Glory all the way

Chapter 67 Slack

On the second day when she entered the palace again, Bai Yingluo told the sixth princess apologetically that her grandmother didn't want her to marry far away in Da'an, otherwise, there would be no one offering incense in front of her parents' graves during Chinese New Year.

Originally, he was thinking that Bai Yingluo's parents died young, and Bai Yingluo was lonely and helpless, and she would marry to Da'an with herself, and there would be nothing to be attached to, and they could take care of each other.

But Bai Yingluo's statement was not false at all. The sixth princess nodded and smiled, and said in a relieved way: "Yingluo, since you have made your decision, don't worry, I won't force it. I will tell the queen later that no matter what If I choose anyone, I will never choose you. However, Yingluo..."

The subject changed, the sixth princess stretched out her hand to hold Bai Yingluo's hand, and said softly: "No matter what happens, we are good sisters. In the future, no matter what difficulties you encounter, as long as you come to find me, I will definitely help you." You. If... if you have a bad time in the capital, come to Daan to find me, remember?"

Although there were still several months before the wedding, the sixth princess instructed Bai Yingluo in every detail. For a moment, Bai Yingluo's heart was filled with emotion.

"Princess, I have made a note, we will be good sisters forever."

Bai Yingluo nodded repeatedly in response.

Smiling without worry, the two of them left yesterday's depression behind, before and after class, they were as close as before.

A few days have passed since the Queen summoned everyone in Ninghua Palace, and many subtle changes have taken place in the classroom of Xinlan Pavilion.

First, Dou Xiuqiao took a few days off due to illness, and within a few days, Sun Yantong left a few days early on the grounds that her grandmother was unwell and had to wait on her side. After that, the other three ladies except Bai Yingluo, They also applied for a few days' leave under various guises.

By the time everyone gathers for class together, it will already be November, and the girls will not be as lively and cheerful as before. The familiar movements seem to be delayed due to illness, and they gradually fall behind.

At first, Bai Yingluo and Dou Xiuqiao were the ones who learned etiquette the best except for the six princesses, but now, Bai Yingluo is the only one who stands out. She thought that Dou Xiuqiao had a sickness and was not feeling well. People are also in the same situation, Bai Yingluo understood after thinking about it.

Whether it is illness or business, I am afraid that everyone has the same idea, to skip a few days of class, and then find an excuse for being behind.

As the Master said in public that day, at the end of the year, there will be other rewards for those who come out on top in the etiquette and talent examinations, and whether the reward that has not been explained, will be to marry the sixth princess and go to Da'an, everyone does not know, but It's not impossible.

Seeing that the haggard ladies were no longer as bright as they used to be, the masters all knew what they were doing, and the sixth princess had already noticed it. After the etiquette class this day, looking at the five people who went away together, The sixth princess said angrily: "I hate people who are so snobby..."

"Whatever they want, just let them go. Why is the princess angry because of them?"

Holding the hand of the Sixth Princess and walking towards the Yunrou Hall, Bai Yingluo coaxed her softly, until she entered the inner hall and saw the two hand stoves with the same pattern on the kang table, the Sixth Princess' expression turned slightly pale.

"It's getting colder and colder today. After a while, this hand stove will be useful. A few days ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent flowers to choose from. I chose this pair of moon flowers. We each have one, so don't lose it." ..."

Joyfully picked up one of the hand stoves and handed it to Bai Yingluo, the sixth princess's eyes were full of sly complacency.

The moon flower was engraved on the front of the copper stove, which was exactly the flower shape that Bai Yingluo imagined in the embroidery class that day. There were a few small bells on the lower end of the crescent moon, which was indescribably cute.

After taking out the brocade bag and putting it in, Bai Yingluo's heart was filled with warmth.

In the embroidery class in the afternoon, I still embroidered some things according to the prescribed stitches. After finishing the homework, Mrs. Skillful Hands left, and said that it would be handed in in the next class.

This is already a customary rule in the embroidery class. Therefore, as soon as the skillful lady left, the girls packed up their embroidery frames and waited to leave the palace to go home and finish their homework.

However, today, Dou Xiuqiao was not in a hurry to leave, instead she walked to the window and sat down.

Sun Yantong walked over and asked affectionately, "Sister Dou, are you not leaving?"

She glanced at Bai Yingluo first, then Dou Xiuqiao withdrew her gaze and said loudly: "My sister came to the palace to greet the Queen Mother and Empress Dowager. I will wait for her for a while and leave the palace together later. If sister Sun is in a hurry, go back first." Let's go to the palace, I will go out of the palace in a soft sedan chair with my sister."

Seeing that there was a reason for Dou Xiuqiao's delay, Sun Yantong said hello to each other and left the Xinlan Pavilion without further ado.

Bai Yingluo received the gaze from the sixth princess and put away her embroidery frame, and the two walked out of the main hall one after the other.

"Miss Dou is here, so Miss Fu and sister Mei must be here too, let's go and have a look."

The sixth princess took Bai Yingluo to Ninghua Palace.

When they arrived at Ninghua Palace, they only saw Dou Xiuzhu and Fu Shuyun, the young lady from the Fu family, Minister of Rites. The Sixth Princess' complexion changed slightly, but she calmly pulled Bai Yingluo to invite Ann and sat down in the first place.

After asking a few words, the queen signaled Dou Xiuzhu and Fu Shuyun to back down. Seeing that they turned around and left, the sixth princess asked with concern: "Queen, where is Sister Mei? Didn't she come into the palace with her?"

"Mei'er didn't learn the rules well enough, so she was left in Shoukang Palace, and she was guided by a well-educated nun."

the queen said softly.

She paused in her heart, thinking that the sixth princess once said that the Queen Mother didn't like Beining Bo's family, Bai Yingluo instantly understood that Lin Zhimei might be left in Shoukang Palace.

After all, the queen mother is also the most honorable woman in the palace besides the queen. Now, for a prince and side concubine, Bai Yingluo is a little puzzled, but this is also a matter of the palace. Small outsiders are unbearable.

Coming out of Ninghua Palace, Bai Yingluo greeted the sixth princess and went straight to the gate of the inner palace.

After walking a few steps, he ran into Lin Zhiyu head-on.

On Double Ten, I traveled with the sixth princess and met Lin Zhiyu. After that, Lin Zhiyu solved the troubles encountered by the two elders of the Bai family.

It has been nearly a month since that day, and Bai Yingluo has never met him again, but now that they meet him in the palace, Bai Yingluo feels a little embarrassed for no reason.

"I have seen Beining Bo Shizi..."

She bent down and saluted, and when Lin Zhiyu called out, Bai Yingluo stood up and sideways to get out of the way, but the person in front of her didn't move at all, but the young servant behind her ran a few steps away smartly.

"you……"

Wanting to ask her how she is doing these days, and feeling that such a topic is too vague/ambiguous, wanting to tell her that the second elder of the Bai family is doing well, but also afraid that she will feel that he might be inquiring about her privacy, Lin Zhiyu opened his mouth, and unexpectedly Feeling that there was no way to talk about it, for a while, the two of them just stood there in embarrassment.

"The prince is here to pick Miss Lin out of the palace, right?"

Seemingly feeling that Lin Zhiyu was looking at her, Bai Yingluo's face became hot, and she talked about his question from left to right.

After coughing lightly, Lin Zhiyu nodded, "Yes. Is she still in Ninghua Palace at the moment?"

"Yingluo came out of Ninghua Palace. Miss Lin was still in Shoukang Palace just now, but now she doesn't know where she is. Your son should go and have a look. Maybe Miss Lin is ready to leave the palace."

Pretending to be natural, Bai Yingluo leaned over to give Lin Zhi a blessing, and walked away from him in a panic.

Until they were all gone, Bai Yingluo was still a little puzzled, what was wrong with her being so guilty of avoiding him?
Back at Jing'an Hou's Mansion, there were two carriages parked in front of the gate, and the groom of He Mansion stood in front of the carriage respectfully, Bai Yingluo immediately knew that someone from He Mansion came to pick her up and returned home.

When they arrived at the Qing'an Hall, they saw Bai Yingqiao and her husband-in-law kneeling side by side to salute the old master Bai and the old lady Bai. Bai Yingqiao's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

"Husband and wife are going to grow old forever, a lifetime is so long, how can there be no quarrel? Just talk about it, go back and live a good life, but don't make any more noise, remember?"

Said in a kind voice, the old lady Bai glanced at Qiu Wen, asked her to help Bai Yingqiao up, and sent the two of them out the door. Behind them, the second lady looked worried.

"Grandmother, how did you solve it? Second brother-in-law's childhood sweetheart cousin, how do you plan to get into He's house?"

Everyone in the house dispersed, and Bai Yingluo snuggled up to Old Madam Bai curiously and asked.

Laughing, Old Madam Bai gave Bai Yingluo a resentful look and said, "The little girl is very curious."

After finishing speaking, the old lady Bai sighed, "That cousin, come in next month, good concubine."

Although she is a good concubine, if Bai Yingqiao has the ability, she can hold her body deed in her hands and let her handle it, but if she has no ability...

Thinking to herself, Bai Yingluo didn't say any more.

Entering the palace again on the second day, she entered the Xinlan Pavilion and saw Bai Yingluo. Seeing that her wife hadn't arrived yet, the sixth princess pulled her aside and said in a low voice, "Yesterday, the imperial grandmother kept sister Mei'er late. , the prince’s brothers all ran to Shoukang Palace, and were scolded by the emperor’s grandmother.”

Surprised, Bai Yingluo glanced back at the other five people, lowered her voice and asked, "What happened in the end?"

"The imperial grandmother said that Sister Mei is too lazy, and the nuns who were sent at the same time, Ms. Dou and Miss Fu, all learned the rules very well, but Sister Mae was the only one who did not learn well. Sister Mae didn't dare to say anything. She only said that she should practice hard after returning home, and the emperor's grandmother let her go out of the palace."

The sixth princess said helplessly.

"Yingluo, tell me, how should we help Sister Mei? Before she married into the palace, the imperial grandmother began to think of ways to deal with her. How can this be the future?"

Sighing lightly, the sixth princess pouted and muttered.

"Lazy? But now, we happen to have a group of lazy people in front of us. If the Empress Dowager finds out, will she punish Miss Lin as well?"

Thinking about it, Bai Yingluo blinked at Princess Six.

The sixth princess looked back at Dou Xiuqiao and the others, her eyes lit up.
