Glory all the way

Chapter 22
After that day, there seemed to be some common secret between Bai Yingluo and the sixth princess. Be wary of her as before, although the two seem to be not indifferent on the surface, their resistance to each other has softened a lot.

Along with the attitude of the sixth princess, the attitudes of the other young ladies also changed.

Although Dou Xiuqiao is cold-tempered and looks down on others, she is flattering to the sixth princess who is about to become the Queen of Da'an, let alone those young ladies. Therefore, a few days ago, the sixth princess looked down on Bai Yingluo, except for Sun Yantong who dared to talk to Bai Yingluo in private, everyone else deliberately avoided her.

For a moment, from the moment she stepped into the palace gate, Bai Yingluo was avoided by others like a snake and a scorpion.

But now, the Sixth Princess's attitude showed signs of softening, and those young ladies were also very good at observing words and expressions, and gradually became intimate with Bai Yingluo. In Xinlan Pavilion, there was a harmonious appearance.

In the embroidery class, Mrs. Qiaoshou mentioned the phrase "white hair floats in green water, and red palms touch the clear waves". The girls looked at a loss, and they couldn't imagine that this poem would have anything to do with embroidery.

Bai Yingluo was called by name, she stood up and looked at the expressionless face of Mrs. Skillful Hands, Bai Yingluo felt her mind went blank even more.

Her eyes involuntarily fell on the six princesses at the front, but Bai Yingluo's eyes suddenly lit up.

Today's Sixth Princess is wearing a water-red long dress, and the golden-green purse at the waist hangs on the skirt, making her look even more eye-catching.

Bai Yingluo moistened her throat and raised her voice to answer: "The main point of this poem lies in the four words of white hair, green water, red palm, and clear wave. When they are transformed into embroidery, it aims to explain that before the needle falls, there must be You must first choose a good color, otherwise, the embroidered things will lose a bit of aura."

Seeing that the skillful lady's expression softened a little, she nodded and turned to go forward, Bai Yingluo let out a sigh and sat down.

"Miss Bai's answer is exactly what I meant, so today's homework is very simple, everyone embroiders a flower, that flower can be grown in a nursery, or it can be imagined out of thin air, regardless of form, There is only one piece, and you must dare to boldly match colors. After the embroidery is finished, the class is over, and the get out of class can be over after handing in the homework."

The skillful lady finished her homework and began to embroider by herself.

The girls also sat in front of their own embroidery frames with a tacit understanding, staring blankly at the blank plain silk. After a while, someone began to embroider one after another.

The seven embroidery frames formed a circle, none of them could see the embroidery frames of the people around them, and the skillful lady got up from time to time to have a look, she just stood behind her and didn't make too many comments.

Bai Yingluo originally wanted to embroider a lotus flower, with several colors of pure white, light pink, and water red spreading out little by little, which would also show a bit of skill, but after all, there is a lotus pond outside the window, so it is a little less Interested, Bai Yingluo thought for a while before rejecting this idea.

Thinking of the skillful lady who said that she could imagine as she wished, Bai Yingluo hesitated for a while, then put on the silk thread and began to embroider.

After a stick of incense passed, Bai Yingluo put down the embroidery needle in her hand, and when she raised her eyes, the Sixth Princess, who was directly opposite, also took out the silk handkerchief in her sleeve and lightly flicked the plain silk on the embroidery frame. It was obviously completed.

"Those who have finished can leave get out of class."

Noticing the actions of the Sixth Princess and Bai Yingluo, the Skillful Lady raised her voice while walking behind the Sixth Princess.

After finishing the embroidery of the sixth princess, the lady with skillful hands stood up and walked behind Bai Yingluo, and looked at Bai Yingluo calmly. Back to the first seat.

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Bai Yingluo left Xinlan Pavilion silently.

"What did you embroider?"

Curiously looking at Bai Yingluo's embroidery frame, but found that nothing could be seen at all, the sixth princess followed Bai Yingluo's footsteps and asked.

Pursing her lips and smiling, Bai Yingluo replied in a low voice, "I embroidered a moon flower."

"Moon flower?"

She only heard about sun flowers, but never heard of moon flowers. The sixth princess became more and more curious.

Bai Yingluo smiled proudly, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and she was a little more cute than usual.

"It's a flower in the shape of a crescent moon, with bells on both sides. The crescent moon has three colors, ranging from plain white to pink to light yellow. The bells at both ends are pink, just like... like the morning glory on the wall. of."

Bai Yingluo described it carefully.

With her mouth half open, the sixth princess imagined in her mind how beautiful the flowers would be if they grew like what Bai Yingluo said, and suddenly, there was a touch of admiration on her face, "Bai Yingluo, you are so amazing, why do I want to How about going out?"

"What did the princess embroider?"

Bai Yingluo turned around and asked.

Shaking her head in frustration, the sixth princess replied in a low voice: "I embroidered the green lotus in the lotus pond outside the window, and I thought it was pretty good, but after hearing what you said, I felt that the flowers I embroidered were really terrible. "

Seeing that her appearance was not suitable for her age, Bai Yingluo lost her mind for a moment, took her hand and persuaded softly: "You don't think it's good, maybe the master thinks it is good. Besides, I also planned to embroider lotus flowers , but gave up."

"Really? Didn't you just say that to comfort me?"

Eyes brightened, the sixth princess asked in disbelief.

Bai Yingluo nodded hurriedly.

Seeing Bai Yingluo's appearance, the sixth princess did not doubt that she was there, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

The two came out of Xinlan Pavilion and walked forward talking and laughing all the way. They stopped at this moment, but they were in the Royal Garden. A few steps away in front of them, it was the rockery, and the pavilion on the rockery was where the two of them that day The pavilion that has spoken.

As if thinking of the topic of that day, the Sixth Princess looked a little unnatural.

After being coy for a while, the sixth princess suggested: "You and Zuo leave get out of class early today, the weather is not bad, let's go for a stroll in the garden, how about it?"

Looking up at the sky, although it was cloudy, it was a bit cooler, so Bai Yingluo nodded her head in response.

Like good friends, the two entered the pavilion holding hands and stepping on the stone steps.

"Why don't we let the servant girl go back to fetch some cakes and tea, and let's steal half a day's leisure here, how about it?"

As soon as they entered the pavilion, there was a breeze outside, and the fragrance of flowers in the imperial garden lingered in the noses of everyone. The sixth princess was excitedly circling around in the pavilion, and said with ideas.

"Look at the weather, I'm afraid it's going to rain soon, why don't we just sit and talk for a while, lest the pastry doesn't come and the rain falls."

Bai Yingluo looked outside for a few times, then turned her head and said playfully.

The Sixth Princess nodded, "Alright, then let's talk."

Thinking of the topic of that day, the sixth princess waved her hand, no matter what the weather was like outside, she waved away the following maidservants, and seeing that there was no one around, the sixth princess sat beside Bai Yingluo with a joyful tone He said: "When I went back that day, I dreamed of my mother at night. Although I didn't speak, I knew that it must be my mother. Only my mother can have such a soft smile and such gentle eyes."

What the sixth princess said, Bai Yingluo felt the same way.

Over the years, Bai Yingluo has dreamed countless times of her parents living in a small village in the outskirts. In the dream, her father was repairing the fence in the yard, and her mother would sit on the stone pier and mend old clothes. Even in the dream, Bai Yingluo felt soft and warm all over her body.

"I think about it day by day, and I dream about it at night. I often dream about my father and mother."

Bai Yingluo echoed with a smile.

The two seemed to be sharing a common secret, and they got closer invisibly. The Sixth Princess sighed sadly, and was about to speak, when she heard the footsteps of the palace maid outside the pavilion.

Immediately afterwards, Li Hua walked in and replied, "Princess, the empress is looking for you, please go there quickly."

Pouted a little unhappy, the sixth princess stood up and looked at Bai Yingluo and said: "I still have a lot to say to you, you wait for me here, I will come to look for you when I come out from the mother's place, okay? "

It's rare that the sixth princess showed her intention of being close, how could Bai Yingluo flatter her?
Immediately, Bai Yingluo nodded in agreement.

The sixth princess hurriedly went down the steps, even though it was far away, Bai Yingluo could still hear her displeased voice scolding Lihua.

Bai Yingluo pursed her lips and smiled: Actually, although the sixth princess is two years older than herself, from the perspective of her heart, she is just a girl who is about the same age as herself. , but more mature than the sixth princess.

And the similar life experience also made the sixth princess feel a little close to herself.

Thinking that this was her goal since entering the palace as a companion, Bai Yingluo was secretly pleased.

This time, Second Madam and Bai Yingyun will finally be disappointed, right?

Before Bai Yingluo could finish her complacency, after a thunderbolt, it suddenly started raining outside.

The expression on Bai Yingluo's face suddenly froze.

It's said that June is a child's face. This June is almost over. It hasn't rained for a whole month. What's the matter with the rain today?

Standing anxiously by the pillar, Bai Yingluo let out a long sigh as she watched the increasingly dense raindrops outside.

I hope that this rain will end sooner, so that I don't delay my time to leave the palace and return home.

Thinking this way, Bai Yingluo turned around resignedly and wanted to go back to the stone table and sit down, but just as she moved, she saw a black spot flashing in front of her from the corner of her eye, it was actually a figure.

The figure paused on the spot, looked around for a while, saw that there was nowhere to shelter from the rain, and ran towards the rockery with big strides.

Bai Yingluo's heart skipped a beat, she took a few steps back anxiously, and turned her back.

If the person who came was a eunuch and maidservant in the palace, it would be alright, but if it was a man, he would have to be cautious this time.

Before Bai Yingluo retreated to the stone table, at the door of the pavilion, a man had already strode in.

Obviously he didn't expect there to be anyone in the pavilion, and the man was surprised when he saw Bai Yingluo.
