Chapter 75: Mutual Reckoning
Ou Zhilan still couldn't believe it, tilted her head slightly, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then, what about your dead child, I have heard, that child was bruised when he died, and I heard that he was suffocated to death, you don't want to find out, who is the murderer?" ”
These words were like stepping on Ou Zhilan's death hole, which made her face pale in an instant. Bai Lilan also looked at her from the side, not saying a word. Seeing Ou Zhilan's down-and-out appearance, Bai Xuan'er smiled proudly.
Taking a deep breath, Ou Zhilan slowly raised her head, looked at Bai Xuan'er, and said with a calm smile, "I don't know where Princess Ling heard the news." That's a lie. My child died because of the nurse's neglect and cold, and if you want to blame, you can only blame the nurse for not taking care of her. I hope that Princess Ling will not be confused by people who chew the root of their tongues, their hearts are bad, and they spread rumors all day long, but they can't look down on others. In the future, Princess Ling will have to keep a distance from this kind of person, don't be used by them and don't know it. ”
The more Bai Xuan'er listened, the more ugly her face became. What kind of person who chews the root of the tongue, isn't this woman just talking about herself in circles! But she still managed to get angry, after all, people didn't mention herself by name, so Bai Xuan'er suffered a dumb loss and had nowhere to reason.
After enduring it for a long time, Bai Xuan'er seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked in a high voice, "Then, what about the rumors that you are emotionally unstable from the outside world?" This can't be a false rumor, there are a lot of doctors who came in and out of the Chenwang Mansion a while ago, just find out and ask a question! ”
Looking at Bai Xuan'er strangely, Ou Zhilan said frankly, "Princess Ling said this strangely, I am not in good health and need to be treated by a doctor, what is there to worry about Princess Ling?" Moreover, having just lost a child, which mother can laugh as usual? It's understandable to be sad all day long. Zhilan didn't understand why Princess Ling was always holding on to these things. If you just have an opinion about me, after all, I have done a lot of wrong things before, and I deserve to be misunderstood. But don't let the princess be affected by this, during the days of illness, thanks to the princess's care, there is today's Zhilan, if the princess is criticized because of this, then Zhilan is really ashamed to death! ”
Ou Zhilan's heartfelt words made Bai Xuan'er stunned. Looking at Ou Zhilan for a while, and looking at Baili Lan for a while, Bai Xuan'er really admired Bai Lilan in her heart.
"Third sister-in-law, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into this woman, she is so obedient to you! Where is the original arrogance? Hurry up, the third sister-in-law also teach me, let me go back and deal with those goblins in the palace! ”
Bai Xuan'er said excitedly, but Bai Lilan couldn't help laughing and said, "Princess Ling was dizzy from the quarrel of the concubines in the house." What kind of ecstasy soup, it's just a care. People are different, Concubine Ou knows how to be grateful to Dade, but some people are not like this, even if you treat her well, you will not be concerned about it at all. ”
"The third sister-in-law is right, it's just that in such a short period of time, the enemy can be turned into a friend, and the third sister-in-law is still very powerful!" At this moment, in Bai Xuan'er's eyes, there is another layer of aperture on Bai Lilan's body, she is not single, she is eloquent, and now she can play with mental skills. Hey, if you can learn half a point, if you really become a princess or even a queen in the future, then it will not be a problem to dominate the harem!
Seeing that Bai Xuan'er was talking about the topic farther and farther, Bai Lilan had to sit up straight and reminded, "I don't know why Princess Ling took the time to come to me today?" ”
After being reminded by Baili Lan, Bai Xuan'er reacted, slapped her head a few times, and said with a smile, "Look at my memory, I just talked for a while, and I forgot about the business." Quick, bring that pot of beauty pine! ”
The servant who had been waiting outside the door hurriedly brought in a pot of elegantly shaped ornamental pines. Although the pot of beautiful pine looks small, the pot is exquisite and the amount of soil is also abundant, so the servant is really difficult to move alone. Tired and sweating profusely, he finally moved the gift to Baili Lan.
"This is an ornamental pine sent by a relative in the house, named the beauty pine. The first time I saw it, I immediately thought of the third sister-in-law. This beauty pine is naturally going to match the beauty, and staying with me will only increase the laughing stock. ”
After a faint glance, Baili Lan said, "Princess Ling has a heart." Then, he motioned to Dongxue to move the beauty pine to the backyard.
Bai Xuan'er's servant, seeing that only Dongxue was coming alone, felt pity for Xiang Xiang and cherished the jade, bent down, and wanted to carry it with him. But before his hand touched the edge of the flower pot, he saw Dongxue effortlessly holding the beauty pine with one hand, and turned around and exited the front hall as if nothing had happened. This move not only stunned the family, but also made Bai Xuan'er unbelievable, secretly thinking that Baili Lan was really capable, and even the little maid around her was very talented.
"I have accepted the gift, thank you Princess Ling for your love."
Bai Xuan'er was stunned for a moment, and then waved her hand and smiled, "Whereever, as long as the third sister-in-law likes it." I, on weekdays, there are a lot of things in the house, and I can't get out of the way. Especially recently, the prince of my family has been very busy, and the people in the house have begun to flow endlessly, so I haven't seen my third sister-in-law for a long time. When I was free today, I thought I must come and see, we may not have sat together for a long time and had a good talk. As she spoke, Bai Xuan'er's gaze fell on Ou Zhilan as if she were nothing, and the meaning of driving away was self-evident.
Uncomfortable being stared at, Ou Zhilan got up and was about to leave. But as soon as her body left her seat, she was pressed back by Baili Lan. Looking at Bai Xuan'er casually, Baili Lan said, "We really need to move around more between our concubines, and feelings always arise after communication." It's just that I really didn't know that Princess Ling has been so busy lately that she doesn't even have time to go out of the house to get together. ”
Speaking of this topic, Bai Xuan'er seemed to have endless words, took a sip of tea and said, "The third sister-in-law doesn't know, since my prince gained power, those who saw the wind and made the rudder ran to the palace like crazy. The ladies and ladies, who can't speak at all on weekdays, seem to be familiar with me like handkerchiefs. Actually, I don't even know what they're called, ha, how funny you say. Oh, watching them flatter in front of me, it feels really fluttering! ”
Her brows furrowed, and Bai Lilan couldn't bear to interrupt her beautiful thoughts, "The reason why those stupid women stammered you is just to see the emperor's soft attitude towards Prince Ling, if one day, the emperor suddenly speaks ill of Prince Ling, I'm afraid those women will disperse faster than anyone else." You are immersed in this wandering mood all day long, paralyzed by it, your ears and eyes are blocked, and what great things can he accomplish one day! ”
"The third sister-in-law is really good to me, and she can point me out before the danger!" After Bai Xuan'er heard this, instead of being angry, she looked at Baili Lan with bright eyes, and said with joy, "Third sister-in-law, don't worry, I will never take those people to heart." But what does it matter if I receive gifts, and I will not promise them anything. Although I am a little confused in the small things, but in the big things, it is definitely reassuring! ”
Still wanting to continue talking, the servant outside the door hurriedly ran in and said in a panic, "Princess, go back to the house and have a look!" Zhou Ji and Anji are fighting! Zhou Ji's face was scratched by An Ji, An Ji's hand was broken by Zhou Ji, and the two of them were embarrassed, but they were still fighting! ”
When Bai Xuan'er heard this, her face immediately changed, and she said angrily, "Bastard, didn't I ask Concubine Sun to stop it, what did she do to make the two of them fight like that?" ”
"Concubine Sun? The slave didn't see the shadow of Concubine Sun! ”
Bai Lilan laughed softly, turned her head to look at Bai Xuan'er, and said coldly, "The one who is really bad for you is often the closest person around you. Go back and manage your palace well, don't let those women have the courage to do evil, and let them know who is the mistress of the palace! ”
In front of Bai Lilan, such a scandal was exposed, Bai Xuan'er only felt shameless, and at the same time, she was ruthless in her heart, and decided to clean up that Concubine Sun!
"Let the third sister-in-law smile today, and Xuan'er will come to visit the third sister-in-law another day."
Seeing Bai Xuan'er stand up, Bai Lilan also got up and walked out of the front hall, and said as she walked, "I was supposed to keep you in the palace for dinner, but I didn't expect this to happen suddenly." Well, I'll be ready for some time one day, and we'll have a good drink. ”
"The third sister-in-law is polite, today is my disappointment, and I will make amends another day!"
As he was talking, the group had already walked outside the gate of King Chen's mansion, and Bai Xuan'er couldn't help but be a little surprised and a little flattered when she saw Bai Lilan personally send her out.
"Third sister-in-law, stay quickly, this is all tormenting me." Holding Baili Lan with both hands, Bai Xuan'er said movingly, "It's cold today, you see that your hands are cold, go back quickly." ”
In fact, Bai Xuan'er didn't know that Bai Lilan's hands had always been cold. She doesn't like to be touched, not even a woman's. Without a trace, she withdrew her palm, and Bai Lilan said, "It's okay for me, you better go back to the house quickly, it's too late, I'm afraid those two women will lift the roof of the Lingwang Mansion." ”
Hearing this, Bai Xuan'er stopped greeting more, turned around and got into the carriage and walked away.
Following Bai Lilan back to the palace, Ou Zhilan thought for a long time, but didn't understand a question, so she asked, "Sister, why did we invite Bai Xuan'er with great fanfare today?" If you want to spread the news of my recovery through her mouth, then a simple gathering is enough, why do you send her out of the house in person? ”
"Did you see those rice cake sellers outside the palace just now? There are also those who sell silk, those who drink tea in teahouses, and those who eat steamed buns in steamed bun shops. ”
Bai Lilan didn't answer herself, but asked a plausible question. Ou Zhilan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
"Those people have the emperor's eyeliner, the eyeliner of Prince Ling, and naturally Ou Qingshan. They all want to see what happens after Shu Yichen is seized power. And Bai Xuan'er is coming to visit at this time, I'm afraid it's hard not to think about it! ”
***
Although Ou Zhilan tried her best to stay, Bai Lilan still did not have lunch at the palace of King Chen, because she had to go to Xiangke before dark.
At this moment, there are not many auspicious guests, and Chang'an Wuhua is standing outside the door of the store, as if he is talking to someone. When he caught a glimpse of Baili Lan, Chang An Wuhua immediately trotted over, with a bright smile on his face, and said, "Why are you free today?" ”
