Chapter 32: The Lantern Festival

"How to do things, Seventh Sister, she has her own measure, and she doesn't need to worry about the prince and brother. The crown prince and brother should think about how to help the victims. ”

There was a deserving majesty in his clear voice, which made Baili Ziqian slightly stunned, and then he was annoyed.

"The third emperor brother has been busy for several months to catch corruption and eliminate evil, and in the end all the credit has been returned to the palace, presumably the third emperor brother is uncomfortable at this time."

Baili Huiyan seemed to think that his words were ridiculous, so he also chuckled, "Maybe only the crown prince and the royal brother will care about the word "merit", the younger brother only knows that it is my duty to sweep away the evil and eliminate the evil, and it should be investigated thoroughly, if the imperial brother insists on saying so, then the younger brother can't help it." ”

He smiled and lowered his head and said to Baili Sister-in-law: "Let's go, you haven't eaten anything yet, the Third Emperor Brother will accompany you to eat delicious food." ”

Immediately, he ignored Baili Ziqian, whose face was as gloomy as water, and returned to the seat with Baili Wu.

Baili took a sip of tea before laughing quietly and said, "Third brother, you were so powerful just now." ”

Baili Huiyan showed a smug look, "That is, when will your third brother not be mighty." But......" he then smiled wryly, "when he ascends the throne, he will not necessarily spare my life." ”

He paused, "And you." ”

The good mood just now disappeared in an instant, and his father's health deteriorated, and maybe he would give way to Baili Ziqian in a few years.

Then their good days will come to an end.

The bottom of my heart seems to have pressed a big stone, and I can't breathe when I am depressed.

No matter how much she fights, the court will change in the future, and she will only be beaten back to her original form again, and she may even be sent to hell.

It would be nice if the third brother was the crown prince.

Then she can be carefree and let go of her hands and feet.

If the third brother is the crown prince, then she has more expectations and motivation for the future.

"Third brother, how good it would be if you were the prince." Unconsciously, Baili said what was in her heart.

Baili Huiyan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then scraped the bridge of her nose with her index finger, "You, you, why do you think so?" Do you think it would be easy to change the crown prince? Even the father and emperor could not easily depose and depose the crown prince, one of which was that there was a habit of appointing the eldest son as the crown prince since ancient times, which is a very important point that cannot be changed. The second is that the queen's maternal palace family is powerful and has an intertwined foundation, which is easily unshakable. And they are the most powerful and direct backing of the prince. Once anyone threatens the interests of the prince, they will inevitably attack them en masse. ”

"Huh?" It's so complicated.

Baili Huiyan smiled indifferently, "Okay, don't think about it so much, when the day comes, the third brother will take you to join your brother Su." ”

Baili Wu's hand slowly stretched out and touched a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, and she replied vaguely: "Well......"

After the two of them were full, Baili Huiyan left the palace early, and Baili returned to Youlan Palace, where she was the only one.

Since Mama Chen's death, Baili Auntie picked a girl who had made mistakes before in the Xin Zheku, and now in Youlan Palace, the two of them depend on each other.

After washing up, Baili Wu lay on the bed on all fours, and the girl was not surprised, so she turned off the lights and rested lightly in the outer room.

If the crown prince ascends the throne in the future and does not let them go, and can escape to Jiangnan to find Su Wuyi, then this matter does not seem so terrible.

Baili bent the corners of her lips, hugged the pillow and gradually fell asleep.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, there are lantern festivals in various parts of the people.

Kyoto is a Kyoto teacher, and the lantern festival is also the most prosperous and grand.

It's already dark, but the whole city is full of lanterns, making Kyoto feel like daytime.

The streets are full of people, everyone is dressed in beautiful clothes, talking and laughing with relatives and friends.

In the Liuyu River, there are boats moored with colorful lights of the children of the noble family, which makes the night more prosperous.

Baili Wu went out of the palace with Bai Liyan and Bai Lijie this time, and I don't know what she was thinking, and she would be called out of the palace.

The three of them only wore veils, after all, with her appearance, appearing in the downtown was likely to cause a riot in the crowd.

Bailijie and Bailiwen are not.

The vicinity of the Liuyu River was the most lively, and their carriage stopped by the river, and several people got off the carriage and strolled along the river.

"There seems to be a poetry club there, let's go and have a look." Baili Yan pointed to the pavilion not far away and said.

A few people looked at it, and the pavilion was really full of young men, all of them were full of spirit and energy.

A person who was chanting poetry suddenly stopped talking and looked in one direction, only to see three young women coming in earnest.

One of the women was dressed in a green cotton dress, with a tasseled hairpin of the same color on her head, and her black hair was like a waterfall, which was beautiful and lovely.

Another woman's appearance only feels delicate and friendly at first glance, and then you will find that her facial features are exquisite, and she is full of aura with water tenderness that can pinch out water.

And the woman among them, covering her face with a white scarf, aroused everyone's curiosity for a while.

Those two women are so outstanding, I don't know how beautiful they will be in the middle?

Chu Jiuhuan recognized Baili Yanlai at a glance, and stood up busily, he knew that the identities of several of them could not be exposed at will, so he only waved his hand to his colleagues, "You continue, I'll come when I go." ”

In the midst of the coaxing of a group of people, Chu Jiuhuan walked over to them.

He first glanced at Baili Wu uncontrollably, and saw that she was looking at the river in a slight daze, but did not look at him.

Chu Jiuhuan retracted his gaze, "Chu has seen the fourth princess, the sixth princess...... Seven Princesses. ”

When Baili heard his voice, she turned around, but saw the tall figure of the young man shrouded in front of Bai Liyan, looking at her with affection.

Bai Liyan chuckled, "Young Master Chu is exempt." I haven't thanked you for the jade pendant you gave me that day. ”

Baili Jie was stunned for a moment and looked at Chu Jiuhuan.

She finally understood why Bai Liyan would leave the palace today, she was afraid that she had already known that Chu Jiuhuan would participate in the poetry meeting here, and then took her to poke her.

She grabbed the handkerchief in her hand violently, and her heart rose to her throat for a moment.

Chu Jiuhuan knew that she didn't transfer the things to Bai Liyan, so wasn't his impression of her extremely bad?

No way!

At that time, she could only insist that Baili Wu didn't give her anything at all.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glared at Baili Wu.

Chu Jiuhuan smiled embarrassedly, his handsome cheeks outlined a gentle and elegant arc under the lamplight, "It was Chu who was abrupt that day, and he sent you something like that, and I don't know if it caused you trouble." ”

Although through the veil, it can still be seen that Baili Yan smiled, "A jade pendant for blessings, how can it be abrupt." It's Chu Gongzi who has a heart. ”

Chu Jiuhuan was slightly stunned, "Pray for blessings? He smiled blankly, "Chu doesn't know that the jade pendant still has the meaning of praying for blessings." ”

At this time, Baili Yan also looked over, and just saw Bai Liyu pick up the jade pendant hanging on her waist and shook it playfully in front of Chu Jiuhuan, "This is not for blessings, what else can it be used for?" ”

Chu Jiuhuan's eyes widened when she looked at the jade pendant, where was this jade pendant that she gave her?

He suddenly looked at Bailijie, and Bailiwen glanced at him and then looked at Bailijie, "Sixth sister, what's going on?" The jade pendant I obviously handed over to you is an heirloom jade pendant engraved with the word "Chu", why did the fourth sister receive this jade pendant? ”

Bai Lijie suddenly glared, "Let it go...... You're lying, when did you give me the jade pendant with the word "Chu", it's obviously the one hanging from the waist of the fourth sister! Is it because you admire Gongzi Chu and secretly hide the token he wants to give to the fourth sister? ”

Bai Liyan was surprised: "What does Young Master Chu want to give me...... Your heirloom? ”

Chu Jiuhuan was still trapped in Bai Lijie's words just now, and when he heard Bai Lijie's soft voice, his expression was a little unnatural.

He replied: "Yes, that day Chu did ask the Seventh Princess to take Chu to hand over to me the Chu family's heirloom jade pendant, and Chu later thought that it was too abrupt to do so, so he regretted it." Since the princess didn't receive it, can she do something that didn't happen? ”

Bai Liyan was slightly stunned, obviously she didn't expect Chu Jiuhuan to retreat at this moment.

There was no trace of a smile on his cheeks under the veil, and he only said lightly: "Since what Gongzi Chu said didn't happen, then nothing happened." ”

Chu Jiuhuan nodded gratefully, "Then Chu won't bother." That one...... Can the Seventh Princess take a step to speak? ”

Baili Wu stood still, she didn't want to make everyone angry here.

Chu Jiuhuan couldn't help gritting his teeth, "Seventh Princess, you have to give an explanation to Chu for that jade pendant, right?" ”

Bai Lijie's worried look instantly turned into schadenfreude, and Bai Lijie obviously finished acting, for this kind of suitor, it is better to keep a distance and height as much as possible, so that the other party will always admire and admire herself.

Then he said: "Seventh sister, this matter is indeed something you did wrong, go and explain it to Master Chu." ”

With that, he turned and walked towards the carriage.

"Fourth Emperor Sister, you believe me, what Baili Lady really gave me is this jade pendant, and I didn't make a difference. I think it must be this girl who wants to provoke our relationship, so she changed the jade pendant. ”

Bai Liyan sneered under the veil, her voice as soft as ever, "I naturally believe in you." ”

Seeing them turn around and leave, Chu Jiuhuan grabbed Baili Yan's wrist and led her to a secluded place with few people.

And Baili Wu was also pulled by him, without resistance, her eyes kept staring at the largest flower boat in the river.

"Give me back the jade pendant!"

Chu Jiuhuan's palm stretched upwards to Bailiwen.

Baili retracted her gaze, looked at his palm in a daze, frowned and said, "What am I doing with your jade pendant?" I really gave it to the Sixth Emperor Sister. ”

"Why can't you take it?" There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

Baili was a little absent-minded, only hearing his literal meaning, she was suddenly inexplicable, "You are sick." What am I doing with your! ”

Chu Jiuhuan suddenly became angry, "That's a broken thing for you?" ”

After Baili Wu spoke, she realized that she had said something serious, and her tone softened, and explained: "Okay, okay, it's not a broken thing." It's just that that thing is naturally priceless to those who admire you, but to ordinary people, it really has no value. ”

Chu Jiuhuan smiled angrily, "Worthless? That jade is the best Hetian jade...... "Wait, why do you say this?"

He said, "Since you like it so much, I'll give it to you." ”

Baili Wu was speechless, how could she really think she took it, is she the kind of person who wants to see money.

This nerd!!

Baili Wu couldn't help but raise her leg and kick the crook of his leg, Chu Jiuhuan was inexplicably lifeless, and when he looked down at her, he saw that she suddenly stopped moving, her eyes widened, and the whole person shouted softly as if she was out of her body: "Brother Su." ”
