Chapter 18. The holy drive is coming
That night, Bai Jiyuan finally did not sleep in the same bed with the prince. Only spent the night on the couch in the outer room, but fortunately, Bai Jiyuan's body has not yet grown, and he can barely sleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Bai Jiyuan accompanied the prince to clean up the aftermath early, thinking that he could send this big Buddha out, and then he could also go to see if Bai Xianyu woke up. But I don't want the prince to say, since his identity has been broken, he naturally wants to visit the old lady and the old lady of the Bai family.
So, Bai Jiyuan was patient, and he was a companion. However, it was almost noon, and the prince still did not express any intention of leaving. On the contrary, he dragged Bai Jiyuan and played in the winding path of the lotus pond in early summer.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is just green leaves and buds, nothing to look at." Bai Jiyuan showed a look of disgust, hoping that he could dispel the prince's interest.
Unexpectedly, the crown prince Yang Zhaoming showed a look of "you don't know how to appreciate", took a few deep breaths, and spoke.
"It's good in early summer, you see this pond full of lotus, shy and timid, not ostentatious at all, and there is already a faint fragrance in the air, which is much more pleasing than in midsummer."
Bai Jiyuan tried his best to let himself appreciate it from the prince's point of view, but looking at the pointed lotus, he thought of the white pomelo with a pale face last night. I became more and more restless.
noticed that Bai Jiyuan's god was not keeping. The prince was puzzled: "Jiyuan, what's wrong with you?" What are you doing? ”
Bai Jiyuan was stunned for a moment, wanting to say that he was worried about his sister, but the words swirled in his throat and finally pressed down.
There is no definite number of how the white pomelo is, and the girl suddenly faints, and it is not good to hear it when it is passed out, even if it is just to leave the impression of weakness to others, I am afraid it will be extremely discrediting. As an elder brother, you can't take the initiative to pull back.
"I ...... I'm thinking, what to eat at noon. If the prince wants to use anything, I will ask someone to arrange it. ”
When the prince heard this, he did not doubt him. Last night's Bai Jiyuan, the sturdiness made him realize Bai Jiyuan's pursuit of food. Therefore, being in a daze, thinking about what you want to eat, and changing it to other sons of the family will make people feel incredible, but in Bai Jiyuan, it seems normal.
"Jiyuan, the palace won't share it with you for lunch."
When Bai Jiyuan heard this, he subconsciously asked.
"The prince is going back to the palace?"
The crown prince Yang Zhaoming shook his head and said, "I won't go back to the palace for the time being, lunch is still in the Bai family, but I can't be with you." ”
"Let's go, it's almost time, I'm tired and tired to take this palace to the meditation hall."
"Meditation Hall?" Bai Jiyuan repeated it stunned.
Jing Si Hall is the largest meeting hall in the entire Bai family, specially used to entertain guests of high status. Today it is said that there is a distinguished guest, and there is a banquet in the Jingsi Hall, but is that distinguished guest the prince? But didn't the prince bring it back last night?
When the prince saw Bai Jiyuan's stunned face, he thought he had misremembered.
Summoned the servants sent by the old lady and asked, "Could it be that I remember wrong, what Boss Bai just said is not Jing Si Tang?" ”
The attendant lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness has not been mistaken, the banquet is indeed set in the Jingsi Hall. ”
"In this way, Jiyuan, what are you still doing stupidly, lead the way."
Bai Jiyuan was suddenly taken aback, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, is that what my father said about your distinguished guest?" ”
The crown prince Yang Zhaoming, with peach blossom eyes, casually brushed up some scattered hair, and pretended to be serious: "What? Am I looking expensive enough? ”
"Hey...... Hey. Bai Jiyuan laughed dryly twice, and began to talk nonsense seriously.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the extravagance is compelling, and no one can stop him. It's just that I heard that Jing Si Tang is going to invite people to a banquet, and I'm worried that the other party is not expensive enough, so the prince will not make a face for others, and he can't draw it, but if it was the prince who was supposed to entertain you, then it would be said in the past. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let's go. ”
Bai Jiyuan said, then made a "please" gesture, and the group began to shift positions.
Halfway through, the prince seemed to think of something interesting as he walked, and suddenly looked sideways at Bai Ji beside him.
"Jiyuan, in fact, the noble person your father said is my father."
Bai Jiyuan suddenly realized, "I said earlier, it's the father of His Royal Highness the Prince, it's right to go and meet." ”
Suddenly, Bai Jiyuan stopped. It scared Yang Zhaoming so much that he followed.
Bai Jiyuan looked at Yang Zhaoming and stammered, "Your Highness...... His Royal Highness is the crown prince, so ...... His Highness's father, father...... Isn't it the emperor? ”
Yang Zhaoming had returned to normal, and did not answer Bai Jiyuan's stupid question, but just dragged Bai Jiyuan and signaled to move forward.
After more than a quarter of an hour, the group arrived at the meditation hall.
Uncle Bai Mingtang has taken people to wait in front of the hall. Seeing the arrival of the prince, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Your Highness, please rest in the hall first. His Majesty's car will not arrive in about three minutes, and the minister needs to go to the gate to greet him first, and His Highness can come later. ”
"How can it be, where is there a reason for the son to sit and rest, waiting for his father to come, this palace and Lord Bai will go together."
Uncle Bai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "So, Your Highness, please." ”
Bai Ji saw that his father and the crown prince were leaving, and he hesitated whether he should follow him to meet the holy driver.
He hesitated for a moment.
"Son, go back to your own place, and don't disturb the Holy Driver." When Uncle Bai saw his son's stupid appearance, he was angry.
This time, Emperor Jingde is only a micro-service, and he has already sent someone to inform him, don't make a big fanfare, and greet him in a big way. Therefore, the Bai family, and even the vast majority of people, only know that there is a distinguished guest, but they don't know who the distinguished guest is.
The crown prince Yang Zhaoming originally wanted to take Bai Jiyuan to take him along. Fortunately, he is familiar with his father and emperor, and the children of the family will enter the court sooner or later, and it is very advantageous to have a good impression in front of the authorities as early as possible. But when I heard Uncle Bai's words, I remembered that my friend I had just met was indeed a reckless person. I could only shake my head in my heart and silently press my thoughts.
So, everyone parted ways in front of the meditation hall.
Out of the confines of the Jing Si Hall, Bai Jiyuan suddenly felt at ease again, and even the air made him feel a lot more comfortable.
Bai Jiyuan originally wanted to go to find Jingwu first and ask carefully about the situation last night, but after thinking about it, Jingwu was very likely to be in Bai Xianyu, and if he wanted to know the situation of Bai Xianyu, it should be more direct to go directly to Bai Xianyu.
He hurried all the way to the backyard Zhining Courtyard.
As if it had reappeared last night, the reckless Bai Jiyuan once again broke directly into the door.
But in the room, except for Bai Xianyu, who was still lying on the bed, there was no one else, and Jing Wu was also not there.
