Chapter 20: Invitation

The arrow galloped past, and the arrow that was supposed to hit the bull's-eye shot towards Bai Shuqin's head impartially. Zhao Linlang let out a cold sweat and hurriedly shouted for her to dodge.

Zhuo Jinxuan, who was in the distance, heard the call and looked at them, the scene in front of him surprised him, and without saying a word to Zhuo Linfeng, he got up and rushed towards the shooting range.

Bai Shuqin didn't move a step when she heard the voice, and the arrow was about to hit her, but she didn't blink her eyes, and directly held the arrow firmly and threw it aside.

The people around him breathed a sigh of relief, Zhuo Jinxuan rushed to her side, pinched her shoulder, and yelled at her angrily: "Do you want to die? ”

Bai Shuqin glanced at him lightly and said, "Don't worry about it!" ”

Zhuo Jinxuan's forehead protruded, and at this moment he wanted to crush her. She frowned because of the pain in her shoulder: "This is the Second Prince's Mansion, you pay attention." ”

He let go of his hands that were pinching her shoulders, pushed her back in resentment, and left without looking back.

Zhao Linlang was frightened and looked at Zhuo Linfeng at a loss. He ordered someone to help her aside to rest, and then walked to Bai Shuqin's side, and was relieved to see that she was not injured.

"Second brother, don't worry, I have my own way of doing things. I'm sorry I just frightened the princess. Bai Shuqin said apologetically.

Zhuo Linfeng smiled, and didn't mean to blame her, but spoke for Zhuo Jinxuan: "The third brother is also worried that you will be injured, and I ask my younger brother and sister to bear with me if I am excited." ”

Bai Shuqin is proficient in human nature, so he naturally knows why Zhuo Jinxuan was angry just now, but she really doesn't like his temper.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhuo Linfeng said again: "That's all for today's archery practice." It's not too early, so let's go back to dinner. ”

Zhuo Jinxuan was angry with her and went back early, and during the meal, Zhao Linlang blamed herself, if she hadn't pulled Bai Shuqin to guide her archery, Zhuo Jinxuan would not have been so angry because of this.

Bai Shuqin didn't seem to be affected, eating elegantly, and told Zhao Linlang that he had to ignore everything in the outside world, and only had the target he wanted to aim at in his heart, so that he could shoot. If you think too much, not only will it not be useful, but it will affect your performance.

Zhao Linlang is a princess after all, she has never been frightened like this, and she still did not come to her senses after the meal. Zhuo Linfeng saw that she looked bad, and asked her to send her back to have a good rest.

She left, and Bai Shuqin had no reason to stay, so she got up and said goodbye. Zhuo Linfeng heard that Bai Shu Qinqin had good skills and wanted to keep her to discuss. She didn't want to go back to face Zhuo Jinxuan so quickly, so she agreed.

Zhuo Linfeng has a room in the backyard dedicated to piano practice, which is a forest hut made of bamboo. The sandalwood in the incense burner on the desk in the room burned slowly, and in addition to the piano, there was also an unfinished chess game in the room.

Bai Shuqin was attracted by the chess game, and Zhuo Linfeng explained: "Playing alone when you have nothing to do makes your younger brothers and sisters smile." ”

She shook her head and carefully observed the situation, the game looked dead at first glance, but there was actually room for slow turn. She sat down and invited him, "Can you come with me?" ”

He didn't look like she was joking, but the chess game was dead, he didn't think he could continue, and wanted to close the chess game and start again, but was stopped by Bai Shuqin.

During this time, coastal bandits were rampant, and in the past, pirates only operated on a single ship, but recently they have gained a considerable scale. The people in the coastal area were miserable, and the early dynasty discussed this matter for nearly two hours.

General Feihe, under the Great Prince, took the initiative to ask Ying to go and take down the pirates in one fell swoop. The emperor appreciated the courage of General Feihe and ordered him to lead 3,000 troops to encircle and suppress.

Everyone knows in their hearts that although pirates are rampant, they are reckless after all. However, if you really win it, you can make a meritorious contribution in front of the emperor, which is of great significance at this time.

After the end of the early dynasty, Bai Shaoan had a lot of opinions on General Feihe's invitation, and wanted to ask the emperor for his order and let General Zhao Fei go with him.

Zhuo Jinxuan didn't pay attention to this matter, the pirates have developed rapidly in a short period of time, and there must be someone behind them, and the mastermind is likely to be Yingguo. He was not optimistic that General Feihe would be able to take them down, and after he was defeated, this was the best time to strike.

Bai Shaoan couldn't help but praise his strategy, he was the most emperor among the three princes, and he would not stand in the wrong direction.

Zhuo Jinxuan doesn't seem to be interested in Bai Bingbin recently, and Bai Shaoan, who is also a man, knows his change very well. Although Bai Shuqin is also his daughter, if it weren't for her with his blood flowing in her body, according to these things she did, he would have secretly eliminated her a long time ago.

Seeing that he was about to leave the palace, Bai Shaoan called out to him: "Third prince, you have been busy with affairs recently, don't be tired, I think it is better to let Bing Bin take care of you by your side." ”

Zhuo Jinxuan knew that he had snubbed her these days, but at the moment he had a good relationship with Bai Shuqin, and he didn't want Bai Bingbin to come over to add hemp rice. He frowned: "I'm afraid it's not too convenient." ”

Bai Shao'an had already expected him to say this, and said in a low voice: "It's called Bing Bing missing Bai Shuqin and visiting relatives in the past." It can take care of you without leaking the news. ”

How could Zhuo Jinxuan not understand what he meant, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while, so he let him go.

The hottest part of summer has passed, and although the morning is cooler, it is still very hot at noon. Bai Shuqin fanned his fan and sat in the courtyard bored.

After coming out of the underground palace last time, Nangong Che didn't look for her for a long time, and the medicine she was given was also two months, so I don't know what he was thinking. Is it that she is not satisfied with her performance and is ready to abandon it?

When Zhuo Jinxuan came back, he saw Bai Shuqin sitting there in a trance, and the fan in his hand was not matched. He walked over and put the ice powder he bought outside in front of her: "What do you want?" Didn't even notice when I came back? ”

It's not that Bai Shuqin didn't find out that he came back, but he just had something in his heart. Listening to his inquiry, he shook his head, picked up the spoon in front of him and took a bite of ice powder. The coolness in her throat made her forget about those things for a while.

"Today your father told me that Penang wants to come and visit his relatives recently." Zhuo Jinxuan observed her expression as he spoke.

"What do you say to me? Did I say I didn't want her to come, so you wouldn't let her come? Bai Shuqin knew that this must be the Bai family's idea, and Zhuo Jinxuan would not be stupid enough to put her with Bai Bingbin.

Seeing that she was really unhappy, he sighed: "It was your father who proposed it, and it's hard to refuse." ”

Bai Shuqin squinted his eyes and laughed, he looked at her with a puzzled face, she leaned out in front of him: "You just breathed this breath, don't you want Bai Bingbin to come over and disturb us?" ”

These days, he has long been accustomed to the way she teases him, and reached out and pinched her cheek: "You are so smart, you don't need me to say more." I'll send her back in a few days, so don't make it too difficult for her. ”

Bai Shuqin snorted dissatisfiedly: "She is the eldest lady who is favored by thousands of people, how can I make her difficult." If you tell her not to trouble me, I'll be thankful! ”

"She has the favor of ten thousand people, but you have me." He looked at her dotingly, he swore that he would never let anyone bully her again, and her strong appearance made his heart ache.

I don't know if it's influenced by her, she feels that Zhuo Jinxuan is becoming more and more shameless when he talks about love. Even though in ancient times, three wives and four concubines were allowed, and the prince could have a group of wives and concubines, but it was too frivolous to want to include her in the harem so soon.

She still recognizes modern monogamy in her heart, and if he wants to have a group of wives and concubines, she will definitely change him without hesitation. But after she made the group of people in Baifu recover, it is not certain whether she stays here or not. The appearance of that necklace gave her hope of going back.

Because Zhuo Jinxuan greeted her in advance, she did not overreact to Bai Bingbin's appearance here. Now that she is also the third princess, someone comes to be a guest, so she naturally has to arrange it.

Bai Shuqin knew that the purpose of her coming at this time was just to get closer to Zhuo Jinxuan, so she didn't want to fulfill her wish and arrange her room in the farthest place from him.

Bai Bingbin saw that she was deliberate, but now that she was under the fence, she could only accept it with a smile.

Bai Shuqin was not stingy, and asked Steward Li to arrange four maids for her, and when she left, she didn't forget to say to her: "This is not Bai Mansion, which can make you lose your temper." If you dare to be unkind to them, don't blame me for kicking you out! ”

Bai Bingbin smiled slightly: "Sister, don't worry, my sister won't act like you, without measure." ”

Bai Shuqin looked at her with a sneer: "That's the best!" ”

Leaving Bai Bingbin's courtyard, Du Zijun breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Bai Shuqin would embarrass Bai Bingbing and even kick her out. Although even if she did that, he was on her side, but he was afraid that Zhuo Jinxuan would embarrass her at that time.

Bai Shuqin saw his relieved appearance and felt funny: "What? Do you think I'm going to fight her? ”

Seeing her thoughts, he hurriedly smiled: "How come? Our imperial princess can hold the boat in her belly, and she has a lot of energy! ”

She knocked on him, this kid has been good at sycophants recently, and I don't know who he learned it from. If she really fights with her, with her ability to sell white betel and pills miserably, she may not be able to take advantage of anything.

Zhuo Jinxuan went out in the morning, and he couldn't wait to go home as soon as the matter was over, and he was relieved to listen to Qingluan's report on today's situation.

After coming back, he did not go to see Bai Bingbin for the first time, but came to Bai Shuqin's courtyard.

Bai Shuqin was wearing a tender cyan skirt, and was sitting on a stone chair under the locust tree reading a book at the moment. The sun shines through the leaves on her body, and her skin shines with a luster under the sun, and everything is quiet and beautiful like a painting.

Hearing the footsteps, she raised her head slightly: "Is it your beloved Bing Bin who told you that I treat her meanly, and you are going to come to trouble me?" ”

The vinegar smell he heard from her tone made him raise the corners of his mouth and came to her: "I came to you just after returning home, and I haven't seen her yet." ”

She looked at him suspiciously, the person she was thinking about had finally come, and he couldn't help but go to her.

Zhuo Jinxuan touched her head: "Princess Linlang is going back to China tomorrow, have you heard?" ”

Bai Shuqin counted the next day, and he was indeed leaving tomorrow. Recently, the two have been getting along, and the two are friends, and she wants to go over to see her off.

Even if she didn't say it, he could guess her thoughts: "She is still at the second brother's residence, I have already asked Qingluan to prepare the carriage, let's go!" ”

Bai Shuqin glanced at him gratefully, he didn't know why he seemed to understand her very well recently, and he could know a lot of things without saying anything.

Bai Shuqin got down from the carriage, and Fu Bo greeted her, seeing her puzzled expression, Fu Bo explained to her that Zhuo Jinxuan had greeted Zhuo Linfeng in the morning. After Zhuo Linfeng came back, he arranged for him to wait at the door.

Fu Bo took her to Zhao Linlang's residence, the room had been cleaned up, and the room seemed empty. Zhao Linlang sat on the bed with a sad expression, which formed a strong contrast with her usual energetic appearance. Bai Shuqin came in, she quickly stood up and smiled: "Are you here to see me off?" ”

Parting always makes people feel sad, but this is not her destination for the time being, and sooner or later she will have to leave. Bai Shuqin gave her the gifts he had prepared: "In our place, friends have to give gifts to each other. ”
