Bai Yanran wrapped an ice cube in a handkerchief and applied Qi Simin's palm, Qi Simin stretched out the red and swollen palm that was beaten by Zhang's and "hissed" and gasped. Joy was worried about watching from the sidelines, and blamed himself in frustration: "It's all the slaves and maids who are not good, and they can't keep the young lady." ”

Bai Yanran knew that the Qi family was afraid of having someone like Shui Yue before, so she later chose a girl with such a simple temperament as Xile and put it next to Qi Simin, so she relieved her and said: "It's not a coincidence that I came, otherwise my aunt wouldn't have found out that my sister was not in the house." ”

Qi Simin said indifferently: "It's okay, my mother is merciful, and she is reluctant to hurt me." When she was a child, she was much heavier than this, and the injury will go away tomorrow. ”

Bai Yanran also sighed: "My aunt was really angry before she moved the family law, sister, you are really, you almost had an accident last time, why did you sneak out by yourself?" I don't blame my aunt for being so angry. ”

Qi Simin was counted down by her, but said with a smile: "Yanran, if you know what I have done, I will also think that I will not lose this beating." ”

Bai Yanran was curious when she heard this: "What did you do?" ”

Qi Simin said triumphantly: "I went to the Prince's Mansion and settled everything." ”

Bai Yanran blinked in surprise and wondered, "Solution?" How was it solved? ”

Qi Simin then told about his plan of "coercion and temptation" and everything that happened afterward, Bai Yanran's face was very strange when she heard it, and she looked at Qi Simin in disbelief.

Qi Simin was immersed in it, unaware, and asked excitedly: "But Yanran, why do you have time to look for me today?" Isn't it time to be busy preparing the dowry? ”

Facing Qi Simin's ridicule, Bai Yanran said calmly: "There are still more than two months, don't worry, I'm afraid that you will be bored at home, so I came to see you." ”

Seeing her look like this, Qi Simin really didn't have half of the shyness and longing of the soon-to-be-married woman, and couldn't help but hesitate: "Are you unhappy because of those gossips?" ”

Seeing that she was silent, Qi Simin hurriedly comforted: "Yanran, don't listen to those rumors, there is always that person who likes to chew people's tongues behind his back, you don't have to go to your heart." ”

Bai Yanran chuckled and said: "I didn't take those words to heart, it's just that they don't come to the ground, there must be a reason for it, and I won't fall into the eyes of the queen mother inexplicably." This marriage was originally the meaning of the queen's mother, born in the emperor's family, and His Royal Highness King An was also involuntarily. ”

Others don't know the reason, but Bai Yanran knows why she won the favor of the queen.

Qi Simin listened to her words, and didn't know how to persuade her for a while, so she had to puff up angrily: "I think this must have come out of the Lord of Mingzhu, otherwise why did she just come out of the palace with her front foot, and the rumors on her back foot flew all over the sky." ”

Bai Yanran was a little surprised by this, in her previous life, Gu Yueyao was successfully married into King An's Mansion as a concubine, but because of her simple mind and no scheming, she was calculated by several concubines in the mansion. But she has always had an upright temperament, even if she has suffered a lot of losses, she can't change her temper, and she doesn't want to change her temperament in this life.

Recalling all the things in her previous life, Bai Yanran couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, talked to Qi Simin for a while, and went back when it was almost lunch. Along the way, Bai Yanran was in a state of mind, and her thoughts couldn't help but think of her previous life.

In his previous life, he was picked up by Ji Lingyun and returned to the palace shortly after his wedding, even if Gu Yueyao became Princess An as she wished, she was not satisfied.

Soon after getting married, Ji Lingyun pampered Liu Xing'er, a girl who had been waiting since childhood, to mention the concubine room, and soon after brought the Oiran Shuyue back to the palace as a concubine. This successive concubines undoubtedly did not take into account Gu Yueyao's decency, and the deeper the estrangement between the two, it was finally the queen mother who mediated to settle down.

I didn't want to be born for a few days, and I came to a picturesque place, which completely turned King An's mansion into a puddle of troubled water. If Ji Lingyun is in love with Liu Xing'er, and Shu Yue is entrusted by others, Gu Yueyao can still turn a blind eye, then the picturesque situation completely makes Gu Yueyao chaotic.

I have to say that whether it is a stunning appearance or a talent and scheming, the picturesque deserves to fascinate any man in the world. It's no wonder that even Ji Lingyun, who had been among the thousands of flowers, was blinded and failed to see the evil behind this red face.

If it weren't for Bai Yanran's transformation into a cat in her previous life, she might not be able to be as wise as a torch.

However, the world is impermanent, in her previous life, she was still able to watch coldly, but in this life she has become a hot potato in her hands.

Bai Yanran's heart turned a thousand times, and she just got out of the car, but when she saw Bai Boren's expression ready to go out in a hurry, she couldn't help but wonder: "Brother, have you come back for lunch?" Why are you going out again? ”

Bai Boren is the head of the Ministry of Rites, but he is a six-grade official, if it is not for festivals, weddings and funerals, he has always been very idle, and he can come back when he copies the documents after lunch. However, with the marriage of King An recently, the Ministry of Rites has also been busy, but I haven't seen him come back so early for a long time.

Bai Boren seemed to be taken aback and turned his head suddenly, only to see that it was Bai Yanran who breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, which startled Bai Yanran as well.

"Brother, your face is so ugly, isn't it heat stroke?"

Bai Boren smiled: "It's okay, I'm just in a hurry to come back and get something, I'm about to leave, you go back first." ”

As he spoke, he leaned over again and said, "The street is not very peaceful these days, so don't go out if my sister has nothing to do, even if you go out, you have to bring a few more people with you." ”

Looking at Bai Boren's meaningful eyes, Bai Yanran was thoughtful. At the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital, how can there be a reason that the streets are not peaceful, I am afraid it means something else. Bai Boren had always known that his sister Bing Xue was smart, and these tips were enough, so he grabbed the things in his sleeve and got into the carriage and hurried away.

Because Ji Lingyun was recuperating from his injuries, all the matters of the Ministry of Rites were sent to King An's Mansion by people.

Such trivial matters are naturally for these little officials to run errands, but now no one dares to bother Bai Boren, the brother-in-law of King An, and today it is Bai Boren who takes the initiative to ask for his life. Others only think that he wants to be warm with King An, the future brother-in-law, so naturally they will not rob him.

Bai Boren didn't have this calculation in his heart, and the whole thing could be traced back to a long conversation with Bai Zonglin last night.

In the past few days, a news that is unfavorable to the king has been spread in private, and the news came from Dali Temple, and now there is no way to verify the origin, and there is no movement in the emperor. But I can't bear that this matter is too shocking, and everyone can't help but talk about it in private.

Ji Sihong knew that the general trend had gone when Zhang Xianli took the initiative to surrender to Dali Temple, and then Ji Chengyu took the opportunity to rescue Qi Simin, so he had to be suspicious of the connection between these two things, otherwise the timing would be too coincidental.

Now that there are rumors, Ji Sihong knows that Zhang Xianli has probably spoken. Although his father did not summon him, he changed his normal routine and snubbed his mother for many days, and he couldn't help but panic.

Ji Sihong convened his henchmen to discuss the matter, and felt that he had not reached the end of the mountain. After all, it is difficult to verify this matter after many years, and Zhang Xianli's one-sided words are not to be trusted, as long as there is no other evidence, it is not worrying.

It's just that now that the East Window incident has happened, in order to calm down the matter, it is necessary to push out a substitute for the dead ghost. I'm afraid that there is still the prince behind this matter, and Ji Sihong also has to knock and knock the people below not to talk nonsense, after all, many people faintly know a little bit about the original matter.

Now everyone in the household department is in danger, for fear that they will die like the colleague who was pushed out to confess the crime. At the beginning, a few people who knew the inside story and hid the evidence together, decided to strike first, and used Bai Zonglin to hand over the things to the prince through the hands of King An.

It's just that now King Jian's eyes are staring tightly, and he can't help but startle the snake, so Bai Zonglin entrusted the matter to his son Bai Boren, and quietly sent things to King An by virtue of his position.

Things went unexpectedly well, and after Bai Boren sent the song to the study, Ji Lingyun stayed to watch the tea. Even putting aside the in-law relationship, Bai Boren has been on an errand under Ji Lingyun for half a year, and he has some understanding of this famous boss, and he is already a little sure in his heart.

Ji Lingyun asked very familiarly, "I don't know how Yan'er is doing?" ”

Listening to the intimate title of "Yan'er", the tea that Bai Boren had just sent into his mouth almost squirted out, and after coughing dryly, he looked embarrassed and said: "My sister is very good, and I am tired of the prince." ”

Ji Lingyun nodded and said, "That's fine." It's a pity that the queen mother stopped me from going when I was hired before, and this king hasn't seen Yan'er for a long time. ”

The corners of Bai Boren's mouth twitched a little, and he tried to calm down: "The law is in front, and the prince is indeed not suitable to go." ”

Ji Lingyun sighed, and said in a melancholy tone: "I know that my father and the emperor rashly gave Yan'er a marriage, and I must be worried in my heart, and the wedding day will be more than two months, if only I could meet and talk to Yan'er." ”

The more Bai Boren listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and frowned: "Listening to the prince's words, it seems that he and his sister are acquainted?" ”

Ji Lingyun raised his eyebrows, and said proudly: "Also, how can Yan'er tell you this kind of thing, but Yan'er and I don't just know each other." ”

Bai Boren resisted the urge to continue asking, he believed that Yanran was by no means a woman like Yueyu who didn't know what to do. But now, it doesn't matter how the two of them used to be, and their sister will marry in two months.

He pondered for a moment, thinking that he had something to ask for, and then reluctantly said: "I can't hide it, three days later, my mother wants to take my sister to Niangniang Temple to ask for marriage, if the prince has something to say to my sister." You might as well go to the Niangniang Temple that day, so it is not against the law. ”

Ji Lingyun's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he arched his hand with a smile: "In this way, thank you brother for making it happen." ”

Bai Boren coughed twice, "The prince has tormented the lower officials, but he really can't hide it, the lower officials came here today to ask for something." ”

Sending Bai Boren away, Ji Lingyun hooked his lips and looked at the ledger in his hand. Gu Fang came over and asked, "This is the account of King Jian's unauthorized taxation in Huaiyu, Shao'an and other places?" ”

Ji Lingyun nodded and handed him the account book.

"You send things to the Prince's Mansion and try not to be noticed."

After a pause, he said with a smile: "Prepare in addition, the king of Japan will go to the Niangniang Temple to worship marriage." ”
