Bai Hong was quite curious about this, and repeated it: "Lotus crisp? ”

Bai Qiurui smiled playfully: "Daddy looks at it and thinks this name is still appropriate?" ”

With a smile, Bai Hong said: "The shape is like its name, and it is naturally appropriate." ”

Bai Qiurui motioned to her father to try it, and her fair face smiled slightly, which seemed to be more beautiful and moving than the lotus crisp on the plate.

People always pay more attention to beautiful things. Bai Hong looked at the lotus cake on the plate for a moment, and finally picked it up and took a bite with a hint of novelty.

The moment you enter the mouth, the first thing is the sweet taste of lotus seeds, mixed with the refreshing fragrance, which penetrates into the nose.

Immediately afterwards, the crispy and sweet taste permeates the tip of the tongue, leaving a fragrance on the lips and teeth.

Bai Hong tasted it carefully, and the sweet taste soothed his frowning brows, as if he had eaten a bite of lotus cake, and his mood improved.

After a long time, Bai Hong finished eating a lotus cake and said: "It seems that what my father said before is not very accurate, not only the shape is like its name, but the taste is also like its name." One bite makes people feel like they have entered a lotus pond boating, and the taste is excellent. ”

Seeing this, a trace of shame appeared on Bai Qiurui's pretty face, like a child who was praised by her elders and was happy in her heart.

Seeing that his father was in a good mood, his brows also expanded, and Bai Qiurui began to get to the point of thinking about the Fa.

I saw that she showed a well-behaved and sensible look of wanting to share her father's worries, and spoke cautiously.

"My daughter is worried when she sees her father, can her daughter share her worries?"

Bai Hong, who had not been looking good for a long time, heard Bai Qiurui's words, and his serious brows wrinkled into the word 'Chuan' again.

sighed, looked at his well-behaved and sensible daughter, and stopped talking several times.

He used to treat his little daughter badly, and he also treated her mother badly.

Originally, there was a pie in the sky, and the good marriage that he never dreamed of fell on the head of his little daughter, and he responded for his little daughter early.

Right now......

This situation, how did he open his mouth?

Originally, the prince of Ning Wangfu wanted to accept his little daughter as a side room, and he was already surprised when he learned about it.

Her daughter lost in her background, and she entered the side room of King Ning's Mansion as the prince of the world with her current identity, and she was already Gao Pan.

At that time, although he learned the news, he knew that it was a good marriage, but after so many years of neglect of this little daughter, he couldn't just ask the little girl's heart, so he directly promised her to be a concubine.

But what he didn't expect was that the prince of the palace wanted to accept this girl as a concubine, and he directly changed his mind, and he actually wanted to promise her the position of the princess.

The princess of Ning Wangfu, this is the marriage that many noble ladies dream of.

Bai Hong thought at first that the matchmaker who came to say that he was here to cheat and cheat, but later found out that it was true.

Although he didn't know why the prince of the palace, there were many high-ranking and noble ladies who looked down on him, and instead fell in love with his youngest daughter.

However, this family business really can't be worshiped by burning incense and begging for Buddha. My princess of the palace, what a noble status, Bai Hong naturally wants to respond for his little daughter.

It's just that now this sudden change caught him off guard.

Thinking of this excellent family affair, which may be canceled in the future, Bai Hong couldn't bear to tell himself about this sensible little daughter.

Thinking of her loss of knowing the truth, Bai Hong felt even more indebted to her in his heart.

Bai Hong just wanted to find a reason to prevaricate, but when he looked up, he saw the innocent eyes of his little daughter.

This made him feel more and more uncomfortable, and he couldn't do anything to deceive her.

In the end, after Bai Qiurui blinked her innocent big eyes and flickered as she watched her father change his face like a trick in front of the table.

The other party seemed to have finally made up his mind to tell her something.

"Rui'er, Father does have something to tell you."

Bai Hong pondered for a long time, and looked at Bai Qiurui in front of him with a solemn expression.

Bai Qiurui also waited for a long time, and finally waited for her father to speak, and she nodded seriously and obediently at the moment.

"Regarding your marriage into King Ning's mansion, you may have to put it aside for the time being."

Bai Qiurui saw that her father finally got to the point, she showed just the right amount of doubt, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Seeing that his little daughter was surprised, but it was far from the reaction he thought in his heart, Bai Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, he explained: "My father is reviewing a case recently, and the matter is related to Ning Wangfu and involves Ning Wangye. You can rest assured and wait for the coming day. ”

After saying a few words about the reason for the matter, Bai Hong was reluctant to talk about it more.

Bai Qiurui was originally going to ask about the case in more detail, she wanted to know the specific circumstances of King Ning's involvement in the case.

But seeing that her father's face was not very good-looking, she didn't dare to mention it again.

It's just that if she doesn't know the specifics of the case, how can she rest assured.

She was afraid that if this matter was not big enough, in case the matter was over, her marriage was brought up again, it would not be good.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and Bai Qiurui thought of Shen Yuan.

Her father was reluctant to reveal the case, so she should be able to ask Shen Yuan about the specific situation.

After thinking about it in her heart, Bai Qiurui said to her father.

"Daddy, my daughter wants to go to the Criminal Department to thank Lord Shen for saving her face."

Her words were a little abrupt, and Bai Hong was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

Seeing this, Bai Qiurui was afraid that her father would not agree, so she hurriedly explained.

"Daddy, it's not the first time that Lord Shen has saved his daughter from danger. If you can't thank you in person, you can't say it in a reasonable way. ”

After saying this, Bai Hong's face softened.

He thought about it carefully, Shen Yuan had indeed saved his daughter many times, and he should thank him in person.

After figuring out the reason, Bai Hong looked at Bai Qiurui with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

His own little daughter is really knowledgeable, and she knows how to be thanked by others, compared to Yueyue......

Seeing that Bai Qiurui was too sensible, Bai Hong inevitably thought of his eldest daughter who had loved him for many years.

I didn't find it before, I thought that the youngest daughter's family was squeamish, and it didn't hurt to be petty. Now comparing his eldest daughter with the youngest daughter in front of him, Bai Hong couldn't say anything in his heart.

Maybe it's because he has spoiled Yueyue too much for so many years, and she doesn't know how thick the sky is, and her current behavior is still a little bit of everyone's beautiful appearance.

On the contrary, it is my little daughter, who is beautiful and gentle, knowledgeable, and ingenious, and makes good dishes.

At that moment, Bai Hong agreed to Bai Qiurui's request and allowed her to go to the Criminal Department to thank her in person.

With the permission of his own father, Bai Qiurui smiled gently, and then withdrew.

Because he got his father's special advice, saying that Shen Yuan had to investigate the case in the past few days, and he often went out, so he asked Bai Qiurui to go back later.

Bai Qiurui obediently agreed, and continued to spend a few days of leisure in the mansion.

Regarding the postponement of the marriage in Ning Wangfu, Bai Hong and Bai Qiurui did not mention it to anyone, but the news spread for no reason.

On this day, Bai Qiurui was chatting with Xiao Mingyu, and Xiao Mingrui outside the door suddenly walked in.

Today's Xiao Mingrui wore a crescent-white brocade robe, with wide sleeves and an elegant arc between walking.

The long hair is tied up with a gold crown, and the feet are on black brocade boots, looking elegant and handsome.

Bai Qiurui looked at Xiao Mingrui, the person was indeed good-looking, but there was an empty pair of skins, and only straw was left when he opened it inside.

Ever since Xiao Mingrui was provoked by Bai Yueyue and ran into his small courtyard for no reason to make a fuss, Bai Qiurui has become a lot more estranged from the previous cousin Mingrui.

She saw through Xiao Mingrui's breastless and brainless nature. Unexpectedly, just for Bai Yueyue's few words to catch the wind and shadows, she ran to herself like crazy and asked.

also looked like he had been greatly hurt physically and mentally, and directly defeated the little favorability in Bai Qiurui's heart.

It's just that even if you don't like it in your heart, people have already entered their own courtyard, and there should still be a number of courtesies.

Bai Qiurui stood up from the stone bench in the small courtyard, shook her slender waist, and bowed on her knees.

"Cousin Mingrui is good."

made a shallow salute, Bai Qiurui's voice was neither salty nor light, revealing a faint sense of alienation.

Xiao Mingyu has always known that her brother likes Bai Qiurui, and she also hopes that Bai Qiurui can be her sister-in-law.

However, now that the entire mansion knows that Cousin Qiu Rui is already the future princess of Ning Wangfu, she just wants to help her brother say good things, but she can't do anything.

After all, how noble the status of the princess of Ning Wangfu was, how could her brother be compared.

Xiao Mingrui looked at Bai Qiurui's cold expression, and when he remembered her gentleness and touching before, he only hated himself for mishearing Bai Yueyue's cousin's words.

was treated coldly, Xiao Mingrui was not annoyed, he raised a smile and greeted Bai Qiurui: "Cousin Qiurui." ”

Today, Bai Qiurui originally wanted to make another novel snack, but when Xiao Mingyu came to talk to her, the two chatted casually for a while.

Now that Xiao Mingrui has arrived, Bai Qiurui's original good mood is gone.

She ignored Xiao Mingrui's gentle smile, and her face no longer had the previous smile: "Cousin is here, is there something wrong?" ”

The cold and detached tone made Xiao Mingrui's originally eager, forbearing, and joyful heart cold down in an instant.

He felt that he might be hopeless.

He got up this morning and heard the two maids in the mansion chewing on the root of their tongues, talking about the postponement of the marriage between Cousin Qiu Rui and King Ning's mansion.

At first glance, he thought it was fake, but the more he listened, the more he felt that this matter might be true.

He listened to it and couldn't hold back any longer.

Ever since he heard the news that Qiu Rui's cousin was going to marry into Ning Wangfu, he hated himself for why he didn't express his heart earlier.

Even if his status is low, it is better than being helpless, looking at Qiu Rui's cousin without fighting or grabbing, and becoming someone else's wife.

Now is the perfect opportunity for him.

If the marriage between Cousin Qiu Rui and the prince of Ning Wangfu is suspended, he can fight for it.

Therefore, Xiao Mingrui figured out the relationship between before and after, and immediately came to Zhuzhi Courtyard to see Bai Qiurui.

He thought privately that Cousin Qiu Rui was by no means the kind of woman who clings to the powerful, and his sincerity might not necessarily lose to the position of the princess of Ning Wangfu.

Faced with Bai Qiurui's indifference and alienation at the moment, Xiao Mingrui apologized to her again for the mistake she made last time.

"Cousin Qiurui, what happened before was my fault, I apologize to you, I'm sorry."

Bai Qiurui's face was still flat, and she said detachedly: "Cousin doesn't have to apologize, the matter has passed, so there is no need to mention it again." ”

Xiao Mingrui on the side didn't understand what his brother wanted to do, why he didn't open which pot to mention, and he turned over the old accounts of the past.

This is good, even if Cousin Qiurui's attitude is a little cold, why shouldn't she mention the bad things before.

What girl would like this!

Sighing helplessly in his heart, Xiao Mingyu glanced at his brother and asked him not to turn over old accounts.

Xiao Mingrui was familiar with Xiao Mingyu's overtures, he looked at Bai Qiurui's white cheeks, and finally relented and mustered up the courage to confess.

"Cousin Qiurui, I've always liked you. You...... Can you marry me? ”

Xiao Mingrui was also a veteran of the love scene before, and the sultry love words that made the girl happy came as soon as he opened his mouth.

Facing Bai Qiurui at this moment, he couldn't say a word of the soft words in his stomach.

Seeing the girl in front of her slender and dusty, without a trace of dirt, Xiao Mingrui only felt that the love words in her heart would make her fall into the dust.

He repeated it over and over again in his heart, and finally he could only say dryly, 'I like you'.

Bai Qiurui was a little surprised at this time, she didn't expect Xiao Mingrui to come to her today to talk about this.

Also surprised was Xiao Mingyu on the side, she looked at her brother's serious face, and she was also taken aback.

What's wrong with my brother today?

Everyone in the Manchu Mansion knew that Cousin Qiu Rui was about to be the princess of Ning Wangfu, how could he suddenly come here to confess?

In the small courtyard of the three people, the atmosphere was very silent for a while.

Xiao Mingyu hurriedly spoke up: "Brother, you forgot, Cousin Qiu Rui is now the unmarried princess of Ning Wangfu, and she will marry into the palace soon." ”

Bai Qiurui was also curious, it stands to reason that Xiao Mingrui knew that he had a marriage contract with Ning Wangfu, so he shouldn't suddenly come over and say this.

She thought of the postponement of the marriage she had talked about a few days ago, and a cold light flashed in her clear eyes.

Could it be that someone leaked the news that her marriage was suspended?

Sure enough, after this thought just rose, what Xiao Mingrui said confirmed Bai Qiurui's thoughts.

"Cousin Qiurui, I heard that your marriage with the prince of Ning Wangfu has been postponed, right?"

Xiao Mingrui now wanted to show his heart, so he spoke directly.

"What? Is this true or false? ”

Before Bai Qiurui could speak, Xiao Mingyu had already asked in surprise.

She glanced at Bai Qiurui in disbelief, then at Xiao Mingrui and said, "Brother, how did you know about this?" ”

Xiao Mingrui didn't say anything else, just took another step closer to Bai Qiurui, and asked her with a little oppression.

"Cousin Qiurui, am I right?"
