The quiet little courtyard has a tranquility far away from the world. Update without error@
Every day he spent here was the most relaxing for Bai Yanqing. Eating freshly pulled vegetables from the ground, nibbling freshly picked fruits from the trees, drinking sweet mountain spring water... Move a rocking chair and lie in the courtyard to bask in the sun. The breeze blows, and even the wind is mixed with a hint of sweetness. The fragrance of osmanthus...
All of this is freedom and relaxation that cannot be found in such a huge palace!
"Miss, it's time to take medicine!"
Caixing was holding a bowl of dark stuff, which smelled of a bitter herbal smell.
Bai Yanqing frowned: "Leave it alone and drink it later!"
"Miss!"
Caixing put one hand on his hip and held the medicine bowl in the other, stamping his feet vigorously! The annoyance was clearly visible on his face.
Bai Yanqing pretended not to see it, closed her eyes, lay on the rocking chair, and swayed leisurely! The angry Caixing wanted to take a stick and beat Bai Yanqing up!
Whose master drinks medicine as if it would kill him? There is only Bai Yanqing!
"Lady!"
A male voice sounded in this empty countryside. Bai Yanqing was startled and she quickly got up! He grabbed the medicine bowl from Caixing's hand, pinched his nose, and poured it directly into his mouth!
"Cough cough cough..."
Without warning, I drank too much and choked.
"Miss, please slow down! No one is competing with you for the medicine bowl!"
Cai Xing was anxious, angry and funny. She hurriedly patted Bai Yanqing's back to calm her down, for fear that she would choke!
"Your Highness must be able to cure you!"
Caixing teased with a smile while stroking Bai Yanqing's back.
Only Yunqi can cure Bai Yanqing's bad habit of not liking medicine. Otherwise, why do they say that one thing will bring down another? Bai Yanqing, who is not afraid of anything, is just afraid of drinking medicine! But as soon as Yunqi appears, she promises to immediately pick up the medicine bowl and do it!
"My wife, you are so good today! Here is my reward for you!"
Yunqi reached out and handed Cai Xing a food box.
Caixing took the food box and opened it. There were all kinds of snacks inside! Caixing covered her mouth and smiled, carrying the food box and running to the kitchen!
Bai Yanqing rolled her eyes at Yun Qi, how could Cai Xing know? Bai Yanqing is not afraid of Yunqi, she is afraid that Yunqi will personally "feed" her the medicine!
Thinking of the past few days... Bai Yanqing's cheeks felt hot unconsciously. How could anyone give medicine by mouth?
"So many eyes are staring at you! Just drink the medicine obediently! These medicines are good for your body and harmless. I secretly asked Doctor Hua to replace them with tonics for you!"
Yun Qi leaned over and whispered in Bai Yanqing's ear.
It's obviously a familiar smell, familiar voice, and familiar person, but for some reason, every time Yun Qi comes near her, Bai Yanqing always turns red without realizing it!
"The noble concubine was punished by her father!"
Yunqi pretended to be casual and looked around, then he put his ear into Bai Yanqing's ear and said to her again!
"Why?"
Bai Yanqing was shocked, and her intuition told her that this matter had something to do with her! Otherwise, Yunqi would not have told her this matter for no reason!
In Bai Yanqing's image, she felt that Concubine Xian was... a person with many worries and secrets! Concubine Xian seems to be unfavorable, but her obedience and tenderness towards the emperor all reveal that she is also trying her best to please the emperor!
All the princes are secretly competing for the position of prince! The fifth prince Yun Kai, the son of Concubine Xian, seems to be... without any doubt, also trying his best for that position!
But what puzzled Bai Yanqing was that Concubine Xian seemed to be helping Yunqi during the Double Ninth Festival! Logically speaking, she should let her son shine in front of the emperor! Besides, Yun Kai seems to be the same as his mother and concubine. She seems to be the most favored, but she is also the most low-key. On weekdays, she has very little contact with other princes!
Such a mysterious woman made Bai Yanqing feel a little more curious about her!
"You are able to leave the palace this time, thanks to the contribution of the noble concubine."
Yun Qi reached out and took the snacks that Cai Xing had placed on the plate, and stuffed a piece into Bai Yanqing's mouth.
The soft, glutinous and sweet snacks won Bai Yanqing's heart. actually,.
Bai Yanqing doesn't like sweets very much, but for some reason, the snacks Yun Qi brings over always make her take more bites!
"Why did Concubine Xian help us?"
Bai Yanqing was even more puzzled. Concubine Xian and Bai Yanqing were not related, so how could they help Bai Yanqing for nothing?
Yunqi shook his head. He was also very puzzled by Concubine Xian's behavior! On weekdays, the two Yunqi brothers, who share the same noble concubine, are almost strangers to each other. Only during holidays and festivals, when the emperor held banquets, they only glanced at each other a few times, but they were just nodding and bowing.
"Then... is Yi'er implicated?"
Thinking of that soft and cute little girl, the corners of Bai Yanqing's mouth were filled with a smile unconsciously. @
Yun Qi shook his head and said that the emperor did not severely punish the concubine Xian, and Yun Yi and Yun Kai were not implicated. After hearing this, Bai Yanqing felt a little relieved!
In the evening, another guest came to the small courtyard.
The sound of horse hooves shattered the tranquility of the small courtyard for a moment. A slender middle-aged man jumped off his horse and rushed straight into the courtyard with long strides.
Yuan Li's sword quickly unsheathed and stabbed the middle-aged man.
"Yuan Li, stop!"
At that time, Bai Yanqing just walked out of the house and was about to go to the kitchen to get something, when she saw that familiar figure! And... Yuan Li's unsheathed sword!
Hearing this, Yuan Li quickly put away the sword in his hand!
"uncle!"
Bai Yanqing suppressed her inner excitement, trotted to the middle-aged man's side, and shouted in a low voice.
"Why does uncle have time to come here today?"
Bai Yanqing took Ji Jinxiu's arm and said coquettishly.
Ji Jinxiu had a cold aura, and it looked like he had been in a hurry for a long time.
"I'm not at ease with that brat Nanjing's work. I'd better come over and take a look in person to put my mind at ease!"
Ji Jinxiu patted the dust on his body, straightened his clothes, and then followed Bai Yanqing into the house.
"It's not convenient to talk here, uncle, let's go inside and talk!"
Bai Yanqing looked around warily, then pulled Ji Jinxiu into the house.
"The emperor's suspicion has not diminished at all!"
After Ji Jinxiu entered the house, he took off his black robe, revealing his original clothes underneath.
Bai Yanqing sighed, feeling helpless.
"It will be your birthday in a few days. In order to avoid suspicion, it will be inconvenient for the Ji family to show up! I brought you a congratulatory gift in advance today!"
As Ji Jinxiu spoke, he took out a small box from his arms. The exquisite small wooden box with the phoenix carved on it is lifelike!
Bai Yanqing reached out and carefully took the small wooden box.
"Open it and take a look, do you like it?"
Ji Jinxiu looked at Bai Yanqing expectantly, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't like the gift he prepared for her.
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing stretched out her hand with a smile and opened the small wooden box!
A luminous pearl!
Even under the candlelight, it looks unusually bright!
"Look again!"
Ji Jinxiu extinguished all the candles in the room, then held the luminous pearl against the wall, and saw a golden phoenix fluttering about to fly on the wall!
"amazing!"
Bai Yanqing couldn't help but exclaimed! In the past, Bai Yanqing had only heard that luminous pearls could light up the night, but this was the first time she saw a luminous pearl that could illuminate a golden phoenix! It’s really strange!
"Put this away, and don't let others see it! Otherwise... I might get into big trouble!"
Ji Jinxiu carefully put the luminous pearl back into the wooden box, and then gave Bai Yanqing many instructions.
"Uncle promised to send me a gift, but why did he bring me such a big trouble?"
Bai Yanqing joked with a smile, then carefully put away the night pearl and hid it in her sleeve.
"You will know the wonders of this bead in the future! Just remember, no matter when or where, don't show it in front of others! You must guard it!"
Ji Jinxiu seemed to still be worried, and before leaving, he couldn't help himself.
, and babbled a few more words.
"If it's so precious, why did uncle give it to me?"
Bai Yanqing was still puzzled. She felt that Ji Jinxiu was a bit arrogant tonight, which was completely different from usual times!
"It! It was originally yours!"
Ji Jinxiu jumped on the horse's back, then rode away. The words he said before leaving are still lingering in the wind!
Bai Yanqing was even more confused. She subconsciously touched the small wooden box in her sleeve. She always felt that everything that happened tonight was extremely weird!
Just as Bai Yanqing was staring blankly in the direction where Ji Jinxiu was going, she suddenly felt something beneath her feet, crawling up her trouser legs! She was so scared that she didn't dare to move!
This countryside is full of snakes, insects, rats, and ants! At this moment, the sky was getting dark, and Bai Yanqing really didn't dare to move rashly, lest she be bitten by that thing!
"Caixing! Caixing! Yuanli! Come here quickly!"
Bai Yanqing's voice was slightly trembling.
Cai Xing and Yuan Li were not far from Bai Yanqing originally, but when they heard her call, they hurried over!
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Caixing saw Bai Yanqing motionless and felt something was wrong!
"Caixing, please help me see what is crawling up my trouser legs!"
Bai Yanqing felt that the thing had crawled up to her thigh, and immediately asked Cai Xing to take a look at it for her!
With the help of the candle in Yuan Li's hand, Cai Xing lifted up the hem of Bai Yanqing's skirt and suddenly saw a small snake squirming up Bai Yanqing's pants!
"It's... a snake..."
Caixing swallowed. Although her scalp was numb at the moment, she still held on and did not retreat!
"Yuan...Yuanli...you, please give me that wooden stick! I...I'll pick it away!"
Caixing gritted her teeth and looked at the slowly squirming snake. She was about to burst into tears!
"Snake? With this weather, why are there snakes?"
Bai Yanqing felt strange. It was already late autumn. Logically speaking, snakes should be looking for caves and preparing to hibernate. Where could they come out and crawl on people?
When Bai Yanqing heard that it was a snake, she was no longer afraid! She thought of that little white snake she caught in the palace! Before leaving the palace, she still let it go! She secretly thought that she herself was looking forward to a broader and freer living environment, let alone a snake? It is also a must. If you don’t want to be used as a bracelet all day long, hide it in your sleeve!
Bai Yanqing bent down, lifted up the hem of her skirt, then stretched out her hand, between her legs, and quickly grabbed it, fast, accurate and hard! When Bai Yanqing picked up the snake and took a look, she was stunned: "Xiao Bai?"
Caixing was stunned when he heard this!
"Xiaobai... wasn't he let go by the young lady in the palace? How could it come to this countryside? Will the young lady admit her mistake?"
Caixing stared at the snake in Bai Yanqing's hand and said in disbelief. Then, she took the candlestick from Yuan Li's hand and took a photo of it in Bai Yanqing's hand. It was indeed a small white snake! . @*~~
