Chapter XXXVIII
The Queen Mother's birthday banquet ended in a harmonious and happy place, and after the nobles sent the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother away, several attendants led the way to the palace gate.
Because Xie Fengqing returned to the Yong'an Hou Mansion one step ahead, only Bai Suxin and the county lord of Lile were left to go together.
Most of the nobles, including the two of them, were low-key and cautious, and did not dare to say anything.
Only the flower shuang, still shouting so loudly without scruples.
Bai Suxin sighed faintly and said softly: "This flower girl is really fearless and ignorant. ”
"No," the county lord of Lile walked over and grabbed Bai Suxin's arm, "Although the Queen Mother didn't say anything during the banquet, it doesn't mean that she doesn't care about Hua Jingshuang's rude behavior. ”
Bai Suxin couldn't help but sigh and said: "Speaking of which, I can be regarded as offending Hua Jingshuang, I don't know if she will come to me to settle accounts later." ”
The county lord of Lile pursed his lips and said angrily: "She dares!" This is in the palace, and it is not her turn to go wild. ”
"How bold is the flower girl, hasn't the county lord seen it yet?" Bai Suxin smiled faintly.
The county lord of Lile recalled the scene when Hua Jingshuang sat down directly after the queen mother finished saying that she changed positions, and suddenly shook her head violently.
"But Sister Bai don't worry, I'll personally send Sister Bai back later." The county lord of Lile took the initiative to ask for help.
"Isn't that right?" Bai Suxin was obviously a little hesitant.
"What's wrong, she was provoked by me to relieve the siege, Sister Bai shouldn't shirk it." Lord Lile looked at Bai Suxin with smiling eyes and said.
Bai Suxin felt that since the county lord of Lile said this, it was not good for her to continue to insist, so she had to bow her head slightly and said, "Okay, thank you county lord." ”
"Sister Bai doesn't have to be polite." The county lord of Lile said happily.
So the county lord of Lile and Bai Suxin held their arms and walked out of the palace briskly.
Seeing Bai Suxin and the county lord of Lile walking together, Qianqiu asked with a puzzled expression, "Girl, what is this?" ”
"This is Lord Lile." Bai Suxin explained.
Qianqiu hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Participate in the county lord." ”
"Come on," Lord Lile looked at Bai Suxin with a smile, "This girl looks quite clever, what's her name?" ”
"Her name is Qianqiu, and she is my personal maid." Bai Suxin explained with a smile.
Qianqiu was full of curiosity, how did the girl enter the palace and get in touch with the county lord?
As for who the county lord of Lile is, although Qianqiu has heard of it, he is not familiar with it.
After all, the county lord of Lile had been living in the northwest before.
The next scene made Qianqiu even more dumbfounded, the county lord of Lile actually followed the girl into the carriage?
Just as Qianqiu hesitated, the county lord of Lile commanded: "Qianqiu, you go and help me talk to the coachman of the county lord's mansion, let him follow behind your girl's carriage later, and I will go back after sending your girl back to the house." ”
"Yes." Although Asaaki was stunned, she still saluted and turned to walk towards the county lord's carriage.
"By the way," continued the county lord of Lile, "since I have taken your girl's carriage and occupied your place, then you can go and sit in my carriage." ”
Qianqiu was even more dumbfounded, this county lord was really not ordinary.
Not to mention that the dignified county lord didn't even bring a maid when he went out, and he would even allow other people's maids to sit in her carriage?
Wonderful, wonderful.
Asaaki walked to the carriage of the county lord's mansion in a daze.
Lord Lile said with a smile: "Sister Bai, your maid seems to be a little dumbfounded!" ”
"It's the county lord who is too generous, and even gives her his carriage to sit in. Besides, a little girl really hasn't seen much of the world, which is a momentary rudeness. Bai Suxin explained.
"Sister Bai doesn't have to say that, it's not rude." Lord Lile smiled lightly.
Although the speed of the carriage was not fast, because the distance was not far, it did not take long to come to the gate of the White Mansion.
Qianqiu hurriedly trotted over and prepared to help Bai Suxin and the county lord of Lile get out of the carriage, but before Qianqiu could react, the county lord of Lile jumped down.
Qianqiu is full of admiration for this Lile County Lord.
Aren't the county lords next to him all pampered? Why is this Lile County Lord so different?
Bai Suxin didn't have the slightest surprise on his face, but said politely: "The county lord wants to sit in the mansion?" ”
Although Bai Suxin expected that the county lord of Lile would not go in, he still asked.
The face that should be given still has to be given.
The county lord of Lile really shook his head, and excused himself: "I won't go, I'll come back another day to visit Sister Bai." ”
After Bai Suxin sent off the county lord of Lile, he strode back to his mansion.
What he saw and heard in the palace made Bai Suxin's mood unable to calm down for a long time.
Princess Zhaohe was gone, and her only hope at this time was pinned on Chu Yan.
Perhaps, there are some clues that can be obtained from Chu Yan.
"Qianqiu, you go to someone to inquire about a Chu girl, and if there is a woman named Zhaohe in the royal family, you must keep a low profile." Bai Suxin explained.
"Yes." Although Asaaki was puzzled, she still responded.
When Bai Suxin returned to the mansion, his father was still in the military department and did not come back, and the eldest brother went to Jin Wuwei again, which means that there were no other elders in the mansion except for his stepmother Qi Tong and his mother-in-law Yulan.
And these two people don't care so much about Bai Suxin.
Soon after Bai Suxin returned to Tassel Garden, he changed his clothes and left the White Mansion.
Of course, Qianqiu was a little curious, what happened to the girl in the palace, but she didn't dare to talk nonsense.
The most important thing is to do what the girl tells you to do.
Bai Su thought about it again and again, but still felt that it was not enough to just let Qianqiu inquire.
So it was safer to go to Tu Wu to inquire about Princess Zhaohe, after all, he knew a lot of people in the capital, and it should be easier to inquire about the news.
It's not dinner yet, and there are hardly any customers in the restaurant.
Bai Suxin came to the wine shop, and Tu Wu was sitting at a table in the corner at this time.
"The girl is here?" Tu Wu suddenly stood up happily and ran over in a hurry.
"I have something to trouble you." Bai Suxin wasn't sure if Tu Wu would be willing to help her, so she hesitated.
"Where is this girl, it is my honor to serve her." Tu Wu grinned.
After Bai Suxin looked around, he motioned for Tu Wu to enter the backyard.
In the backyard, there were only Xu Tiezhu and Xu Shuzi and their two wives.
Tu Wu felt that the girl must have something important to say, so he specially told them to go to the kitchen to prepare the dinner for the evening.
After there was no one in the courtyard, Bai Suxin spoke: "I need to ask for your help to find out if there is a clan girl named Zhaohe in the capital." ”
Bai Suxin expanded the scope of the investigation to the clan girl, thinking that she could always find some clues about Princess Zhaohe.
Tu Wuxuan responded vividly and said, "Don't worry, girl, let's check the little one." In less than three days, there will be results. ”
"Thank you." Bai Suxin said politely.
