Zu An didn't know that a crisis was coming. He was feeling inexplicable at this time because he had just entered the inner hall and was lamenting that every time he saw the Crown Princess, she always had such exquisite makeup, bright and noble, but in the end he received A series of anger points.
The anger value from Bi Linglong is +33+33+33...
Although it is not large in numerical terms, it cannot be sustained and continues non-stop.
He really wanted to ask what exactly Bi Linglong was angry about, but there were still maids serving in the inner hall, so it was hard to ask.
"I've met the Crown Princess!" Zu An saluted.
"Master Zu, no courtesy." Bi Linglong stretched out her hand to support her, her expression and body language were no different from usual.
The anger value from Bi Linglong is +33+33+33...
except this!
Zu An was even thinking, could it be that she knew about my overnight stay at Sang's house yesterday?
What followed was a very formulaic speech. Bi Linglong praised him for his great contribution to the mission to Yunzhong County, and at the same time expressed sympathy and condolences for the mission's death in Cancheng.
Zu An naturally expressed his gratitude. The whole process was like an assembly line. Both of them knew that it was not nutritious, but it must be the same in front of others.
After a while, Bi Linglong asked about Zu An's situation in the demon clan. When Zu An was about to answer, she stopped him first, and then asked her personal maid Rong Mo to take others outside to guard.
Rong Mo's little mouth was so open that it could hang a kettle. Of course she knew that the Crown Princess and Zu An had some confidential matters to discuss, and it was not convenient for the servants to hear.
But she's just an ordinary palace maid, and now she has to be avoided?
Before Zu An came, she was the Crown Princess's most trusted person, and the other party basically hid nothing from her, but now he avoided her in many things.
Is this guy Zu An here to compete with me for favor?
Although he felt unhappy, he did not dare to disobey the Crown Princess. He led the other palace maids to retreat outside and guarded them through the bead curtain. There were palace rules in the palace, and they did not dare to completely let the Crown Princess and a foreign man go. Be alone in a room.
But the distance was enough for the two people inside. Zu An turned his back to the outside and smiled at Bi Linglong: "What are you angry about?"
"I'm not angry. How could you have seen that I was angry?" Bi Linglong said coldly.
The anger value from Bi Linglong is +51+51+51...
Zu An laughed dumbly: "Every eye saw it."
Bi Linglong's expression froze and she was silent for a long time, then she said: "You have been in the mission for so long, why have you never written to me?"
Zu An suddenly realized that it was because of this.
"You are the Crown Princess after all. Wouldn't it hurt you to write to you?"
Bi Linglong frowned and said: "I didn't ask you to write me a private letter, even if it was an official letter, tell me more about what you saw and heard along the way, I can feel your thoughts, but except for one time at the beginning, you did it again later. I didn't write to the East Palace either." "It's mainly because I encountered too many things along the way and I didn't have time to write a letter." Zu An took a breath and said that he really forgot about it later.
"Oh, then please tell me, Mr. Zu, what kind of big things happened along the way, so that you can't write a letter even if you have everything to do." Bi Linglong sneered.
"I don't know Li Wanji..." Zu Anxin thought that the little girl was so cute even if she had a tantrum, so she didn't mind and directly started to talk about all the things that happened along the way.
Although Bi Linglong had already known what happened to the mission from various intelligence and official documents, she was unknowingly drawn in after hearing him tell many details that she had not heard before.
When he heard about some dangerous situations, he was so nervous that he exclaimed again and again, and there was no time left to get angry.
"By the way, these are some gadgets I brought specially for you." As Zu An spoke, he took out some small gifts from the glazed orbs. They were not too precious. After all, the other party is a princess, so what kind of treasures are there? Bao has never seen it. But these gadgets are distinctive enough, and almost all of them are closely related to the local customs.
As expected, a smile appeared on Bi Linglong's originally stern face. She was picking and choosing among the small gifts, asking where each one came from and what humanistic legends there were. Zu An answered them one by one, glad that she was really prepared. , otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to make the grade this time.
After a while, Bi Linglong picked up several beautiful brocade boxes: "Hey, is this rouge and gouache?"
"Yes, this is produced by the most famous rouge in Yunzhong County. It is very popular there, and the style is different from that in the capital." Zu An replied. He bought ten sets at once, but ended up giving it away. I tried it several times but by chance I didn't give it away. So far I gave it to Tang Tian'er from Xiaoyao Tower.
"You're a grown man who knows so much about rouge and gouache? I'm afraid some confidante was there to help you choose?" Bi Linglong looked at him with a suspicious look on her face.
Zu An thought that this rouge was really evil, and there would be trouble every time it was delivered, but he reacted quickly and immediately explained: "Of course I don't understand, so I asked the store to give me the whole set."
Bi Linglong felt relieved, opened a few bottles, smelled them, and commented: "It is indeed very different from the style here in the capital. It has a different kind of exotic style. It's a pity that I can't use it."
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"Why?" Zu An was stunned. Should he consider throwing away all the cosmetics from Rouge Kou? Why can't they all be sent out?
"As a Crown Princess, all the things I use every day are subject to detailed quotas in the palace. Suddenly I used a rouge and gouache that I have never used before. I couldn't hide it from the maids around me. I can't say it was this at that time. You brought it to me from Yunzhong County." Bi Linglong sighed quietly.
Zu An thought so. It was reasonable for her husband to give other gifts to the princess, but the rouge and gouache was indeed too ambiguous.
"I didn't think well, so I took these back." Zu An thought about throwing them away when he went out. These things were simply poisonous and he couldn't give them away every time.
Who knew that Bi Linglong snatched it away: "Who said I don't want it? Even if it can't be used publicly, it's still good to keep it as a souvenir."
Seeing this, Zu An couldn't help but smile. The little girl was afraid that he would be disappointed, but she could be so considerate. "By the way, what happened in the unknown land?" Bi Linglong pretended to ask casually, but she was very nervous in her heart. After all, the aura of the unknown land was too heavy. To a certain extent, it could be said to be extremely confidential information. At present, only the emperor is qualified to know.
Zu An didn't hesitate at all and just gave her to him. Of course, he omitted some of the interactions between himself and those confidants.
Seeing that he did not disappoint her, her eyes suddenly curved like crescent moons.
…
After an hour like this, although Bi Linglong was a little reluctant, she still had no choice but to let him go. After all, letting a foreign man match her for so long was already the limit.
Not long after Zu An came out of the East Palace, he suddenly stopped and said, "Since the White Concubine is here, why don't you come out to meet her."
At this time, a weak figure flashed out from behind the rockery. Her slender eyebrows were extremely graceful, her small nose, and her small cherry mouth made her look like a small white flower in the cold wind, with a delicate and timid temperament.
"How did you know it was me?" Concubine Bai's voice was extremely soft, and her face was quite surprised. After all, she had a special concealment method. Although she didn't use it specifically just now, she wouldn't be seen through immediately.
Zu An smiled slightly and said, "It's hard not to smell the unique fragrance of the Empress, which is like a flower fairy."
"Master Zu is really bold." Concubine Bai's face turned slightly red. Of course she didn't believe that the other party identified her through scent. The other party said this just to tease her deliberately.
"It's unfair. The sachet your concubine gave me last time was of great help to me. I can't even thank you enough. How dare I be bold to you." The other party's sachet was very useful for hiding his cultivation realm. It helped him a lot at first, but of course now His situation no longer required it, but thanks were still due. He was thinking about whether to give him a set of rouge cosmetics as well.
Concubine Bai pursed her lips and smiled, obviously used to his speaking style: "We will talk about other things later. I came to you this time for an important matter. Did you offend Eunuch Wen in some way?"
"Eunuch Wen?" Zu An was startled, "No, why do you ask that?"
"I accidentally discovered that he seemed to be looking for someone to investigate you, and he seemed to be watching you not far away just now. I deliberately went to him to delay for a while, and I don't know if I was of any help." Concubine Bai looked at him. His eyes were a little playful, as if he was worried, but also as if he was watching a show.
Zu An's heart trembled. Although she spoke lightly, she could learn about Eunuch Wen's movements. This woman did not seem to be as weak and helpless as she appeared.
But the key is why Eunuch Wen would spy on himself?
I am still not very familiar with the palace. I can't remember the appearance of some of the young eunuchs. Even if I find them around, I won't think much about them.
Eunuch Wen often met him in the palace, so even though he had felt his presence nearby before, he didn't feel anything unusual. Now that Concubine Bai reminded him, he realized something was wrong.
