Chapter 072: Apology Gift
As soon as the New Year passed, the dust Xuan was even more deserted than in previous years, Concubine Jing went to the palace to listen to the annual lecture outside the palace according to the custom, and Su Yan and Surao had to accompany the past, and they would not come back until they listened for seven days; Yi Chenjing picked up the expedition plan that was interrupted a few years ago, and soaked in the imperial study all day long to discuss the details with Emperor Yao and several important ministers and generals, and only Bai Qige was left as the master of the huge dust Xuan.
After the quarrel that day, Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing never saw each other again, not because Yi Chenjing was angry and ignored him, but because Bai Qige had been avoiding it, and even if there was something, it had to be conveyed through Yuche's note, Yi Chenjing was turned away when she came to Huixi Ju several times, and after many times, she understood what she meant - it was better to see each other again, and it was in vain to cause trouble. Since she didn't want to meet, Yi Chenjing simply lived in the imperial study, anyway, when Concubine Jing was away, there was no one else in the entire Qichen Xuan worthy of his concern, but occasionally when she was a little free, she would always remember her pale face when she saw Bai Qige for the last time, and it seemed that her physical condition was getting worse and worse.
In the deserted Huixi Residence compound, Yu Che held a full basket beautifully, pushed open the door and probed his brain: "Miss, Your Highness has asked people to send things again, there are a lot!" ”
"Send it back." Bai Qige was reading a book in the inner hall, and he replied without raising his head or thinking.
"Send it back?" Yu Che looked reluctant, "It's just a matter of sending back clothes and accessories and rouge spices, they are all things that the young lady doesn't like, this time His Royal Highness specially asked the war court to take the tonic from the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, even if the young lady doesn't care about her body, then you have to think about the child in the belly, right?" Since I arrived in Yaoguo, I've watched you lose weight in circles, and you're almost skinny! ”
"If you want to send it back, send it back, where is so much nonsense?" Putting down the book, Bai Qige glanced at Yu Che.
In the past few days, Yi Chenjing has been ordering people to send things over, first clothes and accessories, and then rouge water and rice, and after they were all returned by Bai Qige, he began to send some rare playthings or precious supplements, each of which is very expensive, and Yu Che's heart hurts and hurts when he sees it.
Holding the basket tightly and reluctant to let go, Yu Che flattened his mouth and drooped his little face: "Miss, you don't want to owe His Highness a favor, you don't have to, the little prince can't suffer with it, right?" Look at it, you can't see blood on your face, and if you continue like this, the little prince will become a hungry person, why don't you take the opportunity to let His Highness spend a good time? Anyway, it's for his son, and it's not for you, Miss. ”
"I haven't seen you grow in anything else, but your mouth is much more powerful, why, it's only been a few days before you become a lobbyist over there?" Lifting the brush and tapping it lightly on Yu Che's head, a slight smile appeared on his emaciated cheeks. Yu Che is right, even if she is unwilling to accept Yi Chenjing's favor, at least she must consider the child in her womb. took the basket and put it under the case, Bai Qige's expression softened a lot: "Accept it, don't talk nonsense to the outside world, it's rare that people are not in the dust Xuan, I can enjoy a few days of quiet, and if you get into trouble again, be careful that I sew your fast mouth shut." ”
Yu Che was complacent about his meritorious service, and before he could finish listening to Bai Qige's instructions, he walked out of the house with his little hands behind his back and pretended to be outside, and when he walked to a corner that Bai Qige couldn't see, he slipped out of the courtyard and ran to the corner of the wall with a long figure.
"Accepted?" Yi Chenjing looked into Huixi's residence from afar.
"The personal maids have all gone out in person, why wouldn't the young lady accept it?" Proudly inviting Gong, Yu Che's eyes rolled, and his smile was mixed with a hint of cunning, "Didn't Your Highness say that as long as you make the young lady happy, you will reward the slave maid?" Talking counts? ”
Yi Chenjing's attention was all on Huixi Ju, how could he have the heart to ask a maid what to ask, he still raised his head and said casually: "Naturally, as long as it is not an excessive request, it is up to you to make it." ”
"A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase. Then I can mention it - in the future, I won't call myself a slave in front of His Highness, I don't have this habit when I usually follow Miss, and when I see His Highness, I am very awkward to change my words, so I just call Miss there, okay? ”
It's just a matter of title, Yi Chenjing didn't want to be bound by strict etiquette and hierarchy, nodded in agreement, and never left the cold door of Huixi Residence.
Yu Che pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then suddenly reached out and pushed Yi Chenjing: "If you want to see Miss go in, Miss will accept things to mean that she is no longer angry with His Highness, what is there to hesitate?" It's a big deal to be shut out of the door and touch a nose again, and it doesn't matter if you have one more time or one less time. ”
"Why are you helping me coax Qige so much? Aren't you afraid that she will punish you? Since Yu Che is a slave with Bai Qige's master, Yi Chenjing was very surprised when he heard Yu Che say that he was willing to help coax Bai Qige, before this girl looked at him with fear and faint disgust in her eyes, but she didn't expect to change her attitude and become his "little accomplice" after just a few days, and she couldn't understand why.
Yu Che didn't think there was anything difficult to answer this question: "Your Highness used to be bad to Miss, and of course I don't like Your Highness; But in the past few days, when I saw that His Royal Highness always had to sneak back and dangle in front of the door, I remembered that the five princes were like this before, and those things that were sent, I heard that the war court said that they were all personally selected by His Royal Highness, and I can treat Miss so carefully, can I continue to hate it? Seeing that Yi Chenjing wanted to open his mouth to refute, Yu Che hurriedly shook his hand and continued: "Don't speak, listen to me first-I don't know about the Chen sesame rotten grains that Your Highness and Miss were in Zhaoguo back then, I only know that Miss really wants to help His Highness, otherwise I wouldn't have been frowning at a pile of broken drawings by lighting lamps day and night." Your Highness, you look like you have a stinky face but secretly care about people, your temper is turned upside down for a while, and you will make up for it in every possible way when your anger is gone, don't you know Miss's temper? That's not going to work. ”
After living for half a life but being educated by a little girl, Yi Chenjing couldn't cry or laugh, and there was a faint expectation in his heart: "Then what do you think I should do?" ”
"Isn't that easy?" Yu Che wanted to recite two lines of poetry with full face, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't remember what it was, so he had to fool and say, "What's what, it's better to take pity on the person in front of you." If His Royal Highness really wants to apologize and make amends, he will be better to Miss, in my opinion, just let Miss, the princess, sit down! ”
The half-joking sentence made Yi Chenjing fall silent suddenly, and the smile that he had finally shown disappeared.
No matter how good Bai Qige is, no matter how good he is, no matter how good he is, how can he really become a princess and have a husband and wife relationship with him?
"You go to the dining room first, I'll have some tonic soup cooked, and I'll bring it to her when it's ready." After standing for a moment, Yi Chenjing waved his hand to stop talking, and the lonely figure walked towards the gate of Huixi Residence.
Yu Che didn't close the door when he left, and the cold wind blew into the front hall along the crack in the door, and the temperature in the inner hall also dropped. Bai Qige had no choice but to put down the book and get up to close the door, and as soon as he walked to the front hall, he saw Yi Chenjing pushing the door in, and his brocade robe exuded the smell of frost and snow.
"Your face is still so bad, have you eaten and rested well?" In order to avoid the embarrassing situation of being kicked out, Yi Chenjing spoke first.
"It's good to be able to pant and talk and do things for you, whether your face is good or bad, what do you care so much?"
The door is usually closed, and Yu Che has not forgotten the problem of closing the door, Yi Chenjing appeared at this time to show that the door was deliberately left for him, plus Yu Che Xiaozhi was moved by emotion to leave the things he sent, Bai Qige instantly guessed that his personal maid had betrayed into Yi Chenjing's faction.
"Dead girl......" glanced at Yu Che who was peeking at the door outside the house, and Bai Qige hated and whispered.
"What is she to blame for? I asked Yuche to do this. Yi Chenjing closed the door and cut off Bai Qige's sight, and the room was much warmer, and even the angular face was dyed with a few wisps of warmth. After walking into the inner hall in front of Bai Qige, and seeing that the basket was placed safely under the case, Yi Chenjing showed an imperceptible smile: "They are all gentle tonics, Imperial Doctor Fang said that it is most beneficial to worry about labor, if you are used to eating, I will let Zhanting take it." ”
"No, I don't have to. Rounding around the bush and talking a bunch of nonsense, what the hell are you trying to say? Bai Qige still had a cold attitude, not only was there no respect between her words, but her sense of alienation was even worse than that of a stranger.
What Yi Chenjing can't stand the most is her soft and hard temper, but looking at her complexion that can almost be described as withered, she is obviously angry but can't get out, so she can only sigh and think that she is not as good as being cold and hard.
"The matter has been clarified, the apology has been said, you are still lingering, are you too stingy?" Walking into Bai Qige's side, Yi Chenjing lowered his head slightly, and happened to meet the pair of eyes that raised his eyebrows, as quiet as stagnant water.
In his memory, although Xiao Yingge is introverted, he does not lose his delicate spirit, a pair of watery eyes are looking forward to life, not at all like the pair he sees now, calm, peaceful, hiding countless storms deep in his heart, and he can't see through it. Three years, just three years, the three people who once vowed never to separate have come to this point, Hongxuan is dead, Xiaoyingge has changed, he has changed from a proton who is humiliated to a prince general with heavy troops, if there is anything he doesn't want to change, then it must be a brave woman who dares to resist him in front of him.
It's not a little warbler song, but a white song of white qi.
took out the flat piece from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Qige, Yi Chenjing said lightly: "This is the latest situation reported by King Zhao. After finding out that the betrayal of Zhao Guo was all caused by the temptation of Yun Zhongjin, the Bai family had been acquitted of amnesty, and King Zhao allowed Bai Jingfu to return to his hometown with a special reward for his outstanding military achievements. Your second brother Bai Haocheng is unwilling to take off his military uniform, so he voluntarily stays in the capital Liangshi to garrison, and commands the three armies as a general, and can bypass King Zhao to negotiate directly with me in the future. ”
Stealing the defense map and presenting it to the enemy's leading general, this is a crime that Bai Qige really committed, and putting all the blame on Yun Zhongjin must be Yi Chenjing's interference, how could Bai Qige not see it? It doesn't matter if she will be a traitor for 10,000 years, the important thing is that if what Yi Chenjing said is true, the current Bai family can be regarded as completely freeing from the crisis.
Accepting the recital, a strand of hair covered the almost invisible bruise on the neck: "What does this mean? ”
"Just take it as an apology." Yi Chenjing took out another letter in a trick, and the neat font on the envelope belonged to Bai Haocheng. Giving the most powerful gift, Yi Chenjing's eyes were deep: "Qige, forgive me, okay?" ”
