Chapter Twenty-Eight: Tribute Agate
Bai Xiyan's question made his heart flutter, everyone looked at it, waiting for words, but it was also regarded as a play, and Hui Yaohou drank the wine silently without changing his face, and the city lord also looked like watching a play.
At this time, the eldest princess slowly got up and walked over, "The second sister is confused, isn't it good for the little sister to come back?" We are all descendants of the Phoenix, wouldn't we be lucky to have the blessing of our ancestors for generations?"
Bai Xiyan couldn't answer for a while, like a wilted flower,
"Mother, my little sister is young, no matter what, it's good to come back safely, besides, it's the New Year again, it should be lively, but some small things, the mother queen~, my daughter is willing to dance a song, and I hope the mother queen will be happy." Bai Qiuhua is always like this, slowly and powerfully, but it is more and more like Yiyun's style, and sure enough, the two of them will become more and more similar after staying for a long time.
"In that case, let's hurry up, this palace also wants to see it! Whoever comesββ, pack it up immediately! The queen smiled, dignified.
Everything was quiet, Bai Yi helped Yu Qi over, without words, but he knew everything in his heart.
The music started, the first to come was the dancing queen, the eldest princess went to change clothes, and people toasted to each other and drank. Laughter resumed.
The things on the table are all things that Bai Yi has never seen or often eat, but the "Heart Lotus Heart" is very beautiful, the main thing is the fat lotus seeds, Yu Qi smiled, knelt down, peeled it off, and put it on Bai Yi's plate.
Bai Yi laughed, looked at Yu Qi, raised his finger to Yu Qi's eyes, and said, "It hurts." β
Yu Qi immediately looked at both sides, saw that there was no one, lowered his head, "Princess~"
"Nobody knows, hurry up." Bai Yimin smiled,
Yu Qi picked up a lotus seed on the plate for a while, looked around again, Bai Yi opened his mouth, ate it in one bite, and the moment he touched Yu Qi's hand, Yu Qi immediately shrank back.
After Bai Yi ate it, he realized that the more he chewed, the sweeter it became, "A little more, it's delicious." β
"Princess~"
"Okay, okay, can't you eat it yourself?" Bai Yi picked it up and threw it in his mouth.
After Bai Yi ate it, he peeled it off by himself, but the edges of the nails were a little uneven, the nails were dyed pale green, and the lotus seeds were peeled into a lump of east and west, and it took a long time to peel off a little.
Just peeled off, changed the music, the dancing girl retreated, the maid walked around with incense, accompanied by the dancing girl came, the petals were sprinkled, the long sleeves were flicked on both sides, the middle was opened, the clothes of the Grand Duke were fluttering and rotating, and the fairy spirit was fluttering.
Suddenly, Yiyun blew the flute to accompaniment, which suddenly attracted the ears, and the eldest princess even let go of her movements and danced, dancing like a fairy, giving people a heroic spirit, but with the softness of dance, different from ordinary dance.
Yiyun's flute sound is very ethereal, and it keeps echoing in his ears.
It's just that Bai Yi is not interested in these. has been busy peeling lotus seeds, and there is another person who can't be bored, and pinched the fruit fiercely.
"Aunt Yan, is it okay?" Bai Xiyan asked.
Aunt Yan smiled, "Don't worry, you won't let them take advantage of the loopholes." β
"That's good, let's go, give my sister the wind and wash the dust," Bai Xiyan immediately laughed, picked up the wine glass and walked in front of Bai Yi.
Yu Qi saluted, Bai Yi stopped, looked at the hem of his clothes and knew that it was Bai Xiyan, put down the lotus seeds, spread his hands, Yu Qi stepped forward and wiped it with a handkerchief, "Something?"
"Ho~, is there a sister who talks to her sister like this?"
"Is there a sister who treats her sister like this?"
"I wish my sister well." Bai Xiyan raised his wine glass and drank it himself,
Bai Yi also held up, "I'll be fine." β
"When you're done, go out with me to wake up the bar." Bai Xiyan put down the cup and walked outside.
"Go?" Yu Qi put down the wine glass in Bai Yi's hand.
"Go, why not?" So saying, he went out with him,
Everyone was flattering, drinking and playing, only Yan Gu inadvertently glanced at it, as if smiling rather than laughing.
Outside, the cold wind blows the smell of wine all at once, and the lively inside is like two worlds.
"Say it." Bai Yi was a little impatient, she hated every moment she spent with Bai Xiyan.
Bai Xiyan was not in a hurry, and slowly walked to Bai Yi's side, "My sister is so guarded!" β
Bai Yi was speechless, "Yu Qi, you go over there and wait for me!" β
After Yu Qi left, Bai Xiyan smiled. "My sister came back safely, I always feel like I'm alone!"
Bai Yi chuckled in his heart, as if he had fallen from the air into the thorns, grabbed Bai Xiyan's hand, and suppressed his voice, "Say, where is the person?" β
"Hahaha~, who is it? Who? Aunt Yan, do you know? Bai Xiyan laughed out loud and laughed hard.
This made Bai Yi more and more worried, and he really wanted to swing a whip at her at this moment.
"How can the slave know?"
"Oh, Aunt Yan doesn't know, good sister, sister really can't help it!" Bai Xiyan pulled Bai Yi's hand away.
"What the hell do you know? Saidββ,Bai Xiyan ββ," Bai Yisi grabbed his throat, but Bai Xiyan only smiled, but he didn't say anything, and kept laughing, "You really make me sick." β
Who knows, Bai Xiyan immediately lowered his face, and his eyes became fierce, "You disgust me?" You're not worthy of !! β
"What do you want?" Bai Yi is always like this, he has a heart but is powerless, and he always bows his head to fate again and again,
"Poof~, simple, go in for a while, don't say a word, or alas, your loyal dog will be ...... You know. Bai Xiyan smiled, smiled brightly, patted Bai Yi's shoulder, and walked inside.
Bai Yi was left here alone, and the cold wind was blowing. Surrounded by the night, she looked so lonely and weak, her heart was tense, pressed, making her breathless, she didn't want to be an ant, she didn't want to, but why did such an idea seem so powerless, she really wanted to admit it for a moment!
Bai Yi couldn't help but cross her hands and clasp her body, gorgeous clothes, noble tiara, and delicate makeup, but the person who decorated her was so thin and helpless, as if those things regarded her as an embellishment.
Walking in the snow, Yu Qi surrounded Bai Yi from behind, brushed her hand, Yu Qi's hand warmed Bai Yi's cold hand, Bai Yi greedily sucked the only faint warmth, "Yu Qi~, I am as helpless as you were then,"
"Princess~, didn't Yu Qi come over too? Although I don't know why, Yu Qi feels that he hasn't even returned to the palace yet, this is still the beginning, and the winner is finally clear. Yu Qi's jaw rested on Bai Yi's shoulder, and the breath lingered around his neck, Bai Yi was a little itchy,
"Yu Qi~, I just want the people around me to be okay, but my father, Sister Junsu, Yulan, I can't protect any of them, I'm afraid, I'm too afraid." Bai Yi closed his eyes and sighed softly,
Yu Qi wrapped his hands tighter,
β¦β¦
Bai Yi dragged his body in, the ornaments on his body were out of breath, sat down, peeled the lotus seeds again, and no longer cut them with his fingernails to take them out, but crushed and squeezed them out.
Princess Celestia walked over, "I didn't see you just now,"
"Just breathed a little bit outside."
"Also, there are many people, and it's good to breathe."
"What can be right and wrong? It's just that you're ready to discourage me! β
"Don't think about it, rest well as soon as it's over today, and don't see the people you don't want to see!"
"Hmm,"
"By the way, did you put away the agate?"
Bai Yi looked at his body with a questioning face, "What agate?"
"It's the green one, I remembered it when I left the palace, and when I saw that you weren't there, I thought you put it away!" Bai Qiuhua also helped to look around, "Remember that this is a rare thing." β
Bai Yi was a little panicked when he said this, "It's just an agate,"
"It is agate, and it is also a tribute to Yaolou, which was sent by Yaolou after the recovery of Yaolou that year,"
"And how can this be given to me?" Bai Yi was puzzled.
"I don't know, maybe the housekeepers made a mistake and took it out!"
"So what now. Big sister~"
"I have a similar agate, like a pair, I don't know who sent it, I asked Yiyun to fetch it, and I prevaricated at a critical time," Bai Qiuhua thought for a long time.
"Thank you."
"It's fine."
After saying that, Yiyun left to get it. Bai Qiuhua talked with the city lord.
Yu Qi leaned into his ear, "Princess, a bead, as for it?" β
"Agate is small, it would be a big sin to lose the tribute, someone deliberately gave me this dress from the beginning, and I also deliberately gave it to me again when I came back."
"What is the princess going to do? Do you believe in Celestia so much? β
"After my father entered the cold palace, it was the third brother and the eldest sister who took me, the eldest sister has a lot of things, but she still comes to see me from time to time, she may only worry about whether the throne is in her hands, besides, what if you don't believe it now?"
"If you knew it earlier, you wouldn't be sick."
"Not coming? She still has a reason to make things difficult, her tricks never stop, she never has anything to do, and I have been teased by her every day I don't know how many times. I'd like to see how many tricks she has left, and how long she has to play! Bai Yi finished speaking in one breath, and his heart felt more comfortable.
Waiting and waiting, thinking that Bai Xiyan's intention was the agate, it is estimated that he made a big fuss about losing the tribute, and threatened not to speak, but he really did it clearly!
Time passed slowly, Bai Yi didn't care, and when he missed, he crushed the lotus seeds, and the waiting process was the most torturous.
This song and dance is coming to an end, everything is coming to an end, Bai Xiyan is about to start, Bai Yi has to pray well, hoping that Yiyun can be faster.
Suddenly, there was a cool air on the left, it turned out to be Yiyun coming in with sleet, and the green agate in his hand was really similar to the original one, Bai Yi immediately took it and exhaled a breath.
Yiyun walked to the eldest princess's side, Bai Yizai stared carefully at the bead, the music stopped, the dancing queen retreated, and the empress raised her wine glass, "This year, I will go to Qingbo Town, show the beauty of Jiangnan, and the city lord's preparation should also be appropriate. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The lord of the city said that a happy smile was opened, and his eyebrows danced.
"The credit of receiving Yaohou to escort cannot be erased, give Ruyi a jade zun and a high-grade sword."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Receiving Yaohou bowed respectfully, too, people don't lack anything.
Thinking that Bai Xiyan should start being a demon, sure enough, he can't get up!
"Mother Emperor~, daughter dares to ask for a reward from Mother Emperor." Bai Xiyan shows the posture of her daughter's family, and the mother mother eats her very much.
"Hahaha~, let's talk about it."
"My sister can be rewarded with a tribute agate, and I also want to ask the mother to give me a reward, my daughter can seriously follow the Ming Yin sage to learn things this time."
"Tribute agate?"
"It's the one on my sister! Huh? Where's my sister? Why didn't you see it?" Bai Xiyan approached Bai Yi and looked around, as if he was helping to find it. said to Bai Yi in a low voice, "Don't forget your heartfelt puppy, still being leashed by me." β
