Chapter 72
Early the next morning, Baili Yanqing went to Bitaoyuan again, but was stopped by the girl from Bitaoyuan, and did not see Cui Yingying.

Because of Baili Wenji's illness, Cui Yingying spared the greetings from the aunts, probably because she thought they were an eyesore, so she also spared the greetings from the children.

The news that Baili Yanqing is going to study in the palace next year has not been spread yet, it means that Baili Wenji's health is not good, and the master of Baili Mansion is also in a bad mood.

Baili Yanqing came out of Shou'an Hall and went to Zhuyuan. Among their great-granddaughters, except for Baili Yanjiao, none of them caught the old lady's eyes.

On the other side of the peony courtyard, Baili Yanyu was also raised by the eldest lady's side. Baili Yanqing went to the peony courtyard to pay her respects, and saw Baili Yanyu several times. Unlike the eldest lady's disgust, Baili Yanyu Every time she saw her, she would stare at her, Baili Yanqing was speechless.

If she could, she wouldn't want to greet Shou'an Hall, Peony Courtyard, and Bitao Courtyard, but the rules are like this, they don't want to see her, and she doesn't like to see them.

Also, when the Second Madam and Mrs. Chen knew that Baili Yanqing could enter the palace, they looked at Baili Yanqing with displeasure and defense, which made Baili Yanqing helpless. Kong and Baili Chenghui treated her better, and they didn't like to see her.

She doesn't expect everyone to like her, but it's fine if her stepmother doesn't like her, her great-grandmother ignores her and her grandmother hates her, and her second wife is not kind.Maybe it would be better to enter the palace, without having to face these people's displeased eyes every day. The old lady treated her well before, even if she didn't have Baili Yanjiao's love, she didn't dislike her either.But after Emperor Xia Hui let her enter the palace, the old lady didn't want to see her anymore, as if she felt that she had robbed Baili Yanjiao of her job.

"Qing'er is here." Baili Yanqing lowered her head and was thinking about something, when she heard a refined voice, she raised her head and smiled sweetly at the front, "Good morning, grandfather."

Seeing Baili Kong's court clothes, Baili Yanqing knew that Baili Kong had just returned from the palace, and immediately looked behind Baili Kong, she heard Baili Kong say:

"Your father is going to see your fourth brother. Let's go. Grandpa will take you to practice calligraphy today." Baili Kong immediately walked towards the bamboo garden with Baili Yanqing in his arms. Baili Yanqing was thrown in the air by Baili Kong Toss, laughing and giggling.

Different from Baili Chenghui, Baili Yanqing liked this grandfather very much. After taking off his heavy court clothes, Baili Kong was a clean and elegant middle-aged man, with a feeling of tranquility and far-reaching.

Male heirs are the inheritance of the family. It is normal and deeply rooted in this era to value boys over girls. No matter how important a daughter is, she must be married off. Male heirs are the foundation of the family blood.So even though Bailikong liked Baili Wenji and valued Baili Wenji, Baili Yanqing didn't hate her either. At least Bailikong didn't dislike her because of Baili Wenji and neglected her.

Baili Yanqing didn't want to compare Baili Wenji's importance in this Baili Mansion with Baili Wenji, which is incomparable, but if Baili Kong didn't like her because of Baili Wenji's birth, she would A little sad.

But it's just a little sad, for Baili Mansion, Baili Yanqing still doesn't have that deep affection, and even she was a daughter of the Yan family in her previous life, so her affection for Baili Mansion is even weaker.

But people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, people are emotional animals, and she will remember whoever treats her well.

"Practicing calligraphy requires concentration. Distraction is a taboo." Baili Kong slapped Baili Yanqing on the head seriously.

"Grandfather, Qing'er knows I was wrong." Baili Yanqing came back to her senses, and immediately admitted her mistake. Baili Kong is fine, but she still pays attention to and concentrates on her studies.

"Well, I will punish you for copying five big characters today, and hand them in tomorrow." Baili Kong nodded, seeing that Baili Yanqing had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, her face softened a bit.

Baili Yanqing stuck out her tongue, five big characters, it's okay.

"Grandfather is stricter with you for your own good. Next year you will enter the palace to enroll. No matter where you are in the palace, the Taifu will not show mercy to you like grandfather. And not only you, but also all the families next year." I will send a daughter-in-law to the palace to study with me, but compared to them, you are the emperor's favorite, so you have more weight. But my grandfather doesn't want you to be proud, it is precisely because you are the emperor's favorite, in front of everyone The daughters of the aristocratic families are outstanding, and the life in the palace will not be too peaceful in the future." Bailikong looked at the dexterous granddaughter, sighed softly, and just came back from the palace and learned that the emperor also asked each aristocratic family to choose a woman After entering the palace to study with him, Bailikong was a little worried.

Baili Yanqing was taken aback. Last night the emperor sent her to enter the palace to study, and today he let a group of women from aristocratic families enter the palace to accompany her to study. No wonder the second wife, Shen's and even the old lady looked at her with such displeasure. It was Shen who got the news from Empress Shen.

If she doesn't go, it must be Baili Yanjiao's turn, after all, among the prostitutes, she is about the same age as Baili Yanjiao.

"Grandfather, don't worry, my granddaughter will not disgrace Baili Mansion, nor will she do anything that damages the reputation of Baili Mansion." Baili Yanqing said looking at Baili Kong's worried expression.

"Entering the palace is not as easy as being at home. The rules in the palace are even stricter. And grandfather also found you a well-behaved nanny. In the past few months, you have to learn the rules from the nanny. After entering the palace , protecting yourself is the most important thing, don’t mind your own business.” Although there are still a few months left, Bailikong couldn’t help but remind him,
"There is still your aunt Tang Zhaoyi in the palace, you also met last night, and there is Yi Jieyu, that is your aunt, you can also find her if you need anything."

"I respect my grandfather's teachings, and my grandson will remember them in my heart." Baili Yanqing smiled, she was not afraid of entering the palace, and there were people and things she cared about in the palace, so she would not be alone.

Bailikong breathed a sigh of relief, and his depressed mood after returning from the palace slowly eased. There are few princes and daughters in the palace. Although it is an honor for the emperor to lift up a family daughter like this, it also has the same danger.

When a daughter of an aristocratic family enters the palace, she may marry the prince or a clan relative in the future, but she may also get married. Fortunately, Qing'er has a marriage contract, so Bailikong doesn't have to worry about this.

In the eyes of each family, there are mixed joys and sorrows for the daughters of aristocratic families to enter the palace with the princes and princesses. Now the princes are only the eldest prince and the third prince, and the eldest prince and the third prince have a special tutor to teach them. It is natural for a daughter of an aristocratic family to enter the palace. It was educated with the princesses.

In the Great Xia Kingdom, marriage is not only the task of the princess. Although the imperial power and the family guard the Great Xia Kingdom together, after all, the imperial power is supreme, and marriage is also the mission of the daughter of the family. It depends on who is the 'lucky' person.

"Grandpa is going to Muxiu tomorrow, so I will take you around the house." As soon as Baili Kong's words fell, Baili Yanqing became excited. When she came to Daxia Kingdom, she hadn't gone out to have a look. Every time she went out, It was also in the carriage and could not see outside.

"Grandfather is so kind." Baili Yanqing gave Baili Kong a big hug, which made the smile on Baili Kong's face much deeper.

In the early morning of the second day, Baili Kong took Baili Yanqing out, and all the courtyards soon found out, but Baili Yanqing was brought out by Baili Kong after all, so they couldn't say anything.But Baili Yanjiao wanted to go out to play after she knew about it, the old lady couldn't help blaming Baili Kong for making a bad move, and decided to bring the female family members of Baili Mansion to Baima Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha in early autumn.

"The Eldest Master is really partial, so he only takes the Eldest Miss, not the Eighth Miss." Mama Shi from Bitaoyuan complained, and hearing Cui Yingying's ears became even more disturbed.

Baili Wenji's health improved, Cui Yingying didn't dare to be careless, and took care of her son more carefully. Baili Yanyu was with the eldest lady, and Cui Yingying felt a little more relaxed. not good.

Especially in the morning when I heard that the emperor invited Baili Yanqing to enter the palace to study last night, Cui Yingying was annoyed again. If she had also entered the palace last night, how could such an accident happen.

But no matter how much she annoyed Baili Yanqing, Cui Yingying couldn't do anything about it. Whenever she thought about the affairs in the palace, Cui Yingying became very annoyed with Luyi.I didn't expect that Luyi was so useless, she failed to keep Baili Yanqing in the mansion, but instead let Baili Yanqing enter the palace not only to meet the emperor but also Tang Zhaoyi, and to be favored, it was really maddening.

Baili Yanqing who is out of the mansion is very happy, it can be said that the sky is high and the birds are flying, and the sea is wide and the fish are leaping.Baili Yanqing was dressed in the little men's clothes that Tang's mother and nanny brought out last night, dressed up as a handsome young lady, running and jumping around Baili Kong, very happy.

"Grandfather, there's a lot of food on the street. It's delicious." Baili Yanqing swallowed involuntarily. She was in poor health in her previous life, and she couldn't eat many things, let alone those folk snacks.

"Candied haws, sesame seed cakes, sauce-flavored cakes, fragrant tofu, stinky tofu, glutinous rice balls, pasta, dumplings, wontons, cakes, skewers..." Baili Yanqing read the words on the signboards as she walked, her eyes were shining brightly. .

Baili Kong looked at Baili Yanqing who was different from the past, the corners of her mouth twitched, it was so embarrassing, her granddaughter's nose was almost stuck on the cake.

"Ahem, Qinger, Baili Mansion is short of your food." Baili Kong said.

Baili Yanqing was pulled back to her senses by Bailikong, she shook her head, her big eyes flickered, and she asked in puzzlement: "No, isn't Qing fat and fat after eating for nothing? Why does grandfather ask you that?"

"Then don't glue your eyes to the food. If you are recognized by others, you will think that a starving ghost has appeared in Baili Mansion." Baili Kong lightly pinched Baili Yanqing's nose.

Baili Yanqing smiled, she really wanted to eat, she wanted to taste a little of everything.But when she first came out of the mansion, she had already eaten, and now her stomach is still full, wait a minute, her stomach is empty, she must taste everything.

If she could do it, and she was wearing men's clothing, Baili Yanqing didn't want to make herself a lady, or like in her previous life, she could only sit quietly and watch the children playing outside.She is only five years old now, so she should eat, drink and have fun, plus she is jumping and jumping, so she can be more free and lively.
