In this huge palace, there are no less hidden secrets than in the big mansions outside. If you want to live a safe and smooth life, the only thing you can do is to learn to keep your ears open to what is going on outside the window and your eyes to keep away from the mundane world, only then can you have a good death!
"One thing more is worse than one thing less." This is what Bai Yanqing kept telling herself secretly after entering the palace.
Bai Yanqing sighed secretly again, and then, without hesitation, closed the window tightly and stopped thinking about it!
In the outer room, the sound of Cai Xing's deep sleep could already be heard. This girl really... can sleep so soundly wherever she goes!
Bai Yanqing walked quietly to Cai Xing's bed and looked at her quilt, which almost fell to the ground! So he raised his hand, gently pulled up her quilt, covered her again, and then tiptoed back to his bed!
The doors and windows were closed tightly, not even the slightest bit of moonlight could penetrate. Bai Yanqing touched the darkness, opened the quilt, and got in gently. The quilt was newly dried, and there was still the smell of sunshine on it. Bai Yanqing pulled the quilt up, covered her face, smelled the smell of sunshine, and slowly fell into sleep...
On the first night after entering the palace, Bai Yanqing tossed and turned until midnight before falling asleep leisurely.
In the early morning of the next day, Bai Yanqing woke up to the sound of piercing screams.
Bai Yanqing rubbed her groggy eyes, feeling slightly unhappy in her heart. She didn't know who was torturing others like this so early in the morning!
"Caixing, Caixing! Go and see what's going on!"
Bai Yanqing felt really sleepy, and she really didn't want to get up and take a look. He had no choice but to open his mouth and call Cai Xing to inquire about it.
Cai Xing goes to bed early and wakes up early. At this moment, Bai Yanqing had just returned from giving her face wash when she also heard screams.
"Slave, go now!"
After Cai Xing entered the palace, he became more respectful and cautious. Originally, when she and Bai Yanqing were in the White Mansion, they always spoke in terms of "I" and "I", no one was superior or inferior. Now, after entering the palace, she knew how to avoid taboos and began to call herself "slave".
Although Bai Yanqing said that she didn't care much about this, after all, the two of them, master and servant, were now in the palace, and things were different! It’s better to pay more attention when in front of others and behind others, so as not to fall into the blame of others.
Not long after, Cai Xing ran into the house happily with cheerful steps.
Just looking at her excited expression, Bai Yanqing guessed that one of these beautiful girls had caused something, right?
"Look at you like that, tell me, who is it? What's the matter?"
Seeing the unconcealed joy on Caixing's face, Bai Yanqing became a little interested.
"Is it that chicken...a chicken or some kind of duck...?"
Cai Xing frowned. She really couldn't remember the name of the daughter of the Taiwei family.
"Ji Nanyan? What happened to her?"
When she heard that it was Ji Nanyan again, Bai Yanqing was a little uninterested. She really had no interest in the Ji family!
"Miss, you can come out with me and take a look, and you'll know! I can't tell... I can't tell!"
Cai Xing was anxious and gesticulating with joy, but couldn't explain what was going on.
Bai Yanqing had no choice but to stand up, straighten her clothes, and then was half-dragged by Cai Xing, reluctantly out the door and walked towards Ji Nanyan's room.
When Bai Yanqing walked to Ji Nanyan's house, she found that the door and windows of Ji Nanyan's house were already crowded with people! Even Aunt Fang is here!
Such a big battle? What is going on?
Could it be that Ji Nanyan is dead! No, no, no, no, if she dies, then who was the one screaming just now?
At this time, Bai Yanqing's curiosity was also aroused!
"Miss, come closer!"
Cai Xing has a great look, sighing that he doesn't live up to expectations! Then he stretched out his hand and pulled Bai Yanqing closer. The beauty was even more real!
When Bai Yanqing saw the scene in front of her clearly, she was also shocked!
This...is...Ji Nanyan? ? ? ..
The people sitting in the room, looking at their clothes and headgear, do look like Ji Nanyan
...but...what does her face look like? !
I saw that the whole face of the person sitting in the room had been smeared with something like ink! Not only that, looking at the water and wash basins scattered on the ground, it is not difficult to guess that Ji Nanyan must have tried to wash his face with water! But no matter how she scratched her skin, the blackness on her face was not wiped off at all!
Seeing Cai Xing gloating about her misfortune, Bai Yanqing was afraid that she would offend Ji Nanyan, so she quickly pulled her away.
"Be careful and don't let others take advantage of you."
Bai Yanqing pulled Cai Xing and reminded her.
Hearing this, Cai Xing quickly lowered his head, pinched the corners of his clothes, and suppressed his smile.
Bai Yanqing stepped forward to inquire about it, and then she learned the whole story from the mouths of other beautiful ladies!
It turned out that when Ji Nanyan woke up in the morning, she found that her face had been splashed all over with black ink at some point! However, she had closed the doors and windows before going to bed last night. Her maid can confirm this!
According to Ji Nanyan's maid, Ji Nanyan always has the habit of carefully checking the doors and windows before going to bed, and it was the same last night! But who would have expected that they slept until this morning and found that the door to their house was wide open! Not only that, Ji Nanyan's face was also smeared with ink. What made the two masters and servants even more angry was that something was added to the ink, but it couldn't be removed no matter how hard it was scrubbed!
The door of Ji Nanyan's house was broken open in the middle of the night, but neither the master nor the servant noticed it? Not only that, no one noticed in the entire Chuxiu Palace! This matter is really strange!
Wait, that’s not right! It’s not like the entire Chuxiu Palace was unnoticed! Bai Yanqing suddenly remembered the figure that passed by when she closed the window last night!
Could it be that... the figure Bai Yanqing saw at that moment was the person who broke into Ji Nanyan's door?
But that person didn't harm Ji Nanyan's life, so why did he... ruin her face?
In fact, it doesn't count as ruining Ji Nanyan's face. Bai Yanqing had already noticed that the ink on Ji Nanyan's face was filled with vinegar. Adding vinegar to thick ink will make the color of the ink darker and brighter, making it less likely to fade. As long as you scrub it with warm water several times a day, it will be clean in a few days!
Obviously, the person who splashed Ji Nanyan's ink didn't really want to kill her or disfigure her, but just... wanted to embarrass her!
So here’s the question. Ji Nanyan just entered the palace yesterday. Logically speaking, apart from the friction with Bai Yanqing, she didn’t have any issues with anyone else?
Thinking of this, Bai Yanqing suddenly felt bad!
"Bai Yanqing! Stop!"
Just as Bai Yanqing was about to run away, she heard Ji Nanyan's cry from inside the house!
Bai Yanqing only felt that her head hurt so much, hey... whatever you are afraid of!
"Miss Ji, what are your orders?"
Bai Yanqing took back her stepped foot, turned around, and greeted him with a smile.
"Tell me, is it you? Are you jealous of me because I am treated differently by the Third Prince, so you sneaked into my room in the middle of the night and wanted to ruin my face?"
Ji Nanyan faced the strange looks from everyone and asked Bai Yanqing.
"I, the Bai family, are upright and aboveboard and never do sneaky things! Besides, I see that the third prince is very impatient with you. Why should I be jealous? Oh, by the way, boredom is treated differently, right? ! Just this face of yours is already ugly enough. You deserve it. How can I go to such lengths to destroy it? Can I bear it after I’ve eaten enough?”
Bai Yanqing's every word is precious, and when it comes to quarrels, she never loses to anyone!
"Bai Yanqing, you...you...you!"
Ji Nan was so fuming that she couldn't even speak!
"Me? How am I? I was slandered by you early in the morning, as soon as I opened my eyes. Could it be that I still have to provide for you?"
Bai Yanqing entered the palace to run for election with the purpose of not offending others. However, if someone deliberately provokes her, then she is not the one who can be slaughtered by others!
Just as Bai Yanqing and Ji Nanyan were arguing endlessly, a figure quietly approached Chu Xiu Palace!
"Hahahahahahaha... What the hell is this? Hahahaha..."
A male voice smiled wildly, causing everyone to look around!
"Third Prince?"
Aunt Fang was the first to notice the identity of the visitor!
"Meet the Third Prince!"
When everyone heard this, they quickly turned around and knelt on the ground.
"Who is this? What is this thing on your face?"
The third prince stared at Ji Nanyan in the room, smiling wildly and eye-catchingly.
When Ji Nanyan saw Yun Ji, she burst into tears with grievance. While crying, she accused Bai Yanqing!
Upon hearing that Ji Nanyan pointed the finger at Bai Yanqing, Yun Ji was immediately unhappy!
"You ugly monster, why do you blame the eldest daughter of the Bai family? Moreover, with her fragile body, she can pry into your door? If you had a brain, you would not slander her like this!"
Yun Ji's words immediately killed Ji Nanyan! He said openly and secretly that Ji Nanyan, who is both ugly and good-looking, could still bear the blame that fell from the sky while staying in the room and sleeping?
"Who knows, did you pry the door open in the middle of the night and wrongly accuse Miss Bai?"
Yun Ji didn't give Ji Nanyan any face.
"I don't!"
Ji Nanyan was anxious. The third prince could humiliate her however he wanted, but he couldn't accuse her unjustly!
"You also know that it doesn't feel good to be wronged, so why do you have to bite Miss Bai? Do you have to accuse her wrongly?"
Yun Ji looked at Ji Nanyan indifferently, without any pity in his eyes.
Ji Nanyan was speechless for a moment. In fact, she also knew that it was untenable that she had no basis to accuse Bai Yanqing like this. However, she hates it, she is jealous! I am jealous that Bai Yanqing can get the third prince, so I have wronged Miss Bai family so harshly! "
When Yun Ji saw Ji Nanyan, he had nothing to say and became aggressive.
In the eyes of outsiders, the third prince was helping Bai Yanqing, but in Bai Yanqing's eyes, the truth of the matter was probably not the case.
"It seems that Miss Ji is determined to bite me and won't let go?"
Bai Yanqing stared at Ji Nanyan with burning eyes, and that look contained unspeakable meaning.
Hearing this, Ji Nanyan was stunned and didn't know how to respond.
"Third Prince, what do you think?"
Bai Yanqing looked at Yun Ji with another expression of unknown meaning. That look made Yun Ji panic.
"I...I think...this matter should be dropped! If we bring it to the attention of the Queen, I'm afraid the entire Chuxiu Palace will not be able to escape the blame!"
Yun Ji opened his mouth and wanted to put this matter to rest!
After all... someone sneaked into Chuxiu Palace in the middle of the night and made such a big mistake. To say the least, it was Ji Nanyan's personal enmity! To put it more seriously, it was the poor supervision of Chuxiu Palace that led to the invasion of thieves! This threatens not only Chuxiu Palace, but the safety of the entire palace! Maybe, we might even make trouble in front of the emperor!
"I think the Third Prince's words are reasonable and very good! Very good!"
Aunt Fang naturally heard the implication of the third prince’s words! She quickly took over the conversation and climbed down the pole!
When everyone saw this, of course they followed suit and nodded in agreement!
"What do you think? Miss Ji?! Huh!?"
Bai Yanqing turned around and asked Ji Nanyan!
Ji Nanyan was stunned for a moment. Under the expectant gazes of everyone, she had no choice but to nod her head aggrievedly and helplessly, and she agreed!
