In the tea shop, Yun Qi and Yun Ji received invitations from the Xingyue Kingdom's palace at the same time.
The content of the invitation was very simple. The general idea was that Yunqi and Yunji were invited to attend the canonization ceremony of Emperor Ji of the Xingyue Kingdom!
"Why doesn't my wife have an invitation?"
Yunqi looked at the palace servants who came to deliver invitations and only sent two invitations, and he was confused.
"This slave is only responsible for sending invitations. I don't know the rest. I'll leave first!"
The maid who came to deliver the invitation respectfully left after delivering the invitation.
Yunqi glanced at the invitation in his hand and frowned. This...the Queen of Star-Moon Kingdom, what exactly does this mean?
Bai Yanqing was very calm. She glanced at the invitations in Yunqi and Yunji's hands, then lowered her head as if nothing had happened and concentrated on peeling the peanuts on the table.
Bai Yanqing's actions are somewhat confusing to the readers! She has such a good relationship with Cai Xing, but in a few days, it will be Cai Xing's big day, but she has not received Cai Xing's invitation! This is somewhat...unreasonable both emotionally and rationally!
But Bai Yanqing, instead of being angry or resentful, was so calm and calm! This makes people, how can they not feel doubtful?
"Madam...are you okay?"
Yun Qi asked cautiously, for fear of offending Bai Yanqing!
Bai Yanqing shrugged and said nonchalantly, "What can happen to me?"
Yunqi can't see through Bai Yanqing anymore! It's already here, and she's still not angry? !
Strange, strange, really strange!
Bai Yanqing raised her eyes and rolled her eyes at Yunqi. Yun Qi wouldn't think that Bai Yanqing didn't know what he was thinking, right?
childish! How childish!
"The invitation you received must have been sent by someone from Xiyue Emperor Ji, right?"
Bai Yanqing dropped a peanut in his mouth and chewed it carefully.
In fact, Bai Yanqing still likes to eat peanuts. They are crunchy and fragrant. There are few dried fruits that are as fragrant as peanuts!
Of course, there is another reason, and that is... Cai Xing once told her to eat more peanuts to nourish the stomach, replenish blood, and relieve fatigue. However, Caixing is talking about raw peanuts! Not fried peanuts!
Raw peanuts have a raw smell, and although they are chewy, they are not crispy enough! Bai Yanqing can't get used to it! In comparison, she still prefers to eat fried peanuts! Crispy and fragrant, with endless aftertaste!
"how do you know?"
Bai Yanqing's words instantly aroused Yun Ji's curiosity!
Bai Yanqing raised her eyebrows without comment.
Xiyue's thoughts are known to everyone on the road, so how could Bai Yanqing not guess it?
In a few days, it will be the day when Cai Xing can be canonized as the Imperial Concubine. Bai Yanqing has been thinking about what gift she should give Cai Xing so that she can not only lose face but also highlight the affection between the two of them!
As for other things, Bai Yanqing didn't pay attention at all.
These days, Bai Yanqing is always missing from morning to night! Even Yunqi couldn't find her!
On this day, Yun Qi woke up very early and stayed in front of Bai Yanqing's room just to watch over her! He wanted to see what Bai Yanqing was busy with these days!
With a "beep" sound, Bai Yanqing's door opened from the inside! The girl, who had been fully dressed for a long time, rushed out with great interest!
When Yunqi saw this, he didn't say anything, but followed closely behind him cautiously! He was very curious about what Bai Yanqing was going to do when he went out so early!
The sky was not yet clear and gray. If Yun Qi hadn't had good eyesight, he would have been lost long ago!
Bai Yanqing walked to the end of the long street, then suddenly stopped her feet, turned around and walked quickly towards the alley on the right!
Yunqi followed quickly without stopping at all!
The alley was very deep, and Yun Qi walked for a long time without reaching the end. He became more and more suspicious, why on earth did Bai Yanqing come here?
Yunqi quickened his pace and ran forward gropingly. gradually,
Next to his ears, there were beating sounds one after another! Listen to... the sound of forging iron like a blacksmith shop!
As Yunqi got closer, the "ding-dong-dang-dang" beating sound became clearer! In addition, Yunqi also heard a familiar voice!
"is this okay?"
"OK!"
"Polish it more finely!"
"Be careful!"
"Oh, I got it! Got it! That's so verbose!"
"Try harder! Haven't you eaten?"
The voices of a man and a woman rise and fall one after another! In this quiet morning, it was particularly harsh to Yunqi's ears!
It is unbearable!
Yunqi is angry!
"What are you doing?!"
Yun Qi rushed forward, pointed at the two people in front of him, and shouted loudly!
Oh, no, wrong, it’s three people!
When Yunqi saw clearly that there were three people in front of him, he was stunned!
"Your Highness? Why are you here?"
Bai Yanqing was obviously surprised by Yunqi's appearance!
"I……"
Yunqi hesitated, and for a moment, he was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer her!
"Tch, he's probably trying to catch a girl, right?"
The young man on the side crossed his arms and gloated.
"Catch a maid? Whose maid?"
Bai Yanqing glanced at the young man, his face full of astonishment!
Seeing that Yun Qi looked embarrassed, Bai Yanqing came to her senses within a moment! Z.br>
"What do you think we are doing, Your Highness?"
Bai Yanqing's face darkened slightly and she said displeased.
"Madam, you have misunderstood me! I saw that you have been very busy these days, and I wanted to come and see what you are busy with... I was wondering if there is anything I can do to help you!"
Yunqi said aggrievedly.
Seeing his appearance, Bai Yanqing's expression finally softened!
"I'm preparing a gift for Cai Xing!"
Bai Yanqing pointed to the thing at hand and explained.
Following Bai Yanqing's fingertips, Yun Qi saw something... shaped like a fan!
It looks like it's not finished yet!
"What's this?"
Staring at the thing on the iron table that looked like a fan but not like a fan, Yun Qi was filled with confusion. But after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes wide as if he remembered something!
"Hidden Sword Fan?!"
"yes!"
Bai Yanqing nodded and confirmed Yun Qi's words!
"Why did you prepare a gift for Cai Xing in secret and didn't tell me..."
I had to tell him!
Yunqi didn't dare to say this!
"How could I be sneaky!? I am aboveboard, right? But, this early in the morning, I was afraid of disturbing everyone's rest, so when I went out, I deliberately walked slowly!"
Bai Yanqing explained helplessly.
"The reason why I asked Luo Sheng for help is because he is from the Star-Moon Kingdom and he knows where the best blacksmith shop is in this city!"
Bai Yanqing glanced at Luo Sheng next to him, and then explained.
Yunqi knew that Bai Yanqing was telling the truth! He pursed his lips, feeling a little sorry for his recklessness!
Bai Yanqing naturally knew that Yun Qi was worried about herself, but he didn't care about anything else!
"This is...Xuantie?"
Yunqi stared at the half-polished fan bone on the iron table and couldn't help but exclaimed!
"Isn't that right? This is the treasure I begged for from grandpa and grandma! But she blackmailed me!"
Luo Sheng on the side was so distressed that he couldn't even hide it!
"What are you talking about? I paid the money! We both have enough money, so there's no way I'm trying to trick you!"
Bai Yanqing stared
Luo Sheng glanced at him with eyes full of contempt!
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, you paid one thousand taels of silver, right!"
Luo Sheng nodded helplessly in agreement.
It was clear that he had spent one hundred thousand taels to find a piece of black iron, but Bai Yanqing bought half of it for one thousand taels. How could this be so embarrassing for Luo Sheng? Who can he talk to for reason?
"How come you, Madam, want to give Cai Xing this gift?"
Yunqi suddenly asked.
Bai Yanqing has always been eccentric, and Yun Qi knows this very well! He originally thought that Bai Yanqing would give his daughter some household gadgets and Caixing! I never thought that she would prepare such a rare thing!
"That's all... thank you, Your Highness! If you hadn't given me this hairpin, I wouldn't have thought of giving Caixing this one!"
Bai Yanqing reached out, touched the hairpin in her bun, and said with a smile.
"how do you know……"
Yunqi hesitated, not knowing how to defend himself!
Obviously, when Bai Yanqing came back wearing this hairpin last time, she had already made it clear that she knew that Yun Qi had intentionally given this hairpin to her! The eight hundred taels of silver were just a symbolic collection! The value of this hairpin is more than eight hundred taels? Just eight thousand taels or eighty thousand taels? You can’t buy them all!
"How can I refuse His Highness's kind offer?"
Bai Yanqing's playful smile made Yunqi's anxious heart relax instantly!
Yun Qi has always been worried that Bai Yanqing would not accept his kindness. After all, she is the kind of woman who is arrogant and stubborn in her bones!
"Caixing is now... no better than before! People who are in the dragon's pond and tiger's den should have some ability to protect themselves!"
Bai Yanqing turned around and told the blacksmith to carefully polish the black iron fan bone while chatting with Yun Qi.
Yun Qi was silent, what Bai Yanqing said was indeed good. Caixing is no longer what it used to be, so he needs to start being more careful!
The fan bones are finely polished and the tips look extremely sharp. Bai Yanqing casually picked up the unfinished fan bone and waved it lightly! In addition to the faint smell of rust, there are also a few thin pieces of stone in the air!
That was Bai Yanqing, using the fan bone to cut off a piece of the stone pillar on the side!
"It's really sharp!"
Bai Yanqing couldn't help but praise!
"Have you thought about what kind of fan to use?"
Yunqi asked with a smile. He liked seeing Bai Yanqing so happy!
"Fans...I haven't thought about it yet..."
Bai Yanqing'e frowned slightly and hesitated.
"Such a good fan bone must be paired with the best fan surface!"
"Then...what kind of fan is the best?"
Bai Yanqing hesitated and asked Yun Qi for his opinion. She thought about it for several days, but she still had no idea what kind of fan to use!
"I do have something that can be used as a fan for this fan!"
Yunqi said mysteriously. Bai Yanqing's curiosity was instantly aroused!
"What is it?!"
Bai Yanqing asked impatiently!
Yunqi pretended to be mysterious and did not tell Bai Yanqing. He only told her to come back to him after the fan bone is formed!
Bai Yanqing's face was full of disappointment, but in her heart, she was still slightly hopeful!
Luo Sheng, who had been ignored for a long time, immediately made a voice of dissatisfaction.
"Hey, hey, hey, you two are showing off your affection now, aren't you going behind anyone's back?"
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi turned back to glare at Luo Sheng. Luo Sheng stared so hard that his hair stood on end!
"Prince Laoluo, keep an eye on this place for me! I'm a little hungry, so I'll go buy some food on the street. I'll come back later to check and accept it!"
Bai Yanqing rolled her eyes and winked at Yun Qi secretly before speaking to Luo Sheng.
Luo Sheng knew it well, but he had to cooperate with her.
"Go, go, don't forget to bring me some food too!"
"okay!"
Bai Yanqing said to Luo Sheng. Then, she took Yun Qi's hand, and the two of them walked towards the entrance of the alley.
"You believe him so much?"
Yunqi asked as he walked.
Regarding Luo Sheng's character, Yunqi always reserved some of his own opinions.
"We're just using each other!"
Bai Yanqing winked at Yunqi playfully, looking enigmatic!
Yun Qi was silent, he understood that Bai Yanqing has always been a person with ideas! She should know better than anyone what kind of person Luo Sheng is, right?
As Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi left, the blacksmith's work gradually slowed down! He raised his head and glanced at the direction Bai Yanqing and the two were leaving, then turned his head and looked at Luo Sheng with puzzled eyes.
"Have a good job, you don't need to worry about my affairs!"
Luo Sheng lowered his face and said to the blacksmith.
When the blacksmith heard this, he quickly lowered his head and continued to polish the fan bone carefully without saying a word.
Luo Sheng raised his eyes and looked at the entrance of the alley with a half-smile, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
