Chapter 032: Old Cases and New Schemes
Yi Chenjing's words made Bai Qige not know how to respond, no matter how awkward the posture was, it was not as awkward as the awkward atmosphere between the two. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
He actually thought that she was in love with Yi Chenxuan, and things that even she couldn't determine could easily become "reality" in Yi Chenjing's mouth, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Forget it, I don't understand it to you, anyway, you just need to understand my attitude." Taking advantage of Yi Chenjing's unpreparedness, Bai Qige suddenly raised his hand and pushed towards his right elbow, Yi Chenjing was not on guard, his elbow lost support, and he almost fell on the bed. In a blink of an eye, Bai Qige quickly fled from under his heavy body, and when Yi Chenjing reacted, half surprised, half annoyed, and looked at the woman who was far away from the bed, she was already wearing her middle clothes and standing out of his reach.
"The drawings will be given to you tomorrow, in exchange, don't pursue today's matter, it won't be good for you and me in the end." Dressed neatly, Bai Qige calmly tucked her waterfall-like black hair in the wind, "If you can believe it, you might as well tell me about the expedition, maybe I have some ideas that can help." β
The half-light and half-dark candle shadows swayed, Yi Chenjing was lazy and half-lying, his eyes were always fixed on Bai Qige and did not move for half a minute, and he was silent as if it did not exist, until the thin but straight figure walked to the door and said lightly, "Be careful on the road."
The cold wind swept into the room at the moment when the door was opened and closed, the candles on the table were extinguished, and listening to the footsteps outside the door, Yi Chenjing closed his eyes and fell into a piece of afterfragrance, raising his voice slightly.
"The court."
After a while, there was a slight sound on the door: "Your Highness has an order?" β
"Let's not mention this incident for the time being, if you dare to lie to me again and punish me for several crimes, you will bear all the consequences. And-" Rubbing the corners of his forehead with a headache, Yi Chenjing's tone was full of helplessness, "Also, there is no need to guard outside when there is such a time in the future." β
ββ¦β¦ Oh. After a long time, a wooden and embarrassed answer came from outside the door.
The expected storm did not come, not even a trace of gloomy clouds could be seen, Huixi Ju was cold and quiet as always, but there was a gray goshawk on the big tree in the courtyard, often cooing in a low voice, and the golden eyes were bright and shining.
The sweeping maid who used to serve here was transferred to the dining room to help, and although her work was much easier than before, she was always panicked on her face, as if she had lost her soul. Su Rao often went to the dining room at first to ask a few questions with concern, but after a few days, it gradually faded away, and the last time she saw the maid, Yi Chenjing was also present.
"It looks familiar." Passing by the maid by chance, Yi Chenjing casually bypassed a wisp of green silk, and his fingertips flicked the ring gold and jade earrings.
The maid was blushing with her heart, her cheeks were blushing, and she deliberately raised her voice in a soft voice: "Mrs. Su Rao has always treated her subordinates very well, and these earrings are also given to the slave maid by Mrs. Su Rao, and the other girls in the palace are envious." β
"This little benefit is enviable? Won't what I'm going to give you make them jealous? Calm face suddenly condensed into frost, Yi Chenjing snorted coldly, and mercilessly stroked off a pair of jade bracelets on the maid's wrist, "Come on, drive her out for me, and I will not be allowed to step into the palace for half a step in my life." β
"Damn it! Your Highness, forgive your sins! Mrs. Surao, Mrs. Surao! You save the slave and the slave, and the slave and the slave do as you say! β
No matter how much she begged for mercy, she couldn't escape punishment, Su Rao lowered her head and didn't dare to see the maid being rudely dragged away, no matter how peaceful Ren Yi Chenjing called her name, the trembling on her body couldn't stop.
Su Yan Surao has been married into the dust Xuan for more than a year, Yi Chenjing knows that he is sorry for the two sisters, even if he has some mistakes, he pretends not to see them, but this time the matter is very important and he has committed the most taboo curse, so he really can't continue to connive.
"If you want to stay in the dust Xuan, learn more from your sister, I hate women who tell right and wrong, if there is a recidivism - you are not too young, instead of spending your years by my side, it is better to find a good family to be a main room, and it is not in vain that I get acquainted with your father." Leaving vague words, Yi Chenjing left alone in the direction of Huixi Residence.
Jealousy is inevitable among wives and concubines in the deep palace, and the men don't care about it not because they don't understand, but because they don't want to pay too much attention to the short and trivial things in the family, and Yi Chenjing is no exception. The maid clearly said that she was the only one present that day, why did Su Rao know that she saw everything? These servants all knew what it meant to be in trouble, and they would never easily tell outsiders what they had seen with their own eyes, and the earrings that Su Rao rewarded to the maid were very valuable enough to explain something.
It's just that he didn't expect that his suspicion and humiliation of Bai Qige would become the reason for Su Rao's jealousy, and it seems that her life as a concubine in a foreign land will not be too easy.
Bai Qige, who is accustomed to getting up early, contemplated at the table early in the morning, and the thick stack of drawings on the table was changed and changed, but it never achieved the desired effect, and she couldn't help frowning more and more, and threw the paper out of the door in a ball irritably.
"What's your tantrum in the morning?" Recently, the common figure stepped into the room in a hurry, looked at the abandoned drawings on the table and shook his head, "If you can't draw, you can rest, I didn't force you to submit it one day, and now my mother blames me for being harsh and cold, and I think you are sad because you are not favored and hiding alone in Huixi Residence." β
When he was upset and met someone who was bored, Bai Qige naturally didn't have a good face: "You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, do you want me to die in Yaoguo with white hair?" β
"What's so bad about dying here? Brocade clothes and jade food are carefree, how many women desperately want to enter the palace as concubines but can't do so, with your appearance to have today is already a great blessing. β
"I knew that His Highness had a different taste and preferred ugly and cruel faces, so I should have stayed away to avoid this sin in the first place." Dropping down the pen, Bai Qige slanted a glance at Yi Chenjing, who was leisurely and complacent, "If you have something to say, what trouble do you want to find today?" β
In Bai Qige's heart, Yi Chenjing is often tied to the word unlucky, and it is definitely not a good thing for him to take the initiative to come to the door.
Yi Chenjing raised his eyebrows, and the corner of his mouth was not very clear: "Since you think it's troublesome, I won't bother, it's just a letter from home, and you are so busy that you don't have time to read it carefully." β
"Give it to me!" Hearing the word family letter, Bai Qige swept away her irritability and stood up from the stool, and the look of anticipation was difficult to hide.
Xu is limited freedom and inconvenient to contact, there have been few letters from the Bai family, Yi Chenjing can be regarded as keeping the contract, and each letter will be sent to the Bai Qi singer by hand. With Yi Chenjing's secret instructions, King Zhao did not condemn the Bai family, Bai Jingfu was allowed to return to his hometown, and Bai Haocheng succeeded his father as the first general of Zhao Kingdom, but he was just a puppet without any real power, used to restrict his sister who was thousands of miles away as the princess. Such a result has made Bai Qige extremely satisfied, at least no one in the Bai family has been convicted because of her, father, mother, second brother, younger brother, everyone is alive and well, and that's enough.
After reading a letter for a long time, when Yi Chenjing and the others began to urge, Bai Qige carefully folded the letter and put it in the box, and sighed with satisfaction: "I will tell you about the expedition plan when I have time tonight, and Concubine Jing will listen to the chanting during the day, and I can't get away for a while." β
"Not tonight." Yi Chenjing immediately shook his head and said, "Tonight, the prince has set a banquet to entertain the famous gamblers, and he wants all the princes to go to support him, and the three concubines will go with him at that time." Jin Zhaoyi also specially sent someone to invite you and Su Yan, and I came mainly to tell you about it. β
"The vassal is elegant, a good prince is not appropriate, and he is very active in appreciating flowers and birds, chanting poems and painting every day." Bai Qige laughed sarcastically.
The eldest son of Yaoguo is the emperor, and the future of the eldest prince who was born the emperor's life is set, and he does not want to make progress all day long, and he is greedy for pleasure, although the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have complaints, they can only hold it in their stomachs. Fortunately, the crown princess is the daughter of Youcheng, and there are royal relatives to help the former dynasty, and the queen and princess are firmly in charge of the harem, and the crown prince is also sitting safely. However, the prince who has no intention of politics has a big helpless preference, that is, he dances and writes about some silk and bamboo orchestras, landscapes and beauties, and invites celebrities from all over the world to come to the palace to hold a feast at every turn.
"I'm not familiar with the rules and etiquette in the palace, and it's even more inconvenient for me to show up with the three concubines tonight, so it's better to let Sister Su Yan accompany you alone." Considering a large number of shackling regulations, Bai Qige felt a wave of fatigue from the bottom of his heart.
Yi Chenjing took out two jade bracelets from his sleeves and threw them on the table, looking indifferent: "My mother goes to bed early at night, you are willing to stay in the dust Xuan and fight with Su Rao, I don't care." β
The two jade bracelets were given by Bai Qige to block the mouth of the sweeping maid, and seeing that they fell into Yi Chenjing's hands, Bai Qige already knew eight points in her heart - the person who revealed the news to Yi Chenjing and bought the maid to testify against her was indeed Su Rao, which was exactly the same as her guess. However, it is rare that Yi Chenjing will solve the matter one step ahead of her, and even return the jade bracelet that she gave away with pain.
The pair of jade bracelets were brought to Zhaoguo by Yuche from her mother, and the words "Yingge" were engraved on the left and right, full of thoughts and pinned on them, if it were not for the last resort, Bai Qige would not give away such a precious thing if she said anything.
"Thank you." Almost inaudible whispered thanks, Bai Qige put the jade bracelet back on his wrist, and showed a soft smile on his face that he didn't even notice it.
"Worthless words." Yi Chenjing sneered, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head slightly to Bai Qige's ear, "If you want to thank me, I'll do something for me." β
Bai Qige rolled her eyes.
There is no free lunch in the world, and it is impossible for him Yi Chenjing to give favors for no reason, and he really has a purpose behind. That's it, compared to the baby lost and recovered, it is not too much to help him with one or two things, I hope it will not be too outrageous request.
Reluctantly hummed to accept, Bai Qige closed the door and sat at the table, picked up the pen and scribbled on the paper: "If you have short hands, you deserve to be unlucky." Say, what do you want me to do? β
The previous casual breath was swept away, and the seven princes of the distant country suddenly showed their edge, and the elegance between the eyebrows was endless, and they were unparalleled in the world.
"I want you to get drunk again, and find an opportunity to sneak into the apse of the East Palace to check one thing for me."
Bai Qige took a deep breath.
The East Palace, which is the residence of the crown prince who is heavily guarded, is second only to the palace of the Emperor Yao.
