Chapter 56: Jade Ruyi

The door curtain opened, and a delicate and delicate beautiful shadow lotus stepped in, matching the host's beautiful voice: "Smelling the fragrance of a room, what are you eating?" ”

The girls hurriedly got up and saluted Ye Shiying, and a room full of warblers and swallows was particularly lively.

"It's all exempt." Ye Shiying is wearing a light blue wide-sleeved tail brocade skirt today, her hair is curled into a double bun, and her melon seed face is beautiful and exquisite.

Lin Yu'er's eyes were filled with excitement, and she couldn't help but hold Ye Shiying's hands, and almost choked up: "Sister Ye, I finally look forward to you." ”

"Sister Lin, I miss you too."

has not met her former boudoir friends for half a year after being married, Ye Shiying is also very moved at the moment, not to mention that they have the best relationship.

Bai Muguan couldn't help but urge a few words: "It's rare for you to meet and talk and laugh, Sister Lin is about to wipe away her tears." ”

"Sister Bai is right." Lin Yu'er nodded in response, and then turned her gaze to Ye Shiying, and it was not difficult to find the haggard and gloomy in her eyes.

How a woman lives after marriage can't deceive people, it's all written on her face and expression. When she was not out of the pavilion, Ye Shiying was the treasure held in the palm of the hand by Mrs. Ye and his wife, stroking the piano and reading every day, and chatting with friends in the boudoir. How can she be like a canary in prison like now, with no freedom, and she needs to be cautious in what she says and speaks in the face of her indifferent husband, lest she accidentally anger him.

Ye Shiying had just arrived for a moment, and Wang Quan followed suit, accompanied by a palace attendant. Facing Bai Muguan, Wang Quan smiled with his eyebrows: "Congratulations to Miss Bai on her birthday, Your Majesty sent Gonggong Wu to give you a reward." ”

When the girls heard this, their expressions suddenly changed, and even Bai Muguan was stunned, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time. You must know that the emperor's imperial gift and the gift of the emperor, none of the nobles in the capital have ever had such an honor, it is simply the grace of the first person who has never been seen before or since. I have to admit that Bai Muguan's luck is too good!

Wang Quan looked at her shocked and suspicious appearance, and hurriedly smiled playfully: "Gonggong Wu is here, Miss Bai is not happy to thank you." ”

Bai Muguan raised his eyes to see the young and handsome chamberlain next to Wang Quan, and hurriedly thanked him: "Courtier, Bai Muguan, thank Your Majesty Longen." ”

The chamberlain picked her up with a happy face, handed over a small rectangular brocade box with both hands, and said with a smile: "The reward next to me is nothing more than some silk satin, gold and silver jewelry, Your Majesty said not to worry." Only the contents of this box were personally selected by His Majesty, and he specially instructed the servants to hand them over to Miss Bai. ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Bai Muguan took the brocade box, and saw that the waiter had no intention of leaving but waited for her to open it immediately, so he carefully opened the brocade box.

Everyone came over curiously, and took a look, only to see a jade Ruyi placed in the brocade box. Ruyi is exquisitely carved, and it is the most priceless imperial green, emerald green, crystal shining, and green silk is suspended.

Ruyi, satisfied.

Not only is it priceless, but it also has a profound meaning. The emperor specially gave this thing to Bai Muguan, which secretly suited her wishes.

It is a great grace to make the Son of Heaven satisfied, and it shows the Holy Grace!

At this time, the clever Gonggong Wu smiled very flatteringly, and said flatteringly: "I don't know if Miss Bai likes it?" The slave was ordered to go to various mansions to give rewards for so many years, and the first time I saw His Majesty's reward, Miss Bai was fortunate to be in His Majesty's eyes, which is really a great blessing, and there will be creation in the future. ”

He entered the palace at the age of fourteen, and was selected by Gao Zhan to serve in Chaoyang Palace at the age of sixteen, and it has been eight years since then. Because he is good at observing words and feelings, figuring out the master's mind, he speaks and acts exquisitely and naturally has a face. Over the years, he has also read countless people, and the saint has such a strong lady, but Bai Muguan is the only one.

With the favor of the prince and the approval of His Majesty, she can be described as having a bright future. Wu Gonggong's heart is bright, and it is not a bad thing to have a good relationship at this time.

"Thank you, father-in-law." She was neither humble nor arrogant, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

"The slave has finished his errand, and it's time to go back to the palace to resume his life." After saying that, he turned around and was about to go out, Bi Long hurriedly stepped forward to reward, and knew that the weight of the purse was not light, and when he stepped out of the door, Gonggong Wu smiled even more happily.

The royal power is naturally to be sent to Gonggong Wu. Yao Xilin looked at the jade Ruyi in Bai Muguan's hand, and couldn't help but provoke a conversation: "Your Majesty appreciates Sister Bai so much, should it be because you want to include you in the harem in the next year's draft and make you a mother." ”

Bai Muguan was embarrassed and annoyed by what he said, and retorted coquettishly: "I only know that I am loyal and patriotic, and I don't dare to think nonsense." If Miss Yao has this intention, she may wish to wait for His Majesty to show her skills in the next year's draft. ”

Yao Xilin's expression did not change, and she responded with a smile: "Where can a woman like me who is clumsy and clumsy, enter His Majesty's dragon eye?" Your Majesty must be a talented girl who likes both civil and military affairs. ”

"Sister Yao, stop joking, beware of you annoying Sister Bai for a while, we can't beat her in a room combined." As she spoke, Shen Fu pretended to be worried and sighed, making everyone laugh.

Sun Hui, the second daughter of the Ministry of Rites, who was invited today, asked coldly: "Now that His Royal Highness the Third Prince has not married a concubine, I wonder if Sister Bai has the heart to marry the Third Prince?" ”

The girls of the boudoir get together and occasionally talk about the marriage of men and women, and it is not rude to gossip behind closed doors.

The Three Princes? Bai Muguan shook his head with a smile: "I only have a one-sided relationship with the third prince, and I don't want to talk about marriage." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, everyone has their own ambitions, Sister Bai may not be greedy for royal wealth in her heart, right?" After speaking, Shen Fu looked at Bai Muguan with a friendly face, but inadvertently noticed the bitterness on Ye Shiying's lips.

Bai Muguan's eyes flashed, and he was noncommittal about what Shen Fu had just said.

"Mu Guan, today is your birthday, and you will grow up from now on. I personally embroidered a picture of a mandarin duck playing in the water for you, and I hope you will find a heart of people who will not be separated. Ye Shiying doesn't like to say much, and now that she has a noble status, if she talks too much, it will make them uncomfortable, and she didn't speak slowly until this moment.

As soon as the words fell, Haoyue held a picture of a mandarin duck playing in the water with excellent embroidery, and Xiangyun hurriedly took it for Bai Muguan.

Everyone present praised Ye Shiying's female redness, but Bai Muguan was silent.

Mandarin ducks come in pairs, which usually means that two people are happy with each other. She deliberately avoided Ye Shiying these days, but Ye Shiying must know that she and Yu Wenye have the same heart, so is this embroidery recognized?

Seeing that she was silent, Ye Shiying laughed softly: "What, could it be that you dislike meager gifts?" ”

"Of course not, my sister's gift is very meaningful." After a pause, Bai Muguan lowered his eyes, "Thank you, sister." ”

Ye Shiying stretched out her hand to caress her fair and bright face, and said softly: "As long as you are happy, it is enough." ”

Due to the presence of other people, it was inconvenient for Bai Muguan to say more, and there was a firm smile in his eyes.

At lunchtime, Bai Muguan prepared a table of banquets to entertain the guests, and the delicacies delivered by the small kitchen were very rich. More than 20 dishes such as chicken soup with sea mussels, stewed golden hook wings, braised duck, ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup, Zhaoji abalone cup, Qizhen acacia soup, plum blossom tofu and so on are placed on a table.

The girls talked and laughed, drank some warm Xinghuacun Fen wine in winter, and the scene was very lively and lively. After lunch, the maid brought a few exquisite pastries, and everyone laughed and asked Bai Muguan to eat more longevity noodles.

The winter sun is short and fleeting. Generally, the sun is about to set after noon, and several ladies leave one after another, and when they leave, Xiangyun filled each person with some special pastries made in the small kitchen of the East Palace. Everyone dispersed, and Ye Shiying also got up and went back to Qiushui Pavilion.

Of course, there is one exception, that is Bai Mingnuan, she relies on her cousin's identity to be dead and does not leave, and Bai Muguan can't directly pick her up. As for the reason why she didn't leave, she came today with the idea of seeing Yu Wenye, and she didn't see him all morning, how could she be willing to leave?

"Miss, she's not gone yet." Xiangyun came back from the side hall, pouted and muttered, "It's so thick-skinned." ”

Bai Mingnuan was reluctant to leave, Bai Muguan was not a master to be messed with, so he found a reason to leave her in the side hall, serving her with good tea and snacks, but she would not accompany the guests in person.

Too lazy to take care of Bai Mingnuan, the girl changed the topic: "What about Your Highness?" ”

Xiangyun pursed her lips and replied with a smile: "Your Highness has already sent someone to ask if the guests have left, and the slave said that she had just sent them away." ”

Bai Muguan sat in front of the mirror and changed her earrings, and asked with a playful smile: "Your Highness, come here, what are you happy about?" ”

Xiangyun stuck out her tongue and shrugged innocently: "Isn't the slave happy for you!" ”

Bai Muguan glared at her, and the corners of his mouth curled with joy.

At this moment, the familiar and steady footsteps came from far and near, and soon his handsome face came into view.

Xiangyun quickly slipped out after saluting, Bai Muguan turned to stare at him, and called softly with a smile: "Brother Ye." ”

Yu Wenye leaned over and looked down at the girl in front of him carefully, she was even more beautiful like a flower with exquisite makeup, which amazed him.

"Today is your birthday, I invited a few ladies to come and accompany you to have a good time, are you happy? Do you like the gift sent by your father? Is the menu for today's lunch to taste? ”

He asked one after another, causing her to take a spit. At the end, she replied one by one: "I like everything you have arranged for me." I was dumbfounded by the jade Ruyi sent by His Majesty, and the implication of this is worth pondering. ”

She couldn't figure out why the emperor would pay attention to her birthday? What's more, this ceremony is too decent, vaguely hinting at something.

Seeing her puzzled expression, Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows and smiled, and explained: "My father relies on General Bai, and I also appreciate your bravery and fearlessness in daring to go to the battlefield at a young age. ”

Of course, he would not tell her that this glorious grace and dignity had been obtained for her before.

The girl raised her head proudly: "My father is the god of war of the Cullinan Dynasty, fighting for his family and country, putting life and death aside, it is indeed admirable. I'm so far from my father. ”

Yu Wenye patted her shoulder and said firmly: "I believe that one day, you will be better than the blue." ”

He is optimistic about her, although she is only in her best years this year, others have not yet discovered her shining pearl. But he knows her, she not only has great ambitions, but also has the talent to win thousands of miles away.

Bai Muguan's laughter was like a silver bell, pretending to be a reserved blessing salute: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kind words." ”

Yu Wenye stood opposite her, half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and the girl in front of her grew a lot taller, but she still looked delicate and small standing in front of him.

"Guanguan, time flies, I still remember that day by the lotus pond I fell in love with you at first sight, and I will want you to be by my side for a long time for the rest of my life, and never give up. After today, you will be considered an adult, and I will ask my father to marry you to me as soon as possible, and we will be in the same boat in the future. He looked affectionate, and his eyes and eyebrows were much softer.

Bai Muguan stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around his waist, and her pleasant voice sounded in her ears, and her words were said after careful consideration: "Now that the court is a pool of muddy water, Your Majesty is unpredictable, you and I don't have to rush about the marriage." Outsiders only know that you are noble and noble, but I know that you are surrounded by dangers, and you are overwhelmed by murderous methods such as assassination and poisoning. Those people are hot on your position as the prince, and they can't wait to get rid of you. I said that I understand you, naturally I will not let you be distracted by the love of your children at this time, I will first accompany you as a confidante to help you share your worries, and then ask Your Majesty for marriage when the time is right. ”

Her eyes overflowed with sincerity, and his heartstrings fluttered. This girl thinks about him in everything, even if she is not the daughter of General Mobei, he Yu Wenye is also willing to cherish Rubao.

Yu Wenye, who was accustomed to indifference and hypocrisy, was moved at this moment, and couldn't wait to swear to the sky, blurting out: "I will live up to Guan Qing in this life." ”

Unexpectedly, Bai Muguan removed the smile from the corner of his mouth and asked lightly: "How can you talk about losses and losses between monarchs and ministers?" ”

He is the future Son of Heaven, and she is his courtier. Even if you are a queen, you need to be careful in front of the emperor. How much more does he have a wife now? There is no way she can be a queen.

Yu Wenye didn't get annoyed but laughed, and after laughing, he said seriously: "I, Yu Wenye, am happy with Bai Muguan, and I don't talk about the distinction between monarchs and ministers in this life, only about husband and wife." ”

"Husband and wife are one, and each other is at ease." After speaking, Bai Muwan's creamy face was stained red.

Husband and wife......

She has reached the end of her life, and sooner or later, they will become a real husband and wife. Her lack of urgency does not mean that she is not eager to marry him, on the contrary, she hopes to be the woman he justifies. In the future, I will bear children for him, and I will grow old with him.
