Baili Jiuyi choked, that day in the Ukiyo Pavilion was the first time he saw Noya completely release his true nature, jumping like thunder, laughing and scolding, smashing wildly, alive like a jumping bean in a hot pot, fresh and real. It's a pity that he later turned out to be self-defeating, gave her a great grievance, and pushed her away from himself with his own hands.

He looked at Noah's smile at this time, just like when he first saw him, although the smile was bright and charming, but he was wearing a mask and had no color. Bailijiu felt that there was a layer of hazy and illusory things between the two, which was too unreal.

He was inexplicably a little cramped, and he didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant and embarrassing at that time.

He lowered his head, avoided her gaze, reached into his arms, pulled out a very primitive dagger, and handed it to her as if it were very casual.

Noah was a little puzzled and didn't dare to reach out to pick it up: "What do you mean?" ”

"I remember confiscating a dagger from you on the day of the wedding, and it was a little shabby, so I lost it casually, so I picked one casually to compensate you." Bailijiu was a little apprehensive when he said this, and he was worried that Noah would see through his efforts and pretend to be chic.

"Thank you, Ninth Master, I don't need it anymore."

Noah indifferently refused. That tranquility and indifference are not only different from the previous emptiness and flattery, nor is it as cold as frost and rejects people for thousands of miles, but Baili Jiu can clearly feel the estrangement between the two, which is insurmountable.

Actually, he wanted to joke with her with a hippie smile, but in such an embarrassing atmosphere, he suddenly became overwhelmed.

Baili Jiu smiled slightly, and joked in what he thought was the most brisk tone: "Even if you can't cut vegetables, it's always more than enough to use it for self-protection." ”

This was his original idea, he felt that this woman was too trouble-loving, always restless, and needed a sharp dagger so that she wouldn't always be bullied by others, so he went to great lengths to find such a small but handy blade, which was worth a lot of money.

Noah really likes the dagger with a black body, it is simple and has no decoration, but the cold light emitted by the whole body, she can feel it from afar, it is a cold murderous aura.

She also smiled slightly: "The ninth master has a heart." However, Noah understood a truth, protecting a person is never by force, but by brain. ”

There were words in her words, which made Baili Jiu instantly think of Chu Tianchen who was like Gao Yang in the clouds, and she easily suppressed Qin Darling, and the soldiers were bloodless. In that game, I have to admit that I lost quite badly.

"What are you blaming me in your heart?"

"The ninth master is too careful, Noah doesn't dare, I just don't need to tie my safety to a cold dagger."

Bailijiu's heart was a little sour, he lowered his head, and said to her word by word: "You're right, the only thing you need to rely on is me, Bailijiu." Your safety, I am duty-bound, I need to protect it with my heart, and I don't need to fake it to others. ”

Noya was shocked, she didn't expect Bailijiu to say such a thing, although she was domineering, she seemed to be serious, quite affectionate, and it sounded quite pleasant.

Even though his heart was overturned, Noya didn't appreciate it, pretended to be calm, and said coldly: "Maybe the ninth master is far away from Noya, which is the best protection for Noah." ”

"You don't believe me?" Baili Jiu was a little frustrated, and asked angrily: "It's the first time that the master has made a promise to someone in such a low voice. ”

Seeing him annoyed and angry, Noah's face suddenly cracked, and a smile like a very bright warm sun bloomed: "Where? Noah was flattered and naturally waited and watched. ”

With that smile, the anger in Baili Jiuyi's stomach disappeared in an instant, and he flew away without a trace. He has one head and two big, this woman is his nemesis, he can be so angry that he goes crazy, has the urge to beat people, and instantly flutters, like a cloud.

He raised his hand: "What about this dagger?" ”

Noah snatched it away: "It's barely okay to chop vegetables." ”

Bailijiu rarely didn't mock her, only smiled dotingly: "It's the prince's birthday in a few days, and we need to go to the prince's mansion for a banquet together." ”

The Prince's birthday? According to the regulations, this prince's birthday banquet is said to be a humble concubine, even if she is a side lady, it is difficult to be qualified to participate, how can Bailijiu take herself there?

Noah can't forget her own holiday with the crown princess in the hunting garden, and her meanness. This revenge of falling off the horse, the crown princess is undoubtedly recorded on her head, and it is too late to dodge, is she in a hurry to bring humiliation on herself?

"On the prince's birthday, it doesn't seem appropriate for Noah to go, right?"

"What, scared?" Baili Jiu raised an eyebrow and asked.

"It has nothing to do with guts, I just think it's too stupid to take the initiative to send it to the door and be ridiculed by a mad dog." Noah spoke unceremoniously.

Baili Jiu didn't care, as if he also agreed with Noah's words: "What if I say that the prince specially invited you to go?" ”

"Prince?" Nuoya was even more surprised, this is definitely a Hongmen banquet, the prince must be a small-bellied chicken intestine, and he wants to avenge his vicious mother-in-law in front of everyone, right? also specially picked an auspicious day of the zodiac, and he valued her Lin Nuoya too much!

Baili Jiu nodded solemnly: "I have to say, you are very honored." ”

Honor a fart! Noah couldn't wait to scold, no wonder he was so kind today, he sent a dagger, and he made an affectionate promise, so he comforted him clearly: Time is short, eat whatever you want!

People are dying, and "deceiving" words are also good!

Cowardice is not Lin Nuoya, left and right is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, she has a stalk in her neck, and she smiled a little empty: "The prince is kind but disrespectful, of course go!" ”

"Then it's a word! In the afternoon, I asked Mrs. An to arrange for the embroidery lady to come over and make you a well-fitting dress. ”

Baili Jiuyi made a final decision, and did not give Noah a chance to hesitate.

It was almost dusk in the afternoon, and the embroidery girl summoned by the house came over, and An Ruoxi followed.

The maid behind her held a golden silk wooden box in her hand, and when she opened it in front of everyone, it was twelve pink pearls of the same size, round and shiny.

"These twelve birthday beads are Ruoxi's dowry, today I heard the ninth master say that he wanted to find an embroidery girl to sew a suitable palace dress for his sister, I couldn't help but think of it, I think they are very suitable for my sister's charm, used to decorate the skirt corners, or make jewelry are excellent."

Noya knew that the beads, no matter their color or size, were the best and hard to find, and An Ruoxi was willing to give them to herself, and she didn't know what to do. She humbly said a few words, An Ruoxi insisted on sending it, so she accepted it unceremoniously.

The embroidery girl began to measure Noya's body, extremely carefully, and did not dare to make the slightest mistake. Because she was afraid of the cold, she was wearing heavy clothes, so the embroidery lady suggested that she remove the outer clothes and only wear the inner clothes.

An Ruoxi also persuaded: "The Ninth Master told you to make two fox fur piping cloaks, and I heard that the banquet was set up in a warm room, and it would not be cold at all." The palace clothes should not be too heavy, and they should be close to the body to look good. ”

Noah thought about it, and felt that it made sense, so she turned to the back of the screen, removed the outer jacket of the wide clothes, and put her hand on the screen.

There were two things she carried with her: gold and jade pendants, all in a sachet purse, embroidered with a little white cat like a snow ball.

The gold is Noah's share in the past few months, and he hasn't spent a penny, he has all of it with him, and he is always planning to escape.

The jade pendant is the "bangs playing golden toad", which is related to her life experience, carries it with her, and treats it as a treasure.

Kikyo once curiously asked about the origin of this jade pendant, Ji Pozi and Chao Sandusi were all in front of him, and Noya prevaricated perfunctorily.

She untied her belt, hesitated, and stood on tiptoe to hang it on the carved pillars raised on the side of the screen.

Several embroiderers measured carefully and meticulously, and humbly asked Nuoya for details when recording. Noah felt that this banquet was unpredictable, and no details were sloppy, so she also put some thought into her clothes, striving to be simple and comfortable, so as to facilitate her use of her hands and feet.

When I measured the size and felt a little cold, I reached out to get the clothes on the screen, only to find that the jacket was missing.

"Kikyo, where's my jacket?" Noah asked curiously.

But I couldn't hear Kikyo's answer.

"The clothes slipped on the ground, and the jacket took up a little water stain, I saw that you were busy, so I didn't alarm you, let the bellflower take it to be cleaned, and change it into a new jacket and leave it here." An Ruoxi took a new jacket and walked over and handed it to Noya.

Noah picked it up and draped it on his body, and went to the screen to find his purse, but it was also missing, and he couldn't help but change his face and looked down in a panic.

An Ruoxi smiled and held it in her hand: "Are you looking for this?" I saw that the embroidery on it was very chic, so I took it together to learn. ”

Noya hurriedly grabbed it in his hand, hurriedly opened it to see, and saw that the jade pendant was still there, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Could it be that this purse was sent to you by the Ninth Master eccentricly? How nervous can you be? An Ruoxi laughed and teased.

Noya neither affirmed nor denied it, only thanked him indifferently, and cleverly changed the topic, and An Ruoxi didn't want to ask jokingly again.

According to Noya's request, the embroidery girl drew the sketch of the palace costume in three or two times, and showed it to her before leaving. An Ruoxi was also inconvenient to stay longer, so she said goodbye and returned to her ukiyo-eki.

It was not early, the night was hazy, Mrs. Liu of the Ukiyo Pavilion opened the courtyard door to welcome her, and secretly glanced at An Ruoxi: "The bathing water has been prepared, and the charcoal stove is also bright, will the young lady bathe now?" ”

An Ruoxi immediately understood, and explained to a few subordinates in the courtyard: "You can go to the kitchen to eat by yourself, Xia Wu and Qiu Ge are guarding the hospital door, don't let the idlers wait to come in." ”

Xia Wu and Qiu Ge are both An Ruoxi's wedding girls, and when they heard this, they immediately followed their master's instructions, guarding the hospital door on the left and right, and after the mermaid exited, they immediately went to the door bolt.

Mrs. Liu opened An Ruoxi's door and respectfully lowered her voice: "The master has come over in person." ”
