Chapter 24 Ye Beihao

The two of them returned to their respective residences, but they didn't know that on the other side, the Prime Minister's Mansion, which should have been a mess, had stopped the noise because of the arrival of the Second Prince Ye Beihao.

At this time, in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Zhuo stood beside Ye Beihao, bowing respectfully.

"Did Ye Beiyi say anything when he came here this time?" Ye Beihao asked.

"Your Highness, no, he just admired the plum blossoms in the courtyard." After Li Zhuo finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and spoke again, "But the Third Prince came with the newly appointed Lord Bai, Bai Yan!"

"The one from Qingzhou?"

"That's right!"

"The Bai family was exiled to Qingzhou for more than ten years. Ye Beiyi was still young at that time, so we should not have had any friendship!" Ye Beihao frowned, and could not remember any connection between them. Then he simply stopped thinking about it and looked at Li Zhuo with his starry eyes.

"Keep an eye on the Bai family for the time being! See what the Bai family has that can attract my good brother!"

"Yes! But Your Highness is so outstanding, and the Third Prince has a violent temper and has never been liked by His Majesty. He will definitely not become a stumbling block on Your Highness' road to becoming the crown prince!" Li Zhuo said flatteringly.

Ye Beihao didn't care and curled his lips, "Of course I don't take him seriously, I just can't stand the way he relies on his military exploits and military tokens to look down on everyone!"

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of viciousness in his eyes. He spoke again, "Fortunately, he is used to being arrogant. He actually returned to the city early and did not report to the palace. This time, Your Highness wants to see how arrogant he can be!"

……

On the other side, Bai Qianxi walked all the way to her yard, but unexpectedly saw an uninvited guest in front of the door.

"You're back?" Bai Yulang's eyes lit up when he saw the person coming. A smile appeared on his handsome face and he walked up to him.

Bai Qianxi frowned at his abnormal behavior and was about to go around him, but was stopped by him again.

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you!"

Bai Qianxi dodged his touch and took two steps back before looking at him. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't push me!"

"I'm your brother! Can't you be nicer?"

"You are Bai Qianyi's brother! If you want to show your deep brotherly love, please turn left here!" After Bai Qianxi said this, she wanted to leave impatiently, but she didn't expect Bai Yulang to follow her like a dog-skin plaster and hold the gate that was about to close.

"I know you're still angry. I was wrong yesterday. I misunderstood you for pushing Yi'er. But she also said that she was too scared and didn't understand the situation clearly, so she misunderstood you." Bai Yulang said, and then hurriedly handed her the thing in his other hand," These are tea cakes from Gaoweierxuan. Yi'er had people line up to buy them early in the morning, and asked me to give them to you and apologize to you!
We are all family, so considering her sincerity, you should stop being angry!"

Bai Yulang was talking to himself, but he didn't notice that Bai Qianxi's face was still as cold as ever.

"Oh, just talking and telling the servants to buy some things is considered sincerity?" Bai Qianxi said, looking up at him with a sarcastic expression, "If you are really sincere, you should come and apologize in person for wrongly accusing me! Instead of going through your hands!"

"You misunderstood... She was just embarrassed and afraid that you would reject her..." Bai Yulang's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and he felt that something was wrong.

Bai Qianxi snorted coldly, "Do you believe what you said?"

After saying that, she pushed him hard and then slammed the door shut.

Bai Yulang was still in shock. Looking at the closed door, he felt that the tea and fruit in his hands had become heavy.

The perception in my mind is also shifting a little bit!
……

Silent all night.

The next day, Bai Qianxi got up early and started to train her physique. An hour later, after Bai Qianxi finished washing up, a maid knocked on the door.

"Fifth Miss, the master invites you to the front hall for dinner!"

Bai Qianxi was stunned. She always ate alone in the courtyard, so why did he think of asking her to have dinner together today?

However, it didn't seem like a good thing, but she still nodded with the spirit of facing difficulties head-on, "I'll be there in a minute!"

After saying that, she returned to the room and untied her veil. The originally hideous scar was not only smaller in area, but also much lighter in color. If it was covered up carefully, it would probably only leave some shallow marks.

She looked at herself in the mirror, a hint of amusement suddenly flashed in her eyes, and then she picked up the rouge on the table and started applying it.

A quarter of an hour later, Bai Qianxi arrived at the front hall as promised wearing a veil.

At this time, the food had already been laid out in the front hall. Bai Yan sat in the first seat, while An and Bai Yulang sat on his left and right, followed by Bai Qianyi.

The four of them just sat there, looking at the food on the table, without moving at all.

Are you waiting for her?
Before Bai Qianxi could speak, Bai Qianyi spoke up, "I guess my sister must be a little tired because she has been out so many times recently. Unlike me, I stay at home all day long, so naturally she gets up earlier."

"Are you mocking me for coming later than you?" Bai Qianxi spoke directly!
Bai Qianyi's expression froze. She thought that she would explain it in a tactful way to save face, but she didn't expect that she would ask such a straightforward question! Instead, she didn't know what to say!

"Why aren't you talking? Or are you mocking me for going out all day and not being as well-behaved as you?" Bai Qianxi didn't care how ugly her face was and continued to ask.

Bai Qianyi's mouth twitched slightly, but seeing Bai Yulang looking at her with doubtful eyes, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister, you are overthinking it. I just care about you and am afraid that you are tired!"

"Oh, then I misunderstood! It's okay, let's eat!" Bai Qianxi said, then sat down and served herself a bowl of porridge.

Everyone was stunned, and Bai Yan's hand holding the chopsticks froze in mid-air.

Bai Qianyi was about to speak when she saw Bai Qianxi looking at her, "What? Sister, do you have something to say?"

"I..." Bai Qianyi thought about how she had been humiliated by her, and finally swallowed her words and shook her head, "No!"

"That's good. Why are you all standing there? Eat quickly!" Bai Qianxi waved at them.

Bai Yulang was hesitant about what happened yesterday and was absent-minded. As she spoke, he picked up some food and put it in his mouth.

Seeing Bai Qianxi like this, An became furious and was about to speak when Bai Yan stopped her.

"Okay, let's eat!" Bai Yan spoke. An didn't know what to say. She just glared at Bai Qianxi fiercely, then followed Bai Yan and started eating.

The dinner table became quiet for a while. Bai Qianxi looked at everyone who had started eating, a cunning look flashed in her eyes, and she spoke.

"It's not easy to eat with a veil on!" Then she took off her veil.

"puff……"

"Ahem..."

"ah……"

Several different voices were heard, some were choked, some spat out the porridge they had just drunk, and Bai Qianyi, who was closest to them, screamed in fright.
