Yun Ji glanced at Taiwei Ji who was lying on the ground. Surprisingly, he didn't embarrass him. Just when everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they saw him walking towards Ji Nanyan. "Are you... Ji Nanyan, the daughter of Lieutenant Ji?"
Yun Ji looked down at the kneeling woman in front of him with a condescending look.
"Return...report to the third prince, it is my little girl."
The girl kneeling on the ground straightened up and said neither humble nor arrogantly.
"Did I, the prince, ask you to stand up? Didn't the etiquette nuns in the palace go to your house to teach you the palace rules? Don't you know that in this huge palace, if the master doesn't let you stand up, you are not allowed to stand up without permission? There are no rules!"
Yun Ji glanced at Ji Nanyan, who looked embarrassed, and showed no sympathy at all. What he said was also merciless. And Captain Ji behind him looked extremely embarrassed!
A daughter's family who has not yet left the court was reprimanded by the third prince in public for being unruly. If these words spread, it will be very damaging to Ji Nanyan's reputation.
"Raise your head and let me, the prince, have a look."
Yun Ji shouted at Ji Nanyan again. Ji Nanyan looked up and looked like she was about to cry. I really felt pity for him!
"How ugly!"
Yun Ji said a word and ran away.
Little did they know that his words made everyone present feel embarrassed, especially the Ji family members, whose faces were as pale as dirt and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in!
This third prince really has a troublesome temperament. The daughter of the Ji family has been humiliated by him before she even entered the palace. One can imagine how embarrassed the Ji family is.
If this matter had happened to anyone else, he might have been so ashamed that he was ashamed, but who was Ji Nanyan? Her father was not a fuel-efficient person to begin with, so she was naturally better than his predecessor.
Not only did Ji Nanyan show no intention of retreating, but after Yun Ji walked away, she stood up and stared at Yun Ji's back with a predatory look in her eyes.
"What are you doing kneeling on such a hot day? Get up quickly!"
Yun Ji walked up to Bai Yanqing, bent down and helped her up personally!
This enthusiastic and flattering behavior was completely different from the attitude towards Ji Nanyan just now!
hot?
Bai Yanqing was speechless. This autumn morning was so cool, where was the heat? She still felt a little cold!
"Thank you, Third Prince!"
Bai Yanqing took two steps back without leaving a trace, putting some distance between herself and Yun Ji. He is so careless and casual, but people with serious intentions may not think so.
"Is breakfast available? It's definitely not available! I see you guys came in a hurry."
Yun Ji didn't care about the looks of others, he could do whatever he wanted and say whatever he wanted. Who dares to comment?
"This is a snack that I, the prince, personally went to the imperial kitchen to ask for early in the morning. You can't taste it outside! Try it! It's still hot!"
Yun Ji ordered someone to hand over a food box, and then held it up to Bai Yanqing in front of everyone, looking like he was trying his best to take credit and please him!
Bai Yanqing was helpless, couldn't these three princes keep a low profile? If he makes such a fuss, he will definitely become a thorn in the flesh of these girls from aristocratic families in the future! Although she agreed to Yun Ji that day, it seems now that the emperor has not agreed openly. In other words, regarding this matter... maybe the emperor has other ideas.
In this case, Bai Yanqing intuitively felt that she should not get too close to Yun Ji now. In order to avoid being based on the facts and being fabricated by others.
"Third Prince, we give and receive privately...this reputation spreads. It's not good for you or me!"
Bai Yanqing said to Yun Ji in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is a reward from this prince! Since it is a royal reward, you cannot refuse it!"
Yun Ji was also smart and made an emergency response immediately. His words were neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough for everyone present to hear them!
Since it is a reward, others cannot make random guesses or fabricate rumors.
Bai Yanqing couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to take her life
Star accepted.
"Thank you, Third Prince, for the reward!"
Bai Yanqing bent her knees and returned the gift respectfully, making it impossible for anyone to find fault at all.
"Third Prince, everyone is still kneeling, please speak up!"
Bai Yanqing gritted her teeth and whispered to Yun Ji. Hearing this, Yun Ji seemed to suddenly remember, and then he spoke calmly and asked the person who was kneeling on the ground to get up!
After hearing this, everyone stood up one after another.
Just when everyone thought everything was calm, another lean figure appeared. After everyone saw his appearance clearly, they all knelt on the ground.
"Greetings to the eldest prince!"
All the ministers who were sending their daughters off said in unison. And those family members who didn't know why also followed suit and knelt on the ground, kowtow and worship.
Seeing this, Bai Yanqing had a headache. Is this... kneeling endlessly? But everyone was kneeling down, how could she not kneel down? So, even though her body was not very smooth, Bai Yanqing still followed and knelt down steadily.
Bai Yanqing's bones have been weak since she was a child, and she cannot bear the cold air. On this autumn morning, the floor tiles in front of the palace are especially cold. She can still clearly feel the coldness through her clothes. The chill of the bones.
"Miss Bai, get up quickly! Why are you kneeling in such a cold place?"
As soon as the eldest prince opened his mouth, his stupidity was revealed.
Everyone knew that the person who was kneeling was the eldest prince, but Yunqi himself was better off, but he said that Bai Yanqing was kneeling on the ground. The only thing that made people laugh was that the eldest prince, who was not very smart, Only then can I say it. ..
But Bai Yanqing did not laugh secretly at Yun Qi's stupidity like others. She was supported by Cai Xing, stood up steadily, and then knelt down to bless her. She was polite and courteous, and acted like a lady, so that others could not find anything wrong with her.
Seeing Bai Yanqing stand up, Yun Qi immediately stepped forward happily, and then pretending to be mysterious, he took out a food box behind him!
Food box again?
Bai Yanqing's head was full of black lines. Did the two brothers discuss this?
"This is made by the chef in my palace. It's delicious! I heard that you were entering the palace today, so I ran over quickly! I let my third brother take the lead!"
Yun Qi handed the food box to Bai Yanqing while complaining with aggrieved face.
In the eyes of others, Yun Qi looks childish and naive, but in Bai Yanqing's eyes, Yun Qi still has a childlike innocence, which is really interesting and cute. Surprisingly, these pastries are not sweet, but salty! The filling inside has been fried in thin oil so that it is not too greasy. The outside is wrapped in thin dough and steamed in a steamer. Even if you eat it early in the morning, you won't feel greasy. Dip it in the chef's secret rice vinegar, it's sour and extremely appetizing!
"They're all delicious!"
Bai Yanqing squinted her eyes and looked at the two brothers with a smile. How dare she be picky about the food sent by the princes? He had no choice but to speak against his will.
But having said that, Bai Yanqing did prefer the snacks brought by the eldest prince.
"As long as Miss Bai likes it!"
Yunqi was as happy as a child when he saw that Bai Yanqing liked her. If it hadn't been an eyesore to everyone present, he would have pulled Bai Yanqing around in circles excitedly!
Thinking of "everyone", Bai Yanqing suddenly remembered that over there, all the ministers and family members were still kneeling! So, Bai Yanqing had to ask for favors from everyone again!
"First Prince, look, everyone is still kneeling! This floor tile... is cold!"
"Is it cold? Why don't I feel it?"
The eldest prince looked indifferent, but he didn't know whether he really didn't notice it or whether he didn't notice it on purpose!
"My father is old and cannot kneel for that long. Please forgive me, the eldest prince!"
Bai Yanqing had a severe headache. This eldest prince... was really... ugh...
"Oh, yes, yes! Then, Prime Minister Bai, get up quickly!"
Hearing this, Yun Qi quickly turned around and reached out his hand to pull Bai Jingxuan up!
As for the others, Yun Qi turned a deaf ear, as if there was no one else in his eyes.
General.
"Thank you, eldest prince!"
Bai Jingxuan stood up and bowed to thank Yunqi.
The father and daughter of the Bai family are polite and polite, and no one can say anything if they let others go!
"Then they..."
Bai Yanqing had no choice but to wink at Yunqi and signal him to let everyone get up.
"They are willing to kneel to me, the prince, don't you think so? Lieutenant Ji?"
Yunqi turned around, towards where Taiwei Ji's family was, and spoke slowly and leisurely. That expression should be so innocent, so sincere, so sincere.
"Yes! The veteran and his family are all willing to do it!"
Speaking of which, Taiwei Ji had to be willing even if he didn't want to.
Bai Yanqing naturally knew that the two eldest prince brothers were venting their anger on her behalf! However, at the same time, they also unknowingly established a powerful enemy for themselves! Look, this Taiwei Ji's family is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
Bai Yanqing felt that her head was buzzing, and she had an intuition that when she entered the palace in the future, the daughter of the Ji family would probably regard her as a thorn in her side!
"You see, they are very willing! It is their blessing to have them kneel to me!"
Yun Qi said proudly, not paying any attention to the gray faces of the entire Ji family behind him.
Bai Yanqing was helpless, but the person in front of her was the emperor's son. How dare she dare to comment on his decision-making? He had to keep his smile on his face and laugh twice awkwardly.
The Yunqi brothers didn't seem to notice anything was wrong. The two of them waited at the palace gate with Bai Yanqing, waiting for the time to arrive, while they bickered with each other leisurely. The quarrel was very enjoyable. It seems that they have long forgotten that there is a group of people kneeling behind them!
For a time, Bai Yanqing's status instantly surpassed that of all the noble ladies from the aristocratic families present!
