Chapter 40: Painting the Woman

There was a faint excitement in his heart, and he didn't know what she said.

Like him?

As soon as this idea came out, it was like a honey pot exploded in his chest, and he was full of joy.

Just now, Baili asked him not to believe Baili Huiyan's words, and he had already forgotten everything.

There was still a drop of water hanging on the hair on her forehead, and Chu Jiuhuan wanted to wipe it off for her with the handkerchief in his hand.

Suddenly, a hand reached over, and Baili was suddenly vigilant, and instinctively opened his hand.

This slap brought some force, and the handkerchief in Chu Jiuhuan's hand was also knocked to the ground.

He gritted his teeth and wanted to swear, but he couldn't help it, considering that there were many people.

Bailijie couldn't stand it anymore, and was upset for Chu Jiuhuan, "Bailijie, why are you angry with others, it's me who sprays water, you throw fire at me, and lose your temper with Chu Gongzi, is it because of his temper?" ”

Chu Jiuhuan has a good temper? She didn't find out. Bailijie is afraid that she has never seen Chu Jiuhuan in private, she has a bad temper, loves to scold, and wants to save face, I don't know if he likes it or not.

Baili Yan is here, he definitely won't wipe her face, so there must be other reasons.

Baili looked at Chu Jiuhuan's somewhat embarrassed face and asked, "So what were you going to do just now?" ”

Chu Jiuhuan snorted coldly, and opened his mouth to mock, "You have a piece of tea on your head, it looks really indecent, Chu just kindly wants to help you take that tea away." So what does Her Royal Highness the princess think Chu is going to do. ”

Baili looked a little embarrassed, then blinked, and pretended to be obedient: "Actually, I just twitched my hand, I don't know why." I really didn't want to hit you. ”

Chu Jiuhuan: "......" I believe you are a ghost, pretend, and then pretend."

Baili Wan looked at Chu Jiuhuan's eyes that had already seen through everything, gave him a soulless smile, and then got up and trotted in front of Baili Huiyan, and said with a serious expression: "Third brother, quickly twist off the tea leaves that the sixth sister sprayed on my head." I don't want to be figurative. ”

Bai Lijie: "......"

Baili Huiyan pushed her around, let her face Chu Jiuhuan, and said with a smile: "Let's let Chu Gongzi help, my eyes are not very good, I may not be able to find the tea leaves." ”

Bailiwen: "!! "How bad are your eyes?

She began to wonder if there was tea on her head.

Chu Jiuhuan coughed lightly twice, perhaps to prove that he didn't lie to her, and said in a tense voice, "You lower your head." ”

Baili lowered her head obediently, and then felt that someone on the top of her head was gently touched, and then she heard Chu Jiuhuan say, "Okay." ”

Baili raised her head and saw that he was indeed twisting a small piece of tea between his fingers.

Fortunately, he saw it, otherwise he would have gone out with the tea leaves.

Shame on you.

She bowed her head at him again, "You have good eyes, take a look again, is there anything else?" ”

Chu Jiuhuan: "......" I refuse.

But since she put her head in front of him, he looked symbolically at it, and made sure that it was gone, and then said, "Don't worry, there is none." ”

Only then did Baili raise her head, her eyes as black as ink jade reflected the scene in front of her, like two transparent windows. Her appearance is not bright and compelling, but it is a very moderate kind of beauty that is easy to make people feel friendly.

It is like a piece of jade without edges and corners, and the more you look at it, the more fascinating it becomes.

Her smile seemed to make people sweet to the bottom of her heart, and she said, "Thank you, Young Master Chu." ”

Chu Jiuhuan's throat rolled slightly, and he looked away a little stiffly, but he just happened to meet Bai Liyan's gaze on the other side, he wanted to dodge inexplicably, but he reacted that dodging would only make people misunderstand, so he smiled slightly and nodded his head at her.

Bai Liyan also smiled at him, and that smile was like a peony blooming, beautiful and beautiful.

Her beauty is more like a picture scroll, which makes people feel unreal and somewhat ethereal.

The strange thing is that he has admired Baili Yan for a long time, and every time they meet, there seems to be nothing other than amazing.

But every time I see Bailiwu, my mood becomes strange and inexplicable.

In front of Baili Yan, he must pretend to be a humble son, and there can be no rudeness. But when facing Baili Wu, he can always show his truest self, say whatever he wants, scold people when he wants, and have no scruples, and become a wild horse alive.

It must be Baili who looks too casual and too secure, so he will be like that.

He looked out the window absentmindedly, and the street outside was still full of people, people were talking and laughing, and it was a prosperous scene.

Bai Liyan's smile froze, pursed her lips and looked away.

The situation was already a little out of control, and it was inevitable that Baili Huiyan would have another ghostly idea, Baili Hui quietly poked his arm, and said in a low voice: "Third brother, I have one more thing when I came out today, have you forgotten?" ”

Baili Huiyan really didn't remember anything else, and tilted his head to look at her, "What's the matter?" ”

Although she was a little embarrassed, she still stubbornly whispered, "Write a letter." ”

Baili Huiyan immediately understood that he would write a letter to Su Wuyi every month, because Su Wuyi had told him to ask Baili to write a letter to him before leaving, but it was not very convenient to write a letter in the palace, so he took the letter out and sent it out.

This habit has been going on for more than a year.

She happened to come out today, and he was too lazy to enter the palace to get her letter in a few days.

Finally agreed to her request, "Okay, let's go back then." ”

His voice was not suppressed, and the others heard it and looked at it.

Baili Huiyan got up and said, "Fourth sister and sixth sister, you and Chu Gongzi continue to play, and Danying and I will go back." ”

They didn't say anything, and they all stood up to send them off.

Baili said goodbye to them and followed Baili Huiyan out of the teahouse.

After she came out, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Baili Huiyan had an expression on her face that thought she could see everything clearly, "Look at you're nervous." ”

yes, nervous indeed.

"The third brother finally believes that you like Chu Jiuhuan."

Bailiwen: "......"

I'm so nervous, you're not nervous about him.

In fact, the content of the letter written every month is almost the same, nothing more than greetings about how he is doing there, whether anything interesting has happened, and so on.

The most important thing is that she didn't dare to write more, for fear of being seen by Baili Huiyan. When the time comes, she won't even be allowed to write the letter, so won't the only way for her to get close to him be cut off?

When she is a little stronger, she is so strong that she is completely respected and trusted by her father, she can be worthy of him, she can be compared with him, and she can be qualified to recruit him as a concubine.

Hopefully he can wait until the day when she's strong enough.

When he left, he said that he would not come back for a year and a half, and sure enough, he did not come to Kyoto again for more than a year.

She is sometimes really afraid, afraid that he will suddenly have someone he likes, afraid that he will suddenly marry the girl he loves one day.

After all, he is so good, good girls lined up in a long line waiting for him to choose.

But what gave her a little comfort was that he had said that he would not marry before the age of twenty-three.

He's twenty-two, and there's still a year to go.

She had to work harder.

She suddenly smiled, every time she wrote a letter, the content of the letter she wrote was very short, but Su Wuyi could reply a lot, tell her some interesting things around him, talk about the environment and humanity over there, every time she read his letter, it was like reading a chapter of travelogue.

Sometimes she really wants to fly to him and see how beautiful the place where he lives is.

Baili Wu handed the written letter to Baili Huiyan, and when she looked up again, the fiery sunset burned half of the sky, and the wicker above the wall looked like a girl's green silk in the wind.

The peony and pomegranate blossoms in the garden are also at their peak, and the air is filled with a refreshing fragrance.

Baili is very fond of the floral fragrance of peony, although the peony is gorgeous, but the fragrance is far less than it.

The red and white flower bones are clustered in clusters, and they bloom gracefully and luxuriously.

She unconsciously got up, walked to the flower garden, picked up a bright white peony, and slowly approached her nose.

The sweet and beautiful fragrance suddenly ran from her nose to her entire chest, and she took a long breath of satisfaction.

The girl lingered among the flowers, the fiery red sunset cast a warm glow on her, the blooming stamens surrounded her, and the skirt fluttering in the wind made her look like a butterfly lingering among them.

Baili Huiyan improvised a pen and painted this scene vividly.

When he sent the letter the next day, he sent the painting along with the letter.

The weather is getting hotter, Baili He's old headache has been committed again, and his temper has become extremely bad, and now the only people who can approach him and be safe and sound and not be scolded are Feng Gui and Baili Yu.

Moreover, the border between Dongying and Liyan has not been very peaceful recently, although there has been no formal declaration of war, but the contradictions between the officers and soldiers and the people on both sides have intensified, and this is a matter of time.

In the early dynasties, on this matter, the courtiers were divided into three factions, one faction fought the main battle, and fought to the end with Dongying Kingdom. One faction is the main peace, the envoys are sent to negotiate peace, or a princess is sent to make peace with the royal family of Dongyingguo. There is also a group of people who do not express any opinion and wait and see.

Baili didn't say a few words from beginning to end, all of them were these ministers arguing loudly and reasonably.

He rubbed his temples with a headache, "Shut up!" This made me think about it before I decided. The crown prince, the three princes, the palace prime minister, and the imperial history of Chu stayed, and the others retreated! ”

In the imperial study, there are those who are left behind, and there are those who are the main battle, and there are also those who are in peace. No one spoke.

"Prince, tell me your opinion."

Baili Ziqian hurriedly gave up his hand and replied: "Father, the son thinks that this battle can be avoided. After all, once the war starts, the people will be displaced, and the people will lose their money. It is better to send a princess and relatives, not only will you be spared from war, but you can also protect the peace of Dongying Kingdom and me for decades. ”

Bai Li Yu nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "Then which princess do you think is appropriate to send to you?" ”

Baili Ziqian glanced at Baili who was standing behind Baili as if unintentionally, and proposed: "Erchen thinks that the Seventh Emperor Sister is the most suitable. She has the courage and strategy, and she will definitely be able to reconcile the relationship between our two countries and live up to the expectations of the people of Li and the love of her father. ”

Baili's expression stiffened slightly, and she pursed her lips tightly, but she didn't look at anyone, just listened quietly.

Baili Hu did not answer Baili Ziqian directly, but looked at Chu Liuxi again, "Chu Yushi, tell me your opinion." ”
