Bai Jinghao knew very well the purpose of being brought into the Shen family, and she was also very conscientious, and personally led the maidservants in the courtyard to arrange the food delivered on the low table near the window, and prepared two indigo pillows to place in front of the Duobao maul in the corner.

Shen Shikai changed his clothes under the service of Chengfeng, regained his appearance, and walked out with a smile on his eyebrows.

Seeing that she was eating and drinking for herself, she smiled and said, "Sister Jinghao, they can do these things, you sit." ”

Bai Jinghao tried the softness of the two pillows, pointed to let him lean on, and replied lightly: "My aunt picked me up to take care of my cousin, so it's okay." ”

"I'm fine, I don't need you to work so hard."

Shen Shikai stared at her, and although he said this, he still sat down happily.

Bai Jinghao picked up the chopsticks and handed them to the other party again, "Cousin, let's eat." ”

Shen Shikai looked at her so quiet and gentle, and curled his lips in response: "Okay." ”

He did lose a lot of weight, but he was in good spirits, not as serious as Bai Qingping said when he was in the Bai family. It is also expected that this aunt of hers likes to exaggerate words in front of the old lady.

Shen Shikai ate very fragrantly, and looked at the girl in front of him from time to time, and couldn't help but say, "It's the first time that my cousin sits and eats with me like this, it's really good." By the way, are you hungry, why don't you eat some too? ”

"I've eaten at home."

Shen Shikai bowed his head shyly, and said lightly: "I asked more, my mother came to the house, and my grandmother will definitely leave food." ”

Bai Jinghao only quietly accompanies him.

After a while, Shen Shikai said again: "My cousin came to see me, I'm very happy. ”

"It should." Bai Jing thought about it for a while, and took the initiative to say: "I lost my words that day, I shouldn't have told you that, but it was my fault that you were cranky and sick." ”

Hearing her say this, Shen Shikai's tone was a little anxious: "Don't talk like this." Yuton, as if he had thought of something, asked again: "Did my mother scold you?" ”

"You know that my aunt doesn't like me," Bai Jinghao wanted to say, but thinking that the other party was emotionally sensitive, for fear of upsetting him by telling the truth, he changed his words: "Aunt feels sorry for you, I misunderstood that I was angry with you at home that day, and I only asked a few words, but I didn't feel much embarrassed." ”

"Really?" Shen Shikai was suspicious, and his eyes were worried.

Bai Jing looked at him well, and her voice was a little fluctuating: "Yes, I told the truth, saying that you were just angry, I don't blame you for not visiting me, and my aunt didn't say anything." ”

Shen Shikai was relieved, "That's good." ”

Then, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said in a sincere tone: "If my mother has wronged you, you have to tell me, I will protect you." ”

Bai Jinghao lowered his head, and responded in the usual tone: "Okay." ”

Xu is that she is too docile, Shen Shikai finally let go of his heart, thinking that the two are really reconciled. Seeing her think about herself like this, my heart was even more happy.

Bai Jing entered the mansion, he was much more cheerful, and he talked more than before.

She planned to wait for him to finish eating and then leave, but the other party kept talking about the past.

In the end, it was the little maid who came to report, and Wei Shizi from the Daocheng Mansion came to visit, and Bai Jinghao took the opportunity to get up.

Although Shen Shikai was reluctant, he also knew that it was inconvenient, so he personally sent her out of the room.

One in and one out, Bai Jing took a look at Wei Ling.

She was blessed, "Wei Shizi is good." ”

Wei Ling saw that she was surprised, but then she seemed to understand something, and took half a step back and said, "Miss Bai is good." ”

Bai Jing smiled lightly and was about to raise her feet.

Wei Ling suddenly looked at her and said, "I forgot to congratulate Miss, it turns out that you and Shikai have been engaged." ”

Bai Jing fanned her eyelashes and replied in a low voice: "Parents' orders." ”

"I offended last time, please forgive me." His voice was a little dark.

Last...... Bai Jinghao didn't want to recall what happened in the racecourse, so he looked left and right and said: "The matter of the jade ring, I haven't thanked the prince yet." ”

"It's just a matter of effort."

Wei Ling replied, leaned to the side, and let her go first.

Bai Jinghao waited for a while before turning around.

In front of the gate of Jinsong Temple, except for the still green pine trees, there is only a little boy guarding the door sitting on the stone steps.

When he was about to enter the door of the Moon Cave, Bai Jinghao suddenly asked the maidservant who led the way: "I haven't gone to ask my uncle for peace when I entered the mansion, I don't know if he is in the mansion?" ”

"Miss Huibiao, the general is not in the capital, and he was ordered to patrol the camp of Wumingshan two days ago."

Bai Jing let out an "oh" sound.

Shen Shiyan was very enthusiastic about her arrival, and took two hours off with the grandmother in the palace and personally took her to the guest room in Chu Yu Pavilion.

The room was tastefully furnished and thought out.

Shen Shiyan pointed to the piano on the stand and said, "My cousin likes to play the piano, this is what I specially prepared for you." ”

Her maid introduced: "Miss Biao, this guqin is a sound from the palace, and my young lady specially ordered someone to take it out." ”

Bai Jinghao walked over and tried the timbre casually, and said gratefully, "Thank you, cousin." ”

"Good score with good piano, last time my brother gave you the piano score, you can use it." Shen Shiyan said with words.

Her eyes, with a few meaningful smiles, seemed to tell Bai Jinghao that she disdained her proposal at that time, and now it is still like this.

Bai Jing pretended not to know.

The two sat down, Shen Shiyan held the teacup and looked at the newly blooming plum on the branch outside the window, and suddenly sighed sadly: "I don't have many days left at home." ”

"My cousin entered the palace to be the concubine, if you miss your aunt, send a decree to let her enter the palace to see you."

"It's not so easy to see your family in that place in the palace."

"You are the princess chosen by the queen mother herself, and the aunt and the mother have a good relationship, it is not difficult to have her."

"You don't understand."

Shen Shiyan's words fell, and she looked at her and said very seriously: "Actually, even if my brother is not sick this time, I plan to let my mother take you over to accompany me for a while." ”

The relationship between their cousins is not so good, Bai Jinghao was puzzled, and asked directly: "Is there something wrong with my cousin?" ”

"Don't worry about home."

Shen Shiyan sighed again and said slowly: "You know, my father has been fighting all year round, and he has stayed in Beijing more in the past few years, but he has lived in the military camp more than in the mansion. Usually I stay with my mother, but when I get married, there are only her and my brother in the house. ”

Bai Jinghao reminded: "There is also Cousin Shijiao's." ”

"She's just my cousin."

"But the second master of the Shen family died early, and Cousin Shijiao also grew up under her aunt's knees."

Shen Shiyan smiled bitterly and confessed to her: "Don't look at my cousin's young age and no parents, you think she is well-behaved and obedient. When the second uncle went out with my father and died on the battlefield, my second aunt secretly said that it was my father who killed my brother to rob the military, and then the second aunt also went a few years later. Shijiao is dependent on me and my mother on the surface, but she has more twists and turns in her heart than you. ”

Why did you talk about her and pull it on her?

This is the tone that no one will listen to.

Although Bai Jinghao admitted that she had scheming, she really didn't want to accept this.

Shen Shiyan asked her, "Cousin is angry?" ”

Bai Jinghao pretended to smile meaninglessly, "I still don't understand what my cousin means." ”

"With your cleverness, you should understand."

Shen Shiyan got straight to the point: "I'm not at ease in the house, I want you to marry in advance." First, my brother understands your thoughts, and because you are still sick with lovesickness, even my mother has compromised; Second, my mother is impulsive and easy to be instigated and confused, and I can rest assured that you are here. ”

Bai Jinghao won't be carried away by her obedient words, "Cousin, don't lift me up." If you're worried about Cousin Shijiao, I don't think you need to. No matter how thoughtful she is, she is just a twelve-year-old girl, not to mention that her biological parents are long gone, and she has no biological brothers, so she will not have to rely on her uncle and aunt for the rest of her life, and she will not harm the Shen family. ”

With Bai Qingping's arrogant and domineering temperament, she used to have a reputation for treating her niece harshly, can she still be bullied by the little Shen Shijiao?

Shen Shiyan put away her originally gentle and sincere face, her eyes sharp, "You are a transparent heart, then I won't talk nonsense to you." Our Shen family and Bai family have been in the same breath for many years, and they are the most harmonious, and now I have been elected as the princess, and my eldest aunt is the sister of the princess.

But I'm not afraid to tell you that your mother-in-law, my aunt and uncle don't think so in their hearts. She will not be proud of me as the princess, but will feel that I have squeezed out the honor of her own daughter. In fact, who is chosen as the princess, it is all the plan of His Majesty and the queen, what do you do with resentment of me? ”

This is very reasonable, Bai Jinghao nodded thoughtfully.

"There is some obscurity between my mother and my eldest aunt, you know, my mother has a straight temperament, although sometimes she doesn't listen to what she says on the surface, but she doesn't have anything in her heart, and she is often deceived by her aunt and does wrong things.

Recently, the sixth prince ran towards your Bai family so much that I am afraid that I will even break the threshold, and I understand the thoughts of my eldest aunt and cousin Jin Yao. But if Cousin Jin Yao really marries the Sixth King as the step-princess, I will not only be a small quarrel in the past boudoir. I think you passed the door in advance, just to keep an eye on it and plan well for the future of Erfu. Shen Shiyan finally revealed her true purpose.
