After waiting for a long time, the shopkeeper took a bracelet made of purple crystal, and he handed the bracelet to her: "Although it is not something from southern Xinjiang, it is said that it was also worn by a high monk." ”

Bai Shuqin saw that the crystal on the bracelet was almost free of clutter, and it exuded a faint purple luster, knowing that it was definitely not cheap, and wanted to pay.

The shopkeeper stopped her and smiled kindly: "It won't cost much to collect it, so I'll give it to you!" ”

Bai Shuqin didn't pretend to be generous, thanked the shopkeeper, and went back.

After returning from the Treasure Pavilion, Bai Shuqin found all the information about Southern Xinjiang from Zhuo Jinxuan's study. However, southern Xinjiang is remote and does not communicate with the interior, except for the occasional sale of some things in exchange for some daily necessities, almost never come out.

It is not easy for outsiders to get in, there are swampy areas all around, and without acquaintances to lead the way, it is a dead end to enter. Due to the geographical location and the fact that they never take the initiative to find trouble, they have always been at peace with other countries.

Two hundred years ago, many countries were defeated and annexed in the world war, and only southern Xinjiang avoided this war. What kind of place is that? Maybe there's a way to get her back. It seems that if she wants to find the truth, she must go to southern Xinjiang.

Zhuo Jinxuan pushed open her door, and saw the sunset shining on Bai Shuqin's body through the window, and in a trance, he felt that her existence was so unreal, and her hazy expression seemed to disappear at any time.

Hearing the voice, Bai Shuqin closed the book, rubbed his eyes, and looked up to see Zhuo Jinxuan looking at her. Zhuo Jinxuan retracted his thoughts, walked to her side, looked at a pile of books on the table, picked up one and opened it: "Why are you interested in reading these books?" ”

She shook her head, "Nothing. In an instant, he thought that he might know something about the situation in southern Xinjiang, so he asked casually.

Zhuo Jinxuan really didn't know about the affairs of southern Xinjiang, because there was no threat, and there was no need to establish diplomatic relations, which was equivalent to non-existence for them.

However, a long time ago, there was a concubine in the palace who suddenly became nervous, and it was rumored that she had fallen for witchcraft. However, he died not long after, and no one asked about it anymore. He asked suspiciously: "Why are you interested in the affairs of southern Xinjiang?" ”

She didn't want to say it, and he didn't ask any questions, so he asked her as soon as the topic changed: "I heard that you spent 1,500 taels to buy a jade flute today?" ”

Bai Shuqin knew that Qingluan must have told him, but she spent her own money, and there was nothing to hide. Seeing her nodding, he smiled: "Just to be a guest, there is no need to spend so much money." ”

She remembered that he had asked her to prepare her own gifts, and when she heard him say as if she had spent his money, she raised her head: "My money, I am willing!" ”

She was right, but considering that she spent so much money to buy things for others, and even often gave gifts to others, she never gave him anything. He looked at her jealously: "What about me?" Have you prepared my gifts? ”

Bai Shuqin was not stupid, and naturally felt the sour smell in the air. After he reminded her, she remembered that she really never thought about giving him anything, and she felt that he didn't need anything.

She looked at him and seemed to be quite concerned about this matter, leaned forward, and whispered in his ear: "You already have me, isn't it enough?" ”

The corners of his mouth lifted and he smiled wickedly: "Tonight, I want you!" ”

The first rays of sunlight in the morning poured into the room through the window, and Qingluan took people to take toiletries and softly pushed open Bai Shuqin's door. The two people who hugged each other on the bed, except for the key parts covered with quilts, the other parts were naked and exposed to the air.

Her face immediately turned red, although he knew that Zhuo Jinxuan had slept in Bai Shuqin's room these days, but Bai Shuqin got up late, and he had already left when they came, so he had never seen the two together.

She asked the basin to be placed on the washstand and quietly withdrew, but the sound of the door closing woke them up. Bai Shuqin asked Zhuo Jinxuan with sleepy eyes: "What's wrong?" ”

Last night, Zhuo Jinxuan opened her eyes and saw that her hair was messy, and pulled the hair on her forehead behind her ears: "It's okay, will you sleep again?" ”

She rolled over, nestled in his arms and continued to sleep. Zhuo Jinxuan looked at her sleeping face, a smile appeared on his face, and at this moment he seemed to experience a feeling of happiness.

Bai Shuqin woke up not early, Zhuo Jinxuan had already arranged the carriage, and after she washed and eaten, she set off for the Second Prince's Mansion.

Bai Shuqin was in a good mood today, so he painted a bright red flower on his forehead, with exquisite makeup, black hair and red clothes, there was a sense of enchantment, and he really matched the country and the city.

Zhuo Jinxuan looked at her stupidly, and her smile seemed to have a fatal attraction to him. Although he didn't want to admit it, she was obviously more beautiful than Bai Bing now.

Bai Shuqin likes to wear red clothes on important days, which makes him very puzzled. She looked at herself in the mirror and pursed her red lips: "Red is domineering!" ”

In his heart, she was already domineering enough. When he returned to Ning, he was obviously not welcomed by the White Mansion, but he was stunned by the majesty of the Lord of the White Mansion.

Zhuo Jinxuan's hand slid over her cheek, stroking her cloud-like hair. She suddenly turned to look up at him: "Do you still want to change Bai Bing Bin for me now?" ”

He naturally didn't forget about it, in the final analysis, the position of the imperial concubine was originally Bai Bingbin, and he didn't exchange the two back at this time, and he had wronged her.

In the past, he planned to exchange the two of them back in the future, but now even if Bai Bingbin took the position of the imperial concubine, he was unwilling to let go of Bai Shuqin's hand.

Bai Shuqin looked at his expression, and he already knew what he was thinking. The ancients really wanted to have three wives and four concubines, but she would never accept it. She turned around and inserted the golden hairpin into her hair: "I can't serve a husband with anyone else!" ”

was guessed by her, but he didn't hide it, and asked: "What if I want both?" ”

She stood up, turned to look at him, and when her eyes met, she raised the corners of her mouth defiantly: "Then, I'll change my husband!" ”

His face was gloomy, and with her temperament, this sentence was definitely not a joke. He suppressed his anger: "You try! ”

She sneered and said no more.

Du Zijun came in and was about to call the two to leave, but he saw that both of them looked bad, although it had just begun autumn, he couldn't help but shiver.

Zhuo Jinxuan held back the fire in his belly, but it was not easy to attack, so he snorted and brushed his sleeves away.

Bai Shuqin looked like he didn't care about himself, and ate breakfast elegantly. Du Zijun walked up to her and reminded her that it would be too late if she didn't set off, and she nodded.

Du Zijun was curious, and Bai Shuqin didn't have much to do with him on weekdays, so he asked her what happened just now, why Zhuo Jinxuan's face was so dark.

"Haven't you ever seen a husband and wife quarrel?" Bai Shuqin said that the clouds were light and the wind was light. I don't know why, Zhuo Jinxuan's thoughts made her very uncomfortable, maybe she really couldn't see the Bai family.

Bai Shuqin thought that Zhuo Jinxuan was so angry just now, and he wouldn't go to the Second Prince's Mansion with her today, but when he came to the door, he saw that he had already gotten into the carriage. When he saw her come out, he turned his head away from her.

Qingluan also sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, the two were obviously so intimate in the morning, but after half an hour, they looked like enemies.

Bai Shuqin was inconvenient to move today, so Qingluan immediately stepped forward to help her get into the car.

Because Bai Shuqin was coming to be a guest today, Zhao Linlang got up early in the morning and arranged everything properly, like the hostess of the Second Prince's Mansion.

Halfway through the hour, Zhao Linlang estimated that Bai Shuqin should be there, so he ordered Fu Bo in the house to wait in front of the door with twelve maids. She also looked at the end of the road in front of the door, and waited for about a quarter of an hour before she saw several carriages speeding in the distance.

When the carriage drove to the front of the courtyard, Qingluan got down from the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and stretched out his hand to help Bai Shuqin down from the carriage. On the other side, Du Zijun also looked like a learner, and reached out to help Zhuo Jinxuan. Zhuo Jinxuan directly ignored his outstretched hand and got out of the car by himself. He was bored and withdrew his hand stupidly.

Zhao Linlang's gaze was completely attracted by Bai Shuqin, she had never seen such a suitable person for red. Although I have long heard that Bai Shuqin is the first beauty, but a few days ago, when I saw her always dressed in white and pale, I always felt that the reputation of the first beauty was a bit exaggerated, but today, what the first beauty said is indeed true.

Bai Shuqin saw her looking at her in a daze, and shouted to her: "Princess Linlang? ”

Zhao Linlang came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Sister, you're here!" Linlang has seen Brother Jingxuan! ”

Bai Shuqin glanced at the crowd, but didn't see Zhuo Linfeng, and was about to ask, Zhao Linlang had already spoken: "Brother Linfeng reads scriptures every morning, and he will have to wait a while to come over." Brother Jinxuan, sister, let's go in first! ”

Although the Second Prince's Mansion is not as large as the Third Prince's Mansion and the Grand Prince's Mansion, it is still not comparable to ordinary dignitaries. Bypassing the front yard and passing through a garden, I arrived at the place arranged by Zhao Linlang. The courtyard is very spacious, and there is a shooting range built by Zhuo Linfeng for Zhao Linlang in the distance.

As soon as they sat in the attic, Zhuo Linfeng also arrived from the chanting room. When Bai Shuqin saw him, he got up and saluted, and ordered Qingluan to take out the jade flute she bought yesterday, and said, "A little heart, I hope the second brother will not dislike it." ”

Zhuo Linfeng loves musical instruments, and when he saw that the jade flute was snow-white and shiny, he knew that the price was expensive. Zhao Linlang saw that he was excited and said that he wanted to listen to him play a song, and Zhuo Linfeng did not refuse, took out the jade flute, and improvised to play it for them.

The melodious sound of the flute, accompanied by the rustle of the wind blowing the bamboo forest, is like being in a paradise at this time, and you can put down all your troubles. Zhuo Jinxuan, who had a face on this board, also softened his expression at this moment.

At the end of the song, everyone couldn't help but applaud, and Bai Shuqin did not hesitate to praise him.

After greeting each other for a while, Zhao Linlang invited Bai Shuqin to the shooting range to guide her archery. After the two left, seeing that Zhuo Jinxuan had no intention of following, Zhuo Linfeng guessed that the two might have a conflict, but it was difficult for the Qing official to decide the family affairs, so he didn't say anything, just stayed in place with him.

After coming to the shooting range, Zhao Linlang wanted to compete with Bai Shuqin again. Bai Shuqin's clothes today were really not suitable for archery, so he refused, and only watched the guidance from the sidelines.

There was no one to interfere in the middle of the shooting range, and Zhao Linlang was almost to the point of hitting every shot, but she still felt dissatisfied. Bai Shuqin watched it a few times and said to her: "There is no problem with the princess's archery skills, but losing to me that day was a loss in my heart." ”

Zhao Linlang knew it herself, but when she thought that a miss would hurt someone, she couldn't calm down. She couldn't understand why Bai Shuqin was also everyone's best girl, so she could be so calm in the face of the possible consequences of a miss.

"Princess, I'll stand under the target later, you try again." After Bai Shuqin finished speaking, she walked under the target, because she couldn't reach the bull's-eye, she asked someone to bring a stool over, and after making sure that the bull's-eye was just on her head, she gestured to Zhao Linlang and motioned for her to shoot an arrow.

Zhao Linlang pulled out the bow and arrow, and at this time she was even more nervous than the competition that day, and some fine sweat broke out on her forehead. She took a deep breath and double-checked her aim at the bull's-eye before firing the arrow.
