In the early morning of the next day, Ye Shiying naturally woke up very early because she remembered that Bai Muguan would return to Beijing today.

Put on the blue embroidered lotus flower and tie long skirt of the water lake, take a pair of mutton fat white jade steps and shake up the three thousand hair, the face of the thin powder is fair and crystal clear, and it looks like a fairy from a distance. Ye Shiying really deserves the reputation of the first beauty in Beijing.

Not long after breakfast in the flower hall, I saw the maid Qing'er walking into the hall with a smile and a crisp voice: "Crown Princess Qi, the chief manager is here." ”

Ye Shiying put down the blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand and said with a smile: "Please come in." ”

Except for Haoyue, who is a wedding maid, Qing'er and Xing'er, the other close maids in the East Palace, have their own strengths, and they are quite outstanding. Ye Shiying also sent someone to check their details in advance, but they were all clean, so she was relieved. Unlike Qing'er, who loves to laugh, is clever and lively and likable, Xing'er, who is a few years older, is usually taciturn, but she is also very capable and steady.

"Say hello to the crown princess." Wang Quanfu saluted, and his attitude was quite respectful. Even if he knows that the so-called princess in front of him is not favored or pleased, but the master is always the master, and it is not the turn of the slave to snub.

"Mr. Wang came here early in the morning, why don't you say anything?" As she spoke, Ye Shiying smiled kindly.

Wang Quan was not ambiguous, and said straight to the point: "Back to the crown princess, last night His Royal Highness ordered the old slave to clean up the Qingyun Pavilion, and wait for Miss Bai to come to the East Palace in the afternoon and move in directly." I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the princess to take a look for herself in a while, if you need to add some furnishings or objects, you can send someone directly to the treasury to get it. His Royal Highness also instructed that if Miss Bai wanted to cut new clothes or create new jewelry, she should only pay money from the account of the East Palace and not be stingy. ”

Yu Wenye is generous!

After hearing this, Ye Shiying felt a chill in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "I know, there is a manager of King Lao who thanked His Highness for me." ”

The long-experienced royal power can naturally see through Ye Shiying's smile that hides a little imperceptible bitterness. The indifferent and arrogant prince would actually have a heart for a young lady he had never met, and even he was secretly surprised by this matter! The prince has always been clean and self-conscious, but now there is such a beautiful princess in the backyard of the East Palace, the prince is cold and indifferent, why does he suddenly pay attention to Miss Biao's food, clothing, housing and transportation now? The kingship is difficult to understand.

"Since the crown princess has nothing else to order, the old slave will retire first." After that, the royal power left on its own.

It is said that Yu Wenye played the emperor in the name of the crown princess Ye Shiying, and Bai Muguan stayed in the East Palace for a while after returning to Beijing. One is that the Bai family is an upstart, Bai Zhanyi was born in a poor family and is not from the capital, and his parents have passed away for many years. Most of the uncles and brothers of the same clan did not serve as officials in the capital. Now that Bai Muguan has returned to Beijing alone, his residence is indeed a little difficult. The second emperor also had the intention to keep her in the capital under his nose, so as to involve Bai Zhanyi, who held military power far away in the northern frontier of Mobei. Therefore, it was gladly granted.

After the early dynasty, Bai Muguan, who had just arrived in the capital, entered the palace to face the saint on behalf of her father, and then she went to the military department to file according to the ceremony. It was only in the afternoon that she was brought into the East Palace by the carriage and horse sent by Yu Wenye.

Although the early autumn in the capital is not as hot and dry as the dog days, it is not autumn after all. It is about to rain, and it has been extremely hot and uncomfortable these days. There are ice sculptures of different sizes placed everywhere in the Qiushui Pavilion, and there are two maids in the hall who are responsible for shaking the wind wheel to enjoy the coolness.

"Miss Cousin is here!"

I saw Qing'er walking in front to lead the way for the girl in white, followed by a group of maids carrying soft boxes.

Not far away, Haoyue stood in front of the courtyard and commanded: "Quickly send Miss Biao's luggage to Qingyun Pavilion." ”

"Qingyun Pavilion?" Bai Muguan blinked subconsciously and read it lightly with uncertainty.

Without waiting for Haoyue to explain, Qing'er hurriedly smiled and said: "Miss Biao, don't you know, Qingyun Pavilion was originally the dormitory of the princes of the East Palace, but a few years ago, His Royal Highness changed the rules and moved out of Qingyun Pavilion, and has been staying in the study since then. ”

After hearing this, Bai Muguan's maid Xiangyun, who was accompanying him this time, immediately answered: "Qingyun Pavilion will know that it is a good name as soon as you hear it!" It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the heart to wish Miss you to be able to rise to the top in the future. ”

Qingyun goes up to 3,000 feet, which means profound.

"I see." Bai Muguan was stunned, pondered for a moment before recovering his expression, and then asked, "What about my sister?" ”

Haoyue replied with a smile: "The crown princess is waiting for you in the palace." ”

In the hall, Ye Shiying was looking forward to it.

The fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl is wearing a simple and capable white dress, with a white hosta that is as transparent as water to stand up her green silk and ink hair, the curly ends of her hair are as smart as seaweed, and her face is naturally beautiful without powder, and this outfit is heroic and cool.

"Mu Wan meets the princess's sister, sister don't come unharmed." Like the bright eyes of the apricot, Bai Muguan's voice is tactful and light.

"Come over and let my sister see you."

Ye Shiying smiled and took her cousin's hand, and looked at her carefully by the way.

is completely different from Ye Shiying's delicate and beautiful beauty, Bai Muguan has delicate and distinct facial features, green eyebrows are not painted but as delicate as distant mountains, apricot eyes are like water and mist, the bridge of the nose is high, and the lips are plump and ruddy. Therefore, although she shows people without makeup, her smile is still bright and bright like a spring flower in March, and she shines like a spring flower at a young age.

The two sisters sat side by side, the smile on Ye Shiying's face was beautiful and decent, and she swept away the gloomy color after marrying into the East Palace: "I haven't seen you for a few years, I can't imagine that my sister is so beautiful and generous." I don't know if my uncle and aunt who are far away in Mobei are okay? ”

"Sister Lao is worried, and everything is fine with my father and mother." Bai Muguan smiled, "I haven't seen you for a few years, does my sister miss me?" ”

Next to her, Haoyue was serving tea, and she kindly interjected: "The crown princess misses Miss Biao every day. Miss Cousin, you may not know that the crown princess is very envious of your heroic appearance in galloping on the field! ”

Hearing this, Bai Muguan sneered, and almost squirted out a sip of tea: "Sister will envy me?" My mother taught me at home all day long, asking me to learn to be a lady like my sister. ”

"You, in the blink of an eye in the past few years, I see that your temperament has not changed at all!" After saying that, Ye Shiying reached out dotingly and nodded the tip of Bai Muguan's delicate and small nose.

"My grandmother said that my sister was as quiet as autumn leaves, and I was as bright as a spring flower. We are all good and bad. My sister is too quiet and easy to be forgotten and left out. And I'm too flamboyant, and it's easy to provoke right and wrong. Bai Muguan pursed his lips, thought about it and said, "Everyone in the world says that the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, and temperament is something that everyone is destined to do, and it is destined not to change much." ”

Her words were disproved many years later when her own temperament changed dramatically.

Ye Shiying covered her mouth and smiled lightly, and her demeanor was very reserved: "It's rare that you still remember your grandmother's teachings." ”

"My grandmother was always strict, and my uncle's sisters and brothers were afraid of her. When I was a child, I was naughty, my sister was obedient, and my grandmother was partial to our two granddaughters. Bai Muguan couldn't help but fall into the good memories of a few years ago, paused and said, "I don't know if my grandmother is still healthy in the past few years?" This time, I went back to Beijing to face the saint in place of my father, and His Majesty was very pleased to see me, and today he made an exception for the royal pen to personally appoint me as the general of the fourth grade. ”

Although she, the four-rank general, is in name only, she is still hated by many people for no reason. After all, since the founding of the Cullinan Dynasty, it was the first time that a woman was awarded the honor of being an official.

Ye Shiying nodded with a smile: "My grandmother is very healthy, and several sisters and brothers in the Rongguo Mansion have also grown up, so you should stay in Beijing for a while when you return to Beijing this time." ”

At this point, Bai Muguan frowned unconsciously: "Your Majesty's sacred heart is unpredictable, and you will not let me go easily if you allow me to return to Beijing." ”

The Son of Heaven has been very suspicious in recent years, and using her to contain Bai Zhanyi without spending a single soldier is undoubtedly the best policy.

However, if the general leads the troops to the battle, regardless of success or failure, after the end of the war, he must personally report the battle in detail. The situation in Mobei is complicated, and Bai Zhanyi is really inseparable, so Bai Muguan can't escape from this trip to the capital. Once she returns to Beijing, the rest is under the control of the Son of Heaven.

"You are also your daughter's family, how can you stay at the border and fight for the rest of your life? Don't think about it so much just yet. Ye Shiying stretched out her hand to stroke the broken hair on Bai Muguan's sideburns, and said softly, "Actually, it is also beneficial for you to stay in the capital, not only will Your Majesty be less jealous, but I will also be able to help you choose Ruyi Langjun in two years." ”

Bai Muguan is not in a hurry to get married yet, but he is also at the age of paying attention to the young man.

Unlike other girls who are shy and shy when they mention marriage, Bai Muguan leaned her head on Ye Shiying's shoulder, and muttered coquettishly: "Sister, where is it good to marry?" I don't want to get married, and if I have to marry, I want to marry a husband who is in love with each other! ”

She Bai Muguan's marriage should not be at the mercy of others, if she is unwilling, she would rather fight to the death than compromise easily.

Ye Shiying's face quietly changed, where is it good to marry? Especially blind marriages and dumb marriages don't like each other, and men can still have three wives and four concubines, no matter how bad they are, what about women? If you marry like her Ye Shiying, it's really better not to marry! It's a pity that they don't have the right to choose at all, they were born in Zhong Mingding's family, and they have enjoyed the wealth of fine clothes and jade food since they were children, and they can control the fate of others, but they can't control where they should go.

The title of crown princess, which is envied by thousands of people, once became a royal wife, Ye Shiying is not uncommon. How she doesn't want Bai Muguan to marry into the royal family in the future, let alone become the second her.
