Chapter 15: Questioning
However, in the face of Guiyi's repeated questions, Baiyuan was stunned. He didn't know how to answer, and he couldn't. looked away from the bright and curious eyes of Shangguiyi in embarrassment.
"This ...... It's a bit complicated. ”
Gui Yi didn't seem to be able to see his embarrassment, and blinked very understandingly, "It's okay, you speak slowly!" It's the first time I've gone out, so I know more about the rules of the royal court, and tomorrow won't be too rude. ”
Hundred Wishes: "......"
Gui Yi sneered in his heart, Baiyuan naturally entered and exited the royal court as he wanted, even if he did something that violated the rules of the royal court and the laws of the dynasty, the king and queen would turn a blind eye.
Just when Bai Yuan was forced by Guiyi's sight and didn't know what to do, Bai Zhen opened his mouth to rescue him.
"It's all my fault, which worries the queen mother. I will go back with you and ask the queen mother for her guilt. ”
Bai Jin looked at Guiyi, "Miss Moyi, do you want to go back with us?" ”
Gui Yi thought for a while and shook his head, "I still have some business, go back a little later, you can go first." ”
In the end, Bai Jin arranged for his subordinates to protect Guiyi, and then he and Bai Yuan left.
On the carriage, Bai Yuan frowned at his brother, "What is the origin of Mo Yi?" I don't think she's dressed up like she came from a small tribe today. But we have never seen this man, not even by name. Do you want to check it out? ”
"I don't know." Bai Jin shook his head, "But since she was invited, her identity is innocent, and as for who she is, she should know tomorrow." ”
"Yes!" I wish to put this thing down and talk about something else.
Lingyun Palace.
Bai Jin knelt down and saluted uprightly, "Bai Zhen greets the queen mother." ”
The queen sitting on the top didn't even look at him, looked down at tomorrow's birthday arrangement, and said in a very cold tone, "Where have you been these days?" ”
"The Queen Mother! The elder brother just met a friend and accompanied her to play in Chuanfang City for a few days, and that friend Erchen had also seen it. Bai Yuan, who was standing aside, looked at his brother and mother, and hurriedly bent down to salute.
"Shut up! I didn't ask you, I asked him! The queen put down the gift list and glared at her stupid son with hatred.
Her eyes were like knives, and she asked Bai Jin, who was kneeling below, "Who is your friend and what is his identity?" In addition to seeing her in the past few days, what other people have you seen that you shouldn't have seen and what you shouldn't have done? ”
"Please let the queen mother know. I didn't know that friend much earlier than Baiyuan, and besides...... Our two brothers still don't know her identity, but we know that she was also invited to this birthday party. ”
"Secondly, I don't have any friends in Chuanfang City, and I rarely go out of the royal court, and I will never do anything out of bounds. In the past few days, we have been playing in Chuanfang City, and we have not intentionally concealed our whereabouts, and the queen mother will know it as soon as she checks it. ”
Bai Jin's voice is humble and calm. Although he kneels, his posture is straight and he has his own bearing.
His appearance made the queen even more angry in her eyes.
"When I found my brother, he was enjoying the scenery with his friends on the observation deck, and I thought that what my brother said was true. The queen mother will have a birthday banquet tomorrow, why be angry about this matter. ”
The queen ignored Bai Yuan, and stared straight at Bai Jin, "No matter how you quibble, if I find any clues, hum!" Don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
"Yes!" Bai Jin's eyebrows were lowered, and he saluted respectfully, "If the queen mother has no other instructions, then Bai Jin will retire first." ”
"Hmm." The queen replied very coldly.
"The sons also retired." Without giving the queen a chance to speak, Bai Yuan was ready to sneak out of Lingyun Palace.
"Wish, you stay, the queen mother has something to ask you."
Ruan Tianyou left a hundred wishes, and asked Bai Jin about the past few days, focusing on the friend in his mouth.
After learning that the friend was a woman, Ruan Tianyou's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"This white-eyed wolf is really restless! I hope that you will have less contact with him in the future, as far as your temperament is concerned, how can you compare to him who is full of calculations! ”
"The Queen Mother! I'm going to check tomorrow's armament, so I'll go first. ”
Seeing that Baiyuan couldn't listen to her, the queen hurriedly made a reason to leave, angry and anxious, "This stupid boy! You have to be planted in his hands to believe that what the queen mother said is true! ”
Ruan Zhi, who rushed over, hurriedly comforted her, "Auntie, don't worry, you can teach your cousin slowly in the future." Besides, my cousin is just pure and upright. Isn't the king's favorite cousin his sincere and upright character? ”
Although the queen was worried about Baiyuan, she felt a lot better when she heard Ruan Zhen's words, "You send someone to check it out, and after the banquet, I will worry about him!" ”
"Yes! Aunt! ”
……
The queen's birthday banquet was held in the Guangling Palace, where the king received the banquet and invited foreign envoys.
Ministers, princes, tribal leaders, etc., who are qualified to participate, have already arrived one after another.
When Gui Yi followed Mo Wenqing and Gui Ziyan into Guangling Palace, it was already a lively scene. Her gaze swept over the audience, not stopping at Ruan Zhen, who was staring at her in surprise, and deliberately paying attention to the man who was sitting in the back corner and flirting with the maid.
The man was dressed in a dazzling orange-red brocade robe, and he sat there without a straight appearance, a pair of narrow eyes did not add any majesty to him, and the tails of his eyes were upturned, bringing the romantic charm of his body to the extreme.
"Yi'er, what are you looking at?" Gui Ziyan was afraid that she would be nervous when she first arrived on such an occasion, so she took her hand and asked softly.
"Nothing!" Gui Yi retracted his gaze and followed his father and mother towards his position under the gaze of everyone.
She sat down and looked to the right of the front, facing a man in gray. In this piece of brocade clothes, this man is very conspicuous.
Yes, at this time, he is not dead!
The man raised his glass to her in respect, and then did not talk to anyone around him, drinking there alone.
Mo Wenqing paid attention to her gaze, "That's my father's friend, and my chess skills are very profound." ”
"Really? I must see it when I have the chance. Gui Ying curled the corners of her lips, as if she was very interested.
When Guiyi observed everyone, he didn't know that because of the arrival of their family of three, there was a moment of silence at the scene. After that, most of the topics that were discussed privately were about them.
"It's not easy to see Mo Jun and the goddess attending the banquet together in my lifetime!" This is the aristocrat of the dynasty's internal service, looking like watching a play.
"Living in two places, it is common not to be in one place, even if you see it every time you see it in the royal court, it is businesslike, is this still a husband and wife?"
"But I haven't heard rumors of the two competing against each other over the years, this is really like ice!"
"Is this the pearl of Mo Jun and the goddess? Finally willing to bring it out! More people are curious about the noble lady of this dynasty.
"Isn't Mo Jun's daughter frail and recuperating all year round and not suitable to see people? Now looking at the appearance of this young god, he doesn't look like a frail person at all, he~~ This boring banquet is really getting more and more interesting! The man in the orange and red brocade in the corner, leaning over and supporting his head with his hands, tasted wine with a charming eye and a half-squinted eye.
