Chapter 225: Empathetic
Bai Yanran sat at the table, took a sip of tea, and looked indistinguishable from joy and anger on her face.
Qin Ruhua on the side was still quietly wiping away tears, and Guan's mother knelt on the ground with her neck bent, meaning that she couldn't kneel for a long time, so she was a loyal servant who was dedicated to the Lord. Seeing Bai Yanran put down the tea, she shouted again: "Princess." ”
Bai Yanran sighed heavily when she heard this, but she didn't look at Mother Guan, and only said to Qin Ruhua: "Sister Qin has her own hardships and can't help herself, so why not this princess." I already knew that Aunt Tong was not a good person, but I still had to say that the prince welcomed her into the door, so how could I compromise and seek perfection.
But you have also seen that she thought of ways to embarrass me the day she first entered the mansion, and now she is relying on the support of Concubine Shu and the queen to ignore me more and more. I really fell in love with Sister Qin, so I will tell you some truth. ”
Saying that, Bai Yanran also took a handkerchief and lowered her head to wipe the tears that did not exist in the corners of her eyes. She is no better than Qin Ruhua, tears come as soon as she says, but she still has to do it.
"It's been almost a year since I married into the palace, but my stomach hasn't moved. Don't say that the queen is in a hurry, even my mother's mother is always worried, and specially asked people to send soup, but she can't get pregnant.
If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have to be so stubborn. Now don't say that Aunt Tong has been bullied, even if she rides on my head, I can only endure it, otherwise what can I do?
I was originally from a humble family, and it was only after great luck that I got into the eyes of the queen. The prince treats me well, but if I don't come out all the time, I'm afraid it won't last long. Sister Qin, I am also bitter in my heart. ”
Qin Ruhua's movements paused, and she exchanged a look with Guan's mother, and Guan's mother had to stop. The princess's words have all said this, if she insists on kneeling down again, it will be suspected of coercion.
Qin Ruhua accepted the veil and wanted to comfort Bai Yanran instead.
"Why is the princess like this, in the end, the prince is towards you, even if Aunt Tong is arrogant, she always has to take care of the prince."
Bai Yanran immediately put down her veil, there was no half of tears in her eyes, she patted Qin Ruhua's hand and said, "This princess knows that Sister Qin is empathetic, but she just wants to wronged you." ”
Qin Ruhua understood the current affairs and said: "The princess's hardships and concubines understand, so she has always been unwilling to tell the princess to embarrass you." Today, Guan's mother is reckless, and she is also fighting for the sake of the concubine, and she asks the princess for forgiveness. ”
Bai Yanran naturally didn't care, let Su Xin help Guan's mother up, and said kindly: "Guan's mother is loyal to the Lord, and she should be rewarded." Look at the cuffs of your clothes are about to wear out, Su Xin, you will go to the warehouse to pick up two good materials later, and let people make two clothes for Guan's mother. ”
Guan's mother was busy thanking, and the matter was revealed for the time being.
Sun Mingzhe, who was waiting on the side, kept his head down and was silent, and only then did he come forward to diagnose Qin Ruhua's pulse. After a while, he withdrew his hand and said to Bai Yanran: "Don't worry, princess, although this lady had a bit of a cold before, she is no longer in trouble. It's just that the body is a little weak, and it should be made up. ”
Bai Yanran nodded, and said to Qin Ruhua: "Sister Qin, don't worry, I will let the kitchen prepare two supplements in the future, and a family like our palace will never let you suffer such grievances again." ”
Qin Ruhua naturally didn't want to say anything, and Bai Yanran said again: "As for the head matter, you don't have to worry, I will reward you with two more pieces, and naturally I won't make you embarrassed at the Hundred Flowers Banquet." You should take good care of your body and wait for the day after tomorrow to attend the palace banquet. ”
Qin Ruhua said cowardly: "In fact, with the identity of a concubine, where can I go to such a palace banquet, it is also a joke to go, so forget it." ”
Although Su Xin has always had a good impression of Aunt Qin, she was also a little troubled when she went to the palace banquet because of this. Now I am relieved to hear her words, but I also muttered in my heart that I am afraid that I will be laughed at, I am afraid that it is my young lady.
Since the queen named her, Bai Yanran naturally couldn't let her go, otherwise she wouldn't know what she would be guessed about by adding oil and vinegar. She soothed: "Why should my sister be contemptuous, the Hundred Flowers Banquet is the kindness of the queen's mother's grace and the family of hundreds of officials, where is there a difference in identity." Since the queen has specially sent a decree for you to follow, it is the importance of you, and you can accept it with peace of mind. ”
As soon as Bai Yanran left, Guan's mother pouted and said, "Sure enough, it came out of a small family, and it will only be these unpopular methods." I can't conceive such a background, and I think she will not be able to sit in the position of princess for a long time. ”
Qin Ruhua sneered: "Isn't this such a method also making you unable to make trouble?" ”
Mother Guan glanced at her, and also sneered: "Miss, you have always had good means, but now you can't only let that Tong Ruoyao bully." ”
Qin Ruhua sneered: "What do I compete with her, and she is also worthy?" ”
Seeing Sun Mingzhe away, Bai Yanran returned to Linglong Xiaozhu, and saw Lian Yue standing at the door talking to Zhu Ling. Su Xin saw it from afar, and joked with Bai Yanran: "I think that the deputy commander of the company is a falling flower and is deliberately ruthless, and Zhu Ling already has someone in her heart." ”
Bai Yanran could naturally see it, but said, "What do you say all day long, girl's family." I think it's time to marry you off, and I'll do it when the prince comes back. ”
Su Xin was blushed instead, but he didn't refuse as before, thinking that the ancient recipe was urging him to do so.
When they got closer, Lian Yue also saw people, and walked a few steps closer and said: "My subordinates have seen the princess, and the prince asked the princess to send a letter back, and asked the princess to take a look." ”
Bai Yanran was overjoyed in her heart, her lips unconsciously smiled, she took the letter and did not open it directly, pinched it in her hand and waited for everyone to go down when she entered the house, Su Xin and Zhu Ling pursed their lips and went out with a smile.
When everyone was gone, she opened the letter and read it, and the first line of the letter made her blush.
Love his wife and son, see the words as faces.
Bai Yanran's fingertips rubbed on that line of words, as if she was feeling the breath left by that person. After that, the letter became serious, saying where he was busy with official business now, and what he had seen and heard in the local area.
Then the conversation changed, and he became serious again, saying that he couldn't swallow because he was sick with longing. I can't sleep at night, I can't sleep and eat comfortably, and I'll be haggard when I go back.
Bai Yanran didn't know what she thought, and her face turned red suddenly, glad that she had the foresight to call a few girls out.
On the one hand, he is annoyed that he usually speaks freely in private, and how can he write like this on the letter. But while I couldn't help but read the thin two-page paper again, I felt inexplicably anxious for most of the day.
Bai Yanran thought about it for a while, and also wrote a reply, saying some trivial matters in the house in recent days, and also talking about the Hundred Flowers Banquet the day after tomorrow, but did not mention the matter of the queen's mother sending the two aunts there, and finally told him to be careful.
At the end of the letter, Bai Yanran hesitated. Thinking that Ji Lingyun might also be looking forward to his reply, he couldn't bear to disappoint him, so he finally added a sentence at the end with a red face, "My heart is like Qing, I look forward to returning." ”
Lian Yue had already expected to wait in the courtyard, and after taking Bai Yanran's letter, he went directly to the post station to ask someone to deliver the letter, knowing that the prince would definitely wait, but he didn't dare to delay for a moment.
Bai Yanran saw that Zhu Ling was the only one left at the door, and asked casually, "What about Su Xin?" ”
Zhu Ling covered her lips and smiled: "The commander of the ancient party also brought a letter, and she doesn't know where to hide it at this moment." ”
Bai Yanran was also embarrassed, but she remembered something again, and asked in a casual tone: "I saw that you and Lian Yue were talking to each other, but they have always intersected on weekdays?" ”
Zhu Ling quickly reacted to Bai Yanran's meaning and replied: "It's not familiar, but I can say two words when I do things in a house." ”
Bai Yanran understood, and simply said directly: "Lian Yue is a good person, I see that he is obsessed with you, what do you mean in your heart?" ”
Zhu Ling also replied happily: "The slave and maid thank the princess for her care, but the slave and maid have no other thoughts about him. It's just that now he hasn't made it clear, and the slave and maid are not easy to say, so he must understand it after a long time. ”
This kind of thing is not easy to force, Bai Yanran had to give up. It's just that Xu Quan is the right-hand man of the prince's side, and the prince will be a close minister of the Son of Heaven when he ascends the throne in the future, and his status will rise.
Don't say that Zhu Ling's relationship with the Tong family is just that the girls around her are far from it, and I am afraid that she will be sad in the future. It's just that everyone has their own fate, and although she is kind, she can't interfere too much.
Tong Ruoyao was proud, but she also settled down for a few days. Qin Ruhua also knocked on the side, and the palace was calm until the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
Everyone got up early and was in good spirits. Su Xin and Zhu Ling tried their best, and the golden hairpin and hosta were put on Bai Yanran's head as if they didn't want money, almost making her top-heavy and unstable.
Bai Yanran took off the extra headdress by herself, and said helplessly: "It's just that Su Xin is not sensible, why are you messing around with her, Zhu Ling?" I'm going to a palace banquet, not to sell jewelry. ”
Zhu Ling knew that she was wrong, so she didn't speak, and said plainly: "I heard that the queen's mother rewarded Aunt Tong with that set of faces, Miss, you are Princess An, you can't let her compare with a concubine, let people see a joke." ”
Bai Yanran knew the thoughts of the two girls, so she had to say: "Thinking too highly of yourself is a joke, no matter how luxurious the jewelry is, it is just a piece of jewelry, and the identity is there." ”
The two girls gave up and cleaned up for her in a proper manner.
When Bai Yanran cleaned up, she saw that Qin Ruhua was already waiting in the courtyard. Half of the head on her body was rewarded by the queen, and half was sent over by Bai Yanran, which is also appropriate.
Seeing that Qin Ruhua was alone, Bai Yanran thought that she would have to wait for Tong Ruoyao any longer.
But I heard Xiaoba say that Tong Ruoyao just let people pass the word, saying that Concubine Shu missed her sister and wanted to take someone over to talk earlier, so she sent a carriage to wait for her early morning, and she was already gone at this time.
Such an unruly act is really transgression. Qin Ruhua looked at Bai Yanran's face, but saw her helpless, and said, "Since this is the case, then let's go, the carriage can be more spacious." ”
Mother Guan was a little disappreciative of Bai Yanran in her heart, but she didn't show it, helped Qin Ruhua into the carriage, and the group went to the palace.
