Chapter 120: Approaching
"About half an hour." The voice in the shadows whispered, "Actually, it's already on, but it's not obvious yet." ”
"Then I should be able to call the mother to come and see it later?"
Bai Ling turned his head thoughtfully, looking at Qu Shi and Ning Concubine who were sitting by Chunming Lake from a distance.
She estimated the time in her heart - she had to find a way to meet Concubine Ning tonight.
"Probably." Wei Shixi replied with a golden word, his eyes slightly sideways, looking at the path not far away, and said in a low voice, "Someone may want to trouble you, be careful." ”
Bai Ling was slightly stunned, and when he turned back, Fourteen was no longer behind the shadow of the tree.
At the same time, a faint aroma of fat powder came with the wind, and Bai Ling heard a soft female voice beside him, "This ...... It's the Bai Si medicine from the Chengqian Palace, right? ”
Bai Ling followed the sound and looked at it, and saw that the enchanting Lin Jieyu in red had walked behind him at some point.
No wonder Fourteen dropped a sentence and left-it turned out that the person who came was a concubine in the harem, so he naturally wanted to avoid it.
But after thinking about it, tonight is a happy day, even if Lin Jieyu really wants to find any trouble, she will not pick this occasion.
Many thoughts flashed through Bai Ling's mind, and he already lowered his head and chuckled, bending his knees slightly, "I've seen Niangniang." ”
"You know me." Lin Jieyu smiled and sighed, "No wonder, I'm also notorious in this palace, and it's not strange that you recognize me." ”
Bai Ling smiled and did not answer.
When he looked at it from a distance, he only felt that the lakeside beauty was enchanting and idle, but now the distance between the two was only three or four steps, and Bai Ling felt the almost thrilling brightness of the beauty in front of him.
When she laughed, there were shallow pear vortices on both sides, and the pale red eyeshadow was very long, and she smiled and looked forward to it, and it was hard to imagine anyone in the world who would not love such a face.
It's just that those eyes are cold, and even when he laughs, he has a chill that makes Bai Ling a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that Bai Ling did not answer unceremoniously, and almost acquiesced to the sentence "I am notorious in this palace", Lin Jieyu was not angry. She took a few more slow steps forward, then sighed, "You know me, and I know you." ”
"It seems to be true." Bai Ling said suddenly.
"What really?"
"Granny Shu said that I am now famous in the harem," Bai Ling replied softly, "I think it is probably because of the relationship with the concubine, right......?" ”
Lin Jieyu looked at it with a smile.
The opening statement she had prepared seemed to be useless, and Bai Ling opened her mouth straight to the ground, so she naturally didn't twist anything.
"It's a clever ...... Hongu also likes clever girls. ”
Bai Ling smiled again, neither shirking nor thanking Lin Jieyu for her praise, and let the atmosphere between the two cool down.
Lin Jieyu took the initiative to provoke the topic for the third time, "I heard that Sister Qu's sleep has been improving recently. ”
Bai Ling sighed softly, just looked down at the flowers, "Who did Niangniang listen to?" ”
"Rumors." Lin Jieyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "I don't know where the rumors came from...... I don't know if it's credible or not, so I'm here to ask Master Si Yao for verification. ”
The sentence "Master Si Yao", Lin Jieyu bit the words very slowly.
This scene will look a little funny from afar, Lin Jieyu maintained an almost apologetic attitude towards the little Bai Ling in front of her, and Bai Ling accepted it as a matter of course without the slightest panic.
"It's hard to say." Bai Ling smiled, "Why do you care about this, haven't you been sleeping well lately?" ”
Lin Jieyu didn't answer directly, just hooked her lips slightly, and asked softly, "If I don't sleep well, can I also ask Bai Si Yao to take a look?" ”
"Then I have to ask the concubine first, after all, I am now on duty in the Chengqian Palace." Bai Ling replied generously, "If the concubine agrees, then Lin Jieyu can also come and negotiate the price with me." ”
"Price?"
"Please, but it's expensive." Bai Ling looked at Lin Jieyu with a clear gaze, "Think twice." ”
Lin Jieyu's eyebrows moved slightly, and she was about to say something, when she heard a faint angry voice not far away, "Bai Ling!" ”
The two looked back at the same time, only to see Bao Yuan approaching quickly, pulling her sleeve with one hand and pulling Bai Ling behind him hard.
"Bai Ling is the new medicine of our Chengqian Palace, many of the rules in the palace are not very clear, if there is something offensive and confused in talking to Lin Jieyu, you have a lot, take care of it."
Bao Yuan's tone is very hard, even if it is different from Lin Jieyu in front of him in terms of identity and servant, but there is no timidity and taboo at all, the words are begging for mercy, but the tone is full of hatred.
Lin Jieyu lowered her eyes and chuckled, as if she was used to seeing Bao Yuan's appearance, and before she could speak, she had raised the fan in her hand slightly, blocking half of her face and the spitting stars that Bao Yuan splashed from.
She didn't even bother to look at Bao Yuan, her eyes had already passed over the people in front of her, and she lightly blessed them not far behind them, and said softly, "I've seen the emperor, I've seen Qu Guifei, I've seen ...... Ning Concubine Niangniang. ”
Bai Ling only found out at this time that Emperor Jianxi was also coming here with Qu and Ning Concubine, and she immediately stood behind Bao Yuan and bowed with everyone.
"Your Majesty, the nightshade here is about to bloom." Qiu Shi took a few steps forward and stood next to the wooden trellis with epiphany, "We're just in time." ”
Emperor Jianxi was indeed attracted by the light fragrance of flowers.
Although the evening primrose is precious, it is by no means to the point of being able to ascend to the hall of elegance, because of its rich aroma when it blooms and its extremely short flowering period, the character of this flower has always been criticized very low by literati and ink writers, and people do not like it.
However, the flowering period of nightshade is usually in May and June of the lunar calendar, and it is only in mid-March at this time, and there are buds in the palace that will not bloom, which is really rare.
Jia Yuchun followed the footsteps of Emperor Jianxi all the way, and then stepped forward to tell the origin of these pots of nightshade specially provided by Huizhou Mansion, as well as the method of protecting roots and leaves that flower farmers stumbled upon.
The palace people around also gathered in this direction, although everyone didn't dare to squeeze in front of the emperor, but it was good to be able to stick closer and get a little dragon energy.
Bai Ling was originally not interested in these things, but Jia Yuchun had the ability to tell the story compellingly, which made people can't help but listen and think about it.
Just when she felt that she was listening to it, her eyes inadvertently met Ning Concubine.
Concubine Ning's eyes were full of suspicion, and before Bai Ling found out, she had already looked her up and down several times.
Looking at each other, no one looked away, Ning Concubine frowned slightly, suddenly raised her chin slightly, turned around and retreated from the crowd silently.
When she completely escaped from the crowd before Evening Primrose, and when she turned back, Bai Ling had already followed her out.
Concubine Ning snorted lightly and whispered to Bai Ling, "Come with me." ”
