Bai Jin Yuzi lay in the bathtub for I don't know how long, and was woken up by a fierce knock on the door, only then did he realize that he had fallen asleep in the bath. The bathing water had cooled, and her body sank diagonally into the basin, her nose touching the surface of the water an inch, and if someone hadn't knocked on the door in time, she would have choked on the water pouring into her nose.

Bai Jinyu sat up, only to feel that his limbs were sore, and after shaking for a while, his mind became clearer, and he gradually heard that the person who knocked on the door was Wen Ruolan.

"Wait a minute, I'm here!" Bai Jinyu shuddered, got up from the cold bathtub, wiped her body with a dry cloth three times and five by two, and changed into the clothes that Wen Ruolan had prepared for her.

Dressed properly, Bai Jinyu opened a door, Wen Ruolan walked into the room in fright, stared at her face tightly and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Are you asleep? ”

Bai Jinyu's face was slightly tired, her hair had not been dried yet, and the water dripped down the jet-black hair, falling on the clean placket, and a small piece of dampness.

Bai Jinyu pressed his eyes with both hands: "Yes, I'm too tired...... The bath water was soaked too comfortably, and I fell asleep without paying attention. ”

"It's so hard for you!" Wen Ruolan sighed, pulled Bai Jinyu to sit down in front of the dresser, took a dry cloth from the side and stood behind her, helping her dry her hair.

In front of the half-human-high bronze mirror, the dim yellow candlelight cast a soft and shallow light on the bodies of the two.

Wen Ruolan gently picked the hair in front of Bai Jinyu behind her ears with her fingertips, used a wooden comb to comb her long hair over her waist, and carefully took a few hair accessories to curl her hair.

Waiting to be combed, Wen Ruolan leaned down, her chin almost leaned against Bai Jinyu's temple, and looked at her intently from the bronze mirror.

Bai Jinyu was not used to Wen Ruolan's gaze at first, but after a long time, she also got used to it. The memories of her youth have been blurred, and she rarely remembers such a warm moment with her mother, and she is a little greedy for this feeling for a while.

"Our Jinyu is also a pure and beautiful wonderful person! If you hadn't left back then, and grew up by my side like Lihua, you must have found a high-ranking official and dignitary to be a gentleman now! Wen Ruolan looked at Bai Jinyu in the mirror and sighed with a slight regret.

Bai Jinyu immediately said casually: "Why is it a high-ranking official and a noble, not a certain prince?" ”

Wen Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and when she was asked, she also realized that her words were biased.

Bai Jinyu looked at Wen Ruolan with innocent eyes, she thought for a while, and said, "Marrying the royal family?" It's so hard to become a lady like Lihua! Outstanding appearance, good manners, obviously full of poetry and books, good at all arts, full of talent, but to be modest and cautious, low and obedient, not to show the mountain dew. With your nature, it's impossible to do that. ”

Hearing this, Bai Jinyu was a little unconvinced at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Wen Ruolan was right, so he also dissipated this trace of anger.

At this time, several slaves and maids in the house brought some food to the house, Wen Ruolan put down the comb in her hand and greeted warmly: "Come, you must be hungry, I have prepared some food for you, hurry up and eat!" As she spoke, she grabbed Bai Jinyu's shoulders and asked her to get up.

Bai Jinyu snorted, and the tips of her eyebrows squeezed together. Coincidentally, the place where Wen Ruolan touched was where she was wounded by the sword.

Wen Ruolan hurriedly withdrew her hand: "What's wrong?" ”

Bai Jinyu covered his arm, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I accidentally received a sword in Cuizhu!" ”

Wen Ruolan was surprised: "You were discovered? ”

Bai Jinyu sighed softly: "Yes! ”

Wen Ruolan said worriedly: "That...... Will something happen? ”

Bai Jinyu was determined: "It's okay, my identity has not been revealed, and they don't know who the person who pirated the seal is." When I get back, I'll find an opportunity to put the seal back in its place. ”

"That's good," Wen Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief, and then grabbed Bai Jinyu's shoulder and said, "Let me see the injury!" ”

She rolled up Bai Jinyu's sleeve, and sure enough, she saw a dark red, two-inch-long scab line near the crook of her arm. Not far from this sword wound, there was also a reddish whiplash in the shape of an armband.

Wen Ruolan twitched her eyebrows and put down her sleeves: "You have suffered again, but fortunately, you have been injured this time and Lihua have been replaced, otherwise she will suffer again." ”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Wen Ruolan said this, Bai Jinyu felt that his heart was lightly stabbed, not so hard, but a little painful.

Wen Ruolan was completely unconscious, took Bai Jinyu to the dining table and sat down, rarely scooped a bowl of pork rib soup for her, and handed it to her eyes: "Drink and make up for it, these seven or eight days back and forth between Chang'an and Luzhou must have consumed a lot of physical strength." ”

Bai Jinyu served the soup, and his fingers touched the hot bowl wall, but he sneezed coldly.

Wen Ruolan hurriedly took a handkerchief and blew her face, and said with concern: "Alas, it must be cold in the bath, drink some hot soup to warm up!" ”

Bai Jinyu asked her to sit down disappreciatively: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not so squeamish, just sneezing." ”

Wen Ruolan said: "Alas, your kid is hard-mouthed, which is both painful and hateful. Tell me, I asked you to pretend to stay with King Jin at that time, and you too, you refused to live or die! ”

Bai Jinyu's action of drinking soup stopped.

Wen Ruolan said: "Me and your father...... Master Su and I can see that His Royal Highness the King of Jin has a good impression of you, and for us, you and Su Lihua are the same as the concubines of the King of Jin. If you stay with him, you won't have to be careful to hide from the world. Fortunately, Lihua, this kid is smart, and he doesn't leak anything in his words and deeds, and His Royal Highness King Jin didn't notice that he had been replaced. ”

When Wen Ruolan said the first half of the sentence, Bai Jinyu originally wanted to say, "I'll stay, what about Su Lihua?" But hearing the second half of the sentence, Bai Jinyu blurted out without thinking: "Since King Jin can't see it, of course let Lihua return to her original position!" Didn't you just say that everyone can be a girl like Su Lihua? Full of poetry and books, proficient in the six arts, well-behaved, low-key and obedient, how can I do it? I don't know if it's going to be revealed on which occasion...... Besides, I'm going back to Cuizhu! ”

Wen Ruolan was suddenly stunned by her, stunned for a while, then she squinted her eyes, took a good look at Bai Jinyu's unconsciously red face, and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, Jinyu, let me ask you, what are you stealing the Wen family's family seal for?" ”

For Wen Ruolan's question, Bai Jinyu showed an inexplicable and unbelievable expression, and she lowered her voice and said, "Why don't you know?" Because there is no imperial seal on His Majesty's edict on the throne, this matter is now spreading in the palace, and if there is a prince who wants to make trouble, His Majesty will be out of control. As long as there is the Wen family seal on the edict, the amount will be different. ”

Wen Ruolan listened, but her expression was even more confused, and she said after a long time: "Oh." ”
