There is a plum garden behind the imperial study, everything is depressed and lifeless in winter, only the red flowers here reflect the snow, it is very good-looking.

"Why did you suddenly remember to send Yuche away, isn't she good here? This season is windy and snowy, and there are many inconveniences on the way back to Zhaoguo, and there may be dangers when passing through the mountains, so why not wait until spring after the snow melts? Yi Chenjing, who was dressed in a light purple crown suit, held his hands, and his face seemed puzzled.

Bai Qige stayed up for a day and a night in her room with her eyes open, and in the end she didn't wait for Yu Che, guessing that the girl was determined to leave, and since she had made up her mind, she could only fulfill her promise. Zhan Ting escorted Bai Qige all the way to the imperial study, just in time for Emperor Yao to return to the palace to rest when he was unwell, Yi Chenjing put down his affairs and took her out for a walk, and couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard that she wanted Yu Che to return to Zhaoguo.

"Yu Che is not young, the imperial doctor in the palace is old, and the guards are not free, so it is only right to go back to Zhaoguo to find a good family. Zhao Guo has the custom of going to the green, and if you go back before spring, you may be able to get a few children from good families, and you may miss the opportunity later. Bai Qige casually found a reason to prevaricate.

The relationship between Bai Qige and Yu Che is better than that of master and servant, and this arrangement is also reasonable, Yi Chenjing didn't think much about it, and after a few words of comfort, he didn't ask anymore.

When the wind blows, a few thin patches of snow on the blooming red plum petals are blown to the ground, but the flowers still stand proudly on the branches, and they are even more eye-catching and gorgeous under the speckled sunlight.

"My mother said that the character of red silk is like this plum, it looks delicate, but it is tough and noble inside, and it is naturally different." Bending down to pick up a piece of falling petals, Yi Chenjing said in a gentle voice, "When you were a child, you were timid and afraid of being bullied by others, and it was always Hongxuan who rushed forward to stand up for you. ”

"That kind of woman is the real temperament, no wonder you are so obsessed."

With an unacceptable cruel truth hidden in his heart, and Yu Che was about to leave, Bai Qige seemed absent-minded when he spoke. Yi Chenjing saw that she didn't have much energy, so she stopped mentioning the matter of Hongxuan, stopped and tightened her cloak, and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "What progress is there on Yun Zhongjin's side?" ”

Bai Qige's heart tightened, and he turned his head to look aside to avoid being discovered, and flashed his eyes: "It's not a big deal, and many things have to be inquired repeatedly." It's been so long, it's hard to say how much truth can be restored, so you can only take one step at a time and try to check it out. ”

"It's been a hard time for you." As if thinking of something, Yi Chenjing suddenly smiled lightly, "By the way, my father and the even general have seen the ordnance map you drew and praised it again and again, and there are a few things that are not too fine or omissions have been handed over to the Yantian Battalion for modification, and there is no accident that it will be handed over to the Gongtian Battalion for production later, and this Northern Expedition will almost be used." If you want, I would like to find a time for you to meet with the occasional general, he will not go to the Khoro Khanate, and you can ask him for advice on the art of war at your leisure. ”

General Puppet is a general of Yaoguo Zhengyipin, although he is not as famous as Bai Jingfu and admired by everyone in Kyushu, but he is also a battlefield hero who makes countless achievements in the art of war, and he can get his guidance to save a lot of suffering from reading military books, Yi Chenjing arranged this in the hope that Bai Qige can master the art of war as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a waste of her wisdom.

"You can do it, but what I'm good at is deploying troops in the formation, and I have to be dull tactically after all, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you." There is always something unstable in his heart, Bai Qige decided to find an excuse to take a step first, so as not to say too much about being discovered by Yi Chenjing, "I still have to prepare something for Yu Che to go back, if there is something to do, let Zhan Ting go to Huixi Residence to say something." ”

"Go ahead, be careful on the road." Nodding goodbye to Bai Qige, Yi Chenjing stood in place and watched her walk away step by step, and suddenly felt a feeling.

The current Bai Qige is very much like the red silk, or compared to the red silk, she is more like the frost and cold plum in the snow pile, which seems to be simple and unpretentious but has hard bones, and stands out in a plain environment, bullying the wind and proud of the snow. Strong as her, like red silk, is the one who can go to the end by his side.

Out of the Lamei Garden, Bai Qige wanted to go back to Chenxuan directly, but who knew that he met the prince Yi Chenyu unexpectedly, and the elegant and graceful prince still remembered the woman in front of him who was not good-looking but left a deep impression on him, and his bright smile was like a sunny day: "Isn't this the princess of the seventh brother?" After a few hearty drinks that day, the princess's free and bold made the royal brothers sigh with emotion and remember, and they are still often mentioned today. I feel more and more honored when I see it today, there is such a strange woman as the princess in the palace, and I always feel that there is a lot of brightness. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won the award, the concubine is from a humble background and does not understand etiquette, please bear with me if it damages the face of the royal family."

"Where, I think women should be like this, and it is inevitable to be rigid in sticking to small sections. Ah, also, the habits of Zhaoguo and Yaoguo are different, and the princess must understand some of the rules of the Great Yao Palace. Picking up Bai Qige, who was curtsy, the prince looked sincere and did not suspect any pretentiousness, "As a princess, how can you call yourself a concubine?" That's the name of the side rooms, and you can call yourself by your name when you meet someone in the future, so don't lower your identity. ”

Bai Qige blushed and nodded awkwardly.

She is not a dragon and phoenix girl, and she does not have any royal blood in her body, and she has little understanding of many etiquette rules in this time and space. Embarrassed and at the same time felt a little warm, the high-flying prince of Yaoguo did not imagine that domineering, in fact, as early as the apse of the East Palace, Bai Qige had some feelings, the prince Yi Chenyu was too little arrogant compared to other princes, and he was very polite and sincere to everyone when he talked and laughed, not at all like the prince who was about to control the world.

It is a pity that such people are tied to the throne and cannot be free.

"Does the princess have any time? How about walking with me? Seeing that there was no one around, the prince whispered to invite.

"Huh? Ah, it's nothing, I'm just here to see if His Highness needs to add some clothes, and it's an honor to be able to walk with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "Donggong and Qichen Xuan are far from each other, and they are not going the same way, Bai Qige didn't know what medicine was sold in the prince's gourd, and he was a little stunned for a while, but fortunately, he was quick to react and didn't continue to be embarrassed.

On the way, the prince kept talking about some poems, books, etiquette, music, and elegant things, Bai Qige almost couldn't understand it at all, so he could only laugh with embarrassment, and silently read the rumors that the prince was greedy for pleasure and had no intention of political affairs was indeed true. If the crown prince succeeds to the throne in the future, it will probably be stormy in less than ten years.

When he arrived at the imperial study with a few steps to go, the prince stopped and pulled Bai Qige's sleeve and said with a wry smile: "I said a lot of useless waste of time, in fact, I just want to say thank you to the princess, if it weren't for your help in the apse that day, it might have caused an uproar." ”

"The apse? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is saying that I was drunk and accidentally broke in? The prince didn't pick out the words, and Bai Qige didn't dare to say it directly, pretending to be confused in his words.

The crown prince shook his head, with a hint of shame on his face: "Afterwards, Jintuan told me everything, I feel guilty that the princess was punished by Concubine Jin, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize but I didn't have the opportunity, and today I can be regarded as saying it." ”

Bai Qige smiled and didn't speak, sensitively realizing that the prince's name was Jin Zhaoyi, and he actually called her by her name, and it seemed that he was defenseless against her.

"It's my fault that I haven't kept such an important thing carefully." Bai Qige just wanted to persuade the prince not to feel guilty, but she didn't expect the next sentence to directly leave her speechless. The prince sighed and continued to smile bitterly: "There are so many purses I collected, I forgot where I put them, and I don't remember when I threw them away, but I was taken advantage of by the villain." ”

Too many purses?!

Throw it away?!

The shock brought by this answer was no less than when Jin Zhaoyi bluntly talked about the private relationship with the prince, Bai Qige didn't expect that such an astonishing fact could be lightly mentioned in the prince's mouth. In addition to Jin Zhaoyi, how many fornicating women does the prince have?

"If such a confidential matter is said casually, isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince afraid that the emperor will find out and be angry?" In addition to being surprised, Bai Qige felt quite surprised.

"If you find it, you will find it, and it is better to be angry." The prince whispered, complaining intentionally or unintentionally, "It's best that my father and emperor have removed my prince in anger, those political affairs, wars, and annoyances are annoying, how can you be immersed in the landscape, grass and trees, and beautiful scenery to be at ease?" is afraid that he will not even be able to do it if he says it, and he will be directly demoted by his father to the common people to suffer hardships or simply pulled out to ask for beheading. I don't dare to provoke my father's stinky temper. ”

Since ancient times, the royal family has been wonderful, and Prince Dayao is definitely the best among the wonderful. Bai Qige couldn't cry or laugh, there were many people who claimed to have private affairs just now, and now he complained to an unfamiliar princess that he didn't want to be the prince, I really don't know what the man who has passed the age of destiny is thinking, if what the prince said is true, then wouldn't it be too easy to want him to hand over the crown prince?

With a move in his heart, Bai Qige smiled sideways and said, "In this case, why doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince show that the emperor has no intention of succeeding to the throne?" If you want to come, the emperor will not force you to sit on the throne of the crown prince. After all, it is about the society of the country, and it is not allowed to be sloppy. ”

"Forget it, how dare I?" It seemed that he thought of something terrible, the prince shivered and looked sad, "On weekdays, if I complain a little bit, I will be scolded by the right prime minister, and for this matter, I will burn many poetry books and picture albums in my collection, if I really say it, I will either be strangled to death by the right prime minister or annoyed to death by the right prime minister, I can't stand it." ”

Sure enough, the crown princess and the right prime minister have been secretly manipulating the prince, and the Wei Chi family is the biggest obstacle to Yi Chenjing's seizure of the throne.

Bai Qige was thinking about it intently, and her face was hot, but it was the prince who stretched out his finger and gently stroked the scar on her face.

"It's a pity, the princess doesn't look bad, it's all this damn scar." Shaking his head regretfully, the prince's eyes lit up, "I remember that in the early years, a vassal sent a red blood shark pearl, which is said to have the miraculous effect of rejuvenating the face and removing scars. ”

Without waiting for Bai Qige to answer, a hearty laugh suddenly came from behind him.

"The red-blooded shark pearl is extremely precious, and there is only this one in the entire remote country, it seems that the royal brother even wants to rob his father's treasure in order to please the beauty."
