Chapter Twenty-Eight: Entering the Palace

Bai Ling, who was drying sheets in the courtyard, suddenly sneezed.

Bai Ling stopped and rubbed his nose gently.

Who is secretly speaking ill of her again?

After getting a little more comfortable, she lowered her head again and tried to shake off the sheets that had been wrung out of the tub.

"Need help?" Wei Shishi's voice came from above the eaves - Bai Ling is not very tall, and he usually dries clothes, but it is more difficult to dry such large items.

"Ah......" Bai Ling grabbed the corner of the sheet and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes!" Very ......"

Wei XIV jumped down like a swallow, took the corner of the sheet from Bai Ling's hand, followed the edge to the middle edge on both sides of it, and with a shake of his big hand, the crumpled wet sheet was spread out.

Wei Fourteen threw it towards the drying rack set up on the side like a net, and then gently pulled the corner to adjust its position.

Bai Ling wet his hands and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his forearm, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome."

Bai Ling sat down on the edge of the well beside him. I was really tired when I kept bowing my head and scrubbing, but when I looked up at the sky, it was almost noon, and it would be too late to prepare lunch.

Bai Ling sighed, stood up and did a few stretching exercises, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said with some curiosity, "...... Who usually washes Fourteen's clothes? ”

"Beizhen Fusi has a department dedicated to handling these matters, and I just need to send the change of clothes to a fixed location."

"I see......" Bai Ling nodded.

Also, if he had to do such a trivial daily chore, he would not be able to use his time.

"Will it be too late?"

"What's too late?"

"For example, on a rainy day, my clothes can't dry for a long timeβ€”"

"No," replied Wei Shixi, "I have more than eighty sets of such clothes, and even if I can't do them, they will be enough to change until the rainy season has passed." ”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment.

More than eighty sets?

That's too much......

Even girls don't have more than 80 sets of clothes in their wardrobes

Wei Fourteen looked at Bai Ling, "Is there any problem?" ”

Bai Ling shook his head, and after a while, he spoke a little tentatively, "...... More than eighty sets, are they all the same clothes? ”

"Hmm." Wei Shixi nodded, he twisted his joints slightly, and pointed to his shoulder, "The sleeves and the fleece inside of these clothes can be removed, and the accessories used in winter and summer are not the same, and it is actually quite troublesome to change." ”

Bai Ling scratched her head slightly, and a mystery that had plagued her for years was solved, that is, why Wei Shixi seemed to wear the same black clothes all year round, but he seemed to be clean all the time.

Thinking about it carefully, there are too many mysteries on Wei Shixi, he has been able to respond to requests almost every time in the past few years, and Bai Ling rarely takes the initiative to notice that Wei Shixi is not around.

But how did he solve the problem of three meals a day? How to solve the daily rest? And also...... Bai Ling stopped his thoughts, and it would feel a little awkward to ask any more.

Wei Shishi looked at Bai Ling's suddenly embarrassed expression, "What's wrong?" ”

"Hmm...... I'm just curious," Bai Ling whispered, "How do you usually solve it-"

Before the words "three meals a day" could be spoken, there was another knock on the door outside the courtyard.

The two turned back together.

"Bai Siyao," the voices of the brocade guards came, "someone is coming from the palace, you can come out." ”

Bai Ling lowered her head and smiled, she gently patted Wei Shixi's arm, and said in a low voice, "I'll ask again next time I have time." ”

Bai Ling was soon left alone in the courtyard, she stepped forward to open the door, and sure enough, she saw a palace man wearing the red robe of the celebrant standing behind the brocade guard, the person had a cold face and a raw face.

"Bai Siyao, there are some things that depend on you over there in Qinyuan, and Gonggong Yuan sent us to take you into the palace."

Bai Ling's eyes were slightly bright.

So fast.

"Are you going now," asked Burling, "can you be an hour later?" ”

"That's right," the palace man nodded, "The slave maid received the order to welcome Si Yao into the palace immediately, what important things do you have to do?" ”

"Our family has ...... lunch today," Bai Ling pointed to the kitchen, "it's not a convenient time. ”

The palace man nodded, replied, and then turned around and called the little eunuch who was following not far away, and whispered to him to go to Baiwei now to ask for a table of wine and food, take the food box and pack it and bring it over.

The little eunuch nodded again and again, "Then what exactly do you want to ......?" ”

"What kind of food do you want, you look at it," the palace man glanced at him coldly, "But if one of the Bai family's father and son says that this meal is not ironed today, you can go to the Shen Penal Division to ask for a board yourself." ”

"Understood, understood......" The little eunuch nodded exaggeratedly, turned around and ran towards the entrance of the alley.

The palace man turned to look at Bai Ling again, and his face returned to his usual indifference and politeness, "In this way, can Bai Siyao leave with us with peace of mind?" ”

Bai Ling looked at the figure of the little eunuch in the distance, and she could almost imagine how this person would speak to the people there after he arrived at Baiwei Tower.

The people here all act like this, from the palace, to the officialdom, to the ordinary people, layer by layer, layer by layer, all the way to the bottom and the bottom, and to those who have no way to retreat.

The expression on Bai Ling's face also turned cold, she glanced at the palace person, and said in a low voice, "I'll go change my clothes, you guys are waiting here." ”

Closing the door, Bai Ling hurried back to the house, but did not change his clothes first.

She quickly took a pen and paper from her father and Bai Yi's room, and hastily left a note, telling Bai Shijun and Bai Yi not to worry about her, she was going to the palace.

This kind of mood of suddenly being summoned and having to leave a note to go first is also experienced by her now.

When she changed her clothes, Bai Ling only felt that every part of her body was slowly cooling down like her mood. She moved quickly, and after changing her clothes, she checked her belt, collar, and every detail in the mirror.

Yuan Zhen came to her.

Yuan Zhen came at this time, only for one thing.

When she opened the door again, Bai Ling had already changed into her best regular clothes, and the palace man at the door took a step back and bowed to greet her, "Please get in the car at the entrance of Bai Siyao Alley." ”

Before the palace people finished speaking, Bai Ling had already walked towards the alley, but the palace people were not annoyed, and still followed Bai Ling with a calm face and walked forward, and after Bai Ling got into the car, with a feminine "up", the carriage began to go in the direction of the palace.

From the alleys to the palace, Bai Ling has walked this road many times, but this time is different from any before.

This time, she wasn't there to save people anymore.
