Chapter 33: I really want to see her
When Bai Yi spoke, Bai Ling nodded the whole time, and his expression did not change.
"The time has not come," Bai Ling's voice was soft, "General Shen's side...... There's no need to rush, it's useless to be in a hurry. β
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Yi stepped forward and touched her forehead with some concern - there was some slight sweat, but her body temperature was normal.
"It's okay," Bai Ling leaned back slightly, avoiding Bai Yi's hand, and smiled, "I'm just ...... I'm a little tired, let's eat. β
There are some things that Bai Ling did not say.
When she saw that there was no one at home, although she guessed that it was mostly related to her father's declaration in front of the emperor yesterday that "Shenjichuan is free of disease", other terrible conjectures also rushed into her mind in an instant.
If Bai Ling hadn't thought about it so much in normal times, but at the moment she had to think - did something happen? Has anyone seen through her plans? Did force majeure appear before her and stir up the situation?
Bai Yi took the dishes from Baiwei Lou to the kitchen and heated them up, and then changed his way to arrange them and serve them again, looking no different from freshly baked.
He is obviously familiar with the food on the table, where the attention to each dish is reflected and where the essence is, Bai Yi will come to them all.
Bai Ling supported his cheek with one hand, supported his face to look at his father and brother in front of him, and smiled or sighed from time to time with Bai Yi's tone.
There was something beautiful about this scene, so beautiful that Bai Ling suddenly had a thoughtβif she recalled her childhood and youth here many years later, then this extremely ordinary scene of three people sitting around and eating would definitely come to her mind vividly and vividly.
Almost instantly, Bai Ling saw her weakness completely, but in the next moment, she fully accepted it.
β¦β¦
April is coming to an end again.
When it was time for the daily rest of the country's prison, the prince went to greet his parents in the morning, but saw that his mother was the only one in the room, and his father was not in the house.
The princess was half-lying on the bench, holding the scroll in one hand and reading it carefully, while the other hand was stretched out to several maids beside her.
Shizi looked at it for a while, and saw that the maids kept their heads down, exchanging things with each other from time to time, and they didn't know what they were doing.
"Mother." He shouted at the door,
Only then did several of the maids in it realize that there was someone behind them, and they all got up and saluted the prince, and the subordinates on the side turned around and brought a low mound to the prince and placed it next to the princess's bench.
Seeing that his father was not there, the prince was not as restrained as usual, so he omitted kowtowing and sat directly next to the princess.
"You're busy with you, leave me alone." The prince commanded.
Only then did the maids sit back in their original positions and continue to polish the princess's nails.
The princess put down the book in her hand, gently stroked the shoulders of the prince, and said with a smile, "Your father entered the palace early in the morning, you can go back and sleep for a while." β
"What is the mother looking at?" He picked up the book that his mother had thrown in his arms and read it softly, "The Record of Mountains and Rivers...... What is this about? β
While asking, Shizi has already lowered his head and flipped through it.
The princess smiled and said, "This is a travelogue of a talent who fell off the list during the Apocalypse, called ...... What's it called," she reached out to flip through the cover of the book in Shizi's hand, "Li Yuan." β
Shizi read a few paragraphs carefully, looked up and asked, "Does the concubine also want to go out for a walk?" β
"Sometimes I think." Zhen smiled, "Sometimes I don't want to think about it after a while, so just look at the mountains, rivers and seas they wrote." β
Shizi tilted his head, not quite understanding the meaning of the words, but he wrote down the name of the book, and then returned the book to his mother with both hands.
"Princess, the left hand is already done," the maid on the side said softly, "Do you want to do the right hand now?" β
The princess nodded, adjusted her position, and said to the prince, "Cong'er get up and change positions with them." β
Shizi obediently went around to the other side, and he looked at the bottles and cans held by the maids with some curiosity, "Is the mother cutting her nails?" β
"Sort of." Zhen picked up the book again, and continued to read the paragraphs just now.
Seeing that his mother was fascinated by reading and reading, the prince couldn't talk anymore, so he stood up and took a shell about two fingers wide from the maids' work boxes, opened it gently, and filled it with white paste, "What is this...... It's still ice to the touch. β
The maid standing on the side replied softly, "Back to the world, it's whale wax, after washing the nails, rubbing it on the nail surface and polishing it can make the nails smoother." β
"Whale wax ......" Shizi was stunned, he had never heard of this thing.
But it sounds like a good thing.
"Yes, most people use cheap beeswax at home, because beeswax can hold it. But cetacean wax can only be stored in the ice cellar, and it will melt after a short time when it is placed outside in summer," the maid explained softly, "We have an ice cellar in the palace, so the mother has always used cetain." β
Hearing this, the prince became happy again.
Does it have to be in the ice cellar......
Think about the courtyard in the alley of the Bai family, it must not be able to let go.
The princess listened to it funny, and couldn't help but put down the book, "Why are you asking this?" β
"Well...... Shizi pondered for a moment and replied earnestly, "the main thing is ...... The kids want to try it too. β
The princess glanced at Shizi's hand, and Shizi couldn't help but clench his fist and hide all his nails in his palm.
The princess laughed, she knew the prince's hands best, Chen Yicong couldn't help but start biting his nails whenever he thought of something, even if his nails were always a dog-gnawed mess, he didn't care.
And now say want to give cetawax a try?
The princess picked up the book in her hand again, and did not break it, but sighed with a smile, "Doll, calm down." β
Chen Yicong's heart was broken again, and he couldn't help but feel cramped, he justified a few words, and then shouted that he wanted to go back to the room to review his homework, and ran away.
On this day, the sun was just right, and he ran under the winding corridor of the palace, and the sunlight sprinkled down the gaps in the branches and leaves.
After all, he really hadn't seen Bai Ling for a long time.
She hadn't seen her since the last time she gave her the peace charm.
I really want to see her.
Although the mother said that she could not go to see her during this time......
But still, I really want to see her.
β¦β¦
At this time, in the Chengqian Palace, Zheng Shu had been busy inside and out for almost an hour.
Today was the appointed day, and Zheng Shu got up early in the morning - she knew it wasn't necessary, but she couldn't sleep since she received Bai Ling's signal last night.
Last night, Bai Lingtuo sent a box of rouge that was broken in half, and Bao Yuan accidentally bumped into it, and he was still lamenting that the good rouge fell into two pieces, which was a pity for Bai Ling's heart. Zheng Shu followed her and coaxed Baoyuan to rest early, but she lost sleep.
It's been so long that she's almost forgotten what it's like to be so excited about something that she can't sleep.
