Baitao didn't know why she paid attention to him.
He scratched Ying Zheng's palm, meaning to ask. Ying Zheng had a tacit understanding with her, and wrapped his big hand around her palm, Baitao said, "My name is Baitao."
"Baitao?" Ba Qing said, "The Bai family is rare, but she has the same appearance as this rare sister."
Baitao was so good at complimenting others that he almost felt embarrassed by the compliments.
Ba Qing turned his attention to Ying Zheng and then touched Meng Yi and Meng Tian. "It's already midnight. If these gentlemen continue to walk at night, they will be wasting such a delicate beauty. They wouldn't be better off at my Changletian Inn. Stay here for the night, don't worry, I'll treat you to my old sister, just treat it as an acquaintance."
Baitao thought to herself that my fox has rough skin and thick flesh, so she is not a delicate beauty.
Just when she was about to refuse, Ying Zheng's palm pressed against the back of her hand, and she rolled her tongue and said, "Okay."
Follow Ba Qing into the colorful and colorful lobby. The Hu girls in the lobby are dancing enthusiastically. They have long emerald sleeves, half-naked tops, armbands with beaded jewelry, hairbands, and accessories that flutter with the strong movements. Rao.
"color!"
"Big color! Color! Color!"
It was already midnight, but the nobles inside were still drunk, shouting and applauding. Therefore, several people who had seen King Qin did not recognize him.
That's right, King Qin couldn't stay in the palace, so why would he go to Xianyang City Inn to have fun at night.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
"Wow——"
The sliding wooden door blocked the hustle and bustle outside, and also blocked the prying eyes of an old scholar in the lobby.
Ba Qing held a wind lantern and twisted his waist to lead the way.
Here, the corridors and roads are connected, and the halls and rooms are continuous.
There is an elegant home hidden in the shadows in front of them. The cobblestones on the ground are round and shimmering. The dream and ethereal place in the river valley swept Baitao Yingzheng and his party over in an instant.
Baitao often went out of the palace, but he had seen all kinds of inns, so he asked: "Sister, your inn is different from others."
Ba Qing looked back and smiled sweetly: "Of course they are different. If they are the same, there are so many tycoons stationed in Xianyang City, how can there be a place for a widow like me?"
Baitao also said: "My sister is still smart."
"That is."
After not walking for long, a woman ran out from the corridor next to him.
The woman was a blond-haired, blue-eyed man. She was wearing a tulle dress that could not be hung up, and had two long and thick whips on her head.
She threw herself into the arms of Ba Qing, who was still walking, and cried, "Good sister, where have you been? Let me wait."
Ba Qing almost staggered and said, "There are some tourists here, so please keep your voice down."
"no."
Hu Nu acted coquettishly with tears in her eyes. When she saw the people next to her, especially Baitao, who had a prominent face, her expression changed several times under the moonlight. She pointed at Baitao and said to her: "I didn't have to look at you for long, Sister Qing." ,who is she?!"
Ba Qing's eyes wandered: "I know you on the street."
"I know you on the street. If you meet Sister Qing on the street, take her home." Hu Nu wanted to complain but said, "I don't know anything about her, not to mention that this sister has a good friend!"
Baitao: "."
No, this scene seems to overlap with the scene of catching women that I saw before?
Baitao quickly explained: "No, I'm not a bad person, I won't do anything, and this is not me."
Before he could finish speaking, a big hand grabbed hold of her slender waist, and Ying Zheng arrogantly declared his ownership, "I am her lover."
Baitao thought this was a strange thing to say, but she didn't think about refuting it. Anyway, it was a good relationship, so it wasn't a big deal.
Hu Nu went to see Ba Qing and found that she didn't express any opinion towards him at all. She stamped her foot and left crying.
Ba Qing said with a smile: "This is the Hu girl I bought. She was spoiled by me. Because of her beauty, her eyes grew to her head. But it's okay. When she sees there are people outside the mountain, she should do it." Wake up and wake up."
Baitao didn’t know what to say.
Well, it seemed a bit embarrassing, so I could only say: "Oh."
The silver toad is bright, the jade leakage is long, and there is no sound for a while under the moonlight.
Ba Qing lights the copper lamp.
Illuminating this house, the floor is paved with white jade, the walls go up to the roof, and there are ebony bookshelves next to it, and the house is filled with joy and bright light.
Baitao was shocked by this luxurious inn, "Sister, how come your inn is so rich and luxurious? If it is destroyed by guests, wouldn't it be a loss?"
"Losing money means losing money." Ba Qing didn't care much, "I, a widow, can open such an inn, but it's thanks to the good husband's family I married who died young, and left me a wealth of money and silver that I can't squander. I don’t have to serve my husband, but I can enjoy such wealth and leisure, so I’m afraid of losing this little bit of capital.”
That makes sense.
"Sister, how are you? Can I marry your sister?" Ba Qing gave her two charming looks.
Baitao opened her lips and said, "It's a good marriage."
"So, choosing a husband's family is like running a business. There are connections everywhere."
Ba Qing glanced at the cold-faced Ying Zheng and said, "Sister, I'm telling you, you must never choose those houses with a lot of obstacles. You can get yourself killed just by making a fuss. By the way, good sister. , in your good years now, have you chosen your husband’s family?”
Baitao shook his head: "I haven't chosen my husband's family yet."
She is not a mortal woman, and she doesn't necessarily know what kind of husband the fox will choose.
"That's great. It just so happens that you will visit my sister often in the future, and my sister can also teach you how to choose your husband's family. For this woman, choosing your husband's family is a lifelong matter. If you marry well, you can reach the sky in one step."
Ba Qing's eyes were shining, and he was about to take Baitao's little hand, but he was blocked by Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng's eight-foot-six-inch height and cold aura frightened Ba Qing.
She took two steps back, fanned herself with a handkerchief, "Actually, it's up to you to choose, it doesn't matter, it's all good."
Ying Zheng interrupted her and said coldly: "Bashu is rich in natural cinnabar, but it is controlled by the low-key Ba family."
Ba Qing's face changed slightly.
"On the surface, the Ba family only does small businesses such as jewelry, cars, boats, inns, and silk. In fact, privately, it has monopolized the supply of cinnabar to various countries and has taken over major trading companies."
Ba Qing was horrified: "Your Excellency..."
His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his thin lips continued to speak softly, "The leader of the Ba tribe is called Ba Qing. He has become rich by monopolizing cinnabar, but if he wants to assume the position of leader, he has to remain a widow and marry another man."
Ba Qing broke into a cold sweat, "This is the secret of the Ba family, Your Excellency. Who are you?"
"There is no airtight wall under the sky."
Ying Zheng would not attack the wealthy businessmen stationed in Qin. Seeing that his suspicion was confirmed, he left with Baitao.
Meng Yi and Meng Tian looked back at Ba Qing, who was extremely nervous, holding his sword, and quickly followed him.
Meng Yi muttered, "Why do you think this Ba Qing woman wanted to stop the girl in Junshang's arms? What are the benefits of doing so?"
Meng Tian didn't understand either, but he pretended to understand even if he didn't understand, "You know nothing!"
*
It was already dawn when I ran back to Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zheng carried the sleeping Baitao into the bedroom, gently placed Baitao on the couch and tucked him into the quilt.
After placing a kiss on her plump forehead, she turned around and went to change into her robe and go to court.
Baitao stayed up all night, and found that as soon as he touched the soft bed, the whole fox seemed to be sealed, his mind was numb, and he couldn't even move at all.
Just like that, I slept until the afternoon.
In the afternoon, King Qin will deal with political affairs. He will summon various ministers to discuss political affairs.
Baitao knew he wouldn't come.
Then Rui'er wiped her face and hands in a daze. After washing and changing clothes, she directly found an excuse to get rid of all the maids, and climbed out from the wall of the back garden.
The harem here only houses the Queen Mother, Mrs. Han, the Queen Mother Huayang and a few concubines of King Qin Xiaowen.
It's quite refreshing and cold.
Especially the Queen Mother's palace, where servants used to shuttle constantly, was like being brushed through layers of sticky
It was like sticky water, covered with moss.
It had been more than half a year since Baitao last paid homage to Aunt Zhao. Later, Zhao Ji wrote a bamboo note directly telling Baitao not to come. Unexpectedly, they hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and the place was already so withered that it was depressing.
Bai Tao stared at it for several times without blinking.
After confirming that there was really no one, she directly approached the demon-filled palace.
"Where's the Queen Mother?"
Baitao saw a palace maid coming out of the side door and quickly asked. The palace maid bowed and replied, "My master, the Queen Mother is in the palace."
Baitao asked again, "Is the Queen Mother okay?"
"Your Majesty is looking good now," the palace maid said.
Baitao was a little suspicious, but she couldn't find out anything, so she had no choice but to let the palace maid go first.
I was thinking about something while walking, but I never thought that when I reached a corner, I bumped into someone without paying attention.
"Ouch!"
The person who came was twelve or thirteen years old. He was wearing a black official robe. He fell on all fours and looked like a tortoise with his lid turned upside down.
Half of his face fell to the ground, and the mountain crown on his head and the white pen beside his ears fell to the ground.
He cursed: "Who, who has no eyes, can't walk? I am really convinced."
Baitao didn't fall, but after all he sneaked into the goblin's palace, he felt very guilty, "Can you please keep your voice down?"
No, this is the harem. How can he, an official from the former dynasty, come to the harem?
Like a fox stepping on someone's tail, Baitao reacted and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter that you are short, but you are so brave that you even dare to break into King Qin's harem. Why don't you leave quickly and just talk nonsense here?" What to do?"
"I'm only twelve years old, so I broke into the harem. What's wrong with me? I'm lost."
The young man's face was bright and clear. He stood up and patted the dust on his robe and said, "And you, the palace maid in which room, this is not the place you should be. Be careful. You won't have time to cry if you lose your life. Go, go, go, I will forgive you for your disrespectful words, please leave quickly."
Baitao shouted angrily: "Bah! Why am I still here? I am a twelve-year-old impostor who steals adults' clothes. If you know what I am doing, you should leave quickly, or I won't ask someone to arrest you."
"Why do you think the palace maid is so angry?"
The young man crossed his arms and said, "You came from Madam Huayang's palace? If you have the ability, ask Madam Huayang to arrest me. I'm telling you, although Madam Huayang has great power, she can't control the affairs of the previous dynasty." .”
Both sides wanted to drive the other away, and the situation was somewhat tense for a while.
Baitao was afraid of disturbing the grass, so she impatiently pulled the jade pendant of the King of Qin around her waist and showed it: "Seeing the jade pendant is like seeing the King of Qin, why don't you leave quickly?"
"Prince Qin's jade pendant, real or fake." The young man came over to take a look, and suddenly looked straight at her with his inked eyes, "You are not a human being!"
"you are not human!"
Almost at the same time, Baitao also said this. When he got closer, he realized that neither of them had any personality at all. Baitao asked warily, "Are you a goblin or a ghost?"
Thanks for the tiring reward, thank you!
