Concubine Jing was infected with the wind and cold for half a month, Su Yan and Su Rao took turns to serve by her side day and night, and Bai Qige was not idle, and she never delayed for a moment in picking up and delivering meals and medicines. Sometimes when I met Yi Chenjing in the room, he looked as usual, and although the two did not talk to each other, they were no longer as hostile and resistant as before.

"When you enter the door, it's a family, the two of you grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and it's best to be together. It's a pity that the red silk has a thin life, and she died at a young age, otherwise I can see the three of you reunited and beautiful, and I can go with peace of mind. Concubine Jing didn't know the complicated love and hate between the three of them, last time she fell ill in a hurry just because Yi Chenjing beat Bai Qige in the sacrifice hall, and then Yi Chenjing refused to mention those grievances in front of Concubine Jing, and she could get along peacefully and never provoke disputes.

It's just that this is not enough for Concubine Jing, and the last wish of the concubine of Yaoguo, who has spent half her life in fear and fear, is to be able to see her son start a family with her own eyes, and the matter of the concubine is becoming more and more urgent. Bai Qige knew that Yi Chenjing would not be able to marry her, so she laughed at it every time she talked about it, but Yi Chenjing didn't seem to think so, and the gloom between her eyebrows became thicker and thicker day by day.

Facts have proved that the seven princes do know more about the complicated affairs in the deep palace than the princesses of the vassal kingdom who came by marriage - the weather is gradually getting cooler, and on the day of the first frost covering the imperial capital of Yaoguo, Emperor Yao issued a decree to give marriage.

If there is an identity in the main room, Bai Qige's life in the palace of Yaoguo will be much better, at least those maids dare not despise her anymore, but the price is too great.

It was not easy to win a little freedom and trust, and seeing that Yi Chenjing had changed from being safe and quiet to being as cold as ice, he thought that he was going to return to the previous situation. Bai Qige didn't want to conflict with him from the bottom of her heart, not to mention the huge disparity in her status, Yi Chenjing still had the killer weapon of the Bai family in her hand, even if she had the heart and ability to resist, the final result was still to bow to him.

Bai Qige was upset by the complicated situation, and sat alone in the sparsely populated back garden in a daze, sitting from morning to evening, her clothes filled with a cool breeze.

"Half a month later, it will be the day of your and Seventh Brother's big day, why are you depressed here alone?" The soft voice broke through the night, the back was warm, the thick cloak was firmly on the shoulder, and the wisps of light fragrance hit.

Bai Qige was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he reached out and took off his cloak, turned around with a wooden face and handed it to the passer: "I don't know if the fifth prince is disturbed here, Bai Qige will retire first." ”

"Qige," Yi Chenxuan did not retreat but advanced, and stopped sideways in front of Bai Qige, his face was a little gloomy, "I just want to meet you." You've been avoiding me since the birthday party, refusing to give me even a chance to explain, do you know how I've survived these days? I know it's uncomfortable to send someone to spy on you, but why shouldn't I? The princes are fighting openly and secretly, and even their own brothers have to become enemies for the sake of the throne, and the heart of defense is indispensable, Qige, I really have no choice. ”

"What does it matter to me what the five princes choose or not? I'm just a concubine who is not favored, and I can't be a pawn in your struggle for power. ”

Yi Chenxuan is the favorite son of Emperor Yao outside the crown prince, and it stands to reason that he should not be wary of Yi Chenjing, the low-status seventh prince, but from the reaction of the battle court, it can be seen that the person who has been monitoring the dust Xuan all this time was sent by Yi Chenxuan, and he himself admitted this. Bai Qige is not a brainless woman, she never thought that the princess who lacked beauty and had no special skills would be favored and favored by a high-ranking prince in a very short time, Yi Chenxuan approached her five times three times to show goodwill and even boldly confessed that she was not moved, but became more and more suspicious.

She is just a chess piece that Yi Chenxuan wants to use to suppress Yi Chenjing.

"There are two things in the world that are the most terrible." Exhaled gently, the white breath rose, Bai Qige hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, his eyes were not shocked, "I am most afraid of hiding a knife in my smile, and I am most afraid of a honey-bellied sword." The five princes are good at their own devices. ”

Yi Chenxuan stood in place and stared at the woman who left indifferently, his complicated expression couldn't hide a trace of regret, and the cloak in his hand slipped to the ground.

The plain figure walked steadily, but no one knew how much pain she felt in her heart.

Even if she saw the real Yi Chenxuan hidden behind her gentle smile, Bai Qige still couldn't hate him and dislike him, and all the memories of this name still stayed on that day, in the warm embrace that sheltered her from the wind and rain under the heavy rain, and stayed in the only little spark in the darkness.

The person who reaches out in a lonely and desperate situation is the most memorable, even if it is only an illusion of vulnerability.

Countless troubles were piling up in his heart, and when he walked back to the dust Xuan, Bai Qige didn't even hear Su Yan's call, until the playful Su Rao slapped her thin shoulder violently before she woke up.

"Concubine Jing wants to arrange a big wedding, and you can't find it everywhere, but fortunately I came back in time." Su Yan urged Bai Qige to change out of the coat wet by the fog, and it seemed that he was more eager than the bride herself, "The master of the clothes library is still waiting in the outer hall to measure the size, the workmanship of the Xia curtain is fine, and a lot of progress will be left behind if you delay it for a day, wait for the size to be measured and then go to see Concubine Jing - Qige, what about the hairpin that Concubine Jing gave you?" ”

Bai Qige was shocked, and hurriedly touched his head, where was there still a trace of the carved white hosta worn in his hair during the day?

It was rewarded by Emperor Yao when Concubine Jing entered the palace, and she has always regarded it as a treasure, and learned that Emperor Yao ordered marriage, so she couldn't bear to cut her love and send it to Bai Qige as a recognition gift, who would have thought that this would be lost recklessly in less than three days, and if Concubine Jing knew that she would be sad.

"I've been in the back garden of the West Palace all day, and I think I fell there, so I'm going to find it."

Looking up at the sky, Su Yan gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "When are you going out?" The master of Si Yiku has been waiting for a day, and if he drags it out, I am afraid that it will delay the business. Su Rao, you take two people along the road to look carefully, I accompanied Qige to measure the size, and when I met someone, I said that I lost my purse, and I must not tell the hosta! ”

Su Rao is also a neat person, she simply answered and ordered someone to go to the back garden, even if Bai Qige was not at ease, she could only force her composure, if she provoked Concubine Jing to fall ill again, Yi Chenjing would really hate her to death.

After surviving through the middle of the night, after Concubine Jing fell asleep, Bai Qige could be regarded as breathing, and asked Su Rao, but the hosta still did not find.

"Qige, let's go rest first, I'll teach someone to inquire around carefully tomorrow morning, maybe someone picked it up." Gently pushing the tired Bai Qige out of the door, Su Yan whispered without refusing, "In more than ten days, you and Your Highness will get married, don't be unhappy because of this little thing, no matter what, you have to hide it, it's a big deal to find a craftsman to imitate it in private." ”

The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and it is futile to be anxious. Bai Qige nodded, and walked towards his room with stiff steps.

Seeing Bai Qige's figure disappear, Su Yan let out a long breath, turned around and sank: "Su Rao, tell my sister what's going on?" Your face is wrong. ”

"It's okay, the hosta was found, but I didn't get it back." Shrugging her shoulders indifferently, Su Rao sneered inappropriately, "Sister, are you used to being ridden on your head?" Your Highness clearly doesn't like her, you still have to help her everywhere, and you have to force yourself to the cold palace? This time, she is about to be established as the main room, and the two of us will have no place in this dust collection in the future. ”

"Don't talk nonsense at a young age, Qige is not a person who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard. It's you, why don't you bring it back after you find it? That's Concubine Jing's baby, what are you trying to do with me? ”

Su Rao raised the corners of her mouth, and a ray of essence flashed in her eyes.

"Even if I don't bring it, someone will take the initiative to send it back sooner or later."

I hadn't eaten all day and was hungry and had a stomachache, and when I saw that the lights in Yuche's room were out, Bai Qige had to turn around and walk to the dining room with the intention of finding something to talk about to satisfy her hunger.

"The court?" Seeing the faces of the people who came, Bai Qige was angry and funny, "Do you still need to follow in the dead of night?" Yi Chenjing won't even give you time to rest? ”

"His Royal Highness didn't let me follow Princess Qi'an, only said that he invited the princess to come over, it seems that there is something to say."

Zhan Ting's nature is kind, and he is not as thoughtful as Yi Chenjing, Bai Qige is never defensive against him, and he is much more relaxed when he talks, but like this, Yi Chenjing has never suddenly wanted to see her, and he can't help but be confused. Bai Qige subconsciously frowned and bit his lip lightly: "He didn't say what happened?" ”

Zhan Ting shook his head, with a hint of worry on his face: "I also just came back from outside, and I don't know too much - Your Highness seems to be in a bad mood, please think twice when the princess speaks." ”

When did he feel better? I don't know how dark my heart is, and I always look like I can't recover it from money lending. Bai Qige secretly slandered herself, but her face was still grateful, and she followed the battle court all the way to Yi Chenjing's study.

The light in the study was on, and the long figure reflected the candlelight on the window paper, quiet as a silhouette. Before knocking on the door, Yi Chenjing in the house had already heard the footsteps of the two, and the figure suddenly disappeared from the window, and when he reappeared, his back was to the candlelight, and his face was cold.

"Zhanting, you go and rest first." Pulling Bai Qige and dragging him into the house, Yi Chenjing said coldly.

I haven't seen him with such an expression for some days, Bai Qige thought about it intently, but he couldn't think of anything that touched his anger recently, just looking at his expression, he couldn't help but feel cold, and even his heart lost its temperature.

"Is there anything you can't say during the day-" Before the words fell, Bai Qige snorted in pain.

The princes of Yaoguo have all practiced martial arts since childhood, and Yi Chenjing has led his troops to fight for many years and is counted as the best among them, and with a push of his hand, he pushed the thin Bai Qige to staggered back a few steps, and his back was hitting the edges and corners of the bookcase.

"I said that you should be careful of Yi Chenxuan, did you take it as a deaf ear?" The cold gaze was merciless, Yi Chenjing laughed angrily, waved his hand fiercely, and something fell to the ground after hitting Bai Qige's body.

The whole body is white, the carving is fine, and the reddish in the center is just like a tender stamen, which is the carved white hosta that was lost when and where, and was handed over to her by Concubine Jing herself.

"No wonder I haven't seen you all day, it turns out that I have an appointment with someone." Raising Bai Qige's chin, Yi Chenjing sneered in a low voice, "How happy are you that you didn't even notice that the hairpin fell off, and you want him to send it personally?" Bai Qige, I'm blind, and I'm still willing to believe your nonsense! ”
