The imperial palace is a place where wealth, glory and turbulence coexist. It is where the most noble men and women of the Chen Kingdom live, as well as the most humble servants of the Chen Kingdom.
They live by relying on others, and if they are not careful, they will die without a burial place. Therefore, the person who can step into that palace gate and survive inside must be the person in the world who is most familiar with the rules of survival there.
Don't be surprised when things change. This is the most important rule and the one that cannot be forgotten.
To Bai Yanqing, these trivial matters in the Bai Mansion were unimportant, and there was no need to even raise his eyes to see them. Even such a trivial matter can make Cai Xing lose her sense of proportion. Then, if she enters the palace, how can she face all the big and small things in the palace calmly?
It's not that Bai Yanqing doesn't want to bring Cai Xing into the palace, she is afraid that with Cai Xing's temperament, he will suffer a big loss if he enters the palace. If Cai Xing's minor problems are not corrected, his life will be lost!
"Cai The most respected, most important place, and the place with the most red tape. That huge palace can eat people! So, we must start from now on, examine ourselves, and we can’t make any mistakes!"
Bai Yanqing's expression was so solemn that she had a serious expression on her face, with no trace of laughter or playfulness on her face.
In the Bai Mansion, Bai Yanqing could indulge Cai Xing's recklessness and naivety indefinitely, but once they stepped into the palace gate, what they both faced was life and death. She couldn't let Cai Xing take risks, so she would rather be strict with Cai Xing now than have Cai Xing lose his life due to recklessness in the future!
Otherwise there would be trouble, and Bai Yanqing had to be more cautious, and had to be ruthless and strict with Cai Xing.
"Yes, miss, I know my mistake."
At that time, Cai Xing also realized that she was being reckless again. She bowed to Bai Yanqing in a polite manner. When Bai Yanqing called her to stand up, she straightened up properly.
Caixing really wanted to enter the palace with Bai Yanqing, and she didn't want to leave her lady.
"What happened?"
Bai Yanqing asked casually while taking the handkerchief from Cai Xing and wiping her face.
"I heard that the person from Furong Pavilion had such a bad temper last night! She smashed everything in Furong Pavilion that could be smashed! And... I heard that she accidentally hurt herself..."
Cai Xing hesitated to speak, as if he had something to say and didn't know how to express it clearly.
Furong Pavilion is where Bai Yanqing's aunt Bai Furong and her two daughters live.
When Bai Yanqing's aunt Bai Furong was not married, her boudoir in the Bai Mansion was Furong Pavilion. After Bai Furong got married, Madam Ren of the Bai family missed her daughter, so Furong Pavilion was never willing to let anyone else move in. It was not until Bai Furong returned to the Bai Mansion a few years after she got married that she brought her two daughters with her. Then Furong Pavilion allowed the three of them to stay temporarily.
"That's what you say."
Seeing that Bai Yanqing agreed, Cai Xing dared to speak. Then he recounted it endlessly.
The general idea is that Lai Feiyan was angry at Grandma Sun yesterday. After returning to Furong Pavilion, she lost her temper, smashed things, beat and scolded the servants... In the end, she was accidentally pricked by the smashed porcelain on the sole of her foot, which caused a lot of blood. , the doctor was invited to the house overnight to bandage. Now I am not allowed to get out of bed and move around, and I have to take care of myself for a while!
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing just smiled and didn't say a word. Now, no matter how much Lai Feiyan attacks him, she doesn't care.
Just after receiving such a small amount of punishment, Lai Feiyan was so restive that she would shout and kill at every turn. With such a temper, how could she still benefit from her after entering the palace? Does she think the palace belongs to her family? She thought that everyone in the palace pampered her like her grandmother and allowed her to act like this?
Should I say she is naive or stupid?
However, Bai Yanqing still underestimated Lai Feiyan's methods. Even if she was stupid, she still had the Ren family and Bai Furong behind her!
What Bai Yanqing didn't expect was that Lai Feiyan unexpectedly won some praise from Grandma Sun because of her foot injury.
I thought that Lai Feiyan had injured her foot and must be resting in the house instead of attending classes. Unexpectedly, when Bai Yanqing brought Cai Xing to the front yard, Lai Feiyan already looked like she had been waiting for a long time!
At this moment, Lai Feiyan was standing quietly in Grandma Sun's courtyard, supported by her maid. Perhaps it was because her feet hurt and she had been standing for a long time. At this time, her face was pale and she looked a little fragile and pitiful.
"I'm an injured person, and I arrived early, but my sister, a person with sound limbs, insists on having everyone waiting for you. I haven't even become a princess yet, but I'm already putting on airs?"
Seeing Bai Yanqing step on her feet again, Lai Feiyan naturally took advantage of every opportunity and taunted her a few more times.
But, does Lai Feiyan really think that Bai Yanqing is still the poor little kid who let her bully her?
"Why is it that Sister Lai looks like this after not seeing her for just one night? Why is she... hurt?"
Bai Yanqing pretended not to know what was going on and stared at Lai Feiyan with concern. Those little eyes were really anxious.
"You...sister don't know something. Last night, a mouse came from nowhere and knocked over the candle. I...I was so anxious to put out the fire that I tripped and knocked my foot."
Lai Feiyan knew that she couldn't make any more noise in Grandma Sun's yard, so she had no choice but to swallow her anger and find an excuse to deal with the matter.
Lai Feiyan didn't believe that Bai Yanqing didn't know why her foot was injured. She was just trying to regain her respect by saying this, which would make her make another mistake in the eyes of Grandma Sun.
"Oh~ what a rat! The servants in this mansion were so indifferent to their 'guests' that they allowed that beast to sneak into Furong Pavilion. Today I must let my grandmother punish those blind people in Furong Pavilion!"
Bai Yanqing said with a half-smile.
A rat knocks over a candlestick? Still putting out the fire? It’s hard for Lai Feiyan to come up with such an excuse!
Before Lai Feiyan could refute, Grandma Sun came out of the house. Only then did she hold back the curses that came out of her mouth and stood obediently, not daring to move.
When Grandma Sun came out of the house, she caught a glimpse of Lai Feiyan, who was being supported by her maid. She looked a little haggard.
Grandma Sun frowned and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Lai Feiyan's maid was a quick-sighted woman. She supported Lai Feiyan, took a quick step forward, and then knelt down in front of Grandma Sun to apologize.
"Mom, please forgive me. My little girl was negligent and accidentally injured her legs and feet. Please punish me."
Even though Lai Feiyan was about to burst into tears because of the pain of kneeling down, she still endured the huge pain and knelt on the ground respectfully with the support of her maid.
Seeing this, Grandma Sun's expression softened slightly.
After all, no matter how strict Grandma Sun was, she could not soften her heart when she saw a pretty girl kneeling in front of her to apologize for her injured legs and feet. So, she allowed Lai Feiyan to get up, and then asked the palace maid nearby to arrange a chair for Lai Feiyan. She also specially changed the walking and kneeling ceremony that was originally going to be taught today to a tea ceremony for Lai Feiyan. In this way, Lai Feiyan can sit down and practice tea art without having to run back and forth.
From this point of view, Grandma Sun is not a harsh and cruel person, but she still has some compassion. This also made Lai Feiyan on the side feel a little proud. She knew that by kneeling down, she finally won a few glances of approval from Grandma Sun.
Bai Yanqing has been standing calmly on one side, indifferent to everything that happened in front of her, not surprised, not sad, not complaining or angry. As if he didn't care about the attitudes of others at all, he just sat quietly and listened to Grandma Sun's tea ceremony.
Besides, Cai Xing, who was on the side, had already secretly received Bai Yanqing's advice, and she also followed Bai Yanqing's side, never leaving. He turned a deaf ear to everything that happened in front of him. Zhenzhener did it without being surprised by any changes.
The actions of Bai Yanqing's master and servant all fell in the eyes of Grandma Sun. A trace of undetectable approval flashed in her stern eyes: The late empress was right after all. This girl from the Bai family is a person who can take on big responsibilities. woman. She looks great, and she has lived up to the expectations of many years.
In fact, Grandma Sun took the initiative to apply to come to Bai Mansion this time, firstly to teach her, and secondly to see Bai Yanqing. She was not sure, after so many years, what kind of temperament this legitimate daughter of the Bai family had, and whether she could carry out her last wishes. Now it seems that the consequences are really far-sighted.
…
More than a month passed in a flash, and in the early morning of this morning, the rapid sound of horse hooves broke through the tranquility of the morning, and they stopped urgently in front of the gate of Baifu. The sound of the horse's trampling made even the sleeping watchdog jump up in surprise!
Not long after, the porter reported that someone from the palace was here.
When everyone in the White Mansion hurriedly dressed up and rushed to the front door of the mansion, what they saw was the meticulously dressed Nanny Sun, who was standing by the steps in front of the door with simple luggage, as if It's been a long wait.
"Mom, what are you doing..."
Bai Jingxuan took the lead to step forward and ask questions.
After all, the three-month period has not yet expired. Looking at the situation in front of her, it seems that Grandma Sun is leaving early.
Could it be that something happened in the palace?
Nanny Sun did not explain much, she simply said that her mission to the White House had been completed, and now that the palace was calling her back, she would not be able to stay for a long time. She would only leave her personal maid behind, and when the three-month term was up, she would be The palace sent someone to pick him up.
Grandma Sun's face looked as usual, and there was no clue at the moment.
In this case, everyone in the White House did not say much. They only said a few polite words of farewell, and then let Nanny Sun get on the carriage.
"Mommy, my little girl has been deeply taught by her. She is grateful in her heart. She doesn't know how to repay her, so she has no choice but to give these extraneous things to her. I hope she won't dislike her."
Seeing Mrs. Ren wink at Lai Feiyan, Lai Feiyan quickly asked the maid aside to take out a wooden box and handed it over. While talking, he still managed to squeeze out a few tears of reluctance.
Who knows whether she really can't let go of Grandma Sun, or whether she can't let go of her box of precious jewelry?
Grandma Sun did not raise her eyes and allowed the palace maid aside to take the wooden box, but she said nothing.
"Have a nice trip, Mom."
Seeing that Lai Feiyan was almost done with her performance, Bai Yanqing slowly walked out of the crowd.
Then, Bai Yanqing winked at Cai Xing, who took out two exquisite white porcelain bottles from his sleeves. Then he handed it respectfully to the maid next to Grandma Sun.
"My little girl has been weak since she was a child and was raised outside the house. She doesn't have anything precious on her body. However, she has been ill for a long time and has some superficial medical skills. She seems to be not sleeping well these days, and she often has bruises under her eyes. Qing, so I found some common medicines and mixed them into pills. If grandma can’t sleep peacefully all night, she can take it with honey and water, and she can sleep peacefully after just one pill.”
Bai Yanqing looked at Grandma Sun and said softly, her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, polite and courteous, without any hint of pretentiousness.
However, compared with the precious things given by the two daughters of the Lai family, Bai Yanqing's two small porcelain bottles seemed particularly shabby.
Lai Feiyan on the side felt a little complacent when she saw this. However, she was obviously a little too proud, and she couldn't help but snorted "hum" in front of everyone.
