Chapter 217: Asking for Meeting
Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao glanced at each other.
The two guessed that the person must not be familiar with each other. If someone who is familiar with the situation of the Hou Mansion wants to ask to see Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao, they will definitely go directly to the side door of Qinyuan, even if the second prince is of such a noble status, it is no exception.
Bai Xiyun said: "You rest at home, I'll go out and see who is coming." ”
"Or I'll go with you to have a look, after all, the other party said that he came to see me, not sooner or later? ”
Bai Xiyun hurriedly said: "It matters that you listen to me obediently, where are the fuel-efficient lamps in front of you? They have not been at ease since they came, and it is too late to avoid them, do you still want to bump into them yourself? In case they secretly hurt me by stumbling, wouldn't you make me cry and have nowhere to cry." ”
"But you're not in good health. What if they deliberately get angry with you?" Qi Miao took Bai Xiyun's hand and didn't let him go, turned around and asked the servant girl who passed the word: "You said that someone came to invite us by name?"
"Mrs. Hui Shizi, no, it was the slave who heard the news and came to spread the word first. ”
Qi Miao heard the words and said, "Okay, I know, you go down." ”
Then he said to Bai Xiyun: "Since we didn't invite us, we won't go, if there is really something, we will find it ourselves." ”
Just so careful?
Bai Xiyun was a little crying and laughing, but it was not a bad thing to be cautious, so he had to let her go.
The maidservant quickly retreated, Bai Xiyun took Qi Miao's hand and sat down on the Luohan bed near the window, and comforted: "I think most of the people who come to you this time will have a request for you, you don't have to worry too much." ”
"Do you want me, do you want me to see a doctor?" Qi Miao couldn't think of any other abilities he had.
Bai Xiyun said with a smile: "I see a doctor, or I want you to ask you to talk to my stepmother, or I want you to help blow the wind on my pillow in front of me, what can I do?"
Qi Miao's face was hot, and she gave him a blank look. This person was still serious in the first sentence, but he didn't pay attention to it later.
Bai Xiyun's heartbeat skipped a beat by her sparkling eyes, his daughter-in-law was never aware of her beauty and charm, and always unconsciously challenged his self-control. He was not completely devoid of this idea when he was weak in the past, not to mention that now that his body is getting stronger and stronger, and she is pregnant, Bai Xiyun will definitely not dare to come nonsense, so he has to cough lightly to hide his embarrassment.
The two chatted for a while, but after a while, they heard a sound of footsteps outside, and then a maidservant replied at the door: "Hui Shizi and Mrs., it is the grandson of Wan Guifei's son and the princess of Anjun who are here." Originally, Grandpa Sun and Princess Anjun were going to come here, but the old lady greeted him out, and everyone was eating tea in the flower hall. ”
Qi Miao understood.
"It turned out to be Princess Anjun. I heard that the third master of the Anjun Palace, General Zhenguo, is not in good health?"
Bai Xiyun bowed his head and said: "King Anjun and the emperor are cousins, and the third master is the emperor's own nephew. ”
"Why do I want to refuse?" Qi Miaoqi said: "I am a doctor, it is my duty to treat diseases and save people, there is no need to hide it, otherwise what is the use of me learning this skill by myself?"
Bai Xiyun looked at Qi Miao's eyes with a lot more tenderness, and couldn't help but laugh and praise her: "Good girl, I am a businessman, and I am completely mercenary, and I will only do it when I analyze whether it is beneficial to me in advance, in the end, I have fallen to the lower level, unlike you who are kind and benevolent in your heart, it seems that the words of the doctor's parents' heart are not wrong in the end." ”
Being watched by his gentle and tolerant eyes, and listening to him praise him like this, Qi Miao's face became even hotter, and she gently pushed him on the shoulder: "I praise my daughter-in-law so much at home, and I am not afraid of making people listen to jokes." ”
Her shoulders were numb, and her heart was crispy, Bai Xiyun pulled her soft and boneless little hand and held it in her palm and pressed it on her heart.
The little girl standing at the door who replied blushed and didn't know what to do. Outside, Princess Anjun and the old lady were waiting, but the prince and Mrs. Shizi were not in a hurry, she was a subordinate, and she didn't have the courage to urge.
After a while, Bai Xiyun seemed to remember that there was still a princess hanging in the flower hall outside, so he said, "That's it, since that's the case, we still have to go to greet it." ”
Qi Miao said funny: "Of course you want to welcome, you are hanging the princess like this, where can you put the face of the old lady and Mrs. An Luhou? Even if they lose face, it is almost the same." ”
"That's what you want. It's not that we are disrespectful to the guests, but that there are not many people who come to our house on weekdays, if we don't express our attitude clearly, and every visitor will walk through the main gate of the Bai family in the future, wouldn't it be in vain to cheapen the old lady and them? ”
Qi Miao naturally knew that Bai Xiyun was thoughtful, "I know that you think comprehensively, and you really shouldn't give them the opportunity to show off their power in front of outsiders." ”
As he spoke, Bai Xiyun had already helped Qi Miao get up.
In fact, where is Qi Miao so weak, and she doesn't need to be supported at all, but Bai Xiyun cherishes it, and only hates that she can't pile up the best in the world at Qi Miao's feet, and she is naturally considerate of her.
When the two arrived at the door, Yulian and Binglian had already gone to fetch warm cloaks. Bai Xiyun took the lotus-colored cloak embroidered with lotus leaf pattern inlaid with silver thread in Binglian's hand and draped it for Qi Miao, and carefully tied the belt of her neckline.
Bai Xiyun's fingers are slender, the bones are distinct, and the action of carefully beating the belt is not skilled, so it can be seen that he rarely does these things on weekdays, and he has servant girls to serve him. But when he tied the belt for Qi Miao, his expression was very serious and focused, and he had to bend over to bend down to Qi Miao's height, which made people feel a warm current rising from the bottom of their hearts when they saw it, and the maidservant looked at the two of them with envy and blessing.
Qi Miao looked up at him, and waited until Bai Xiyun tied a bow and followed her eyes to meet her, but he was defeated between breaths. Because Qi Miao's eyes were too gentle, he almost got lost in them, if he didn't still have his senses, knowing that there were servant maids serving beside him, he would almost lean over and kiss them.
Qi Miao saw that Bai Xiyun's eyes were so hot, her cheeks were flushed, she was secretly ashamed and happy, and hurriedly took the cloak in the handmaid's hand and put it on for him, and tied the belt of the collar neatly.
Her shy and awkward appearance made Bai Xiyun's heart flutter.
He coughed before he said, "Let's go, you slow down, don't bump into it." ”
The two went out hand in hand, Yulian, Binglian, Ai Lian and Wenlian all followed, and went out of the Moon Gate to the front yard of Qinyuan, Guan Junyan also hurried out of the wing room: "Second brother, do you want to go to the front hall?"
"Exactly. Bai Xiyun bowed.
Guan Junyan said: "I'll go with my second brother and sister-in-law." Lest there be a guy who doesn't have long eyes and collides with the second sister-in-law, it's not good. ”
He is strong in martial arts, and he is also known as the guard given to him by the second prince, so it is naturally best to go together, so he nodded.
The group left Qinyuan and went straight to the front hall of the main courtyard, Fang Yi entered the hospital, and met a maidservant girl head-on, and it seemed that it was indeed a second-class girl serving in the courtyard of the old lady, named Yuelan.
Yuelan hurriedly saluted the two, and said with a smile: "The prince and his wife came just in time, there are distinguished guests arriving, and the old lady is ordering someone to invite you two, and I don't want you two to come." ”
Bai Xiyun nodded lightly, took Qi Miao's arm and entered the courtyard, and went to the front hall surrounded by the maid and Guan Junyan.
The lattice fan in the front hall is wide open, and there is a young girl in the front hall, Grandpa Sun, Princess Anjun, and a young girl, who are eating tea in the company of Lao Taijun and Zhang.
When the old lady saw Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao coming, she said with some pride: "My grandson and granddaughter-in-law are extremely filial, and they have always been like this in front of me. Alluding to Qi Miao and Bai Xiyun's small intentions, they rushed to come today.
They didn't bother to pay attention to the old lady, and naturally they didn't care about this innocuous boasting.
After a few thorough etiquettes, they took their seats according to their status.
Princess Anjun and the young girl have been looking at Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao curiously.
Qi Miao followed the line of sight of the two, looked back at them generously, and bowed her head. Only then did I remember that the girl was the last time I saw it in the palace of Wan Guifei, and it was probably the granddaughter of Princess Anjun, right?
Grandpa Sun stood up at this time. took out the flattery that he had just treated the old lady and the Zhang family that he didn't have at all, and saluted: "Lord Shizi, madam, a slave maid here is specially here to ask for your two help at the behest of Niangniang. ”
Qi Miao often walked around the palace, knowing that Grandpa Sun was Concubine Wan's confidant, and after intending to associate with him, he found that this person was extremely loyal to Concubine Wan, and he was smart and clever enough, so he started to make friends, and he had always been extremely polite with Grandpa Sun.
Qi Miao stood up and saluted: "Father-in-law Sun, don't be polite, what does the concubine Niangniang command, you just have to say it bluntly." We will not shirk what we can do. ”
As soon as Qi Miao's words fell, the Zhang family said strongly: "Father-in-law Sun, please say that is, if they dare to refuse, there will be me and the old lady." ”
It seems that Qi Miao and Bai Xiyun are obedient to the Zhang family and the old lady.
Although Qi Miao has a good temperament, she will not laugh at being trampled underfoot, and then said: "Now that exquisite refreshments have been prepared in Qinyuan, if Gonggong Sun and Princess Anjun don't dislike it, they might as well move to Qinyuan, and talk about it in detail, I don't know if it's okay?"
Princess Anjun is a master in charge of the inner house, and she is naturally very shrewd, and she has long seen that Qi Miao's attitude towards the Zhang family and the old lady is not warm or hot, so she remembered some rumors about the Bai family in the outside world, where is there anything that can't be seen clearly at this moment?
For a white marquis who has no official position and only has a title left, and has always been a mess of flowers, and an old lady who is full of calculations, Princess Anjun feels that it doesn't matter whether she makes friends or not, and now it is important to treat her son's illness, so she is naturally willing to give Qi Miao dignity.
