The carriage slowly headed towards Dongling Palace. Xia Yunxian had already sorted out her mood. She knew that her and Jiang Ruyan's lives would take a completely different trajectory.
And this opportunity that she has been waiting for two lifetimes must be firmly grasped in her hands!
Unexpectedly, the carriage suddenly jolted, and a gust of cold wind blew by. The familiar figure that suddenly broke into his sight suddenly shook Xia Yunxian's eyes.
Bai Yujing looked up and saw the equally astonished woman in the car. She couldn't help but cursed, "Damn it, why is it you?!"
"..." Xia Yunxian frowned immediately, and the great ambition that had just been ignited in his heart seemed to have been poured cold water on his head.
She also wanted to curse.
Bai Yujing's hand still maintained the gesture of lifting the curtain. He wanted to exit, but after hearing the footsteps approaching quickly, he could only change his mind. He got in with a calm and handsome face and sat next to Xia Yunxian.
"go out!"
The carriage had already entered the palace gate and was about to arrive at the teaching hall. There would be a routine inspection soon. She didn't want to be caught on the spot with Bai Yujing.
She was tired of explaining this kind of thing.
"It's all your fault. Why are you here so late? Do you think that just because you won the first place in this assessment, you can show off?" Bai Yujing simply raised his hands and put them on his arms, and leaned against the car wall angrily. He stared at Xia Yunxian dissatisfiedly.
He entered the palace early in the morning to wait for her, but he never thought that this girl would waste time.
"If I had known I would meet you today, I should have asked for leave." Xia Yunxian immediately noticed Bai Yujing's eyes scanning the outside of the car warily. She immediately understood something, "Who are you hiding from?"
This lingering guy, don’t drag her into the water again!
"Princess, I still haven't found Master Bai."
A strong voice outside the car immediately attracted Xia Yunxian's attention. Her eyes immediately became colder, and she looked up and down at the guilty man with suspicious eyes.
She immediately remembered that in the previous life, he seemed to have an unclear relationship with the emperor's favorite princess. Looking at the current scene, they were almost inseparable.
"Wait a minute, there's a carriage ahead that we haven't searched yet."
Xia Yunxian's hand was suddenly held tightly by Bai Yujing, and the culprit actually raised a bright smile, "Shall I help you jump out of the car?"
What is he kidding about? !
If Xia Yunxian hadn't been able to defeat him, I really wanted to kick him out at this moment!
Seeing the group of searching guards heading straight towards the carriage, at the critical moment, they heard Xiao Wu's voice coming from the other direction, "Sir, wait for me!"
"That's Lord Bai's bodyguard, hurry up, chase him!"
It wasn't until the noise gradually faded away that Bai Yujing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sincerely, "Fortunately, that boy is smart, otherwise, I'm afraid I will be beaten by the emperor again."
Seeing Xia Yunxian looking over, he touched his nose with his slender index finger, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"My lord, didn't you tell the old princess that only a noble princess is worthy of you? What are you hiding from now?"
Xia Yunxian smiled coldly, and Bai Yujing suddenly came over with a handsome face, looking at her with a playful smile, "Are you unhappy?"
If she is unhappy, then he is happy!
"For the sake of some ungrateful girl, I pushed the noble princess out to have a kiss. Do you think I should hide?"
Princess Yinghua wants to get married?
Xia Yunxian's eyes flashed, and she knew that Xiliang Kingdom had proposed to establish a marriage alliance with Dongling more than once, and the emperor also had this intention.
But in the last life, there was someone else who got married, and that princess's end was not good.
Xia Yunxian didn't know that this time it was Bai Yujing who used some tricks to deliver the princess's portrait to the prince of Xiliang. The prince was very satisfied.
In the letter, the prince said without hesitation that he had admired Princess Yinghua for a long time, and also put forward many conditions that made the emperor's heart flutter. It can be said that he was sincere.
On one side is Xiliang, which has grown stronger in recent years, the emperor's biggest concern, and on the other side is the apple of his eye. The choice between left and right seems to be another fierce game.
Xia Yunxian listened quietly, but Bai Yujing changed the subject, "It's just that I don't know who gave her advice and asked her to make a bet with the emperor. If she can be retained by the training hall, she will find another family member. "
The Prince of Xiliang said that he would not marry anyone other than Princess Yinghua. The matter of marriage was not a piece of cake. The Emperor originally had a better candidate, and the concubine behind the princess was obstructing him in every possible way. After thinking for a long time, the Emperor agreed to give such a chance. .
"If you meet Yinghua in the teaching hall, you must avoid her sharp edges and don't provoke her."
That was the princess, and Xia Yunxian knew that she couldn't afford to offend her.
But after hearing Bai Yujing's serious reminder, she immediately raised her eyebrows, "Could it be that the princess is here for me?"
"...Why do you think so? Haha."
Bai Yujing subconsciously avoided her gaze, and a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
This look fell in Xia Yunxian's eyes, and the pink fists in her sleeves were already rattling.
There are indeed too many things in this life that are beyond her knowledge. Ever since she knew that someone wanted to kill her, Xia Yunxian has become more cautious in everything. She regards all suspicious people as imaginary enemies, and it is always right to be vigilant.
Bai Yujing didn't expect that Xia Yunxian's intuition was so accurate, and he didn't want her to wade too deep in this muddy water, so he could only cover it up and said, "Now that she has a marriage issue, she doesn't dare to be unscrupulous, and we also have something in our hands." Card."
"But I don't want to play cards with the princess."
Xia Yunxian smiled faintly, and Bai Yujing was stunned. He could only cough twice to hide his embarrassment.
The guilty man in front of him suddenly brightened up, "Someone is coming!"
Before Xia Yunxian could react, a gust of breeze blew by, and he rolled out of the car window very smoothly. The dignified Dali Temple Minister was so proficient in escaping, it was really difficult for him.
Xia Yunxian endured a feeling of suffocation in his chest when he heard a cautious voice coming from outside the car.
"Is this the Crown Prince's wife in the car? The servant is from Zhaoqing Palace, and my wife has invited her."
Zhaoqing Palace, Concubine Chen?
Xia Yunxian took a deep breath. If Princess Yinghua's mother-in-law, Concubine Xue, was once very favored, then Concubine Chen today is more or less the shadow of the concubine back then. It was the time when she was in the limelight.
A year ago, Concubine Chen was pregnant and was in her prime. When many people thought that the harem was about to change again, an accident unexpectedly caused her to have a miscarriage. Since then, there has been no news about her.
I don’t know if it was because of the pain of losing her son that Concubine Chen began to live in seclusion. Now many new people have entered the palace. She came to see Xia Yunxian at this time...
Thinking of Bai Yujing's words just now, she knew that this card had to be played.
