Bai Lingyue didn't know that it was hard to eat with the prince, but she had to do it. It would be great if Mr. Bu Ran could come with her.
"Taotao, maybe Mr. Buran will come during dinner later. With him, it won't be awkward." Bai Lingyue whispered to Xiao Taohong.
Xiao Taohong thought for a while and felt that the eldest lady was right. Although Mr. Bu Ran was also bohemian, he was very protective of the lady. With him around, he should be able to harmonize the atmosphere at the dinner table.
"Okay, it just so happens that we also want to thank Mr. Buran." Xiao Taohong came to the Regent's Mansion several times to find Mr. Buran, but everyone came forward to help, but she still didn't thank him properly.
So the master and servant came to the flower hall under the leadership of Xiao Fei...
This is a real flower hall! The hall was filled with all kinds of flowers, and there were many varieties of plum trees that Bai Lingyue had never seen before.
"Wow, I didn't expect the regent to be so elegant and plant so many beautiful flowers." Bai Lingyue was really shocked.
Xiao Mingxian's reputation in the Jin Dynasty was very bad. Legend has it that he was a traitorous minister who did all kinds of evil. People overlooked that he was an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, and he was top-notch in both aspects.
"Miss Bai, our regent was once the first civil and military scholar appointed by the late emperor." At this time, Xiao Fei felt that he should clear his master's name.
Only then did Bai Lingyue realize that she had indeed forgotten this.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she could only change the topic.
"Xiao Fei, when will Mr. Buran come back today?"
"Young Master Buran has gone to do something for the prince. I can't say when he will come back." Xiao Fei said.
As she was talking, Bai Lingyue smelled the aroma of rice, and she could smell the smell of Babao duck, sweet and sour pork ribs, and spicy chicken... These are all her favorite foods. vegetable.
"Miss Bai, the prince said, please move to the dining room." A guard came over, saluted Bai Lingyue, and said.
"Then Master Buran is back?" Bai Lingyue asked.
The guard shook his head.
The luck that Bai Lingyue had in her heart just now was gone. Why did Xiao Taohong meet Mr. Buran every time she came, but she never met him twice?
She bravely went to the dining room. At this time, Xiao Mingxian had already changed into black house clothes and was sitting at the main seat waiting for her.
"Your Majesty." Bai Lingyue saluted Xiao Mingxian.
"Sit." Xiao Mingxian said lightly, and then a servant came up to serve him rice and dishes.
Bai Lingyue was holding a full bowl of rice and frowned. When could she eat such a big bowl of rice? But in other people's homes, the rice was already served. Wouldn't it be rude not to finish it? So she was very confused.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Mingxian had already started eating and asked casually when he saw Bai Lingyue holding her rice bowl in a daze.
"It's too much, I can't eat it." Bai Lingyue looked at Xiao Mingxian with watery eyes, with a helpless expression on her face.
"Too much?" Xiao Mingxian looked at his big bowl, which was twice as big as Bai Lingyue's. The white rice in the bowl was piled high.
"Your Majesty, I am a woman, and no ordinary man can compare with me, let alone you, Your Majesty!" Bai Lingyue hurriedly flattered Xiao Mingxian.
Xiao Mingxian thought for a while and didn't understand. He had never eaten with a woman and didn't know what her appetite was.
"Then give it to me!" Xiao Mingxian took a few more mouthfuls of rice, then handed the bowl over and asked Bai Lingyue to give him some rice.
Bai Lingyue hurriedly put half of the rice in Xiao Mingxian's bowl and then started to eat.
Xiao Mingxian saw that the little food she had was not enough to fill his teeth. No wonder she was so thin, she was just a picky eater.
"Miss Bai, your engagement has been annulled by His Highness the Crown Prince. Do you have any thoughts now? This king can make the decision for you." Xiao Mingxian suddenly thought of this matter while eating.
In ancient times, when a woman's engagement was annulled, it would have a great impact. Even if she was not at fault, people would put the blame on the woman.
"Your Majesty, my daughter is fine, and she is not planning to get married. How can a man make money? From now on, my daughter will rely on the prince. We can make a lot of money and then enjoy life."
When it comes to getting married, Bai Lingyue has no such idea. She finally got rid of the prince's marriage. She will not find another cage to trap herself.
After Bai Lingyue said those words with lively eyebrows, she didn't notice that the man opposite had a bad look on her face, but Bai Lingyue really couldn't tell because he was wearing a mask.
When Bai Lingyue said this, she thought that the regent had a broken sleeve, and he and Young Master Buran would definitely not be able to get married, so she said it very boldly.
"Miss Bai, it was me who rescued you from the lake. If you need me to be responsible..."
Xiao Mingxian couldn't help it anymore. He decided to remind Bai Lingyue. Especially that night, didn't she want to be responsible for everything she did to him?
"No, no, no, no, no, no, my lord, it was thanks to your help that day that my daughter's engagement was annulled. My daughter didn't want to..." After saying this, why did Bai Lingyue feel a little cold around her?
"Your Majesty, I actually don't want to marry the prince." Bai Lingyue said in a different way that she didn't want to marry. She didn't even want to marry the prince, and she looked down upon other people.
"Why?" Xiao Mingxian asked.
"Your Majesty, although His Highness the Crown Prince is your nephew, I have to say that the Crown Prince is a scumbag."
Bai Lingyue's soul has learned the word "scumbag" after hearing it too much in modern times.
"A woman will marry after all." Xiao Mingxian said again, why can't the girl in front of him look very smart but not understand what he says?
"Your Majesty, if a woman can support herself, why should she find a man to take care of her? Does my daughter think her life is too long? Find a man to make her angry?
Maybe after getting engaged, fighting with those women every day is not worth it for such a stick. "
After Bai Lingyue finished speaking, Xiao Mingxian almost spat out a mouthful of soup. What a girl who had just grown hair had said something like a tiger or a wolf.
He stopped talking and kept his head down while eating. Bai Lingyue gradually lost her fear of him because she had talked so much with the regent. The meal was actually very harmonious.
After eating, Xiao Fei prepared the carriage. Xiao Mingxian and Bai Lingyue got into the carriage and sped towards the green mountain cave that Bai Lingyue mentioned.
Xiao Mingxian's carriage was really luxurious. The food and drinks inside were all the best, and the soft cushions were very comfortable to lean on. Bai Lingyue felt sleepy before she knew it, and her head moved slowly. There is no stable place to rely on.
Xiao Mingxian calmly sat next to her, stretched out his slender fingers to put her head on his shoulder, then picked up the book on the table and started reading.
