The night is like a thick inkstone, so deep that it can't be dissolved......

In the face of Jingkang's series of questions, I did not answer, and his brows were like night, frowning, and it was difficult to stretch out.

After a long time, I sighed and said to him quietly, "Do you think I want to?"

My sudden words made him breathe a sigh of relief, looking at his complicated expression, the original question was true, but it seemed that he had long wanted to hear my defense.

"The will of the Emperor of the People has been passed on to the Jiao Clan, although the Jiao King allows me to decide for myself, but can I not come? The Jiao Clan is an important minister of the Human Race, the glory is extraordinary, but the king is like a tiger, and the slightest carelessness will harm the whole clan, can I really resist the decree?"

Jing Kang's face was quite touched, I knew that he was from the fairy world, and he had such an extraordinary bearing, he was born in a family, and he also felt some emotion when I said this.

"You...... Do you really want to stay in this imperial city?" his eyes darkened, but there was still a glimmer of hope.

"Three months later, I left the Imperial City and returned to the Jiao Clan, and I didn't want to come out again. "I don't want Jing Kang to be too distracted, but I also don't want him to think that I am a vain person, so I have to tell the truth.

I don't know what the future holds, but it's impossible for me and Jingkang to be together.

Jing Kang was very happy, this was the first time I had seen him in the Imperial City with such a soft face, as handsome as the Qingshui River that day.

I looked at the rockery and the well again, and then went out of the deserted hall with Jingkang, because there were many people outside, so I walked into the distance first, and then he went back.

Qinghuang had always been docile in the rockery of the deserted temple before, but when Jingkang's enchantment appeared above my head, it became alert, and when Jingkang talked to me, Qinghuang also stared at Jingkang coldly.

Jing Kang talked to me, but he didn't care about this, I guess Qinghuang Xu didn't like Jing Kang's enchantment, or like the third woman, he didn't like people in the fairy world.

Waiting for Jingkang's figure, Qinghuang returned to meekness at this time, closed his eyes again, and let me hold it back.

Back to Yong'an Palace, Qiu An was waiting for me at the door, she saw me holding Qinghuang in her arms, and she came up to take Qinghuang over.

I shook my head slightly, but didn't hand it to him.

"This little blue bird seems to be a little bigger. Although Qiu An felt strange, his expression was as usual.

"Well, there are some. ”

I didn't want to lie to her, but the time hadn't come, and I couldn't tell her.

"Where did the princess go?"

Qiu An also minded that I had something to hide, and told me again: "Just now Princess Bairong came to Yong'an Palace to look for you, I said that you were not there, and she didn't say anything else, but went out." ”

When I heard this, I stopped walking no further, and Qiu An also stopped and told me respectfully: "I sent Princess Bairong out, and I happened to meet Princess Wuzhen coming." ”

Speaking of this, Qiu An paused, looked at the vicinity of the Yong'an Palace, and bowed his head to me, "Princess Wuzhen and you came back from one direction." ”

She glanced at me, and I nodded, not flustered.

Princess Wuzhen and Princess Bairong exchanged a few words of greeting, and then went back separately. ”

"What arrangements does Emperor Pingyu have tomorrow?"

"There is no arrangement in the Hesui Palace before tomorrow afternoon, and all the spirit girls will learn cooking skills with the female officials of Shangshan in the afternoon. ”

At this time, the night was darker, and the dark clouds in the sky were filled, covering the moon, and the entire imperial city became more and more mysterious on the earth.

After Qiu An took care of the affairs before going to bed for me, she went back to her own room, and before closing the door, she suddenly whispered to me: "Princess, tomorrow at noon, the Emperor will have a banquet for Lord Baili." ”

I thought that Qiu An would just say it casually, but when the Emperor came to deliver the decree on the second day, I knew that she had already known that it was not so simple for people from the Baili family to enter the palace.

In the morning, the inner servant next to the emperor came to pass the decree, announcing that I and Sister Bai Rong would go to Chao'an Palace for dinner, and the emperor set up a banquet.

Qiu An has seen a lot in the Imperial City, so he naturally guessed a few points a long time ago.

After Bai Rong got the will, Yong'an Hall came to wait for me, and I saw that she was dressed ceremoniously and gorgeously, but not gaudy, and even brought Pinghui around her to dress up carefully.

"Sister, Your Majesty only invited us two spirit girls over today, you have to dress up well. Bai Rong's words couldn't contain his excitement, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.

Qiu An did as I instructed, took a light blue background smoke gauze dress, although her hair was carefully combed, only a purple gold jade flower and bird bead hairpin was inserted in the bun.

I never want to stand out in the imperial city, but I don't want to be rude, originally I originally intended to only need a hairpin, but that seems too casual, after all, it is a banquet that both the emperor and the courtiers have.

Sister Bai Rong still refused to put thought into my makeup when she saw me, and looked at me with regret in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by the joy of His Majesty the Emperor of the People.

After a simple dress-up, Qiu An put away the things that were placed outside, and Bai Rong saw Buddha grass Aya and black Mucuna with Qiu An's movements, because she knew it, and I didn't deliberately hide it.

After packing up, the four of them went out. Sister Bai Rong and I walked in front, and Qiu An and Pinghui followed.

Chunxiao and Su Niang have taught us the rules and etiquette of the palace, walking in this imperial city, not too casual, to be delicate, turn around and walk like a weak willow to support the wind, flowers to run the first Yan, but also not to lose stability, too casual indulgence.

Su Niang commented at that time that we spirit girls, such petite and delicate daughters, delicate young girls, are not safe, and Wuzhen Luoling, a tiger girl, is safe, not coquettish enough, and Bai Ronggang's talent and I are just in the middle of this point, it is easier to learn.

Sister Bai Rong has been learning everything in the imperial city with her heart since she entered the palace, and when she heard Su Niang's praise, she couldn't help but learn harder, but I felt awkward and refused to do what Su Niang taught me at all times.

The imperial city is very large, the road from Hesui Palace to Chao'an Palace is very far, and I met a lot of female officials and guards along the way, Bai Rong and I can't walk in a proper way, according to this step, I think of Su Niang, her death has always been in my heart, let me haunt me.

Qiu An and Pinghui have been following behind, she seems to be a little unhappy, I can feel her staring at my back as I walk in front, maybe I think I am too plain today.

Entering the Chao'an Palace, an attendant led me and Bai Rong to the Gaoping Palace, where the adults and daughters of the Baili family were already waiting, and when they saw us coming in, they saluted us according to etiquette.

After all, Sister Bai Rong and I are not humans, and we also made a small salute in turn, according to our status, there is no need to do this, but I didn't feel anything wrong when I saw the two women of the Baili family.

Through the introduction of the chamberlain, I learned that the eldest lady of the Baili family was named Baili Rong.

"I have long heard that the princess Bairong of the Jiao clan is both talented and beautiful, and when I saw it today, I realized that the rumors were true!" Lord Baili's eyes were shining, and he respectfully praised Sister Bairong, and said: "I hope the princess has time to guide the little girl." ”

"Sister, we all have the word Rong in our names, do you say it's fate!" Bai Lirong stepped forward and took Sister Bai Rong's arm and spoke in a coquettish tone.

This Belle Rong must be about the same age as mine, and she must think that there is nothing wrong with the innocence of her little daughter's family.

I stood a little behind, and Pinghui Qiu'an was close, although Bai Rong was close, Pinghui's face was still full of embarrassment, Qiu'an looked normal, and I admired her calmness more and more.
