Chapter 668: The Sixteenth Prince
Because the emperor had to think about how to treat it, Bai Ling naturally couldn't leave the capital.
Bai Ling couldn't leave, so Princess Han and the others naturally didn't go to the outskirts of Beijing.
However, after experiencing the abduction, Bai Xing and Liu Wu were very well-behaved, and they didn't mention going shopping again.
"Second sister, the three-day period has arrived, and I have to go to the palace today." Bai Xing came to find Bai Ling, wearing a new style of skirt made by Bai Cao, and Bai Xing also deliberately painted light makeup, which made her look even more delicate and lovely.
"Xing'er is so beautiful today, if she didn't know that you went to see your life-saving benefactor, the second sister would have thought that you were going to meet your lover." Bai Ling said jokingly.
"Second sister!" Bai Xing stomped her feet and glared at Bai Ling with disgust, her face crimson.
"Okay, second sister won't trouble you. When I go out today, I can't let the girl leave anymore. The second sister lent you both Nian Xia and Jian Qiu, pay attention to safety. ”
Bai Ling took out a purse and a brocade box, and handed it to Bai Xing.
"Since the other party knows your identity, you can't be stingy. In the purse is a silver ticket, and there is a piece of medicinal jade in the brocade box, which is a thank you gift prepared by the second sister for you. ”
"Thank you, second sister." Bai Xing held it in her hand and felt heavy, she owed her sister too much.
But Bai Xing hasn't gone shopping since that sunset, so naturally she didn't buy a thank you gift.
And the things purchased that day, as well as his own personal belongings, Baicao was sent to the Han Palace, but they were all from his daughter's family.
Bai Xing originally thought that she would go out earlier today to prepare a gift, but Bai Ling thought of it first.
"You and my sister, you're welcome." Bai Ling patted the back of Bai Xing's hand, "Go quickly, come back early, the second sister is waiting for you to have dinner." ”
"Hmm." Chaoguan Yu blessed his body, and Bai Xing left.
Looking at Bai Xing's graceful back, Bai Ling sighed with emotion: "Shangguan, seeing that my younger brothers and sisters have grown up, I feel old. ”
"When we watch our children grow up, they will be really old." Holding Bai Ling's hand, Shangguan Yu chuckled: "However, even if my Ling'er is old, she is the best-looking old woman." ”
"My Shangguan is also the most handsome old man." Bai Ling smiled lightly, interlocked his fingers with Shangguan Yu, and imagined: "When we are all old, we will stop and go everywhere." Everywhere in the Eastern Han Dynasty, we have purchased industries, and we should also buy a share in other countries. In the future, if the children and grandchildren are not willing to inherit the Han Palace, let them go wherever they like. ”
"Then you have to rely on Ling'er to earn more silver, and your husband's private property will be used as a dowry, and the industry of the Han Wangfu will also supply the Zixiao Army, which is really poor." Shangguan Yu pretended to be pitiful.
"Don't worry, I'll be covered." Bai Ling patted his chest and swore solemnly.
The couple quarreled for a while, and Bai Ling went to see the catkins.
Because I was scared, in the Han Palace, I didn't have much fun in the past few days.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Wu did not go out of the house with Bai Xing today, and he was really afraid of experiencing that terrible experience again.
In the restaurant, Bai Xing and the scholar ordered a table of dishes, and the two of them obviously couldn't finish it.
But Bai Xing wants to thank the life-saving benefactor, so naturally she can't be stingy with the money for a table, but she feels guilty of wasting food, and her expression is inevitably entangled.
"What's wrong? But not to your liking? The scholar noticed Bai Xing's expression and asked.
"No, I'm not a picky eater." Bai Xing shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said to the scholar: "It's not that I'm stingy, but my family was poor when I was a child, and I knew the importance of food." So...... If you don't mind, can you give the rest of the meal to the beggars outside after we have eaten? ”
This is the usual practice of the Bai family, and when they go out, they will not be able to finish some dishes, so they will give them to beggars.
And the Bai family's restaurant will also heat the remaining wine and food for the beggars to fill their stomachs with the consent of the guests.
There are a lot of homeless people, and these leftovers may save people's lives.
"What should I be, if you have this kindness, I will naturally support it. Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold. The scholar smiled, probably the first time he had met such a woman, and his eyes were a little gentler.
After all, the two are not familiar with each other, so every time they talk, it is the topic that the scholar takes the initiative to find, and Bai Xing only opens his mouth to answer, and after a meal, there are many topics to talk about.
The scholar is very interested in the difference between Bai Xing and the ladies in the capital, and naturally can always lead Bai Xing to follow his thinking.
"Ah, look at my memory, I forgot to give you a thank you gift." After the food was packed, Bai Xing remembered the brocade box beside her, "This one was selected by me, it's just an ordinary jade pendant in the Treasure Pavilion, and I hope the son won't dislike it." This is a thank you gift prepared by my second sister for me, it is a jade pendant, please accept it with my son. ”
"It's not a lot of effort, it's not enough to worry about it, how can you let the girl be so expensive?" The scholar shirked, and really didn't think he should accept such a valuable thank you gift.
"If Childe doesn't accept it, it will make me feel uneasy, please don't excuse Childe." Bai Xingfu insisted on sending a thank you gift.
"That being the case, let it be accepted below. However, I think I am ashamed of it, unless the girl agrees to be in the next, three days later, I will do the east in the next, how about inviting the girl to swim in the lake? The scholar pondered for a moment and asked.
Bai Xing subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing the scholar's expectant eyes, she nodded unconsciously, and it was too late to regret it.
Both of them came with their subordinates to deliver food to the beggars, so naturally they did not need to do it themselves.
The scholar sent Bai Xing to the carriage, and always maintained a distance of three steps along the way.
will not be too close, and can protect Bai Xing's safety, such a gentleman's approach makes Bai Xing feel a little more good about him, and he has expectations for the meeting in three days.
"Be careful on the road, and in three days, I will wait for you in front of the restaurant." The scholar agreed on a place to meet again.
"Okay." Bai Xing bowed his head, and there was no doubt about this.
The two of them separated here, and Bai Ling also got the news on his side.
The secret guard returned home ahead of schedule and reported to the two who had saved Bai Xing.
"The Sixteenth Prince?" Bai Ling frowned, "Since he knows Xing'er's identity and invites Xing'er, he is not afraid that you know?" Or was he thinking about something else? ”
"Don't be cranky, everything needs to be verified, and I will make plans after I confirm his intentions." Holding Bai Ling's shoulder, Shangguan Yu reassured: "If he has ulterior motives, even if he can be the prince, I will make him pay the price!" ”
"I'm afraid that Xing'er will move her heart, but the sixteenth prince is ......" Bai Ling shook his head, "It may be a little late to think about this now." ”
Although Bai Xing was not imprisoned in the boudoir, there were not many people who might have come into contact with him, especially foreign men.
Therefore, Bai Ling was really afraid that Bai Xing would move his mind and deliver the wrong sincerity.
"You, you can't change your life of worrying about your family in this life." Pinching the tip of Bai Ling's nose, Shangguan Yu sighed lightly: "In a person's life, there will always be setbacks. Sometimes fate arrives and can't be stopped, even if it's a passing fate. Just like Bai Wei, she can only let her come out by herself, and no one can help. ”
"It's because of Bai Wei's example that I'm afraid." Bai Ling sighed lightly: "Xing'er has also grown up, and many things really need her to choose." As relatives, what we can do is to analyze for her, not make decisions. ”
Bai Ling was a little irritable.
Here is ancient times, a woman's view of marriage is completely different from Bai Ling's.
And what kind of man Bai Xing wants to marry still depends on her own heart, no one can influence it, and she should not interfere too much.
