"I have news of Umu, and I can give it to you, but in exchange, you must go to the palace for me tomorrow to attend the queen's birthday banquet."

Bai Jinyu turned his head, thinking that he had misheard.

"You heard it right," as if knowing what she thought, Su Lihua straightened her smooth and slender neck, and said word by word: "Just like that time, pretending to be me, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Fengchen's concubine, Su Lihua!" ”

Hearing the deliberately lengthened word "concubine", Bai Jinyu's heart sank.

Looking at Su Lihua, who was about to put her face on the ground, she leaned back and said easily: "Are you crazy?" We haven't seen each other for so many years, and you let me do such a big thing as soon as we met? ”

"Exactly," Su Lihua smiled: "Who said that apart from my sister, there is no second person who can do it for you!" The corners of her mouth were raised, but there was no smile in her bright eyes.

Bai Jinyu missed this gaze and took a long breath, "sister", which should have been affectionate and gentle, always had a chilling flavor when it came out of Su Lihua's mouth.

Bai Jinyu's heart was ridiculous, and said: "It used to be before, and now you and Fengchen have been husband and wife for seven years, can we change him or not?" Believe it or not, I'll twist my waist and say a word, and I'll be able to show you the stuffing right away! ”

Hearing this, Su Lihua paused for a moment, but said, "You just go, it's just a day, he won't notice." ”

*

On a rainy and sunny day, a carriage with golden vermilion paint slowly started in front of the Shangshu Mansion under the escort of the guards and drove in the direction of the palace.

Bai Jinyu sat in the car, uneasy.

The heavy hairpin on her head and the layers of brocade fabric on her body made her breathless, but she couldn't stand up, jumped out of the car, and swaggered away.

Su Lihua asked her to do errands, and she always held her seven inches.

Two months ago, the Qilutai of the Emperor of the Zheng Dynasty was completed, and Umu was ordered by the Great Khan of Duoyue to come to Chang'an to attend the inauguration ceremony. Unexpectedly, his whereabouts have not been known since then.

Duoyue Kingdom has searched in many ways, but there is no news of Umu. Seeing that things were making no progress, Wumu's bride washed her face with tears all day long, Bai Jinyu couldn't bear it anymore, and sneaked back to the Zheng Dynasty with a few people and came to Chang'an.

As soon as she entered Chang'an, she was kidnapped by unknown people, and it wasn't until she saw Su Lihua yesterday that she knew that she had not made any progress in the past few years, and she fell into the hands of Su Lihua again.

Even though he was once abused by others, he hadn't seen him for seven years, and at first sight, Bai Jinyu still wanted to catch up with this twin sister. It's just that Su Lihua doesn't have this mind at all, she just wants to assign her a task, a task that she wants to flip the table just by listening to it.

Of course, it is impossible to lift the table.

Su Lihua knows very well that now for the whereabouts of Wumu, let alone pretending to be someone to attend a palace banquet, even if she knows that it is a fire pit, Bai Jinyu will jump into it by herself!

With a bumpy bump, the carriage and horse seemed to enter a busy city, the fragrance of steamed buns and shortbread, the hawkers of street vendors, and the laughter of women and children gradually became clear.

High-rise buildings are lined up one after another, the flow of people is like weaving, the distant mountains are like screens, and the green grass is flooded with embankments.

Chang'an, the style is the same, and she is back here.

It's been seven years, if it weren't for Su Lihua mentioning this time limit yesterday, Bai Jinyu wouldn't feel that so many days have passed. Thinking about it, if it weren't for Cheng Wumu's love being taken in in Duoyue Country, she would probably be a pile of bones by now!

The palace should have taken a look, even if there was no Su Lihua's transaction, Bai Jinyu was already ready to inquire, after all, there was Qilutai there, which was the last place where Umu clearly appeared!

The carriage and horses turned a few corners, the hustle and bustle of the street was gradually thrown away, and the outside of the car became quieter and quieter, Bai Jinyu knew that this was by no means entering some no-man's land, but should be about to arrive at the palace.

"!"

This sound made Bai Jinyu tremble, and it took a while to accept that the voice was calling her. The woman who called her outside the car was Huang Gu, Su Lihua's most confidant old servant.

"The front is almost here, His Royal Highness King Jin is already in the palace this morning, he will come to greet you!"

"Oh, got it."

Bai Jinyu responded casually in the car and touched under the stool on the side. She remembered that the stool in the car had been transformed by her before, and it was lifted up to create an inner box, and she had a small mirror in it, which could be specially used to tidy up her appearance before getting out of the car.

Reach out and touch it, and things are within reach!

Bai Jinyu took out the object, looked back and forth, and it was really the small mirror he threw inside.

She couldn't help but be surprised: for more than seven years, the carriage of the Jin Palace's mansion still retains its old appearance, and no one has discovered this little secret?

Lifting the mirror in front of him, the mirror reflected a face exactly the same as Su Lihua's, a thin straight nose, bright apricot eyes, and Yingting's eyebrows were also deliberately trimmed into the shape of willow leaves today.

Looking at this face, Bai Jinyu had to admit that she and Su Lihua were definitely rare twins in the world who were extremely similar. They are almost the same except for their names, and even the voices they speak in are the same.

Maybe because she looks too much like Su Lihua, Bai Jinyu looked at herself in the mirror, and she actually felt a little disgusted in her heart.

The two heavy palace doors opened with a muffled sound, the coachman took the reins, and the car stopped and moved, as if he had finished checking the roster of entering the palace.

At this time, the car window was half-opened by Huang Gu from the outside, she carefully pointed to the distance, and said softly: "Niangniang, look, His Royal Highness King Jin is there!" ”

At this moment, the long causeway has long been longing, and the guests who come and go are all guests attending the banquet. Huang Gu pointed at random, if he was an ordinary person, he would not be able to be recognized from the crowd at all, but Feng Chen was not an ordinary person.

Bai Jinyu looked along Huang Gu's fingers, and saw a man with a golden hairpin and wide sleeves in a silver coat, standing quietly near the water on the sparkling Jinshui River. The river wind came and went, and his clothes belt was urged to flip and fly, outlining his handsome figure looming in the wind.

The scenery in the palace was originally rich and colorful, but this person changed this painting style to be high and handsome by himself. Whenever anyone passed in front of him, it was hard not to look at him.

Bai Jinyu suddenly remembered the sentence that Chang'an people are proud of: Sanqin is the first to be stunning, and it will never be a waste of fame.

On Feng Chen's side, there was a young figure, with broad shoulders and a thin back, standing tall and tall, like a sword that could be unsheathed at any time.

Bai Jinyu knew that it must be Xie Yao, but he didn't expect that in a few years, this child would grow as tall as Feng Chen.

The two of them stood side by side, as if they had formed an enchantment, cold and withdrawn, very different from the guests who were leading their wives and children to talk and laugh at this time.

Bai Jinyu couldn't help but wonder: Xie Yao is just like this, why is Fengchen like this now?

Ever since Bai Jinyu noticed him, he has been standing motionless. Although his figure is beautiful and graceful, it can be read from his posture that he is not looking forward to the arrival of his family.

The carriage walked along the cobblestone road to the Jinshui River, and Bai Jinyu, who was quite calm all the way, actually felt some palpitations for no reason.

She didn't have time to think about why her heart palpitated, she hurriedly breathed and calmed down, she knew that Su Lihua's task must be completed properly, otherwise she would definitely not cash in the bargaining chips of the transaction.

"Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Jin has picked you up!"

Before he could stop breathing, the curtain of the car was suddenly lifted, and Bai Jinyu subconsciously raised his head.

Immediately, everything was silent.

It's like a dark room suddenly cast into a thousand feet of light, and the world suddenly becomes white, everything seems to be hidden and isolated, leaving only the person in front of him to be the most brilliant and prominent.

Bai Jinyu stiffened, as if he had been nailed to the car. At this moment of meeting head-on, she suddenly understood why she had heart palpitations!

It was because she was afraid, she was afraid of seeing Fengchen again.

Like a thief, afraid to see his master.

Bai Jinyu froze in the car, stammering, completely unaware of how many breaths he needed to take to come over normally.

This time, she formed a stalemate with Feng Chen standing in front of the car, one was unwilling to step forward, the other was unwilling to stand up, and the other stood and sat as if it was a silent competition.

After a long time, Feng Chen felt abnormal, and his eyes finally swept towards her.

These two gazes were really cold and unfamiliar, and Bai Jinyu shivered all over his body. She couldn't believe that this was the look that Feng Chen, who was expensive but not cold, clear but not endless, and moved in his actions.

She lowered her eyes, some doubts flashed in her heart, and before she had time to think about it, she saw Fengchen slowly handing her a hand.

The hand in front of him is white and slender, with distinct joints, delicate and slippery, and at first sight you know that its owner is a pampered, elegant and noble person. But it was this hand, and it was this clear act of greeting, that Bai Jinyu couldn't help but shrink back.

"No, no, no." Bai Jinyu avoided it with humility, and moved outward almost against the wall of the car.

Feng Chen's eyes trembled imperceptibly, he raised his eyelids, and did not withdraw his hand, his clean and slender five fingers were still hanging towards her, as if he was insistent.

It would be inappropriate to refuse again, Bai Jinyu hesitated, shook his hand, and bowed out of the car.

Feng Chen's hand was very warm and powerful, holding this hand weakly, she went down the stairs decently, and after standing up, she withdrew her hand, but found that she couldn't pull it out.

"What's wrong?" Because of his weak heart, Bai Jinyu's first sentence did not dare to exceed three words.

Feng Chen didn't say a word, and his eyes gradually rose from Bai Jinyu's hand.

When these eyes came, Bai Jinyu only felt that the yin obstacles in her heart were going to be illuminated one by one, and when she looked at these clear and elegant eyes, she wanted to exert twelve points of calmness.

Bai Jinyu tightened her cheeks and traced Feng Chen's gaze to her hand worriedly.

There were two gray marks clearly printed on her hands, and she thought about it, it could only be the dust she had touched when she held the mirror just now.

Bai Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: "Oh, I didn't touch you, did I?" She took the opportunity to withdraw her hand.

Feng Chen let go of his hand, did not answer, and watched Bai Jinyu wipe his fingers clean.

"Alright." Bai Jinyu smiled dryly and showed him his hand.

Feng Chen's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and he turned around and left. His pace was very fast, and Xie Yao on the side was just stunned for a moment, and he was about to run before catching up.

Is this angry? Bai Jinyu couldn't believe it with his eyes pricked up. It's just a little dirty, is it so strict now?

Feng Chen walked forward, Xie Yao followed behind with a straight face, and Bai Jinyu led a group of servants to chase after him desperately, this strange family attracted the attention of people all the way.

It wasn't until they entered the inner garden that the ladies were led by the palace people and separated from the clan men, and this embarrassment ended.

The banquets in the palace have always been divided into men and women, and yesterday Su Lihua said that she had recently been living in her mother's Shangshu Mansion on the grounds of taking care of her mother's illness, so when the banquet was over, the carriage was also back to Shangshu Mansion.

Therefore, Bai Jinyu believes that in the next time, she and Fengchen should not have any more intersections.
