Zheng Xiangheng dipped his hand in ink and waved his pen. The prince and Qin Zongliang stood around to watch. The imperial concubine warmly greeted Lin Jinyan and others to sit down not far away:
"It takes some time to paint a picture, and you have to wait around. It's better to sit and drink tea and talk. Yuzhi, set up a table at the entrance of the courtyard, get some food, and let the three maids sit down and have a rest. It's close, miss. He can also listen to their orders."
After the Crown Princess finished speaking, Sun Lingxiu thanked her crisply, and Lin Jinyan and Wang Huizhao could only follow suit.
"Bai Zhi, the Crown Princess feels sorry for you, so you must abide by the rules and don't talk nonsense and run around to cause trouble for the Crown Princess."
After Bai Zhi heard this, a bright light flashed through her eyes quickly, and she showed a slightly naive signature smile:
"I remember, miss. Thank you, Crown Princess."
After saying this and bowing, she followed Yuzhi to the entrance of the courtyard. The imperial concubine looked at Bai Zhi's back and smiled:
"You're such a cute little girl, you won't cause any trouble."
Lin Jinyan sighed helplessly: "This girl is good at everything, but she is too heartless. That's why I let her follow me and watch all the time."
Sun Lingxiu: "Miss Lin obviously likes this girl, so she asked her to follow her. By the way, Hong Jiu next to you, why didn't you follow today?"
Lin Jinyan smiled and said: "Miss Qi gave me a box of incense yesterday. Miss Sun was there at the time. Miss Qi said that the incense was extremely rare. I lit it yesterday evening. It smelled really good."
Sun Lingxiu: "Yes, Miss Qi said that the incense comes from Pingnan and is very precious."
"Who knows, not long after I ordered it, Miss Qi sent someone to tell the concierge last night that she gave the incense to someone else, and she accidentally took the wrong one. She said it had medicinal properties and told me not to use it yet. Give it to me today. Get the right one."
The Crown Princess: "Qi Yan has always been careful, but he still made such a mistake."
Lin Jinyan: "As the saying goes, there is still a gap in the hundred secrets. The servant must have been careless in packing. I thought that I still have an appointment with the Crown Princess today, and I didn't want to bother Miss Qi with an empty trip, so I asked Hong Jiu to go to Qi. The house is still fragrant."
Wang Huizhao held the teacup and listened with a smile on her face. Her eyes wandered around the three of them, and finally paused slightly on Lin Jinyan.
Yuzhi arranged for his servants to set up the table, served some cakes and tea, and invited Bai Zhi and others to sit down.
After Bai Zhi sat down, she looked over the courtyard door and saw Lin Jinyan. She picked up the cakes on the table with confidence and narrowed her eyes with satisfaction after taking a bite.
When Yuzhi saw this, he couldn't help but look relaxed:
Fortunately, she is just a greedy and silly girl...
"Your name is Bai Zhi? The food looks delicious and makes me hungry."
Bai Zhi wrapped a mouthful of pastries, moved to the side with a smile, and patted the empty stool:
"Sister Yuzhi, no one saw this, it doesn't matter if you try it."
Yuzhi looked excited and looked inside. He saw that the masters were all talking. He sat next to Bai Zhi and chatted with a few people while eating.
Yuzhi looked at a plate of untouched snacks, picked up one and nibbled on it:
"This is delicious. Try it, Angelica dahurica."
After Bai Zhi tasted it, she was satisfied at first and then started to frown:
"Sister Yuzhi, this snack is fragrant, but a little salty."
"Although it's a bit salty, it's delicious. You can't eat it outside. If you're worried about the saltiness, drink more water. I'll just take you to Huxuan."
After hearing this, Bai Zhi felt that it made sense, filled herself up with tea, and ate and drank the cakes.
