Jun Changning went to the Wenguo Mansion on the second day after Bai Heran left Beijing.

This was her first visit since she was born, and Bai Xingyan was not prepared at all.

However, Jun Changning's arrival is not completely incomprehensible, Bai Xingyan thought, this must be because Bai Mingzhu was beaten into the cold palace, and the sixth princess had no support, so she thought of the Bai family and wanted to show her closeness. Moreover, it is estimated that they don't want the emperor to say that their mother and daughter don't care about family affection, so they took the initiative to come to the Bai family.

But no matter what the reason is, Bai Xingyan doesn't have much affection for this niece. What he cares about is his sister, what he cares about is the position of Concubine Kang, and he doesn't like a brainless and arrogant princess like Jun Changning. He even felt that Jun Changning's temperament was a bit like Bai Huayan, but how old was Bai Huayan, Jun Changning was seventeen, could he compare with Bai Huayan who was ten years old? Therefore, the arrival of the sixth princess was not warmly welcomed by the Bai family.

But not welcoming does not mean that no one entertains, after all, she is still a princess, so Bai Xingyan personally accompanied her to sit in the front hall and talk for a while, and the parents talked for a while.

After a while, the housekeeper came in and asked if he had prepared lunch, and did the sixth princess stay for lunch?

Bai Xingyan made a decision for Jun Changning on the spot: "It's not easy for the princess to go out of the palace, she won't stay outside the palace too much, and after talking for a while, it's time to go back to the palace, even if we want to stay for lunch, the princess will definitely not be able to stay." ”

Who knew that Jun Changning immediately took over the words: "No, no, no, I can stay for lunch." Before leaving the palace, I went to ask my father and mother for leave, saying that I was going out of the palace to visit relatives in the Wenguo Mansion. In fact, I have always remembered this relative, but in the past, my mother was not close to my mother's family, so it was inconvenient for me to have more contact with this side. But not in the future, I will often go out of the palace to visit my grandmother and uncle, and I will do my filial piety with my mother. My father and queen mother were very happy when they heard this, and immediately let me out of the palace. ”

Bai Xingyan hated his teeth so much that his teeth itched, and at the same time, he was surprised that this niece didn't seem to be as he thought before, not completely brainless, she had learned to step on her mother's corpse and climb up, at least it was definitely much stronger than Bai Huayan.

It was not possible to leave lunch alone, so Bai Xingyan instructed the housekeeper to prepare the meal, and also invited the Daye family, the Hong family, and Bai Haochen and Bai Haoxuan to sit together, and even the Lin family was invited out. The Guogong Mansion is so small at the moment, and it looks a little thin.

During the banquet, Daye's head was covered with a scarf, which always looked better than the image of a bald head. He also wore a wide-sleeved robe, which could cover the lotus root arm well. Except for these two external factors, the Daye clan still looks rich and elegant, dignified and graceful.

Lin Shi seemed a little restrained, only moved the chopsticks twice, and then put them down to laugh with him, and did not speak.

Bai Haoxuan was still young, and after eating for a while, he left the table, saying that he was going to Wen Shu.

Jun Changning also said enthusiastically: "I heard that Cousin Xuan's homework has always been very good, and I think I will be able to participate in the children's examination in a few years." After speaking, he sighed, "Alas, it's a pity that the title of the Bai family can no longer be hereditary, otherwise my cousin wouldn't have to start from the Tongsheng exam." ”

Bai Haoxuan looked at her for a while, shook his head and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess must have heard the difference, although my homework is not bad, there is still a big gap between me and very good." Because I didn't read much of the books on the scientific expedition, the Wen books I was talking about were the medical books that went to Wen and the medical books that my second sister assigned to me. As for the princess, what you said about the children's exam, Xuan'er will not participate in it, after all, she is not here. ”

Jun Changning bumped into a big red face, this was a sycophant and didn't shoot in the right place. But she never expected that Bai Haoxuan would not take the official career and want to study medicine with Bai Heran, what is this called?

Seeing that Jun Changning was embarrassed, Bai Xingyan didn't want to look at it, so he waved his hand to let Bai Haoxuan go first, and then said to Jun Changning: "Your cousin is still young, how to go in the future, how can he have the final say." ”

Jun Changning nodded, "Uncle is right, such a big matter must be decided by my uncle, Xuan'er is too ignorant." ”

The Hong family, who hadn't spoken much, opened his mouth when he heard this, but he didn't mention Bai Haoxuan, and only said to Jun Changning: "The gifts brought by the princess have been counted in the mansion, I asked the housekeeper to keep half of them, and take them with the princess when she goes to Xiaobai's mansion in a while!" Xu is the palace people you brought are also confused, and half of the ceremony should have been left, how could it be given to the Guogong Mansion. ”

Jun Changning was stunned for a moment, "The gift is indeed for the Guogong Mansion!" It's all my filial piety to my uncle. After speaking, he glanced at Daye's family again, and then added, "There is also the eldest aunt." After speaking, he asked Xiao Ye again, "What am I going to do in Xiaobai Mansion?" Do you want me to see my second uncle? She shook her head as she spoke, "Although the second aunt is pregnant, it will not make me a princess deign to see her." In my heart, my uncle and aunt come first. ”

The Daye clan smiled and didn't say anything, but Bai Xingyan heard the doorway, and wanted to make a round for Jun Changning to round the conversation, but he didn't rob the Hong clan - "Don't go to Xiaobai Mansion?" Isn't that a deception? ”

Jun Changning was stunned, how could he pull out the bully? When did she cheat on her father?

"Red Lady, don't talk nonsense." Jun Changning's face sank, "Your so-called Jun, that's my father, why am I bullying my father?" She specially emphasized the word father, which was to give the Hong family a downward horse and remind the Hong family of the relationship between herself and Jun.

The Hong clan was not afraid of this, rolled his eyes and said: "You just said that you took leave with the emperor and queen to visit your grandmother and uncle, and now your uncle is probing, what about your grandmother?" My grandmother is still living in Xiaobai Mansion, so don't you even send a gift to Xiaobai Mansion? The sixth princess still didn't forget to do the best of the etiquette, after all, Concubine Kang was planted because of this. ”

As soon as Bai Mingzhu was mentioned, Jun Changning's anger was even stronger, but thinking about it again, the Hong family was right, if he didn't show it to the old lady, this matter was likely to be used by someone with a heart to make a fuss. She didn't want to end up like her mother, and she didn't want to ruin her plans because of this little thing. She didn't come to the Guogong Mansion today just to eat, she wanted to find a backer for herself, and she came to see her eldest uncle and aunt with a letter of nomination, and she probably couldn't let a little red make things worse.

So he turned around and instructed the palace people who followed: "Go and send the things to Xiaobai's mansion, and say that I am filial to the old lady." After speaking, he turned back and smiled at the Hong family, "Mrs. Hong is too worried, there is already a share of the things for the grandmother, and Xu is Bai Mansion has quickly taken it over, and it would be better to divide that share now." ”

The Hong family also smiled: "The sixth princess said that it was good, I don't care, anyway, there is no shortage of those in the Guogong Mansion." ”

Jun Changning's face sank again, she understood what the Hong family meant, and she thought that the things she sent were not good.

This meal was not happy at all, people had their own concerns, and finally got to the banquet, the Hong family and the Lin family quickly left the flower hall, and walked so fast that they disappeared without waiting for Bai Xingyan to say a word.

Jun Changning snorted coldly, although he was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything. It was Bai Haochen who stayed under the signal of the Daye clan, after all, he was the eldest young master of the Guogong Mansion, so he had to stay and entertain guests.

But Bai Haochen was in a trance, and he didn't have the appearance of his former grandeur at all, as if he hadn't woken up, let him stay and stay, and then sit there without speaking, rubbing his eyes from time to time, drinking tea, and beating his spirits.

Jun Changning really couldn't understand how this eldest cousin became like this, she had seen Bai Haochen a few times before, sometimes at the palace banquet, and sometimes the Daye clan took Bai Haochen into the palace to greet the Queen Mother. But every time I see this eldest cousin, I look like a jade tree in the wind, and I can feel that extraordinary bearing when I am far away.

But now it's completely different, I can't open my eyes, I don't have energy, my eye sockets are sunken, my eye circles are black, and I yawn from time to time. She wanted to ask this eldest cousin, how many nights has she not slept in, as for being sleepy like this?

Daye also saw that something was wrong with Bai Haochen, but Bai Haochen had been in this state for a while, and she vaguely felt that it was related to that plum fruit, but she couldn't get definite evidence. In addition, Bai Haochen protected Mei Guo, and she tried to interfere several times but failed.

Bai Xingyan didn't know about Bai Haochen and Mei Guo, but Bai Haochen might not have slept for several days, but he didn't know why he didn't sleep. So he scolded a few words with a heavy face, and then sent Bai Haochen away.

Finally, there were only three masters left in the flower hall, Bai Xingyan, Daye, and Jun Changning.

What kind of person is the Daye family, that is the most observant of words and feelings, from Jun Changning, she can see that Jun Changning is definitely not just here for a meal, she must have something.

But she didn't think that Jun Changning would have any big deals, it was nothing more than that the mother concubine had no hope, and she went back to talk to the Bai family about the alliance. She even disdains the sixth princess in her heart, after all, a powerless princess not only can't help the Bai family, but may also drag down the Bai family, so she is not optimistic about any alliance.

It is precisely because he is not optimistic, so his attitude is also light, when Jun Changning proposed to discuss important matters, hoping to change places to speak, Daye said: "There is no need to change places, right?" It's pretty good here, I wonder what the sixth princess wants to say? ”

This means very clearly, don't say anything that is too private, and we don't like to hear it. In this kind of place, you can say whatever you want, and we can forget it as soon as we hear it. Relatives are relatives, but we can't really help you.

Jun Changning looked at Bai Xingyan, Bai Xingyan naturally had the same meaning as the Daye family, so he also nodded: "Your eldest aunt is right, Changning, if you have something to say, just say it!" Your mother is my own sister, and our relatives still have to do it. ”

Jun Changning shook his head, "This matter must not be said here." After she finished speaking, she stood up, took out a note from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Daye and Bai Xingyan, "The two of you will take a look at the content of this note, and then decide where to talk to me." ”

Bai Xingyan and Daye unfolded the note suspiciously, and they were stunned......
