"Okay, now that I have offended the second prince, I have been plotted by him repeatedly, this feeling of precariousness is really not good." I pouted helplessly: Avoiding trouble, this reason is enough, right?

"Since the last time you encountered an assassin, Your Highness and I have been terrified, and we have sent a secret guard to protect you from time to time." He sighed, "I can understand your thoughts, an innocent woman, but she was involved in the dispute of the heavenly family for no reason, and she also affected her family, which really hurt you." โ€

Coming out of Pan Gongzi's mansion, I deliberately walked along the Qinhuai River.

It was nearly noon, and the warm sun of early winter sprinkled some melted light through the heavy clouds, bringing some warmth to the suddenly cold and solemn world.

I wrapped myself in a thick cloak and stood on the riverbank looking at the sparkling surface of the river.

But more than a month ago, the afternoon was still warm, I sat under the tree, brushed by his fingers over a green hair, and the butterflies he conjured up were sweet to the bottom of my heart, and I was almost bluffed by him......

Things are not people, but that's it.

It has only been more than a year since I came to the Ming Dynasty, and all the things I have experienced during this period seem to have been as long as a lifetime.

This is not a world that belongs to me, I have worked hard and chased for it, but I can't force it to come if I don't have it.

The cold wind blew, and the corners of my nose and eyes were a little sour. I sniffed hard, tightened my cloak and turned away.

The news of Pan Gongzi spread very quickly, and I was just having lunch at home, when Gonggong Wei, who was next to the fat man, came to visit and said that His Royal Highness had summoned me to the palace for a while.

Hearing the word "enter the palace", the whole family was stunned, and the father was shocked for a moment and was quite calm, but Ah Nuan looked at me with a look of "angry and indisputable", as if to say that your ability to cause trouble is really getting bigger and bigger, and you have stabbed Lou Zi into the palace, no wonder you want to take our family to avoid trouble.

While scolding, I was hurriedly helping me pick out clothes and jewelry, but I lowered my head and thought about it, picked up the robe when I was dressed as Bai Lan, put it on, and went with Grandpa Wei.

Along the way, I was always worried about my heart, but it was not because of such a major event as entering the palace to meet the prince.

I'm afraid of meeting someone, but I still have a trace of expectation in my heart, which is such an extremely tangled mood.

I struggled all the way to the supreme place of the Ming Dynasty.

As the crown prince, the fat man lives in the East Palace is not as luxurious as he imagined. In particular, its study room Siqi Hall is like a small library.

But the fat man in it, wearing a brocade robe and jade crown, is different from what I have seen him before.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing that I saluted him very solemnly, the fat man looked a little uncomfortable, and retreated left and right to cover the temple door, looking much more comfortable, "Since the last time I heard that you were attacked, I have been very worried, and I have always wanted to see you, but ......"

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, I understood: he had been imprisoned by his emperor's father for a few days because he would try to cheat, so he replied thoughtfully: "Your Highness Xie cares, I am fine." โ€

"Now that my father is leading the army to conquer Mongolia, I have taken on the heavy responsibility of this prison country, and I am too busy to leave, so I have to invite you to come to the East Palace to talk about it."

I have heard before that due to the rebellion of the Valle Ministry, Zhu Di once again put on his horse and led the second prince Zhu Gaoxu and all the generals to the north. During the special period, the fat man who was being grounded and thinking about it was released in advance and imprisoned the country as the crown prince.

"I heard that you are moving your family to Yangzhou, but is there such a thing?"

I had expected the fat man's intention to see me this time, but I was still a little embarrassed to hear him ask so straightforwardly, so I had to nod and say, "Exactly." โ€

The fat man frowned slightly, "If it was because of the previous attack, Miss Leng wouldn't have to be like this." Now that my second brother is going north with my father, he will no longer pose a threat to you, as for this Jinling City...... With me here, what else are you worried about? โ€

Seeing him look like "I'm the boss, who am I afraid of", I felt a little funny, "Your Highness can protect me for a while, can you protect me for a lifetime?" โ€

A hint of meaning flashed in the clinker fat man's eyes: "Why not?" โ€

This...... I pursed my lips, feeling that this topic was not good, so I simply changed my mind and made a dilemma: "Your Highness protects me, it is nothing more than sending a few more secret guards to protect me, but the cold heart is a folk woman, this kind of special treatment is really not blessed." โ€

Girl, I don't like to be stared at all the time and everywhere 24 hours a day.

The fat man's face brushed a touch of helplessness, and he muttered for a moment and said, "Even if it's so, it's okay." I am not on my feet now, and I cannot bear to be swept into the storm, but I believe that the day will come when the clouds will brighten, and then ......"

I said, "At that time, I will congratulate Your Highness with wine." โ€

He knew that I was blocking his words, and smiled helplessly: "If you like Yangzhou, I happen to have a garden by the Slender West Lake, although it is not big, it is exquisite and elegant, you might as well ......"

I sneered in my heart: If you don't send someone to keep an eye on me, you will set up a yard to hide the girl from my golden house, who are you and me?!

Today, the fat man's ambiguous attitude made me a little angry, and finally said with a straight face, "Your Highness, forgive the little girl for being idle and can't be a canary in a cage!" โ€

Seeing that I was annoyed, the fat man was also a little overwhelmed, and unconsciously stepped forward a few steps closer, and made a gesture to pull my arm: "Xinyue, I didn't mean that......"

I hurriedly retreated again and again, but he insisted on approaching step by step, and I was a little anxious: Why is this fat man so abnormal today?

was embarrassed, but the door was pushed open with a creak, and the princess, dressed in a snow-white fox fur and with a poop belly, appeared at the door.

Savior...... I couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at this Miss Zhang.

The fat man was displeased for a moment about the sudden appearance of the crown princess, but he quickly regained his composure, and said to her gently: "It's a cold day, why are you here?" โ€

The crown princess had a virtuous smile on her face: "I'm afraid that Your Highness will be too tired to review the recital, so someone stewed loquat duck soup to make up for Your Highness." As he spoke, he glanced at me who was standing silently beside me, "This is?" โ€

Seeing a touch of embarrassment on the fat man's face, I turned my mind and said to her: "I have seen the crown princess Niangniang, in Xia Bailan." โ€

The fat man's mind turned: "Oh, this is the brother-in-law of King Kanghe, the fourth son of the imperial merchant Bai family, Bai Lan." โ€

"But you have been down to Yangzhou with Your Highness?" The crown princess said, a pair of wonderful eyes looked me up and down, "The little white boy is handsome." It was obviously a compliment, but the tone was very flat, "How old is the little boy Bai, can he marry?" โ€

Feeling the suspicion between her words, I had to deal with it cautiously: "Back to my mother's words, I will be eighteen this year, and I have not yet married a wife...... and added, "But my father and mother have already decided on a family affair, and we will get married in the New Year." โ€

The crown princess bowed slightly, turned her head and smiled at the fat man: "Which girl can marry such a handsome Langjun, it is also blessed." Since Bai Xiaogongzi is an old friend of His Royal Highness, we will have to send a congratulatory gift at that time. โ€

The fat man looked at me and then at the crown princess, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Exactly." โ€

Feeling that this meeting, it would not end well if we continued to talk, so I took it upon myself to salute the fat man: "Don't disturb Your Highness and the crown princess, Bai Lan will retire." โ€

After that, he deliberately didn't look at the fat man's expression, and turned around and walked out of the Siqi Palace.

When I went out, I wore men's clothes with a heart, just to avoid unnecessary trouble, and it seems that I really wore the right one.

When I left the palace, just in time for the bell of the palace to hear the dinner, rows of eunuchs and palace maids took food boxes, charcoal stoves and other objects, walked quietly and quickly, and disappeared into the carved door.

In his previous life, he was influenced by Tang Weiwei's ears and eyes, and he had seen a lot of palace fights, so that he left a deep psychological shadow on the inner courtyard of the palace, but he felt that this was a place where he ate people and did not spit out bones, and how many women's youth and happiness were buried.

For such wealth and glory, even if thousands of women yearn for it, I avoid it.

Father-in-law Wei, who sent me out, was obviously a little anxious because he was busy serving food to the prince at that time, and happened to see another little eunuch under him passing by, so he called him over and asked him to send me out of the palace gate.

This little eunuch looks like he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he has thin eyebrows and big eyes, and he is clever, listening to the instructions of Gonggong Wei, and hurriedly saluting me: "Little boy Bai is polite, little Deng San'er." โ€

I said that Gonggong Deng had a hard job, but there was a trace of doubt in my heart: Gonggong Wei did not introduce my surname to him Bai, and I did not see this little eunuch accompanying him when I went to Yangzhou before, why did he ......

So he kept his eyes on it and didn't speak again, but walked silently outside the palace under his guidance.

I didn't speak, but I couldn't stand the liveliness of this little eunuch, and enthusiastically gave me a lot of pointers: which lady's bedroom is here, and which palace is the grandmother who came over there, and even the chickens, dogs, thieves, and secret gossip in the palace are all eloquent, so I can't help but think that if I put it in my previous life, this little eunuch is really a good material to be a tour guide.

"Isn't it the first time Bai Gongzi has entered the palace?"

Suddenly hearing him ask, I was a little strange: "How can you see it?" โ€

"Anyone who enters the palace for the first time, who is not excited to watch around, as if his eyes and ears are not enough, how can he be as calm as Bai Gongzi?"

I immediately realized that he thought I was "enthusiastically explaining" to him, and I was too lacking in enthusiasm.

In view of the identity I was playing, I pretended to smile indifferently and said, "Glory and wealth, such things, I have seen a lot, and it is not unusual." โ€

The little eunuch patted his head and said with a smile: "I forgot, the prince was born in the imperial merchant Bai family, and he has never seen anything rare." โ€

I glanced at him silently: the imperial merchant Bai family...... The little eunuch really knew a lot.

I was about to continue to pretend to be calm about money like dung, but when I raised my eyes again, I was embarrassed to freeze my body and couldn't be calm anymore.

The figure that was once extremely familiar appeared in front of me at some point.
