Glory all the way

Chapter 221
Bai Yingluo couldn't tell if Jia Shi's words were true or not, after all, she also heard it from hearsay, and the two of them talked about it in private, it was all just to relieve boredom.

But that last sentence struck Bai Yingluo's heart like a drum, making her unable to calm down for a long time.

In her previous life, Princess Qingcheng raised many face heads, but she took a fancy to Du Xuan because he was similar in appearance to one of her favorite lords.

Coincidentally, Princess Qingcheng went to Xiaoshan Temple to pay homage to the lord, and met Du Xuan when she went down the mountain, so she believed that Du Xuan was the incarnation of the lord, and wanted Du Xuan to come into the mansion with her.

"Sixth sister, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Bai Yingluo startled, Jia asked with concern.

"what?"

When she came back to her senses, Bai Yingluo shook her head as if covering up, "Oh, it's nothing. I just think that now that she's back in Beijing, I'm afraid I can't bring up those things in the past. Otherwise, it doesn't matter whether it's the queen mother or the emperor. , I'm afraid I won't spare those tongue-tied people lightly."

Jia Shi nodded in agreement, and immediately, she pursed her lips and snickered: "That day when Princess Qingcheng returned to the capital, there was something lively outside. Although I didn't go to see it, someone told me about the situation outside. , it is said that on both sides of Princess Qingcheng's carriage, there is a handsome and handsome gentleman."

The implication is that those gentlemen are probably the faces raised by Princess Qingcheng.

After listening to what Jia Shi said, Bai Yingluo couldn't be surprised anymore.

After talking a lot with great interest, Jia Shi became a little tired, Bai Yingluo left Xu Hexuan and went to Lanxin Pavilion to rest for a while.

The whole day, Bai Yingluo was immersed in the rumors she heard, and her mood could not be at peace for a moment.

Fearing that Old Madam Bai would notice something strange, she woke up in the afternoon, Bai Yingluo greeted her, and then went back to Zhuangyuan Mansion.

"Ma'am, at noon, a lady came to visit and learned that you were not in the mansion, so she left and said she would come back tomorrow."

When entering the door, the old man at the porter came out and replied.

"Ma'am? Did you say which mansion's wife it is?"

Bai Yingluo paused.

If the befriended lady wanted to visit, she would either send a message in advance, or send the maid at home to say something. It was the first time that she came to the door without saying hello.

The old man shook his head, "The old slave stepped forward and asked which family it belonged to, but the lady sat in the carriage and didn't speak, but the driver gave the old slave a disdainful look, turned around and walked away Yes. The old slave was thinking that he might have found the wrong one, but the lady left a message saying that she would come back in the afternoon."

Bai Yingluo couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it and just waited for that person to come to the door the next day.

In the evening, Du Xuan came back from the Hanlin Academy, and said that the palace was very lively these past few days, not only the emperor specially ordered to welcome Princess Qingcheng, but even the concubines in all palaces hosted private banquets for Princess Qingcheng.

"Princess Qingcheng is coming back this time, is she going to live in the palace?"

Bai Yingluo asked casually.

Du Xuan shook his head, a bit of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face, "I heard that Princess Qingcheng even sent someone to the House of Internal Affairs to inquire about the Princess's Mansion, and I was a little surprised to learn that it has been changed into the Zhuangyuan's Mansion. "

With a pause in her heart, Bai Yingluo already knew who the lady who visited in the afternoon was.

Thinking that the next day was Du Xuan's rest day, Bai Yingluo suddenly became flustered.

It is hard to tell whether the rumors about Princess Qingcheng are true or false, but it was true that she had taken a fancy to Du Xuan in her previous life. Now, she has not found out the purpose of her return, and she has not thought about how to deal with her. Bai Yingluo does not want Du Xuan Xuan just appeared in front of her and caught her attention.

"Tomorrow, you go to Baijiazhuang to see your godfather and mother, okay?"

Bai Yingluo put on a happy smile and asked.

Mentioning the second elder of the Bai family, the expression on Du Xuan's face gradually became more natural, he hesitated for a moment, then he shook his head and said: "It's rare to have a day off, I want to stay with you at home."

As the end of the new year approaches, there are more errands in the Hanlin Academy. Every time Du Xuan comes back, it will be dark. After dinner with Bai Yingluo and a walk in the courtyard, he will go to the study to read a book and organize the compilation. It has been a long time since the two of them sat together and talked leisurely.

But Bai Yingluo was anxious to let Du Xuan avoid Princess Qingcheng.

"Since the last time the godmother went back, we haven't seen her and godfather for more than a month. Although the message sent back said that they are fine, there are also factors in it. Good to see. You go and see for yourself, they will be happy to see you. Next time when you have a rest, let's not go anywhere and stay in the mansion to enjoy the snow, okay?"

Bai Yingluo said softly.

Seeing that Bai Yingluo never pretended to be good to the second elder of the Bai family, Du Xuan was very happy in his heart, nodded in response, and said softly: "Then I will go early and return early."

It will take more than an hour to go to Baijiazhuang, even if it is a fast horse. When Du Xuan gets there, it will already be lunch time. Because of his temperament, every household in the village has to go to say hello, and he will not be able to come back until it is dark.

Bai Yingluo breathed a sigh of relief.

In the early morning of the second day, it was rare for Du Xuan not to sleep in late, and he got up when it was still dark.

After having breakfast together, Du Xuan took the gift prepared by Bai Yingluo and two servants to drive the carriage out of the city.

Bai Yingluo ordered the servants to clean up the inside and outside of the courtyard, even the leaves blown by the cold wind were swept out.

Just after noon, when the housekeeper came to deliver a message, Bai Yingluo didn't dare to delay, and took all the people in the house to welcome them out.

If it was really Princess Qingcheng, Du Xuan, as the master of the Zhuangyuan Mansion, would be punished if he didn't come to welcome her. Although Bai Yingluo was sure in her heart that it was her, when they met, she still showed a look of astonishment.

"My concubine has met Princess Qingcheng, and the princess is a thousand years old..."

Bai Yingluo bowed down and worshiped.

"Have you seen Ben Gong?"

Princess Qingcheng's cold voice sounded in front of her.

Bai Yingluo shook her head, "I just heard people say that the princess is all over the country, and no woman in the world can match her."

Everyone loves to hear compliments, and Princess Qingcheng is no exception. Her face, which was originally covered with a layer of frost, softened a little, "Mrs. Du, get back down."

"Thank you princess."

Bai Yingluo stood up, respectfully greeted Princess Qingcheng and walked towards Yixinyuan.

Walking from the gate all the way along the corridor and the vertical flower gate towards the second entrance, Princess Qingcheng's beautiful eyes looked around at the layout and scenery of each place, Bai Yingluo didn't dare to speak rashly to introduce, just followed behind, Remind her to go left or right from time to time.

After entering the courtyard of Yixin Pavilion, Princess Qingcheng stood inside the door and stopped.

"There used to be a plaque on the door of the main house, right?"

Princess Qingcheng asked aloud.

Startled for a moment, Bai Yingluo shook her head, "After the holy decree granted the house, the father-in-law of the House of Internal Affairs brought the palace servants to repair it for a period of time. After the concubine got married, only the courtyard and the meeting hall in the backyard were changed. The name, other places have not been changed without authorization."

Princess Qingcheng nodded, and turned to walk under the tree. At the side, Liusu hurriedly took out a soft cushion and spread it on the stone bench.

Princess Qingcheng just sat down as if no one else was there, and was in a daze.

A whole courtyard of people stood in the courtyard like stone sculptures. The situation was indescribably weird, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in Bai Yingluo's heart.

It is obvious that this is the first time Princess Qingcheng has entered here, but the layout of Yixinyuan seems to be familiar to her, as if she had lived in Yixinyuan before.

Startled by this thought, Bai Yingluo hurriedly came back to her senses, quietly looked at the woman in front of her, and waited for her question.

This is the first time Bai Yingluo has carefully looked at Princess Qingcheng.

It has to be said that Princess Qingcheng is very worthy of the title given to her by the late emperor.

At the age of 30, she looked as if she was only in her early twenties, despite the coldness she wore all over her body, her face and figure.

Skin like fat, black hair like ink, a pair of eyes, when you are happy, you can be charming or angry, when you are full of sorrow, you are very pitiful, as if you can talk, revealing infinite affection.

It can be seen that she likes simple and elegant colors very much. The last time I saw her in Kuhan Temple, she was wearing a white dress. Today, she is wearing an autumn-colored long dress, which still complements her slim figure. , have lost their beauty.

The most special thing is that she has no gold or silver jewelry on her body, except for a pair of bright green jadeite bracelets on her wrists, there is no pearls on her body, and even on her head, there is only a suet jade hairpin and a few Finely crushed pearl hairpins.

But even if she is so elegant, she can attract people's attention and make people unable to move their eyes away.

Such a woman, not to mention her noble background, has a face that makes all the women in the world jealous. If it were any other woman, she would be ashamed to see her, right?
There was some inexplicable feeling in her heart, and Bai Yingluo couldn't tell whether it was envy or something else.

In a daze, Princess Qingcheng sighed inaudibly.

When Bai Yingluo came back to her senses, Princess Qingcheng said softly: "I won't go into the house anymore, let me take me to the backyard for a walk."

"Yes."

Softly agreeing, Bai Yingluo looked at Tassel, and led Princess Qingcheng to the backyard. Behind her, Tassel and Liuying ordered the little maids to follow with cakes and tea fruits in an orderly manner.

A group of people walked very slowly, pavilions, pavilions, lotus ponds and rockeries, as if they wanted to engrave all of this in their hearts, Princess Qingcheng looked at it very seriously, and when she saw the Heartbroken Pavilion on the side of the stone steps in the backyard, Princess Qingcheng's face was light Change.

"Is this place originally called the Broken Intestine Pavilion?"

There was a little nervous tremor in the voice, Princess Qingcheng asked softly.

"Yes, it turned out to be that name."

After Bai Yingluo finished answering, Princess Qingcheng had already lightly lifted her skirt and walked up the stone steps towards the pavilion, but she turned around and told the servants who followed: "You are not allowed to follow."

Not knowing that the "you" she said didn't include herself, Bai Yingluo hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and then stepped up.

　It's already very fat, those who are waiting and watching, let's start slaughtering~~~
