Chapter 248: Being pitted
Bai Ying was awakened by a nightmare again.
She sat up in shock, a corner of the quilt hanging from the edge of the bed, she hugged her knees and gasped, her soft and silky hair scattered behind her back, a little messy.
She dreamed again that the men had restrained her hands and feet, broken her mouth, and poured black and bitter poison into her mouth.
She couldn't do anything.
Man is a sword, I am a fish.
It was getting bright outside, and Bai Ying touched his back, and his light clothes were a little sticky because of some sweat. She asked for some water, wiped it clean and changed it again.
When I went to Qin's house, it was still early, and Bai Ying went to Shoukang Palace first to greet the Queen Mother.
In recent days, she has made up all the news in the six months of her absence, and found that the Queen Mother has been good and bad to Fu Nanqi. Some time ago, the Queen Mother was ill, and it was Concubine Zhao who worked tirelessly to personally serve her, and when the Queen Mother was well, she praised Concubine Zhao in front of the emperor and queen that she was "really an example of the harem", and made Queen Li angry for several days.
Since then, the Queen Mother has become cold to Fu Nanqi.
Although I wasn't enthusiastic before, I still cared for a few words occasionally.
Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad, and when it's good, Bai Ying guesses that it may be the power of the noble people.
She did not leak, and it didn't look like she was talking for Fu Nanqi at all, but more like secretly competing with Concubine Zhao.
The queen mother needs to balance the harem, but the concubine is really not angry, even if she can't conceive a child, she always nests in her palace and doesn't come out, even the emperor can't help but say to the queen mother that she is too boring to even say a word.
The Queen Mother can only "reuse" the nobles.
When the queen mother saw Bai Ying, she said that she had lost a lot of weight, and praised the soothing incense she sent last time.
Bai Ying pursed her lips and smiled, and after losing weight, her chin was sharpened more and more, and her eyes were as bright as black grapes.
She said, "Then go back and go to find His Royal Highness King Qi." ”
The queen mother's smile did not change, but the concubines such as Concubine Zhao had different expressions.
The Queen Mother asked kindly, "Why did you suddenly mention King Qi?" What do you want him to do? ”
Bai Ying said seriously: "His Royal Highness King Qi is deeply blessed, and Ah Ying wants to go to him to rub his good fortune." ”
Yu Guiren smiled: "I didn't expect the white girl to be so superstitious, how can you trust this kind of thing?" ”
"The blessing is profound, ......," the Queen Mother said in a very light tone.
Bai Ying looked puzzled and said: "How can it be superstition?" ”
Concubine Zhao smiled softly: "Ah Ying, this life is ...... Can it go wrong? ”
"Generally speaking, no, if the villain is the one who does it, then it is not necessarily." Bai Ying grinned and said, "Just like the emperor, the life of the true dragon emperor, this kind of evil is difficult to invade, even if you meet a villain, you will be blessed by God." ”
The Queen Mother loves to hear this.
She smiled: "What Ah Ying said is very true. ”
Concubine Zhao smiled, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and did not speak again.
The highest level of sycophancy is to make people feel that this is not sycophancy, but the truth from the heart.
As long as it is on the surface, even if the wind blows, it can't hide it from the emperor. The emperor, who was still handling government affairs in the Chenji Palace, heard about the affairs of Shoukang Palace, and laughed out loud in front of several ministers, and several ministers looked at each other in confusion.
Then some rewards were sent to Jingyu Palace, thanks to Bai Ying's blessing, only Huo Lan, who was famous for his achievements, because of the sentence "True Dragon Son of Heaven", it was easy to enter the eyes of the emperor.
The emperor thought to himself that Concubine Jing taught Bai Ying so well, and the Huo family should not be bad. Huo Cen Huo Shi doesn't need to say much, young talents are one of the few talents in his Dayu.
It's Huo Lan, although the emperor doesn't know much about him, but he has also heard of his young and frivolous deeds, in the past, he was afraid that this son would be spoiled, his eyes were on the top of his head, and he was arrogant, but now that he thinks about it, it is also a true temperament.
The heart of the emperor is difficult to guess.
This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
Here, Bai Ying had already left the palace and went straight to Qin's house.
Ding He drove, and Ding Yuan accompanied him in the carriage.
She recently learned a massage technique from the people of the National Teacher Tower, and when she saw that Bai Ying's eyes were blue and black, she thought that she hadn't slept well, so she let Bai Ying lie on her lap, and she rubbed her temples.
I don't know if it's because the journey is too long, or if Ding Yuan's massage is too comfortable, and after a while, Bai Ying let out a shallow breath.
Ding Yuan glanced at the incense burning in the carriage, and his subordinates did not stop.
It wasn't until the carriage outside gradually stopped that she heard Ding He's "huh-" and pulled the reins, and then gently pushed Bai Ying, "Girl, it's here." ”
"Sister Ayuan, are your legs sore, and your hands tired?" Bai Ying softened her soft eyes, sat up and knocked Ding Yuan's leg.
Ding Yuan couldn't stop her, so he had to bow his head and say embarrassedly: "Girl, I'm fine, let's go down." ”
Bai Ying shook his head to sober himself up.
Seeing this, Ding Yuan straightened her wrinkled clothes and re-combed her hair before helping her get out of the carriage.
Qin Hua has been waiting in her yard for a long time, and as soon as it dawned today, she got up to wash and clean up the boudoir, and the maidservants couldn't stop her from doing it herself.
Although she didn't sleep for a few hours, Qin Hua was very energetic, she was extremely looking forward to Bai Ying's arrival, this time it was in her courtyard to meet, Qin Dai and Qin Mei were going to go to the Song family's sister's banquet later, so there were only two people, her and Ah Ying!
When Bai Ying was brought in by his subordinates, he saw Qin Hua's eyes shining, his little face crimson, and he was walking around with a lot of poetry books in his hands, and he was still muttering something in his mouth.
"I don't know if Ah Ying will like these ......"
"Draw sister." Bai Ying shouted and approached, "What do you like?" ”
Hearing Bai Ying's voice, Qin Hua turned her head, the expression of joy on her face disappeared inch by inch when she saw Bai Ying's pale face, she was incredulous, and lost her voice: "Ah Ying! ”
Bai Ying: "I heard it, don't shout so loudly." ”
She naturally took out the poetry books from Qin Hua's hand, flipped through them, and found that there were still a few poems by Tao Yuanming in them, and couldn't help but think to herself that this wouldn't be a parallel world, right?
Bai Ying pointed to the book and said with a smile: "It's all good poems, but I like this one the most...... The road is narrow and the grass and trees are long, and the evening dew touches my clothes; It is not a pity to stain the clothes, but the wish is not violated. ”
Qin Hua didn't pick up her favorite topic for the first time, she looked at Bai Ying distressedly, a pair of deer eyes were full of tears, sniffed, holding back her tears: "Ah Ying, you have suffered......"
It's this kind of look again, it's this kind of talk again...... She took Qin Hua's hand and comforted her, "It doesn't matter, it's all right." People will be emaciated when they are sick, and after a while I will be able to return to the way I used to be, oops, don't cry, don't cry......"
Qin Hua choked up while shedding tears: "I don't want to cry either......"
"......" Bai Ying couldn't help laughing, she took a handkerchief to wipe Qin Hua's tears, "Quickly collect this string of pearls, people will see it and think I have bullied you." ”
Qin Hua's eyes were red, she didn't know that Qin Dai had told Bai Ying about the Huainan prince in Biluoxuan half a year ago, she hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "No, otherwise today...... It's better not to go to see the fourth aunt. ”
Sure enough, Qin Lao Taijun and Qin Hua said.
Since knowing about the prince of Huainan, Bai Ying has a strange feeling about Princess Huainan, who has never met, a little sympathy, a little distress, and a little disapproval.
She and Qin Dai had the same thoughts, and felt that since she had lost one child, she should treat the other child well.
After all, what happened back then was not what the prince of Huainan wanted.
Even if he hated Huainan Shizi at the beginning, he shouldn't have taken his sister out, as time goes by, he should come out of his grief and pain and grasp the present.
Hearing Qin Hua say this, Bai Ying shook her head, she really wanted to see Princess Huainan now, "It's okay, as long as it...... If only the princess wasn't scared by me. ”
Bai Ying is still self-aware, and she is really not very likable when she is emaciated like this.
Qin Hua said: "Ah Ying, don't worry, the fourth aunt ...... It's about the same as you, and I won't be scared by you. ”
Bai Ying tried to ignore the strange feeling in her heart, she followed Qin Hua to greet Old Taijun Qin, and experienced the baptism of surprise and pity again, and the two walked out of the door of the Qin family side by side.
Bai Ying originally wanted to take her own carriage, but Qin Hua was too enthusiastic and refused to part with her, so Bai Ying had no choice but to join her.
In this case, Ding Yuan and Ding He will not be able to follow.
"Ah Ying will go with me, and you will wait in the house. Don't worry, I will take good care of your girls! After speaking, Qin Hua asked the housekeeper of the West Courtyard, that is, the Wu'an Hou Mansion, to invite the brother and sister in for tea.
Ding Yuan wanted to say something, but Qin Hua hurriedly said, "We'll be back soon." ”
Qin Hua doesn't stay long every time he goes to Huainan Palace, Princess Huainan is not in good health and is not in good spirits, even if he talks to her, he can't talk for long.
Ding Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Qin Hua let go, the curtains on the carriage hung down, cutting off the view from the outside.
It was also a long way to go to Huainan Palace, and Qin Hua took out a collection of poems with great interest to discuss with Bai Ying.
Bai Ying said: "Sister painting doesn't have to be so polite. Ding and they followed, and then I could go back directly in the carriage, so I didn't have to bother painting my sister. ”
"You call me to paint, that's what my grandmother called me." Qin Hua said, "When we come out of the Huainan Palace, we will go to the Song family to play, and say that it is not troublesome." ”
Bai Ying: "??? ”
She hesitated: "Coming out of the Huainan Palace, aren't we going back to the Qin family?" ”
"Ahh Qin Hua's face suddenly realized, she smiled sweetly at Bai Ying, the deer's eyes were crooked, hiding a little cunning, "Ah Ying, can you accompany me to the Song family's sister's poetry banquet?" ”
"......" was caught off guard and jumped into the pit.
Sure enough, the girls of the Qin family, how can they be stupid and sweet.
Bai Ying's inner villain bit the veil with tears, and smiled helplessly on his face, "Okay." ”
Sister Ayuan, I'm sorry for you.
Although the ice cubes were put in, the carriage was still a little stuffy, Qin Hua was not too hot, sat down with Bai Ying and hugged her arm, and said: "Ah Ying, don't be angry, if it takes too long, Uncle Qin will let them go back to the National Division Tower first." ”
"......" she knew that it was premeditated!
Bai Ying snorted, "There's no next time." ”
Qin Hua cheered and blushed shyly: "I promise that there will be no next time." ”
She thought, it's not those people yet, she doesn't believe that Ah Ying is brilliant and transparent, otherwise she wouldn't think about cutting and playing before bringing Ah Ying over to prove everything.
Bai Ying didn't know that what he jumped into was a huge pit.
The lesson of blood, no one should be disgraced.
