Chapter 212: The Last Supper
"Bai Gonglu left Xuchang to Luoyang, it was more than 20 years ago, and when he left from there, the Queen Mother would definitely immediately send someone to follow. But you don't look like you're sixteen or seventeen years old, don't you ......" Bai Junzhuo asked nervously: "Do you have the art of immortality, in fact, you yourself are already in your thirties, but you still look like you are only sixteen or seventeen years old?" ”
The corners of Apricot twitched slightly, and after a long time, she sighed: "Miss, didn't you say that you accepted all the memories of the original Miss?" Have you forgotten that I was only six years old when I was brought into the house, and I grew up with you. ”
Bai Junzhuo recalled that there seemed to be such a period in the memory of the original owner.
Apricot didn't wait for Bai Junzhuo to ask, so she continued: "When Doctor Bai left Xuchang, it was actually another shadow guard who was sent by the Queen Mother to monitor him, and later the shadow guard was about to complete other tasks, so he was called back by the Queen Mother, and she replaced me. ”
"You're only six years old, and you've been trained to be a special . Done? Bai Junzhuo looked at her distressedly, a girl without a childhood, really pitiful, pitiful.
Apricot didn't understand what a spy meant, so she didn't ask much, and continued: "My mother was originally a maid next to the Queen Mother, and she took care of me with her shadows, and then, I naturally became a shadow guard. ”
Bai Junzhuo secretly exclaimed, and didn't know why he suddenly remembered Hit. Le, the Queen Mother's means of cultivating henchmen are similar to his.
"So is the reason why Bai Gonglu left the palace or not? And the Queen Mother didn't kill Bai Gonglu, is it because she got the Bai family's share of the scroll? Bai Junzhuo then asked.
"I don't know much about the things back then, but the purpose of the Queen Mother sending me to sneak into the Bai family was indeed that scroll, originally the Queen Mother wanted me to steal the scroll, but then I don't know why the Queen Mother couldn't wait, so I asked me to kill Bai Gonglu. After I killed the White Divine Doctor, I searched all over the Bai Mansion and didn't find the scroll, so I thought that Miss was the most beloved daughter of the White Divine Doctor, and she should know the whereabouts of the scroll, so there was this series of things later. Speaking of this, Apricot suddenly knelt down again, and said to Bai Junzhuo: "Miss, I did a big bad thing, you once handed me the scroll of Baifu and asked me to take it down and put it away, I, I ......"
Bai Jun was shocked: "Could it be that you have already handed over the scroll to the Queen Mother?" ”
"No," Apricot shook her head: "I wrote down the words on the scroll, and handed over the one I wrote to the Queen Mother, and the original scroll is still in the palace." ”
Bai Junzhuo held his forehead and thought for a while, then raised his hand and said, "Presumably the Queen Mother can't understand the words on it, so you can get up first." ”
Apricot stood up, and Bai Junzhuo asked her, "Then you handed over the scroll to her, did she let your family go?" ”
Kyoko bit her lower lip and shook her head, "She asked me to keep an eye on you." ”
"That is to say, what people like the Queen Mother say is not credible at all." Bai Junzhuo summed up and asked, "Do you know why she is so obsessed with the Bai family scroll?" Grandma said that the things on the scroll are not a secret recipe for all diseases at all, can it still be the art of immortality? ”
Generally, powerful women like to pursue immortality, and their faces will stay forever. Presumably the Queen Mother is too.
Apricot shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know either." ”
Bai Junzhuo estimated that this was the case, so he no longer took this seriously, anyway, there could be no such thing as immortality in this world.
She said to Xingzi: "You and I should treat today's incident as if it hadn't happened, you continue to be the queen mother's eyeliner, don't let her see the flaws, let's first disintegrate the power of the Fu family step by step, and finally deal with the queen mother." ”
Apricot blinked her eyes and asked: "But to disintegrate the forces of the Fu family, this kind of thing is something that Your Majesty and the ministers have to do, and there is an old saying that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics......"
Bai Junzhuo couldn't help laughing: "First, I'm not His Majesty's harem, I'm a minister." Second, the queen mother is about to become an empress, how can there be such a thing as a harem that is not allowed to interfere in politics. ”
Apricot thinks about it and thinks it makes sense. Then he asked, "Then how is the young lady going to deal with the Fu family?" ”
Bai Junzhuo chuckled, "Wait." ”
Although Apricot didn't understand, she didn't ask much. Since Bai Junzhuo said that he was waiting, then just wait.
This waited until the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, during which Bai Jun made up all the business account books under Yin Xun and gave his own child enough prenatal education, presumably this child was born a business genius.
Yin Xun also taught Bai Junzhuo everything he could teach in a short period of time, so that even if he forgot everything one day, she alone could take the lead.
On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, as usual, the royal family and clan members must spend it in the palace. Bai Junzhuo was pulled up early in the morning, put on a set of slightly festive clothes, and entered the palace with Yin Xun.
It was snowing like goose feathers outside, and even though it was cold, it was a good sign of a good harvest for the coming year. The splendid palace was covered with a layer of snow, which made it look much softer and less aggressive than it used to be.
At the dinner, Yin Xun and Bai Junzhuo stood behind the princes and princesses, knelt down together and gave a big salute to the queen mother and the emperor, and after the eunuch finished reading the congratulatory words, everyone stood up and walked to their places and sat down.
Bai Jun looked at everyone with burning eyes, and finally fell on Fu Mingyue's body, Fu Mingyue's face was slightly tired, and she smiled a little reluctantly. She estimated that she would give birth in half a month, and after giving birth, it was time to draft a girl for the emperor. She must have been the abbot doing this.
Choosing a concubine for your beloved man must be very uncomfortable. It's good she doesn't.
Thinking of this, Bai Junzhuo put his hand under the table and gently held Yin Xun's hand.
Yin Xun turned his head and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
Bai Junzhuo lowered his head and whispered to him: "After the banquet is dispersed later, let's go to the West Market to play, okay for a night?" ”
These days, the streets and alleys of Chang'an are brightly lit, and the night market usually has to be noisy all night, which is very lively.
Yin Xun held her hand and nodded lightly, "Okay." ”
The banquet is the same, boring and restrained. finally waited for the queen mother to leave first, and then everyone got up one by one to leave.
Bai Junzhuo and Yin Xun were also going to go first, but Fu Mingyue followed, subconsciously glanced at Yin Xun, and then pulled Bai Junzhuo aside and said, "Didn't I remind you last time that there might be spies in your mansion?" Did you find out? ”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head and said, "I have tested everyone who is close to me except for the prince, and they are absolutely loyal to me, and they have absolutely no intention of betraying me. ”
Fu Mingyue was a little suspicious, but she didn't say anything more, only said, "Anyway, be careful yourself." ”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and smiled: "I know, I will go out with the prince later, and I will sit down with you when I enter the palace in the future, I will leave first." ”
Bai Junzhuo couldn't wait to return to Yin Xun's side, and Fu Mingyue opened her mouth, as if she wanted to speak and stopped.
According to what Zhu Yankang said, Yin Xun should have had a problem a long time ago, why does it seem that he is still the same as usual?
Fu Mingyue looked at Yin Xun's figure, and before she could ask, Bai Junzhuo and Yin Xun had already left here.
Out of the palace, the two went to the West Market.
The singing and dancing of the Chang'an Night Market is leveling, and the days of the New Year are even more lively than the daytime. Bai Junzhuo pulled Yin Xun to walk in the crowd, and the snow on the road had been trampled into water by pedestrians. She asked with some emotion: "Do you remember that the lantern festival in Luoyang, you gave me a glass lamp of 100,000 taels?" ”
Yin Xun's eyes were a little dazed, but he didn't show it, he raised his hand and gently pinched Bai Junzhuo's face and said, "How can I remember such a trivial matter." ”
Bai Junzhuo was unhappy, frowned and said, "You don't remember this?" I still think that lamp is our token of love! ”
Yin Xun smiled weakly, he wanted to remember, but he forgot, what could he do?
Recently, I have forgotten more and more things, and I always feel that many places in my mind have become blank, but I can't control myself from forgetting these things.
But it's okay, I remember her.
Yin Xun suddenly stopped and stared at Bai Junzhuo tightly.
Bai Junzhuo was taken aback by his sudden move, and also stopped, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Yin Xun didn't speak, Bai Jun scratched his head and said, "Actually, I'm joking with you, I'm not angry, it's just a glass lamp, forget it." ”
Yin Xun lowered his head and imprinted a kiss on her forehead. Bai Junzhuo felt strange in his heart, raised his head and asked, "Zisu, what's wrong with you all of a sudden?" ”
Yin Xun didn't answer, and said with a smile: "I was in the palace just now, and I saw that you didn't eat anything, so let's go and eat again now." ”
"Okay, okay!" Bai Junzhuo happily stopped Yin Xun's shoulder and shouted, "I want to eat dumplings, I should eat dumplings during the New Year!" ”
"It stands to reason that it is right to eat dumplings on the first day of the new year, and today you should eat big fish and meat." Yin Xun tapped her nose.
"How can you eat something greasy at night?" Bai Junzhuo dragged him to a dumpling shop, sat down with him, and ordered two bowls of dumplings.
Yin Xun looked at her and said, "Okay, I ate dumplings tonight, and tomorrow you have to make a dumpling for me to eat." ”
Bai Junzhuo grinned, nodded and said, "Okay, if you don't dislike what I make is not delicious, I will wrap it." ”
While speaking, the dumplings were already served, and the two of them ate them in large gulps.
Bai Junzhuo secretly looked at him through the heat, the cold poison on his body was almost resolved, he was more handsome than before, and his bearing was extraordinary.
It's nice to have such a warm and simple moment, and I wish it would always be like this.
After eating, I went crazy to play all night, and only returned to the Nine Kings Mansion when the east was getting white.
Bai Junzhuo was still on the rise, and said to Yin Xun: "Zisu, you go to sleep first, and I'll make dumplings for you to eat!" ”
Yin Xun was really tired, and seeing that she was still so excited, she nodded and went back to sleep.
Bai Junzhuo went to the kitchen with joy, humming a song while chopping meat filling, rolling dough, and making dumplings. After wrapping it, I found that although the dumplings I wrapped were not good-looking, the overall look was quite good.
She boiled the water, poured all the dumplings in one go, and then went back to the room and shouted Yin Xun to eat the dumplings.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Yin Xun standing beside the bed, Bai Junzhuo was stunned for a moment, and immediately stepped forward to button the collar for him, and asked with a smile: "Did you get up when you smelled the fragrance of dumplings?" ”
Yin Xun glanced at Bai Junzhuo with an inquiring gaze, patted away her hand resting between her collars, and asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”
