Chapter 14: Princely Identity
"Then I'll give it to you!"
Gui Yi took out another hairpin from her sleeve, which was made of the same material as the one on her head, but it was carved with pale yellow plum blossoms.
"White goes well with you, but you can experiment with other colors once in a while. However, this hairpin is only made of ordinary stone, but it does not match the nobility of the son. ”
"Thank you, the girl!" Bai Zhen took it without hesitation and looked at it carefully, "I like it very much!" ”
At this time, although there were only three days before the queen's birthday banquet.
But these three days are the happiest days in the past and present life! Every day, she can see Baijin, and every day Baijin accompanies her to visit the scenery of Chuanfang City, and looks for the food of Chuanfang City together......
It's just that the atmosphere on the other side is not very good.
Royal Court, Lingyun Palace.
"Bai Jin is not in the royal court?"
"Yes, Auntie. I've already sent someone to the Water Temple to investigate, and it seems that I haven't been back to the royal court for a few days. Ruan Zhen waited carefully on the side, respectfully and closely.
The queen let her niece take over the work of the maid, and carefully groomed her hair, but her mind was focused on Bai Jin.
"On weekdays, he pretends to be well-behaved, and he looks like he has no desires, but now he hasn't exposed his wolf ambitions!" She sneered.
"Auntie, tomorrow is your birthday banquet, Bai Jin doesn't dare not be there, he won't be able to leave Chuanfang City these days. What could he do in Chuanfang City? Maybe it's just going for a walk? Ruan Zhen said hesitantly.
"You know what you are! You're still too young! ”
The queen put down the flower dew in her hand and taught her niece seriously.
"Bai Jin is inseparable from the wish on weekdays, and he looks like he is looking forward to the wish of the horse, but it is just for us to relax our vigilance. Now that Yuan'er is still in the royal court, he has disappeared for several days, isn't this an ulterior motive! ”
Ruan Zhen thought about it carefully, and his face was gloomy, "Recently, there have been many powerful people in Fang City, could it be that he is escaping from our sight and making friends with powerful people in private?" ”
The queen looked like a teachable child, and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad." Although he had military power in his hands, his troops were twice as small as those in Yuan'er's hands, and he was trapped in such a bitter cold place, unable to move. If he wants to compete with us, he can only work on the magnates of these princes and tribes. ”
"It's a pity that Yuan'er has been too straight since he was a child, and he doesn't like those friendships, how many times have I said it, and he doesn't like to listen."
Ruan Tianyou took Ruan Zhen's hand and said earnestly: "In the future, you have to work hard in this regard, and you can be a virtuous helper in the future." ”
Ruan Zhen couldn't hide her joy when she heard this, and responded happily, "Yes, aunt!" Zhen'er will learn from her aunt hard, listen to her aunt's teachings, and live up to her aunt's expectations! ”
"Go, good boy. I must get Bai Jin back before it gets dark today, I want to see how he can explain to me after he has left the royal court without permission for so many days! ”
"Yes!" Ruan Zhen respectfully bent down and raised his hand to salute, and walked away quickly.
Not long after leaving Lingyun Palace, Ruan Zhen met Bai Yuan, who came to visit the queen.
"Cousin!" Ruan Zhen greeted him happily and saluted gracefully.
Bai Yuan nodded at her and asked, "Where are you going in such a hurry?" ”
"His Royal Highness hasn't returned for a few days, and my aunt asked me to find His Highness back." Ruan Zhen looked at Bai Yuan with a supple face.
Bai Yuan frowned slightly, "Brother Jing hasn't come back for a few days?" ”
"Yes! Cousin, who knows the face but doesn't know the heart, where you can't see, who knows what he did? Therefore he who guards against others must not be left without ......"
Bai Yuan's originally somewhat disturbed look, after hearing these words, his face immediately turned cold.
"That's it! Brother Guangfeng Jiyue, he has always been clean and self-conscious, don't let me hear such words again in the future! ”
"Cousin......" Ruan Zhen was angry!
I feel aggrieved because Bai Yuan trained himself like this for a lowly person from a slave background.
Baiyuan turned a blind eye to her grievances, and said strongly: "I have a deep brotherhood with my brother, if you still recognize me as a cousin, don't slander my brother!" Otherwise, don't call me cousin in the future! ”
Ruan Zhen tried his best to restrain his anger, put on a stiff smile on his face, and saluted Baiyuan, "It's really wrong, and I will never do it again in the future." ”
Bai Yuan didn't care whether she was sincere or fake, and said directly: "You don't have to go out, I'll go find my brother back." ”
He turned around and walked a few steps, looking back at Ruan Zhen, "Don't let the queen mother know about this matter!" ”
"Yes, cousin!"
Ruan Zai was stunned in place, walked in the direction of the gate of the royal court, and went back to his palace.
Chuanfang City, Biyun Pavilion.
On the observation deck, Bai Jin and Gui Yi enjoyed the scenery and drank tea while talking about the Wenhui downstairs.
Bai Yuan broke in directly, and the person arrived before he could make a sound, "Brother really told me to be easy to find!" ”
Bai Jin waved his hand at the apologous waiter who failed to stop Bai Yuan, and motioned for him to go down first.
"Why are you here?" Seeing him sit down casually beside him, Bai Jin poured him a cup of tea and introduced Gui Yi, "This is the hundred wishes of the younger brother, you saw it not long ago." ”
As for Guiyi, Bai Yuan noticed it as soon as he came, and he didn't wait for Bai Jin to introduce, "Are you Mo Yi girl?" How do you spend time with your brother? ”
"It just happened to happen." Without waiting for Guiyi to speak, Bai Jin answered.
"By the way, you came in such a hurry, is something wrong?"
Baiyuan took a long sip of tea, "What did you say?" You haven't been back to the royal court for a few days, and the queen mother already knows about it. Originally, she sent Ruan Zhen to look for you, but I stopped her. ”
The look in Bai Jin's eyes faded, but with a gentle smile on his face, he saluted Bai Yuan, "So, thank you very much." ”
Bai Yuan waved his hand, but he said: "You don't know the queen mother's temperament, you have to leave the royal court for a few days, why don't you tell me in advance, and I can cover up for you?" ”
"The Queen Mother?" Gui Yi on the side suddenly spoke up, interrupting the conversation between the two brothers.
"Oh, you don't know who we are. This is my brother, His Highness of the dynasty, and I am the king's last son. Seeing her staring at them curiously, Bai Yuan took the initiative to introduce.
Anyway, tomorrow is the queen mother's birthday banquet, and if she attends, she will know sooner or later.
Bai Jin identified himself in Bai Yuan, looked at Gui Yi with worry and apology in his eyes, and raised his hand to salute, "We didn't mean to deceive, just for the convenience of walking outside, and I ask the girl to forgive me." ”
Gui shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.
She turned her head to look at Bai Yuan, with a curious expression, "Listen to you, is there still a rule in the royal court, who else does the prince need to ask for advice when he leaves the royal court?" ”
"When I came out of the royal court that day, I just proved my identity."
"Could it be that every time His Royal Highness goes out, he also needs to ask others for instructions. If you leave the royal court without permission, will you still be punished? ”
"If that's the case, you princes should be ......," Gui Yi shook his head, and the meaning was self-evident.
