Gently took a sip of tea, Baili Lan's figure did not move, and the corners of her mouth hooked a smile like nothing, and said: "Flower language also has to meet bosom friends, it seems that the Duchess of Jin Kingdom does like elegant things, so she will see the unusualness of ordinary things." Looking at the woman in her forties in front of her, Bai Lilan stretched out her hand elegantly and said, "It's so hot outside, you have to come over, sit down and rest." ”

"Heh, I can see the queen's mother, why do the courtiers still feel hot? I just felt refreshed...... "The Duchess of Jin Guo was elegantly dressed and smiling, but in her eyes, there was no joy at all.

Putting the teacup aside, Baili Lan looked at the woman in front of her, knowing in her heart the purpose of her coming. But Baili Lan did not say anything, but waited quietly. Sure enough, in less than half an hour, the Duchess of Jin Guo was restless. In this heaven and earth, it is estimated that no one can sit firmly in Baililan's perceptive eyes.

Stirring her handkerchief, the smile of the Duchess of Jin became more and more difficult to maintain, and finally she was ruthless and said, "Niangniang, the courtiers will tell you the truth." Well...... Is King Xianqing back? ”

Fiddling with the ring at the time, Bai Lilan slightly hooked the corners of her lips and said, "It's been a few days since I came back, what's wrong?" ”

"The courtiers heard that King Xianqing also brought a woman back this time?"

"That's right."

With a pale face, the Duchess of Jin Guo said anxiously: "I don't know what kind of woman the other party is, so the prince wants to marry home?" That doesn't make sense! Niangniang, King Xianqing is the first king with a different surname since the founding of our country, so it seems inappropriate to do it so easily......"

"Then according to the meaning of the Duchess of Jinguo, what is the right thing to do?" Bai Lilan supported her chin with one hand, looked at the Duchess of Jin with a smile, and asked, "Could it be that marrying your family's Huanqin is perfect?" ”

"Heh, the courtiers don't mean this, but they feel worthless for the prince." The Duchess of Jin Guo smiled wryly and said, "Look, the prince is dignified, how many girls in the capital are devoted to him?" With such good conditions, of course, you have to choose a daughter-in-law, and your net worth and conduct must be compatible with each other. But now if you find a girl from outside, you will be on the throne of the princess, no matter how you listen to this, I don't think it's reliable. Niangniang, the prince is your own brother, you must think carefully for the prince. ”

Looking at the real appearance of the Duchess of Jinguo, if you don't understand the inside story, I'm afraid you will really think how worried she is. But in fact, Bai Lilan knew very well what this woman was thinking about.

Bringing the teacup and sipping it gently, Baili Lan sighed and seemed to hesitate and said, "Hey, it's hard to stop me if I want to." Xiaobao has never liked a woman as much as he does now, how can Bengong, who is a sister, break his thoughts? That's too cruel. ”

"Niangniang, the women and courtiers outside the palace have seen a lot, and they are indeed more exciting than the daughters of the family, and they know how to please men. But this is just a temporary freshness, and when the prince passes that freshness, he will naturally abandon it like a piece of decay! Niangniang now, just wait and see what happens, at most it will only be three months, and the prince will be tired of seeing it. These two people's identities are too different, their living habits are different, and their preferences are different, so it's strange that they can live together. ”

The more the Duchess of Jin Guo spoke, the more she felt that her daughter still had a play, and her face gradually became ruddy, as if Jin Xia was about to be kicked out of the palace.

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Bai Lilan dragged out her voice, making it impossible to distinguish the joy and anger in it, and said, "Listening to your words, it seems to be very experienced." ”

"Heh, the mother is really joking, where did the courtiers get their experience? It's just that the family has experienced a lot of such things, so I said a few more words, hoping that Niangniang will not blame. "The Duchess of Jin Guo knows that she has talked a lot today, and she is afraid that she will provoke the queen. But for the sake of his baby daughter, even if he angers the queen, there are some things he still has to say! Looking up at Baili Lan, the Duchess of Jin Kingdom bit her lip, and finally said with a ruthless heart, "Niangniang, the courtiers heard that the girl named Jinxia is a well-known woman in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is really bad for the reputation of the prince to bring such a woman back." ”

Her eyebrows and eyes were cold, and Bai Lilan's voice was also frosty, but on the surface, she was still light and light, and asked, "How do you know about this?" ”

Hearing this, the Duchess of Jin Guo lowered her head a little embarrassed and said, "I'm ashamed to say it, there are men in the family who are familiar with this name, and when I go back and inquire a few times, I will understand." Niangniang, if you let others know that the prince married a prostitute as a concubine, it will really become a laughing stock! It is not surprising that the prince is young and vigorous and likes beautiful and hot women. But you have to persuade it, otherwise it will be bad for the reputation of the prince......"

Staring at the Duchess of Jinguo, Bai Lilan did not let go of every slight change in her expression, her eyebrows narrowed slightly, like a cunning fox, and said, "Then how do you think I should mention this matter to the prince in a different way?" You also know that the prince has a very stubborn temper, and if he says it badly, it may make him feel disgusted, rebellious, and make things backfire. ”

"Niangniang, the courtiers are not talented, but they have already thought of a good plan for Niangniang......" The Duchess of Jin Guo seemed to have finally waited for the right time, and said with a little excitement, "The prince has now been lost by that woman, I am afraid that his mind is on it, and the words of others will not be listened to." But if you let another lady stand and compare with that woman, then you can judge it immediately......"

The Duchess of Jin's abacus crackled, and Bai Lilan also understood what she meant. Her eyes drooped, and Bai Lilan seemed to be distressed, and muttered, "Everyone is beautiful...... There are a lot of school-age girls in this capital, but they are good enough, and there are really not a few. Suddenly made Bengong think, Bengong is still a little embarrassed. ”

"Niangniang, what's so embarrassing about this kind of thing, let's go to the palace to live in the palace for a few days, isn't it okay?" The Duchess of Jin Guo looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and her demeanor of abandoning her ego made uninformed people think that the Duchess of Jin Guo had really done the thing of cutting meat and feeding the wolves.

"That's a good idea." Bai Lilan seemed to have suddenly solved the problem, and said with a smile, "With such a comparison, Xiaobao naturally knows who is the best candidate for his princess." It's just that after working hard, Huanqin has to do this thankless job. ”

"Ouch, what is Niangniang talking about, we are happy to be able to serve Niangniang, it is already a great blessing, where do we dare to say that it is hard?" The Duchess of Jin couldn't even close her mouth, and she praised Baili Lan vigorously, and by the way, she also praised her daughter, who was gentle and virtuous, generous and virtuous, and was simply the best choice for the princess.

After patiently being polite to the Duchess of Jinguo, Bai Lilan asked her to be sent out of the palace, while she leaned back in her chair and sighed: "This woman really doesn't marry her precious daughter for a day, and it won't stop for a day." I'll see when the emperor will give her a marriage, so as to save me from annoying me when I get old. ”

When Xiangyu heard this, she smiled and said, "Since Niangniang hates her so much, why do you have to agree to the request of the Duchess of Jinguo?" The slave maid heard that the happy girl is also a pungent character, if she arrives at the palace, will she bully Miss Jinxia? ”

"I'm also curious, that's why I agreed to that woman's request......" Bai Lilan stroked her long hair and smiled playfully, "Facing a crisis is the best opportunity to see how a person's nature is, and it is just right for Xiaobao to take a look." Seeing is believing, and it's more convincing than anything else. Looking at Xiangyu sideways, Baili Lan said, "You will go to the Jinguo Mansion in my name now, and let her eldest daughter go to the Xianqing Mansion to live." ”

"Niangniang, what is the reason for staying here this time?"

"Hmm......" Bai Lilan thought for a moment and said, "Let's just say that there are a few pots of rare flowers and plants in the Xianqing Palace, and the gardener is not taking good care of them, and they are withering day by day. The happy girl is good at cooking flowers and plants, so she asked her to help the palace take a look. ”

After listening carefully, Xiangyu smiled and said, "Niangniang's reason is really justified, and no one can pick out anything." With that, Xiangyu retreated and took the order.

***

The past ten days of living in the Xianqing Mansion can be said to be the happiest time in Jinxia's life. In the huge palace, everyone treated her with respect, as if she were the mistress here. The housekeeper will ask her opinion on everything, for fear of taking care of it inappropriately, and that conscientious appearance makes Jinxia have a sense of satisfaction that she has never had. Although his clothes are not as fancy as before, the fabric of each garment is extremely precious, far from being comparable to those ordinary products in the past. And what satisfies Jinxia the most is Baili Qingbao's attitude towards herself.

Every day, Baili Qingbao will greet himself and take himself to the capital, enjoy the scenery of different places, and taste the food of each place. She never knew that life could be so comfortable, she didn't have to go through the details to please men, she could live in the sun openly, and she didn't have to look at anyone's eyes to act.

But it didn't take long for such a day to disrupt everything because of the unexpected appearance of a woman.

Looking at the woman in front of her in a red dress and a red dress, Jin Xia was a little dumbfounded. She looked at Baili Qingbao and asked, "Lord Wang, this is ......?"

"In the lower Tang Dynasty, Huanqin is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Jin." Smiling softly at Jin Xia, Tang Huanqin introduced herself in a gentle tone. Then he looked at Baili Qingbao and said, "Why am I here, I guess Niangniang has already informed the prince." In the past few days, I am afraid that I will trouble the prince to take care of it. ”

How could Baili Qingbao not see that this woman had other intentions? But this woman is clever and never speaks her mind, and allows gossip to spread outside, as if she is not talking about her.

With his hands behind his back, Baili Qingbao nodded slightly, and said in an estranged tone: "Azu, go and clean up the guest room, you must not wronged Miss Huanqin." ”
