Chapter 173

"No thanks, go slowly, girl."

When Bai Yuyou turned around, Huai Chu looked at the carriage in front of her, estimating the time in his heart.

Before he could estimate for a while, a new business came, and Huai Chu had no choice but to bow his head and go on with his own business.

Bai Yuyou returned to the carriage with the cake, gave it to Song Hechen, and said, "If you are hungry, eat these, drinking tea in the morning will hurt your stomach."

Song Hechen stared at the cakes in front of him, and then looked at Bai Yuyou, as if he had something to say.

Bai Yuyou glanced at Song Hechen, and said with a smile: "You can say what you want, you don't have to be so afraid of me."

The corner of Song Hechen's mouth choked slightly, but in the end he didn't say a word.

He didn't speak, and Bai Yuyou wouldn't force him to say it, but she said again: "The day after tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and five days later it will be a state banquet. After the state banquet, there will be banquets of all sizes, so many Except for the state banquet, you don't have to attend the banquet. These days, take good care of your illness."

Bai Yuyou said such a long story, which warmed Song Hechen's heart a little bit, but he was still very curious why, as a princess of Dongyuan Kingdom, she could not trample on him as a prisoner of war, and even added more care.

Song Hechen would not ask about these things, and Bai Yuyou would naturally not tell him.

Donghuafu.

After returning to the mansion, Bai Yuyou didn't stay any longer, and went directly to the study.

Let's not talk about the purpose of the wheat cake store manager, but he told Bai Yuyou that Bai Yuyou now needs to notify Pingzhang's political affairs and several ministers who maintained the order of Yonghe Hall that day.

The pen in Bai Yuyou's hand moved quickly, and several letters were almost finished in an instant.

"Yueqi, this letter is for Pingzhang Zhengshi, and this letter is for Privy Envoy. For the rest of the letters, just take your time."

"Yes," Yue Qi took the letter from Bai Yuyou, and said in a distressed tone, "But Your Royal Highness, you haven't had breakfast yet, why don't I ask someone to bring it up first."

"Okay, let's do it."

Bai Yuyou summoned Zhang Ji before Pingzhang Zhengshi and the Privy Envoy arrived.

"Last time you said that the monks from the Buddhist temple came from slaves, so tell me what the situation in this slave farm is like."

After Zhang Ji saluted Bai Yuyou, he told her about the slave farm according to Bai Yuyou's request.

Bai Yuyou's understanding of the slave market is that the slave market is a huge trading place that connects the four countries. There are too many mysteries in it, so she didn't go deep into it.

During the day, the slave farm is an ordinary place for commodity circulation, and only a small area is used for slave trading.

And Zhang Ji is from there, and Bai Yuyou also met by chance, and brought Zhang Ji back by a coincidence.

Speaking of which, Yuexi also stayed there, it seems more convenient to ask Yuexi herself, but Yuexi still has something for her to do now.

At night, the slave market is a lively place, anything and everything can happen, no matter how explicit and exciting it is, there seems to be nothing impossible in the slave market at night.

Bai Yuyou thought that after the state banquet was over, he would also need to go to the slave farm to inquire again.

After Pingzhang Zhengshi received Bai Yuyou's letter, he hurried to Bai Yuyou's house.But the privy envoy was so busy with his official duties that he couldn't get away because the new year was approaching, so he didn't come.

"Your Highness, what is going on here?"

Mr. Chen was a little anxious. If such a major event as a fire happened during the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, I'm afraid he would be severely punished by His Majesty.

After all, the Empress Dowager believes in Buddhism, and the most unbearable thing for the Buddhist family is the fire.

Once there is a fire, it means that bad luck will be entangled. The so-called dishonesty will cause such a situation to appear.

This is absolutely intolerable to the Empress Dowager.

At that time, once Emperor Dongyuan is tracked down, she will be the first to bear the brunt of Pingzhang's political affairs, followed by His Royal Highness the Second Princess.

However, she did not expect that Her Royal Highness the Third Princess would be able to understand this matter better than the Second Princess.

"Master Chen, don't worry, maybe I'm too suspicious. First of all, spreading incense ash all over the palace has become a way for the Buddhist family to hope for good luck in everyone's eyes."

"If we remove all these incense ash now, it will not only be difficult for the Empress Dowager, but also His Majesty will have no reason to ask."

"After all, this is just my one-sided opinion, and it cannot be regarded as absolute. If my guess is wrong, I will call Mr. Chen, you don't know how to explain it."

Bai Yuyou comforted Chen Shuhua, telling her not to worry too much, maybe she guessed wrong.

But the heart of defense is indispensable, and this matter itself was arranged by the eldest princess.

Reminiscing about the events of his previous life, this made Bai Yuyou pay more attention.

So maybe it didn't happen in the previous life, and in this life, the eldest princess hasn't done it so early, and Bai Yuyou may just be too suspicious now.

"It's okay, I would like to thank Your Highness the Third Princess for letting me know, otherwise I don't know how to explain to Your Majesty what happened."

Chen Shuhua didn't even know how to thank Bai Yuyou, since she hadn't had much contact with Her Highness the Princess.

It would be reasonable for Her Royal Highness not to tell her this time, but Bai Yuyou still chose to tell her.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, Chen Shuhua would like to thank His Highness the Third Princess for her kindness.

"When you can't explain it, Mr. Chen doesn't need to explain it. The matter itself is left to the Second Princess, right?"

Bai Yuyou couldn't understand why Chen Shuhua chose to take care of everything by herself.

Although it is said that there are blessings and hardships, but in the intriguing officialdom, it is a blessing not to stab each other in the back.

Bai Yuyou has never met such a boss who can take responsibility for his subordinates, and it is enough to see that Chen Shuhua can make friends with this person.

"That being said, the Ministry of Rites that the Second Princess belongs to is also my subordinate, so how can I shirk my responsibility."

"Okay. I also accidentally learned that the incense ash sprinkled in the palace is black incense ash, which has a low ignition point. If there is no air circulation, it can cause a fire in a short time. So when the time comes, the Yonghe Hall must ventilation."

"In addition, we will make arrangements for the backup. Once the matter is beyond our control, we must first protect the safety of the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty."

As for the queen, Bai Yuyou didn't mention it, and Chen Shuhua knew some Wang families, so she didn't say much.

Bai Yuyou also didn't want to spoil her interest in going out for a parade through the small things just now.

The bustling people on the street scrambled to go to the front square, and with the sound of playing in their ears, this street was also extremely lively.

The streets of Yuandu are crowded with people.Official ladies chatted and laughed in high-rise buildings; ordinary people surrounded the streets.

Listening to the melodious music coming from nowhere in the city, I looked at the imperial city, which was incomparably gorgeous even in the dark.

As soon as Bai Yuyou turned around, Song Hechen was standing not far from him.It's just that there was a lot of crowds, and Song Hechen was sitting in a wheelchair, which seemed inconvenient.

There was a wave of fluctuation in Bai Yuyou's eyes, as if ripples suddenly appeared on the calm and windless water.

Before midnight, I don’t know who made the first move, and the sound of shooting stars after the fireworks ascended to the sky suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Boom" a beautiful arc across the sky, suddenly exploded in the sky, and the circle of fireworks continued to light up and expand in the dark. It was so beautiful and spectacular.

Then it was out of control, and a large number of fireworks poured down from the sky, turning into a red and golden "waterfall".

It has the momentum of "flying down three thousand feet", which sets off the original black sky more colorfully.

Thousands of households are shrouded in fireworks, and the fireworks float and dance on the ground in the minds of the common people. What dances is hope, what blooms is beauty, what spreads is celebration, and what sprinkles is laughter.

Bai Yuyou remembered that Song Hechen never liked this noisy environment, as early as when the first fireworks sounded, she had already walked to Song Hechen's side.

Putting his hands on Song Hechen's ears, he said softly, "Have you ever seen such a beautiful scene on the battlefield?"

This unexpected fireworks seemed to push everyone's hearts into a beautiful illusion, bright and blurred.

Song Hechen remained silent, he raised his head, his eyes reflected the gorgeous colors in the sky.

After a while, Yan Huo took a rest with a little tiredness, and the imperial city became more and more lively.

Yue Qi walked to Bai Yuyou's side, and said loudly: "It seems that singing girls are performing in front, shall we go and see?"

Bai Yuyou's body leaned forward slightly, as if the figure was leaning against Song Hechen's back.

The performances of the singing girls are just to watch at this time, and many high-ranking officials and nobles will come to watch the fun.

If you are lucky, you will be able to buy it with money and redeem yourself if you meet a noble person with the same mind.

There is no need to continue to worry about the future in this workshop.

"No, let's go shopping elsewhere." Bai Yuyou smiled and turned around.

"Beautiful sister!"

Before Bai Yuyou had gone far, a voice came from behind.

She turned to look at the voice—

Unexpectedly, they were Prime Minister Fan's two children.One is gentle and elegant, and the other is dignified.They really deserve to be the sons and daughters of Fan Yuan.

Bai Yuyou remembered what Tang Shiyun said in the store just now: These two children ran out secretly, and the family didn't know about it.I don't know if I'm in a hurry now.

Thinking of this, Bai Yuyou glanced at Yueqi.Yue Qi quickly nodded in understanding, and went towards Fan Yuan's residence.

"What's the matter with you two?"

Bai Yuyou's eyes flicked over the two children, and it looked like the younger sister was going to talk to him.But the younger sister has been hesitant to speak, and looks embarrassed to speak.

As the older brother, Fan Lin silently encouraged him for a long time, but the younger sister still didn't dare to speak.

Fan Lin was about to speak for his younger sister, but Fan Rou suddenly had the courage, "The beautiful sister is just so courageous, and she can make Sister Tang's aunt dare not continue to argue. I like you very much, sister."

After finishing speaking, the younger sister quickly hid behind her brother, carefully observing Bai Yuyou's reaction after listening to her words from the corner of her eyes.

A trace of shame flashed across Fan Lin's face, and his earlobes immediately turned red.

"Thank you for your liking, sister. This time, it's my sister who is taking advantage of it. No matter what, I can't steal it from others. I still want to thank you two for your righteous words just now."

Bai Yuyou stood with his hands behind his back, leaning against Song Hechen's wheelchair, looking at the two in front of him with satisfaction.

The two young people can have such a heart, and they will definitely do something in the future.

Thinking about it, Fan Yuan could feel a lot more at ease.

"Beautiful sister, my sister is very happy with what you did just now, so I came here to explain it. Then we will leave first. Don't disturb the beautiful sister and brother."

Su Mu: "..."

After Yue Qi went to Fan Yuan's mansion to communicate, Bai Yuyou and Song Hechen also had a good time strolling around.

Song Hechen didn't want to know, but seeing Bai Yuyou was carrying a lot of things, Yue Qi knew that His Highness must be very happy today.

On the carriage, Bai Yuyou and Song Hechen were alone.

Bai Yuyou didn't expect Song Hechen to talk to her, but she never thought that she would take the initiative to talk to her today, just because Monk Zhang Er was confused.

"There is no such beautiful scenery." Song Hechen said.

Bai Yuyou probably knew what Song Hechen was talking about, but he leaned against Song Hechen's ear and whispered something when the fireworks were lifted into the sky.

I thought he didn't hear it, and I didn't want to hear it, but I didn't answer myself.

"But these beautiful scenery in the imperial city are all obtained by the soldiers who are far away on the battlefield, desperately guarding the scenery." Bai Yuyou's eyes darkened, with a bit of sadness on his face, "If there is no war, It would be great, and it's time for the soldiers who have been guarding it for many years to go home and have a look."

Song Hechen's eyes fell on Bai Yuyou's face, and his heart was a little touched.

Not long after arriving at the mansion, Yue Qi sent a Geng invitation, saying: "Your Highness, this is the guest list for the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet tomorrow. It was sent by Mr. Pingzhang Zhengshi to ask you to have a look. If there is anything wrong If it’s appropriate, you can immediately bring it up with her.”

The Queen Mother's birthday banquet list?
Bai Yuyou took the Geng invitation from Yue Qi, and couldn't help thinking: Could it be possible that the Queen Mother also hosted many ministers at this birthday banquet?
She opened the Geng Post and glanced around, and saw Tang Shiyun, Prime Minister Fan, Tao Xiang and others among them.

It was not an exaggeration for the court minister to be invited, but Bai Yuyou took a closer look and saw Song Hechen's name in it.

Subconsciously, his eyes fell on Song Hechen for a moment.

When Song Hechen received Bai Yuyou's gaze, he was also taken aback.But soon he was relieved, after all, who doesn't want to see the general who defeated Dongyuan country in the past.Who doesn't want to step on the general's body.

In the dead of night, all lights are turned off.

After midnight, the hustle and bustle of the streets gradually subsided, but Donghua Mansion was still brightly lit.
