Although the Bai family said that there was a princess, after all, the official position was there, and even the queen did not break the rules to invite people to Taihe Palace. arranged the seat at the top of the Lingxiao Pavilion, next to Qi Zhang'an and his wife.

The Qi family sat down with Bai Zonglin at the top, and after a while, Bai Zonglin disappeared, and he hid among the officials to push the cup and change the lamp. Fortunately, sister-in-law Zhang was on the side, and the two didn't feel difficult talking.

It's just that after a while, I saw Su Xin come over and take Qi Simin away, saying that Bai Yanran wanted to talk to her for a while. Although Qi didn't say anything on his face, he thought in his heart that it would be good if he could see his daughter for a while.

I didn't think that Qi Simin would come back with a depressed expression after a while, and she naturally wouldn't tell her about the matter of Fang Cai Taihe Palace. But the Qi clan was so confused, but Bai Boren could see the difference.

After three rounds of drinking, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Bai Boren quietly walked out of Lingxiao Pavilion and went to the Taihe Palace in front of him, and it was at this time that Princess Lingxi got rid of Ke Sang and came from her aunt to Lingxiao Pavilion.

The night was dark, and the two of them looked in a hurry, and they never thought of touching each other on the corridor.

"Oops", Lingxi rubbed the corners of his forehead and sat on the ground, secretly screaming in his heart that he was unlucky, just hoping that the other party had never seen him.

"Are you alright?"

Hearing a gentle man's voice, Lingxi covered half of his face by rubbing the corners of his forehead, and quietly peeked through his fingers. I saw that the man was holding a lantern in his hand, and the light reflected more and more his handsome eyebrows, warm temperament, and looking at himself with a concerned expression.

Ling Xiqiao's face flushed, and after confirming that she had never seen this person, she put down the hand covering her little face to meet Bai Boren's gaze. Seeing Lingxi's delicate appearance at first glance, Bai Boren was also stunned, and then hurriedly lowered his eyes and took two steps back quietly.

"It's abrupt, it's offended, please forgive me."

Lingxi hurriedly got up from the ground, but found that he had just walked in a hurry, and he hit it so hard that he didn't even know where the embroidered shoes had fallen, and he was busy hiding his feet under the skirt with only his foot clothes.

She said embarrassedly: "Childe doesn't have to mind, it's also me who is reckless, so I won't see the person in front of me clearly." ”

Bai Boren didn't notice her small movements, and only then did he notice that Lingxi didn't have anything to illuminate, so he stretched the lantern forward, intending to give it to her.

But he didn't want the lantern to shine forward, so he shone out an embroidered shoe on the ground. Bai Boren was stunned for a moment, then went to look at Lingxi's feet, and really saw that she had lost her embroidered shoes on one foot hidden under the hem of her skirt.

Lingxi was so ashamed that if Aunt Sang Cong knew that she had lost her embroidered shoes in front of a foreign man, she was afraid that she would punish herself for copying the "Women's Rules" for a lifetime.

It is not easy to expose personal objects such as underwear and foot clothes in the daughter's house, and Bai Boren's face is also a little hot.

He calmed down slightly, took two steps forward and picked up the embroidered shoes and put them in front of Lingxi, and then bowed slightly and was about to leave, but Lingxi was busy wearing the embroidered shoes and stopped him and said, "You, where are you going?" ”

Bai Boren hesitated slightly, and then replied honestly: "I'm going to Taihe Palace to find someone, I don't know where Miss is going?" ”

Ling Xi also said without concealment: "I'm also going to look for someone, do you know where the seat of Qi Shilang of the military department is?" ”

Bai Boren was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you want to find Miss Qi?" Are you acquainted with her? ”

Ling Xi didn't answer honestly, shook his head slyly and said, "I can't tell you this, you just have to tell me where I am." ”

Bai Boren saw that she seemed to have come out of the Taihe Palace, and guessed which young lady she was familiar with Simin, so he was even more relieved, so he said: "That's it, the person is in Lingxiao Pavilion, I'll send you over, and I'll leave when you see someone." ”

Lingxi actually meant exactly that, and he readily agreed.

The two walked one after the other, Lingxi felt the cool wind blowing on her cheeks at night, and someone behind her was carrying a lantern to light the way for her.

At the same time, Sang Cong's aunt searched around the banquet and did not find the earrings, and suddenly became suspicious. She went out to ask the palace people guarding the gate of Taihe Palace, and really learned that Princess Lingxi did not take the road back to Liuli Palace, but went to Lingxiao Pavilion and Qiankun Pavilion.

Aunt Sang Cong was suddenly in a hurry, and she didn't dare to rush forward to find someone, so she went back to inform His Royal Highness King An.

Bai Yanran listened and said, "In this way, Princess Lingxi should have guessed Simin's identity, so she went to Lingxiao Pavilion." ”

Seeing that Ji Lingyun didn't think so, Aunt Sang Cong hurriedly said: "Please also ask His Royal Highness King An to send someone to find it quickly, if outsiders know, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of the princess." ”

Ji Lingyun nodded and said, "What my aunt said is that this king will let people go to Lingxiao Pavilion." ”

After saying that, Sang Cong's aunt saw His Royal Highness King An get up and go to His Royal Highness the Prince, and after whispering for a while, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found a vacancy and got out of the Taihe Palace.

Ji Lingyun came back and said to Aunt Sang Cong: "Auntie, don't worry, someone has already gone to find Lingxi." ”

Sang Cong's aunt was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

Speaking of Lingxi's side, Bai Boren led people outside Lingxiao Pavilion, and when Lingxi saw the palace people guarding the door, he suddenly hid in front of him, and he was holding his sleeves to hide his delusional face.

However, there are two palace lamps hanging high in front of the door, illuminating the front of the door as bright as day. Guarding the door here tonight is the forbidden army in the palace, patrolling around the palace every day, how can you not know the truth of the two princesses in the palace.

"The last general has seen the second princess."

The two forbidden soldiers at the door knelt down together, which startled Bai Boren, but he heard the woman behind him reluctantly say, "Get up." ”

"Princess Xie."

The two got up, didn't look at Bai Boren, and only said to Lingxi: "I don't know what the princess has to do, but tonight, this Lingxiao Pavilion is feasting the courtiers and their relatives, and the flow of people is like weaving, lest they collide with the princess." ”

Ling Xi put up the shelf and said: "This palace is just here to look for people, and I will leave after seeing people, so I don't have to make a fuss." ”

The two glanced at each other, but still didn't let go, for fear that Ling Xigong would be responsible for what had happened inside.

"Please think again, princess."

Seeing that the two of them still didn't get out of the way, Ling Xi said angrily: "You, you ......"

Bai Boren also came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The princess is angry, the two adults are right, there are many people inside, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts, and the princess's daughter should not go in." Since the princess is looking for someone, why don't you go in and pass it on for you. ”

Ling Xi frowned and looked at Bai Boren, who was suddenly detached, and became more and more angry for no reason, so he turned around and left angrily. Bai Boren was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly subconsciously chased after him with a lantern.

After walking for a while, most of the anger in Ling Xi's heart disappeared, and he turned to look at Bai Boren who was following him and said, "What are you still doing with me?" ”

Bai Boren quietly took two steps back, and replied respectfully: "The road is dark at night, and the princess is inconvenient to walk, so Weichen will give you a ride with a lantern." ”

Ling Xi saw that he was looking at the ground in an orderly manner, and he didn't even want to look up at himself more, so he simply had the courage to look at this man carefully. In all fairness, this person's appearance is not as handsome as the Fifth Emperor Brother, not as handsome as the Second Emperor Brother, and not as good as Tanhualang's Yushu Linfeng, but he is also dignified, and his calm and introverted temperament is even more inexplicably reassuring.

"What's your name?"

Bai Boren hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "The head of the Weichen Rites Department, Bai Boren." ”

Ling Xi paused, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are the brother of the Fifth Emperor Sister-in-law. ”

Bai Boren nodded and responded: "The sister-in-law is Princess An, and it turns out that she and the princess are acquaintances. ”

Ling Xi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, can I see you again when I go to King An's Mansion in the future?" ”

Bai Boren was stunned, looked up, and saw that Lingxi's cheeks were slightly red, but his eyes were as bright as stars. Seeing him, Ling Xi hurriedly turned around, and said duplicitously: "I, I just said casually, don't take it to heart." ”

After saying that, he took a step forward, and Bai Boren behind him followed with a lantern. After a while, he saw the lantern in front of the gate of Taihe Palace, and there was a lively and noisy scene in front of him, so Bai Boren stopped moving.

When Lingxi saw Aunt Sang Cong waiting in front of the door, and turned to look again, there was no longer that figure behind him. Aunt Sang Cong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Where has the princess gone?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now looking for you in Lingxiao Pavilion. ”

At this moment, Ji Chengyu was standing in front of the door of Lingxiao Pavilion, and the three of them were not walking the same road, so they did not bump into each other.

So the forbidden army guarding the door of Lingxiao Pavilion sent Princess Lingxi away with the front foot, and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again on the back foot, and I didn't know whether to say lucky or unlucky.

"The end will see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ji Lingyun bowed his head and asked, "Have you seen anyone before?" ”

The two of them thought to themselves that they didn't know how many people they had seen here today, what did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by asking.

One of them reacted and replied, "Back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Princess Lingxi has been here, but then left. ”

The other person also understood, and added: "It was Lord Bai, the head of the Ministry of Rites, who sent the princess back with a lantern." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there were footsteps approaching behind him, and Ji Chengyu turned around and saw Bai Boren saluting when he approached: "Weichen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Ji Chengyu bowed his head and said, "Get up." Lingxi has already gone back? ”

Bai Boren nodded and responded: "Weichen just came out to breathe and happened to meet the princess, and when he saw that the princess did not bring an attendant with him, he gave the princess a ride, and saw that the princess came back when she arrived at Taihe Palace." ”

Ji Chengyu nodded, and said no more. Bai Boren didn't know what to say for a while, but at this moment, another person came out of it and said to Bai Boren: "Brother Boren, why are you still here?" ”

When Qi Simin spoke, he saw a person standing in front of Bai Boren with his back to him, and at this moment, when the person heard the words, it turned around and turned around, Ji Chengyu, and couldn't help blurting out and asking, "Why are you here?" ”

Bai Boren coughed dryly on the side and reminded, "Simin." ”

Qi Simin came back to his senses at this time, and bowed in a proper manner, seeing that Ji Chengyu looked at him and didn't speak, he had to go to see Bai Boren again.

Bai Boren had no choice but to guess: "Princess Lingxi came to Lingxiao Pavilion to look for you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not be at ease to come to find Princess Lingxi." ”

Qi Simin was surprised: "Princess Lingxi? ”

She remembered that Bai Yanran had just said during the banquet that Princess Lingxi was pure and lively, but her aunt next to her was too strict, and it was difficult to get acquainted in the palace on weekdays.

"Why did she come to look for me?"

Ji Chengyu finally opened his mouth and replied: "She has always been very curious about which young lady will become the crown princess, and it is probably because of this that she wants to meet you." ”

Qi Simin scratched his cheek and said, "I see." ”

Ji Chengyu looked at her and hesitated for a moment, then said, "Would you like to go with me?" ”
