tree and chat first." ”

Bai Suxin always felt that this seemed a bit rude, but Xie Fengqing, who was looking at the side, also nodded slightly, and then invited the two to sit at the stone table.

As soon as he sat down for a while, Qianqiu returned to the courtyard with a few maids.

"Qianqiu, go prepare some tea." Bai Suxin commanded.

Qianqiu was still immersed in laughter for a moment, and was stunned when she saw a guest in the courtyard.

"Yes." Asaaki bowed, then quickly retreated and prepared to go.

Lord Lile pursed his lips and said in a very low voice: "Do the two sisters know that the Chu Yan who accompanied Princess Heqin to the northern country is also a noble girl who participated in the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?" ”

"Is that so?" Xie Fengqing frowned slightly, as if he had indescribable worries.

"Well," the county lord of Lile nodded fiercely, "It seems that the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is really going to pick someone out, and it is estimated that Chu Yan was selected by the Queen Mother from among us." ”

Bai Suxin also couldn't figure it out now, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was really to choose who to accompany the princess and her relatives?

So how did the Queen Mother know that the person who was close to her was Sima Zhaohe?

Didn't you already decide that Sima Zhaohe would go to the north to make peace, right?

"But the Queen Mother's birthday banquet has been going on for some time, did the Empress Dowager Tong already know at that time that the Northern Kingdom asked to marry my court?" Xie Fengqing asked in surprise.

The county lord of Lile was also stunned for a while, and Sister Xie seemed to have a point.

"Maybe the Empress Dowager Tong has already decided on the princess and the candidate to accompany the princess, and the birthday banquet has another purpose." Bai Suxin said slowly.

"Sister Bai means, do we have to be scared for a while?" Lord Lile pouted and asked.

"The county lord doesn't have to worry too much, if you really want to know something, it's better to go to Shouchuan Palace and walk around more and find out some news." Xie Fengqing comforted on the side.

Li Legui is the county lord, and he doesn't need too much communication to meet the Empress Dowager Tong when he enters the palace, basically he can go if he wants to.

The county lord of Lile let out a long sigh and said, "I have long wanted to ask the Queen Mother to inquire, but I have been there several times but I have found nothing. ”

"The Queen Mother didn't say anything to the county lord?" Xie Fengqing asked puzzled.

"Yes," the county lord of Lile suddenly raised his voice, "The queen mother just smiled and said, she didn't have any purpose, she just wanted to meet the nobles in the capital." But if you want to see it, why only see the nobles who have not left the cabinet for more than four grades? ”

Bai Suxin was silent and did not speak, and it was not until this time that there was a trace of an eyebrow in his heart.

"Maybe the Queen Mother really doesn't have any specific purpose, but it's also true to examine the character of the noble girl. It is estimated that the noble daughter who is favored by the Queen Mother will be in charge of the marriage. Bai Suxin lowered his eyes and said.

"Then the Queen Mother is not afraid that the noble girl she likes will not know about it, and she will marry in advance?" Lord Lile asked without thinking.

Bai Suxin shook his head and said: "The movements in the back house in the capital can't escape the eyes and ears of the Queen Mother, and besides, it is impossible to be silent about such a thing, and the Queen Mother will always know." When the time comes, how can it be possible to marry early? ”

"What the white girl said makes sense, but I don't know who the Queen Mother's next fancy will be." Xie Fengqing looked at the gate of the courtyard with a vacant look in his eyes.

She doesn't want to be favored by the Empress Dowager Tong, and she doesn't want to be controlled by others about her life.

But will the person she had in her heart appear today?

If the Empress Dowager Tong insists on arranging a marriage for her, will her father go against the Empress Dowager for her?

Although the county lord of Lile is young, he is quite alert about the affairs of men and women, and he can see Xie Fengqing's thoughts at a glance.

"Ahem, cough, cough," the county lord of Lile deliberately cleared his throat, with an unbelievable expression on his face, "Sister Bai, can Second Brother Bai be in the mansion today?" ”

Xie Fengqing raised his head suddenly, looking at the county lord of Lile in surprise.

The county lord of Lile blinked, and looked back at Xie Fengqing with satisfaction.

Bai Suxin observed the expressions of the two and seemed to have discovered something.

"The second brother went to study too much, I'm afraid I won't come back today." Bai Suxin said, observing Xie Fengqing's expression intentionally or unintentionally.

Xie Fengqing sighed inadvertently, perhaps not even noticing herself.

"What did Sister Xie do with a sudden sigh?" The county lord of Lile asked with a strange look.

Xie Fengqing's face turned red in an instant, did she just sigh?

She didn't realize it at all.

The county lord of Lile lowered his head and snickered, and after a while, he slowly asked, "Sister Xie has someone to admire?" ”
