Chapter 43: A thief's heart does not die
The eighth princess Liu Zhao, fifteen years old, is the youngest daughter of Emperor Chenghua, who has been raised in Fengyi Palace since she was a child, and has a good relationship with Princess Heshun.
The county lord of Qinglong used to like this aunt very much, but since the county lord of Lanlan entered Beijing, the two of them lived together in the palace, so they became closer. The county lord of Qinglong didn't like the character of the county lord of Lanlan, so he even distanced himself from the eighth princess.
At this moment, when she heard the maid's communication, she stopped laughing and playing, turned around and sat down with everyone with a "shhhh ”
She then instructed her cronies: "Tilan, you go and drag them first, don't let them come by boat, just say that we will be there soon." ”
Tilan was obviously used to this kind of errand, and when she heard the words and did the salute, she took a boat away.
Du Ruoli flattened the corners and sleeves of her clothes, and tidied up the broken hair in Bai Jinghao's ears for her, and reminded: "Sister Jinghao hasn't seen the Eighth Princess and the Lord of Lanlan, right?" Although those two are the same age as us, they are both the aunts of the county lord, and they are of a great age. ”
"Since they are all the aunts of the county lord, they are also here to congratulate, why are you so nervous?"
Du Ruoli frowned and said: "You don't know, the eighth princess likes the prince of Yunxi, and the county lord of Lanlan loves the ninth prince, and they came over at this time, which means that the Houshan Horse Farm is already full of nobles, and it is not good for them to go alone, so they came to pull the county lord and us as a guise." ”
This kind of relationship between men and women is just like this?
Bai Jinghao felt incredible, but seeing that the people around her were all looking as usual, it was no secret that she thought about it.
She asked speechlessly: "Could this be what the county lord said earlier, wait for the afternoon to take us to the next door to see the excitement?" ”
"Wei Shizi's field, the county lord really wants to take us to play. But Yunxi Shizi is playful by nature, and he likes to join in this kind of excitement the most, and if he comes, he will definitely pull his cousin Nine Princes. The eighth princess and the county lord of Lanlan got the news, so they naturally came quickly. ”
Du Ruoli explained the situation to Bai Jinghao, saying that the eighth princess and the county lord Lan Lan are both domineering, on the one hand, they want to pull other young ladies over as a cover, but on the other hand, they like to guard against people, if they find out who dares to think about the ninth prince and the prince of Yunxi, it will not look at anyone's face.
Bai Jinghao was listening carefully to such a scene for the first time, and was suddenly turned around by the Qinglong County Lord's arm, and listened to her complain in disgust: "Alas, Sister Jinghao, you look too good-looking, Lanlan County Lord can't see others look beautiful, what can I do?" ”
A girl next to her said: "What else can I do, quickly find Sister Qi Nian to help Sister Jing Hao put on makeup." ”
Cheng Qinian didn't remember who the daughter Bai Jing was, she only remembered that her slender and flexible fingers took rouge gouache and smeared it on her face for a long time, and finally sighed in embarrassment: "You come and see, I did my best." ”
Du Ruoli came over when she heard the voice, looked at Bai Jinghao and covered her mouth and snickered: "How much enmity do you have with Sister Jinghao, and the girl who is very young will be turned into Miss Dull Wood by you?" ”
Cheng Qinian replied helplessly: "Then you can't deliberately make an ugly one, so that the Bai family's sister will lose face outside, right?" ”
The county lord of Qinglong waved his hand and said: "It's unsatisfactory, but there is no way, I can only blame Sister Jinghao's foundation is too good, as long as it is not too eye-catching." Sister Jinghao, when the time comes, you will stand next to me, I think the county lord of Lanlan dares to embarrass you, don't you? ”
Bai Jinghao felt that she had become a key target of protection, and their eyes were full of worry when they looked at her.
She looked in the mirror herself, Cheng Qinian did not have the ability to turn magic into decay, but she just took away the brilliance of the corners of her eyes for her, and focused on the layer of powder for her, trying to attribute her beauty to rouge gouache.
This ability to aquegate beauty is not as good as the sallow grease she used in the past when she was in Baifu......
And the county lord of Lan Lan, who was not easy to get along with for a long time, was only twenty-eight years old, with a slender figure and a shy appearance, Bai Jing looked quite gorgeous and lovely at first glance.
Then, in the flower hall, the gorgeous and lovely Lan Lan County Lord stood in front of her, and asked arrogantly, "Qinglong, is this your new friend?" I haven't seen it before, and I don't look like a young lady from any Hou Mansion. ”
The lord of Qinglong County hid Bai Jinghao behind him, "It is indeed my new acquaintance." ”
"She looks very standard, and you can invite her to your birthday banquet just after you know her, it doesn't seem simple." Lord Lan Lan smiled meaningfully.
The county lord of Qinglong was impatient and asked rhetorically: "Do you want to go to the back mountain?" Maybe when the show ends, my brother will take everyone back to China. ”
The eighth princess hurriedly continued: "Go, of course go." ”
Only then did the county lord of Lanlan retract his gaze and let the county lord of Qinglong lead the way.
Du Ruoli dragged Bai Jinghao to walk behind, and said in a low voice: "Look, I know that you will be noticed by the county lord, it is too conspicuous!" ”
Bai Jing is so innocent: "I don't want to either." ”
She provoked whoever she provoked, as if having such a face was an unforgivable sin.
After walking through most of the princess's mansion to the horse farm at the bottom of the mountain, Wei Shizi's entourage came over to greet everyone.
The county lord of Qinglong instructed him to clean up the field and come out, and let them throw pots and play.
Yanshu led them to the school next to them.
Everything was ready-made, and the guards could have set it up a little.
The eighth princess and the county lord of Lanlan are both drunkards, where can they sit still, urging the main Qinglong County to go over.
They are elders, and Wei Li can't refuse, so he has to get up.
After a while, people from there came to invite them over, and most of them were their own brothers.
When the young master of the Du family sent someone to find him, Du Ruoli refused because she was worried that Bai Jing would stay in the school.
Bai Jing felt embarrassed, so when a guard said that the second master of the Bai Mansion was looking for her, she went with the others without thinking too much, and asked Du Ruoli to hurry up to find her brother.
After parting halfway, Bai Jing looked at the strange back of the guard leading the way, slowed down his pace and asked: "Everyone else is a small servant from various mansions who came to pass the word, and my second brother also has an entourage by his side, how could he order you to come over?" ”
The guard paused slightly, turned around and explained: "I am the guard in the racecourse, Second Master Bai is racing horses with the prince, and the people around him can't leave." ”
"Since I can't leave, how does my second brother know that I'm here?"
Bai Jinghao realized that something was wrong, and turned around to go back to the school.
The guards reacted quickly and dodged in front of her, blocking the way.
Bai Jing glared angrily, took a step back and said vigilantly, "Who are you?" ”
This place is the princess's mansion, which is heavily guarded, and the villains who take their lives can't get in, but there are many ridiculous nobles who harbor evil intentions.
Sure enough, when the guard saw that his identity was pierced, he hugged her fist, and his tone was quite respectful: "Miss Bai don't be afraid, it's my Royal Highness who wants to see you." ”
Bai Jing was so distressed that she almost forgot about this stubble.
Your Royal Highness, it can only be His Royal Highness Liu Mao, the newly married imperial grandson!
