Chapter 642: Is This Ugly Monster Really Me?
I heard that the envoys of the Suzaku Kingdom are leaving Beijing to go back.
Bai Jinli, who learned the news, somehow breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the envoys of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom did not have much to do with her, she always felt that they did not leave for a day, and she felt uncomfortable.
Now Feng Li and those people are finally leaving, it's good.
It's a pity that Bai Jinli didn't have time to be happy when she heard another news.
It is Feng Li and the envoys who are leaving, as the princess of the Vermilion Bird Country, Feng Qianhuang will not leave, she will stay in the Great Qi Kingdom forever in the future.
Because, at the banquet held by His Majesty to send off the envoys of the Suzaku Kingdom, the prince of the Great Qi Kingdom put forward a proposal in public to marry the princess of the Suzaku Kingdom, in order to show the friendship between the two countries.
In fact, this matter was also mentioned when the envoys of the Suzaku Kingdom first arrived, but it was rejected by the Great Qi State at that time.
But now, the person who took the initiative to marry the princess of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom was the crown prince of the Great Qi Kingdom, and he still used a very tough attitude to marry her to ask His Majesty.
In the end, His Majesty agreed and agreed to let the prince marry Feng Tianhuang as a side concubine.
So, the matter was finalized.
But no matter how you look at it, Bai Jinli always feels weird.
I haven't heard of this kind of relationship between the prince and the phoenix before? And judging from the identity of the crown prince, this matter should not be mentioned to His Majesty at this moment.
As a prince, he has attracted much attention, and he should have kept a low profile.
It's good for him, a while ago he was clamoring to marry the prime minister's concubine Shen Guan, and now he is openly proposing to marry the princess of the neighboring country, Feng Qianhuang.
Isn't he afraid that his actions will be too big, causing His Majesty's taboo and his brother's secret attack?
Or maybe what did the phoenix do to him?
That's it, I'm too lazy to think about it.
His Majesty had agreed to this, and it had been finalized, and what was the use of her as an insignificant person thinking about it.
On the day when the Suzaku envoys officially left Beijing, many bored people ran over to watch the excitement.
Bai Jinli sat in the house and looked at the illustrated version of Journey to the West from Yi Shushu that Qi Duo sent her, and after reading it, she was quite satisfied.
I have to say that Yi Shu is really a very talented painter, and his paintings are really aura, so it's no wonder that he was recommended by Shen Guan.
The characters in the painting are well structured, in line with the depiction in the book, each with its own characteristics, it looks very vivid, and it is also very interesting to read.
Compared with the modern version of the comics, there is more of an ancient flavor, but there are only fewer details of the connection and intersperse.
"What about others?" Bai Jinli closed the finished sketch and asked the fragrant tea beside her.
"At this moment, you should be reading at your own home, Journey to the West."
"Well, you go find the fire and ask him to bring Yi Shu over."
"Yes." Xiang Ming went to find the fire and commanded.
It was during this kung fu period that Mama Song in Bai Jinli's yard appeared in front of her.
"Miss, the old slave has something I want to tell you."
"Mama Song, but it's okay to say it."
"Miss, through the observation of the old slave in the past few days, I found that most of the maids in your yard are good, and that Xiuhe looks like a bad one."
"Oh?" Bai Jinli looked at Mama Song.
Mama Song has not been in her yard for a few days, and she has already used her strength to make the maids in the entire yard obey her.
"That girl always likes to be lazy when she works, and she pretends to be very diligent when someone is there."
"If you have something to do, you will go to the yard, and your eyes will be purring, and you will see that you are calculating something."
"And she has wandering eyes, she doesn't speak sincerely when chatting, and she always wants to find out the news from others."
"Yesterday, the old slave also saw her secretly closing the door and tossing in the house by herself, and then the old slave found an opportunity to investigate, and found this."
After speaking, Mama Song took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Bai Jinli.
Bai Jinli took it curiously and looked at it, it was a hairpin wrapped in a handkerchief, a pair of earrings, and a maid's waist card marked with the mark of the Marquis of Yong'an, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Mama is really powerful, she is worthy of being recommended to me by my husband."
"Miss, I'm afraid you already knew this reaction, and you ignored it on purpose like this?" Mama Song looked at Bai Jinli's chuckle and spoke.
"Well, she's still useful, so let's put it first."
"Miss atoned for her sins, it's an old slave who has a lot of trouble." Mama Song immediately lowered her head and began to admit her mistake.
"I'm grateful that Mama was able to find out about this and take the initiative to let me know. I believe that if my grandmother helps me take care of the yard, nothing will happen. ”
"Miss rest assured, the old slave should be wholeheartedly." Mama Song hurriedly answered.
At first, when she was invited to the yard by Lin Shenyuan, Mama Song was a little unhappy.
Anyway, she had also experienced so many years in the palace before retiring, even if she wanted to do things again, she had to find someone with a difficult background to do it.
The master of the White Mansion looked very young, and he lived a simple life, and it was not challenging to stay in this courtyard at all.
But after staying for a few days, Mama Song couldn't help but like it here.
When she stayed here, everyone respected her, and the atmosphere in this courtyard was very good, so you didn't have to worry about intrigue all day long.
Although the new master doesn't care about anything, he actually understands it like a mirror in his heart.
She treats her subordinates generously, focuses and steadfastness when she does things, and is very clear, and there is nothing too bad around her.
And it's transparent, easy to communicate.
She came to stay in this yard, it was really comfortable, and she really liked it here.
That's why she is so concerned about the things in the yard, for fear that the new master will be calculated.
"Well, there will be Mama Lao in the future."
"Miss, you really tortured the old slave, since the young lady said so, the old slave will put the things back."
"Okay."
Seeing Bai Jinli nodding, Mama Song quietly put back the thing she found that was completely inconsistent with Xiuhe's identity.
Not long after Mama Song left, a little girl outside ran in and asked to see her, saying that someone had sent her a letter at the door.
Bai Jinli opened it and looked at it, the letter was sent by Feng Li.
Only a few words were written on it, Bai Jinli, looking forward to our next meeting, this prince believes that it will not be too far.
After reading the letter, Bai Jinli closed the letter again, and then summoned Erhuo out with an expressionless face.
"Send this letter to my father-in-law."
"Yes, ma'am." Erhuo nodded respectfully, and then flew away.
Not long after this, Yi Shu was led by the fire to Baifu.
Seeing that Yi Shu was still unrefined and ragged, Bai Jinli opened his mouth with a disgusted face.
"Yi Shu Gongzi, can't you clean up when you go out? I know that you are a talented painter, and I don't know what kind of garbage pit I think you came from. ”
"Looking in the mirror by yourself, do you feel that you have no appetite for lunch at all?"
After speaking, Bai Jinli did not hide her disgust and handed over a mirror.
Yi Shu originally wanted to refute, but after taking the mirror, he subconsciously glanced at it, and was suddenly ugly by himself in the mirror.
"This ugly bastard is really my ?!!"
"Or else?" Bai Jinli snorted coldly.
This person is really interesting!
"Heh, I'm in a hurry to go out, I forgot, I'll pay attention next time."
It's no wonder that Bai Jinli complained about him, he was unkempt in the mirror, his clothes were ragged, and there were even a few black footprints on his clothes, which was really uncomfortable to look at.
After all, he was also a handsome boy before, why has he become such a ghost now.
To be honest, he looked quite disgusted.
"Come on, take him down to freshen up first, otherwise it will look weird."
"Yes, master."
Soon, a small servant in the house brought Yi Shu down.
During this period, Yi Shu also cooperated very well and didn't say anything at all.
When the little girl took Yi Shu down, he happened to run into Luo Ningmin, who came to Baifu to look for Bai Jinli.
Luo Ningmin came to find Bai Jinli this time because she found that her right arm had a feeling and could move.
So she was very excited, and immediately prepared a gift and came to Bai Jinli to tell her the news first.
As a result, as she walked, she saw a beggar in Baifu, and she couldn't help but stare at Yi Shu for a long time before speaking.
"Hey, who are you from Baifu?"
"I want you to take care of it, I don't know you well."
After Yi Shu learned from the mirror how depressed his image was, he kept his body tense, eager to wash up immediately and change back to his original appearance.
As a result, who knew that he would meet such a strange woman on the way, just stared at her for a long time, and took the initiative to talk to him? Does the tone still sound a little owed?
It's really uncomfortable.
At first glance, this woman is not serious.
You must know that as a real lady, how can you stare at a man for so long.
So he also expressed his dislike unabashedly.
"Let's go, don't keep your lady waiting too long."
Hearing Yi Shu say this, the little guy who led him nodded to Luo Ningmin as a greeting, and then really left with Yi Shu.
"Hey, hey! The people of this White Mansion are really strange, what kind of people are they! ”
Luo Ningmin muttered angrily, and then, under the comfort and reminder of the maid, she collected her emotions and walked towards Bai Jinli's courtyard.
After arriving, Luo Ningmin drove in with ease, and then saw Bai Jinli sitting in the courtyard holding a book and looking very free.
I have to say that Bai Jinli is indeed beautiful.
Just by looking at it like this, you will find that Bai Jinli sitting there has a quiet time, as beautiful as a picture of a beauty.
But the actual Bai Jinli, hehe......
"Hey, Bai Jinli, I'm here!"
