marry a princess

Chapter 317

It rained all night last night, and the sun came out early today. The sky after the rain seemed to be washed by water. It was blue and charming, with light clouds and breezy wind. It is a rare good weather in summer.

The door of the house was opened lightly, and a woman in a goose-yellow thin shirt and skirt without makeup came out slowly from the house.She walked to the eaves and stopped, put her hands lightly on her forehead to block the pouring sunlight, looked up and raised her eyes, raised her lips and smiled, comfortable and indifferent.

The maid who was watering the flowers with a wooden bucket turned her head inadvertently, and seeing the woman who was about to step down the steps, she hurriedly put the wooden bucket on the ground, wiped her hands on her clothes indiscriminately, walked over to support her, and smiled. Looking at her, "Miss got up, why didn't you call us?"

This woman is none other than Bai Ziwan who 'resurrected from the dead'.

Bai Ziwan glanced at Qinglan who had a bright face, and Yueluo who came after him, pointed to a few osmanthus trees in the flower bed with a smile, and said in surprise, "Ah, it's blooming." No wonder the scent of osmanthus was smelled inside the house , I thought I had smelled it wrong.

August osmanthus is fragrant, but for some reason, these few osmanthus trees still haven't bloomed at the beginning of September.I thought it would not bloom, but who would have thought that it will bloom again today.

Yueluo supported Bai Ziwan on the other side, walked to the flower platform, and said, "When I woke up in the morning, I smelled the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. I thought there was something wrong with my sense of smell. At this time, the sweet-scented osmanthus had already passed its flowering period, and it was only later that I discovered the sweet-scented osmanthus in our yard. The sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom."

"Just open it." Bai Ziwan leaned over and smelled it, the fragrance was fragrant and refreshing, and then he got up and said to the two, "Remember to gather the sweet-scented osmanthus to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake tomorrow, and add some sweet-scented osmanthus to the rice balls. That smell..."

Qinglan Yueluo and Bai Ziwan haven't been together for long, but they already know her name like thunder and know a lot about her.These days they waited around her, seeing that this young lady not only did not have half the pretensions of her master, but also treated them like sisters, and occasionally cooked for them by herself, making them food and snacks.Gradually, the two let go of their only worries and chatted and played casually.

At this moment, seeing Bai Ziwan swallowing saliva continuously when he mentioned the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and the fermented glutinous rice balls, the two couldn't help laughing, but they didn't dare to laugh seriously, so they had to bite their lips to endure it, it was really uncomfortable.

"Laugh if you want to laugh, or don't blame me if you feel hurt inside." Bai Ziwan looked at the two of them and said, "A few days ago, you always said that I am powerful and capable, but now you think that my lady is not just lazy, Or a glutton?"

The two were about to laugh, but when they heard what she said behind them, they subconsciously looked at each other and quickly shook their heads in denial.

"You don't need to defend me." Bai Ziwan said with a slight smile, "Although food is the most important thing for the people, I can indeed eat some these days. Sometimes I even wonder if I was reincarnated from a starving ghost in my previous life." She pinched the fat on her waist with a depressed face.

"Puchi", Qinglan laughed out loud, and continued, "Even if she is a starving ghost, our lady is also the most beautiful starving ghost, isn't she Yueluo?" She looked at Yueluo.

Yue Luo nodded in agreement, and continued, "Miss is pregnant with little master, eat more young lady and young master to be healthy."

Bai Ziwan shook his head dumbfounded, you two are clearly copies of Rue Xiang, your mouths are like honey, not only making her happy, but also urging her to eat more for the sake of the baby in her womb, not at all afraid of her eating too much Big fat woman.

Qinglan yelled, raised her hand and slapped her forehead, handed Bai Ziwan to Yueluo and said, "Yueluo, help the lady to rest first, I'll bring the tremella and lotus seed soup to the lady."

Seeing the figure hurriedly heading to the kitchen, Bai Ziwan sighed in frustration, it seemed that they really wanted her to turn herself into a fat woman.

Every day after breakfast or nap, as long as it wasn't raining, Bai Ziwan would sit under the flower vines on one side for a while, so the two bought a chaise longue and put it under the flower vines.

As soon as Yueluo helped Bai Ziwan to sit down on the imperial concubine chair, Qinglan came over with tremella and lotus seed soup, babbling and talking, but she smiled brightly.Seemingly afraid that Bai Ziwan would not eat, Qinglan put the bowl in her hand without any explanation, and signaled with her eyes that she must eat.

Bai Ziwan couldn't help sighing softly, lowered her head, and ate the white fungus and lotus seed soup spoonful by spoonful.Living here for nearly a month, staying here is not because she can't let go of everything here, but because she is afraid that Yuan Hao's words will not be believed. The emperor's heart is the most unpredictable. She regretted it, but fortunately she didn't, which made her breathe a long sigh of relief.

However, no one expected that Princess Ningqing, who died in the meeting hall that day, is still alive and well in the capital city.

Knowing that Yuan Haochu refused to let Chi Junrui and the others leave, she hoped to think of a way to have the best of both worlds, which would not only allow Yuan Haochu to agree to let Chi Junrui and the others leave, but also prevent Puyang Jing from taking advantage of Puyang Qingyu's death. Send troops to Da Zhou.However, after knowing Yuan Haochu's conspiracy, she knew that the root of this matter was Yuan Haochu, and it was not easy for him to agree.

He has already decided to push Puyang Qingyu's death on her. As we all know, Puyang Qingyu went to Linjiang City on his own regardless of his identity, and she did not hesitate to threaten her own life to save Puyang Qingyu, so no matter whether she admits it or not, Pu Yangjing will definitely associate her with Fengyu Villa. The important thing is that although Fengyu Villa is in the Jianghu and has little relationship with the imperial court, it always threatens the imperial court. It is said that Fengyu Villa has a treasure map, and all the surrounding countries do not think about it. to get rid of it, so as to get the treasure.

After she died, Yuan Haochu didn't have the trump card to hold back Fengfeng Villa, and he didn't have to worry that his Dazhou would change hands because of her, let alone try to get rid of her.Chi Junrui knew about her relationship with Puyang Qingyu, and Puyang Qingyu had explained to Ali long ago. With the two of them working together, Puyang Jing would naturally not send troops to Fengyu Villa.

That's why she directed this good show with Su Yan, Leng Ling, and Leng Shuo.

The cup of dove wine that he drank that day was tampered with. What was in the wine was not poison, but a medicine that could make people die for three days.She is the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the funeral was naturally held according to the rules of the princess. However, on the night of the burial, Su Yan Leng Ling dug her out and sent her to this courtyard that had been prepared earlier, so the tomb of Princess Ningqing is just An empty tomb.

Family ugliness should not be publicized, especially in the royal family. Yuan Haochu announced to the outside world that Princess Ningqing contracted a sudden disease and died of illness.The common people didn't believe it, they all speculated that it was she and Puyang Qingyu's adultery, and when the love was discovered, they committed suicide in fear of crime.Knowing that Pan's mother and daughter were thrown into prison, that Pan Ren was dismissed, and that Bai Hongtai and Bai Zinan resigned, the people believed that all of this was caused by her.

Bai Ziwan smiled to herself, she had already been reborn once, this time, she died and came back to life, does it count as the second rebirth...

Two knocks on the door broke the silence in the courtyard, and also pulled one person out of his thoughts.Qinglan ran over to open the courtyard door, and said happily, "Sister Su Yan, sister Leng Ling, you are here."

Bai Ziwan put down the bowl, looked up and saw Su Yan and Leng Ling coming in, followed by Leng Shuo, smiled and said, "You guys are here."

"Miss."

"You chat with Miss first, let's go make tea." Yueluo moved the bench over and pulled Qinglan to the kitchen.

The three of them sat down without speaking for a long time, only hearing the vague sound of wind passing by their ears and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus lingering in front of their noses.

"Miss, everything is ready, shouldn't it be time to leave tomorrow?" After a long time, Leng Ling spoke, breaking the silence of several people.

"He...is he alright?" These days, Su Yan, Leng Ling, and Leng Shuo still lived in Ningqing Palace in order to keep her filial piety, and often came to see her in the dead of night.They knew what she wanted to know most in her heart, but they just kept silent.

It has been ten days since Yuan Hongyi came back. Hearing that he caused a disturbance in the palace, he ordered the grave to be dug to distinguish the real from the fake. It was because of the obstruction of Yunxiang and Bai Zinan that he stopped.She didn't tell Yunxiang because she was afraid she wouldn't be able to hide the matter, and didn't tell Bai Zinan because she didn't want him to worry.

Finally asked.Leng Ling said, "Miss, since you have decided to let go of everything here, don't pay attention to it. He is the prince of Dazhou, so naturally nothing will happen."

Bai Ziwan frowned and looked at Su Yan, "Su Yan, even you won't tell me?" She could ignore other things, but she couldn't ignore him. He is her husband and the father of her child!

Su Yan is already a married woman, so she understands the reluctance and concern in Bai Ziwan's heart, but if she tells the truth, with the temperament of a young lady, she will definitely not agree to leave.

"Sister Su Yan, sister Leng Ling, you should tell Miss." Yueluo came over with tea and said, "You haven't come over these two days, and Miss wakes up calling Ningqing King's name every day. What's more... We are about to leave, if you don't tell me, even if Miss leaves, she won't feel at ease."

In the eastern suburbs outside the city, Ziyunpo.

The trees on both sides are criss-crossed with luxuriant branches and leaves, and the sunlight pours down through the branches, sprinkling the ground mottled.A leaf-strewn road stretches forward.The surrounding area is quiet and silent, only the chirping of birds and the rustling of branches can be heard in the treetops.

At the end of the road, a tomb suddenly appeared. A man in green clothes sat on the side of the tombstone, raised his head, and poured all the spirits in the jug into his mouth.The wine overflowed from his mouth and landed on the hem of his clothes, and it became a big piece in an instant. He seemed to be unaware, drinking the wine, turning his head from time to time, opening and closing his mouth, as if talking about something, with a haggard face and despairing eyes.

This is what Bai Ziwan saw behind the tree, her heart ached, her eyes were full of tears, she bit her lower lip tightly, not daring to make a sound, and reminded herself not to go out.Because she knew that once he found out, everything she had done would be in vain.

"Has he always been like this?" Her voice was choked with sobs, her heart seemed to be pierced by countless needles, and the blood would not flow like a river, but it made her life worse than death.

Su Yan nodded, and said, "Miss should know about King Ningqing's rioting in the palace and ordering the digging of the grave, right? Since that day, he has been staying here, drinking away his sorrows and refusing to return home. Yu Guang was sent to take him back forcibly, but he was beaten half to death, and threatened that no matter who killed you, he would not let him go. Yuan Hao was so angry that the empress dowager was very worried, afraid that the prince would know the truth and murder him own father."

"Where's the sixth? Didn't he persuade Yi to go back?"

Leng Ling said, "Miss should know the prince's temperament, he has nothing to do with Yuan Haochu and the empress dowager, let alone the sixth prince."

Bai Ziwan was about to say something more, but he saw Yuan Hongyi standing up suddenly with his hands on his hands, and shouted at the tombstone, "Awan, you promised me to take good care of myself, our children, and wait for me to come back, why did you Go back on what you said?"

He took a few sips of wine, threw the jug on the ground, and there was a crisp sound, and the jug fell apart.Pointing to the tombstone, he continued to shout, "You said that no matter what happened, you would stay with me and never leave. Why did you leave? You don't care about your own life or death, don't you care about our children's life and death? Why did I The people I cared about left me one by one, first the mother and queen, and now you and the child? Is this my fate, or is it because I look down on women that God punished me like this? Ah Wan, tell me, tell me!"

No, that's not the case!Bai Ziwan shook his head mechanically, with tears streaming down his face, heartbroken, Yi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

"Ah Wan, you planned all of this a long time ago, didn't you? Put your own life in exchange for Puyang Qingyu's departure. Since you have already decided, why give me hope! You say you love me, but the one you love the most The person is still Puyang Qingyu!"

The tearing roar is like a lone goose that has lost its partner, sad and desperate.Bai Ziwan shook his head, crying out in his heart, it's not like this.Yi, that's not the case!But he couldn't hear it at all, and had already decided that she had abandoned him.

"Miss, what are you going to do?" Leng Shuo grabbed Bai Ziwan and said expressionlessly, "Are you going there? Are you going to tell him everything and let him know that you are still alive?"

"I... Leng Shuo, let me go, I want to go, I can't take it anymore, I want to tell him everything, tell him that I am still alive." She has experienced the pain of losing her lover, how can she leave such pain to Yi, go away by yourself?

"No!" Leng Shuo grabbed her tightly and said, "Everyone knows that Princess Ning Qing is dead, you go out and tell him that you are still alive, if Yuan Haochu finds out, do you think he will let you go? Or You want him to watch you die in front of him, and taste the pain of losing you once?"

Bai Ziwan's body shook, Zhang Dayan looked at Leng Shuo, and then at Yuan Hongyi.

Leng Ling held Bai Ziwan's arm and said, "Miss, I know you are feeling very uncomfortable, but brother is right, you can't go out, and you can't let anyone know that you are still alive." Then he said, "If you take it seriously Don't worry about King Ningqing, when we return to Jiangnan, try to hint that you are still alive, okay?"

"The method Linger said is feasible." Su Yan interjected, "Miss, even if you don't care about your own safety, you still have to take care of your little master. I promise you, when I arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, I will immediately tell the prince that you are still alive. OK?"

Bai Ziwan withdrew her gaze and looked at the slightly protruding belly. What Su Yan said was right, she could disregard her own safety, but she could not disregard the child in her belly.

Looking at the person in front of the grave again, Bai Ziwan said guiltily, "Yi, I'm sorry, forgive me, don't hate me, take good care of yourself."

Early the next morning, they left the capital.Su Yan, Leng Ling, and Leng Shuo were not from Ningqing Palace in the first place, so naturally no one stopped them from leaving, and Bai Ziwan became an old man.Unavoidably being suspected, Su Yan and the Leng family brothers and sisters left the city first, while Bai Ziwan and Qinglan Yueluo left the city together, and then joined outside the city.

After thinking about it again and again, she decided to send Su Yan the letter she had prepared earlier to send to Yuan Hongyi. No matter whether he would forgive herself after reading the letter, she didn't want him to continue to be decadent and negative.

The journey was smooth, leaving the capital, and after meeting Su Yan and the others outside the city, a group of six drove towards the direction of Jiangnan.

Unknowingly, it has been four days. In the past four days, Bai Ziwan either looked out of the car without saying a word, or closed his eyes and fell asleep.They knew that Zi Wan felt uncomfortable, so they didn't say much, they only hoped that their young lady would be happy sooner.

After going like this for another day, they arrived at Yuechi County at sunset and stayed at a red leaf inn.Leng Shuo took the horse to the stables in person, Qinglan Yueluo fixed the room, sent the luggage up, and was busy ordering food after getting down, Leng Ling didn't know where she went, so she just kept her company.

Not long after, Xiaoer brought food, Qinglan, Yueluo, and Leng Shuo also came and sat down one after another, regardless of master and servant, except Leng Ling.

"Where did Leng Ling go?" Bai Ziwan couldn't help asking.

Su Yan's expression brightened, and the young lady was finally willing to speak. "Ling'er said she wanted to buy something, miss, let's eat first."

"Leng Shuo, go out and see if Leng Ling is back."

Qinglan chuckled, and said, "Miss, is it possible that she is worried that sister Leng Ling will get lost? Don't worry, sister Leng Ling will definitely know the way back."

"It's been a day's journey, Miss, you can eat first, and call after Ling'er comes back."

"It's okay, let's use it together when Ling'er comes back." After finishing the sentence, seeing a lavender figure coming in from outside, Bai Ziwan said, "I'm back."

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." Leng Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down next to Su Yan.

"It doesn't matter if you wait for a long time, as long as you don't get lost." Qing Lan took the chopsticks and handed them over, and said with a smile, "Miss hasn't seen you coming back, I thought you got lost, and I can't even eat."

"really?"

Seeing Leng Ling's face approaching suddenly, Bai Ziwan blinked at him, and couldn't help but smile, "Really, truer than pearls."

"At first, I was worried that Miss would hurt Su Yan more than me, but now I can finally rest assured." Leng Ling patted his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Others laughed.

In the past few days, she has been silent, but they are the ones who are in trouble, and she is cautious, watching their words and expressions.Bai Ziwan said, "I'm sorry, it won't happen in the future."

A few people were taken aback for a moment, then understood, and smiled at each other.

"How long will it take to reach Jiangnan?" Bai Ziwan asked after taking a bite of his meal.

"It will be there in three days." Leng Shuo put down the bowl and chopsticks and replied.

There are three more days.Bai Ziwan seemed to be thinking about something, then nodded to himself, and said, "Let's eat, after a day's journey, go back to the house early to rest after eating."
