Chapter 48: See Xiaobao again
Seeing Wuyan's serious expression, Bai Lilan was very suspicious, whether it was Nangong Jingchen or the man in front of him who wanted this little tiger!
Too lazy to argue with Wuyan anymore, Bai Lilan said: "Whatever, anyway, this matter has come to an end, and how to deal with the follow-up has nothing to do with me." But I want to ask the Wuyan Sect Master a question, are you planning to interrupt our cooperation and cooperate with Nangong Jingchen instead? β
"After I took over, Baixiangmen no longer cooperated with Baili Girl!" The faceless voice smiled, as if talking about the weather as lightheartedly, and did not seem to realize what the consequences of saying these words would be.
However, before Baili Lan was angry, Wuyan said again, "You are our honored guest of Baixiangmen, if you need the help of Baixiangmen, Baixiangmen is at your disposal from top to bottom, including me!" β
Baili Lan was stunned at first, and then sneered, as if she had heard a joke, "Does the Yanless Sect Master think that I am a three-year-old child, and I can be fooled by drawing a cake?" Are you naΓ―ve to think so, or do you think I'm naΓ―ve? β
"Miss Baili misunderstood, I didn't say this to seduce you, but from the bottom of my heart." As he spoke, Wuyan took out a golden token, which was engraved with nine entangled rattans, and there was a phoenix bird on it, which was vivid and breathtaking.
That token Baili Lan had seen before, and it was worn by Dugu Jiuhe, symbolizing the identity and status of Baixiangmen. Now it is passed to Wuyan, but he gives it to Baili Lan with both hands, what is this kid's plan to do?
Reaching out to pick up the token, Baili Lan wiped it with her fingers, and then tapped the token next to her ear.
Seeing Baili Lan's suspicious appearance, she smiled shamelessly: "If it is fake, Baili girl can rest assured." β
Pouting, Bai Lilan tossed and caught the token, and asked lazily: "Although this thing is not priceless, it is still a treasure, why do you want to give it to me?" β
"As I said just now, you are a distinguished guest of Baixiangmen, and your identity needs to be distinguished from others, and this token is the best evidence to prove your identity."
Tapping her fingers on the tabletop, Bai Lilan looked like a madman, looking faceless, and secretly thought in her heart, the original Dugu Jiuhe was out of tune, and she didn't expect that this one was not far behind now. But since he is generous, why should he refuse, and if he doesn't take it, how can he know what he has to do?
Thinking like this in her heart, Bai Lilan put the token in her arms and said indifferently: "In this way, I will thank the door master first." β
"Baili girl is polite."
Baili Lan put away the token and lowered her head and asked, "Why does the Yanless Sect Master keep calling me Baili Girl, don't you know that I am already married?" You cooperate with Nangong Jingchen seamlessly, how can you call his wife a girl? It doesn't make sense to hear it. β
"Because I know you don't like people to call you princess." Wuyan said it very firmly, as if this was the case with Baili Lan that he knew.
Raising her eyebrows, Baili Lan looked at Wuyan thoughtfully, and the doubts in her heart gradually became clueless.
β¦β¦
The snow was falling, and a Upong carriage moved cautiously in the snow, leaving a series of horseshoe footprints, one after another, as if to reach the horizon.
A small head poked out, and a thick fur hat was wrapped around it, and the little blushed and said, "How long will it take for us to arrive?" β
"Don't worry, we'll be there before dark. Oops, why did you get out, go back quickly, it won't be good if you catch a cold! When the slave who had been driven out saw the child poking his head out, he hurriedly coaxed him and asked him to sit down.
Before dark?
The child looked up and saw that the sky was full of snow, as if all roads had been blocked, and the way home was also ethereal.
Sensing the child's quietness, a woman in the carriage gently stretched out her hand, held the child's hand, and whispered comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, we have worked hard for so long, and we will definitely return home!" β
The woman's gentle voice, like a great encouragement, made the boy's weak expression fade, and he nodded resolutely.
Sitting back in the carriage with the woman, the groom continued to drive, with great difficulty, but without hesitation.
When it was already dark, Bai Lilan was looking at the falling snow outside the window, and suddenly heard Xia Yu behind her, and said with a little excitement: "County Lord, the little boy is back!" β
"yes, where are the people?"
"In the valley I went to last time, Autumn Frost is accompanied."
"Very good, you go and arrange it tomorrow, I'm going to see Xiaobao."
"Yes!"
Finally, when this day came, Xiaobao was able to return to him safely, and he could let go of his hands and feet and be fearless. Hmph, Emperor Beining, you will continue to dream in the capital, and wait for your textile technology!
On the second day, Baili Lan got up early in the morning, and in order to avoid people's eyes, he also deliberately found a carriage for the next person, and prepared to leave in a low-key manner. But as soon as Baili Lan walked out of the yard, she saw a green figure walking towards her, her eyes were still sleepy, and she seemed to have just gotten up.
Looking at the person opposite, Xia Yu couldn't help but curse secretly: "God, this woman is really ghostly!" β
It turned out that it was Chun'er who walked over.
Looking at the few people who were in a hurry, Chun'er's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked timidly, "Hey, where is the princess going?" The words had already been spoken, and Chun'er seemed to realize that she had exceeded her rules, and hung her head in horror, and Nuo Nuo said, "The slave and maid know that they are wrong, and the slave and maid should not talk too much, please forgive the princess!" β
Bai Lilan knew that if this woman was suspicious, it would be a dog skin plaster, and it would be difficult to tear it off, so she had to find a way to deal with her.
"The prince found a hot spring outside the city and asked me to go with him. Why, are you going to go and see if there is a hot spring? β
"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare!" Chun'er knelt on the ground at once, shook her head in panic, and said in a loud voice, "It's all slaves and maids, please...... Please let the princess let go of the slave and maid, don't tell the prince that the slave and maid don't want to be punished! β
Listening to Chun'er's words, it was Nangong Jingchen who had punished her. Why did he teach her a lesson, is it because he already has Chun'er's identity? Yes, Baixiangmen is willing to stand behind him, and Nangong Jingchen should know that Chun'er is meticulous. It's just that if he does this, isn't he afraid of startling the snake?
There was a faint doubt in her heart, Bai Lilan wrapped her cloak tightly, walked past her unhurriedly, and said softly: "It's good to know that you are afraid, do your duty, what to do and what not to do, it is better to know in your heart, otherwise it is you who suffers and suffers!" β
Towards the gorgeous figure, Chun'er bowed to the ground, not daring to raise her head, and at the same time kept saying: "Thank you princess, thank you princess!" β
After walking farther, Baili Lan explained to Dong Xue beside her: "Keep an eye on that woman, don't let her contact anyone, save her trouble!" β
Winter Snow nodded, took a few steps back, and disappeared neatly into the snow.
Seeing that Bai Lilan was so guarded against that Chun'er, Xia Yu said a little unconvinced: "County Lord, that woman is just a small character, at most, she is just staring at your every move, and she is reporting back to the Emperor of Beining, what other use can she have!" β
"She's very useful," Bai Lilan said with a blank face as she walked in front, "What you see now is only a superficial phenomenon in the palace, there must be other people behind this woman." Emperor Beining will not hand over the huge Lanling to just one maid. β
Hearing Baili Lan say this, Xia Yu hurriedly looked around, feeling that there was always someone watching this side.
"Alright, we're safe now, let's get in the carriage!" Seeing Xia Yu's stupid appearance, Baili Lan sighed, got into the carriage first, and then urged, "And there are Nangong Jingchen's people on this road, and it will not be dangerous for the time being." We're going to hurry up now, and we'll be there by noon. β
Hearing Baili Lan say this, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then jumped into the carriage, hurriedly threw off the horsewhip, and drove away.
When he heard that he was going to meet his eldest sister, Xiaobao was overjoyed. But the half a year he has lived in the palace has made him have a strong sense of defensiveness, and he must not take it lightly before he sees Baililan.
"Little boy, don't walk around, sit down and eat some grapes." Qiushuang held a plate of delicate purple grapes, walked into the house, and said with a smile on her face, "This is the grapes sent by the prince of Lanling from outside the city, they are very sweet, come and taste them!" β
It is a rare thing to be able to eat grapes in winter, Xiaobao looked at the plate of purple grapes, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Let's wait, wait for the eldest sister to come, and eat together." β
"Heh," Qiushuang covered her lips and smiled, and said softly, "Little boy, eat at ease, the prince of Lanling has already prepared a portion for the county lord." β
"Really?" Xiaobao hesitated, but still shook his head and said, "The eldest sister is in a hurry, she definitely hasn't had time to eat, I'm still waiting." β
Looking at Xiaobao's greedy but forbearant appearance, Qiushuang couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
When Xiaobao was in the Dingnan Palace, he was the pearl of the mansion, and all the favor was concentrated on him, even the arrogant and domineering county lord at that time also loved him. These favors make the little boy slowly become willful and selfish, although his nature is not bad, but growing up in such an environment, it will be difficult to become a talent in the future.
Since the fall of Dingnan Palace, the little prince has grown up a lot overnight, and when he came back from the palace this time, he knew that he was distressed, like a little adult, and he also knew how to be considerate of his sister. It's just that this kind of growth and transformation, how much tempering does it take to get it?
In the quiet valley, he suddenly heard the sound of wheels, which made Xiaobao jump up from the chair and said expectantly: "It's the eldest sister, it must be the eldest sister who is here!" β
"Wait, little boy!" Qiushuang grabbed Xiaobao who was about to rush out, and said with a solemn face, "In order to prevent fraud, let the slave maid go to explore first!" β
Hearing Qiushuang say this, Xiaobao immediately quieted down, found a safe place to hide, and secretly observed the situation outside in the dark.
The silver dress outside the house was so swaying that Qiushuang couldn't open her eyes, she squinted slightly, walked out of the door, and stood in the snow.
The outline of the carriage gradually appeared in the field of vision, Qiushuang's eyes tightened, and when she saw the person driving clearly, a smile crept up on her face......
