Chapter 144: The Unexpected
She knows that her existence is controversial, so she can't let others laugh at it!
Beichen Ye took her hand: "Your appearance will only compare them all, the palace is very big,."
Mu Jiaren nodded after hearing this, she really might get lost.
"I will definitely follow His Highness without leaving an inch."
"That's good."
"By the way, what should I prepare for the Queen Mother's birthday? I don't seem to have anything to give. ”
"I've got the congratulatory gifts ready, you don't have to worry."
"But that's your mind, even if you are ready to count it on me, the Queen Mother will see it."
"If you like to paint, you can send a painting to the Queen Mother."
"What is good to draw?"
"Just celebrate your birthday."
Mu Jiaren began to paint the next day according to Beichen Ye's instructions, and she decided to take the peach as the theme and paint the fairy mountain, which has the meaning of auspicious fortune and longevity.
Yan Ruxue and Situ Guangyao's wedding was held in their hometown, and General Situ also submitted a table to the emperor and asked for a few days off to return to his home for the wedding.
In order to prevent this incident from happening again, Situ Guangyao decided to hold an engagement banquet in the capital first, and just invited some close friends.
Beichen Ye and Situ Guangyao brought a lot of guards, and on the day of their engagement, they chartered the entire Drunken Immortal Building, and Mu Jiaren dressed up for Yan Ruxue.
"Beauty, if it weren't for you, I might have died by now."
Yan Ruxue said gratefully.
"Phew! What to say! This is the fate of you and the little marquis, you can love each other, it can be regarded as gratitude to me. ”
Mu Jiaren helped her put on the hairpin and applied rouge to her.
"The little marquis is very good to me, you don't have to worry, when the wedding, I like you to come."
"Of course come, I'm ready to drink this glass of wine!"
"Hmm!"
On the day of the engagement banquet, Prince Shuo also came, although they were opposed to each other before, but they still had to get by on face, Han Baiyi also came to the wedding banquet, with Bai Jiaren by his side.
Mu Jia and Beichen Ye sat together, next to Han Yunqian, and the other table was Prince Shuo and Han Baiyi, plus the dignitaries and dignitaries who were good friends with the Situ family in the capital and the people of the Liuli faction, the entire Drunken Immortal Building was full at once.
The banquet was carried out in a peaceful manner, everyone was saying words of blessing, and they were all praising Yan Ruxue and Situ Guangyao, Mu Jiaren couldn't help but have an illusion with a wine glass, as if everyone here was each other's confidants.
Sure enough, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
"There won't be any surprises." Mu Jiaren asked Beichen Ye in a low voice.
He reached out and held her, "No." ”
There are many guards here, and the dignitaries in the capital all want to be friendly with the Situ family, and Prince Shuo and Han Baiyi are the representatives of the emperor, so no one will deliberately make trouble.
Mu Jiaren nodded, most of the civil officials here, and the military attaches are all good friends with the Situ family, originally she thought that Zuo Liancheng would come to make trouble and embarrass Situ Guangyao, but when she saw that the prince was happy and stupid to mingle with everyone, she thought it was impossible.
Sure enough, the prince is very good at being a man.
Since there was nothing to worry about, Mu Jiaren let go of eating and drinking, and Beichen Ye noticed that the wine jug on the side had been added a few times, and immediately stopped her.
"Drink less."
"On the big day, of course, you have to drink more, with you, don't worry."
Saying that, Mu Jiaren poured another glass.
Beichen Ye took her wine glass away.
"Drinking too much hurts your body, you've already drunk two pots tonight."
"It's only two pots, I can drink one jar!"
"How can a woman be greedy for wine and obedient." As she spoke, Beichen Ye took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
Prince Shuo and Han Baiyi, who were at the table next to them, naturally saw their movements.
"Who is the girl next to the prince?" Lord Shuo asked pretending to be puzzled.
"It's Miss Mu." Han Baiyi replied.
"Oh, it turns out that she is Miss Mu, the painter of the Qingmei Covenant, I didn't expect Emperor Ye's nephew to like such a woman."
Han Baiyi didn't speak, he didn't expect Beichen Ye to be so good to Mu Jiaren, could it be that the Mu family really has any secrets that can make people trust and get close to them wholeheartedly?
After the banquet, everyone got into the carriage and prepared to leave, and Beichen Ye and Mu Jiaren left last.
Han Baiyi didn't take the carriage when he came, and the prince said that he would send him in a carriage, but he was politely refused, he wanted to walk back home, but Bai Jiaren saw that he didn't take the carriage, so he offered to go with him.
Mu Jiaren could see that Bai Jiaren wanted to get closer to Han Baiyi, but she couldn't stop this kind of thing, so she could only watch Han Baiyi fall into the beauty scheme.
"Will Prime Minister Han marry her?" Mu Jiaren looked at the two people in the distance and asked.
"It's none of your business." Beichen Ye's eyebrows frowned slightly, why did she like to care about other people's affairs so much? Since you have energy, you can put all of it on him.
"No, Prime Minister Han Cheng has a good relationship with Bai Jiaren, that is, he has a good relationship with Prince Shuo, won't it be ...... then?"
"You don't have to worry about things so far away."
Saying that, he pulled Mu Jiaren and got into the carriage.
Bai Jiaren lived in a small courtyard in the palace, Han Baiyi sent her home, and after the two walked for a while, Bai Jiaren spoke: "Lord Han, can you call me Qinglian in the future?" ”
"Qinglian is your name?"
"Yes, Bai Jiaren is the money I used to paint, and Qinglian is my real name."
"No last name?"
"I was an orphan since I was a child, fostered in a relative's house, and later my relative also died of illness, so I traveled around with the little money I had left, learned to paint, and then I was injured once, but fortunately I got the help of the prince, and I was able to pick up a life."
Qinglian's life experience is very miserable, Han Baiyi originally didn't think she was as restrained as an ordinary woman, but she didn't expect to have such a hard time.
"Life is always so hard."
As soon as the words fell, a masked man suddenly popped out of the woods on the side, holding a dagger against Han Baiyi's neck.
"Robbery! Get the money! Hurry up! ”
Neither of them expected to meet a robber, Qinglian immediately took out the money bag and handed it to the man: "Here you go, please don't hurt him!" ”
The man took the money, but still put the dagger against Han Baiyi: "Your money!" ”
Han Baiyi took out the money bag and handed it to him, the man weighed the money bag, and turned to look at Qinglian: "Yo, the little lady is very handsome." ”
Qinglian was so frightened that she turned around and was about to run away.
The man grabbed her, and then glared at Han Baiyi: "Get out of here, don't spoil Lao Tzu's interest." ”
After speaking, he began to tear Qinglian's clothes, and Qinglian shouted: "My lord, you go quickly!" ”
Han Baiyi picked up the wooden stick that was placed on the side and shouted to attract the attention of the people around him, and rushed over to fight with the man.
He missed with a stick, the man was enraged, threw away Qinglian, and went to stab Han Baiyi with the dagger, Qinglian saw this and pounced, holding the dagger with both hands and breaking it to the side.
