"Didn't you say that a big gift was prepared? That's it? In Yi Chenjing's study, Bai Qige couldn't cry or laugh when she looked at the gorgeous clothes on the case.

"Of course not, this is a preparation that must be done before accepting the gift." Throwing the clothes to Bai Qige, Yi Chenjing pointed to the screen, "Go and change your clothes, I'll see if it fits." ”

It's just a change of clothes, nothing to be embarrassed about, Bai Qige walked behind the screen generously and changed his clothes, and when he came out again, Yi Chenjing's eyes lit up, and the smile on his lips was impressive.

"It's good for you to wear some colorful clothes, it's a waste to always wear that tasteless plain shirt, and you are not allowed to wear it again in the future."

"You don't care what I wear?" Bai Qige really didn't have a good impression of the bright peach pink, and his favorability for Yi Chenjing, who chose this set of clothes, was also reduced by half a point, "Usually read less books on the art of war, if you continue to read it, you will be disgusted by women, how beautiful you think you are when you choose such an ugly color, I'm really sorry for your eyes." ”

In exchange for a meal of criticism and sarcasm, Yi Chenjing, who was not good at fighting, was speechless, but fortunately, the battle court outside knocked on the door and coughed lightly, which gave him an excuse to leave.

"Wait here, I'll be right back."

Yi Chenjing's uncertain and inexplicable people close to her know it, and Bai Qige doesn't have the habit of asking about gossip, anyway, Yi Chenjing won't hide what she should know, what she shouldn't know, even if she grinds his ears out of the cocoon, she can't get a half-word answer. Responding casually, Bai Qige, who was no longer familiar with the study, sat by the desk and looked through the military book, waiting for Yi Chenjing, who said that he was going to give her a big gift, to come back.

I don't know how long later, when the sleepiness gradually set in, the door creaked open.

"Why did you come back? I knew it was so slow—" Lazily looked up, and the remaining half of the words were swallowed alive.

The person who came in was not Yi Chenjing, but another man she was very familiar with, a man who had gently hugged her and comforted her, making her feel warm. The gentle smile is still the same, the tall body is as steady as a mountain, and the heroic face that has terrified countless enemies is still young, but it has been stained with wind and frost.

"Second brother!"

In an instant, Bai Qige, who had never shed half a tear in the face of countless sufferings, choked up in her voice, and when the warm palm gently patted on the top of her head, it was already tears like rain.

This is the great gift that Yi Chenjing gave her, the second son of the Bai family, the famous general of Zhaoguo in Kyushu, Bai Haocheng.

"Silly girl, she cries when she gets married and becomes a princess." The calloused fingers wiped away the tears on Bai Qige's face, Bai Haocheng held her in his arms like coaxing a child, and the soft light in his eyes was endless, "The mountains are high and the road is far away, every time I write to you, it takes a long time to receive a reply, and now that Zhaoguo is stable, I finally have time to come and see you in person." How's it going, how are you doing? ”

Bai Qige wanted to say that he was doing well, but his throat was so choked that he couldn't say half a word, so he could only nod desperately, desperately trying to make himself look happy.

Looking back at the closed door, Bai Haocheng helped Bai Qige's thin shoulders to look carefully, and his tone revealed deep distress: "How can you lose weight like this if you are doing well?" I'm afraid I won't recognize you when I walk. ”

After a long pause to wipe away her tears and her throat was not so painful, Bai Qige was finally able to speak.

"Isn't the second brother too? It's been less than a year since you've lost weight like this, and I almost don't recognize you when I walk. ”

Probably only when facing the Bai family, especially the generous and gentle Bai Haocheng, Bai Qige would show such an undoubted expression and tone with the little woman, with a hint of liveliness and playfulness, as if she was coquettish. This is the family, a group of people who will tolerate her and protect her at any time, even if she has made a big mistake, even if the world hates her and scolds her, only the family will stand up and shelter her from the wind and rain without asking for anything in return.

The family affection that she longed for in her previous life, she was willing to use a switch in this life.

After greeting many family matters, Bai Haocheng inquired about her situation in Yaoguo many times, Bai Qige didn't want her relatives to worry about her, and said that everything was fine every time she mentioned it, however, Bai Haocheng's faint eyes told her that he didn't believe it at all.

"The fifth prince once sent someone to Baifu to talk about what happened to you, and on the way to the palace, I heard that you had a miscarriage some time ago, and I didn't dare to tell my mother, for fear that she would fall ill in a hurry, but my father and I are always not at ease, and we have been looking for an opportunity to take you back." Lowering her voice again, Bai Haocheng held Bai Qige's slender wrist tightly, and a small object tied to a red thread was stuffed into her hand, "This talisman was found outside the city gate, and I guessed that you came to Yaoguo with a desperate determination, and even if you suffer a lot, you will endure it." You have been so introverted since you were a child, and you have held everything in your heart, how can my father and I rest assured? ”

"Second brother, you are too worried, Your Highness treats me very well, and the miscarriage is also because I was careless and did not pay attention to maintenance. It's the fifth prince, I wanted to write to you about this - don't believe whatever he says, if there is anyone in the Dayao Palace who wants to harm me, that person must be him. ”

Before I came, I thought that Bai Qige's closest person was the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan, who was "kindly reminded", but I didn't expect this to be the case, Bai Haocheng gasped, and his eyebrows were full of melancholy: "The more I talk about it, the more worried I am about you, I always feel that you don't even have someone to rely on and trust in this palace." ”

"Why not? Second brother, do you still remember Xiao Yu's fiancée, Chang Siyi, Miss Chang? Seeing Bai Haocheng nodding, Bai Qige said with a smile, "Miss Chang's best friend Jiang Jintuan when she was a child is the emperor's favorite Jin Zhaoyi, and she cares about me very much. There is also Emperor Yao, who always feels very kind after meeting. By the way, there is also Yu Che, I originally planned to send her back to Zhaoguo a few days ago, but who knew that this girl was determined to stay in Dayao to accompany me, and I was still thinking of finding an opportunity to kick her back to the Bai family and let the second brother take her in. ”

Bai Haocheng was born as a general, and he was heroic and invincible on the battlefield, but he was nine points short in the face of his children's affection, and he was half-jokingly talked about marriage by Bai Qige, and his face turned red immediately, and his tone was swallowed.

"Nonsense, Yu Che is still young, even if she grows up, she should find a man she likes to marry a good family, how can I take care of her if I am rude? Again...... Let's talk ...... again."

"Say anything more?"

Embarrassed to move his gaze to his feet, Bai Haocheng beat himself for half a day, licked his dry lips, and his voice was three points smaller than Bai Qige: "I already have someone I like, here, there is no room for others." Holding Bai Qige's hand and pointing it to his heart, his shy but firm tone couldn't hear the slightest falsehood.

The brain full of swords and soldiers has finally opened up, and I have begun to be interested in the love of children? Bai Qige suddenly felt a little funny, the second brother, who has never been close to women, has a sweetheart, and it is definitely worth celebrating with firecrackers from his father and mother.

Bai Qige originally planned to ask who it was, but he thought that he had lived in Zhaoguo for a long time, and the people he knew were only a few relatives who were closest to him, but even if he asked, he still didn't have a clear and unimpressed impression, so he simply gave up.

It's a little unbelievable to say, the place where she has lived the shortest time has her most caring people, these people are far away; The place where she has lived the longest time has the people she has come into contact with the most, these people are closest to her, but her heart is separated by layers of obstacles, and it is out of reach.

There was silence for a while, and there was a knock on the door from outside the door, and the voice of the battle court was still wooden: "Princess Qi'an, Your Highness said that after you finish chatting with General Bai, you will go to the side hall to eat, and lunch is ready." ”

In response to the battle court, Bai Qige turned around and asked, "Second brother, how many days will you stay here?" ”

"Go to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

It sounds like a long time, but it's actually only four days. Bai Qige sighed lowly, a little lonely: "I will go with him on this expedition, and I don't know when I will be able to come back." If I win the battle, I will take the time to go back to Zhaoguo, I haven't seen my father and mother for almost a year, and I don't know if they are doing well. ”

"You want to go with the army?" Bai Haocheng was surprised, and the look of worry on his face became more and more victorious, "Qige, the battlefield is ruthless, how can you go to that kind of place if you have never learned kung fu?" No, I'm going to find the Seventh Prince, and I must not let you go with him to the Holo Khanate!" ”

Bai Qige hurriedly grabbed Bai Haocheng, who got up in a hurry: "You listen to me." Now that several princes are vying for power, when Yi Chenjing is away, both me and Concubine Jing are like chopping boards and fish and meat are slaughtered by others, and how many people in the shadows are eyeing and want to take advantage of the opportunity to start There are too many to count, and he is also doing this to protect me. Second brother, don't worry, during this time, I didn't live idle in the dust Xuan, with the war court teaching me kung fu, and Yi Chenjing teaching me the art of war, I can protect myself well. ”

"Didn't lie to me?" Bai Haocheng was skeptical, but seeing Bai Qige's clear eyes, he couldn't find anything unusual, so he had no choice but to stop his impulse and turn around, and gently scraped the tip of Bai Qige's nose, "Actually, this time I saw that you are a lot thinner than before, but your spirit is much better, cheerful, and active, and you are like two people before." Qige, I've always wanted to ask you, ...... Is there something hidden from me and my parents? ”

The probing tone made Bai Qige feel uncomfortable, and she didn't want the Bai family to discover her true identity for the time being. Daddy and Mom are old, let them know that it is not their own daughter who lives in this body, but a stranger who has traveled from a distant time and space, can they accept the reality calmly?

Can't say, can't say, at least not now.

There was another urging from the battle court outside the door, Bai Qige took a deep breath to avoid answering, and pulled Bai Haocheng to propose to go to dinner first, and the moment he turned around, a huge force came from behind, and he couldn't help but take her into his broad arms.

"Qige, are you really doing well here? Tell me the truth! ”

The slightly harsh questioning made Bai Qige want to cry again, not because of grievances, but because of the heartwarming feeling. It's been in this world for so long, no one has asked her how she is doing, only the second brother asks her if she is doing well, and even if she lies and cheats to hide those painful memories, the second brother will still ask again and again with anxiety, worrying about her more than worrying about herself.

Unable to wait for Bai Qige's answer, Bai Haocheng couldn't help but have a lot of words in his heart, hugged his thin body tightly, closed his eyes and let what he thought in his heart turn into a sound, which passed into Bai Qige's ears bit by bit.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...... Qige, now I have enough strength to take you away, as long as you say you want to go home, even if you fight a bloody way, I will take you back to Zhaoguo and Baifu. Tell me, are you having a good time? Do you want to go back and go back to our home? ”
